TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INVZ) (the "Company", "we", or "Innoviz"), a leading supplier of high performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms for the automotive, security, defense and industrial markets, today provided commercial and strategic updates on its business, reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and reiterated its financial and operational targets for 2026.

"In recent months Innoviz began its expansion into the defense and homeland security markets, which we believe have the potential to be a significant driver of long-term growth," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Founder of Innoviz. "For the past decade, we developed and built our LiDARs to meet the toughest bar in the auto industry, meeting functional safety requirements and achieving automotive qualification. Now, our precise, robust, automotive-grade sensors are starting to be adopted in the defense and security markets across applications such as counter-UAS and perimeter protection. As governments around the world allocate billions of dollars to address new threats, our newly launched dedicated defense and security brand, Perciz, aims to meet today's urgent needs. In the past three months, we have added six collaborations spanning a variety of use cases, and systems with our sensors have already been deployed in several locations, serving as potentially life-saving defenses. We are in conversations with dozens of prospective customers, and on July 30, we received our first multimillion-dollar orders from a defense customer totaling approximately $3.5 million. We believe this early traction, combined with our execution experience in the automotive market, positions us to pursue what we see as a significant opportunity in defense. In addition, in the automotive space, our partnerships with VW, Mobileye, Daimler Truck, and others are on track, and we recently announced the development of a LiDAR-based perception stack with a top 10 global OEM. We believe the combination of the automotive market and the defense and security markets has the potential to create a flywheel effect, and over time may support stronger growth and improved financial performance as we work to become a premier worldwide supplier of best-in-class LiDAR solutions."

Forward Looking Statements

This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the services and products offered by Innoviz, the anticipated technological capability of Innoviz's products, the markets in which Innoviz operates, and the Company's ability to successfully enter and compete in the defense and homeland security markets, expected NRE payments, the anticipated scaling of production and/or the potential volume of product units under third-party platform programs, and Innoviz's projected future operational and financial results, including revenue and NREs and the potential for synergies between the Company's automotive and defense market activities. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "potential", "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. 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.

"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 and evaluations into long-term commercial relationships, the risk that initial purchase orders do not convert into anticipated volumes and that results depend on the success of third party integrators and partners, the risks associated with the defense and homeland security market, including procurement cycles, budgetary constraints and regulatory and export control considerations, the early stage of the Company's defense and security business; the dependency on third-party platform decisions, regulatory approvals, and market conditions with respect to projected product volumes under programs; the risk that anticipated synergies between the automotive and defense markets may not materialize or that these markets have different sales cycles, regulatory regimes, and margin profiles, 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. You should carefully consider such risk and the other risks and uncertainties described in Innoviz's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 4, 2026, and in other documents filed by Innoviz 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. The agreements and letters of intent referenced in this announcement are subject to various conditions, including, in certain cases, successful completion of evaluation phases, negotiation of definitive terms, and customer election to proceed. There can be no assurances that any such arrangement will result in definitive agreements, firm orders, payments, or series production, or that volumes, timing, or commercial terms will align with current expectations. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Innoviz 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. Innoviz gives no assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
