Positive
  • Beat guidance on cash burn for the fifth consecutive quarter
  • Secured access to up to $50 million in additional liquidity
  • Extended cash runway into the third quarter of 2025
  • Significant OEM interest following Apollo product launch in China
  • Successful technology transfer to Tier 1 partner LITEON
Negative
  • GAAP net loss of $(8.0) million for Q2 2024
  • Non-GAAP net loss of $(6.2) million for Q2 2024

Insights

AEye's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While the company reports significant OEM interest in their Apollo product, particularly in China, financial metrics remain challenging. The GAAP net loss of $8.0 million ($1.16 per share) and non-GAAP net loss of $6.2 million ($0.91 per share) indicate ongoing profitability struggles. However, the company's cash burn reduction for the fifth consecutive quarter is a positive sign.

The extended cash runway into Q3 2025, bolstered by $28 million in cash and equivalents, plus access to up to $50 million in additional liquidity, provides some financial breathing room. This could potentially extend to a four-year runway, which is important for a company in the capital-intensive lidar sector. The capital-light partnership model with LITEON may help reduce costs, but concrete revenue growth will be key to watch in future quarters.

AEye's Apollo product launch seems to be gaining traction, especially in the Chinese market. The collaboration with ATI and LighTekton, leading to multiple OEM introductions, is a positive indicator of market interest. However, it's important to note that interest doesn't always translate to sales.

The partnership with LITEON, a Tier 1 supplier, is particularly noteworthy. The successful technology transfer and joint product cost reduction initiative could potentially give AEye a competitive edge in the price-sensitive automotive market. LITEON's expertise in industrializing products and their established supply chain could accelerate AEye's path to market.

The company's focus on software-defined lidar and the adaptive 4Sight™ Intelligent Sensing Platform aligns with industry trends towards more flexible and intelligent sensing solutions. However, the lack of specific performance metrics or comparative data makes it challenging to assess AEye's technological advantages over competitors.

Significant OEM interest in Apollo; Company looks toward market launch

Beat guidance on cash burn; new capital resources extend runway

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIDR), a global leader in adaptive, high performance lidar solutions, today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Management Commentary

“AEye gained significant momentum in the second quarter with our Apollo product launch, OEM and partner engagements, and access to additional capital, which could extend our cash runway considerably. We are pleased with the significant interest we saw in China following our Apollo product launch in Suzhou in June. Our on-going collaboration with ATI and LighTekton has exceeded our expectations and has led to multiple OEM introductions.

“With respect to our Tier 1 partner, LITEON, we are seeing tangible results from their ability to leverage their supply chain coupled with their expertise in optics. We have successfully completed the technology transfer to them and are now jointly executing a product cost reduction initiative. This partnership continues to drive OEM interest due to LITEON’s track record of industrializing products and bringing innovative cost-competitive automotive components to the global market.

“Our capital-light partnership model allows us to concentrate on key fundamentals: advancing our technology, attracting strategic partners, and driving company value with modest capital requirements compared to our peers. We are entering the next chapter in AEye’s development where we will bring Apollo to market and actively pursue product design wins with the help of our partners,” said Matt Fisch, AEye CEO. “Overall, our financial performance and market trends indicate a positive trajectory, and we are excited about the future of AEye.”

Key Q2 2024 Financial Highlights

“During the second quarter, we strengthened our balance sheet, extended our cash runway into the third quarter of 2025, and secured access to up to $50 million in additional liquidity. At the end of the second quarter, AEye had $28 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. We also reduced our net cash burn for the fifth consecutive quarter, and AEye is on track to outperform our cash burn guidance for 2024. Factoring in our ongoing cost savings initiatives, in combination with our existing liquidity position (including up to $50 million in liquidity pursuant to the previously announced equity reserve facility with New Circle), and any additional funds raised from capital markets activity, could provide us with up to four years of cash runway,” said Conor Tierney, AEye CFO.

In December 2023, the company effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split and all the financial information disclosed has been adjusted to account for the revised share count numbers.

  • GAAP net loss was $(8.0) million, or $(1.16) per share, based on 6.9 million weighted average common shares outstanding.
  • Non-GAAP net loss was $(6.2) million, or $(0.91) per share, based on 6.9 million weighted average common shares outstanding.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $28 million as of June 30, 2024.

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections, and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements included in this press release include statements about the launch of AEye’s new product, Apollo, the continued momentum with OEM and partner engagements, access to additional capital and the impact on AEye’s cash runway, and the Company’s cash position and cost reduction initiatives, among others. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are very difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from the assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of AEye. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) the risks that the significant OEM interest AEye has seen in its Apollo product, including the multiple OEM introductions, may not materialize into revenue to the extent anticipated, or in the time frame anticipated, or at all; (ii) the risks that the new capital resources may not extend AEye’s runway to the extent anticipated, or at all; (iii) the risks that the tangible results seen from AEye’s Tier 1 partner, LITEON, may not materialize to the extent anticipated, or at all; (iv) the risks that the OEM interest driven by AEye’s partnership with LITEON may not continue to the extent anticipated, or at all; (v) the risks that AEye’s concentration on key fundamentals may not yield the results anticipated, or in the time frame anticipated; (vi) the risks that AEye may be unable to bring the Apollo product to market as anticipated, or at all, nor be able to actively pursue product design wins to the extent anticipated, or at all; (vii) the risks that the financial performance of AEye and the market trends may not continue as anticipated; (viii) the risks that the cash on hand may not be sufficient to extend AEye’s cash runway into the third quarter of 2025 due to unforeseen or other circumstances; (ix) the risks that AEye will be unable to access some or all of the $50 million in additional liquidity due to the limitations set forth in the associated stock purchase agreement, or otherwise; (x) the risks that AEye may be unable to outperform its cash burn guidance for 2024; (xi) the risks that the ongoing cash savings initiatives, capital raises, and other liquidity resources may not be sufficient to create a four-year cash runway, due to the inability to access the other liquidity sources, unforeseen circumstances, or otherwise; (xii) the risks that AEye’s continuing cost reduction initiatives may not continue to be effective to the extent anticipated, or at all, due to unforeseen circumstances, or such reductions may have other non-cash consequences negatively impacting AEye’s business operations; (xiii) the risks that market conditions create delays in the demand for commercial lidar products beyond AEye’s expectations; (xiv) the risks that lidar adoption occurs slower than anticipated or fails to occur at all; (xv) the risks that AEye’s products may not meet the diverse range of performance and functional requirements of target markets and customers; (xvi) the risks that AEye’s products may not function as anticipated by AEye, or by target markets and customers; (xvii) the risks that AEye may not be in a position to adequately or timely address either the near or long-term opportunities that may or may not exist in the evolving autonomous transportation industry; (xviii) the risks that laws and regulations are adopted impacting the use of lidar that AEye is unable to comply with, in whole or in part; (xix) the risks associated with changes in competitive and regulated industries in which AEye operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, and changes in laws and regulations affecting AEye’s business; (xx) the risks that AEye is unable to adequately implement its business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; and (xxi) the risks of economic downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive and evolving industry in which AEye operates. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by current or future global conflicts and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, both of which continue to cause economic uncertainty. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the periodic report that AEye has most recently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and other documents filed by us or that will be filed by us from time to time with the SEC.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements; AEye assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
