Velodyne Lidar Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP information is provided in the tables below.

Business Outlook and 2021 Guidance

“As we are refining our engineering and production processes to meet customer expectations for consistency of performance, in the third quarter we shifted approximately $4.3 million of product sales out to the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022. We now expect our full year 2021 revenue guidance to range between $60 million and $63 million, which does not include any contribution in the fourth quarter from non-recurring engineering fees,” concluded Hamer.

For the full year of 2021,

  • Revenue is now expected to range between $60 and $63 million, driven by shipments of product to the company’s global customer base. There are no non-recurring engineering (NRE) fees included in the forecast, and contribution from these efforts would be upside to the guidance range.
  • The company expects to produce and ship more than 15,000 sensors, up approximately 28% compared to 2020.
  • Non-GAAP Gross margins are expected to range between negative 8% and 10%. This reflects weighted ASP and volume mix, and the delay in moving manufacturing offshore. On a GAAP basis, gross margins will include approximately $2.3 million of stock-based compensation expense.
  • On a non-GAAP basis, operating expenses are expected to range between $125 and $129 million. General and administrative expenses are expected to increase by approximately 55% in 2021 due to increased public company and legal expenses. On a GAAP basis, operating expense will include approximately $89 million of stock-based compensation expense.
  • On a GAAP basis, income tax expense is anticipated to be approximately $800,000.
  • Weighted average shares outstanding for the year are estimated to be 193.9 million.

The company remains on track to sign three more multiyear agreements by December 31, 2021, bringing its total to 38 multiyear agreements.

As of the end of the third quarter, Velodyne estimates that it could have the opportunity for approximately $800 million of revenue from signed and awarded projects through 2025. The company estimates a pipeline of projects that are not yet signed and awarded of $4.2 billion through 2025.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements regarding our financial outlook and market positioning. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "project", "plan", "intend", "believe", "may", "will", "should", "can have", "likely" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including: the impact on our operations and financial condition from the effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic both on Velodyne’s business and those of its customers and suppliers; Velodyne’s ability to execute its business plan; the timing of revenue from existing customers, including uncertainties related to the ability of Velodyne’s customers to commercialize their products and the ultimate market acceptance of these products; uncertainties related to Velodyne Lidar’s estimates of the size of the markets for its products and future revenue opportunities, including projects that are not yet signed or awarded; the rate and degree of market acceptance of Velodyne Lidar’s products; the success of other competing lidar and sensor-related products and services that exist or may become available; rising costs adversely affecting Velodyne’s profitability; uncertainties related to Velodyne Lidar’s current litigation and potential litigation involving Velodyne Lidar or the validity or enforceability of Velodyne Lidar’s intellectual property; Velodyne Lidar’s ability to partner with and rely on third party manufacturers; general economic and market conditions impacting demand for Velodyne Lidar’s products and services; and changes in applicable laws or regulations.

Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect Velodyne Lidar’s operating results, you should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, or use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The forward-looking statements included in this press release relate only to events as of the date hereof. Velodyne Lidar undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we believe the non‑GAAP measures of non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non‑GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP other income (expenses), non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-GAAP net loss, non‑GAAP net loss per share, and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our operating performance. Certain of these non-GAAP measures exclude stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, litigation settlements, gain from sale of held-for-sale assets, write-off of deferred IPO costs, gain from forgiveness of PPP loan, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles assets, restructuring, and discrete tax items. We believe that non‑GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non‑GAAP information to supplement their GAAP results. The non‑GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly‑titled non‑GAAP measures used by other companies. Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are used in this press release. The impact of these items in future periods is uncertain and depends on various factors. Accordingly, a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP operating income is not available without unreasonable effort.
