Management highlights the AI evolution driving steep demand for reliable, scalable data services, positioning Alarm Technologies as a key enabler in the global AI boom.

I'll now turn the call over to Shachar Daniel, Alarum Technologies' Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Daniel, the floor is yours. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:03:08Thank you very much, Operator. Hi everyone, and welcome to Alarum Technologies' Q1 2025 Results Conference Call. I'm joined today by Shai Avnit, our Chief Financial Officer. I will kick off today's call by reviewing our recent achievements, the main market trends we see shaping the data collection space, and how our strategic vision and outlook are coming to life. Shai will then walk through the detailed financials and provide our Q2 2025 guidance. I will come back with a summary before we will open the call for the Q&A session. To highlight the top and bottom line results, first quarter 2025 revenue came in as guided at $7.1 million. Net profit was $0.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA exceeded the high end of guidance at $1.3 million. The beginning of 2025 marks a turning point, one that we anticipated and prepared for. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:04:12As the AI revolution is reshaping every industry at an unmatched rate, Alarum's data collection offering is increasingly becoming a key enabler, a backbone helping to power the global AI boom. The need for reliable, scalable, and the most accurate data is rising steeply. Models must be trained, retrained, and fine-tuned daily, and to do that, they need infrastructure like ours. We intend to grasp this momentum and opportunity. At the same time, it's important to acknowledge that the market we are operating in is still taking shape and at this point continues to be highly dynamic and unpredictable. Volatility may remain high, and we are planning accordingly. With focused execution, a forward-thinking innovative approach, and growing interest from AI-driven customers, our goal is not just to participate in their evolution, but to power, lead, and accelerate it. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:05:16I would like to share that both major tech giants and emerging startups are turning to us to help them overcome the growing barriers to data access, from compliance to geographical distribution and traffic unblocking. In fact, the momentum we have identified early on has carried into the beginning of 2025. Our offerings, from our flagship Data Collector and Website Unblocker to our robust proxy network, are quickly becoming foundational to how companies collect public web data. As AI use cases expand, so does the demand for fast, reliable, and high-quality data at scale. As we are seeing this shift starting to play out with more top-tier global companies, new logos are turning up to support our training and real-world data collection needs. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:06:13Considering the tremendous opportunity we see ahead of us, we made a strategic decision to increase our investment by leveraging our profitable operation and reinvesting earnings back into the company. We are building the operation foundation to meet this unique moment. While investing in scale, we stay focused on efficiency, profitability, and disciplined execution, being backed by a strong balance sheet for sustained growth. We are moving forward and expanding our network and establishing infrastructure to serve the growing demand stemming from AI-related projects. We are also growing our high-quality talent pool and developing a comprehensive suite of data collection products designed for the AI era. As we are seeing strong momentum, not just in volume, but in the depth and scale of customer engagements, we are accelerating the development of new products and capabilities for large-scale customer projects. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:07:16We believe that first-mover advantage in this space will create significant long-term value. That said, we remain sharply focused on operational excellence. While gross margins are currently lower due to our ongoing investments in scale and capability, we are actively optimizing our network infrastructure and product delivery with a clear roadmap to drive efficiency and maintain high margins and long-term profitability. One of the most important milestones we recently achieved is that several large-scale AI and e-commerce platforms, including one of the world's largest online marketplaces in Asia and a leading global consumer electronics brand, as well as a fast-growing European AI analytics company, have expanded their collaboration with us over the past quarter. These collaborations cover use cases such as large-scale data labeling and model fine-tuning with fresh public data. I would like to highlight that we will continue to expand our infrastructure to support these growing opportunities. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:08:24To sum up, before I turn the call over to Shai to review our financial performance and Q2 2025 guidance, Alarum is integrally building the backbone of modern data collection for AI applications. We see the demand, we feel the urgency, and we are executing on our long-term vision, one that just now is starting to bear real fruits. We kicked off 2025 with growing demand. We are very proud of the business we have built and even more excited about what's ahead. Now, I'm handing it over to you, to you, Shai. Please. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:09:07Thank you, Shachar. Hello, everyone. I will start by reviewing key financial results for the first quarter of 2025, comparing them to the same period last year, unless otherwise stated. Following that, I will provide you guidance for the second quarter of 2025. Detailed definitions and reconciliations of our non-IFRS key business metrics can be found in our Q1 2025 Financial Results press release. One final note before I begin, the figures I will be discussing are rounded for clarity and ease of reference. Turning now to our financial performance. In line with our guidance, revenues in the first quarter of 2025 reached $7.1 million, of which $7 million was attributed to data collection. This compared to $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, of which $8.1 million was from data collection. