REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Navitas Semiconductor Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Inventory – Expected Demand and Net Realizable Value
As described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s inventory balance was $15.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company values inventory at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company periodically reviews inventory for potential obsolescence based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks, and assumptions about future demand and net realizable value that incorporate market conditions. Inventory items determined to be impaired are reduced to their net realizable values.
The potential obsolescence is subjective and primarily dependent on the estimates of future demand and net realizable value for a particular product. Changes in assumptions of product demand, the future salability of inventory, and the net realizable value of obsolete and unmarketable inventory could have a significant impact on the amount of the reserve recorded. These assumptions include the assessment of market conditions and trends, expected demand inclusive of sales forecasts, anticipated sales and market prices, and product obsolescence.
We identified the valuation of inventory, in particular the estimate for potential obsolescence to reduce inventory to net realizable value and the significant assumptions relating to future demand and net realizable value, as a critical audit matter, because of the subjective judgments used by management, which involved significant audit effort and the use of especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures related to the estimates for future demand and net realizable value included the following, among others:
• Evaluating the design and implementation of internal controls related to the Company’s estimated future demand and net realizable value including the Company’s review of future demand as reflected in the quarterly sales forecasts and application within the inventory reserve calculation.
• Evaluating management’s process used in developing the estimate by:
◦ Evaluating the reasonableness of the methodology used.
◦ Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used, including, among others:
▪ Examining purchase orders and/or other audit evidence of future demand.
▪ Performing inquiries with non-financial personnel regarding slow-moving or obsolete inventory items and future expectations for selling prices.
▪ Testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of the underlying data used.
▪ Assessing the reasonableness of management’s expected net realizable value as reflected in anticipated sales and market prices through agreement to third party vendor information and experienced history.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company was founded in 2014 and has since been developing next-generation power semiconductors including gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits (ICs), silicon carbide (SiC) and associated high-speed silicon system controllers and digital isolators used in power conversion and charging. The Company presently operates as a product design house that contracts the manufacturing of its chips and packaging to partner suppliers. Navitas maintains its operations around the world, including the United States, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Belgium, China, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea and the Philippines, with principal executive offices in Torrance, California.
The Company has two authorized classes of common stock: Class A and Class B. Both classes have identical voting, dividend, and liquidation rights. There were no outstanding Class B shares as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company also has 1.0 million of preferred stock authorized with no amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The preferred stock may be issued with terms, rights, and preferences determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance.
May 2023 Public Offering
On May 26, 2023, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “May 2023 Public Offering”) of 10,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a public offering price of $ 8.00 per share, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. In connection with the May 2023 Public Offering, the Company granted the underwriters of the offering a 30 -day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Option Shares”) from the Company at the same public offering price. On June 1, 2023, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase the Option Shares. The sale of the Option Shares closed on June 5, 2023. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and before deducting offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company received net proceeds of $ 75.6 million and $ 11.3 million from the May 2023 Public Offering and sale of the Option Shares, respectively. The total net proceeds received by the Company after deducting offering expenses was $ 86.5 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions or strategic manufacturing investments.
Acquisitions
In February 2023, the Company acquired the remaining minority interest in its silicon control IC joint venture from Halo Microelectronics for a purchase price of $ 22.4 million in Navitas stock. See Note 18 - “Noncontrolling Interest” for more information.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the assumptions used in making estimates, including those related to (i) the collectability of accounts receivable; (ii) write-down for excess and obsolete inventory; (iii) warranty obligations; (iv) the value assigned to and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; (v) the realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities and tax reserves; (vi) recoverability of intangible assets; (vii) the computation of stock-based compensation; (viii) accrued compensation and other expenses; and (ix) the recognition of revenue. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists to assist with estimates related to the valuation of intangible assets, stock options, restricted common stock awards, and, earnout shares. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and models, and significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Significant Accounting Policies
Segment Reporting
The Company is organized and operates as one reportable segment, the design, development, manufacture and marketing of integrated circuits and related components for use primarily in next-generation power semiconductors including gallium nitride (“GaN”) power integrated circuits (“ICs”), silicon carbide (“SiC”) devices and associated high-speed silicon system controllers, and digital isolators used in power conversion and charging. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. See Note 3 - “Segment Information” for more information.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle of depicting the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
Product revenues consist of sales to distributors, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and merchant power supply manufacturers. The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company has concluded that its contracts are with the distributor as the Company holds a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of its consideration of the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk). If the Company concludes that the customer has the ability to pay, a contract has been established. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component.
