News: SaverOne Enters into Term Sheet to Acquire Assets and Operations of Micronet Ltd.
Will Expand SaverOne's product line and upon closing of the acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to SaverOne
PETAH TIKVAH, Israel, Dec. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE) (TASE: SVRE), a technology company specializing in transportation safety solutions, today announced that it has signed a term sheet for the strategic acquisition of certain operations, products and IP of Micronet Ltd., a developer of advanced telematics systems cameras and Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS). Upon closing of this acquisition, it will broaden SaverOne's product portfolio and customer base, and is expected to accelerate SaverOne's go-to-market strategy in the US market.
Micronet Ltd. is a publicly traded company on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, under the ticker MCRNT. SaverOne's management expects the acquisition of the Micronet Ltd. operations and assets that are to be acquired, will be immediately accretive to SaverOne following the closing.
The final deal terms are expected to be closed after concluding a due-diligence process. The majority of the consideration for the operations and assets will be contingent payments, related to the acquired operation's performance. In addition, SaverOne will assume all Micronet Ltd.'s prior obligations towards its customers, mainly including product warranties, customer service, returns, repairs, etc., and SaverOne will be compensated by Micronet Ltd. in future in connection with the provision of these services.
The deal is expected to be signed and close in early 2024.
"We are very pleased to announce this first step towards the acquisition of certain Micronet assets, IP and operations which is expected to enhance and broaden SaverOne's product portfolio and customer base," commented Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne. "Aligned with our strategy, we see strong synergies with SaverOne's existing activities, leveraging the addition of Micronet's product portfolio. Micronet's customer-base in the United States is expected to create strong added-sales opportunities for SaverOne systems. We believe that we are acquiring a strong IP suite, including a leading DMS product and next-generation cameras that well compliment our existing product lines. We are also pleased that the acquisition is expected to be accretive from day one, leveraging on SaverOne's existing engineering, sales and marketing infrastructure. This transaction represents potential immediate revenue growth given Micronet's product suite including a new integrated Camera with our DDPS product, as well as opportunities for additional new customers, particularly in the United States."

SaverOne: Publicly Traded Tech Startup With Highly Positively Skewed Risk-Reward Ratio
https://talkmarkets.com/content/stocks--equities/saverone-publicly-traded-tech-startup-with-highly-positively-skewed-risk-reward-ratio?post=423342
It’s not often you come across a startup tech company focused on a niche in the self-driving/EV space, with revenue, in fact with revenue growth of 4X year-over-year, and with a valuation below its seed-round value when it was two guys with a good idea in a garage.
We have come across SaverOne, a Nasdaq listed company with ticker SVRE. Market cap is around $4m. (no mistake: million, not billion), that is. It is a nano-cap and to advance to a micro-cap company, it would have to go up by over 10x.
Valuation and Financials
Part of the reason for the tiny market cap is that this company is focused on growth rather than profitability and the capital markets have been particularly unforgiving in 2022 and 2023, for smaller companies that need to raise capital. SaverOne is no exception and looks like one of the extreme data-points in this regard.
While its difficult to really value these early stage companies in today’s market, at a $5m market cap, the company’s shares are almost like a long-dated option- they will either eventually go to zero given a lack of progress, or if SaverOne has success, it will end up at many multiples where it is today.
In terms of financials, the company reports twice a year. In its first half year 2023 results (to quote), it reported “Revenue up ~4X YoY in H1 2023 and expects continued growth in H2 2023”. H1 2023 revenue was $399k compared with $103k in H1 2022.
Even though typical for a company at this stage in its development, the market cap at near zero is in part due to the ongoing operating and net loss, which were $4.8m and a balance sheet cash only at $5.0m. This implies a cash position at a point where they need to raise some new capital. They have an equity-line in place, where they can issue shares at market price into volume in the market and via this we believe they have been raised some additional capital. Thus, a further reason for the low market cap is the expectations of ongoing dilution to shareholders until they reach breakeven. Even so, given the current market cap, all these risks are more than baked in already into the share price.
