Risk Factors

Widening Operating Loss Operating loss widened substantially to 4.5M USD in Q2 2025, compared to 35K USD loss in Q2 2024, reflecting revenue pressure.
Royalty Revenue Weakness H1 2025 royalty revenue declined 8.9% to 19.9M USD, mainly attributed to widespread softness in the lower-end smartphone market.
Increased Operating Costs H1 2025 operating expenses rose 3.4% to 51.8M USD, driven by higher salaries and equity-based compensation expenses.
Outlook
Lowered Revenue Guidance Adopted cautious outlook, lowering 2025 revenue guidance from high-single digits range to low-single digits growth over 2024 revenues.
Expected Royalty Recovery Expect sequential royalty growth throughout 2025 remainder, driven by customer build-up for holiday season and new 5G modem models.
Focus on Smart Edge Markets Intend to capitalize on semiconductor momentum, focusing on Consumer IoT, Automotive, Industrial, and Infrastructure markets for growth.
Sufficient Capital Resources Current cash, deposits, marketable securities, and cash flow from operations provide sufficient capital to fund operations for next 12 months.
