Arteris (AIP) Is Up 13.2% After Raising 2026 Revenue Guidance And Reporting Q1 Results

Simply Wall St.

In the past few days, Arteris, Inc. reported first-quarter 2026 results showing revenue of US$22.94 million versus US$16.53 million a year earlier, a slightly smaller net loss of US$7.96 million, issued higher revenue guidance for 2026, and announced the upcoming retirement of CFO Nicholas B. Hawkins. Alongside this, Arteris highlighted strong contracted revenue indicators, including increased annual contract value and remaining performance obligations, underscoring growing demand for its semiconductor system IP despite continued losses and integration costs from the Cycuity acquisition. With Arteris raising full-year 2026 revenue guidance, we’ll now examine how this updated outlook influences the company’s existing investment narrative. The best AI stocks today may lie beyond giants like Nvidia and Microsoft. Find the next big opportunity with these 16 smaller AI-focused companies with strong growth potential through early-stage innovation in machine learning, automation, and data intelligence that could fund your retirement. To own Arteris, you need to believe its network on chip and security IP can convert a growing AI and automotive design footprint into a scalable, software like revenue base while eventually narrowing persistent losses. The key near term catalyst is execution on this higher 2026 revenue outlook and contracted backlog. The biggest risk remains that operating costs and integration spending stay elevated, prolonging losses. The latest results modestly support the catalyst without materially changing that risk balance. The most relevant update here is Arteris lifting full year 2026 revenue guidance to US$91.0 million to US$95.0 million after delivering US$22.94 million in Q1. That higher range leans on strong annual contract value and remaining performance obligations and will likely shape how investors weigh the upside from AI related design wins against ongoing losses and customer concentration, especially after the Cycuity acquisition. Yet beneath the stronger guidance, investors should still be aware of how rising R&D and integration costs could... Read the full narrative on Arteris (it's free!)

Arteris, Inc. Q1 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby

Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Record performance was driven by the rapid integration of AI into electronics, with two-thirds of current customer engagements now focused on AI chips. The enterprise computing sector, including data centers and high-bandwidth memory, has become the company's largest licensing vertical, surpassing automotive. Royalty revenue grew 67% year-over-year, fueled by a diversifying base of high-volume customers in automotive, consumer, and enterprise computing. Management attributes increased adoption to the rising complexity of chiplets and multi-die systems, which require advanced network-on-chip technology for efficient data movement. The acquisition of Semifore has strategically positioned the company to address critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities during the chip development phase. Operational leverage is being achieved by limiting operating expense growth to 50% of revenue growth, specifically through disciplined G&A spending. Management expects to reach the strategic milestone of non-GAAP operating profitability as early as the fourth quarter of 2026. Guidance for 2026 was raised across all top and bottom-line metrics based on a strong start to Q2 and an upward trend cycle in the semiconductor market. The company plans to deploy two new products for optimized chiplet and multi-die system IP into production during 2026, targeting AI and ADAS designs. Future royalty growth is expected to benefit from shorter design cycles in the data center and AI infrastructure segments compared to traditional automotive timelines. The company will no longer provide quarterly free cash flow guidance due to fluctuations caused by increasing average deal sizes, focusing instead on annual targets. CFO Nick Hawkins announced his retirement effective August 31, 2026, following a seven-year tenure that included the company's IPO and three acquisitions. The first quarter results included $3 million in deal consideration and fees related to the closing of the Semifore acquisition. Cost of revenue now includes subcontractor costs for the first time, specifically related to certain security government contracts. Management highlighted that while data center chips command higher prices, they typically have shorter lifecycles and lower...

Charlie Janac

Thank you, Erica, and thanks to everyone for joining us on our call today. The first quarter of 2026 was a robust quarter for Arteris as we reached another record annual contract value plus royalties of $92.8 million, representing a 39% year-on-year increase. We also achieved record revenue, record royalties, and record revenue backlog. Customer engagement in the quarter included both existing customer renewals as well as adding new logos. We won license deals in enterprise computing, automotive communications, consumer electronics, and aerospace and defense sectors. AI integration into all types of electronics from data centers to edge devices and physical AI systems is increasing the demand for advanced connectivity and security products, and now two-thirds of our customer engagements are into AI chips. New chips and chiplets continue to get more complex and perform more advanced computing.

