MTI Wireless Edge Ltd (AIM: MWE), the technology group focused on comprehensive communication and radio frequency solutions across multiple sectors, is pleased to today announce its financial results for the six month period ended 30 June 2025.

Operational highlights

Antenna Division

  • The Antenna division continues to experience strong revenue growth, driven by demand in both 5G and defence markets, with sales up by 23% during the period. Global defence spending is increasing, particularly on next-generation military hardware, where antennas play a crucial role, a trend which is benefiting the division significantly.
  • The global military antenna market size was valued at USD 3.62 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 5.44 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.4% (Research and Markets, February 2025).
  • Sales of the 5G backhaul solution rose significantly by 40%, primarily driven by the Indian market, though demand from this region remains challenging to predict. Several large contract wins in the division have generated a substantial order backlog, providing excellent visibility for a successful year ahead.

Mottech

  • Following a slightly slower 2024, Mottech sales have risen by 8%, supported by key contract wins in Israel and the USA. The Italian contract, announced in May 2025, involving large-scale agricultural irrigation, and initially valued at €1 million, is expected to contribute strongly in the second half of the year. Overall, Mottech is well positioned to deliver a good performance this year.

MTI Summit

· MTI Summit sales decreased 3%, due to a change in one of the service agreements relating to tethered balloons, which did not impact the agreement's profitability. The core business of providing comprehensive radio frequency and microwave solutions grew 12% in the period and continues to generate a substantial order backlog. The division has a healthy pipeline of new design tenders, which bodes well for future prospects. Additionally, PSK, the defence company in which the Company recently increased its stake to 60%, completed a successful second quarter, secured several new contracts, and has positioned itself to contribute positively moving forward.

Moni Borovitz, Chief Executive Officer of MTI Wireless Edge, said:

"MTI is in a strong position, with all three divisions performing well, underpinned by sustained demand for our radio frequency solutions across our core markets of water, defence, and 5G. These sectors continue to grow, and our technologies are well aligned to capitalise on this momentum. Defence, in particular, has delivered a marked increase in both sales and order intake - a trend we expect to continue into the medium term as our offering and technologies are expanding.

While the ongoing conflict involving Israel is deeply concerning, its direct impact on our operations has been limited. Financially, the Group remains robust, with a cash balance exceeding $5 million and significantly improved operational cash generation during the period, being similar to the EBIT in the period.

With a strong order backlog, diversified growth drivers in 5G, defence, and smart irrigation, and a robust balance sheet, MTI has delivered strong trading performance in the half year, and with good visibility over its forward order book and pipeline of opportunities, the Company is confident of the outlook for the full year."

The first half of 2025 has been a good trading period for the business. All three divisions are performing well with the defence sector strongest of all. In the last two years, the Group experienced a marked increase in defence related enquiries which have since translated into firm orders being delivered across this year and into 2026. Globally, governments are locking-in increases to defence budgets over the medium term which indicates a sustained increase in defence related sales for the Group.

While the Group is clearly benefiting from the uplift in defence demand, the Company remains focused on its long-standing strategy of maintaining a diversified business across three divisions, each focused on distinct sectors, which has been the foundation of the Group's consistent performance and resilience to date.

Antenna division

The antenna division experienced a positive uplift driven by sales increasing over 40% for both the Group's 5G backhaul antenna solution and for military antennas. This growth was supported by increased global defence spending, as governments reallocate budgets towards next-generation military hardware in response to rising geopolitical tensions. Antennas are often a crucial part of next generation warfare and this structural shift is therefore expected to be beneficial over the long-term. This, together with the Company developing more advanced solutions and technologies, helped with securing a healthy backlog of orders for military antennas and good visibility over further potential orders.

Demand for the 5G backhaul antenna solution has been high, primarily from leading cellular operators in India. 5G sales have slowed slightly going into Q3 after a very strong H1. However, the fundamental prospects remain very positive. All cellular operators in India are committed to establishing 5G networks and therefore all need a backhaul solution. MTI is a well-established supplier in India with a proven solution, making continued overall growth in this market a reasonable expectation.

The ABS antenna solution, which ensures the antenna adapts to any small movements caused by different climate conditions, is developing well, having been tested thoroughly and successfully by multiple Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers. As a result, ABS has now moved into production with MTI working on it with nearly all major Tier 1 corporations. As a new technology addressing a real operational challenge, ABS has also served as a strong entry point for MTI with new prospective clients, many of whom may also require the Group's 5G backhaul solution.

