SINGAPORE, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FAST TRACK GROUP (NASDAQ: FTRK) (“Fast Track” or the “Company”), an entertainment-focused event management and celebrity agency company, today issued a letter to its shareholders highlighting the future business outlook and strategy of the Company.

From FAST TRACK GROUP Chief Executive Officer Harris Lim

Dear Shareholders,

First, I want to extend my sincere appreciation for your patience, trust and continued support over the past few months. Since our IPO in May 2025, our journey as a public company has unfolded under unusual circumstances, as we faced a wave of misleading allegations that have impacted both our company and shareholders. In response, we issued this press release that combatted the false rumors and accusations – I want to personally guarantee everyone reading this letter and beyond, that the fundamentals of our business have not changed, and that we are very excited for the upcoming chapters for Fast Track.

Our Upcoming Opportunities

Over the past several months, we have concentrated our efforts on major brand activation initiatives – engaging with a diverse range of companies and brands across Southeast Asia and aligning them with high-profile celebrities whose audiences align closely with each brand’s target market. By creating these highly targeted and authentic endorsements, we are not only elevating brand visibility but also driving awareness and conversion potential in a way that is tailored to each market.

As an example, during the second half of 2024, we secured a brand activation deal valued at approximately $1.3 million with a new client and executed in collaboration with multinational talent and entertainment agencies. This three-part project – of which the first two phases were completed in May and July – centers on South Korean celebrities from these prominent agencies, carefully matched to the client’s target audience to maximize engagement and impact. The final phase is scheduled for October, at which point we plan to share additional details. Notably, this single deal already exceeds our total revenue for fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, underscoring the scale of this deal to accelerate growth.

Another recent brand activation deal was with an electric vehicle (EV) brand in the Southeast Asia market. Similar to the previous example, we were contracted to drive market penetration and support the brand’s marketing and positioning efforts in advance of a new product launch. The EV brand’s priority was to capture attention and generate strong publicity around this particular product launch. Leveraging our network and expertise, we identified and secured celebrity partnerships whose audiences align closely with the EV brand’s target market, helping amplify awareness, spark consumer interest, and create a buzz in the highly competitive Southeast Asian EV landscape. By strategically facilitating these partnerships, we provided the brand with a tailored and impactful marketing solution that differentiated them in a crowded field.

These examples represent a glimpse of the opportunities our team has been actively pursuing. We continue to explore and engage with new clients and partners across the Southeast Asia market, identifying ways to deliver our services and create meaningful experiences. Our efforts are focused on deepening our market presence, building strong relationships, and driving sustainable growth throughout the region.

Current Market Shift in the Live Entertainment Sector

While these opportunities are encouraging, we remain forward-looking, continuously exploring innovative ways to adapt our business model to evolving market trends and conditions. Traditionally, a significant portion of our live entertainment work was focused on concert organization. However, current market dynamics have made this approach increasingly challenging and risky, as concert organizers currently face low profitability and many smaller-scale events fail to generate meaningful returns. Additionally, the traditional concert model is difficult to scale, especially at our current size, due to the significant cash flow and manpower required.

That said, our growth strategy and how we approach future opportunities emphasizes both profitability and scalability. Strategically, we have shifted our focus from concert organization to concert tour management. This evolution aligns with current market realities while supporting our broader objective of innovating and adapting our business model.

This distinction is critical: as a concert organizer, especially at our current size, the risk lies with the venue, ticketing, cancellation, and other operational costs for a single event. By contrast, as a tour manager, we can leverage the same budget of a single concert to secure specific celebrity rights, which can then be offered to multiple concert organizers. This model mitigates the financial risks associated as an organizer while enhancing profitability and is more scalable. Instead of focusing on a single concert, we can supply celebrity talent to multiple organizers simultaneously, creating diversified revenue streams and maximizing the impact of our resources. This strategic pivot positions us to grow efficiently while maintaining flexibility and resilience in this market.

