The automotive industry is rapidly changing due to the ongoing technology shift, disruption from new entrants, and accelerated innovation pace. This is also causing a changing purchasing behavior from OEMs. Design wins in the automotive industry are not a guarantee of future revenue, and sales may not correlate with design win values. Mid-life redesigns and decisions to re-source components can change the projected timeline of a design, or models may be canceled entirely. Pricing estimates are made at the time of a request for quotation by an OEM. Changing market or other conditions between the time of a request for quotation and the actual order may require a lower average selling price than initially expected. In combination with inherently long lead times in the industry, forward-looking projections of lifetime value, volumes, and average selling price may give rise to undue reliance and overconfidence in the earnings potential and value of each deal. As a result, Tobii does not believe it is possible to, with a sufficiently high degree of certainty, provide guidance on the revenue or potential future opportunities with manufacturers.
