SAN JOSE, Calif., May 13, 2025 /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 first quarter that ended March 30, 2025.
Recent Highlights
- Delivered design-specific eFPGA Hard IP for Intel 18A customer Test Chip
- Announced eFPGA integration into Faraday Technology Corporation's FlashKit™-22RRAM SoC Development Platform
- Awarded $1.4 million Incremental Funding Modification (IFM) for its Strategic Radiation Hardened Program
- Extended $20 million credit facility maturity date from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2026 for enhanced operational flexibility
"Following significant investments during the last year, we developed and in April, delivered design-specific eFPGA Hard IP for a customer's Test Chip, on Intel 18A," said Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. "We believe that being the first, and currently, only company to offer eFPGA Hard IP for Intel 18A puts us in a very strong position to capitalize on the increasing interest from United States Military, Aerospace, and Government ("USMAG") and commercial companies initiating new designs on Intel 18A technology. With this, the new Faraday Technologies FlashKit™ Development Platform in the market, and several contracts charted for Storefront, we believe our business model is building momentum."
Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $4.3 million, a decrease of 23.7% compared with the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 23.8% compared with the fourth quarter of 2024.
New product revenue from continuing operations was approximately $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 17.4%, compared with the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of $0.9 million, or 19.1%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. The decreases in total revenue and new product revenue from continuing operations from the same period a year ago were mostly due to the timing of awards for certain large eFPGA IP contracts.
Mature product revenue from continuing operations was $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. This compares to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
First quarter 2025 GAAP gross margin from continuing operations was 43.4% compared with 67.1% in the first quarter of 2024 and 62.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
First quarter 2025 non-GAAP gross margin from continuing operations was 45.6% compared with 72.4% in the first quarter of 2024 and 65.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
First quarter 2025 GAAP operating expenses from continuing operations were $3.9 million compared with $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
First quarter 2025 non-GAAP operating expenses from continuing operations were $3.0 million compared with $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
First quarter 2025 GAAP net loss was ($2.2 million), or ($0.14) per share, compared with net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2024, and a net loss of ($0.3 million), or ($0.02) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024.
First quarter 2025 non-GAAP net loss was ($1.1 million), or ($0.07) per share, compared with net income of $1.7 million, or $0.12 per share, in the first quarter of 2024, and a net income of $0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Such information may be deemed material information, and QuickLogic may use these channels to comply with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.

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) income (loss) from operations, (ii) net income (loss), (iii) net income (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.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our future profitability and cash flows, expectations regarding our future business and statements regarding the timing, milestones, and payments related to our government contracts, and statements regarding our ability to successfully exit SensiML, and actual results may differ due to a variety of factors including: delays in the market acceptance of the Company's new products; the ability to convert design opportunities into customer revenue; our ability to replace revenue from end-of-life products; the level and timing of customer design activity; the market acceptance of our customers' products; the risk that new orders may not result in future revenue; our ability to introduce and produce new products based on advanced wafer technology on a timely basis; our ability to adequately market the low power, competitive pricing and short time-to-market of our new products; intense competition by competitors; our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel; changes in product demand or supply; general economic conditions; political events, international trade disputes, natural disasters and other business interruptions that could disrupt supply or delivery of, or demand for, the Company's products; and changes in tax rates and exposure to additional tax liabilities.
