Current report
Net revenues increased by $0.6 million, from $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 due to a $0.4 million increase in product sales and a $0.3 million increase in service revenues.
Current report
Product costs decreased by $0.4 million, from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.7 million reduction in inventory write-downs recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and a $0.4 million reduction in allocated overheads costs during the three months ended September 30, 2025. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in direct manufacturing and related costs associated with higher sales of 5G products and a $0.2 million increase in depreciation expense related to 5G mask sets.
Current report
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million, from $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of equity-classified common stock warrants to certain investors during the third quarter of 2025. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily due to higher bad debt expense.
Current report
Interest expense decreased by $0.9 million, from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.6 million reduction in interest associated with the excise tax on share redemptions liability, which included a $0.3 million reversal of previously accrued interest recorded as a reduction of interest expense following the release of the related liability in the third quarter of 2026. Additionally, there was a $0.3 million decrease in interest on other borrowings due to lower average outstanding debt balances.
Current report

Current report
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.5 million, from $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of equity-classified common stock warrants to certain investors in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a $0.2 million decrease in professional services fees, primarily due to lower legal expenses, and a $0.2 million decrease in temporary and contracting services, partially offset by net increases in other general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million.
Current report
Interest expense decreased by $0.5 million, from $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease primarily reflected a $0.7 million reduction in interest associated with the excise tax on share redemptions, which included a $0.3 million reversal of previously accrued interest recorded as a reduction of interest expense following the release of the related liability in the third quarter of 2026, and a $0.2 million decrease in interest on other borrowings. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in expense associated with the issuance of liability-classified common stock warrants to an existing investor and a $0.1 million increase in other debt-related fees associated with our convertible promissory note arrangements.

Previous wording
Even as more and more applications are deployed on 5G networks, we believe that demand for our existing 4G LTE product lineup (4.75G/4.5G/4G, etc.) will continue, because 4G products are expected to coexist in the market with 5G products at lower price points for some time in the same way that 3rd generation (“3G”) products coexisted with 4G products when 4G networks were first deployed. We commenced our first production shipments of our 5G products in the last quarter of 2025. We also expect the average sales prices for our 5G chipset to be approximately four times that of our 4G chipset, resulting in a significant increase in revenue and gross margins. We plan to continuously expand our product lineup to support 5G chipsets for future applications such as vehicle-to-everything standard (e.g., C-V2X), 5G-based satellite communication (e.g., Non-Terrestrial Network), and 5G-based IoT standard (e.g., RedCap). Our current chipset products are used in a wide variety of applications, including fixed wireless subscriber terminals (e.g., CPE), mobile wireless routers (e.g., Mobile Router/MiFi), various communication modules and devices, and industrial products.

In addition, a shortage of manufacturing capacity can also impact the product development strategies of our major customers, which may, in turn, affect our business operations. For example, in 2022, the supply shortage caused our largest customer to change its priority on product development from 4G to the next generation of 5G products (at a time when our 5G product was not available), which resulted in the reduction of 4G activity and a decline in demand for our products.

In April 2025, we entered into an at-market issuance sales agreement (“ATM Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, acting as sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell shares of our common stock through at-the-market offerings or to the sales agents as principal purchasers (“ATM Offering”). In June 2026, we amended the ATM Agreement to increase the maximum aggregate gross proceeds from $75.0 million to $120.0 million. As there is no commitment for future sales of additional shares under the at-market issuance sales agreement or the ATM Offering, we cannot predict how much, if any, additional proceeds may be realized. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we received net proceeds of approximately $53.8 million in cash related to the ATM Offering.

Accounts receivable balances are primarily derived from revenues earned from customers located in the United States, China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of our customers and distributors, and generally do not require collateral from our customers. We continuously monitor collections and payments from customers and maintain a provision for credit losses based on the collectibility of our customer accounts. We review the provision by considering certain factors such as historical experience, industry data, credit quality, age of balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Uncollectible receivables are written off when all efforts to collect have been exhausted and recoveries are recognized when they are recovered. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we had in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of our significant customers could materially affect the collectibility of our accounts receivable and our future operating results. The provision for credit losses was $5.2 million and $4.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
