Restructures $422 Million of Debt with
Convertible Exchange & Raises $100 Million of New Capital
Today, Luminar (NASDAQ: LAZR), a leading global automotive
technology company, provided its quarterly business update and
financial results for the second quarter of 2024.
Luminar announced today that it has entered into private,
separately negotiated transactions to reduce its debt, extend
maturities, and receive $100 million in new capital to bolster its
balance sheet. This directly addresses the company’s capital
structure overhang, captures a discount on existing notes, and
helps provide the financial runway to execute the company’s
business plan.
Key highlights of the transactions include:
- Holders of approximately $422 million in Convertible Senior
Notes due 2026 have agreed to exchange for approximately $274
million of Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2030, an
approximate $148 million reduction in aggregate convertible debt
principal amount.
- Additionally, these bond investors have agreed to provide
Luminar with $100 million of new non-convertible Senior Secured
Notes due 2028.
- The extension in maturity of Luminar’s debt from 2026 to 2030
and the $100 million of new capital provides the company with
additional liquidity to help realize its growth and vision on its
path to profitability.
- The transactions are expected to be completed in the coming
days, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions.
“We’ve now successfully ramped production for the first global
production vehicle with standardized LiDAR, and our shift from all
eyes on launch towards cost and efficiency are beginning to pay off
as we begin to convert our multi-billion-dollar Order Book,” said
Austin Russell, Founder and CEO. “This transformational transaction
signed today represents a level of conviction from our
institutional stakeholders that Luminar is here to stay and thrive
this decade. We were able to capitalize on the challenging capital
markets conditions in our industry to bolster our balance sheet and
raise substantive additional capital from investors to fulfill our
business plan.”
Business Milestones & Mid-Year
Update:
At the beginning of the year, Luminar outlined the following
business milestone targets to be achieved by year-end 2024. As of
the mid-year mark, the company is on track to meet or beat each of
these targets as follows:
1. Pass final Run at Rate production audit ahead of Volvo
SOP; Achieve global SOP & ramp with Volvo.
- Now achieved.
- In April 2024, Luminar announced its SOP for Volvo Cars. In
June, Volvo announced the EX90 SOP. Through Q2’24, Luminar
successfully ramped its production and met all of its key customer
deliverables.
2. Launch TPK facility for additional capacity and improved
cost.
- On track.
- In April 2024, Luminar launched an expanded partnership with
TPK, known as LTEC, to substantially reduce cost of
industrialization. Subsequently, the company announced that it
reduced its workforce by approximately 20% as it transitions to
this asset-light industrialization model.
3. Unveil next-generation LiDAR; Deliver samples to
customers.
- Achieved unveiling of Luminar Halo. On track for sample
deliveries to select automakers by year-end.
- Luminar is realizing the benefits of its existing ~$2 billion
technology platform, with Luminar Halo development cost and time
substantially lower than its previous LiDAR generation.
4. Expand ecosystem around LiDAR (e.g. Semiconductors, AI
Engine, Software, Insurance).
- On track.
- In Q2’24, Luminar launched its Sentinel software[1] solution,
with first shipments to automakers expected by the end of
Q3’24.
- Luminar Semiconductor, Inc. continues to grow, including the
acquisition of EM4 to expand from chips to modules with its
customers.
Key Q2 2024 Financials:
- Revenue: Q2 Revenue was $16.5 million, up 2% compared to
Q2’23, but down 22% compared to Q1’24, consistent with guidance for
revenue to potentially be lower QoQ.
- Gross Loss: Q2 Gross Loss was $(13.7) million on a GAAP
basis and $(11.9) million on a non-GAAP basis.
- Net Loss: Q2 GAAP Net Loss was $(130.6) million, or
$(0.29) per share; Q2 Non-GAAP Net Loss was $(81.1) million, or
$(0.18) per share.
- Cash & Liquidity: Ended Q2’24 with $211.3 million in
Cash & Liquidity, which includes marketable securities and a
$50 million line of credit executed in Q1’24 that has not been
drawn upon.
Financial Outlook:
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 the company focuses on series production and path to
profitability, as well as the announced capital structure
actions.
- Revenue: With a slower anticipated series production
ramp, Luminar is shifting its outlook for a revenue run-rate in the
mid-$30 million range from 2H’24 to now in FY’25.
- Cash & Liquidity: Due to the announced capital
structure actions, Luminar is increasing its guidance for YE’24
Cash & Liquidity from >$150 million to >$240 million,
which still includes the $50 million line of credit obtained in
Q1’24 that remains undrawn.
- Q3’24 Revenue: 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.

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial
measures and certain other metrics. Non-GAAP financial measures and
these other metrics do not have any standardized meaning and are
therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures
and metrics presented by other companies. Luminar considers these
non-GAAP financial measures and metrics to be important because
they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the
company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what we
consider to be our core operating performance, as well as unusual
events. The company’s management uses these measures and metrics to
(i) illustrate underlying trends in the company’s business that
could otherwise be masked by the effect of income or expenses that
are excluded from non-GAAP measures, and (ii) establish budgets and
operational goals for managing the Company’s business and
evaluating its performance. In addition, investors often use
similar measures to evaluate the operating performance of a
company. Non-GAAP financial measures and metrics are presented only
as supplemental information for purposes of understanding the
company’s operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures and
metrics should not be considered a substitute for financial
information presented in accordance with GAAP.
This release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including
non-GAAP cost of sales, gross loss/gross profit, net loss, and free
cash flow. Non-GAAP cost of sales is defined as GAAP cost of sales
adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization of
intangible assets, restructuring charges, and accelerated
depreciation related to certain property, plant and equipment
items. Non-GAAP gross loss/gross profit is defined as GAAP gross
loss/gross profit adjusted for stock-based compensation expense,
amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, and
accelerated depreciation related to certain property, plant and
equipment items. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as GAAP net loss
adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization of
intangible assets, restructuring charges, accelerated depreciation
related to certain property, plant and equipment items, legal
reserve related to employee matters, transaction costs relating to
acquisition activities, change in fair value of warrant
liabilities, and provision for income taxes. Free cash flow is
defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words
such as “aims,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “set,”
“continue,” “towards,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,”
“would,” “forward,” and similar expressions that predict or
indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of
historical matters. Forward-looking statements are based on
expectations and assumptions by our management and involve a number
of risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those stated, including that cost
reduction efforts, capital structure improvements, and unit
economics improvements will continue and lead to profitability, and
that next-generation sensors and software will be developed
successfully and samples will be delivered on time, and will result
in automaker adoption. More information on these risks and other
potential factors that could affect the Company’s business is
included in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, including
in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the
Company’s most reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. The Company
assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date they are made.
