MicroVision Announces First Quarter 2026 Results

 

REDMOND, WA / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2026 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), defining the next generation of lidar-based perception solutions, today announced its first quarter 2026 results.

 

Key Business and Operational Highlights

 

Completed value-enhancing asset acquisitions from Luminar Technologies and Scantinel Photonics, accelerating commercial strategy and expanding product portfolio with two 1550nm ToF long-range lidar sensors, IRIS and HALO, and a 1550nm FMCW ultra-long-range lidar sensor.

 

Advanced commercial momentum in the Industrial and Security & Defense sectors with new and repeating orders for MOVIA L short-range sensors, IRIS long-range sensors, and integrated software.

 

Redefined a new era for lidar, leading with a product portfolio that supports a wide array of applications in many verticals, open software that lowers system cost and expands capability, and high-quality solutions that perform at the right price.

 

Accelerated near-term revenue opportunities and amplified customer engagement, actively shipping sensors from existing and acquired inventory.

 

Expanded industry-leading product portfolio, with short-, mid-, long-, and ultra-long-range lidar solutions, featuring a mix of solid-state sensors with varying wavelengths, advanced sensor architectures, design-to-cost engineering, and open software solutions.

 

Streamlined post-acquisition operating expenses, with reduction in global workforce by approximately 15% and consolidation of engineering and operations functions from Redmond to Orlando location.

 

“We feel very good about our accelerating progress throughout the first quarter, establishing a strong foundation and boldly executing on our strategy to transform the lidar industry,” said Glen DeVos, MicroVision’s Chief Executive Officer. “Following the Q1 asset acquisitions from Luminar and Scantinel, we’ve successfully incorporated the technologies and products, integrated the teams, and streamlined operations. Our broad product portfolio, ready-to-ship sensor inventories, and diversified product roadmap have allowed us to stabilize and strengthen existing commercial relationships while building new opportunities and partnerships.”

 

“We’ve taken on the challenge of redefining lidar, and it is exciting to see the future taking shape,” concluded DeVos.

 

Key Financial Highlights for Q1 2026

 

Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.9 million, compared to $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of a greater volume of sensors shipped during the first quarter of 2026.

 

 

 

 

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $23.9 million, compared to $14.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, with the increase primarily relating to costs stemming from the acquisitions and related integration activities completed during the first quarter of 2026.

 

Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $25.3 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $28.8 million, or $0.12 per share, for the first quarter of 2025.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was a $17.2 million loss, compared to a $10.7 million loss for the first quarter of 2025.

 

Cash used in operations in the first quarter of 2026 was $16.4 million, compared to cash used in operations in the first quarter of 2025 of $14.1 million.

 

The Company ended the first quarter of 2026 with $46.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, including investment securities, compared to $74.8 million at December 31, 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; 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.
