  • During Q1 2022, the Company has initiated four new pilots in three countries. Should these pilots materialize to roll-outs it will generate significant additional revenue over guidance number above.

Mr. Bentsur Joseph, CEO of A2Z Smart Technologies Corp., commented on the results "We are delighted with the way we have started 2022. The acquisition of Isramat was completed in late January and the integration into the A2Z group is proceeding smoothly. The increased order from Yochananof, a leading Israeli supermarket chain, is a further validation of our lead product and testimony that it is working extremely well. The appetite and interest for the Smart Cart platform is exceeding our expectations and we are anticipating more pilots and higher order flow in the coming quarters. The increased revenue in the first quarter is already a evidence to this. Finally, our strong balance sheet and increased revenues will enable the Company to expand its operations in order to meet the anticipated increased orders."
