Resonant Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual 2019 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
GOLETA, Calif. - March 10, 2020 --Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a leader in transforming the way radio frequency, or RF, front-ends are being designed and delivered for mobile handset and wireless devices, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and provided a business update.
“2019 was a pivotal year for Resonant,” stated George B. Holmes, Chairman & CEO of Resonant, “ At MWC 2019 we demonstrated our industry leading 5G XBAR® technology and subsequently signed strategic investment and commercial agreements with the world’s largest RF filter manufacturer for use of this technology for mobile applications. This commercial agreement contains prepaid royalties, diversifying our revenue streams beyond the per unit royalties we historically secure for our custom filter and Filter IP Standard Library-based designs.
“In 2020 we anticipate further broadening our potential revenue streams and expanding our served markets. Already in the first quarter, we signed prepaid license agreements that specify prepaid royalties as well as additional royalties once minimum volumes are exceeded, and we anticipate adding white label sales from our foundry supply chain. In addition, we are targeting the delivery of the first non-mobile samples, based on XBAR, in the first half of 2020.
“As many companies have already announced, the first half of 2020 may see lighter demand due to the seasonal weakness in the first quarter combined with challenges in the supply chain created by worldwide health concerns. However, our success in 2019 and in the first quarter of 2020 to secure multiple agreements with multiple parties that include prepayments should allow our momentum to continue in the first quarter and throughout 2020.”

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 and stock-based compensation 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.
