Arteris Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter 2023 and Estimated Second Quarter and Full Year 2023 Guidance

CAMPBELL, Calif., May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arteris, Inc. (Arteris or Arteris IP), a leading provider of network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect and other intellectual property (IP) technology that manages the on-chip communications in system-on-chip (SoC) semiconductor devices, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 as well as estimated second quarter and full year 2023 guidance.

“We’re excited to report a solid start to the year, with Annual Contract Value plus Trailing-Twelve-Month Royalties of $54.8 million, up 20% year-over-year when adjusted to exclude HiSilicon and DJI and up 5% sequentially,” said K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris. “With the added focus on the broader automotive supply chain, including OEMs, and following last year’s Arm automotive partnership, we are pleased to report that in the year to date, Arteris secured four new OEM design wins, including three new car companies across the US, Europe and APAC. In addition to automotive, we continue to see strong demand from AI and Machine Learning applications which increasingly require network-on-chip IP and benefit from SoC integration automation. We believe Arteris is well positioned to continue to gain market share as the growing complexity of automotive, consumer electronics, and AI/ML applications, creates a need for third party commercial System IP,” concluded K. Charles Janac.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

  • Annual Contract Value (ACV) and Trailing-twelve-month (TTM) royalties of $54.8 million, up 4% year-over-year
  • Revenue of $13.2 million, up 12% year-over-year
  • Remaining performance obligation (RPO) of $57.3 million
  • Operating loss of $8.8 million or 67% of revenue
  • Non-GAAP operating loss of $5.6 million or 42.4% of revenue, compared to a loss of $4.2 million in the year-ago period
  • Net loss of $9.0 million or $0.26 per share
  • Non-GAAP net loss of $5.8 million or $0.17 per share
  • Non-GAAP free cash flow of $(8.5) million or (65)% of revenue

First Quarter 2023 Business Highlights:

  • 22 confirmed designs starts in the first quarter, highlighting sustained customer usage of Arteris technology;
  • Added six Active Customers in the first quarter across key verticals, including in Enterprise & Computing, Consumer, and Automotive;
  • Tenstorrent licensed Arteris IP for AI high-performance computing and datacenter RISC-V chiplets; and
  • ASICLAND selected Arteris FlexNoC for automotive, AI enterprise and AI edge SoCs to facilitate faster time to market and reduce design time for ASICLAND’s customers across various industries.

Estimated Second Quarter and Full Year 2023 Guidance:

 Q2 2023FY 2023
 (in millions, except %)
ACV + TTM royalties$53.5 - $57.5$60.4 - $65.4

Non-GAAP operating loss (%)37.0% - 57.0%28.5% - 43.5%

Refer to the section titled "Forward-Looking Statements" below for information on the factors, among others, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP operating loss, Non-GAAP operating loss margin, Non-GAAP net loss, Non-GAAP net loss per share, free cash flow and free cash flow margin are Non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core performance. These non-GAAP measures, which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define "Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin" as GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue. We define “Non-GAAP Loss from Operations” as our income (loss) from operations adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We define “Non-GAAP Net Loss” as our net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and gain on extinguishment of debt.

We define “Non-GAAP EPS”, as our Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) divided by our GAAP weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period on a diluted basis. Management uses Non-GAAP EPS to evaluate the performance of our business on a comparable basis from period to period.

The above items are excluded from our Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) because these items are non-cash in nature, or are not indicative of our core operating performance, and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) provide useful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.

We define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors, even if negative, about the amount of cash used in our operations other than that used for investments in property and equipment.

Other Business Metrics

Annual Contract Value (ACV) – we define Annual Contract Value 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 includes licensing, support and maintenance and other fixed fees under IP licensing or software licensing agreements but excludes variable revenue derived from licensing agreements with customers, particularly royalties. We monitor ACV to measure our success and believe the increase in the number shows our progress in expanding our customers’ adoption of our solutions. ACV fluctuates due to a number of factors, including the timing, duration and dollar amount of customer contracts.

Active Customers – we define Active Customers as customers who have entered into a license agreement with us that remains in effect. The retention and expansion of our relationships with existing customers are key indicators of our revenue potential.

Confirmed Design Starts – 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. We believe that the number of Confirmed Design Starts is an important indicator of the growth of our business and future royalty revenue trends.

Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) – we define Remaining Performance Obligations as the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and unbilled cancelable and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.

(1) Represents the amortization expenses of our intangible assets attributable to our acquisitions.
(2) Our GAAP tax provision is primarily related to foreign withholding taxes and income tax in profitable foreign jurisdictions. We maintain a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in the US. Accordingly, there is no significant tax impact associated with these Non-GAAP adjustments.
(3) Reflects the aggregate adjustments made to reconcile Non-GAAP Net Loss to our net loss as noted in the above table, divided by the GAAP diluted weighted average number of shares of the relevant period.
