Innoviz: "Manufacturers have approached us to replace their LiDAR providers"
7 August, 2024
https://techtime.co.il/2024/08/07/innoviz-57/

Reported higher-than-expected sales of $6.7 million in the second quarter. Decline in operating expenses. New agreement with a company developing a Level 4 autonomous driving system

Innoviz has signed a strategic agreement with a company developing a Level 4 autonomous driving system. As part of the agreement, the same company will integrate Innoviz's LiDAR sensors for short and long ranges. This is what the company said in its release of second quarter 2024 results. The identity of the partner will be revealed in the coming months, but Inviz said the driving system has already been selected by a number of automakers. Innoviz's sensors are already part of Mobileye's Level 4 driving system, Chauffer, which was recently reported to be embedded in Volkswagen's ID Buuz electric minibus.

Innoviz chose to reveal another interesting detail: a number of automakers and suppliers of driving systems recently approached the company to explore the possibility that it would replace their existing LiDAR provider. Among them is a car manufacturer that is expected to launch a second generation Level 3 autonomous driving system, which is currently developing a Level 4 autonomous driving system for the world of trucks, and another platform manufacturer.

Innoviz today reported another interesting collaboration, this time outside the automotive market: a project with Indoor Labs, which was founded in 2015 and develops a LiDAR-based security and supervision system. The American company will integrate Inoviz's sensor into a platform designed for monitoring passersby at airports. The system is intended to be deployed at the international airports of Denver, Nashville and Tampa, and later at additional airports in the United States.

Demand for sensors in diverse ranges
Innoviz believes that adding short-range LiDAR sensors to the company's portfolio has opened up new opportunities for it and is now preparing the sensor for production. Of the 15 projects it is currently tackling (RFQ), five also require a short-range sensor. Co-founder and CEO Omer Kilef commented: "We now offer long- and short-range sensors in one package. This significantly increases the number of sensors per vehicle and enables us to meet the complex needs of customers."

On the financial level, Inoviz delivered improved results in the second quarter: revenue amounted to $6.7 million, above the company's forecast and more than quadrupled compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. Innoviz is also "burning cash" at a slower rate than before, reporting a 23% decline in operating expenses in the second quarter, compared to the same quarter last year. The company's coffers currently have about $104.6 million. However, the forecast for the next quarter was somewhat disappointing: sales of only $3.5-5 million.

August 06, 2024 9:00am EDT
https://ir.innoviz.tech/news-events/press-releases/detail/131/innoviz-technologies-lidars-to-be-deployed-across-major

The Indoor Lab will begin installations of InnovizTwo at some of the fastest growing airports in the US, including Denver International Airport, Tampa International Airport, and Nashville International Airport

TEL AVIV - Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:INVZ), a provider of LiDAR sensors and perception software, has been notified by Nasdaq that it no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement, the company disclosed on Friday. The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department's notice, dated July 30, 2024, states that Innoviz's shares have closed below $1.00 for 30 consecutive days, violating Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

The current status of Innoviz's shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, trading under the ticker "INVZ," remains unaffected by this notification. Nasdaq has granted the company a 180-day grace period, ending on January 27, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. Compliance can be achieved if the shares maintain a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least ten consecutive trading days within this period.

Innoviz may be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period to meet the requirement if it complies with other listing standards, subject to Nasdaq's discretion. The company plans to monitor its share price closely during the grace period and explore options to regain compliance.

Innoviz operates globally, supplying LiDAR technology to the automotive industry, and asserts its commitment to advancing safe autonomous driving. The company's technology is designed to surpass human vision capabilities and adhere to stringent industry standards for performance and safety.

In other recent news, Innoviz Technologies reported solid Q1 2024 earnings with revenues reaching $7.1 million, surpassing the projected range of $5 million to $6 million. The company also managed to decrease its cash burn compared to Q1 2023, ending the quarter with a robust cash position of approximately $128 million. Innoviz has made significant progress in its strategic realignment and collaboration with industry giants like Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p), Mobileye, and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA). However, Goldman Sachs has downgraded Innoviz's stock from Buy to Neutral and lowered the price target to $1.00 from the previous $2.25.
3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads.

