MicroVision
Announces Preliminary Third Quarter 2024 Results and Business Update
REDMOND,
WA / ACCESSWIRE / October 15, 2024 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in MEMS-based solid-state automotive lidar and ADAS solutions,
today announced its preliminary unaudited third quarter 2024 results.
Key
Business Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2024
| |
● |
Actively
engaged with top-tier global automotive OEMs, with seven high-volume RFQs for passenger vehicles and custom development opportunities. |
| |
● |
Actively
engaged with multiple potential leading industrial customers for the opportunity to provide an integrated lidar hardware and software
solution in the heavy equipment vertical. |
| |
● |
Sequential
improvement in cash burn and productivity in the third quarter of 2024 positioned the Company well to leverage near-term hardware
and software sales to industrial customers. |
“We
are pleased with our continued engagement in RFQs with automotive OEMs and are also energized by the uptick in interest in pre-RFQ collaboration
and development work. Despite near-term automotive industry headwinds, we have worked hard to position MicroVision to capitalize on its
end markets in the industrial and automotive sectors,” said Sumit Sharma, MicroVision’s Chief Executive Officer. “With
a potential ramp in revenues from multiple heavy equipment customers starting in 2025, we expect to be on a sustainable path for multiple
years ahead as we work to secure higher volume automotive opportunities.” Continued Sharma, “With lower cash burn in Q3,
we are realizing benefits of increased productivity to extend our financial runway and execute near-term revenue opportunities.”
Key
Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2024
MicroVision
expects to report the following key highlights:
| |
● |
Revenue
for the third quarter of 2024 - $0.15 - $0.2 million, compared to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2023 due to one customer
pushing its orders out of the third quarter of 2024. |
| |
● |
$43.0
million in cash & cash equivalents including investment securities as of September 30, 2024. |
| |
● |
After
giving effect to the net proceeds from the first $45.0 million tranche of the financing transaction, we expect to have approximately

ATM, or at-the-market, facility and $30 million from the remaining commitment pursuant to the convertible note facility. |
| |
● |
No
cash was raised in the third quarter of 2024 from the sale of equity through existing $150 million ATM facility. |
