A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (NASDAQ: AZ) has announced its second-quarter 2026 financial results, revealing a substantial increase in revenue and delivery volumes for its AI-powered Smart Carts. The company reported revenue of $5.9 million for the quarter, a significant jump from $1.2 million in the same period last year. This growth was fueled by a near doubling of Smart Cart deliveries, which reached 950 units in Q2, up from 500 units in the first quarter. The company’s Smart Cart revenue rose 80% sequentially to $4.41 million, and gross profit improved to $2.5 million from $0.3 million year-over-year, with gross margin expanding to 42.6% from 23.3%. Net loss narrowed to $7.3 million from $12.6 million in the prior year quarter.
As of June 30, A2Z had delivered a total of 3,350 Smart Carts. The company’s year-to-date performance, coupled with its backlog and visibility, supports its target of 10,000 deliveries by the end of 2026. A2Z projects $25 million in Smart Cart revenue for the second half of 2026, with a weighting toward the fourth quarter, as its dedicated manufacturing facility in China increases delivery capacity. To support this growth, the company has secured a $30 million credit line with Bank Leumi to finance inventory and expansion efforts. Additionally, A2Z is implementing cost-management initiatives expected to reduce annual operating expenses by approximately $7 million.
The company also announced that it expects its Smart Carts to be deployed with at least two retailers outside Israel within the next six months, marking a significant step in its international expansion. With 19,000 deliveries scheduled by the end of 2027 based on existing purchase orders and contracted backlog, A2Z is positioning itself as a key player in the retail technology space.
The implications of this announcement are substantial for the retail industry. A2Z’s Smart Cart platform transforms everyday shopping carts into AI-powered, connected commerce platforms that enhance the in-store experience. By providing real-time shopper engagement and actionable data, the platform helps retailers increase revenue, optimize store operations, and mitigate loss. This technology is particularly relevant as retailers seek innovative ways to compete with e-commerce and improve customer loyalty.
The company’s growth trajectory and strategic initiatives highlight the increasing adoption of smart retail solutions. As A2Z scales its manufacturing capacity and expands its international footprint, it is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of in-store retail. The company’s focus on delivering value to both retailers and consumers through targeted retail media and personalized shopping experiences underscores the potential impact of this technology on the industry.
