These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the estimated costs and expected benefits of the restructuring plan initiated in May 2024, including the additional actions taken under the restructuring plan in September 2024, the Company’s 2025 restructuring plan, including, without limitation, statements related to the Company’s expected charges for employee severance and other costs associated with the 2025 restructuring plan, including estimates of related cash expenditures by the Company, statements regarding the number of employees subject to the workforce reduction and the timing thereof, and the impact of the 2025 restructuring plan, product plans, future growth, sales estimates, market opportunities, strategic initiatives, industry positioning, customer acquisition and retention, revenue growth, anticipated impacts on our business of current worldwide economic uncertainty, inflation, monetary policy shifts, and other disruptions due to geopolitical conditions and global health emergencies. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words or phrases, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business.
These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including our history of losses and our expectation that we will continue to incur significant expenses, including substantial research and development (“R&D”) costs, and continuing losses for the foreseeable future as well as our limited operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter; our strategic initiatives which may prove more costly than we currently anticipate and potential failure to increase our revenue to offset these initiatives; whether our LiDAR products are or will continue to be selected for inclusion in autonomous driving or advanced driving assistance systems (“ADAS”) by automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) or their suppliers, and whether we will be de-selected by any customers; the lengthy period of time from a major commercial win to implementation and the risks of cancellation or postponement of the contract or unsuccessful implementation; potential inaccuracies in our forward-looking estimates of certain metrics, our future cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and bill of materials (“BOM”) and total addressable market; the discontinuation, lack of success of our customers in developing and commercializing products using our solutions or loss of business with respect to a particular vehicle model or technology package and whether end automotive consumers will demand and be willing to pay for such features; our ability to successfully fund our growth if there are considerable delays in product introductions by us or our OEM customers may face with their products; our inability to reduce and control the cost of the inputs on which we rely, which could negatively impact the adoption of our products and our profitability; the effect of continued pricing pressures, competition from other LiDAR manufacturers, OEM cost reduction initiatives and the ability of automotive OEMs to re-source or cancel vehicle or technology programs which may result in lower than anticipated margins, or losses, which may adversely affect our business; the effect of general economic conditions, including inflation, recession risks and rising interest rates, generally and on our industry and us in particular, including the level of demand and financial performance of the autonomous vehicle industry and the decline in fair value of available-for-sale debt securities in a rising interest rate environment; market adoption of LiDAR as well as developments in alternative technology and the increasingly competitive environment in which we operate, which includes established competitors and market participants that have substantially greater resources; our ability to achieve technological feasibility and commercialize our software products and the requirement to continue to develop new products and product innovations due to rapidly changing markets and government regulations of such technologies; our ability to manage our growth and expand our business operations effectively, including into international markets, such as China, which exposes us to operational, financial, regulatory and geopolitical risks; changes in our government contracts business and our defense customers’ business due to political change and global conflicts; adverse impacts due to limited availability and quality of materials, supplies, and capital equipment, or dependency on third-party service providers and single-source suppliers; the project-based nature of our orders, which can cause our results of operations to fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis; whether we will be able to successfully transition our engineering designs into high volume manufacturing, including our ability to transition to an outsourced manufacturing business model and whether we and our outsourcing partners and suppliers can successfully operate complex machinery; whether we can successfully select, execute or integrate our acquisitions; defects, reliability and other issues with our products which could reduce market adoption of our new products, limit our ability to manufacture, damage our reputation and expose us to product liability, warranty and other claims; our ability to maintain and adequately manage our inventory; our ability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting; our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; availability of
qualified personnel, loss of highly skilled personnel; the transition associated with the appointment of new chief executive officer, the impact of inflation and our stock price on our ability to hire and retain highly skilled personnel; the amount and timing of future sales and whether the average selling prices of our products could decrease rapidly over the life of the product as well as our dependence on a few key customers, who are often large corporations with substantial negotiating power; our ability to establish and maintain confidence in our long-term business prospects among customers and analysts and within our industry; whether we are subject to negative publicity; the effects of infectious diseases, health epidemics, pandemics and natural disasters on Luminar’s business; interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems; cybersecurity risks to our operational systems, security systems, infrastructure, integrated software in our LiDAR solutions; market instability exacerbated by geopolitical conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas war and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine; trade disputes with China and other countries, including the effect of sanctions and trade restrictions, such as tariffs imposed by the U.S. government and any countermeasures by other governments in response to such tariffs, that may affect supply chain or sales opportunities or overall demand; the large amount of our outstanding indebtedness and our ability to comply with covenants contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness; our ability to access sources of capital to repay our indebtedness, and finance operations and growth; our ability to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing standards for the listing of our Class A common stock; our ability to accurately estimate the charges associated with the reductions under the 2025 restructuring plan, and those other factors discussed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (our “2024 Form 10-Kt”) under the heading “Risk Factors” and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC. You should specifically consider the numerous risks outlined in the Risk Factors section of our 2024 Form 10-K. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

In November 2024, following approval by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) held in October 2024 of a reverse stock split of all the outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock and any common stock held by the Company as treasury shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and a determination by the Board of Directors of a reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-15 (the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”), the Company effected a Reverse Stock Split at the Reverse Stock Split Ratio. All share data and per share data amounts prior to December 31, 2024 included in this Form 10-Q have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. The significant estimates made by management include inventory reserves, useful life of long-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, impairment of goodwill and IPR&D, assets acquired in mergers and acquisitions, including intangible assets, forecasted costs associated with non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services, restructuring costs, valuation of convertible and senior notes and derivatives associated with them, valuation of distinct goods and services in the purchase contract with customers, and stock-based compensation expense. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and they are adjusted prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Liquidity
Since inception, the Company has not generated positive cash flows from operating activities and has incurred significant losses from operations. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.2 billion. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for at least the foreseeable future due to continued investments in product and software development, efforts to build customer relations, expansion into additional markets, and investments in developing advanced manufacturing capabilities, including at contract manufacturing partners.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $59.3 million and marketable securities of $78.9 million, totaling $138.2 million of total liquidity. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $44.2 million of cash was used in operations. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have been proceeds received from issuances of debt and equity. To execute on its strategic initiatives, the Company will continue to require additional capital resources. The Company continues to assess its liquidity position and opportunities for additional capital, which may be obtained through issuances of equity securities or additional debt financing. In the event that additional liquidity is required, the Company may not be able to
LUMINAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
obtain funding on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when desired, its business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The Company expects to fund its operations, product and business development initiatives and associated capital expenditures through cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, issuance of shares of Class A common stock to vendors and third parties for services provided under its stock in lieu of cash program, issuance of Class A common stock under the Equity Financing Program or the issuance of preferred stock, or any combination of the foregoing. Based on current plans and projections, the Company believes its existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity requirements and enable it to continue to execute its business strategy for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Segment Information
The Company has determined its operating segments using the same indicators that were used to evaluate its performance internally. The Company’s business activities are organized in two operating segments:
(i) “Autonomy Solutions”, which includes manufacturing and sale of LiDAR sensors that measure distance using pulsed laser light to generate a 3D environmental model (a.k.a. “point cloud”0, non-recurring engineering services related to the Company’s LiDAR products, development of software products that enable autonomy capabilities for automotive applications, and licensing of certain data and information. In June 2022, the Company acquired certain assets from Solfice Research, Inc. (“Solfice” or “Civil Maps”). In January 2023, the Company acquired certain assets from Seagate Technology LLC and Seagate Singapore International Headquarters Pte. Ltd. (individually and collectively, “Seagate”). Assets purchased from both Civil Maps and Seagate have been included in the Autonomy Solutions segment.
