Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We expect a strong finish for the year Q4 we continue to focus on driving order, customer adoption and revenue growth in addition to maintaining cost discipline as we work to drive down cash burn and move towards profitability
We are seeing growth, and I am optimistic when I look at our customer pipeline in both business units that we will finish 2023 strongly
Before we turn the call over to Q&A, I want to reiterate that we remain bullish on the outlook for Ondas and believe our business is strengthening considerably
We expect a strong end to 2023 for Ondas Autonomous Systems
With the improving regulatory backdrop and continued advancement of our autonomous driving platform, I could have a more positive outlook on the ability of OAS and American Robotics ability to continue to drive market share by gaining and scaling with our clients to ensure our strategy meet expectations
I am proud of our team in Israel and how they are bravely rising to the challenges in how our team in the United States supporting our collective efforts
We also see the new regulations advancing, including depending Part 108 rule, which will among other things should improve the scaling of drove field operations by allowing a single pilot to operate multiple autonomous drones simultaneously, while regulations grow increasingly supportive
We also believe drove regulatory environment is rapidly improve moving, which will support accelerating growth within the drone sector
Our partners in our ecosystems are supportive of Ondas long-term success
With the support of a strong global tailwinds, we are seeing growing opportunities for Ondas full max wireless connectivity platform in our optimism, iron drone, autonomous growth systems, which I will emphasize are now commercially ready and being adopted and deployed at an increasing rate
American Robotic is a strong and trusted provider of drones, services and data solutions, and we are committed to scaling it into a successful industry leader, uniquely capable of providing turnkey solutions for our customers
I'm confident we will continue our positive success, continue to scale and expand our operations and services to exceed the demands of our clients due to having the specific expertise in a very complex and highly regulated market, developing world-class programs and offering the right mix of capabilities and solutions
We look to demonstrate that to you on this call and more importantly, during the months and quarters ahead, I believe we are on the cost of great success
I believe we are going to be very successful in driving adoption in garnering support and partnerships throughout the industry
We had a strong quarter operationally in advance with customers across the board, Ondas Networks and Ondas Autonomous Systems
Given our advantage of being only the second company in the world and achieving the gold standard FAA type certification
We believe the substantial growth year-over-year put us on track for the $50 million revenue target we provided last quarter and demonstrates that we are driving adoption across our technology platforms
I'm very familiar with Ondas Networks , American Robotics and Airobotics and for a long time, have been extremely impressed with the world-class technology platforms we bring to global markets, the automated data and information services provided by the drug in a box solutions defines what are the most important segment and the commercial drone industry
Ondas Networks field activity progress, we're getting closer and closer to the breakout volume orders driven by success in the 900 megahertz network with the Class I Rails, we see deeper more intentional engagement with the railroad customers around the technical implementation of roll off strategies as FAA deadly lines near
We're not forecasting it heavily at, but we do think it's showing additional confidence in our capabilities
As I said, restore the amplified we're seeing a lot, very intentional work with the railroads, we're very optimistic that we're getting to that point where we're going to see material orders and the deployments begin to scale across the industry
The validates a unique quality and reliability of our system and has been well received by customers as we expected will undoubtedly help shorten sales cycles for new customers, as we look ahead All, we continue to make progress with customers with the Optima system
We believe that this will support the ongoing business development activities of American Robotics in US commercial and governmental markets and reserve to accelerate demand and shorten sales cycles
Before providing the Q3 update before we as I would like to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of our team in Israel, some of whom have been core to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces doing because the conflict, our team has worked tremendously on as they always do, and I'm very grateful for their efforts and commitment, to our success through this commitment and regrets imports of our US based team Ondas Autonomous Systems, we are maintaining operations in Israel
We believe this sport and the areas of focus reflect positively on how the rails have come to value the 900 megahertz network opportunity simultaneous to this field work, Siemens is actively negotiating purchase orders with select rails
The continued growth demonstrates that we are growing our production capacity
We delivered approximately $2.4 million in product and development revenue in the third quarter with a new record delivery in product shipments to Siemens, business coming off a strong second quarter of approximately $1.5 million in revenue, which was the prior record quarter for shipments
In terms of margins, we're still look at our business for these technology platforms is providing a very attractive margins at these low volume levels
As discussed, the recent financings fortified our balance sheet help grow our cash balance and positions us to continue to execute our growth plans
We are now beginning to scale it both on Ondas Networks and yes, I am happy with how we are positioned to grow our business in the coming quarters, supported by our recently fortified balance sheet
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Gross margins were 20.8% in the third quarter of 2023, a decline from 63.2% in the third quarter of 2022
The company narratives EBITDA loss to $6.9 million, which was sharply lower than the EBITDA loss of $11 million in the third quarter of 2022
Our margins were down this quarter and to give you a sense
I am happy to say today that our team in Israel is entirely accounted for as the guys like accomplish continues to present challenges
Cash operating expenses in the third quarter of 2023 or equal to approximately $7.5 million, which was lower than expectations
The margins decline is primarily due to costs, including labor for optimist, customer service operations related to units in service during a quarter when we recognized a comparatively low level of optimism related product and service revenues
And this is really, really difficult
Those sorts of technologies have pluses and minuses one of the complications with deploying a jamming system is when you're jamming radio frequencies, interfere with other, wireless communications and public safety implications
We are seeing first hand through our Airobotics team in Israel, highly volatile and rapidly evolving geopolitical environment is impacting industry globally
And these are places where jamming is not acceptable because when you jam radios frequencies, you have the risk of things falling from the sky in addition to the other drawbacks around public safety, wireless communications
As I mentioned, the evolving geopolitical and volatile global economic situation is impacting industry, including demand for the industrial wireless technology in aerial security and data platforms on us provides
OAS revenue was modest in Q3, after we had recognized a large unit sale, the UAE and the second quarter of this year
And that was relative as compared to a very low revenue quarter for the drone business
The decline in operating losses was primarily due to sharply lower operating expenses
The Gaza conflict in Israel is likely impacted our inventory delivery schedule
On the production side, we've now solved most of supply chain challenges and no longer view parts components as a constraint
As I do that, I wanted to highlight that the value of our company in our world-class technology platforms has never been higher
And you know, to the extent we have to add more in terms of field service, as we were just discussing, that's likely to be actually a creative to profitability because we're going to be able to charge for those services
And this is a system where they have just going through that whole process for the train operators has some complexity