Water Control & Management division

This division provides wireless control systems to manage irrigation and water distribution for agriculture, municipal authorities and commercial entities. It operates under the Mottech brand and utilises part of the hardware technology from Motorola, integrated with the Company's own proprietary hardware and management software. Our solutions reduce water and power usage, whilst providing higher revenue from accurate irrigation, leading to an increased number and improved quality of crops cultivated.

It has been an active six months for Mottech, with a number of new projects which are expected to support the long-term future of the division. Good performances in Israel and the US helped revenues increase by 8%.

Mottech's fountain control management solution, launched in 2024, continues to develop well and is in the process of agreeing a contract with a third municipality with further prospects in the pipeline. This will of course add to the recurring revenue from services in the future.

In May 2025, Mottech announced the commencement of a new large scale agricultural irrigation project in Italy with an existing client. Initially valued at €1million, if successful, it is expected to deliver significant further income. The Arabian Gulf is also developing as a market with good prospects in the agricultural sector.

Mottech launched its Elite Pro, a smart irrigation controller, designed to deliver exceptional results for farms, landscapes, sports fields, and other irrigation-intensive applications. Customer response has been positive and this is leading to new commercial opportunities.

Distribution & Professional Consulting Services division

Operating under the MTI Summit Electronics brand, this division exclusively represents approximately 40 international suppliers of radio frequency/microwave components and sells these products to Israeli customers. Expert knowledge of both the international suppliers and customers further enables MTI to act as a consultant to all parties and assist with devising complete radio frequency/microwave solutions.

MTI Summit delivered a positive performance in the first half of the year. The strategic agreement established in 2021 with a major defence company, designed to streamline component orders under a pre-agreed pricing structure, has been extended to mid-2026. This agreement has proven effective, with the customer typically placing orders exceeding $4 million annually. Good progress continues to be made in the sale of testing and measurement equipment.

Importantly, PSK which encountered a challenging trading period in 2024, has shown its underlying potential with a series of important new contract wins. MTI recently increased its ownership in PSK to 60%, with PSK having completed a successful six months, increasing its orderbook significantly. In the second quarter of the year PSK returned to operational profit and is positioned to contribute positively going forward.

Looking ahead, MTI Summit is well positioned to capitalize on a growing number of design solution requests, which are expected to further strengthen an already robust order pipeline.

Outlook

Trading to date in Q3 has been positive building on the strong first half performance. The orderbooks across the Group show an encouraging backlog of orders, which together with upcoming tenders mean the Company is well placed for the year.

Note 5 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

  • The Board of directors declared a cash dividend of 3.3 US cents per share being approximately $2,922,000. This dividend was paid on 11 April 2025 to shareholders on the register at the close of trading on 28 March 2025.
  • The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 were authorized for issue by the board as a whole following their approval on 16 March 2025.
  • On 24 January 2019, the Company announced a share repurchase program to conduct market purchases of ordinary shares of par value 0.01 Israeli Shekels each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company up to a maximum value of £150,000 (the "Programme"). Thereafter, the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of MTI Engineering have decided to continue with the Programme for several further periods and to increase the maximum value of the Programme up to £1,000,000, plus any additional funds received from dividends or profits from selling the shares, although the current intention is to hold the Ordinary Shares purchased for a longer period of time. The Programme is currently in place until the end of March 2026 and as at 30 June 2025, 2,343,000 Ordinary Shares were held in treasury under the Programme.
  • On 7 October 2023 Israel was attacked by the Hamas terror organization leading to war in the Gaza region. The war has led to a slowdown in the Israeli economy and if this war continues for a prolonged period, then it may begin to impact the Company. The wide usage of military reserve personnel, adverse foreign currency exchange rates and restrictions on access to certain areas in Israel are risks which may affect the Company if there is a prolonged period of war. As of the date of this report, and to the best of the Company's knowledge, the war has not had a significant effect on the Company. The Company continues to review the effects of the war on its trading as it believes that if the war continues for a long period of time then the overall Israeli economy will be effected, and factors including the lack of available manpower, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates may have an impact on its trading.
  • On 20 June 2025 Mr. Zvi Borovitz, the Company's founder and Chairman of the board, passed.
