Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
Background
Mobileye Global Inc. (“Mobileye”, “the Company” or “we”) is a leader in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving technologies and solutions, aimed to provide the capabilities required for the future of autonomous driving, leveraging a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies.
Intel Corporation (“Intel” or the “Parent”) directly or indirectly hold all of the Class B common stock of Mobileye, which as of September 28, 2024, represents approximately 87.7% of our outstanding common stock and 98.6% of the voting power of our common stock.
Operations in Israel
On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a series of attacks on civilian and military targets in Southern and Central Israel, to which the Israel Defense Forces have responded. In addition, both Hezbollah and the Houthi movement have attacked military and civilian targets in Northern Israel, to which Israel has responded, including through increased air and ground operations in Lebanon. In addition, the Houthi movement has attacked international shipping lanes in the red sea. Further, on April 13, 2024, and on October 1, 2024, Iran launched a series of drone and missile strikes against Israel, to which Israel has responded. How long and how severe the current conflict in Gaza, Northern Israel, Lebanon or the broader region becomes is unknown at this time and any continued clash among Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran or other countries or militant groups in the region may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. To date our operations and financial results have not been materially affected, although as of October 24, 2024 approximately 8.3% of our employees have been called to reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces. We expect that the current conflict in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and the security escalation in Israel will not have a material impact on our business results in the short term. However, since this is an event beyond our control, its continuation or cessation may affect our expectations. We continue to monitor political and military developments closely and examine the consequences for our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Other events during the reporting period
On March 18, 2024, the Company announced the winding down of the Aftermarket Solutions Unit that provides retrofitted advanced driver assistance technology. This decision was made following a thorough review of this unit’s business prospects and investment needs showing that since automakers and other vehicle manufacturers have steadily increased the rate at which integrated ADAS solutions are installed on new vehicles, the demand and future addressable market for retrofitted ADAS solutions has declined. As a result, this division has seen its revenues decline meaningfully, and in recent years has not positively contributed to Mobileye’s profitability. The plan for winding down of the Aftermarket Solutions Unit resulted in a reduction in workforce of over 100 employees worldwide. The termination costs are in the amount of approximately $4 million, which was recognized as an expense in the nine months ended September 28, 2024.
On September 9, 2024, the Company announced the winding down of the Lidar R&D Unit by the end of 2024 and the cessation of internal development of next-generation frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidars for use in autonomous and highly automated driving systems. The decision was based on a variety of factors, including substantial progress on the Company’s EyeQTM 6-based computer vision perception, increased clarity on the performance of the Company’s internally developed imaging radar, and continued better-than-expected cost reductions in third-party time-of-flight lidar units. The plan for winding down of the Lidar R&D Unit includes a reduction in workforce of approximately 90 employees worldwide. The affected employees are entitled to additional termination costs in the amount of approximately $4.6 million which was recognized as an R&D expense in the three months ended September 28, 2024.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information.
We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal year 2023 was a 52 week fiscal year; fiscal year 2024 is also a 52 week fiscal year.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending 2024. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, except as detailed below regarding accounting for investments. For further detail, see Note 2 in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts and events reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors, including the current economic environment, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, judgments, and assumptions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to useful lives of intangible assets, impairment assessment of intangible assets and goodwill and income taxes. A change in estimates, including a change in the overall market value of the Company, could require reassessments of the items noted above.
Investments
Debt Investments
Marketable debt securities consist of highly liquid U.S. government bonds with maturities of up to six months when purchased. These debt investments are classified as Available For Sale investments and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We consider all highly liquid debt investments that are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Debt investments with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year, are classified within other current assets.
Available for sale debt investments are subject to a periodic impairment review. For investments in an unrealized loss position, we determine whether a credit loss exists. We recognize an allowance for credit losses, up to the amount of the unrealized loss when appropriate, and write down the amortized cost basis of the investment if it is more likely than not we will be required or we intend to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis.
Equity Investments
Equity investments consist of investments in marketable equity securities. Equity investments are measured and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value, whether realized or unrealized, recorded in the statement of operations. Equity investments are classified within other current assets.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
The following is a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of each period end:
| | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · As of | ||||||
| U.S. dollars in millions · September 28, 2024 · December 30, 2023 | ||||||
| Cash | $65 | $58 | ||||
| Short term deposits | | | 294 | | | 222 |
| Money market funds | | | 934 | | | 932 |
| Restricted cash (within other current and other long-term assets) | | 13 | | 14 | ||
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows | | $1,306 | | $1,226 | ||
Fair value measurement
The carrying value of short term deposits classified as cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to the short maturity of these items.