Bottom line, given the valuation, the risk-reward here is highly skewed: it is the full share price to the downside or many multiples of that to the upside.
SaverOne’s Solves the Major Cause of Car Accidents - Distracted Driving
Over the past decade, new cars have been adding sensors to enhance safety, by providing drivers with better situational awareness with the goal of ultimately lowering the chance of an accident. Examples are forward collision warnings, emergency braking, lane departure warnings, blind spot detection, backup cameras, etc.
However, human drivers still get distracted and distraction is a major cause of accidents causing almost a third of all car accidents according to the US National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) . A major reason for distraction is the smartphone.
Over the years, there has been progress made through hands-free, voice-response technology to reduce the number of direct screen interactions with the handset. The significant growth of social media and messaging over the past decade makes the smartphone a major distraction to eyes fixed on the road. Despite trying to police and educating the public to the risks, many users (particularly younger drivers) continue to use their phones while operating a vehicle, believing that a short glance at a text is probably harmless.
According to a report by the NHTSA, in the year 2019, in the just the United States, crashes where the driver was identified as being distracted resulted in over 10,000 fatalities, 1.3 million injuries, costing $100 billion in economic losses, and were 29% of all crash costs.
SaverOne’s Solution
SaverOne’s technological advantage which has over XX patents, is built around locating and exactly pinpointing the source of radiofrequency (RF) waves from a cellphone.
SaverOne can pinpoint a cellphone just in the area of the driver’s seat blocking the potentially distracting apps only from the drivers phone, but not of any of the passengers. Useful apps such as hands free navigation can continue to be enabled.
The system is typically installed in the aftermarket, meaning a garage or installer will put in the system after the car has been purchased. In addition, the driver will need to have an app installed onto his smartphone to interact with the hardware, and if the system detects a driver without the phone app, the hardware can sound an alarm and/or potentially not allow the car to start.
SaverOne has also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Iveco, the truck subsidiary of Italian-car manufacturer, Fiat, to work to integrate the system into Iveco trucks as an OEM product prior to the sale of the vehicle. This will mean that to use the system, all the truck owner will have to do is contact SaverOne to sign up and have the driver install the app.
SaverOne has developed a second technological solution based on its core IP: an RF ADAS Sensor. This solution successfully passed the proof-of-concept stage at the end of 2022, under a test with another major Western European car manufacturer, and the plan is to develop this as an additional OEM sensor product. It allows a car to detect and accurately locate other vulnerable road users (VRUs) in the vicinity and around the vehicle, via their RF footprint. This can be cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians crossing the road, a driver exiting a parked car, etc. This is particularly useful in non-line of sight situation, parked cars hiding pedestrians from view, etc, where the driver or on-vehicle cameras may not see this person. Today, there is no other ADAS sensor that can deal with these cases. This product is currently under development and we would expect an update from SaverOne in the coming year.
SaverOne’s Addressable Market
SaverOne is targeting all players in the automotive market. Their first product, the in-cabin distraction prevention system (or DDPS for short) is targeted at both car fleets as well as the car OEM manufacturers. The second product, the RF ADAS sensor is targeting only towards OEMs and tier-one suppliers to those OEMs.
SaverOne’s DDPS customers are typically fleet owners. Their vehicles tend to be larger, more expensive, typically carrying valuable cargo or customers. They have an interest in ensuring that their vehicles which are driven by alert drivers which do not become distracted as the potential cost of an accident – apart from cost to human life - can be economically significant to the fleet owners. The return of investment on by installing the SaverOne system across the fleet, that even prevents one accident that otherwise would have happened, can be very significant.
SaverOne’s potential market is the hundreds of thousands of corporate and public service fleets globally containing tens of millions vehicles. With the cost of the system at approximately $15 per month, the potential addressable market is in the billions of dollars yearly. SaverOne would only need capture a tiny portion of this to be a resounding success.
