In its ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Ambarella reported fiscal year 2024 financial highlights and trends. The company recorded revenue of $226.5 million in fiscal year 2024, reflecting a decrease of 32.9% compared to fiscal year 2023. This decrease was primarily attributed to lower product unit shipments resulting from customer inventory level reduction efforts. The loss from operations in fiscal year 2024 was $154.6 million, compared to a loss from operations of $74.3 million in fiscal year 2023. The increased loss from operations was primarily due to a decrease in revenue and gross profit, as well as an increase in operating expenses. Ambarella generated cash flows from operating activities of $19.0 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to $44.1 million in fiscal year 2023. The lower cash flows from operating activities were primarily attributable to higher net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, partially offset by increased working capital as a result of better management on accounts receivable and liabilities, and decreased inventory purchase due to lower demand from customers.
The report also highlighted several factors affecting Ambarella's performance. These include the impact of global supply chain conditions on its business, the ability to capitalize on AI and computer vision trends, the ability to develop and introduce new or enhanced solutions, pricing, product cost and margin, and the continued concentration of revenue by end market. Additionally, the company emphasized the importance of sales volume, customer product life cycle, and its ability to accurately forecast demand.
