Guerrilla RF, a semiconductor company focused on high-performance MMICs for the wireless and infrastructure market, reported record total sales of $10.5 million in 2021, an increase of 30 percent as compared to $8.1 million in 2020. Product revenue in 2021 increased 63 percent to a record $9.8 million despite royalty revenue decreasing 69 percent to $652K as compared to $2.1 million in 2020. The decrease in royalty revenue was consistent with the Company’s plan to transition from a licensing model to a product sales model.
Product revenue to Guerrilla’s automotive end users increased 82 percent in 2021 to a record $4 million. Repeater end user product revenue doubled to $2.2 million, while sales to their 5G infrastructure end users product revenue remained steady at $1.8 million. Guerrilla’s total direct product costs increased to $4.3 million in 2021; thus, their overall contribution margin on product revenue was 69.6 percent in 2021 ($9.8 million in product revenue divided by $4.3 million in direct product costs). Cash on December 31, 2021 was $5.3 million.
“Our plan to transition from a licensing model to a proprietary product model has been immensely successful,” said Ryan Pratt, founder and CEO at Guerrilla RF. “We believe that we’re a best-in-class MMIC provider in the fast-growing automotive vertical, and we see extraordinary opportunities to launch new and exciting cutting-edge products in 5G infrastructure.”
