PR Newswire
LOS GATOS, Calif., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ: ATOM), a semiconductor materials and technology licensing company, today provided a corporate update and announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Recent Company Highlights
- Announced a new approach to GaN-on-Silicon that addresses a key performance barrier for RF applications
- Continued strong progress with GAA customers
- Growing interest from DRAM and flash memory providers
Management Commentary
“This quarter Atomera made excellent progress with customer engagements across our key target markets, in particular the advanced logic and memory segments where AI is creating the need for further performance improvements,” said Scott Bibaud, president and CEO of Atomera. “In the past, RF designers have avoided using GaN for high volume applications because of the high cost and complexity of working with GaN on Silicon Carbide. Our breakthrough results with RF GaN on silicon have the potential to enable an entirely new class of RF devices which can now take advantage of the performance improvements GaN provides with the low cost of silicon substrates.”
Financial Results
The Company incurred a net loss of ($6.3) million, or ($0.17) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of ($5.0) million, or ($0.17) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) in the second quarter of 2026 was a loss of ($5.0) million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of ($4.0) million in the second quarter of 2025.
The Company had $38.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment as of June 30, 2026 compared to $19.2 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.
The total number of shares outstanding was 39.0 million as of June 30, 2026.

GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the unaudited results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in this press release, Atomera presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and eliminating the impacts of interest, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the definitions of similarly-titled measures used by other companies. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is used as part of the Company’s internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A table reconciling this measure to the comparable GAAP measure is available in the accompanying financial tables below.

Safe Harbor
This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning Atomera Incorporated, including statements regarding the prospects for the semiconductor industry generally and the ability of our MST technology to significantly improve semiconductor performance. Those forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Among those factors are: (1) the fact that, to date, we have only recognized minimal engineering services and licensing revenues thus subjecting us to all the risks inherent in an early-stage enterprise; (2) the risk that licensees or JDA customers do not advance to royalty-based manufacturing and distribution licenses; (3) our ability to add other licensees and/or JDA customers; (4) risks related to our ability to raise sufficient capital, as and when needed, to pursue the further development, licensing and commercialization of our MST technology; (5) our ability to protect our proprietary technology, trade secrets and know-how and (6) those other risks disclosed in the section “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur.
