            Management Commentary
            
                - Production Volumes: CEO Amnon Shashua reported that EyeQ volumes more than doubled versus Q1, indicating strong operational recovery, while SuperVision volumes matched expectations with 70,000 units for the half-year.
- Market Dynamics and Challenges: Management noted concerns about reduced customer orders and production forecasts in China affecting ADAS and SuperVision. An 84% growth in revenue over Q1 was undercut by a 3% decrease year-over-year โ an indication of tightening market conditions.
- Long-term Strategy: The integration of the EyeQ6 platform and upcoming strategic partnerships with companies like Zeekr are positioned as pivotal for maintaining market leadership amid evolving regulations and competitive pressures.            
            
            
                
                    Amnon Shashua stated, 'EyeQ volumes in Q2 more than doubled versus Q1. Based on various sources of information, we believe inventory levels are back to normal with potential residual in China.'

            Forward Guidance
            
                Management has adjusted its 2024 revenue outlook, lowering EyeQ volume expectations to $28-$29 million from previous estimates due to weaker customer demand, particularly from Chinese markets. The reduction signifies caution in light of increased tariffs affecting vehicle imports and disruptions in production from major customers. Going forward, the focus will be on recovering volumes through strategic alignments and technological advancements, with revenue growth expected to rebound into 2025 as market conditions stabilize post-inventory normalizations. Investors should watch for operational developments in the second half of 2024 as significant contracts are anticipated to be finalized, particularly for SuperVision and Chauffeur applications.
