- Delivers 29% Year-over-year Top Line Growth to $52.4M with
Non-GAAP Gross Margin of 50.3%
- Guides Q2 2024 Revenue to be flat to up 5% Sequentially with
Non-GAAP Gross Margin Expansion
- Well Positioned for Sustained Above Market Growth Driven by
ADAS and User Experience 2H 2024 New Program Ramps
indie Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDI), an Autotech solutions
innovator, today announced first quarter results for the period
ended March 31, 2024. Q1 revenue was up 29 percent year-over-year
to $52.4 million with Non-GAAP gross margin of 50.3 percent. On a
GAAP basis, first quarter 2024 operating loss was $49.6 million
compared to $37.0 million a year ago. Non-GAAP operating loss for
the first quarter of 2024 was $17.2 million, versus $16.8 million
during the same period last year. First quarter 2024 GAAP loss per
share was $0.19, while Non-GAAP loss per share was $0.10.
“indie continues to significantly outpace our industry peer
group and is capitalizing on technology deployment momentum across
the Autotech market," said Donald McClymont, indie's co-founder and
chief executive officer. “Despite contracting automotive end market
units, we produced 29 percent year-over-year top line growth to a
record first quarter level, albeit slightly below our guidance.
That said, we believe we have passed our trough and expect a
resumption of outsized sales growth in the second half of this year
driven by new product ramps of our vehicle camera, power
distribution and advanced lighting solutions as well as key global
flagship car launches, featuring increased indie content. Further,
we’re setting the stage for our larger scale computer vision and
radar program launches commencing next year.”

Q2 2024 Outlook
We provide guidance on a non-GAAP basis only because certain
information necessary to reconcile such results and guidance to
GAAP is difficult to estimate and dependent on future events
outside of our control and, therefore, is not available without
unreasonable efforts. Please refer to the header captioned
“Discussion Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in
this release for a further discussion of our use of non-GAAP
measures.
“For the second quarter of 2024, we expect indie’s revenue to be
flat to up 5 percent sequentially, more than offsetting the current
market softness stemming from the still ongoing industry-wide
inventory rebalancing,” said Thomas Schiller, indie’s chief
financial officer and executive vice president of strategy. “At the
same time, we are planning on gross margin expansion to the 51 to
52 percent range from a richer product mix, flat expenses and, in
turn, a narrower operating loss on a sequential basis. Based on the
strength of our new product pipeline and a general market recovery
as channel inventory levels normalize, we plan to return to high
growth mode in the back half of this year and to resume our
industry-leading growth trajectory into 2025 and beyond.”

Discussion Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
Our earnings release contains some or all of the following
financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with
United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”):
(i) non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating
loss, (iii) non-GAAP net loss, (iv) non-GAAP EBITDA, (v) non-GAAP
share count, (vi) non-GAAP net loss and (vii) non-GAAP net loss per
share. As set forth in the tables above, we derive such non-GAAP
financial measures by excluding certain expenses and other items
from the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly
comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure. Management may use
these non-GAAP financial measures to, amongst other things,
evaluate operating performance and compare it against past periods
or against peer companies, make operating decisions, forecast for
future periods and to determine payments under compensation
programs. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with
additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results
and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain expenses
and other items that management believes might otherwise make
comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and
competitors more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or
improve management’s ability to forecast future periods.
We provide investors with non-GAAP gross profit and gross
margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net
loss per share because we believe it is important for investors to
be able to closely monitor and understand changes in our ability to
generate income from ongoing business operations. We believe these
non-GAAP financial measures give investors an additional method to
evaluate historical operating performance and identify trends, an
additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating
performance and a method to facilitate certain comparisons of our
operating results to those of our peer companies. We further
believe these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to assess
the overall financial performance of our ongoing operations by
eliminating the impact of (i) acquisition-related expenses
(including acquisition-related professional fees and legal
expenses, deemed compensation expense and expenses recognized in
relation to changes in contingent consideration obligations), (ii)
amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and certain license
rights, (iii) inventory cost realignments, (iv) gains or losses
recognized in relation to changes in the fair value of warrants,
contingent considerations issued by indie, acquisition-related
holdbacks and unrealized gains or losses from currency hedging
contracts, (v) non-cash interest expenses related to the
amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, (vi) share-based
compensation, and (vii) income tax benefit (expenses). We believe
that disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures contributes to
enhanced financial reporting transparency and provides investors
with added clarity about complex financial performance
measures.
