Our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC provide more information on specific risks that may cause the actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Now it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Ambiq's CEO, Fumihide Esaka.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Since the start of the year, we've seen a step change in demand for edge AI, which supports our strong performance and further increases our conviction in the magnitude and durability of the long-term opportunity. Across end markets, companies are embedding more sophisticated AI into a broader range of devices, and end-user demand is far exceeding our expectations and those of our customers. With our full-stack, ultra-low power solutions, Ambiq's defining technologies are not only enabling but further accelerating this next chapter in AI. This positions us to continue outpacing the broader market as we take share and expand our addressable opportunity. This momentum is reflected in our second quarter results. Net sales were ahead of guidance, growing approximately 90% over last year and marking our fifth consecutive quarter of sequential growth.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

We also raised approximately $168 million in net proceeds through a successful follow-on offering. The strong investor interest serves as a proof point of confidence in our ability to capitalize on the meaningful opportunity ahead. Turning to the details of the quarter, demand accelerated across customers, end markets, and products. Customer programs grew on healthy end-user demand, positive response to customers' recent launches, and continued ramping of our newest large customer. This supported strong performance across key products, including double-digit growth in Apollo3 and Apollo4, while Apollo5 sales more than doubled year over year. With lean inventory across channels and continued expedite requests, we are confident that this demand reflects underlying end market consumption rather than inventory replenishment.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

Orders continue to exceed initial forecasts, and based on our ongoing customer conversations, we expect underlying demand for edge AI to strengthen even further in the second half of 2026. At the same time, we and the broader semiconductor industry are increasingly supply constrained. We are working closely with our supply chain partners to support production ramps while maintaining the high level of quality and execution our customers expect. With tight capacity across wafers, packaging, substrates, and testing, we are actively working to secure additional foundry allocations and OSAT capacity to improve supply flexibility and better support customer demand over time. Even with these actions, our second half outlook is constrained by available supply given the significant levels of demand we are seeing. As additional capacity becomes available, we believe we are well-positioned to convert this deferred demand into future revenue.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

Based on our current visibility, we expect third quarter net sales to grow approximately 100% year over year, and we now expect to deliver approximately $135 million in net sales for the full year, even with the supply constraints I just mentioned. Looking ahead, we believe the opportunity for Ambiq is substantial. With more than 20 billion connected devices already deployed, there is significant potential to embed edge AI across this large and growing installed base. While adoption remains at an early stage, increasing AI functionality at the edge is driving demand for greater compute and memory content across a growing range of devices and use cases. As these workloads become more sophisticated, customers must deliver higher levels of intelligence and performance without compromising battery life, responsiveness, or privacy. That challenge is making power efficiency a critical design requirement for the next generation of edge devices.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

These requirements are redefining what matters most in semiconductor design. Power efficiency is no longer just an advantage. It is becoming a fundamental requirement for the next generation of edge AI devices. That is exactly where Ambiq is uniquely positioned to lead and create value. To capture this opportunity, we are broadening our reach across form factors, customers, and end markets while investing in the next generation of products that will push the boundaries of ultra-low power performance. Our latest hardware and software innovations are further enhancing our ability to support increasingly advanced AI workloads at the edge. On the hardware side, we recently introduced the Apollo3 Blue Plus and Apollo510 Lite SoC families. Both products are generating strong customer demand, with backlog tied to next-generation product roadmaps.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

We expect these products to begin contributing revenue in the third quarter, with the first customer devices expected to reach the market early next year. We are also expanding the value of our solutions through a growing suite of AI software capabilities. Our recently launched HELIA CORE and compressionKIT are already helping customers accelerate production deployments, improve power efficiency, reduce memory requirements, and lower overall system costs. More recently, we introduced HELIA PROFILER, an open-source profiling tool that broadens the HELIA AI ecosystem and gives developers greater visibility into model performance and system optimization. The breadth and depth of our full-stack portfolio is enabling us to support more applications, win new customers, and expand into diverse end markets. This includes greater penetration in medical, industrial, and smart home and building applications.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

