Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Ambarella, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 15, 2004. The Company is a leading developer of low-power semiconductor solutions offering high-definition (HD) and Ultra HD compression, image processing, and powerful deep neural network processing. The Company combines its processor design capabilities with its expertise in video and image processing, algorithms and software to provide a technology platform that is designed to be easily scalable across multiple applications and enable rapid and efficient product development. The Company’s system-on-a-chip, or SoC, designs fully integrate high-definition video processing, image processing, artificial intelligence (AI) computer vision algorithms, audio processing and system functions onto a single chip. These low power SoCs deliver exceptional video and image quality and can extract valuable data from high-resolution video and radar streams. The Company is currently addressing a broad range of human and computer vision applications, including video security, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), electronic mirrors, drive recorders, driver/cabin monitoring systems, autonomous driving, and industrial and robotic applications. The Company sells its solutions to leading original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, who include the Company’s SoCs in their products, and original design manufacturers, or ODMs, who include the Company’s SoCs in the products that they supply to OEMs, globally. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, therefore, do not include all information and notes normally provided in audited financial statements. The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2023 fiscal year filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 (the Form 10-K) and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Form 10-K. Basis of Consolidation The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. Concentration of Risk The Company’s products are manufactured, assembled and tested by third-party contractors located primarily in Asia. The Company does not have long-term agreements with these contractors. A significant disruption in the operations of one or more of these contractors would impact the production of the Company’s products which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. A substantial portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from sales through its two major distributors, WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd., formerly Wintech Microelectronics Co., Ltd., or WT, which serves as its non-exclusive sales representative in Asia other than Japan, and Hakuto Co., Ltd., or Hakuto, a Japan distributor, and directly to one ODM customer, Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd., or Chicony, and directly to one OEM customer, Motorola Solutions Inc., or Motorola. Termination of the relationships with these customers could result in a temporary or permanent loss of revenue. Furthermore, any credit issues from these customers could impair their abilities to make timely payment to the Company. See Note 14 for additional information regarding revenue and credit concentration with these customers. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable debt securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash primarily in checking accounts with reputable financial institutions. Cash deposits held with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits of its cash. In order to limit the exposure of each investment, the cash equivalents and marketable debt securities consist primarily of money market funds, commercial paper, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and U.S. government securities which management assesses to be highly liquid. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and customers’ credit worthiness. The Company regularly monitors collections and payments from its customers. Restricted Cash Amounts included in restricted cash represent those required to be set aside to secure certain transactions in a foreign entity. As of April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, restricted cash was immaterial, respectively. The following table presents cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the totals are presented on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
