Summary Comments for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026
- SRAM revenue increased 7% sequentially and 35% year-over-year, fueled by strong market momentum for leading AI processors;
- Gross margin lift of 200 basis points from prior quarter and over 1,100 basis points compared to the prior year for our largest gross margin in over two years;
- Quarter-end cash balance of $22.7 million, up from $13.4 million at the end of Q4 FY2025, including proceeds from the “at the market” (ATM) program;
- Delivered an APU Leda-2 board to an offshore defense contractor, as planned, for proof-of-concept development; and
- Currently developing a multi-modal LLM that targets edge applications, with benchmark results available by fall 2025.
Lee-Lean Shu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We have completed the evaluation of the second spin of our Gemini-II chip, successfully resolving all known bugs, and confirming the chip is production-ready. In parallel, we finalized development of the SAR and YOLO algorithms, optimized for a low-power version of our Leda board. We are pleased with the performance of the board, which is optimized for Edge AI applications. This solution holds strong market potential, particularly for drones operating in GPS-denied environments and next-generation satellite applications.”
Mr. Shu continued, “Gemini-II is ideally suited for edge-based large language models (LLMs), combining high-performance, low-power architecture and flexible processing capabilities, key features that meet the growing demand for AI at the edge. We are developing a multi-modal LLM optimized for edge applications and expect to share benchmark results by fall 2025.”
