QuickLogic Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results and Affirms Its Expectation for Full Year Profitability

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 14, 2023 — (PRNewswire) — 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 second quarter ended July 2, 2023.

Highlights

"While the timing of the award for the next phase of the large eFPGA contract negatively impacted our second quarter results, with this next, substantially larger contract phase fully executed and new bookings generated from our growing sales funnel, we reaffirm full year revenue growth will be above 30%," said Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. "In addition to accelerated revenue growth, we also are affirming our expectation that we will report second half and full year non-GAAP profitability for 2023."   

Fiscal Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.9 million, a decrease of 29.3% compared with the first quarter of 2023, and a decrease of 35.7% compared with the second quarter of 2022.

New product revenue was approximately $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 26.9%, compared with the first quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $0.9 million, or 28.7%, compared with the second quarter of 2022. The completion of the $6.9 million government contract in the second quarter and the delay of the add-on contract led to the lower than anticipated revenue.

Mature product revenue was $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 36.2%, compared with the first quarter of 2023. Mature product revenue in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 51.2% compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Second quarter 2023 GAAP gross margin was 41.2% compared with 57.8% in the first quarter of 2023, and 56.0% in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross margins was primarily related to revenue volatility resulting from delays in starting new phases of an existing contract.

Second quarter 2023 non-GAAP gross margin was 44.2% compared with 59.7% in the first quarter of 2023, and 58.6% in the second quarter of 2022.

Second quarter 2023 GAAP operating expenses were $3.4 million compared with $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, and $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Second quarter 2023 non-GAAP operating expenses were $2.9 million compared with $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, and $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Second quarter 2023 GAAP net loss was $2.3 million, or $0.17 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.09 per share, in the first quarter of 2023, and a net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter of 2022.

Second quarter 2023 non-GAAP net loss was $1.7 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with a net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2023, and a net loss of $47 thousand, or $0.00 per share, in the second quarter of 2022.

For more information, visit  www.quicklogic.com and  https://www.quicklogic.com/blog/.

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 (Securities and Exchange Commission) 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) loss from operations, (ii) net loss, (iii) net 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.
