The filing confirms that the 2025 plan included a 19% workforce reduction and states that no restructuring-related liabilities under that plan remained as of March 31, 2026. The filing does not separately quantify the completed workforce reduction, but it supports that the plan’s restructuring obligations were concluded. (5 met across 5 tracked commitments)
“Material weaknesses will be considered remediated once controls have been effectively designed, implemented, and tested over a sustained period. While management expects these actions to be effective, the exact timing of completion remains uncertain. We expect our remediation will be complete by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 or sooner.”
The qualification target is Q4 2025 and the mass-production target is H1 2026. As of this report, neither timeline had arrived, and the filing provides no new qualification milestone or schedule change. (1 not yet due across 1 tracked commitment)
“To mitigate this risk, the Company is expanding its collaboration with Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (“Powerchip”), with initial device qualification expected in the fourth quarter of 2025 and mass production targeted for the first half of 2026.”
The risks described remain material in the reported results: revenue fell 39% year over year, while management continues to position the company toward high-power markets. The filing does not quantify a high-power revenue or margin target, nor does it attribute the decline to qualification, manufacturing, or product-performance problems, so those specific risks cannot be judged as realized. (2 in progress across 2 tracked commitments)
“The decline in sales of $5.4 million or 39% was primarily due to the decrease in sales of mobile in the Asia region, primarily China, and consumer markets.”
Management states that the high-power-market transition may require additional capital and that these products entail greater upfront R&D investment and longer payback periods.
“This transition may also require additional capital to execute upon our strategy, which may not be available to us when we need it or on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to secure the capital needed to execute upon our strategic initiatives, our business operations could be materially affected. Products for AI data centers, performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure and industrial electrification generally require larger, more complex die sizes, advanced process nodes, and longer qualification cycles than consumer products, leading to greater up-front R&D investments and longer payback periods.”
Management is redirecting strategy toward AI data centers, performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification, while reducing emphasis on mobile and consumer markets.
“We recently announced an enhanced focus on AI data centers, performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure and industrial electrification, and a de-emphasis on mobile and consumer products. We may not successfully execute our strategic transition to these new markets and customer applications, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.”

How durable is the business?
Europe's share of end-customer revenue expanded from 8% in Q3 FY24 to 17% in Q3 FY25, an increase of 9 percentage points (112.5% relative). The nine-month share also increased from 9% to 13%. (5 expanding)
“Our products are designed to improve system efficiency, increase power density, enhance thermal performance, and reduce overall system size and cost compared to traditional silicon-based technologies. By leveraging the electrical properties of wide-bandgap (“WBG”) materials such as GaN and SiC, our solutions enable higher switching frequencies, higher voltage operation, and improved energy efficiency.”
The company announced a strategic pivot in late 2025 away from mobile and consumer products toward higher-power applications. This is a strategic mix shift, but the filing provides no revenue share or growth figures for the target markets, so realized revenue growth cannot yet be established. (1 shifted)
“The Navitas 2.0 Restructuring Plan shifts the Company away from consumer-oriented, short-life-cycle segments toward long-term programs in AI data centers, energy and grid infrastructure, performance computing and industrial electrification.”
Cost of revenue fell faster than revenue, and its share of revenue improved from 84% to 61%. This indicates a more favorable gross-margin profile in the quarter, which management attributed partly to a shift in sales mix toward high-power products. Gross margin before intangible amortization increased from about 16% to 39%. (1 shifted across 1 engine)
“Net revenues $ 10,529 $ 14,490 ... (27)% ... The decline in sales of $4.0 million or 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $9.4 million or 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily due to the decrease in sales of mobile in the Asia region, primarily China, and consumer markets.”
China's share of end-customer revenue fell from 60% in FY2024 to 47% in FY2025, a 13 percentage-point decrease, or 21.7% relative decline. The filing links the overall revenue contraction primarily to weaker mobile and consumer demand in China. (1 contracting)
“China 47% 60%; United States 28% 16%; Asia excluding China 11% 15%; Europe 14% 8%.”
Total revenue contracted year over year: $21.681 million in Q3 FY24 to $10.112 million in Q3 FY25, down 53.4%. For the nine months, revenue fell from $65.324 million to $38.620 million, down 40.9%. The filing reports one operating segment and does not disclose separate revenue for GaN, SiC, or other product lines. Management attributed the quarterly decline mainly to weaker mobile and consumer sales in China while the company shifts its focus toward high-power markets. (2 contracting)
“China $ 3,637 35 % $ 8,984 62 % ... The decline in sales of $4.0 million or 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 ... was primarily due to the decrease in sales of mobile in the Asia region, primarily China, and consumer markets.”

