"The second quarter was a continuation of our strong start to the year as we again delivered revenues above the high end of our guidance range while maintaining cost discipline and efficiency in our operations," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz. "We are excited to share that today we reached a pivotal agreement with a major platform provider to supply InnovizTwo short- and long-range LiDARs to their Level 4 autonomous platform, which was already selected by several OEM programs. Additionally, we recently announced an agreement to supply InnovizTwo LiDARs to The Indoor Lab's airport portfolio. We are now offering both short- and long-range solutions as a bundle, which substantially increases the number of LiDARs we can offer per vehicle and allows us to better meet customers' complex needs. We believe that along with our upgraded AI Perception Software this differentiates Innoviz and positions us well to realize our vision of becoming the leading Tier-1 LiDAR supplier."

Keilaf added, "We continued to expand and mature our pipeline of RFIs and RFQs, having spent significant time with our customers around the world. We remain encouraged by the customer activity we are seeing, looking towards the second half of the year we are confident in our ability to continue adding additional programs with both new and existing customers."

Commercial and Strategic Updates

  • Reached an important agreement with a major platform partner – Innoviz announces it reached an important agreement today with a major platform partner to supply a bundle of InnovizTwo short- and long-range LiDARs to their Level 4 autonomous platform, which was already selected by several OEM programs. The Company expects the high quantity of LiDARs per vehicle across multiple programs to lead to significant volume generation more quickly.

 

  • Added short-range LiDAR offering, unlocking additional pipeline opportunities – Leveraging the maturity of the InnovizTwo platform, the Company now offers both short- and long-range LiDAR to customers. The addition of the short-range LiDAR has unlocked several opportunities, which Innoviz is working to advance. The Company is now maturing its short-range LiDAR to be ready for production.

 

  • Continued to mature InnovizTwo B Sample with new compact configuration – The Company introduced a more compact configuration of the InnovizTwo B Sample that meets all automotive requirements. Production process updates supporting the new configuration are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.  

 

  • Advanced AI Perception Software was upgraded for compatibility with InnovizTwo LiDAR – With InnovizOne in production with the Advanced AI Perception Software, Innoviz upgraded the AI software to be compatible with InnovizTwo LiDARs. The Company demonstrated the hardware and software combination to U.S. customers during the second quarter and two top 10 OEMs have indicated interest in Innoviz's Advanced AI Perception Software bundled with Innoviz LiDARs.

 

  • Announced new program with The Indoor Lab LLC to supply InnovizTwo to customer's airport portfolio – The Company announced an agreement to supply InnovizTwo LiDARs for use in the Denver, Nashville and Tampa international airports, with more airports expected to be added to the program.

 

  • Increased number of programs and matured robust pipeline of RFIs and RFQs – Driven by the increase in short-range customer activity, Innoviz ended the quarter with more than 15 programs in its pipeline, all of which require long-range LiDAR and five of which also require short-range LiDAR.

 

  • Engaged in various stages of conversations with several potential customers to replace their current LiDAR providers – As part of the pipeline, Innoviz has been approached by several potential customers seeking to replace their current LiDAR solutions, including one customer that began working with the Company on an RFQ for their second-generation Level 3 platform in the second quarter of 2024, a Level 4 platform company in the trucking space and an additional platform player.

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.

"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 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, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 12, 2024 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.
