Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

Thank you, Monica, and thanks everyone for joining us on the call today. Turning to our second quarter results, we are pleased to report our second quarter results with revenue of $13,200,000 and non GAAP earnings per share of $03 with revenue toward the high end of our guidance range. Our performance this quarter was driven by strength across all products, specifically in data center, industrial automation, and low earth orbital or LEO applications. We saw high single digit sequential growth in the data center business. This growth was driven by strong demand on the redundant array of independent disks or RAID from a broad selection of data center customers, including Dell, Supermicro, and others.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

We saw good momentum from our customers who build industrial automation equipment, like programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, with sequential growth in excess of 20% from the first quarter. Everspin has a significant historical business year and we are seeing momentum from current customers and recent design wins with our industrial XPy product. We saw good traction in the space and aerospace segments that continue to value the benefits of MRAM as a reliable, persistent, non volatile memory for LEO deployments. During the second quarter, we reached a steady state of revenue from the sale of a persist one gigabit STT MRAM into IBM's FlashCore Module four (or FCM4) for data center applications and continue to anticipate product revenue from this ongoing project to remain consistent for the remainder of the year. We continue to ship and recognize revenue for our Persist MRAM solution from Lucid Motors for their gravity SUV and expect volumes to increase as the automaker ramps production.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

We shipped engineering samples for the two new products we announced last quarter as part of our X Spy family, the Persist EM064LXHR and EM128LXHR. These parts feature an expanded temperature range to address the growing demand for persistent high speed memory in aerospace, defense, and extreme industrial environments and provide designers with a robust, fast, and scalable alternative to static RAM or NOR Flash. We remain on track to ramp to full production in late twenty twenty five. Turning to our licensing, royalty, patent, and other revenue. We completed the first phase of the front grade project successfully meeting all our deliverables in Q2.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

During this phase, we recognized revenue related to delivering the process design kit or PDK. This contract allows for the award of future optional phases based upon successful performance of all parties contributing to this phase and at the discretion of the US government. As a reminder, the goal of the project is to enable production of embedded radiation hard STT MRAM macros for use in aerospace applications. We saw a sequential uptick in revenue from our contract with QuickLogic for our innovative Agilist MRAM technology in the second quarter. As a team, we continue to advance the development and demonstration of strategic radiation hardened, high reliability FPGA technology.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

At the end of this phase, we will have validated the design on silicon. Our contract with Purdue University to provide our state of the art STT MRAM technology to support energy efficient AI solutions has reached a steady state. We are making good progress to develop low power magnetic tunnel junction or MTJ devices and continue to share these results with Purdue University. Lastly, we continue to recognize revenue from our ongoing project with a leading provider of sensor devices to provide foundry services for their latest generation TMR sensor device on our MRAM line in our Chandler facility. With respect to below the line items, we recognized 800,000.0 in other income in the second quarter and $7,400,000 to date from the $14,600,000 contract we have with the DoD contractor to develop a sustainment plan for our MRAM manufacturing facilities to provide continuous onshore MRAM capabilities to their aerospace and defense customers.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

We expect this business to pick up meaningfully in the fourth quarter. In order to ensure that we meet the future demand for our products, we are expanding our executive team with the addition of a dedicated VP of Sales, Sean Dougherty, who joined us recently from Intel. With Sean's addition, David Schrenk, who has been our VP of Sales and Business Development for the last three years, will be able to focus his efforts exclusively on business development. Our outlook for 2025 remains consistent. We continue to expect the year to be weighted more heavily towards the 2025 due to our typical seasonality and do not expect a direct material impact from our tariffs on our results.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

I will now turn it over to our CFO, Bill Cooper, who will walk you through our second quarter financials and third quarter twenty twenty five guidance. Bill?

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

Thank you, Sanjeev. Our results reflect the consistency of our execution. During the second quarter, we delivered revenue of $13,200,000 at the high end of our guidance range of $12,500,000 to $13,500,000 driven by strength across all of our products. MRAM product sales in the second quarter, which include both Toggle and STT MRAM revenue, was $11,100,000 compared to $9,900,000 in Q2 'twenty four, up slightly from product sales of $11,000,000 in the first quarter. Licensing, royalty, patent, and other revenue in the second quarter increased to 2,100,000 compared to $700,000 in '4.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