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:10:11We made the strategic decision to reinvest earnings into scaling operations, expanding infrastructure, and strengthening IP network to meet customers' stability, responsiveness, and speed expectations, thereby positioning Alarum to capture long-term value and meet the demand from AI-driven customers. During this phase of transition, we are dedicated to managing our operations efficiently while ensuring we progress toward our long-term goals. As a result of this move, our non-IFRS gross margin for the first quarter of 2025 reached 69.4% compared to 80.4% in the first quarter of 2024. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were $4.5 million compared to $4 million in the first quarter of 2024. The change was driven mainly by the increase in employee salary-related costs, primarily as we diligently grew the team to accelerate product development, laying the foundation toward the new AI era. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:11:26In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a financial income of $200,000 compared to an expense of $800,000 in the same period last year. The shift to financial income was mainly driven by the fair value decrease of warrants issued in 2019 and 2020. Most of those warrants will expire during 2025. Bottom line, non-IFRS net profit was $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to a net profit of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2025 topped out guidance, reaching $1.3 million compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. Our current share count is 70 million ordinary shares, or 7 million ADSs. On a fully diluted basis, the count is 79.3 million ordinary shares, or 7.9 million ADSs. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:12:37The first quarter of 2025 basic earnings per share were $0.16 per ADS on a non-IFRS basis compared to $0.45 in the first quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the company's shareholders' equity increased substantially to a record of $27.6 million, up from $17.1 million on March 31, 2024. The company's cash equivalents and long-term investments balance, including interest at the end of March 2025, were $24 million, up nearly 60% from $15.1 million on March 31, 2024. Alarum's solid cash balance ensures we can invest strategically while maintaining a focus on sustainable value creation. Let's move on to our outlook for the second quarter of 2025. Our guidance considers favorable market movements we have seen recently, along with our continued focus on execution. We anticipate that in the second quarter of 2025, revenue will range at $7.9 million, ±3%. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:14:03The second quarter of 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $0.5 million-$0.8 million. We started 2025 with strong momentum, a solid balance sheet, and growing market interest. In this unique period, with some uncertainty as the market continues to reshape, the early impact of our vision, investments, and pipeline visibility support the confident guidance we are providing today. We remain focused on our commitment to generating long-term sustainable value for our stakeholders. With that, I will hand the call back over to Shachar. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:14:49Thanks, Shai. To summarize, 2025 began with major shifts in the AI landscape. We are closely tracking these trends, which are driving increased demand for data and advanced solutions. Data is the engine behind it all, and this is precisely why we are fully committed to investing and pushing forward to capitalize on the momentum. We aim to create impact and long-term strategic advantages by strengthening and expanding our product portfolio, investing in innovation, growing our customer base, and deepening collaborations with some of the world's largest and most influential companies. 2025 has begun with growing demand and increasing recognition of Alarum's role in powering the AI data infrastructure. We are seeing strong momentum, deepening relationships with top-tier companies, and are expanding our operational capacity to meet this moment. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:15:50While we continue to invest in scale, we remain committed to efficiency, long-term profitability, and disciplined execution, all supported by a strong balance sheet that positions us well for sustained growth. We are proud of what we've built and even more excited about what lies ahead. With that, we'll now open the call for the Q&A session. Operator, please. Operator00:16:18Thank you. The floor is now open for questions. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad at this time. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up the handset before pressing the star keys. Our first question today is coming from Brian Kinstlinger of Alliance Global Partners. Please go ahead. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:16:45Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. I'm curious, the second quarter revenue guidance suggests a more meaningful sequential pickup from usage from your customer base after what we saw was about three-quarters of slower flatline demand trends. Is the stronger second quarter revenue guidance the result of one or two customers, or is it a more broad-based pickup in demand? Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:17:13Hi, Brian. Basically, more or less, same diversity, meaning it's not coming from one untypical customer or bigger than our current big customers. It's just growing, it's new customers. It's current customers that are upselling and usual business, not something unique. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:17:43Got it. I guess my follow-up is we've discussed and you've been clear about the challenges that are becoming more difficult to scrape data. Is the increased guidance scraping from data, or is it more the Website Unblocker product? I guess follow-up to that is, can you speak to the competitive landscape of website unblocking? Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:18:14Okay. So basically, first of all, let's start from this. The demand and the revenues that have been generated in the last period and looking ahead from the new products, which are the data collectors and the unblocker, are growing. Growing one second here. Okay. They are growing and even growing dramatically from two quarters ago. The increase in revenues is coming from both, although the ratio is still much stronger, much higher, sorry, for the proxy. According to this ratio, also the ratio of the growth is coming, most of it, from the data collection, meaning from the IP proxy network and this infrastructure. We see a demand that is growing for our data collectors and the unblocker. Now, for your second question, sorry, about the unblocker competitive landscape. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:19:28Yep. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:19:29I think more or less it's the same competitive landscape. As I said a few times in the past, this is, let's say, this is almost technology product, a lot of technology inside. We build it with a dedicated team that came from the special unit of the Israeli army. We see from one side, as the trend of the data is coming into our life, of course, it makes the life of those that want to collect data more challenging because websites, sorry, are trying to block more and more this traffic. The demand for unblocking, for a scraper that knows how to bypass this technology of the website, is growing. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:20:23From the other side, it's a product that needs to be maintained and revised on a permanent basis because it's like, at the end of the day, it's like a cat and mouse game that is playing on a daily side. It can be on a weekly, sometimes on a daily basis. We don't have the accurate data about feature versus feature with our competitors, but I can tell you that the feedback that we are getting from our customers, especially one of them that is the biggest customer at this point of time for this broker, which is Fortune 200, the company, is that we have, if not the best, but one of the best products in the market. That's why this customer is growing, upselling, and very satisfied for this point of time. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:21:19Sorry, let me just make sure I understand. Ask a follow-up on that piece. There are companies, several companies that are doing web scraping that also have unblocking products, or there's only a couple? I just didn't understand. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:21:34Yeah, of course, of course. Our competitors, some of them, as also the Unblocker product. Yes, absolutely. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:21:41Yep. Okay. Is there a clear leader in the market in terms of revenue? Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:21:47Might be. In the market of the unblocker or general unblocker? Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:21:53Unblocker. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:21:56I don't have formal and accurate data, so I don't want to mislead. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:22:01Okay. My last question is, you've got the second quarter that stronger revenue than the first quarter, but lower adjusted EBITDA. Does that reflect further investments compared to the first quarter that drive pressure on the gross margin? Maybe if not, you can speak to any more investments or incremental driving down EBITDA for 2Q compared to 1Q. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:22:27As I mentioned now in my part in the call, we took a strategic decision a few months ago as we started to see the boom, meaning the demand. By the way, it is unbelievable growing demand. The fact that it is maybe a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a company to be part of a revolution and to be maybe a major part because if you will now generate your leadership and become a significant player, it might stay for years as in other revolutions in the past. We are investing and growing our network, sometimes even not without proportion to the revenues, but much more than current revenues in order to be ready for each and every big or medium can be, but especially for these giants that they want to come in now and start to scale up with you. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:23:40We don't want to be in a point that we are losing one or two or maybe more customers because we saved some few dollars in the bank. We are profitable for many quarters. Our balance sheet is strong enough as we think that for the best of the company and for the best of our investors that are expected from us to invest our money in the company in order to build the future because there is a promising future for this industry. That is why you can see that the projection for the EBITDA for this quarter, meaning the second quarter, and maybe others in the future. From the other side, I can tell you that if we will take a decision or we took a decision that now profitability is the main thing for Alarum, this EBITDA can change even significantly with a decision. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:24:43It is not the place now that we want to be. It is not only the COGS. We hire talents. We invest in our employees in trainings, in AI trainings, in meeting our customers abroad, meaning we are growing and we take the company a few levels up. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:25:07Great. Thank you. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:25:10Thank you very much, Brian. Operator00:25:13Thank you. The next question is coming from Kingsley Crane of Canaccord Genuity. Please go ahead. Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:25:20Hi, thanks. Just a couple from my side. I believe last quarter you were talking about you were in active discussions with a handful of larger customers that were looking at some AI model training trial projects. Just curious how those conversations progressed in Q1, and maybe that's related to your plans to try to increase capacity for some of these larger customers. Thanks. