SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation These condensed consolidated 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 U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual audited consolidated 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. We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal year 2022 was a 53-week fiscal year; fiscal year 2023 is a 52-week fiscal year. The additional week in fiscal year 2022 was added in the first quarter, which consisted of 14 weeks. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending 2023. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The financial statements and accompanying notes that include periods ending or as of dates prior to the completion of the Mobileye IPO 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. 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 consolidated financial statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of Intel. As Mobileye Group was not historically held by a single legal entity, total parent net investment is shown in lieu of equity in the periods prior to the completion of the Mobileye IPO and represents Intel’s total interest in the recorded net assets of Mobileye Group. All intercompany transactions within the previously 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 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 and within net transfers from Parent as a financing activity in the periods prior to the completion of the Mobileye IPO, unless otherwise noted. Following the completion of the Mobileye IPO, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as described in our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. For further detail, see Note 2 in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Use of estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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 useful lives of intangible assets, impairment assessment of goodwill and income taxes. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The following is a reconciliation of the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of each period end: As of U.S. dollars in millions September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Cash $ 60 $ 188 Short term deposits 115 285 Money market funds 1,018 551 Restricted cash (within other current and other long-term assets) 14 11 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 1,207 $ 1,035 Fair value measurement The carrying value of short term deposits classified as cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to the short maturity of these items. The Company’s investment in money market funds is measured at fair value and consists of financial assets for which quoted prices are available in an active market. Interest income related to money market funds for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $15 million and $35 million, respectively. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities. 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Research and development reimbursements of $24 million and $15 million were offset against research and development costs in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively; and $57 million and $40 million were offset in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. Derivatives and hedging Beginning in 2021, as part of Intel’s corporate hedging program, Intel hedges forecasted 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 consolidated financial statements are recorded under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects the statement of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company de-designated its remaining cash flow hedges for forecasted operating expenses denominated in ILS. As the hedged transactions and cash flows related to the outstanding instruments were expected to occur as originally forecasted, the associated gains and losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet were reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the originally hedged transactions affect earnings. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the outstanding derivative instruments after the de-designation and termination of hedge accounting were immediately reflected in operating expenses. As of September 30, 2023, there are no outstanding hedging instruments and all of the related accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was reclassified into the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The notional amount and fair value of derivatives outstanding at Intel on behalf of Mobileye were: As of U.S. dollars in millions September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Notional amount of derivatives $ — $ 93 Fair value of derivatives receivable from (payable to) Intel $ — $ (9) The change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relating to gains (losses) on derivatives used for hedging was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended U.S. dollars in millions September 30, 2023 October 1, 2022 September 30, 2023 October 1, 2022 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications $ — $ 1 $ — $ (30) Amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) — 6 10 6 Tax effects — (1) (1) 1 Other comprehensive income (loss), net $ — $ 6 $ 9 $ (23) 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 or benefit for those jurisdictions is recorded separately. During the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements, certain components of the Company’s business operations were included in the consolidated U.S. domestic income tax return filed by the Company’s Parent. The Company also files various foreign income tax returns on a separate basis, distinct from its Parent. The income tax provision included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements has been calculated using the separate return method, as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. The Company has entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with its Parent that establishes the amount of cash payable for the Company’s share of the tax liability owed on consolidated tax return filings with its Parent. Any differences between taxes payable to the Company’s Parent under the Tax Sharing Agreement and the current tax provision computed on a separate return basis, is reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and financing activities within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company reflects tax loss and tax credit carry-forward attributes under the separate return method approach. Such tax attributes may not be benefited in the same period as the Company’s Parent on a consolidated tax return. Loss contingencies Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. 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 money market funds, and also trade accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in banks domiciled in the U.S. and Europe, as well as in Israel. Generally, these cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand. Short term bank deposits are held in the aforementioned banks. The money market funds consist of institutional investors money market funds and are readily redeemable to cash. Accordingly, management believes that these bank deposits and money market funds, 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 30 to 60 days. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and has not experienced any material losses in the periods presented. The Company establishes credit losses for accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history from such customers, and the customers’ current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the credit losses for accounts receivable were not material. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, the charge-offs and recoveries in relation to the credit losses accounts were not material. 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 9 related to customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue and more than 10% of the total accounts receivable balance for each of the periods presented in these condensed consolidated 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® SoCs that the Company experienced during 2022 and may experience in the future, including in ECUs for SuperVision™ and other components for our products. Supply chain risk During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, due to global supply chain constraints and shortage of semiconductors, the Company’s sole supplier was not able to meet demand of the Company for EyeQ® SoCs, causing a significant reduction in the Company’s inventory levels. We may experience a shortfall of EyeQ® SoCs, ECUs for SuperVision™ and other components for our products. The reoccurrence of shortages and supply chain constraints in EyeQ® SoCs and ECUs for SuperVision™ and in components of our other products, 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 a global semiconductor shortage results in reduced production or production delays by automakers, those delays could result in reduced or delayed demand for the Company’s products. In addition, issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic led to port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays in the delivery of critical components, which resulted in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. Sustaining the Company’s production trajectory requires 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 governments may restrict. Although we cannot fully predict the length and the severity of the impact these pressures would have on a long-term basis, we do not anticipate that short-term supply chain constraints would materially adversely affect our results of operations, capital resources, sales, profits, and liquidity. |
