Management Commentary
"This quarter Atomera made excellent progress with customer engagements across our key target markets, in particular the advanced logic and memory segments where AI is creating the need for further performance improvements," said Scott Bibaud, president and CEO of Atomera. "In the past, RF designers have avoided using GaN for high volume applications because of the high cost and complexity of working with GaN on Silicon Carbide. Our breakthrough results with RF GaN on silicon have the potential to enable an entirely new class of RF devices which can now take advantage of the performance improvements GaN provides with the low cost of silicon substrates."

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the unaudited results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in this press release, Atomera presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and eliminating the impacts of interest, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the definitions of similarly-titled measures used by other companies. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is used as part of the Company's internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A table reconciling this measure to the comparable GAAP measure is available in the accompanying financial tables below.