The Company’s investment in money market funds is measured at fair value within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they consist of financial assets for which quoted prices are available in an active market. Interest income related to money market funds for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 amounted to $12 million and $15 million, respectively; and $36 million and $35 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
The Company’s investment in U.S. government bonds is measured at fair value within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they consist of U.S. government bonds for which quoted prices are available in an active market.
The Company’s marketable equity investments are measured at fair value within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they consist of investments in marketable equity securities for which quoted prices are available in an active market.
The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities.
Research and development, net
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred, and consist primarily of personnel, facilities, equipment, and supplies for research and development activities.
The Company occasionally enters into best-efforts nonrefundable, non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) arrangements pursuant to which the Company is reimbursed for a portion of the research and development expenses attributable to specific development programs. The Company does not receive any additional compensation or royalties upon completion of such projects and the potential customer does not commit to purchase the resulting product in the future. The participation reimbursement received by the Company does not depend on whether there are future benefits from the project. All intellectual property generated from these arrangements is exclusively owned by the Company.
Participation in expenses for research and development projects are recognized on the basis of the costs incurred and are netted against research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Research and development reimbursements of $24 million and $24 million were offset against research and development costs in the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively; and $72 million and $57 million were offset in the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Derivatives and hedging
Beginning in 2021, as part of Intel’s corporate hedging program, Intel hedges forecasted cash flows denominated in Israeli Shekels (“ILS”) related to the Company. ILS is the largest operating expense currency of the Company. Intel combines all of its ILS exposures, and as part of Intel’s hedging program enters into hedging contracts to hedge Intel’s combined ILS exposure. Derivative gains and losses attributed to these condensed consolidated financial statements are recorded under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects the statement of operations.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company de-designated its remaining cash flow hedges for forecasted operating expenses denominated in ILS and no longer participates in the hedging services agreement with Intel. As the hedged transactions and cash flows related to the outstanding instruments were expected to occur as originally forecasted, the associated gains and losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet were reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the originally hedged transactions affect earnings. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the outstanding derivative instruments after the de-designation and termination of hedge accounting were immediately reflected in operating expenses.
The change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relating to gains (losses) on derivatives used for hedging was as follows:

| Tax effects | | — | | — | | | — | | | (1) |
| Other comprehensive income (loss), net | $— | $— | | $— | | $9 | ||||
Income Tax
The provision for income tax consists of income taxes in the various jurisdictions where the Company is subject to taxation, primarily the United States and Israel. For interim periods, the Company recognizes an income tax benefit (provision) based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, calculated on a worldwide consolidated basis, expected for the entire year. The Company applies this rate to the year-to-date pre-tax income. The overall effective tax rate is influenced by valuation allowances on tax assets for which no benefit can be recognized due to the Company’s recent history of pretax losses sustained. Tax jurisdictions with forecasted pretax losses for the year for which no benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the worldwide estimated annual effective tax rate, and any associated tax provision or benefit for those jurisdictions is recorded separately.
During the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements, certain components of the Company’s business operations were included in the consolidated U.S. domestic income tax return filed by the Company’s Parent. The Company also files various foreign income tax returns on a separate basis, distinct from its Parent. The income tax provision included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method, as if the Company had filed its own tax returns.
The Company has entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with its Parent that establishes the amount of cash payable for the Company’s share of the tax liability owed on consolidated tax return filings with its Parent. Any differences between taxes payable to the Company’s Parent under the Tax Sharing Agreement and the current tax provision computed on a separate return basis, is reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and financing activities within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (see also Note 7).
The Company reflects tax loss and tax credit carry-forward attributes under the separate return method approach. Such tax attributes may not be benefited in the same period as the Company’s Parent on a consolidated tax return. As a result, there are inherent differences between the Company’s separate tax return method approach and certain actual tax returns filed on a consolidated basis with Intel.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, which include: short-term deposits, money market funds and U.S. government bonds; and also trade accounts receivable.
The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in banks domiciled in the U.S. and Europe, as well as in Israel. Generally, these cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand. Short term bank deposits are held in the aforementioned banks. The money market funds consist of institutional investor money market funds and are readily redeemable to cash, and the U.S. government bonds are also highly liquid. Accordingly, management believes that these bank deposits, money market funds and U.S. government bonds, have minimal credit risk.