Where does growth come from?
US end-customer revenue share rose from 9% in Q2 2023 to 14% in Q2 2024, a 5-point increase. The six-month comparison was nearly unchanged at 10% versus 11%, so the Q2 increase is a positive recent mix shift but not yet evidence of a sustained, accelerating expansion trend. The filing does not state a US expansion target or quantify US market share. (4 accelerating, 1 reversing across 5 signals, 4 leading indicators)
“We focus primarily on high-power markets, including AI data centers, energy and grid infrastructure, performance computing, and industrial electrification.”
Cost of revenue was 61.0% of revenue in Q2 2024, compared with 58.5% in Q1 2024 and 58.5% in Q2 2023. The latest quarter therefore reversed the earlier year-over-year improvement, with the cost ratio worsening by about 2.5 percentage points from Q1 and Q2 last year. The filing attributes the increase in costs partly to lower gross-margin mobile sales; it does not quantify a higher-power mix margin benefit. (2 reversing, 1 new trend, 2 steady across 5 signals)
“This was primarily driven by a decline in sales as well as a shift in sales mix toward high-power products.”
Revenue is highly dependent on one distributor: Distributor A accounted for 71% of Q2 revenue, compared with Distributor B at 54% a year earlier. This points to concentrated channel exposure; it does not establish end-customer concentration or demonstrate broader customer growth. — Largest distributor share of revenue: Up from Distributor B's 54% share in Q2 2025; not a like-for-like customer comparison
“The following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: Distributor A 71% [Q2 2026]; Distributor B 54% [Q2 2025].”
Current sales momentum is weak: Q2 revenue was $10.529 million, down 27% year over year, mainly because mobile sales in Asia—particularly China—and consumer-market sales declined. Management did not provide a recovery target or timeline. — Net revenue and mobile/consumer demand: Revenue declined 27% YoY
“The decline in sales of $4.0 million or 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $9.4 million or 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily due to the decrease in sales of mobile in the Asia region, primarily China, and consumer markets.”

What could break the thesis?
Hong Kong accounted for 54% of Q3 2025 revenue and 57% for the first nine months, down from 67% and 71%, respectively, in the comparable 2024 periods. The later baseline reports 76% for both Q2 and the first half of 2026. This indicates the channel-region concentration intensified after this filing, although the filing also reports that end-customer revenue is attributed separately and should not be read as proof that end demand is located in Hong Kong. (5 intensifying, 5 high-severity)
“We expect to continue to incur net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and we expect our research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures will increase as we continue to grow.”
Distributor concentration was severe in Q3 2025: Distributor B represented 51% of quarterly and nine-month revenue, while Distributor C contributed 14% of quarterly and 11% of nine-month revenue. The later baseline shows Distributor A at 71% of Q2 2026 revenue and 69% of first-half revenue. Since the largest reported share rose from 51% to 71%, this concentration risk intensified. (2 intensifying, 1 stable, 1 high-severity)
“Distributor A 71 % * 69 % *”
Revenue was already falling materially in this earlier quarter: Q3 2025 revenue declined 53% year over year to $10.1 million, and nine-month revenue declined 41% to $38.6 million. The filing attributes the decline mainly to mobile and consumer sales in China. Compared with the later baseline, the decline moderated to 27% in Q2 2026 and 33% for the first half of 2026, so the demand risk is easing, but remains significant. (2 easing, 1 intensifying, 1 high-severity)
“The decline in sales of $4.0 million or 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $9.4 million or 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily due to the decrease in sales of mobile in the Asia region, primarily China, and consumer markets.”
Inventory increased while sales declined, which raises the risk that products could take longer to sell or require price cuts if demand remains weak. The company also cites distributor and customer ordering changes, including unexpected cancellations, as a risk. [DEMAND]
“Total $ 19,510 $ 13,283”
Cost of revenue fell 42% in 2025, slightly less than the 45% revenue decline, implying gross margin contracted modestly: approximately 31.5% in 2025 versus 34.0% in 2024, before considering separately presented amortization. The filing attributes the lower cost mainly to reduced sales volume and the absence of a prior-year inventory reserve, rather than demonstrating a durable margin improvement from high-power product mix. The later baseline reports cost of revenue at 62% of first-half 2026 revenue versus 73% in first-half 2025, suggesting reported margin improved in the newer period; however, the filing cautions that mix and lower sales affect the comparison. Overall, the trend is easing based on the later reported cost ratio, with durability still uncertain. (2 easing)
“For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, cost of revenue decreased by $5.7 million or 47% and $9.1 million or 43% respectively. This was primarily driven by a decline in sales as well as a shift in sales mix toward high-power products.”