We continue to expect revenue from these markets to more than double in 2026, making them a more meaningful contributor to Ambiq's growth and diversification. We expect this momentum to continue, supported by a growing and increasingly diverse design funnel. For example, in wearable neurotechnology, on-device AI is being used to analyze complex biosignals like EEG in real time, improving responsiveness and privacy. In smart buildings, leak detection systems can distinguish meaningful events directly at the sensor, reducing data transmission while enabling faster intervention. In industrial applications, always-on sensors monitor equipment health in real time, detecting failures before they disrupt operations. These are exactly the types of workloads our ultra-low power SoCs and innovative AI software are designed to support, positioning us well to capture the next wave of edge AI adoption across multiple high-growth markets.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

Turning to our product roadmap, we continue to advance our next-generation products, Apollo 340, Atomiq 110, and Atomiq 120. Customer interest remains incredibly strong, including engagement with alpha customers, as these products are critical enablers for our customers to advance their own ambitious AI roadmaps. Development for these products continues to advance, with both Atomiq 110 and Apollo 340 targeted for customer sampling in early 2027. In closing, the customer demand we are seeing today reinforces our belief that edge AI is becoming one of the most important long-term growth drivers in the semiconductor industry. While near-term supply constraints remain an industry-wide headwind, we are taking decisive actions to support our customers. As we look ahead, we are exceptionally well-positioned to capture the meaningful long-term opportunity in edge AI through differentiated technology, an expanding product portfolio, and growing customer engagement.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

With that, I will turn it over to Jeff to cover the financials.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

Thank you, Hoomy, and good morning, everyone. We delivered a strong second quarter with non-GAAP gross profit more than doubling year over year. This marks our fifth consecutive quarter of growth and reflects the strength of our differentiated technology, accelerating edge AI demand environment, and strategic shift to higher-value market opportunities for our products. Now turning to the details of our second quarter financial results. Net sales were $33.9 million, increasing 89.7% year over year, with revenue outside of our three largest customers growing 143% year over year. Sales to end customers in China were approximately 14% of total net sales, compared to approximately 12% in the prior year period. Our continued strategy with regard to China is to engage in customer programs where our technology is enabling higher-value edge AI functionality. Non-GAAP gross profit increased 109.3% year over year to $16 million.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

Non-GAAP gross margin was 47.2%, up 450 basis points year over year on favorable mix related to greater edge AI enablement as well as improved manufacturing efficiencies. Turning to operating expense. Non-GAAP R&D was $11.2 million, up 55.5% year over year as we increase investments in product development and technology. The primary drivers for R&D increases were intellectual property licensing for multiple product developments, compensation costs as we scale the team, and contractor costs to augment our own labor. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $8.2 million, up 23.7% year over year, driven largely by sales compensation for higher revenues and public company costs. Second quarter non-GAAP net loss was $1.8 million, a $4.1 million improvement year over year. Non-GAAP net loss per share was $0.07, based on 21.74 million average shares outstanding.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

We ended the quarter with no debt and $366.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, which included approximately $168 million in net proceeds from our upsized follow-on offering in June of this year. In total, our two offerings this year raised approximately $243 million in net proceeds, providing us the financial flexibility to fund working capital, sales and marketing, and product development as we continue to capitalize on the growing edge AI demand and scale to meet customer needs. Now turning to our outlook. For the third quarter, we expect net sales in the range of $36 million-$37 million, driven by the trends covered by Hoomy earlier. We expect non-GAAP gross margin between 46.5% and 47.5%, which is consistent with the second quarter performance.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

Non-GAAP operating expense of $24 million-$25 million, reflecting investments to support product development and strategic growth priorities, including $2 million related to intellectual property purchases in the quarter. Finally, we expect a non-GAAP loss per share of $0.20-$0.12, based on a weighted average share count of 24.17 million shares outstanding. This new share count is reflective of our follow-on offering in June. Looking ahead, customer demand is accelerating meaningfully as we enter the second half of the year. At the same time, we are navigating increased supply constraints and rising cost pressures alongside the broader industry. Despite this, we are on track to double year over year net sales growth in the second half, positioning us to deliver approximately $135 million for the full year.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

