Patent Agreement with Aequitias In May 2019, Neonode assigned two patent families related to old smartphone technology to Aequitas Technologies LLC in exchange for 50% of the net proceeds if Aequitas succeeds in monetizing the patents. Net proceeds should here be understood as gross proceeds less out of pocket expenses and legal fees. Background Facts Ongoing Litigations 2023 - 03 - 09 31 © Neonode 2001 - 2023 · www.neonode.com · Nasdaq (NEON) Neonode’s Role Neonode has no insight into or influence over Aequitas’ operations and, in particular, we are not involved in the lawsuits v. Apple and Samsung. Neonode will not bear any costs associated with the ongoing litigations and we are not exposed to any risks because of them. In June 2020, Neonode Smartphone LLC, a subsidiary of Aequitas Technologies LLC, filed patent infringement lawsuits against Apple Inc., and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America Inc., respectively, in the Western District of Texas, USA. Both litigations are still ongoing. Neonode has an “embedded call option” associated with its patent agreement with Aequitas Technologies LLC

Non - GAAP Financial Measures In addition to presenting our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use adjusted gross margin to measure our financial performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding AirBar sales revenues and costs and adjusting for costs and lost revenues caused by a quality issue and one - time write - down of inventory. We believe adjusted gross margin is a meaningful measure because it reflects the performance of our TSM business, which is our current focus. Non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our use of adjusted gross margin, a non - GAAP financial measure, has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider adjusted gross margin in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition of non - GAAP adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. 2023 - 03 - 09 37 © Neonode 2001 - 2023 · www.neonode.com · Nasdaq (NEON) The following tables presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. kUSD Q1 - 20 Q2 - 20 Q3 - 20 Q4 - 20 Q1 - 21 Q2 - 21 Q3 - 21 Q4 - 21 Q1 - 22 Q2 - 22 Q3 - 22 Q4 - 22 2022 2021 2020 Revenue Products 98 66 284 502 355 346 136 118 147 210 155 483 995 955 950 Cost of Sales Products - 36 - 72 - 198 - 496 - 270 - 212 - 98 - 342 - 51 - 93 - 80 - 552 - 776 - 922 - 802 Gross Profit Products 62 - 6 86 6 85 134 38 - 224 96 117 75 - 69 219 35 150 Lost revenues TSM quality issue - - - - - - 14 12 92 - - - - - 90 - Cost of sales TSM quality issue - - - - - 4 27 - 61 - - - - - - 31 - Inventory write - down TSM quality issue - - - - - - - 154 - - - 294 294 154 - Revenue AirBar 1 - 0 - 60 - 21 - 43 - - - - 13 - - - - 13 - 43 - 79 Cost of Sales AirBar - 23 27 86 123 39 - 4 - 7 149 - - - - - 178 213 Adjusted Gross Profit Products 40 21 112 109 81 120 70 110 83 117 75 225 500 383 284 Gross Margin Products 63% - 9% 30% 1% 24% 39% 28% - 190% 65% 56% 48% - 14% 22% 4% 16% Adjusted Gross Margin Products 40% 32% 50% 23% 26% 36% 47% 52% 62% 56% 48% 47% 51% 38% 33%
