Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Management highlighted continued adoption of its Audio‑Video chipsets and progress in automotive connectivity, noting Q1 results exceeded its guidance range.

Insights

Semiconductor equity analyst

Q1 2026 shows flat revenue, steady losses, and solid cash.

Valens Semiconductor delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $16.9M, essentially flat year over year, with GAAP gross margin at 62.2%. Management stated the quarter exceeded the top end of its guidance, suggesting execution was better than previously expected even without headline growth.

The company remains loss-making, with net loss of $8.3M and adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.5M, slightly worse than the prior year. However, operating cash outflow improved to $5.1M from $7.6M, and cash, equivalents and short‑term deposits of $86.1M plus working capital of $91.3M provide meaningful runway.

Guidance for Q2 2026 calls for revenue of $17.2M–$17.6M, gross margin of 60%–62%, and adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.4M–$4.9M. This points to modest sequential revenue growth with similar loss levels. Future company filings may clarify how adoption of its VS6320, VS3000 and MIPI A‑PHY‑based solutions translates into sustained revenue expansion and margin trends.

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"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."

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.

non-GAAP Gross Margin financial

"Non-GAAP Gross Margin (3) | | | 65.2 | % | | | 66.7 | %"

Non-GAAP gross margin is a measure of a company's profitability that shows how much money it makes from sales after subtracting the direct costs of producing its products or services, but without applying certain accounting adjustments required by standard rules. It helps investors understand the company's core earning ability by excluding items like one-time expenses or accounting changes. This metric provides a clearer picture of ongoing business performance beyond official financial reports.

earnout liability financial

"Change in earnout liability | | | 282 | | | | (174 | )"

A future payment a buyer has agreed to make after an acquisition if the purchased business hits certain performance targets; it is recorded as a liability because it may become an obligation. Investors care because it affects a company's reported debt and potential cash outflows—similar to promising a bonus if a car you bought later reaches a set mileage, it shifts risk and can change valuation and earnings depending on whether the targets are met.

working capital financial

"Working Capital (1) | | | 91,279 | | | | 119,820 |"

Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

MIPI A-PHY technical

"Pushing the boundaries of connectivity, Valens sets the standard everywhere it operates, and its technology forms the basis for the leading industry standards such as HDBaseT® and MIPI A-PHY."

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.

Exhibit 99.1

Valens Semiconductor Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

Key Financial Highlights:

● Q1 2026 revenues: $16.9 million, exceeding the top end of our guidance

● Q1 2026 gross margin: 62.2% GAAP; 65.2% non-GAAP, exceeding the top end of our guidance

● Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of March 31, 2026: $86.1 million

HOD HASHARON, Israel, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Valens Semiconductor Ltd. (NYSE: VLN), a leader in high-performance connectivity, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“The first quarter of 2026 exceeded our expectations, as we once again beat the top end of our guidance,” said Yoram Salinger, CEO of Valens Semiconductor. “In Audio-Video, we’re continuing to see increased adoption of our VS6320 and VS3000 chipsets, as additional products based on these chips hit the market. In automotive, Valens is focused on pushing the MIPI A-PHY ecosystem forward. In Q1, we publicly demonstrated the first three-company interoperable SerDes link, reinforcing one of the core value propositions of any industry standard by introducing a multi-vendor ecosystem for OEMs.”

Q1 2026 Financial Highlights:

● Q1 2026 revenues reached $16.9 million, exceeding our guidance of $16.3-$16.7 million, compared to $19.4 million in Q4 2025 and $16.8 million in Q1 2025.

○ Q1 2026 Cross-Industry Business (“CIB”) revenues accounted for approximately 65% of total revenues at $11.0 million compared to $13.9 million in Q4 2025 and $11.7 million in Q1 2025.

○ Q1 2026 Automotive revenues accounted for approximately 35% of total revenues at $5.9 million, compared to $5.5 million in Q4 2025 and $5.1 million in Q1 2025.

● Q1 2026 GAAP gross margin was 62.2% (non-GAAP gross margin was 65.2%), above the guidance of 57%-59%. This is compared to a GAAP gross margin of 60.5% for Q4 2025 and 62.9% for Q1 2025 (non-GAAP gross margin of 63.9% in Q4 2025 and 66.7% in Q1 2025). On a segment basis, Q1 2026 gross margin from the CIB was 70.8% and gross margin from Automotive was 46.2%. This compares to Q4 2025 gross margins on a segment basis of 66.4% and 45.9%, respectively, and Q1 2025 gross margins on a segment basis of 69.1% and 48.4%, respectively. The increase in gross margin of the CIB compared to Q4 2025 was primarily due to product mix.

● Q1 2026 GAAP net loss amounted to $(8.3) million, compared to a net loss of $(8.8) million in Q4 2025 and a net loss of $(8.3) million in Q1 2025.

● Q1 2026 adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(5.5) million, which was lower than the previous guidance range of a $(7.9)-$(7.5) million adjusted EBITDA loss. This compares to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(4.3) million in Q4 2025 and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(4.3) million in Q1 2025.

● Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of March 31, 2026, were $86.1 million and no debt. This compares to a cash balance of $92.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and $112.5 million as of March 31, 2025.

Financial Outlook for Q2 2026

For Q2 2026, Valens expects revenues to range between $17.2 million to $17.6 million, gross margin to range between 60% to 62%, and adjusted EBITDA loss to range between $(4.9) million to $(4.4) million.

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.

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 (expense), net, income taxes, equity in earnings of investee and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and change in earnout liability, which may vary from period-to-period. 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.
