Key 2022 Achievements
- Grew New Product revenue by 50% from Fiscal 2021
- Increased Fiscal 2022 revenue by 28%
- Increased sales funnel to $118 million
- Delivered the best non-GAAP operating performance of the last 10 years
"This was a pivotal year for QuickLogic," commented Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. "New wins on our eFPGA IP-based products, continued shipments of smart connectivity and display products, and licensing of our SensiML AI Software Platform drove revenue and contributed to our best non-GAAP operating performance in the last ten years. Our ability to offer a full spectrum of solutions ranging from eFPGA IP all the way to full chip designs has helped contribute to the continued growth in our sales funnel, currently over $118 million, positioning us to exceed organic sales growth of 30% in 2023 and report positive non-GAAP operating income for the full year."
Fiscal 2022 Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.1 million, an increase of 18.1% compared with the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of 10.2% compared with the fourth quarter of 2021.
New product revenue was approximately $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.6 million, or 26.2%, compared with the third quarter of 2022, and an increase of $0.2 million, or 6.6%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in new product revenue from the same period a year ago was primarily due to increased eFPGA professional services revenue partially offset by decreases in sensor, smart connectivity, and display product revenues. The previously announced $6.9 million government contract contributed to revenue growth in the quarter and will further contribute to revenue growth into 2023.
Mature product revenue was $1.2 million in both the fourth quarter and the third quarter of 2022. Mature product revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 19.5% compared with the fourth quarter of 2021.

For more information, visit www.quicklogic.com and https://www.quicklogic.com/blog/.
QuickLogic uses its website ( www.quicklogic.com), the company blog ( https://www.quicklogic.com/blog/), corporate Twitter account (@QuickLogic_Corp), Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/QuickLogic), and LinkedIn page ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/13512/) as channels of distribution of information about its products, its planned financial and other announcements, its attendance at upcoming investor and industry conferences, and other matters. Such information may be deemed material information, and QuickLogic may use these channels to comply with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Therefore, investors should monitor the Company's website and its social media accounts in addition to following the Company's press releases, SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) filings, public conference calls, and webcasts.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
QuickLogic reports financial information in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or U.S. GAAP, but believes that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in evaluating its operating results and comparing its performance to comparable companies. Accordingly, the Company excludes certain charges related to stock-based compensation, in calculating non-GAAP (i) loss from operations, (ii) net loss, (iii) net loss per share, and (iv) gross margin percentage. The Company provides this non-GAAP information to enable investors to evaluate its operating results in a manner like how the Company analyzes its operating results and to provide consistency and comparability with similar companies in the Company's industry.
Management uses the non-GAAP measures, which exclude gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the Company's core operating results, internally to evaluate its operating performance against results in prior periods and its operating plans and forecasts. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are used to plan for the Company's future periods and serve as a basis for the allocation of the Company's resources, management of operations and the measurement of profit-dependent cash and equity compensation paid to employees and executive officers.
Investors should note, however, that the non-GAAP financial measures used by QuickLogic may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures and may not be calculated in the same manner as that of other companies. QuickLogic does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures alone or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the financial statements portion of this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These and other potential factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated or implied are described in more detail in the Company's public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the risks discussed in the "Risk Factors" section in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in the Company's prior press releases, which are available on the Company's Investor Relations website at http://ir.quicklogic.com/, and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov/.
