In these consolidated financial statements all references to “SuperCom,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” are to SuperCom Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise provides.
We are comprised of three main Strategic Business Units (SBU): e-Gov, IoT and Connectivity, and Cyber Security:
e-Gov
Through our proprietary e-Government platforms and innovative solutions for traditional and biometrics enrollment, personalization, issuance and border control services, we have helped governments and national agencies design and issue secured multi-identification, or Multi-ID, documents and robust digital identity solutions to their citizens, visitors and lands.
We have focused on expanding our activities in the traditional identification, or ID, and electronic identification, or e-Gov, market, including the design, development and marketing of identification technologies and solutions to governments in Europe, Asia, America and Africa using our e-Government platforms. Our activities include: (i) utilizing paper secured by different levels of security patterns (UV, holograms, etc.); and (ii) electronic identification secured by biometric data, principally in connection with the issuance of national Multi-ID documents (IDs, passports, driver’s licenses, vehicle permits, and visas, Secure Land Certificated) border control applications and Land Information System (LIS).
IoT and Connectivity
Our IoT products and solutions reliably identify, track and monitor people or objects in real time, enabling our customers to detect unauthorized movement of people, vehicles and other monitored objects. We provide all-in-one field proven IoT suite, accompanied with services specifically tailored to meet the requirements of an IoT solutions. Our proprietary IoT suite of hybrid hardware, connectivity and software components are the foundation of these solutions and services. Our IoT division has primarily focused on growing the following markets: (i) public safety; (ii) healthcare and homecare; (iii) Smart Cities; (iv) Smart Campus; and (iv) transportation.
During 2006, we identified the growing electronic tracking and monitoring vertical markets for public safety, real time healthcare and homecare, and transportation management. We have developed the PureRF Hybrid suite of wrist devices, connectivity, and controlling software, from 2012 we have developed the next generation IoT suite of devices, connectivity and Monitoring software; the PureSecurity Hybrid Suite of wrist band, tags, beacons, PureCom, Pure Monitors, PureTrack and other components.
On January 1, 2016, we acquired Leaders in Community Alternatives, Inc. (“ LCA”). LCA is a California based, private criminal justice organization, providing community-based services and electronic monitoring programs to government agencies in the U.S. for more than 25 years. LCA offers a broad range of competitive solutions for governmental institutions across the U.S. in addressing realignment strategies and plans.
In 2016, as part of our strategy to enhance and broaden our IoT connectivity products and solutions offerings for public safety, enterprises, hospitality and smart cities markets, on May 18, 2016, we acquired Alvarion Technologies Ltd., or Alvarion. Alvarion designs solutions for carrier wi-fi, enterprise connectivity, smart city, smart hospitality, connected campuses and connected events that are both complete and heterogeneous to ensure ease-of-use and optimize operational efficiency. Carriers, local governments and hospitality sectors worldwide deploy Alvarion’s intelligent wi-fi networks to enhance productivity and performance, as well as its legacy backhaul services and products.
Cyber Security
During 2015, we identified the cyber security market as a very fast-growing market where we believe that SuperCom has major advantages due to synergic technologies and a shared customer base to our e-Gov, IoT and connectivity SBUs. In 2015, we acquired Prevision Ltd., or Prevision, a company with a strong presence in the market and a broad range of competitive and well-known cyber security services. During the first quarter of 2016, we acquired Safend Ltd, or Safend, an international provider of cutting edge endpoint data protection guarding against corporate data loss and theft through content discovery and inspection, encryption methodologies, and comprehensive device and port control. Safend maps sensitive information and controls data flow through email, web, external devices and additional channels.
Both acquisitions significantly expanded the breadth of our cyber security capabilities globally, while providing us with outstanding market and technological experts and over 3,000 customers in the United States, Europe, and Asia, and more than three million software license seats deployed by multinational enterprises, government agencies and small to mid-size companies around the globe, together with leading data and cyber security platforms and technologies.
