Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 8, 2018, Everspin Technologies, Inc. issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.02.  Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On November 7, 2018, the management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Everspin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded, after discussions with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, that (a) the Company needed to restate its financial statements for the three- and six-month interim periods ended June 30, 2018, and (b) the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for those interim periods ended June 30, 2018, included in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2018, should no longer be relied upon due to the identification of an error related to the accounting for inventory.

The accounting error relates to the valuation of inventory as of June 30, 2018 and the cost of sales for the three- and six-month periods then ended and has no material impact on the Company’s cash flow, revenue, or liquidity.

Based on its preliminary assessment, the Company estimates the impact of this correction on the periods affected as follows:

• An increase in cost of sales, operating loss and net loss and cumulative loss of approximately $770,000;

• A decrease in gross profit and inventory of approximately $770,000;

As a result of the error, the Company determined that it must restate the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an amendment to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2018, on or before November 16, 2018.

Everspin Reports Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Revenue Grows 28% Year-over-Year; Sales of MRAM Products Increase 14% Sequentially

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results to be Restated to Reflect $770 Thousand decrease in Inventory and increase in Cost of Goods Sold

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 8, 2018--Everspin Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRAM), the world's leading developer and manufacturer of discrete and embedded MRAM, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

“Third quarter results demonstrated meaningful progress from both a revenue and an operational perspective. The third quarter results show an important return to top line growth for the company. I am pleased with the ongoing improvement our team has made in our Toggle operations and with the traction our 256Mb STT-MRAM product is gaining both within our lead customers and beyond. We remain on track with the planned sampling of our 1Gb STT product next month. And finally, we’ve successfully executed multiple strategic agreements and initiatives that we believe will support longer-term profitable growth,” said Kevin Conley, Everspin’s President and CEO.


Summary of Preliminary Restated Second Quarter Financial Results

Everspin also announced today that the company will be restating its second quarter 2018 financial results due to a discrepancy related to the timing of recognizing scrapped inventory in the amount of $770 thousand. As a result, the company will reflect an additional $770 thousand increase in cost of sales for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, which will reduce gross profit and increase both loss from operations and net loss. The company anticipates filing its third quarter 10-Q and an amended second quarter form 10-Q/A on or before November 16, 2018. The second quarter 2018 financials are expected to be restated as follows:

Third Quarter Results (Second Quarter 2018 Results as restated for comparison)

Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $11.5 million, a 28% increase over the $9.0 million reported in the third quarter of 2017 and a 7.0% increase over the $10.8 million in the previous quarter.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2018 was 47% compared to gross margin in the third quarter of 2017 of 58% and in the second quarter of 2018 of 42%.


Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were $10.9 million, an increase from the $10.6 million in the year-ago quarter and $11.8 million in the previous quarter.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2018 was $5.6 million, or ($0.33) per share, based on 16.9 million weighted-average shares outstanding, compared with a net loss of $5.4 million, or ($0.43) per share, in the third quarter of 2017 and a net loss of $7.4 million, or ($0.44) per share, in the second quarter of 2018.

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2018 were $31.4 million as compared to $32.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2018.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2018, Everspin expects revenue to range between $11.8 million and $12.2 million. Net loss per share is expected to range between ($0.22) and ($0.18) based on an average-weighted share count of 17.1 million shares outstanding.
