Odysight.ai Inc. (SCTC)·Q2 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 showed a sharp step-up in revenue and gross profit: revenue rose to $1.18M, up 75% YoY and up meaningfully QoQ from $0.19M; gross profit swung to +$0.51M from a loss last year, supported by higher unit pricing to a Fortune 500 healthcare customer and lower material costs .
- Management highlighted a cash balance of ~$13.5M at 6/30 and subsequently raised ~$10.3M via a July private placement to accelerate growth and pursue a Nasdaq uplisting, bolstering liquidity and execution runway .
- Strategic momentum continued in aerospace/defense with purchase orders tied to IAF Apache and Seahawk platforms, and an inaugural order from Safran Aircraft Engines, reinforcing the PdM/CBM thesis in aviation .
- No formal financial guidance or sell-side estimates were available; near-term catalysts include defense program conversions, industrial/I4.0 traction, and listing progress. S&P Global consensus estimates were unavailable for SCTC at this time.
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Gross profit inflected positive as cost reductions and improved pricing drove margin expansion; Q2 gross profit was $0.51M vs a loss in Q2’23, with management attributing drivers to unit price increases and lower material costs .
- Commercial traction in aerospace/defense: POs linked to IAF Apache prototype and Seahawk upgrades, plus the first order from Safran Aircraft Engines, broaden exposure and validation across platforms .
- Balance sheet reinforcement: ~$13.5M cash at Q2-end and ~$10.3M gross proceeds raised in July to accelerate growth and support uplisting efforts .
-
What Went Wrong
- Operating losses persist, albeit narrowing: Q2 operating loss was $(2.36)M vs $(3.12)M YoY; net loss remained $(2.18)M, reflecting continued R&D and G&A investments .
- Customer concentration remains a risk; management notes substantial reliance on a limited number of customers, including a Fortune 500 healthcare customer .
- No published numeric guidance and no earnings call transcript; limited external estimate coverage complicates near-term modeling and “beat/miss” framing .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Revenue inflection and margin proof point: Q2 revenue of $1.18M and gross profit of $0.51M demonstrate improved pricing and production cost discipline; monitor durability into H2 as aerospace revenues scale .
- Pipeline-to-revenue conversion: Multiple aerospace/defense POs (IAF Apache prototype, Seahawk upgrade, Safran) validate product-market fit in high-value PdM/CBM niches; watch for follow-on orders and program rollouts .
- Liquidity and runway: ~$13.5M cash at Q2-end plus ~$10.3M raised in July supports R&D, commercialization, and potential uplisting costs; reduces near-term financing risk .
- Risks: Continued operating losses and customer concentration warrant focus on diversification and operating leverage as volumes scale .
- Near-term catalysts: Additional defense awards, industrial I4.0 deployments, and progress toward a Nasdaq uplisting (which could broaden investor base and coverage) .
- What to monitor: QoQ revenue cadence, gross margin sustainability, backlog/RPO growth, and any formalization of guidance or sell-side coverage to frame expectations .
