Management Commentary
"2021 was a transformative year for Innoviz. We reached a design freeze for our automotive product InnovizOne and are now working to complete production readiness to launch our customer program," said Omer Keilaf, CEO and co-founder of Innoviz. "Entering the new year with five new pre-production programs as well as serial production programs at advanced stages of negotiations with several key car makers has put us on a trajectory for another successful year. We are well positioned to execute on our plans and we have the needed resources. Our direct engagements, new products, and software solutions give us tremendous confidence in our ability to further capture market share in the automotive industry, continue to penetrate new markets, and solidify our position as a leading LiDAR provider for the automotive industry and beyond."

Commercial Traction

- Obayashi Corporation, a major Japanese construction company, selected Innoviz's LiDAR for the new automated tower crane system Obayashi developed as part of its recently announced autonomous solutions for excavation equipment and the construction of concrete dams and backhoe loaders. Innoviz's LiDAR enables the autonomous operation of Obayashi's tower cranes, replacing manual crane operation and promoting safety and cost savings.

- Twinner, a German-based vehicle scanner provider for remarketing and inspection purposes, began testing InnovizOne LiDAR with its Digital Twinn® platform to enhance the capabilities of its sophisticated vehicle scanner. InnovizOne LiDAR will provide a high-quality 360-degree view of the vehicle in order to better assess, inspect and evaluate a vehicle's condition. 

- InnovizOne was integrated at three different companies for unique applications: (1) in primary sensors of the AD platform of Whale Dynamics, a Chinese "full stack" L4 autonomous driving developer focused on AD and intelligent traffic applications, (2) for object and obstacle detection in pre-mapped areas by an Asian integrator across passenger and non-passenger programs, and (3) in autonomous crane systems of Syracuse, an Israel-based developer of a system augmenting tower cranes with autonomous operating capabilities. 

Technology Leadership

Corporate Development
Increased employee headcount by 35 people in the fourth quarter of 2021, bringing the Company's total number of employees to 404 at year-end. The increase in headcount was driven by the need to support current and potential programs and new product development. Approximately 70% of the Company's employees are members of the Company's research and development team.

Full Year 2021 Financial Results
In 2021 Innoviz successfully closed a business combination with a SPAC, which provided over $370 million in gross proceeds. Innoviz's operating cash flow during 2021 was within its planned budget. At year-end, Innoviz maintained a high liquidity level consisting of $304 million in cash, short term deposits, and marketable securities, which enables the company to execute its 2022 plans. Revenues for 2021 were approximately $5.5 million, compared to $(9.4) million in 2020. InnovizOne-related revenues in 2021 were approximately $4.3 million, an increase of 28% compared to $3.3 million of InnovizOne-related revenues in 2020. The Company expects InnovizOne sales to continue to increase in 2022 and is also targeting to sell the first samples of InnovizTwo. 

Operating expenses for 2021 were approximately $152.6 million, an increase from $66.2 million in 2020. Operating expenses in 2021 included approximately $64.7 million of stock-based compensation compared to $3.2 million of stock-based compensation in 2020. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation and people-related expenses.

Research and development expenses for 2021 were approximately $93.3 million, an increase from $57.0 million in 2020. Research and development expenses in 2021 included approximately $25.5 million attributable to stock-based compensation compared to $2.6 million attributable to stock-based compensation in 2020.

Guidance
