## Overview

Guerrilla RF, Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company that designs and sells high-performance RF MMIC products for wireless connectivity markets. It combines in-house design, applications, sales, and customer support with outsourced wafer fabrication, assembly, and test to serve customers through distributors, direct sales, and representatives.

## Products & services

• RF MMICs for wireless connectivity
• High-performance RF semiconductor products
• Custom linear amplifier development / NRE
• Royalty-based nonproduct revenue
• Technical applications and customer support

- **RF semiconductor products** (82%) — Standard catalog and new-product MMICs sold for wireless connectivity and RF signal chain applications.
- **Automotive RF products** (8%) — RF components designed for automotive applications, including ramps from newer design wins.
- **Wireless infrastructure products** (6%) — RF shipments used in infrastructure and network applications, which can be lumpy by customer ramp.
- **Nonproduct revenue** (4%) — Royalties and non-recurring engineering revenue from custom development and licensing arrangements.

## Customers

Guerrilla RF sells primarily through distributors, especially RFPD and RFMW, which serve many downstream end customers and account for a large share of product shipment revenue. The company also sells directly to selected customers, and its end markets include wireless infrastructure, automotive, and catalog/standard product buyers that value specialized RF performance and design support.

- **RF distributors** (primary) — RFPD and RFMW buy in volume and resell to many end customers, making them the main route to market and a key source of shipment revenue.
- **Wireless infrastructure customers** (primary) — Customers buying RF parts for infrastructure applications; demand can swing with product ramps and program timing.
- **Automotive customers** (secondary) — Buy RF products for automotive applications, including newer design wins that are beginning to ramp.
- **Direct sales customers** (secondary) — Customers served directly by Guerrilla RF for higher-value opportunities and closer technical engagement.
- **Royalty and NRE counterparties** (emerging) — Partners and prospective customers that generate royalty income or fund custom development work.

- RF product distributors such as RFPD and RFMW
- Wireless infrastructure customers needing RF components
- Automotive customers adopting new RF design wins
- Direct customers buying custom or higher-margin products
- End users reached indirectly through distributor channels

## Geography

Guerrilla RF is based in Greensboro, North Carolina, but its business is international because it sells to customers inside and outside the U.S. Management disclosed that international shipments were 37% of year-to-date sales in 2025 and 44% of Q3 2025 sales, while manufacturing is outsourced to foundries in Taiwan and Singapore and assembly/test suppliers in Malaysia and the Philippines. This makes the company exposed to cross-border logistics, trade policy, and supply-chain concentration even though the customer base is diversified across end markets.

- **United States** (63%) — Implied by 37% international shipments for YTD 2025
- **International** (37%) — Management disclosed 37% of YTD 2025 sales were international shipments

- Headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina
- Customers are located within and outside the U.S.
- International shipments were 37% of YTD 2025 sales
- Q3 2025 international shipments were 44% of sales
- Foundries in Taiwan and Singapore; assembly/test in Asia

## Strategy

Guerrilla RF is focused on expanding sales of new and existing high-margin products while continuing to invest in engineering and design capability. Management also emphasizes distributor-led growth, selective direct opportunities, and product innovation that can convert design wins into ramping revenue.

- **Increase sales of high-margin products** (short-term) — Mix improvement can support gross margin and reduce dependence on lower-value shipments.
- **Expand distributor-led growth** (short-term) — Distributors provide scale and access to many end customers without building a large direct sales footprint.
- **Convert design wins into ramps** (medium-term) — New product adoption can create recurring shipment volume after initial customer qualification.
- **Invest in engineering and applications support** (medium-term) — Technical differentiation is central to winning RF sockets in underserved markets.

- Grow sales of new and existing high-margin products
- Use distributor channels as the core growth engine
- Pursue direct opportunities when they create more value
- Invest in engineering and design to drive new revenue
- Expand design wins into production ramps

## Risks

The company is exposed to customer concentration, because a small number of distributors account for a large share of product shipment revenue. It also faces trade-policy and supply-chain risk from outsourced manufacturing in Asia, where tariffs, sanctions, logistics disruptions, and macro uncertainty can affect costs, margins, and demand.

- **Customer concentration** [high] — A few distributors generate most shipment revenue, so a slowdown or loss of one channel would materially affect sales.
- **Tariffs and trade restrictions** [high] — The company relies on cross-border manufacturing and sales, so trade policy can increase costs and disrupt supply or demand.
- **Supply-chain disruption** [medium] — Fabless operations depend on third-party foundries and subcontractors, making output vulnerable to capacity, lead-time, and logistics issues.
- **Demand volatility by end market** [medium] — Wireless infrastructure and design-win ramps can be uneven, causing quarter-to-quarter revenue swings.

- Heavy dependence on RFPD and RFMW for shipment revenue
- Tariffs and trade barriers can raise input and logistics costs
- Asian foundry and assembly concentration creates supply risk
- Demand can be lumpy when customer ramps end or pause
- International exposure adds FX and geopolitical uncertainty

## Accounting

Revenue recognition is important because the company sells a mix of product shipments, royalties, and NRE/custom development work, each of which can have different timing and measurement. Investors should also watch fair-value accounting for derivative and warrant liabilities, since management says these are among its most significant estimates and can create volatility in reported results.

- **Revenue recognition by stream** — Affects quarterly revenue timing and comparability
- **Derivative and warrant liabilities** — Can create non-cash income statement volatility
- **Equity financing valuation** — Can affect balance sheet and earnings presentation
- **Product mix and backlog timing** — Causes quarter-to-quarter variability in sales and margin

- Product shipments, royalties, and NRE may recognize differently
- Derivative and warrant liabilities rely on valuation estimates
- Equity financing valuation can affect reported results
- Quarterly revenue can swing with customer ramps and mix
- Gross margin changes with product mix and royalty volume
