  • QuickLogic is experiencing an increasing win rate in IP contracts and aims to achieve 10 IP contracts for the year, which could significantly boost revenue.
  • The company plans to be the first eFPGA company to offer Hard eFPGA IP on Intel's 18A node, potentially providing a competitive advantage and opening up significant revenue opportunities.
  • QuickLogic has significant potential revenue from chiplet and storefront opportunities not fully reflected in the current sales funnel, including $40 million in potential chiplet deals and a Strategic Radiation Hardened FPGA development contract that could lead to several hundred million dollars in future storefront revenue.
  • The company lowered its full-year growth projection from 30% to 15% due to delays in contracts and customer push outs, indicating potential challenges in meeting growth targets.
  • Approximately $3 million of revenue is being pushed into next year because of delays not under the company's control, impacting current year revenue.
  • A significant portion of the company's $189 million sales funnel includes opportunities with revenues beyond the next two years, creating uncertainty in near-term revenue realization and possible pressure on short-term financial performance.
  1. Revenue Guidance Reduction
    Q: Is $3 million revenue pushed to next year due to customer delays?
    A: Yes, about $3 million of revenue is being pushed into next year because of customer delays not under our control.

  2. Guidance Decrease Explanation
    Q: Is the growth reduction from 30% to 15% split equally between factors?
    A: It's close to half and half between different factors contributing to the lowered guidance from 30% to 15% growth.

  3. Future Revenue Acceleration
    Q: Will revenues from the Strategic Rad Hard program increase in '25 and '26?
    A: Yes, as we move into manufacturing and testing, revenues from the program will accelerate significantly in 2025 and 2026.

  4. Pipeline and Win Rate
    Q: How many proposals are in the funnel, and what's the expected win rate?
    A: Our win rate is increasing. We aim to win 10 IP contracts this year and expect to close more deals by early fall.

  5. Storefront and Chiplet Opportunities
    Q: How will storefront and chiplet deals contribute to growth next year?
    A: About 25% of IP opportunities now include device development and storefront responsibility. We received $8 million in development deals recently, indicating increased interest in storefront-oriented designs.

  6. Sales Funnel Composition
    Q: What percentage of the $189 million funnel is storefront deals?
    A: More than half of the $189 million sales funnel is related to storefront deals. Actual storefront revenue potential is significantly higher outside the 2-year window.

  7. November 2022 Customer Delay
    Q: Is the November '22 customer delaying due to funding or resources?
    A: Yes, they are pushing their needs into 2025 due to subcontractor delays. Delays are mainly due to funding and rescheduling.

  8. CTG Partnership Impact
    Q: How will the CTG partnership affect your sales funnel?
    A: CTG will help accelerate funnel growth by pre-qualifying opportunities, especially in the Defense Industrial Base, leading to increased demand for both storefront and IP.

  9. First eFPGA on Intel 18A
    Q: Will you be first to offer eFPGA Hard IP on Intel 18A node?
    A: Yes, that is our target, and we believe we will be the first eFPGA company on Intel 18A node.

  10. Operating Expenses Outlook
    Q: How should we think about OpEx for the year?
    A: OpEx was $2.9 million in Q2, and we expect it to remain flat quarter-over-quarter through the end of the year.

  11. $40 Million Chiplet Deals
    Q: Is the $40 million in chiplet deals included in the $189 million funnel?
    A: No, the $40 million chiplet proposals are not entirely included in the $189 million funnel, as one project extends beyond the 2-year window.

  12. Connectivity Revenue Outlook
    Q: Is connectivity revenue expected to improve or decline?
    A: Some connectivity revenue was pushed from Q2 to the second half due to customer funding delays, but we expect it to improve going forward.

  13. Strategic Rad Hard Program Transition
    Q: How will the Strategic Rad Hard deal change after the third tranche?
    A: After development, we aim to become the storefront supplier of the resulting device, with market potential of several hundred million dollars beyond the $72 million development contract.

  14. Assurance of Deliverables
    Q: Are deliverables on track despite the lowered guidance?
    A: Yes, we have not lost any contracts to competitors, and we're performing on or ahead of schedule on all contracts.
