Current report

In October 2024, the Company began applying the equity method of accounting for its related party investment, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under ASC 323, an investor must use the equity method when it has significant influence over the investee, typically indicated by ownership of 20% to 50% of the voting stock or other qualitative factors (e.g. board representation). The Company holds a 13.5% ownership stake in the investment and as part of the October 2024 transaction, received the option to appoint a representative to the investee’s board of directors. As a result, the Company remeasured its investment to its fair value of $5.55 per share as of the change in accounting and recognized its proportionate share of the investee’s earnings and losses for the period from November through December 2024, resulting in a net gain of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This amount is included in “Equity method investment gain” on the Statements of Operations.

Current report

Interest income (expense), net primarily consists of interest associated with our royalty agreement.

Current report

Dividend income consist of income earned on money market treasury funds that are recorded as cash equivalents.

Current report

Research and development expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 of $76.0 million increased by $7.2 million, or 10%, when compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by an increase in product and package development as it relates to EV, enterprise and solar, coupled with a one-time $1.7 million project expense, a $2.0 million other asset impairment, as well as other R&D material purchases.

Current report

Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 of $18.9 million increased by $0.1 million, or 1%, when compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Amortization of intangible assets remained fairly consistent as we did not acquire new intangible assets.

Current report

We announced a cost-reduction plan (“2024 Restructuring Plan”). The 2024 Restructuring Plan includes a reduction in headcount with the majority of the costs consisting of employee severance and benefits. We incurred $1.2 million related to this plan for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

Net interest income (expense), net for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 of $(0.2) million compared to income of $1.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The $0.2 million expense as of December 31, 2024 is primarily due to interest associated with our royalty agreement. The $1.3 million interest income in 2023 was due the interest rate received on money markets funds.

Current report

Dividend income consists of income earned on our money market treasury funds that are recorded as cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Increase of $1.2 million in dividend income from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 is primarily due to the timing of when we transferred money into our money market treasury funds. As a result, the prior-year figure reflects only nine months of activity compared to twelve months in the current year.

Current report

Income tax benefit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $0.3 million while for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, income tax benefit was $0.5 million. We expect our tax rate to remain close to zero in the near term due to full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets.

Current report

In October 2024, we began applying the equity method to account for our joint venture investment. We adjusted the investment to its fair value of $5.55 per share as of the accounting change and recognized our proportionate share of the joint venture’s loss from the period November through December 2024, resulting in a net gain of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $58.8 million, which primarily reflects a net loss of $84.6 million, adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation of $43.0 million, non-cash gains of $40.5 million in earnout and our equity investment due to changes in fair value, $7.9 million of non-cash bonus accruals, $7.7 million for our allowance for credit losses, a $2.0 million impairment of other asset, and an aggregate cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $1.9 million. Specifically, the changes reflect a $2.8 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued compensation and other accrued expenses, $11.0 million decrease in customer deposit and deferred revenue, $1.7 million decrease in operating lease liability, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, $6.8 million decrease in inventories, a decrease of $0.6 million in other assets, and a $2.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Current report

We utilize the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our financial statements. In addition to our critical accounting policies below, see Note 2 - “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Current report

We account for awards of stock-based compensation under our employee stock-based compensation plan using the fair value method. Accordingly, we estimate fair value of our stock-based awards and amortized this fair value to stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period or vesting terms.

Current report

RSUs- The fair value per unit of each RSU grant award is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Current report

LTIPs - The fair value for each tranche of the Long-term Incentive Plan Stock Option (“LTIP”) awards was determined using Black-Scholes model and a Monte Carlo simulation estimated at the initial grant date. We utilized the services of a professional valuation firm to develop the grant date fair value. The LTIP awards vest based on the achievement of certain market (stock price hurdles) and performance conditions (revenue and/or EBITDA targets). During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the LTIP awards require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment in determining the timing and amount of the recognition of the awards. The most significant assumptions and judgments include management’s forecasts related to award performance conditions, including whether certain performance conditions are probable. Awards are not recognized until they are deemed to be probable to vest, and awards may be derecognized if they are determined to be no longer probable.
Removed paragraphs (17)

Previous report

Interest income primarily consists of interest earned from our cash on hand.

