Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2025
- Total revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $4.9 million, an increase of 158% compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. Revenues from development services and preproduction were $4.0 million, an increase of 167% compared to $1.5 million in the same period of 2024. Revenues from the sale of products were $0.9 million, an increase of 122% compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2024.
- Gross profit for the first quarter of 2025 was $2.9 million, an increase of 82% compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2024. Gross margin for the quarter was 59%, compared to 83% in the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter of 2024 margin was particularly high due to delivery of high margin non-recurring engineering work.
- Operating loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $6.1 million, an improvement of 20% compared to $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting increased revenue.

Expenses Breakdown:
- Research and development expenses, net (“R&D”) for the first quarter of 2025 were $6.4 million, compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2024. Gross R&D expenditure decreased by $0.9 million, mostly attributed to lower tape-out costs and post-silicon costs in the quarter compared with the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, net R&D expenses were impacted by a decrease in grants from the European Space Agency (“ESA”) and UK Research and Development Expenditure Credit tax credits, which were recorded as offsets to R&D expenses of $0.9 million.
- Selling and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $0.3 million, compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2024.
- General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $2.3 million, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2024.
- Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $10.3 million, an improvement of 9% compared to $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of increased revenue in the quarter.
- Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, amounted to $7.8 million, compared to $14.4 million as of December 31, 2024.
Nir Barkan, Chief Executive Officer of SatixFy, commented, “We are pleased with the strong momentum we have shown in the first quarter, with revenue growing 158% year over year.
