Ambiq Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Delivered record quarterly net sales, increasing approximately 90% year-over-year, driven by strong demand for edge AI solutions

Gross profit more than doubled year-over-year on higher net sales and margin expansion

Expect third quarter net sales of $36.0 million to $37.0 million, which would represent the sixth consecutive quarter of sequential growth

AUSTIN, Texas, August 11, 2026 — Ambiq Micro, Inc. (“Ambiq”) (NYSE: AMBQ), a technology leader in ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions for edge AI, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights

• Delivered strong net sales on growing edge AI demand momentum: Net sales increased approximately 90%, year-over-year, driven by accelerating edge AI demand across customers, end markets and products.

• Gross profit outpaced net sales growth: GAAP gross profit increased approximately 113% and non-GAAP gross profit increased approximately 109% year-over-year, with GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin expanding by 490 basis points and 450 basis points respectively.

• Enhanced financial flexibility to capitalize on growth opportunities ahead: Completed an upsized public offering in June, raising approximately $168 million in net proceeds.

• Expanded edge AI software stack: Launched heliaCORE and compressionKIT to accelerate customers' deployment of small footprint and energy efficient AI models on the Apollo SoC families. We also announced heliaPROFILER, a new open-source profiling tool that speeds customers' AI model development.

• Strengthened global capital markets access: Announced a dual listing on the Singapore Exchange Main Board under ticker AMQ, expanding investor reach across Asia and reinforcing our long-term growth strategy in the global semiconductor market.

Management Commentary

“Since the start of the year, we have seen a step-change in demand, further reinforcing our belief in the scale and durability of the edge AI opportunity. That momentum drove our net sales up approximately 90% year over year, marking our fifth consecutive quarter of growth, and we expect demand to strengthen even further in the second half of the year,” said Fumihide Esaka, CEO of Ambiq. “Given the rapid acceleration in AI demand, we and the broader semiconductor industry are facing supply constraints. Even with this, we are on pace to more than double net sales in the second half of 2026 compared to last year. We are acting decisively to expand capacity, support our customers and capture the full opportunity we see to enable the next generation of intelligent edge products."
