Innoviz Reports Second-Quarter 2023 Results and
Increases 2023 Financial Targets Following Continued
Commercial Momentum

SOP and expanded relationship with BMW Group combined with additional
year-to-date commercial momentum underlines the strength of Innoviz’s
LiDAR sensor and software platform

TEL AVIV, Israel, August 2, 2023 – Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: INVZ) (the “Company” or “Innoviz”), a leading Tier-1 direct supplier of high-performance, automotive grade LiDAR sensors and perception software, today provided commercial and strategic updates on its business, reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and raised 2023 financial targets.

Innoviz has achieved Start of Production (SOP) with its first generation BMW Group program. The first component shipments intended for production vehicles were shipped in July 2023 and are expected to be installed on BMW 7 Series vehicles available later this year or early 2024. Innoviz’s second SOP launch for 2023 with its shuttle program also continues to make progress, with production shipments planned for the coming months.

Additionally, Innoviz today announced an important expansion in its relationship with the BMW Group. Under a new development agreement, following BMW Group’s requirements, Innoviz will develop B-samples for an enhanced solution portfolio, including the InnovizTwo LiDAR, an all-new InnovizCore AI compute module, and a suite of advanced AI-powered software solutions, which is expected to include a LiDAR-based Minimum Risk Maneuver (MRM) system. The B-sample phase of the program is expected to enable the BMW Group to decide on a serial development agreement with Innoviz that is anticipated to focus on bringing a new array of advanced automated capabilities to a broader range of the BMW lineup. Innoviz is developing the solution as a Tier-1 supplier and is targeting late 2023 or early 2024.

“The opportunity for Innoviz to evolve to a Tier-1 supplier with another major OEM is an important development for Innoviz, and we are excited to move to the B-sample stage of the second generation LiDAR platform with the BMW Group,” said Omer Keilaf, Innoviz Co-Founder and CEO. “We are confident that we can bring a more powerful solution with an InnovizTwo-based platform, and we are thrilled to be working on an expanded software suite.”
 
Commercial and Strategic Updates
 
•
Series production unit shipments began in the third quarter of 2023 – The Company began shipping production units to the BMW Group’s first generation program in July 2023, and the Company’s second SOP with its shuttle program also continues to make progress, with production shipments planned for the coming months.
 
•
Strong progress with BMW Group on multiple fronts:
 

 o
Developing B-samples of new LiDAR platform for second generation BMW Group automated vehicles – With SOP of BMW’s first generation InnovizOne-based LiDAR platform underway, the Company is expanding its focus to an all-new second generation LiDAR platform for the BMW Group based on the InnovizTwo LiDAR. The new platform is targeting a more robust and higher value software suite and an expanded hardware lineup. Innoviz seeks to make the solution available to a broader range and higher volume of vehicles.


o
Additional models and variants for the first generation platform – The first generation InnovizOne LiDAR platform was qualified on several vehicle models and variants, in addition to the BMW 7 Series vehicles. Innoviz is currently working towards bringing the technology to additional vehicles and markets in the near-to-medium term.
 
•
Innoviz is growing its software offerings and moving up the stack:
 

 o
Began development of new Minimum Risk Maneuver system – Innoviz has begun the development of its new MRM offering in conjunction with the B-sample development program with the BMW Group.
 

 o
More robust and higher value software suite for BMW Group development phase program – In the second generation LiDAR program for the BMW Group built around InnovizTwo, the Company will develop a more robust and higher value perception software package that can unlock expanded features and more advanced algorithms. We believe this more powerful and expanded offering will be accretive to our total dollar content per vehicle.
 
•
New hardware component development can enable further software growth and expand Innoviz’s addressable content per vehicle:
 

 o
New InnovizCore AI Compute Module intended to become a platform for additional software growth – With the growing functionality of our software suite, Innoviz is developing a new compute module called InnovizCore. The product is designed to be a dedicated AI compute module, capable of hosting larger workloads. The increased compute power strengthens our newer software offerings and will serve as a base for future growth. Having a dedicated AI compute module with a direct connection to a vehicle’s operating system will provide Innoviz with a platform to potentially do much more on the software side, including integrating data from other sensors such as the radar or camera, and integrating over-the-air (OTA) updates.
 

 o
New Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) can improve localization and offer more data to fuel software growth – In another example of continued innovation and product development, Innoviz has begun work to add an IMU to its LiDAR. The IMU is an electronic device capable of measuring and reporting a vehicle’s acceleration, angular rate and orientation. The functionality enables specific localization of a vehicle and can help predict the future speed and trajectory of a vehicle. This data could add a new critical layer of information for Innoviz’s algorithms, including its advanced Neural Networks and other artificial intelligence based tools that Innoviz uses for software development.
 

