MicroVision Reiterates Revenue Guidance and Provides Updates on OEM Engagements

REDMOND, Wash. – Dec. 14, 2023 – MicroVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: MVIS), a leader in MEMS-based solid-state automotive lidar technology and ADAS solutions, today reiterated its 2023 revenue guidance and provided updates on engagement with OEMs.

“As we wrap up a year of strong growth and momentum for MicroVision, we want to give a brief update to shareholders about where we are and where we’re going,” said Sumit Sharma, MicroVision’s Chief Executive Officer. “Consistent with our previous statement, we expect our 2023 revenue to be near the top end of the $6.5 - $8.0 million range. Looking ahead, I am excited about opportunities to ramp revenue from non-automotive markets through our direct sales channel.”

“In addition, on strategic sales, our forward momentum with multiple potential customers continues, but we are pushing out our expectations of nomination timing into the first quarter of 2024. We feel confident in our engagement with OEMs as we are receiving demand for large orders of samples ahead of nomination,” continued Sharma. “Deep discussions continue as we work through the commercial terms of these significant and market-changing partnerships.”