Charlie Janac

Efficient, safe, and secure data movement within those devices is essential, which is driving the growing adoption of Arteris products and solutions. Every semiconductor must move data to be a chip or chiplet. Rapidly advancing data movement powered by chips is evident in recent earnings releases by semiconductor companies. Many of these companies are also Arteris customers and have both beaten their first quarter revenue projections and raised guidance for the year. This performance has clearly flowed through into our royalty stream, which has increased 67% year-over-year. Enterprise computing, which includes data centers, High Performance Computing or HPC, including High Bandwidth Memory or HBM, and other AI infrastructure companies, was again the biggest contributor to our licensing activity in the quarter. This includes a leading global hyperscaler, which expanded its use of Arteris' Network-on-Chip technology for its next generation of data center chips.

Charlie Janac

Advanced AI data centers are experiencing strong demand for HBM, and I'm pleased to say that another leading global memory supplier is now utilizing Arteris system IP to accelerate their memory chip development. Automotive also continues to be a strong sector for us, where our technology is helping to meet the needs of physical AI systems. An example was an important first quarter deal announcement with Renesas that increased their licenses and deployed our system IP for their most advanced R-Car Gen 5 SoC series. Tailored for advanced driver assistance and automatic driving systems, this latest SoC delivers AI performance of up to 400 trillion operations per second, or TOPS, with multi-die chiplet extensions to boost AI performance using Arteris' Network-on-Chip technology for silicon data movement.

Charlie Janac

Communication with efficient, safe, and secure data movement is also playing an increasingly important role in transmitting data, particularly between data centers and edge and endpoint devices. In the first quarter, one of the leading European 5G and 6G communications equipment players further expanded their use of Arteris technology to accelerate the integration of advanced telecommunication chips. Satellites extend communications into aerospace and defense, where the pace of innovation and development of advanced, resilient, safe, and secure semiconductors is growing rapidly. In the first quarter, a leading U.S. space infrastructure company expanded its use of Arteris for the development of next-generation space applications. Beyond Earth's orbit, it was a pleasure to see the success of the Artemis 2 mission, where AMD chips with built-in Arteris technology were used to support critical sensor fusion, data routing, and image processing for the Orion spacecraft.

Charlie Janac

This is yet another example of Arteris use in data-intensive space exploration. We continue to see adoption of our FlexGen smart NoC IP at major accounts and startups. We are also working with early adopters on 2 products for optimized chiplet and multi-die system IP, which we anticipate deploying in production during the second half of 2026, with focus on AI, HPC, and ADAS designs. We broadened our system IP portfolio, which addresses key aspects of advanced chip design through the acquisition of Cycuity, a leading chip cybersecurity company. This technology is critical to the security of chips regardless of their complexity. We are starting the process of leveraging our deep relationships with over 200 semiconductor design companies and are already seeing strong interest from many of these customers across many verticals, including data center, aerospace and defense, consumer, automotive, and communications.

Charlie Janac

By way of example, a top 5 U.S.-based hyperscaler, which is an existing Arteris customer, has licensed Arteris security technology in the 1st quarter to help mitigate cybersecurity risks. The ever-increasing focus on cybersecurity threats is highlighting the need for our solutions, which identify and help mitigate cybersecurity vulnerabilities during chip development phase before silicon mass production. We recently announced a collaboration with MIPS to accelerate the development of physical AI chips. MIPS will use Arteris' FlexGen smart NoC IP and Magillem SoC integration automation software to help accelerate the development of scalable SoC platforms targeting high-growth markets in physical AI, including automotive microcontroller units, MCUs, and advanced driver assistance systems, ADAS, robotics, and embedded computing. Lastly, Arteris was named to Fast Company's list of the world's most innovative companies of 2026.

Charlie Janac

Arteris ranks number 4 in the most innovative companies in the North America category, as this year's list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry through their innovations. Arteris joins the ranks of Google, Nvidia, Anthropic, and more in Fast Company's 2026 list of world's most innovative companies. Arteris also won a Stevie Award for 2026 Technology Innovation of the Year in the software category for our Cycuity semiconductor cybersecurity products. On an organizational front, today, we also announced that Nick Hawkins, our CFO, has chosen to retire effective August 31, 2026. Nick will take us through our Q2 report and continue to serve as an advisor to Arteris after his retirement date to facilitate an orderly transition. Nick leaves the company in great shape with no debt, positive free cash flow, and major contributions to three acquisitions.

