- Revenue decreased 8% year over year to $486 million in the
third quarter. Revenue increased 11% versus the second quarter of
2024. Full year 2024 revenue guidance, at the midpoint, is
unchanged compared to prior guidance.
- Diluted EPS (GAAP) was $(3.35) and Adjusted Diluted EPS
(Non-GAAP) was $0.10 in the third quarter of 2024. GAAP EPS was
impacted by a non-cash impairment loss related to the Goodwill
asset on our balance sheet.
- Generated net cash from operating activities of $196 million in
the nine months ended September 28, 2024, including $126 million in
the third quarter of 2024.
Mobileye Global Inc. (Nasdaq: MBLY) (“Mobileye”) today released
its financial results for the three months ended September 28,
2024.
“We continue to focus on our core strategic objectives for the
next two years, which include maintaining and growing our ADAS
position outside of domestic China, deepening the relationship with
our top 10 customers through advanced product design wins, and
executing our EyeQTM6-based set of advanced products that leverage
historic Mobileye competitive advantages augmented by novel AI
approaches,” said Mobileye President and CEO Prof. Amnon Shashua.
“While the near-term growth environment remains challenging, our
objectives are focused on medium- and long-term opportunities and
we expect those to become more evident in the coming months.”
Third Quarter 2024 Business Highlights
- On the business development front, our top ten customers
represent more than 80% of our volume and approximately 50% of
industry volume. We believe we continue to gain long-term ADAS
visibility through recent design wins with all these customers,
many of which stretch through the early 2030’s. On the advanced
product side (i.e., Surround ADAS, SuperVision, Chauffeur), we
continue to make progress on advanced engagements with nine of the
ten (in addition to other OEMs). While timing is ultimately in the
control of OEMs, these engagements have scheduled decision points
in the upcoming months.1
- Execution of the Volkswagen Group production programs for
SuperVision, Chauffeur, and Drive are progressing on-plan,
including recent installation of the EyeQTM6-based software and
hardware stack into test vehicles.
- We published CEO / CTO video presentations on October 2nd that
included a deep exposition of our Compound AI Systems approach to
software and hardware and our goal to leverage our competitive
advantages in this area to achieve intervention-rates that support
better-than-human autonomous vehicle performance. See link
here.
- The wind-down of the internal FMCW Lidar development was
announced last month. This decision was the result of higher
confidence that third-party lidar will be sufficient given
increased clarity of the performance of our next-generation
computer vision stack and in-house imaging radar technology. This
decision also enables our expectation to maintain adjusted
operating expenses at or below the third quarter of 2024 level on
average in 2025.
- The Mobileye Drive product intended for mobility-as-a-service
(i.e. robotaxi) is also making progress. We are approaching closed
user-group testing in a variety of projects including VW Commercial
Vehicles / MOIA, Deutsche Bahn, Holo / Ruter, and Verne.

- Revenue of $486 million decreased by 8% compared to the third
quarter of 2023, primarily due to a 9% reduction in EyeQ volumes.
This was primarily attributable to a reduction in volumes shipped
to China OEMs as well as modest declines in overall global vehicle
production.
- Average System Price2 was $53.3 in the third quarter of 2024 as
compared to $53.8 in the prior year period primarily due to
modestly unfavorable mix of EyeQ feature bundles as compared to the
third quarter of 2023.
- Gross Margin declined by approximately 3 percentage points in
the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year period. The
decrease was primarily due to the impact of the cost attributable
to amortization of intangible assets which was similar to the prior
year but on a lower revenue base, as well as higher EyeQ-related
costs per unit given a different mix of EyeQ generations sold.
- Adjusted Gross Margin declined by approximately 1 percentage
point in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year
period. The decrease was primarily due to higher EyeQ-related costs
per unit given a different mix of EyeQ generations sold.
- An additional item that is part of this quarter’s
reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP earnings is a non-cash
impairment loss related to the Goodwill asset on our balance sheet.
This asset, which is significant in the context of Mobileye’s total
assets, originally resulted from the Intel acquisition of Mobileye
in 2017 and was pushed down to our balance sheet in connection with
the IPO in 2022 and separation from Intel. During the quarter, due
to our market capitalization falling below our book equity value,
an interim impairment test was triggered. The resulting analysis
led to an approximately $2,613 million write-down of goodwill, net
of tax. For more information, see our third quarter 2024 10-Q
filing.
- Operating Margin declined from 2% in the third quarter of 2023
to (578%) in the third quarter of 2024 due to goodwill impairment
loss of $2,695 million recognized in the third quarter of
2024.
- Adjusted Operating Margin declined by 18 percentage points in
the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year period. The
decrease was primarily due to higher operating expenses on a lower
revenue base.
- Operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 28,
2024 was $196 million. Cash used in purchases of property and
equipment was $68 million for that same period.
1 These expectations are based on estimated volumes, which are
based on projections of future production volumes that were
provided by our current and prospective OEMs at the time of
sourcing the design wins for the models related to those design
wins. Further, achievement of a design win is subject to multiple
factors, many of which are outside of Mobileye’s control. Any
statement on the timing of a design win is an estimate only and
subject to change. See the disclaimer under the heading
“Forward-Looking Statements” below for important limitations
applicable to these estimates.
2 Average System Price is calculated as the sum of revenue
related to EyeQTM and SuperVision systems, divided by the number of
systems shipped.
Financial Guidance for the 2024 Fiscal Year
The following information reflects Mobileye’s expectations for
Revenue, Operating Loss and Adjusted Operating Income results for
the year ending December 28, 2024. Our guidance, at the midpoint,
is unchanged from the expectations last disclosed on August 1, 2024
with the exception of Operating Loss, as a result of the impact of
the goodwill impairment listed specifically below.
