Fourth quarter revenues reached $21.9
million, and net income was $2.8
million; Full year 2023 revenues reached $84.2 million with automotive revenues reaching
an annual record high
HOD HASHARON, Israel, Feb. 28,
2024 /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, 2023.
"Valens Semiconductor demonstrated both its resilience and
innovation in 2023. Against a backdrop of increasing headwinds in
the global semiconductor industry, we continued to expand our
engagements and partnerships and to enhance our lineup of
high-performance connectivity solutions with a focus on addressing
unmet needs and emerging trends," said Gideon Ben-Zvi, CEO of Valens Semiconductor.
"Revenues were at the top end of our guidance for both the fourth
quarter and the full year, reaching $21.9
million and $84.2 million,
respectively. Notably, automotive revenues delivered a record high,
contributing over 30% to total revenues.
"We implemented our vision for a holistic strategy that
leverages Valens Semiconductor's core technology to power
cross-industry innovation and are well-positioned to benefit from
positive long-term trends in videoconferencing, education,
industrial, medical imaging, and automotive. For example, the
advantages of our technology make it an optimal connectivity
solution to support the increasing need for AI-based applications
in robust connectivity solutions that allow the distribution of
ever-increasing data.
"As more corporations implement return-to-office policies, our
offerings are increasingly relevant for all types of meeting rooms,
from large corporate board rooms to small huddle rooms, as well as
small office/home office setups. We also identified a large
opportunity that solves the growing requirement for a
cost-effective long-range single-chip solution for multi-Gig
connectivity in videoconferencing, IT, industrial and medical
applications. The introduction of our VS6320 chipset for USB3.2
extension opens new prospects for us, especially in end markets
that we are targeting for expansion. For example, we can increase
our current foothold in the industrial sector by addressing its
unmet demand for high bandwidth and resilience required by AI-
based computer vision. This ground-breaking chipset has already
garnered industry recognition and is expected to drive
opportunities in several verticals.
"2023 was also our first full year of selling our chipsets into
a broad range of Mercedes-Benz models, which was reflected in our
record auto sales this year. We are also seeing progress on the
vehicle safety and ADAS front based on participating in a growing
number of evaluation processes for our VA7000 MIPI
A-PHY-compliant chipsets. While the automotive sector is currently
experiencing softer demand and slower decision-making around new
technology adoption, there is much anticipation surrounding our
offerings, such as with our strategic partnership for our
next-generation A-PHY-compliant chipsets with Intel Foundry
Services and the introduction of the VA700R chipset for the
trucking industry. The progress we have made to date highlights our
focus on advancing connectivity and safety solutions in the
automotive market.
"Valens Semiconductor remains committed to leading the market in
advanced high-performance connectivity chips. We entered 2024 with
a strong balance sheet, which includes $142.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. This
financial flexibility allows us to continue investing in
innovations and pursuing growth opportunities. Looking ahead, I am
confident that Valens Semiconductor is well positioned with a
highly relevant and compelling set of solutions to meet evolving
customer demands when the market tailwinds return," concluded
Ben-Zvi.
Key Financial Highlights
- Fourth quarter 2023 revenues reached $21.9 million, compared to $23.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022
- GAAP gross margin was 61.7% for the fourth quarter 2023 (non-GAAP
gross margin was 63.1%). This compared to GAAP gross margin 68.3%
for the fourth quarter 2022 (and non-GAAP gross margin of 69.2%).
The year-over-year change was mostly due to the larger share of
automotive revenue compared to audio-video, which has much higher
gross margin
- GAAP Net Income increased to $2.8
million in the fourth quarter 2023, up from a Net Loss of
$(7.3) million in the fourth quarter
2022

increasing to $2.2 million, up from
$(4.6) million in the fourth quarter
2022
- Full year revenues reached $84.2
million in 2023, compared to $90.7
million in 2022
- Audio-video revenues accounted for 68.2%, reaching $57.4 million compared to $74.5 million in 2022, as customers worked
through excess inventory which slowed the pace of orders
- Automotive revenues accounted for 31.8% reaching a record of
$26.8 million, up from $16.2 million in 2022
- 2023 full year GAAP gross margin was 62.5% (non-GAAP gross margin
was 63.9%). This compared to 2022 full year GAAP gross margin was
69.9% (and non-GAAP gross margin of 70.7%)
- Full year 2023 GAAP Net Loss was $(19.7)
million, better than a Net Loss of $(27.7) million in 2022
- Adjusted EBITDA loss in 2023 was $(10.3)
million, better than the $(14.9)
million recorded in 2022
- Robust balance sheet of $142.0
million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits,
and no debt, as of December 31, 2023,
compared to $142.7 at the end of
September 2023, and $148.4 million at the end of December 31, 2022
- Inventory balance of $13.8
million on December 31, 2023,
down from $16.9 million on
September 30, 2023, and $23.8 million on December

Financial Outlook
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.
"As with the rest of the semiconductor industry, Valens
Semiconductor continues to encounter challenging macroeconomic
conditions and shorter lead times which influence ordering and
inventory consumption patterns. For the first quarter of 2024,
revenues are now expected to range between $11.0 million and $11.2
million. Gross margin is expected to range between 52.2% and
53.0%, and adjusted EBITDA loss is expected to be in the range of
$(9.7) million and $(9.1) million", said Guy Nathanzon, CFO of
Valens Semiconductor.
"Looking ahead, Valens Semiconductor's growth prospects for the
medium and longer term remain positive. However, the current
environment is currently impacting our visibility and is likely to
lead to a challenging first half. As such, second quarter 2024
revenues are expected to be relatively flat compared to the first
quarter of 2024. Once the industry recovers, we will be ready to
continue executing our growth plan with an even broader portfolio,"
concluded Nathanzon.

2. As of the last day of the period.
3. Non-GAAP Gross Margin is defined as: GAAP
Gross Profit excluding share-based compensation and depreciation
expenses, divided by revenue. For the three months ended December
31, 2023, and 2022, share-based compensation and depreciation
expenses were $328 thousand and $202 thousand, respectively. For
the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, share-based
compensation and depreciation expenses were $1,200 thousand and
$712 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 of Forfeiture Shares, 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. 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.
5. See reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial
measures.

VALENS SEMICONDUCTOR

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(U.S. Dollars in thousands)
|
The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income (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 fair value of Forfeiture
Shares, 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
income (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.
