Key Financial Metrics

Note: All amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted. Margins are negative due to operating losses.

Material Changes vs. Prior Comparable Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 24% year-over-year (YoY) for the quarter ($64.0M vs. $51.6M) and 13% YoY for the six-month period ($119.5M vs. $105.7M). Growth was driven primarily by increased product volume.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses increased 5% YoY for the quarter ($99.1M vs. $94.6M). This increase was largely due to higher Cost of Goods Sold (33% increase) driven by volume, offset by the absence of $7.1 million in restructuring costs recorded in the prior year.
• Net Loss Improvement: Net loss attributable to Indie decreased slightly for the quarter ($37.1M vs. $39.0M) but increased for the six-month period ($80.3M vs. $73.6M). The six-month increase was impacted by a $3.7 million loss on debt extinguishment and a $1.3 million loss on contingent consideration fair value changes.
• Debt Restructuring: In March 2026, the company issued $170.5 million in 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031. Proceeds were used to repurchase $104.0 million of 2027 Notes, resulting in a $3.7 million loss on extinguishment.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Divestiture of Wuxi: The company has agreed to sell its 34.38% equity interest in Wuxi indie Microelectronics to United Faith Auto-Engineering Co., Ltd. for approximately $135 million. As of August 7, 2026, the transaction has not closed and does not yet qualify as discontinued operations. Wuxi accounted for approximately 41-44% of consolidated revenue in the recent periods.
• Acquisitions:
  • emotion3D: Completed in September 2025. Contingent consideration liabilities of $5.4 million remain on the balance sheet.
  • CMOS Imaging Sensor Business: Agreed to acquire from ams-OSRAM for approximately $47 million (cash and vendor note). Expected to close in Q3 2026.
• Risks and Contingencies:
  • Macroeconomic Factors: Exposure to inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical tensions (Middle East conflict).
  • Trade Policy: Risks associated with U.S.-China tariffs and trade restrictions affecting supply chains and customer demand.
  • Liquidity: The company maintains an At-The-Market (ATM) equity offering program with approximately $59.8 million available. Management believes current liquidity is sufficient for the next 12 months.
• Unusual Items: The six-month period included a $3.7 million loss from the extinguishment of debt and a $1.3 million loss from changes in the fair value of contingent considerations related to the emotion3D acquisition.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Wuxi Divestiture Status: Verify the timeline and regulatory approval status for the sale of Wuxi, which represents a significant portion of current revenue.
• Debt Maturity Profile: Review the maturity schedule of the $416 million debt portfolio, specifically the 2027, 2029, and 2031 convertible notes.
• Contingent Consideration: Monitor the achievement of revenue milestones for the emotion3D acquisition, which could trigger additional cash or stock payments.
• Inventory Levels: Inventory increased to $67.6 million (from $48.6 million year-ago), representing a significant use of working capital; verify obsolescence risks.
• Geographic Concentration: Confirm exposure to Greater China, which accounted for approximately 58% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
