Business Highlights:

  • Continued strong growth in Europe driven by market share expansion in the region.
  • Introduced the Senstar MultiSensor™ intrusion detection system, a disruptive AI-powered sensor unit.
  • Cash balance of $12.6 million and zero debt as of September 30, 2023.

Mr. Fabien Haubert, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Senstar Technologies, stated, "Our third quarter revenue of $9.0 million underscores our sustained strength in Europe and Latam, both of which have been areas of investment. This growth was tempered by the absence of one-off projects in Canada and the U.S. completed in the third quarter of last year that did not repeat this year. Additionally, lower APAC revenue reflects the challenging economic conditions in China and a delayed large project. We are working to have our gross margin returning to more normalized levels in the coming quarters. Despite the dip in revenue and gross margin this quarter, we maintained positive operating income and EBITDA."

Mr. Haubert continued, "We are proud to introduce our latest breakthrough, the Senstar MultiSensor™ intrusion detection system, a disruptive AI-powered sensor unit that seamlessly integrates all intrusion detection capabilities into a single, powerful device. The MultiSensor offers unparalleled situational awareness, effectively eradicating false alarms and, as a versatile stand-alone solution, expands its potential applications beyond the conventional Perimeter Intrusion Detection use cases. The true gem of this innovation lies in its ability to consolidate multiple functionalities into one intelligent unit, reducing complexity and improving functionality. We are excited to announce that the MultiSensor is slated for release in 2024."
