EVERSPIN TECHNOLOGIES INC

1. Organization and Operations

Everspin Technologies, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, “Everspin Technologies”, “Everspin”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 16, 2008. The Company’s magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) solutions offer the persistence of non-volatile memory with the speed and endurance of random access memory (RAM) and enable the protection of mission critical data particularly in the event of power interruption or failure. The Company’s MRAM solutions allow its customers in key markets, such as industrial, medical, automotive/transportation, aerospace, and data center, to design high performance, power-efficient and reliable systems without the need for bulky batteries or capacitors.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, fair value of assets and liabilities, inventory net realizable value, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, and stock-based compensation. The Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.

Segment Information

The Company’s MRAM technology solutions are sold as products and services through MRAM-based products, licenses and royalties of MRAM and magnetic sensor technology and backend foundry and design services. The Company identifies and manages the business activities inone reportable segment. Everspin’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM utilizes the Company’s long-range plan, which includes product development roadmaps and long-range financial models, as a key input to resource allocation. The CODM makes decisions on resource allocation, assesses performance of the business, and monitors budget versus actual results using net income.

Significant segment expenses within net income are those separately presented on the Company’s Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, which include cost of revenue, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with maturity dates of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consist solely of money market funds.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. Allowances would be provided for individual accounts receivable when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy, deterioration in the customer’s operating results or change in financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. The Company also considers a number of factors in evaluating the sufficiency of its allowance for doubtful accounts, including the length of time receivables are past due, significant one-time events, creditworthiness of customers and historical experience. Account balances would be charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s evaluation determined that no material allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The unbilled accounts receivable is an estimate of the unconditional consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled for uses of the Company’s intellectual property. The Company’s right is unconditional because nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of the amounts are due. Certain customers report on a lagged basis and actual information is not available timely. The estimates recorded are based on historical trends in the customer’s usage and current market conditions. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the unbilled accounts receivable balance was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company’s unbilled conditional consideration is recorded to a contract asset account included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets. The conditions to the Company’s right to the consideration can include a contractual requirement to satisfy a performance obligation that has not yet begun or for which performance is in process as of the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the unbilled contract asset balance was $0.5 million andnone, respectively.

The Company establishes an allowance for product returns. The Company analyzes historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand and acceptance of products when evaluating the adequacy of sales returns. Returns are processed as credits on future purchases and, as a result, the allowance is recorded against the balance of trade accounts receivable. In addition, the Company from time to time may establish an allowance for estimated price adjustments related to its distributor agreements. The Company estimates credits to distributors based on the historical rate of credits provided to distributors relative to sales and evaluation of current market conditions. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for product returns and price adjustments was $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following (in thousands):

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents that are held by a financial institution in the United States and accounts receivable. Amounts on deposit with a financial institution may at times exceed federally insured limits.

Significant customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or net accounts receivable balance at each respective balance sheet date. For the purposes of this disclosure, the Company defines “customer” as the entity that is purchasing the products or licenses directly from the Company, which includes the distributors of the Company’s products in addition to end customers that the Company sells to directly. For each significant customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable, net are as follows:

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out or specific identification method, or net realizable value. The carrying value of inventory is adjusted for excess and obsolescence based on the Company’s

evaluation which takes into consideration historical and expected future demand, the effect new products may have on the sale of existing products, technological obsolescence, and other factors including inventory age and shipment. At the point of loss recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that new cost basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. The framework for measuring fair value provides a three-tier hierarchy prioritizing inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1— Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2— Inputs, other than quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3— Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data requiring the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accruals readily convertible into cash approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist of Level 1 assets. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 assets consist of highly liquid money market funds that are included in cash equivalents.

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation begins at the time the asset is placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Amortization expense of assets acquired through finance leases is included in the statements of income and comprehensive income.

Intangible Assets, Net

The Company’s intangible assets are comprised of internally developed software and licensed software from third parties to be used in research and development activities that have alternative future use. Costs incurred to develop software for internal use during the application development phase are capitalized and amortized over such software’s estimated useful life. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal-use software are included in operating expenses as incurred. Licensed software is initially recorded at fair value based on the present value of the license fees to be paid over the term of the license, with a corresponding liability. The licensed software intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the license term or the economic life of the asset, beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use. The licensed software liability is accreted to its settlement amount using the effective interest method.

