The company attributed the sales growth to new product launch ramps, increased use of its newer products, and the introduction of a new major customer product during the quarter.

Higher average selling prices also supported gross profit and margin, it added.

Research and development expenses rose 58.9% to $18m (US$14.1m), on the back of higher intellectual property and technology spending, and increased contractor, compensation, and stock-based compensation costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses climbed 39.4% to $12.7m (US$9.9m), reflecting higher stock-based and variable compensation, sales commissions, and costs associated with operating as a public company.

Ambiq’s operating loss narrowed slightly to $11.1m (US$8.7m) from $11.3m (US$8.8m).

Other income increased to $2m (US$1.6m) from $403,200 (US$315,000), mainly due to higher interest income earned on cash raised through its initial public offering and subsequent follow-on offerings.
