Sarine sales decline, reports loss for the first nine months
Sarine Technologies reported a loss for the first nine months of 2025 as continued weakness in the natural-diamond manufacturing segment weighed on performance. Revenue fell 27% year on year to $22.3 million for the period ending September 30, reflecting broad demand softness across key markets.
The company posted a net loss of $500,000, which included a $100,000 loss tied to its investment in Kitov.ai during the third quarter. This compares with a $200,000 net loss in the same period of 2024, underscoring the deeper pressures facing the natural-diamond pipeline.
Sarine noted that manufacturers remain challenged by subdued global demand, driven primarily by the growing market share of lab-grown diamonds in the US and persistently weak luxury retail sales in China. Sentiment has been further dampened by uncertainty surrounding US import tariffs.
In August, the company completed the acquisition of a 33% stake in Kitov.ai, a provider of advanced inspection solutions for multiple industries. Sarine also extended a convertible loan to the firm, which could be converted into additional equity and raise Sarine’s ownership to as much as 51%, positioning the group for deeper technology integration and future growth opportunities.
