If an emerging growth company, indicate by check mark if the registrant has elected not to use the extended transition period for complying with  any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. ☐

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 10, 2025, Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release should be read in conjunction with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, which are included in the text of the release.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management also presents information regarding the Company’s performance over comparable periods based on cost of goods sold, operating expenses (research and development and sales, general and administrative), operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, exclusive of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, severance costs and change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Because management discloses financial measures calculated without taking into account these items, these financial measures are characterized as “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Stock-based compensation charges represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company. Although these are recurring charges to the Company’s operations, management believes the measurement of these amounts can vary considerably from period to period and depend substantially on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within management’s control. Thus, management believes that excluding these charges facilitates comparisons of the Company’s operational performance in different periods, as well as with similarly determined non-GAAP financial measures of comparable companies.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude amortization of intangibles recorded from the Company’s acquisition of Peraso Technologies Inc. (“Peraso Tech”) in December 2021. Management believes the amortization does not represent operating expenses ordinarily incurred by the Company with respect to its core business. Thus, these charges are excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to provide another basis for evaluating and comparing the Company’s performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. There was no amortization recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as the intangibles were fully amortized on December 31, 2024.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude severance costs. In November 2023, the Company implemented an employee lay-off and terminated certain consulting positions (the “Reductions”) to reduce operating expenses and cash burn, as the Company prioritized business activities and projects that it believes will have a higher return on investment. As part of the Reductions, the Company imple

Thus, these charges are excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to provide another basis for evaluating and comparing the Company’s performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude severance costs. In November 2023, the Company implemented an employee lay-off and terminated certain consulting positions (the “Reductions”) to reduce operating expenses and cash burn, as the Company prioritized business activities and projects that it believes will have a higher return on investment. As part of the Reductions, the Company implemented a temporary lay-off that impacted 16 employees (the “Employees”) of Peraso Tech. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company determine

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 16, 2024, Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release providing a business update and announcing unaudited preliminary revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the sections of the Press Release incorporated by reference herein, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The information set forth in the Press Release, solely to the extent such information references the Company’s expectation for the preliminary revenue estimate for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, together with the paragraphs set forth under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements,” is incorporated by reference into Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Because the Company’s financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 have not yet been finalized or audited and remain subject to change, the Company’s final results for such periods may differ materially from the unaudited preliminary financial information included in the Press Release. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the unaudited preliminary financial information included in the Press Release.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 13, 2024, Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release should be read in conjunction with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, which are included in the text of the release.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management also presents information regarding the Company’s performance over comparable periods based on cost of goods sold, operating expenses (research and development and sales, general and administrative), operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, exclusive of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Because management discloses financial measures calculated without taking into account these items, these financial measures are characterized as “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Stock-based compensation charges represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company. Although these are recurring charges to the Company’s operations, management believes the measurement of these amounts can vary considerably from period to period and depend substantially on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within management’s control. Thus, management believes that excluding these charges facilitates comparisons of the Company’s operational performance in different periods, as well as with similarly determined non-GAAP financial measures of comparable companies.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude amortization of intangibles recorded from the Company’s acquisition of Peraso Technologies Inc. in December 2021. Management believes the amortization does not represent operating expenses ordinarily incurred by the Company with respect to its core business.  Thus, these charges are excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to provide another basis for evaluating and comparing the Company’s performance for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude change in fair value of warrant liabilities. In November 2022 and June 2023, the Company issued warrants to an investor in registered direct offerings. These warrants were initially recorded at fair value and are re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. The change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities is recorded as other income (expense) in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss), as reported on the Company’s consolidated statements of

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 18, 2024, Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release should be read in conjunction with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, which are included in the text of the release.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management also presents information regarding the Company’s performance over comparable periods based on cost of goods sold, operating expenses (research and development and sales, general and administrative), operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, exclusive of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Because management discloses financial measures calculated without taking into account these items, these financial measures are characterized as “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Stock-based compensation charges represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company. Although these are recurring charges to the Company’s operations, management believes the measurement of these amounts can vary considerably from period to period and depend substantially on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within management’s control.

In accordance with its goodwill accounting policy, in December 2022, the Company performed an assessment to identify possible goodwill impairment and concluded the goodwill carrying value was greater than its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $9.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The impairment charge has been presented as a separate line item within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) estimates its total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023, to be in the range of approximately $1.6 million to $1.9 million. The Company’s estimated royalty and other revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023 is projected to be in the range of approximately $0.1 million to $0.4 million.

The Company’s estimated total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 is projected to be in the range of approximately $13.6 million to $13.8 million. The Company’s estimated royalty and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 is projected to be in the range of approximately $0.7 million to $0.9 million.

The following table details estimated revenue by product category for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023:

($ in millions) Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended

Product category December 31, 2023

Memory ICs $    1.2 $   8.4

mmWave ICs 0.2 2.8

mmWave antenna modules 0.1 1.7

$1.5 $12.9

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.6 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of approximately $0.9 million from September 30, 2023. The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended December 31, 2023 was attributable to proceeds from the end-of-life of the Company’s memory products.

