- Product Revenue Increased to $3.55 Million, Up 18% Over the Prior Quarter

- Recently Engaged BofA Securities, Inc. to Act as Financial Advisor in Company’s Strategic Review to Enhance Stockholder Value

- Company to Host Webcast Today at 5:00 p.m. EST to Review Quarterly Results and Provide a Business Update

Transphorm, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGAN)—a global leader in GaN, the future of next generation power systems, announced today its financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 (“Q2 Fiscal 2024”).

Primit Parikh, Transphorm’s CEO and Co-Founder, commented, “In Q2 Fiscal 2024 we saw strong sequential and year-over-year product sales growth accompanied by improved gross margin that nearly doubled year-over-year. We were pleased with the continued growth of our pipeline and our design wins, highlighted by record growth in high-power design wins. We anticipate continued strong growth in product revenue in our third fiscal quarter as we realize the benefits of converting our burgeoning design-ins into revenue generating contracts.”

Dr. Parikh continued, “Importantly, we engaged BofA Securities to advance our previously announced strategic review process, and we are continuing this process as we seek to enhance stockholder value, pursuing multiple options that include the potential merger or sale of the company.”

Key Business Highlights

  • Reported total revenue of $5.0 million for Q2 Fiscal 2024, an increase of 36.5% over the same quarter last year and a decrease of 15% from the prior quarter.
  • Product revenue was $3.55 million in the quarter, exceeding the Company’s expectations, with an increase of 12% from the same quarter last year and 18% over the prior quarter. Government revenue was $1.46 million in the quarter versus $2.9 million in the prior quarter.
  • Gross margin in the quarter was 23.4%, exceeding the Company’s expectations, with an increase of 11.5% year-over-year, while down from 35.5% in the prior quarter due to lower mix of government contract revenue.
  • Continued to grow its 5-year pipeline opportunity—now at over $475 million, of which about 70% is in high power, and also up 5% from the Company’s previous update in August 2023. With traction in design-ins and opportunities entering or nearing production, the Company expects a continuation of its sequential product revenue growth in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
  • Became the first and only GaN company to surpass 200 billion field operation hours for GaN products, including both low power and high power.
  • Announced the publication of the Company’s white paper, The Fundamental Advantages of D-Mode GaN in Cascode Configuration. The paper lays out how Transphorm’s normally-off D-Mode platform design harnesses GaN’s natural benefits, whereas E-Mode designs must make certain performance compromises.
  • The Company’s GaN became the first to demonstrate a short circuit robustness milestone key to motor drive and automotive EV inverter applications.
  • Closed common stock only $7.94 million Rights Offering at $3.30 per share.

High Power Segment Update – Continued Leadership of Transphorm in GaN

  • Increased total design-ins for higher power (300 watt – 7.5 kilowatt) to over 100 (with over 35 in production), an increase of more than 30% from the Company’s previous update in August 2023, with an estimated 75% plus conversion rate in the markets from design-in to in production.
  • Breakthrough production win with solar inverter player - Announced Transphorm’s GaN platform powers the world’s first integrated photovoltaic (PV) systems from DAH Solar Co., Ltd. (Anhui Daheng New Energy Technology Co., LTD.), enabling it to produce smaller, lighter, and more reliable solar panel systems that also offer higher overall power generation with lower energy consumption.
  • Introduced three SuperGaN® FETs in surface mount devices (SMD) TOLL packages supporting higher power applications operating within an average range of 1 to 3 kilowatts typically found in high performance segments such as computing (AI, server, telecom, data center), energy and industrial (PV inverters, servo motors), and other broad industrial markets.
  • Expanded the Company’s package option portfolio launching the SuperGaN® TOLT FET with an on-resistance of 72 milliohms, the industry’s first top-side cooled surface mount GaN device in the JEDEC-standard (MO-332) TOLT package.
  • Another first for Transphorm GaN is the initial sampling of the TO-247-4 lead package (drop in with Si and SiC solutions), with recent internal tests demonstrating 25% lower losses versus similar SiC -MOSFET offerings from a global top-3 supplier, thereby increasing the socket penetration opportunities with new and existing solutions.
  • Transphorm is actively engaged with multiple global customer partners for high power GaN in these new surface mount packages, a global leader in the microinverter space, lead customers in server and storage power, an innovative manufacturer for off-grid power solutions and a leader in satellite communications.
  • Released 300W and 600W Electric 2 and 3-wheeler charger power supply designs and successfully designed into 2 of the top 5 India OEMs in 2-wheeler battery chargers.

Low Power Segment Update – Transphorm Enables Superior Performance

  • Increased total design-ins for power adapters and fast chargers (< 300 watt) to over 115 (with over 30 in production), an increase in ongoing design-ins of 15% from the Company’s previous update in August 2023.
  • Expanded the Company’s System-In-Package (SiP) strategy to over five IC partners, to enable faster growth in this segment.
  • Continued to expand sockets at two of the top three world-wide laptop OEMs in multiple power levels – both at 65W and higher range from 100W to 360W.

Cameron McAulay, Transphorm’s CFO, said, “We significantly outperformed our gross margin expectations this quarter at 23%, and we continue to progress toward our long-term model of gross margins in excess of 40%. Additionally, we meaningfully reduced cash burn from $6.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to $5.1 million for Q2 Fiscal 2024, and we continue to have zero debt on our balance sheet, which puts us in a strong position to secure additional non-dilutive funding.”
