Arbe Robotics Announces Q3 2022 Financial Results

TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbe Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: ARBE) ("Arbe"), a global leader in next-generation 4D Imaging Radar Solutions, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Recent Highlights:

  • Arbe is on track to full production, with a first mass quantity commercial preliminary order from HiRain Technologies, the leading Chinese ADAS Tier 1 supplier, which has ordered 340,000 Arbe radar chipsets for 2023 and 2024.
    This quarter, Arbe and HiRain were selected to provide perception radars for autonomous trucks and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) across ports in China. Autonomous trucking is one of the fastest growing segments in the industry and is expected to lead the autonomous vehicle revolution. Together with HiRain, Arbe will help provide safety to this transformative market.
  • Arbe was selected by Veoneer, a leading active safety Tier 1, for its next generation radar. After five years of extensive research among 4D radar companies, Veoneer selected Arbe to provide the automotive industry with revolutionary radar-based solutions based on Arbe's chipsets. Veoneer has produced over 50 million radars to date, and the next generation radar with Arbe is expected to be in pre-production by mid-2023.

"Our relationships with industry-leading tier 1s Veoneer, Valeo, HiRain, and Weifu are strengthening. The significant preliminary order from HiRain is an auspicious beginning, moving Arbe into the mass production phase. With the announcement of Arbe's selection by Veoneer for its next-generation radar, and the promising engagement of tier 1s in requests for proposal (RFPs) and requests for quotation (RFQs) from major OEMs, we have every reason to expect that these relationships with tier 1s will broaden our reach and accelerate our path to market," said Kobi Marenko, Arbe's Chief Executive Officer.

"Arbe is aware of the changing market conditions across the entire automotive industry and is exceedingly well prepared for them. We have proactively adjusted our production timeline and reduced costs ensuring our resiliency in a time of uncertainties. We are confident that our strong balance sheet and adjusted cost structures will support our progress until market conditions stabilize and we reach the breakeven point," Marenko concluded.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

Revenues for Q3 2022 were $1.3 million, an increase from $0.6 million in Q3 2021. Backlog as of September 30, 2022, was $0.3 million. Gross margin in Q3 2022 was 72.5%, compared to 30.3% in Q3 2021, primarily related to economy of scale, revenue mix and lower cost per unit as we progress toward production.

Operating expenses in Q3 2022 were $11.8 million, compared to $8.5 million in Q3 2021. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by non-cash share-based compensation expenses, labor cost increase, and to a lesser extent, expenses associated with Arbe being a publicly traded corporation, partially offset by decrease in research and development materials. As a result, our operating loss increased from $8.3 million to $10.9 million.

Net loss in Q3 2022 was $9.9 million, compared to a net loss of $13.3 million in Q3 2021. The net loss in Q3 2022 included financial income of $1.0 million compared to $5.0 million of financial expenses in Q3 2021. Q3 2022 financial income resulted from interest deposits and favorable exchange rate revaluations partially offset by warrants revaluation expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2022, a non-GAAP measurement which excludes share-based compensation and non-recurring public offering expenses, yielded a loss of $8.4 million, compared to a loss of $8 million in Q3 2021.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

As of September 30, 2022, Arbe had $63.2 million in cash and cash equivalents with no debt.

Outlook

The Company revises its expectation for 2022 revenue to be in the range of $4 million to $7 million, compared to a prior range of $7 million to $11 million. At this stage, our revenues are based mainly on samples sales that can shift between quarters. Adjusted EBITDA remains in the range of $34 million loss to $38 million loss.
