ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Previous wording
As of June 30, 2026, we had 364 employees and offices in eleven locations in the United States, France, China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Poland. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we generated revenue of $24.1 million, net loss of $14.1 million, and net loss per share, basic and diluted of $0.30. As of June 30, 2026, we had Annual Contract Value (as defined below) and Annual Contract Value plus royalties of $90.9 million and $99.5 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we had 26 Confirmed Design Starts (as defined below).
Current wording
As of September 30, 2026, we had 373 employees and offices in eleven locations in the United States, France, China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Poland. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, we generated revenue of $25.8 million, net loss of $11.2 million, and net loss per share, basic and diluted, of $0.23. As of September 30, 2026, we had Annual Contract Value (as defined below) and Annual Contract Value plus royalties of $94.4 million and $103.8 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we had 22 Confirmed Design Starts (as defined below).
Previous wording
Our revenue from period to period can be impacted by the terms of the agreements we enter into with our customers. As a result of how these contracts are structured and the revenue is recognized, our revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 may not be comparable to future periods if we do not enter into similar contractual agreements. Further, a meaningful percentage of our revenue is generated through royalty payments. Because the time between a new license agreement win and the customer’s end product being sold can be substantial, with sales of the end product being subject to a number of factors outside our control, our revenue from royalties is difficult to predict. As a result of the foregoing, revenue may fluctuate significantly from period to period and any increase or decrease in such revenue may not be indicative of future period-to-period increases or decreases.

In order to address rapid technological developments and expand our offerings, we have invested significantly in our research and development efforts. These investments, which continue to include growth in engineering headcount, have resulted in substantially increased research and development expenses. As we continue to invest in our technology and new product design efforts, we anticipate research and development expense will continue to increase on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue in the near term. In the medium to longer term, however, while we expect to increase our research and development expense on an absolute basis, we expect this expense to reduce as a percentage of revenue.

We believe our products’ global footprint provides us with the opportunity to enter new markets and accelerate our growth. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, 58.4% of our revenue was derived from sales to customers outside of the United States and 23.2% of our revenue was derived from customers located in China. For 2025, 60.3% of our revenue was derived from sales to customers outside of the United States and 24.5% of our revenue was derived from customers located in China. While we believe operating internationally has beneficially impacted our results of operations, we are subject to inherent risks attributed to operating in a global economy. Further, our international operations have been, and may in the future continue to be, subject to restrictive government regulations. For example, U.S. export regulations, including regulations announced on October 7, 2022 (as further amended), that impose broad end-use and other restrictions on doing business with certain customers and facilities in China that develop or produce semiconductor chips or manufacturing equipment, may limit or adversely impact our ability to license or support our products to entities in or doing business with certain advanced AI or “supercomputer” design companies, foundries and manufacturers of assemblies and components in China. As a result of these restrictions, our customers may experience changes to or delays in their design projects, and we may face challenges to maintain our revenue and/or our revenue may decrease. Additionally, changes in legislation and regulation as well as the implementation of executive orders and other actions in the United States and other countries, including new trade policies and the imposition of tariffs, may increase costs or make it more difficult to export our products to certain countries.

We define Annual Contract Value (ACV) for an individual customer agreement as the total fixed fees under the agreement divided by the number of years in the agreement term. Our total ACV is the aggregate ACVs for all our customers as measured at a given point in time. Total fixed fees include licensing, support and maintenance and other fixed fees under IP licensing or software licensing agreements but exclude variable revenue derived from licensing agreements with customers, particularly royalties. ACV was $90.9 million and $63.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, total ACV plus royalties was $99.5 million and $69.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. ACV plus royalties is calculated based on ACV and the trailing-twelve-months variable royalties and other revenue. We monitor ACV to measure our success and believe the increase in the number shows our progress in expanding our customers’ adoption of our platform. We believe ACV provides investors with useful information to assess the strength and trajectory of our business as growth demonstrates the expansion of customer adoption of our platform. ACV fluctuates due to a number of factors, including the timing, duration and dollar amount of customer contracts.

We define Confirmed Design Starts as when customers confirm their commencement of new semiconductor designs using our interconnect IP and notify us. Confirmed Design Starts is a metric management uses to assess the activity level of our customers in terms of the number of new semiconductor designs that are started using our interconnect IP in a given period. Our interconnect IP and NoC interface IP customer base contributed to a total of 26 and 25 design starts during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We believe that the number of Confirmed Design Starts is an important indicator of the growth of our business and future royalty revenue trends.

Application Engineering Support Services are integral and fundamental to the customer’s ability to derive its intended benefit from the IP. Besides Application Engineering Support Services, support and maintenance services also consist of a stand-ready obligation to provide technical support and software updates over the support term. Generally, the first year of technical support and software updates are bundled with and into the license fee with a customer option to renew additional years of support throughout the license term. However, we typically continue to provide technical support and software updates throughout the license term even if the customer does not renew these services in subsequent years, making the license term and support and maintenance term co-terminus.

Our hardware security verification software product arrangements provide customers the right to software licenses, software updates and technical support. The software licenses are time-based licenses with terms generally ranging from one to three years and generally provide the customer with limited rights to receive certain quantities of licensed software. In addition to the licenses, the arrangements also include: support and maintenance services, provided by Application Engineering Support Services, which includes providing frequent updates and upgrades to maintain the utility of the software due to rapid changes in technology. Updates are generally made available throughout the entire term of the arrangement. The updates provide continued access to evolving technology as customers’ designs migrate to more advanced nodes and as customers’ technological requirements evolve. We concluded that our hardware security verification software product licenses are not distinct from our obligation to provide unspecified software updates to the licensed software throughout the license term. Such updates represent inputs to a single, combined performance obligation, commencing upon the later of the arrangement effective date or transfer of control to the software license, leading to ratable recognition of the related license revenue over the contract term.

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act for the adoption of certain accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. See Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included on our 2025 Form 10-K. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
