Odysight.ai Inc. (SCTC)·Q4 2023 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q4 2023 was an inflection quarter: revenue stepped up to ~$1.95M (derived as FY 2023 $3.033M less 9M 2023 $1.087M), driving FY revenue to $3.033M (+356% YoY) and the company’s first positive gross profit ($0.509M); the Q4 gross margin was ~55% on our filing-derived calculation .
  • Management highlighted commercialization momentum: formalized unit price increases with the Fortune 500 healthcare customer, first aerospace PdM purchase orders, and FY 2024 PO commitments of $3.3M with the healthcare partner, which should anchor near-term revenue visibility .
  • OpEx intensity persisted amid R&D scaling (FY R&D $5.602M) and rebranding/marketing (FY S&M $1.109M), resulting in an FY operating loss of $10.633M and net loss of $9.445M despite Q4’s margin improvement .
  • Year-end liquidity was strong: cash and short-term deposits totaled ~$17.0M, funding continued productization and aerospace/industrial expansion .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • First-ever annual gross profit and a sharp Q4 margin step-up driven by formalized higher unit pricing and increased product volumes to the Fortune 500 customer: “the unit price experienced a substantial increase… [and] an increase in the number of products sold” .
  • Commercial traction beyond medical: recent aerospace PdM orders and Israel Air Force prototype integrations, plus partnership initiatives (e.g., SIPAL S.P.A.) “poised to deliver a transformative solution” for PHM in aerospace/industrial markets .
  • Healthcare demand consolidation: FY 2024 PO commitments of $3.3M with the Fortune 500 customer signal sustained uptake following FDA-cleared device launch; CEO: “tremendous endorsement of Odysight.ai’s capabilities” .

What Went Wrong

  • Losses remain significant despite gross profit improvement: FY operating loss ($10.633M) and net loss ($9.445M) driven by R&D ramp ($5.602M), G&A ($4.431M) and S&M ($1.109M) .
  • Customer concentration risk increased: one major customer accounted for ~98% of FY 2023 revenue; losing this customer would materially harm the business .
  • Limited near-term disclosure: no formal quantitative revenue/OpEx/margin guidance and no Q4 earnings call transcript available; reliance on press releases and filings for narrative/updates (no call transcript found).

Management Commentary

  • “The unit price experienced a substantial increase compared to its previous rate… [and] an increase in the number of products sold and supplied to the customer during 2023” (10-K MD&A on FY mix/price dynamics) .
  • “Our collaboration with SIPAL S.P.A. marks a significant milestone… poised to deliver a transformative solution that seeks to redefine PHM” (SIPAL partnership) .
  • “This is a tremendous endorsement… to be trusted by a Fortune 500 company… sets the stage for promising developments in the future” (FY 2024 PO commitments) .
  • “Positive trajectory to commercializing its products” (Q4 results press release) .

Q&A Highlights

  • No Q4 2023 earnings call transcript was published or found; therefore, no Q&A is available for analysis (search returned none) [earnings-call-transcript: none].

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global/Capital IQ consensus estimates were unavailable due to missing CIQ mapping for SCTC/ODYS; therefore, estimate comparisons (EPS/revenue/EBIT vs consensus) are not provided [SpgiEstimatesError].
  • Values presented are sourced exclusively from SEC filings and company press releases.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Q4 2023 materially de-risked the revenue trajectory: a ~$1.95M quarter (derived from filings) and ~55% gross margin underscore the impact of formalized pricing and volume ramp—an important setup for FY 2024 .
  • Near-term visibility is enhanced by $3.3M of FY 2024 PO commitments with the healthcare customer; watch shipment cadence and additional aerospace orders as potential incremental catalysts .
  • Profitability timeline still depends on OpEx discipline: R&D and G&A will need leverage against revenue scale; monitor quarterly operating loss progression and gross margin sustainability .
  • Customer concentration remains the key risk—diversification of revenue via aerospace/industrial PdM deployments is strategic and should be tracked across announced prototypes and purchase orders .
  • Liquidity (~$17.0M cash/short-term deposits) supports execution through commercialization phases; capital raises appear unnecessary near term if PO conversion remains on track .
  • With no formal guidance or consensus benchmarks, rely on filed shipment/revenue mix and order updates; additional press releases or SEC filings on aerospace programs could shift the narrative and the stock.
