New York, United States, November 17th, 2024, FinanceWire
Actelis Networks (NASDAQ: ASNS), known for its expertise in cyber-hardened, rapid-deployment networking solutions, has delivered impressive Q3 2024 results, showcasing financial growth and significant operational improvements. With strategic wins in critical infrastructure, IOT, and military markets, Actelis continues to build momentum. Furthermore, shifting global defense priorities, fueled by Donald Trump’s re-election and growing geo-political tensions, could potentially position Actelis to benefit from increased demand for its secure, cost-effective hybrid fiber-copper solutions.
Q3 2024 Results: Revenue Growth and Margin Expansion
Actelis reported $2.54 million in Q3 revenue, a 200% increase compared to $0.85 million in Q3 2023. Year-to-date revenue reached $6.7 million, a 46% increase from the prior year, surpassing the company’s total 2023 performance. Driving this growth was the execution of large contracts, including a $1.4 million software and services renewal with a major North American client, of which $1.1 million was recognized in Q3. This milestone highlights Actelis’ ability to generate recurring revenue while addressing the needs of critical infrastructure markets.
Gross margins for Q3 surged to 69%, up from 27% in the same quarter last year. This improvement reflects Actelis’ focus on high-margin software and hybrid fiber-copper solutions, which could offer customers cost-effective alternatives to full fiber deployments.
Actelis also demonstrated effective cost management, reducing Q3 operating expenses by 12% year-over-year and narrowing its net loss by 41% to $0.51 million. The company’s efforts to improve operational efficiency and profitability, and potentially yielding results.
During Q3, Actelis secured significant new orders across Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), military applications, and European infrastructure projects. Highlights include deployments for major U.S. cities, counties, and German municipalities, reinforcing Actelis’ role as a key provider of secure networking solutions for critical infrastructure.
Shifting Defense Priorities Could Boost Demand
Looking ahead, Actelis’ opportunities in defense markets could expand further, particularly as geopolitical shifts reshape global spending priorities. Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration in January 2025, along with Republican control of Congress, is expected by some to prompt a renewed focus on defense spending and NATO burden-sharing.
Actelis’ inclusion on the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN) Approved Products List (APL) and its NIST FIPS 140-2 certification have already proven instrumental in securing defense contracts. Earlier this year, these certifications facilitated Actelis’ deployment of cyber-hardened networking technology on three U.S. military bases, working to establish the company as a trusted partner for the Department of Defense.
These qualifications are particularly relevant as defense budgets rise to address emerging security challenges. Trump’s re-election has heightened expectations for European nations to increase defense spending, creating potential opportunities for Actelis’ secure and cost-efficient networking solutions in NATO member countries.
How Actelis Could Leverage These Shifts
Actelis’ hybrid fiber-copper solutions offer unique advantages for defense and critical infrastructure applications. The technology delivers fiber-grade performance without the time or expense of full fiber deployment, enabling rapid modernization of military bases and government facilities.
The company’s solutions are further enhanced by advanced encryption and data protection features, ensuring secure connectivity at the network edge—a critical requirement in military and government IoT environments. With its strong track record in U.S. defense markets and growing presence in Europe, Actelis is well-positioned to meet the potential rising demand for secure, scalable networking solutions as nations respond to evolving geopolitical pressures.
Actelis’ Q3 performance underscores its ability to deliver on its strategic goals while laying a foundation for future growth. CEO Tuvia Barlev commented: “Our third-quarter results underscore Actelis’ strong financial performance and continued growth trajectory. With robust revenue growth, a dramatic increase in gross margins, and disciplined cost management, we are achieving the financial resilience needed to support our expanding role in critical sectors.”
As defense spending trends shift and infrastructure modernization accelerate, Actelis’ innovative technology, proven certifications, and strategic deployments could potentially give Actelis a unique advantage in capitalizing on emerging opportunities.