For gross margin, we now expect modest year-over-year improvement in 2026 compared to our prior 2026 expectations for flat margins year-over-year. We expect to achieve this even with the broader industry headwinds we are navigating. We continue to expect OpEx of approximately $85 million for the full year, including $7 million to $10 million of IP purchases necessary for product development. With that, I will turn the call back over to Hoomy before we open the line for Q&A.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

We are pleased with our performance in the first half of 2026 and encouraged by the momentum we continue to see across the business. We remain focused on delivering for our customers, expanding capacity, advancing our product roadmap, and investing for long-term sustainable growth. We believe the foundation we have built positions Ambiq well for the opportunities ahead, and we remain confident in our ability to execute. With that, I will open the call to questions. Operator, please go ahead.

Please pick up your handset when asking a question. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Tore Svanberg with Stifel. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Tore Svanberg
Tore Svanberg
Analyst at Stifel

Yes. Thank you, Hoomy, Scott, Jeff. Congratulations on the strong results. Hoomy, I was hoping you could elaborate a little bit more on the supply constraints. The question is, had you had the capacity, how much more could calendar 2026 be? When do you expect some of these supply issues to ease? Thank you.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

Hey, Tore. Thanks for the great question. Our customers' demand is skyrocketing, like we said in our statement. As we speak, our demand keeps on going up. I cannot put a specific number, but I must say that a lot of additional demand is coming in week after week. We believe that this trend will continue not only second half of this year, but even into 2027. That said, because of the fact that our demand continues to grow faster than market, I believe that the supply constraint is something that we need to diligently work with our supply chain partners. As you can see, we do have a very strong partnership with supply chain partners. Despite the fact that we are doubling our revenue year-over-year comparison.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

We have been able to meet those demand, and we believe that we will be able to meet forecasted quantity as closely as possible. Again, one challenge is that the customer success has been phenomenal. Let me tell you one example. A couple customer introduced a brand new product back in May. Their pre-order quantity was 3 to 5 times X of what even they expected. To meet that demand, they wanted a product in June, that is physically impossible. We couldn't do that, but we will work with our supply chain partner and the customer to sustain our very strong continuous growth.

Tore Svanberg
Tore Svanberg
Analyst at Stifel

Yeah, no, that's great color. Thank you for that, Homi. Maybe as my follow-up question for you, Scott, and specifically on product development and Atomiq, sounds like the first Atomiq product is going to be sampling first half of next year. Just curious, are we still looking at a 2028 revenue ramp from the Atomiq product? Thank you.

Scott Hanson
Scott Hanson
Founder and CTO at Ambiq Micro

Yeah. Thank you. Yes. That's all still the plan. 2028 meaningful ramp for Atomiq 110. Great progress in the last several months since our last call. Probably the most notable thing is that early development platform is in customer hands in the form of an FPGA, and we're getting a lot of useful feedback. The sales team is building a nice list of customers that want access to that product. I'm excited about that, and it's interest that spans a couple different markets, so that's very positive. So yeah, I'm pleased with how that's going. I will say, it's a busy time for the development team because we're developing multiple products in parallel. We've got Atomiq 110, we've got Apollo 340, so a lot going on, and I'm pleased with how things proceed.

Your next question comes from the line of Quinn Bolton with Needham & Company. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Shahin Navabi
Shahin Navabi
Analyst at Needham & Company

Hey, guys, this is Shahin Navabi for Quinn. Thanks for the question, and congrats on all the progress. I guess on gross margin for Q2 and Q3, it is coming in much better than expected. I just wanted to hear the puts and takes on what is driving the strength here, especially with the rising component costs and supply constraints.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

Yeah. There are two basic things that we have really made significant progress on that have allowed us to achieve gross margins a little bit above our business model. On the top side, from an ASP perspective, we continue to win business and price our products to extract the maximum value that we are providing to end customers. Pricing continues to be something that we look at and make sure that we are balancing to get the most that we can from the products that we sell. We have also made a lot of progress on the actual manufacturing costs associated with our products, and this is primarily through yield improvements and test time improvements as we ramp products into full scale manufacturing.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

That is being muted a little bit by some of these cost pressures that we are seeing, but making progress on both the top side as well as the cost basis for our products is what has allowed us to deliver these margin results.