Previous report

Interest expense primarily consists of interest under our term loan facility, held during the fiscal year 2022. The term loan was paid off as of December 31, 2023.

Previous report

Research and development expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 of $68.8 million increased by $18.5 million, or 37%, when compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by increases of $7.0 million in stock based compensation and payroll due to growth in headcount as the Company develops new products. We expect research and development expense to continue to increase as we grow our headcount to continue our diversification into new applications.

Previous report

Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 of $18.8 million increased by $11.9 million, or 172%, when compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to having a full year of amortization expense in 2023 compared to 2022, as a result of business acquisitions that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Previous report

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 of $5.4 million compared to expense of $1.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to higher interest earned on cash equivalents.

Previous report

Income tax benefit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 was $0.5 million while for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, income tax benefit was $22.8 million. As a result of the GeneSiC Semiconductor Inc. acquisition in 2022, (see Note 17, Business Combinations), the Company released $20.5 million of its U.S. federal valuation allowance . The release was primarily attributable to the $23.1 million of net federal deferred tax liability recorded on GeneSiC’s opening balance sheet that is available to offset most of the U.S. federal deferred tax assets of Navitas. As of December 31, 2023, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets as the Company believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be fully realized.

Previous report

For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was$44.5 million, which primarily reflects net income of$72.9 million, adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation of$63.3 million and non-cash, non-operating losses of $173.5 million in earnout and warrant liabilities due to changes in fair value and an aggregate cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $2.7 million. Specifically, $1.3 million decrease in account receivable, $4.7 million increase in inventory, and $7.1 million increase in accounts payable, due to increased sales, partially offset by $1.1 million decrease in operating lease liability.

Previous report

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 of$5.8 million was primarily the result of$6.9 million repayment of debt, partially offset by $1.7 million from the issuance of common stock in connection with option exercises.

Previous report

Prior to the Business Combination, there was no public market for our common stock and the estimated fair value of our common stock was historically determined by our board of directors, with input from management, and considering our most recently available third-party valuation of our common stock. The board of directors determined fair value at the time of grant of the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including financing investment rounds, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of share capital and general and industry specific economic outlook, among other factors. These third-party valuations were performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The fair value of our common stock was derived by first determining the equity value of our company. The equity value of our company was historically determined using the market approach by reference to the closest round of equity financing, if any, preceding the date of valuation and analysis of the trading values of publicly traded companies deemed comparable to us. In allocating the equity value of our company among various classes of stock, we used an option pricing model (“OPM”). The OPM takes into account our classes of equity, dividend policy and conversion rights to determine how proceeds from a liquidity event shall be distributed among the various ownership classes at a future date. The OPM arrives at a final estimated fair value per share of the common stock before a discount for lack of marketability is applied.

Previous report

Beginning with the common stock valuation as of February 2021 and for all subsequent valuations prior to the Business Combination, the equity value of our company was determined using the probability weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) approach, which assigns a probability or weighting to valuations determined under distinct scenarios. The February 12, 2021 valuation incorporated two scenarios under the PWERM method. The first scenario is a stay-private scenario in which the estimated current enterprise value was allocated to the various securities using an OPM, reflecting the rights and preferences for each security (i.e., convertible notes, preferred equity, common equity, options and warrants). The second scenario was a form of PWERM in which a single future exit event, a near-term IPO, was assumed. Under this scenario the future total enterprise value at the near-term IPO date was allocated to various equity and equity-linked securities using a common stock equivalent method reflecting as-converted common stock equivalents for each security class, since, upon an IPO, these outstanding equity-linked securities will convert into common stock. The future value of each security is then discounted to the valuation date.

Previous report

In addition to considering the results of these third-party valuations, we considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock as of each grant date. The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management’s best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment, including the probability and timing of liquidity events. As a result, if we had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our common stock and our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different. The fair value of the Company’s common stock ranged from $1.16 per share in the second half of 2020 to $10.53 per share as of August 25, 2021, the date of the most recent contemporaneous valuation report prior to the Business Combination.

Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when our performance obligation is satisfied), which is defined by the commercial terms of each purchase but typically occurs at shipment. In determining whether control has transferred, we consider if there is a present right to payment and legal title, and whether risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report for additional discussion of our revenue recognition policy.