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:25:48Hi. Thank you. Yes, I mentioned it, and I will say it now again. Yes, it's not just discussions. Some of them are current customers, but not just customers. There are customers that are growing and upselling over this quarter, last quarter. These discussions converted for customers and even for partnerships, which is more strategic than just being a customer, but a partner that together we will sell data maybe to other companies or we will embed ourselves in the infrastructure of these customers in order to be their only or major data enabler that allows them to collect data in scale and basically to provide insights and AI outcomes for their customers. For your second question, not just for this because we have many other customers, but the answer is absolutely yes. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:27:00We are investing in our infrastructure, in our network, and in bringing more and more employees and talents in order to support the requirements. These customers, they have their own requirements. They expect to get a level of service, a level of professionalism, and we want to fulfill all their requirements because we believe it's a major milestone for our future. Yes, this is one of the major reasons why we are investing more. Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:27:38No, it makes perfect sense. I mean, where do you think you are in terms of capacity today versus where do you want to go? I mean, is this it could be a quarter-by-quarter conversation, or is this something where you think you need to double, triple over a couple of years? Just kind of curious your thoughts on that part. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:28:02Sorry, the line was broken for one second. I will repeat to make sure I understand your question. You are asking from the aspect of our investment in the network. What was the question again? Can you repeat? Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:28:20Yes. So specifically on the network, just thinking about the pace and then the total scope of the investments that you're aiming to make, is this something where this is something like you'd like to double or triple in a couple of years, or you just know that you'd like to add capacity now and you were taking it on a quarter-by-quarter basis? Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:28:41Okay. We are investing in our network based on two main factors. One is the current demand, our current customer base, the amount of traffic, and the needs in order to meet these traffic requirements. The second is the projection, meaning how do we see the market in one or two quarters? It is a projection at the end of the day. Maybe it will not come to reality, but we have analysts that are trying to project all the time the trends and market. Based on these two factors, we take a decision quarter by quarter. It is not quarter. It is day by day. If we want, for example, to increase our investment in geographical, more geographical coverage, more servers, more endpoints, etc. We do not have a we cannot have this market now. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:29:46It's a market that in these days is defining itself, and we are together in this market. We don't have even, I think we don't have even the, or nobody has accurate data to project where it will be in one or two years from now. We are doing it day by day and an ongoing process. Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:30:11That makes sense. That's helpful. Just on the other side of it, in terms of investing in the people and the processes, just would be nice to hear a little bit more about what types of roles, what geographies you're hiring in, and then how you're thinking about the talent market. I mean, definitely with some of the AI capabilities, there are only a handful of people in the world that are able to, that are well-versed in it at this time. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:30:36Okay. For this point of time, most, I would say I would not say 100%, but more than 95% of our operation, basically our employees are in Israel, in our headquarter. Now, in these days, if you would ask me, let's say one quarter ago, I would say 98%. Why? Because now we are trying to scale and to spread the team to be in some different locations in the world. Today, we are still in a place that we can support our customers, our operation, and even the big customers. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:31:24We can support them in an online mode and to much more flights, yes, to visit them from time to time, to stay ahead, maybe in shifts because our professional services guys, the architect solutions, these guys that are basically supporting the customer in the proof of concept stage, and then after this, when he becomes a customer, support him on a daily basis, trying to meet his requirements, and of course, trying to offer him more solutions and to maintain his retention, and of course, try to increase his usage in our system and to upsell. Major part of the, let's say, the vertical of the employees that we are hiring now is these professional services, pre-sales, solution architects that know how to support. It's a combination between business and technical knowledge that support customers on-site. Of course, R&D. R&D is the bread and butter. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:32:39We have a very rich roadmap with so many features and capabilities and products that we know that there is a demand, that there are customers that are waiting for these items from our side. It is a combination between this vertical of professional services and architects to R&D to develop products and innovative products. Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:33:11Perfect. That's really helpful context. Exciting to hear about all the progress. That's it for me. Thanks. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:33:18Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Operator00:33:21Thank you. At this time, I would like to turn the floor back over to Mr. Daniel for closing comments. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:33:30Okay. Thank you very much, operator. Sorry. Thank you all for your time today. We look forward to hosting you on Alarum Technologies' Second Quarter of 2025 Results Call. Thanks.

