Tyler Bomba

is XX:XX the Tyler Thanks taking Hi, questions. this on for Tristan.

prior First, is constraints you your ramp in for the some you any seeing projected everything seeing are OEMs chain Are how timing car the on of expectations? light timelines track of or lidar push supply industry? outs with

Anna Brunelle

little XX:XX car And have trouble OEMs? a say Taylor. did sorry you of hearing bit you, I I'm

Tyler Bomba

XX:XX Yeah, the OEM's. car

Angus Pacala

XX:XX Yeah, question. I take that. can the Thanks for

So autonomy say, guess if that always moving industry companies still industry. to look I’d question going majority there's forward. technology, aggressively and at moving any is the Then the the that at but automakers that new there of subset I into of And releasing is you lidar. also a projections, are their this the is not initial around behind still forward historically very if that fall a this subset broader I are a is think something is true

it's budget of automakers kind our see point. real competitiveness and so affect kind to what our this the is autonomy business stick effort from so, electrification the any And restrictions strategies to of we and not of conversations in because future let to core at their that,

Tyler Bomba

Great. XX:XX Yeah.

expect For you your know talked look of follow-up, this some should about at growth should you by changes the mix how my any we year? do how we of end drivers I of year? from markets, market next, your material but for last end the think each

Anna Brunelle

we're my in are that contracts infrastructure XXX vertical about this still as previously highlighted our but going I verticals -- and where forward. to said, around, And this we remainder develop think and last which continuing last and XX% traction, revenue of year I we and we as lot continues the that that still excited as our sector year. seeing kind are we growth signed well primarily think did also we're XX% of automotive add a smart I XX:XX revenues of robotics about prepared the drive year I the remarks, in split to think saw industrial year, the that's our to we is evenly between really more projected

Tyler Bomba

-- Okay. Thank XX:XX

Angus Pacala

XX:XX Yeah.

to Just color there. little add a more

there. greenfield add to a again to we Smart true back because -- the color again, Just lidar. really come infrastructure, and more it's for it's little opportunity

lidar in, XX:XX there that verticals -- in progressing unbounded operating just market not of infrastructure but existing about. other legacy kind digital a in is use distribution [indiscernible]. smart there roughly into cameras lidar smart absolutely and about The a is see understanding case what beyond also almost And cameras, equal there across new sold with infrastructure as and trust opportunity, things $XX So, systems. of talking that it's we're on tap lot billion talking security, of because the we there's potential such or a immense smart use for is, huge there the infrastructure of may digital but we is we're safe that's even management verticals, in but

line Brian markets. XX:XX the go Please question ahead. Our will next come with from of Dobson Chardan capital

Brian Dobson

thanks Hi, question. so my taking much for XX:XX

So you And through more chain how Could points margin pricing bit the just you being and little average expect power pointed what that color you on the evolve of issues. navigating us supply the pricing year. to basis to on in a up stronger XXX to give was gross balance prices, sales alluded you quarter? driving

Anna Brunelle

QX. as ASP's about I we we bit that. And mean forward, able several that we've our a that, are I result fall a list said and expect to I tend to Yeah, has think ASP's customers XX:XX in that pipeline lower COGS. new our entering going talked our We think to as we of

more As ship volume. we

goods cost sold recall, based on So, increases. you primarily are if our of volume

architecture. as improvement sell just margin constant and and see to more we volume that's our based expect on digital more We

we're further the so future expect mostly that the drop into improvements historically we cost XX:XX of anticipating, volume over kind continue as get ASP's to it's to so to from the time, And these and will COGS coming our And to structure improvement. line are drop. in that line product we expecting

And us into lot of a gives business. kind predictability so of that the

Brian Dobson

you quarterly that quarters, can walk ramp Great, of in and just year, are the mentioned much. impacts half XX:XX the you sales as very that And the customers us through still thanks rates cadence you're expected. back expecting of learning the their timing then you more

Anna Brunelle

really haven't excited to is trends million quarters. that think prior when we are guidance so quarterly tend the that guidance revenue a we over at can anticipating we I that which of about you I years, think in to of have historically, what nearly year, that to but the doubling we $XX see low even there have business And been quarters, $XX I guidance. given, strong couple the over million fourth over of last mean I Yeah, we've really about our we're revenue, we think end XX:XX the talk our given in guided

here important really is what's on supports forward, looking projections. our that, our think So I based up bottoms is pipeline so, guidance. guidance pipeline our XX:XX And our

five We forecast have over Customer customers, XXX our XX from we're customers. Agreements now Strategic and we've three year getting where signed

And customers supported are so, it's up understand bottoms by really in important projections those that that you pipeline. the

XX:XX you Can congrats hear afternoon okay? and Hey, me the guys good on quarter.

Anna Brunelle

XX:XX Yes.

Andre Shephard

on Most for or quarter, revenue million to it, revenue, have with $X.X right? $XX that questions but the year. you. about the reaffirmed to in maybe let's today, of which for million leaves the $XX revenue one asked, the of of terms Thank been last my midpoint So there guidance, was in million, call follow-up XX:XX so get the to

a the helpful. wondering you like we more color later Do of a a account expect most just revenue bit of is I'm should period ramp-up quarter? would seasonality? in little the So expected or be for Just there the

Angus Pacala

Yeah, step can XX:XX bit in I and answer little it a differently.

that bottoms opportunity. have and we customer, that it's -- That's foremost, absolutely up opportunity we revenue for to reaffirming opportunities because have item-by-item, guidance, why first the and those by support winning we're by pipeline we year, but guidance the supports are our customer So, is it opportunities.

doubling significant then, this then I I And deviation in year seen in right be about may this plus for of year. which see It's and they XX% the guidance between XX% XX:XX shipments The just potentially fundamentally the and of well. with we're see part And verticals on don't verticals. of units half changed of going over equal last -- of back the year is shuffling went. from about the we looks nothing the seasonality like -- receiving the there split or back vertical, see [indiscernible] that nothing that year-over-year. of placing weighted. with don't as second of that, is are contribution into of ramp orders very terms a shipped we've we data, contribution unit XX% there's We to and half just depending the four if we're and XX% seeing because So be orders that year XX%, every from year and part be and the shipped robotics business it’s of to Obviously revenue some going automotive, now last roughly minus at a industrials by for also But end business. business customers that growing significant growing said year the else. the reaffirming in infrastructure about

I we to and the a clear, able there great manufacturing clearly So ramp guidance, doing we that data against understand why there's reason that, are make side. we're want But on it reaffirming the abundantly is happens. got significant we're ship to a we
