NextVision Stabilized Systems released its unaudited third-quarter 2026 report on November 9, 2026, showing revenue of US$106.4 million, up 125% from a year earlier. Operating profit rose 133%, lifting operating margin to 61.8% from 58.8% in the second quarter. The Israeli maker of stabilized cameras for drones and other platforms also reported a sequential decline in order backlog as deliveries increased.

Net profit rose 113% to $60.1 million. The company attributed the sales increase to higher order volumes and more units sold, including deliveries under significant orders, and said manufacturing efficiencies and higher employee productivity supported profitability despite rising raw-material and component costs. Operating expenses represented 4.9% of quarterly revenue, down from 8.9% a year earlier, allowing the faster sales growth to lift operating margin.

Backlog Falls as Deliveries Increase

Order backlog stood at $209.3 million on November 8, 2026, up 69% from the corresponding disclosure a year earlier but down from $265.2 million at the August 9 second-quarter report. NextVision attributed the sequential decrease partly to higher delivery volumes and the timing of new orders, which it expects to receive over the coming weeks. The comparison shows higher deliveries converting existing orders into sales while reducing the remaining order book.

Quarterly operating cash flow was $53.3 million. Inventory reached $92.4 million on September 30, 2026, compared with $53.6 million on December 31, 2025. The board linked the build to procurement for the larger backlog and components it identified as being in shortage amid geopolitical tensions. The quarter therefore combined strong cash generation with a substantial commitment to component stocks.

European Production Begins as Capacity Expands

NextVision began establishing its European production line during the third quarter, and the line was operational and manufacturing cameras by the report date. A European subsidiary is being established to operate it. The company said the line is intended to serve customers preferring European manufacturing and expand regional business opportunities. Europe was its largest market in the first nine months of 2026.

Chairman Chen Golan said NextVision also plans to expand production to the United States as part of a broader manufacturing network intended to bring production closer to customers and address local-manufacturing requirements.

The November investor presentation describes planned capacity of more than 5,000 units per month by the end of 2026, against an approximate starting level of 1,500 units per month at the beginning of the year. That is a capacity plan, not completed output.

The results connect rapid sales growth with a parallel build-out of inventory and manufacturing capacity. The immediate operational question is whether expected new orders replenish the backlog as planned capacity is added, sustaining the delivery volumes that drove the quarter.