I'll now turn the call over to Shachar Daniel, Alarum Technologies' Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Daniel, the floor is yours. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:03:08Thank you very much, Operator. Hi everyone, and welcome to Alarum Technologies' Q1 2025 Results Conference Call. I'm joined today by Shai Avnit, our Chief Financial Officer. I will kick off today's call by reviewing our recent achievements, the main market trends we see shaping the data collection space, and how our strategic vision and outlook are coming to life. Shai will then walk through the detailed financials and provide our Q2 2025 guidance. I will come back with a summary before we will open the call for the Q&A session. To highlight the top and bottom line results, first quarter 2025 revenue came in as guided at $7.1 million. Net profit was $0.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA exceeded the high end of guidance at $1.3 million. The beginning of 2025 marks a turning point, one that we anticipated and prepared for. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:04:12As the AI revolution is reshaping every industry at an unmatched rate, Alarum's data collection offering is increasingly becoming a key enabler, a backbone helping to power the global AI boom. The need for reliable, scalable, and the most accurate data is rising steeply. Models must be trained, retrained, and fine-tuned daily, and to do that, they need infrastructure like ours. We intend to grasp this momentum and opportunity. At the same time, it's important to acknowledge that the market we are operating in is still taking shape and at this point continues to be highly dynamic and unpredictable. Volatility may remain high, and we are planning accordingly. With focused execution, a forward-thinking innovative approach, and growing interest from AI-driven customers, our goal is not just to participate in their evolution, but to power, lead, and accelerate it. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:05:16I would like to share that both major tech giants and emerging startups are turning to us to help them overcome the growing barriers to data access, from compliance to geographical distribution and traffic unblocking. In fact, the momentum we have identified early on has carried into the beginning of 2025. Our offerings, from our flagship Data Collector and Website Unblocker to our robust proxy network, are quickly becoming foundational to how companies collect public web data. As AI use cases expand, so does the demand for fast, reliable, and high-quality data at scale. As we are seeing this shift starting to play out with more top-tier global companies, new logos are turning up to support our training and real-world data collection needs. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:06:13Considering the tremendous opportunity we see ahead of us, we made a strategic decision to increase our investment by leveraging our profitable operation and reinvesting earnings back into the company. We are building the operation foundation to meet this unique moment. While investing in scale, we stay focused on efficiency, profitability, and disciplined execution, being backed by a strong balance sheet for sustained growth. We are moving forward and expanding our network and establishing infrastructure to serve the growing demand stemming from AI-related projects. We are also growing our high-quality talent pool and developing a comprehensive suite of data collection products designed for the AI era. As we are seeing strong momentum, not just in volume, but in the depth and scale of customer engagements, we are accelerating the development of new products and capabilities for large-scale customer projects. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:07:16We believe that first-mover advantage in this space will create significant long-term value. That said, we remain sharply focused on operational excellence. While gross margins are currently lower due to our ongoing investments in scale and capability, we are actively optimizing our network infrastructure and product delivery with a clear roadmap to drive efficiency and maintain high margins and long-term profitability. One of the most important milestones we recently achieved is that several large-scale AI and e-commerce platforms, including one of the world's largest online marketplaces in Asia and a leading global consumer electronics brand, as well as a fast-growing European AI analytics company, have expanded their collaboration with us over the past quarter. These collaborations cover use cases such as large-scale data labeling and model fine-tuning with fresh public data. I would like to highlight that we will continue to expand our infrastructure to support these growing opportunities. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:08:24To sum up, before I turn the call over to Shai to review our financial performance and Q2 2025 guidance, Alarum is integrally building the backbone of modern data collection for AI applications. We see the demand, we feel the urgency, and we are executing on our long-term vision, one that just now is starting to bear real fruits. We kicked off 2025 with growing demand. We are very proud of the business we have built and even more excited about what's ahead. Now, I'm handing it over to you, to you, Shai. Please. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:09:07Thank you, Shachar. Hello, everyone. I will start by reviewing key financial results for the first quarter of 2025, comparing them to the same period last year, unless otherwise stated. Following that, I will provide you guidance for the second quarter of 2025. Detailed definitions and reconciliations of our non-IFRS key business metrics can be found in our Q1 2025 Financial Results press release. One final note before I begin, the figures I will be discussing are rounded for clarity and ease of reference. Turning now to our financial performance. In line with our guidance, revenues in the first quarter of 2025 reached $7.1 million, of which $7 million was attributed to data collection. This compared to $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, of which $8.1 million was from data collection. