Exhibit 99.1
Navitas Semiconductor Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

•Record sales in GaN mobile fast-charger market
•New, low-voltage GaN technology enters 48V Al data center, EV and robotics markets
•Strategic partnership with Infineon Technologies enables customer dual sourcing
•Streamlined market focus and cost structure improve path to profitability

TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 04, 2024 — Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the only pure-play, next-generation power semiconductor company and industry leader in gallium nitride (GaN) power ICs and silicon carbide (SiC) technology, today announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“I'm pleased to announce record sales in the mobile fast-charger market plus a completely new GaN platform for 48V Al data centers, EV and AI robotics applications in conjunction with a new, strategic, dual-sourcing partnership with Infineon,” said Gene Sheridan, CEO and co-founder. “Despite macro-economic challenges, we continue to grow faster than the market, and the new, low-voltage GaN platform not only opens up new strategic markets, but also brings customers dual-sourcing options from Navitas and Infineon for added confidence to accelerate adoption of GaN into new mainstream, high­ volume applications.”
The company also announced a cost-reduction plan that is expected to save $2 million per quarter and streamline the organization with increased focus on Al data center, EV and mobile applications, accelerating the company’s path to profitability. The plan includes a 14% reduction in headcount (approximately 45 employees).
3Q24 Financial Highlights
•Revenue: Total revenue was $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $22.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, and $20.5 million in the second quarter of 2024.
•Loss from Operations: GAAP loss from operations for the quarter was $29.0 million, compared to a loss of $28.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 and a loss of $31.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, loss from operations for the quarter was $12.7 million compared to a loss of $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, and a loss of $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2024.
•Cash: Cash and cash equivalents were $98.6 million as of September 30, 2024.


Market, Customer and Technology Highlights
•New, Low-voltage (LV) GaN Platform (80-200V): Optimized for 48V systems in Al data center, EV, and motor drive, sampling in Q4 2024, with strategic dual-sourcing partnership with Infineon Technologies. Common specifications (packaging, pin-out, footprint and IP) to accelerate customer adoption of GaN into high-volume, mainstream applications.
•Al Data Center: New 98%-efficient, 8.5 kW Al power supply reference design with high-voltage (HV) GaN+SiC architecture launched as well as proprietary lntelliWeave™ PFC control technique to deliver extreme power density demanded by NVIDIA's Hopper-Blackwell-Rubin Al GPU roadmap. High-voltage GaNSafe power ICs and Gen-3 ‘Fast’ SiC devices are featured in over 60 active customer projects with direct customers such as Delta, GreatWall, Compuware and LiteON, supplying end-users like AWS, Azure and Google. Our data center production revenues started in Q3 as expected and will continue ramping throughout 2025.
•EV: Leading-edge, trench-assisted, planar-gate Gen-3 ‘Fast’ SiC devices now fully AEC QlOl (automotive) qualified and pushing beyond. Six new on-board and road-side charger design wins in Q3, expected to ramp in 2025 and 2026. Largest pipeline segment, with 200+ projects. New, LV GaN platform optimized for 48V battery EV applications.
•Mobile & Consumer: GaNSlim ICs achieved another 26 design wins in Q3. Three new tier-l OEM wins expected to deliver revenue ramping Q2'25, adding to the Samsung wins announced in August.
•Appliance & Industrial: Thirty new design wins in Q3, ranging from vacuum cleaners and LED lighting, to solid-state, grid-connected circuit-breakers, multi-kW power supplies and heat pumps. New, LV GaN platform addresses 48V industrial motor drives including Al robotics.
•Solar & Energy Storage: Ten design wins, including at Generac, expected to ramp mid-2025. Next-gen GaN ICs – including Navitas-proprietary, industry-leading bi-directional GaN ICs – continue on track for significant mid-2025 ramp in solar micro-inverters. New, LV GaN doubles TAM in inverters, as complement to HV GaN and SiC.
Business Outlook

Fourth quarter 2024 net revenues are expected to be between $18.0 and $20.0 million. Non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter is expected to be 40% plus or minus 50 basis points and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $20.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and statements in our public webcast include financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which we refer to as “non-GAAP financial measures,” including (i) non-GAAP gross profit margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating expenses, (iii) non-GAAP research and development expense, (iv) non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense, (v) non-GAAP loss from operations, (vi) non-GAAP operating margin, and (vii) non-GAAP loss and loss per share. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted from GAAP results to exclude certain expenses which are outlined in the “Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures offer an additional view of our operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the results of operations. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Note Regarding Customer Pipeline Statistic

“Customer pipeline” reflects estimated potential future business based on interest expressed by potential customers for qualified programs, stated in terms of estimated revenue that may be realized in one or more future periods. All customer pipeline information constitutes forward-looking statements. Customer pipeline is not a proxy for backlog or an estimate of future revenue, nor should it be considered as any other measure or indicator of financial performance. Rather, Navitas uses customer pipeline as a statistical metric to indicate the company’s current view of relative changes in future potential business across various end markets. Time horizons vary based on product type and application. Accordingly, actual business realized depends on whether potential customers ultimately choose the Navitas solution, the portion of the customer program awarded to the Navitas solution as compared to other sources in dual- or multiple-source cases, successful customer qualification of the selected solution, the time needed for customers to begin production, the duration and pace of the customer’s ramp to full production, and strategic decisions of Navitas throughout the process based on expected revenues, margins and other factors relating to pipeline opportunities discussed below under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release, including the paragraph headed “Business Outlook,” includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The term “customer pipeline” and related information constitute forward-looking statements. Other forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “we expect” or “are expected to be,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Customer pipeline and other forward-looking statements are made based on estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and market share and current indications of customer interest, all of which are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release. All such statements are based on current expectations of the management of Navitas and are not predictions of actual future performance. Forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions and expectations. Many actual events and circumstances that affect performance are beyond the control of Navitas, and forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the possibility that the expected growth of our business will not be realized, or will not be realized within expected time periods, due to, among other things, the failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our business and operational systems; the effect of acquisitions on customer and supplier relationships, or the failure to retain and expand those relationships; the success or failure of other business development efforts; Navitas’ financial condition and results of operations; Navitas’ ability to accurately predict future revenues for the purpose of appropriately budgeting and adjusting Navitas’ expenses; Navitas’ ability to diversify its customer base and develop relationships in new markets; Navitas’ ability to scale its technology into new markets and applications; the effects of competition on Navitas’ business, including actions of competitors with an established presence and resources in markets we hope to penetrate, including silicon carbide markets; the level of demand in our customers’ end markets and our customers’ ability to predict such demand, both generally and with respect to successive generations of products or technology; Navitas’ ability to attract, train and retain key qualified personnel; changes in government trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and the regulation of cross-border investments, particularly involving the United States and China; other regulatory developments in the United States, China and other countries; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or other epidemics on Navitas’ business and the economies that affect our business, including but not limited to Navitas’ supply chain and the supply chains of customers and suppliers; and Navitas’ ability to protect its intellectual property rights.

These and other risk factors are discussed in the Risk Factors section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as amended in our Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on July 23, 2024, the Risk Factors section of our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and in other documents we file with the SEC. If any of the risks described above, and discussed in more detail in our SEC reports, materialize or if our assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove to be incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Navitas is not aware of or that Navitas currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Navitas’ expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Navitas anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Navitas’ assessments to change. However, while
Navitas may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Navitas specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Navitas’ assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.
