REDMOND, WA / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in MEMS-based solid-state automotive lidar and ADAS solutions, today announced its second quarter 2024 results.

Key Business Highlights for Q2 2024

  • Building momentum toward full year guidance with Q2 revenue from industrial customers.

  • Actively engaging with top-tier global automotive OEMs, with seven high-volume RFQs for passenger vehicles and custom development opportunities.

  • Pursuing multiple near-term revenue opportunities with industrial customers in heavy equipment vertical.

  • Extending financial runway and operational efficiencies, streamlining cash burn and leveraging near-term hardware and software sales to automotive and industrial customers.

"We are pleased with our continued engagement in RFQs with automotive OEMs and are also excited by the uptick in interest in pre-RFQ collaboration and development work. With project delays and other automotive industry headwinds, we have worked hard to position MicroVision to successfully withstand these challenges," said Sumit Sharma, MicroVision's Chief Executive Officer. "We've reduced operating expenses to extend our financial runway and are focused on near-term revenue opportunities in non-automotive markets."

"While automotive projects are taking longer to ramp up, we remain actively engaged with multiple global OEMs for near-term custom development projects involving passenger vehicles scheduled for launch later this decade," continued Sharma.

Key Financial Highlights for Q2 2024

  • Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $1.9 million, compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by hardware sales to a long-standing customer in the agricultural market.

  • Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $23.9 million, or $0.11 per share, which includes $3.4 million of non-cash, share-based compensation expense and $3.0 million of non-cash, asset impairment charge, compared to a net loss of $20.6 million, or $0.12 per share, which includes $3.9 million of non-cash, share-based compensation expense, for the second quarter of 2023.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was a $12.6 million loss, compared to a $15.3 million loss for the second quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP information

To supplement MicroVision's condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents investors with the non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted EBITDA" and "adjusted Gross Profit." Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income (loss) excluding the impact of the following: interest income and interest expense; income tax expense; depreciation and amortization; bargain purchase gain; share-based compensation; impairment charges; and restructuring costs. Adjusted Gross Profit is calculated as GAAP gross profit before share-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of revenue.

MicroVision believes that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Gross Profit provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends, provides consistency and comparability with MicroVision's past financial reports, and facilitates comparisons with other companies in the Company's industry, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Internally, management uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating performance because the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional useful measure of the Company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of the Company's core operating performance against prior periods and its business objectives. Externally, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Gross Profit are useful to investors in their assessment of MicroVision's operating performance and the valuation of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Gross Profit are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of MicroVision's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from its non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

The Company compensates for limitations of the adjusted EBITDA measure by prominently disclosing GAAP net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and providing investors with a reconciliation from GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA.

Similarly for adjusted Gross Profit, the Company compensates for limitations of the measure by prominently disclosing GAAP gross profit which is the difference between Revenue and Cost of revenue, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and providing investors with a reconciliation by backing out share-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of revenue.

Three Quarters of US Consumers Do Not Trust Existing Caller ID Information12.9.2024 09:00:00 CEST | Press release

MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / September 12, 2024 / Consumer trust in caller ID information is non-existent. That is the finding of recent consumer research from Numeracle™Inc. ("Numeracle"), the pioneer in Verified Identity and Entity Identity Management™ for communications. According to a study of 2,020 U.S. consumers entitled A New Era for Caller ID: Placing Trust at the Heart of the Conversation, more needs to be done to provide verified and trusted caller ID information when receiving calls from unknown numbers, with two-thirds (66%) admitting that more accurate information would encourage them to answer unrecognized incoming calls.
