Insights
Revenue grew modestly while non-GAAP losses and cash position improved, and Q2 guidance signals continued expansion.
indie generated Q1 2026 revenue of $55.5 million, up 3% year over year, reflecting steady demand across radar, vision and perception products. Although GAAP net loss attributable to the company increased to $43.2 million, non-GAAP operating loss narrowed to $11.1 million, indicating better underlying profitability trends.
Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $8.8 million from $13.1 million in the prior-year quarter, helped by operating leverage as revenue grew and non-GAAP adjustments such as $20.6 million of share-based compensation. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reached about $184.7 million, providing liquidity against total debt of roughly $415.1 million.
Guidance for Q2 2026 calls for revenue between $59 million and $65 million, implying sequential growth from Q1. The outlook assumes about $37 million from the core business and $25 million from Wuxi indie Micro, alongside flat non-GAAP operating expenses around $38 million. A $25 million radar production order and design wins with customers such as NIO and Mahindra support the growth narrative disclosed here.

indie Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. – May 7, 2026 – indie Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDI), an automotive solutions innovator, today announced first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2026. Q1 revenue was $55.5 million. On a GAAP basis operating loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $38.9 million, the same as the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $11.1 million, compared to $15.1 million a year ago, representing continued progress towards profitability. First quarter 2026 GAAP loss per share was $0.21, while Non-GAAP loss per share was $0.06.
“indie delivered a solid first quarter, with revenue exceeding the midpoint of our guidance, up 3 percent year over year,” said Donald McClymont, indie’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “Notably, we have received a production order of $25 million from our Tier 1 radar partner, driven by demand from two automotive OEMs and marking a significant commercial milestone. With continued expansion into quantum and physical AI, indie is ideally situated to drive consistent, profitable growth.”
Business Highlights
Q2 2026 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 header captioned “Discussion Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release for a further discussion of our use of non-GAAP measures.
For the second quarter of 2026, indie expects revenue to be between $59 million and $65 million, or $62 million at the midpoint. At the midpoint of our outlook, we anticipate a revenue contribution from our core business of approximately $37 million and approximately $25 million from Wuxi indie Micro.

Discussion Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our earnings release contains some or all of the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”): (i) non-GAAP operating loss, (ii) non-GAAP net loss, (iii) Adjusted EBITDA, (iv) non-GAAP share count and (v) non-GAAP net loss per share. As set forth in the tables above, we derive such non-GAAP financial measures by excluding certain expenses and other items from the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure. Management may use these non-GAAP financial measures to, amongst other things, evaluate operating performance and compare it against past periods or against peer companies, make operating decisions, forecast for future periods and to determine payments under compensation programs. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and competitors more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or improve management’s ability to forecast future periods.
We provide investors with non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share because we believe it is important for investors to be able to closely monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures give investors an additional method to evaluate historical operating performance and identify trends, an additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance and a method to facilitate certain comparisons of our operating results to those of our peer companies. We further believe these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to assess the overall financial performance of our ongoing operations by eliminating the impact of (i) acquisition-related and other non-recurring professional expenses (including acquisition-related or other non-recurring professional fees and legal expenses, deemed compensation expense and expenses recognized in relation to changes in contingent consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii) restructuring costs, (iv) gains or losses recognized in relation to changes in the fair value of contingent considerations issued by indie, acquisition-related holdbacks and unrealized gains or losses from currency hedging contracts, (v) non-cash interest expenses related to the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, (vi) share-based compensation, and (vii) income tax benefit (provision). We believe that disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures contributes to enhanced financial reporting transparency and provides investors with added clarity about complex financial performance measures.
