Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 11 | Customer expansion | Positive | +0.5% | Expanded multi-year engagement with a major European financial institution. |
| Dec 10 | Litigation settlement | Positive | -22.9% | Planned $11M class-action settlement mainly funded by insurance carriers. |
| Dec 10 | Strategic positioning | Positive | -22.9% | Outlined platform opportunity in compliance-driven finance and autonomous oversight. |
| Dec 09 | Product launch | Positive | -20.5% | Launched HUB Compliance™ with a multi-year deal in aerospace and defense. |
| Dec 08 | Product positioning | Positive | +1.0% | Described HUB Compliance™ benefits and highlighted a defense-aligned commercial win. |
Recent positive announcements often saw negative 24h reactions: out of 5 mainly positive news events, 3 were followed by double-digit percentage declines.
Over the last week, HUBC issued multiple updates on strategy, litigation cleanup, and product positioning. On Dec 8–9, 2025, it highlighted its HUB Compliance™ framework and a multi-year deal, yet shares fell 20.52% after the Dec 9 release. A planned class-action settlement on Dec 10 and an architecture-focused positioning update both preceded -22.91% moves. A European financial-institution engagement expansion on Dec 11 saw a modest 0.46% gain. Today’s H1 2025 results and balance-sheet progress follow this sequence of execution- and cleanup-focused news.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock dropped -14.2% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite operational progress would fit a pattern where recent positive updates, such as litigation cleanup and product launches, saw declines of 20%+ within 24 hours. The stock traded 96.96% below its 52-week high before these H1 results, with an equity deficit of $(59 million) still present despite balance-sheet improvements. This context suggests that, even with improved margins and liquidity, market focus has remained on structural risks and past dilution and liability overhang.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUB Cyber Security Ltd. (Nasdaq: HUBC) (“HUB” or the “Company”) today announced selected financial results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, and outlined the Company’s accelerated strategy to become the global trust infrastructure for identity, secure data, and regulated AI across industries and national ecosystems.
The Company will announce the timing of its business update call in due course.
The results reflect meaningful progress in strengthening the Company’s operating profile, improving margin structure, and advancing balance-sheet stabilization initiatives.
Financial and Operational Highlights
- Revenue of
$15.1 million for the first half of 2025. - Gross Margin surged to
23% , up from10% last year, following a structural shift that more than doubles HUB’s margin profile. This improvement reflects a deliberate transition towards higher-margin products, tighter operational discipline, and redesigned delivery economics that position the Company for scalable growth. - Total assets increased to
$73 million , reflecting the post-merger integration of Blackswan’s intellectual property and platform technologies. - Shareholders’ equity (deficit) improved from
$(81 million ) as of December 31, 2024, to$(59 million ) as of June 30, 2025, reflecting new equity issuances and liability reductions. - Post-period liquidity enhancement, including
$13.32 million in new cash proceeds. - Year-to-date, the Company has extended, settled, and/or extinguished
$22.85 million of legacy obligations, restructuring more than75% of its historical debt and materially reducing near-term repayment pressure, thereby enabling management to execute long-cycle, institutional-scale initiatives with improved financial visibility.
Strengthening Capital Structure and Liquidity
- Year-to-date, HUB executed a series of coordinated capital-structure and balance-sheet actions designed to reduce near-term obligations, extend maturities, and improve financial visibility.
- These actions included the restructuring and exchange of existing debt instruments, and the successful completion of multiple closings under the Company’s August 2025 financing framework.
- Partially repaid and/or restructured obligations with key counterparties, further improving liquidity and operational flexibility, whilst materially reducing legacy overhang and providing enhanced balance-sheet transparency.
Resolution of Legacy Matters
In November 2025, the Company reached settlement agreements resolving historical PIPE-related disputes originating from the Company’s 2023 business combination. The settlements were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors, remain subject to shareholder approval, and provide for mutual releases with practically no cash impact, eliminating significant legacy uncertainty and potential litigation exposure.

Management Commentary
“In the first half of the year, we rebuilt the Company’s foundation - expanding margins, strengthening liquidity, and removing legacy constraints. These improvements are structural and position HUB to operate with greater discipline, scale, and financial resiliency moving forward.
Our share price has been volatile, but markets often react to moments rather than the underlying trajectory. HUB’s value is driven by the architecture we are building, not by day-to-day fluctuations. The fundamentals are stronger today than at any point in recent years.
The digital economy is converging on trust as its core infrastructure layer. Identity, data security, and AI governance can no longer exist as disconnected systems. HUB is unifying them into a single trust architecture designed for institutional and national-scale operations.
As we move forward, we are advancing strategic steps that we believe will accelerate this mission significantly. We look forward to sharing more as such processes progress.”
