TORONTO, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: PTK; NASDAQ: POET), the designer and developer of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), light sources and optical modules for the AI and data center markets, today reported its unaudited condensed consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s financial results as well as the Management Discussion and Analysis have been filed on SEDAR+. All financial figures are in United States dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise indicated.

Management Commentary:

“In the first quarter of 2025, we continued to build momentum across multiple fronts—technology innovation, commercial progress, strategic partnerships and production capacity – positioning the company for accelerated revenue growth in the second half of the year,” said Dr. Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman & CEO of POET Technologies. “The transition out of SPX in China into Malaysia was a timely and energizing event for the Company. Opening a 10,000 square foot clean room filled with wafer-level production tools at our partner, Globetronics, was the indispensable next step to accepting volume orders from AI and cloud data center customers. As we look ahead, we are building on the strong foundation of innovative products introduced at OFC, and the reaction of customers and partners, reinforces our conviction that POET is on the cusp of a meaningful revenue inflection later this year.”

Notable Business Highlights:

  • Shipped final design samples of its POET Infinity transmit product line for 400G and 800G applications to three major technology leaders. The products include 400G FR4, 800G 2xFR4 and 800G DR8 transmit formats, all assembled at our high-volume production facility in Malaysia.
  • Demonstrated its latest innovations, POET Teralight™, a line of 1.6T highly integrated transmit and receive optical engines and the new POET Blazar™, an advanced light source at the Optical Fiber Communications (“OFC”) Conference.
  • Partnered with Lessengers, an innovative optical solution provider based in South Korea, to offer a differentiated 800G DR8 transceiver

Non-IFRS Financial Summary
The Company reported non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) and product revenue of $166,760 in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $8,710 for the same period in 2024 and $29,032 in the fourth quarter of 2024. Historically, the Company provided NRE services to multiple customers for unique projects that are being addressed utilizing the capabilities of the POET Optical Interposer. The Company only had small product revenue in Q1 2025.

The Company reported a net income of $6.3 million, or $0.08 per share, in the first quarter of 2025 compared with a net loss of $5.7 million, or ($0.13) per share, for the same period in 2024 and a net loss of $30.2 million, or ($0.50) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. The net income in the first quarter of 2025 included research and development costs of $4.3 million compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2024 and $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Fluctuations in R&D for a Company of this size and this stage of growth is expected on a period-over-period basis as the Company transitions from technology development to product development.

The largest component of the Company’s income was from the non-cash gain in fair value adjustment to derivative warrant liability of $15.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to loss of $630,000 in the same period in 2024 and a loss of $12.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This non-cash item relates to warrants issued in a foreign currency and is periodically remeasured.

Other non-cash expenses in the first quarter of 2025 included stock-based compensation of $0.8 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.7 million. Non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization in the same period of 2024 were $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Fourth quarter 2024 stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization were $1.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company had non-cash finance costs of $33,000 in the first quarter of 2025 compared to non-cash finance costs of $20,000 in the first quarter of 2024 and non-cash costs of $32,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Company recognized other income, including interest of $528,000 in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $52,000 in the same period in 2024 and $511,000 in the fourth quarter of 2024.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 24.8% interest of SPX from SAIC. The acquisition of this interest resulted in a non-cash loss to the Company of $6,852,687. There was no impact of the acquisition transaction in the first quarter of 2025.

Cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter of 2025 was ($8.9) million compared to ($4.6) million in the first quarter of 2024 and ($8.7) million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains “forward-looking information” (within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws) and “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Such statements or information are identified with words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “potential”, “estimate”, “propose”, “project”, “outlook”, “foresee” or similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding any potential outcome. Such statements include the Company’s expectations with respect to its move of production capacity from China to Malaysia, the ability of its partners to install and operate production equipment, the reaction of customers and partners to the Company’s product offerings, the success of the Company’s product development efforts, the performance of its products, the expected results of its operations, meeting revenue targets, and the expectation of continued success in the financing efforts, the capability, functionality, performance and cost of the Company’s technology as well as the market acceptance, inclusion and timing of the Company’s technology in current and future products and expectations for approval of proposals at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders.

Such forward-looking information or statements are based on a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions which may cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated and which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, management’s expectations regarding its move of production capacity from China to Malaysia, the ability of its partner to meet production expectations, the reaction of customers and partners to the Company’s product offerings, the success and timing for completion of its development efforts, the introduction of new products, financing activities, future growth, recruitment of personnel, opening of offices, the form and potential of its joint venture, plans for and completion of projects by the Company’s consultants, contractors and partners, availability of capital, and the necessity to incur capital and other expenditures. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve high volume production in Malaysia on time, the failure of its products to meet performance requirements or to be produced in Malaysia on time and budget, the lack of sales in its products, once released, operational risks in the completion of the Company’s anticipated projects, risks affecting the Company’s ability to execute projects, the ability of the Company to generate sales for its products, the ability to attract key personnel, the ability to raise additional capital and the agreement by shareholders to approve proposals put forth by the Company at shareholders’ meetings. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information or statements are reasonable, prospective investors in the Company’s securities should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because the Company can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
