NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
Background
Mobileye Group is a leader in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving technologies and solutions. Mobileye Group combines the operations of Cyclops Holdings LLC (“Cyclops”), Mobileye B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Mobileye”) GG Acquisition Ltd. and the Moovit App Global Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Moovit”) and certain Intel employees mainly in research and development (the “Intel Aligned Groups”) (collectively, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”, “we”, and “our”).
Mobileye operates as a component of Intel, which acquired a majority stake in Mobileye in August 2017 (the “Mobileye Acquisition”). The remaining issued and outstanding shares of Mobileye were acquired by Intel during 2018. The Company is building a robust portfolio of end-to-end ADAS and autonomous driving solutions to provide the capabilities required for the future of autonomous driving, leveraging a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies.
Moovit, a leading urban mobility app and mobility-as-a-service (“MaaS”) solutions provider also operates as a component of Intel upon acquisition of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Moovit in May 2020 (the “Moovit Acquisition”). On May 31, 2022, we legally purchased from Intel
In December 2021, Intel announced plans to pursue an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Mobileye Group. In January 2022, Intel incorporated a new legal entity, Mobileye Global Inc., with the intent to contribute the Company to Mobileye Global Inc. and be able to offer newly issued shares of common stock of Mobileye Global Inc. in an IPO.
In October 2022, the initial public offering of Mobileye (the “Mobileye IPO”) was completed. The registration statement related to the Mobileye IPO was declared effective on October 25, 2022, and our Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “MBLY” on October 26, 2022.
Prior to the completion of the Mobileye IPO, we were a wholly-owned business of Intel Corporation (“Intel” or the “Parent”). Upon the closing of the Mobileye IPO (after giving effect to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option), Intel continues to directly or indirectly hold all of the Class B common stock of Mobileye, which represents approximately

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed combined financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual audited combined financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information.

NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending 2022. The condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021.
The condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Intel and are presented as if the Company had been operating as a stand-alone company for all periods presented. The assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses directly attributable to the Company’s operations, including the acquired goodwill and intangible assets, have been reflected in these condensed combined financial statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of Intel.
The Company utilized the Intel Aligned Groups mainly in research and development activities. The associated costs of the Intel Aligned Groups are reflected on a specific attribution basis in the condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Intel Aligned Groups also participated in various Intel compensation and benefit plans. Portions of those plans’ costs were based on actual headcount and included in these condensed combined financial statements. These costs are not necessarily indicative of costs that would have been incurred had the Company operated on a stand-alone basis.
The condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) also include allocations of general corporate expenses from Intel. These expenses have been allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage when identifiable or allocated on the basis of headcount. Management of the Company and Parent considered the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented.
Mobileye largely continued to operate as a standalone operation and had not been fully integrated into Intel, with limited use of corporate overhead functions. The allocated costs for the periods presented in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) were not material. The allocations may not be reflective of the expenses that would have incurred had the Company operated as a stand-alone company for the periods presented. These costs also may not be indicative of the expenses that the Company will incur in the future or would have incurred if the Company had obtained these services from a third party. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had operated as a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, the outsourcing of certain functions, and other strategic decisions.
As Mobileye Group was not historically held by a single legal entity, total parent net investment is shown in lieu of equity in the condensed combined financial statements and represents Intel’s total interest in the recorded net assets of Mobileye Group. All intercompany transactions within the combined businesses of the Company have been eliminated. Transactions between the Company and Intel, arising from arrangements with Intel and other similar related-party transactions, were considered to be effectively settled in the condensed combined financial statements at the time the transactions were recorded, unless otherwise noted. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions was reflected within parent net investment as a component of equity in the condensed combined balance sheets and within net transfers from Parent as a financing activity in the condensed combined statements of cash flows, unless otherwise noted.
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, other than described below regarding deferred offering costs and income tax and regarding earnings per share as described in Note 4. For further detail, see Note 2 in the audited combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs incurred that are directly related to the IPO, are capitalized and recorded on the condensed combined balance sheet. These deferred costs will be reclassified to shareholders’ equity upon the consummation of the IPO, which was completed in October 2022, and recorded against the proceeds received. If the IPO would have been aborted, all the deferred offering costs would have been expensed. The Company capitalized $

The Company also has goodwill and acquisition-related in-process research and development assets that are required to be recorded at fair value only if an impairment is recognized in the current period.
Research and development, net
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred, and consist primarily of personnel, facilities, equipment, and supplies for research and development activities.
The Company occasionally enters into best-efforts nonrefundable, non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) arrangements pursuant to which the Company is reimbursed for a portion of the research and development expenses attributable to specific development programs. The Company does not receive any additional compensation or royalties upon completion of such projects and the potential customer does not commit to purchase the resulting product in the future. The participation reimbursement received by the Company does not depend on whether there are future benefits from the project. All intellectual property generated from these arrangements is exclusively owned by the Company.
Participation in expenses for research and development projects are recognized on the basis of the costs incurred and are netted against research and development expenses in the condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Research and development reimbursements of $
Derivatives and hedging
Beginning in 2021, as part of Intel’s corporate hedging program, Intel is hedging forecast cash flows denominated in Israel Shekels (“ILS”) related to the Company. ILS is the largest operating expense currency of the Company. Intel combines all of its ILS exposures, and as part of Intel’s hedging program enters into hedging contracts to hedge Intel’s combined ILS exposure. Derivative gains and losses attributed to these condensed combined financial statements are recorded under accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Income Tax
The provision for income tax consists of income taxes in the various jurisdictions where the Company is subject to taxation, primarily the United States and Israel. For interim periods, the Company recognizes an income tax benefit (provision) based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, calculated on a worldwide consolidated basis, expected for the entire year. The Company applies this rate to the year-to-date pre-tax income. The overall effective tax rate is influenced by valuation allowances on tax assets for which no benefit can be recognized due to the Company’s recent history of pretax losses sustained. Tax jurisdictions with forecasted pretax losses for the year for which no benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the worldwide estimated annual effective tax rate, and any associated tax expense for those jurisdiction is recorded separately.
Certain legal entities of Mobileye file tax returns on a consolidated basis with our parent Intel Corporation. We have entered into a tax sharing agreement with Intel Corporation that establishes the amount of cash we will pay to our parent for our share of the tax liability owed on these consolidated filings. The income tax provision included in these combined financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method, as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. This method can limit our ability to benefit losses that may have been used by Intel in the consolidated tax returns. To the extent the tax sharing agreement and the separate return method differ, an adjustment to our net parent investment balance is recorded.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts and events reported and disclosed in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors, including the current economic environment, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, judgments, and assumptions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to recognition and useful lives of intangible assets, impairment assessment of intangible assets and goodwill, and income taxes.
Loss contingencies
Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed combined balance sheets, statement of operations or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
11
NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, which include short-term deposits, and trade accounts receivable.
The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in banks domiciled in the U.S., as well as in Israel. Generally, these cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand. Short term bank deposits, included in cash and cash equivalents, are held in the aforementioned banks. Accordingly, management believes that these bank deposits have minimal credit risk.
