The Company improved non-GAAP gross margins to 26% in the second quarter of 2023, through strong demand for the REV7 sensor product line and improved average selling prices. Continued commercial traction for the REV7 sensor and recent cost reduction efforts support management’s expectations that margins will improve in the second half of 2023. ______________________________________ 1 Bookings represent binding contract orders entered during the period. 2 Net loss includes goodwill impairment non-cash charges of $99 million in first quarter 2023 and $67 million in second quarter 2023. 3 Adjusted EBITDA loss and non-GAAP gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures.

REV7 sensors now account for the majority of OS sensor revenue and bookings. The Company also shipped VLS-128 sensors to Motional and May Mobility coinciding with new and expanded customer agreements. Execute on Digital Product Roadmap: Ouster continued to make progress on its digital lidar roadmap with the release of early B-samples of its solid-state Digital Flash (DF) sensors. At only 40mm tall, and fully solid state, these final form-factor DF sensors can detect 10% reflective objects at up to 200 meters range with camera-like resolution. Early B-samples will be offered to leading automakers starting in the third quarter of 2023, which we expect will be a major catalyst to our automotive platform. Develop Robust Software Ecosystem: Ouster enabled OS sensor compatibility for BlueCity, its turnkey traffic management solution, as part of its plans to unify the solution with Ouster Gemini, its digital lidar perception platform for smart infrastructure applications. Build Financially Strong Business: Cost Savings: Following its June cost reduction announcement, Ouster now expects to realize annualized cost savings of over $110 million exiting the fourth quarter of 2023, baselined against the standalone cost structures of the two companies as of the third quarter 2022. The Company reduced annual run-rate costs by an additional approximately $40 million in the second quarter of 2023. The Company recognized a one-time cash expense of over $3 million in the quarter. Scaling Manufacturing: As part of its outsourced manufacturing strategy to scale production and reduce costs, Ouster completed the transition of the VLP-32 sensor to Fabrinet in Thailand, and is on track to fully transition the VLS-128 by the end of the year.

The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations of management that are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates and expectations will be achieved. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “may,” “continue,” “target,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “predict,” “possible,” “potential,” “pursue,” “likely,” and the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements use these words or expressions. All statements, other than historical facts, including statements regarding Ouster’s revenue guidance; anticipated new product launches and developments; its future results of operations, cash reserve and financial position; anticipated cost savings; execution against the Company’s product roadmap; industry and business trends; its business objectives, plans, strategic partnerships, market growth; manufacturing transitions; and its competitive market position constitute forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including, but not limited to, risks related to Ouster’s limited operating history and history of losses; the negotiating power and product standards of its customers; fluctuations in its operating results; its ability to successfully integrate its business with Velodyne and achieve the anticipated benefits of the Velodyne merger; supply chain constraints and challenges; cancellation or postponement of contracts or unsuccessful implementations; the ability of its lidar technology roadmap and new software solutions to catalyze growth; the adoption of its products and the growth of the lidar market generally; Ouster’s ability to grow its sales and marketing organization; substantial research and development costs needed to develop and commercialize new products; the competitive environment in which Ouster operates; selection of Ouster’s products for inclusion in target markets; Ouster’s future capital needs and ability to secure additional capital on favorable terms or at all; its ability to use tax attributes; Ouster’s dependence on key third party suppliers, in particular Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Fabrinet, and other suppliers; Ouster’s ability to maintain inventory and the risk of inventory write-downs; inaccurate forecasts of market growth; Ouster’s ability to manage growth and recognize anticipated cost savings; the creditworthiness of Ouster’s customers; risks related to acquisitions; risks related to international operations; risks of product delivery problems or defects; costs associated with product warranties; Ouster’s ability to maintain competitive average selling prices or high sales volumes or reduce product costs; conditions in its customers’ industries; Ouster’s ability to recruit and retain key personnel; Ouster’s ability to adequately protect and enforce its intellectual property rights, including as relates to Hesai Group; Ouster’s ability to effectively respond to evolving regulations and standards; risks related to operating as a public company; and other important factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, that are further updated from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully and in the totality of the circumstances when evaluating these forward-looking statements, and not to place undue reliance on any of them. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s reasonable estimates and beliefs as of the date of this press release. While Ouster may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it disclaims any obligation to do so, other than as may be required by law, even if subsequent events cause its views to change. In addition, see information below concerning non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to its results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Ouster believes the non‑GAAP measures of Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance. Ouster calculates Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit (loss) excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, certain excess and obsolete expenses and losses on firm purchase commitments, and stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP Gross Margin is calculated as Non-GAAP Gross Profit divided by revenues. Ouster calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest expense (income), net, other expense (income), net, stock-based compensation expense, provision for income tax expense, goodwill impairment charges, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation expenses, certain restructuring costs excluding stock-based compensation expenses, certain excess and obsolete expenses and losses on firm purchase commitments, certain litigation and litigation related expenses and merger and acquisition related expenses. Ouster believes that Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may be helpful in comparison with other companies, some of which use similar non‑GAAP information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non‑GAAP measures used by other companies. Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. OUSTER, INC.

