Navitas Semiconductor Corp (NVTS) filed an SEC Form 8-K — Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Exhibit 99.1 Navitas Semiconductor Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results • Total revenue grew 33% sequentially and 38% year-over-year, driven by high-power markets and contributing to continued gross margin expansion • Anticipate another quarter of double-digit sequentia
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The disclosed growth rates and AI market focus could drive the stock higher, but operating losses remain sizable.
Market read
First‑report earnings and guidance for a niche AI power semiconductor player, with potential ripple effects across the AI hardware supply chain.
What to watch
High cash burn and operating losses could limit near‑term profitability despite revenue growth.
Third-quarter revenue was $14.0 million, up 33% sequentially and 38% year-over-year, while fourth-quarter revenue guidance calls for $16.0 million, plus or minus $0.5 million.
Revenue returned to year-over-year growth, high-power markets drove more than 50% sequential revenue growth, and GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins expanded. The company remains loss-making, with GAAP loss from operations widening year-over-year and GAAP net loss affected by restructuring and other expense.

What drove it
- High-power markets contributed more than 50% sequential revenue growth.
- The company cited lower amortization of intangible assets included in cost of revenues and higher revenue as the primary drivers of GAAP gross-margin expansion.
- Certain developed technology intangible assets became fully amortized during the third quarter.
- The company expects mobile and low-end consumer revenue to be essentially eliminated from its mix by year-end.
- The Claros acquisition added an IVR technology stack serving Vertical Power Delivery and Embedded Power Delivery architectures.
- Management said backlog extends into mid-2027 and book-to-bill is well above one.
Concerns
- GAAP loss from operations was $(34.4) million, compared with $(19.4) million in the third quarter of 2025.
- GAAP net loss was $(37.1) million, compared with $(19.2) million in the third quarter of 2025.
- Third-quarter GAAP results included $3,200 (dollars in thousands) of restructuring expense.
- The company identified risks around executing its transition to high-power markets, integrating Claros, market acceptance of 800 V and IVR architectures, competitive dynamics, customer concentration, and supply-chain execution.
What to watch
- Delivery of fourth-quarter net revenue guidance of $16.0 million, plus or minus $0.5 million.
- Progress toward non-GAAP gross margin guidance of 40.5%, plus or minus 100 basis points.
- Whether the company delivers its expected fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit sequential revenue growth.
- High-power-market growth and the expected year-end mix of more than 40% of total sales from AI Infrastructure.
- Execution of Claros integration and associated operating expenses included in fourth-quarter guidance.
- Conversion of backlog that management said extends into mid-2027.
Balance sheet and cash flow
- Cash and cash equivalents were $531.5 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $236.9 million as of December 31, 2025.

Analysis
Navitas reported third-quarter net revenues of $14.0 million, compared with $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2026 and $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. The company described the 33% sequential and 38% year-over-year increase as its first quarter of year-over-year growth since 2024. Management attributed momentum to high-power markets, whose revenue contribution grew more than 50% sequentially, while it continues to exit mobile and low-end consumer business.
Margin performance improved materially on both reported bases. GAAP gross margin was 21.5%, compared with 0.4% in the second quarter and (2.0%) a year earlier, while non-GAAP gross margin was 40.0%, compared with 39.5% sequentially and 38.7% year-over-year. The release attributed GAAP margin expansion to lower amortization of intangible assets in cost of revenues after certain developed technology assets became fully amortized during the quarter, as well as higher revenue.
Profitability remains the principal financial constraint. GAAP loss from operations was $(34.4) million versus $(27.2) million in the second quarter and $(19.4) million a year earlier, while GAAP net loss was $(37.1) million. Non-GAAP loss from operations narrowed sequentially to $(10.9) million from $(11.4) million, and non-GAAP net loss narrowed to $(6.9) million from $(9.3) million. The reported GAAP operating result includes $3,200 (dollars in thousands) of restructuring expense and $3,203 (dollars in thousands) of amortization of intangible assets.
The balance sheet shows cash and cash equivalents of $531.5 million at September 30, 2026, compared with $236.9 million at December 31, 2025. Subsequent to quarter-end, the company closed its acquisition of Claros on October 6, 2026. Management characterizes the acquired IVR technology as completing its grid-to-xPU portfolio and said fourth-quarter non-GAAP operating-expense guidance includes operational expenses from Claros.
For the fourth quarter, Navitas expects net revenues of $16.0 million, plus or minus $0.5 million, with the midpoint representing 14% sequential growth and 119% year-over-year growth. It guides to non-GAAP gross margin of 40.5%, plus or minus 100 basis points, and non-GAAP operating expenses of $25.0 million, plus or minus $1.0 million. The stated midpoint also represents full-year growth of 7%, supported by expected 125% revenue growth from high-power markets, according to the release.
Management, verbatim
Our strong third quarter results and the continued acceleration in high-power markets reflect the successful execution of our Navitas 2.0 transformation.
Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas
Our third quarter results demonstrate the sustained momentum from our Navitas 2.0 transformation, with revenue of $14 million representing 33% sequential growth and 38% year-over-year growth—the first quarter of year-over-year growth since 2024.
Tonya Stevens, CFO of Navitas
At the midpoint of our fourth quarter guidance, we expect to deliver the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit sequential revenue growth and exit 2026 as a high-power company with a strong book-to-bill ratio well above one and backlog that extends into mid-2027.
Tonya Stevens, CFO of Navitas