We do not report a GAAP measure of gross profit or gross margin because certain costs related to contract revenues are expensed as incurred and included in research and development expenses, and not in cost of sales, as it is not practicable for us to bifurcate these expenses. We calculate non-GAAP operating loss by excluding from GAAP operating loss, any (i) acquisition-related and other non-recurring professional expenses (including acquisition-related or other non-recurring professional fees and legal expenses, deemed compensation expense and expenses recognized in relation to changes in contingent consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii) inventory cost realignments, (iv) restructuring costs and (v) share-based compensation. We calculate non-GAAP net loss by excluding from GAAP net income (loss), any (i) acquisition-related and other non-recurring professional expenses (including acquisition-related or non-recurring professional fees and legal expenses, deemed compensation expense and expenses recognized in relation to changes in contingent consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii) inventory cost realignments, (iv) restructuring costs, (v) gains or losses recognized in relation to changes in the fair value of contingent considerations issued by indie, acquisition-related holdbacks and unrealized gains or losses from currency hedging contracts, (vi) non-cash interest expenses related to the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, (vii) share-based compensation, and (viii) income tax benefit (provision). We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by excluding from GAAP net income (loss), any (i) acquisition-related and other non-recurring professional expenses (including acquisition-related or non-recurring professional fees and legal expenses, deemed compensation expense
and expenses recognized in relation to changes in contingent consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii) depreciation of fixed assets, (iv) inventory cost realignments, (v) restructuring costs, (vi) gains or losses recognized in relation to changes in the fair value of contingent considerations issued by indie, acquisition-related holdbacks and unrealized gains or losses from currency hedging contracts, (vii) non-cash interest expenses related to the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, (viii) share-based compensation, and (ix) income tax benefit (provision). We calculate non-GAAP share count by adding (i) weighted average Class A common stock, (ii) weighted average Class V common stock held by minority shareholders, which are exchangeable into Class A common stock and (iii) vested but unexercised options issued as part of the TeraXion acquisition. While both weighted average Class V common stock and vested but unexercised options issued as part of the TeraXion acquisition are considered anti-dilutive under ASC 260, therefore excluded from the GAAP earnings per share calculation, management includes both categories in this non-GAAP presentation because they will convert into Class A common stock over time. Management believes that including these categories provides investors with a more transparent view of the Company’s capital structure and potential impact of such conversions. Non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss by non-GAAP share count.
We exclude the items identified above from the respective non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to each such excluded item below:
Acquisition-related and other non-recurring professional expenses - including such items as, when applicable, fair value charges incurred upon the sale of acquired inventory, accounting impact to the cost of goods sold due to one-time inventory costing realignment with a specific supplier, acquisition-related professional fees and legal expenses and other professional fees that are non-recurring in nature because they are not considered by management in making operating decisions and we believe that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to our future business operations and thereby including such charges do not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges or reversals are incurred.
Amortization expenses - related to the amortization expense for acquired intangible assets and certain license rights.
Depreciation expenses - related to the depreciation expenses for all property and equipment on hand.
Inventory cost realignments - related to the supplier allocation premiums introduced during COVID that is currently incorporated in our inventory cost but have since been eliminated going forward. The impact of this premium is deemed non-recurring and therefore not considered by management in its evaluation of the ongoing performance of the business.
Share-based compensation - related to the non-cash compensation expense associated with equity awards granted to our employees (including those granted in lieu of cash compensation) and employer tax related to employee stock transactions. These expenses are not considered by management in making operating decisions and such expenses do not have a direct correlation to our future business operations.
Restructuring costs - related to the one-time expenses the Company incurs to reorganize its operations, which is primarily related to workforce reduction, long-lived intangible asset impairment, facilities and other purchase commitment charges.
Gain (loss) from change in fair values - because these adjustments (1) are not considered by management in making operating decisions, (2) are not directly controlled by management, (3) do not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recognized and (4) cannot make comparisons between peer company performance less reliable.
Non-cash interest expense - related to the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs because (1) these expenses are not considered by management in making decision with respect to financing decisions, and (2) these generally reflect non-cash costs.
Income tax benefit (provision) - related to the estimated income tax benefit (provision) that does not result in a current period tax refunds (payments).
