Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), a next-generation power semiconductor company and a leader in gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) technology, reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025. The reports present a picture of a company navigating industrial challenges while undertaking a renewed strategic focus on high-growth markets and making financial and operational moves to strengthen its future position.

Financial Highlights: Revenue, Losses, and Cash Reserves

In the second quarter of 2025, Navitas recorded revenues of $14.5 million, a figure reflecting a slight increase compared to $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, but a decrease from $20.5 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The GAAP operating loss was $21.7 million, compared to a loss of $31.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating loss narrowed to $10.6 million, compared to a loss of $13.3 million in the prior-year quarter and $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. This reduction in operating loss indicates an improvement in the company’s operational efficiency.

The company’s cash and cash equivalents grew significantly to $161.2 million as of June 30, 2025. This growth is largely due to a strategic capital raise, in which the company generated $100 million in additional capital ($97 million net cash proceeds) from the sale of common shares. The capital raised will be used to support development and growth expectations, primarily for AI data centers and related energy infrastructure.

Strategic Focus on AI and Key Partnerships

CEO Gene Sheridan stated, “We are sharpening our focus on AI data centers and energy infrastructure”. This focus is built on collaboration with NVIDIA and other leaders in the sector. The company estimates that its GaN and SiC technologies can support a 100x increase in server rack power capacity for AI data centers, with a market potential of $2.6 billion by 2030.

Navitas is working in collaboration with NVIDIA to develop three stages of power conversion for next-generation 800V data centers. Each stage, which leverages Navitas’ GaN and SiC technologies, has a significant market potential of its own. The development timeline includes final engineering samples expected in Q4, with final supplier selections and system designs to be completed in 2026, ahead of volume production in 2027.

Additionally, Navitas announced a partnership with Powerchip for the manufacturing of best-in-class 200mm (8”) GaN, with the goal of achieving higher levels of integration, lower costs, and greater capacity.

Shift in Business Focus and its Implications

Navitas intends to sharpen its focus within the mobile, consumer, and appliance sectors to serve and lead the high-end, premium segments. This decision is expected to reduce revenue dependence on these sectors, improve margins over time, and enable increased focus and investment in AI data centers and energy infrastructure without an increase in near-term operating expenses.

Concurrently, the company continues to demonstrate innovation in the mobile sector. Recently, in collaboration with Xiaomi, they announced the world’s smallest and fastest charger to date, delivering 90W in the size of a typical 12W silicon charger.

Outlook and Volatility: Market and Regulatory Challenges

Navitas’ near-term outlook reflects the complexity of the business environment. Third-quarter 2025 net revenues are expected to be $10.0 million, plus or minus $0.5 million, largely due to “China tariff risks and a more selective mobile strategy”. Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter is expected to be 38.5% plus or minus 50 basis points, and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $15.5 million.

The company states that its strategy depends on the successful creation and expansion of new markets, which may lead to periods of inconsistent or lower-than-expected revenue growth. These risks include uncertainty in market acceptance, unpredictable competitive dynamics, industry volatility, changes in trade policy, and supply risks.

Summary: Navitas Semiconductor – An Innovative Company Undergoing Repositioning

Navitas Semiconductor reported a strong second quarter of 2025 with a recovery in operational profitability and a bold strategic move to raise capital and refocus on markets with immense potential, such as AI data centers. Collaborations with NVIDIA and manufacturing partners solidify its ability to continue innovating and delivering advanced technological solutions. Despite a decrease in revenue compared to the prior year and market challenges characteristic of the semiconductor industry, management expresses confidence in its vision. The strategic shift, along with mitigating operational risks, positions Navitas strongly to navigate a competitive market and become a key player in the AI revolution.
