Arizona Tribune - Peraso Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2025 / Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ:PRSO) ("Peraso" or the "Company"), a pioneer in mmWave wireless technology solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Management Commentary

"We had a notably strong third quarter, with total revenue increasing more than 45% sequentially driven by record quarterly revenue from our mmWave products," commented Ron Glibbery, CEO of Peraso. "Complementing our top-line growth in the quarter, we delivered solid gross margin, while prudently managing expenses, contributing to improved bottom-line results.

"Also, during the quarter, we secured multiple design wins with both existing and new customers. This included our announced collaboration with WeLink to accelerate the deployment of high-speed broadband across dense urban areas in the U.S. leveraging Peraso's 60 GHz technology. Then, in September, we received an initial production volume order from a new OEM customer valued at $0.9 million for the fixed wireless access equipment market. Most recently, we also completed initial field trials with our lead customer in the tactical communications market for a next-generation, mission-critical defense application.

"Our go-forward focus remains on further expanding our customer base and served markets that can benefit from the high-bandwidth, secure and power-efficient connectivity offered by Peraso's 60 GHz wireless solutions. This includes continuing to convert our pipeline of existing customer engagements into additional design-wins, spanning mmWave fixed wireless access and adjacent new market applications for our 60 GHz solutions."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $3.2 million, compared with $2.2 million in the prior quarter and $3.8 million in the same quarter a year ago. Product revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $3.1 million, compared with $2.2 million in the prior quarter and $3.8 million in the same quarter a year ago. The sequential increase in total revenue was primarily attributable to a continued ramp in shipments of mmWave products.

GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 56.2%, compared with 48.3% in the prior quarter and 47.0% in the same quarter a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 56.2%, compared with 48.3% in the prior quarter and 61.7% in the same quarter a year ago. The sequential increase in both the GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins for the third quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to a more favorable revenue mix of mmWave products and solutions, as well as shipments of inventory written down in prior periods.

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2025 were $3.0 million, compared with $2.9 million in the prior quarter and $4.5 million in the same quarter a year ago. Operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2025, which excluded stock-based compensation, were $2.9 million compared with $2.7 million in the prior quarter and $3.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. The year-over-year decrease in third quarter 2025 operating expenses on a GAAP basis was primarily attributable to reduced stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense related to intangible assets, which were fully amortized as of December 31, 2024.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.2 million, or ($0.17) per share, compared with a net loss of $1.8 million, or ($0.31) per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $2.7 million, or ($0.98) per share, in the third quarter 0f 2024. Non-GAAP net loss, which also excludes the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.1 million, or ($0.15) per share, compared with a net loss of $1.7 million, or ($0.28) per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $0.9 million, or ($0.34) per share, in the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was negative $1.0 million, compared with negative $1.6 million in the prior quarter and negative $0.8 million in the same quarter last year.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results and GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the financial statement tables following the text of this press release.

Business Outlook

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Peraso's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Peraso uses non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from the statement of operations the effects of stock-based compensation,amortization of reported intangible assets, severance costs, and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Peraso's management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors and other interested persons because they are one of the primary indicators that Peraso's management uses for planning and forecasting future performance. The press release also makes reference to and reconciles GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss) before interest expense, the income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization, as well as stock-based compensation, amortization of reported intangible assets, severance costs, and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because management does not consider these charges part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that would be used to evaluate management's operating performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which are provided in tables below the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, and management's explanation of why it considers such measures to be useful, refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 10, 2025, that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
