Q1 FY26 earnings call · May 12, 2026TL;DR. GCTS reported Q1 2026 net revenue of $1.9 million, up 287% year-over-year, driven by growing 5G chipset shipments (3,000 units, +58% sequentially) and expanded customer engagements, including a reference platform agreement with a major satellite communications provider for initial 5G shipments in 2H 2026; however, gross margin of 49% benefited from one-time service/license revenue, and management guides margins to normalize to high 30s/low 40s and expects operating expenses to step up to ~$8 million per quarter starting in Q3.