As part of this shift, we’ve already begun putting our new business model into action. We are currently in discussions to finalize two concert tours for a few celebrities in the Asia region. That said, this does not mean we are exiting the concert organizer business entirely. We will remain opportunistic – leveraging our extensive network of celebrities, we are prepared to organize concerts directly when opportunities align with a clear ROI. Our goal is to remain agile in response to evolving market trends and shifts within the live entertainment sector. With experience as both a concert organizer and a tour manager, we can adapt to changing conditions, seize the right opportunities, and maintain flexibility while driving sustainable growth. This dual capability positions us to respond strategically, ensuring long-term relevance and profitability in a dynamic market.

Future Growth Strategy

To further accelerate our growth in celebrity-driven initiatives, building strategic partnerships with key firms in the entertainment and media industry remains a central focus. Collaborating with agencies to deliver enhanced services to our clients and cultivating strong industry relationships are both essential to our success in the broader entertainment ecosystem.

This approach is evident in the example I shared earlier, where we collaborate with several agencies representing high-profile celebrities to facilitate the three-part brand activation project.

Additionally, while still in the early stages, we are exploring opportunities to consolidate intellectual property, artist ownership, and music licensing rights. This initiative would allow us to secure exclusive celebrity rights, enabling us to more effectively facilitate concerts, brand activations, and marketing projects, while expanding the range and depth of services we can offer our clients.

In an industry where relationships are key to unlocking new business opportunities, we recognize that results may not always be immediate; however, by continuing to invest time and effort into this initiative, we are positioning ourselves for sustainable long-term growth.

Closing Remarks

In closing, we see strong opportunities ahead as we work with our clients to finalize the deals currently in progress. The brand activation projects and other upcoming opportunities highlighted earlier represent just a small portion of our broader pipeline and will play a key role as growth drivers as we continue to scale the business. We remain confident in the progress made across our pipeline since our IPO and look forward to sharing further details, along with additional opportunities, as they are finalized.

We sincerely thank all our shareholders and supporters for their continued trust and support as we navigate this unique journey in the market. Our focus remains firmly on building strategic partnerships, delivering consistent value to our clients, and scaling our business to generate sustainable, long-term results.

Sincerely,
Harris Lim
Chief Executive Officer and Director

Deepening collaborations with major global customers while accelerating investments in



technology and talent to cement Alarum’s key positioning in the AI value chain

Q2 2025 revenues of $8.8 million, net profit of $0.3 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alarum Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq, TASE: ALAR) (“Alarum” or the “Company”), a global provider of web data collection solutions, today announced financial results for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025.

Management Commentary

“Our focus and progress this quarter, as well as our outlook, are mainly driven by very strong demand for data from major global players in the artificial intelligence (AI) segment for training large language and other foundational models,” commented Shahar Daniel, Chief Executive Officer of Alarum. “Alarum’s market-leading data collection solutions are increasingly gaining traction with global leaders. Several leading AI and e-commerce companies have significantly expanded their usage of our services, relying on our advanced data collection global platform and products to fuel their large-scale data needs and initiatives. This highlights the strategic partnerships we are building with leading global customers, expanding our market presence and strengthening Alarum’s role as a trusted long-term strategic partner in the AI global ecosystem.”

“We are very proud of the growth achieved in the quarter and encouraged by the higher revenue levels we believe we will see in the upcoming quarter. The AI segment is in its early growth stages, which is likely to be highly dynamic in nature as it progresses towards maturity. The entire market and all its players along the value chain, including our customers, are in the middle of a major transformation and exploring various business models with an eye towards profitability. As AI business models evolve over the quarters ahead, we may experience volatility in demand and usage of our platform, potentially influencing short-term quarterly financial performance, even while the long-term growth trend remains intact and significant. We strongly believe that the new capabilities and applications enabled by AI are here to stay for the long-term, and we are investing to ensure Alarum cements itself as a central player in this new era.”

Mr. Daniel continued: “Our technology is increasingly recognized by customers as a critical enabler of the AI boom, which is powering today’s surge in the demand for large-scale data. We believe that Alarum is exactly in the right place at the perfect time at the heart of the AI revolution, with tremendous opportunities ahead. Through continued investments in expanding our infrastructure, R&D, talent, marketing, sales and customer acquisition, we aim to position Alarum to capture the opportunities ahead and drive a long-term trajectory of revenue growth and high profitability.”