Previous wording

We assess inventory to address potential obsolescence and declining values through periodic assessments, considering factors like aging analysis, known risks, and assumptions about future demand. Identified impaired inventory items are adjusted to reflect net realizable values. The valuation of inventory requires management to make significant assumptions and subjective judgments about the future salability of the inventory and the value of obsolete and unmarketable inventory. These assumptions include the assessment of market conditions and trends, sales forecasts, historic usage, expected demand, anticipated sales price, new product development schedules, product obsolescence, customer design activity, customer concentrations, product merchantability and other factors. For example, we adjust our inventory reserve for items that are considered obsolete based on changes in customer demand or new product introductions that may eliminate the demand for such products.

Current wording

We assess inventory to address potential obsolescence and declining values through periodic assessments, considering factors including estimates for future demand and net realizable value. Identified impaired inventory items are adjusted to reflect net realizable values. Changes in assumptions of product demand, the future salability of inventory, and the net realizable value of obsolete and unmarketable inventory could have a significant impact on the amount of the reserve recorded. These assumptions include the assessment of market conditions and trends, expected demand inclusive of sales forecasts, anticipated sales and market prices, and product obsolescence.

Previous wording

The fair value of stock option awards to employees and, prior to the Business Combination, restricted stock awards to non-employees with service based vesting conditions is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and for awards with market conditions, incorporate Monte Carlo simulations. The value of an award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period in the consolidated statements of operations. The option pricing model requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment in determining fair value of the awards. The most significant assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate and expected term of the award, in addition to the fair value of the underlying common stock. We have also granted long term performance stock options (“LTIP Options”) to certain members of senior management. These options vest in increments subject to certain market and performance conditions over the duration of the defined service period. We have utilized the services of a professional valuation firm to develop the Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporating Monte Carlo simulations for these option awards.

Current wording

ESPP- We currently use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) awards and amortize the expense over the requisite service period. The ESPP awards require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment in determining the fair value of the awards. The most significant assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate and expected term of the award, in addition to the fair value of the underlying common stock.

Current wording

Certain shareholders of the Company are eligible to receive up to 10,000,000 Earnout Shares of the Company's Class A common stock, contingent upon the fulfillment of Earnout Milestones. These milestones consist of three distinct criteria, with each criterion granting eligible stockholders 3,333,333 earn-out shares upon meeting the specified conditions. Each Earnout Milestone is deemed achieved if, at any time within 150 days following the Business Combination and before October 19, 2026, the volume-weighted average price of the Company's Class A common stock reaches or exceeds $12.50, $17.00, or $20.00 for any twenty trading days within a thirty trading day period, respectively.

Previous wording

These earnout shares have been categorized into two components: (i) the “Vested Shares” - those associated with stockholders with vested equity at the closing of the Business Combination that will be earned upon achievement of the Earnout Milestones and (ii) the “Unvested Shares” - those associated with stockholders with unvested equity at the closing of the Business Combination that will be earned over the remaining service period with the Company on their unvested equity shares and upon achievement of the Earnout Milestones. The Vested Shares are classified as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and the Unvested Shares are equity-classified share-based compensation to be recognized over time (see Note 8 - Share-based Compensation). The earnout liability was initially measured at fair value at the closing of the Business Combination and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the earn-out liability is recorded as part of Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.

Current wording

These earnout shares have been categorized into two components: (i) the “Vested Shares” - those associated with stockholders with vested equity at the closing of the Business Combination that will be earned upon achievement of the Earnout Milestones. Any forfeited shares from unvested holders will be reallocated among the remaining earnout holders and (ii) the “Unvested Shares” - those associated with stockholders with unvested equity at the closing of the Business Combination which are subject to forfeiture if the employee leaves prior to the achievement of the Earnout Milestones. As the implicit service period has passed, these shares now remain contingent solely on meeting the earnout performance condition. The Vested Shares are classified as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Unvested Shares are equity-classified stock-based compensation to be recognized over time (see Note 10 - “Stock-based Compensation”). The earnout liability was initially measured at fair value at the closing of the Business Combination and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the earn-out liability is recorded as part of “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statement of operations.
