GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Transphorm, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGAN)—an innovative design pioneer and global supplier of efficient, high-reliability, high-performance gallium nitride (GaN) power conversion products, announced today financial results for the Company’s 2022 fiscal fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Recent Highlights

• Achieved up listing of Transphorm’s common stock to the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol TGAN.
• Full year FY22 revenue increased 89% year-over-year to a record $24.1 million due to strong growth in product revenue based on prior targeted investments in designs for a broader market.
• FY22 product revenue increased sequentially for the ninth consecutive quarter to a record of over $4 million, a 190% sequential increase when compared to Q4 FY21.
• Secured largest SuperGaN® high-power Gen IV FET production order for the Company to date for over 500,000 units of 3kW class power supplies. The magnitude of this order clearly demonstrates Transphorm’s continuing leadership in design innovation and manufacturing reliability of high-power GaN.
• Secured laptop adapter design-win from a Tier 1 Fortune 100 company, including an initial purchase order of 50,000 units of SuperGaN® Gen IV 240 mohm class FETs. These FETs provide higher efficiency for 65W fast-charging adapter applications versus competing e-mode GaN FETs that require a larger 150 mohm device for similar applications. As a result, these Transphorm SuperGaN® FETs allow our customers to do more with less.
• Secured pre-production POs from ODMs for large Asia mobile phone (65W) and leading WW e-retailer (140W) projects
• Announced the first 99% efficient power switching demonstration from a 1200V GaN power transistor prototype, demonstrating Transphorm’s cutting-edge innovation in high-power GaN.
• Cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2022 were $34.0 million.

Primit Parikh, Transphorm’s President and Co-founder, commented, “We are excited to continue to deliver strong revenue growth, having achieved our 9^th consecutive quarter of record product revenue. We also reaffirmed our leadership in high-power GaN by securing our largest order to date for over a half-million 3kW class GaN products.

Dr. Parikh continued, “The demand for our GaN solutions is strong, driven by our products’ unique, easy to interface architecture, world leading GaN product portfolio with a broad range of power capabilities from 45W to 5kW, and leading performance with field reliability. With a strong backlog in place, our current focus is on managing supply chain constraints, expanding our manufacturing capacity, and continuing to grow our ecosystem of solution partners”.

Cameron McAulay, CFO of Transphorm, stated “During the 2022 fiscal year we completed an uplisting to the NASDAQ, dramatically improving the Company’s liquidity. Along with the additional capital we raised in fiscal Q3 of 2022, this provides expanded operational flexibility in support of our future anticipated growth.”
