Speaker 1

Thank you very much, and welcome, everyone, to Alarm Technologies 2023 4th quarter earnings results conference call. As discussed in my previous comments is Shay Avnade, our Chief Financial Officer. In this call, I would like to provide a brief review of our business operations, summarize our accomplishments, and then I will turn the call over to Shay, who will briefly discuss the financial results of the Q4 full year of 2023 before we will open the call to questions. We are extremely with our Q4 results showing growth and successful execution in every aspect of our business. Before going into more detail about the Q4 of 2023, I would like to look back at how we started this year.

Speaker 1

In the Q1 of 2023, we had 2 business lines, NetNut, our Internet access for enterprises and CyberKick, our Internet access solution for consumers. We finished the 1st quarters with revenues of $5,700,000 from both business segments, net loss of $700,000 and positive adjusted EBITDA of $60,000 The first quarter was also the first time we announced positive cash flow for operating activities. When we started 2023, we began our path to profitability strategy. By the end of the second quarter, following consideration of the current market environment, we made a decision to downside our investment in the consumer business, a measure that we believed to bear a positive impact to the company. During the Q3, we focused all our efforts in supporting NetNut and our data collection solution business.

Speaker 1

We passed all investments in customer acquisition in the consumer business and sold our cybersecurity business. As a result, the Q3 marked an historic moment in the company's journey as we become profitable with $1,100,000 in net profit. From being on the path to profitability, we became profitable and proven our strategy to be the right one for the company. We announced today that we have finished 4th quarter with revenues of $7,100,000 and a record net profit that continued to grow, reaching to a record of $1,700,000 The revenues for the 4th quarter represent not only a record quarter, but a quarter that surfaced the revenues generated from both business lines at the beginning of 2023 and demonstrated the strength of NetNat and our business. In the last 2 years, NetNat has experienced considerable expansion, concluding 2021 with revenues of 6 $300,000 and soaring all the way to $21,300,000 by 2023.

Speaker 1

We are delighted with these outcomes, which reflect our intense effort and commitment to the prosperity of our business. Moreover, we began the year 2024 witnessing high growth and setting new monthly revenue records in January February. We are proud of our current strong financial stability. The fact that we are profitable and we don't have to rely on raising funds to support and sustain our operations going forward. 2023 was a turning point for Alarm that now focused only NetNat and the expansion of our product offerings.

Speaker 1

Today, NetNut is one of the strongest brands in the world of the IPPM, known for its fast, advanced and secured network. NetMack platform is based on our proprietary reflection technology. Our hybrid network infrastructure comprises of more than 1,000 servers and over 700 proxy servers deployed around the globe connected to 52,000,000 IPs of various types, including ISP, ISPs and data center IPs in leading data centers, altogether providing full global coverage. During 2023, we entered new market segments, including AI powered sales intelligence, FinTech and AI recruiting markets in winning new leading customers across the board. Building on our network success, we began to expand our product offering in 2020 sales, hiring new talents for our research and development with the goal of delivering innovative and disruptive products to the data collection market.

Speaker 1

The first product we introduced during 20 23rd is the Google SERP scraper API, our first data collector providing enterprises innovative suite analysis tools on demand data access. The SERP scraper API delivers real time structured data from global search engines tailored to enterprise needs. Our second product release is the innovative website unblocker. It's designed to allow automated data collection tools access to public phasing web data without being tagged by anti bot and bot management solutions. Our latest announcement was the revolutionary AI data collector product line.

Speaker 1

This product line will be one of our growth engines for the upcoming years. It's an important milestone in NetNat's roadmap towards securing its share of the data collection market and will disrupt current web data collection methods and allow users to scrape the Internet data tailored to their specific requirements. With an intuitive no code interface, the new AI data collector will enable users to effortlessly generate data collection within minutes. The product's advanced AI will automatically adapt to website changes, ensuring continuous data collection without any downtime. Furthermore, Net Net for priority unblocking technology will provide seamless access to web data, which allow uninterrupted data exception at any scale.

