Exhibit 99.1

CEO Letter - Beamr’s Path Forward - Solving the Visual Data Challenge for Autonomous Vehicles

Herzliya, Israel, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beamr Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today issued a Letter to Shareholders from Sharon Carmel, Chief Executive Officer.

Dear Shareholders,

As Beamr’s CEO, I recognize that the recent volatility in our share price reflects a clear expectation: our technological progress must translate into meaningful commercial results. I share that expectation. At the same time, I believe the market has not yet fully recognized how significantly Beamr has changed over the past 13 months or the magnitude of the opportunity we are now working to capture.

Preliminary First Half 2026 Financial Update

Based on our current preliminary internal financial results, Beamr generated approximately $0.9 million in revenue during the first six months of 2026*, compared to $1.07 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and Beamr ended the quarter with approximately $7.7 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026.

We remain focused on executing our commercialization strategy, advancing product innovation, supporting customer deployments, and pursuing opportunities across autonomous vehicles, AI infrastructure, media, and other video-intensive markets.

Consistent with our disciplined approach to capital allocation, we plan to continue to manage our expenses responsibly while maintaining the financial flexibility required to execute our strategy. As we advance our commercialization and growth initiatives, we expect to supplement our existing resources over time and plan to evaluate opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet to support future growth initiatives.

Building for What Comes Next

Thirteen months ago, we made a deliberate strategic decision to apply our core video technology to a much larger challenge: managing the enormous volumes of visual data generated by autonomous vehicles and, over time, the broader Physical AI market.

This is not a departure from our core expertise. It is an expansion of it.

Beamr has spent years building intellectual property and solving one of the most difficult problems in video: materially reducing video data while preserving the information that matters. We believe this capability can become an essential part of the machine-vision infrastructure supporting autonomous vehicles and Physical AI.

A technology capable of materially reducing the largest data payload in an autonomous vehicle program without compromising machine-learning performance can create value throughout the development pipeline. We believe that this opportunity is huge!

Recent progress supports our conviction. Beamr extended its participation through Partnership and integration into AV platforms¹². We believe that this will accelerate integration of our products with customers. We also introduced Beamr Blueprint, enabling customers to evaluate our technology using their own data and workflows. Blueprint is already being deployed with a global autonomous vehicle program³.

Our focus is firmly on converting technical validation into paid evaluations, production deployments, and long-term licensing relationships. We are building a repeatable commercialization model that we believe can scale across robotics and the broader Physical AI market.

Looking Ahead

The management team and Board believe strongly in Beamr’s technology, strategy, and long-term value.

Beamr is not a company waiting for a mature market to grow again. We are positioning ourselves around one of the defining infrastructure challenges of the AI era: enabling machines to capture, move, store, and learn from unprecedented volumes of visual information efficiently and safely.

We believe Beamr can lead an important new category at the intersection of video, machine vision, and Physical AI.

Our responsibility now is to turn that potential into results. We are focused on converting our progress into paid evaluations, production deployments, long-term licensing relationships, and sustainable commercial growth. We intend to earn your confidence through execution.

Sincerely,

Sharon Carmel
