TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) (the "Company" or "A2Z"), a global leader in smart retail technology, announced earlier today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Management Commentary

"Second quarter results demonstrated strong execution from both an operational and financial perspective," noted Gadi Graus, Chief Executive Officer of A2Z Cust2Mate. "We nearly doubled unit deliveries from first quarter levels, including to an important new customer. We also introduced our next-generation Connected In-Store Commerce Platform, representing a significant evolution of our technology architecture and positioning the Company to support enterprise-scale deployments, retail media and in-store intelligence. In addition, we closed a $30 million line of credit with Bank Leumi, which provides funding to support the company's growth.

"The new customer, HaStock, a leading home goods retail chain in Israel with over 50 stores nationwide, took delivery of roughly half of the 2,000 units they contracted, and we are pleased to add this well-known retailer to our client roster. In addition, we recently announced an increased order from Super Sapir, a large food retailer in Israel with over 70 stores, for 4,000 additional units.

"In the second half of the year, we expect to accelerate shipments to several customers as a result of our dedicated Chinese mass manufacturing facility, which went online in the second quarter. In addition, there are several sales and marketing initiatives in process that provide considerable opportunities for expansion to Europe and the Americas. As we increase deliveries, we are gaining the capability to capitalize on retail media, which we expect to be a long-term growth and profit driver for the Company.

"During the quarter, we unveiled our next-generation Connected In-Store Commerce Platform, marking a significant evolution from a product-centric offering to a unified enterprise platform for modern retail. The platform connects shopper engagement, store operations, retail media and in-store intelligence through a scalable architecture designed for efficient manufacturing, large-scale deployment and chain-wide operations. The platform is designed to support retailers' digital transformation while creating new recurring revenue opportunities.

"We also are pleased to welcome Gadi Levin, our newly announced CFO, to the executive team. Gadi has decades of financial management experience and will be a huge asset as we scale the business. With his support, we are executing a corporate realignment, which is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately $7 million on an annual basis when completed. The initiative is designed to enhance our commercial expansion opportunities and sales efforts, while preserving our delivery capabilities.

"The $30 million credit line we closed with Bank Leumi will help fund inventory as we continue to scale our business and will support our future growth. It is also recognition of the substantial progress we are making in cart deliveries.

"Looking ahead, the Company continues to work overseas with potential new clients, and we expect to see our smart carts in at least two retailers outside of Israel in the next six months.

"During the second half of the year, we expect to deliver new carts to a number of customers and anticipate a meaningful sequential increase in deliveries in the third quarter, taking into consideration the September holiday calendar in Israel, followed by a major uptick in the fourth quarter. We also expect to grow our retail media revenues as we accelerate cart deliveries. 

"Our year-to-date performance, backlog, and visibility support our confidence in achieving our target of 10,000 deliveries by year-end 2026, increasing to 19,000 scheduled deliveries by the end of 2027. These metrics are based on existing purchase orders and contracted backlog, with additional order activity representing potential upside."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

(All comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted)

Revenue increased to $5.9 million, from $1.2 million in the prior year due to increased delivery of our new smart carts.

Gross profit increased to $2.5 million, from $0.3 million a year ago representing a gross margin of 42.6%, compared with 23.3% in the prior year quarter. The absolute increase is due to increased revenues and the improved margin is due to the achievement of economies of scale as we ramp up our manufacturing capabilities.

Operating loss was $7.6 million, compared to $6.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increased loss is primarily a result of increased payroll costs, which will now be reduced as part of our cost management initiatives.

Net loss for the period was $7.3 million compared to $12.6 million in the prior year quarter. The decreased net loss is primarily as a result of improved revenues and gross margin, offset by an increase in operating expenses. In the prior period, the Company incurred a net loss from discontinued operations of $1.4 million, which contributed to an increase in net loss in that period.