The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further, in determining whether control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer.
When the Company receives orders for products to be delivered over multiple dates that may extend across several reporting periods, the Company invoices for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenues for each distinct product delivered. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.
The majority of sales to international customers that are shipped from the Company’s or its vendor’s facility outside of the United States are pursuant to EX Works, or EXW, shipping terms, meaning that control of the product transfers to the customer upon shipment from the Company’s or its vendors’ foreign warehouse.
F-10
NAVITAS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical claims data and expected future claims. Provision for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided in the same period the related revenue is recognized, and are netted against revenue.
Sales to most distributors are made under terms allowing certain limited rights of return (known as “stock rotation”) of the Company’s products held in their inventory or upon sale to their end customers. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized upon the transfer of control to the distributor. Stock rotation rights grant the distributor the ability to return certain specified amounts of inventory. Stock rotation adjustments are a form of variable consideration and are estimated using the expected value method based on historical return rates. Historically, distributor stock rotation adjustments have been insignificant.
The Company generally provides an assurance warranty that its products will substantially conform to the published specifications for twelve months from the date of shipment. The Company’s liability is limited to either a credit equal to the purchase price or replacement of the defective part. Returns under warranty have historically not been material. As such, the Company does not record a specific warranty reserve.
Revenue received from customers in advance of the Company shipping the related product is considered a contract liability and is included in deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with ASC 805, “ Business Combinations” . The acquisition method requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized and measured at fair value on the acquisition date, which is the date that the acquirer obtains control of the acquired business. The amount by which the fair value of consideration transferred exceeds the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
The determination of estimated fair value requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. These fair value determinations require judgment and involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. As a result, the Company may record adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) with the corresponding offset to goodwill.
Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as they are incurred.
Inventories
Inventories (which consist of costs associated with the purchases of wafers from foundries and of packaged components from offshore assembly manufacturers, as well as internal labor and overhead, including depreciation and amortization, associated with the testing of both wafers and packaged components) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company periodically reviews inventory for potential obsolescence and declining values through periodic assessments, considering factors including estimates for future demand and net realizable value. Inventory deemed impaired is written down to its net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are established based on market conditions and trends, expected demand inclusive of sales forecasts, anticipated sales and market prices, and product obsolescence. The Company capitalizes inventory when it is intended for commercial sale or use in production, while costs associated with research and development activities are only capitalized as supplies inventory when an alternative future use has been established.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Stock-based compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period in the consolidated statements of operations for restricted stock awards or vesting terms .
RSUs - The fair value per unit of each RSU grant award is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
ESPP - We currently use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) awards and amortize the expense over the requisite service period in the consolidated statements of operations . The option pricing model requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment in determining fair value of the awards. The most significant assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate and expected term of the award.
The expected volatility of the awards is determined based on a combination of the Company's own historical volatility and the historical volatility of selected public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximately equal to the expected term of the awards. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company currently has no history or expectation of cash dividends on its common stock. The Company has adopted the practical expedient for determining the expected term of stock option awards, which is the midpoint between the end of the vesting term and the expiration of the award. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company elected to treat stock-based payment awards with graded vesting schedules and time-based service conditions as a single award and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
LTIPs - The fair value for each tranche of the Long-term Incentive Plan Stock Option (“LTIP”) awards was determined using Black-Scholes model and a Monte Carlo simulation estimated at the initial grant date. We utilized the services of a professional valuation firm to develop the grant date fair value.
The LTIP awards vest based on the achievement of certain market (stock price hurdles) and performance conditions (revenue and/or EBITDA targets). The most significant assumptions and judgments include management’s forecasts related to award performance conditions, including whether certain performance conditions are probable, which determine the timing and amount of the recognition of the awards. Awards are not recognized until they are deemed to be probable to vest, and awards may be unrecognized if they are determined to be no longer probable.
