Strong Revenue Growth
Q1 net sales of $25.1 million, up 59.3% year-over-year, driven by broad-based demand for Edge AI and new customer production ramps.
Gross Profit and Margin Performance
Q1 non-GAAP gross profit of $11.6 million, up 56.2% year-over-year. Non-GAAP gross margin was 46.2% (down 90 basis points YoY due to a Q1 2025 nonrecurring credit; excluding that credit, margin increased ~210 basis points YoY).
Confident Near-Term Outlook
Company expects Q2 net sales of $31 million to $32 million (approximately 75% year-over-year growth) and projects continued momentum for the second half of 2026; Q2 non-GAAP gross margin guided at 45%–46%.
Diversifying Customer Base
Top 3 customers accounted for ~71% of Q1 2026 sales versus 86% in Q1 2025, indicating meaningful revenue diversification and the addition of a new major customer that entered production during the quarter.
Growing End-Market Diversification
Non-wearables represent ~25% of the pipeline and non-wearable revenue grew 100% in Q1; management expects revenue from medical, industrial and smart home/ building segments to more than double in 2026.
Product Roadmap Progress and Design Wins
Apollo 5 scaling and contributing to ASP uplift; Apollo 340 in design with samples expected in H1 2027 and meaningful revenue in 2028; Atomic 110 on track for tape‑out late 2026 (customer ramp late 2027); Atomic 120 engaging alpha customers with strong interest in smart glasses. New design wins include next-generation product line entering production in 2027.
Strong Balance Sheet

Software and System-Level Differentiation
Introduced a Compression Kit software offering (restricted to Ambiq products initially) to enable multi-day battery life while storing large volumes of raw data and enabling on-device anomaly detection.
