My calculation shows that @ousterlidar shipped around 8,700 sensors in Q4 2025. Here is why: Baseline: By Q4 2022, at the time of the merger of Velodyne and Ouster, SEC filing investors.ouster.com/static-files/9… showed that Velodyne shipped 73k sensors and Ouster shipped 16k sensors; After the merger, Ouster shipped 48k sensors shipped from 2023 to Q3’25. These added up to 137k sensors. In the Schweb interview yesterday youtube.com/watch?si=2wpjN…, CEO Angus Pacala mentioned cumulative shipments of 150k sensors, which likely already includes shipments through early Q1’26 (first ~40 days). That implies: Q4’25 + first ~40 days of Q1’26 ≈ 13k units. Assumption: Assume Q425 shipment is X and full Q1’26 shipments is 110% of Q425, since only ~40 of ~90 days of Q1 have passed, early Q1 shipments ≈ 1.1 × X × (40/90) ≈ 0.489X. So: X + 0.489X ≈ 13k → 1.489X ≈ 13k → X ≈ 8.7k units in Q4’25. Even under conservative assumptions, that points to a very strong Q4 shipment quarter and continued momentum into Q1’26. And, if you use the same ASP as Q325, you will get Q4 revenue at $47M! You gotta love this quarter. $OUST Not financial advice. My math was taught by my PE teacher lol.



Trust in any new technology requires transparency. Our latest safety data from over 170M miles—about 200 human lifetimes of driving—shows 13x fewer crashes with serious injuries compared to human drivers. I’m proud of our team's commitment to this important work and the evidence that shows we are improving road safety in the cities in which we operate.✨
