Business Description

About Us Neonode provides software solutions for machine perception that feature advanced machine learning algorithms to detect and track persons and objects in video streams from cameras and other types of imagers. We base our machine perception solutions on our MultiSensing® technology platform. We market and sell our solutions to customers mainly in the automotive market. However, our solution can also be used in many other markets, and we plan to expand our solutions into new markets in the future. Neonode also provides advanced optical sensing solutions for touch, contactless touch, and gesture sensing using our zForce® technology platform. In 2010, we began licensing to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and automotive Tier 1 suppliers who embed our technology into products they develop, manufacture, and sell. Since 2010, our licensing customers have sold over 95 million products that feature our technology. In October 2017, we augmented our licensing business and began manufacturing and shipping touch sensor modules (“TSMs”) that incorporate our patented technology. On December 12, 2023, we announced a new, sharpened strategy with full focus on the licensing business. Consequently, we phased out the TSM product business during 2024 through licensing of the TSM technology to strategic partners and in parallel we sold parts of the remaining TSMs. The phase out of our TSM product business meets the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of discontinued operations. All following information presents continuing operations. In September 2025, we made the strategic decision to transition the zForce platform into maintenance mode. We are no longer selling the zForce technology to new customers but will continue supporting existing customers in various markets and segments such as office equipment, automotive, industrial automation, medical, military, and avionics. Licensing We license our MultiSensing and zForce technology to OEMs and automotive Tier 1 suppliers who embed our technology into products that they develop, manufacture and sell. Since 2010, our licensing customers have sold over 95 million devices that use our patented technology. As of December 31, 2025, we had 36 valid technology license agreements with global OEMs, Original Design Manufacturers ("ODMs") and automotive Tier 1 suppliers. Our licensing customer base is primarily in the automotive and printer segments. Nine of our licensing customers are currently shipping products that embed our technology. We anticipate current customers will continue to ship products with our technology in 2026 and in future years. We also expect to expand our customer base with a number of new customers who will be looking to ship new products incorporating our MultiSensing technologies as they complete final product development and release cycles. We typically earn our license fees on a per unit basis when our customers ship products using our technology, but in the future, we may use other business models as well. 1 Table of Contents Non-recurring Engineering Services We also offer non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services related to application development linked to our technology platform on a flat rate or hourly rate basis. Typically, our licensing customers require engineering support during the development and initial manufacturing phase for their products using our technology. Strategy and Focus Areas Our customers use machine perception technologies to grow their businesses, drive efficiencies, and seek competitive advantages. Our strategy is to deliver value-adding human-machine interaction (“HMI”) and machine perception solutions that enable our customers to achieve these targets. We offer specialized NRE services related to the integration of our solutions into customer systems and products to ensure that optimal functionality and performance is achieved. With the strategic decision in September 2025 to transition the zForce platform into maintenance mode, we are no longer selling the zForce technology to new customers. We instead aim to capture a significant share of the growing automotive driver and in-cabin monitoring market by developing our machine perception business.…
