Sequans Communications Unaudited Second Quarter 2026 Preliminary Financial Results

(Moderate)
(Neutral)
Tags

Sequans Communications (NYSE: SQNS) reported preliminary unaudited Q2 2026 revenue of $7.5 million, up 23% QoQ but down 8.4% YoY, mainly due to lower Qualcomm-related license and services revenue versus Q2 2025. Product sales rose 39.4% QoQ and 83.7% YoY, and more than 40 design-win projects are now in mass production, representing 55% of a stated $300 million three-year product revenue pipeline.

Gross margin fell to 32.9% from 37.7% in Q1 2026 and 64.4% in Q2 2025, reflecting a higher product-sales mix and prior Qualcomm-related margin benefits. Operating loss narrowed to $7.2 million from $50.5 million in Q1, influenced by a $3.0 million digital asset impairment and a $5.3 million realized net gain on Bitcoin sales. Net loss was $9.8 million (−$0.65 per ADS) versus $76.2 million in Q1 2026 and $9.0 million in Q2 2025, while non-IFRS net loss improved to $4.0 million (−$0.27 per ADS).

According to Sequans, cash and cash equivalents increased to $21.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $10.6 million at March 31, 2026. Bitcoin holdings declined to 314 BTC (market value $18.4 million) from 1,514 BTC ($103.2 million) at March 31, partly due to sales used to redeem convertible debt and strengthen liquidity. The company ended the quarter with a debt-free balance sheet, down from $56.4 million in convertible debt and a $10.8 million embedded derivative liability at December 31, 2025. Total equity decreased to $41.7 million at June 30, 2026 from $127.7 million at year-end 2025, reflecting cumulative losses and changes in digital asset values.

Key Terms

non-ifrs, embedded derivative, convertible debt, rf transceiver, +1 more
5 terms
non-ifrs financial
"Non-IFRS net loss was $4.0 million, or ($0.27) per diluted ADS"
Non-IFRS refers to financial measures that companies report outside the standard accounting rules set by the International Financial Reporting Standards; these figures exclude or adjust certain items such as one-time costs, stock-based pay, or restructuring charges. Investors care because non-IFRS numbers try to show the business’s underlying performance — like a chef presenting a dish with optional toppings removed to highlight the core flavor — but they can be shaped to look more favorable, so compare them with the official IFRS statements.
embedded derivative financial
"change in value of the embedded derivative related to compound financial instruments"
An embedded derivative is a built-in feature inside a contract—like a bond, loan, or lease—that causes part of the payout to change based on something else, such as a stock price, interest rate, or commodity price. It matters to investors because that hidden feature can add separate risk and volatility to a security’s value and accounting treatment, like finding a removable engine in a car that changes how fast it can go and how much it’s worth.
convertible debt financial
"Following the full redemption of our convertible debt in May"
A convertible debt is a loan a company takes that gives the lender the option to swap the owed money for a set number of the company’s shares instead of getting cash back. It matters to investors because it can change who owns the company and how much their shares are worth: if lenders convert, existing shareholders can be diluted, but conversion can also signal confidence and reduce a company’s cash pressure — like getting a coupon that can be redeemed for store ownership rather than a refund.
rf transceiver technical
"our first drone customer in the quarter, reflecting the strong interest in our RF transceiver"
An RF transceiver is an electronic module that both sends and receives radio signals, letting devices talk wirelessly much like a walkie‑talkie that can listen and speak. Investors care because it determines how well a product connects (range, speed, battery life), affects manufacturing costs and supply chains, and ties to spectrum rules and market demand for wireless devices — all of which influence a company’s competitiveness and revenue potential.
eredcap technical
"our 5G eRedCap roadmap"
A secure electronic system for collecting and managing research and clinical trial data, often used to replace paper forms and spreadsheets. Think of it as a locked, organized online filing cabinet that enforces consistent data entry, timestamps changes, and controls who can view or edit records; investors watch for its use because it supports data integrity, regulatory compliance and reliable trial results that can affect a program’s value and risk profile.

(2) The financial results for 2025 differ from the preliminary unaudited results disclosed in the Company's July 31, 2025 earnings press releases.

"Our IoT semiconductor business delivered a strong second quarter, with revenue of $7.5 million, exceeding our guidance range and representing 23% growth compared to the first quarter of 2026," said Dr. Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans. "Product sales drove the vast majority of this performance, increasing more than 80% year-over-year, a clear reflection of the ongoing conversion of our design-win pipeline. We now have more than 40 design-win projects in mass production, representing 55% of our $300 million three-year product revenue pipeline. We also secured our first drone customer in the quarter, reflecting the strong interest we are seeing in our RF transceiver technology for drone and defense applications. With a growing backlog extending into 2027 and multiple active licensing discussions underway, we believe Sequans is well positioned to continue scaling its business and advance toward cash-flow break-even."