The Company’s accounts receivables are derived primarily from sales to Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive manufacturing industry located mainly in the U.S., Europe, and China. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables is mitigated by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation, and account monitoring procedures. Credit is granted based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Trade accounts receivable are typically due from customers within
Customer concentration risk
The Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition for the foreseeable future will likely continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of customers. In the future, these customers may decide not to purchase the Company’s products, may purchase fewer products than in previous years, or may alter their purchasing patterns. Further, the amount of revenue attributable to any single customer or customer concentration generally may fluctuate in any given period. In addition, a decline in the production levels of one or more of the Company’s major customers, particularly with respect to vehicle models for which the Company is a significant supplier, could reduce revenue. The loss of one or more key customers, a reduction in sales to any key customer or the Company’s inability to attract new significant customers could negatively impact revenue and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. See Note 8 related to customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue and accounts receivable for each of the periods presented in these condensed combined financial statements.
Dependence on a single supplier risk
The Company purchases all its System on Chip (“EyeQ® SoC”) from a single supplier. Any issues that occur and persist in connection with the manufacture, delivery, quality, or cost of the assembly and testing of inventory could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. See below regarding a shortage in EyeQ® SoC that the Company has been experiencing during 2021 and through the nine months ended October 1, 2022.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected significant portions of the Company’s business and could have a continued adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. There is a significant constraint in the global supply of semiconductors. The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the demand for consumer electronics and global semiconductor manufacturers allocated significant capacity to meet such demand. As global automakers resumed production in 2020 following shutdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, semiconductor supply became further strained, and these factors, combined with the long lead times associated with the Company, have contributed to a shortage of semiconductors.
12
NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
During the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, and through nine months ended October 1, 2022, the Company’s sole supplier was not able to meet demand of the Company for the EyeQ® SoC, causing a significant reduction in the Company’s inventory levels. We expect to continue to experience a shortfall of EyeQ® SoC which has already caused certain delays and may continue to cause further delays in our ability to fulfil customers’ orders. Since the EyeQ® SoC is the core of the ADAS and AV products, continued shortages in the supply of sufficient EyeQ® SoC to meet production needs may impair the Company’s ability to meet its customers’ requirements in a timely manner and may adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, to the extent that the global semiconductor shortage results in reduced production or production delays by automakers, those delays could result in reduced or delayed demand for the Company products. In addition, issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays in the delivery of critical components, resulting in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. Sustaining the Company’s production trajectory will require the readiness and solvency of its suppliers and vendors, a stable and motivated production workforce and ongoing government cooperation, including for travel and visa allowances, which many governments have restricted in connection with efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we cannot fully predict the length and the severity of the impact these pressures will have on a long-term basis, we do not anticipate that our current supply chain constraints would materially adversely affect our results of operations, capital resources, sales, profits, and liquidity.
New Accounting pronouncements:
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance, which requires entities to provide disclosures on material government assistance transactions for annual reporting periods. The disclosures include information around the nature of the assistance, the related accounting policies used to account for government assistance, the effect of government assistance on the entity’s condensed combined financial statements, and any significant terms and conditions of the agreements, including commitments and contingencies. The new standard which can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, was adopted by the Company, and only impacts annual financial statement footnote disclosures. The impact of adoption of this standard is immaterial.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. ASU No. 2020-04 is effective and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company has completed its evaluation of significant contracts. The Company has adopted the ASU in these unaudited condensed combined financial statements. There was no material impact on these unaudited condensed combined financial statements. For further information, see Note 6 regarding related party transactions.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
The Company’s quarterly benefit (provision) for income taxes and the estimates of its annual effective tax rate, are subject to fluctuation due to several factors, principally including variability in overall pre-tax income and the mix of paying for certain components to which such income relates.
The income tax provision included in these condensed combined financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method, as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. This method can limit the Company’s ability to benefit from losses that may have been used by Intel in its consolidated tax returns. The Company has entered into a tax sharing agreement with Intel, which establishes the amount of cash payable to Intel for our share of the tax liability owed on a consolidated tax filing basis with Intel. To the extent the tax sharing agreement and the separate return method differ, and the liability to Intel is higher or lower than the amount that would have been payable if the Company had filed its own tax returns, an adjustment to the net parent investment balance is recorded within equity. The adjustment to the net parent investment for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 was an aggregate decrease in net parent investment of $
The tax expense for the nine months ended October 1, 2022, was unfavorably impacted by an accrued withholding tax expense and valuation allowances for certain jurisdictions. A withholding tax expense of $

In 2017, Intel along with the Company, entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 2”) to make cash available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $
In 2021, the Company and Intel entered into a bilateral lending/borrowing arrangement (“Arrangement 3” and together with Arrangement 1 and Arrangement 2, the “Bilateral Loan Arrangements”) to make cash available to either party up to an aggregate principal amount of $
In March 2022, due to reference rate reform, Arrangement 1 and Arrangement 2 were amended to change the interest rate from LIBOR based to SOFR based. The modification was accounted for as if it is not substantial in accordance with the expedient for ASC 470 and an updated effective interest rate was calculated to reflect the change in terms. There was
The total outstanding balance under the Bilateral Loan Arrangements was approximately $
Stock Compensation Recharge Agreement
The Company entered into a stock compensation recharge agreement with Intel, which requires the Company to reimburse Intel for certain amounts relating to the value of share-based compensation provided to the Company’s employees for RSUs or stock options exercisable in Intel stock. The liability associated with the stock compensation recharge agreement that is reflected on the condensed combined balance sheets, under related party payable was approximately $

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report for a discussion of forward-looking statements and important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Our historical financial data has been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Intel Corporation (“Intel”) using the historical results of operations and the historical basis of assets and liabilities. The financial data herein includes costs of our business, which may not, however, reflect the expenses we would have incurred as a stand-alone company for the periods presented.
Company Overview
Mobileye is a leader in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”) and autonomous driving technologies and solutions. We pioneered ADAS technology more than 20 years ago and have continuously expanded the scope of our ADAS offerings, while leading the evolution to autonomous driving solutions.
Our portfolio of solutions is built upon a comprehensive suite of purpose-built software and hardware technologies designed to provide the capabilities needed to make the future of ADAS and autonomous driving a reality. These technologies can be harnessed to deliver mission-critical capabilities at the edge and in the cloud, advancing the safety of road users, and revolutionizing the driving experience and the movement of people and goods globally.
As of October 1, 2022, our solutions had been installed in approximately 800 vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our System-on-Chips (“SoCs”) had been deployed in over 125 million vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions, and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021 alone. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 24.0 million of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the first nine months of 2021. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 270 million vehicles by 2030, including approximately 54 million vehicles based on our 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022 and approximately 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins. These estimates are based on projections of future production volumes that were provided by the OEMs at the time of sourcing our design wins with them for the models related to those design wins. These estimates may deviate from actual production volumes (which may be higher or lower than the estimates) and do not include design wins after October 1, 2022. We currently ship a variety of ADAS solutions to 13 of the 15 largest automakers in the world in addition to many smaller OEMs, and we are recognized for our top-rated safety solutions globally. For example, 66% of Euro New Car Assessment Programs (“NCAP”) 5-star rated vehicle models for 2018-2021 are equipped with our solutions.