The Company’s accounts receivables are derived primarily from sales to Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive manufacturing industry located mainly in the U.S., Europe, and China. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables is mitigated by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation, and account monitoring procedures. Credit is granted based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Trade accounts receivable are typically due from customers within 30 to 60 days.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and has not experienced any material losses in the periods presented. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses for any potential uncollectible amounts. The allowance is based on various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the customers, and other reasonable and supportable information. This allowance consists of an amount based on overall estimated exposure for the receivable portfolio and amounts identified for specific customers. Expected credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the credit loss allowance of trade accounts receivable was not material. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the charge-offs and recoveries in relation to the credit losses were not material.
Customer concentration risk
The Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition for the foreseeable future will likely continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of customers. In the future, these customers may decide not to purchase the Company’s products, may purchase fewer products than in previous years, or may alter their purchasing patterns. Further, the amount of revenue attributable to any single customer or customer concentration generally may fluctuate in any given period. In addition, a decline in the production levels of one or more of the Company’s major customers, particularly with respect to vehicle models for which the Company is a significant supplier, could reduce revenue. The loss of one or more key customers, a reduction in sales to any key customer or the Company’s inability to attract new significant customers could negatively impact revenue and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. See Note 9 related to customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue and more than 10% of the total accounts receivable balance for each of the periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Dependence on a single supplier risk
The Company purchases all its System on Chip (“EyeQ™ SoC”) from a single supplier. Any issues that occur and persist in connection with the manufacture, delivery, quality, or cost of the assembly and testing of inventory could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. See below regarding a shortage in EyeQ™ SoCs that the Company experienced during 2021 and 2022 and may experience in the future, including in ECUs for SuperVision™ and other components for our products.
Supply chain risk
During the fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the semiconductor industry experienced widespread shortages of substrates and other components and available foundry manufacturing capacity. Furthermore, STMicroelectronics, the Company’s sole supplier, was not able to meet our demand for EyeQ™ SoCs during 2022, causing a significant reduction in the Company’s inventory levels. Starting in late 2022 and early 2023, such supply chain disruptions, raw material shortages and manufacturing limitations abated and during 2023, we successfully increased levels of EyeQ™ SoC inventory on hand, mitigating the potential for future supply constraints to cause a shortfall of chips. However, in the event of a reoccurrence of supply chain constraints, and subject to the duration and severity thereof, we may be required to operate with minimal or no inventory of EyeQ™ SoCs or SuperVision™ ECUs on hand. As a result, we are substantially reliant on timely shipments of EyeQTM SoCs from STMicroelectronics and ECUs from Quanta Computer (or other suppliers) to fulfill customer orders and if such a shortfall of chips or ECUs were to occur, we may be unable to offset future supply constraints through the use of inventory on hand. Although we cannot fully predict the length and the severity of the impact these pressures would have on a long-term basis, we do not anticipate that our current supply chain constraints would materially adversely affect our results of operations, capital resources, sales, profits, and liquidity on a long-term basis.
New Accounting pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements effective in future periods
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU improves reportable segments disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · Three months ended · · Nine months ended | ||||||||||||

| Net income (loss) | $(2,715) | $17 | $(3,019) | $(90) | ||||||||
| Denominator: | | | | | | | | | ||||
| Weighted average common shares - basic | | 811 | | 806 | | 808 | | 804 | ||||
| Dilutive effect of equity incentive awards | | | — | | | 4 | | | — | | | — |
| Weighted average common shares - diluted | | | 811 | | | 810 | | | 808 | | | 804 |
| Earnings (loss) per share: | | | | | | | | | ||||
| Basic | | | (3.35) | | | 0.02 | | | (3.74) | | | (0.11) |
| Diluted | | | (3.35) | | | 0.02 | | | (3.74) | | (0.11) | |
For the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders does not include 20.4 million and 5.5 million potential common shares, respectively; and 17.0 million and 14.9 million potential common shares for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, related to restricted stock units granted under the 2022 plan to the Company’s employees, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company’s quarterly benefit (provision) for income taxes and the estimates of its annual effective tax rate, are subject to fluctuation due to several factors, principally including variability in overall pre-tax income and the mix of tax paying components to which such income relates.