(ii) “Advanced Technologies and Services (“ATS”)”, which includes the design, development, manufacturing, packaging, and development services of photonic components and sub-systems (including semiconductor lasers and photodetectors), application-specific integrated circuits, and pixel-based sensors. The Company acquired Optogration, Inc. (“Optogration”) in August 2021, Freedom Photonics LLC (“Freedom Photonics”) in April 2022, and EM4, LLC (“EM4”) in March 2024. Operations of Optogration, Freedom Photonics and EM4 have been included in the ATS segment since their respective acquisition dates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, debt securities, and accounts receivable. The Company’s deposits exceed federally insured limits. Cash held by foreign subsidiaries of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was not material.
The Company’s revenue is derived from customers located in the United States and international markets. Three customers, customer D, customer B and customer A, accounted for 44%, 14% and 13% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025. Two customers, customer B and customer A, accounted for 32% and 22%of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024, respectively.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There has been no material change to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments (“ASU 2024-04”), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company prospectively early adopted ASU 2024-04 as of January 1, 2025. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of $6.2 million as a result of Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) related to the Exchange Transactions (as defined in Note 8) for the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes (as defined in Note 8), and the extinguishment gain was recorded in the other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8 for additional information.
LUMINAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public business entities to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires a public company to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures to provide information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company for the annual period beginning January 1, 2025 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it may have on its financial statement disclosures.
Note 3. Business Combinations and Acquisitions
Acquisition of EM4
On March 18, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of EM4, a designer, manufacturer and seller of packaged photonic components and sub-systems for aerospace and industrial markets. The EM4 acquisition is expected to accelerate the Company’s strategy to package lasers, detectors and ASICs into modules and sub-systems.
The Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of EM4 from G&H Investment Holding, Inc. (“G&H”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.2 million in cash, net of working capital adjustments, and up to $6.75 million in contingent future payments to G&H subject to the achievement of certain financial performance targets. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the probability-weighted fair value of the contingent consideration. This transaction has been accounted for as a business combination. The acquisition related costs incurred as part of the transaction were not material.

| | |
Since the consideration paid by the Company to acquire EM4’s business was lower than the estimated fair value of net assets acquired, the Company recognized a $1.5 million gain from the acquisition of EM4. The following factors contributed towards the purchase price paid by the Company being lower than the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired: (a) EM4 had historically been incurring losses; (b) G&H viewed EM4 as non-core; (c) although G&H pursued a competitive auction process for the business, the ultimate timeline to completion was drawn-out due to the complexity of the transaction structure; and (d) during the later stages of the sale process, after the Company was selected as the winning bidder, EM4’s business was

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
impacted by the cancellation of certain material government programs as well as delays in certain other purchase orders, which also served to significantly reduce the estimated probability of the contingent future payments to G&H. In the first quarter of 2024, the gain from the acquisition of EM4 was estimated to be $1.8 million, but in the fourth quarter of 2024 the Company and G&H agreed to certain adjustments to EM4’s closing balance sheet which resulted in a $0.3 million reduction in purchase price and a commensurate increase in the gain from the acquisition of EM4.
The results of operations related to EM4 are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations beginning from the Acquisition Date.
Note 4. Revenue
The Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of LiDAR sensors, semiconductor components, NRE services and licensing of certain data and information available with the Company.
Disaggregation of Revenues
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by (1) geographic region based on a customer’s billed to location, and (2) type of good or service and timing of transfer of goods or services to customers (point-in-time or over time), as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Total revenue based on the disaggregation criteria described above, as well as revenue by segment, are as follows (in thousands):

Total | $ | 18,886 | | | 100 | % | | $ | 20,968 | | | 100 | % |
Contract assets and liabilities
Changes in the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment based on contractual terms. Contract assets primarily represent revenues recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts have not been billed. Contract liabilities consist of the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. Customer advance payments represent required customer payments in advance of product shipments. Customer advance payments are recognized in revenue as or when control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

Note 5. Restructuring
On May 3, 2024, the Company announced a restructuring plan (“2024 Restructuring Plan”), including a reduction in its workforce by approximately 20%. On September 20, 2024, the Company announced additional actions under the 2024 Restructuring Plan that included a cumulative reduction in workforce of approximately 30% of the Company’s full-time employees since the beginning of 2024.

The Company continually evaluates opportunities for optimizing its manufacturing processes and product design, including evaluating its sourcing strategies to reduce per unit sensor manufacturing costs. In 2023, the Company finalized and committed to a change in sourcing of certain sub-assemblies and components from one supplier to another, which required the Company to abandon certain equipment located at the legacy supplier. As a result, the Company reduced the useful lives of the long-lived assets within the impacted asset group in line with when these assets are expected to be abandoned. The reduction in the estimated useful lives of the impacted assets resulted in the Company recording $0.1 million and $2.1 million of incremental accelerated depreciation charges in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 8. Debt
2026 Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Transactions
In December 2021, the Company issued $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 in a private placement, which included $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the option granted to the initial purchasers to purchase additional notes (collectively, the “2026 Convertible Senior Notes”). The interest on the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2022. The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2026, unless repurchased or redeemed earlier by the Company or converted pursuant to their terms.
Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes is initially convertible into 3.3365 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $299.70 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events prior to the maturity date but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption in respect of some or all of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for a holder who elects to convert its 2026 Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its 2026 Convertible Senior Notes called for redemption during the related redemption period, as the case may be. The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at the Company’s option at
LUMINAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
any time, and from time to time on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if certain liquidity conditions are satisfied and the last reported sale price per share of the Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice, and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes) prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2026 Convertible Senior Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Holders of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes may convert their 2026 Convertible Senior Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2026, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2022, if the last reported sale price per share of the Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (such 10 consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Class A common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on the Class A common stock; and (4) if the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are called for redemption. On or after June 15, 2026, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Convertible Senior Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its Class A common stock, at the Company’s election. As of March 31, 2025, the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes to convert were not met.
The 2026 Convertible Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and will rank equal in right of payment with the Company’s future senior unsecured indebtedness; senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes; effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The Company has classified the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes as a non-current liability. Debt discount and issuance costs aggregating approximately $16.2 million were initially recorded as a reduction to the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes and is being amortized as interest expense on a straight line basis over the contractual terms of the notes. The Company estimates that the difference between amortizing the debt discounts and the issuance costs using the straight line method as compared to using the effective interest rate method is immaterial.
In connection with the offering of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call option transactions with certain counterparties (the “Capped Calls”). The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of approximately $299.70 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes. The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $452.40 per share, subject to certain adjustment events. The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce the potential dilution to the Class A common stock upon any conversion of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The Capped Calls expire on April 6, 2027, subject to earlier exercise. The Capped Calls are subject to either adjustment or termination upon the occurrence of specified extraordinary events affecting the Company, including a merger event, a tender offer, and a nationalization, insolvency or delisting involving the Company. In addition, the Capped Calls are subject to certain specified additional disruption events that may give rise to a termination of the Capped Calls, including changes in law, failure to deliver, and hedging disruptions. The Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The net cost of $73.4 million incurred to purchase the Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In August 2024, pursuant to a privately negotiated exchange agreement, the Company exchanged $421.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for $82.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its newly issued 9.0% convertible second lien senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Series 1 Notes”), and $192.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its newly issued 11.5% convertible second lien senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Series 2 Notes”, and collectively with the Series 1 Notes, the “2030 Convertible Notes”). Concurrently with the Exchange Transaction, the Company also issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of its newly issued first-lien, senior secured floating rate notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”) in a private placement for cash consideration of $97.0 million. As a result of the exchange and purchase transactions (the “Note Purchase and Initial Exchange Transaction”), during the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognized $142.2 million gain on debt extinguishment which represented the difference between the carrying value of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes so exchanged and the collective fair value of 2030 Convertible Notes and the Senior Notes, net of the cash payment received from the investors. The extinguishment gain was recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In March 2025, the Company entered into separate, individually negotiated private exchange agreements with certain holders of the Company’s 2026 Convertible Senior Notes to exchange $18.2 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Convertible Senior Notes (the “Exchanged Notes”) for newly issued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, plus, in certain circumstances, cash in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes (such exchanges, collectively, the “Exchange Transactions”). The Company canceled the Exchanged Notes received in the Exchange Transactions.