Business Highlights

–  Expanded traction with major AI and e-commerce players – new strategic collaborations include a top Asian online marketplace developing its own large language model, a global electronics brand, and a European AI firm leveraging Alarum’s platform and products for large-scale data labeling and model fine-tuning.

–  Strategic investments for a sustainable growth – the Company is investing in its infrastructure, up-scaling operations, and strengthening its global proxy network to support the booming market demand, while maintaining high operational efficiency.

–  Visibility and a highly dynamic pipeline – the Company expects a substantial increase in revenues in the third quarter of 2025. At the same time, the AI market is undergoing a profound transformation, with many AI companies still defining their business model in this new world. This dynamism may result in both positive and negative fluctuations in Alarum’s quarterly revenue levels along the way.

–  Strengthened product portfolio – the growing demand for Alarum’s primary subsidiary, NetNut Ltd.’s (“NetNut”) data collection suite, including NetNut’s Data Collector (Serp API), data sets, Website Unblocker and advanced proxy network, is increasingly contributing to the Company’s total revenues.

–  Significant shift in market verticals – the Company is experiencing a notable shift in customer segments, with strong growth in the AI vertical, offset by a decline in others. As a result, the Net Retention Rate (“NRR”) was 0.98, while overall revenues grew significantly versus the prior quarter.

Second Quarter and First Half 2025 Financial Analysis

–  Revenue in Q2 2025 totalled $8.8 million (Q2 2024: $8.9 million) and $15.9 million for the first half of 2025 (H1 2024: $17.3 million). The revenues were impacted by market fluctuations. The decline in the half year results, compared to the equivalent period in 2024, was driven by a reduced consumption from several large customers due to changes in their businesses. In Q2 2025, revenues stabilized and showed growth momentum.

–  Cost of revenue in Q2 2025 was $3.4 million (Q2 2024: $2.1 million), and $5.7 million for the first six months of 2025 (H1 2024 $3.9 million). The increase was primarily driven by the Company’s work with large customers, primarily Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies, which require data gathering at significantly higher scales, in turn necessitating a larger volume of servers as well as stronger and higher-quality infrastructure.

–  Gross profit in Q2 2025 amounted to $5.4 million (Q2 2024: $6.8 million), and in H1 2025 $10.2 million (H1 2024: $13.4 million).

–  Operating expenses in Q2 2025 totalled $5.4 million (Q2 2024: $4.2 million), and $9.9 million in the first six months of 2025 (H1 2024: $8.1 million). The increase was mainly due to an increase in research and development expenses.

–  Financial income, net, in Q2 2025 was $0.4 million (Q2 2024: financial expense, net, of $2.5 million). The variance between periods was mainly due to the fair value increase of derivative financial instruments in the second quarter of 2024, resulting from the sharp share price rise during that period.

–  Net profit in Q2 2025 was $0.3 million (Q2 2024: a loss of $0.4 million), and $0.7 million in the first half of 2025 (H1 2024: $1.1 million).

–  As of June 30, 2025, shareholders’ equity increased to $29.1 million, up from $26.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase was due to the contribution of first half 2025 net profit.

–  Outstanding ordinary share count as of June 30, 2025, was approximately 70.2 million shares, or 7.0 million in US-listed ADSs.

Financial Outlook

“Looking ahead, we expect to see the strong momentum and traction for our products continue into the third quarter of 2025, and as such, we expect third quarter revenues of approximately $12.8 million ±7%, up 78% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $1.1 million +/-$0.5 million,” said Mr. Shai Avnit, Chief Financial Officer of Alarum.

“This guidance includes the initial impact of a new large-scale AI data project with a major existing customer, which is expected to contribute approximately $3 million of revenue during the third quarter. We engaged in this project at rapid speed, prioritizing collaboration and execution with one of the world’s leading technology players. As we are still in the early ramp-up stages, it is not currently clear what the full scope and length of the project will be. Also at the initiation stages of this project, we are actively optimizing infrastructure and cost structures, and expect near-term profitability from this project to be limited. Given the size of the project, it is expected to have a noticeable impact on the Company’s overall profitability in the third quarter.

