Current report

Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $46.0 million, compared to $41.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $4.4 million or 11% was primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in share-based compensation expense and $0.8 million increase in personnel cost. Increases in share-based compensation expense were primarily driven by new equity awards granted since the same period in prior year. We expect research and development expense to stabilize over time.

Current report

Restructuring costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.3 million due to the restructuring plan initiated in August 2024. See Note 3 —Restructuring and Other Chargesfor additional discussion of our recent restructuring plan.

Previous report

Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $41.3 million, compared to $42.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Previous wording

Current and continued inflationary conditions have led, and may continue to lead to, rising prices or rising interest rates, which has had a dampening effect on overall economic activity and consumer demand for automotive products. Additionally, the recent conflict in the Middle East and the implications of these events has created global political and economic uncertainty. We are closely monitoring developments, including potential impact to our business, customers, suppliers, our employees and operations in Israel, the Middle East and elsewhere. At this time, the impact to indie is subject to change given the volatile nature of the situation.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $52.4 million, compared to $52.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.2 million, which was primarily driven by a $3.6 million increase in product revenue and largely offset by $3.3 million decrease in contract revenue. The increase in product revenue was due primarily to change in product mix as well as higher product volume (units sold) given the continued growth in demand from our customers globally as well as the recent acquisitions. These increases were partially offset by changes in average selling price (“ASP”). The decrease in contract revenue of $3.3 million was primarily due to a large multi-year non-recurring engineering project that commenced in early 2022 that is winding down towards its completion stage in the current year.

The decrease in product revenue was due primarily to change in product volume (units sold) as a result of the cyclical trough in the automotive market.