The Exchange Transactions settled in four consecutive daily tranches, each for $4.6 million aggregate principal amount of Exchanged Notes, commencing on March 25, 2025. The number of shares of Class A common stock issued for each $1,000 principal amount of Exchanged Notes in each tranche was based on a formula set forth in the Exchange Agreements. As of March 28, 2025, which was the final settlement date of the Exchange Transactions, the Company had issued an aggregate of 1,951,819 shares of Class A common stock in the Exchange Transactions. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Transactions and did not pay cash to the lenders. As a result of the Exchange Transactions, during the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $6.2 million gain on debt extinguishment as a result of TDR, which represented the difference between the carrying value of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes and fair value of the Class A common stock issued and amount of legal fees incurred. The extinguishment gain was recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Senior Notes
On August 8, 2024, the Company issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in a private placement (the “Note Purchase”). At the time of the issuance, the fair value of the Senior Notes was $97.0 million, resulting in a debt discount of $3.0 million.
The Senior Notes will mature on the earlier of (i) August 15, 2028 or (ii) if more than $100.0 million of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes remain outstanding as of June 30, 2026, then September 15, 2026. The Senior Notes will bear floating interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 9.0%, subject to a Term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) floor of 3.0%,
LUMINAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
resulting in an effective interest rate of 15.0% as of March 31, 2025. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15 of each year.
The Company may redeem the Senior Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the following periods, inclusive of the prepayment fee due on any such redemption: on or prior to August 15, 2026: 111%; after August 15, 2026 and on or prior to August 15, 2027: 108%; and after August 15, 2027: 103%. The Senior Notes are also subject to a customary make-whole payment in the event of any redemption or acceleration of the Senior Notes on or prior to August 15, 2025.
In the event of a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “First Lien Indenture”), the holders of the Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase their notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s current and future material subsidiaries on a senior secured basis, subject to certain criteria and exceptions. The Senior Notes and the guarantees are secured by a fully perfected first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain subsidiary guarantors (the “Guarantors”), subject to certain exceptions, including any first-priority liens on customary asset-based lending collateral, including accounts receivable and inventory, pursuant to a revolving credit facility permitted under the First Lien Indenture.
The First Lien Indenture includes restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, make restricted payments and grant or incur liens, in addition to a financial covenant to maintain an unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance, plus any unused commitments then available to be drawn under any revolving credit facility permitted under the First Lien Indenture, of not less than $35.0 million as of the last day, or for more than five days, of any calendar month. The First Lien Indenture also contains customary events of default.
The Company has classified the Senior Notes as a non-current liability. Initial debt discount and issuance costs aggregating approximately $4.9 million were initially recorded as a reduction to the principal amount and will be amortized as interest expense over the contractual terms of the Senior Notes based on the effective interest rate of 16.0%.
The Company recognized interest expense of $3.5 million for the Senior Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which included $0.2 million from the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs.
The net carrying amount of the Senior Notes was as follows (in thousands):

Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs | (4,309) | | | (4,501) | |
Net carrying amount | $ | 95,691 | | | $ | 95,499 | |
The remaining term over which the debt discount and issuance costs will be amortized is 3.4 years.
The Company estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes using a binomial model as of August 8, 2024, with the following valuation inputs: payment interest rate of 12.4% - 14.3%, effective borrowing rate of 14.4%, interest rate volatility of 23.0%.
The Company estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes using a binomial model as of March 31, 2025, with the following valuation inputs: payment interest rate of 11.7% - 12.6%, effective borrowing rate of 9.0%, interest rate volatility of 27.3%.
2030 Convertible Notes
On August 8, 2024, the Company issued $82.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Series 1 Notes (the Series 1 Notes”) and $192.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Series 2 Notes (the “Series 2 Notes” and together with the Series 1 Notes, the “2030 Convertible Notes”) (the “Initial Exchange Transaction”) in exchange for $421.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes. At the time of the exchange, the fair value of the Series 1 Notes and the Series 2 Notes was $87.5 million and $186.2 million, respectively, resulting in a debt premium of $5.2 million and a debt discount of $5.7 million, respectively.
The 2030 Convertible Notes will mature on the earlier of (i) January 15, 2030 or (ii) if more than $100.0 million of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes remain outstanding as of June 30, 2026, then September 15, 2026. The Series 1 Notes bear
LUMINAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum, and the Series 2 Notes bear interest at a rate of 11.5% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year.
Each $1,000 principal amount of the Series 1 Notes and Series 2 Notes is initially convertible into 45.8568 and 27.5141 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.75 and $36.30 per share, respectively. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events prior to the maturity date.
The 2030 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time before the maturity date, at the conversion price then in effect plus a make-whole premium (the “Make-Whole Premium”) equal to the lesser of (i) all regularly scheduled interest payments that would be due on the portion of such 2030 Convertible Notes being redeemed for the succeeding two year period and (ii) all regularly scheduled interest payments that would be due on the portion of such 2030 Convertible Notes being redeemed through the maturity date, and is capped at the maximum number of shares that would be issuable in connection with a conversion following a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”, as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Convertible Notes (the “Second Lien Indenture”). The Make-Whole Premium will be payable in either cash or shares, at the Company’s option.
The Company accounted for the conversion option of the Series 1 Notes and Series 2 Notes as bifurcated derivatives and are accounted for separately as derivative instruments. The bifurcated derivative instruments are liability classified and the initial fair value of the derivative instruments of $25.2 million and $24.0 million was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Series 1 Notes and Series 2 Notes, respectively, upon issuance. The Company remeasures the derivative liabilities at each reporting period with any changes recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
If a fundamental change, as defined in the Second Lien Indenture, occurs, then holders may require the Company to repurchase their 2030 Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. A holder that elects to convert its 2030 Convertible Notes in connection with a fundamental change may be entitled to receive a make-whole adjustment in connection with such corporate event in certain circumstances. The definition of fundamental change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain delisting events with respect to the Company’s Class A common stock.
The Company may redeem the 2030 Convertible Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, if the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a given Series then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 day consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, and certain liquidity conditions are then satisfied, at a redemption price equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date, and (iii) the Make-Whole Premium.
The 2030 Convertible Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s current and future material subsidiaries on a second-priority senior secured basis, subject to certain criteria and exceptions. The 2030 Convertible Notes and the guarantees are secured by a fully perfected second-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to the first-priority liens securing or otherwise permitted by the Senior Notes and any first-priority liens on customary asset-based lending collateral, including accounts receivable and inventory, pursuant to a revolving credit facility permitted under the Second Lien Indenture.
The Second Lien Indenture includes restrictive covenants substantially similar to the First Lien Indenture that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, make restricted payments and grant or incur liens, in addition to a financial covenant to maintain an unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance, plus any unused commitments then available to be drawn under any revolving credit facility permitted under the Second Lien Indenture, of not less than $31.5 million as of the last day, or for more than five days, of any calendar month. The Second Lien Indenture also contains customary events of default.
