Insights

Equity analyst

Q3 shows year-over-year and sequential revenue growth, non-GAAP profitability, and guidance that keeps revenue stable into Q4.

Revenue reached $206 million with segment strength in Industrial & Commercial at $118 million (up 22% YoY) and Home & Life at $88 million (up 26% YoY). The company reported a GAAP operating loss of $12 million and GAAP diluted loss per share of $(0.30), while non-GAAP results show operating income of $11 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.32, indicating the business produced positive operating cash-performance on an adjusted basis.

Risks and dependencies include the divergence between GAAP and non-GAAP profitability and execution against customer ramps. The company guided Q4 revenue to $200–$215 million with non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.40–$0.70 and GAAP diluted EPS of $(0.22) to $0.08, so delivered results and upcoming quarterly execution will determine whether adjusted profitability sustains. Monitor the Q4 bookings/shipments cadence, margin realization versus the guided 62%–64%, and progress on the GlobalFoundries partnership and the Simplicity Platform for adoption signals over the next several quarters.