Leases

The Company leases office, lab, manufacturing space and equipment in various locations with initial lease terms of up toseven years. These leases require monthly lease payments thatmay be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. The terms of these leases also include renewal options at the election of the Company torenew orextend the lease for a range of an additionaltwo tofive years. These optional periods have not been considered in the determination of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities associated with these leases as the Company did not consider it reasonably certain it would exercise the options.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The classification of the Company’s leases as operating or finance leases along with the initial measurement and recognition of the associated ROU assets and lease liabilities is performed at the lease commencement date. The measurement of lease liabilities is based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments when its leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The ROU asset is based on the measurement of the lease liability, includes any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable. Lease expense for the Company’s operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Amortization expense for ROU assets associated with finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term and interest expense associated with finance leases is recognized on the balance of the lease liability using the effective interest method based on the estimated incremental borrowing rate.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for any leases involving real estate and office equipment classes of assets and, as a result, accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has elected to separate lease and non-lease components for any leases involving manufacturing facility classes of assets. Further, the Company elected the short-term lease exception policy, permitting it to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases with terms of 12 months or less (short-term leases) for all classes of assets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any short-term leases.

Operating leases are included in right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, and lease liabilities, net of current portion in the Company’s balance sheet. Finance leases are immaterial.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, leases, and intangible assets, at the asset group level, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in circumstances occur, for purposes of this assessment, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset group is expected to generate over its remaining life. If the asset group is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the

difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. There have beenno impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets during either of the periods presented.

Government Tax Credits, Incentives and Grants

From time to time, the Company may receive government funding in the form of tax credits, operating-related grants, capital-related grants, or other incentives to support various business activities, including capital development, research and development, and other activities as defined by the relevant government agency awarding the tax credit, incentive, or grant. The amount received is typically based on the amount of qualifying costs incurred. The Company typically has to meet certain requirements to retain the government funding. The Company records operating-related grants and non-income related tax credits as other income in the statements of income and comprehensive income when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Company will comply with the conditions specified in the grant agreement.

The Company received Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) refunds from the United States Treasury totaling $2.0 million, relating to the payroll periods from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021. The amounts were received pursuant to provisions within the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“Relief Act”), the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) which provide tax relief and other stimulus measures, including the ERTC. The ERTC program allows for employers to claim a refundable tax credit against a portion of the employer share of Social Security tax for qualified wages paid to employees from March 13, 2020 through September 30, 2021.

The Company recognized the $2.0 million tax credit within other income, net in the statements of income and comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 2023, which is when the amount was received and it was determined that those amounts were reasonably assured to be retained by the Company. The Company’s compliance with the program’s qualifications may be subject to audit through the year ended December 31, 2025, which is when the statute of limitation expires. The Company has received all expected ERTC refunds based on applications that have been submitted.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised products or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and price adjustments, and any taxes imposed on specific revenue-producing transactions, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Nature of Products and Services

The Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of MRAM-based products in discrete unit form, licenses of and royalties on its MRAM and magnetic sensor technology, the sale of backend foundry services and design services to third parties. Sales of products in discrete unit form are recognized at a point in time, revenue related to licensing agreements is recognized when the Company has delivered control of the technology, revenue related to royalty agreements is recognized in the period in which sales generated from products sold using the Company’s technology occurs, sales of backend foundry services are recognized over time, and design services to third parties are recognized either at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the services.

Product Revenue

For products sold in their discrete form, the Company either sells its products directly to OEMs, ODMs and CMs, or through a network of distributors, who in turn sell to those customers. For sales directly to OEMs, ODMs and CMs, revenue is recognized when the OEM, ODM or CM obtains control of the product, which occurs at a point in time, generally upon shipment to the customer. Contracts for sales of products are generally less than one year.

