SEALSQ Reports H1 2023 Unaudited Revenue of $14.8 Million, a 38% Year-Over-Year Increase

Published

on

Tortola, British Virgin Islands, July 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During 2023, SEALSQ Launched its First Demonstrator of Quantum Resistant Technology, a New Generation of Quantum Resistant Algorithms Running on One of its Common Criteria EAL5+ Tamper Resistant Secure Arm Platforms

Tortola, British Virgin Islands – July 6, 2023: SEALSQ Corp (Nasdaq: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or “Company”), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced its unaudited revenue for the first half (H1) 2023 period ending June 30, 2023.

H1 2023 Operational Highlights:

For H1 2023 SEALSQ reported unaudited revenue of $14.8 million, an increase of 38% as compared to the same period of last year. The year-over-year increase was driven by several factors, including:

  • Efforts to increase production capacity and improve the efficiency of the supply chain to benefit from higher demand on existing lines with historical customers, mainly in the IT network infrastructure segment.
  • Capture of several new significant business opportunities due to the success of its advanced MS600X secure platform, with applications in remote logical access control.
  • The growing Trust Services business pipeline around Semiconductor provisioning and managed PKI, which is now starting to materialize into recurring revenues.
  • Larger and stronger footprint in the United States following the expansion of sales team and the signing of four sales distribution agreements aiming to gain market share.
  • Investments in a new generation of Post-Quantum semiconductors (Quasar) to provide Provisioning and Managed-PKI services within a unique vertically integrated value proposition including the Matter PAA. Of note, SEALSQ was recently approved by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) for Matter device attestation and became part of the very few providers of Matter PAA.

Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ noted, “The impressive year-over-year revenue growth is a continuation of the trend SEALSQ exhibited in 2022 financial year, during which we reported solid revenue of $23.2 million with a growth rate of more than 36% compared to FY 2021, and EBITDA of $3.0 million. We believe that SEALSQ’s revenue growth has reached a tipping point where previous year investments are starting to pay off. One of the key external drivers of this success story has been the strong global momentum we have seen in almost all IoT segments, now massively demanding the type of secure semiconductors SEALSQ is specialized in providing. SEALSQ continues to take advantage of its solid supply chain and vertical value proposition to gain market share in this context. We have a strong business pipeline in new segments and are well positioned to deliver growth and profitability this year and beyond.”

Moving forward, SEALSQ is well positioned to capture additional opportunities arising from higher demand for semiconductors due to significant investments the Company made in developing state-of-the-art technologies. Specifically….

  • Recently, SEALSQ’s engineering team produced a demonstrator able to run both Kyber and Dilithium CRYSTAL quantum-resistant NIST selected algorithms and the appropriate APIs on the MS6003, a Common Criteria EAL5+ Certified secure hardware platform, and created the first Quantum-Resistant USB Token demonstrator. This demonstrator marks a significant milestone for the QUASARS (QUAtum resistant Secure ARchitectureS) project and takes the Company one step closer to achieving its goal of being among the first players to build a Post-Quantum Hardware Security Module and Root-of-Trust.
  • SEALSQ offers a unique combination of provisioning services with the GSMA Root-of-Trust CI, by issuing GSMA PKI Certificates to GSMA eSIM compliant version 3 Consumer products. The growing adoption of eSIM standards and the remote SIM provisioning will greatly improve interoperability between devices and security-by-design in the cellular industry, creating a more efficient and safer experience for consumers. This is in full alignment with SEALSQ’s mission to contribute into building a safer connected world.

As is the case with SEALSQ, semiconductors are at the heart of technological advancements such as artificial intelligence (AI), Post-Quantum, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and 5G. These emerging technologies require advanced semiconductor chips to power their functionality. As the adoption of these technologies accelerates, the demand for semiconductors and the companies that produce them naturally increases. With the proliferation of data-intensive applications and the expansion of cloud computing services, there is a growing need for data centers to process and store large volumes of data. Data centers rely heavily on semiconductors for servers, storage systems, and networking equipment. The rising demand for data centers has consequently fueled the demand for semiconductors.

Many governments worldwide, including the EU and US with their e-Chip Act, recognize the strategic importance of the semiconductor industry and are actively supporting its growth. Governments are investing in research and development, providing incentives to semiconductor companies, and promoting domestic semiconductor manufacturing. These initiatives have created a favorable environment for semiconductor companies, attracting investors’ interest.

About SEALSQ:
SEALSQ focuses on selling integrated solutions based on Semiconductors, PKI and Provisioning services, while developing Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in a variety of applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Smart Home Appliances, and IT Network Infrastructure, to Automotive, Industrial Automation and Control Systems.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks.
