Prepared Metrics

Q&A Batch (1-5 of 6)

Q1 — Kevin Garrigan

• Topic: High-power end market performance in Q4 and Q1 trajectory; 800-volt architecture progress
• Key points:
  • Q4 revenue growth was driven by high-power markets; all high-power markets expected to perform going forward as mobile becomes immaterial through the year.
  • Company is collaborating with multiple hyperscalers on 800-volt HVDC adoption; sampled new products and announced a leading-edge 800-volt to 50-volt DC-DC brick.
  • Two streams of AI data center growth: (1) more data centers driving SiC growth in classic AC-DC throughout '26; (2) 800-volt HVDC step function with GaN, tied to rack architecture change, expected around '27.
• Mgmt stance: Neutral — collaboration is ongoing but too early to confirm timeline; GaN adoption in HVDC is a '27 event, though GaN may appear earlier in 48-volt IBC.

Q2 — Kevin Cassidy

• Topic: Hyperscaler engagement and inflection point for 800-volt HVDC installations
• Key points:
  • Company works directly with hyperscalers, OEMs, and ODMs in the U.S., Taiwan, and China; hyperscalers are driving the new architecture.
  • Co-developed a board with a customer to showcase GaN efficiency in 800-volt to 50-volt DC-DC brick; more reference implementations expected.
  • The 800-volt HVDC discontinuity (requiring high-voltage GaN) is driven by rack architecture (e.g., Kyber rack) with higher GPU integration, linked to '27.
• Mgmt stance: Neutral — inflection point is '27 for the step function; GaN may see earlier use in 48-volt IBC replacing silicon.

Q3 — Quinn Bolton

• Topic: GaN vs. SiC in 800-volt HVDC; 10-kW all-GaN brick solution and margin implications
• Key points:
  • Company has both SiC and GaN; customers (hyperscalers) are pulling GaN for 800-volt DC due to higher efficiency and density; no significant customer evaluation using SiC on the primary side for 800-volt DC.
  • The 10-kW all-GaN brick is a co-developed enabling solution with a customer, achieving 98.5% efficiency; company does not plan to sell the full brick module.
  • Company sells GaN and SiC components; the brick uses some competitor silicon and other technologies; focus is on accelerating GaN adoption in HVDC.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish on GaN pull — customers are driving GaN adoption; company is not competing with customers and sees no path to selling modules.

Q4 — Jonathan Tanwanteng

• Topic: Competitive landscape in 800-volt data center; partnership with Infineon; incremental margins
• Key points:
  • Partnership with Infineon continues via cross-license; shared vision to accelerate GaN and SiC in AI DC.
  • 13 vendors listed in 800-volt AI factory ecosystem, but few have both high-voltage GaN (650V) and mid-voltage GaN (50V); company is listed as a GaN vendor; competition pool is reduced.
  • Gross margin expansion expected from: (1) scale absorbing fixed costs; (2) high-power products at higher margins than mobile; (3) ramping new suppliers (especially packaging) to reduce costs.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — confident in gross margin expansion throughout '26 and into '27; competitive position is strong due to dual GaN/SiC portfolio.

Q5 — Jack Egan

• Topic: Drivers of gross margin expansion (mix vs. product innovation); SiC oversupply in other markets
• Key points:
  • Margin expansion driven by combination of end-market mix (mobile decreasing, high-power markets higher margin) and product cost reductions (optimized process, yields, packaging).
  • Growth in '26 comes from all high-power markets: AI data center (nearly half of 2030 SAM), performance computing, and grid infrastructure (higher ASP, higher-margin products).
  • Company does not play in EV SiC; focuses on 1.2 kV for AI data center PSUs and 2 kV+ for grid; oversupply in EV SiC is not relevant to Navitas.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish — margin expansion is broad-based across high-power markets, not just AI data center; ultra-high-voltage SiC focus avoids EV oversupply issues.

Q&A Batch (6-6 of 6)

Q6 — Richard Shannon

• Topic: AI数据中心机会来源、与英飞凌关系、产品组合扩展及毛利率展望
• Key points:
  • 与英飞凌有交叉许可协议，但公司不依赖或受益于英飞凌；双方在高压GaN、中压GaN、SiC及超高压SiC技术上愿景相似，常在同一客户处竞争。
  • 公司目前聚焦于4个高功率市场及高压GaN/SiC，但未来考虑扩展产品组合（如数据中心更高电压所需的电路保护），当前专注执行现有产品。
  • 毛利率因规模不足尚未体现杠杆效应，但Q2及之后将开始扩张；高功率市场产品毛利率更高，移动业务（Q4为25%）将持续下降，至2026年底变得微不足道。
• Mgmt stance: 中性偏乐观——管理层对毛利率扩张有信心，但承认当前规模限制，强调高功率产品占比提升和成本削减将驱动改善。

Q7 — Quinn Bolton

• Topic: 高压SiC在固态变压器及电网重构中的机会
• Key points:
  • 电网架构正从35,000V交流向800V直流转变，固态变压器（SST）是关键环节，公司加速采样2.3 kV和3.2 kV高压SiC产品。
  • 应用包括SST、电池储能系统、兆瓦级充电器、太阳能农场等，设计活动加速，客户沟通繁忙。
  • 管理层强调AI数据中心和电网是同等重要的两大支柱，均为纯高压SiC机会，与电动汽车技术不同（需高可靠性模块）。
• Mgmt stance: 乐观——管理层指出电网架构变化速度前所未有，设计势头加速，但承认设计周期较长。
