Valens Semiconductor Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

Key Financial Highlights:

• Q4 2025 revenues: $19.4 million, exceeding the top end of our guidance
• Q4 2025 gross margin: 60.5% GAAP; 63.9% non-GAAP, exceeding the top end of our guidance

HOD HASHARON, Israel, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Valens Semiconductor Ltd. (NYSE:VLN), a leader in high-performance connectivity, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"We are pleased to report a strong fourth quarter, well above our initial expectations, delivering revenues of $19.4 million, which brings us to $70.6 million yearly revenues in 2025," said Yoram Salinger, CEO of Valens Semiconductor. "Valens' fourth-quarter results mark our seventh consecutive quarter of revenue growth and a 22% growth year-over-year increase. While we expect to maintain growth in 2026, the pace and extent of that growth may be affected by macroeconomic conditions and the pace of adoption of new technologies, which could continue to reduce visibility and increase uncertainty."

"Valens has delivered some remarkable achievements over the years, both in the Audio-Video arena and in the Automotive market. Hence, my outlook for the company and my strategy for achieving our growth targets is to concentrate our resources on these core businesses. In these markets, Valens brings unmatched technology leadership and brand recognition, and our focus will continue to be on meaningful growth opportunities," Salinger concluded.

"Our yearly guidance reflects our expectation for continued growth, based on the visibility we have today, while acknowledging that macroeconomic uncertainty may impact the pace of our growth," said Guy Nathanzon, CFO of Valens Semiconductor. "Given the current environment and reduced visibility beyond the near term, we will provide single-year growth projections going forward. Further, at the beginning of 2026, we announced an operational efficiency plan, which is expected to save approximately $5 million annually in operating expenses."

• Q4 2025 GAAP gross margin was 60.5% (non-GAAP gross margin was 63.9%), above the guidance of 58%-60%.

The decrease in gross margin of the CIB compared to Q3 2025 was due to a change in product mix. The increase in Q4 2025 in automotive gross margin compared to Q3 2025 was due to cost optimization.

  • Automotive revenues accounted for 26.9% (equivalent to $19.0 million), compared to 37.3% (equivalent to $21.6 million) in 2024. The decrease was due to gradual price erosion and a reduction in the number of units sold to Mercedes Benz.

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 expense (income), 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 Forfeiture Shares and earnout liability, which may vary from period-to-period, and certain batch production incident expenses(income). 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.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(U.S. Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

The following tables provide a calculation of the GAAP Loss per share and reconciliation to Non-GAAP Loss per share.

¹ Working Capital is calculated as Total Current Assets, less Total Current Liabilities, as of the last day of the period.

² As of the last day of the period.

³ GAAP Gross Profit excluding share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses, divided by revenue. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses were $654 thousand and $681 thousand, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses were $2,570 thousand and $2,135 thousand, respectively.

⁴ Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net profit (loss) before financial expense (income), 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 Forfeiture Shares and earnout liability, which may vary from period-to-period, and certain batch production incident expenses (income). 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. Please refer to the appendix at the end of this press release for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure in accordance with GAAP.

⁵ See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

⁶ See note 5. 

⁷ The current liabilities as of December 31, 2025, include an amount of $2.0 million attributable to the earnout liability

⁸The company calculates its non-GAAP Loss per Share as GAAP Net Loss adjusted to exclude the following: Stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization, certain batch production incident expenses (income) and the change in fair value of Forfeiture Share and earnout liability, divided by the weighted average number of shares used in calculation of net loss per share.
