Insights
QuickLogic reports Q1 revenue drop and shift to net loss despite strategic advancements in eFPGA technology.
QuickLogic's Q1 2025 results reveal notable revenue deterioration, with total revenue declining
Particularly troubling is the substantial gross margin compression, with GAAP gross margins plummeting to
The bottom line reflects these challenges, with QuickLogic swinging from a
Despite financial underperformance, QuickLogic's strategic positioning shows promise. The company achieved a technological milestone by delivering eFPGA Hard IP for Intel's advanced 18A process node. This first-mover advantage potentially positions QuickLogic favorably with USMAG (United States Military, Aerospace, and Government) customers and commercial entities looking to leverage Intel's leading-edge technology. The
The quarterly results demonstrate the inherent volatility in QuickLogic's contract-based revenue model. While management highlights building momentum in their business model, the financial metrics tell a different story in the near term, with sequential declines across key metrics from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025.
Recent Highlights
- Delivered design-specific eFPGA Hard IP for Intel 18A customer Test Chip
- Announced eFPGA integration into Faraday Technology Corporation's FlashKit™-22RRAM SoC Development Platform
- Awarded
$1.4 million - Extended
$20 million
"Following significant investments during the last year, we developed and in April, delivered design-specific eFPGA Hard IP for a customer's Test Chip, on Intel 18A," said Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. "We believe that being the first, and currently, only company to offer eFPGA Hard IP for Intel 18A puts us in a very strong position to capitalize on the increasing interest from United States Military, Aerospace, and Government ("USMAG") and commercial companies initiating new designs on Intel 18A technology. With this, the new Faraday Technologies FlashKit™ Development Platform in the market, and several contracts charted for Storefront, we believe our business model is building momentum."
