Performance Overview and Challenges
Odysight ai Inc reported a substantial increase in revenue, achieving approximately $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2023. This 145% growth is attributed to higher unit sale prices and increased sales volume, particularly to a Fortune 500 multinational healthcare corporation.

These challenges highlight the ongoing need for strategic cost management and operational efficiency.

These accomplishments underscore the company's growing influence in the hardware industry, particularly in sectors requiring advanced PdM and CBM solutions. The successful private placement of $10.3 million in July further supports the company's growth ambitions and potential Nasdaq uplisting.
