NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

b. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a series of attacks on civilian and military targets in Southern and<br>Central Israel, to which the Israel Defense Forces have responded. In addition, both Hezbollah and the Houthi movement have attacked military<br>and civilian targets in Northern Israel, to which Israel has responded, including through increased air and ground operations in Lebanon.<br>In addition, the Houthi movement has attacked international shipping lanes in the red sea. Further, on April 13, 2024, and on October<br>1, 2024, Iran launched a series of drone and missile strikes against Israel, to which Israel has responded. How long and how severe the<br>current conflict in Gaza, Northern Israel, Lebanon or the broader region becomes is unknown at this time and any continued clash among<br>Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran or other countries or militant groups in the region may escalate in the future into a greater regional<br>conflict. To date our operations and financial results have not been materially affected. We expect that the current conflict in the Gaza<br>Strip, Lebanon and the security escalation in Israel will not have a material impact on our business results in the short term. However,<br>since this is an event beyond our control, its continuation or cessation may affect our expectations. We continue to monitor political<br>and military developments closely and examine the consequences for our business, results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements that were included in Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, deposits and accounts payable (included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets) approximates their fair value because of their generally short maturities.

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

b. New Accounting Pronouncements

Accountingpronouncements effective in future periods:

In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense and ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, inter alia, disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such as cost of sales, general and administrative, and research and development). The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

--- ---
(2) The acquired company is deemed to have an underlying technology of a value, through its continued use<br>or re-use in many products or many generations of a singular product (a product family). The fair value of Core Technology was estimated<br>by applying the income approach, specifically the Multi Period Excess Earnings method. Core Technology is amortized over a period of 5.6<br>years. The discount rate for Acroname’s technology was estimated at 25.3% reflecting the WACC.
--- ---

(4) Goodwill is primarily related to the workforce, expected synergies such as potential cost savings in operations<br>as a result of the business combination as well as potential future development of the mutual development projects. The goodwill is deductible<br>for tax purposes. All of the $1,847 thousand of goodwill was assigned to Cross Industry business (“CIB”) segment.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

a. Noncancelable Purchase Obligations

The Company depends upon third party subcontractors for manufacturing of wafers, packaging and final tests. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total value of open purchase orders acknowledged by such manufacturing contractors was approximately $7,077 thousand and $8,044 thousand, respectively.

The Company has noncancelable purchase agreements for certain IP embedded in the Company’s products as well as certain agreement for the license of development tools used by the development team. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total value of non-paid amounts related to such agreements totaled to $1,651 thousand and $2,349 thousand, respectively.


b. Legal proceedings

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company is not a party to, or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency or instrumentality. There is no material action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate.

On March 26, 2024, the Company received a complaint from a customer regarding allegedly damaged chips due to a certain batch production incident that customer embedded in its product. The company identified and remedied the production process. On September 10, 2024, the customer sent a cost claim letter in the amount of 2,096 thousand Euro ($2,268 thousand as of March 31, 2025).

In 2024, the Company recorded a relevant provision in its books, within its other current liabilities. Relevant expenses were recorded in the general and administrative expenses.

As of March 31, 2025, this incident and its full results are still being discussed between the Company, the customer and the relevant insurers, and the actual expenses may eventually be higher than those recorded by the Company. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain reimbursement from its product liability insurance, however there is no certainty that the Company will be able to recure the entire expenses amount from the insurance company. The Company has not yet recorded an asset in its books.

NOTE 7 - FORFEITURE SHARES:

a. On March 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”, please<br>refer to note 1a of the financial statements as of December 31, 2024), 1,006,250 Ordinary Shares that PTK sponsor received in respect<br>of its PTK common stock, are subject to forfeiture if certain price targets for the Valens Ordinary Shares are not achieved within a<br>certain period of time (of up to four years), after the Closing Date or if an M&A Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement<br>Closing, please refer to note 1c of the financial statements as of December 31, 2024), does not occur at a certain minimum price.

The Company performed a Monte-Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of such shares.

On September 30, 2024, 646,875 Ordinary Shares were forfeited because the specified price targets were not met.

The fair value of the Forfeiture Shares was computed using the following key assumptions:

March 31,<br> 2025 December 31, <br><br>2024
Stock price 2.04 2.60

NOTE 8 - EARNOUT LIABILITY

With respect to the Acroname’s acquisition (See also note 3), the Company shall be obligated to pay Acroname’s former shareholders earn out payments of up to $7.2 million, of which an amount of $1.5 million upon completion of a development of a certain product by June 2026, and the remaining amount depending on the achievement of certain revenue, EBITDA and cashflow targets in 2024 and 2025. These earn out payments are expected to be paid during 2026, in case targets are met.

The Company recorded earn out liability in connection with these payments at fair value on the acquisition date. The Company performed a Monte-Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of earnout liability. The fair value of the earnout liability was computed using the following key assumptions: discount rate of 21.4%, expected term of 1.59-2.08 years, expected volatility of 55.71% and risk-free interest rate of 5.04%.

