QuickLogic Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif. , Feb. 25, 2025  -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) ("QuickLogic" or the "Company"), a developer of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, ruggedized FPGAs and Endpoint AI solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year that ended December 29, 2024.

Recent Highlights

• Awarded $1.1 million eFPGA Hard IP contract with new defense industrial base customer last week
• Announced $6.6 million fourth tranche of the Strategic Radiation Hardened FPGA Technology US Government contract
• On track to complete the first eFPGA Hard IP core optimized for Intel 18A during Q1
• Announced the integration of the Synopsys Synplify® synthesis tool into Aurora 2.9 Pro FPGA User Tools
• Strengthened sales team with the appointment of former FlexLogix VP Andy Jaros to VP of IP Sales
• Signed distribution agreement with Magenta to expand distribution network to Turkiye and UAE
• Announced strategic process for SensiML

"With the continued execution on the Strategic Radiation Hardened FPGA contract with the US government, an influx of opportunities after a key competitor exited the market and being the first, and at this time, only company to offer eFPGA Hard IP for Intel 18A, we believe we are well positioned to return to sound revenue growth in 2025," said Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. "We believe this growth, combined with our ability to leverage the eFPGA Hard IP we have established for six unique fabrication processes and the Hard IP Cores in our library that are being reused; we believe we are very well positioned to achieve non-GAAP profitability and positive cash flow for full-year 2025."
