August 11, 2023 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
indie Semiconductor, Inc., an Autotech solutions innovator, announced Q2 results for the period ended June 30, 2023. Second quarter revenue was up 102 percent from the same period a year ago and 29 percent sequentially to a record $52.1 million, at the higher end of the Company’s guidance range and slightly ahead of consensus estimates. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded 363 basis points year-over-year to 52.2 percent and was also better than guidance. On a GAAP basis, second quarter 2023 operating loss was $40.7 million compared to $30.0 million a year ago. Non-GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $16.3 million, versus $17.0 million during the same period last year, reflecting deeper R&D and SG&A investments yet a 35 percentage point improvement in operating margin.
“We once again delivered revenue and gross margin ahead of expectations in the second quarter of 2023, putting us on pace to more than double indie’s business base for a third year in a row,” said Donald McClymont, indie’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “Our steep growth trajectory reflects design win momentum across ADAS, user experience and electric vehicle applications. indie is increasingly well positioned to capitalize on these triple megatrends and the resulting $48 billion Autotech market opportunity, backed by our highly innovative semiconductor and software portfolio, targeted acquisitions, more than 400 patents and applications worldwide as well as engagements across all leading global automotive OEMs.”

Q3 2023 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 attached Discussion Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this press release for a further discussion of our use of non-GAAP measures.
“Based on strong order flow and the depth of our design win pipeline, we plan to continue to deliver outsized top line growth over the forecast horizon, towards our 60 percent gross and 30 percent operating margin target model,” said Thomas Schiller, indie’s chief financial officer and executive vice president of strategy. “In the meantime, for the third quarter of 2023, we intend to scale into a $240 million annualized revenue run-rate, up 100 percent year-over-year and 15 percent sequentially as well as up more than 10-fold versus our 2020 revenue level, with further non-GAAP gross margin improvement, yielding a narrower operating loss. Perhaps most importantly, we remain on track to achieve non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of this year, driven by sustained sales growth, gross margin expansion and operating expense leverage.”
