“We took decisive steps this quarter to deliver on our customer commitments, advance Halo as the foundation of our future, and sharpen our focus on near-term revenue and profit opportunities beyond automotive in commercial markets,” said Paul Ricci, CEO of Luminar.

“We’re also streamlining our business, exiting non-core areas, and focusing intensely on key operational milestones. We believe these actions set the stage for a stronger, leaner Luminar better positioned to deliver sustainable growth and long-term value,” Ricci added.