All statements, other than historical facts, including statements regarding Ouster’s revenue guidance; anticipated new product launches and developments; its future results of operations, cash reserve and financial position; anticipated cost savings; execution against the Company’s product roadmap; industry and business trends; its business objectives, plans, strategic partnerships, market growth; manufacturing transitions; and its competitive market position constitute forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including, but not limited to, risks related to Ouster’s limited operating history and history of losses; the negotiating power and product standards of its customers; fluctuations in its operating results; its ability to successfully integrate its business with Velodyne and achieve the anticipated benefits of the Velodyne merger; supply chain constraints and challenges; cancellation or postponement of contracts or unsuccessful implementations; the ability of its lidar technology roadmap and new software solutions to catalyze growth; the adoption of its products and the growth of the lidar market generally; Ouster’s ability to grow its sales and marketing organization; substantial research and development costs needed to develop and commercialize new products; the competitive environment in which Ouster operates; selection of Ouster’s products for inclusion in target markets; Ouster’s future capital needs and ability to secure additional capital on favorable terms or at all; its ability to use tax attributes; Ouster’s dependence on key third party suppliers, in particular Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Fabrinet, and other suppliers; Ouster’s ability to maintain inventory and the risk of inventory write-downs; inaccurate forecasts of market growth; Ouster’s ability to manage growth and recognize anticipated cost savings; the creditworthiness of Ouster’s customers; risks related to acquisitions; risks related to international operations; risks of product delivery problems or defects; costs associated with product warranties; Ouster’s ability to maintain competitive average selling prices or high sales volumes or reduce product costs; conditions in its customers’ industries; Ouster’s ability to recruit and retain key personnel; Ouster’s ability to adequately protect and enforce its intellectual property rights, including as relates to Hesai Group; Ouster’s ability to effectively respond to evolving regulations and standards; risks related to operating as a public company; and other important factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, that are further updated from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully and in the totality of the circumstances when evaluating these forward-looking statements, and not to place undue reliance on any of them. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s reasonable estimates and beliefs as of the date of this press release. While Ouster may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it disclaims any obligation to do so, other than as may be required by law, even if subsequent events cause its views to change. In addition, see information below concerning non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to its results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Ouster believes the non‑GAAP measures of Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its operating performance. Ouster calculates Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit (loss) excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, certain excess and obsolete expenses and losses on firm purchase commitments, and stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP Gross Margin is calculated as Non-GAAP Gross Profit divided by revenues. Ouster calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest expense (income), net, other expense (income), net, stock-based compensation expense, provision for income tax expense, goodwill impairment charges, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation expenses, certain restructuring costs excluding stock-based compensation expenses, certain excess and obsolete expenses and losses on firm purchase commitments, certain litigation and litigation related expenses and merger and acquisition related expenses. Ouster believes that Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may be helpful in comparison with other companies, some of which use similar non‑GAAP information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non‑GAAP measures used by other companies. Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. OUSTER, INC.

