CEO Commentary:
"As we reflect on 2023's achievements, it's clear that the year can be defined by the increasing commercialization of our AI-powered technology. The Cyngn team has delivered exciting results this year as we continue to capitalize on the growing demand for autonomous industrial vehicles. Not only did we launch two additional vehicle types, the DriveMod Forklift and DriveMod Tugger, but we also increased our year over year revenue by 5.7x," said Lior Tal, Cyngn's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Along with securing these key partnerships with leading OEMs like Motrec and BYD, we started 2023 with a valuable deployment at US Continental where our vehicles automated nearly 900 monthly trips. In addition, we successfully completed paid development contracts with leading companies like Arauco, aligned ourselves with Nvidia to power our artificial intelligence, secured 19 U.S. patents, and rolled out Enterprise Autonomy Suite 9.0 (EAS 9.0)."

"Looking ahead to 2024, things are already off to a great start. We are doubling down on our sales efforts and seeing the results through a bolstered opportunity pipeline. This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a transformational year for Cyngn."

Key 2023 Milestones and Achievements:

Valuable deployment: Cyngn started 2023 with a valuable deployment at US Continental, a California-based chemicals manufacturer. Here, Cyngn's vehicles automated nearly 900 monthly trips, in addition to sparking employee growth opportunities and promotions. Overall, the company found that DriveMod is 400% more efficient than a human forklift driver.
New products and partnerships: Cyngn has expanded its partnerships with two leading OEMs to propel the Company's DriveMod autonomous technology into even more complete solutions. First, in July, Cyngn partnered with Motrec, a globally recognized manufacturer of industrial electric vehicles, to bring its autonomous DriveMod solution to Motrec's MT-160 tow tractor. Cyngn also partnered with BYD, a renowned global brand, to integrate DriveMod into their fleet of electric forklifts, expanding Cyngn's portfolio of DriveMod-enabled vehicles to the most universal material handling vehicle. Cyngn revealed the first footage of the AI-powered autonomous forklift in August.
Customer contracts: Cyngn executed paid projects with leading global customers. In August, Cyngn announced a pre-order agreement with Arauco, a global company of sustainable forestry products, pulp, and engineered wood that is a supplier to the furniture and construction industries, to deploy 100 DriveMod Forklifts. This largest order-to-date refers to only a small portion of Arauco's existing fleet but represents a meaningful annual recurring revenue deployment for the Company. In addition, Cyngn announced an agreement with a Fortune 100 heavy machinery manufacturer to deploy DriveMod Tuggers in its North American manufacturing facility.
Proprietary technology: Cyngn secured several U.S. patents in 2023 for the Company's autonomous vehicle and driving solutions, bringing the total number to 19. Cyngn also released its Enterprise Autonomy Suite (EAS) 9.0, which comes with a suite of intelligent fleet management tools that customers can use to manage and monitor their fleets from any location. The latest version includes a number of advanced features such as on-vehicle mission deployment and intelligent return to home capabilities.
Product enhancements: In December, Cyngn enabled their new auto-unhitch capability. This feature is poised to bring greater value to customers by offering a hands-off solution to unloading towed cargo.
