October 29, 2026 4:01 PM EDT

LOS GATOS, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ­­ Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ: ATOM), a semiconductor materials and technology licensing company, today provided a corporate update and announced financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2026.

Atomera

Recent Company Highlights

  • Increased engagement count to three customers in gate-all-around
  • Signed a Joint Development Agreement with IQE to bring high-performance, cost-effective RF GaN to market
  • Demonstrated simpler, lower cost approach to enable next-generation DRAM transistors with MST

Management Commentary

"This quarter we expanded our customer engagements in the advanced logic and memory segments, where AI continues to drive the need for higher transistor performance. Our ground-breaking nano-scale diffusion blocking work for gate-all-around transistors has generated interest not only with the GAA foundries, but also with designers of next generation memory solutions" said Scott Bibaud, president and CEO of Atomera. "While work in our traditional business is taking off, we also took an important step toward commercializing our GaN-on-silicon solutions by signing a joint development agreement with IQE, a leading supplier of compound semiconductor wafers."

Financial Results

The Company incurred a net loss of ($6.0) million, or ($0.15) per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of ($5.6) million, or ($0.17) per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) in the third quarter of 2026 was a loss of ($4.6) million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of ($4.4) million in the third quarter of 2025.

The Company had $34.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of Sept. 30, 2026, compared to $19.2 million as of December 31, 2025. 

The total number of shares outstanding was 39.1 million as of September 30, 2026.

Note about Non-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.