The income tax benefit (provision) included in these condensed consolidated financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method, as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. Net operating losses generated by the Company that have been utilized as part of the Parent’s consolidated income tax return filings but have not been utilized by the Company under the separate return method approach, have been reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements because the Company will recognize a benefit for the separate return method net operating losses when determined to be realizable, whether as a deduction against current taxable income in future periods or upon recognition of associated deferred tax assets based on valuation allowance assessments.
As the Company has jurisdictions that have sustained recent losses based on the separate return method, a valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets for which no benefit can be currently realized.
Benefit for income tax in the nine months ended September 28, 2024 was $76 million compared to a provision of $22 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, mainly due to the deferred tax effect of goodwill impairment to the Mobileye reporting unit and a higher loss before income taxes in the nine months ended September 28, 2024 compared to prior year period.
The benefit for income tax in the three months ended September 28, 2024, was $78 million compared to a provision for income tax of $6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, mainly due to the deferred tax effect of goodwill impairment to the Mobileye reporting unit.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into a series of related party arrangements with Intel. For further description of the arrangements refer to Note 9 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2023.
Stock Compensation Recharge Agreement
The Company entered into a stock compensation recharge agreement with Intel, which requires the Company to reimburse Intel for certain amounts, net of any related withholding tax, relating to the value of share-based compensation provided to the Company’s employees for RSUs or stock options exercisable in Intel stock. The reimbursement amounts recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity were $5 million and $7 million for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively and $30 million and $29 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Lease agreements
Under lease agreements with Intel, the Company leases office space in Intel’s buildings. The costs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) primarily on a specific and direct attribution basis. The leasing costs for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, were $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively and $2.1 million and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Other services to a related party
The Company reimbursed its Chief Executive Officer for reasonable travel related expenses incurred while conducting business on behalf of the Company. Travel related reimbursements totaled $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively and $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Administrative Services Agreement
Under the Administrative Services Agreement, Intel provides the Company with administrative and other services. The Company pays fees to Intel for the services rendered based on pricing per service agreed between the Company and Intel.
The costs incurred under this agreement for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively and $2.3 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Technology and Services Agreement
The Technology and Services Agreement, provides a framework for the collaboration on technology projects and services between the Company and Intel (“Technology Projects”), and sets out the licenses granted by each party to its respective technology for the conduct of the Technology Projects, provisions relating to the ownership of certain existing technology, the allocation of rights in any new technology created in the course of the Technology Projects, and certain provisions applicable to the development of a certain radar product of the Company. The Technology and Services Agreement will not apply to projects for the development and manufacture of a Lidar sensor system for automobiles, for which the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement will apply. Pursuant to the Technology and Services Agreement, the Company and Intel will agree to statements of work with additional terms for Technology Projects.
The amount incurred under this agreement for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively and $3.3 million and $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement
The LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement provided the terms that applied to the Company’s collaboration with Intel for the development and manufacture of a Lidar sensor system for ADAS and AV in automobiles (“LiDAR Projects”). On some of the LiDAR programs joint funding applied between Intel and Mobileye until the end of 2027 whereby Mobileye would bear its own Lidar sensor system development costs up to the first $40 million per year and Intel would bear up to $20 million per year of Mobileye’s Lidar sensor system development costs that are greater than $40 million per year.
The LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement further provided that Intel would manufacture certain components for the Company to market and sell as part of a FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous wave) lidar sensor system solely for external environment sensing for ADAS and AV in automobiles. The price for the components Intel would manufacture for the Company would have been based on a cost-plus model. In addition, the agreement also included a profit-sharing model under which Mobileye would pay Intel a share of the gross profit for each LiDAR sensor system or components thereof, based on Intel technology, sold by Mobileye.
On September 9, 2024, Mobileye announced the cessation of further internal development of FMCW lidar and the wind down of the Lidar R&D Unit. In connection with Mobileye’s decision, Mobileye and Intel terminated the LiDAR Product Collaboration Agreement as of October 2, 2024.
There wereno amounts received or receivable from Intel under this agreement for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024.
Tax Sharing Agreement
The Tax Sharing Agreement establishes the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Company and Intel after the completion of the Mobileye IPO with respect to tax matters, including the amount of cash the Company will pay to Intel for its share of the tax liability owed on the consolidated filings in which the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries are included, audit or other tax proceedings. On August 14, 2024, Mobileye and Intel entered into an Amended and Restated Tax Sharing Agreement, which incorporated certain clarifying amendments into the original Tax Sharing Agreement. As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the related party payable to Intel, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement was $37 million.
