“We are pleased to report third quarter revenue above the high end of our guidance range, bolstered by the increased NRE and licensing revenue from a new Radiation Hard program on Toggle MRAM and the continuation of our existing Radiation Hard programs on STT-MRAM technologies,” said Sanjeev Aggarwal, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Our R&D and design teams delivered on the milestones to further the development of STT-MRAM-based solutions for a high-density memory array and a distributed memory for configuration in FPGAs. Our dedication to supply chain management, quality and reliability continues to be recognized across the board, earning us several design wins with our new STT-MRAM family of xSPI products from customers in the fast-growing Industrial IoT and embedded system markets. This new STT-MRAM family of xSPI products, now available over an extended temperature range of -40⁰C to 105⁰C and from 4 to 128Mb densities, is well positioned as an alternative solution to SRAM, BBSRAM, FRAM, NVSRAM, and NOR flash devices,” said Sanjeev Aggarwal.

“Everspin continues to generate profits, reporting positive GAAP net income for the 10^th consecutive quarter while continuing to generate strong operational cash flow,” said Anuj Aggarwal, Everspin’s Chief Financial Officer.

Third Quarter 2023 Results

Total revenue was $16.5 million, an increase of 5% from $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of 8% compared to $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in revenue from the prior quarter was driven by licensing revenue related to Everspin’s RAD-Hard projects.

MRAM product sales, which includes both Toggle and STT-MRAM revenue, was $13.5 million, compared to $13.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 and $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Licensing, royalties, patents and other revenue was $2.9 million, a 25% increase from $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of $2.2 million from $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Gross margin was 60.2%, compared to 58.4% in the second quarter of 2023 and 58.8% in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to increased licensing revenue.

GAAP operating expenses were $7.9 million 2023, compared to $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 and $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. GAAP operating expenses increased in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022 as a result of increased professional service costs.

GAAP net income was $2.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, based on 21.8 million weighted-average fully diluted common shares outstanding. This compares to net income of $3.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023 and net income of $1.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.0 million, compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 and $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 were $34.9 million, compared to $30.8 million as of June 30, 2023, and $23.4 million as of September 30, 2022.

Cash flows from operating activities were $3.6 million, compared to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, and $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter 2023, Everspin expects total revenue in a range of $15.4 million to $16.4 million and GAAP net income per diluted share to be between $0.01 and $0.06.

This outlook is dependent on Everspin's current expectations, which may be impacted by, among other things, evolving external conditions, such as COVID-19 and its variants, local safety guidelines, worsening impacts due to supply chain constraints or interruptions, including due to the military conflict in Ukraine, instability in the Middle East, recent market volatility, semiconductor downturn and the other risk factors described in Everspin's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC during 2023, as well as in its subsequent filings with the SEC.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Everspin supplements the reporting of its financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) with Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Everspin defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring costs (if any).

Everspin’s management and board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA to understand and evaluate its operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve its annual budget and to develop short-term and long-term operating and financing plans. Accordingly, Everspin believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information for investors in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as superior to, or as a substitute for, net income reported in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently, which limits the usefulness of this measure for comparisons with such other companies. Everspin encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