The Company has classified the 2030 Convertible Notes as a non-current liability. Initial debt discount (including the initial fair value of the bifurcated derivative liabilities) and issuance costs aggregating approximately $21.6 million and $33.3 million were initially recorded as a reduction to the principal amount of the Series 1 Notes and Series 2 Notes, respectively, and will be amortized as interest expense over the contractual terms of the 2030 Convertible Notes based on the effective interest rates of 16.3% and 16.3%, respectively.

Credit Facility
In February 2024, the Company entered into two non-recourse loan and securities pledge agreements (the “Loan Agreements”) with The St. James Bank & Trust Company Ltd. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of $50.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). Any loans made by the Lender under the Loan Agreements would be collateralized by shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or stock the Company holds as investments in other companies. The Loan Agreements require the Company to pay an up-front structure fee of 1.5% on any amounts borrowed, and any outstanding amounts would bear interest at 8.0% per annum. The Company has not borrowed any amounts under the Credit Facility and had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2025.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
As of March 31, 2025, the Company carried cash equivalents, marketable investments, bifurcated derivatives associated with the 2030 Convertible Notes and Private Warrants that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company measures its equity-settled fixed value awards at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 12 for further information on the Company’s fixed value equity awards.
Fair value is based on the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 — Observable inputs, which include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are based on management’s assumptions, including fair value measurements determined by using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.
The Company determined the fair value of its Level 1 financial instruments, which are traded in active markets, using quoted market prices for identical instruments.
Marketable investments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on other observable inputs, including broker or dealer quotations, alternative pricing sources or U.S. Government Treasury yield of appropriate term. When quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available, the Company relies on non-binding quotes from its investment managers, which are based on proprietary valuation models of independent pricing services. These models generally use inputs such as observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments, or historical pricing trends of a security as relative to its peers. To validate the fair value determination provided by its investment managers, the Company reviews the pricing movement in the context of overall market trends and trading information from its investment managers. The Company performs routine procedures such as comparing prices obtained from independent sources to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded.
Given that the transfer of Private Warrants to anyone outside of a small group of individuals constituting the sponsors of Gores Metropoulos, Inc. (“Gores”) would result in the Private Warrants having substantially the same terms as warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of Gores (“Public Warrants”), management determined that the fair value of each Private Warrant is the same as that of a Public Warrant, with an insignificant adjustment for short-term marketability restrictions. The fair value of Private Warrants was at de minimis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Convertible Senior Notes was $111.3 million and $93.6 million, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the quoted price of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8 for further information on the Company’s 2026 Convertible Senior Notes.
As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Series 1 Notes and Series 2 Notes of the 2023 Convertible Notes, excluding the bifurcated derivative liabilities value was $49.5 million and $178.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Series 1 Notes and Series 2 Notes of the 2023 Convertible Notes, excluding the bifurcate derivative liabilities value was $52.1 million and $190.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $109.4 million and $111.0 million, respectively. The fair value was determined based on a binomial lattice model and have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8 for further information on these notes.
The Company’s other financial instruments’ fair value, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, approximate its carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s finance leases approximate their fair value, which is the present value of expected future cash payments based on assumptions about current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the Company.
Note 10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method for the employee equity incentive plans and stock-based awards, and the if-converted method for the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes and 2030 Convertible Notes. If the Company reports a net loss, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, as their effect would be antidilutive. The Company computes earnings (loss) per share using the two-class method for its Class A and Class B common stock. Earnings (loss) per share is same for both Class A and Class B common stock since they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except for share and per share amounts): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Equity Financing Program
On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “2023 Sales Agreement”) with Virtu Americas LLC (the “Agent”) under which the Company could offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $75.0 million through an equity offering program under which the Agent will act as sales agent (the “Equity Financing Program”). The Company completed sales of common stock under the 2023 Sales Agreement in March 2024.
On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement (the “2024 Sales Agreement”) with the Agent, which extended the Equity Financing Program under the 2023 Sales Agreement. Under the 2024 Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to an additional $150.0 million under the Equity Financing Program. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, from offerings under this program for expenditures or payments in connection with strategic investments, partnerships and similar transactions, repurchases of outstanding convertible debt securities, and for general corporate and business purposes.
In August 2024, the Company increased the Equity Financing Program by an additional $50.0 million pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement.
Under the 2024 Sales Agreement, the Company sets the parameters for the sale of the shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, limitations on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2024 Sales Agreement, the Agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell the shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), including sales made through The Nasdaq Global Select Market.
In March 2025, the Company expanded the program under the 2024 Sales Agreement with the Agent, under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, shares of its Class A common stock, with aggregate gross proceeds of up to an additional $75.0 million under the Equity Financing Program. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from offerings under the Equity Financing Program for general corporate purposes, including payment of interest on debt and otherwise to repay, repurchase, or service such debt.
The Company issued 70,053 shares of Class A common stock under the Equity Financing Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 for net proceeds of $0.4 million. As of March 31, 2025, the amount available for sale under the 2024 Sales Agreement was $208.6 million.
Private Warrants
As of December 31, 2024, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the outstanding Private Warrants were 111,218 shares. No Private Warrants were exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Private Warrants expire on December 2, 2025. Each Private Warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $172.50 per share.

Stock-in-lieu of Cash Program
The Company has entered into arrangements with certain vendors and other third parties wherein the Company at its discretion may elect to compensate the respective vendors and third parties for services provided either in cash or by issuing shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company considers the shares issuable under this Stock-in-lieu of Cash Program as liability classified awards when the arrangement with the vendors requires the Company to issue a variable number of shares to settle amounts owed.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to an affiliate of a Company vendor, TPK Holding Co., Ltd. (“TPK”), under the Stock-in-lieu of Cash Program. The shares were issued as consideration for service to be rendered or other payment obligations over the next several fiscal quarters, pursuant to contractual arrangements between the Company and TPK. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a total of $4.5 million in prepaid expenses and other current and non-current assets related to its Stock-in-lieu of Cash Program.

Note 12. Stock-based Compensation
Prior to becoming a publicly traded entity, the Company issued incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock to employees and non-employee consultants under its 2015 Stock Plan (the “2015 Plan”). Since the closing of the business combination between Gores Metropoulos, Inc. and Luminar Technologies, Inc. on December 2, 2020 (the “Business Combination”), the Company has not issued any new stock-based awards under the 2015 Plan.
In December 2020, the Board adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination. Under the 2020 Plan, the Company was originally authorized to issue a maximum number of 2,439,218 shares of Class A common stock.
In June 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2020 Plan (the “Amended 2020 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance by 2,400,000 additional shares and added an evergreen provision under which the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the Amended 2020 Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company beginning with the 2023 fiscal year and ending on (and including) the first day of the 2030 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 2,666,666 shares or (iii) such number of shares determined by the Board. Pursuant to the evergreen provision, 2,073,584 additional shares of Class A common stock were added to the Amended 2020 Plan on January 1, 2025.
In June 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended 2020 Plan (the “Amended and Restated EIP”) to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance by 1,333,333 additional shares of Class A common stock.
Stock Options
Under the terms of the 2015 Plan, incentive stock options had an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant, while non-qualified stock options were permitted to be granted below fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted have service-based vesting conditions only. The service-based vesting conditions vary, though typically, stock options vest over four years with 25% of stock options vesting on the first anniversary of the grant and the remaining 75% vesting monthly over the remaining 36 months. Option holders have a 10-year period to exercise their options before they expire. Forfeitures are recognized in the period of occurrence.

