AEye and MoveAWheeL Sign MOU to Explore Automotive Safety Solution Combining Long-Range Lidar with Real-Time Road-Surface Friction SensingMay 19, 2026 5:45 PM
Business Wire Collaboration pairs Apollo's™ one-kilometer detection range with MoveAWheeL's road-surface prediction technology to enhance ADAS and autonomous driving in adverse conditions AEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIDR), a global leader in software-defined, high-performance lidar solutions, and MoveAWheeL, a developer of acoustic-based Physical AI road-surface sensing, today announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the integration of AEye’s Apollo™ long-range lidar sensor with MoveAWheeL’s tactile intelligence technology for next-generation automotive safety and autonomous driving applications. The collaboration will focus on enhancing Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving capabilities by enabling vehicles not only to detect and interpret objects ahead, but also to better understand real-time road conditions that may impact braking, steering, and vehicle control. The companies intend to evaluate how Apollo’s™ long-range 3D perception can pair with MoveAWheeL’s friction-coefficient prediction technology to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the driving environment, particularly in challenging conditions such as rain, snow, and black ice. Apollo™ is a software-defined 1550-nanometer lidar sensor capable of detecting objects at distances of up to one kilometer in a compact form factor designed for behind-the-windshield automotive integration. MoveAWheeL’s road-surface prediction sensor uses active acoustic sensing to estimate friction coefficients of road surfaces, generating predictive inputs that can help inform acceleration, braking, and stability-control decisions. Together, the technologies are intended to help expand the operational capabilities of ADAS and autonomous driving systems across a broader range of real-world and adverse-weather driving conditions. Under the MOU, the companies plan to define technical evaluation activities, identify target automotive customer engagements, and explore go-to-market opportunities in select geographies. The MOU is non-binding and is intended to guide these exploratory workstreams, with the terms of any resulting commercial relationship to be set forth in a separate definitive agreement. “Physical AI depends on giving machines the ability to accurately perceive and understand the real world,” said Matt Fisch, Chairman and CEO of AEye. “Apollo™ was designed to deliver long-range, real-time 3D perception that helps systems see farther and react earlier in complex environments. By exploring the integration of Apollo™ with MoveAWheeL’s road-surface intelligence, we have the opportunity to create an even deeper understanding of the driving environment, particularly in the adverse conditions where advanced safety systems are needed most.” "While Lidar provides the 'eyes' for a vehicle to see obstacles, MoveAWheeL provides the 'tactile sense' to feel the road. By integrating our Physical AI with AEye's long-range perception, we are creating a complete safety stack that remains robust even in the most treacherous weather conditions," said Dr. Min-Hyun Kim, Founder and CEO of MoveAWheeL. About AEye, Inc.

AEye Reports First Quarter 2026 Results; Commercial Pipeline Reaches Record LevelsMay 13, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire Revenue Up ~60% Year-Over-Year; Active Customer Count Grows to 21; Active Quotes and Engagements Both Up Nearly 40%; 2026 Cash Burn Guidance Reaffirmed AEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIDR), a global leader in software-defined, high-performance lidar solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Business Highlights Record Commercial Engagement: Commercial activity has reached its highest level in the Company’s history, with AEye now having 21 customers that have taken revenue-generating shipments – a 31% increase since the Company reported Q4 results in March 2026. Quarter over quarter, quotes and engagements both increased by nearly 40%. Defense Vertical Expansion: SynTech, a global defense systems company with ties to leading defense primes, is actively promoting Apollo™ to its customers, with initial shipments already underway. This partnership may unlock opportunities in international defense and aviation, potentially expanding AEye’s addressable market. Automotive & OEM Momentum: Multiple new RFIs were received in Q1 across both the passenger and commercial vehicle segments, and OEMs have begun to reengage as L3 and L4 roadmaps are being reactivated. Trucking Evaluations: Multiple autonomous trucking company programs are underway and Apollo™ sensors are actively being shipped for evaluation, deepening the Company’s position in commercial vehicle autonomy. ITS: OPTIS™ is live at an active California intersection, in partnership with Flasheye and Blue-Band. APAC Progress: Commercial discussions with customers in Australia, Korea, and China are advancing. NVIDIA Ecosystem: In March 2026, AEye joined the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, the world’s first ANAB-accredited AI systems inspection lab. Apollo™ is validated on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin™ and has been demonstrated on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor™. Tier 1 Manufacturing Partnership: AEye’s manufacturing partnership with LITEON creates an industry-leading, globally diversified supply chain derived from off-the-shelf components, positioned to navigate geopolitical risk and shifting trade policies. Management Commentary “Q1 