Shahin Navabi
Shahin Navabi
Analyst at Needham & Company

Got it. That is helpful. In terms of just the strong demand in the wearables market, it sounds like it is pretty broad based, but is there any form factor that you guys are seeing more demand for, whether that is the watches, the bands, rings, or glasses?

Scott Hanson
Scott Hanson
Founder and CTO at Ambiq Micro

Yeah, we are indeed seeing demand across all types of wearables, right? So whether it is wrist-based, it is watches and bands, display-less bands, or smart rings, or even glasses. What I will say is that one of the hot new areas is display-less trackers. So that would encompass both your smart rings as well as trackers like the Whoop device and the new Fitbit Air. There is a great demand for that, and I would say that what is driving that is that there is this movement towards AI agents in the cloud gathering up all this data. You do not necessarily need the display right there to tell you what is going on. And so you rely on the AI agent to analyze all your data and give you feedback about how to adjust your sleep and how to adjust your eating and so forth.

Scott Hanson
Scott Hanson
Founder and CTO at Ambiq Micro

As we have talked about in the past, these devices become almost like medical devices. So we are really excited about the future there. We see our customers being very excited about the future there. Yeah, expect good things out of that segment moving forward.

Shahin Navabi
Shahin Navabi
Analyst at Needham & Company

Got it. Thank you.

Your next question comes from the line of Liam Farr with Bank of America. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Liam Pharr
Liam Pharr
Analyst at Bank of America

Hi, thanks for taking my question. I was wondering if you could start with just discussing your revenue mix, either across end markets and especially in your funnel. Is it still the markets outside of wearables comprising around 25%, or has that ticked up over the last couple of quarters? Thank you.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

Well, one of the edge AI devices, and really we call it personal devices, growth is phenomenal. So we believe that will continue to grow. That said, non-wearable market is also growing. Like we said in the script, we said we doubled non-wearable demand. However, because the denominator is growing so fast in personal devices with edge AI capability, that absolute number may not be as great as what we'd like to see. But its growth is very strong.

Scott Hanson
Scott Hanson
Founder and CTO at Ambiq Micro

What I'll add is that it does remain true that if we look at new designs launching next year, roughly 25% plus of that funnel is non-wearable devices. So, that remains true, but we're to some extent, as Humi said, victims of our own success just because everything else is going so well. So I would say good progress, but maybe not as fast as one might like in these fast-growing times.

Liam Pharr
Liam Pharr
Analyst at Bank of America

Okay. Thank you. Then $1.8 million of net loss for the quarter. I was wondering if you could just kind of provide some color on that trajectory towards profitability on the bottom line, and is Atomiq needed to get there, or can we see some profitability or even free cash flow breakeven in fiscal 2027? Thank you.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

Yeah. I think we're very, very pleased with our progress in terms of reducing the operating loss that you're seeing quarter-over-quarter. These are very fast-growing revenues. We're spinning off even higher percentage of gross profit dollars, and our spending is not growing as fast. What I would point to is if you look at our guidance for Q3, we expect OpEx to jump back up. Again, this is really investments around our 110 and 340 development. I think it's too early to really talk about that tipping point of when we'll get to cash flow breakeven. We're very much focused on a growth model right now, and in fact, we've raised quite a bit of money in the last two offerings that we've done, specifically to give us the cash resources to both grow our existing pipeline of business as well as develop new business opportunities.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

We'll continue to be investing those dollars pretty heavily, and it's too early really to talk about when we expect to get to a profitability metric.

Hi, Humi, Scott, Jeff. Congratulations on the progress here.