In January 2022, we announced a design win of our consumer Autonomous Vehicle (“AV”) system, Mobileye Chauffeur™, with ZEEKR, Geely Group’s premium electric vehicle brand. Mobileye Chauffeur™ is expected to be capable of “eyes-off/hands-free” driving with a human driver still in the driver’s seat, in a gradually expanding operational driving domain, and is expected to use surrounding imaging radars and front-facing lidar, but may require driver intervention in certain situations. We believe that this is an early sign of broad interest in consumer-level eyes-off/hands-free driving. Building upon Mobileye Chauffeur™, we are developing Mobileye Drive™, our Level 4 self-driving system targeted for fleet-owned Autonomous Mobility as a Service (“AMaaS”) and goods delivery networks. Mobileye Drive™ will encompass our core autonomous driving technologies and will deliver the driving functions without the need for any in-vehicle human intervention by adding teleoperability and by minimizing cases where human input would be required. We are working to deploy Mobileye Drive™ through various business-to-business and business-to-consumer channels through the formation of collaborations with potential partners around the world.
We were founded in Israel in 1999. Our co-founder, Professor Amnon Shashua, is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to being acquired by Intel for $15.3 billion in 2017, we completed an initial public offering in 2014 and traded under the symbol “MBLY” on the New York Stock Exchange.

Reorganization and Initial Public Offering
In October 2022, Intel completed the internal reorganization and design of our new public entity (the “Reorganization”) for purposes of the Mobileye IPO. The registration statement related to the Mobileye IPO was declared effective on October 25, 2022, and our Class A common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “MBLY” on October 26, 2022. Prior to the completion of the Mobileye IPO, we were a wholly-owned business of Intel. On November 1, 2022, the underwriters of the Mobileye IPO exercised the over-allotment option granted to them in full. Upon the closing of the Mobileye IPO (after giving effect to the exercise of the over-allotment option), Intel continues to directly or indirectly hold all of the Class B common stock of Mobileye, which represents approximately 99.3% of the voting power of our common stock.
For further information and descriptions of the transactions in the Reorganization related to the Mobileye IPO, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” included in Mobileye’s final prospectus dated as of October 25, 2022, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Act relating to Mobileye’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Prospectus”).
Our Business Model
We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from our commercially deployed ADAS solutions. In the future, propelled by our next generation AV-on-Chip SoC, which we call EyeQ Ultra™, our surround computer vision Mobileye SuperVision™ solution and our True Redundancy™ architecture, we believe that we will be positioned to deliver an autonomous driving solution that can enable the mass adoption of AV.
We generate the majority of our revenue from the sale of our EyeQ® SoCs to OEMs through sales to Tier 1 automotive suppliers. We typically sell our products with volume-based pricing and recognize the revenue and costs associated with our products upon shipment.
We invest significant time and other resources early in the process of new program sourcing as part of our relationship with an OEM. We typically have visibility into the number of models that are expected to include our products at least two to three years in advance based on OEM information provided during the sourcing and nomination process, although there is no contractual commitment by the OEM to purchase particular volumes, and programs are subject to changes with respect to timing and volumes. The revenue that we may recognize in any given year is attributable to program design wins in previous years.
We partner with STMicroelectronics, a leading supplier and innovator of semiconductor devices for automotive applications, in manufacturing, design, and research and development. We have co-developed our family of EyeQ® SoCs with STMicroelectronics. We have also established a relationship with Quanta Computer to develop and assemble our ECUs, including the design for our Mobileye SuperVision™, which includes our EyeQ®5 SoCs manufactured by STMicroelectronics.
Our close partnership with Intel exists on multiple fronts. With Intel, we have access to unique and differentiating technologies such as proprietary silicon photonics fabrication technologies, which we may leverage for the early development of our FMCW lidar, which has the potential to replace alternative third-party lidar sensors to further enhance the performance of our sensor suite. We may also license certain technologies from Intel that support design and development of our software-defined radar, including Intel’s mmWave technologies. Additionally, we intend to explore a collaboration with Intel on a technology platform to integrate our EyeQ® SoC with Intel’s market leading central compute capability, with plans to utilize Intel Foundry Services’ advanced packaging capabilities. This potential platform is intended to enable functions essential to safety, entertainment, and cloud connectivity. Intel’s strength in government affairs and policy development around the world will continue to be of significant value to us as we collaborate with regulators who are preparing frameworks to enable commercial deployment of AVs.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe there are several important factors that have affected and that we expect to continue to affect our results of operations:
Global demand for automotive vehicles. Our business performance is related to global automotive sales and automotive vehicle production by our OEM customers. Economic conditions in North America, Europe and Asia can have a large impact on the production volume of new vehicles, and, accordingly, have an impact on our revenue. Our OEM customers’ production can vary from period to
26
period due to global demand, market conditions and competitive conditions, as well as other factors, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the automotive industry is showing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, with approximately 3% growth in global vehicle production year over year in 2021, production in 2021 was still approximately 13% below the 2019 level. Moreover, automakers continue to face supply chain shortages, and we expect that global vehicle production will not fully recover to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels from the impact of supply chain constraints in 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, current uncertain economic conditions and inflation may contribute to a reduction in consumer demand, which may reduce vehicle production over at least the next several quarters. In addition, in prior periods, certain Tier 1 customers increased their orders for components and parts, including our solutions, to counteract the impact of supply chain shortages for auto parts, and we expect these Tier 1 customers will utilize accrued inventory on hand before placing new orders to meet the demand of OEMs in current or future periods. As a result, some demand for our solutions and the corresponding revenue from these customers were shifted to earlier time periods than otherwise would have occurred absent a general supply chain shortage and inflationary environment. We cannot predict when the impact of these factors on global vehicle production will substantially diminish. However, ADAS volumes have grown faster in recent years than the overall automotive market as ADAS penetration rates have increased, and we believe that we will continue to benefit from that trend. Our revenue of $1.3 billion in the nine months ended October 1, 2022 was up 27% year-over-year, outperforming the increase of global automotive production. However, we believe that the expected continued constraint on global automotive production resulting from supply chain shortages and the effects of economic uncertainty will limit our ability to increase our revenue. We expect to continue to capitalize on our strong and collaborative relationships with OEMs and Tier 1s to expand our presence in key markets and capture the long-term growth opportunities in those markets.
