First Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights

Revenue: Total revenue for the first quarter of 2016 was $75.2 million, compared to $45.6 million in the prior-year period. Within total revenue, original equipment manufacturing (OEM) revenue was $61.4 million, compared to $36.6 million in the prior-year period. EyeQ chip volume increased 62% year-over-year to 1,322 thousand EyeQ units, compared to 817 thousand units in the prior-year period. The EyeQ Average Selling Price (ASP) per unit for the first quarter of 2016 was $44.2, up from $43.7 during the same period last year. After market (AM) revenue contributed the remaining $13.8 million of total revenue for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $9.0 million in the prior-year period.

Net Income and Earnings per Share: GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $21.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net income of $10.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2015. GAAP results include share-based compensation expense of $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2015.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $35.0 million, or $0.15 per share, based on 236.9 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $18.2 million, or $0.08 per share, based on 237.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the first quarter of 2015.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release. An explanation of the non-GAAP financial measures and how they are calculated is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements. Words such as "believes," "intends," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," and "future" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions based on the Company's current expectations and projections about future events. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Many factors may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement, including the risk factors and other matters set forth in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors as a supplement to GAAP measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures also provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with those of other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or considered as an alternative to, operating income (loss), net income (loss), earnings per share or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reason we consider them appropriate. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Non-GAAP net income (loss). To arrive at our non-GAAP net income (loss), we exclude share-based compensation expense from our GAAP net income (loss). We believe that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:

We believe that elimination of share-based compensation expense is appropriate because treatment of this item may vary for reasons unrelated to our overall operating performance;
We use this non-GAAP measure in conjunction with our GAAP financial measure for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance; and
We believe that this non-GAAP measure provides better comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates better period-to-period comparisons of operating results and may facilitate comparisons with similar companies, many of which may also use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP reporting.

Free cash flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. Free cash flow is important to reflect the cash that can allow us to pursue business strategies and opportunities and fulfill our goals. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means of evaluating our company is that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period because it excludes cash used for capital expenditures during the period. Management compensates for this limitation by providing information about our capital expenditures on the face of the cash flow statement.

From time to time, we may also provide guidance regarding projected Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) on an aggregate and per share basis. We cannot provide a reconciliation of our projected non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) to projected GAAP Net Income (Loss) for any future period due to the fluctuations of our stock price and the limited availability of historical stock price information due to our recent IPO, which impact share-based compensation. Therefore, the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is not available to us without unreasonable efforts.