Restricted Stock Units
Since the closing of the Business Combination, the Company has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Amended and Restated EIP (and prior to its amendment and restatement, under the Amended 2020 Plan and the 2020 Plan). Each RSU granted under the Amended and Restated EIP represents a right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock when the RSU vests. RSUs generally vest over a period up to six years. The Company has granted certain performance-based equity awards that vest upon achievement of certain performance milestones. The fair value of RSUs is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Company issues fixed value equity awards to certain employees as a part of their compensation package. These awards are issued as RSUs under the Amended and Restated EIP (and prior to its amendment and restatement, under the Amended 2020 Plan and the 2020 Plan) and are accounted for as liability classified awards under ASC 718 — Stock Compensation. Fixed value equity awards granted have service-based conditions only and vest quarterly over a period of up to six years. These awards represent a fixed dollar amount settled in a variable number of shares determined at each vesting period.
Freedom Photonics Awards
As part of the Freedom Photonics acquisition in April 2022, the Company owed up to $29.8 million of post combination compensation related to certain service and performance conditions including achievement of certain technical and financial milestones.

Provision for income taxes for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was (0.2)% and (0.5)% or the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates differ significantly from the statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to the Company’s valuation allowance movement in each period presented and taxes on foreign earnings.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
The Company purchases goods and services from a variety of suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Purchase obligations are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the transaction. The Company had purchase obligations primarily for purchases of inventory, R&D, and general and administrative activities totaling $87.4 million as of March 31, 2025.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in actions, claims, suits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including assertions by third parties relating to intellectual property infringement, breaches of contract or warranties or employment-related matters. When it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability for such loss contingencies. The Company’s estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on the Company’s judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although the Company will continue to reassess its reserves and estimates based on future developments, the Company’s objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from the Company’s current estimates. The Company’s current legal accrual is not material to the financial statements.
On May 26, 2023, a putative class action styled Johnson v. Luminar Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 6:23-cv-00982-PGB-LHP, was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, against the Company and an employee. The suit asserts purported claims on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between February 28, 2023 and March 17, 2023 under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act for allegedly misleading statements regarding the Company’s photonic integrated circuits technology. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on December 29, 2023, the motion was granted, and on July 8, 2024 Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 22, 2024, and the motion was granted on December 12, 2024. Plaintiff filed a third amended complaint and Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the third amended complaint on February 24, 2025. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the litigation. The Company presently does not expect this matter to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results and did not accrue anything related to this matter as of March 31, 2025. On October 21, 2023, a shareholder derivative suit entitled Bhavsar v. McAuliffe, et al. Bhavsar v. McAuliffe, et al., No. 6:23-cv-02037 was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against directors of the Company and an employee. The suit avers claims for purported breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste, aiding and abetting, and contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act on the basis of the same purported wrongdoing alleged in the first lawsuit described above. In November 2023, three additional shareholder derivative suits averring similar claims to Bhavsar were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware: Lance Dechant, et al. v. Alec E. Gores, et al., C.A. No. 23-cv-01318-UNA, Hutchinson v. Russell, et al., C.A. No. 23-cv-01345-UNA, and Ulerio v. Russell, et al., C.A. No. 23-cv-01359-UNA. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and intends to vigorously defend the litigation. The Company has determined that the likelihood of this matter resulting in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results is remote.

Note 17. Subsequent Events
Equity Financing Program
In April 2025, the Company issued 1,317,261 shares of Class A common stock under the Equity Financing Program for net proceeds of $6.1 million.
Restructuring
On May 15, 2025, Luminar Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) began executing additional restructuring efforts (“2025 Restructuring Plan”), including a reduction in its workforce. The actions associated with the 2025 Restructuring Plan commenced immediately and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $4.0 million to $5.0 million in cash charges in connection with the 2025 Restructuring Plan, associated with employee severance and related employee costs, as well as additional non-cash charges related to acceleration of certain previously granted stock-based awards as part of severance packages for employees impacted under the 2025 Restructuring Plan. These charges are expected to be incurred primarily in the second and third quarters of 2025. The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the 2025 Restructuring Plan.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Financing
On May 19, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, in a series of registered direct offerings, up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), to the investors at a purchase price of $960.00 per share. The initial offering for 35,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock is expected to close on or about May 21, 2025, following the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth in the Series A Purchase Agreement, for net proceeds to the Company of $33.6 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.
As consideration for the investors’ commitment to purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue $2.0 million in shares of Class A common stock to the lead investor of the Series A Preferred Stock financing.
Each additional closing under the Series A Purchase Agreement is at the option of the Company upon notice to the investors and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth in the Series A Purchase Agreement, including, among others and subject to certain qualifications, the absence of certain defaults, no material adverse effect, a minimum liquidity requirement, satisfaction of certain trading price and volume thresholds during the ten consecutive trading day period preceding the additional closing, that any such additional closing may be no less than 60 days following the immediately preceding closing (or, if more than 25,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were sold at the immediately preceding closing, 90 days or such earlier date after 60 days following the immediately preceding additional closing that the investors no longer hold any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock sold at the immediately preceding closing) and receipt of the stockholder approval for purposes of Nasdaq listing rules (as described below) prior to the first such additional closing.
The terms, rights, obligations and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock, including voluntary conversion and redemption provisions, as well as beneficial ownership and voting restrictions and share cap limitations, will be set forth in a certificate of designations to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State prior to the initial closing. The Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible, at the holder’s option at any time, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the certificate of designations, into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The certificate of designations will contain limitations on conversion to prevent the issuance by the Company of more shares of Class A common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock than would be permissible under Nasdaq listing rules without first obtaining stockholder approval. The Series A Preferred Stock will also be entitled to receive dividends payable-in-kind at the rate of 18.0% per annum from and after the occurrence of certain triggering events set forth in the certificate of designations, subject to certain restrictions and provisions as set forth in the certificate of designations.
ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are a technology company specializing in advanced Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) hardware and software solutions to enable the world’s safest and smartest vehicles. Over the past decade, we have been developing proprietary LiDAR hardware, core semiconductor components, and software in-house to meet the demanding performance, safety, reliability, and cost requirements to enable next-generation safety and autonomous capabilities for passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as other adjacent markets.
Beyond sensor hardware, our product portfolio has expanded to include semiconductor components of our LiDAR that have utility in adjacent markets, in-development software capabilities such as perception and high-definition “3D” mapping, certain data sets and other information, all of which we anticipate will monetize the ecosystem of improved safety and autonomy created by our LiDAR. Substantially all of our software products have not achieved technological feasibility or have been commercialized.
Industrialization Update
We continue to execute on our industrialization plan in conjunction with our automaker partners. We have contract manufacturing services agreements to enable series production of our Iris LiDAR sensors with Celestica and Fabrinet, whereby Fabrinet is responsible for assembly and testing of our transceiver sub-component based on our design and components and Celestica is responsible for final assembly and testing of our LiDAR sensor including the transceiver from Fabrinet. We also have a partnership with TPK Group, whereby we established an engineering center in China, staffed by TPK, to assist with our industrialization efforts, including manufacturing process design, development and validation, component process verification and validation, supplier development support, system validation, cost analysis, and benchmarking.
We achieved start of production (“SOP”) for Volvo Cars at the manufacturing facility in Mexico in 2024 and began shipping production LiDAR sensors for the Volvo EX90. Through the first quarter of 2025,we continued to meet all key deliverables for our customer’s production ramp.