From time to time, the Company may provide distributors with price adjustments subsequent to the delivery of product to them and such amounts are dependent on the end customer and product sales price. Price adjustments can be based on a variety of factors, including customer, product, quantity, geography, and competitive differentiation. Price

protection rights grant distributors the right to a credit in the event of declines in the price of the Company’s products. Under these circumstances, the Company remits back to the distributor a portion of their original purchase price after the resale transaction is completed in the form of a credit against the distributors’ outstanding accounts receivable balance. The credits are on a per unit basis and are not given to the distributor until the distributor provides information regarding the sale to their end customer. The Company estimates these credits and record such estimates in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of an allowance for price adjustments for amounts due to distributors. The Company estimates credits to distributors based on the historical rate of credits provided to distributors relative to sales and evaluation of current market conditions. Revenue on shipments to distributors is recorded when control of the products has been transferred to the distributor.

The Company estimates the amount of our product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company estimates its product return liability by analyzing its historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand and acceptance of products. The Company has received insignificant returns to date and believes that returns of its products will continue to not be material.

Upon the transfer of control, generally at shipment, the Company records a trade receivable for the selling price as there is a legally enforceable obligation of the distributor to pay for the product delivered, an allowance is recorded for the estimated discount that will be provided to the distributor, and the net of these amounts is recorded as revenue on the statements of income and comprehensive income.

License Revenue

For licenses of technology, recognition of revenue is dependent upon whether the Company has delivered rights to the technology, and whether there are future performance obligations under the contract. In some instances, the license agreements call for future events or activities to occur in order for milestones amounts to become due from the customer. The terms of such agreements include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable upfront fees; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Historically, these license agreements have not included other future performance obligations for the Company once the license has been transferred to the customer.

Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the Company has no other performance obligations.

The Company entered into a contractual agreement with a customer in 2021 for the development of a RAD-Hard product, consisting of a technology license, a design license agreement and development contract, and separate contractual agreements with a customer in 2023 and 2024 for the development of a strategic radiation hardened field programmable gate array product, consisting of a technology license to provide design and development services under the contractual agreement. The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company concluded these contractual arrangements represent one arrangement and evaluated its promises to the customer and whether the performance obligations granted under the arrangement were distinct. The licenses provided to the customer are not transferable, are of limited value without the promised development services, and the customer cannot benefit from the license agreements without the specific obligated services in the development subcontract, as there is strong interdependence between the licenses and the development subcontract. Accordingly, the Company determined the licenses were not distinct within the context of the contract and combined the license with other performance obligations.

As a result, the Company is recognizing revenue related to the performance obligations over the duration of the contract using the input method based on costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs of the contract over the contract period.

Royalties

Revenue from sales-based royalties from licenses of the Company’s technology are recognized at the later of when (1) the sale occurs or (2) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based royalty has been allocated is satisfied (in whole or in part). The Company will record an unbilled receivable (within accounts receivable, net) for the portion of sales-based royalties that have been earned but not invoiced at the end of each reporting period.

Other Revenue

For certain revenue streams, the Company recognizes revenue based on the pattern of transfer of the services. The Company uses the input method of measuring costs incurred to date compared to total estimated costs to be incurred under the contract as this method most faithfully depicts its performance. The Company will record an unbilled receivable (within accounts receivable, net) for the portion of the work that has been completed but not invoiced at the end of each reporting period.

At the inception of each agreement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price by using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability or achievement of each such milestone and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net primarily consists of interest income and expense, a strategic award, realized gains and losses on sale of assets, and gains and losses on foreign currency transactions.

Product Warranty

The Company generally sells products with a limited warranty of product quality and a limited indemnification of customers against intellectual property infringement claims related to the Company’s products. The Company accrues for known warranty and indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated and accrues for estimated losses incurred for unidentified issues based on historical experience. A warranty liability was not recorded at December 31, 2024 and 2023, as the estimated future warranty costs were not material based on the Company’s historical experience.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses are incurred in support of internal development programs or as part of the Company’s joint development agreement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES (see Note 10). Research and development expenses include personnel-related costs (including stock-based compensation), circuit design costs, purchases of materials and laboratory supplies, fabrication and packaging of experimental integrated circuit products, amortization of certain intangible assets, depreciation of research and development related capital equipment and overhead and are expensed as incurred.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation arrangements include stock option grants and restricted stock unit (RSU) awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans, as well as shares issued under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), through which employees may purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount to the market price.

