Insights

QuickLogic's Q3 2024 results show concerning trends with revenue declining 35.9% year-over-year to $4.3 million. The significant drop in new product revenue (42% YoY) signals challenges in the timing of eFPGA IP contract deliverables. While gross margins remain healthy at 55.8%, the shift from a profit of $1.2 million last year to a loss of $2.1 million this quarter is noteworthy.

The increased operating expenses and wider losses, despite stable non-GAAP operating costs, suggest growing pressure on profitability. However, the company's strategic focus on expanding eFPGA IP across multiple fabrication processes, including Intel 18A, could create future growth opportunities. The sequential revenue growth of 3.5% and improved gross margins from Q2 provide some optimism, but sustained execution will be important for recovery.

The expansion of QuickLogic's eFPGA IP portfolio across six fabrication processes, including cutting-edge nodes like Intel 18A and TSMC N12e, positions the company strategically in the semiconductor IP market. The rapid three-month delivery for the TSMC N12e process demonstrates improving operational efficiency through their Australis eFPGA Hard IP Generator.

The partnership with Synopsys for FPGA Logic Synthesis integration and SensiML's expansion into RISC-V architecture shows commitment to ecosystem development. These technical achievements could translate into commercial opportunities, particularly in the growing defense and edge AI markets, though current financial results suggest a lag between technical progress and revenue realization.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) ("QuickLogic" or the "Company"), a developer of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, ruggedized FPGAs and Endpoint AI solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal third quarter that ended September 29, 2024.

Recent Highlights

  • Third quarter results in line with recent guidance
  • Continued to execute on third tranche of the Strategic Radiation Hardened FPGA Technology US Government contract
  • Delivered eFPGA IP for GlobalFoundries' 12LP process to large defense industrial base customer
  • Delivered eFPGA IP for TSMC's N12e 12nm process to a large multi-national customer in a record time of three months
  • Continued development of an eFPGA Hard IP core, believed to be the first for Intel 18A process and on track for initial delivery by year-end 2024
  • SensiML partnered with eFabless to drive open-source Edge AI innovation
  • SensiML expanded platform support to include RISC-V architecture
  • Executed an agreement with Synopsys to include Synopsys Synplify® FPGA Logic Synthesis in the Aurora FPGA User Tool Suite

"We are on schedule to close 2024 with eFPGA Hard IP delivered for a total of six fabrication processes," said Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. "With these completed, we are in a position to capitalize on the growing number of inquiries we are seeing, and complete IP license deliverables for these fabrication processes quickly and with notably lower expenses thanks to our Australis eFPGA Hard IP Generator."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

QuickLogic reports financial information in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, but believes that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in evaluating its operating results and comparing its performance to comparable companies. Accordingly, the Company excludes certain charges related to stock-based compensation, in calculating non-GAAP (i) income (loss) from operations, (ii) net income (loss), (iii) net income (loss) per share, and (iv) gross margin percentage. The Company provides this non-GAAP information to enable investors to evaluate its operating results in a manner like how the Company analyzes its operating results and to provide consistency and comparability with similar companies in the Company's industry.

Management uses the non-GAAP measures, which exclude gains, losses, and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results, internally to evaluate its operating performance against results in prior periods and its operating plans and forecasts. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are used to plan for the Company's future periods and serve as a basis for the allocation of the Company's resources, management of operations and the measurement of profit-dependent cash, and equity compensation paid to employees and executive officers.

Investors should note, however, that the non-GAAP financial measures used by QuickLogic may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures and may not be calculated in the same manner as that of other companies. QuickLogic does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures alone or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the financial statements portion of this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