“We view this as a strategic collaboration and a significant step for Alarum to strengthen its positioning as a data collection leader for the AI market, with the potential to expand a key partnership with one of the world’s largest technology players.”, concluded Mr. Avnit.

The Company is unable to present a reconciliation of estimated Adjusted EBITDA to net profit as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty, and without unreasonable effort, the impact and timing of certain expenses on net profit. The financial impact of these expenses is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company defines EBITDA (EBITDA loss) as net profit (loss) before depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets (if any), financial income (expense) and income tax; defines Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA loss) as EBITDA (EBITDA loss) as further adjusted to remove the impact of (i) impairment of goodwill (if any); and (ii) share-based compensation; defines non-IFRS net profit (loss) as net profit (loss) before depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets (if any), impairment of goodwill (if any), financial income (expense) effects primarily related to derivative financial instruments as well as long-term loans, deferred tax effects and share-based compensation; defines non-IFRS gross profit as gross profit adjusted to remove the impact of depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and share-based compensation recorded under cost of revenues; defines non-IFRS gross margin as the percentage of the non-IFRS gross profit out of revenues; and defines non-IFRS basic earnings (loss) per share or ADS as non-IFRS net profit (loss) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares or ADSs. The Company’s management believes the non-IFRS financial information provided in this press release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company’s ongoing operations. Management also uses both IFRS and non-IFRS information in evaluating and operating its business internally, and as such deemed it important to provide this information to investors. The non-IFRS financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, and the financial results calculated in accordance with IFRS and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures provided in the financial statement tables herein.

Other Metrics

NRR is a key indicator of customer base health and revenue expansion. It is based on NRR point in time, which measures the revenue growth of current customers over the past four quarters, compared to the revenue generated from these customers during the same period a year earlier.

NRR is calculated as an average of the NRR points in time for the end of the current period and the three preceding quarters.

NRR > 1 (or 100%): Indicates revenue growth driven by existing customers, where upsells and cross-sells outweigh churn.

NRR < 1 (or 100%): Shows revenue loss due to churn exceeding gains from upsells or cross-sells.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today at its annual Technology Summit in California, GlobalFoundries (GF)(Nasdaq: GFS) announced the production release of its 130nm complementary Bi-CMOS (CBIC) platform, the company’s highest-performance silicon germanium (SiGe) technology to date.

Now available for design with a process design kit (PDK), 130CBIC delivers unmatched performance with NPN transistors exceeding 400 GHz ft/fmax and PNP transistors surpassing 200 GHz—making it the only high-performance SiGe platform capable of addressing multiple key markets including smartphones, wireless infrastructure, optical networking, satellite communications and industrial IoT.

Developed and manufactured at GF’s facility in Burlington, Vermont, 130CBIC is optimized to push the limits of RF performance in connected applications while reducing cost. For cellular smartphones, the platform enables low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) that reduce current consumption while maintaining ultra-low noise figure, helping to reduce battery drain. In the datacenter, the platform’s high-performance PNP transistors enable innovative amplifier topologies that deliver high gain-bandwidth at lower power for high-speed analog and optical networking. The platform also supports advanced mmWave industrial radar applications exceeding 100GHz, enabling high resolution sensing and distance ranging in a reduced form factor.

“130CBIC represents a major milestone in our SiGe roadmap, setting a new benchmark for performance for the broad spectrum of high-growth markets that rely on advanced RF technologies for high-speed, energy-efficient connectivity,” said Shankaran Janardhanan, senior vice president of GF’s RF product line. “By combining industry-leading transistor performance with a low-mask count process, we’re opening new avenues of RF innovation to our customers across the board and enabling them to ramp new technologies to market faster.”

130CBIC is available for prototyping through GF’s GlobalShuttle multi-project wafer program, with shuttles scheduled through 2025 and 2026. RF reference designs are available through GF’s self-service GF Connect portal to help jumpstart the design process.
