“indie continues to demonstrate resilience in the face of challenging automotive market conditions," said Donald McClymont, indie's co-founder and chief executive officer. “We believe we’ve successfully navigated the cyclical trough that has persisted through 2024 for the automotive market and anticipate a return to revenue growth in the second half of 2024, driven by new product ramps in vehicle camera systems, power delivery, and advanced lighting solutions as well as key global flagship car launches, featuring increased indie content. Looking further ahead, we remain committed to resuming our trajectory of outsized growth in 2025 and beyond, propelled by the start of production ramps of our large-scale radar and computer vision programs. Longer term, we look forward to introducing new generations of sensor fusion SoC’s leveraging our capabilities in radar and computer vision which will position us uniquely in the industry,” added McClymont.
Business Highlights
- Secured Automatic-Emergency-Breaking (AEB) program wins across three global OEMs
- Captured lighting design wins at two of North America’s largest OEMs as well as a key South Korean OEM
- Achieved functional verification of the radar SoC with our lead radar customer for 2025 ramp
- Validated next generation radar solution for high resolution in-cabin vital signs monitoring and vehicle dynamics sensing

Q3 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 third quarter of 2024, we expect indie’s revenue to increase within the range of zero to 5 percent, or 2.5 percent at the midpoint, outpacing the projected Automotive industry performance,” said Raja Bal, indie’s acting chief financial officer and chief accounting officer. “At the same time, we expect to achieve gross margins of approximately 50 percent. Based on the production ramp plans for our Radar and Vision programs, we anticipate a return to our industry-leading growth trajectory in 2025 and beyond.”
