Executive summary

  • Revenue for H1 2025 increased 13% year-over-year to $103.0m, but bookings fell 29% to $159.4m due to customer uncertainty following the announced Qualcomm acquisition.

  • Operating loss widened to $172.8m from $48.3m in H1 2024, driven by higher R&D, acquisition-related costs, and impairments.

  • Adjusted EBITDA loss deepened to $43.0m (negative 42% margin) from $11.8m (negative 13% margin) in H1 2024.

  • The Group disposed of its WiseWave joint venture in June 2025, recording no gain or loss as the investment was previously written down.

  • The recommended acquisition by Qualcomm, valuing the Group at $2.4bn, is expected to close in Q1 2026, pending regulatory approvals.

Financial highlights

  • Gross margin declined to 38% from 45% year-over-year due to higher NRE project costs and increased commissions.

  • Net debt increased to $231.4m from $171.9m at December 2024 and $141.6m at June 2024.

  • Pre-tax operating cash outflow was $15.3m, compared to an inflow of $50.4m in H1 2024, despite a $90.6m working capital improvement.

  • Bookings for License and NRE dropped 47% year-over-year, while Royalties and Silicon bookings rose 139%.

Outlook and guidance

  • Anticipated customer ASIC tapeouts and conversion of bookings into revenue are expected to drive significant revenue growth in H2 2025.

  • The acquisition by Qualcomm is expected to enhance the Group’s platform and market reach, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
