Foresight reported a GAAP net loss of \$3.8 million for the fourth quarter 2022, compared to a GAAP net loss of \$3.7 million for the fourth quarter 2021, and a non-GAAP net loss of \$3.4 million for the fourth quarter 2022, compared to a non-GAAP loss of \$3.3 million for the fourth quarter 2021.
● Foresight Hosts Virtual Investor Webinar on Moving to Commercialization in Automotive Technology: In December, Foresight presented the Company's progress in developing and distributing new technologies for the automotive industry in a virtual investor webinar. The webinar provided an overview on the Company's progress in different regional markets, as well as information regarding existing relationships with customers including Hitachi Astemo Americas and SUNWAY-AI.
"Foresight gained significant momentum during the fourth quarter of 2022 with the announcement of our commercial agreement with SUNWAY-AI, a leading Chinese manufacturer of components for autonomous and unmanned intelligent vehicles," said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. "This agreement is an important step forward for our operations in China, and it validates our long-term strategy of establishing deep working relationships with partners in various geographies including China, Japan, Europe and North America. As more technology providers and Tier One manufacturers test and evaluate our innovative solutions, we are excited about the potential that these evaluations may convert into long-term commercial agreements.
As the electric vehicle (EV) market reaches a crucial tipping point, safety and reliability must be addressed to ensure widespread adoption. Foresight's quad-camera vision system is a vital solution to support safe and reliable operations of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles in any lighting or weather conditions. In addition, Foresight's Mono2Stereo™ software-based solution creates a 3D perception stereo vision thus amplifying the performance of existing ADAS sensors and resulting in better distance accuracy and more robust active safety features. Through our continued research and development (R&D), technological demonstrations, and commercial relationships, we intend to capitalize on this market opportunity and establish Foresight as an essential supplier for the global automotive industry," concluded Siboni.