To date SaverOne has signed up, we would estimate, a few tens of fleet customers judging by the press release volume, with most of them in Israel but increasingly in Europe, the US and elsewhere in the world. Their largest customer to date was announced in March 2023 with Elektra Afikim, an Israeli public bus company, installing the system across their full fleet of 1,200 buses. As of the announcement of their mid-year 2023 results, on August 29, 2023, they had completed 3,000 system installations and in comparison as of March 31, 2023 they had completed 1750 installations, which means installations growing by 70% in 5 months.
SaverOne has been marketing and selling the systems using a ‘land and expand’ strategy. They typically try to win a small and limited trial of a few vehicles with a company operating a large fleet (the land part of the strategy). Initially, they target the small part of the fleet of the local subsidiary of a major global company with multiple fleets across multiple countries.
Assuming a successful trial the pilot trial expands to cover a larger portion of the local fleet, the next stage would be the whole fleet, and ultimately SaverOne aims to use their foothold in the company to expand to the company’s additional fleets in additional companies. A classic example of this is the company’s success with customer Cemex Israel, a part of the Cemex Group, a global leader in the building materials industry, Following an initial successful trial in mid-2022, Cemex Israel installed the SaverOne system on an additional portion of its fleet at the end of 2022. Then in mid 2023, Cemex Israel deployed the SaverOne System across its full fleet in Israel, and at the end of 2023, announced an initial pilot trial with Cemex in Spain.
As for the RF ADAS sensor, the addressable market in this case is the entire auto market and the fast developing autonomous vehicle market, which will use an array of sensors including the RF ADAS sensor for detecting vulnerable road users.
Regulation Moving Towards SaverOne
A potential accelerator and tailwind for future business for SaverOne is potential regulation, particularly in the EU. New EU regulation from November 2023, mandates that from mid-2024, new cars need to have a device for monitoring, identifying and warning on driver distraction. Phase-II of this regulation, expected by July 2027, is to include distraction avoidance by technical means, with systems such as that developed by SaverOne. This will provide the legislative support for SaverOne’s solution. Ultimately, the US Department of Transport will have to EU regulation as well.
Bottom Line
SaverOne is a technology startup that is publicly traded on Nasdaq under the ticker SVRE. Anyone can invest in this startup. It has a solution for lowering the risk of accidents due to distracted driving caused by cellphones. It already has had success in selling its solution, reporting $400k in revenue in the first half of 2023 – up 4X year-over-year and the company reported that revenue growth continues.
There are upcoming catalysts. They have a potential OEM deal with lead truck manufacturer Iveco expected to be signed in the coming weeks. 2023 full year results will also likely report continued growth. They continue to announce new customer wins and expansion of projects with existing customers. And finally EU regulation is moving in their favor, adding a further tail-wind.
It is difficult to value the business. The market has decided that given that they trade at a share price of around $0.60, the entire value of the company is around $4m. At this price, should they ultimately fail, the downside from $4m to zero is not particularly far. Should they ultimately succeed- and capture a small portion of what will ultimately be a multi-billion dollar yearly revenue market, the upside is many multiples of the current valuation. Thus we see the risk-reward ratio very heavily skewed to the upside.
Strong like bull, i like this one alot, i still want dollarland, fyi ANT
The final commercial agreement with IVECO is a life changing event for SaverOne. Keep in mind IVECO also signed a Side Letter to the original MOU with SaverOne, saying “The letter also provides IVECO with an exclusivity period of up to six months during which SaverOne agreed not to sell, develop or manufacture its OEM solution for SaverOne’s innovative in-cabin Driver Distraction Prevention Solution (DDPS) with any other truck manufacturer.”
Understand the power of the word “exclusivity” IVECO used. Their partnership of integrating SaverOne’s DDPS in IVECO’s hundreds of thousands of new cars/trucks is exclusively between the two parties for up to 6 months. SaverOne obviously has an upper hand in this deal with IVECO.