Speaker 1

Users will simply be required to input the target URL, select desired data subjects, set the range of timing and choose their preferred download format. We are excited about our new data collection product offering and have started to market the 2 First products to our existing and new customers while beginning great positive feedbacks. Starting today, we plan to update on a quarterly basis our customer retention rate, NRR. Net NRR were 153% as of December 21 31, 2023, and 144% as of September 30, 2023. We sum up the recurring revenues from existing customers for a period of 4 consecutive quarters and add any expansion revenue, up sales, gross sales from those same customers during the period.

Speaker 1

Then we subtract any contraction revenue, downgrade, churn from those same customers during the same period. We then calculate the revenue from these customers during the preceding 4 quarters and divide this total by the recurring revenues for the 1st period. A positive NRR indicates that existing customers are spending more over time through either expansion or add ons, offsetting any losses due to churn or time rates. Conversely, a negative NRR suggests that the company is losing more revenues for existing customers than it is gaining through upselling or gross selling. Before going further, I would like to turn the call over to Shar to discuss the financials for the quarter in more detail.

Speaker 1

Shar, the stage is yours.

Speaker 2

Thank you, Shahar. I will begin with a summary of our Q4 year end 2023 financial results, which are compared to our Q4 year end 2022 results unless otherwise stated. Revenue for the full year of 2023 totaled $26,500,000 of which $7,100,000 were earned in the 4th quarter. This represents a 39% increase compared to the revenues from continuing operations of $18,500,000 for the full year of 2022, of which $5,100,000 were earned in the 4th quarter. This sharp growth in revenues is attributed to the increase in NetNat's business.

Speaker 2

Gross profit for the full year of 2023 increased to $18,800,000 of which the 4th quarter contributed $5,300,000 This compared to gross profit for the full year of 2022 of $10,100,000 of which the 4th quarter contributed $2,800,000 representing increases of 85% 89%, respectively. These significant increases in the gross profit were primarily driven by the increase in revenues, while increasing the gross margin to more than 75%. Operating expenses totaled $24,300,000 for the full year 2023. Excluding goodwill and intangible assets impairments related to the consumer Internet excess activity scale down announced by the company on July 6, 2023, operating expenses amounted to $15,800,000 only. This compared to operating expenses of 20 $2,900,000 in 2022.

Speaker 2

IFRS net loss from continuing operations for the full year of 2023 totaled $5,600,000 or $0.14 basic loss per ordinary share. The loss is attributed to the consumer Internet access goodwill and intangible assets impairment. This compared to IFRS networks from continuing operations of $12,500,000 or $0.39 basic loss per ordinary share in 2022. IFRS net profit from continuing operations in the Q4 of 2023 reached $1,700,000 or $0.03 basic profit per ordinary share compared to a net loss of $3,000,000 or 0.09 basic loss per ordinary share in the Q4 of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2023 was $5,200,000 compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $8,500,000 in 2022.

Speaker 2

Adjusted EBITDA for the Q4 of 2023 was $2,200,000 compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $2,000,000 in the Q4 of 2022. As of December 31, 2023, shareholders' equity totaled $13,200,000 or approximately $2.20 per outstanding American depository share, compared to shareholders' equity of $13,300,000 as of December 31, 2022. The minor change is due mainly to the goodwill and intangible assets impairment recorded in the Q2 of 2023 on one hand, offset by the September 2023 private placement and the non IFRS earnings on the other hand. As of December 31, 2023, the company's cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $10,900,000 compared to $3,300,000 only as of December 31, 2022. And lastly, I wanted to touch base on our share count as it stands today.

Speaker 2

On an outstanding basis, we have around 62,800,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 6,300,000 ADSs. On a fully diluted basis, we currently have around 78,000,000 shares or 7,800,000 ADSs outstanding. With that, I'll turn the call back over to Shahar.

Speaker 1

Thank you, Shahri. Our accomplishments in 2023 have positioned us to utilize our extensive, fast and dependable network to meet the evolving demands of the AI market. The cornerstone of all current AI solutions lies in their ability to access and extract data. AI technologies require vast amount of real time data in order to deliver good outcomes. Data collection, especially as skills we developed through years of experience in the industry is something we excel at.