execution was steady and on plan -- the commercial pipeline continued to build, our partnerships advanced, and we now have more active proofs of concept (“POC”) and commercial engagements than at any point in our history,” said Matt Fisch, CEO of AEye. “New technical engagements, inbound RFIs, and POC activity across automotive, trucking, defense, rail, and ITS are all moving in the right direction. Revenue is up nearly 60% year-over-year, a reflection of the strong pipeline we are building. Physical AI appears to be a large and accelerating market -- Barclays projects that the market opportunity could reach one trillion dollars by 2035 -- and AEye’s software-defined architecture positions us as a core enabling layer of that ecosystem. The lidar sector’s consolidation has only strengthened our relative position: we are now better capitalized, leaner in structure, and creating a more diversified pipeline.” Fisch continued, “Apollo™ offers best-in-class detection range when operating behind a windshield, which is a decisive differentiator as OEMs reengage and L3 and L4 programs begin to expand. The partnerships we have built -- from NVIDIA to LITEON to SynTech -- are converting engagements into deployments, and the focus for the remainder of 2026 is unchanged: advance those deployments and build a durable revenue ramp.” Financial Highlights Q1 2026 revenue was approximately $101,000, up approximately 60% compared to $64,000 in Q1 2025, and roughly flat sequentially. GAAP net loss in Q1 2026 was $(8.3) million, or $(0.18) per share. Non-GAAP net loss in Q1 2026 was $(6.7) million, or $(0.15) per share. Cash burn in Q1 2026 was $9.2 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $77.2 million as of March 31, 2026. “Our commercial momentum continued to build throughout the quarter,” said Conor Tierney, CFO of AEye. “Our pipeline metrics strengthened across the board, customer additions spanned every major vertical, and we are seeing a growing pattern of repeat business -- a direct signal of product-market fit. Our virtually debt-free capital structure and capital-light model keep our cash burn among the lowest in the sector, while our balance sheet provides the runway to execute multi-year commercial programs.” 2026 Cash Burn Outlook The Company reaffirms its expectation that cash burn for the full year 2026 will be in the range of $30 million to $35 million, inclusive of approximately $5 million in working capital. The Company's cash balance provides operational runway well into 2028. Conference Call and Webcast Details AEye management will webcast its investor conference call today, May 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) to discuss these results. AEye CEO Matt Fisch and CFO Conor Tierney will host the call, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Forward-looking statements in this press release include, without limitation, statements about AEye joining the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab and the validation of AEye’s products as a result, among others. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are very difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from the assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of AEye. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) the risks that AEye’s tenure in the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab may be shorter than anticipated; (ii) the risks that AEye’s products may not be validated for interoperability, safety processes, or system-level integration with NVIDIA DRIVE platforms to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (iii) the risks that successful validation of AEye’s products may not help AEye’s customers accelerate the deployment of advanced driver assistance and autonomous systems to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (iv) the risks that lidar adoption may occur slower than anticipated or fail to occur at all; (v) the risks that AEye’s products may not meet the diverse range of performance and functional requirements of target markets and customers; (vi) the risks that AEye’s products may not function as anticipated by AEye, or by target markets and customers; (vii) the risks that AEye may not be in a position to adequately or timely address either the near or long-term opportunities that may or may not exist in the evolving autonomous transportation industry; (viii) the risks that laws and regulations are adopted impacting the use of lidar that AEye is unable to comply with, in whole or in part; (ix) the risks associated with changes in competitive and regulated industries in which AEye operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, and changes in laws and regulations affecting AEye’s business; (x) the risks that AEye is unable to adequately implement its business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; and (xi) the risks of economic downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive and evolving industry in which AEye operates. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by current or future global conflicts and current and potential trade restrictions, trade tensions, and tariffs, all of which continue to cause economic uncertainty. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the periodic report that AEye has most recently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and other documents filed by us or that will be filed by us 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. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements; AEye 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. AEye gives no assurance that AEye will achieve any of its expectations.