Each reporting period thereafter, the Company revalues the earn-out liability and records the changes in their fair value in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Changes in the fair value of earnout liability can result from adjustments to the discount rates, revenues, profitability targets and achievement of mutual development project. This fair value measurement represents Level 3 measurements, as they are based on significant inputs not observable in the market. Significant judgment is required in determining the assumptions utilized as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Accordingly, changes in the assumptions described above could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and comprehensive loss.

Each reporting period thereafter, the Company will revalue earnout liability and record the changes in the fair value in consolidated statements of operations. Significant changes in unobservable inputs, mainly the probability of success and cash flows projected, could result in material changes to the earnout liability.

The fair value of the earnout liability was computed using the following key assumptions:

March 31,<br><br> 2025
Discount rate 20.6%
Expected term (years) 0.75-1.25
Expected volatility 50.42%
Risk-free interest rate 4.27%

The following table summarizes the activity for the earnout liability, where fair value measurement is estimated utilizing Level 3 inputs:

Three months<br><br> ended<br><br> March 31,<br><br> 2025 Year ended<br><br> December 31, <br><br>2024

NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING:

Derivatives


Generally accepted accounting principles require all derivatives, whether designated in a hedging relationship or not, to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivative instruments are measured at fair value within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the future potential financial impact of changes in the U.S. Dollar value of anticipated transactions and balances denominated in ILS resulting from changes in USD/ILS exchange rates. The Company entered into derivative transactions, specifically foreign currency forward contracts, to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk to reduce earnings volatility. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes.


Non-Designated Hedges


The Company hedges its foreign currency monetary assets primarily resulting from foreign currency denominated short-term deposits with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that the Company’s earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts have maturities of up to approximately 12 months. Generally, The Company does not designate these foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Any gains or losses on the underlying foreign-denominated balance are offset by the losses or gains on the forward contract. Derivative instruments are recorded as other current assets and other current liabilities, according to the timing of the cash flows. As of March 31, 2025, the derivative instruments are recorded as other current assets or other current liabilities. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated deposits are included in financial income, net. The cash flows associated with these derivatives are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows consistently with the classification of the underlying hedged transaction, within cash flows from investing activities.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments with notional and fair value amounts equivalent to the following:

Currency Hedged March 31,<br><br> 2025 December 31,<br><br> 2024
U.S. dollars in thousands
Israeli Shekel / U.S. Dollar 10,564 20,038
Fair value of derivatives assets 1 1
Fair value of derivatives liabilities 137 605

The following table shows the effect of our non-designated hedges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Three months ended March 31, 2025:

Location of <br><br>Gain Three months ended March 31, 2025

| | | U.S. dollars in thousands |

NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING (continued):

Designated Hedges

During the fourth quarter of 2024 the Company initiated a foreign currency cash flow hedging program, designed to hedge the Company’s foreign exchange rate risk, resulting from ILS payroll expenses. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted payroll payments denominated in ILS for a period of up to 12 months, using forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815. Derivative instruments are recorded as other current assets or other current liabilities, according to the timing of the cash flows. As of March 31, 2025, the derivative instruments are recorded as other current assets and other current liabilities. For these derivative instruments, designated as a cash flow hedge, gains and losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects the statement of operations. As of March 31, 2025, the Company expects to reclassify all of its unrealized gains and losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings during the next twelve months. The cash flows associated with these derivatives are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows consistently with the classification of the underlying hedged transaction, within cash flows from operating activities.


The notional and fair value amount and fair value of outstanding derivatives at the end of each period were:

NOTE 14 - SEGMENT AND REVENUE BY GEOGRAPHY AND BY MAJOR CUSTOMER:

a. The chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer,<br>who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information prepared on a consolidated basis, accompanied<br>by disaggregated information about revenues, gross profit and operating loss by the two identified reportable segments. The Company’s<br>business includes two operating segments based on the two markets the Company serves:

Cross Industry Business: The Company’s solutions for the non-automotive verticals, including audio-video, industrial, machine vision and medical markets, that deliver superior, plug-and-play convergence and distribution of different interfaces, through a single long-distance category cable.

Automotive: Valens Automotive delivers safe & resilient high-speed in-vehicle connectivity for advanced car architectures, realizing the vision of connected and autonomous cars.

For the purpose of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources, the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues, gross profit and operating loss by the two identified reportable segments, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. Assets information is not provided to the CODM and is not reviewed. Revenues and cost of goods sold are directly associated with the activities of a specific segment. Direct operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses, associated with the activities of a specific segment are charged to that segment. General and administrative expenses which cannot be attributed directly, are allocated evenly between segments. Other operating expenses are allocated to segments based on headcount ratio.

The CODM monitors the gross profit of each segment to analyze fluctuations relative to prior periods (cost reductions, change in product mix etc.).

The CODM uses segment operating profit (loss) to evaluate income (loss) generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment. Segment operating profit (loss) is used to monitor budget versus actual results, in order to assess the performance of the segment.