Speaker 1

Furthermore, we can identify future challenges for AI solutions as they become increasingly integrated into our daily lives and equipped with the necessary tools to address and provide the right solutions. With that, I would like to open the call for any questions.

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we will be conducting our question and answer session. Our first question is coming from the line of Brian Kinstlinger with Alliance Global Partners. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 3

Great. Thanks for taking my questions. My first is a financial one. Your operating margin over the last two quarters has been an impressive 22% 24%, and your revenue continues to grow. Sales and marketing expenses have been declining.

Speaker 3

My question is on the operating expenses. At what point do you expect the company will need to make meaningful investments to sustain these growth rates? Is that anytime soon?

Speaker 1

Hi, Brian. So first of all, if you measure our operating expenses as a percentage of the revenues, so basically our plan is to stay in the same rate. As I can tell you now in the Q1, as we see the growth and basically we stabilize our team and our operating expenses. So I don't think that there is a time in the near future that you will see a that I may identify as a point that we need to increase shapely or to invest significant investment in our operation in order to support the revenues.

Speaker 3

So to be clear, you think the 25 24% to 25% operating margin is sustainable and you probably won't grow it that much, you'll reinvest the rest into growth. Is that accurate?

Speaker 1

Yes.

Speaker 3

Great. And then the net retention rate that you provided 144% or 153%, you provided 2 different wins. Revenue growth is 150%. Can you share with us the customer counts, what they are for NetNut and how that compares to a year ago? It sounds like much of the revenue growth is coming from the existing customer base by looking at those 2 metrics.

Speaker 3

And so I'm trying to understand new customer counts and maybe help us understand the evolution of a new customer. Is the 1st year a very small contribution then expands in the 2nd year? Maybe go over why?

Speaker 1

Okay. So let's start from the net then our method. So basically, the method that we choose, by the way, it's a method that a lot of SaaS companies are choosing that we make an average of 4 measurements, meaning we are measuring 4 quarters versus 4 quarters, and then we are going back 1 quarter and measuring again 4 quarters versus 4 quarters and additional two times and then this is the measurement. When we come to the next 3rd quarter, we will do the same. We will measure we will have one more measurement for this quarter and going back for 4 measurements and then it's called NR point in time, meaning it's an average of 4 measurements.

Speaker 1

So basically, you cannot take in direct connection the growth of the revenues of 2022 versus 2023 with this measurement because it's an average of 4 measurements, okay? And so for your question, so I don't have the accurate numbers in front of me, but our I can tell you in high level that our the number of customers growth in around 20% quarter over quarter, year over year. It depends because we have if you remember, we have a huge variety of customers. We have customers that are paying us $5,000 a year and we have customers that are paying us $100,000 a year or more. And but if you will hit our new deck that we just uploaded to the website, we have a special slide that describe the we divide the revenues according to the number of customers, and you can see the split between the size of the customers and the number of the customers.

Speaker 1

If you want, we can go over it now or you can take a look later and if you have questions, so we'll be happy to answer.

Speaker 2

Shahar, can I add something just to make things clear, Brian, the 144% is not 144% raise compared to the previous period? It's a 44%, okay. Right. It is that in the East Bay. So if you compare it to 150 percent rise in the revenues during 2033, you can see here quite clearly that a large bunch of it came from new customers.

Speaker 2

Okay. It's not that it is only. Okay.

Speaker 1

Yes, for sure. Thank you, Sean. Good comments.

Speaker 3

Yes. And then, you've got 2 new products that I think you're excited about, namely the SERP scraper and the WebSette unblocker. I know it's early, but can you talk about how you expect these to drive growth? Is this 2024 event or is this more of a 2025 catalyst as they become a little bit more mature?

Speaker 1

Okay. So you said it's too early. So you are right. Basically, it's too early for me to project because we are just starting now our AB testing with our current customers, as I mentioned. First of all, we went out with this product because we identified the demand and the need in the market.