This increase was driven by the ramp in our contract with Purdue. Turning to gross margin. Our GAAP gross margin was 51.3% for the second quarter, down slightly from 51.4 in the first quarter and up from 49% in Q2 'twenty four. The increase relative to the same period last year was due to a larger mix of high margin licensing and other revenue. GAAP operating expenses for the 2025 were $8,700,000 flat as compared to $8,700,000 in the first quarter and up from $8,000,000 in the 2024.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

In the 2025, the company recorded 800,000 of other income related to the strategic award we won in August to develop a long term plan, provide manufacturing services for aerospace and defense segments. We recorded second quarter non GAAP net income of $700,000 or $03 per diluted share based on 22,600,000.0 weighted average diluted shares outstanding. This was in line with our guidance range of non GAAP net income of breakeven to $05 per share and a significant improvement from a non GAAP net loss of $600,000 or a loss of $03 per share in the 2024. As a reminder, non GAAP results are calculated by removing the impact of stock based compensation. We are pleased that our balance sheet remains strong and debt free.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of 45,000,000 up $2,800,000 from $42,200,000 at the end of the prior quarter. Cash flow generated from operations increased to $5,000,000 for the second quarter, up from $1,400,000 in the first quarter, driven by improved accounts receivable collections. We will continue to utilize our cash in developing new products, enhancing our sales and marketing efforts, and as an effective hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty. We did not experience any tariff related impact on our results in the second quarter and do not expect any material tariff related impact in the coming quarters pending further guidance from the Trump administration. As Sanjeev mentioned, we continue to expect 2025 to be more heavily weighted towards the second half of the year, reflecting our typical seasonality.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

Taking these factors into consideration, we expect Q3 total revenue in the range of $13,500,000 to $14,500,000 and GAAP net loss per fully diluted share to be between $05 and breakeven. On a non GAAP basis, we anticipate net income per fully diluted share to be between $02 and $07 In summary, we are pleased with our solid results this quarter and remain committed to maintaining financial discipline while focusing on scaling our business and converting additional design wins to revenue. Operator, you may now open the line for questions.

Operator

Thank you. At this time, we will conduct our question and answer session. Please remember to ask a question, you will need to press 11 on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press 11 again. Our first question comes from the line of Richard Shannon with Craig Hallum. Your line is now open.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Well, great. Thank you guys for letting me ask a few questions here. Apologize. I jumped in a little bit late in the call, so I may have missed some some topics here. But, as I typically do, I'd love to ask about product gross margins in the quarter.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

If I did my numbers right, seems like they're in line or a little bit lower than last quarter and kind of a bit lower than maybe what the trend we've seen in the last several quarters here. So I want to get a sense of whether there's any yield or mix dynamics going on in here.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

They're earlier in the life cycle, so we're always looking for ways to improve those gross margins and working with the foundries and the folks in manufacturing to improve continuous improvement on the yields.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

I guess, do we is there a path or a view to getting those product gross margins up above 50% anytime soon?

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

Yeah. That is our target. We expect to be north of 50% in total for product gross margins. But you know, as always, those things take a little bit of time. So we but we do expect to be solidly in that 45 to 50 ish percent, margin range for products.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Okay. Fair enough. Thanks for that update. Would love to ask about kind of progress in in the new product area here. I think you mentioned a couple a couple of brief comments in this area, but, doesn't sound like we should expect a notable increase here as we exit the year.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

I think the phrase I heard used was going to full volume production with these products late this year. So if I caught that right, maybe you can help us understand what kind of contributions we should look for as we get into next year.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

Yeah. I think on those newer products, right, they are ramping and they are kind of in the burgeoning aerospace segment. That's one of the key segments, key industries for that area. And we've we definitely are starting to see some uptick and, again, some good traction on some of the newer part parts and products. So I think we're we're, you know, we're moving along healthily with those products.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

I'll just add some color to that, Richard. Hi, this is Sanjeev. Like we said in our prepared comments, we did see a significant sequential growth rate, almost 20% compared to Q1. And a good portion of that is actually attributed to this new products of the XPy family that we brought to market over the last couple of years. So we are seeing good traction and we are seeing some volume pickup as to how much it will be.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

It's a little bit difficult for us to break that out. But I do think that you'll see some contribution of that in the projection for the revenue that we have for Q3 and going up into Q4.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Okay, fair enough then. Maybe let's ask on the product side here from an end market perspective. You mentioned some nice dynamics here in data center, and you pulled out some stuff in automotive here. Maybe just talk about the dynamics you're seeing in the broader industrial markets and even by geographies, as I think you've talked about from time to time in the past year, what the trends are looking like. I think we're seeing a lot of moving parts, both up and down as we see other companies reporting so far and love to get your sense of what you're

