MicroVision Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

 

REDMOND, WA / ACCESSWIRE / March 4, 2026 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), defining the next generation of lidar-based perception solutions, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results.

 

Key Business and Operational Highlights

 

Advanced commercial momentum in the Industrial and Security & Defense sectors with an initial shipment in December on repeatable orders for MOVIA L sensors with integrated software.

 

Began early integration work with new southern Germany team, establishing roadmap for FMCW ultra-long-range lidar sensor based on assets acquired from Scantinel Photonics GmbH.

 

Paved the way in Q4 for the early 2026 closing of important strategic acquisition of lidar business assets from Luminar Technologies, Inc., accelerating immediate revenue opportunities, further diversifying product portfolio, and bringing active customer engagements.

 

Streamlined post-acquisition operating expenses, with 1H2026 plan to reduce global workforce by approximately 20% and consolidate engineering and operations functions from Redmond into Orlando location.

 

Strengthened balance sheet and cash position in February 2026 by issuing two senior secured convertible notes due March 2028 – one for approximately $20.6 million in exchange for a previously existing note due March 2026 and the other for approximately $22.4 million.

 

“We are pleased that our careful preparation in the fourth quarter of 2025, enabled us to hit the ground running in 2026,” said Glen DeVos, MicroVision’s Chief Executive Officer. “Just two months into 2026, we’re thrilled to have kicked off the transformation of MicroVision from an R&D company into an industry-leading commercial enterprise by shipping initial units on repeatable orders and closing two highly strategic asset acquisitions. We’re now seeing the early benefits of our careful planning, having completed the acquisitions of Luminar and Scantinel, diversified our product portfolio with an unmatched array of lidar-based perception solutions, secured inventory and commenced shipping product on new and transferred purchase orders, and taken concrete action to enhance our cash position and control operating expenses.”

 

Continued DeVos, “With this early momentum, we are committed to redefining the lidar industry by delivering the right solution with the right performance at the right price to a wide range of customers, in automotive, industrial, and security & defense markets.”

 

“We have purposefully built MicroVision to lead in this new era of lidar: Lidar 2.0,” concluded DeVos.

 

 

 

 

Key Financial Highlights for Q4 2025 and Full Year 2025

 

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.2 million, compared to $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $37.8 million, or $0.12 per share, which includes $29.4 million of non-cash charges related to asset impairment and inventory write-downs partially offset by a net credit of $1.5 million of non-cash, share-based compensation expense, compared to a net loss of $31.2 million, or $0.14 per share, which includes $1.9 million of non-cash charges related to inventory write-downs and $2.0 million of non-cash, share-based compensation expense, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was a $12.0 million loss, compared to a $10.6 million loss for the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Cash used in operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $15.4 million, compared to cash used in operations in the fourth quarter of 2024 of $15.1 million.

 

The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2025 with $74.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, including investment securities, compared to $74.7 million at December 31, 2024.

 

Subsequent to the fourth quarter, the Company strengthened its financial position by issuing senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $43.0 million through an agreement with High Trail Capital. The New Notes were issued in part in exchange for an existing senior secured convertible note due March 2026, thereby deferring repayment obligations, and also to bolster the Company’s balance sheet. The New Notes are redeemable, subject to certain conditions, in shares of the Company’s common stock or in cash (with the form of payment being at the election of the Company). In addition, the Company has $43.0 million remaining under its existing ATM, or at-the-market, facility, subject to certain market conditions.

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; non-cash gains and losses; share-based compensation; restructuring costs; severance expense; and impairment charges. 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.
