Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a leader in transforming the way radio frequency, or RF, front-ends are being designed and delivered for mobile handset and wireless devices, has provided a business update and announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Management Commentary “We’ve continued to execute upon all of our key milestones year to date, most notably, the second contractual milestone with the largest RF filter manufacturer in the world—our strategic partner—for the development of our XBAR 5G RF filters in mobile devices,” said George B. Holmes, Chairman and CEO of Resonant. “The achievement of this significant milestone confirms our technology meets the necessary metrics to move towards mass production, while also providing an influx of pre-paid royalties which will be recognized over the contract period.

“In addition, our high-performance XBAR 5G filters were successfully manufactured on two additional standard Surface Acoustic Wave, or SAW, front-end manufacturing processes, bringing the total to six, which fundamentally validates Resonant’s ability to produce these high frequency 5G filters faster, better and cheaper. Traditional high-performance Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filter processes are complex, requiring many processing steps. However, XBAR, which provides high performance and wide bandwidth, and is a BAW device, can be manufactured using much simpler and more cost-effective SAW manufacturing lines.”

Holmes concluded: “Today, we stand in a better position than ever to capitalize on the multi-billion dollar 5G market. Not only are we validating our 5G go-to-market strategy with the progress demonstrated in meeting the development milestone for XBAR, but we are increasing unit shipment volumes with our customers, providing new library designs to customers that are otherwise impossible and growing revenues.”

Operational Highlights

  • Achieved the second 5G Mobile XBAR® RF filter milestone with the world’s largest RF filter manufacturer, which confirmed target performance, packaging and initial reliability, approving the move to the next phase of the Agreement, which focuses on building a commercial platform & high-volume manufacturing.
  • Over 4.1 million units utilizing Resonant’s technology were shipped in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 163% when compared to the 1.55 million units shipped in the same year-ago quarter. Resonant’s customers have shipped over 46.5 million units designed with the company’s technology to-date.
  • Resonant shipped five RF filter designs focused on 4G to its Chinese customers in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Successfully manufactured RF filters for 5G with two additional foundry partners using a standard SAW front-end process, an industry first. The Resonant 5G RF filter was designed for the non-mobile n79 5G band, which pertains to applications such as infrastructure and automotive, among others.
  • Announced existing Tier 1 filter customer commenced shipments of high-value band designs into the above-average ASP automotive market, which facilitates immediate billings.
  • Released a new extension to its Process Monitoring Tool (PMTx), which models and measures the fabrication processes of Temperature-Compensated Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW) filter technologies for both Thick SiO2 and Bonded Wafers.
  • Hosted two successful 5G public webinars – a thought leadership event with over 300 investment professionals and media in attendance.
  • The event featured Resonant’s Advisory Board, which has approximately 250 years of combined industry experience, who participated in numerous 5G fireside chats designed to help investors better understand the current state of 5G and the technology roadmap for 5G deployments.•  Expert Insights on Unlocking the Potential of 5G•  The Technology Enabling the Transition to 5G
  • The Company’s patent portfolio has continued to grow to over 250 patents filed and issued, 90 of which are related the Resonant’s 5G XBAR technology.
  • Appointed Glen Riley, a global technology industry leader with over 32 years of experience, to the Company’s Advisory Board.

Note about Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresA non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.

In addition to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and adding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of net loss, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is an integral part of the Company’s internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, is available in the accompanying financial tables below. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

About Resonant’s ISN® TechnologyResonant can create designs for difficult bands, modules and other complex RF Front End requirements that we believe have the potential to be manufactured for half the cost and developed in half the time of traditional approaches. ISN is a suite of proprietary mathematical methods, software design tools and network synthesis techniques that enable us to explore a much larger set of possible design solutions that regularly incorporate our proprietary technology. We then quickly deliver design simulations to our customers, which they manufacture or have manufactured by one of our foundry partners. These improved solutions still use Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or Temperature Compensated Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW) manufacturing methods and perform as well as those using higher cost manufacturing methods such as Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW). Resonant's method delivers excellent predictability, enabling achievement of the desired product performance in roughly half as many turns through the fab. In addition, because Resonant's models are fundamental, integration with its foundry and fab customers is seamless because its models speak the "fab language" of basic material properties and dimensions.
