Silvaco Group (NASDAQ:SVCO) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.09 EPS

Silvaco Group (NASDAQ:SVCO) announced its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported ($0.03) EPS for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of ($0.12) by $0.09, FiscalAI reports. Silvaco Group had a negative net margin of 65.34% and a negative return on equity of 22.60%. The company had revenue of $18.25 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $16.38 million. The company’s quarterly revenue was up 2.2% on a year-over-year basis.

Here are the key takeaways from Silvaco Group’s conference call:

• For Q4 the company beat guidance with $18.3M in bookings and revenue, non‑GAAP gross margin around 85%, and a non‑GAAP operating loss of roughly $1M — materially better than expected.
• AI-driven FTCO adoption accelerated ahead of plan (second customer, Asia, outside memory), driving TCAD bookings up 70% sequentially to $9.2M and revenue up 34% to $8.7M, and management expects TCAD to grow sequentially in Q1 and for the full year 2026.
• The Mixel acquisition powered record IP revenue/bookings (> $5M in Q4); Mixel’s MIPI PHY and new PRO products (silicon‑proven across multiple foundries/nodes) make IP ~30% of the business and the company’s fastest‑growing segment in 2026.
• EDA revenue and bookings declined significantly in Q4 after Q3 records; management expects short‑term stability only and a later return to growth as it concentrates development and sales on a few core products (e.g., Jivaro).
• Restructuring delivered faster savings than expected — now targeting $20M annualized non‑GAAP spending reductions (vs. prior $15M), total non‑GAAP spending fell >9% quarter‑to‑quarter, and the company expects to approach operating cash flow breakeven in Q2 and positive cash flow in Q3 (year‑end unrestricted cash ~ $10M).