Charlie Janac

Nick has been an invaluable partner during a transformative period for Arteris. We thank Nick for his dedication to the company and wish him all the best. With that, I'll turn it over to Nick to discuss our financial results in more detail.

Nick Hawkins

Thank you, Charlie. Good afternoon, everyone. It has been a rewarding and enjoyable experience to help lead Arteris through an important stage in its development. I am proud of the exceptional finance team we have built and what the company has accomplished. During my seven years at Arteris, in addition to leading the company through its IPO, I've also led our M&A processes, including the important recent acquisition of the cybersecurity company, Cycuity. Arteris has grown substantially in revenue and market capitalization, is now cash flow positive, and is transitioning to profitability this year. It has been a privilege to serve under Charlie and our excellent Board, alongside our industry-leading Leadership Team and all our people. Arteris is well positioned for the future, and I look forward to following the company's continued progress in the years ahead.

Nick Hawkins

As I review our first quarter results for 2026 today, please note I will be referring to GAAP as well as non-GAAP metrics. Please note also that a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financials is included in today's earnings release, which is available on our website. Also, as a reminder, I will be referring to the Q1 2026 earnings presentation, which can be found in the investor relations section of the company's website under the Events and Presentations tab. We had a strong first quarter, beating the top end of our revenue and ACV plus royalties guidance and meeting the top end of our non-GAAP operating income guidance range. Turning to slide 5 of the presentation. Total revenue for the first quarter was $22.9 million, up 39% year-over-year and above the top end of our guidance range.

Nick Hawkins

Notably, training 12-month royalties was $7.9 million, 67% higher year-over-year, setting a new record high. Our royalty stream today is fueled by a balanced mix of customers across all our vertical markets. Our large royalty reporters, which we define as over six-figure dollars per quarter, are in automotive, consumer, enterprise computing, and aerospace and defense. The number of customers reporting a quarter million-plus royalty dollars has grown from 1 a year ago to 3 currently, further highlighting our rapidly diversifying and growing royalty revenue stream. At the end of the first quarter, ACV plus royalties was $92.8 million, up 39% year-over-year, above the top end of our guidance range and at a new record high.

Nick Hawkins

Remaining performance obligations, or RPO, which is our contracted future revenue at the end of the first quarter totaled $118 million, 33% higher year-over-year and another record high for Arteris. We expect just over half of our RPO at the end of the first quarter will be recognized as revenue in the 12 months starting April 1, 2026. Non-GAAP gross profit in the quarter was $20.1 million, representing a gross margin of 87%. GAAP gross profit in the quarter was $19.7 million, representing gross margin of 86%. This now reflects for the first time the inclusion of subcontractor costs as cost of revenue for certain security government contracts. Now moving to slide 6. Non-GAAP operating expense in the quarter is $22.6 million.

Nick Hawkins

In line with our operating leverage goals, we are maintaining our commitment to limit overall growth in OpEx to 50% of our revenue growth. We believe that our investments into product development and customer success will help to accelerate our top line growth in the coming years. At the same time, we are delivering operating leverage, which is being driven across all cost categories, and we remain disciplined in our spending and investments, in particular in G&A spending, which has on average grown at less than 1/4 of the rate of revenue on a non-GAAP basis over the last 3 years. This has resulted in a 31 percentage point improvement in non-GAAP operating margin over that period. Total GAAP operating expense for the first quarter was $29 million, which included acquisition-related expenses of $0.6 million in the first quarter.

Nick Hawkins

non-GAAP operating loss in the quarter was $2.5 million at the top end of our guidance range. GAAP operating loss for the first quarter was $9.3 million compared to a loss of $7.7 million in the prior year period. non-GAAP net loss in the quarter was $1.2 million or diluted net loss per share of $0.03. GAAP net loss in the quarter was $8 million or diluted net loss per share of $0.17. Moving to slide seven and turning to the balance sheet and cash flow. We ended the quarter with $41.9 million in cash equivalents, and investments, and we have no financial debt.

Nick Hawkins

Free cash flow, which includes capital expenditure, was negative $7.4 million in the first quarter, including approximately $3 million deal consideration elements and fees related to the Cycuity acquisition that closed in the quarter. I would now like to turn to our outlook for the second quarter and the full year 2026 and refer now to slide 8. First, starting with the next quarter, we will no longer be guiding quarterly free cash flow. As our average deal size continues to grow, we believe that the consequent fluctuations in quarter-to-quarter operating cash flows make the guidance of this KPI less helpful to investors. Additionally, on an annual basis, we are already free cash flow positive, having delivered that in 2025 and guiding increased positive free cash flow for 2026. This was our first strategic financial objective.

