Insights

Financial Analyst

SiTime's Q3 2024 shows mixed results with significant revenue growth but continued GAAP losses. Revenue reached $57.7 million, marking a strong 32% sequential increase and 62% year-over-year growth. However, the company posted a GAAP net loss of $19.3 million ($0.83 per share).

The non-GAAP figures paint a more positive picture, with $9.6 million in net income ($0.40 per share) and healthy gross margins of 58.1%. The company maintains a strong liquidity position with $434.8 million in cash and short-term investments, despite a $12.9 million payment for the Aura transaction.

The double-digit growth across all market segments and focus on high-value applications suggests improving market positioning, though the gap between GAAP and non-GAAP results warrants attention, primarily due to significant stock-based compensation and operational expenses.

In the third quarter of 2024, GAAP gross profit was $29.5 million, or 51.1% of revenue, GAAP operating expenses were $54.3 million, GAAP loss from operations was $24.9 million, and GAAP net loss was $19.3 million, or $0.83 per diluted share.
