Management Commentary

"We are pleased with the team's execution on our strategic priorities, as we meet or exceed each one of our 2022 milestones. The most important of these milestones, and the foundation of our vision for Innoviz, was to become a Tier-1 supplier in the automotive market. We are proud to have achieved this through our selection as Volkswagen's CARIAD SE ("Volkswagen CARIAD") direct LiDAR supplier for automated vehicles within the Volkswagen brands. This is a testament to our premier products and innovative technology, aligned with our vision to be a world-wide, leading Tier-1 supplier for LiDARs and Perception Software in a fast changing and new automotive world," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz.

"In addition to the milestone Volkswagen CARIAD decision, I'm confident that our Tier-1 capabilities, including our ability to manage mass production manufacturability, automotive-grade quality, hardware validation, and computer vision validation will serve as a differentiating factor as other OEMs select their direct LiDAR supplier. Beyond the automotive industry, we have made important progress to expand our footprint in new geographies and use cases, and have further invested in our technology and perception software."

Commercial Progress

1.  Selection by Volkswagen's CARIAD as its direct LiDAR supplier for automated vehicles within the Volkswagen brands.

2.  Momentum on multiple world-wide opportunities in the automotive space:

3.  Ecosystem events:

4.  In the second quarter of 2022, Innoviz also expanded its global market share beyond the automotive industry:

Technology Leadership

Innoviz remains focused on investing in technology and perception software. This quarter, the Company made further improvements to its next-generation product, InnovizTwo.

Corporate Development

In the second quarter 2022, Innoviz announced a series of management team appointments to bolster its sales leadership experience and support its continued growth. The Company named Tali Chen as Chief Business Officer, Scott Craig as Country Manager, U.S., and Brijesh Shukla as Country Manager, Japan.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.8 million, compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. The Company expects InnovizOne sales to continue to increase and it's also targeting to sell the first samples of InnovizTwo later this year.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $28.8 million, a decrease from $70.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2022 included $4.4 million of share-based compensation compared to $49.9 million of share-based compensation in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in operating expenses in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation, partially offset by an increase in headcount during the second quarter of 2022.

Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $21.9 million, a decrease from $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2022 included $2.7 million attributable to share-based compensation compared to $17.6 million attributable to share-based compensation in the second quarter of 2021.

Innoviz maintains a high liquidity level with approximately $246 million in cash, short term deposits, restricted cash and marketable securities, as of June 30, 2022.

Guidance

Innoviz is reaffirming its 2022 guidance:
