Pomerantz Law Firm Takes Legal Action Against Alarum Technologies Due to Securities Violations

Overview of the Class Action Against Alarum Technologies Ltd.

Pomerantz LLP has recently announced a class action lawsuit against Alarum Technologies Ltd., a company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker ALAR, along with several of its officers. This legal action has been initiated in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, documented under case number 25-cv-01263.

Background of the Case

The class action is on behalf of all individuals and entities that purchased or acquired securities of Alarum from March 14, 2024, to August 26, 2024 (inclusive). The lawsuit aims to recover damages resulting from the defendants' alleged violations of federal securities laws. The complaint specifically pursues remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as Rule 10b-5.

Allegations Against Alarum

According to the complaint, Alarum misrepresented the stability and growth of its business, thus defrauding shareholders. Despite claiming to be a market leader and emphasizing its success in customer retention, the company's performance indicated otherwise. By June 2024, Alarum experienced a significant reduction in customer spending, reportedly leading to a 20% decrease in revenue from the previous month.

During this period, the company continuously assured investors of its strong performance, attributing its financial results to the dedication of its team and the robustness of its business model. However, as indicated by the lawsuit, Alarum's assertions regarding retention rates and growth prospects were misleading and does not reflect the reality of its diminishing customer engagement.

On August 26, 2024, the company disclosed disappointing second-quarter results and guidance for the third quarter of 2024, predicting revenues of only $7 million compared to analysts' expectations of $9.2 million. This revelation led to a sharp decline in the price of Alarum's American Depository Receipt (ADR), falling by $6.77 or 31.34%, ultimately closing at $14.83.

Customer Base and Business Model

Alarum Technologies operates on a consumption-based Software as a Service (SaaS) model, where revenues are generated based on the usage of their products. With a concentrated customer base, the company's financial success heavily relies on its ability to retain and expand customer engagements. Any fluctuation in spending from just a few of its clients can significantly impact the overall revenue.

Investors who acquired Alarum securities during the class period are encouraged to contact Pomerantz LLP to discuss their legal options. The firm has provided details for investors who wish to be appointed as Lead Plaintiffs by April 15, 2025.
