indie Semiconductor (NASDAQ:INDI) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Expectations By $0.01 EPS

indie Semiconductor (NASDAQ:INDI) released its quarterly earnings results on Thursday. The company reported ($0.05) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.04) by ($0.01), FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $70.24 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate 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 quarterly revenue was up 30.8% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same period in the prior year, the firm 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.