Design wins with new and existing customers. Global OEMs are continuously looking for innovative ways to improve the customer appeal and safety of their vehicles. Additional program design wins for production programs are important to our future revenue growth. However, the revenue generated by each design win and the time necessary to achieve a design win can vary significantly. To achieve program design wins, we must maintain our technological leadership and continue to deliver differentiated solutions versus our competition through investment in research and development. Together with Tier 1 automotive suppliers, we work closely with OEMs to understand their solution requirements and have built close long-term relationships with them extending across multiple generations of EyeQ® products, though there is no guarantee that our customers will purchase our solutions in any certain quantity or at any certain price even after we achieve design wins. As of October 1, 2022 our solutions had been installed in approximately 800 vehicle models (including local country, year, and other vehicle model variations), and our SoCs had been deployed in over 125 million vehicles. We are actively working with more than 50 OEMs worldwide on the implementation of our ADAS solutions, and we announced over 40 new design wins in 2021. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, we shipped approximately 24.0 million of our SoCs. This represents an increase from the approximately 21.2 million of our SoCs that we shipped in the nine months ended September 25, 2021. We estimate, based on our existing design wins through October 1, 2022, that our ADAS solutions will be deployed in more than an additional 270 million vehicles by 2030, including approximately 54 million vehicles based on our of 2022 design wins through October 1, 2022 and 50 million vehicles based on our 2021 design wins.
Investment in technology leadership and product development. We believe our ability to continue to develop and design highly advanced and cost-efficient ADAS and AV solutions will position us to extend our technology leadership and encourage greater adoption of our solutions by enabling greater levels of autonomy. We also believe that our roadmap for future generations of EyeQ® SoCs and advanced systems will ultimately power autonomous driving solutions. The EyeQ® family design further enables scalable ECU architectures, supporting a variety of ADAS solution architectures, and our announced EyeQ Ultra™ AV-on-Chip is designed to host the full workload of autonomous driving, while meeting stringent cost and power efficiency requirements. We expect that our development of software-defined radar will provide a significant cost advantage by eliminating the need for multiple high-cost lidars around the vehicle and require only a single front-facing lidar, significantly lowering the overall cost of the required sensors compared to solutions that use lidar centric or lidar-only systems. Together with Intel, we also are currently in the early stages of development of FMCW lidar, which has the potential to replace alternative third-party lidar to further enhance the performance of our sensor suite. We believe the ability of our foundational technology to provide a low-cost scale solution with low power-consumption, both from an on-board technology and sensor suite perspective, will be critical to enabling the mass adoption of autonomous driving solutions. While our significant investments in these technologies may not result in revenue in the near term, we believe these investments will position us for revenue growth over time.
Regulation for ADAS and autonomous driving solutions. Demand for our solutions is influenced by the impact of regulation and the ratings systems deployed by the various NCAPs, particularly the Euro NCAP and the U.S. NCAP, administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. As these NCAPs demand more ADAS applications such as automatic emergency braking, OEMs will increasingly include ADAS as a standard feature in their models to maintain or to achieve the highest safety ratings. In many
27
countries, these safety assessments have created a “market for safety” as car manufacturers seek to demonstrate that their models satisfy the NCAPs’ highest ratings. We expect national NCAPs to continue to add specific ADAS applications to their evaluation items over the next several years, led by the Euro NCAP. In recent years, as regulatory requirements and NCAP ratings have increased, OEMs have also begun to highlight their safety features as a competitive advantage. We are recognized for our top-rated safety with 66% of Euro NCAP 5 star rated vehicle models for 2018-2021 equipped with our solutions. As additional regulations are implemented around the world, we expect this to lead to increased global adoption of ADAS, and we believe that we are well positioned to benefit from such increasing safety regulations globally, particularly due to the verifiable nature of our current and future solutions.
Fully autonomous vehicles are still nascent, and regulation of autonomous driving is evolving globally on both a local and national level. We believe that regulatory bodies will demand that AV undergo certain validation and audit requirements before autonomous driving is permitted. The potential impact of regulatory requirements and initiatives on the timing for widespread adoption of fully autonomous driving and on the cost of developing and introducing autonomous driving solutions is uncertain. RSS is our framework that informs our driving policy and formalizes a driving safety concept. Our RSS framework and decision-making engine have inspired a global standardization effort of AV safety including IEEE 2846, which is an industry working group that we lead. We are actively engaged in AV regulations globally as they have implications for the pace at which autonomous driving technologies may be deployed as well as which AV technology validation and audit requirements must be met. Importantly, we believe RSS, which is a pragmatic method that is architected to deliver a provably acceptable level of risk defined by governments, will facilitate standardization efforts worldwide as AV deployments accelerate. In addition to impacting the pace at which autonomous driving technologies are deployed, we expect regulations to impact our financial performance on an ongoing basis over time once autonomous driving gains market adoption. We cannot provide any assurance how any such regulations will impact us and the extent of such impact, particularly if autonomous driving is prohibited in certain areas.
Consumer adoption of our ADAS and autonomous driving solutions. Our financial performance is in part driven by public awareness and demand for ADAS solutions. Over time we expect autonomous driving solutions to contribute meaningfully to our revenue growth. As a result, consumers’ demand for, and willingness to adopt, ADAS and autonomous driving technologies will significantly impact our financial performance. We believe that our leadership position in ADAS positions us to continue to set the standard for advanced autonomous solutions and will help us benefit from increasing consumer confidence in and demand for autonomous technology over time.
Solution mix, pricing, and product costs. Solution mix is among the most important factors affecting our revenue and gross margin, as our prices vary significantly across our solutions. The price of our solutions depends on the bundle of applications that are included in the specific product. Our solutions have different margin profiles. As we develop, bundle, and sell full systems that include third-party hardware beyond EyeQ® SoCs, we expect that our gross margin will decrease on a percentage basis because of the greater third-party hardware content. However, as a result of a higher expected selling price for such systems, we expect our gross profit per unit will increase on a dollar basis.
Average selling price (“ASP”) varies based on a solution’s applications and complexity. As a particular solution matures and unit volumes increase, we expect its ASP to decline. In addition, there are generally step-downs in pricing over periods of production as volumes ramp up. While individual solution ASPs may decline, we seek to continually offer new features and functionality and increase the value that our solutions offer to OEM customers as we target new design win opportunities manage the life cycles of existing solutions and create new ADAS categories with advanced features. We believe our differentiated and scalable solutions consistently enhanced by additional features can enable us to maintain or increase overall ASPs over time.
The cost of input materials and manufacturing costs are significant factors affecting our gross margin. Material costs are affected by a variety of factors, including the availability of sufficient supply to meet market demand. For example, in late 2021, semiconductor fabrication costs increased as a result of a global supply shortage that began in 2020 and is continuing. We are currently experiencing increases in input costs as a result of supply chain shortages, including the global semiconductor shortage, and inflationary pressures. While we seek to increase our ASPs to reflect these cost increases, we anticipate that our gross margin will decrease, at least in the short term, as a result of these cost increases. Our gross margin has been and may continue to be affected by our ability to offset these and any future cost increases through realizing pricing increases on our solutions and achieving decreases in other production costs. We work closely with STMicroelectronics and Quanta on a continuous basis to manage material costs, increase yields and improve manufacturing, assembly, and test costs.
