RA'ANANA, Israel, Nov. 9, 2026 — NextVision Stabilized Systems Ltd. (TASE: NXSN), a technology growth company that develops, manufactures and markets stabilized day- and night-vision imaging solutions for ground and aerial platforms such as micro and mini UAVs and drones, with industry-leading weight-to-size and performance ratios, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026.
Chen Golan, Chairman of NextVision, commented: "NextVision continues to strengthen its position in the global market, with significant revenue growth and improved profitability. One of our most important growth engines is the expansion of activity with a growing customer base. Alongside our largest customers, we see additional customers increasing the scale of their activity with us and becoming more significant for the Company. This trend reflects confidence in our technology and the opportunities ahead of us for continued growth.
"We are already preparing for the activity levels of the coming years, expanding our production capacity, improving efficiency and continuing to invest in infrastructure, supported by the Company's strong cash flow. As part of this strategy, we are building a global manufacturing network, with our European production line establishing its operations and plans to expand production to the United States as well. Our presence in key markets will allow us to be closer to our customers, address local-manufacturing requirements and strengthen our ability to compete for additional business opportunities.
"Looking ahead, we are working to deepen NextVision's position as a technology partner of the world's leading platform manufacturers, and to expand the integration of our systems into additional platforms and missions. Alongside continued independent development and organic growth, targeted acquisitions of complementary technologies and capabilities are part of our strategy to broaden our solutions portfolio, strengthen our competitive advantage and build the Company's next growth engines. We see a market with significant potential, and we continue to invest in order to increase NextVision's place in it for years to come."
Financial Highlights for Q3 2026
Revenue in the third quarter grew 125% to $106.4 million, compared with $47.3 million in the same quarter last year. Revenue for the first nine months of the year totaled $261.9 million, an increase of 117%.
The Company grew in all geographic regions. Europe continues to be its largest market, with revenue of $164.6 million in the first nine months, an increase of 138%. Revenue from North America rose 80% to $57.1 million, alongside growth in Israel and in additional markets.
The Company has more than 300 customers worldwide, of which 185 were active during the first nine months of 2026. Revenue from customers beyond the three largest customers totaled approximately $105 million, of which approximately $52 million was in the third quarter alone.
Gross profit totaled $71.0 million, an increase of 118% compared with $32.5 million in the same quarter last year. Gross margin in the third quarter improved to 66.7%, compared with 65.2% in the second quarter of the year. Efficiencies in manufacturing processes and higher productivity per employee support higher levels of activity and the maintenance of high profitability, even against the backdrop of rising raw material and component costs.
Operating profit jumped 133% to $65.8 million, compared with $28.3 million in the same quarter last year. The operating margin improved in the third quarter to 61.8%, after 56.9% in the first quarter and 58.8% in the second quarter, and compared with 59.8% in the same quarter last year. While revenue more than doubled, operating expenses grew at a significantly more moderate rate and their share of revenue declined to 4.9%, compared with 8.9% in the same quarter last year. These figures illustrate the Company's ability to translate revenue growth into improved profitability.
Net profit grew 113% to $60.1 million in the third quarter, compared with $28.2 million in the same quarter last year. Net profit for the first nine months totaled $152 million, more than double the $72 million in the same period last year.
Cash flow from operating activities in the first nine months totaled $128.4 million, 3.6 times the $35.2 million in the same period last year, after investing approximately $38.9 million in an inventory increase. In the third quarter alone, operating cash flow reached $53.3 million, almost three times the $18.8 million in the same quarter last year, after an inventory increase of approximately $20.8 million. The cash flow reflects the Company's ability to generate cash while, at the same time, stocking up on components to support the expansion of production and shorter delivery times.
Order backlog as of the date of this release totaled $209.3 million, compared with $124 million at the same time last year, an increase of 69%, and compared with $265.2 million at the time of the second-quarter results. The decrease compared with the previous quarter was affected, among other things, by the increase in delivery volumes, alongside the timing of new orders that are expected to be received over the coming weeks. Streamlined work processes and training contribute to higher productivity per employee and increased output, enabling the Company to convert orders into revenue faster. This capability strengthens the Company's competitive advantage in responding quickly to customer needs and in aligning production with their growth.
Production Line in Europe: The Company is advancing the establishment of its production capability in Europe. The move is part of the Company's strategic plan to expand its global manufacturing infrastructure, and is intended to strengthen the Company's presence in the European market, address customers who prefer European manufacturing and broaden the business opportunities available to the Company in the region. The Company is in the process of establishing a European subsidiary to operate the production line.
