Customers have begun to sample AGMDC’s new MMIC chip products which have received very positive praise and feedback. Forward-Looking Update MMIC chips, or ICs, have been released to customers for testing and are expected to begin generating revenue in Q2 2023. Management expects sustained profitability going into 2023. Team is increasing sales exposure through enhanced strategic partnerships with sales representatives and distributors globally. Management Commentary Fawad Maqbool, Founder and CEO of AmpliTech, commented, “We are pleased to announce AmpliTech's annual results, with a remarkable 267% year-over-year increase in revenue. Our seamless integration of Spectrum Semiconductor and the successful launch of new initiatives, such as AGMDC’s industry leading LNAs in MMIC form and TGSS’s managed 5G system integration consulting service, demonstrate our unwavering commitment to innovation and growth. This is a continuation of our strategy to focus on increasing top-line revenue with high-margin products, which we are projecting will lead to increased bottom-line income later this year. Additionally, our industry-leading low noise amplifiers, now available in MMIC form, boast unparalleled signal-to-noise ratios, the central metric that defines the quality of an amplifier as well as the entire receiver. Our team’s relentless drive to solve engineering challenges underscores our dedication to providing cutting-edge technology to our clients. While we closely monitor the current economic situation, we are pleased to report that, at this time, we continue to have strong demand for our industry leading products. The gross profit margin’s impressive increase from 24.5% to 46.0% reflects our team’s efficiency and long-term planning strategy. As we celebrate these financial and operational milestones, we remain cognizant of the challenges posed by the lack of performant communication infrastructures. At AmpliTech, our mission is to empower companies to build the communications infrastructure that will fuel the future of technology – from AR/VR platforms and high-performance Quantum computing to 5G/6G networks providing satellite internet and beyond. Although there is still much work to be done across various industries - including satcom, telecom (5G), high-performance computing, defense, and aerospace - to achieve the connectivity speeds required by emerging technologies, we recognize the immense potential for innovation and are dedicated to developing solutions that address these challenges, enabling faster and more efficient communication systems. By continuously pushing the boundaries of communications technology, we aim to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of these industries and facilitating the realization of their full potential,” concluded Mr. Maqbool.
