Innoviz Reports First-Quarter 2024 Results, Exceeds Revenue Guidance for Second
Consecutive Quarter and Expands Key Partner and Customer Relationships
Q1 2024 revenues of $7.1 million exceed previous guidance range of $5 -$6 million; reiterates full year
2024 operational targets
TEL AVIV, Israel – May 8, 2024 – Innoviz Technologies
Ltd. (Nasdaq: INVZ) (the “Company” or “Innoviz”), a leading Tier-1 direct supplier of high-performance, automotive grade LiDAR sensors and perception software, today provided commercial and strategic updates on its business, reported its financial
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, provided guidance for the second quarter and reiterated its full year commercial and financial targets.
“Innoviz is off to a terrific start this year. We achieved strong revenue growth, beating our expectations, once again expanded our
relationships with key partners and customers, and continued to build our RFI and RFQ pipeline across multiple programs,” said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz. “With the BMW I7 launching in Germany, we believe we are the only pureplay
LiDAR company to reach SOP with level 3, as there are vehicles currently on the road using our LiDARs and perception software. As part of expanding our relationships with our customers, we are collaborating with Volkswagen Group and Mobileye on an
additional level 3 program. Overall, our pipeline is very active, with approximately half in the RFQ stage and more to come.”
Keilaf added, “We remain very optimistic about the LiDAR sector as recent industry and regulatory activity reflects the continued
adoption of LiDAR. We believe that as OEMs work to comply with new regulations, and as the automotive industry raises its standards, OEMs will move to implement new capabilities and features, many of which may be supported only by LiDAR. Looking
ahead, we expect that Innoviz will have the runway necessary to cement our place as a leading LiDAR supplier during this important market capture phase.”

Forward Looking Statements
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws,
including statements regarding the services offered by Innoviz, the anticipated technological capability of Innoviz’s products, the markets in which Innoviz operates, and Innoviz's projected future operational and financial results. These
forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "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-recuring Engineering) bookings” 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). The
commitment for a certain NRE is usually provided around the design win and 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 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 the evolving conflict in Israel to 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, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2024 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. 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.
