Forward guidance

Luminar is revising elements of its FY 2024 financial guidance to reflect updated expectations of vehicle production ramps in 2H’24, the renegotiation of a non-series production customer contract, as well as the announced capital structure actions.

Tailwinds

  • YE’24 Cash & Liquidity increased from >$150 million to >$240 million, which still includes the $50 million line of credit obtained in Q1’24 that remains undrawn.

Headwinds

  • Shifting its outlook for a revenue run-rate in the mid-$30 million range from 2H’24 to now in FY’25 due to slower anticipated series production ramp.
  • Luminar expects Q3’24 revenue to be in line with to modestly higher versus Q2’24, as a QoQ increase in series production volume is offset by a QoQ decrease in revenue from a non-series production customer for a contract expected to be renegotiated.
