SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silvaco Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:SVCO) ("Silvaco" or the "Company"), a provider of TCAD, EDA software, and SIP solutions that enable innovative semiconductor design and digital twin modeling through AI software and innovation, today announced its second quarter 2026 results.

"Silvaco made solid progress on its strategic transformation in Q2," said Walden Rhines, Silvaco’s Chief Executive Officer. "We launched new partnerships with industry leaders, Nvidia and Dassault Systemes. We deepened our relationship with Micron Technologies. We won another FTCO customer and expanded our AI offerings to include Agentic solutions. We delivered on our commitment to drive to non-GAAP profitability in Q2 and saw record pipeline growth and revenue in IP. Looking forward, we expect more FTCO wins, more AI offerings, and more progress on profitable growth. These developments, coupled with our strengthening pipeline, give us confidence in expecting record revenue in Q4 and double-digit revenue growth again in 2027."

Chris Zegarelli, Silvaco’s Chief Financial Officer, added, "Silvaco’s record IP revenue in the quarter, combined with reduced spending, enabled us to deliver non-GAAP operating profitability in Q2 for the first time in almost two years. We also recently took steps to strengthen the balance sheet, including closing a $10 million investment from Micron Technologies. We are excited about our momentum and strengthening fundamentals and look forward to building on them in the quarters ahead."

Micron Technologies’ investment in Silvaco is part of an expanded relationship between the two companies. At the core of this collaboration is Silvaco’s FTCO platform, an AI-powered solution to create real-time Surrogate Models empowered by multiphysics-based simulations. These surrogate models abstract the complexity of full physics-based simulations and deliver real-time predictive insights.

"Real-time, AI-driven modeling is becoming a strategic advantage in advanced memory development, enabling our engineers to make faster, better-informed process decisions," said Gurtej Sandhu, Principal Fellow & CVP, Micron Technologies. "Silvaco’s FTCO platform has been instrumental in helping us achieve that, and we look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in next generation memory development."

Third Quarter Financial Outlook

As of August 6, 2026, Silvaco is providing guidance for its third quarter of 2026, which represents Silvaco’s current estimates of its operations and financial results. The financial information below represents forward-looking financial information and in some instances forward-looking, non-GAAP financial information, including estimates of Bookings, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses. GAAP gross margin is the most comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating expenses are the most comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP operating expenses. Non-GAAP gross margin differs from GAAP gross margin in that it excludes items such as stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs and restructuring, executive severance and other related costs. Non-GAAP operating expenses differ from GAAP operating expenses in that they exclude items such as acquisition related costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring, executive severance and other related costs. Silvaco is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort. Therefore, Silvaco has not provided guidance for GAAP gross margin or GAAP operating expenses or a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin or non-GAAP operating expenses to GAAP gross margin or GAAP operating expenses, respectively. However, it is important to note that these excluded items could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP in future periods.

Based on current business trends and conditions, the Company expects for third quarter 2026 the following:

Bookings of $18.0 million +/- 10%.
Revenue of $17.0 million +/- 10%.
Non-GAAP gross margin of around 88%.
Non-GAAP operating expenses of $14.5 million +/- 5%.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Business Metrics

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures and key business metrics to supplement the performance measures in our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. Key business metrics include bookings. We use these non-GAAP financial measures and key business metrics for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to assist us in evaluating period-to-period comparisons.

We define non-GAAP gross profit as our GAAP gross profit adjusted to exclude certain costs, including stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs, and restructuring, executive severance and other related costs. We define non-GAAP gross margin as the ratio of non-GAAP gross profit to revenue. We define non-GAAP operating income (loss), as our GAAP operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude certain costs, including acquisition related costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring, executive severance and other related costs. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as our GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude certain costs, including acquisition related costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, executive severance and other related costs, and the income tax effect on non-GAAP items. Our non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated in the same way as our non-GAAP net income (loss), but on a per share basis. We monitor non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the financial information we present in accordance with GAAP to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results.

Certain items are excluded from our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per share because these items are non-cash in nature or are not indicative of our core operating performance and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We adjust GAAP gross profit, GAAP gross margin, GAAP operating income (loss), GAAP net income (loss), and GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for these items to arrive at non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per share because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired. By excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core operating results, we believe that non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income (loss) per share provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others because they allow for additional information with respect to financial measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they may be used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze our financial performance and the health of our business. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures, and these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

We define a booking as a signed contract and related purchase commitment from a customer, based on the value set forth in a purchase order. We believe bookings are a useful metric to measure whether we are successful in our sales efforts with new and existing customers and provide an indication of trends in our operating results that are not necessarily reflected in our revenue. Reported bookings may be subject to adjustments and potential cancellations prior to the satisfaction of our customer obligations.
