SatixFy Announces First Quarter 2024 Results

SatixFy Communications Ltd. (the “Company” or “SatixFy”) (NYSE American: SATX), a pioneering force in next-generation satellite communication systems driven by in-house developed chipsets, has released its consolidated financial results as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2024

  • Total Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $1.9 million, a decrease of 20% compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, with the vast majority of the revenues derived from development services and pre-production.
  • Gross Profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.6 million (gross margin of 83%), a 62% increase from $1.0 million (gross margin of 41%) in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in gross profit and margin was due to the delivery of services with lower cost during the first quarter of 2024.
  • Operating loss was $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, up from $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly attributed to changes in our Research and Development (R&D) and General and Administrative expenses, as described below.
  • Expenses Breakdown:
    • Research and Development: $6.8 million, compared to $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2023. R&D expenses are mostly driven by the significant effort the Company is investing into the development of its space grade Application Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASICs”) in order to bring the ASICs to maturity. The increase in R&D expenses compared to the first quarter of last year is mostly attributed to increased efforts associated with post silicon expenses, along with a decrease of $1.1 million in grants received from the European Space Agency and UK government, which are recorded as offsets to R&D expenses.
    • Selling and Marketing: $0.5 million, compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was due to a decrease in payroll and related costs.
    • General and Administrative: $1.9 million, compared to $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was due to a slight decrease in payroll and related costs.
    • Finance expenses: $3.6 million, compared to $26.3 for the first quarter of 2023. Finance expenses were comprised mostly of accrued interest associated with the Company's debt and other liabilities.
  • Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $11.3 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $32.4 million, or $0.40 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 amounted to $10.0 million, compared to $14.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Management Commentary

Nir Barkan, Chief Executive Officer of SatixFy, commented, “Our Prime 2.0 and Sx4000 chips are currently at the customer sampling stages and we are well on track towards initial commercialization, which we expect by the end of the first quarter of 2025. SatixFy today stands at a key inflection point, and we look forward to tapping the fast-growing Low Earth Orbit (“LEO”) low-latency satellite market with our technology enabling broad data coverage, anywhere and at anytime. Specifically, our products will offer our customers the potential for significant capital expenditure savings, highly improved communication efficiencies and performance, enabling a broader coverage footprint using fewer satellites. We continue to remain focused on our R&D investments in order to bring our customers this highly compelling value proposition via our market-leading technology, which we believe will ultimately underpin tomorrow’s leading satellite communication systems.”