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

Thanks.

Suji Desilva
Suji Desilva
Analyst at Roth Capital

Yeah, thanks. In the non-wearable market, guys, is there a channel or ecosystem partner strategy to help penetrate the broader industrial customer base? Or is it through your customers to their customers, or just any ways that that would be accelerated through a channel strategy?

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

Well, we're working with various partners, including a distribution partner and some of the rep, so we're expanding. However, as you know, those market does take a little bit longer than a consumer market, so we are seeing a very strong, like I said, doubling year after year demand. It will take a little time, but yes, we're very optimistic that those market will grow, and will be a significant part of our future revenue.

Scott Hanson
Scott Hanson
Founder and CTO at Ambiq Micro

Yeah, I would say the cool thing if I look at medical, industrial, smart home is the huge diversity of use cases that appear in our funnel, whether it's opportunities we're engaging with or wins that we have. But it's everything from Holter monitors to fetal heart rate monitoring, to EEG brain monitors, ECG patches, seizure detection devices. On the industrial side, you've got radiation dosimeters, implantable animal monitors, seabed sensing. So huge variety of stuff. The other thing I'll mention from a partner side is a lot of what these customers sell is its modules, right? So it's devices that we sell a chip to the module manufacturer, and then they go off and sell, aggregate a bunch of other customers. In that way, we reach a broader customer base.

Scott Hanson
Scott Hanson
Founder and CTO at Ambiq Micro

Bottom line is, we are very pleased with the diversity of customers that we are seeing, and we are optimistic about the future there.

Suji Desilva
Analyst at Roth Capital

Sounds exciting. Yeah. My second question, obviously great job on the fundraising here. Now that you have the stronger balance sheet, I am wondering your thoughts or strategy on inorganic, if there are product holes, software or hardware that could expand, or what the thoughts there are as you go forward. Obviously strong organic growth, so wondering what the thinking is there.

Fumihide Esaka
Fumihide Esaka
CEO at Ambiq Micro

Yeah, we cannot talk about what is our strategy on organic or inorganic growth, but definitely we are using that to expand our portfolio of the product. It could be beyond what we talked about, Apollo and Atomiq. Please stay tuned. We are very excited. Having these kind of funds to be able to expand our portfolio is really exciting to us.

Your next question comes from the line of Tim McCurry with UBS. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Tim Arcuri
Tim Arcuri
Analyst at UBS

Thanks a lot. Jeff, I wanted to ask about OpEx. It is ballooning a bit in September. The full year implies it is going to go down a touch in December, but these $7 million-$10 million worth of IP purchases, it is not something that you called out in the past. How much of this is recurring as we head into 2027? Basically, what is the right baseline off of that $23 million in December, and do these IP purchases continue into the first half of next year?

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

Well, we talked about IP purchases at the very beginning of the year, and in terms of that $85 million of OpEx spending for 2026, we said that the IP piece of it would be about $7 million-$10 million in the OpEx line. I think we are just reiterating the fact that we still are on track to spend about that much for the year, both the $85 million, as well as the $7 million-$10 million for IP. That IP is directly linked to the Atomiq 110 and 340 development. It is a variable cost associated with building new products. When we think about the future, we will continue to spend money where we need to license IP to develop products beyond 340 and Atomiq 110.

Tim Arcuri
Tim Arcuri
Analyst at UBS

Okay, so it is going to recur into next year. That is the answer to the question, correct?

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

It will be tied directly to the products that we are developing on our roadmap.

Tim Arcuri
Tim Arcuri
Analyst at UBS

Okay. How about this: of the year-over-year growth in revenue, of the, let's say, $18 million, September 2026 versus September 2025, how much of that is units versus price?

Jeff Winzeler
Jeff Winzeler
CFO at Ambiq Micro

I cannot give you an exact percentage, but clearly, to get that type of growth, it is unit-based. The demand for end customers on a unit basis is exceeding all of our expectations, and units are the primary driver to our revenue growth.

Tim Arcuri