We believe Adjusted Operating Income (a non-GAAP metric) is an
appropriate metric as it excludes significant non-cash expenses
including: 1) Amortization charges related to intangible assets
consisting of developed technology, customer relationships, and
brands as a result of Intel’s acquisition of Mobileye in 2017 and
the acquisition of Moovit in 2020; 2) Share-based compensation
expense; and 3) Goodwill impairment. These statements represent
forward-looking information and may not represent a financial
outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and
assumptions referred to in the Forward-Looking Statements section
of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin,
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin, Adjusted Net Income and
Adjusted EPS, which are financial measures not presented in
accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross
profit presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding amortization of
acquisition related intangibles and share-based compensation
expense. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross
Profit divided by total revenue. We define Adjusted Operating
Income (Loss) as operating loss presented in accordance with GAAP,
adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition related
intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and impairment of
goodwill. Operating margin is calculated as Operating Income (Loss)
divided by total revenue, and Adjusted Operating Margin is
calculated as Adjusted Operating Income divided by total revenue.
We define Adjusted Net Income as net loss presented in accordance
with GAAP, adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition related
intangibles, share-based compensation expense, impairment of
goodwill, as well as the related income tax effects. Income tax
effects have been calculated using the applicable statutory tax
rate for each adjustment taking into consideration the associated
valuation allowance impacts. Adjusted Basic EPS is calculated by
dividing Adjusted Net Income for the period by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period, while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common
shares to the extent they are dilutive.
We use such non-GAAP financial measures to make strategic
decisions, establish business plans and forecasts, identify trends
affecting our business, and evaluate performance. For example, we
use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our pricing and
sourcing strategy, in the preparation of our annual operating
budget, and as a measure of our operating performance. We believe
that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively,
may be helpful to investors because they allow for greater
transparency into what measures our management uses in operating
our business and measuring our performance, and enable comparison
of financial trends and results between periods where items may
vary independent of business performance. The non-GAAP financial
measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes
only, 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. A
reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial
measure to the most directly comparable financial measure presented
in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the
related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these
non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures.

Forward-Looking Statements
Mobileye’s business outlook, guidance and other statements in
this release that are not statements of historical fact, including
statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking
statements and should be evaluated as such. Forward-looking
statements include information concerning possible or assumed
future results of operations, including Mobileye’s 2024 full-year
guidance, projected future revenue and descriptions of our business
plan and strategies. These statements often include words such as
“anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,”
“estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,”
“may,” “will,” “forecast,” or the negative of these terms, and
other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking
statements contain these words. We base these forward-looking
statements or projections, including Mobileye’s full-year guidance,
on our current expectations, plans and assumptions that we have
made in light of our experience in the industry, as well as our
perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected
future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate
under the circumstances and at such time. You should understand
that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results.
The forward-looking statements and projections are subject to and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and you should not
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements or
projections. Although we believe that these forward-looking
statements and projections are based on reasonable assumptions at
the time they are made, you should be aware that many factors could
affect our actual financial results or results of operations and
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements and projections.
Important factors that may materially affect such
forward-looking statements and projections include the following:
future business, social and environmental performance, goals and
measures; our anticipated growth prospects and trends in markets
and industries relevant to our business; business and investment
plans; expectations about our ability to maintain or enhance our
leadership position in the markets in which we participate; future
consumer demand and behavior, including expectations about excess
inventory utilization by customers; our ability to effectively
compete in the markets in which we operate; future products and
technology, and the expected availability and benefits of such
products and technology; development of regulatory frameworks for
current and future technology; changes in regulation and trade
policy, including increased tariffs, in regions in which we
operate, including the US, Europe and China; projected cost and
pricing trends; future production capacity and product supply;
potential future benefits and competitive advantages associated
with our technologies and architecture and the data we have
accumulated; the future purchase, use and availability of products,
components and services supplied by third parties, including
third-party IP and manufacturing services; uncertain events or
assumptions, including statements relating to our estimated vehicle
production and market opportunity, potential production volumes
associated with design wins and other characterizations of future
events or circumstances; effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and
responses to future pandemics; adverse conditions in Israel,
including as a result of war and geopolitical conflict, which may
affect our operations and may limit our ability to produce and sell
our solutions; any disruption in our operations by the obligations
of our personnel to perform military service as a result of current
or future military actions involving Israel; availability, uses,
sufficiency and cost of capital and capital resources, including
expected returns to stockholders such as dividends, and the
expected timing of future dividends; tax- and accounting-related
expectations.
The estimates included herein are based on projections of future
production volumes that were provided by our current and
prospective OEMs at the time of sourcing the design wins for the
models related to those design wins. For the purpose of these
estimates, we estimated sales prices based on our management’s
estimates for the applicable product bundles and periods. Achieving
design wins is not a guarantee of revenue, and our sales may not
correlate with the achievement of additional design wins. Moreover,
our pricing estimates are made at the time of a request for
quotation by an OEM (in the case of estimates related to contracted
customers), so that worsening market or other conditions between
the time of a request for quotation and an order for our solutions
may require us to sell our solutions for a lower price than we
initial expected. These estimates may deviate from actual
production volumes and sale prices (which may be higher or lower
than the estimates) and the amounts included for prospective but
uncontracted production volumes may never be achieved. Accordingly,
these estimations are subject to and involve risks, uncertainties
and assumptions and you should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements or projections.
Detailed information regarding these and other factors that
could affect Mobileye’s business and results is included in
Mobileye’s SEC filings, including the company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023, particularly in the
section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors”. Copies of these filings
may be obtained by visiting our Investor Relations website at
