Management Insights: Atomera's collaboration with STMicroelectronics faced setbacks due to reliability issues, leading to a shift in focus to a 300-millimeter platform and a loss of near-term royalty revenue. However, a new MST implementation was validated, promising significant performance improvements and potential for broader market applications.
Financial Performance: The company reported a GAAP net loss of $5.6 million for Q3 2025, with increased operating expenses attributed to R&D and administrative costs. Cash reserves decreased to $20.3 million, and the company raised approximately $2 million through its ATM facility during the quarter.
Outlook and Strategy: Atomera anticipates recognizing $75,000 to $125,000 in NRE revenue in Q4 2025, with a focus on rapid revenue opportunities through MST starting wafers. The appointment of a new VP of Sales aims to enhance commercial growth and license conversions.
Risks and Concerns: The loss of immediate revenue visibility from STMicroelectronics poses challenges, alongside the risks associated with customer transitions and the variability in revenue recognition due to iterative testing processes. Management is prioritizing MST products and strategic partnerships to mitigate these risks.