AEye Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results; Strengthened Foundation for Commercial GrowthMarch 16, 2026 4:35 PM
Business Wire
Revenue Doubled in Q4 over Q3; 40% Commercial Pipeline Expansion; 33% Increase in Customer Count
Joining NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab; Demonstrated Apollo™ Lidar with NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor™
Operational Runway Into 2028
AEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIDR) (the “Company”), a global leader in software-defined, high-performance lidar solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
Business Highlights
NVIDIA Ecosystem Maturity: Joining NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab to bolster automotive product readiness and demonstrated Apollo™ lidar with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor™ platform, the future centralized brain of NVIDIA-equipped autonomous vehicles.
Commercial Inflection: AEye increased its commercial momentum, with 16 active customers that have taken revenue-generating shipments -- a 33% increase since the Company reported Q3 results in November 2025.
Aerospace & Defense Traction: Repeat business with an existing customer, multiple new requests for quotations (“RFQs”), and a new distribution partnership that expands AEye’s reach in this sector.
ITS & APAC Expansion: Completed a successful proof of concept (“POC”) in Australia that has progressed into the next phase of commercial discussions, while formalizing multiple intersection deployments across the U.S.; also signed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with a regional partner focused on unlocking opportunities in Korea and the broader APAC region.
Partner Ecosystem: The Company expanded its OPTIS™ ecosystem, turning technological opportunities into actionable revenue pipelines through strategic partnerships, most recently adding Vueron for dynamic perception required by moving vehicles such as rail and trucks -- complementing existing partners Flasheye, Blue-Band, and Black Sesame Technologies.
Technological Leadership: At CES 2026, introduced STRATOS™, a third-generation sensor featuring a 1.5-kilometer detection range and resolution greater than twice that of AEye’s flagship Apollo™ sensor, packaged in a smartphone-sized form factor which, like Apollo™, can fit behind a windshield.
Management Commentary
“Throughout 2025 we made consistent progress towards industrial scaling and active commercial execution,” said Matt Fisch, CEO of AEye. “We are now shipping products to global defense leaders, securing significant opportunities in high-speed rail, and strengthening our commercial pipeline across automotive, including commercial vehicles, smart infrastructure, mobility, and intelligent transportation systems. We believe our technology and product capabilities provide AEye with unique optionality, as we can offer best-in-industry long-range performance while also addressing the passenger vehicle market by meeting highway-speed requirements through the windshield. At the same time, we expect our capital-light manufacturing approach paired with our software-defined architecture will prove to offer the most viable path to sustainable commercialization.”
Fisch continued, “We ended 2025 with consistent momentum in our technology development, strong partnerships, and a commercial pipeline that is converting at an accelerated pace. With the launch of STRATOS™, our 1.5-kilometer ultra-long-range sensor, and our demonstrations on next-generation platforms like NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor™, we are delivering on our vision for the future of physical AI, which is estimated to represent a $5 billion market today and, according to a recent analysis by Barclays, a potential trillion-dollar opportunity by 2035. Moving into 2026, we are beginning to accelerate execution on our growth strategy, as we expect our technology lead will continue to translate into firm volume commitments and a durable revenue ramp.”
Financial Highlights
Q4 2025 revenue was approximately $100,000, a 94% quarterly sequential increase. Full-year 2025 revenue totaled approximately $230,000, up 15% year over year.
Cash burn excluding net financing proceeds in Q4 2025 was $7.5 million, and the cash burn for the 2025 full year period was $29.0 million.
GAAP net loss for Q4 2025 was $(7.3) million, or $(0.17) per share. GAAP net loss for the 2025 full year period was $(34.0) million, or $(1.47) per share.
Non-GAAP net loss for Q4 2025 was $(6.8) million, or $(0.15) per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the 2025 full year period was $(24.4) million, or $(1.05) per share.
Ended 2025 with $86.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, providing operational runway into 2028, based on our 2026 cash burn outlook and assuming comparable cash burn in subsequent years.
“We have an attractive level of resources that positions us to execute on the multi-year production cycles demanded by leading automotive OEMs and high-performance industrial partners,” said Conor Tierney, CFO of AEye. “Today, AEye stands as a resilient leader in a lidar industry that is undergoing intense consolidation. Our capital-light model is a key point of differentiation in the industry, as it optimizes our available capital while still providing us with significant unit production capabilities to meet an uptick in expected demand later this year.”
