“Our revenues from the continuing licensing business decreased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter last year. However, non-recurring engineering revenues related to our new lines of business increased and were mainly attributable to the driver monitoring system (“DMS”) project with the original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) of commercial vehicles customer that we announced at the end of last year. Licensing revenues from legacy customers within printer and passenger car touch applications decreased compared to the same quarter last year, mainly due to lower demand for their products. Cash used by operations decreased in the third quarter 2024 compared to the same quarter last year, as we discontinued component purchases after phasing out TSM manufacturing,” said Fredrik Nihlén, Neonode’s interim President and CEO and CFO.

“We remain positive toward the prospects of generating new projects and business with our driver and in-cabin monitoring solutions, which continue to generate positive attention from OEMs and suppliers to the automotive industry. Our flexible and scalable approach to driver and in-cabin monitoring presents manufacturers and their suppliers with a cost-effective and efficient platform for securing compliance and automotive innovation for years to come. We also see a growing market interest in licensing our cost-effective and proven touch interaction solutions,” concluded Mr. Nihlén.
