SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2021 / MoSys, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOSY) ("MoSys" or the "Company"), a provider of semiconductor solutions that enable fast, intelligent data access for cloud, networking, security and communications systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total net revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.2 million, compared with $1.3 million for the previous quarter and $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.0 million, compared with $1.2 million in the previous quarter and $1.7 million in the year ago period. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in revenue reflected lower shipments of Bandwidth Engine^® products and reduced royalties from 1T-SRAM licensees.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 62%, compared with 63% for the first quarter of 2021 and 69% for the second quarter of 2020.

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2021 were $2.5 million, compared with operating expenses of $2.2 million in the previous quarter and $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2020. Total non-GAAP operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expenses, for the second quarter of 2021 were $2.4 million, compared with $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2020. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables following the text of this press release.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.2 million, or $0.18 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.28 per share, for the previous quarter, and a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.32 per share, for the second quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.7 million, or $0.25 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.28 per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.18 per share, for the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was a negative $1.7 million, compared with a negative $1.3 million in the previous quarter and a negative $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2020.

At June 30, 2021, cash and investments increased to $23.1 million, following successful completion of a registered direct offering that generated $12 million in net proceeds. In May 2021, the Company's outstanding promissory note issued under the Paycheck Protection Program was forgiven in full, and the Company recorded a gain of $0.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Management Commentary

"We continued to see a consistent level of demand for our chips and IP solutions as reflected in our increasing pipeline of design wins and customer engagements during the quarter. We continued to effectively manage industry supply chain constraints, which impacted customer timelines and near-term demand for our IC products. In response to the current environment, we have increased ordering lead times for our products, and when combined with our increased backlog, provides us visibility through the first quarter of 2022. We are seeing new opportunities for our Acceleration Engine ICs in applications such as programmable switches, network security and 5G user plane function (UPF). These applications require increasing amounts of high-bandwidth, low-latency memory to add performance and features. As we recently announced, APS Networks has selected our Bandwidth Engine 3 IC to add advanced capabilities to its new OpenBNG switches, and we expect initial revenue contribution in the coming quarters.

We also continued to make progress on the development and marketing of our Virtual Accelerator Engine (VAE) IP solutions. Our pipeline for license opportunities increased during the quarter supported by new referrals from our FPGA partners and includes multiple engagements for use in 5G UPF applications. We expect to secure our first production license with a lead IC customer in the second half of 2021 with follow-on licenses for additional customer programs expected in 2022."

Mr. Lewis concluded, "Based on our current backlog, we expect quarterly revenue to increase beginning with the fourth quarter of 2021. While we experienced increased expenses in the second quarter, we continue to manage our costs and prudently invest in the development of our VAE IP solutions and seek to identify strategic relationships and alternatives to improve our prospects and provide further scale. We also exited the quarter with our strongest balance sheet in recent years. The Company is debt free and has over $23 million in cash and investments. We look forward to making further progress in the second half of 2021, as we believe we are well positioned for growth and continued execution on our business plan."

Business Outlook

The Company expects total net revenue for the third quarter of 2021 to be in the range of $1.1 million to $1.4 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement MoSys' consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, MoSys uses non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from the statement of operations the effects of stock-based compensation, gains on extinguishment of debt and deemed dividends. MoSys' management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors and other interested persons because they are one of the primary indicators that MoSys' management uses for planning and forecasting future performance. The press release also makes reference to and reconciles GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization, as well as stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges, gains on extinguishment of debt and a one-time deemed dividend. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because management does not consider these charges part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that would be used to evaluate management's operating performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which are provided in tables below the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, and management's explanation of why it considers such measures to be useful, refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 10, 2021 that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
