Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We believe Atlas will unlock the industry's ability to adopt FMCW for highway speed automation at scale
We're off to a strong start in 2024 with even more commercial momentum driven by the unique performance and maturity of Aeva 4D LiDAR, combined with our financial strength to win and support additional customers
As one of the world's largest commercial OEMs and a leader in deploying new technologies, Daimler Truck is very committed and well positioned to commercialize highway autonomy at scale
As a result our significant level of capital provides Aeva a multi-year runway and we expect to maintain a solid balance sheet as we continue executing on our plan
And I think with some of the timelines of OEM shifting also towards a timing that actually aligns further and better with our timeline, the ‘26 SOP and further, we see this as quite positive for us
And this is really exciting for us
And fourth, we exited 2023 in a strong financial position
We are excited to build on our commercial momentum in 2024 with expectations to increase product sales and add new programs
The Daimler Truck series production program is a breakthrough win for Aeva and a significant positive development for the industry, not only for the size of the opportunity, but also the validation of our technology and maturity from one of the largest and most repeatable commercial vehicle OEMs in the world
This positions us well to support both our existing production programs beyond their SOPs and secure additional production win
So I think, pretty exciting opportunity for us
We continue to be disciplined and effective in managing operating expenses, which came in slightly lower year-over-year and better than our 2023 annual outlook
Importantly, Daimler Truck is also a leader in commercializing new technology, being first to deploy level 2 capabilities in series production in North America in 2019
The adoption of FMCW technology is gaining traction and we expect to continue to drive this in 2024
I am incredibly proud of what Aeva accomplished in 2023
Yeah, so first of all, we're really excited with the momentum that we're seeing in automotive, especially with an uptick increasing since our win with Daimler Truck as we start the year strong
This is a strong validation of the fundamental advantages of FMCW where long-range, instant velocity, and immunity to interference can enable safe, autonomous operation at highway speeds
With plans to ramp to significant volumes, Daimler Truck views Aeva’s LiDAR on-chip technology with a fibreless silicon-based architecture and our manufacturing capability as key differentiators that will enable us to support the production ramp
We are incredibly proud to have received the highest rating category for manufacturing readiness and the confidence of Daimler Truck in Aeva to act as a Tier 1 supplier for the series production program
We reached a number of critical milestones that we believe puts us in a strong position to continue to lead in a growing adoption of FMCW LiDAR in automotive and beyond
And the agreement includes minimum volume commitments and obviously a key differentiation with the industrial side of convert to automotive is that it has strong ASPs that are significantly higher
Daimler Truck is incredibly well positioned as a global leader in commercial vehicles with volumes north of 500,000 units annually
Following our Daimler Truck production win, we have seen an uptick in our momentum in automotive
With our strong balance sheet and strategic approach in investing, we are well positioned to execute on our plan and deliver on the growing momentum around FMCW
Aligned with our strategy, our focus is on winning large production programs with customers well positioned to commercialize at scale
Yeah, so on the revenue front, we are seeing strong momentum in both industrial and automotive
They continue to make strong progress from hardware, including sensors, to the software stack, keeping them on track for series production commercialization by 2027
So we feel pretty good about this
And as I mentioned, we're expecting a number of these award decisions to already happen soon, right? So I think this Daimler Truck win has really allowed us to come onto the field with being a Tier 1 supplier
We are seeing increasing number of shipments in ‘24, and we expect full year revenue in ‘24 to grow by at least 100%
