Mobileye Global Inc. (MBLY - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings per share of 9 cents, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 8 cents. However, earnings came in lower than 17 cents per share recorded in the year-ago quarter.
Total revenues amounted to $439 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $427 million. However, the metric was down 3% year over year. This was primarily due to a 10% reduction in EyeQ SoC-related revenues. The decrease stemmed from Tier 1 customers using up their excess inventory to meet demand in the second quarter of 2024. However, this drop was somewhat mitigated by a notable increase in SuperVision-related revenues on a year-over-year basis.
In the second quarter, Mobileye’s gross margin decreased 173 basis points year over year. The decline was mainly due to a higher percentage of revenues from SuperVision, which was partially balanced by lower costs from amortization of intangible assets relative to revenues. Also, the adjusted gross margin declined 256 basis points year over year amid the increased proportion of revenues from SuperVision.
Adjusted operating margin declined to 18% compared with the year-ago quarter's 31%. The decrease was attributed to higher operating expenses on a similar revenue base and a lower adjusted gross margin.
MBLY had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 billion as of Jun 29, 2024, compared to $1.21 million as of Dec 30, 2023. Operating cash flow for the year (ended Jun 29, 2024) was $30 million. Capex was $24 million during the same time frame.
Mobileye has slashed its sales and profit guidance due to reduced expectations for EyeQ and SuperVision shipments for the remainder of 2024. For full-year 2024, Mobileye now estimates revenues in the range of $1.6-$1.68 billion, down from $1.83-$1.96 billion guided earlier. It expects operating loss in the band of $580-$531 million, wider than the prior guided range of $468-$378 million. Adjusted operating income is estimated in the band of $152-$201 million, down from $270-$360 million guided earlier.

Mobileye currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