Income Taxes
Current income tax expense is an estimate of current income taxes payable or refundable in the current fiscal year based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences and carry-forwards that are recognized for financial reporting and income tax purposes.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, utilizing the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes valuation allowances to reduce any deferred tax assets to the amount that it estimates will more likely than not be realized based on available evidence and management’s judgment. In the event that the Company determines, based on available evidence and management judgment, that all or part of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, it would record a valuation allowance in the period the determination is made. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with the Company’s expectations could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns since inception are open and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. When necessary, the Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had no accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the amounts management expects to collect. To account for potential credit losses, the Company establishes an allowance for current estimated credit losses based on estimated losses from customers' inability to meet payment obligations. In evaluating collectability, management considers factors such as customer creditworthiness, past transaction history, current financial conditions, reasonable forecasts, industry trends, and changes in payment terms, reassessing as necessary. Past-due balances exceeding 90 days and other higher-risk amounts are individually assessed. If a customer’s financial condition deteriorates, impacting their ability to pay, additional allowances may be required. Management conducts a thorough analysis of each customer account to determine the appropriate allowance level. Estimated credit losses are recognized as a charge to earnings with a corresponding credit to the valuation allowance. At each reporting period, the Company reassesses the amount of probable credit losses based on the changes in risk characteristics of the underlying receivables as needed. Outstanding balances that remain uncollected after reasonable collection efforts are written off against the allowance for current estimated credit losses.
Accounts receivable also include unbilled receivables, which primarily represent revenue recognized for services performed but not yet invoiced to customers. All unbilled accounts receivables are expected to be billed and collected within twelve months.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” , defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a hierarchy that categorizes fair value measurements into the following three levels based on the types of inputs used in measuring their fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The 8,433,333 warrants issued in connection with Live Oak’s Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”), the 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants and the Earnout Shares associated with Vested Shares are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments and earnout shares as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value for the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants as of each relevant date. The Earnout shares were valued using a Monte Carlo analysis. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of significant current assets or require the creation of current liabilities. There were no outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Patent Costs
The Company expense external costs, such as filing fees and associated attorney fees, incurred to obtain patents, but capitalized patents obtained through acquisition as intangible assets. The Company also expense costs associated with maintaining and defending patents subsequent to their issuance.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed for possible impairment in accordance with the authoritative guidance on goodwill, intangibles and other. The Company assesses possible impairments to goodwill at least annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash invested in highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash consists of funds held in a SAFE account in China, which are legally restricted from withdrawal for general corporate purposes. These funds are designated exclusively for the settlement of employee obligations related to restricted stock unit (RSU) and stock option releases, as well as the remittance of applicable taxes.
Investments
The Company holds an investment in an affiliate over which it has significant influence but does not maintain a controlling interest, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. This investment is reported under "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s share of earnings and losses from this investment is recognized under “Equity method investment gain” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Navitas operates as a single operating segment under ASC 280 - Segment Reporting, which establishes requirements for public entities to disclose financial information about operating segments. Under ASC 280, an operating segment is defined as a component of a company that generates revenue and expenses, has discrete financial data available, and is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company's CEO, Gene Sheridan, serves as the CODM, overseeing financial performance and making resource allocation decisions at a consolidated level. The CODM primarily evaluates consolidated net income (loss) as the measure of segment profit or loss. While product-level data is available internally, it is not used for performance evaluation or resource allocation. Additionally, the CODM reviews detailed breakdowns of significant expenses, such as selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses and research and development (R&D) costs, which are already disclosed in the income statement. Below is an overview of the specific items reviewed by the CODM.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The accounting guidance on fair value measurements clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
The short-term nature of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, debt and current liabilities causes each of their carrying values to approximate fair value for all periods presented. Cash equivalents classified as Level 1 instruments was $ 66.5 million for December 31, 2024 and $ 139.0 million for 2023.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for financial liabilities as of December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Liabilities:
Earnout liability $ — $ — $ 10,208 $ 10,208

The Company did not transfer any investments between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The following table provides a reconciliation between the beginning and ending balances of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 11 - “Earnout Liability” for more details. (In thousands):

acquisition date and may be subject to adjustment within the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the assets are impaired. As of the annual measurement date on September 30, 2024, the fair market value of the Company's stock continues to exceed its carrying value, with no indicators of impairment as of December 31, 2024.
