Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lattice Semiconductor reported fiscal 2025 revenue of $523.3 million with GAAP gross margin of 68.2% and GAAP net income of $3.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted EPS was $1.05 and adjusted EBITDA reached $183.0 million, a 35.0% margin.

Fourth-quarter 2025 revenue was $145.8 million, up 24.2% year over year, with non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.32 and adjusted EBITDA margin of 36.5%, despite a small GAAP net loss. Communications and computing revenue for 2025 was described as record, with server revenue up about 85% year over year, and new-product revenue up roughly 70%.

The company generated fourth-quarter GAAP operating cash flow of $57.6 million and free cash flow of $44.0 million. It repurchased $100 million of stock in 2025, and the board authorized up to an additional $250 million in repurchases. For the first quarter of 2026, Lattice guides revenue between $158 million and $172 million, implying about 37% year-over-year growth, non-GAAP gross margin of 69.5% plus or minus 1%, non-GAAP operating expenses of $59–$61 million, a non-GAAP tax rate of 4–6%, and non-GAAP EPS of $0.34–$0.38 per diluted share.

Positive

  • Strong non-GAAP profitability and margins: 2025 non-GAAP diluted EPS reached $1.05, with adjusted EBITDA of $183.0 million and a 35.0% margin, reflecting high 69.3% non-GAAP gross margin and controlled operating expenses.
  • Robust growth in strategic end markets: Communications and computing delivered record full-year revenue, with server revenues up approximately 85% year over year and new-product revenue up about 70% versus 2024.
  • Bullish Q1 2026 outlook: Management guides first-quarter 2026 revenue to $158–$172 million, described as about 37% year-over-year growth, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.34–$0.38 and non-GAAP gross margin around 69.5%.
  • Healthy cash generation and capital returns: 2025 free cash flow totaled $132.6 million, and the company repurchased $100 million of stock, with board authorization for up to an additional $250 million in repurchases.

Negative

  • Weak GAAP earnings despite revenue growth: Full-year 2025 GAAP net income was only $3.1 million (a 0.6% margin), down sharply from $61.1 million in 2024, and Q4 2025 showed a GAAP net loss of $7.6 million with a (5.2)% margin.
  • Elevated operating cost structure on a GAAP basis: 2025 GAAP operating expenses increased to $345.7 million from $305.9 million, and included substantial stock-based compensation of $116.3 million plus restructuring, transformation, and impairment charges that materially reduced GAAP profitability.

Insights

Solid non-GAAP growth, strong Q1 2026 guidance, but GAAP earnings are suppressed by large non-cash and stock-based items.

Lattice delivered modest full-year revenue growth to $523.3 million, yet materially expanded profitability on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP diluted EPS rose to $1.05, and adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 35.0%, supported by gross margin of 69.3% and disciplined operating expenses.

Quarterly trends looked stronger: Q4 2025 revenue of $145.8 million grew 24.2% year over year, with Q4 non-GAAP operating margin near 30.7%. Management highlighted record communications and computing revenue and approximately 85% year-over-year server revenue growth, underscoring data-center and AI momentum.

The 2026 outlook is notably upbeat. Guidance calls for Q1 2026 revenue of $158–$172 million, which the company characterizes as about 37% year-over-year growth, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.34–$0.38. GAAP results are much weaker—full-year GAAP net income was only $3.1 million and Q4 showed a net loss—largely due to sizable stock-based compensation of $116.3 million for 2025 and other adjustments.

Business generates strong cash and funds sizable buybacks, signaling confidence in long-term prospects.

Lattice produced GAAP operating cash flow of $175.1 million in 2025, a 33.5% margin, and free cash flow of $132.6 million. Q4 free cash flow margin was 30.2%. This cash generation supports both growth investments and shareholder returns.

The company repurchased $100 million of common stock in 2025 and received board authorization for up to another $250 million. With year-end cash and equivalents of $133.9 million and stockholders’ equity of $714.1 million, the balance sheet remains robust even after buybacks.

