Fiscal 2026 Revenue Growth
Total revenue for fiscal 2026 increased 22.4% year-over-year to $25.1 million, driven by strength in the SRAM business supporting AI chip design and simulation customers.
SRAM Business Strength and Margin Expansion
SRAM revenue grew ~22% year-over-year and helped lift full-year gross margin to roughly 54.5%–55% (up from ~49% the prior year), demonstrating improved product mix and higher-margin sales.
Strong Cash Position and No Debt
Ended the quarter with $67.2 million in cash and no debt (a substantial increase from $13.4 million the prior year), driven in part by $46.9 million net proceeds from an October 2025 registered direct offering, improving runway for APU investment.
Gemini II Technical Validation & Early Wins
Gemini II achieved notable technical validation in a Sentinel drone surveillance POC — delivering a time-to-first-token of roughly three seconds at ~30W system power on Gemma 312B multimodal workloads — contributing to contract award wins and a planned June demonstration for the DoD and an international defense agency.
Defense and Smart City Program Progress
Awarded U.S. Army SBIR progressing from Phase One to Phase Two (pathway to ruggedized Gemini II node) and won Phase One of a smart city project leveraging drone-surveillance work; defense-related sales increased to ~46% of shipments in the quarter.
Non-Dilutive Funding & Strategic Decision
Company completed strategic review deciding to remain standalone; strengthened balance sheet plus non-dilutive R&D funding (SBIR/POC funds) support continued APU development and reduce reliance on equity dilution.
PLATO Program On-Track
PLATO chip design (tape-out target aligned with calendar/Q1 2027) remains on schedule; management expects first wafers in summer 2027 and is leveraging Gemini II software work to accelerate PLATO software alignment.
Q1 FY2027 Guidance
Provided near-term guidance: expected net revenues $5.9M–$6.7M and gross margin approximately 54%–56% for Q1 FY2027, indicating management confidence in near-term revenue stability.