Effective August 22, 2024, we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. As a result of the Reverse Split, every 20 shares of our pre-split issued and outstanding ordinary shares automatically converted into one post-split ordinary share, NIS 50 par value per share (the “ordinary shares”), with a corresponding reduction of the number of ordinary shares that we are authorized to issue. As a result of the Reverse Split, all of our options, warrants and convertible securities outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split were adjusted by dividing the number of ordinary shares into which the options and warrants are exercisable and the convertible securities are convertible by 20 and multiplying the exercise price or the conversion price thereof by twenty, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such securities.
Accordingly, all ordinary share and per share data, par value and exercise price data for applicable ordinary share equivalents included in these interim consolidated financial statements of our Company and our subsidiaries as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 and in our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results Operations included in this Report on Form 6-K have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split, unless otherwise indicated.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
On September 6, 2018 and October 26, 2018, through a two-stage closing process, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility with affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC ("Fortress") with an aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000 (the "Credit Facility"). The Initial Term Loan which finalized on October 26, 2018 had an aggregate principal of $10,000, and the Incremental Term Loan provided for up to an additional $10,000 in principal through Incremental Draws of at least $1,000 each. In 2019, a total of $4,000 gross was drawn on the Incremental Term Loan, and some of the terms of the Credit Facility were amended to support the needs of the company. The Credit Facility bears interest on the borrowed balance at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin (the "Interest Margin") dependent on the EBITDA Leverage Ratio which is calculated and reset on a quarterly basis (8.0% for an EBITDA Leverage Ratio greater than or equal to 2.50x; 7.0% for an EBITDA Leverage Ratio less than 2.50x). At the Company's election, interest is paid in cash or in-kind in the amount of 4% per annum of the Interest Margin. The balance of interest is payable in cash monthly in arrears. For amounts which remain un-borrowed, the Company incurs interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum ("Unused Fee"). From closing and until today, the Company only paid monthly interest payments..
On January 22, 2025, the Company entered into a Waiver and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement with affiliates of the Company’s senior lender Fortress Investment Group LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, to amend the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, the parties agreed: (i) for $4,374 of the outstanding amount of the term loans made under the Credit Agreement to be exchanged into an aggregate of 100,000 of the Company’s ordinary at a price per share of $43.74, such that the outstanding amount was $14,000 after giving effect to the Amendment, and (ii) to extend the maturity date of the loans made by the senior lender to the Company to December 31, 2028 and to push back any Loan monthly interest and principal payments, such that they all shall be paid at maturity.
As of June 30, 2025 the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility was $14,437.
In 2021, the Company secured through the issuance of subordinated notes, gross proceeds of $12,000. For the consideration of $12,000 in gross proceeds, SuperCom issued to a certain institutional investor in February 2021 and June 2021, two-year unsecured, subordinated promissory notes in the amounts of $7,000 and $5,000, respectively, both with similar structures and terms. Given the subordination agreement between the senior secured loan investor, the subordinated debt investor and the Company, the subordinated investor may request that the balance of the subordinated debt be paid only after the senior secured Fortress debt is paid in full. The notes have a 5% annual coupon and a built-in increase to the balance of the notes by 5% every 6 months for the first 24 months, for any portion of the notes which has not been paid down prior to maturity. All principal and interest accrued is required to be paid in only one-bullet payment at maturity, and the company has the right to pre-pay any portion of either note at any time without a pre-payment penalty. The company has an option at its discretion only, at any time after 12 months to pay down all or a portion of either note using its ordinary shares, subject to certain conditions being met.
During 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company converted $3,374, $5,535, $500, $211 and $7,601, respectively, of the remaining principal and accrued interest of the Company’s outstanding subordinated notes into the Company’s ordinary shares.
As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding principal, including accrued interest, of these outstanding subordinated notes of the Company was $8,230.
The Company purchases certain services and products used by it to generate revenues in its projects and sales from several sole suppliers. Although there are only a limited number of manufacturers of those particular services and products, management believe that other suppliers could provide similar services and products on comparable terms without affecting operating results.