We continually evaluate opportunities for optimizing our manufacturing and product design processes, including evaluating our sourcing strategies to reduce future per unit sensor manufacturing costs. In 2023, we commenced a change in sourcing of certain sub-assemblies and components from one supplier to another, which required us to abandon certain equipment located at the legacy supplier. As a result, we reduced the useful lives of the long-lived assets within the impacted asset group in line with when these assets are expected to be abandoned. The reduction in the estimated useful lives of the impacted assets resulted in us recording $0.1 million of accelerated depreciation charges in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and our expected transition to new suppliers has essentially been completed. In 2024, we commenced a change in sourcing of final assembly of components from one contract manufacturer to another. This effort included taking scaled down or production downtime at the dedicated manufacturing facility in Mexico. Our continuing optimization of our manufacturing and product design processes may impact estimated useful lives or carrying values of additional property, plant and equipment or other assets.
Business Updates
In March 2025, we announced that our LiDAR technology will be equipped in the new Volvo ES90. This marks the second Volvo model to feature our technology, following the successful launch of the Volvo EX90. Our LiDAR sensors on initial EX90 vehicles are first being used for road data collection and system training, and will later be activated as part of the vehicle’s active safety system.
In March 2025, we announced a collaboration with Caterpillar Inc. to integrate our LiDAR technology into Caterpillar’s next-generation autonomous solution. Each Caterpillar off-highway truck will feature two Iris LiDARs with a unique integration system designed exclusively for the customer.
In 2024, we executed a restructuring and cost reduction plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), consisting of events in both May and September, which included reducing our workforce by a cumulative 30%, as well as sub-leasing of certain facilities and other actions. We expect the actions outlined will be substantially complete by the end of 2025.
Through March 31, 2025, we incurred $9.8 million in total charges associated with employee severance and related
costs, including both cash and stock from the actions we took in May 2024 and September 2024.
In March 2025, we entered into separate, individually negotiated private exchange agreements with certain holders of the Company’s 2026 Convertible Senior Notes to exchange $18.2 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Convertible Senior Notes (the “Exchanged Notes”) for newly issued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, plus, in certain circumstances, cash in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes (such exchanges, collectively, the “Exchange Transactions”). The Company canceled the Exchanged Notes received in the Exchange Transactions. The Exchange Transactions settled in four consecutive daily tranches, each for $4.6 million aggregate principal amount of Exchanged Notes, commencing on March 25, 2025. As of March 28, 2025, which was the final settlement date of the Exchange Transactions, the Company had issued an aggregate of 1,951,819 shares of Class A common stock in the Exchange Transactions. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Transactions. See Note 8 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more detail.
Through the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received notices from holders of Series 2 of the 2030 Convertible Notes(the “Series 2 Notes”) to convert the principal amount of $2.0 million of Series 2 Notes, upon which we issued 127,466 shares of Class A common stock on a reverse split-adjusted basis to settle such conversion of the Series 2 Notes.
Given the customary business practices in the automotive industry, the rapidly changing nature of the markets in which we compete, and the fact that LiDAR is a new technology in the industry, there remains potential risk that our major commercial wins or other milestone achievements may not ultimately generate any significant revenue. See the discussion under the heading “The period of time from a major commercial win to implementation is long and we are subject to risks of cancellation or postponement of the contract or unsuccessful implementation” in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I in our 2024 Annual Report.
Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Our business and revenue producing activities are organized in two operating segments: (i) Autonomy Solutions and (ii) Advanced Technologies and Services (“ATS”).
The Autonomy Solutions segment is engaged in the design, manufacturing, and sale of LiDAR sensors catering mainly to OEMs in the automotive, commercial vehicle, robo-taxi and adjacent industries. The Autonomy Solutions segment revenue also includes fees earned from non-recurring engineering services provided to customers in connection with customization of our hardware and software products, as well as revenue generated from licensing of certain data and information.
The ATS segment provides advanced semiconductors and related components, as well as design, testing and consulting services to the Autonomy Solutions segment and to various third-party customers, including government agencies and defense contractors, in markets generally unrelated to autonomous vehicles.
Two customers, customer A and customer B of the Autonomy Solutions segment, accounted for 42% and 20%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Three customers, customer B, customer C and customer D of autonomy solutions segment, accounted for 48%, 11% and 10% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024. A vast majority of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in North America.
Consideration Payable to Customers
We enter into revenue and purchase contracts with the same customers from time to time. When payments to customers are in exchange for distinct goods and services, we evaluate the underlying economics and fair value of the distinct goods and services. If we determine any portion of the consideration payable to the customer exceeds the fair value of the distinct goods and services, the excess is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price of the revenue contract.
Cost of sales and gross profit (loss)
Cost of sales includes the fixed and variable manufacturing cost of our LiDAR sensors, which primarily consists of material purchases from third-party contract manufacturers and suppliers that are directly associated with our manufacturing process, as well as personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in manufacturing, and engineering. Cost of sales also includes the cost of providing services to customers, depreciation and amortization for manufacturing fixed assets or equipment, cost of components, product testing and launch-related costs, an allocated portion of overhead, facility and information technology (“IT”) costs, write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory, as well as shipping costs.
The ATS segment provides certain services and components to the Autonomy Solutions segment, which are recorded as cost of goods sold or research and development costs depending on the nature and use of such services and components by the Autonomy Solutions segment. These inter-segment transactions are eliminated in the consolidated results.
Gross profit (loss) equals revenue less cost of sales. As we transition from prototype production to series production, average selling prices for our products will be lower. We expect these lower average selling prices to temporarily increase our gross loss until we start to realize the benefits of cost reduction and efficiency measures and production scaling.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development (R&D)
R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Design and development costs for products to be sold under long-term supply arrangements are expensed as incurred. Design and development costs for molds, dies, and other tools involved in developing new technologies are expensed as incurred.
Our R&D efforts are focused on enhancing and developing additional functionality for our existing products and on new product development, including new releases and upgrades to our LiDAR hardware and integrated software solutions. R&D expenses consist primarily of:
•Personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, for personnel in our research and engineering functions;
•Expenses related to materials, software licenses, supplies, data labeling and other third-party services;
•Prototype expenses; and
•An allocated portion of facility and IT costs and depreciation.
The ATS segment provides certain services and components to the Autonomy Solutions segment, which are recorded as cost of goods sold or R&D costs depending on the nature and use of such services and components by the Autonomy Solutions segment. These inter-segment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated results. We expect our R&D costs to remain elevated for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development activities to achieve our product roadmap, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses for at least the foreseeable future due to continued R&D investments.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist of personnel and personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation of our business development team, as well as advertising and marketing expenses. These include the cost of marketing programs, trade shows, promotional materials, demonstration equipment, an allocated portion of facility and IT costs and depreciation.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel and personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation of our executive, finance, human resources, information systems and legal departments as well as legal and accounting fees for professional and contract services.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net includes change in fair value of warrant liabilities, interest expense, interest income, gain of extinguishment of debt, gain on acquisition of EM4, changes in fair value of derivative liability, and losses and impairments related to investments and certain other assets and other income (expense).
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The derivatives are classified as marked-to-market liabilities, and the corresponding increase or decrease in value is reflected in change in fair value of bifurcated derivatives.
Interest Income and Interest Expense
Interest income consists primarily of income earned on our cash equivalents and marketable securities. These amounts will vary based on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances, and also with market rates. Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our notes as well as amortization of premium (discount) on marketable securities.
