Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with concerning trends. Revenue declined 26.7% year-over-year to $12.1 million, while MRAM product sales dropped 23% to $10.4 million. The gross margin deteriorated significantly to 49.2% from 60.2% last year.

Despite revenue challenges, cost management helped maintain profitability with GAAP net income of $2.3 million ($0.10 per share). The Q4 guidance of $12-13 million revenue suggests continued softness but stable sequential performance. The focus on new design wins for PERSYST xSPI STT-MRAM products indicates potential growth catalysts for 2025, though near-term headwinds persist.

Market Research Analyst

The semiconductor market downturn is clearly impacting MRAM's performance, with both core product sales and licensing revenue showing significant declines. However, the company's ability to maintain profitability and positive Adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million demonstrates operational resilience. The new contract wins and ongoing customer engagements suggest market demand remains intact, though conversion to revenue faces macro headwinds.

The conservative Q4 guidance and multiple risk factors cited, including supply chain constraints and geopolitical issues, warrant cautious optimism. The company's strong balance sheet provides stability during this cyclical downturn.

“We are pleased to report third quarter revenue in-line with our guidance and GAAP net income per diluted share ahead of our guidance, driven by our new contract wins, and our cost containment efforts,” said Sanjeev Aggarwal, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We had new contracts during the quarter, showcasing the strength of our business and the extensive range of our product portfolio.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter 2024, Everspin expects total revenue in a range of $12 million to $13 million and GAAP net income per diluted share to be between $0.00 and $0.05.

This outlook is dependent on Everspin's current expectations, which may be impacted by, among other things, evolving external conditions, such as pandemics or endemics, local safety guidelines, worsening impacts due to supply chain constraints or interruptions, including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, instability in the Middle East, recent market volatility, semiconductor downturn 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, 2023, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC during 2024, as well as in its subsequent filings with the SEC.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Everspin supplements the reporting of its 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. Everspin defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring costs (if any).

Everspin’s management and board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA to understand and evaluate its operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve its annual budget and to develop short-term and long-term operating and financing plans. Accordingly, Everspin believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information for investors in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and 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 reported in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently, which limits the usefulness of this measure for comparisons with such other companies. Everspin encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
