Fourth Quarter Financial Outlook

As of November 4, 2026, Silvaco is providing guidance for its fourth quarter of 2026, which represents Silvaco’s current estimates of its operations and financial results. The financial information below represents forward-looking financial information and in some instances forward-looking, non-GAAP financial information and key operating indicators, including estimates of Bookings, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses. GAAP gross margin is the most comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating expenses are the most comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP operating expenses. Non-GAAP gross margin differs from GAAP gross margin in that it excludes items such as stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs and restructuring, executive severance and other related costs. Non-GAAP operating expenses differ from GAAP operating expenses in that they exclude items such as acquisition related costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring, executive severance and other related costs. Silvaco is unable to provide guidance for GAAP gross margin or GAAP operating expenses, or a quantitative reconciliation of the corresponding forward-looking non-GAAP measures, because the amount and timing of these adjustments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time without unreasonable effort. These items could be material to Silvaco’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Based on current business trends and conditions, the Company expects for fourth quarter 2026 the following:

  • Bookings of $21.0 million +/- 10%.
  • Revenue of $22.0 million +/- 10%.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin of around 88%.
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses of $16.0 million +/- 5%.
