Q1 2024 Quicklogic Corp Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- QuickLogic Corp (QUIK) reported a significant year-over-year revenue increase of 45% in Q1, driven by a 60% increase in new product revenue primarily from eFPGA IP contracts.
- The company has a record $179 million sales funnel and significant eFPGA contract proposals pending, indicating potential for continued growth.
- QuickLogic Corp (QUIK) is strategically positioned to expand its IP business across new customers and market sectors, with support for multiple fabrication nodes.
- The company successfully transitioned revenue recognition from engineering services to IP license, aligning revenue more closely with deliverables and improving contract negotiation leverage.
- QuickLogic Corp (QUIK) remains cash-flow positive and projects solid profitability for the full year of 2024, despite strategic shifts in revenue recognition.
- Despite overall growth, QuickLogic Corp (QUIK) anticipates a sequential revenue decrease in Q2 from Q1 due to strategic shifts in revenue recognition between engineering services and IP licenses.
- The change in revenue recognition will push significant revenue into the second half of 2024, potentially affecting short-term financial reporting.
- There are uncertainties in the timing of contract awards and shipments, which could impact projected revenues and growth rates.
- The company faces intense competition in the eFPGA market, particularly from companies like Flex Logix and Menta, which could impact market share and pricing.
