Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations present the combination of the historical statements of operations of Ouster, Inc. (“Ouster”) and Velodyne Lidar, Inc. (“Velodyne”) adjusted to give effect to the transactions consummated on February 10, 2023 (“Closing Date”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2022, by and among Ouster, Oban Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub I”), Oban Merger Sub II LLC (“Merger Sub II”) and Velodyne, referred to as the merger agreement. Under the merger agreement, Merger Sub I merged with and into Velodyne, with Velodyne as the surviving entity and continuing as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Ouster, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law, as amended, referred to as the first merger, and, immediately after the first merger and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the first merger, Velodyne merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II as the surviving entity and continuing as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ouster, in accordance with the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as amended, referred to as the second merger. The first merger and the second merger, together, are referred to as the “mergers.” The mergers are accounted for as a business combination with Ouster identified as accounting acquirer.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations were prepared based on the historical consolidated statements of operations of Ouster and Velodyne after giving effect to the mergers using the acquisition method of accounting, and after applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 combines the historical audited statement of operations of Ouster for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of Velodyne for the year ended December 31, 2022 on a pro forma basis as if the mergers occurred on January 1, 2022, the first day of Ouster’s most recently completed fiscal year.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 combines the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Ouster for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the unaudited historical condensed consolidated statement of operations of Velodyne for the period from January 1, 2023 through the Closing Date, on a pro forma basis as if the mergers occurred on January 1, 2022, the first day of Ouster’s most recently completed fiscal year.

On April 20, 2023, Ouster filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-10 reverse stock split of Ouster’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and a corresponding reduction in Ouster’s authorized shares of common stock. The historical share and per share information included herein reflects the Reverse Stock Split.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations were derived from and, as applicable, should be read in conjunction with the following:

•	the audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Ouster as of and for the year<br>ended December 31, 2022, included in Ouster’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 24, 2023;
•	the audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Velodyne as of and for the<br>year ended December 31, 2022, included in Ouster’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on April 27, 2023; and
---	---
•	the unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Ouster as of and<br>for the three months ended March 31, 2023, included in Ouster’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 12, 2023.
---	---

The pro forma statements of operations have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, which is referred to herein as Article 11.

Page 1 of 8

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the mergers occurred on the dates indicated, and do not reflect adjustments for any anticipated synergies, adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not purport to project the future operating results of Ouster following the completion of the mergers. Ouster and Velodyne did not have material historical relationships reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the entry into the merger agreement. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

Accordingly, 19.5 million shares of Ouster common stock were immediately issued and outstanding, based on Velodyne’s outstanding common stock balance as of February 10, 2023, and accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock awards (“PSAs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) upon closing of the first merger as discussed below:

•	the cancellation of each issued and outstanding share of Velodyne common stock and the conversion of each such<br>issued and outstanding share of Velodyne common stock into the right to receive 0.8204 shares of Ouster common stock, referred to the exchange ratio;
•	the automatic vesting upon change of control of Ouster RSUs;
---	---
•	the automatic vesting due to change of control and expected termination of Velodyne RSAs and PSAs;<br>
---	---
•	the automatic vesting upon change of control of a portion of a Velodyne warrant granted to a customer and<br>exercisable into Velodyne common stock shares;
---	---
•	the automatic vesting upon change of control of Velodyne RSUs;
---	---
•	the conversion of each Velodyne warrant into the right to acquire a number of shares of Ouster common stock equal<br>to the number of shares of Velodyne common stock subject to such Velodyne warrant and the exchange ratio with the corresponding adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants;
---	---
•	the conversion of outstanding unvested restricted shares of Velodyne common stock into shares of Ouster common<br>stock at the exchange ratio, which shares will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and repurchase terms) effective immediately prior to the effective time of the first merger.
