On February 27, 2024, Luminar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware-incorporated company listed on the Nasdaq under the trading symbol LAZR, filed a Form 8-K with the SEC to report its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The company issued a Letter to Shareholders detailing its performance, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 in the report. Luminar Technologies highlighted its focus on enhancing driver capabilities in consumer production vehicles with advanced ADAS and conditional automation, as opposed to fully autonomous vehicles. The company has successfully industrialized its Iris sensor to automotive grade standards and has begun deliveries from its manufacturing facility in Mexico. Despite a delay in the launch of Volvo Cars' EX90, which impacted revenue recognition, Luminar still achieved 71% year-over-year growth in FY'23 and nearly 100% growth in Q4'23. The company's Order Book stands at approximately $3.8 billion, with over 25 vehicle lines and commercial programs awarded. Luminar's CFO, Thomas J. Fennimore, reported a gross loss higher than expected due to industrialization costs, but noted nearly $290 million in cash and marketable securities by the end of 2023. The company expects significant revenue growth in 2024, led by series production sensor sales as Volvo's production ramps up in Q2'24.