The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered in isolation and are not an alternative for the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to each such non-GAAP financial measure. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures and are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures may have limited value as analytical tools because they may exclude certain expenses that some investors consider important in evaluating our operating performance or ongoing business performance. Further, non-GAAP financial measures are likely to have limited value for purposes of drawing comparisons between companies as a result of different companies potentially calculating similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures in different ways because non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that may distort EBITDA, to the current non-GAAP financial measures. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by excluding from GAAP net income (loss), any (i) acquisition-related and other non-recurring expenses (including acquisition-related or other non-recurring professional fees and legal expenses, deemed compensation expense and expenses recognized in relation to changes in contingent consideration obligations), (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and certain license rights, (iii) depreciation of property, plant and equipment, (iv) inventory cost realignments, (v) restructuring costs, (vi) gains or losses recognized in relation to changes in the fair value of contingent considerations issued by indie, acquisition-related holdbacks and unrealized gains or losses from currency hedging contracts, (vii) non-cash interest expenses related to the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, (viii) share-based compensation, and (viii) income tax benefit (provision).
To the extent our disclosures contain forward-looking estimates of non-GAAP financial measures, these measures are provided to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) we provide them to investors on a historical basis. We are generally unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP measures because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of such non-GAAP measures are difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control and, therefore, is not available without unreasonable efforts. Such events may include unanticipated changes in our GAAP effective tax rate, unanticipated one-time charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets, inventory, intangibles, or goodwill), unanticipated acquisition-related and other non-recurring professional expenses, unanticipated settlements, gains, losses and impairments and other unanticipated items not reflective of ongoing operations. Our forward-looking estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as statements of fact.

Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, projected financial information and outlook; statements regarding future events and opportunities; our product and technology roadmap; estimates and forecasts of financial and other performance metrics; projections of market opportunity, including opportunities in emerging and adjacent markets; the pending sale of our equity interest in Wuxi indie Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd, its projected timing to close, impact to our consolidated financial statements and our sales in China, as well as the timing and anticipated benefits of our acquisitions. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results included in such forward-looking statements. In addition to the factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026, as supplemented by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in our other public reports filed with the SEC (including those identified under “Risk Factors” therein), the following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates and volatility in the credit and financial markets; our reliance on contract manufacturing and outsourced supply chain and the availability of semiconductors and manufacturing capacity; competitive products and pricing pressures; our ability to win competitive bid selection processes and achieve additional design wins; the impact of the pending sale of our entire equity interest in Wuxi and any potential adverse effects of such sale on our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price; the impact of recent acquisitions made and any other acquisitions we may make, including our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and risks that the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions may not be fully realized or take longer to realize than expected; our ability to develop, market and gain acceptance for new and enhanced products and expand into new technologies and markets; trade restrictions and trade tensions, including the recent trade and tariff actions taken or proposed by the U.S. government affecting the countries where we operate; armed conflict, political or economic instability in our target markets. We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this presentation or in our other public filings, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Industry and Market Data In this presentation, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding the sectors in which we compete and other industry data. We obtained this information and statistics from third-party sources, including reports by market research firms. Although we believe these sources are reliable, they have not independently verified the information and we do not guarantee their accuracy and completeness. We have supplemented this information where necessary with information from discussions with our customers and our own internal estimates, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and our management’s best view regarding information that is not publicly available. Trademarks and Trade Names indie and the indie logo are our trademarks. This presentation also contains trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners.

DISCLAIMER Use of GAAP, Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures This presentation contains certain financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per share. We do not report a GAAP or non-GAAP measure of gross profit or gross margin because certain costs related to contract revenues are expensed as incurred and included in research and development expenses, and not in cost of sales, as it is not practicable for us to bifurcate these expenses. We believe that non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Management may use these non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate operating performance and compare it against past periods or against peer companies, make operating decisions, forecast for future periods and to determine payments under compensation programs. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and competitors more difficult, analyze trends in ongoing operations or improve management’s ability to forecast future periods. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered in isolation and are not an alternative for the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to each such non-GAAP financial measure. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures and are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures in our most recent earnings release. Non-GAAP financial measures may have limited value as analytical tools because they may exclude certain expenses that some investors consider important in evaluating our operating performance or ongoing business performance. Further, non-GAAP financial measures are likely to have limited value for purposes of drawing comparisons between companies as a result of different companies potentially calculating similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures in different ways because non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