The Company uses RSUs with a service condition as its primary equity incentive compensation instrument for employees. Share-based compensation expense for RSUs is measured on the grant date based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and is recognized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The Company measures its stock option grants based on the estimated fair value of the options as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense for stock option grants is recognized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Expected volatility. The Company determines the expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of its common stock. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the technology industry similar in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. If circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar, the Company will revise its peer group to substitute more suitable companies in this calculation.

Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield with a maturity equal to the expected term of the option in effect at the time of grant.

Expected term. The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company used the simplified method to determine the expected term, which is calculated as the average of the time to vesting and the contractual life of the options.

Dividend yield. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes benefits of uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained upon examination based solely on their technical merits, as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense or benefit.

Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period less shares subject to repurchase, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method by dividing net income by the total weighted average shares of common stock outstanding in addition to the potential impact of dilutive securities including restricted stock units, warrants, and options. In periods with a net loss, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share since the effect of potentially dilutive securities is anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280*) –*Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU also expands disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to better understand the entity’s measurement and assessment of segment performance and resource allocation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not change the way that the Company identifies its single reportable segment and, as a result, did not have a material impact on the Company’s segment-related disclosures. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer who reviews financial information for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance for the entire Company.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09*, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which is intended to improve an entity’s income tax disclosures, primarily through disaggregated information about an entity’s effective income tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures regarding income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the statement of operations, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial statements.

The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact to the financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated events after December 31, 2024, and through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined any events or transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these financial statements.

3. Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income Components

The estimates are based on historical trends in the customer’s activity and current market conditions. The amounts are reported in licensing, royalty, patent and other revenue in the statements of income and comprehensive income.

The Company recognizes revenue by geography based on the region in which its products are sold, and not to where the end products in which they are assembled are shipped. Revenue by region for the periods indicated was as follows (in thousands):

Other Income, Net

On August 14, 2024, the Company received a strategic award to develop a long-term plan to provide manufacturing services for aerospace and defense segments (the Award). Under the Award, the Company will provide a plan to mitigate risks to its MRAM manufacturing supply chain. Pursuant to the Award, the Company may receive cash payments upon the achievement of certain technical tasks and deliverables. The Award allows for milestones totaling up to approximately $14.6 million for the Company over a span of 2.5 years.

The Award is not in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and hence not a contract with a customer. The Company has applied the revenue recognition principles under ASC 606 by analogy.

The Company records the total consideration from the Award as other income using an input method based on costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs of the Award over its term. Amounts invoiced in excess of income recognized are recorded as a contract obligations liability on the balance sheets. This liability represents the Company’s obligation to perform future services for which the Company has received or is entitled to receive payment but which are not yet fulfilled. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has invoiced $8.1 million related to this Award of whichno balance is outstanding as of December 31, 2024. The contract obligations liability was $2.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company recorded $6.1 million of other income related to this Award in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Deferred Revenue

In the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company executed a contractual arrangement with a customer for the development of a strategic radiation hardened field programmable gate array product. The total consideration in the arrangement is $1.8 million. The Company is recognizing revenue related to the performance obligation over time using the input method based on costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs of the contract and began recognizing revenue in the third quarter of 2024. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has billed $1.6 million for the performance under the agreement and has recognized $1.5 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, with the difference of $0.1 million recorded in deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize the remaining $0.1 million of the transaction price as services are performed throughout the contractual period and performance is expected to be complete in the year ended December 31, 2025.

In the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company executed a contractual arrangement with a customer for the development of a strategic radiation hardened high-reliability eMRAM macro. The total consideration in the arrangement is $1.2 million. The Company is recognizing revenue related to the performance obligation over time using the input method based on costs incurred to date relative to the total expected costs of the contract and began recognizing revenue in the third quarter of 2024. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has billed $1.2 million for the performance under the agreement and has recognized $1.1 million in revenue, with the difference of $0.1 million in recorded in deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize the remaining $0.1 million of the transaction price as services are performed throughout the contractual period and performance is expected to be complete in the year ended December 31, 2025.

In 2021, the Company executed contractual arrangements with a customer for the development of a RAD-Hard product, consisting of a technology license, design license agreement and development subcontract (RAD-Hard 1). The Company does not share in the rights to future revenues or royalties. The total arrangements are for $6.5 million in consideration.

