TEL-AVIV, Israel and NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 — Gauzy Ltd. (NASDAQ:GAUZ) (“Gauzy” or the “Company”), a global leader of vision and light control technologies, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights (Compared to First Quarter 2024)

Revenues of $22.4 million, compared to $24.7 million
Gross margin of 25.6%, compared to 25.1%
Net loss of $10.8 million compared to a net loss of $13.2 million
Non-GAAP Adjusted net loss of $9.1 million compared to an adjusted net loss of $10.0 million
Adjusted EBITDA of ($5.5) million compared to ($4.8) million
Purchase order backlog of $35.7 million at quarter end
Total available liquidity of $36.2 million, including cash of $1.2 million and $35.0 million undrawn credit facility at quarter end

Eyal Peso, Gauzy Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Demand for our products remains strong with our multi-year contracted backlog continuing to build and quarter end backlog purchase orders up $5 million since the start of the year. We’re particularly encouraged by new commitments and collaborations with industry leading customers and partners such as Air France and Daimler. Our solid start to 2025 revenues was temporarily upended by brief disruptions from tariff and operational uncertainty many of our customers encountered towards the end of the quarter. We have worked diligently with customers since that time to align on production timetables and firm up our delivery schedule for the coming quarters. Several existing customers have recently surpassed their minimum commitments and there have been no material order changes or cancellations.”

Peso continued, “We remain committed to driving profitable growth as demonstrated by a modest improvement in gross margin during a dynamic period. First quarter Adjusted EBITDA largely reflects our decision to preserve operational overhead to support a swift resurgence with our customers. We are encouraged by the strong start to the second quarter. We look forward to that momentum accelerating into the second half of the year.”

Peso concluded, “We are pleased to move forward with a strengthened financial position bolstered by a new debt facility under more favorable terms. To date, tariffs have had a minimal impact on our input costs owing to the Free Trade Agreement between Israel and the US and our strategically located global operations, including a state-of-the-art production facility in Florida already serving all of our divisions. We are reaffirming our 2025 guidance for both revenues and profitability. The resilience of our business and our team’s ability to execute in any market condition makes us excited for what the rest of the year has in store for Gauzy.”

These highly favorable terms highlight Gauzy’s strengthened financial position and enhanced market standing as a public company.”

First Quarter 2025 Results

Revenues for the first quarter of $22.4 million compared to $24.7 million in the prior year quarter. The modest decline was primarily driven by Aeronautics and Architecture, which more than offset improvements in Safety Tech and Automotive.

Gross profit for the first quarter of $5.7 million compared to $6.2 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin for the first quarter was 25.6% compared to 25.1% in the prior year quarter, as lower cost of revenue more than offset the decline in revenues.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter were $14.4 million, compared to $15.8 million in the prior year quarter, as lower research and development, general and administrative, and sales & marketing costs more than offset higher depreciation and amortization.

Net loss for the first quarter of $10.8 million compared to $13.2 million in the prior year quarter, mainly due to a decrease in total operating expenses and interest expense.

Non-GAAP Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of $9.1 million compared to $10.0 million in the prior year quarter, with the improvement primarily attributable to the improvement in GAAP net loss.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was ($5.5) million compared to ($4.8) million in the prior year quarter, mainly due to the same factors outlined above for gross profit and operating expenses.

First Quarter 2025 Segment Performance

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to Gauzy’s financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), this press release and the accompanying tables and related presentation materials may contain one or more of the following Non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted Net Loss, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Loss Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Gauzy believes that these measures provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to companies in other industries or within the same industry with similarly titled measures of performance. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted Net Loss. The Company defines Adjusted Net Loss as Net Loss, adjusting for certain financial expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition and debt raising related costs, non-cash fair value adjustments and expenses related to equity-based compensation and doubtful debts.

EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as Net Loss, excluding net financial expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding acquisition-related costs, one-time expenses, equity-based compensation expenses and doubtful debts.

Net Loss Margin. The Company defines Net Loss Margin as Net Loss for the period divided by revenue for the same period.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the period divided by revenue for the same period.

For more information on the Non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided in this press release. The accompanying reconciliation tables have more details on the U.S. GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to Non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

The Company has provided forward-looking expectations regarding Adjusted EBITDA. The Company cannot reconcile its projection of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts because of the unpredictable or unknown nature of certain significant items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and the resulting difficulty in quantifying the amounts thereof that are necessary to estimate net income (loss).
