Annual revenue for 2023 grew 30.2% to $15.1 million, compared to $11.6 million for 2022 as increased orders from our Automotive and Wireless Infrastructure markets drove our growth. Of our three markets, Automotive grew the most, representing 57% of 2023 revenue due to increased penetration and number of design wins that began shipping. The next highest growth market for the Company is Wireless Infrastructure, which includes satellite communications (SATCOM). This market grew to 11% of the Company’s 2023 revenue. Wireless Infrastructure revenue growth is expected to accelerate in 2024 and represent a much larger percentage of sales as two previously announced design wins in point-to-multi-point application and SATCOM begin shipping in earnest. Our Catalog Markets represented 32% of 2023 revenue and while revenue in this market is expected to remain stable and even increase, we anticipate that over time it will decline as a percentage of total revenue as the first two markets continue to scale.

  • Fourth quarter shipments 99.8% higher than same period in 2022, representing highest quarterly deliveries in Company’s history.
