Seeing Machines Limited ("Seeing Machines" or the "Company")
11 February 2026
Q2 FY2026 Quarterly KPIs
Automotive production surpasses 4.8 million vehicles with a significant
increase in Guardian sales
Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE), the advanced computer vision technology
company that designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve
transport safety, publishes its quarterly Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs")
for the quarter ended 31 December 2025 ("Q2 FY2026").
Q2 FY2026 KPI highlights:
- Cars on the road with Seeing Machines' Driver and Occupant
Monitoring System (DMS/OMS) technology increased to 4,818,731 units,
representing an increase of 67% from 12 months ago (Q2 FY2025: 2,883,745)
- Quarterly production of 578,363 units, up 13% from the previous
quarter (Q1 FY2026: 510,167) and up 117% from the previous corresponding
quarter (Q2 FY2025: 266,654), demonstrating continued sequential growth
- Guardian hardware sales of 3,764 units, representing a significant
increase on the previous quarter (Q1 FY2026: 368)
Automotive Production Volumes (production of new vehicles using Seeing
Machines' Driver Monitoring System (DMS) technology):
Q2 FY2025 Q3 FY2025 Q4 FY2025 Q1 FY2026 Q2 FY2026
Production FY2025-26 266,654 358,162 488,294 510,167 578,363
% Growth Qtr on Qtr (34%) 34% 36% 4% 13%
Q2 FY2024 Q3 FY2024 Q4 FY2024 Q1 FY2025 Q2 FY2025
Production FY2024-25 208,231 313,662 381,215 405,669 266,654
% Growth Comparative 28% 14% 28% 26% 117%
Automotive production volumes include actual volume from programs that have
minimum guaranteed volume arrangements. In Q2 FY2026 actual production
exceeded the minimum guaranteed volume, however, actual volumes remain below
the minimum guaranteed levels on a cumulative basis.
Seeing Machines continues to deliver quarter-on-quarter growth in DMS
shipments. Looking ahead, royalty growth is expected to accelerate as
Automotive OEMs increase DMS fitment rates to meet the European General Safety
Regulation (GSR) mandate effective July 2026. While some new RFQs have been
deferred, existing production programs are expected to expand across European
platforms as OEMs move to comply within the remaining regulatory timeframe.
Aftermarket - Guardian (technology for commercial transport fleets and
logistics companies):
Q2 FY2025 Q3 FY2025 Q4 FY2025 Q1 FY2026 Q2 FY2026
Guardian Hardware unit sales 288 1,151 2,536 368 3,764
Annual Recurring Revenue $13.4m $13.4m $13.5m $13.5m $14.0m
% Growth Qtr on Qtr (1%) - 1% - 4%
Guardian sales increased significantly quarter-on-quarter, reflecting
increased customer engagement and continued progression of the opportunities
through the sales cycle. The increase in hardware sales is also contributing
to Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) as sales of new Guardian units are installed
and connected. Guardian generates recurring, high-margin service revenue, with
customer contracts typically spanning an average term of approximately 36
months.
Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines, commented: "We are seeing increasing
demand for our technology across Automotive as OEMs prepare for regulatory
change, reinforcing the long-term role of driver monitoring within vehicle
safety architectures. In Aftermarket, the step-up in Guardian sales activity
is very encouraging and supports our focus on customers progressing through
trial phases toward broader deployment.
"The volumes achieved for Automotive and Guardian sales mark steady progress
from prior quarters. We still expect to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA in Q3
and for the second half of FY2026 (excluding the impact of the recently
announced up-front royalty payment)."
The Company expects to publish its H1 FY2026 Trading Update on 18 February
2026.
