Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Wolfspeed, Inc. (WOLF) reported fiscal Q4 2026 revenue of $149.6 million, down from $197.0 million a year earlier. GAAP gross margin was (25)% and non-GAAP gross margin was (20)%, reflecting continued losses in its silicon carbide device and materials business.

Wolfspeed posted a Q4 GAAP net loss of $145.4 million (non-GAAP net loss $116.9 million) and adjusted EBITDA of ($62.4) million. Operating cash flow was ($54.1) million, while cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $1.1 billion as of June 28, 2026. Management highlighted more than doubled AI data center revenue year over year and ongoing efforts to reduce debt and cost of capital following its fresh start accounting after emergence from Chapter 11 in 2025.

Positive

  • Net loss narrowed sharply year over year, improving from $669.3 million to $145.4 million, reflecting lower operating losses after prior-year goodwill impairment and restructuring charges.
  • Strong liquidity with $1.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 28, 2026 supports ongoing operations and restructuring of the capital structure.
  • AI data center revenue more than doubled in fiscal 2026 and grew about 20% sequentially in Q4, indicating rapid growth in a key strategic end market.

Negative

  • Revenue declined about 24% year over year, from $197.0 million to $149.6 million in Q4 2026, as both Power and Materials product lines decreased.
  • Gross margins remain deeply negative, with Q4 GAAP gross margin at (25)% and non-GAAP gross margin at (20)%, indicating products are still sold below full cost.
  • Sustained losses and cash burn, including Q4 GAAP net loss of $145.4 million, adjusted EBITDA of ($62.4) million and operating cash flow of ($54.1) million.
  • Business outlook still calls for negative non-GAAP gross margin in Q1 fiscal 2027, signaling no near-term return to profitability at the gross level.

Filing Explained

A $46 million convertible-note conversion shifted debt into equity, while this release leaves any resulting ownership change unquantified.

This Form 8-K furnishes Wolfspeed’s fiscal fourth-quarter results under Item 2.02; the release is furnished information rather than information deemed filed under Section 18. Its material structural disclosure is that holders exercised a voluntary conversion of $46 million of convertible notes into equity during the quarter.

The conversion changes the capital structure by replacing convertible-note debt with equity. The release does not state the resulting share count or conversion price, so the ownership effect for existing common holders cannot be sized from this disclosure.

A named follow-up is the company’s first-quarter fiscal 2027 outlook: revenue of $140 million to $160 million, with non-GAAP gross margin expected to remain negative and non-GAAP operating expenses of $62 million to $66 million.

Fresh Start Accounting financial
"As a result of emerging from a voluntary proceeding under Chapter 11 and qualifying for the adoption of fresh-start accounting"
Fresh start accounting is an accounting reset that occurs after a company emerges from a major restructuring or bankruptcy, where assets and liabilities are revalued to current fair values and a new equity base is recorded. Like wiping a chalkboard and writing a new starting score, it gives investors a clearer baseline for future performance but can make past results hard to compare and often changes reported profits, asset values and shareholder stakes.
adjusted EBITDA financial
"GAAP net loss of $145 million and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of ($62) million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, Wolfspeed also uses free cash flow as a measure"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
non-GAAP gross margin financial
"GAAP gross margin of (25)% and Non-GAAP gross margin of (20)%."
Non-GAAP gross margin is a measure of a company's profitability that shows how much money it makes from sales after subtracting the direct costs of producing its products or services, but without applying certain accounting adjustments required by standard rules. It helps investors understand the company's core earning ability by excluding items like one-time expenses or accounting changes. This metric provides a clearer picture of ongoing business performance beyond official financial reports.
Chapter 11 Cases regulatory
"prepackaged bankruptcy petitions (the "Chapter 11 Cases") on June 30, 2025."
Revenue $149.6 million Down from $197.0 million in the prior-year quarter