Speaker 1

We know that the market needs it, and we know we think that we know exactly what it needs and why our product is innovative and basically disrupt other products in this market. We think that besides of the fact that customers will directly acquire this will purchase this product and we will have direct revenues from these products. We think that these products will strengthen our product portfolio and there are some customers, maybe a lot of customers that are looking for 1 vendor and they skipped us till today because we couldn't offer them the next in the data channel, the data stack, we couldn't offer the next product, so they prefer to choose another vendor that we can offer them 2 products from 1 vendor. So now, besides of the direct value that we will see from these two products, we might see and we hope we expect to see more customers that will buy our IPPN products because we have this add on of this data collection products. I think that we will start to see significant revenues, but the AI scraper, which is our main product line, is that we launched the product line, but we didn't launch the product yet.

Speaker 1

We are about to release this product around the Q3. I hope we will start to see revenues in the Q4 and hopefully significant revenues in 2025. The Weband Blocker, we are about we released the beta version. It's going very well. And I hope we will start to see traction in the end of this quarter, meaning Q2, going to the Q3 and then to see more significant revenues in the last quarter of this year.

Speaker 1

So basically, this is the data that I have now. I don't want to check more than this because I might mislead you.

Speaker 3

Great. And then the last question, just so I understand the website unblocker, that's where you're trying to help customers scrape data from a website, but it's blocked. So this product will help unblock it, so you can get from certain sites. Is that right?

Speaker 1

Exactly, exactly. Thank you, Eric.

Speaker 3

Just wanted to make sure I understood. Okay. Thank you so much.

Speaker 1

Thank you, Brian.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question is coming from Chris Tuttle with Blue Capital Capital. One moment please while I connect you through. Thank you, sir. Your line is now live.

Speaker 4

Hi, thanks for taking my questions. I just had a couple. One of them is, obviously, you're busy, net net is working very well for you. What do you look at as your governors for growth for the rest of 2024? What are the limiting factors that you're working on addressing?

Speaker 1

The limiting factors?

Speaker 4

Yes. What is the what governs your overall revenue growth this year?

Speaker 1

So I think that it's something that is basically by nature, we have a team, we have an infrastructure. If you heard my pitch, I talk about the size of our network. By the way, it's one of our major intellectual properties. The fact that we have thousands of servers all over the world that might serve a huge amount of data and customers. Growth that we see this year.

Speaker 1

Of course, if something will happen and we'll see, I don't know, something a demand that we didn't imagine, So it might be that our network or the team starting from support going to R and D and others might not be able to support this amount of traffic. But I think that I hope that after years of experience of the team here in NetNat, we know how to plan and how to project the expected growth and amount of traffic and customers. So I don't think it might be a bottleneck, but this is something that might be in general.

Speaker 4

Okay. One housekeeping question. Can you just remind us what's the difference between number of shares in the current share count and the fully diluted number?

Speaker 1

Yes, of course. I want to take it.

Speaker 2

Yes. Basically, it includes 2 kinds of securities that are not outstanding. 1 of them is the stock option plan for employees and consultants. We have allocated options and RSUs to our employees. And this amount to, I believe, around 700,000 or 800,000 shares It's more than 800,000 I believe shares.

Speaker 1

It's 700,013 for the employees.

Speaker 2

And the other part are series of warrants to investors that came from previous rounds back in 2020 until 2023. Most of them, by the way, are far out of the money. Then Shaha can elaborate.

Speaker 1

Yes, yes. So we have $650,000 from this kind of warrants. The weighted price is $40 and the rest is around $900,000 belong to the employees, the employees option plan. And by the way, I'm inviting you also, as I told Brian before, we have a slide in the presentation, the new one that we just uploaded to the website, and you can see a pie with that describes the difference between the outstanding and the fully diluted and describes all what we said now.

Speaker 4

Okay. I'll take a look at that. My last question is just, as you look out for 'twenty four and into 'twenty five, are there any kinds of acquisitions or technology gaps that you feel that you need to fill in order to accomplish those plans? Or do you feel like right now you guys have everything you need in house with your current resources to achieve your plans over the next 12 to 18 months?