Intel Sublicense
In June 2024, Intel and its affiliates, including Mobileye, were granted a sublicense to certain patents relating to network-on-chip and other technologies (the “Sublicense”). In connection with Mobileye’s use of the Sublicense, Intel and Mobileye agreed that Mobileye would pay to Intel $0.3 million as Mobileye’s allocation of the consideration paid by Intel for the Sublicense.

NOTE 9 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. The Company has identified its CODM as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
The Company’s organizational structure and management reporting supportstwo operating segments: Mobileye and Moovit. The CODM evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources based on the financial data of these operating segments. Operating segments do not record inter-segment revenue.
Mobileye is the Company’s only reportable operating segment and Moovit is presented within “Other” as per ASC 280, Segment Reporting.
Segment performance is the operating income/(loss) reported excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. The CODM uses segment performance to allocate resources (including employees and financial resources) to segments in the annual budget and forecasting process and also uses that measure to assess the segment performance. The measure of assets has not been disclosed for each segment as it is not regularly reviewed by the CODM.
The accounting policies of the individual segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.
The following are segment results for each period as follows:

NOTE 11 - CONTINGENCIES
U.S. Class Action
On January 16, 2024, a putative class action captioned McAuliffe v. Mobileye Global Inc., et al., 1:24-CV-00310 (S.D.N.Y.), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Mobileye and certain of its current and former officers, asserting violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with defendants’ alleged misstatements and omissions concerning the build-up of excess inventory by certain Tier 1 Mobileye customers. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Mobileye securities between January 26, 2023 and January 3, 2024. On July 12, 2024, the court consolidated the McAuliffe case with a substantively identical case, Le v. Mobileye Global Inc., et al., 1:24-CV-01390 (S.D.N.Y.), appointed a lead plaintiff, and set an initial schedule for the consolidated case. On September 13, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which among other actions named another current officer as a defendant and modified the class period to January 26, 2023 until August 8, 2024. On October 25, 2024, Mobileye and the other named defendants jointly filed a motion to dismiss. We intend to defend the matter vigorously. No provision was recorded in the financial statements as of September 28, 2024.
U.S. Derivative Action
On April 12, 2024, a derivative lawsuit was filed against the members of the Mobileye Board of Directors and Intel Corporation, in its capacity as Mobileye’s controlling shareholder. Mobileye was also named as a nominal defendant. The complaint principally asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment based on alleged failures to take steps to prevent the Company from making allegedly false and misleading statements concerning the build-up of excess inventory by certain Tier 1 Mobileye customers. The complaint also asserts a claim for violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on alleged misstatements and omissions in Mobileye’s 2023 proxy statement. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief. Since May 24, 2024, the derivative action has been stayed by the court pending resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities action.
On June 27, 2024, an additional derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain members of the Mobileye Board of Directors, certain of Mobileye’s current and former officers, and Intel Corporation, in its capacity as Mobileye’s controlling shareholder. Mobileye was also named as a nominal defendant. On July 9, 2024, this derivative action was consolidated with the derivative action originally filed on April 12, 2024 and the consolidated derivative action was stayed by the court pending resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the consolidated securities action. We intend to defend the derivative claims vigorously. No provision for the consolidated derivative action was recorded in the financial statements as of September 28, 2024.
NOTE 12 - GOODWILL
The following table presents the carrying amount of goodwill by segment as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023.
| · · · · · · · · · | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. dollars in millions · Mobileye · Other · Total | ||||||

| Impairment | | (2,695) | | — | | (2,695) |
| September 28, 2024 | | $8,089 | | $111 | | $8,200 |
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for the “Mobileye” reporting unit, due to a recent decline (from August) in the price of the Company’s Class A common stock, and corresponding market capitalization, as well as macroeconomic and industry factors. The quantitative assessment was performed by measuring the reporting unit’s fair value (which substantially constitutes the entire value of the Company) using the income approach, based on the expected present value of estimated future cash flows.
The fair value measurement is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs such as financial projections, terminal growth rate, and discount rate. The results of the impairment analysis indicated that the carrying value of the Mobileye reporting unit was in excess of its fair value. Therefore, the Company has recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $2,695 million ($2,613 million, net of tax), under “goodwill impairment” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
No impairment was identified for the “other” reporting unit.