thx for all the dd, imo we are well positioned for the future here with svre, ANT
The due date for installing Driver Distraction Warning System on all new cars in Europe is April 2024. For large OEM car manufacturers like IVECO, they must get ready for such regulation change at least 6 months to 1 year ahead. It’s any day now their final agreement with SaverOne will be announced.
“At the same time, we continue to advance our ongoing collaboration with Iveco, developing our OEM DDPS solution that will be integrated within Iveco's vehicle manufacturing process. We hope to sign a final commercial agreement in the coming months."

Last year SaverOne presented its nine-month results and business updates on Wednesday, 12/21/2022. We should expect they will release another business update around 12/20 this week too. Get readay!
Buying more on Monday after extensive DD today. This is absolutely going to explode as soon as some big news drop on IVECO, Cemex etc. The commercial agreements will be worth tens of millions of dollars potentially based on what the company has disclosed since October. The news are very likely to drop this month, most likely before Christmas. That means probably this week!
In October, SaverOne CEO said:“This new collaboration also follows our recent strategic pilot project with Cemex in Spain, which has proceeded successfully. At the same time, we continue to advance our ongoing collaboration with IVECO, developing our OEM DDPS solution that will be integrated within IVECO’s vehicle manufacturing process. We hope to sign a final commercial agreement in the coming months.”

This is HUGE!! Read this directly from European Commision website: Road safety – advanced driver distraction warning systems. "Under the General Vehicle Safety Regulation, all new types of vehicles must be fitted with an advanced driver distraction warning system from mid-2024. The system monitors primarily driver eye movements and warns drivers when distracted. This will help reduce accidents on EU roads.
This initiative sets out the specific test procedures and technical requirements for the approval of vehicles fitted with this system."
WOW, "all new types of vehicles must be fitted with an advanced driver distraction warning system from mid-2024". That means all EU OEM car manufactures have to install "Dirver Distraction Warning System"!!!!!!!
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13740-Road-safety-advanced-driver-distraction-warning-systems_en
IVECO invests ONE BILLION euro to renew its entire range (also electric) ahead of a 2024, which will be marked by the entry into force of the "General Safety Regulation" in EU (see above).
This is an unbelievably HUGE regulation for SaverOne. EU requires all NEW cars to be installed with Driver Distraction Warning System in 2024.
Fabrizio Conicella, Head of Digital & Advanced Technologies, Iveco Group, added, "Our upcoming collaboration with SaverOne is a clear indication of our commitment to pioneering safety measures in the trucking industry. The integration of their innovative technology into our trucks is a further step in enhancing road safety by minimizing driver distraction. We believe that SaverOne's technology will complement our existing solutions such as the vocal driver assistant, safety driver index and collision reports."
To make this whole deal with IVECO even better, read this: IVECO invests ONE BILLION euros to renew its entire range (also electric) ahead of a 2024, which will be marked by the entry into force of the General Safety Regulation in EU. More specifically, IVECO's Safety System is one of the four major areas to be upgraded with ONE BILLION euros.
"Safety remains a priority as well. Various Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) – such as a blind spot warning information system, driver drowsiness attention warning and traffic jam assist – have been incorporated in the new range to enhance safety in and around the vehicle, extending beyond regulatory requirements, with protection for vulnerable road users."
Look what SaverOne's CEO said about their products for ADAS and protection for vulnerable road users. Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, commented,"We consider this a testament to IVECO's confidence in our cutting-edge DDPS technology and safety solution. In addition, we are exploring further opportunities with IVECO, such as including our VRUP (Vulnerable Road User Protection) solution, with the aim of creating a safer driving environment across broader vehicle types. We look forward to potentially launching our work with them later this year, leveraging our expertise and their strong competitive positioning to revolutionize safety standards in the trucking industry."
Their VRUP products aligns exactly well with IVECO's one billion dollar investment, including upgrading their current Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, for protection of Vulnerable Road Users.

When news drop that SaverOne DDPS is being installed on IVECO's new trucks, and with VRUP products, this agreement will generate revenue worth tens of millions of dollars, and even more. The news can drop any day in Decemember!!!