Speaker 1

Okay. So first, I will answer in a very simple way. The answer is yes. Currently, we have everything we need in order to support our growth engines and our revenues and all the products and the technologies that I just described in my pitch. But it doesn't say that over the time, we might find something interesting, something that can accelerate growth, something that can take us faster today and we are just investigating.

Speaker 1

By the way, as I mentioned, we saw a huge gap in the AI market between the experts of the AI that have their algorithms of to analyze data, but they need the data. And we think there is a huge gap there. We see it. We established a special committee with industry experts, and we see a very interesting opportunity there. So maybe over the time, we will find something interesting that we might consider, but at this point of time, it's not the plan.

Speaker 4

Okay. Thanks very much for taking my questions.

Speaker 1

Thank you very much.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question is coming from Nick Peters, a private investor. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 5

Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my call. Obviously, great job the last half here. Are you guys seeing any pricing pressure? I know when you look, say, on proxy ways, they show Bright Data, Smartproxy are cutting prices, but those look to be at the lower end, smaller customers.

Speaker 5

So are you seeing it at the higher size customers at all?

Speaker 1

So just to make sure that I understand your so you are asking if we see a pricing pressure because you think that the big our competitors like Oxilev and Vydata decreased meaning gave lower prices? That's the question?

Speaker 5

Yes. At least from what I see on their websites. But again, is that lower sizes?

Speaker 1

No, no. So basically, the answer is no. I don't the answer is no, because by the way, I don't think I don't think I'm not aware to the fact that they decrease prices or they cut prices, maybe for 1 or 2 products, but not something significant. And we don't we are not identifying at this point of time something that is happening in this field, something that they can say that they have an impact. As always, customers are negotiating and want to get the best price, but not something different from 1 year ago or other period.

Speaker 5

Okay. Excellent. And then the second part of my question is, do you foresee any changes to pricing as you add these new products on possibly to price your network a little bit cheaper and then upsell on the higher value added products over time?

Speaker 1

It might be one strategy, but okay. So it's all commercial and I prefer to keep it as a commercial issue inside, okay, because it's part of our pricing strategy, but it might be an option, yes, but not something that we are planning to do now, but it might be an option.

Speaker 5

All right. Sounds good. That's all the questions I have. Thanks, guys.

Speaker 1

Thank you very much.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question is coming from Jeff Harte with Harte Partners. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 6

Yes. Congratulations, Shikhar. Excellent quarter. You're really executing. I just have one quick question.

Speaker 6

I see you did not renew your F1. Is there any reason for this?

Speaker 1

You are meaning our F3, the shelf perspective, yes. So it's expired. We did not renew it because currently we are not planning to raise money. Although most of the companies have this F3, so basically now we did not renew it from focus issues and others, but maybe we'll do it in the future. But basically we didn't do it now because we don't see any point to renew it now.

Speaker 6

All right, very good. Excellent. That was my only question. Continue the great job.

Speaker 1

Thank you very much.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Robert Smith with the Center Performance Investing. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 7

Thank you. Thanks for taking my questions and congratulations on a superb quarter. You must have a business plan, at least an annual plan, it's not a 3 year plan. So how much of that could you reveal to us, I mean, as far as what you're looking for this year?

Speaker 1

So of course, I have in details for 1 year, for 2 years, for 3 years. We did not reveal it at this stage for some reasons. I guess in the coming future, we will start to expose more and more as we are growing. For example, we are starting now to talk about our retention and some other KPIs and measurements. You can find them in our new presentation.

Speaker 1

So at this point of time, I will not talk about numbers, but I think that in high level, yes, we are planning to keep our growth. As I mentioned in my pitch, we see the 1st 2 months of 2024 are going very well and supporting our growth plans. Of course, we want to keep on the balance between growth and profitability from meaning the operational profit, the EBITDA and other KPIs. We are pushing and investing a lot in our new and innovative products because it's the time now that according to our strategy, we are jumping to the next layer in the data stake, meaning from the IPPN to the data collection and labeling market by our scrapers and our collectors and our AI scrapers. And as I mentioned, we are recognizing the gaps in the AI world with of course, we have customers in this space.

