Mobileye Global Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Mobileye’s gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 91 basis points from the prior-year period, driven by reduced costs related to the amortization of intangible assets as a percentage of revenues, partly offset by higher expenses associated with the EyeQ chip. However, adjusted gross margin declined 5 percentage points year over year due to the increased cost of the EyeQ chip.
Adjusted operating margin increased 33 basis points year over year amid revenue growth and decreasing operating expenses as a percentage of revenues.
Mobileye had cash and cash equivalents of $1,212 million as of Dec 30, 2023, up from $1,024 million as of Dec 31, 2022. Operating cash flow for the year (ended Dec 30, 2023) was $394 million. Capex was $98 million during the same timeframe.