Losses and Impairments to investments and Certain Other Assets, and Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense), net includes realized gains and losses related to the marketable securities, as well as impact of gains and losses related to foreign exchange transactions, and impairment of investments and certain other assets.

Revenue
The following table sets forth a breakdown of revenue by segments for the periods presented (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | $ Change | | % Change | | | | | | | | |
Revenue from sales to external customers: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Autonomy Solutions | $ | 13,757 | | | $ | 16,320 | | | $ | (2,563) | | | (16) | % | | | | | | | | |
ATS | 5,129 | | | 4,648 | | | 481 | | | 10 | % | | | | | | | | |
Total | $ | 18,886 | | | $ | 20,968 | | | $ | (2,082) | | | (10) | % | | | | | | | | |
The decrease in revenue of our Autonomy Solutions in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to a $4.3 million net decrease in product revenue and offset by a $1.8 million increase in service revenue.
The increase in revenue of our ATS segment in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to an increase in revenue from the acquisition of EM4 partially offset by a decrease in revenue from non-recurring engineering services.
Cost of Sales
The $4.4 million decrease in the cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to cost reduction initiatives in 2025 and decrease in costs associated with an Iris+ development contract for non-recurring engineering services terminated in the fourth quarter of 2024.
In 2023, we commenced a change in sourcing strategy of certain sub-assemblies and components from one supplier to another, which resulted in discontinued use of certain plant, property and equipment assets as they were no longer needed for their original intended use and required us to abandon certain equipment at the legacy supplier. As a result, we revised the estimated useful lives of the long-lived assets within the impacted asset group, which resulted in us recording depreciation for these assets over an accelerated period. for certain manufacturing activities is expected to result in discontinued use of certain plant, property and equipment assets as they will no longer be needed for their original intended use. As a result of executing our plan, we revised the estimated useful lives of certain long-lived assets within the impacted asset group. This resulted in
recording depreciation for these assets over an accelerated period. We recorded $0.1 million and $2.1 million of incremental accelerated depreciation charges associated with this manufacturing and sourcing change in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
The $29.5 million decrease in research and development expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to a $17.7 million decrease in personnel-related costs driven mainly by decreased headcount, a $10.4 million decrease in outside consultants and contractor fees and a $2.2 million decrease in purchased materials offset by a $1.8 million increase in computer software and other subscriptions.
Sales and Marketing
The $9.6 million decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due a $5.4 million decrease in personnel related costs including stock-based compensation cost due to lower headcount and a $4.0 million reduction in sponsorship fees.
General and Administrative
The $12.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to a $14.8 million decrease in personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense as a result of reduction in headcount and a $0.9 million decrease in rent expenses, offset by a $2.4 million increase in higher information technology and facility related costs allocated to general and administrative expenses and a $1.3 million increase in legal, outside consultants and contractor expenses.
Restructuring Costs
The $0.1 million in restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to actions taken pursuant to the Restructuring Plan announced in May 2024 and expanded in September 2024.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities
The change in fair value of warrant liabilities is a non-cash benefit or charge due to the corresponding decrease or increase in the estimated fair value of warrants issued in a private placement on connection with the initial public offering of Gores Metropoulos, Inc. (“Private Warrants”).
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
The change in gain on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to same period in 2024 was primarily due to $6.3 million gain on debt extinguishment from the Exchange Transactions related to the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes and $0.6 million gain on debt extinguishment on Series 2 Notes conversion.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability
The change in fair value of derivative liability is a non-cash benefit or charge due to the corresponding decrease or increase in the estimated fair value of the bifurcated derivatives in the 2030 Convertible Notes.
Segment Operating Income or Loss
Segment income or loss is defined as income or loss before taxes. Our segment income or loss breakdown is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | $ Change | | % Change | | | | | | | | |
Segment operating income (loss) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Autonomy Solutions | $ | (67,480) | | | $ | (125,019) | | | $ | 57,539 | | | (46 | %) | | | | | | | | |
ATS | (4,792) | | | (750) | | | (4,042) | | | (539 | %) | | | | | | | | |
Autonomy solutions segment operating loss decreased $57.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in operating loss was primarily due to decreases in personnel-related costs driven by decreased headcount and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and travel related expenses, a decrease in purchased materials, and a reduction in supplies expenses.
ATS segment operating loss increased $4.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to a decrease in NRE service revenue and an increase in operating expenses related EM4.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity and Capital Requirements
Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
•market adoption of new and enhanced products and features;
•production capacity and volume;
•the timing and extent of spending to support R&D efforts;
•investments in manufacturing equipment and facilities; and
•investments in information technology systems.
Until we can generate sufficient revenue and profits from the sale of products and services to cover our operating expenses, working capital, and capital expenditures, we expect our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and proceeds from debt and/or equity financings to fund our cash needs.
Issuances of our equity securities have resulted, and any future issuances of our equity securities will result, in dilution to stockholders. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock and may contain terms which impose significant restrictions on our operations. Issuances of our debt securities have resulted in rights, preferences, and privileges senior to holders of our common stock. The indentures governing our outstanding Senior Notes and Convertible Notes contain, and any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness.
In addition, we may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase material amounts of our outstanding debt securities through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, for cash or through exchanges for debt or equity, such as Exchange Transactions, subject to limitations in the agreements governing our outstanding debt securities. Any repurchases or exchanges would be on terms and at prices that we may determine in our discretion and would depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, our receipt of any necessary corporate approvals, and other factors. The credit market and financial services industry have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of uncertainty that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.
We expect to continue to invest in our product and software development, as well as incur efforts to build customer relations and expand into additional markets. Further, we expect to invest in developing advanced manufacturing capabilities, including at our contract manufacturing partners. We expect to fund these product and business development initiatives and associated capital expenditures either through our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities or through issuance of shares of our Class A common stock to vendors and third parties for services provided under our stock in lieu of cash program (“Stock-in-lieu of Cash Program”)
In February 2024, we entered into two non-recourse loan and securities pledge agreements (the “Loan Agreements”) with The St. James Bank & Trust Company Ltd. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which we may borrow up to an aggregate of $50.0 million. Any loans made by the Lender under the Loan Agreements would be collateralized by shares of our Class A common stock or stock we hold of another company. The Loan Agreements require us to pay an up-front structure fee of 1.5% on any amounts borrowed, and any outstanding amounts would bear interest at 8.0% per annum. We did not borrow any amount from this credit facility and had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2025.
In May, 2024, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the “2024 Sales Agreement”) with Virtu Americas LLC (the “Agent”) under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our Class A common stock with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $150.0 million under our Equity Financing Program. This was an extension of the prior Equity Financing Program we established with the Agent in February 2023. In August 2024, we increased the Equity Financing Program by an additional $50.0 million pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement and in March 2025, we further increased the program by an additional $75.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from offerings under the Equity Financing Program for expenditures or payments in connection with strategic investments, partnerships and similar transactions, repurchases of outstanding debt securities, and for general corporate and business purposes.
Under the 2024 Sales Agreement, we set the parameters for the sale of the shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, limitations on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day, and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2024 Sales Agreement, the Agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell the shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made through The Nasdaq Global Select Market.
We issued 70,053 shares of Class A common stock under the Equity Financing Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 for net proceeds of $0.4 million. As of March 31, 2025, $208.6 million of Class A Common Stock was available for sale under the program.
