[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to BOS first quarter twenty twenty five earning call. I am joined today by our CFO, mister Moshe Zeltzer. We delivered exceptional results this quarter with record revenues and record net income that underscore the strength of our defense focused strategy. The results reflect years of deliberate investment in product diversification and operational excellence positioning us to capitalize on the defense sector robust growth trajectory. With our strong q one performance and a healthy 22,000,000 backlog, we are raising our confidence in exceeding our full year 2025 targets of $44,000,000 in revenues and $2,500,000 in net income.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

Our outlook remains grounded in the organic opportunities we see today and maintaining our conservative approach. Our growth strategy rests on two foundational pillars. First, deep in client relationships. We are expanding our value proposition to our defense customer through complementary offering, exemplified by our successful launch of a new cabling line that leverages existing client relationships. Second, international expansion.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

We are strategically expanding overseas by partnering with our Israeli defense global subcontractors. This approach generated $4,000,000 in overseas sales in year twenty twenty four to our supply chain division. Our robotic division will install its first European production line this year, marking a significant milestone in our international growth. Both present a compelling investment opportunity built on four key strengths. We hold a strong and expanding position in the global defense industry during the period of accelerating market growth.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

The defense sector fundamentals continue to strengthen globally. Israel defense budget increased 73% year over year while Europe's rose 16%. This creates a sustained demand environment that directly benefits on our business. Second, we have demonstrated consistent profitability with steady net income growth year after year with a compounded annual growth of 49% through the years between the years '21 and '25. Third, our balance sheet provides flexibility for strategic growth with 23,000,000 in equity, zero bank debt, and $4,000,000 in cash.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

We have the financial foundation to execute our expansion plans while maintaining operational stability. Fourth, Bosses traded just at ten ten time on the on the net income and price to book value ratio of one. Our valuation offer attractive upside compared to broader market multiples. Thank you for your time and attention and attention. Moshe and I are now happy to take your question.

Hey, guys. Congratulations on a great quarter. It was nice to see the margin improvement. Can you talk about margins moving forward as the company continues to grow and expand?

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

Yeah. First, the gross margin represent the average margin that we that that we have and we had. We don't see any we don't see any change in the future. This is a market that we are in, but we expanding our offering to our client. And as our offering is wider, the the prices that we can take are higher and the margin as well.

[Todd Felte, SVP - Branch Manager at StoneX Group]

Thank you. And do you see the continued growth coming from the defense sector? I know you brought on the former procurement officer from the IDF, the Ivy Dudon? Do you think you'll see some larger contracts come from defense? And do you see your future growth as being a mix of organic and inorganic as in m and a activity, or do you just see organic growth?

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

I think in the current market, in the defense market especially, our hands are full of work with organic growth. There are opportunities in the Israeli market and overseas as well, especially in India. And we have to, to put all our focus and effort to to capitalize those opportunities. In parallel, we are checking opportunities for acquisition of companies that of company that have a synergy to our business, whether it's for the civil market with our f a d division, whether it's for the defense market with the supply chain division.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

Yes. Shuki, how are you?

[Analyst]

I'm fine. How are you? I'm just asking about the backlog. The backlog is for nine months, six months, twelve months. So how how long is the backlog?

[Analyst]

And beside that, how do you see the second quarter, what you can say, which we are two third of it finished, so you have kind of visibility to conflate some words about it? Because it seems like your prospects prospect for the year is a bit conservative, and I want to add some comments about that if you can. But first about the backlog.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

Yeah. The backlog is is the backlog is for it will be spread along year '25. And $22,000,000 covers, like, 50% of our annual revenues, so it's relatively high. And I remember our call last last year when when some of the deals moved to year twenty five, if you remember. Yeah.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

And so you see the effect in this quarter. So it's a supply chain business, and the the timing of the purchase of the of the order effect on the time of the delivery and the billing and the revenue recognition. But we feel confidence with this level of backlog that we will exceed our our outlook for year twenty five of $44,000,000 revenues and $2,500,000 net income that already reflects a 10% growth.

[Analyst]

Okay. But you said that it's too early to predict now, so you would prefer to wait maybe one or two more quarters.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

Yeah. Yeah. I think that in the second quarter that will be released on on August, we will have much more information to give more accurate in outlook.

[Analyst]

Okay. And you can say any comment about the second quarter, or you prefer just to talk after the results?

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

Yeah. Usually usually, we give an outlook for a year, not four quarters. So Okay. Yeah. But you can try.

[Eyal Cohen, CEO at B.O.S. Better Online Solutions]

You try it every quarter. So try again next quarter to ask.