Operationally, channel inventories in industrial and automotive were described as normalized, and revenue mix is shifting toward higher-value new products, which management says grew about 70% versus 2024. Future performance will depend on sustaining demand in communications, computing, and AI-related data-center markets under the Q1 2026 guidance framework.

LATTICE SEMICONDUCTOR REPORTS RECORD COMMUNICATIONS & COMPUTING REVENUE FOR FULL YEAR 2025 

Guides 37% Year Over Year Revenue Growth for 1Q26

 

HILLSBORO, Ore. – February 10, 2025 – Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: LSCC), the low power programmable leader, announced financial results today for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended January 3, 2026.

 

Revenue for the full year 2025 was $523.3 million, with GAAP gross margin of 68.2% and GAAP net income of $0.02 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 69.3%, with net income per diluted share of $1.05. GAAP net income and GAAP net income margin for the full year 2025 were $3.1 million and 0.6%, respectively, with adjusted EBITDA of $183.0 million and a 35.0% adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2025.

 

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $145.8 million, with GAAP gross margin of 68.5%, and GAAP net loss of $(0.06) per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 69.4%, with net income per diluted share of $0.32. GAAP net loss and GAAP net income margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $(7.6) million and (5.2)%, respectively, with adjusted EBITDA of $53.2 million, which is a 36.5% adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2025. GAAP net cash flow from operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $57.6 million, which is a GAAP operating cash flow margin of 39.5%, and free cash flow and free cash flow margin of $44.0 million and 30.2%, respectively.

 

Ford Tamer, Chief Executive Officer, said, "2025 was a pivotal year where we delivered on what we said we would do: stabilized revenue, normalized channel inventories, and drove exceptional data center growth, with server revenues up approximately 85% year over year. We advanced our leadership product roadmap, strengthened our software and solutions, and secured design wins across all our segments to fuel production ramps. We finished the year with strong momentum led by accelerating growth in AI and datacenters, higher Lattice FPGA attach rates per system and increasing ASPs as diversified customers move to our newer product platforms and solutions. When taken together, we believe we are positioned for higher growth in 2026 and beyond."

 

Lorenzo Flores, Chief Financial Officer, said, "We delivered solid operating results, supported by disciplined execution, durable gross margin and improving free cash flow margins. We also delivered on our commitment to grow earnings faster than revenue. Given our normalized Industrial and Automotive channel inventory, we expect revenue to better track consumption in 2026. In Communications and Computing, demand remains strong, supported by sustained datacenter momentum. We remain focused on executing our strategy, including investing to strengthen our market leadership in Small and Mid-range FPGAs and drive our highly successful Companion Chip expansion."

GAAP represents U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Non-GAAP represents GAAP excluding the impact of certain activities which the Company's management excludes in analyzing the Company's operating results and in understanding trends in the Company's earnings. Additional information relating to these measures is included below in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results, see accompanying tables "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

 

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Highlights: 

 

  Accelerated New Product Revenue Growth: Revenue of our new products grew approximately 70% compared to 2024, with a record total number of design wins.
  Expanded Product Portfolio by 60% in 2025: Launched a steady cadence of new vision, motion control, security and general purpose devices in 2025. Many additional devices are planned for 2026, including improved Radiant tool support, IP, solutions, and enablement to build upon Lattice's Small FPGA leadership and growing share of the Mid-range FPGA market. 
  Normalized Channel Inventory: Achieved overall target level of channel inventory. 
  Extended Repurchase Program: Lattice repurchased $100 million of its common stock in 2025. Lattice's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $250 million of its outstanding common stock reflecting the Company's strong financial position and capital allocation strategy.
  Over 20 Industry Honors: Lattice was selected as ‘Most Respected Public Semiconductor Company’ at the 2025 Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) Awards; was awarded multiple times in 2025 as a Top Workplace in the Technology Industry; received Frost & Sullivan Institute 2025 Visionary Growth Leadership Best Practices Recognition; received multiple awards for innovation including, ‘Most Innovative Company of the Year’ in the Hardware category at the 20th Annual 2025 Globee Cybersecurity Awards for Technology; and received SEAL and Environment + Energy Leader sustainability awards.

