Positioning the Company Towards 2023 Expected
Revenue Growth of Greater than 30%
SAN
JOSE, Calif., May 16, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) ("QuickLogic"
or the "Company"), a developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice
enabled SoCs (System on Chips), embedded FPGA (Field Programmable
Gate Array) IP, and Endpoint AI (Artificial Intelligence)
solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal
first quarter ended April 2,
2023.
Highlights
- Continued new product revenue growth year over year
- Increased sales funnel to $125
million
- Growth in eFPGA-related business and sequential improvements in
gross margins driven by eFPGA revenue and cost management position
the Company for expected 2023 non-GAAP operating profit
"We continued to make progress this quarter towards reaching our
goal of positive non-GAAP operating income," commented Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. "Conversion of
opportunities in our sales funnel, now at $125 million, should
start to accelerate in the third and fourth quarters, providing
upside to our sales growth estimate of 30%. This continued
growth would put us on track to report positive non-GAAP operating
income in both the third and fourth quarters and for the full
year."
Fiscal First Quarter 2023 Financial
Results
Total revenue for the first quarter
of fiscal 2023 was $4.1 million, an increase of 1.2%

increase of 0.9% compared with the first quarter of 2022.
New product revenue was approximately $3.1 million in the first quarter of

million, or 7.5%, compared with the fourth quarter of
2022, and a decrease of $0.4 million, or 11.4%,
compared with the first quarter of 2022. Increased eFPGA revenue
year over year was offset by decreased display, smart connectivity,
and sensor product revenues.

the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of
$0.2 million, or 13.2%, compared

quarter of 2022.

compared with 51.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022, and
60.1% in the first quarter of 2022.

with 53.2% in the fourth quarter of 2022, and

2022, and a net loss of $1.2
million, or $0.10 per
share, in the first quarter of 2022.
First quarter 2023 non-GAAP net loss was $0.5 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with a net loss of
$0.5 million, or $0.04 per
share, in the fourth quarter of 2022, and a net loss of

information, visit www.quicklogic.com
and https://www.quicklogic.com/blog/.
QuickLogic uses its website (www.quicklogic.com), the company
blog (https://www.quicklogic.com/blog/), corporate Twitter account
(@QuickLogic_Corp), Facebook page
(https://www.facebook.com/QuickLogic), and LinkedIn page
(https://www.linkedin.com/company/13512/) as channels of
distribution of information about its products, its planned
financial and other announcements, its attendance at upcoming
investor and industry conferences, and other matters. Such
information may be deemed material information, and QuickLogic may
use these channels to comply with its disclosure obligations under
Regulation FD. Therefore, investors should monitor the Company's
website and its social media accounts in addition to following the
Company's press releases, SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)
filings, public conference calls, and webcasts.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
QuickLogic reports financial information in accordance with
United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S.
GAAP, but believes that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in
evaluating its operating results and comparing its performance to
comparable companies. Accordingly, the Company excludes certain
charges related to stock-based compensation, in calculating
non-GAAP (i) loss from operations, (ii) net loss,
(iii) net loss per share, and (iv) gross margin
percentage. The Company provides this non-GAAP information to
enable investors to evaluate its operating results in a manner like
how the Company analyzes its operating results and to provide
consistency and comparability with similar companies in the
Company's industry.
Management uses the non-GAAP measures, which exclude gains,
losses and other charges that are considered by management to be
outside of the Company's core operating results, internally to
evaluate its operating performance against results in prior periods
and its operating plans and forecasts. In addition, the non-GAAP
measures are used to plan for the Company's future periods and
serve as a basis for the allocation of the Company's resources,
management of operations and the measurement of profit-dependent
cash and equity compensation paid to employees and executive
officers.
Investors should note, however, that the non-GAAP financial
measures used by QuickLogic may not be the same non-GAAP financial
measures and may not be calculated in the same manner as that of
other companies. QuickLogic does not itself, nor does it suggest
that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures
alone or as a substitute for financial information prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP financial
measures to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the
financial statements portion of this press release. Investors are
encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and
the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with their most
directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation,
expectations regarding our future business, and actual results may
differ due to a variety of factors including: delays in the market
acceptance of the Company's new products; the ability to convert
design opportunities into customer revenue; our ability to replace
revenue from end-of-life products; the level and timing of customer
design activity; the market acceptance of our customers' products;
the risk that new orders may not result in future revenue; our
ability to introduce and produce new products based on advanced
wafer technology on a timely basis; our ability to adequately
market the low power, competitive pricing and short time-to-market
of our new products; intense competition by competitors; our
ability to hire and retain qualified personnel; our ability to
capitalize on synergies with our subsidiary SensiML Corporation;
changes in product demand or supply; general economic conditions;
political events, international trade disputes, natural disasters
and other business interruptions that could disrupt supply or
delivery of, or demand for, the Company's products; the
unpredictable and ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
changes in tax rates and exposure to additional tax liabilities.
These and other potential factors and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the results
contemplated or implied are described in more detail in the
Company's public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), including the risks discussed in the "Risk
Factors" section in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K,
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in the Company's prior
press releases, which are available on the Company's Investor
Relations website at http://ir.quicklogic.com/, and on the SEC
website at www.sec.gov/. In addition, please note that the
date of this press release is May 16,

are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of
this date. We are not obliged to update these statements due to
