Management Commentary
“In Q1, we completed a public offering that injected significant capital into the company, and shortly after, we reached an agreement with one of our largest investors to expand the size of our board and avoid a proxy contest at this year’s stockholders’ meeting,” said George B. Holmes, CEO of Resonant. “These events have positioned us to capitalize on the momentum we have established since early 2016, which we believe has made Resonant a significantly more valuable company.
“Today, Resonant is in the strongest position in its history. Our balance sheet is healthier than ever, ending the first quarter with approximately $33 million in cash, which we expect to take us to cash flow break-even territory. From a capability standpoint, we’ve continued to invest in our ISN Platform, IP and team to ensure we continue to grow and execute on the promise of delivering designs faster, better and cheaper for our customers. We have more customers, with stronger relationships than ever before, with over 50 designs contracted of increasing complexity that total a potential value of over $450 million in end product revenues for our customers. We also enabled two completely new segments of the market-fabless filter companies and pure play foundries/packaging companies -and have continued to expand that footprint in 2018.”
Holmes, continued: “We have also de-risked the technology, as filters that utilize our designs are now included in two separate handsets available on the market today, which has been confirmed by independent teardowns. As a result of these wins, we have also achieved a new milestone with over 10 million units shipped in Q1 of 2018. With these successes, we are including for the first time
limited revenue guidance for the balance of 2018. As volumes continue to ramp, we expect a better line of sight towards future revenues, and ultimately, profitability, and will update our financial guidance as visibility improves.
“Given this strength, we expect 2018 to be a breakout year for Resonant. Our continued execution will allow us to grow our customer base and expand agreements with current customers-all while continuing to invest in our core infrastructure to ultimately support a much more robust and mature organization.”

Note about Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures. Other companies may use different non-GAAP measures and presentation of results.
In addition to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and adding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and warrant inducement expenses. The company believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of net loss, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is an integral part of the Company’s internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, is available in the accompanying financial tables below. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

About Resonant’s ISN® Technology
Resonant can create designs for difficult bands, modules and other complex RF Front End requirements that we believe have the potential to be manufactured for half the cost and developed in half the time of traditional approaches. ISN is a suite of proprietary mathematical methods, software design tools and network synthesis techniques that enable us to explore a much larger set of possible design solutions that regularly incorporate our proprietary technology. We then quickly deliver design simulations to our customers, which they manufacture or have manufactured by one of our foundry partners. These improved solutions still use Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or Temperature Compensated Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW) manufacturing methods and perform as well as those using higher cost manufacturing methods such as Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW). Resonant's method delivers excellent predictability, enabling achievement of the desired product performance in roughly half as many turns through the fab. In addition, because Resonant's models are fundamental, integration with its foundry and fab customers is seamless because its models speak the "fab language" of basic material properties and dimensions.
Safe Harbor / Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, which include the following subjects, among others: the status of filter designs under development, the capabilities of our filter designs, the timing and amount of future royalty streams, our views on future financial performance and the timing for reaching cash flow break-even, the sufficiency of our cash for planned operations, and the potential future licensing of our designs to existing and new customers. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the following: our limited operating history; our ability to complete designs that meet customer specifications; the ability of our customers (or their manufacturers) to fabricate our designs in commercial quantities; our customers’ ability to sell products incorporating our designs to their OEM customers; changes in our expenditures and other uses of cash; the ability of our designs to significantly lower costs compared to other designs and solutions; the risk that the intense competition and rapid technological change in our industry renders our designs less useful or obsolete; our ability to find, recruit and retain the highly skilled personnel required for our design process in sufficient numbers to support our growth; our ability to manage growth; and general market, economic and business conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements are under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K) or Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements.