Business Outlook - First Quarter of 2026:

 

  Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be between $158 million and $172 million.
  Gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be 69.5% plus or minus 1% on a non-GAAP basis.
  Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 are expected to be between $59 million and $61 million on a non-GAAP basis.
  Income tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be between 4% and 6% on a non-GAAP basis.
  Net income for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be between $0.34 and $0.38 per share on a non-GAAP basis.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release makes reference to non-GAAP financial measures. With respect to the outlook for the first quarter of 2026, certain items that affect reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP gross margin percentage, non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP income tax rate, and non-GAAP net income are not available on a forward-looking basis because such items cannot be reasonably calculated without unreasonable efforts due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from non-GAAP financial measures, including certain large and/or unpredictable charges such as stock-based compensation expense; performance-based equity expense; legal expense outside the ordinary course of business; restructuring; and impairment charges. Consequently, the Company is unable to calculate the most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP gross margin percentage, non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP income tax rate, and non-GAAP net income for the Companys first quarter 2026 quarterly guidance.

Forward-Looking Statements Notice:

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance and may be forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: our revenue and EPS growth, future financial performance and related drivers; our expectations related to market recovery and growth including AI and datacenter-related growth; statements about attach rates and ASP growth; our expectations regarding our share repurchase program; the statements under the heading “Business Outlook - First Quarter of 2026.” Other forward-looking statements may be indicated by words such as “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “future,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “propose,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

Estimates of future revenue and other financial and operational outcomes are inherently uncertain due to factors such as: global economic conditions which may affect customer demand; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry including fluctuating customer and distributor purchasing patterns, inventory levels, and order timing; pricing and inflationary pressures; competitive actions; international trade disputes and sanctions; the impact of tariffs, trade restrictions, export controls, license requirements or similar actions on us or our suppliers and customers, including the impact on the costs of our products, the products into which they are integrated, and the impact on demand due to costs and uncertainty; the potential impact of global pandemics; and other significant risks and uncertainties that are beyond our ability to predict or control. Actual gross margin percentage, operating expenses, tax rate, and net income could vary from the estimates on the basis of, among other things, changes in revenue levels, changes in product pricing and mix, changes in wafer, assembly, test and other costs, variations in manufacturing yields, the failure to sustain operational improvements, and the actual amount of compensation charges due to stock price changes.

Lattice believes these and other risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for the Company to predict all risk factors. You should not rely on forward-looking statements because actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statement applies only as of the date on which it is made. The Company does not intend to and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Included within this press release and the accompanying tables and notes are certain non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company's consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including non-GAAP gross margin, gross margin percentage, R&D expense, SG&A expense, operating expenses, income from operations, income tax expense, net income, net income per share – basic, and net income per share – diluted, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin. The non-GAAP measures presented exclude charges and adjustments primarily related to stock-based compensation and related payroll tax effects; accruals related to the portion of our annual incentive plan that we intend to settle in shares of our common stock; transformation activities; legal expense outside the ordinary course of business; amortization of acquired intangible assets; restructuring plans and other charges; impairment charges; and the estimated tax effect of these items, non-cash changes in net deferred income taxes, change in tax law and other tax adjustments; and depreciation and other amortization. These charges and adjustments are a result of periodic or non-core operating activities of the Company. The Company describes these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles them to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables and notes attached to this press release.

 

The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of our performance that, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting our ongoing financial performance and operating results than GAAP measures alone. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures for strategic and business decision-making, internal budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation processes and believes that investors should have access to similar data. The non-GAAP financial information used by the Company may differ from that used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are included solely for informational and comparative purposes and are not meant as a substitute for GAAP and should be considered together with the consolidated financial information located in the tables attached to this press release.
