Initial Public Offering

On July 18, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-28 reverse stock split (the Stock Split) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and options to purchase common stock. The Stock Split reduced the number of shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, as well as the numbers of shares underlying restricted stock units ("RSUs") and the numbers of shares reserved and available for future issuance and underlying outstanding options to purchase common stock. The Stock Split did not affect the par values per share or total authorized shares of common stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the Stock Split.

On July 31, 2025, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO"), in which 4,600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, were issued and sold, inclusive of the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase 600,000 additional shares.

Upon consummation of the follow-on offerings,$2.2 million of such costs were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds generated from the offering, which was recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Prior to the IPO, deferred offering costs, consisting primarily of accounting, legal and other fees related to the IPO, were capitalized within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon consummation of the IPO, $2.8 million of such costs were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds generated from the offering, which was recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Concentration of Risks

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances in highly rated financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits or be held in foreign jurisdictions. The Company has not experienced any loss relating to cash and cash equivalents in these accounts and believes no significant concentration risk exists with respect to cash. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and generally does not require collateral.

Demand

The Company hadthree customers representing 33.8%,20.3% and 11.7%, respectively, of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2026. The Company hadfive customers representing 25.6%,22.7%,15.1%,14.9% and 10.7% respectively, of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025, three of which were the same customers as of September 30, 2026.

There were four end customers representing 27.1%,19.8%,16.2% and 16.1%, respectively, of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2026. These same four end customers represented 25.5%,23.7%,21.1% and 11.1%, respectively, of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

There were three end customers representing 40.8%,26.1% and 21.4%, respectively, of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025. These same three end customers represented 39.1%,28.2% and 18.4%, respectively, of total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The topthree end customers for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were also among the topfour end customers for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

The loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Geographic Concentration of End Customers

Although the Company recognizes revenue and directly invoices distributors for sales of its products, the timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are most impacted by the ultimate end customer. The following is a summary of net sales for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, based on the country of the corporate headquarters of the ultimate end customer:

Three months ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,

Total$38,138$18,165$97,099$51,770
*Other countries individually less than 10%

Supply

The Company's products depend on a sole supplier of wafers and a limited number of third-party manufacturers. The continued and timely supply of input materials and the availability of manufacturing capacity and packaging and testing services impact the Company's ability to meet customer demand. Supply chain disruptions, shortages of raw materials and manufacturing limitations could limit the Company's ability to meet customer demand and result in delayed, reduced or canceled orders. The Company has established relationships with leading suppliers and partners, and believes these relationships increase the resiliency of the Company's supply chain for its customers. From time to time, subject to inventory disruptions, the Company's customers may buy and hold excess inventories. Consequently, the Company may be subject to resulting fluctuations in the demand for its products.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments require that an entity capitalize software costs when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting Narrow Scope Improvements, which is intended to clarify the guidance in ASC 270. The amendments address the form and content of interim financial statements, adds lists of the interim disclosures required by all other codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU provides a practical expedient to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company's adoption of ASU 2025-05 electing the practical expedient method did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Contract Manufacturer Commitments

The Company relies on a third-party foundry and contract manufacturer for the manufacturing of its products. Generally, its foundry agreements do not have volume purchase commitments and primarily provide for purchase commitments based on purchase orders. Purchase orders are placed in advance with consideration of estimates of future demand. These purchase orders can be canceled and rescheduled upon agreement of the Company and the contract manufacturer.

  1. Stock Compensation Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

In July 2025, the Company's board of directors adopted, and the Company's stockholders approved, the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"). The 2025 Plan became effective on July 29, 2025, the date the final prospectus was filed in connection with the IPO. The 2025 Plan came into existence upon its adoption by the Company's board of directors. No further awards will be granted under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan") or 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan," and collectively, along with the 2025 Plan and 2010 Plan, the "Plans").

The following table summarizes the effects of stock-based compensation on cost of sales, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses granted under the Plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Three months ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,
2026202520262025
(in thousands)
Cost of sales$230$26$635$126
Research and development1,8862615,135980
Selling, general and administrative1,9011,7815,1662,578
Total$4,017$2,068$10,936$3,684

The total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and subject to recognition in future periods was approximately$49.7 million at September 30, 2026. The Company anticipates this expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.3 years.

The total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and subject to recognition in future periods was approximately$1.2 million at September 30, 2026. The Company anticipates this expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company received$3.8 million and$0.2 million from the exercise of stock options granted under the Plans, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company received$9.9 million and$0.4 million from the exercise of stock options granted under the Plans, respectively.

  1. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Three months ended September 30,Nine months ended September 30,
2026202520262025
(in thousands)
Loss before income taxes$(7,052)$(8,999)$(24,334)$(25,761)
Income tax expense(4)(3)(8)(21)
Effective tax rate0.1%0.0%0.0%0.1%

The income tax amount for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 differs from the amount that would be expected after applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance. The effective tax rate was less than 1% for each of thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The provision for income taxes is primarily related to the foreign subsidiaries’ local country obligations. There is no federal provision for income taxes as the Company has sufficient carryforward of net operating losses to offset any operating income earned since inception and has projected an operating loss in the current year.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the net deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

  1. Related Party Transactions

The Company defines related parties as any party that controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the Company to the extent that the Company may be prevented from fully pursuing its own interests, such as directors, executive officers and stockholders, including beneficial owners of greater than 10% of the Company’s capital stock, and their affiliates or immediate family members.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a related party exercised common warrants for cash proceeds of $3.0 million. The proceeds were recorded within additional paid-in capital.

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company didnot have any related party transactions.
