Forward Guidance
Looking forward to 2025, guidance indicates a projected revenue of $1.75 billion, representing approximately 6% YoY growth. Management retains a cautious outlook, considering 'volumes appear to have stabilized' at normal seasonal levels but included conservative assumptions based on the first half's uncertainty. Key to monitor will be the ramp-up of SuperVision and EyeQ product lines as seen in the growth expected from new customer engagements and existing partnerships.