There were no changes to goodwill during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The following table presents the changes in the Company’s goodwill balance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

GeneSiC had the option, but not the obligation, to accept returns sold to the distributor. The Company determined that a $ 1.7 million return liability should have been recorded as of the close of the acquisition on August 15, 2022. The Company recorded the return liability as a purchase price adjustment in 2023, resulting in an increase to goodwill and accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $ 1.7 million.

9. LEASES
The Compa ny has entered into operating leases primarily for commercial buildings. A s of December 31, 2024 no operating lease agreements contain economic penalties for the Company to extend the lease, and it is not reasonably certain the Company will exercise these extension options. Additionally, these operating lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As of December 31, 2024 , all leases recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were operating leases.
The Company has made the accounting policy election to use certain ongoing practical expedients made available by ASC 842 to: (i) not separate lease components from nonlea se components for real estate; and (ii) exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term” leases) from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will recognize related lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.
Rent expense, including short-term lease cost, was $ 2.6 million and $ 2.7 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition to rent payments, the Company’s leases include real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities, and management fees, which are not fixed. The Company accounts for these costs as variable payments and does not include such costs as a lease component. Total variable expense was $ 0.3 million and $ 0.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Equity Incentive Plans
The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit (RSU) awards, stock appreciation rights, and other stock awards to employees, directors and consultants. Pursuant to the 2020 Plan, the exercise price for incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options is generally at least 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Options generally vest over 48 months measured from the date of grant. Options generally expire no later than ten years after the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon an optionee’s cessation of employment or service.
Under the terms of the 2020 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue 18,899,285 shares of common stock pursuant to awards under the 2020 Plan. As of October 19, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 11,276,706 stock options and non-statutory options to its employees and consultants and 4,525,344 shares of restricted stock to employees, directors and consultants under the 2020 Plan. No awards have or will be issued under the 2020 Plan after October 19, 2021. Shares of common stock subject to awards under the 2020 Plan that are forfeited, expire or lapse after October 19, 2021 will become authorized for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan (as defined below).
The Navitas Semiconductor Corporation 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s board of directors on August 17, 2021 and adopted and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting on October 12, 2021. Under the terms of the 2021 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue, pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Plan, (a) up to 16,334,527 shares of common stock; plus (b) up to 15,802,050 shares of common stock subject to awards under the 2020 Plan that are forfeited, expire or lapse after October 19, 2021; plus (c) an annual increase, effective as of the first day of each fiscal year up to and including January 1, 2031, equal to the lesser of (i) 4 % of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the conclusion of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such amount, if any, as the board of directors may determine. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company has issued 6,500,000 n on-statutory stock options under the 2021 Plan.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation in its financial statements over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals a four-year vesting period, except for Long-Term Incentive Plan Stock Options discussed below. The Company uses estimates of volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield in determining the fair value of these awards and the amount of compensation expense to recognize. The Company uses the straight-line method to amortize stock awards granted over the requisite service period of the award, which may be explicit or derived, unless market or performance conditions result in a graded attribution.
The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Stock Options
Generally, stock options granted under the Plans have ten year terms and vest 1/4th on the anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 1/48th monthly thereafter. Stock options with performance vesting conditions begin to vest upon achievement of the performance condition. Expense is recognized beginning in the period in which performance is considered probable. The fair value of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options issued was estimated using the Black-Scholes model.
A summary of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2024, and activity during the two years then ended, is presented below:

The weighted-average period over which this remaining compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 2.1 years.
