indie Semiconductor (NASDAQ:INDI) Issues Quarterly Earnings Results
by Danessa Lincoln · The Markets Dailyindie Semiconductor (NASDAQ:INDI – Get Free Report) announced its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported ($0.05) EPS for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of ($0.04) by ($0.01), FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $70.24 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $70.21 million. indie Semiconductor had a negative net margin of 61.02% and a negative return on equity of 34.00%. The business’s revenue for the quarter was up 30.8% on a year-over-year basis. During the same quarter in the prior year, the company earned ($0.07) earnings per share.
Here are the key takeaways from indie Semiconductor’s conference call:
- Q3 revenue was $70.2 million, up 31% year over year and 10% sequentially, with core business revenue up about 14% sequentially. Management guided to Q4 revenue of $73 million–$81 million, implying roughly 33% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
- Automotive radar has entered high-volume production, and indie said a top-three North American OEM selected its technology. Management expects radar to be a significant growth driver in 2027, though it did not disclose the OEM program’s timing or ramp details.
- Demand for indie’s DRAM-less vision processor is accelerating amid memory shortages and pricing pressure; management said fewer than 20% of its design wins have begun ramping. The company expects organic radar and vision growth to more than replace Wuxi revenue in 2027.
- Indie cited design wins in humanoid robotics, drones, and warehouse robotics, and said its vision portfolio secured more than 40 Physical AI wins this year. It is redirecting a substantial portion of its 2027 R&D budget toward the market, but excluded these wins from backlog because their revenue potential and ramp timing remain uncertain.
- Gross margin slipped to 41.6%, which management attributed largely to mix and price pressure in Wuxi; the planned Wuxi sale remains subject to Chinese regulatory review. Indie reported $144.3 million in cash and expects non-GAAP profitability in Q2 2027, but those milestones depend on execution and the divestiture has not closed.