We do not report a GAAP measure of gross profit or gross margin
because certain costs related to contract revenues are expensed as
incurred and included in research and development expenses, and not
in cost of sales, as it is not practicable for us to bifurcate
these expenses. We derive and reconcile non-GAAP gross profit from
the most relevant GAAP financial measures by subtracting GAAP cost
of sales, adjusted for acquisition-related expenses and share-based
compensation, from GAAP revenue. We calculate non-GAAP operating
loss by excluding from GAAP operating loss, any (i)
acquisition-related expenses (including acquisition-related
professional fees and legal expenses, deemed compensation expense
and expenses recognized in relation to changes in contingent
consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of
acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii)
inventory cost realignments and (iv) share-based compensation. We
calculate non-GAAP net loss by excluding from GAAP net income
(loss), any (i) acquisition-related expenses (including
acquisition-related professional fees and legal expenses, deemed
compensation expense and expenses recognized in relation to changes
in contingent consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of
acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii)
inventory cost realignments, (iv) gains or losses recognized in
relation to changes in the fair value of warrants, contingent
considerations issued by indie, acquisition-related holdbacks and
unrealized gains or losses from currency hedging contracts, (v)
non-cash interest expenses related to the amortization of debt
discounts and issuance costs, (vi) share-based compensation, and
(vii) income tax benefit (expenses). We calculate non-GAAP EBITDA
by excluding from GAAP net income (loss), any (i)
acquisition-related expenses (including acquisition-related
professional fees and legal expenses, deemed compensation expense
and expenses recognized in relation to changes in contingent
consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of
acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii)
depreciation of fixed assets, (iv)inventory cost realignments, (v)
gains or losses recognized in relation to changes in the fair value
of warrants, contingent considerations issued by indie,
acquisition-related holdbacks and unrealized gains or losses from
currency hedging contracts, (vi) non-cash interest expenses related
to the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, (vii)
share-based compensation, and (viii) income tax benefit (expenses).
We calculate non-GAAP share count by adding (i) weighted average
Class A common stock, (ii) weighted average Class V common stock
held by minority shareholders, which are exchangeable into Class A
common stock, (iii) Escrow Shares and (iv) vested but unexercised
options issued as part of the TeraXion acquisition. Non-GAAP net
loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss by
non-GAAP share count.
We exclude the items identified above from the respective
non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set
forth with respect to each such excluded item below:
Acquisition-related expenses - including such items as, when
applicable, fair value charges incurred upon the sale of acquired
inventory, accounting impact to the cost of goods sold due to
one-time inventory costing realignment with a specific supplier and
acquisition-related professional fees and legal expenses because
they are not considered by management in making operating decisions
and we believe that such expenses do not have a direct correlation
to our future business operations and thereby including such
charges do not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing
operations for the period in which such charges or reversals are
incurred.
Amortization expenses - related to the amortization expense for
acquired intangible assets and certain license rights.
Depreciation expenses - related to the depreciation expenses for
all property and equipment on hand.
Inventory cost realignments - related to the supplier allocation
premiums introduced during COVID that is currently incorporated in
our inventory cost but have since been eliminated going forward.
The impact of this premium is deemed non-recurring and therefore
not considered by management in its evaluation of the ongoing
performance of the business.
Share-based compensation - related to the non-cash compensation
expense associated with equity awards granted to our employees
(including those granted in lieu of cash compensation) and employer
tax related to employee stock transactions. These expenses are not
considered by management in making operating decisions and such
expenses do not have a direct correlation to our future business
operations.
Gain (loss) from change in fair values - because these
adjustments (1) are not considered by management in making
operating decisions, (2) are not directly controlled by management,
(3) do not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing
operations for the period in which such charges are recognized and
(4) cannot make comparisons between peer company performance less
reliable.
Non-cash interest expense - related to the amortization of debt
discounts and issuance costs because (1) these expenses are not
considered by management in making decision with respect to
financing decisions, and (2) these generally reflect non-cash
costs.
Income tax benefit (expense) - related to the estimated income
tax benefit (expense) that does not result in a current period tax
refunds (payments).
The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be
considered in isolation and are not an alternative for the
respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable
to each such non-GAAP financial measure. Investors are cautioned
against placing undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures
and are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made
by management to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP
financial measures may have limited value as analytical tools
because they may exclude certain expenses that some investors
consider important in evaluating our operating performance or
ongoing business performance. Further, non-GAAP financial measures
are likely to have limited value for purposes of drawing
comparisons between companies as a result of different companies
potentially calculating similarly titled non-GAAP financial
measures in different ways because non-GAAP measures are not based
on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Beginning in Q4 2023, management added non-GAAP EBITDA, which
removes non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that may
distort EBITDA, to the current non-GAAP financial measures. We will
calculate non-GAAP EBITDA by excluding from GAAP net income (loss),
any (i) acquisition-related expenses (including acquisition-related
professional fees and legal expenses, deemed compensation expense
and expenses recognized in relation to changes in contingent
consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of
acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii)
depreciation of property, plant and equipment, (iv) inventory cost
realignments, (v) gains or losses recognized in relation to changes
in the fair value of warrants, contingent considerations issued by
indie, acquisition-related holdbacks and unrealized gains or losses
from currency hedging contracts, (vi) non-cash interest expenses
related to the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs,
(vii) share-based compensation, and (viii) income tax benefit
(expenses).
To the extent our disclosures contain forward-looking estimates
of non-GAAP financial measures, such as our forward-looking outlook
for non-GAAP EBITDA, these measures are provided to investors on a
prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) we provide
them to investors on a historical basis. We are generally unable to
provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP measures
because certain information needed to make a reasonable
forward-looking estimate of such non-GAAP measures are difficult to
predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events that
may be uncertain or outside of our control and, therefore, is not
available without unreasonable efforts. Such events may include
unanticipated changes in our GAAP effective tax rate, unanticipated
one-time charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets,
inventory, intangibles, or goodwill), unanticipated
acquisition-related expenses, unanticipated settlements, gains,
losses and impairments and other unanticipated items not reflective
of ongoing operations. Our forward-looking estimates of both GAAP
and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may differ
materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as
