NESS ZIONA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020. Foresight ended the fourth quarter of 2020 with $43.9 million in cash and short-term deposits.
Foresight reported a GAAP operating loss of $12.84 million for the full year 2020 which is an approximately 15% less than the GAAP operating loss of $15.03 million reported for the full year 2019. Foresight reported a GAAP net loss of $3.96 million and $15.32 million for the fourth quarter 2020 and the full year, respectively, and a non-GAAP net loss of $3.71 million for the fourth quarter and $14.16 million for the full year 2020.
We achieved important key milestones during the fourth quarter of 2020 and maintained solid progress throughout the year in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Haim Siboni, Foresights CEO. We are entering 2021 with a strong balance sheet, following successful capital raises including $26 million raised in our registered direct offering announced on December 28, 2020. We will continue to build on our innovative product portfolio, which has been validated through key prototype orders and partnerships in Europe, Asia and North America.
The successful year also extends to our subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile, and our affiliate, Rail Vision. Both companies achieved major business milestones during the fourth quarter of 2020, as Rail Vision received a second investment of $10 million from a leading Tier One European-based group, Knorr-Bremse, in October 2020, and Eye-Net Mobile signed a distribution agreement with Cornes Technologies, a leading Japanese trading house. We believe that Rail Vision and Eye-Net Mobile are poised for further growth in 2021, concluded Mr. Siboni.

Balance Sheet Highlights
Fourth Quarter Corporate Highlights:
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures of net loss for the period that excludes the effect of share-based compensation expenses, the revaluation of other investments and revaluation of derivative warrant liability, and non-GAAP financial measures of shareholders equity that excludes the effect of derivative warrant liability and the revaluation of other investments. The companys management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors understanding and assessment of the company's ongoing operations. Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.
