Insights


The Q2 FY2025 results reveal concerning trends with $4.6 million in revenue, down 20.3% year-over-year. Gross margin deteriorated significantly to 38.6% from 54.7% last year, impacted by unfavorable product mix and severance costs. The net loss widened to $5.5 million ($0.21 per share) despite cost-cutting measures targeting $3.5 million in annual savings.

The company’s cash position of $18.4 million provides some runway, but with quarterly operating losses and significant R&D expenses of $4.8 million, cash burn remains a concern. While management signals potential SRAM business improvement and new AI-related opportunities, the forward guidance of $4.7-5.5 million for Q3 suggests continued revenue challenges.

The shift in revenue mix is noteworthy, with military/defense sales increasing to 40.2% of shipments while premium SigmaQuad products declined to 38.6% from 55.8% year-over-year. Nokia’s reduced contribution at 17.8% of revenues indicates concerning customer concentration risks. The potential collaboration on AI chip development presents a growth opportunity, but execution and timing remain uncertain amid challenging market conditions and ongoing cash burn.












SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GSI Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSIT) today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Lee-Lean Shu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are seeing early indications of a turnaround in our SRAM business. Existing customers are depleting their channel inventory, and we anticipate they will resume ordering in the upcoming quarters. Furthermore, we expect a significant increase in orders from an existing customer over the next 12 months. This opportunity for additional orders involves collaborating on a cutting-edge product for a leading AI chip developer, which is expected to drive consistent demand for this customer’s equipment and our SRAM chips going forward.”

Mr. Shu continued, “Looking at our financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we reported revenue of $4.6 million, which aligns with the midpoint of our guidance. Our gross margin was affected by product mix and severance costs associated with workforce reductions. In the second quarter, we implemented strategic cost-cutting measures expected to yield annual savings of $3.5 million. These initiatives include workforce reductions across all departments and enhanced operational efficiencies. As a result, we anticipate a significant decrease in cash burn, which, when combined with an improved revenue outlook, is expected to extend our financial runway.”

Mr. Shu concluded, “We are on track to meet our deadlines for the Gemini-II benchmarking project and remain committed to fulfilling our SBIR contract with the U.S. Air Force Labs by December 31, 2024, followed by the delivery of the software algorithm in the first quarter of calendar 2025.”

Commenting on the outlook for GSI’s third quarter of fiscal 2025, Mr. Shu stated, “Our current expectations for the upcoming third quarter are net revenues in a range of $4.7 million to $5.5 million, with gross margin of approximately 50% to 52%.”
