"In the industrial machine vision market, we powered the market's first end-to-end camera-to-processor MIPI A-PHY platform from D3 Embedded. In medical, we announced our first three product launches for the high-growth-potential endoscopy vertical. In automotive, our partner Sony Semiconductor Solutions brought to market a highly innovative A-PHY camera offering, and the standard received yet another strong endorsement from market leader Samsung." "Additionally, Valens' Board of Directors has appointed a new CEO, Yoram Salinger, who will take over on November 13, 2025," continued Ben-Zvi. "On a personal note, I'd like to express that it has been a privilege to lead the Valens team over the last five years. I'm confident that in his position as the next CEO of Valens, Yoram will accelerate Valens' growth and strengthen its position as a leader in high-performance connectivity across industries." "The third quarter marks our sixth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, underscoring the strength and consistency of our performance. Looking ahead, our fourth quarter guidance reflects our expectation for continued momentum," said Guy Nathanzon, CFO of Valens. Q3 2025 Financial Highlights: Q3 2025 revenues reached $17.3 million, exceeding our guidance of $15.1-$15.6 million, compared to $17.1 million in Q2 2025 and $16.0 million in Q3 2024. Q3 2025 Cross-Industry Business ("CIB") revenues accounted for approximately 75% of total revenues at $13.2 million compared to $12.8 million in Q2 2025 and $9.4 million in Q3 2024. Q3 2025 Automotive revenues accounted for approximately 25% of total revenues at $4.1 million, compared to $4.3 million in Q2 2025 and $6.6 million in Q3 2024. Q3 2025 GAAP gross margin was 63.0% (non-GAAP gross margin was 66.7%), above the guidance of 58%-60%. This is compared to a GAAP gross margin of 63.5% for Q2 2025 and 56.4% for Q3 2024 (non-GAAP gross margin of 67.2% in Q2 2025 and 60.7% in Q3 2024). On a segment basis, Q3 2025 gross margin from the CIB was 69.1% and gross margin from Automotive was 43.2%. This compares to a Q2 2025 gross margin of 67.8% and 50.5%, respectively, and Q3 2024 gross margin of 70.3% and 36.8%, respectively. The decrease in Q3 2025 automotive gross margin compared to Q2 2025 was due to product versions mix and certain operational expenses related to manufacturing line transition. The increase in gross margin of the CIB compared to Q2 2025 was due to a change in product mix. Q3 2025 GAAP net loss amounted to $(7.3) million, compared to a net loss of $(7.2) million in Q2 2025 and a net loss of $(10.4) million in Q3 2024. Q3 2025 adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(4.3) million, better than the guidance range of a $(7.4)-$(6.8) million adjusted EBITDA loss. This compares to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(4.0) million in Q2 2025 and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(5.1) million in Q3 2024. Cash balance as of September 30, 2025, was $93.5 million and no debt. This compares to a cash balance of $102.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and $131.0 million as of December 31, 2024. During Q3 2025, the company allocated $3.6 million for the share repurchase program, and a total of $23.4 million between January 1, 2025, and September 30, 2025. Currently there is no active share repurchase program. Q3 2025 Business Highlights: Customer demand exceeded expectations in the ProAV market, resulted in higher than expected revenues in Q3 2025 Marked the VA7000's first three product launches in the medical industry for endoscopes, including the first single-use colonoscope with 4K video resolution Sony Semiconductor Solutions brought to market a highly innovative A-PHY camera offering, while the standard received another endorsement from market leader Samsung Announced the market's first end-to-end camera-to-processor MIPI A-PHY platform from D3 Embedded Board of Directors appointed Yoram Salinger as the new CEO and board member, effective November 13, 2025 Financial Outlook for Q4 and full year 2025 For Q4 2025, Valens expects revenues to range between $18.2 million to $18.9 million, gross margin to range between 58% to 60%, and adjusted EBITDA loss to range between $(4.6) to $(4.2) million.For the full year 2025, Valens expect revenues to range between $69.4 to $70.1 million, an increase of approximately 20% compared to the annual revenue of 2024. 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.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (U.S. Dollars in thousands) The following table provides a reconciliation of Net 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 and earnout liability, which may vary from period-to-period and certain batch production incident income (expenses). 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.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. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net Loss (7,321) (10,355) (22,813) (29,266) Adjusted to exclude the following: Change in fair value of Forfeiture Shares (1) (3) (1) (38) Change in earnout liability 744 264 81 292 Financial income, net (726) (1,885) (2,189) (3,659) Income taxes 14 14 128 52 Equity in earnings of investee (3) (4) (7) (21) Certain batch production incident income (expenses) (1,476) 2,249 (1,799) 2,249 Depreciation and amortization 743 823 2,271 1,758 Stock-based compensation expenses 3,729 3,760 11,670 11,259 Adjusted EBITDA Loss (4,297) (5,137) (12,659) (17,374) VALENS SEMICONDUCTOR LTD.
