Key Q&A
Q:What percent of your revenue is now defense based?
A:More than 60% of the total consolidated revenues, and it is anticipated to grow in 2026 due to increasing demand in the Defense segment.
Q:Is the Defense business mostly directly with the IDF or through other companies like Rafael or Elbit?
A:It is mostly through Rafael, Elbit, and the Israeli aircraft industry. Recently, they are also bidding directly with the IDF, aided by a new Board member with a strong IDF background.
Q:Is the tax loss carryforward still around $60 million, and can only an Israeli-based company take advantage of it if they acquired you?
A:Even if a foreign company acquires control of BOS, the company is registered in Israel. If it continues to generate profit, it won't pay taxes regardless of the holder of the company.
Q:Why wouldn't a company like Elbit Systems acquire BOS to take advantage of the $60 million tax loss carryforward?
A:There are no antitrust laws or limitations preventing this. It depends on the strategic decisions of the acquiring company.
Q:Have you made any progress on acquiring other companies or are there any targets you are willing to discuss?
A:There are at least two opportunities being evaluated. The company has the tools to proceed once a suitable deal is identified, but no specific targets were disclosed.
Q:Can you highlight any new major customers this quarter or did the bulk of the business come from existing customers?
A:The focus is on expanding offerings to the existing customer base. New customers exist, but growth is driven by new product lines, especially wiring for clients in Israel and India.
Q:Despite the raised guidance, why will the second half of the year be down versus the first half?
A:The first quarter had exceptional record revenues. Additionally, supply chain issues and backlog management necessitate a cautious approach, leading to conservative estimates for the second half.
Q:Can you shed more light on the Robotics division and any new product roadmap?
A:The Robotics division focuses on defense clients in Israel, primarily Elbit Systems. The backlog is about $3 million, with delays due to client facility readiness. A robotic production line is being installed in Europe, and there are plans to expand globally through Elbit.
Q:Is there potential to repurpose Robotics technology into other industries, especially in the U.S.?
A:The focus remains on defense, but in Israel, the Robotics division also serves the civil market, particularly logistics centers. Expansion into the U.S. market would likely occur through existing clients.
Q:Have you firmed up plans for U.S. marketing and investor relations?
A:Plans are being finalized, and a schedule will be shared with interested investors. The visit is expected to occur in October.
Q:How much of the defense business is due to replenishing stocks after conflicts, and what happens if peace prevails?
A:The Israeli defense industry is strong and expected to grow due to increased budgets for ammunition and production lines. The company anticipates extensive budget expansion over the next two years.
Q:Do you see significant international opportunities, especially in India?
A:India is a major focus due to its role as a defense assembly hub. The company is considering opening a local office in India to expand business opportunities, particularly in cabling and wiring.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific details on the progress of acquiring other companies, only stating that opportunities are being evaluated. Additionally, while discussing Robotics technology expansion into other industries, the response lacked clarity on concrete plans for the U.S. market.
