Overview

We are a pioneer in the successful commercialization of Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) technology. Our portfolio of MRAM technologies, including Toggle MRAM, Tunnel Magneto Resistance (TMR) Sensors, and Spin-transfer Torque MRAM (STT-MRAM), is delivering superior performance, persistence and reliability in non-volatile memories that transform how mission-critical data is protected against power loss. With almost 20 years of MRAM technology and manufacturing leadership, our memory solutions deliver significant value to our customers in key markets such as industrial, medical, automotive/transportation, aerospace and defense, and data center. We are the leading supplier of discrete MRAM components and a successful licensor of our broad portfolio of related technology and intellectual property.

We sell our products directly and through our established distribution channels to industry-leading original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers.

We manufacture our MRAM products using both captive and third-party manufacturing capabilities. We purchase industry-standard complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) wafers from semiconductor foundries and perform back end of line (BEOL) processing that includes our magnetic-bit technology at our leased 200mm fabrication facility in Chandler, Arizona. We also manufacture full-flow 300mm CMOS wafers with our STT-MRAM magnetic-bit technology integrated in BEOL as part of our strategic relationship with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc.

Key Metrics

We monitor a variety of key financial metrics to help us evaluate trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our business strategies, and assess operational efficiencies. These financial metrics include revenue, gross margin, operating expenses and operating income determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, we monitor and project cash flow to determine our sources and uses for working capital to fund our operations. We also monitor adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, and design wins. We define adjusted net income as net income adjusted for stock-based compensation expense.

Adjusted net income. Our management and board of directors use adjusted net income to assess and evaluate our overall performance and financial trends, inform the annual budgeting process, and guide both short-term and long-term operational and strategic planning. As such, we believe adjusted net income provides meaningful insight for investors into our financial performance, consistent with how our management team and board of directors view and analyze our results. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered alongside, but not as a replacement for or superior to, net income as reported in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net income for the periods presented:

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

Revenue

We generated 90% and 60% of our revenue from products sold through distributors for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

We maintain a direct selling relationship, for strategic purposes, with several key customer accounts. We have organized our sales team and representatives into three primary regions: Asia-Pacific (APAC); North America; and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). We recognize revenue by geography based on the region in which our products are sold, and not where the end products in which they are assembled are shipped. Our revenue by region for the periods indicated was as follows (in thousands):

(Dollars in thousands)

Total revenue increased by $1.7 million, or 13.2%, from $13.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $14.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was due to an increase in product sales of $3.1 million or 27.9%, and partially offset by a decrease in licensing, royalty, patent, engineering services and other revenue of $1.3 million.

Licensing, royalty, patent, engineering services and other revenue is a highly variable revenue item characterized by a small number of transactions annually with revenue based on size and terms of each transaction. We estimate royalty revenue earned throughout the year, with an annual adjustment recognized for actual sales in the first quarter of each fiscal year. Licensing, royalty, patent, engineering services and other revenue decreased by $1.3 million, or 63.4% from $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to the conclusion of an agreement for the development of an AI technology application.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Cost of product sales increased by $0.9 million, or 15.4%, from $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $7.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Cost of product sales relate primarily to costs of our Toggle and STT products and have increased consistently and proportionately with the increase in revenues.

Cost of licensing, royalty, patent, engineering services and other revenue decreased by $0.3 million, or 79.2%, from $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in licensing costs related to labor and materials associated with the development of an AI technology application.

Gross margin increased from 51.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 52.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Gross margin increased as a result of the different revenue mix and yield improvements.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses. Personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, are among the most significant component of each of our operating expense categories.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026, that have had a material impact on our condensed financial statements and related notes.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent limitation on the effectiveness of internal control.

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

In addition to information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 which set forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. You should review and consider such Risk Factors in making any investment decision with respect to our securities.