The Company implemented a yearly stock-based bonus plan in 2021 and plans to settle accrued bonus liabilities of $ 3.7 million related to fiscal year 2024 (included in “Accrued compensation expenses” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets), by issuing a variable number of fully-vested restricted stock units to its employees in 2024. Based on the closing share price of the Company’s Class A common stock of $ 3.57 on December 31, 2024, approximately 1.0 million shares would be issued, however the actual number of shares will be based on the share price at the date of settlement.
2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In August 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Company’s 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”), subject to stockholder approval. The 2022 ESPP was approved by stockholders at the Company’s annual stockholders meeting held November 10, 2022. The Company authorized the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2022 ESPP.
Under the 2022 ESPP, eligible employees are granted the right to purchase shares of common stock at the lower of 85 % of the fair value at the time of offering or 85 % of the fair value at the time of purchase, generally over a six-month period. The first offering period under the 2022 ESPP commenced in February 2023 and the second offering in September 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , employees who elected to participate in the ESPP purchased 801,465 and 257,963 shares of common stock under the 2022 ESPP, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $ 2.7 million and $ 1.3 million , respectively. The purchase price was $ 4.55 and $ 2.19 , which was 15 % of the fair market value in March and September 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 the Company had 1,940,572 remaining authorized shares available for purchase. During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company recognized $ 1.8 million and $ 1.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for the ESPP, respectively.
Other Share Awards
In connection with the acquisition of the remaining minority interest of a silicon control IC joint venture, as described in Note 18 - “Noncontrolling Interest”, the Company issued 841,729 fully vested shares to certain former employees of the joint venture with a grant date fair value totaling $ 4.5 million. Such amount has been recognized as stock-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2023.

December 31, 2024 and 2023
On June 10, 2022, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Navitas Semiconductor Limited, acquired all of the stock of VDDTECH srl, a private Belgian company (“VDDTech”) for approximately $ 1.9 million in cash and stock. Among shares issued in the transaction, the Company issued approximately 113,000 restricted shares that are subject to time based vesting and issued approximately 151,000 restricted shares that are subject to time and performance based vesting over the next four and three years , respectively. These restricted shares are subject to certain individuals maintaining employment with the Company and, therefore, are accounted for under ASC 718. The Company recognized $ 0.6 million and $ 0.9 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the vesting of these shares during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.
Unvested Earnout Shares
A portion of the earnout shares may be issued to individuals with unvested equity awards. While the release of these shares require achievement of the Earn-out Milestones, the individuals are required to complete the remaining service period associated with these unvested equity awards to be eligible to receive the earnout shares. As a result, these unvested earn-out shares are equity-classified awards and have an aggregated grant date fair value of $ 19.1 million (or $ 11.52 per share). During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company recognized $ 0.2 million and $ 0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for the vesting of earnout shares. As of the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, these earnout shares had fully vested. At December 31, 2024 and 2023 , there was no remaining compensation cost related to unvested earnout shares, except for forfeitures. Refer to Note 11 - “Earnout Liability”.
11. EARNOUT LIABILITY
Certain of the Company’s stockholders are entitled to receive an aggregate of up to 10,000,000 Earnout Shares of the Company’s Class A common stock if the Earnout Milestones are met. The Earnout Milestones represent three independent criteria, each of which entitles the eligible stockholders to an aggregate of up to 3,333,333 Earnout Shares per milestone met. Each Earnout Milestone is considered met if at any time between March 18, 2022 (150 days following the Business Combination) and October 19, 2026, the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $ 12.50 , $ 17.00 or $ 20.00 for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period, respectively. Further, the Earnout Milestones are also considered to be met if the Company undergoes a Sale. A Sale is defined as the occurrence of any of the following: (i) engage in a “going private” transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act or otherwise cease to be subject to reporting obligations under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) Class A common stock cease to be listed on a national security exchange, other than for the failure to satisfy minimum listing requirements under applicable stock exchange rules; or (iii) change of ownership (including a merger or consolidation) or approval of a plan for complete liquidation or dissolution.
