Exhibit 99.1 MicroVision Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results and Highlights Commercial Momentum Across Multiple Markets Advancing Lidar 2.0 strategy with expanding customer engagements, new product launches, strengthened leadership team, improved cash burn guidance, and growing c
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can update models for revenue trajectory, operating expense run-rate, and cash runway using the new quarterly numbers and the improved full-year cash burn guidance of about $60M. The reverse split and reduced cash balance are key risk factors for near-term positioning.
Market read
A primary quarterly update with new cash burn guidance and a completed reverse split, likely to drive repricing of cash runway and commercialization credibility.
What to watch
The reverse split (1-for-15) can affect liquidity and technical trading behavior, while the disclosed access to $68.4M capital is conditional and may still require additional financing to sustain the Lidar 2.0 roadmap.

Analysis
MicroVision reported Q2 2026 revenue of $1.5 million, compared to $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. The company attributed the increase primarily to a greater volume of sensors shipped and development revenue. Commercial activity included the MOVIA™ Air launch, shipments of IRIS and MOVIA sensors, customer evaluations across target markets, and a long-term development agreement involving IRIS lidar for autonomous hauling vehicles.
The improved revenue level did not offset a materially higher cost base. Total operating expenses were $24.9 million, compared to $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, with the increase primarily related to acquisitions and related integration and consolidation activity. GAAP net loss was $36.9 million, or $1.66 per share, versus a $14.2 million loss, or $0.84 per share, in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was a $18.8 million loss compared with a $11.2 million loss.
Cash usage and liquidity remain central considerations. Cash used in operations was $19.1 million, including non-recurring payments related to acquisition and consolidation activities, compared with $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. The company ended the quarter with $27.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, including investment securities, compared with $74.8 million at December 31, 2025. It also disclosed access to $68.4 million of capital, subject to certain conditions, including $41.2 million under its existing ATM facility, and expects future financing activities to support its strategic plan.
Management improved full-year cash burn guidance to approximately $60 million, citing expected second-half normalization following non-recurring first-half cash usage, operational discipline and acquisition synergies. The disclosed outlook does not provide revenue, gross-margin, operating-expense or tax-rate targets. The operating narrative emphasizes expansion beyond automotive into industrial, security and defense, robotics and autonomous aerial markets, but the reported financial results still show a low revenue base, elevated losses and continued dependence on liquidity management and financing availability.
Management, verbatim
Our second quarter demonstrates that MicroVision has evolved into a commercially focused perception company with the products, technology, leadership and operational discipline needed to compete across multiple high-growth markets. Our Lidar 2.0 strategy is translating into meaningful commercial momentum and a path to near-term and future revenue.
Glen DeVos, Chief Executive Officer of MicroVision

AlphAI analysis generated from the company’s SEC earnings filing (Form 8-K Item 2.02, or Form 6-K for a foreign private issuer). Every figure was cross-checked against the filing text; consensus estimates, price targets and share-price reactions are not shown because they are not in the filing. AI-generated research, not investment advice.
Background
MicroVision filed an SEC 8-K (Item 2.02) with Q2 2026 results and operational updates tied to its Lidar 2.0 strategy, including product launches and customer evaluation activity.
Ticker impact
MicroVision reported Q2 2026 revenue of $1.5M, cash burn guidance of about $60M for full-year, and a 1-for-15 reverse split effective Aug 1.
Near-term volatility likely around the cash balance drop, ongoing losses, and the new cash-burn guidance, with upside contingent on commercial traction.
This is a primary SEC 8-K with new quarterly financials, updated cash burn guidance, and a completed reverse split. However, the article does not provide consensus-beating revenue targets or a clear path to profitability, limiting directional conviction.
Market effects
Adds datapoints on lidar commercialization progress (Lidar 2.0, MOVIA Air, IRIS integration) and ongoing cash burn needs typical for the sector.
Limited direct regional spillover; primarily US-listed microcap sentiment in advanced perception/lidar.
Modest, as the disclosed OEM development agreement and product launches are company-specific rather than industry-wide regulatory or supply shocks.
Counterpoint
Commercial momentum language may not translate into near-term revenue durability, given Q2 revenue remains small and cash fell materially from $74.8M at Dec 31 to $27.2M at quarter-end.