Dr. Karam added, "We have also taken meaningful steps to simplify our capital structure and sharpen our focus on our core IoT strategy. Following the full redemption of our convertible debt in May, we have continued to reduce our Bitcoin position in a disciplined and opportunistic manner, ending the quarter with $21 million in cash and 314 Bitcoin on the balance sheet. We enter the second half of 2026 with a debt-free balance sheet, strong financial flexibility, and what we believe is an increasingly compelling story across our 4G product portfolio, our RF and defense platform, and our 5G eRedCap roadmap."

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Summary:

Revenue: Total revenue was $7.5 million, an increase of 23.2% compared to the first quarter of 2026. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, this represents a decrease of 8.4%. The second quarter of 2025 included significant license and services revenue from Qualcomm related to the 2024 transaction. Excluding these revenues, revenue for the second quarter of 2026 increased 84.2% year over year.

Product sales accounted for the vast majority of revenue in the second quarter 2026, increasing 39.4% compared to the first quarter of 2026 and 83.7% compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Gross margin: Gross margin was 32.9% compared to 37.7% in the first quarter of 2026 and 64.4% in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting higher product sales in the revenue mix in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the prior periods. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2025 included a 36%pts benefit from the Qualcomm transaction.

Operating loss: Operating loss was $7.2 million compared to operating loss of $50.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. The operating loss in the second and the first quarter of 2026 included unrealized losses on impairment of the value of our Bitcoin investment of $3.0 million and $29.3 million, respectively, and a realized net gain of $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 and a realized net loss of $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, on the sales of Bitcoin primarily to finance the redemption of the convertible debt and to strengthen the cash position on the balance sheet.

Net loss: Net loss was $9.8 million, or ($0.65) per diluted ADS, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to net loss of $76.2 million, or ($5.23) per diluted ADS, in the first quarter of 2026 and net loss of $9.0 million, or ($3.53) per diluted ADS, in the second quarter of 2025. Net loss in the first quarter of 2026 included non-cash gains on the change in value of the embedded derivative related to compound financial instruments issued in July 2025 for $10.6 million off-set by non-cash loss of $31.5 million on the early extinguishment of debt.

Net loss in the second quarter included net interest expense of $2.4 million and $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, that was primarily non-cash and related to the IFRS accounting for the convertible debt issued in July 2025.

Non-IFRS loss: Excluding non-cash impairment of digital assets, non-cash stock-based compensation, the non-cash impact of the fair-value, non-cash loss on early extinguishment of debt, and effective interest adjustments related to the convertible debt and associated embedded derivatives and other financings, non-IFRS net loss was $4.0 million, or ($0.27) per diluted ADS in the second quarter of 2026 compared to non-IFRS net loss of $20.6 million or ($1.41) per diluted ADS in the first quarter of 2026, and non-IFRS net loss of $8.0 million or ($3.14) per diluted ADS, in the second quarter of 2025.

Cash: Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 totaled $21.0 million compared with $10.6 million at March 31, 2026.

Digital assets: At June 30, 2026, the Company held 314 Bitcoin with a market value of $18.4 million all of which is unrestricted and available for sale. This compares to Bitcoin holdings on March 31, 2026 of 1,514 Bitcoin with a market value of $103.2 million at the end of March 2026 and of which 1,217 Bitcoin ($82.9 million) were pledged as security.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements with respect to financial condition, results of operations and business of Sequans, product revenue pipeline, bitcoin treasury and business strategy for 2026 and beyond. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that are not historical fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements also often use words such as "anticipate," "committed to", "target," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "plan," "goal," "believe," "hope," "aims," "continue," "could," "project," "should," "will" or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Sequans in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this announcement could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct, and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this announcement.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results and are based on certain key assumptions. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our planned exit from our Bitcoin treasury strategy and potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the implementation of the Bitcoin treasury initiative and fluctuations on the value of Bitcoin and the implications of a decline in the value of Bitcoin on our collateral requirements. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are changes in the global, political, economic, business and competitive environments, market and regulatory forces, including tariffs and trade wars, our ability to convert our product pipeline and design wins into revenue, and a decline in the value of Bitcoin. If any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if any one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. A more complete description of these and other material risks can be found in Sequans' filings with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other documents that may be filed from time to time with the SEC. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this announcement. Sequans undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. All financial results described in this earnings release should be considered preliminary and are subject to change due to the finalization of the re-evaluation of the value of the convertible debt.

Use of Non-IFRS/non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, we disclose certain non-IFRS, or non-GAAP, financial measures. These measures exclude the non-cash impairment of digital assets, non-cash stock-based compensation and the non-cash impacts of convertible debt extensions, and effective interest adjustments related to the convertible debt with embedded derivatives and other financings. We believe that these measures can be useful to facilitate comparisons among different companies. These non-GAAP measures have limitations in that the non-GAAP measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. We seek to compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the table attached to this press release.
