TEL AVIV, Israel, May 14, 2025 /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 quarter ended March 31, 2025 and reiterated its full year commercial and financial targets.
"I am very pleased with our strong start to 2025. Our record financial performance in the quarter, as well as recent developments in our customer and production partnerships, demonstrate that we are well on our way to meeting our full-year 2025 and long-term goals," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz. "Following Uber and VW's recent announcement around autonomous fleet deployments in 2026, Innoviz is accelerating deliveries of LiDAR units to VW in 2025 to equip hundreds of ID. Buzz AD shuttles with 9 InnovizTwo LiDARs each, ahead of project launches. Recently, we shared that we selected Fabrinet as our manufacturing partner for the InnovizTwo product platform. By working with Fabrinet, we will be able to cost-effectively scale the production of our LiDARs with a partner that has a global footprint and expertise in automotive-grade manufacturing. Additionally, last week we announced the expansion of our NRE payment plan with key customers to approximately $95 million from approximately $80 million. With our strengthened financial footing, optimized operations, newly added manufacturing capacity, and deep customer relationships, we believe that we are well-positioned to achieve our goal of becoming the world's premier large-scale supplier of best-in-class LiDAR solutions for autonomous driving and beyond."
Keilaf added, "During the quarter, we were pleased to see an acceleration of planned robotaxi launches around the world, with many models based on Innoviz technology. We have strong traction with new customers in both automotive and non-automotive applications, and we are particularly excited about growing momentum in our relationships with NVIDIA and Mobileye, the two leading autonomous driving platform providers. We are thrilled to be able to advance the future of automotive safety and autonomous driving as we pursue multiple opportunities using our differentiated LiDAR technology and expanding capacity."
Commercial and Strategic Updates
-- Delivering LiDAR Platform units to Volkswagen Autonomous Mobility --
expanded our collaboration with VW to accelerate the integration of
InnovizTwo LiDARs into the ID. Buzz AD, VW's L4 autonomous shuttle, in
support of planned market deployment in multiple European and US cities
beginning in 2026.
-- Partnered with Fabrinet to launch InnovizTwo Mass Production -- this
partnership will allow Innoviz to ramp its LiDARs to volume with a
manufacturing partner that has automotive-grade facilities around the
world, allowing for flexible and cost-effective production. We expect
that the ramp at Fabrinet will accelerate revenue generation from LiDAR
sales.
-- Further bolstered financial position by expanding NRE payment plan --
Innoviz announced that it has expanded the NRE payment plan with key
customers announced in December 2024 to approximately $95 million from
approximately $80 million; cash payments are expected between 2025 and
2027. These payments will be incremental to revenues generated from
ongoing sales of LiDAR products.
-- Developing opportunities with new OEMs -- we are in various stages of the
sourcing process with several OEMs; in particular, we see growing
momentum in our relationship with NVIDIA and its Hyperion platform, and
are making progress with a major OEM evaluating Hyperion for potential
integration.
-- Growing traction in non-automotive applications -- with its
automotive-grade LiDARs, Innoviz has an opportunity to generate
significant value for customers outside the automotive sector, and expand
its available market. We are shipping samples and launching a version of
our product specially tuned for this market.
-- Limited current impact from new US tariff regime -- Innoviz continues to
carefully monitor the ongoing and highly dynamic tariff situation in the
US. We believe we have the flexibility to adapt as needed given the
timing of our customer ramps and our manufacturing relationship with
Fabrinet.

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.
"NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering)" 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). NREs 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 revenues 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, potential changes and developments in the highly competitive LiDAR technology and related industries, and our expectations regarding the impact of the evolving conflict in Israel to our ongoing operations. 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 for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 12, 2025, and in 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. There can be no assurances that the Company will enter into definitive agreements, orders or receive payments with respect to the NRE payment plan referenced in this announcement. 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.