Fresh Start Accounting:
As a result of emerging from a voluntary proceeding under Chapter 11 and qualifying for the adoption of fresh-start accounting, on September 29, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), Wolfspeed’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values which, in some cases, are significantly different than amounts included in our financial statements prior to the Effective Date. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date are not comparable with our condensed consolidated financial statements on or before that date.
References to “Successor” relate to our financial position and results of operations after the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” refer to our financial position and results of operations on or before the Effective Date.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release highlights the Company's financial results on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. The GAAP results include certain costs, charges and expenses that are excluded from non-GAAP results. By publishing the non-GAAP measures, management intends to provide investors with additional information to further analyze the Company's performance, core results and underlying trends. Wolfspeed's management evaluates results and makes operating decisions using both GAAP and non-GAAP measures included in this press release. Non-GAAP results are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and non-GAAP information should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this press release.
Non-GAAP Guidance:
This press release includes guidance for Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, GAAP Operating Expenses, without unreasonable effort.
This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain future items that are necessary for such a reconciliation. These unavailable items include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation, project, transformation and transaction costs, and restructuring charges, the amounts of which could be material.
For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. A reconciliation is not available for these periods because these items cannot be predicted with a reasonable degree of certainty.
Forward Looking Statements:
This press release contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that may cause Wolfspeed’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, including estimates, forecasts, and projections about possible or assumed future results of Wolfspeed’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans, and objectives and Wolfspeed’s industry and market growth. Words such as “could,” “will,” “may,” “assume,” “forecast,” “position,” “predict,” “strategy,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “budget,” “potential,” “forward” or “continue” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. All statements in this press release that are not historical are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding Wolfspeed’s position in the industry and long-term growth prospects, our ability to achieve our targets for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and beyond, initiatives to reduce Wolfspeed's debt and cost of capital and the expected growth in AI data center applications for Wolfspeed's products. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with Wolfspeed's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, including the potential effects on Wolfspeed's relationship with its various stakeholders, including customers, vendors, contractors, employees or suppliers, its ability to attract, motivate, and/or retain management and key personnel, its ability to retain customers, and third parties willing to do business with Wolfspeed on acceptable terms or at all; ongoing uncertainty in global economic and geopolitical conditions; changes in progress on infrastructure development or changes in customer or industrial demand that could negatively affect product demand, including as a result of an economic slowdown or recession, collectability of receivables and other related matters if consumers and businesses defer purchases or payments, or default on payments; risks associated with