28
Supply and manufacturing capacity. Our solutions are dependent on the global semiconductor supply chain. The continued and timely supply of input materials, the availability of manufacturing capacity, and packaging and testing services at reasonable prices impact our ability to meet customer demand. Supply chain disruptions, shortages of raw material, such as wafers and substrates, and manufacturing limitations as a result of COVID-19 or other factors could limit our ability to meet customer demand and result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders. The semiconductor industry is experiencing widespread shortages of substrates and other components and available foundry manufacturing capacity, and we anticipate that such shortages will continue. During 2021 and through the nine months ended October 1, 2022, STMicroelectronics, our sole supplier of EyeQ® SoCs, was not able to meet our demand for EyeQ® SoCs, causing a significant reduction in our inventory level, and we expect to continue to experience a shortfall of chips during the fourth quarter of 2022 and continuing through 2023. We have entered 2022 with significantly lower inventories of our EyeQ® SoCs as a result of the limited supply during 2021, and, due to continuing supply chain constraints, we are operating with minimal or no inventory of EyeQ® SoCs on hand. As a result, we are substantially reliant on timely shipments of EyeQ® SoCs from STMicroelectronics to fulfill customer orders and are unable to offset future supply constraints through the use of inventory on hand. The limited supply of EyeQ® SoCs has already led to rescheduling deliveries to our customers on certain occasions and may continue to cause delays in our ability to fulfill our customers’ orders as scheduled. Our results of operations in the nine months ended October 1, 2022 have not been significantly impacted by the shortfall of chips. Our reliance on single or limited suppliers and vendors for certain components, equipment, and services and the aforementioned shortages of substrates and other components have led to increased supply chain risks and continue to stress our ability to meet the supply demands of our customers. To mitigate these supply chain constraints, management is monitoring inventory levels on an ongoing basis. Although we cannot fully predict the length and the severity of the impact these pressures will have on a long-term basis, we do not anticipate that our current supply chain constraints would materially adversely affect our results of operations, capital resources, sales, profits, and liquidity on a long-term basis.
Public company expenses. As a recently public company, we will be implementing additional procedures and processes for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies. In particular, we expect our accounting, legal and personnel-related expenses to increase as we establish more comprehensive compliance and governance functions and hire additional personnel to support such functions, maintain and review internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and prepare and distribute periodic reports in accordance with SEC rules. Our financial statements will reflect the impact of these expenses. We also expect the costs of our insurance, including directors’ and officers’ insurance and insurance coverage for AV activity, to increase as a result of higher premiums.
In addition, in connection with the Mobileye IPO, we established an equity incentive plan for purposes of granting share-based compensation awards to certain members of our senior management, to our non-executive directors and to employees, to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. Historically, grants of share-based compensation to our employees were made pursuant to Intel’s employee equity incentive plans, and such historical grants will continue based on their original vesting schedules. Equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of our future compensation strategy and a significant component of our future expenses, which we expect to increase over time.
Intel Segment Reporting
Certain of our financial results are presented as an operating segment within Intel’s publicly reported financial results. The financial results for us reported by Intel in its segment reporting may differ from our standalone financial results primarily due to Intel’s reporting of expenses related to certain corporate overhead functions and differences in the materiality thresholds applied to prepare consolidated financial results for Intel and for Mobileye on a standalone basis.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from our commercially deployed ADAS solutions. We generate the majority of our revenue from the sale of our EyeQ® SoCs to OEMs through sales to Tier 1 automotive suppliers that implement our product into vehicles, in which case our direct customer is the Tier 1 automotive supplier that is responsible for paying us for our products. Because of the complex nature of our products and the need to customize and validate a product and to integrate it into the OEM’s overall ADAS system, we also have strong direct relationships with the OEMs.
29
EyeQ® SoC sales represented approximately 88% and 94% of our revenue for the three months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively, and 90% and 94% of our revenue for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. Sales of our SuperVision™ product represented the majority of the remainder of our revenue for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 and sales of our aftermarket products represented the majority of the remainder of our revenue in the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021. Revenue from the sale of our EyeQ® products, SuperVision™ products and our aftermarket products is recognized at the time of product shipment from our facilities, as determined by the agreed-upon shipping terms. Our sales to any single Tier 1 automotive supplier typically cover more than one OEM and more than one production program from any OEM.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses associated with the manufacturing cost of our EyeQ® SoCs and our SuperVision™ product, and amortization of acquired intangible assets, identified as developed technology. Additional costs are royalty fees for the intellectual property that is included in the EyeQ® SoC, personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation for employees on our operations teams, logistics costs and allocated overhead costs. As we develop and sell full systems that include hardware beyond EyeQ® SoCs, we expect that our gross margin will decrease because of the greater hardware content included in our solutions. However, as a result of a higher expected selling price for such systems, we expect our gross profit per unit will increase on a dollar basis.
Research and Development Expenses, net
Research and development expenses primarily consist of expenses related to personnel, facilities, equipment and supplies for research and development activities including share-based compensation, material, parts and other prototype development, cloud computing services, consulting, and other professional services, including data labeling, quality assurance within the development programs, and allocated overhead costs.
We occasionally enter into best-efforts nonrefundable non-recurring engineering arrangements pursuant to which we are reimbursed for a portion of the research and development expenses attributable to specific development programs. We do not receive any additional compensation or royalties upon completion of such projects and the potential customer does not commit to purchase the resulting product in the future. The participation reimbursement that we receive does not depend on whether there are future benefits from the project. All intellectual property generated from these arrangements are exclusively owned by us.
We intend to continue our significant investment in research and development activities to attain our strategic objectives. Accordingly, we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars, but to gradually decrease as a percentage of total revenue, over time. We expect that in the near term our research and development expenses will increase compared to 2021, mainly due to additional research and development headcount and higher direct expenses that we expect to incur in connection with the development of our new EyeQ® SoC generations, Premium Driver-Assist offerings and the productization of our AV solutions and active sensor suite.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of expenses associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships and branding costs, personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, of our sales force, as well as advertising and marketing expenses and allocated overhead costs.
We expect to increase our sales and marketing expenses as we continue our efforts to increase market awareness of the benefits of our solutions, but we expect sales and marketing expenses to decrease as a percentage of total revenue as our business grows.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, of our executive, finance, and legal departments as well as legal and accounting fees, litigation expenses, and fees for professional and contract services.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars but to decrease as a percentage of total revenue as our business grows. The primary reasons for the growth in general and administrative expenses will be the costs related to being a
30
public company, including the need to hire more personnel to support compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other SEC rules and regulations as well as increased premiums for directors’ and officers’ insurance and the increased use of share-based compensation for general and administrative personnel.
Interest Income (Expense) and Other Expense
On April 21, 2022, we and Intel entered into a loan agreement whereby we distributed to Intel the Dividend Note in an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion. The Dividend Note is scheduled to mature on April 21, 2025 and accrues interest at a rate equal to 1.26% per annum, such interest to accrue quarterly. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, accrued interest expense was $20 million.
