We are executing against this trend by closing deals with customers across a variety of markets, as evidenced by our growing product pipeline and our success meeting our full year 2021 goal of 34 multiyear agreements already by August 1st. We expect to continue this momentum with four additional multiyear agreements by year end.

“We continue to advance our industry leading technology as well. On the hardware side, in June we launched the next generation of our Velabit sensor, demonstrating our ability to meet market demands by addressing the cost, safety, and design challenges of autonomous solutions while delivering state-of-the-art performance. On the software side, on July 29th we unveiled a new software development kit which allows customers to utilize the advanced capabilities of our Vella lidar perception software in their autonomous solutions. Velodyne is the only lidar company currently manufacturing an off-the-shelf, full software and hardware solution that can be put into vehicles and infrastructure. As a result, we are the only lidar company providing a full circle of safety and autonomy as we continue our mission to democratize lidar-based safety and autonomy.”

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

Business Outlook and 2021 Guidance

As of the end of the second quarter, Velodyne estimates that it could have the opportunity for over $1.0 billion of revenue from signed and awarded projects through 2025. The company has recently signed new ADAS multiyear agreements, which are expected to begin to ramp starting in 2026. The company estimates a pipeline of projects that are not yet signed and awarded of $4.5 billion through 2025. In addition, Velodyne continues to invest in scalable lidar architectures, advanced manufacturing technology and software solutions. This underpins the company’s long-term expectations of non-GAAP gross margin percentage ranging in the mid to high 50s and Adjusted EBITDA margin of more than 20%.

Having already met its prior target of 34 multiyear agreements for the full year 2021, the company has raised its goal and now anticipates signing four more multiyear agreements to bring its total to 38 multiyear agreements by December 31, 2021.

For the full year of 2021,

  • Revenue is expected to range between $77 and $94 million. Velodyne’s revenue comes from a global customer base, to whom the company is actively shipping product. In addition, the company is working towards securing a few large projects with significant non-recurring engineering (NRE) fees in the second half of 2021.
  • Non-GAAP Gross margins are expected to range between 13% and 24%. This reflects fewer units sold to cover remaining fixed overhead costs of the company’s factory in San Jose offset by the benefit of higher NRE revenues. On a GAAP basis, gross margins will include approximately $2 million of stock-based compensation expense.
  • On a non-GAAP basis, operating expenses are expected to range between $125 and $129 million. Based upon the visibility provided by the company’s multi-year agreement pipeline, Velodyne is increasing its spend in new product development by approximately 40% in 2021. General and administrative expenses are expected to increase by approximately 35% in 2021 due to increased public company and legal expenses. On a GAAP basis, operating expense will include approximately $87 million of stock-based compensation expense with $42 million in sales and marketing related to Velodyne’s 2020 merger with Graf Industrial and $8 million related to the recent departure of the company’s CEO.
  • 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 193.5 million.

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 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, 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.
