Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Net revenues decreased 29% in Q2 and 35% YTD compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decline in industrial and mobile markets in China.
• Expense Reductions: Operating expenses decreased significantly (39% in Q2, 32% YTD) driven by restructuring efforts, headcount reductions, and a reversal of stock-based compensation expense following the resignation of a senior executive holding Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) options.
• Earnout Liability Impact: The company recognized a non-cash loss of $28.0 million in Q2 and $19.9 million YTD due to the change in fair value of earnout liabilities. This increase in liability value was driven by a rise in the company's stock price, which increased the estimated fair value of earnout shares.
• Liquidity Improvement: Cash and cash equivalents increased from $86.7 million at year-end 2024 to $161.2 million in Q2 2025, largely due to $100.0 million in gross proceeds from two At-The-Market (ATM) equity offerings.
• Restructuring: The company incurred $1.5 million in restructuring expenses YTD 2025 related to a workforce reduction plan announced in January 2025.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Supply Chain Risk (Critical): On July 1, 2025, the company's sole supplier of GaN wafers, TSMC, announced it will cease GaN production in July 2027. Navitas is expanding collaboration with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, with initial device qualification expected in Q4 2025 and mass production targeted for H1 2026. The company is evaluating additional suppliers to mitigate this risk.
• Internal Control Weaknesses: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025, due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. These include deficiencies in identifying risks, classifying cash flows, and recording complex transactions. A remediation plan is underway, with completion expected by Q4 2025.
• Market Volatility: The company noted that stock price volatility can be influenced by announcements of potential collaborations (e.g., with Nvidia) that do not constitute binding commitments or immediate revenue.
• Liquidity: Management believes current cash levels are sufficient to fund operations for the foreseeable future but may seek additional equity or debt financing if required.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Supplier Transition Plan: Verify the progress of the transition from TSMC to Powerchip and the timeline for mass production to ensure no disruption to supply.
• Revenue Recovery: Monitor subsequent quarters for signs of recovery in the China industrial and mobile markets to validate the sustainability of current revenue levels.
• Internal Control Remediation: Review future filings to confirm the remediation of material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
• Earnout Liability Volatility: Assess the sensitivity of the earnout liability to stock price fluctuations and its potential impact on future net loss figures.
• ATM Offering Capacity: Note that the company has utilized its current ATM capacity ($100 million sold); verify if new agreements are in place for future capital raises.