The Company is currently in the process of finalizing its consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 and, therefore, its actual results for these periods are not yet available and have not been audited. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the estimated preliminary results set forth above and will not be finalized until after the Company completes its normal year-end accounting procedures. The Company’s preliminary results set forth above reflect management’s best estimate of the impact of events during the year and are based on the information currently available to the Company as of the date hereof.

Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these preliminary estimates.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 13, 2023, Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release should be read in conjunction with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, which are included in the text of the release.

Because management discloses financial measures calculated without taking into account these items, these financial measures are characterized as “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Stock-based compensation charges represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company. Although these are recurring charges to the Company’s operations, management believes the measurement of these amounts can vary considerably from period to period and depend substantially on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within management’s control. Thus, management believes that excluding these charges facilitates comparisons of the Company’s operational performance in different periods, as well as with similarly determined non-GAAP financial measures of comparable companies.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude amortization of intangibles recorded from the Company’s acquisition of Peraso Technologies Inc. Management believes the amortization does not represent operating expenses ordinarily incurred by the Company with respect to its core business. Thus, these charges are excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to provide another basis for evaluating and comparing the Company’s performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss), as reported on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, depreciation, and the provision (benefit) for income taxes.

Management and the Company’s board of directors will continue to analyze the historical consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (revenue, cost of goods sold, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share) and adjust

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 15, 2023, Peraso Inc.  (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release should be read in conjunction with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, which are included in the text of the release.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management also presents information regarding the Company’s performance over comparable periods based on cost of goods sold, operating expenses (research and development and sales, general and administrative), operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, exclusive of stock-based compensation,  amortization of intangible assets and the change in fair value of warrant liability. Because management discloses financial measures calculated without taking into account these items, these financial measures are characterized as “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Stock-based compensation charges represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude the change in fair value of warrant liability. In November 2022, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant to an investor in connection with a registered direct offering of common stock. The warrant, which was classified as a liability, was initially recorded at fair value and is re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 8, 2022, Peraso Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release should be read in conjunction with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, which are included in the text of the release.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management also presents information regarding the Company’s performance over comparable periods based on operating expenses (research and development and sales, general and administrative), operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, exclusive of stock-based compensation, a deemed dividend on inducement of conversion of Class C preferred shares, accretion of preferred shares presented as dividends, effect of foreign exchange on preferred shares, amortization of intangible assets, business combination transaction costs and change in fair value of warrant liability. Because management discloses financial measures calculated without taking into account these items, these financial measures are characterized as “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Stock-based compensation charges represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company. Although these are recurring charges to the Company’s operations, management believes the measurement of these amounts can vary considerably from period to period and depend substantially on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within management’s control. Thus, management believes that excluding these charges facilitates comparisons of the Company’s operational performance in different periods, as well as with similarly determined non-GAAP financial measures of comparable companies.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude deemed dividends. In 2020, the Company reported a deemed dividend on inducement of conversion of Class C preferred shares, accretion of preferred shares presented as dividends, and effect of foreign exchange on preferred shares. On March 13, 2020, the Company also issued common shares, upon conversion of all outstanding Class C preferred shares based on an amended conversion price. As a conversion inducement, the Company amended the ratio for the conversion of the Class C preferred shares into common shares from 1:1 to 1:1.25. The Company determined that the additional common shares issuable arising from such modification were required to be recognized as a deemed dividend.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude amortization of intangibles and business combination transaction costs, that resulted from

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 11, 2021, MoSys, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release should be read in conjunction with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, which are included in the text of the release.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management also presents information regarding the Company’s performance over comparable periods based on operating expenses (research and development and sales, general and administrative), operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, exclusive of stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges, a one-time deemed dividend and gains on extinguishment of debt. Because management discloses financial measures calculated without taking into account these items, these financial measures are characterized as “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Stock-based compensation charges represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company. Although these are recurring charges to the Company’s operations, management believes the measurement of these amounts can vary considerably from period to period and depend substantially on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within management’s control. Thus, management believes that excluding these charges facilitates comparisons of the Company’s operational performance in different periods, as well as with similarly determined non-GAAP financial measures of comparable companies.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude deemed dividends. In April 2020, the Company completed an offering of common stock (the “Offering”). As a result of the Offering, the exercise price of 1,845,540 common stock purchase warrants issued in a public offering of securities completed in October 2018 was reduced from $6.00 to $2.40 per share. The Company accounted for the warrant exercise price adjustment as a deemed dividend, which increased the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude gains on debt extinguishment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company made repayments on the principal balance and accrued interest of its outstanding senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”). In connection with the repayments and subsequent settlement of the Notes, the Company recorded a gain on the extinguishment of the Notes. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s outstanding promissory note with Wells Fargo Bank N.A., which w