The Company concluded these contractual arrangements represent one arrangement and evaluated its promises to the customer and whether the performance obligations granted under the arrangement were distinct. The licenses provided to the customer are not transferable, are of limited value without the promised development services, and the customer cannot benefit from the license agreements without the specific obligated services in the development subcontract, as there is strong interdependence between the licenses and the development subcontract. Accordingly, the Company determined the licenses were not distinct within the context of the contract and combined the license with other performance obligations. The total transaction price of $6.5 million was allocated to the single performance obligation.

10. Significant Agreements

GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Inc. Joint Development Agreement

Since October 17, 2014, the Company has participated in a joint development agreement (JDA) with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF), a semiconductor foundry, for the joint development of STT-MRAM technology to produce a family of discrete and embedded MRAM technologies. The term of the agreement is until the completion, termination, or expiration of the last statement of work entered into pursuant to the joint development agreement. The agreement was extended on December 31, 2019 to include a new phase of support for 12nm MRAM development.

Under the current JDA extension terms, each party licenses its relevant intellectual property to the other party. For certain jointly developed works, the parties have agreed to follow an invention allocation procedure to determine ownership. In addition, GF possesses the exclusive right to manufacture the Company’s discrete and embedded STT-MRAM devices developed pursuant to the agreement until the earlier ofthree years after the qualification of the MRAM device for a particular technology node orfour years after the completion of the relevant statement of work under which the device was developed. For the same exclusivity period associated with the relevant device, GF agreed not to license intellectual property developed in connection with the JDA to named competitors of the Company.

If GF manufactures, sells, or transfers to customers wafers containing production quantified STT-MRAM devices that utilize certain design information, GF will be required to pay the Company a royalty.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s provision for income tax consisted of (in thousands):

The reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets are as follows (in thousands):

The Company is required to reduce its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management must use judgment in assessing the potential need for a valuation allowance, which requires an evaluation of both negative and positive evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. In determining the need for and amount of the valuation allowance, if any, the Company assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets using historical levels of income, estimates of future income and tax planning strategies. As a result of projected taxable income, the Company determined that, based on all available evidence, there was substantial certainty as to whether it will recover recorded net deferred taxes for certain state jurisdictions in future periods. However, as it pertains to the federal, Arizona, and Colorado net deferred tax assets, based on all the available evidence, there is substantial uncertainty as to whether it will recover recorded net deferred taxes in future periods. Accordingly, the Company recorded a partial valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net valuation allowance increased by $3.6 million in 2024, as reflected below (in thousands).

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $89.2 million, of which $53.2 million will expire in 2030 through 2037 if not utilized, and $36.0 million that will carryover indefinitely. In addition, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $48.3 million, of which $45.5 million will expire in 2030 through 2040 if not utilized, and $2.8 million that will carryover indefinitely.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the Act) provides for a limitation on the annual use of net operating loss carryforwards following certain ownership changes (as defined by the Act and codified under IRC Section 382) that could limit the Company’s ability to utilize these carryforwards. Further, a portion of the carryforwards may expire before utilized to reduce future income tax liabilities as a result of the annual limitation. The Company experienced an ownership change in October 2016 and as a result, $43.8 million ($9.2 million tax effected) of the federal NOLs are expected to expire unutilized due to limitation under IRC Section 382. Consistent with prior years, the NOLs expected to expire unutilized are included in the NOL carryforward amounts disclosed, subject to a valuation allowance.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is generally subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examination for all tax years beginning in 2008, due to the net operating losses that are carried forward.

A summary of changes in the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024, are $0.1 million of tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Included in the balance of uncertain tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 is $1.3 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to deferred taxes.

The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefit as a component of income tax expense. The Company has accrued penalties and interest of $0.2 million, as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023.

On October 8, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released a statement on the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, which agreed to a two-pillar solution to address tax challenges of the digital economy. On December 20, 2021, the OECD released the Model GloBE Rules for Pillar Two defining a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations. The OECD continues to release additional guidance and countries are implementing legislation with widespread adoption of the Model GloBE Rules for Pillar Two expected by calendar year 2024. The Company is continuing to evaluate the Model GloBE Rules for Pillar Two and related legislation, and their potential impact on future periods, but does not expect it to have a material impact.
