Dive deeper

3/ High Gross Margins

'25 est. - $501M revenue

• 30% margin EBITDA (that's impressive!)

- it's so high because they do B2B transactions
.. low acquisition costs
.. repeat customers
.. large orders

Threat of entry is low; helping them lock-in lifelong customers.

4/ Comparables

indie is a very unique company because they don't have a true comparable thanks to their array of products

LiDar: Two similar previous SPACs
- $VLDR ($22.60)
- $LAZR ($32.63)

IMO, indie offers more and post merger will skyrocket past both of them.

5/ Management

• Very experienced + diverse w/ global connections

• Many have worked together for 20+ yrs

- Team at $THBR also brought $RPAY public via a SPAC (up 140% since merger)

Notable:
- Donald McClymont (CEO) named Top 100 intriguing entrepreneur by Goldman Sachs

6/ Silicon and Software

- indie's semiconductors and software are claimed to be unmatched

Today vehicles have around $310 in silicon content per vehicle.

In the future, that total could rise to more than $4,000.

- High growth market for this tech
(from $12B to $38B)

7/ Financials

Already have $2B in backlog orders with

...28 contracts across a diverse portfolio

- expect to be profitable by 2023

- 85% 5 year CAGR

- strong pipeline of potential orders

- global company w/ global customers

- Conservative estimates of EV/AD growth

8/ Magna Deal

$INDI has a strong relationship with Magna

And Magna is the company producing the Ocean Electric SUV for Fisker

- so if you're a fan of $FSR and Henrik Fisker...

Then, you'll be happy to know indie's technology is being used in the car

Final Thoughts + Plan

- I'm bullish on $THBR (post merger $INDI)

- First position at $11.95

- I like how they have a diverse product offering and large backlog of orders

Undoubtedly the future of automobiles..
question is "how long will it take"?

The chart is looking good for $THBR

Seems to be following typical SPAC movements and should continue to run-up higher through merger