Speaker 1

So we know what are the gaps and we think that we can play a significant role in this world also in the coming future. So this should be our growth engines for the next years besides of our current product. It is an amazing growth engine as you've seen our results. And this is more or less what I can say now if we are Opit answered your question even a little bit.

Speaker 7

So on a serial basis, you're suggesting that February was better than January?

Speaker 1

Yes. The question is yes.

Speaker 7

Yes. Okay. And so then stepping ahead a little to your IP situation, what are the protections that you have?

Speaker 1

What are you in protection on our intellectual property?

Speaker 7

Well, yes.

Speaker 1

So we have 2 patents protecting us in high level. And besides, I can tell you that the barriers, the entry barriers to our market and I see it in the real life when new players are trying to come in, is the fact that beside of our technology and software, one of our major intellectual property is the network. This network, it took us, you can see also in the results of NetNat, we lost money in the beginning, not that we lost, we invested a lot to bring talents, experts in DevOps, which are very hard to hire and we build a global network with thousands of servers that can serve petas of data, which is a huge amount of data in concurrent with concurrent customers to give a full global and to provide a full global coverage with high success rate, high performance, 0 downtime, it's something that it takes years and a lot of know how to achieve and to build. And the customers, by the way, are very sensitive to these KPIs that I just described, to the performance, to the global coverage, to the downtime, to the support. So I think the best protection is the fact that it's a know how that takes years to build.

Speaker 7

So obviously, the business is a brain game. So how about the question of hiring new personnel and research and in R and D as well?

Speaker 1

Yes. So what's the question?

Speaker 7

Well, what kind of focus do you have on hiring new talent and how much money to be spent in R and D?

Speaker 1

So as I answered Brian, the analyst in the one was his first question. So we hired a few talents last year to the R and D. We strengthened our human resources with great talent, by the way, not only in R and D, in other verticals and pillars like the sales and marketing, like the operation, like others. And it's basically, we are trying to keep on the current EBITDA rate, meaning the ratio between the operational profit and the revenues. So I don't see major impact on our P and L for this year at least.

Speaker 7

In the past you've used the term accelerating, the growth rate is accelerating. So how far into the future do you see that kind of acceleration possibility?

Speaker 1

Well, forever, most of our efforts and KPIs invested a lot in the growth. It's a combination of new customers and the level of satisfaction of current customers, which come to expressing the retention rate that you are measuring. Besides of it, we're investing a lot in the innovation and looking to the future, what will be the next big thing for our the next big opportunity for our technology and product. And as I mentioned a few times, we identified the artificial intelligence product, the AI world, as one of the big consumers for data. And we think that those together, hopefully, it will go we will do the we'll have a great product.

Speaker 1

We think it can maintain and support our growth over the in the future.

Speaker 7

Is the new product development and execution what's differentiating you from competition?

Speaker 1

Yes. So the AI collector should be a great competitive advantage and differentiator. The web and broker that we developed basically according to our measurements and our tests should be in few parameters to be the best in the market to disrupt the market. And some others feature capabilities, but these are our 2 main products for this year. And hopefully, for the AI world, I think we will bring a lot of innovation and differentiation from the current market.

Speaker 7

And just finally, what would you say are your 2 chief concerns going forward?

Speaker 1

Our world is changing so fast. So of course, we are trying to predict and project the future what will be the challenges of our customers, how we can solve them. So if I take it to the concern side, yes, so my concern is always if something will come and we didn't project it, okay, new technology, new challenges, something will change, something that we are at least me investing a lot, talking with analysts, talking with my colleagues, reading a lot of articles and learn a lot. We have here in the company researchers and product experts that are we are trying to mitigate this event, this risk. But I think this is the major thing that basically concern me, and I think will concern me forever because it's part of our world that is technology world that is changing so fast.
