Pattern Detected

Earnings releases have generally been followed by negative price reactions, with an average same-tag move of -8.69%, even when results exceeded guidance.

Recent Company History

Over the past year, Valens has consistently reported revenue above guidance with expanding GAAP gross margins and a strong cash position, but its stock often traded lower on these earnings days, averaging -8.69% moves. Prior quarters (Q1–Q3 2025) all beat revenue guidance yet saw declines of -5.56% to -14.8%. The latest 2024 year-end report also coincided with a negative reaction. Today’s Q4 and full-year 2025 beat, coupled with 2026 growth guidance, comes against this backdrop of cautious market responses.

Key Terms

5 terms

gaap financial

"Q4 2025 gross margin: 60.5% GAAP; 63.9% non-GAAP, exceeding the top end"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

non-gaap financial

"Q4 2025 gross margin: 60.5% GAAP; 63.9% non-GAAP, exceeding the top end"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

adjusted ebitda financial

"Q4 2025 adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(4.3) million, within the guidance"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

mipi a-phy technical

"Fourth MIPI A-PHY design win with a premium carmaker serving the Chinese market."

MIPI A-PHY is an industry standard that defines a long-distance physical wire connection for high-speed video and sensor data between chips and modules in vehicles and other devices. Investors care because broad adoption simplifies wiring, cuts component and manufacturing costs, and enables more cameras and sensors per product—factors that can boost sales and profit margins for suppliers and chipmakers much like a common power socket makes many appliances compatible and cheaper to build.

form 20-f regulatory

"its Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2025 (including its full year 2025 audited"

Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.

Key Financial Highlights:

• Q4 2025 revenues: $19.4 million, exceeding the top end of our guidance
• Q4 2025 gross margin: 60.5% GAAP; 63.9% non-GAAP, exceeding the top end of our guidance
• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of December 31, 2025: $92.6 million

HOD HASHARON, Israel, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Valens Semiconductor Ltd. (NYSE: VLN), a leader in high-performance connectivity, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"We are pleased to report a strong fourth quarter, well above our initial expectations, delivering revenues of $19.4 million, which brings us to $70.6 million yearly revenues in 2025," said Yoram Salinger, CEO of Valens Semiconductor. "Valens' fourth-quarter results mark our seventh consecutive quarter of revenue growth and a 22% growth year-over-year increase. While we expect to maintain growth in 2026, the pace and extent of that growth may be affected by macroeconomic conditions and the pace of adoption of new technologies, which could continue to reduce visibility and increase uncertainty."

"Valens has delivered some remarkable achievements over the years, both in the Audio-Video arena and in the Automotive market. Hence, my outlook for the company and my strategy for achieving our growth targets is to concentrate our resources on these core businesses. In these markets, Valens brings unmatched technology leadership and brand recognition, and our focus will continue to be on meaningful growth opportunities," Salinger concluded.

"Our yearly guidance reflects our expectation for continued growth, based on the visibility we have today, while acknowledging that macroeconomic uncertainty may impact the pace of our growth," said Guy Nathanzon, CFO of Valens Semiconductor. "Given the current environment and reduced visibility beyond the near term, we will provide single-year growth projections going forward. Further, at the beginning of 2026, we announced an operational efficiency plan, which is expected to save approximately $5 million annually in operating expenses."

  • Q4 2025 Cross-Industry Business ("CIB") revenues accounted for approximately 70% of total revenues at $13.9 million compared to $13.2 million in Q3 2025 and $11.7 million in Q4 2024.
  • Q4 2025 Automotive revenues accounted for approximately 30% of total revenues at $5.5 million, compared to $4.1 million in Q3 2025 and $5.0 million in Q4 2024.
• Q4 2025 GAAP gross margin was 60.5% (non-GAAP gross margin was 63.9%), above the guidance of 58%-60%.

This compares to a Q3 2025 gross margin of 69.1% and 43.2%, respectively, and Q4 2024 gross margin of 64.7% and 50.5%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin of the CIB compared to Q3 2025 was due to a change in product mix. The increase in Q4 2025 in automotive gross margin compared to Q3 2025 was due to cost optimization.
• Q4 2025 GAAP net loss amounted to $(8.8) million, compared to a net loss of $(7.3) million in Q3 2025 and a net loss of $(7.3) million in Q4 2024.

  • Automotive revenues accounted for 26.9% (equivalent to $19.0 million), compared to 37.3% (equivalent to $21.6 million) in 2024. The decrease was due to gradual price erosion and a reduction in the number of units sold to Mercedes Benz.

The increase in the 2025 automotive gross margin was due to an optimization of our product cost. The decrease in gross margin of the CIB was due to a product mix shift.

VALENS SEMICONDUCTOR LTD.
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(U.S. Dollars in thousands)

The following table provides a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net profit (loss) before financial expense (income), net, income taxes, equity in earnings of investee and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and change in fair value of Forfeiture Shares and earnout liability, which may vary from period-to-period, and certain batch production incident expenses(income). We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Although we provide guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, we are not able to provide guidance for projected Net profit (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Certain elements of Net profit (loss), including share-based compensation expenses and warrant valuations, are not predictable due to the high variability and difficulty of making accurate forecasts. As a result, it is impractical for us to provide guidance on Net profit (loss) or to reconcile our Adjusted EBITDA guidance without unreasonable efforts. Consequently, no disclosure of projected Net profit (loss) is included. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