Our interest income consisted of interest earned on a loan to Intel in the amount of $0.9 billion as of October 1, 2022 and $1.3 billion as of December 25, 2021.
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Other expense consists primarily of fluctuations in value due to foreign exchange differences between our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in New Israeli Shekels and to a much lesser extent, the Euro, the Chinese Yuan, the Japanese Yen, and other currencies.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes
Benefit (provision) for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to the United States, Israel and other foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business, and amortization of deferred tax liability with respect to acquired intangible assets. We are eligible for certain tax benefits in Israel under the Investment Law, at a reduced tax rate, subject to specified terms.
During the years presented in our combined financial statements, certain components of our business operations were included in the consolidated U.S. domestic and certain foreign income tax returns filed by Intel, where applicable. We also file certain foreign income tax returns on a separate basis, distinct from Intel. The income tax provision included in our combined financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method as if we had filed our own tax returns. We present tax loss carry-forward amounts that have not been utilized by Intel only to the extent such tax attributes can be claimed on a separate income tax return as opposed to a consolidated income tax return filing with Intel. The use of the separate return method may result in differences between our income tax provision compared to Intel’s income tax provision.
In the tax year ended December 25, 2021, Mobileye’s Israeli operations became taxable in the United States as a branch entity. In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, Moovit’s Israeli operations became taxable in the United States as a branch entity. As a result, these operations are taxed both in the United States and Israel. For U.S. tax purposes, there are favorable future tax deductions that we could not benefit from due to a valuation allowance position. If warranted in the future by our actual and projected profitability, the valuation allowances may be released, resulting in a benefit at that time. The valuation allowance also resulted in a residual tax expense associated with a deferred tax liability recorded for goodwill in the year ended December 25, 2021 and the nine months ended October 1, 2022.
Realization of deferred tax assets is based on our judgment and various factors including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the ability to generate future taxable income in jurisdictions where such assets have arisen, and potential tax planning strategies. The valuation allowance for the years presented in our combined financial statements primarily related to U.S. branch deferred tax assets not currently expected to be realized given that we have sustained recent losses based on the separate return method.
Net operating losses reported in the Intel consolidated tax return have not been reflected in our combined financial statements based on a return reality methodology since they will not be available to us in future periods.

Comparison of the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 and September 25, 2021
Revenue
In the three months ended October 1, 2022, revenue increased by $124 million, or 38%, compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021. This increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase of $87 million, or 28%, in EyeQ® SoC sales, attributable to a 21% increase in volume and a 6% increase in ASP. The remaining increase in revenue was mainly related to the sales of our
32
SuperVision™ solution, which was launched during the fourth quarter of 2021, and for which no revenue was generated in the three months ended September 25, 2021.
In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, revenue increased by $274 million, or 27%, compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021. This increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase of $207 million, or 21%, in EyeQ® SoC sales, attributable to a 13% increase in volume and a 7% increase in ASP. The remaining increase in revenue was mainly related to the sales of our SuperVision™ solution, which was launched during the fourth quarter of 2021, and for which no revenue was generated in the nine months ended September 25, 2021.
Cost of Revenue
In the three months ended October 1, 2022, our cost of revenue increased by $60 million, or 35%, compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $45 million in manufacturing costs relating primarily to increased sales of our EyeQ® SoC and our sales of SuperVision™ solution. The remaining increase of $15 million resulted from an increase in amortization of intangible assets transferred from in-process research and development to acquisition-related developed technology.
In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, our cost of revenue increased by $153 million, or 29%, compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $96 million in manufacturing costs relating primarily to increased sales of our EyeQ® SoC and our sales of SuperVision™ solution. The remaining increase resulted primarily from an increase of $55 million in amortization of intangible assets transferred from in-process research and development to acquisition-related developed technology.
Gross Profit and margin
In the three months ended October 1 2022, our gross profit increased by $64 million, or 42% compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021.
In the nine months ended October 1 2022, our gross profit increased by $121 million, or 24%, compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021.
The increase in both periods, was mainly driven by the increase in revenue from our EyeQ® SoC sales, as well as the sales of our SuperVision™ solution, partially offset by the increase in amortization of intangible assets.
Our gross margin increased from 47% during the three months ended September 25, 2021, to 48% during the three months ended October 1, 2022. This increase was mainly due to the lower impact of the cost attributable to amortization of intangible assets as a percentage of revenues. This was partially offset by the impact of SuperVision™ sales contributing lower margin given the greater hardware this product contains. The rise in the cost of our EyeQ® SoCs due to the global semiconductor shortage and inflationary pressures also had a downward impact on our gross margin, but to a lesser extent than the foregoing because we entered 2022 with an opening balance of EyeQ® SoC inventory that we previously acquired at lower-than-current prices and passed on some of the increased costs of EyeQ® SoCs acquired at current prices to our customers.
Our gross margin decreased from 49% during the nine months ended September 25, 2021, to 48% during the nine months ended October 1, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of SuperVision™ sales contributing lower margin given the greater hardware content this product contains. The rise in the cost of our EyeQ SOCs due to the global semiconductor shortage and to inflationary pressures also had a downward impact on our gross margin. However, this impact was less than the increased amount of hardware because (i) we entered 2022 with an opening balance of EyeQ SoC inventory previously acquired at lower-than-current prices, and (ii) we passed on some of the increase in costs of our EyeQ SoCs to our customers. This was partially offset by the lower impact of the cost attributable to amortization of intangible assets as a percentage of revenues.
Research and Development Expenses, net
Research and development expenses, net, in the three months ended October 1, 2022, increased by $74 million, or 56%, compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $46 million in payroll and related
33
expenses, derived from an increase in average research and development headcount of 487 employees and an increase in payroll costs, including share-based compensation. Additionally, there was an increase of $19 million in cloud computing services and investments attributable to new product development..
Research and development expenses, net, in the nine months ended October 1, 2022, increased by $175 million, or 45%, compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $119 million in payroll and related expenses, derived from an increase in average research and development headcount of 437 employees and an increase in payroll costs, including share-based compensation.Additionally, there was an increase of $37 million in cloud computing services and investments attributable to new product development.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses in the three months ended October 1 2022, decreased by $6 million, or 18%, compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021.
Sales and marketing expenses in the nine months ended October 1 2022, decreased by $7 million, or 7%, compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021.
The decrease in both periods was mainly due to a decrease in amortization of customer relationship and brand-related intangible assets.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in the three months ended October 1, 2022, increased by $1 million, or 13%, compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021. This increase was mainly due to IPO related expenses.
General and administrative expenses in the nine months ended October 1, 2022, increased by $1 million, or 4%, compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021. This increase was mainly due to IPO related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
Interest Income (expense) with related party and Other Income (expense), net
Interest expense, net in the three months ended October 1, 2022, increased by $6 million compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021.
Interest expense, net in the nine months ended October 1, 2022, increased by $13 million compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021.
The increase in net interest expense in both periods was mainly due to accrued interest on the Dividend Note issued to Intel on April 21, 2022, partially offset by higher interest earned on a loan to Intel.
