Strong AI Data Center Momentum
AI data center revenue doubled over the last three quarters with 50% quarter-over-quarter growth from Q1 to Q2, driven by traction in AI power, collaborations to support transition from 400V to 800V architectures, and multiple partner engagements.
Materials Technology Milestone — 300mm Wafer
Produced a single-crystal 300-millimeter silicon carbide wafer (important R&D/technology milestone) while continuing to scale 200mm materials leadership for power devices.
Improved Liquidity and Balance Sheet Actions
Ended Q2 with $1.3 billion in cash and short-term investments, collected ~$700 million in 48D cash tax refunds, reduced net debt to approximately $600 million, and used part of cash to retire $175 million of first-lien debt.
Revenue and Segment Results In Line with Guidance
Total Q2 revenue was $168 million (in line with the midpoint of prior guidance). Power revenue was $118 million (Mohawk Valley contributed ~ $75 million) and materials revenue was $50 million.
Operational and Cost Discipline
Completed shutdown of 150mm device production ~1 month ahead of schedule (transitioning to 200mm), reduced CapEx to $31 million in Q2 versus ~ $400 million in Q2 last year (≈92% YoY decline in CapEx for the quarter), and lowered non-GAAP operating expenses by ~$200 million on a run-rate basis versus last year.
Fresh-Start / Restructuring Benefits and Regulatory Clearance
Adopted fresh start accounting with a $1.1 billion gain from emergence (reflecting debt forgiveness), received final CFIUS clearance enabling release of ~16.85 million shares to Renesas and distribution of ~871,000 shares to legacy shareholders; shares outstanding now ~45.1 million.
Future P&L Tailwinds from Accounting Adjustments
Fresh-start fair value adjustments include a $70 million step-down related to raw materials that will be realized in P&L over upcoming quarters and an expected net reduction of ~ $30 million per quarter in depreciation and amortization vs. pre-emergence levels.