Wolfspeed’s expansion plans, including cost overruns, the timing and amount of government incentives actually received, including, among other things, any direct grants and tax credits, issues in installing and qualifying new equipment and ramping production, poor production process yields and quality control, and potential increases to Wolfspeed’s costs; Wolfspeed’s ability to obtain additional funding as needed, including, among other things, from government funding, public or private equity offerings, or debt financings, on favorable terms and on a timely basis, if at all; the risk that Wolfspeed does not meet its production commitments to those customers who provide Wolfspeed with capacity reservation deposits or similar payments; the risk that Wolfspeed may experience production difficulties that preclude it from shipping sufficient quantities to meet customer orders or that result in higher production costs, lower yields and lower margins; Wolfspeed’s ability to lower costs; the risk that Wolfspeed’s results will suffer if it is unable to balance fluctuations in customer demand and capacity, including scaling back its manufacturing expenses or overhead costs quickly enough to correspond to lower than expected demand or bringing on additional capacity on a timely basis to meet customer demand; the risk that longer manufacturing lead times may cause customers to fulfill their orders with a competitor’s products instead; product mix; risks associated with the ramp-up of production of Wolfspeed’s new products, and Wolfspeed’s entry into new business channels and industries different from those in which it has historically operated; Wolfspeed’s ability to convert customer design-ins to design-wins and sales of significant volume, and, if customer design-in activity does result in such sales, when such sales will ultimately occur and what the amount of such sales will be; the risk that the markets for Wolfspeed’s products will not develop as it expects, including the adoption of Wolfspeed’s products by electric vehicle manufacturers and the overall adoption of electric vehicles and our ability to diversify our end markets in medium- to high-voltage verticals such as AI datacenters; the risk that the economic and political uncertainty caused by tariffs imposed or announced by the United States on imported goods, and corresponding tariffs and other retaliatory measures imposed by other countries (including China) in response, may continue to negatively impact demand for Wolfspeed’s products; the risk that Wolfspeed or its channel partners are not able to develop and expand customer bases and accurately anticipate demand from end customers, including production and product mix, which can result in increased inventory and reduced orders as Wolfspeed experiences wide fluctuations in supply and demand; risks related to international sales and purchases; risks resulting from the concentration of Wolfspeed’s business among few customers, including the risk that customers may reduce or cancel orders or fail to honor purchase commitments; the risk that Wolfspeed’s investments may experience periods of significant market value and interest rate volatility causing it to recognize fair value losses on Wolfspeed’s investment; the risk posed by managing an increasingly complex supply chain (including managing the impacts of supply constraints in the semiconductor industry and meeting purchase commitments under take-or-pay arrangements with certain suppliers) that has the ability to supply a sufficient quantity of raw materials, subsystems and finished products with the required specifications and quality; risks relating to outbreaks of infectious diseases or similar public health events, including the risk of disruptions to Wolfspeed’s operations, supply chain, including its contract manufacturers, or customer demand; the risk Wolfspeed may be required to record a significant charge to earnings if its amortizable assets become impaired; risks relating to confidential information theft or misuse, including through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion; Wolfspeed’s ability to complete development and commercialization of products under development; the rapid development of new technology and competing products that may impair demand or render Wolfspeed’s products obsolete; the potential lack of customer acceptance for Wolfspeed’s products; risks associated with ongoing litigation; the risk that customers do not maintain their favorable perception of Wolfspeed’s brand and products, resulting in lower demand for its products; the risk that Wolfspeed’s products fail to perform or fail to meet customer requirements or expectations, resulting in significant additional costs; risks associated with strategic transactions; the risk that Wolfspeed is not able to successfully execute or achieve the potential benefits of Wolfspeed’s efforts to enhance its value; and other factors discussed in Wolfspeed’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including Wolfspeed’s report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2025, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These forward-looking statements represent Wolfspeed’s judgment as of the date of this press release. Except as required under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, Wolfspeed disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events, developments, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Wolfspeed uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP non-operating (expense) income, net, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP diluted loss per share, non-GAAP EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. These measures are presented for continuing operations only.
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included with this press release.
Non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not in accordance with or an alternative to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Wolfspeed's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Wolfspeed's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Wolfspeed believes that these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, enhance investors' and management's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance shareholder value. In addition, because Wolfspeed has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting.
For its internal budgeting process, and as discussed further below, Wolfspeed's management uses financial statements that do not include the items listed below and the income tax effects associated with the foregoing. Wolfspeed's management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company's financial results.
Wolfspeed excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable:
Stock-based compensation expense. This expense consists of expenses for stock options, restricted stock, performance stock awards and employee stock purchases through its Employee Stock Purchase Program. Wolfspeed excludes stock-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures because they are non-cash expenses that Wolfspeed does not use to evaluate core operating performance.
Restructuring and facility closure costs. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company began a headcount reduction and facility consolidation plan (the "2025 Restructuring Plan") to incur costs to optimize its operating model and accelerate its transition to 200 mm silicon carbide offerings through facility closures and headcount reduction initiatives. Wolfspeed does not include these expenses when evaluating core operating activities for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance, as these activities may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company's ongoing business operations. Restructuring and facility closure costs associated with the 2025 Restructuring Plan primarily consist of severance, asset-related charges and other closure-related costs related to facilities in the process of closing or are already closed. Other closure-related costs primarily consist of contract termination costs, manufacturing transition charges and certain inventory abandonments that are directly attributable to a facility closure. Contract termination costs are directly attributable to facility closures and other restructuring-related activities. Manufacturing transition charges include non-productive manufacturing expenses incurred during the period from when shutdown activities commence to when a facility is closed. Inventory abandonments relate to identification and disposal of inventory that will not be utilized after a product line is transferred to a new manufacturing location. Loss on disposition of assets results from abandonment of non-productive assets in accordance with a restructuring plan. During the
8