Other income (expense), net in the three months ended October 1, 2022, increased by $1 million, compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021. This increase in other income was mainly due to the increase in interest rate on short term bank deposits.
Other income (expense), net in the nine months ended October 1, 2022, increased by $6 million, compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021. This increase in other income was mainly due to the increase in interest rate on short term bank deposits and the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations.
Benefit (Provision) for Income Tax
In the three months ended October 1, 2022, provision for income tax increased by $9 million, compared to the three months ended September 25, 2021. This increase was mainly due to growth in our overall business.
34
In the nine months ended October 1, 2022, provision for income tax increased by $35 million, compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021. This increase was mainly due to a withholding tax expense of $14 million related to a dividend distribution between entities within the Mobileye Group. The foregoing did not result in a corresponding benefit in the United States, as a result of a valuation allowance position and tax expenses incurred pursuant to U.S. tax law due to unfavorable timing adjustments and the amortization of deferred tax liability with respect to intangible assets attributable to the acquisition of Moovit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our business requirements and plans for the next 12 months and in the longer term. Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity for funding our strategic business requirements.
Our primary uses of funds have been for funding increases in headcount in our research and development organization and for capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures have related mainly to the construction of our campus, data storage and other computer related equipment and were $79 million and $98 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2022, and September 25, 2021, respectively. In connection with the Reorganization, on May 12, 2022, we also declared and paid the Dividend in an aggregate amount of $336 million to Intel, net of $14 million of cash paid to tax authorities to settle related tax obligations.
To fund our cash requirements in the ordinary course of business, we anticipate that we will continue to primarily rely on operating cash flows, supplemented by our total cash and cash equivalents, together with approximately $0.1 billion retained by us out of the Mobileye IPO net proceeds that we retained in accordance with the Master Transaction Agreement entered into in connection with the IPO, which requires that Intel ensure that immediately after completion of the IPO we will have $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities. Accordingly, we used approximately $0.9 billion to repay a portion of the indebtedness owed by us to Intel under the Dividend Note. We expect our total capital expenditures for 2022 to be flat compared our total capital expenditures in 2021. The construction of our campus is planned to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2023, with a remaining cost we estimate to be between $80 million and $90 million. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate and the timing and extent of operating expenses.
We have lease obligations and other contractual obligations and commitments as part of our ordinary course of business. We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements involving commitments or obligations, including contingent obligations, arising from arrangements with unconsolidated entities or persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.

Operating activities
For the nine months ended October 1, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2021, the $43 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was mainly due to a change in employee related balances resulting from our recruitment of certain employees relating to the Mobileye business from Intel during the second quarter of 2022.
35
Investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended October 1, 2022 was $319 million, consisting primarily of a $398 million net repayment of a loan by Intel, partially offset by capital expenditures.
Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 25, 2021 was $488 million, consisting primarily of a $390 million loan to Intel and capital expenditures.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended October 1, 2022 was $451 million, consisting primarily of the $336 million Dividend to Intel and $200 million of share-based compensation recharge payments made to Intel, partially offset by $99 million as a result of net contributions from Intel.
Net cash provided in financing activities in the nine months ended September 25, 2021 was $67 million, consisting primarily of $69 million as a result of net contributions from Intel.
Liability in respect of employee rights upon retirement
Israeli labor laws and agreements require severance payments upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in other circumstances. The severance pay liability with respect to Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date.
Our liability for all of our Israeli employees is covered by monthly deposits with severance pay funds. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrender value of these policies and includes profits (or loss) accumulated through the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligations pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements.
Part of our liability for severance pay is covered by the provisions of Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law (“Section 14”). Under Section 14 employees are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, contributed by us on their behalf to their insurance funds. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release us from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. As a result, we do not recognize any liability for severance pay due to these employees and the deposits under Section 14 are not recorded as assets on the combined balance sheets.
Severance pay liability decreased from $65 million as of September 25, 2021, to $53 million as of October 1, 2022, mainly due to the recruitment of certain employees relating to the Mobileye business from Intel during the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in salary and related costs.
Indebtedness
We have several bank guarantees aggregating approximately $11 million (denominated in New Israeli Shekels) mainly in connection with lease agreements and import of vehicles.
In addition, in connection with the Reorganization and the Mobileye IPO, on April 21, 2022, we distributed to Intel the Dividend Note, in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion (the “Dividend Note”). The Dividend Note is scheduled to mature on April 21, 2025 and accrue interest at a rate equal to 1.26% per annum.
In November 2022, we used approximately $0.9 billion out of the net proceeds to repay a portion of indebtedness under the Dividend Note and Intel has contributed to Mobileye the remaining portion of the Dividend Note such that no amounts under the Dividend Note remain owed by us to Intel.
36
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management uses Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin, Adjusted Operating Income and Margin and Adjusted Net Income, collectively, as key measures in operating our business. We use such non-GAAP financial measures to make strategic decisions, establish business plans and forecasts, identify trends affecting our business, and evaluate performance. For example, we use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our pricing and sourcing strategy, in the preparation of our annual operating budget, and as a measure of our operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they allow for greater transparency into what measures our management (and Intel’s management) uses in operating our business and measuring our performance, and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where items may vary independent of business performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as our combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
We believe excluding items that neither relate to the ordinary course of business nor reflect our underlying business performance, such as the amortization of intangible assets and certain expenses related the Mobileye IPO, enables management and our investors to compare our underlying business performance from period-to-period. Accordingly, we believe these adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparison to our past operating performance and provide investors with additional means to evaluate cost and expense trends. In addition, we also believe these adjustments enhance comparability of our financial performance against those of other technology companies.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and certain expenses related to the Mobileye IPO as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. We exclude amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures, although revenue is generated, in part, by these intangible assets, to eliminate the impact of these non-cash charges that are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions. These amortization charges relate to intangible assets consisting of developed technology, customer relationships, and brands as a result of Intel’s acquisition of Mobileye in 2017 and the acquisition of Moovit in 2020. We believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense is appropriate because it eliminates the impact of non-cash expenses for equity-based compensation costs that are based upon valuation methodologies and assumptions that vary over time, and the amount of the expense can vary significantly between companies due to factors that are unrelated to their core operating performance and that can be outside of their control. Although we exclude share-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP measures, equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of our future compensation strategy and a significant component of our future expenses, and may increase in future periods.
We believe that the exclusion of expenses related to the Mobileye IPO is appropriate as they represent items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These expenses are primarily composed of legal, accounting and professional fees incurred in connection with the Mobileye IPO that are not capitalizable, which are included within general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding amortization of acquisition related intangibles and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by total revenue.

Our Gross Margin (gross profit as a percentage of revenue) and Adjusted Gross Margin (adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue) reflect the high value-added nature of our solutions and have remained consistent in recent periods. As we develop and sell full systems that include hardware beyond EyeQ® SoCs, we expect that our Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin will decrease because of the greater hardware content included in our solutions. However, as a result of a higher expected selling price for such systems, we expect our gross profit per unit will increase on a dollar basis.
