CAMPBELL, Calif., Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arteris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIP), a leading provider of semiconductor technology for accelerating innovation in the AI era, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 and provided estimated first quarter and full year 2026 guidance.
"In the fourth quarter of 2025, we again delivered strong financial results, including a new record of Annual Contract Value plus royalties reaching $83.6 million, representing 28% year-over-year growth. During the quarter, our customers surpassed the milestone of more than four billion systems shipped with SoCs connected by Arteris System IP, and we enjoyed royalty growth of 50% year-over-year," said K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris. "As cybersecurity threats intensify not just in software but the underlying hardware used across data centers, edge devices, and mission-critical systems, our recent acquisition of Cycuity strengthens Arteris' ability to help customers secure data movement in silicon through proven technology and deep domain expertise. Combined with the acceleration of AI use in semiconductors and the ever increasing SoC complexities created by the proliferation of chiplet-based, multi-die architectures, Arteris is well positioned to deliver on these transformative opportunities," concluded Janac.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:
-- Revenue of $20.1 million, up 30% year-over-year -- Annual Contract Value $(ACV)$ plus royalties of $83.6 million, up 28% year-over-year, growing to the highest level we have ever reported -- Remaining performance obligation (RPO) of $116.8 million, up 32% year-over-year, growing to the highest level we have ever reported. We expect approximately half of our RPO will be recognized as revenue in 2026. This projection excludes cancelable and non-cancelable Flexible Spending Accounts. -- Operating loss of $8.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $7.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 -- Non-GAAP operating loss of $2.2 million, compared to a Non-GAAP operating loss of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 -- Net loss of $8.5 million or $0.19 per share -- Non-GAAP net loss of $2.3 million or $0.05 per share -- Non-GAAP free cash flow of positive $3.0 million or 15% of revenue

advanced industrial systems, and consumer electronics. This deployment
includes Ncore cache coherent interconnect, FlexNoC non-coherent
interconnect, CodaCache last-level cache IP, and Magillem software for
SoC integration;
