Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Revenues decreased by 39.6% (NIS 667k) compared to 2024, primarily due to longer decision-making processes by customers in Israel.
- Improved Net Loss: Net loss decreased by 15.7% (NIS 5.5M) to NIS 29.4M, driven by reduced operating expenses (Selling & Marketing down 30%; G&A down 13%) and a shift from net financing expenses in 2024 to net financing income in 2025.
- Inventory Impairment: The company recognized an inventory write-down of NIS 377k in 2025, reflecting adjustments for slow-moving items and technological obsolescence.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Going Concern Uncertainty
Independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes existing cash resources (NIS 14.1M) are insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months. The company requires additional financing through equity or debt to meet obligations.
Strategic Transactions
- VisionWave Exchange Agreement: In March 2026, SaverOne completed the first stage of an agreement with VisionWave Holdings, Inc. VisionWave acquired 19.99% of SaverOne in exchange for $2.74M in VisionWave stock. The deal aims to integrate SaverOne's RF technology into defense and security applications.
- SEPA III: In October 2025, the company entered a new Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with Yorkville, committing up to $50M in potential funding.
Key Risks
- Regional Conflict: Ongoing armed conflict in Israel and the Middle East (including recent escalations in early 2026) poses risks to operations, supply chains, and employee availability due to military reserve call-ups.
- Nasdaq Listing: The company has faced repeated challenges meeting the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, relying on reverse stock splits to maintain compliance. Future delisting is a risk if the bid price falls again.
- Internal Controls: The company identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to segregation of duties and lack of sufficient accounting personnel.
- Patent Opposition: Three Israeli patent applications are currently opposed by a third party, with proceedings ongoing.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Liquidity Runway: Verify the timeline and certainty of the next capital raise given the "substantial doubt" going concern opinion.
- VisionWave Deal Terms: Review the full terms of the VisionWave Exchange Agreement, specifically the milestones required for the remaining 31% equity transfer and the valuation of the RF Platform.
- Nasdaq Compliance: Monitor the ADS bid price closely to assess the risk of immediate delisting under current Nasdaq rules regarding reverse stock splits.
- Revenue Recognition: Scrutinize the commercial orders (approx. 1,200 systems) versus installed base (approx. 4,250 systems) to understand the timing of future revenue recognition.
- Internal Control Remediation: Assess the progress of hiring and implementing controls to address the identified material weakness.