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:10:11We made the strategic decision to reinvest earnings into scaling operations, expanding infrastructure, and strengthening IP network to meet customers' stability, responsiveness, and speed expectations, thereby positioning Alarum to capture long-term value and meet the demand from AI-driven customers. During this phase of transition, we are dedicated to managing our operations efficiently while ensuring we progress toward our long-term goals. As a result of this move, our non-IFRS gross margin for the first quarter of 2025 reached 69.4% compared to 80.4% in the first quarter of 2024. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were $4.5 million compared to $4 million in the first quarter of 2024. The change was driven mainly by the increase in employee salary-related costs, primarily as we diligently grew the team to accelerate product development, laying the foundation toward the new AI era. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:11:26In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a financial income of $200,000 compared to an expense of $800,000 in the same period last year. The shift to financial income was mainly driven by the fair value decrease of warrants issued in 2019 and 2020. Most of those warrants will expire during 2025. Bottom line, non-IFRS net profit was $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to a net profit of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2025 topped out guidance, reaching $1.3 million compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. Our current share count is 70 million ordinary shares, or 7 million ADSs. On a fully diluted basis, the count is 79.3 million ordinary shares, or 7.9 million ADSs. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:12:37The first quarter of 2025 basic earnings per share were $0.16 per ADS on a non-IFRS basis compared to $0.45 in the first quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the company's shareholders' equity increased substantially to a record of $27.6 million, up from $17.1 million on March 31, 2024. The company's cash equivalents and long-term investments balance, including interest at the end of March 2025, were $24 million, up nearly 60% from $15.1 million on March 31, 2024. Alarum's solid cash balance ensures we can invest strategically while maintaining a focus on sustainable value creation. Let's move on to our outlook for the second quarter of 2025. Our guidance considers favorable market movements we have seen recently, along with our continued focus on execution. We anticipate that in the second quarter of 2025, revenue will range at $7.9 million, ±3%. Shai AvnitCFO at Alarum Technologies00:14:03The second quarter of 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $0.5 million-$0.8 million. We started 2025 with strong momentum, a solid balance sheet, and growing market interest. In this unique period, with some uncertainty as the market continues to reshape, the early impact of our vision, investments, and pipeline visibility support the confident guidance we are providing today. We remain focused on our commitment to generating long-term sustainable value for our stakeholders. With that, I will hand the call back over to Shachar. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:14:49Thanks, Shai. To summarize, 2025 began with major shifts in the AI landscape. We are closely tracking these trends, which are driving increased demand for data and advanced solutions. Data is the engine behind it all, and this is precisely why we are fully committed to investing and pushing forward to capitalize on the momentum. We aim to create impact and long-term strategic advantages by strengthening and expanding our product portfolio, investing in innovation, growing our customer base, and deepening collaborations with some of the world's largest and most influential companies. 2025 has begun with growing demand and increasing recognition of Alarum's role in powering the AI data infrastructure. We are seeing strong momentum, deepening relationships with top-tier companies, and are expanding our operational capacity to meet this moment. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:15:50While we continue to invest in scale, we remain committed to efficiency, long-term profitability, and disciplined execution, all supported by a strong balance sheet that positions us well for sustained growth. We are proud of what we've built and even more excited about what lies ahead. With that, we'll now open the call for the Q&A session. Operator, please. Operator00:16:18Thank you. The floor is now open for questions. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad at this time. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up the handset before pressing the star keys. Our first question today is coming from Brian Kinstlinger of Alliance Global Partners. Please go ahead. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:16:45Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. I'm curious, the second quarter revenue guidance suggests a more meaningful sequential pickup from usage from your customer base after what we saw was about three-quarters of slower flatline demand trends. Is the stronger second quarter revenue guidance the result of one or two customers, or is it a more broad-based pickup in demand? Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:17:13Hi, Brian. Basically, more or less, same diversity, meaning it's not coming from one untypical customer or bigger than our current big customers. It's just growing, it's new customers. It's current customers that are upselling and usual business, not something unique. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:17:43Got it. I guess my follow-up is we've discussed and you've been clear about the challenges that are becoming more difficult to scrape data. Is the increased guidance scraping from data, or is it more the Website Unblocker product? I guess follow-up to that is, can you speak to the competitive landscape of website unblocking? Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:18:14Okay. So basically, first of all, let's start from this. The demand and the revenues that have been generated in the last period and looking ahead from the new products, which are the data collectors and the unblocker, are growing. Growing one second here. Okay. They are growing and even growing dramatically from two quarters ago. The increase in revenues is coming from both, although the ratio is still much stronger, much higher, sorry, for the proxy. According to this ratio, also the ratio of the growth is coming, most of it, from the data collection, meaning from the IP proxy network and this infrastructure. We see a demand that is growing for our data collectors and the unblocker. Now, for your second question, sorry, about the unblocker competitive landscape. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:19:28Yep. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:19:29I think more or less it's the same competitive landscape. As I said a few times in the past, this is, let's say, this is almost technology product, a lot of technology inside. We build it with a dedicated team that came from the special unit of the Israeli army. We see from one side, as the trend of the data is coming into our life, of course, it makes the life of those that want to collect data more challenging because websites, sorry, are trying to block more and more this traffic. The demand for unblocking, for a scraper that knows how to bypass this technology of the website, is growing. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:20:23From the other side, it's a product that needs to be maintained and revised on a permanent basis because it's like, at the end of the day, it's like a cat and mouse game that is playing on a daily side. It can be on a weekly, sometimes on a daily basis. We don't have the accurate data about feature versus feature with our competitors, but I can tell you that the feedback that we are getting from our customers, especially one of them that is the biggest customer at this point of time for this broker, which is Fortune 200, the company, is that we have, if not the best, but one of the best products in the market. That's why this customer is growing, upselling, and very satisfied for this point of time. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:21:19Sorry, let me just make sure I understand. Ask a follow-up on that piece. There are companies, several companies that are doing web scraping that also have unblocking products, or there's only a couple? I just didn't understand. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:21:34Yeah, of course, of course. Our competitors, some of them, as also the Unblocker product. Yes, absolutely. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:21:41Yep. Okay. Is there a clear leader in the market in terms of revenue? Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:21:47Might be. In the market of the unblocker or general unblocker? Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:21:53Unblocker. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:21:56I don't have formal and accurate data, so I don't want to mislead. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:22:01Okay. My last question is, you've got the second quarter that stronger revenue than the first quarter, but lower adjusted EBITDA. Does that reflect further investments compared to the first quarter that drive pressure on the gross margin? Maybe if not, you can speak to any more investments or incremental driving down EBITDA for 2Q compared to 1Q. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:22:27As I mentioned now in my part in the call, we took a strategic decision a few months ago as we started to see the boom, meaning the demand. By the way, it is unbelievable growing demand. The fact that it is maybe a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a company to be part of a revolution and to be maybe a major part because if you will now generate your leadership and become a significant player, it might stay for years as in other revolutions in the past. We are investing and growing our network, sometimes even not without proportion to the revenues, but much more than current revenues in order to be ready for each and every big or medium can be, but especially for these giants that they want to come in now and start to scale up with you. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:23:40We don't want to be in a point that we are losing one or two or maybe more customers because we saved some few dollars in the bank. We are profitable for many quarters. Our balance sheet is strong enough as we think that for the best of the company and for the best of our investors that are expected from us to invest our money in the company in order to build the future because there is a promising future for this industry. That is why you can see that the projection for the EBITDA for this quarter, meaning the second quarter, and maybe others in the future. From the other side, I can tell you that if we will take a decision or we took a decision that now profitability is the main thing for Alarum, this EBITDA can change even significantly with a decision. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:24:43It is not the place now that we want to be. It is not only the COGS. We hire talents. We invest in our employees in trainings, in AI trainings, in meeting our customers abroad, meaning we are growing and we take the company a few levels up. Brian KinstlingerDirector of Research, Managing Director, and Senior Technology Analyst at Alliance Global Partners00:25:07Great. Thank you. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:25:10Thank you very much, Brian. Operator00:25:13Thank you. The next question is coming from Kingsley Crane of Canaccord Genuity. Please go ahead. Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:25:20Hi, thanks. Just a couple from my side. I believe last quarter you were talking about you were in active discussions with a handful of larger customers that were looking at some AI model training trial projects. Just curious how those conversations progressed in Q1, and maybe that's related to your plans to try to increase capacity for some of these larger customers. Thanks. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:25:48Hi. Thank you. Yes, I mentioned it, and I will say it now again. Yes, it's not just discussions. Some of them are current customers, but not just customers. There are customers that are growing and upselling over this quarter, last quarter. These discussions converted for customers and even for partnerships, which is more strategic than just being a customer, but a partner that together we will sell data maybe to other companies or we will embed ourselves in the infrastructure of these customers in order to be their only or major data enabler that allows them to collect data in scale and basically to provide insights and AI outcomes for their customers. For your second question, not just for this because we have many other customers, but the answer is absolutely yes. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:27:00We are investing in our infrastructure, in our network, and in bringing more and more employees and talents in order to support the requirements. These customers, they have their own requirements. They expect to get a level of service, a level of professionalism, and we want to fulfill all their requirements because we believe it's a major milestone for our future. Yes, this is one of the major reasons why we are investing more. Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:27:38No, it makes perfect sense. I mean, where do you think you are in terms of capacity today versus where do you want to go? I mean, is this it could be a quarter-by-quarter conversation, or is this something where you think you need to double, triple over a couple of years? Just kind of curious your thoughts on that part. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:28:02Sorry, the line was broken for one second. I will repeat to make sure I understand your question. You are asking from the aspect of our investment in the network. What was the question again? Can you repeat? Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:28:20Yes. So specifically on the network, just thinking about the pace and then the total scope of the investments that you're aiming to make, is this something where this is something like you'd like to double or triple in a couple of years, or you just know that you'd like to add capacity now and you were taking it on a quarter-by-quarter basis? Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:28:41Okay. We are investing in our network based on two main factors. One is the current demand, our current customer base, the amount of traffic, and the needs in order to meet these traffic requirements. The second is the projection, meaning how do we see the market in one or two quarters? It is a projection at the end of the day. Maybe it will not come to reality, but we have analysts that are trying to project all the time the trends and market. Based on these two factors, we take a decision quarter by quarter. It is not quarter. It is day by day. If we want, for example, to increase our investment in geographical, more geographical coverage, more servers, more endpoints, etc. We do not have a we cannot have this market now. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:29:46It's a market that in these days is defining itself, and we are together in this market. We don't have even, I think we don't have even the, or nobody has accurate data to project where it will be in one or two years from now. We are doing it day by day and an ongoing process. Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:30:11That makes sense. That's helpful. Just on the other side of it, in terms of investing in the people and the processes, just would be nice to hear a little bit more about what types of roles, what geographies you're hiring in, and then how you're thinking about the talent market. I mean, definitely with some of the AI capabilities, there are only a handful of people in the world that are able to, that are well-versed in it at this time. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:30:36Okay. For this point of time, most, I would say I would not say 100%, but more than 95% of our operation, basically our employees are in Israel, in our headquarter. Now, in these days, if you would ask me, let's say one quarter ago, I would say 98%. Why? Because now we are trying to scale and to spread the team to be in some different locations in the world. Today, we are still in a place that we can support our customers, our operation, and even the big customers. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:31:24We can support them in an online mode and to much more flights, yes, to visit them from time to time, to stay ahead, maybe in shifts because our professional services guys, the architect solutions, these guys that are basically supporting the customer in the proof of concept stage, and then after this, when he becomes a customer, support him on a daily basis, trying to meet his requirements, and of course, trying to offer him more solutions and to maintain his retention, and of course, try to increase his usage in our system and to upsell. Major part of the, let's say, the vertical of the employees that we are hiring now is these professional services, pre-sales, solution architects that know how to support. It's a combination between business and technical knowledge that support customers on-site. Of course, R&D. R&D is the bread and butter. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:32:39We have a very rich roadmap with so many features and capabilities and products that we know that there is a demand, that there are customers that are waiting for these items from our side. It is a combination between this vertical of professional services and architects to R&D to develop products and innovative products. Kingsley CraneEquity Research Senior Analyst at Canaccord Genuity00:33:11Perfect. That's really helpful context. Exciting to hear about all the progress. That's it for me. Thanks. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:33:18Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Operator00:33:21Thank you. At this time, I would like to turn the floor back over to Mr. Daniel for closing comments. Shachar DanielCEO at Alarum Technologies00:33:30Okay. Thank you very much, operator. Sorry. Thank you all for your time today. We look forward to hosting you on Alarum Technologies' Second Quarter of 2025 Results Call. Thanks. Operator00:33:47Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your participation. This concludes today's event.
