Ramat Gan, Israel, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Odysight.ai Inc. (NASDAQ/TASE: ODYS), a leader in AI-powered visual sensing and predictive maintenance (PdM) solutions for the aerospace, defense, and industrial markets, today announces its financial results for the first half of 2026, and provides a business update.

Key Highlights

●	Following the recently announced agreements, Backlog¹ of $16.45 million as of the date of this release, up from $14.1 million as of June 30, 2026.

●	Cash balance² of approximately $17.6 million as of June 30, 2026, no debt.

●	Received first purchase order from Boeing to showcase its AI-powered PdM solution at two Boeing sites (August 2026). The purchase order marks the start of a direct OEM relationship, creating a potential pathway to a broader integration across Boeing’s rotorcraft and its defense portfolio at large. Revenue under the Boeing purchase order is expected to be recognized as program milestones are delivered, with the majority anticipated within the next twelve months.

●	Received purchase order from Elbit Systems on behalf of the Israeli Ministry of Defense for deployment of our solution. The purchase order expands Odysight.ai’s operational portfolio and may lead to wide deployment across the Israeli Defense Forces upon successful completion.

●	Received purchase order from Honeywell Aerospace APU Division for a proof-of-concept (PoC) collaboration to evaluate Odysight.ai’s solution across its Auxiliary Power Units (APU) portfolio. Initial work will focus on the APU air intake, a high-exposure area, with a potential path, subject to successful results, to expand across the broader APU assembly.

●	Announced successful first U.S. test flights on a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter in partnership with XP Services, advancing domestic certification and commercialization pathways within the U.S. defense industry.

●	Signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst (NAWCAD), part of the U.S. Navy. Focusing initially on carrier arresting cables, the project is set to be delivered in the coming months. Once completed, it has the potential for expansion into global land-based arresting cables, fixed and rotary wing aircraft, ground vehicles, and additional platforms.

Yehu Ofer, Chief Executive Officer of Odysight.ai commented:

“The first half of 2026 was defined by the high caliber of the customers choosing to work with us. Receiving our first direct purchase order from Boeing is a significant commercial milestone in the Company’s history. It moves us from supplying national air forces to working directly with the OEM that builds and supports the platforms themselves, at Boeing’s own sites and on Boeing’s own equipment. We believe this order could serve as the foundation for a broader relationship across Boeing’s rotorcraft, commercial, and defense portfolios, with potential pathways into U.S. Department of War programs and manufacturing applications. Together with the proof-of-concept order from Honeywell Aerospace for its APU portfolio, we are now engaged with two of the largest names in aerospace.

Alongside these OEM relationships, we continued to build our position with end users. We completed the first U.S. test flights of our system on a UH-60 Black Hawk with XP Services, signed a CRADA with the U.S. Navy’s NAWCAD covering carrier arresting cables, and received a further purchase order from Elbit Systems on behalf of the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Each of these programs is structured to lead to potentially wider deployment on successful completion, and together they give us multiple routes into the U.S. and Israeli defense markets.”

Einav Brenner, Chief Financial Officer of Odysight.ai added:

“Revenues for the first half of 2026 were $0.5 million. Backlog increased from $14.1 million as of June 30, 2026 to $16.45 million. Our first half revenues reflected the timing of order execution rather than the level of demand and, as stated in our earnings release for the first quarter of 2026, we expect revenues to be weighted towards the second half of the year as existing orders convert into deliveries based on current delivery schedules and customer timelines.

We ended the first half of 2026 with approximately $17.6 million in cash and no debt. Operating expenses during this period were broadly flat against last year and net loss for the period was $9.5 million. We began implementing efficiency steps during the first quarter of 2026 and these measures helped mitigate the negative effect of changes in the USD/NIS exchange rate.

We continue to invest in our U.S. and European commercial activities and deliveries, and remain focused on managing our cost base with discipline while funding the programs that we believe will drive the business over the medium term.”

¹ Backlog is measured and defined differently by companies within our industry. We refer to “backlog” as our booked orders based on purchase orders or hard commitments but not yet recognized as revenue. Backlog is not a comprehensive indicator of future revenue and is not a measure of profitability. Orders included in backlog may be cancelled or rescheduled by customers. A variety of conditions, both specific to the individual customer and generally affecting the customer’s industry, may cause customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders that were previously made or anticipated. Projects may remain in backlog for extended periods of time.
² Including cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposit and restricted cash.

Financial highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Revenues were $0.5 million, compared to approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to $1.86 million first quarter 2025 revenues from a Fortune 500 medical company customer. This decrease included the full derecognition of a $1.690 million contract liability that had been recognized during the first quarter of 2025.

Backlog¹was $14.1 million as of June 30, 2026, and approximately $16.45 million as of the date of this release.

Cost of Revenues was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cost of revenues is consistent with the decrease in revenues and primarily attributable to the same factors.

Gross Profit was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to gross profit of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Operating expenses were approximately $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by the expansion of the Company’s operations, enhanced global selling and marketing activities, including efforts to penetrate new markets and verticals and increase product visibility, and the effect of changes in the USD/NIS exchange rate, partially offset by expenses related to our fundraising and uplisting to Nasdaq, which occurred during the first quarter of 2025, and a decrease in stock-based compensation.

Net loss was approximately $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Cash Balance² as of June 30, 2026 was approximately $17.6 million.

Backlog

We present our results of operations in a way that we believe will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance. Backlog is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and is not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measures, including revenue or net income (loss), and, as calculated, may not be comparable to companies in other industries or within the same industry with similarly titled measures of performance. In addition, backlog should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Therefore, backlog should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
