Arbe Robotics Ltd. reported fourth‑quarter 2025 results that included $460,000 in revenue, a net loss of $10.2 million, and an operating loss of $11.6 million. The company’s gross profit was negative $0.1 million, reflecting the high cost of developing its 4‑D imaging radar platform relative to the modest sales volume.
The revenue figure fell short of the consensus estimate of $0.7 million, a miss of roughly 34%. The shortfall is largely attributable to the company’s early‑stage commercial traction; demand for high‑resolution radar remains limited as automotive OEMs continue to evaluate Level 3 autonomy timelines. The company’s backlog of $1.3 million indicates that order flow has not yet accelerated to offset the high operating expenses.
Despite the revenue miss, Arbe’s earnings per share of a loss of $0.08 beat the consensus estimate of a loss of $0.09. The beat was driven by disciplined cost management, including a reduction in share‑based compensation that lowered operating expenses to $11.5 million. The company’s cash burn of $32.5 million per year remains high, but the tighter expense base helps contain the loss trajectory.
Management highlighted a strategic pivot away from the uncertain Western automotive market toward sectors with shorter adoption cycles, such as defense, robotaxi, and marine safety. CEO Kobi Marenko said the company had completed a strategic review and refined its go‑to‑market priorities, while Chief Business Officer Ram Machness will assume the CEO role on April 1, 2026, with Marenko moving to President. CFO Karine Pinto‑Flomenboim noted that the decline in share‑based compensation was a key factor in the narrowed operating loss.
Analysts project first‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.275 million and a non‑GAAP loss per share of $0.102. For the full 2026 fiscal year, consensus estimates forecast sales of $8.821 million and an EPS loss of $0.3621. Arbe recently closed an underwritten direct offering that raised $18.5 million in gross proceeds, underscoring the company’s ongoing need for capital to sustain operations until automotive revenue materializes.
The results underscore Arbe’s continued pre‑revenue, high‑cash‑burn status and the need for additional capital to bridge the gap to profitability. The company’s strategic shift and leadership transition signal a focus on markets with faster adoption cycles, but the revenue miss and negative gross profit highlight the challenges that remain before the business can achieve sustainable profitability.
