Insights
Revenue Growth and Operating Losses: A key takeaway from the financial results is the 7% year-over-year revenue growth, which reflects a positive trend in sales performance. However, the operating loss of $35.1 million for the full year and the net loss figures indicate that the company is still in a phase where it is spending more than it is earning. The non-GAAP operating loss improvement from $16.2 million to $19.8 million year-over-year is relatively small, suggesting that cost control measures may not be significantly impacting the bottom line yet.
Annual Contract Value (ACV) and Royalties: The reported increase in ACV and trailing twelve months variable royalties by 7% is notable, as it signifies a steady demand for Arteris' products and a potentially growing customer base. The 65% year-over-year increase in variable royalties and other revenue is particularly impressive and could indicate a successful strategy in monetizing their IP portfolio. However, the importance of this growth should be weighed against the overall financial health of the company.
Guidance for 2024: The provided guidance for the first quarter and full year of 2024 suggests cautious optimism. The forecasted ACV and TTM royalties for 2024 show an expected increase, which may indicate confidence in the company's growth trajectory. However, investors should consider the projected non-GAAP operating loss percentage and free cash flow percentages as they reflect ongoing challenges in achieving profitability and positive cash flow.
Industry Trends and Customer Growth: The addition of 23 net new Active Customers, including major electronics companies and the highest level of quarterly design activity, are strong indicators of Arteris' competitive positioning within the system IP market. The adoption of their solutions for Generative AI and advanced mobility applications aligns with current industry trends towards more complex SoC designs, which require sophisticated interconnect technologies like those provided by Arteris.
Product Innovation and Certifications: The partnerships and licensing deals with companies in AI/ML and high-performance computing, as well as the achievement of ISO 26262 up to ASIL D certification, are strategically important. They not only expand the company's market reach but also enhance its reputation for quality and reliability. These developments could lead to increased demand for Arteris' interconnect IP and may contribute to future revenue growth.
Product Portfolio and Technological Advancements: Arteris' focus on expanding its product portfolio with the FlexNoC 5 interconnect and Ncore cache coherent interconnect IP is a strategic move to capitalize on the growing demand for high-performance, low-power computing solutions. The mention of Generative AI and Edge AI computing indicates that Arteris is targeting emerging technology sectors that are expected to grow significantly. The ISO 9001:2015 certification for Quality Management Systems underscores the company's commitment to high-quality product development, which is crucial for customer trust and long-term success in the technology sector.
Functional Safety in Automotive Technology: Achieving the most stringent level of functional safety certification (ISO 26262 up to ASIL D) for their Ncore interconnect IP is a major milestone for Arteris. This certification is essential for automotive technology providers and could open up additional market opportunities in the automotive sector, where safety and reliability are paramount.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core performance. These non-GAAP measures, which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define "Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin" as GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue. We define “Non-GAAP Loss from Operations” as our income (loss) from operations adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We define “Non-GAAP Net Loss” as our net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and gain on extinguishment of debt.
We define “Non-GAAP EPS”, as our Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) divided by our GAAP weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period on a diluted basis. Management uses Non-GAAP EPS to evaluate the performance of our business on a comparable basis from period to period.
The above items are excluded from our Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) because these items are non-cash in nature, or are not indicative of our core operating performance, and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) provide useful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.
We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors, even if negative, about the amount of cash used in our operations other than that used for investments in property and equipment.
Other Business Metrics
Active Customers – we define Active Customers as customers who have entered into a license agreement with us that remains in effect. The retention and expansion of our relationships with existing customers are key indicators of our revenue potential.
Annual Contract Value (ACV) – we define Annual Contract Value for an individual customer agreement as the total fixed fees under the agreement divided by the number of years in the agreement term. Our total ACV is the aggregate ACVs for all our customers as measured at a given point in time. Total fixed fees includes licensing, support and maintenance and other fixed fees under IP licensing or software licensing agreements but excludes variable revenue derived from licensing agreements with customers, particularly royalties.
Confirmed Design Starts – we define Confirmed Design Starts as when customers confirm their commencement of new semiconductor designs using our interconnect IP and notify us. Confirmed Design Starts is a metric management uses to assess the activity level of our customers in terms of the number of new semiconductor designs that are started using our interconnect IP in a given period. We believe that the number of Confirmed Design Starts is an important indicator of the growth of our business and future royalty revenue trends.
Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) – we define Remaining Performance Obligations as the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including deferred revenue, billed and unbilled cancelable and non-cancelable contracted amounts.
