Aeluma (NASDAQ: ALMU) has appointed Primit Parikh as Strategic Advisor to support its management team on strategy and execution.
Parikh brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in semiconductors. He most recently served as VP and GM of Renesas’ GaN business division following its acquisition of Transphorm, where he was co-founder, president and CEO. Aeluma expects his experience in management and operations to support commercialization efforts, particularly its AI datacom strategy.
Aeluma (ALMU) reported fiscal Q4 and full-year 2026 results and announced growth initiatives, including a CHIPS R&D letter of intent for up to $30 million, on September 16, 2026.
Q4 2026 revenue was $0.6 million versus $1.3 million a year earlier, with a net loss of $4.0 million, or ($0.22) per share, compared with a $0.9 million loss, or ($0.05) per share. Full-year 2026 revenue was $4.5 million versus $4.7 million in 2025, and net loss widened to $9.2 million, or ($0.52) per share, from $3.0 million, or ($0.23) per share. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $5.2 million versus a $0.2 million gain.
The company executed six new contracts totaling $5.3 million, expanded partnerships including a new agreement with Sumitomo Chemical Advanced Technologies, grew headcount to 30+ and increased cash to $56.0 million, including $20.1 million raised via an at-the-market program. Management highlighted a strategic shift toward commercialization in AI datacom.
Aeluma (ALMU) has executed a strategic agreement with Sumitomo Chemical Advanced Technologies (SCAT) to accelerate development and production of photonics wafers for the AI datacom market.
The collaboration will initially use SCAT’s existing metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) capabilities at its Phoenix, Arizona facility and includes a path to increase capacity over time. Aeluma’s large-diameter non-indium-phosphide (non-InP) photonics platform uses more readily available substrates such as 150mm gallium arsenide and 200–300mm silicon, aiming to address shortages and high costs of InP substrates. The company also works with large-volume GaAs and Si foundries to complement its in-house MOCVD and reduce dependence on new fab buildouts and qualification timelines. Both companies describe the agreement as supporting accelerated development, qualification, and potential future expansion.
Aeluma (ALMU) will release its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 financial results, for the period ended June 30, 2026, after U.S. market close on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
The company will host a conference call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time / 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time the same day to discuss results and business outlook. Investors can join by dialing the provided domestic or international numbers and referencing “Aeluma,” or via a live webcast in the Investors section of the company’s website. A replay will be available online shortly after the call.
Aeluma (NASDAQ: ALMU) has appointed Jason Taylor, M.S., as Senior Director of Program and Project Management to drive commercialization of its compound semiconductor photonics technologies. Taylor brings nearly three decades of program management and engineering experience from Intel, Kyocera, and Lumileds, spanning laser, LED, and silicon semiconductors.
At Aeluma, he will lead program and project management across the organization, focusing on customer-driven technology and product development as the company advances toward commercialization in AI datacom, mobile, defense and aerospace, and other markets. Taylor will report directly to President and CEO Dr. Jonathan Klamkin.
Aeluma (NASDAQ: ALMU) signed a non-binding letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Research & Development Office for up to $30 million in proposed funding under the CHIPS and Science Act. The contemplated award would support R&D and manufacturing readiness for Aeluma’s scalable, non-InP photonic semiconductor platform using large-diameter substrates for AI, advanced computing, and communications.
The LOI envisions a portion of funds paid upfront and the remainder tied to milestones based on eligible project costs and technical progress. Finalization is subject to due diligence, U.S. government approvals, and definitive documents. In connection with a final award, Aeluma would issue equity securities to Commerce equal to the award amount, relying on Securities Act exemptions.
Aeluma (NASDAQ: ALMU) announced that CEO and Founder Jonathan Klamkin, Ph.D., will chair the Industry Program at the Optica Advanced Photonics Congress on July 28, 2026.