These Earnout Shares have been categorized into two components: (i) the “Vested Shares” - those associated with stockholders with vested equity at the closing of the Business Combination that will be earned upon achievement of the Earnout Milestones. Any forfeited shares from unvested holders will be reallocated among the remaining earnout holders and (ii) the “Unvested Shares” - those associated with employee stockholders with unvested equity at the closing of the Business Combination which are subject to forfeiture if the employee left prior to the achievement of the Earnout Milestones. As the implicit service period has passed, these shares now remain contingent solely on meeting the earnout performance condition. The Vested Shares are classified as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Unvested Shares are equity-classified stock-based compensation to be recognized over time (see Note 10 - “Stock-based Compensation”). The earnout liability was initially measured at fair value at the closing of the Business Combination and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the earn-out liability is recorded as part of “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 and 2023
The estimated fair value of the earnout liability was determined using a Monte Carlo analysis of 20,000 simulations of the future path of the Company’s stock price over the earnout period. The forecasted stock price is a significant input in this analysis. The assumptions utilized in the calculation are based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones including projected stock price, volatility, and risk-free rate. The valuation model utilized the following assumptions:
December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Risk-free interest rate 4.23 % 4.05 %
Equity volatility rate 90 % 70 %
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the earnout liability had a fair value of $ 10.2 million and $ 46.9 million, respectively which resulted in a gain in the fair value of the earnout liability of $ 36.7 million and a loss in the fair value of the earnout liability of $ 33.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively, due to the fluctuations in the fair value of the earnout liability.
12. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
Customer Concentration
A majority of the Company’s revenues are attributable to sales of the Company’s products to distributors of electronic components. These distributors sell the Company’s products to a range of end users, including OEMs and merchant power supply manufacturers.
The following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
Customer 2024 2023
Distributor A 56 % 45 %
At the end of 2024, the Company terminated its distribution agreement with Distributor A. As a result of this termination, the Company incurred a bad debt expense of $ 7.5 million included in Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company had acquired inventory, which was intended to be primarily sold through this distributor. Given the termination, the Company re-evaluated the recoverability of its inventory and recorded a write-down of $ 5.0 million to Cost of Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, the Company also had a research and development project related to creating future products for distribution to this customer, which was abandoned resulting in a $ 1.7 million charged to Research and development for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Revenues by Geographic Area
Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were attributable to the following regions:

Total 100 % 100 %
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consisted principally of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash or cash equivalents held at financial institutions. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
The following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable:
As of December 31,
Customer 2024 2023
Distributor A 44 % 77 %
Concentration of Supplier Risk
The Company currently relies on a single foundry to produce wafers for GaN ICs and a separate single foundry to produce SiC MOSFETs. Loss of the relationship with either of these suppliers could have a substantial negative effect on the Company. Additionally, the Company relies on a limited number of third-party subcontractors and suppliers for testing, packaging and certain other tasks. Disruption or termination of supply sources or subcontractors, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic or natural disasters such as an earthquake or other causes, could delay shipments and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although there are generally alternate sources for these materials and services, qualification of the alternate sources could cause delays sufficient to have a material adverse effect on the Company. A significant amount of the Company’s third-party subcontractors and suppliers, including the third-party foundry that supplies wafers for GaN ICs, are located in Taiwan. A significant amount of the Company’s assembly and test operations are conducted by third-party contractors in Taiwan and the Philippines.
The Company entered into an agreement to purchase raw materials from a supplier from September 29, 2022 through December 31, 2025, and accordingly made a $ 2.0 million deposit to be received as invoice credits toward future purchases. The Company is not obligated to purchase from this supplier, however, if the Company does not meet the minimum purchase requirements during the term, the Company may forfeit all or a portion of its $ 2.0 million deposit. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company has determined it will not meet the minimum purchase requirements, therefore, the Company wrote-off this $ 2.0 million deposit, and is included in the Company’s research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 .

13. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the two-class method because the Company’s sponsor earnout shares are a participating security since these shares contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends. Under the two-class method, earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. As the Company incurred net losses during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and these securities are not contractually required to fund the Company’s losses, there is no allocation to the participating securities in the years presented. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares included in this calculation consist of dilutive shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, the assumed issuance of awards for contingently issuable performance-based awards, as computed using the treasury stock method. Performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock awards are included in the number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share after evaluating the applicable performance criteria as of period end and under the assumption the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, and the effect is dilutive. The Company has no plans to declare dividends.
