What's Going On With Innoviz Technologies Stock Monday?

Innoviz Technologies Ltd INVZ shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced a multi-year payment plan expected to bolster its financial position.

What Happened: Innoviz said it entered into a multi-year NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering services) payment plan of approximately $80 million with key existing customers.

$40 million is expected to be paid in 2025 with further amounts expected in 2026 and 2027. Innoviz said the payments will be incremental to revenues generated from ongoing sales of LiDAR products based on existing and new orders.

“NREs are essential to strategically funding our operations and reaching the start of production for several customers in 2026, and with this plan with our key customers we are poised to start 2025 from a position of financial strength,” said Omer Keilaf, founder and CEO of Innoviz.

“We believe it is clear that our customers trust our ability to support the next generation of autonomous vehicles and meet their demands through Innoviz’s superior technology and ability to bring LiDARs to production. The expected NRE payments announced today, taken together with customer programs entering production, strengthen the financial foundation of the Company and position Innoviz to deliver significant value in the years to come.”
