Current report
Research and development expense increased $1.6 million to $54.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $52.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was driven by increases in bonuses of $9.2 million and stock-based compensation of $2.3 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in payroll and benefits expense of $4.9 million, CAD software license costs of $2.8 million, and consulting, prototype, occupancy and other miscellaneous expenses of $2.2 million. The increase in stock-based compensation is due to incremental grants made to employees for retention purposes. The increase in bonuses is due to improved financial performance over the prior period.

Research and development expense decreased $18.7 million to $102.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $121.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was driven by decreases in payroll and benefits expense of $13.9 million and CAD design tools expenses of $4.9 million, plus the impact of an increase to income from joint R&D projects and government grants of $2.9 million offset against R&D expense, consulting expense of $2.6 million, occupancy expense of $0.9 million, and supplies, small tools and other miscellaneous expenses of $0.4 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in bonuses of $5.2 million and stock-based compensation of $1.8 million. The decrease in payroll and benefits, CAD design tools, consulting, occupancy and supplies, small tools and other miscellaneous expenses are due to our prior workforce reductions and other cost reduction measures. The increase in income from joint R&D projects and government grants is due to new governmental R&D grants. The amount of income from research and development funded by others also varies from period to period depending on availability of such funding, including governmental grants. The increase in stock-based compensation and bonuses is due to incremental grants made to employees for retention purposes in the fourth quarter of 2024 and improved performance over the prior period.

Previous wording
In the six months ended June 30, 2025, net revenue was $204.7 million, which was derived in part from sales of RF receivers and RF receiver SOC and connectivity solutions into broadband operator voice and data modems and gateways and connectivity adapters, global analog and digital RF receiver products, radio and modem solutions into wireless carrier access and backhaul infrastructure platforms, high-speed optical interconnect solutions sold into optical modules for data-center, metro and long-haul networks, and high-performance interface and power management solutions into a broad range of communications, industrial, automotive and multi-market applications. We are currently experiencing a recovery in sales demand across our broadband and connectivity end markets following a period of decreased demand resulting from excess inventory in the channels as well as slower demand in regions such as China. Geopolitical tensions and changing trade policies, including escalating tariffs between the United States and China, and other countries, continue to influence the semiconductor industry as well as the global economy. While tariffs do not directly apply to our products, we are monitoring the impacts of current or impending tariffs on our customers and supply chain and making adjustments as needed. The magnitude of the impact of escalating tariffs and geopolitical tensions is currently unknown, but such factors could hamper continued recovery of total revenues and diminish our efforts to return to meaningful growth in total revenues. We continue to develop and innovate with new products for new solutions in advanced semiconductor process nodes such as 16nm and 5nm and beyond, while addressing opportunities capturing and processing high quality broadband communications and high-speed optical interconnect signals.

Our subsidiary in Singapore operates under certain tax incentives in Singapore, which are effective through March 2027. Under these incentives, qualifying income derived from certain sales of our integrated circuits is taxed at a concessionary rate over the incentive period. We also receive a reduced withholding tax rate on certain intercompany royalty payments made by our Singapore subsidiary during the incentive period. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our Singapore deferred tax assets. Due to this Singapore valuation allowance position, no income tax provision was recorded in Singapore for the six months ended June 30, 2025. We recorded income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2024 at the incentive rate. The incentives are conditional upon our meeting certain minimum employment and investment thresholds within Singapore over time, and we may be required to return certain tax benefits in the event we do not achieve compliance related to that incentive period. We currently believe that we will be able to satisfy these conditions without material risk.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $108.6 million, restricted cash of $1.6 million and net accounts receivable of $105.8 million. Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, our working capital, which we define as current assets less current liabilities, was $116.7 million. Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Collateral is generally not required for customer receivables. We limit our exposure to credit loss by placing our cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Commencing on September 30, 2021, the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement has amortized in equal quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement, with the balance payable on June 23, 2028. We could be subject to substantial variable interest rate risk because our interest rate under term loans typically vary based on a fixed margin over an indexed rate or an adjusted base rate. While we had been mitigating the impact of high interest rates with large amounts of prepayments on our outstanding debt, if interest rates were to further increase substantially, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and could affect our ability to service the indebtedness. Please refer to the Risk Factor entitled “As of June 30, 2025, our aggregate indebtedness was $125.0 million, and we are subject to a variable amount of interest on the principal balance of our credit agreements and could continue to be adversely impacted by high interest rates in the future. Such indebtedness adversely affects our operating results and cash-flows as we satisfy our underlying interest and principal payment obligations and contains financial and operational covenants that could adversely affect our operational freedom or ability to pursue strategic transactions that we would otherwise consider to be in the best interests of stockholders, including obtaining additional indebtedness to finance such transactions. In addition, high interest rates may make it more difficult for us, our customers, and our distributors to obtain financing and service our respective interest and debt obligations, which in turn has an impact on customer demand for our products and our distributors’ business” for a discussion of how our indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.
