Analysis · ALAR · Technology
Alarum Technologies reported a 28% increase in total revenue to $40.7 million for fiscal year 2025, driven by strong demand from a large-scale AI customer and new data collection solutions. However, this top-line growth was significantly offset by a 114% surge in cost of revenues and increased operating expenses, leading to a substantial decline in net profit from $5.8 million in 2024 to $1.0 million in 2025. Operating profit also fell sharply from $6.7 million to $0.2 million. Critically, the company's net cash flow from operating activities turned negative, moving from $8.9 million provided in 2024 to $2.0 million used in 2025. The Net Dollar-Based Retention Rate (NRR) also saw a considerable drop from 1.55 in Q4 2023 to 0.83 in Q4 2025, indicating a significant reduction in spending or increased churn among existing customers. While the dismissal of class action lawsuits is a positive development, the overall financial performance shows concerning trends in profitability and cash generation, despite revenue expansion.