Our Adjusted Gross Margin decreased from 78% for the three months ended September 25, 2021 to 74% for the three months ended October 1, 2022. Our Adjusted Gross Margin decreased from 78% for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 to 75% for the nine months ended October 1, 2022. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to increased sales of our SuperVision™, contributing lower margin given the greater hardware this product contains. The rise in the cost of our EyeQ® SoCs due to the global semiconductor shortage and inflationary pressures also had a downward impact on our gross margin, but to a lesser extent than the foregoing.
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin
We define Adjusted Operating Income as operating loss presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition related intangibles and share-based compensation expense. Operating margin is calculated as operating loss divided by total revenue, and Adjusted Operating Margin is calculated as Adjusted Operating Income divided by total revenue.

Our operating loss increased in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, mainly as a result of an increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets and share-based compensation expense, as well as an increase in research and development expenses, partially offset by revenue growth.
Our Adjusted Operating Income increased in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to the growth in our overall business, partially offset by the increase in research and development expenses.
38
Our Adjusted Operating Margin decreased in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in our Adjusted Gross Margin and the impact of increased research and development headcount.
We expect that our Adjusted Operating Margin in future near-term years will decrease compared to the nine months ended October 1, 2022, mainly due to additional research and development headcount and higher direct expenses that we expect to incur in connection with the development of new EyeQ® SoC generations, Mobileye SuperVision™ enhancements, and the productization of our AV solutions and active sensor suite.
Adjusted Net Income
We define Adjusted Net Income as net loss presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition related intangibles and share-based compensation expense, as well as the related income tax effects. Income tax effects have been calculated using the applicable statutory tax rate for each adjustment taking into consideration the associated valuation allowance impacts. The adjustment for income tax effects consists primarily of the deferred tax impact of the amortization of acquired intangible assets.
The share based compensation adjustment did not have a material tax impact.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The application of our accounting policies may require us to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,revenue and expense, and the accompanying disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the estimate was made.
39
We consider an accounting policy to be a critical estimate if: (1) we must make assumptions that were uncertain when the judgment was made, and (2) changes in the relevant estimate or assumptions, or selection of a different estimate methodology, could have a significant impact on our financial position or the results that we report in our combined financial statements.
We believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable in that they were based on information available when the estimates, assumptions and judgments were made. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from those implied by our assumptions and estimates.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, goodwill and deferred taxes. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from the results implied by these estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates disclosed in the Prospectus.
Intangible Assets
Our combined financial statements include acquisition-related intangible assets, consisting primarily of developed technology and customer relationships and brands. The identification and recognition of those intangible assets involve significant judgments relating to, among other things, the projected cash flows attributable to these intangible assets and the estimated useful lives of these intangible assets. We amortize acquisition-related intangible assets that are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives are determined by management at the time of acquisition, based on historical experience and the economic life of the underlying technology, and are regularly reviewed for appropriateness. Acquisition-related in-process research and development assets represent the fair value of incomplete research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition; initially, these are classified as in-process research and development and are not subject to amortization. Once these projects are completed, the asset balances are transferred from in-process research and development to acquisition-related developed technology and are subject to amortization from that point forward based on their estimated useful lives at that time.
The asset balances relating to projects that are abandoned after acquisition are impaired and expensed to research and development. We perform a quarterly review of significant finite-lived identified intangible assets to make a judgment on whether facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and an impairment may be required.
These reviews can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our forecasts for specific product lines.
Goodwill
We perform an annual impairment assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The analysis may include both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of impairment. Additionally, we are permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if we determine, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount.
Qualitative factors include industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. Additionally, as part of this assessment, we may perform a quantitative analysis to support the qualitative factors above by applying sensitivities to assumptions and inputs used in measuring a reporting unit’s fair value.
Our quantitative impairment test considers both the income approach and the market approach to estimate a reporting unit’s fair value. Significant estimates include growth rates, estimated costs, and discount rates based on a reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital.
40
For 2021, we performed a quantitative impairment test at the reporting unit level, which had $111 million of allocated goodwill as of December 25, 2021. As of December 25, 2021, the reporting unit was not at risk of failing the quantitative impairment test and the fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying amount. As of October 1, 2022, no indicators of impairment were identified.
Deferred Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the combined financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Use of the term “more likely than not” indicates the likelihood of occurrence is greater than 50%.
Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is continually assessed based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of profitability and taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with the utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before expiration and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Mobileye and its representatives may also, from time to time, make certain forward-looking statements in publicly released materials, both written and oral, including statements contained in filings with the SEC, press releases, and our reports to shareholders. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations and financial performance (including volume growth, pricing, sales and earnings per share growth, and cash flows) and statements regarding our strategy for growth, future product development, regulatory approvals, competitive position and expenditures. All statements that address our future operating performance or events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are, and will be, based on management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events, developments and operating performance, and speak only as of their dates. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from our expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Furthermore, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law or regulations.
Forward-looking statements contained in this report may include, but are not limited to, statements about:

The risk factors discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in the Prospectus could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There also may be other risks that are currently unknown to us or that we are unable to predict at this time.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of foreign currency exchange rates.There were no material changes to the information on market risk disclosure from our Prospectus.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended October 1, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.
43
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we have in the past and may in the future become involved in various legal actions and other claims. We may also become involved in other judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses. Some of these matters may involve claims of substantial amounts. In addition, from time to time, third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us in the form of letters and other forms of communication. These legal proceedings may be subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance of the outcome of any individual proceedings. We do not believe that these matters, and we are not a party to any other legal proceedings that we believe, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in the Prospectus.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Recent Sale of Unregistered Securities
There were no sales of unregistered equity securities during the three months ended October 1, 2022.
Use of Proceeds
On October 28, 2022, we closed the sale of 41,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock in the Mobileye IPO. On November 1, 2022, we closed the sale of an additional 6,150,000 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments (the “Option”). The Mobileye IPO was completed upon the sale of the above-referenced shares.
The IPO price per share was $21. The offer and sale was pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-267685), as amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 25, 2022. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as joint lead book-running managers of the Mobileye IPO. None of the underwriting discounts and commissions or estimated offering expenses were incurred or paid to our directors or officers or their associates or to persons owning 10% or more of our common stock or to any of our affiliates. Mobileye’s Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 26, 2022.
Concurrently with the closing of the Mobileye IPO, we closed the sale of 4,761,905 shares of our Class A common stock to General Atlantic (ME), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, at $21 per share, pursuant to a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for gross proceeds of $100 million.
The net proceeds received by us from the Mobileye IPO, including the exercise of the Option, and the Concurrent Private Placement, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, was approximately $1.0 billion. We used approximately $0.9 billion out of net proceeds to repay a portion of indebtedness under the Dividend Note and the remaining portion for working capital and general corporate purposes. There has been no material change in the anticipated use of proceeds from the Mobileye IPO as described in the Prospectus.
