How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

News Explained

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $17,504 thousand, versus $12,423 thousand in the comparable 2025 period; Valens says the quarter-end cash decline mainly reflects late-quarter revenue it expects to collect next quarter under standard payment terms.

Key Terms

4 terms

gaap financial

"Q3 2026 GAAP gross margin was 62.2%"

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.

View in glossary

non-gaap financial

"non-GAAP gross margin was 64.4%"

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.

View in glossary

adjusted ebitda financial

"Q3 2026 adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(2.7) million"

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

"to bring A-PHY into high-volume automotive camera applications"

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.

• Delivered Q3 2026 revenue of $21.9 million, exceeding the top end of our guidance
• Q3 2026 gross margin: 62.2% GAAP; 64.4% non-GAAP
• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of September 30, 2026: $74.7 million

HOD HASHARON, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Valens Semiconductor Ltd. (NYSE: VLN), a leading provider of high-performance connectivity chipsets, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

"We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter, where we exceeded our guidance and delivered revenue of $21.9 million," said Yoram Salinger, CEO of Valens Semiconductor. "One year into my tenure as CEO, I'm proud to introduce a new growth plan that builds on our strength in premium solutions while opening the door to significantly larger, mainstream markets. In audio-video, we announced the launch of the VS6310 chip, which will be the cornerstone for our strategy of embedding our technology inside a range of video conferencing devices. In automotive, we announced a strategic collaboration with leading image sensor manufacturer onsemi to bring A-PHY into high-volume automotive camera applications. We're optimistic that our growth strategy will allow us to expand our share in the markets we serve".

Q3 2026 Business Highlights:

• Announced the VS6310, a low-power USB3 extension chipset designed for integration directly into e/PTZ cameras, touch controllers, active cables and other small conference room peripherals.
• Partnered with onsemi on a cost-optimized integrated sensor for high-volume 3-megapixel automotive camera applications.
• New product launches based on the VS3000 and VS6320 chipsets by Sound Control Technologies, Blustream, Atlona, and Jabra.

Q3 2026 Financial Highlights:

• Q3 2026 revenue reached $21.9 million, exceeding our quarterly guidance of $21.3-$21.7 million, compared to $18.1 million in Q2 2026 and $17.3 million in Q3 2025.
  • Q3 2026 Cross-Industry Business ("CIB") revenue accounted for approximately 65% of total revenue at $14.0 million compared to $13.1 million in Q2 2026 and compared to $13.2 million in Q3 2025.
  • Q3 2026 Automotive revenue accounted for approximately 35% of total revenue at $7.9 million, compared to $5.0 million in Q2 2026 and $4.1 million in Q3 2025, in line with our expectation and plan.
• Q3 2026 GAAP gross margin was 62.2% (non-GAAP gross margin was 64.4%), above our guidance. This is compared to a GAAP gross margin of 61.5% for Q2 2026 and 63.0% for Q3 2025 (non-GAAP gross margin of 64.3% in Q2 2026 and 66.7% in Q3 2025). On a segment basis, Q3 gross margin from CIB was 66.8% and gross margin from Automotive was 53.9%. This compares to a Q2 2026 gross margin of 69.2% and 41.5%, respectively, and a Q3 2025 gross margin of 69.1% and 43.2%, respectively. The decrease in Q3 CIB gross margin compared to Q2 2026 and Q3 2025 was mainly due to a change in product mix. The increase in Q3 automotive gross margin compared to Q2 2026 was due to lower testing facility expenses incurred to prioritize and support production requirements, as well as a change in product mix.     
• Q3 2026 GAAP net loss amounted to $(5.5) million, compared to a net loss of $(8.1) million in Q2 2026 and a net loss of $(7.3) million in Q3 2025.
• Q3 2026 adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(2.7) million, better than the guidance range of a $(3.4)-$(2.8) million adjusted EBITDA loss. This compares to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(4.2) million in Q2 2026 and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(4.3) million in Q3 2025. The adjusted EBITDA improvement is related mainly to revenue increase, partially offset by planned tape out costs.
• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of September 30, 2026, were $74.7 million. This compares to cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $83.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and to cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $92.6 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash was primarily reflects timing differences in collections, driven by the higher volume of revenues recognized toward the end of the third quarter and are expected to be collected in the following quarter, in line with standard payment terms.

Financial Outlook for 2026

Valens Semiconductor is reaffirming its previously announced guidance for the full year 2026 to be between $78 million to $81 million, toward the upper end of the range. Full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $(14.9) million and $(12.9) million loss.

Disclaimer: Valens Semiconductor does not provide GAAP net profit (loss) guidance as 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. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See the tables below for additional information regarding this and other non-GAAP metrics used in this release.

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 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 earnout liability and Forfeiture Shares, which may vary from period-to-period, as well as certain batch production incident 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.

^[1] Working Capital is calculated as Total Current Assets, less Total Current Liabilities, as of the last day of the period.
^[2] As of the last day of the period.
^[3] GAAP Gross Profit excluding share-based compensation and depreciation expenses, divided by revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, share-based compensation and depreciation & amortization expenses were $489 thousand and $636 thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, share-based compensation and depreciation expenses were $1,504 thousand and $1,916 thousand, respectively.
^[4] Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net profit (loss) before financial income (expense), net, income taxes, equity in earnings of investee and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and change in fair value earnout liability, which may vary from period-to-period, and certain batch production incident 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. Please refer to the appendix at the end of this press release for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure in accordance with GAAP.
