Luminar Undergoes Another Round of Layoffs

Luminar, the lidar company founded by recently replaced CEO Austin Russell, is facing yet another restructuring, as indicated in a recent regulatory filing. This latest round of layoffs comes on the heels of extensive workforce reductions in 2024, where the company slashed about 30% of its employees, totaling 212 layoffs. The cost of these layoffs was estimated to be between $4 million to $6 million in additional cash charges.

According to the latest regulatory filing, Luminar initiated a new wave of layoffs on May 15, with expected cash charges of $4 million to $5 million. These costs are anticipated to be incurred in the second and third quarters of this year.

The recent layoffs add to the challenges faced by Luminar, following the replacement of CEO Austin Russell and board chair by Paul Ricci. Russell’s resignation was attributed to an ethics inquiry, prompting the board to appoint Ricci, the former chairman and CEO of Nuance, to the role. Shortly after the leadership change, board member Jun Hong Heng also resigned, citing no disagreements with the company’s operations, policies, or practices.

Despite these developments, Luminar has remained tight-lipped, declining to provide any comments on the situation. Austin Russell, who became a billionaire after Luminar’s successful public listing in 2021, has played a significant role in the company’s growth, with a post-deal market valuation of $3.4 billion following a merger with Gores Metropoulos Inc. and raising $250 million prior to the SPAC announcement.