2026 Cash Burn Outlook
The Company expects its cash burn rate for the 2026 full year period to be in a range of $30 million to $35 million, inclusive of approximately $5 million in working capital.
Conference Call and Webcast Details
AEye management will webcast its investor conference call today, March 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) to discuss these results. AEye CEO Matt Fisch and CFO Conor Tierney will host the call, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP measures provided in this press release should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. AEye considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide additional insight into the Company’s on-going performance. The Company provides this information to help investors evaluate the results of the Company’s on-going operations and to enable more meaningful and consistent period-to-period comparisons. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only as supplemental information to understand the Company’s operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including:
Non-GAAP net loss which is defined as GAAP net loss plus stock-based compensation, plus stock issuance and debt issuance costs, less change in fair value of convertible note and warrant liabilities, plus expenses related to contested proxy, plus loss (gain) on termination of operating lease, net; and
Adjusted EBITDA, defined as non-GAAP net loss plus depreciation and amortization expense, less interest income and other, less interest expense and other, plus provision (benefit) for income tax.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are sometimes accompanied by words such as “believe,” “continue,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “predict,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends, or that are not statements of historical matters. 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. Forward looking statements included in this press release include, without limitation, statements about AEye’s operational runway into 2028, the translation of commercial momentum into revenue, and the benefits and advantages of AEye’s products and technologies, among others. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are very difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from the assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of AEye. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) the risks that AEye’s operational runway may not extend into 2028 due to unforeseen expenses or otherwise; (ii) the risks that AEye’s tenure in the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab may be shorter than anticipated and not bolster automotive product readiness to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (iii) the risks that existing customers may not continue to make repeat purchases nor may new RFQs, completed POCs, nor signed LOIs result in revenue to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (iv) the risks that the opportunities that may be created through strategic partnerships may not result in actionable revenue pipelines to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (v) the risks that AEye’s technology and product capabilities may not provide AEye with unique optionality to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (vi) the risks that AEye’s capital-light manufacturing approach and software-defined architecture may not result in sustainable commercialization to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (vii) the risks that AEye’s commercial pipeline may not covert at an accelerated pace to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (viii) the risks that AEye may be unable to deliver on its vision for the future of physical AI to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (ix) the risks that the physical AI market may not be at $5 billion today nor reach a trillion dollar market size by 2035, or at all; (x) the risks that AEye’s technology lead may not continue nor translate into firm volume commitments nor a durable revenue ramp to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (xi) the risks that AEye’s level of resources may not position the company to execute on multi-year production cycles to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (xii) the risks that our capital-light model may not remain a point of differentiation to the extent or for the time frame anticipated, or at all; (xiii) the risks that the uptick in expected demand later this year may not occur to the extent or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (xiv) the risks that the cash burn for the full year of 2026 may exceed $35 million due to unanticipated expenses associated with the investments required to ramp AEye’s products, or otherwise; (xv) the risks that market conditions may create delays in the demand for commercial lidar products beyond AEye’s expectations, if at all; (xvi) the risks that lidar adoption occurs slower than anticipated or fails to occur at all; (xvii) the risks that AEye’s products may not meet the diverse range of performance and functional requirements of target markets and customers; (xviii) the risks that AEye’s products may not function as anticipated by AEye, or by target markets and customers; (xix) the risks that AEye may not be in a position to adequately or timely address either the near or long-term opportunities that may or may not exist in the evolving autonomous transportation industry; (xx) the risks that laws and regulations are adopted impacting the use of lidar that AEye is unable to comply with, in whole or in part; (xxi) the risks associated with changes in competitive and regulated industries in which AEye operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, and changes in laws and regulations affecting AEye’s business; (xxii) the risks that AEye is unable to adequately implement its business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; and (xxiii) the risks of economic downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive and evolving industry in which AEye operates. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by current or future global conflicts and current and potential trade restrictions, trade tensions, and tariffs, all of which continue to cause economic uncertainty. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the periodic report that AEye has most recently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and other documents filed by us or that will be filed by us 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. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements; AEye 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.
