CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Everspin Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRAM), the market leader in MRAM, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
First Quarter and Recent Highlights
- Total revenue increased sequentially and year-over-year to $10.1 million, exceeding the high-end of guidance
- Gross margin expanded to 52.9% from 47.7% in the prior year quarter
- GAAP loss improved to ($0.10) per share and non-GAAP loss to ($0.05), compared to ($0.25) and ($0.21), respectively, in year-ago quarter
- Ended quarter with cash and equivalents of $14.0 million
“First quarter revenue was above the high end of our guidance range and represented our third consecutive quarter of growth as data center demand combined with the breadth of our customer base continue to be positive factors for our business,” stated Kevin Conley, Everspin’s President and CEO. “Additionally, our expense reduction initiatives and ongoing improvement in mature product costs resulted in a dramatic increase in year-over-year bottom-line results.
“Despite the moderate impact on orders and customer interactions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain fully operational and achieved growth in the quarter as well as a record number of design wins. We also continued to increase customer sampling of our STT-MRAM products as we pave the way for expanding design-ins. This is a testament to the persistence of the Everspin team and the strength of our leading technology and products.
“Looking to the second quarter, we expect to achieve another quarter of sequential revenue growth, while we cautiously monitor the global environment and remain prepared to promptly address any possible changes in market dynamics.”