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

Yes. So the good news for Everspin from Everspin's point of view is that we are actually seeing depletion of inventories at our customers almost all across the world, specifically in the Asian region, where we were concerned about inventory overbuild. So I think we are actually seeing some good number of orders come in from that region. So that's good. And again, most of these are either in the automation or in the data center.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

And by data center, I mean the RAID memory or general memory applications. So the Dells, the Supermicros, the Broadcoms. And then as far as automation, those are our traditional customers from across the world that use them for programmable logic controllers. So we're starting to see some uptick in that activity as well.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Okay, great to see. And my last question, I'm just hunting through my notes here from the call. I believe, Bill, you had mentioned something about a pickup in some specific contract. I apologize, my handwriting here is pretty bad. But something going to pick up in the fourth quarter.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Maybe you could repeat that and then describe a little bit more about what's going on there, please. Thank you.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

Yes. Yes. So that is the other income that we have from the Amentum contract that we were awarded, late last year. And,

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

we do expect to see some pickup.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

Activity in that contract in the back half of the year.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Okay. So when you talk about a pickup there, any way that you can quantify what we're talking about relative to the third quarter or two? I think you had a fairly sizable quarter in this contract sometime last year. Maybe you can just kind of size that for us somehow, please.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

Yes. We had a strong back half last year. We'll expect to see a strong second half and particularly more toward Q4 as well.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Okay. I think that is all the questions for me. Thank you, guys.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

Yeah. Thanks, Richard.

Bill Cooper
Bill Cooper
CFO at Everspin

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you so much. And please, as a reminder, to ask a question, please press 11 on your telephone. You will then hear an automated message advising your hand is raised. To withdraw your question, please press star, 11 again. One moment while we could power our Q and A roster.

Operator

All right. Our next question again comes from the line of Richard Shannon with Craig Hallum. Your line is now open.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

All righty. Well, I guess I could have just stayed in here. Let's see here. Guess two questions from me. First one is, in terms of the QuickLogic relationship there, maybe I caught the language wrong here, but is this something that you're finished the current contract, you're waiting for the new one?

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Or just want to get a sense of timing and dynamics where we are with the last announced one, please?

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

Yes. So as far as the completion of the phase, I was referring to the front grid project, Richard. We did complete the first phase of that project in Q2, and now we are dependent on renewal of the project. And that is actually funded I think Front Grid is actually funded through the AFRL. So that's what we are waiting on next.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

On the QuickLogic, we continue to deliver on the deliverables that we had signed up for in Q2. There's nothing significant to report over there except that we have met our deliverables and continue to work on future deliverables.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Okay. When expect do that contract to complete?

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

The QuickLogic one, I think the total value of the project and the time is almost another two years, if I'm not mistaken.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

That's not true. Got it. Okay. Yeah. My last topic to touch on here is, you know, following up on the press release with that you did with Lattice Semiconductor as a companion to the FPGA chips they sell there.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Wanted to get a kind of an update there on the progress. I know this is something that was going to take a number of quarters to come to fruition, but I'd love to get your update on that one, Sadiq. That's all for me. Thanks.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

Yeah. So, I mean, as we talked about last time, we do have some activity going on with Lattice where they're actually doing a co package solution using our XPy part of, I believe it's either 32 or 64 megabit density. And I think that evaluation is ongoing and I think they are now those parts are now available for our customers to evaluate through different distributors. For example, Digi Key, you can get the boards from there for evaluation. And then also on GitHub, we have the drivers available to actually download the drivers to evaluate those parts.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

So I think the collaboration is going well. Just like you said, it's going to take a couple of quarters before you see any significant traction.

Richard Shannon
Senior Research Analyst at Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC

Okay. I'll I'm sure I'll ask in a couple of quarters on that. We look forward to hearing more about that. That's all from me, guys. Thank you.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

Thank you, Richard. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you so much. I am showing no further questions. I would now like to turn the call over to Sanjeev for closing remarks.

Sanjeev Aggarwal
Sanjeev Aggarwal
President, CEO & Director at Everspin

Thank you, operator. I just wanted to thank everyone for joining the call today and look forward to giving you guys an update for next quarter. Thanks a lot.

Operator

Thank you. This does conclude today's conference. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
