MicroVision Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

REDMOND, WA / ACCESS Newswire / March 26, 2025 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a technology pioneer delivering advanced perception solutions in autonomy and mobility, today announced its fourth quarter 2024 results.

Text size:

Key Business Highlights

  • Significant momentum toward near-term revenue opportunities from multiple leading industrial companies in the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) and automated guided vehicle (AGV) sector.

  • Actively engaged with top-tier global automotive OEMs, with seven high-volume RFQs for passenger vehicles and custom development opportunities.

  • Secured production commitment to ensure continuous and uninterrupted supply of sensors and integrated software to meet anticipated volume demand.

  • Deepened executive leadership expertise with the hiring of Glen DeVos, former CTO of Aptiv, to lead the enhancement of our product portfolio and expansion of our customer solutions.

  • Streamlined cost structure in 2024, resulting in sequential improvement in cash burn.

  • Secured a $75 million convertible note facility with an institutional investor, plus raised an additional $8 million in the first quarter of 2025 through an equity sale to the same investor.

"MicroVision is well positioned to secure revenue opportunities for 2025, primarily from three verticals: industrial, automotive, and defense," said Sumit Sharma, MicroVision's Chief Executive Officer. "Our unique value proposition continues to be our integrated perception software with our MAVIN and MOVIA sensors. We continue to offer compelling solutions to industrial customers and automotive OEMs at attractive price points."

Sharma continued, "With a well-capitalized balance sheet including $75 million in cash and cash equivalents and access to additional capital of up to $161 million subject to certain conditions, we believe we are in a strong position to support customer demand and commit to high-volume deliveries. Last year, we secured a production commitment with ZF to enable us to fulfill demand in the range of $30-$50 million over the next 12-18 months, which we expect to be driven primarily by customers in the AMR/AGV vertical. With a strong balance sheet and improved cost structure, we are offering comprehensive solutions at competitive prices to solidify our position in the market. We expect to continue scaling resources, both internally and with third party vendors and suppliers, as we remain engaged with automotive OEMs and responsive to their evolving timelines."

Key Financial Highlights for Q4 2024 and Full Year 2024

  • Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $1.7 million, compared to $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding the one-time revenue from Microsoft of $4.6 million in Q4 2023, the revenue growth in Q4 2024 was driven by demand primarily from industrial customers. Q4 revenue was short of our expectations as a customer was delayed into 2025.

  • Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $31.2 million, or $0.14 per share, which includes $2.0 million of non-cash, share-based compensation expense and $13.2 million of the new convertible note-related expense, compared to a net loss of $19.7 million, or $0.10 per share, which includes $4.6 million of non-cash, share-based compensation expense, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 was a $13.2 million loss, compared to a $13.6 million loss for the fourth quarter of 2023.

  • Cash used in operations in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $15.0 million, compared to cash used in operations in the fourth quarter of 2023 of $16.6 million.

  • The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2024 with $74.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, including investment securities, compared to $73.8 million at December 31, 2023.

Subsequent to the fourth quarter, the Company bolstered its financial position by entering into an agreement to raise up to $17 million in new equity capital and reducing future cash obligations stemming from its $75 million senior secured convertible note facility with High Trail Capital. To date, $12.25 million of the convertible note has been converted into common stock, thereby reducing the Company's obligations under the note by over 27%. With this new equity investment, the Company has access to $161 million of capital, subject to certain market conditions, including $17 million in new equity capital, $114 million under its existing ATM, or at-the-market, facility and $30 million from the remaining commitment pursuant to the convertible note facility.

Conference Call and Webcast: Q4 2024 Results

MicroVision will host a conference call and webcast, consisting of prepared remarks by management, a slide presentation, and a question-and-answer session at 1:30 PM PT/4:30 PM ET on Wednesday, March 26, 2025 to discuss the financial results and provide a business update. Analysts and investors may pose questions to management during the live webcast on March 26, 2025.

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; bargain purchase gain; gains and losses on derivatives and disposals; share-based compensation; impairment charges; 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.

It should be recognized that other factors, including general economic factors and business strategies, may be significant, now or in the future, and the factors set forth in this release may affect the Company to a greater extent than indicated.
