Entering fast-growing, high-margin defense and security market; see strong momentum via engagements with Kela Technologies and a large holding group to be announced in the coming weeks
Multiple automotive programs with product launches in 2026 and beyond; announced new agreement with a leading AV company to evaluate the development of on-sensor LiDAR perception capabilities; signed LOI with LOXO
Launched InnovizTwo Ultra Long-Range with up to 1km sensing, driving new capabilities in applications across automotive and non-automotive end-markets
FY2026 outlook unchanged at $67–$73M; Q1 $7.1M, reflecting NRE milestone variability

TEL AVIV, Israel, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:INVZ) (the "Company" or "Innoviz"), a leading supplier of high performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms, today provided commercial and strategic updates on its business, reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and reiterated its financial and operational targets for 2026.

"In the early months of 2026, we announced our entry into the defense and homeland security market, reached critical technical milestones with our new products, made progress on existing programs, and continued to engage with automotive and non-automotive customers," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Founder of Innoviz, "Several NRE milestones were pushed out of the first quarter, in part due to customers' requests for additional content, resulting in lower than anticipated revenues. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our teams, we are already closing the gap, and our full-year outlook remains unchanged. Long-term, we are confident in our view that LiDAR is the most reliable method for digitizing the physical world, and is indispensable to the implementation of Physical AI. Over the past year, we've broadened our scope beyond the automotive industry and introduced our SMART products, which are now available for defense and security applications, in addition to traffic management, perimeter security, and robotics. We are seeing strong traction across these end-markets, which are fast-growing and high-margin, and yesterday, Kela, an Israeli defense company, announced its intent to field Innoviz LiDARs across their unified situational operations platform. We have also signed an agreement with a large holding group, which will offer Innoviz LiDARs in their defense and security solutions; we expect their announcement in the coming weeks. Our automotive programs with VW, Mobileye, and Daimler Truck are progressing well towards LiDAR product launches in 2026 and beyond to meet Start of Production (SOP) timelines. We recently announced an advanced development program with a leading autonomous driving technology partner to evaluate enhanced on-sensor perception software for the InnovizTwo LiDAR platform; additionally, we signed an LOI with LOXO to integrate InnovizTwo Long Range into LOXO's autonomous driving solution. The automotive ecosystem is exhibiting robust interest in both Level 3 and Level 4 automation, and we believe we can win upcoming RFQs with our suite of InnovizTwo LiDARs and our InnovizThree, whose small size, lower power consumption, and lower cost make it ideal for behind-the-windshield integration. To support our automotive and Physical AI customers, we recently launched the InnovizTwo Ultra Long-Range LiDAR, which enables up to 1km sensing and opens new capabilities across a variety of use cases. As we continue to ramp production at Fabrinet, we believe we are well-positioned to become a premier world-wide supplier of best-in-class LiDAR solutions for autonomous driving and broader sensing applications, enabling the rise of Physical AI."

"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 ability to achieve broader market adoption of Innoviz's products and solutions, the ability to maintain and scale initial deployments into long-term commercial relationships, the ability of preliminary arrangements, including evaluation engagements and letters of intent, to result in definitive supply, development, or commercial agreements on expected terms and volumes, 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 geopolitical developments in the Middle East including the evolving conflict in Israel on our ongoing operations. The foregoing list is not exhaustive.