This adjustment reflects Goldman Sachs' anticipation of a challenging environment for the lidar industry, which is expected to impact Innoviz's revenue and earnings per share (EPS) growth. The slower-than-anticipated adoption of higher levels of vehicle autonomy that incorporate lidar sensors and ongoing price declines for lidar sensors are cited as reasons for this outlook. Despite these challenges, Innoviz anticipates Q2 2024 revenues to be in the range of $4 million to $5 million, with the full-year revenue expected to be more robust in the latter half. The company has also set targets to secure two to three additional programs and $20 million to $17 million in new non-recurring engineering (NRE) bookings for 2024. These are recent developments in Innoviz's business operations.
InvestingPro Insights

Innoviz Technologies (NASDAQ:INVZ) is navigating a challenging period as it works to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. An in-depth analysis using InvestingPro data provides a clearer picture of the company's financial health and market performance.

InvestingPro data shows that Innoviz holds a market capitalization of $116.42 million as of Q1 2024, reflecting the scale of the company within the tech sector. Despite a significant revenue growth of 411.65% over the last twelve months, the company's gross profit margin stands at -33.35%, indicating that it is currently not generating profit on its sales. Additionally, the stock price has experienced a steep decline, currently trading near its 52-week low and having fallen by over 80% over the last year.

On a positive note, analysts have revised their earnings estimates upwards for the upcoming period, suggesting a potential improvement in Innoviz's financial outlook. However, it's important to note that the company is quickly burning through cash and analysts do not anticipate it will be profitable this year. Investors should keep an eye on these dynamics as they may influence the company's ability to meet Nasdaq's listing requirements and its overall financial stability.

Q1 2024 revenues of $7.1 million exceed previous guidance range of $5 -$6 million; reiterates full year 2024 operational targets

TEL AVIV, Israel, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2024, provided guidance for the second quarter and reiterated its full year commercial and financial targets.

"Innoviz is off to a terrific start this year. We achieved strong revenue growth, beating our expectations, once again expanded our relationships with key partners and customers, and continued to build our RFI and RFQ pipeline across multiple programs," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz. "With the BMW I7 launching in Germany, we believe we are the only pureplay LiDAR company to reach SOP with level 3, as there are vehicles currently on the road using our LiDARs and perception software. As part of expanding our relationships with our customers, we are collaborating with Volkswagen Group and Mobileye on an additional level 3 program. Overall, our pipeline is very active, with approximately half in the RFQ stage and more to come."

Keilaf added, "We remain very optimistic about the LiDAR sector as recent industry and regulatory activity reflects the continued adoption of LiDAR. We believe that as OEMs work to comply with new regulations, and as the automotive industry raises its standards, OEMs will move to implement new capabilities and features, many of which may be supported only by LiDAR. Looking ahead, we expect that Innoviz will have the runway necessary to cement our place as a leading LiDAR supplier during this important market capture phase."

Commercial and Strategic Updates

Continued supporting software development for InnovizOne deployment on BMW 5 Series in China – Innoviz is working closely with the BMW and Magna teams as they perform on-road testing and the Company is supporting software development specific to the Chinese market for a new deployment of the InnovizOne on BMW 5 Series vehicles in China.

Highlights
- Full year 2023 revenues of approximately $21M exceeded guidance with year-over-year growth of 246%
- Q4 2023 revenues of approximately $15M exceeded guidance with 328% growth quarter-over-quarter and 846% growth year-over-year
- Strong revenue growth coupled with disciplined cost management led to the lowest quarterly cash burn since becoming a public company, finishing the year with approximately $150 million in cash and equivalents

TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023, and set 2024 commercial and financial targets.

"I am pleased with our strong finish to 2023, delivering revenues that were above the high end of both our quarterly and annual guidance range," said Innoviz CEO, Omer Keilaf. "The combination of strong revenues and disciplined cost management led to an impressive cash performance with our quarterly cash burn at just $14.5 million, a record low since Innoviz became a public company. I believe this highlights the impact that growing revenues and cost discipline can have on our longer-term financial trajectory."

Keilaf added, "So far in 2024 we have shared exciting news on the customer front, unveiling our second Volkswagen program with the ID. Buzz at CES, and today's news that we are working on an additional InnovizOne deployment with BMW on the 5 Series in China. As we look to the rest of the year ahead, we continue to be very active with our RFI and RFQ pipeline and continue to believe that several additional customer wins are within reach. We continue to believe the LiDAR market will ultimately be a 'winner takes most' industry and that the next few customer decisions could provide us with continued momentum."

Commercial and Strategic Updates

BMW i7 with InnovizOne available for sale now with deliveries planned March 2024 – The BMW i7 with the InnovizOne powered Personal Pilot L3 package is currently available for sale in Germany with deliveries expected to begin in March 2024.

Developing InnovizOne for new vehicle and geography with BMW – Innoviz has begun supporting software development specific to the Chinese market for a new deployment of the InnovizOne on BMW 5 Series vehicles in China working towards a commercial launch at a future date.

