HOD HASHARON, Israel, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Valens Semiconductor Ltd. (NYSE: VLN), a leader in high-performance connectivity chipsets that enable reliable, long-reach video transmission across the world's most demanding applications, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
"We are pleased with our performance in the second quarter, where we exceeded our guidance and delivered revenue of $18.1 million," said Yoram Salinger, CEO of Valens Semiconductor. "This quarter demonstrates continued customer demand and highlights the strength of our execution across the business. Our Audio-Video segment remains the established foundation of the company, while our Automotive ADAS design win programs continue to advance toward production and long-term revenue generation. At the same time, our technology leadership, validated by strong customer adoption, is increasingly translating into tangible commercial opportunities, and positioning us for future growth. Together, these achievements contributed to our confidence in the continuation of this business traction and supported our decision to raise guidance for the year 2026."
Q2 2026 Business Highlights:
-- Barco selected HDBaseT chipsets to power its new ClickShare USB-C
Extension over CAT kit.
-- Participated at the InfoComm trade show, showcasing the VS3000 and the
VS6320 chipsets, expanding engagements, and generating new sales
opportunities.
-- Introduced a new reference design offering for USB3 and 4K video
extension tailored to the needs of our leading ODM customers, driving
millions of dollars in bookings.
-- Advanced all four Automotive design-win programs toward production, with
revenue expected to ramp up in 2027.
-- Welcoming Karine Pinto-Flomenboim as the new Chief Financial Officer,
effective August 9th, 2026, and Dean Martin as the new Head of Automotive
Business Unit, effective on September 1st, 2026.
Q2 2026 Financial Highlights:
-- Q2 2026 revenue reached $18.1 million, exceeding our guidance of
$17.2-$17.6 million, compared to $16.9 million in Q1 2026 and $17.1
million in Q2 2025.
-- Q2 2026 Cross-Industry Business ("CIB") revenue accounted for
approximately 70% of total revenue at $13.1 million compared to
$11.0 million in Q1 2026 and $12.8 million in Q2 2025.
-- Q2 2026 Automotive revenue accounted for approximately 30% of
total revenue at $5.0 million, compared to $5.9 million in Q1 2026
and $4.3 million in Q2 2025.
-- Q2 2026 GAAP gross margin was 61.5% (non-GAAP gross margin was 64.3%), in
line with our guidance. This is compared to a GAAP gross margin of 62.2%
for Q1 2026 and 63.5% for Q2 2025 (non-GAAP gross margin of 65.2% in Q1
2026 and 67.2% in Q2 2025). On a segment basis, Q2 gross margin from CIB
was 69.2% and gross margin from Automotive was 41.5%. This compares to a
Q1 2026 gross margin of 70.8% and 46.2%, respectively, and a Q2 2025
gross margin of 67.8% and 50.5%, respectively. The decrease in Q2
automotive gross margin compared to Q1 2026 was due to additional testing
facility expenses incurred to prioritize and support production
requirements.
-- Q2 2026 GAAP net loss amounted to $(8.1) million, compared to a net loss
of $(8.3) million in Q1 2026 and a net loss of $(7.2) million in Q2 2025.
-- Q2 2026 adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(4.2) million, lower than the
guidance range of a $(4.9)-$(4.4) million adjusted EBITDA loss. This
compares to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(5.5) million in Q1 2026 and an
adjusted EBITDA loss of $(4.0) million in Q2 2025.
-- Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of June 30, 2026, were
$83.4 million. This compares to cash, cash equivalents and short-term
deposits of $86.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and to cash, cash
equivalents and short-term deposits of $92.6 million as of December 31,
2025.
Financial Outlook for Q3 2026 and Raised Full-Year Guidance
For Q3 2026, Valens Semiconductor expects revenue to range between $21.3 million and $21.7 million, gross margin to range between 60.0% and 62.0%, and adjusted EBITDA loss to range between $(3.4) million and $(2.8) million.
Based on its strong first-half 2026 performance and improved visibility for the remainder of the year, Valens has raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to between $78.0 million and $81.0 million, an increase of approximately 13% (midpoint of the guidance) compared to the annual revenue of 2025.
Disclaimer: Valens Semiconductor does not provide GAAP net profit (loss) guidance as certain elements of net profit (loss), including share-based compensation expenses and warrant valuations, are not predictable due to the high variability and difficulty of making accurate forecasts. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See the tables below for additional information regarding this and other non-GAAP metrics used in this release.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(U.S. Dollars in thousands)
The following table provides a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted
EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net profit
(loss) before financial income (expense), net, income taxes, equity in
earnings of investee and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted
to exclude share-based compensation and change in fair value of earnout
liability, which may vary from period-to-period. We caution investors that
amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because
not all issuers calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Net loss or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative
to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Although we provide guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, we are not able to
provide guidance for projected Net profit (loss), the most directly
comparable GAAP measures. Certain elements of Net profit (loss), including
share-based compensation expenses and warrant valuations, are not
predictable due to the high variability and difficulty of making accurate
forecasts. As a result, it is impractical for us to provide guidance on
Net profit (loss) or to reconcile our Adjusted EBITDA guidance without
unreasonable efforts. Consequently, no disclosure of projected Net profit
(loss) is included. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the
probable significance of the unavailable information.
