THE CEO‘S COMMENTS

«2025 was a year of meaningful transformation, even as we continued to face significant top-line pressure. This transformation laid the foundation for a refocused strategic direction as we move into 2026. As part of this shift, we transitioned the zForce platform into maintenance mode to intensify our focus on our MultiSensing technology platform and direct our efforts and investments toward computer vision and machine learning technology leadership,» said Daniel Alexus, President & CEO of Neonode.

«We also realigned our go-to-market approach by unifying our sales and marketing organizations and appointing a new Executive Vice President for Sales & Marketing to our leadership team – now consisting of the CEO, CFO, EVP Product & Engineering, and EVP Sales & Marketing. We believe this unified and strengthened structure positions us to execute on our strategy with a strong commercial focus and alignment around our MultiSensing platform and target markets.»

«Within MultiSensing, we prioritized customer delivery throughout the year, which culminated with the start of production with our previously announced commercial vehicle OEM in December – an important validation of our solution maturity and commercial readiness. While our legacy zForce business continued its expected decline as part of the planned transition, we experienced growth with NEXTY Electronics as they moved their zForce-based next-generation amusement systems into production late in the year,» Mr. Alexus continued.

«In 2026, our focus is squarely on driving growth for our MultiSensing business. This includes expanding license revenues from our first DMS production customer and advancing additional strategic partnerships across the automotive industry. Although automotive OEMs are navigating cost pressures, geopolitical uncertainty, and consolidation, the in-cabin sensing market remains on a long-term growth trajectory, driven by regulatory requirements, advancements in autonomy, and heightened expectations for enhanced cabin experiences.»

«Beyond automotive, we are also evaluating additional growth verticals where MultiSensing offers a strong product-market fit and we can shorten time to revenue for our investments into our technology platform,» Mr. Alexus concluded.