Nick Hawkins

We are now focused on delivering our next strategic financial objective, the inflection to non-GAAP profitability towards the end of the current year. For the second quarter of 2026, we expect ACV plus royalties of $95 million-$99 million, revenue of $23 million-$24 million, non-GAAP operating loss of $3 million-$2 million, free cash flow of positive $2 million to positive $8 million. As we look forward to the full year of 2026, we are seeing continued strength in semiconductors and signs of an upward trend cycle in the market. Consequently, we are raising our guidance for the full year on top and bottom line metrics.

Nick Hawkins

For the full year 2026, our guidance is as follows: ACV plus royalties to exit 2026 at $102 million-$106 million, an increase of $2 million from prior guidance. Revenue of $91 million-$95 million, $2 million higher than prior guidance, and representing a 32% year-over-year increase at the midpoint. Non-GAAP operating loss of between $8.5 million-$4.5 million, an improvement of $0.5 million from prior guidance. Non-GAAP free cash flow of positive $5 million-positive $9 million. We're seeing a strong start to the second quarter, with momentum and increasing customer engagement leading us to believe that we will see continued strength in the second half of the year.

Nick Hawkins

Building on our strong revenue growth, coupled with carefully focused expense discipline that is delivering operating leverage, we continue to believe that Arteris is on a path to profitability, and we expect to report a non-GAAP operating profit for a period as early as the fourth quarter of the current year. With that, I will turn the call back to the operator for the Q&A portion of the call.

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question-and-answer session. Should you have a question, please press star followed by the number 1 on your touch tone phone, and you will hear a prompt that your hand has been raised. If you wish to decline from the polling process, please press the star followed by the number 2. We'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Kevin Cassidy of Rosenblatt. Please go ahead.

Kevin Cassidy

Yes, thanks for taking my question, and congratulations on the great results. Nick, congratulations on a successful career, and all the best as you go through the next stage.

Nick Hawkins

Thank you, Kevin.

Kevin Cassidy

My question Yes. Yeah, on the hyperscaler design win and the, also the high bandwidth memory, what's the timeline of those products coming to market or generating royalties? I guess I'm trying to get a feel, is there a acceleration in any of these hyperscaler ASICs or any of these development?

Nick Hawkins

Hey.

Kevin Cassidy

Sorry.

Nick Hawkins

Kevin, this is Nick. Let me handle the royalties part of that question. You know, generally speaking, the design cycles in that space are a little bit quicker than you'd expect in, say, automotive, which is quite a long design cycle, as you know, can be up to 6 years in some cases. In this sphere, it's more like 2 to 3 years that we'd expect to see something floating through from that.

Kevin Cassidy

Okay. Same with on the High Bandwidth Memory?

Nick Hawkins

Similar. Yeah.

Charlie Janac

Yeah. I mean, those are all going into data center AI, those are basically some of the quickest design cycles that we see. Also, the volumes are actually more significant than they used to be in the past. These products have a much faster churn than like Nick said, the automotive, for example. They rise quicker and they also die quicker.

Kevin Cassidy

Okay. Yeah, that was gonna be my next question is the life cycle of the products as they come to the market. Also, I would imagine as they go down the process to smaller process nodes, the price of the products go up, so your overall royalties could be increasing compared to the past generation.

Charlie Janac

yeah. I mean.

Nick Hawkins

Yeah, that's true, Kevin. Sorry, Charlie.

Charlie Janac

These tend to be high-priced chips.

Kevin Cassidy

Right. Right. And getting more expensive, those. Yes. Okay, great. Thank you.

Operator

Once again, if you wish to ask a question, please press star one to join the queue. Your next question comes from the line of Joshua Buchalter of TD Cowen. Please go ahead.

Joshua Buchalter

Hey, guys. Thank you for taking my question. Congrats on the results. You know, more importantly, best wishes and a big thank you to Nick on your next endeavor. Yeah, I guess to start maybe big picture, as we think about the raise of the annual guidance, how much of this would you categorize as coming from the better royalty environment that you spoke to just from better chip sell-through versus, you know, increased confidence in licensing deals that are, you know, that you expect to sign over the next several quarters? Thank you.

