Alarum Technologies Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

Concludes strong first half of 2024 with record revenues of $17.3 million, progressing profitability metrics,
solid cash generation and $21.6 million in cash and equivalents

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alarum Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq, TASE: ALAR) (“Alarum” or the “Company”), a global provider of internet access and web data collection solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. 

“Today we announced the results of yet another strong record-breaking quarter, marking the first year since we announced our shift to focusing on Enterprise Internet Access through our NetNut data collection product line,” said Mr. Shachar Daniel, Chief Executive Officer of Alarum. “As we intend to establish the broadest data collection and insights offering in the market, we continued to increase our market share in the IP Proxy Network (IPPN) segment, won initial sales in the data collection and labelling market with our new Web-Unblocker and continued to make progress towards providing our customers with artificial intelligence (AI) and analysis capabilities. Our cash balance positions us well to invest in prospects that will provide the foundation for sustained growth.”

Mr. Daniel concluded: “Looking into the third quarter of 2024, I am extremely proud that NetNut revenues are expected to surpass the full year 2023 revenue-bar within the first three quarters of 2024. The market we operate in is an ever evolving and nascent market and as we continue to expand our customer base, enhance our offerings and grow the business we may experience some short-term variances. In the third quarter of 2024, we estimate continued year-over-year growth. While third quarter revenues are assumed to be impacted by market dynamics that some of our customers have been experiencing since June, our main growth KPIs are positive: consistent growth in the monthly revenue rates from June to July and into August. We evaluate the value created by new customers over their lifecycle. Our new customer-indicator shows enhanced growth in the second quarter compared to the first quarter, and to the last four quarters’ average. Furthermore, we will maintain strong net customer retention rates in the third quarter, in line with our growth strategy and strong balance sheet. These are all clear indicators of the strength and resilience of our business, as Alarum is in it for the long run.”

Second Quarter and First Half 2024 Financial Analysis

● Revenues grew 27% year-over-year to a Company record $8.9 million in Q2 2024 (Q2 2023: $7.0 million). The increase is attributed to the growth of the enterprise internet access business, NetNut, which increased to $8.7 million in Q2 2024, up from $5.0 million in Q2 2023. H1 2024 revenues increased to a record $17.3 million (H1 2023: $12.7 million). NetNut’s revenues reached a record $16.7 million in H1 2024, achieving 99% year-over-year growth (H1 2023: $8.4 million).

● Operating expenses totaled $4.2 million (Q2 2023: $12.8 million), and H1 2024 operating expenses totaled $8.1 million (H1 2023: $17.0 million). The quarterly and six-month year-over-year decrease resulted mainly from impairment of goodwill and intangible assets following the Company’s shift to enterprise internet access (NetNut) from consumer internet access (CyberKick). In addition, CyberKick’s operation expenses were reduced, while NetNut’s operation expenses increased in line with its growth.

● Finance expenses in Q2 2024 were $2.5 million (Q2 2023: finance income of $0.3 million), and approximately $3.4 million in H1 2024 (H1 2023: financial income of $0.1 million). The year-over-year differences were mainly from expenses resulting from the fair value increase of derivative financial instruments (warrants issued in 2019 to 2020) due to the increase in the Company’s share price. The increase was partially offset by interest income on short-term bank deposits.

● Income tax expenses totaled $0.8 million in H1 2024 (H1 2023: tax benefit of $0.2 million), following the first-time NetNut was profitable for tax purposes.

● H1 2024 cash flow from operating activities reached $6.3 million (H1 2023: $(0.1) million)

● As of June 30, 2024, shareholders’ equity totaled $20.4 million, compared to $6.1 million as of June 30, 2023, and $13.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by the H1 2024 net profit as well as warrants and options exercises.

● Outstanding ordinary share count as of June 30, 2024, was approximately 68.4 million, or 6.8 million in ADSs.

Financial Outlook

“Alarum ended Q2 2024 with growing revenues, enhanced profitability, strong cash generation and a solid balance sheet, which provides the flexibility and resources to invest in the areas that will drive future growth,” said Mr. Shai Avnit, Chief Financial Officer of Alarum. “Today, for the first time, we are providing quarterly guidance, as we aim to enhance transparency. We anticipate Q3 2024 revenue to demonstrate year-over-year growth, and in fact, NetNut revenues are expected to cross the full-year 2023 revenue-bar of $21.2 million within the first nine months of 2024. Q3 2024 revenues are estimated at $7 million ±3% and Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2024 is expected to range from $0.8 to $1.0 million.”

Use of non-IFRS Financial Results

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, this press release contains non-IFRS financial measures of EBITDA (EBITDA loss), Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA loss), non-IFRS net profit (loss), non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS gross margin and non-IFRS basic earnings (loss) per share or ADS for the periods presented. The Company defines EBITDA (EBITDA loss) as net profit (loss) from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, finance income (expense) and income tax; defines Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA loss) as EBITDA (EBITDA loss) as further adjusted to remove the impact of (i) impairment of goodwill (if any); and (ii) share-based compensation; defines non-IFRS net profit (loss) as net profit (loss) from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, finance income (expense) effects primarily related to derivative financial instruments as well as long-term loan, deferred tax effects and share-based compensation; defines non-IFRS gross profit as gross profit from continuing operations adjusted to remove the impact of depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and share-based compensation recorded under cost of revenues; defines non-IFRS gross margin as the percentage of the non-IFRS gross profit out of revenues; and defines non-IFRS basic earnings (loss) per share or ADS as non-IFRS net profit (loss) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares or ADSs. The Company’s management believes the non-IFRS financial information provided in this press release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company’s ongoing operations. Management also uses both IFRS and non-IFRS information in evaluating and operating its business internally, and as such deemed it important to provide this information to investors. The non-IFRS financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, and the financial results calculated in accordance with IFRS and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures provided in the financial statement tables herein.

Other Metrics

Net retention rate (NRR) represents the average growth rates for the preceding four quarters compared to the equivalent period a year earlier, of current customers only, without the revenues generated from new customers, but including up-sales and cross-sales on one hand and churn on the other hand. NRR greater than 1.00 indicates that the Company experiences revenue growth from its existing customer base in the specific period even after accounting for lost revenue due to customers’ churn. Conversely, an NRR lower than 1.00 suggests that the Company loses revenue from existing customers in the specific period due to churn which is higher than revenue gain through up-sells or cross-sells.