 o
Upgraded version of custom ASIC unlocks increased functionality in InnovizTwo – Innoviz has completed the development and fabrication of the newest version of its custom ASIC. The upgraded chip unlocks higher performance, including potentially extending our LiDAR’s maximum detection range to over 450 meters and delivering a more detailed, higher resolution point cloud. The first sample units with the new chip are expected to ship to our light commercial vehicle program customer in the third or fourth quarter of 2023, and following automotive qualification of the component, should be approved for mass production by mid- to late-2024. The upgraded chip enables new levels of point accuracy and an increased total number of points in the point cloud, increasing the amount of data available to feed our AI and machine learning efforts. This can result in an even stronger software product suite capable of unlocking new features such as automated driving at higher speeds and in more complex environments.
 
•
Began shipping units to new light commercial vehicle program - Innoviz previously announced a new light commercial vehicle program customer in conjunction with the first quarter 2023 earnings announcement. Sample shipments to that customer began near the end of the second quarter and are expected to increase in the second half of 2023. The planned displacement of a development stage competitor is expected to start in the third quarter of 2023, and the program continues to track towards a mid-decade SOP.
 
•
Ongoing strength in the Company’s RFI/RFQ pipeline - The total number of programs in the Company’s RFI and RFQ pipeline remains at the high end of the previously disclosed range of 10-15 programs, with more than five of the programs in the more advanced RFQ stage.
 

 o
Currently working with 8 of the top 10 global automakers - When combined with Innoviz’s existing customers, the Company has existing awards or is in an active RFI or RFQ sourcing process with eight out of the top ten global automakers.


Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
 
Revenues in Q2 2023 were $1.5 million, up 45% compared to revenues of $1.0 million in Q1 2023 and down 18% compared to revenues of $1.8 million in Q2 2022.  The 45% quarter-over-quarter increase in revenues, was primarily driven by increased unit sales, which grew 47% sequentially. The year-over-year decline in revenues was driven primarily by the progress in the BMW program as it transitioned to volume production at Magna, the Tier-1 on the program. The transition includes a shift from selling full LiDAR units to selling components to Magna at lower production average sales prices.

Operating expenses in Q2 2023 were $30.4 million, an increase of 6% compared to operating expenses of $28.8 million in Q2 2022. Operating expenses for Q2 2023 included $5.0 million of share-based compensation compared to $4.4 million of share-based compensation in Q2 2022. The year-over-year increase in operating expense was driven primarily by higher research and development expenses, which increased to $23.8 million in Q2 2023 versus $21.9 million in Q2 2022 and was partially offset by lower sales and marketing expenses. The increase in research and development expenses was driven primarily by a year-over-year increase in headcount, leading to higher personnel expenses and share-based compensation, with Q2 2023 share-based compensation of $3.4 million compared to $2.7 million in Q2 2022.

Liquidity as of June 30, 2023 consisted of approximately $129.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, short term restricted cash and marketable securities.
 
Updating 2023 Financial Targets
 
The Company is providing the following updated financial outlook for full year 2023:
•
2023 revenues are now expected to be in the range of $15-20 million, up from the previously disclosed range of $12-15 million.
•
Total new NRE bookings are now expected to be in the range of $20-70 million, up from the previously disclosed range of $20-40 million.

Forward Looking Statements

This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the services offered by Innoviz, the anticipated technological capability of Innoviz’s products, the markets in which Innoviz operates, Innoviz’s projected future operational and financial results, including Cash Collection from Customers, revenue and non-recurring engineering (NRE) bookings. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. “Cash Collection from Customers” is cash received by the Company from revenues, advances and NRE bookings as described in the following sentence. “NRE (Non-recuring Engineering) bookings” is booked services that may be ordered from Innoviz usually as part of a program design win and includes, among other things, application engineering, product adaptation services, testing and validation services, standards and qualification work and change requests (usually during the lifetime of a program). The commitment for a certain NRE is usually provided around the design win and may be paid based on milestones over the development phase of the project which may take a few years.

Many factors could cause actual future events, and, in the case of our forward-looking revenue, Cash Collection from Customers, and NRE bookings, actual orders or actual payments, to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this announcement including but not limited to, the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, the ability to convert design wins into definitive orders and the magnitude of such orders, the possibility that NRE would be set off against liabilities and indemnities, the ability to identify and realize additional opportunities, and potential changes and developments in the highly competitive LiDAR technology and related industries. The foregoing list is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider such risk and the other risks and uncertainties described in Innoviz’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 9, 2023 and other documents filed by Innoviz from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Innoviz assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Innoviz gives no assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
