Prepared Metrics

Q&A Batch (1-5 of 5)

Q1 — Cody Grant Acree

• Topic: Wuxi revenue, Q2 recovery, radar ramp, supply constraints
• Key points:
  • Wuxi Q4 revenue: ~$29.7 million; sequential decline due to Chinese New Year shutdown and reduced EV subsidies.
  • Wuxi expected to recover in Q2 (management confirms bounce).
  • Radar program: "phenomenal progress," OEM traction "off the charts"; discussions on next generation begun.
  • Supply constraints: Q1 trailing impact; ~$1 million demand still questionable vs. ~$5 million affected in Q4.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish on radar ramp and OEM traction; neutral on supply (mitigation progress but constraints persist).

Q2 — Sujeeva De Silva

• Topic: Backlog update, design wins, regional traction
• Key points:
  • Strategic backlog updated once a year; no quantifiable update now.
  • Progress on sales side: new discrete designs with larger programs; sell-through to OEMs from large radar program increasing.
  • Core business traction: exposure to OEMs in Europe, Asia, China, India; "doing well in all regions."
• Mgmt stance: Bullish on global momentum and radar program progress; neutral on backlog (no new numbers).

Q3 — Unknown Analyst

• Topic: Robotics/drones opportunity, quantum traction, supply chain timeline
• Key points:
  • Robotics: "phenomenal amount of activity"; products 100% compatible with automotive; could be "very material" later this decade.
  • Quantum: shipped ~$1 million optical products in 2025; expects ~3x growth in 2026.
  • Supply chain: tightness driven by AI demand; expanding supply base; several suppliers investing in capacity, likely effective in 2027; expects to manage through 2026 without major bumps.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish on robotics and quantum momentum; neutral on supply (progress but resolution not until 2027).

Q4 — Anthony Stoss

• Topic: Radar revenue range for 2026, OpEx outlook, China core exposure
• Key points:
  • Radar revenue for 2026: still in $30M–$50M range; momentum with newer OEMs; ramp expected over '26–'29.
  • OpEx: roughly flat quarterly; possible lumps up to ~$1 million for tooling.
  • Core business China exposure: ~25%–30% range, possibly a bit less now.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish on radar momentum and long-term ramp; neutral on OpEx (flat with minor variability).

Q5 — Craig Ellis

• Topic: Core business growth drivers, radar revenue trajectory to $100M
• Key points:
  • Core business Q1 growth ~20%; drivers: ADAS side, iND880 processor success, new version with AI edge processor.
  • Radar still small volume in Q1 and Q4; first shipments critical for validation.
  • Radar path to $100M: visibility improving; too early to call exact year (2028 or 2029); "increasingly confident"; significant support and supply chain expansion underway.
• Mgmt stance: Bullish on core growth and radar long-term potential; cautious on timing for $100M milestone.

Q&A Batch (6-6 of 6)

Q6 — Cody Acree

• Topic: 供应链多元化及双重采购进展
• Key points:
  • 封装方面已启用新的基板供应商和新的封测厂，目前共有4种基板与封测厂的组合可供使用。
  • 针对雷达等大批量项目，计划引入第二晶圆代工来源，以满足“中国供应中国、非中国供应非中国”的需求。
  • 为支持上述举措而产生的额外运营支出已在前期体现，目前相关费用已消化完毕。
  • 预计2026年全年运营支出将基本持平，仅可能在工装治具方面出现单次低于100万美元的零星投入。
• Mgmt stance: 中性偏乐观，供应链多元化布局已基本完成，短期额外成本影响已消除，后续支出将趋于平稳。