Over $19 million in revenue and $43 million in bookings in the second quarter 2023 Now targeting annualized cost savings of over $110 million exiting the fourth quarter 2023
Ouster, Inc. (NYSE: OUST) (“Ouster” or the “Company”), a leading provider of high-performance lidar sensors for the automotive, industrial, robotics, and smart infrastructure industries, announced today financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The second quarter 2022 comparative financial highlights reflect only the results of standalone Ouster. First quarter 2023 comparative financial highlights are composed of Ouster standalone performance through February 10, 2023 and combined performance of both companies following the merger with Velodyne on February 10, 2023 through March 31, 2023. Second Quarter 2023 Highlights Over $19 million in revenue, up 13% quarter over quarter, and up 88% year over year. Booked1 $43 million in business with new and existing customers. Gross margins of 1%, compared to (2)% in the first quarter 2023 and 27% in the second quarter 2022. Non-GAAP gross margins of 26%, up from 25% in the first quarter of 2023. Shipped over 3,000 sensors for revenue in the second quarter, up 1% quarter over quarter and 71% year over year. Net loss of $123 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $177 million in the first quarter of 2023 and $28 million in the second quarter of 2022.2 Adjusted EBITDA3 loss improved to $24 million, compared to a loss of $27 million in the first quarter of 2023 and a loss of $23 million in the second quarter of 2022. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $224 million as of June 30, 2023. “Ouster exited the second quarter 2023 with record quarterly revenues and strong bookings. These results, coupled with our cost reduction efforts, and continued execution on our cutting-edge product roadmap, position the Company for long-term success,” said Ouster CEO Angus Pacala. “We remain on track to build a strong go-forward enterprise that will create value for all of our stakeholders.” Ouster’s second quarter GAAP gross margins of 1% include certain expenses outside of our ordinary operations, including excess and obsolete costs, of $3.8 million associated with the consolidation of product lines and manufacturing transition from the REV6 to REV7 OS sensors. The Company improved non-GAAP gross margins to 26% in the second quarter of 2023, through strong demand for the REV7 sensor product line and improved average selling prices. Continued commercial traction for the REV7 sensor and recent cost reduction efforts support management’s expectations that margins will improve in the second half of 2023. ______________________________________ 1 Bookings represent binding contract orders entered during the period. 2 Net loss includes goodwill impairment non-cash charges of $99 million in first quarter 2023 and $67 million in second quarter 2023. 3 Adjusted EBITDA loss and non-GAAP gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information and reconciliations of these measures, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 2023 Business Objectives and Updates Drive new business through targeted sales approach to deliver near-term growth Execute on the digital lidar roadmap for OS and DF series to expand serviceable market Develop a robust software ecosystem to accelerate lidar adoption Build a financially strong business to support long-term growth and deliver value to shareholders Drive New Business: Ouster increased shipments of its REV7 OS sensors in the second quarter with higher average selling prices. REV7 sensors now account for the majority of OS sensor revenue and bookings. The Company also shipped VLS-128 sensors to Motional and May Mobility coinciding with new and expanded customer agreements. Execute on Digital Product Roadmap: Ouster continued to make progress on its digital lidar roadmap with the release of early B-samples of its solid-state Digital Flash (DF) sensors. At only 40mm tall, and fully solid state, these final form-factor DF sensors can detect 10% reflective objects at up to 200 meters range with camera-like resolution. Early B-samples will be offered to leading automakers starting in the third quarter of 2023, which we expect will be a major catalyst to our automotive platform. Develop Robust Software Ecosystem: Ouster enabled OS sensor compatibility for BlueCity, its turnkey traffic management solution, as part of its plans to unify the solution with Ouster Gemini, its digital lidar perception platform for smart infrastructure applications. Build Financially Strong Business: Cost Savings: Following its June cost reduction announcement, Ouster now expects to realize annualized cost savings of over $110 million exiting the fourth quarter of 2023, baselined against the standalone cost structures of the two companies as of the third quarter 2022. The Company reduced annual run-rate costs by an additional approximately $40 million in the second quarter of 2023. The Company recognized a one-time cash expense of over $3 million in the quarter. Scaling Manufacturing: As part of its outsourced manufacturing strategy to scale production and reduce costs, Ouster completed the transition of the VLP-32 sensor to Fabrinet in Thailand, and is on track to fully transition the VLS-128 by the end of the year. Third Quarter 2023 Outlook For the third quarter of 2023, Ouster expects to achieve $20 million to $22 million in revenue.