Unveiled Volkswagen ID. Buzz light commercial vehicle program at CES – Innoviz unveiled the new ID. Buzz light commercial vehicle program at CES in January, marking the company's second program with the Volkswagen Group. Volumes from this program are incremental to the original series production award announced in 2022. The ID. Buzz is a light commercial vehicle aimed at the mobility market and will be a Level 4 program with multiple LiDAR per vehicle. A test fleet of vehicles is already on the road in Austin, Texas, and we expect the program will become increasingly visible as it progresses towards a planned 2026 commercial launch.

Collaborating with Mobileye on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz – Innoviz and Mobileye both displayed the new ID. Buzz light commercial vehicle program at CES, with both companies working together on the Level 4 technology. Innoviz is supplying the InnovizTwo long-range LiDAR, while Mobileye is working with Volkswagen as the autonomy platform partner, integrating the broader sensor suite and software stack. Innoviz views Mobileye as a strong partner and hopes to find additional opportunities to work with them on new platforms.

Working towards additional growth opportunities with Volkswagen Group – Innoviz continues to work to secure additional vehicles and platforms within the Volkswagen Group, in addition to its initial 2022 series production award and the recently announced ID. Buzz program.

Customer decisions expected for late 2023 continue to progress in 2024 – Several of the Company's RFQs that were in the later stages and were expected to be completed by the end of 2023 continue to make progress, despite decision timelines having been pushed into 2024.

Strategic realignment – In late January 2024, Innoviz announced a strategic realignment that refocused the cost structure of the InnovizOne program after its transition into series production. The Company also announced a concentration of future investments on the InnovizTwo sensor and software platform and used the realignment as an opportunity to integrate its hardware and software development units into a combined R&D department. These realignment actions are expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2024 and to reduce planned cash outlays by $22-24 million on an annualized basis.

New slim profile design for InnovizTwo – Innoviz unveiled a new, slimmer profile design for the InnovizTwo that can reduce the height of the sensor from 45mm to as small as 25mm. The new design was created for a pipeline customer and can be particularly useful for customers exploring behind the windshield and rooftop LiDAR deployments.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenues in Q4 2023 were $14.9 million, up 328% compared to revenues of $3.5 million in Q3 2023 and up 846% compared to revenues of $1.6 million in Q4 2022. The strong revenue growth came from a combination of NRE services, production units and sample shipments.

Operating expenses in Q4 2023 were $29.5 million, an increase of 6% compared to operating expenses of $27.8 million in Q3 2023, and a year-over-year decrease of 12% compared to $33.5 million in Q4 2022. Operating expenses for Q4 2023 included $5.5 million of share-based compensation compared to $5.3 million of share-based compensation in Q4 2022.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Revenues in 2023 were $20.9 million, up 246% compared to revenues of $6.0 million in 2022. The strong revenue growth resulted from a combination of NRE services, production units and sample shipments, and was partially offset by the transition from sample pricing to production pricing with the BMW program shifting into series production.

Operating expenses in 2023 were $121.0 million, a decline of 3% compared to operating expenses of $124.6 million in 2022. Operating expenses for 2023 included $20.7 million of share-based compensation compared to $19.3 million of share-based compensation in 2022.

Liquidity as of December 31, 2023 consisted of approximately $150.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, short term restricted cash and marketable securities. The combination of stronger revenues and disciplined cost management resulted in the lowest quarter-over-quarter cash burn in the Company's history as a public company at only $14.5 million (net cash used in operating activities and purchase of fixed assets).

2024 Financial and Operational Targets

The Company is establishing initial targets for Q1 2024 and FY 2024:

- Secure 2-3 additional customer programs in 2024
- Secure $20-70 million of new NRE bookings in 2024
- Q1 2024 revenues are expected to be in the range of $5-6 million (+395-494% YoY)

After initially guiding 2023 revenue targets too cautiously, Innoviz is shifting to quarterly revenue targets. There are many factors that can influence full year numbers that can be difficult to predict this early in the year, and the Company believes quarterly guidance will ultimately be a more prudent and accurate way to approach revenue targets at this point in the Company's growth curve.

Conference Call

Innoviz management will hold a web conference today, February 28, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (6:00 a.m. Pacific time) to discuss commercial and strategic updates, financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 and 2024 financial and operational targets. Innoviz CEO Omer Keilaf and CFO Eldar Cegla will host the call, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Investors are invited to attend by registering in advance here. All relevant information will be sent upon registration.