second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2026, the Company implemented additional headcount reductions. The costs related to these initiatives, primarily severance, were recorded in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2026, as applicable.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Wolfspeed incurred amortization of acquisition-related intangibles in connection with acquisitions. Wolfspeed excludes these items because they are non-cash expenses that Wolfspeed does not use to evaluate core operating performance. These costs are recorded within "Restructuring and other expenses". Amortization related to intangibles recognized upon the adoption of fresh start accounting are not excluded from non-GAAP measures other than EBITDA.
Goodwill impairment. Wolfspeed determined that goodwill for its single reporting unit was fully impaired, resulting in a $359.2 million impairment charge during fiscal 2025. Wolfspeed excluded this amount as Wolfspeed does not believe it is reflective of the Company's ongoing operating results.
Gain/loss on disposal of property and equipment. Wolfspeed sold idle equipment and a building, which included the building improvements and land during fiscal 2026. Wolfspeed sold two properties including buildings, building improvements and land during fiscal 2025. Wolfspeed does not believe these gains and losses are reflective of ongoing operating results.
Write-off of deferred financing costs. Wolfspeed wrote off the deferred financing costs for its then outstanding debt in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. This is due to the restructuring support agreement and the voluntarily filed prepackaged bankruptcy petitions (the "Chapter 11 Cases") on June 30, 2025. Wolfspeed does not believe this is reflective of its ongoing operating results.
Pre-petition charges. Wolfspeed recognized Pre-petition charges that consist primarily of professional fees directly related to, but incurred prior to, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. Wolfspeed does not believe this is reflective of its ongoing operating results.
Project, transformation and transaction costs. The Company has incurred professional services fees and other costs associated with completed and potential acquisitions and divestitures, transformation programs focused on optimizing the Company's administrative processes, and certain costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases that are not accounted for as Reorganization items, net in accordance with ASC 852. These costs are recorded within "Restructuring and other expenses". Wolfspeed excludes these items because Wolfspeed believes they are not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Wolfspeed's business.
Amortization of premiums, discount and debt issuance costs. net Interest expense for certain of the Company's outstanding debt obligations includes amortization of premiums/discount and debt issuance costs. Wolfspeed excludes amortization of premium/discount and debt issuance costs from its non-GAAP measures because they are non-cash expenses that Wolfspeed does not use to evaluate core operating performance.
Gain/Loss on equity investment. The Company received shares of MACOM common stock in connection with the divestiture of the RF product line. These shares were accounted for utilizing the fair value option and changes in the fair value of the shares are recognized in income. The Company disposed of the MACOM shares in September 2025. Wolfspeed excluded the impact of these gains or losses from its non-GAAP measures because Wolfspeed believes it is not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Wolfspeed's business.
Proceeds from settlement reimbursement and miscellaneous items. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company settled a dispute with a customer for damaged tools that were disposed in a prior year and recorded proceeds for the sale of miscellaneous parts. Wolfspeed believes the proceeds are not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Wolfspeed's business.
Income tax adjustment. This amount reconciles GAAP tax expense (benefit) to a calculated non-GAAP tax expense (benefit) utilizing a non-GAAP tax rate. The non-GAAP tax rate estimates an appropriate tax rate if the listed non-GAAP adjustments were excluded. The non-GAAP tax rate estimate applied to the non-GAAP adjustments includes application of a zero-tax rate where a valuation allowance exists on a non-GAAP basis. This reconciling item adjusts non-GAAP net (loss) income to the amount it would be if the calculated non-GAAP tax rate was applied to non-GAAP (loss) income before income taxes.
Wolfspeed may incur some of these same expenses, including income taxes associated with these expenses, in future periods.
In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, Wolfspeed also uses free cash flow as a measure of operating performance and liquidity. Free cash flow represents operating cash flows from continuing operations, less net purchases of property and equipment and patent and licensing rights. Wolfspeed considers free cash flow to be an operating performance and a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property and equipment, a portion of which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Wolfspeed's business, make strategic acquisitions and strengthen the balance sheet. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of operating performance and liquidity is that it does not represent the residual cash flow available to the company for discretionary expenditures, as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as debt service.
