ParaZero Announces 2024 Financial Results

 

Tel Aviv, Israel, March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRZO) (the “company” or “ParaZero”), an aerospace company focused on safety systems for commercial unmanned aircrafts and defense Counter UAS systems, reported today its financial results for year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Key Highlights of ParaZero’s Achievements in 2024 & Recent Highlights:

 

Sales increased by 50.2% to $932,154 for the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly thanks to shifting towards sales to OEM integrations, which couples with recuring revenues in addition to the traditional aftermarket segment.

 

Since the beginning of 2025, the Company has significantly strengthened its cash position by completing a registered direct offering of aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.1 million, in addition to receiving $1.3 million in proceeds from warrant exercises.

 

Expanded operations in the defense sector & Recent Highlights:

 

During 2024, the company enhanced its penetration to the defense market with new developments and collaborations. The company launched its DropAir - Precision Airdrop System for rapid delivery of blood transfusions in high-risk operational zones. ParaZero successfully tested the system in collaboration with a leading drone company and moved forward to phase II of the project with Israeli Ministry of Defense.

 

The company continued to advance its Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) solution, securing new orders, including from a Tier-1 defense customer.

 

Both systems gained approvals from the Israeli Defense Export Controls Agency (DECA), under the Israel Ministry of Defense (MOD).

 

Commercial developments:

 

ParaZero continued to establish its position as a leader in safety systems for urban mobility and aerial vehicles.

 

The company launched number of new collaborations that led to new orders, including a $187,000 purchase order from a U.S.-based Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) company.

 

In addition, it successfully delivered a special drone safety system project for a leading Fortune 500 automotive manufacturer as part of the customer’s proprietary drone program.

 

ParaZero received a significant order from a leading Australian distributor, strengthening its presence in Australia.

 

ParaZero announced its expansion in the U.S. through collaboration with one of North America’s largest drone distributors, Drone Nerds, to promote and sell ParaZero’s products.

 

 

 

 

Regulatory approval:

 

The Company continues to facilitate its customers in achieving regulatory approvals for their operations as well as securing new approvals for its solutions.

 

ParaZero received the prestigious Design Verification Report (DVR) approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for its SafeAir M-300 Pro and SafeAir M-350 Pro parachute safety kits. Its SafeAir systems, integrated with the DJI Matrice 350, DJI Mavic 3T and DJI Mavic 3E, have successfully achieved CE Class C5 compliance.

 

The company also announced that a leading drone solutions provider, utilizing ParaZero’s advanced safety technology, secured a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) waiver to conduct Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations.

 

“2024 was a year of advancements for ParaZero, as recent geopolitical events have demonstrated the growing reliance on drones in modern warfare, both as offensive tools and as critical assets for delivering essential supplies in high-risk operational zones. At ParaZero, we have spent over a decade developing and refining our innovative, patent-protected technologies to address these evolving threats,” stated Boaz Shetzer, CEO of ParaZero. “I am proud of the company’s ability to successfully translate our innovation to meet the new needs of our customers and the market.”

 

Shetzer added, “Our commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and safety is evident in our recent accomplishments, including strategic collaborations in the defense, urban mobility and aerial vehicle sectors, the successful advancement of our new DropAir Precision Airdrop System, the late-stage development of our C-UAS solution and our leadership in regulatory achievements.”

 

Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights: 

 

Sales increased by $311,646, or 50.2%, to $932,154 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $620,508 for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was mainly attributed to that fact, that the company shifted towards sales to OEMs integrations that contributed to a higher volume of sales rather than to the aftermarket segment. This shift is accompanied with recuring revenues.

 

Cost of sales increased by $397,251, or 83.3%, to $873,861 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $476,610 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the volume of sales during the year ended December 31, 2024 and an inventory write off of approximately $114,680

 

Research and development expenses increased by $1,506,552, or 237%, to $2,143,353 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $636,801 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase resulted mainly from labor costs of $843,881 accompanied an increase in by materials and experiments costs of $386,839.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $593,099, or 121.6%, to $1,081,003 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $487,904 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase resulted mainly from labor, professional services and more subcontractors’ costs of $449,788 accompanied an increase in by travel and conferences participation costs of $122,288.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $927,128, or 62.9%, to $2,400,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1,472,872 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase resulted mainly from professional services rendered after the IPO and costs associated with becoming a public company.

 

Other finance income, net was $200,724 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to finance income, net of $210,675 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Other finance income, net, primarily includes income from interest on deposits and exchange rate differences.

 

Net loss and comprehensive loss increased by $7,282,851, or 193%, to $11,054,230 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $3,771,379 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was the result of an increase of mainly a non-cash item, changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, along with an increase in operating expenses, as described above.

 

The loss per share in 2024, was $0.99 compared to net loss per share of $0.77 in 2023.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the company’s cash and cash equivalents was approximately $4.2 million and the company’s total shareholders’ deficit was approximately $0.3 million.

 

As a result of the warrant exercise and registered direct offering in January 2025 and February 2025, and as of the date of this current report, the Company believes it has stockholders’ equity of $3.6 million.

 

A copy of ParaZero’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at https://www.sec.gov/ and posted on ParaZero’s investor relations website at https://parazero.com/investor-relations/.
