QuickLogic Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

  

 

SAN JOSE, Calif. – February 25, 2025 - 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 fourth quarter and fiscal year that ended December 29, 2024.

 

Recent Highlights

 

 

Awarded $1.1 million eFPGA Hard IP contract with new defense industrial base customer last week

 

Announced $6.6 million fourth tranche of the Strategic Radiation Hardened FPGA Technology US Government contract

 

On track to complete the first eFPGA Hard IP core optimized for Intel 18A during Q1
  Announced the integration of the Synopsys Synplify® synthesis tool into Aurora 2.9 Pro FPGA User Tools
  Strengthened sales team with the appointment of former FlexLogix VP Andy Jaros to VP of IP Sales
  Signed distribution agreement with Magenta to expand distribution network to Turkiye and UAE
  Announced strategic process for SensiML

 

“With the continued execution on the Strategic Radiation Hardened FPGA contract with the US government, an influx of opportunities after a key competitor exited the market and being the first, and at this time, only company to offer eFPGA Hard IP for Intel 18A, we believe we are well positioned to return to sound revenue growth in 2025,” said Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. "We believe this growth, combined with our ability to leverage the eFPGA Hard IP we have established for six unique fabrication processes and the Hard IP Cores in our library that are being reused; we believe we are very well positioned to achieve non-GAAP profitability and positive cash flow for full-year 2025."

 

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $5.7 million, a decrease of 23.7% compared with the fourth quarter of 2023 and an increase of 33.5% compared with the third quarter of 2024.

 

New product revenue was approximately $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 31.8%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2023 and an increase of $1.1 million, or 31.7%, compared with the third quarter of 2024. The decreases in total revenue and new product revenue from the same period a year ago were mostly due to the timing of awards for certain large eFPGA IP contracts.

 

Mature product revenue was $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This compares to $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2024.

 

Fourth quarter 2024 GAAP gross margin was 59.8% compared with 77.1% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 55.8% in the third quarter of 2024.

 

Fourth quarter 2024 non-GAAP gross margin was 62.0% compared with 78.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 60.0% in the third quarter of 2024.

 

Fourth quarter 2024 GAAP operating expenses were $3.6 million compared with $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2024.

 

Fourth quarter 2024 non-GAAP operating expenses were $2.9 million compared with $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2024.

 

Fourth quarter 2024 GAAP net loss was ($0.3 million), or ($0.02) per share, compared with net income of $2.0 million, or $0.15 per basic share or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023, and a net loss of ($2.1 million), or ($0.14) per share, in the third quarter of 2024.

 

Fourth quarter 2024 non-GAAP net income was $0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with net income of $2.6 million, or $0.19 per basic share or $0.18 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a net loss of ($0.9 million), or ($0.06) per share, in the third quarter of 2024.

About QuickLogic

 

QuickLogic is a fabless semiconductor company that develops innovative embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, discrete FPGAs, and FPGA SoCs for a variety of industrial, aerospace and defense, edge and endpoint AI, consumer, and computing applications. Our wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corporation, completes the end-to-end solution portfolio with AI / ML software that accelerates AI at the edge/endpoint. For more information, visit www.quicklogic.com.

 

QuickLogic uses its website (www.quicklogic.com), the company blog (https://www.quicklogic.com/blog/), corporate Twitter account (@QuickLogic_Corp), Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/QuickLogic), and LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/company/13512/) as channels of distribution of information about its products, its planned financial and other announcements, its attendance at upcoming investor and industry conferences, and other matters. Such information may be deemed material information, and QuickLogic may use these channels to comply with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Therefore, investors should monitor the Company’s website and its social media accounts in addition to following the Company’s press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, and webcasts.

 

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.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our future profitability and cash flows, expectations regarding our future business and statements regarding the timing, milestones, and payments related to our government contracts, and statements regarding our ability to successfully exit SensiML, and actual results may differ due to a variety of factors including: delays in the market acceptance of the Company’s new products; the ability to convert design opportunities into customer revenue; our ability to replace revenue from end-of-life products; the level and timing of customer design activity; the market acceptance of our customers’ products; the risk that new orders may not result in future revenue; our ability to introduce and produce new products based on advanced wafer technology on a timely basis; our ability to adequately market the low power, competitive pricing and short time-to-market of our new products; intense competition by competitors; our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel; changes in product demand or supply; general economic conditions; political events, international trade disputes, natural disasters and other business interruptions that could disrupt supply or delivery of, or demand for, the Company’s products; and changes in tax rates and exposure to additional tax liabilities.
