Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $18.2 million, an increase of 23% from the $14.8 million reported in the third quarter of 2021. This is an increase of 82% compared to $10.0 million of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020.

MRAM product sales in the fourth quarter of 2021, which includes both Toggle and STT-MRAM revenue, was $12.6 million compared to $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, the company entered into an intellectual property (“IP”) monetization deal with a total contract value of $5.25 million. $3.95 million in revenue from this IP monetization deal was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $1.30 million in revenue was recognized in the third quarter of 2021. Licensing, Royalties, Patents and Other revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $5.6 million compared to $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in total revenue is due to strong Toggle sales, revenue recognition from a U.S. Government RAD-Hard program entered into earlier this year and the IP monetization deal noted above.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 62.8%, compared to 57.1% in the prior quarter and 52.3% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

GAAP operating expenses increased to $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. GAAP operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 included $753k of stock-based compensation, compared to $1.03 million in the prior quarter and $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $3.7 million, or $0.19 per share, based on 19.4 million weighted-average basic common shares outstanding. This compares to a net income of $880k, or $0.05 per basic share, in the third quarter of 2021 and a net loss of $1.6 million, or ($0.08) per basic share, in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 were $21.4 million, compared to $14.6 million as of the end of both the prior quarter and the prior year.

Business Outlook

For the first quarter 2022, Everspin expects total revenue in a range of $13.4 million to $14.2 million. Everspin expects industry supply constraints to limit supply and push some unfulfilled customer demand to Q2’22. Everspin expects GAAP net income (loss) per basic share to be between ($0.03) and breakeven, primarily driven by expenses related to next generation 28nm STT MRAM product development and price increases from our suppliers.

This outlook is dependent on Everspin's current expectations, which may be impacted by, among other things, evolving external conditions, such as the resurgence of COVID-19 and its variants, local safety guidelines, worsening impacts due to supply chain constraints or interruptions, and the other risk factors described in Everspin's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC during 2021, as well as in its subsequent filings with the SEC.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) with Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring costs if any.

Our management and board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short-term and long-term operating and financing plans. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information for investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and our board of directors. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as superior to, or as a substitute for, net income (loss) reported in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
