- Delivers 3% Year-over-year Top Line Growth to $54.1 million
with Non-GAAP Gross Margin of 49.5%
- Continued strong ADAS design-win momentum despite challenging
market conditions
- Announces restructuring plan to increase operational
efficiencies and accelerate path to profitability
indie Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDI), an automotive
solutions innovator, today announced first quarter results for the
period ended March 31, 2025. Q1 revenue was up 3.3 percent
year-over-year to $54.1 million with Non-GAAP gross margin of 49.5
percent. On a GAAP basis, first quarter 2025 operating loss was
$38.9 million compared to $49.6 million a year ago. Non-GAAP
operating loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $15.1 million,
versus $17.2 million during the same period last year. First
quarter 2025 GAAP loss per share was $0.18, while Non-GAAP loss per
share was $0.08.
“In Q1, indie delivered year-over-year growth despite persisting
negative global macro-economic conditions and accelerated market
uncertainty due to the dynamic tariff situation," said Donald
McClymont, indie's co-founder and chief executive officer. “In the
context of this challenging market environment, our Q1 results
demonstrate an enduring business resilience, with growth through
2025 and beyond underpinned by an innovative product portfolio,
strong and growing design-win activity, and multiple anticipated
product ramps for our class-leading ADAS solutions.”
Business Highlights
- Secured iND880 vision processor in-cabin monitoring design-win
with Valeo for a North American OEM
- Awarded eMirror design-win for iND880 vision processor for
Korean OEM targeting trucks and buses
- Multiple design-wins in China for GW5 vision processor
including Mercedes China for eMirror and BYD for in-cabin
monitoring
- Selected by Bosch for second high-volume in-cabin monitoring
application for Toyota
- iND87200 achieved full Qi wireless charging standards
certification by three Tier 1 customers
- High-performance laser solutions achieve multiple design-wins
for industrial measurement applications
- Surpassed 500 million cumulative chips shipped since company’s
inception
Operational Updates
As an acceleration of the previously communicated review of
operational expenditure, we have initiated a series of measures
expected to be completed by year-end, delivering annualized
operational expense reductions of up to $40 million.
Q2 2025 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.
With the current market uncertainty continuing to impact the
timing of anticipated production ramps in 2025, with current
visibility, indie expects revenue between $50 and $53 million, or
$51.5 million at the mid-point.

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 and other
non-recurring professional expenses (including acquisition-related
or other non-recurring 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 and other non-recurring
professional expenses and share-based compensation, from GAAP
revenue. We calculate non-GAAP operating loss by excluding from
GAAP operating loss, any (i) acquisition-related and other
non-recurring professional expenses (including acquisition-related
or other non-recurring 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 and other non-recurring
professional expenses (including acquisition-related or
non-recurring 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 and other non-recurring professional expenses
(including acquisition-related or non-recurring 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 and other non-recurring professional
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, acquisition-related
professional fees and legal expenses and other professional fees
that are non-recurring in nature 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.
Restructuring costs - related to the one-time expenses the
Company incurs to reorganize its operations, which is primarily
related to workforce reduction, facilities and other purchase
commitment charges.
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.
Non-GAAP EBITDA is calculated by removing non-recurring,
irregular and one-time items that may distort EBITDA, to the
current non-GAAP financial measures. We calculate non-GAAP EBITDA
by excluding from GAAP net income (loss), any (i)
acquisition-related and other non-recurring expenses (including
acquisition-related or other non-recurring 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 and other non-recurring professional 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 statements of fact.