Summarizing the Ride of a Lifetime at CES 2024
January 24, 2024
David Oberman, VP Asia
https://innoviz.tech/blog/summarizing-the-ride-of-a-lifetime-at-ces-2024#top

Las Vegas city is surrounded by great views of the Nevadan desert, and is best known for its gambling, shows and nightclubs, but for one week every year in early January, everything revolves around the tens of thousands of visitors from all around the world, who come to witness the latest and greatest in technology. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is truly the mother of all technology exhibitions, and companies both large and small invest in a booth and parade their innovation and products.

This year, CES celebrated its 100th Anniversary. The walls of the long corridors showcased the many inventions which first appeared at this feted show. Walking along the halls is like reliving the advent of the many technologies that have appeared during our lifetimes and changed them irrevocably.

In recent years, automotive-related technologies have grown their presence greatly at CES. Colleagues and partners showcased impressive innovation in the West Hall of the LVCC Las Vegas Conference Center, and much of the North Hall too.

This year at CES, we were proud to be able to present at our booth, for the very first time, vehicles from our customers BMW and Volkswagen: The BMW i7 series, which can be pre-ordered already, and will be delivered to the first customers in Germany in March this year, took pride of place at our stand. The BMWi7 will be driving autonomously on the highways of Germany, the first car from BMW to have “Level 3” autonomous function, enabled by the LiDAR developed by Innoviz’s incredible team of engineers. The BMW cars use Innoviz’s first automotive-grade LiDAR, InnovizOne. The next BMW model to appear with our LiDAR will be the BMW i5 which will be released in China in a few months from now.

Alongside the BMW was Volkswagen’s ID. Buzz. This 7-seater Long-range Electric MPV has on its roof 3 units of InnovizTwo, our latest automotive-grade LiDAR, selected by the Volkswagen Group in 2022 for their cars. Innoviz is the Tier 1 provider of LiDAR for these vehicles, and is working closely with Cariad, the VW Group’s Software company, to integrate Innoviz’s LiDAR solutions into other vehicles in the VW Group.

At our booth we also showed live demos of our latest products, and passersby enjoyed posing for the LiDAR and getting 3D magnets of themselves. Visitors were also impressed by BMW’s videos and videos created by our many partners showing their use-cases with our LiDAR and their software.

Throughout the 4-day show, the Innoviz team met with our existing OEM customers and with many potential new customers, who are preparing to issue RFIs (Requests for Information) for LiDARs for their vehicles. Meetings were also held with leading robotaxi and shuttle companies, autonomous driving platform developers, mapping companies, distributors and industrial customers, analysts and media, as well as other partners from the automated and autonomous driving sector. Despite over 60 meetings set up in advance, the impromptu meetings with many potential customers and partners who passed by our booth and were impressed with what they saw were no less an achievement.

But CES isn’t all work. It would not have been the same without our traditional “SUSHI NIGHT”. It was extremely satisfying to have all 19 members of our team gather and celebrate a very successful show. See you next year!

BEIJING, Dec 14 (Reuters) - BMW Group (BMWG.DE) has received a test license for level 3 autonomous driving on high-speed roads in Shanghai, the German automaker said on Thursday, a move closer to allowing driverless cars in the world's largest auto market.

BMW will launch products equipped with L3 self-driving functionality when they can do so in accordance with Chinese laws and regulations, it said in a statement.

The new license would expand areas for BMW to carry out tests of advanced autonomous driving technologies in Shanghai. BMW obtained a license in 2018 that allowed it to run tests on 5.6 km (3.5 miles) of public roads in the city.

China has been making policies to accelerate the mass adoption of autonomous driving technologies. Earlier in December, China also issued safety guidelines for the use of autonomous vehicles in public transport.

Tesla recalls nearly all 2 million of its vehicles on US roads

https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/13/tech/tesla-recall-autopilot/index.html

Tesla is recalling nearly all 2 million of its cars on US roads to limit the use of its Autopilot feature following a two-year probe by US safety regulators of roughly 1,000 crashes in which the feature was engaged.

The limitations on Autopilot serve as a blow to Tesla’s efforts to market its vehicles to buyers willing to pay extra to have their cars do the driving for them.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the Autopilot system can give drivers a false sense of security and be easily misused in certain dangerous situations when a Tesla’s technology may be unable to safely navigate the road. The over-the-air software update will give Tesla drivers more warnings when they are not paying attention to the road while the Autopilot’s “Autosteer” function is turned on. Those notifications will remind drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and pay attention to the road, according to a statement from NHTSA.

11% above my post. Not much, relative to the breath of runners. And you would likely wouldn't hit the pinnacle. So, what are we talking, 7 or 8%.
