Innoviz Technologies Ltd. reported third‑quarter 2025 results that saw revenue climb to $15.3 million, a 242% increase from $4.5 million in the same period a year earlier. Operating expenses fell to $18.1 million from $26.0 million a year ago, while the company posted a net loss of $15.42 million, a significant improvement from the $24.86 million loss reported in Q3 2024. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $74.4 million, and cash burn for the quarter was $14 million, up from $7.3 million in Q2 2025.
The revenue surge was driven by a sharp uptick in shipments of automotive‑grade LiDAR sensors and a broadened customer base for the InnovizSMART line, which serves non‑automotive markets such as perimeter security. The 238% year‑over‑year growth reflects both higher unit volumes and a favorable mix shift toward higher‑margin automotive contracts. In contrast, the non‑automotive segment grew at a slower pace, partially offsetting the overall margin compression seen in the quarter.
Operating expenses were trimmed through disciplined cost management and a reduction in research and development spend relative to the prior year. Despite the expense reduction, the company remains in the loss cycle because it continues to invest heavily in scaling production and expanding its product portfolio. The net loss narrowed to $15.42 million from $24.86 million a year earlier, largely due to the revenue lift and operating leverage, but the company still incurs a loss as it prioritizes growth over short‑term profitability.
Cash burn rose to $14 million in Q3 2025 from $7.3 million in Q2 2025, reflecting the ramp‑up of manufacturing capacity and the execution of new contracts. The company’s cash balance of $74.4 million provides a comfortable runway for continued investment in product development and market expansion, while the higher burn signals an intensifying push to capture market share in both automotive and industrial sectors.
Management reiterated its full‑year 2025 revenue guidance of $50 million to $60 million, a range unchanged from earlier guidance, indicating confidence in sustaining the current growth trajectory. CEO Omer Keilaf highlighted the quarter as a “moment of financial and operational momentum,” noting that the company expects to meet all full‑year targets. The announcement also confirmed a selection for a Level‑4 autonomous truck production program with a major commercial‑vehicle OEM and the rollout of the InnovizThree platform, which offers a smaller form factor and lower power consumption.
The results underscore a clear tailwind in demand for LiDAR technology, while headwinds remain in the form of ongoing losses and margin pressure from higher raw‑material costs and a mix shift toward lower‑margin non‑automotive sales. Nonetheless, the company’s strategic wins—particularly the autonomous truck program and the InnovizThree platform—position it to capture additional market share and potentially accelerate profitability as production scales. The guidance and management’s emphasis on cost discipline suggest a cautious but optimistic outlook for the remainder of 2025.
