The company surpassed market expectations in third quarter of 2024 (Q3 2024), reporting revenue of USD 54.0 million, reflecting a 3.1% sequential growth.

Additionally, Indie’s strategic backlog grew 12% YoY, reaching USD 7.1 billion, indicating robust design-win momentum, especially in the vision and radar areas.

However, in Q3FY24 net loss increased to USD 54.59 million from USD 18.67 million in Q3FY23, mainly due to reduced gains from changes in the fair value of warrants and higher operating expenses. Operating cash flow declined to USD 9.35 million, and net cash decreased by 36.12%, from USD 151.68 million to USD 96.89 million, due to cash outflows from operating and investing activities, partially offset by inflows from financing activities.