A summary of the net loss per share calculation is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023
Weighted-average common shares - basic common stock 182,460 168,927
Stock options and other dilutive awards — —
Weighted-average common shares - diluted common stock 182,460 168,927
Shares excluded from diluted weighted-average shares:
Dilutive shares excluded ¹ 3,174 9,809
Shares excluded from diluted weighted average shares 3,174 9,809
¹ The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock units, ESPP shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company excluded 0.0 million and 0.3 million restricted stock awards from the diluted weighted average share count as their performance conditions have not been achieved. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company excluded 10.0 million Earnout shares from the diluted weighted average share count as their performance and/or market conditions have not been achieved. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 6.5 million and 9.8 million LTIP options have been excluded from the diluted weighted average share count, respectively, as their performance and/or market conditions have not been achieved.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company excluded 1.3 million of outstanding Class A common stock from basic and diluted weighted average share count as shares are subject to forfeiture based on market conditions that have not been achieved. These shares relate to certain shares of Class A common stock held by the Company’s SPAC sponsor that as part of the business combination were placed under market conditions requirements that if not met, would result in forfeiture. These requirements are consistent with the Earnout Milestones noted in Note 11 - “Earnout Liability” with each milestone tied to 421,000 shares. Each Earnout Milestone is considered met if at any time between March 18, 2022 (150 days following the Business Combination) and October 19, 2026, the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $12.50, $17.00 or $20.00 for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

$ ( 17,064 ) $ ( 20,350 )
Net deferred tax balance $ ( 441 ) $ ( 1,040 )
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the valuation allowance increased b y $ 34.0 million and $ 26.5 million, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income. In the event that the Company determines, based on available evidence and management judgment, that all or part of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, the Company would record a valuation allowance in the period the determination is made. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with the Company’s expectations could have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
The Company has approximately $ 220.9 million and $ 165.0 million of federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and approximately $ 0.3 million an d $ 0.2 million of tax-effected state NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. The federal NOLs expire in varying amounts through 2037, while the state NOLs expire in varying amounts through 2044. Federal NOLs arising from the years ended after December 31, 2017, may be carried forward indefinitely. Realiz ation of the NOL carryforwards is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the NOL carryforwards and these NOLs could also potentially be subject to usage limitations to the extent there are future changes in the Company’s ownership. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets as the Company believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be fully realized. The Company also has foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $ 320.3 million and $ 199.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of the foreign NOLs, $ 319.5 million are in Ireland and the deferred tax asset has a full valuation allowance as a result of the historical losses in the country.

Each DSA contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the distributor, and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the distributor against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the distributor in the event the Company’s products are found to infringe upon a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of a third party (Customer Indemnification). The DSA generally limits the scope of and remedies for the Customer Indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects, including, but not limited to, limitations based on time and geography, and a right to replace an infringing product. The Company also, from time to time, has granted a specific indemnification right to individual customers.
The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to such indemnifications. In addition, the Company requires its employees to sign a proprietary information and inventions agreement, which assigns the rights to its employees’ development work to the Company. To date, the Company has not had to reimburse any of its distributors or end customers for any losses related to these indemnifications and no material claims were outstanding as of December 31, 2024 . For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnifications.
Release and license agreement
In March 2023, the Company entered into a Release and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a university. The Agreement stipulates the Company pay the university a total of $ 1.0 million over a period of three years , with the final payment by March 1, 2026. The agreement licenses the Company to sell certain products covered by a patent owned by the university, subject to the Company paying a royalty fee on revenues for covered products sold during the term. Based on an indemnity agreement entered into in connection with the Company’s acquisition of GeneSiC Semiconductor Inc. in August 2022, the Company expects to be indemnified by the sellers in that transaction for the royalty amounts up to approximately $ 1.0 million. The total amount of current and non-current accrued royalty was $ 1.8 million and $ 1.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
