We have taken steps to protect against these issues in the future. Additionally, in July, we purchased two additional MOCVD reactors, and we anticipate bringing these reactors in production at some point in calendar year 2023, helping us to further meet demand and build upon our high-power GaN leadership position.”
Parikh continued, “With our wide range of product offerings and notably high power GaN, Transphorm is well-positioned to grow across multiple markets – including consumer, data centers, blockchain, industrial, two and three wheeler EVs and, in the longer term, the broader EV market. Revenue traction
exists today in several of these markets including consumer, data centers, blockchain and industrial applications, and we have now grown product revenue 10 quarters in succession.”
Cameron McAulay, CFO of Transphorm, added, “With the recent exercise of the greenshoe, our balance sheet was strengthened even further and we ended the quarter with $43 million in cash and cash equivalents. This will enable us to continue to invest in the growth engines across all aspects of the company – both from a staffing and a capacity perspective.”

NASDAQ: TGAN TGAN FET: Higher Range, Reliability & Performance Spanning Low to High Power 1. Based on our best knowledge of released products and in volume production with customers’ systems 2. Based on existing rectifiers with 92% efficiency | Source: EPA estimated one kWh produces 1.52 pounds of carbon dioxide (excl. line-losses). 8 Why Transphorm Wins: • Transphorm adopted in many more markets • “e-mode” input interface is weaker – hard to operate in widely used TO Packages for higher power • Superior Dynamic performance from TGAN FET – Higher performance, from smaller GaN die • Proven reliability & manufacturing for scaled device – 10 kW capable single GaN device in production • Higher power => higher energy and emissions impact, e.g. Blockchain consumes 120 TWH, TGAN’s 1% efficiency gain => 1TWH + (> 125 lbs of CO2 emissions / TGAN Device2), >50,000 metric tons in 2022 alone (single market application!)
