“The financial results in the first quarter reflect a supply chain reset as the excess inventory held by our customers is consumed. We are encouraged that the inventory drawdown and associated recovery in revenue appears to be on-track to what we laid out in January,” said Mobileye President and CEO Prof. Amnon Shashua.

Gross margin declined by 2,260 bps to 23%, while adjusted gross margin decreased by 876 bps to 62%, primarily due to the increase in revenue attributable to SuperVision. 

Adjusted operating margin loss was (27)%, primarily due to lower gross margin. Mobileye held $1.22 billion in cash and equivalents as of March 30, 2024. 

All key operating metrics in the first quarter of 2024 were impacted by a significantly lower volume of EyeQ shipments, resulting from the expected large drawdown of inventory at its Tier 1 customers.
