Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this report and with our audited financial statements and related notes thereto included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as "believe," "will," "may," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "plan," "expect," "predict," "could," "potentially" or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. You should read these statements carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition, or state other "forward-looking" information. These statements relate to, among other things, our industry, business, future plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this report in Part II, Item 1A - "Risk Factors," and elsewhere in this report, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Forward-looking statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. These statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of their date, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements in light of future developments. In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. We caution investors that our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.
Overview
We are a pioneer in the successful commercialization of Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) technology. Our portfolio of MRAM technologies, including Toggle MRAM, Tunnel Magneto Resistance (TMR) Sensors, and Spin-transfer Torque MRAM (STT-MRAM), is delivering superior performance, persistence and reliability in non-volatile memories that transform how mission-critical data is protected against power loss. With almost 20 years of MRAM technology and manufacturing leadership, our memory solutions deliver significant value to our customers in key markets such as industrial, medical, automotive/transportation, aerospace, military and defense, and data center. We are the leading supplier of discrete MRAM components and a successful licensor of our broad portfolio of related technology and intellectual property.
We sell our products directly and through our established distribution channels to industry-leading original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers.
We manufacture our MRAM products using both captive and third-party manufacturing capabilities. We purchase industry-standard complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) wafers from semiconductor foundries and perform back end of line (BEOL) processing that includes our magnetic-bit technology at our leased 200mm fabrication facility in Chandler, Arizona. We also manufacture full-flow 300mm CMOS wafers with our STT-MRAM magnetic-bit technology integrated in BEOL as part of our strategic relationship with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc.
Key Metrics
We monitor a variety of key financial metrics to help us evaluate trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our business strategies, and assess operational efficiencies. These financial metrics include revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, and operating income determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, we monitor and project cash flow to determine our sources and uses for working capital to fund our operations. We also monitor adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, and design wins. We define adjusted net income as net income adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, litigation costs, the regulatory provision, and non-recurring engineering fees (NRE).
Adjusted net income. Our management and board of directors use adjusted net income to assess and evaluate our overall performance and financial trends, inform the annual budgeting process, and guide both short-term and long-term operational and strategic planning. As such, we believe adjusted net income provides meaningful insight for investors into our financial performance, consistent with how our management team and board of directors view and analyze our results. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered alongside, but not as a replacement for or superior to, net income as reported in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net income for the periods presented:

Revenue
We generated 81% and 86% of our revenue from products sold through distributors for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
We maintain a direct selling relationship, for strategic purposes, with several key customer accounts. We have organized our sales team and representatives into three primary regions: Asia-Pacific (APAC); North America; and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). We recognize revenue by geography based on the region in which our products are sold, and not where the end products in which they are assembled are shipped. Our revenue by region for the periods indicated was as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2026, we had $43.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $44.5 million as of December 31, 2025. We believe our cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to meet our anticipated capital requirements in the next 12 months. Our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among other things, our growth rate, the timing and extent of our spending to support our current and future manufacturing requirements, research and development activities, the timing and cost of establishing additional sales and marketing capabilities, and the introduction of new products.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026, that have had a material impact on our condensed financial statements and related notes.