In August 2024, we entered into private, separately negotiated agreements for (i) the private offering and sale of $100 million in aggregate principal amount of first-lien, senior secured floating rate notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”) and (ii) the exchange of approximately $421.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Senior Notes”) for approximately $274.2 million in aggregate principal amount of newly issued Convertible Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”), consisting of two series of second-lien, senior secured notes, both of which have identical terms other than the principal amount, interest rate, and applicable conversion price. We received $97.0 million net of debt discount of $3.0 million, in cash proceeds from the offering and sale of the Senior Notes, but did not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for the 2030 Convertible Notes. As a result of this transaction, we extended a significant amount of our 2026 maturities into 2030 and raised additional capital to bolster our liquidity position. We expect to incur higher annual interest expense for the Senior Notes and 2030 Convertible Notes. For additional information regarding the notes, including the financial and other restrictive covenants and contractual obligations contained in the indentures governing the notes, see Note 8 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
In March 2025, we entered into separate, individually negotiated private exchange agreements with certain holders of the Company’s 2026 Convertible Senior Notes to exchange $18.2 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for newly issued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, plus, in certain circumstances, cash in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes. The Company canceled the Exchanged Notes received in the Exchange Transactions. The Exchange Transactions settled in four consecutive daily tranches, each for $4.6 million aggregate principal amount of Exchanged Notes, commencing on March 25, 2025. As of March 28, 2025, which was the final settlement date of the Exchange Transactions, the Company had issued an aggregate of 1,951,819 shares of Class A common stock in the Exchange Transactions. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Transactions. See Note 8 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more detail.
During the three months ending March 31, 2025, $2.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes were converted by the holders. The Company issued 127,466 shares of Class A common stock to settle such conversion.
Since inception, we have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities and have incurred significant losses from operations. As of March 31, 2025, we had accumulated deficit of $2.2 billion. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for at least the foreseeable future due to continued investments in our product and software development, efforts to build customer relations, expansion into additional markets, and investments in developing advanced manufacturing capabilities, including at contract manufacturing partners.
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $59.3 million and marketable securities of $78.9 million, totaling $138.2 million of liquidity. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $44.2 million of cash was used in operations. Our principal sources of liquidity have been proceeds received from issuances of debt and equity. To execute on our strategic initiatives, we will continue to require additional capital resources. We continue to assess our liquidity position and opportunities for additional capital, which may be obtained through issuances of equity securities or additional debt financing. In the event that additional liquidity is required, we may not be able to obtain funding on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We expect to fund our operations, product and business development initiatives and associated capital expenditures through cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, issuance of shares of our Class A common stock to vendors and third parties for services provided under our stock in lieu of cash program, issuance of Class A common stock under the Equity Financing Program or the issuance of preferred stock, or any combination of the foregoing. Based on current plans and projections, we believe our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements and enable us to continue to execute our business strategy for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
Information with respect to this Item may be found under the heading “Legal Matters” in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the “Risk Factors” previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our 2024 Annual Report, other than the updates to the risk factor set forth below. You should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in our 2024 Annual Report and this Form 10-Q as they could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results of operation.
Changes to trade policy, tariffs and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition
Geopolitical tensions and conflicts worldwide, including but not limited to China, may result in changing regulatory requirements, trade policies, export controls, import duties, and economic disruptions that could impact our operating strategies in the territories or countries where we currently purchase our components, sell our products, or conduct our business, as well as our government contracts and contracts with defense customers.
The increasing focus on the strategic national security importance of advanced semiconductors, autonomous vehicles, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies may result in additional regulatory restrictions that target LiDAR specifically, and products and services capable of enabling or facilitating autonomous vehicle systems or AI systems, including some or all of our components, product, and service offerings. Such restrictions could include additional unilateral or multilateral export controls on certain products or technology, including but not limited to advanced semiconductors and AI technologies, including U.S. restrictions on export of advanced semiconductors to China, designation and restrictions on U.S. military purchases of LiDAR manufactured in China, China’s restriction on the collection and use of mapping data, which is an inhibitor to western companies developing autonomous vehicle software in China, and China’s export restrictions of certain highly specialized LiDARs intended for military use. As geopolitical tensions have increased, products associated with autonomous vehicles and AI, specifically including LiDAR, are increasingly the focus of national security and export control restrictions proposed by stakeholders in the U.S. and its allies, as well as China, and it is likely that additional unilateral or multilateral controls will be adopted. Such controls may be very broad in scope and application, prohibit us from exporting our products to any or all customers in one or more markets, including but not limited to China, and could negatively and materially impact our business, revenue, and financial results. Furthermore, disruption to worldwide semiconductor supply, including non-advanced semiconductors, has and may continue to affect production of vehicles.
The U.S. has recently instituted or proposed changes in trade policies for countries where we conduct our business. Included have been such tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from Mexico. Given Luminar’s production of products in Mexico, tariffs of this nature could have specific relevance to products we bring into the United States. The impact of such tariffs on our business and financial condition, if any, is subject to a number of factors that are not yet known and may continue to change, including the duration of such tariffs, the scope and nature of any tariffs, the amount of any tariffs, any countermeasures that the target countries may take in response to such tariffs.
Increasing use of economic sanctions or new or higher tariffs may increase prices for vehicles and adversely impact demand for such vehicles, which may negatively impact demand for our products or services, and increase prices for parts imported into the United States which could increase our costs and negatively impact our business and financial results. Additional export restrictions may not only impact our ability to serve international markets, but also provoke responses from foreign governments, including China, that negatively impact our supply chain or our ability to provide our products and services to customers in all markets worldwide, which could also adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, such changes could adversely affect the automotive market, our ability to access key components or raw materials needed to manufacture our products (including, but not limited to, rare-earth metals), our ability to sell our products to customers outside the U.S. and the demand for our products. It may be time-consuming and expensive for us to alter our business operations to adapt to or comply with any such changes, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If we do not successfully manage the transition associated with the resignation of our former chief executive officer and the appointment of our new chief executive officer, it could have an adverse impact on our business.
As previously disclosed, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer resigned effective May 14, 2025, and the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Paul Ricci, as Chief Executive Officer effective on or about May 21, 2025. Our new Chief Executive Officer will be critical to executing on our business strategy. Our success will depend, in part, on the effectiveness of this transition, including the successful integration into his role and the continuity of leadership with industry
partners and among the larger workforce. If we do not successfully manage this transition, it could be viewed negatively by our customers, employees, investors, and other third-party partners and could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, or our stock price. In addition, if this transition is not successful, we may not be able to achieve our financial and operational goals, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On March 21 and 23, 2025, the Company entered into Exchange Agreements with certain holders of its outstanding 2026 Convertible Senior Notes to exchange $18.2 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for newly issued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, plus, in certain circumstances, cash in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes. The Exchange Transactions settled in four consecutive daily tranches, commencing on March 25, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Exchange Transactions were conducted pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
As of March 28, 2025, which was the final settlement date of the Exchange Transactions, the Company had issued an aggregate of 1,951,819 shares of Class A common stock in the Exchange Transactions.
ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. Other Information.
Our Section 16 officers and directors (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) may from time to time enter into plans for the purchase or sale of the Company’s stock that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as those terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
We are reporting the following information in lieu of reporting on a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 2.05 – Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On May 15, 2025, Luminar Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) began executing additional restructuring efforts (“2025 Restructuring Plan”), including a reduction in its workforce. The actions associated with the 2025 Restructuring Plan commenced immediately and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $4.0 million to $5.0 million in cash charges in connection with the 2025 Restructuring Plan, associated with employee severance and related employee costs, as well as additional non-cash charges related to acceleration of certain previously granted stock-based awards as part of severance packages for employees impacted under the 2025 Restructuring Plan. These charges are expected to be incurred primarily in the second and third quarters of 2025. The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the 2025 Restructuring Plan.
