Insights

Technology and Corporate Strategy Expert

Mixed operational progress and strategic moves contrast with continued low revenue and ongoing losses; near-term impact appears neutral.

Business mechanism: The company reports product and M&A developments—appointment of Glen DeVos as CEO, launch of the MOVIA S short-range solid-state lidar, introduction of a Tri-Lidar Architecture, and an agreement to acquire Scantinel Photonics—which together aim to broaden the technology portfolio across automotive, industrial, and defense markets. The firm also opened a D.C. design and test office to support ISR work and expanded sales and engineering leadership to accelerate commercialization.

Dependencies and risks: Financially, revenue remains very small at $0.2 million for Q3 2025 while net loss is $14.2 million and adjusted EBITDA is a $11.7 million loss, so near-term commercial traction is limited. Cash and liquidity are material facts: cash and equivalents total $99.5 million and the company reports access to $76.2 million of additional capital subject to conditions; cash used in operations was $16.5 million in the quarter. These numbers constrain runway and make execution of the announced strategic steps contingent on converting engineering and R&D progress into meaningful sales.

Concrete items to watch within 3–12 months: monitor revenue growth beyond the reported $0.2 million, any definitive terms or closing of the Scantinel transaction and its financial impact, commercialization milestones for MOVIA S and Tri-Lidar Architecture, and quarterly cash burn versus available capital including utilization of the $46.2 million ATM capacity and the $30 million convertible note commitment; management’s conference call on November 11, 2025 may provide timelines and integration details.

REDMOND, WASHINGTON / ACCESS Newswire / November 11, 2025 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a technology pioneer delivering advanced perception solutions in autonomy and mobility, today announced its third quarter 2025 results.

Key Business and Operational Highlights

• Appointed 30-year industry veteran Glen DeVos as Chief Executive Officer, elevating automotive capabilities.

• Introduced next generation solid-state lidar sensor, MOVIA S, offering an energy-efficient and cost-effective short-range solution for a wide variety of automotive, industrial, and defense sector applications.

• Launched industry-disrupting Tri-Lidar Architecture solution, offering an alternative to the lidar industry's myopic focus on single sensor solutions.

• Executed agreement to acquire Scantinel Photonics, a German developer of long-range FMCW lidar, joining investment and strategic partners in advancing lidar-on-chip solution for commercial vehicle and passenger car markets.

• Established design office and testing facilities in D.C. area, with engineering expertise in aviation and avionics, accelerating development and time-to-market in defense sector, focused on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, or ISR, capabilities.

• Expanded global sales and engineering leadership, bringing decades of experience to sales organization and commercialization discipline.

• Maintained strong balance sheet, cost-efficient operations, and sound financial practices.

"I've been thrilled to see the Company's momentum and energy these past six weeks, as I stepped into my new role here at MicroVision," said Glen DeVos, MicroVision's Chief Executive Officer. "The Company is making great strides - processing the high level of external interest stemming from the unveiling at IAA Mobility of our next-gen short-range sensor; optimizing perception system value to automotive OEMs by disrupting norms to offer a cost-effective, integrated solution; accelerating our drone-agnostic perception solution and expansion into ISR applications; and collaborating with the EU's photonics ecosystem to bring 1550nm FMCW lidar technology to the commercial vehicle and passenger car markets."

"Based on my experience in the evolution of radar, I'm confident that MicroVision will be a leader in lidar, driving the market to a similar inflection point as we saw when radar became a standard feature in automotive ADAS," continued DeVos. "MicroVision has the product portfolio, engineering excellence, and strategic plan to disrupt the market and I am thrilled to lead MicroVision as we redefine the future of lidar."

Non-GAAP information

To supplement MicroVision's condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents investors with the non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted EBITDA" and "adjusted Gross Profit." Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income (loss) excluding the impact of the following: interest income and interest expense; income tax expense; depreciation and amortization; non-cash gains and losses; share-based compensation; and restructuring costs. Adjusted Gross Profit is calculated as GAAP gross profit before share-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of revenue.

MicroVision believes that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Gross Profit provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends, provides consistency and comparability with MicroVision's past financial reports, and facilitates comparisons with other companies in the Company's industry, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Internally, management uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating performance because the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional useful measure of the Company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of the Company's core operating performance against prior periods and its business objectives. Externally, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Gross Profit are useful to investors in their assessment of MicroVision's operating performance and the valuation of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Gross Profit are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of MicroVision's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from its non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

The Company compensates for limitations of the adjusted EBITDA measure by prominently disclosing GAAP net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and providing investors with a reconciliation from GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA.

Similarly for adjusted Gross Profit, the Company compensates for limitations of the measure by prominently disclosing GAAP gross profit which is the difference between Revenue and Cost of revenue, which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and providing investors with a reconciliation by backing out share-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of revenue.