Nick Hawkins

Let me take that one, Charlie. Josh, thanks for your kind words. It's been a pleasure, I've got to say. On the increased guidance, I'll say just one general thing, which is, you know, philosophically, we tend to be careful on our guidance. We're very mindful of guiding our friends on the street diligently. We don't like to get over our skis on guidance, but we are seeing a very strong trajectory in royalties. The 12 months trailing was up 67%. Actually year-over-year first quarter, interestingly, was up over 100%. We are seeing a nice pick up there, and we're seeing more people reporting bigger and bigger numbers.

Nick Hawkins

That's part of it. There is, I would categorize the first quarter as robust and good for a deal flow perspective in dollars. The start to the second quarter was very strong. We actually had the strongest April on record in terms of deal flow by a significant margin. Something like 4 times bigger than the next biggest April we've ever seen. We're seeing a lot of activity. We're seeing a really strong pipeline on deals. I think that we want to wait until we're a little further through the quarter to see if this robustness continues and persists before we look at future guidance.

Joshua Buchalter

Okay. Thank you for all the color there. And then maybe following up on some of Kevin's questions earlier. You know, you've been highlighting some pretty sizable hyperscale data center wins, I think with, you know, FlexGen, but other IP over the last few quarters. How should we think about the scale of data center overall compared to your, you know, the historic auto exposure? You know, given it moves faster, as you mentioned in response to Kevin's, like, what's a reasonable timeframe at which that could be, you know, a more meaningful portion of overall revenue in the model? Thank you.

Charlie Janac

Yeah, I mean, the data center segment from a license perspective is growing, you know, very nicely, right? On the royalty side, because data center, though the chips are higher priced, the volumes are lower, you know, we expect automotive to be, you know, continue to be a pretty solid royalty generator. On the license side, we're definitely seeing solid growth from our data center customers.

Nick Hawkins

If I can add to that also, from a quantitative perspective, Josh, Enterprise is now, which is where our data center business resides, in our verticals, is now the largest of our verticals in terms of license generation. It's slightly now higher than automotive, which used to be the number 1. They're both in the sort of 30%-35% range. What's interesting is aerospace and defense now, partially as a result of the addition of Cycuity, is now close to 10% of our ACV. It's an interesting developing field.

Joshua Buchalter

Thank you for the color, both.

Operator

Once again, if you wish to ask a question, please press star 1 to join the queue. We have a follow-up question from Kevin Cassidy of Rosenblatt. Please go ahead.

Kevin Cassidy

Hey. Yeah, thanks for taking my follow-up question. Just on the Cycuity acquisition and now that you've had them for a quarter or so, can you say is it coming in better than expected? Yeah, I guess if you could give us a, you know, what's the pipeline look like from here?

Charlie Janac

We've really started in middle of January, so it's early days. There were some pretty good government orders in flight, which we closed. That's very promising. For the second quarter, we're starting to see some very, very promising deals from the commercial side. We think that this acquisition is gonna turn out just fine. Cybersecurity, because of the Mythos product and other sort of AI-based technologies, the cybersecurity is coming to forefront. We think that all of our customers, of which there's more than 200, can use the Cycuity product. We're very excited about the potential, but it looks promising, but it's relatively early days.

Kevin Cassidy

Okay. Thank you.

Operator

There are no further questions at this time. I will now turn the call over back to Charlie Janac for closing remarks.

Arteris, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIP) Just Reported Annual Earnings And Analysts Are Lifting Their Estimates

Simply Wall St.

Shareholders might have noticed that Arteris, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIP) filed its full-year result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 2.1% to US$14.62 in the past week. The business exceeded expectations with revenue of US$71m coming in 2.3% ahead of forecasts. Statutory losses were US$0.82 a share, in line with what the analysts predicted. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. We've gathered the most recent statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their earnings models, following these results. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Arteris from four analysts is for revenues of US$91.0m in 2026. If met, it would imply a substantial 29% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Losses are supposed to decline, shrinking 14% from last year to US$0.66. Before this latest report, the consensus had been expecting revenues of US$83.2m and US$0.63 per share in losses. So it's pretty clear consensus is mixed on Arteris after the new consensus numbers; while the analysts lifted revenue numbers, they also administered a modest increase to per-share loss expectations. Check out our latest analysis for Arteris It will come as a surprise to learn that the consensus price target rose 5.2% to US$20.25, with the analysts clearly more interested in growing revenue, even as losses intensify. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on Arteris, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$24.00 and the most bearish at US$16.00 per share. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable. These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Arter...
