Rick SchaferAnalyst

Hi. Thanks to everybody for joining us. Our next speaker is Sanjeev Aggarwal. He is the President and CEO of Everspin. Sanjeev has been with Everspin, I think nearly 20 years, in a number of leadership roles, but the last five as CEO. He is joined by William Cooper, Everspin's CFO. He joined Everspin, I think, a couple of years ago. He has a pretty long tech resume, most recently at AMD, before he joined Everspin. Welcome, gentlemen. It is great to have you. Sanjeev, I will turn the floor over to you, and maybe we can save Q&A for after the presentation. Thanks, and I will turn it to you.

Sanjeev AggarwalPresident and CEO

Thank you, Rick, for the introduction, and thanks to Oppenheimer for this opportunity. I have a few prepared slides that we can go through and then open it up for Q&A. To begin with, I have just mentioned that any forward-looking statements that I make in this presentation, we are not held liable for that. Anyway, after that, what is Everspin? Everspin is actually a semiconductor manufacturing company that makes memories using magnetic materials. Because of that, it is actually radiation-hardened. It is actually very fast access, and it is actually very reliable in extreme environments, whether it is radiation or extreme temperatures. We have been in business since 2008. We actually spun out of Freescale in 2008, and we have been building these memories for mission-critical applications in data center, in industrial automation applications, in IoT, in automotive, and like I mentioned, in radiation-hardened application as well.

Sanjeev AggarwalPresident and CEO

We have a fab over here, an 8-inch factory that is housed in NXP. We recently made an announcement to increase our capacity. We actually signed a foundry services agreement with Microchip to duplicate our NXP fab that we have over here in Microchip, which is in Gresham, Oregon. We also have a joint development agreement with GlobalFoundries that was signed in 2014 timeframe. We use them as a foundry for our spin torque for our second-generation MRAM technology. At the end of this year, we are actually going to bring on TSMC as a foundry as well for STT MRAM. We will have a resiliency in our supply chain, both for Toggle MRAM and 8-inch STT MRAM as well as 12-inch STT MRAM with these two foundries across the world. Like Rick mentioned, we are about 20-plus years in production.

Sanjeev AggarwalPresident and CEO

I have been with the company that long. We have shipped about 200 million-plus units since our inception. The good news over there is that we are very quality conscious, so we can actually count any returns, a handful of returns. It has been a very high quality technology and product that we have been shipping since 2008 timeframe. We have a diverse base of customers, 2,000-plus, and we are also very focused on our IP. We have about 700-plus patents and applications worldwide that we have licensed to various customers, including GlobalFoundries, to allow them to ship embedded MRAM while they build a standalone MRAM for us. On this chart over here, it basically shows you the various locations that Everspin has satellite offices. Our headquarters are actually over here in Chandler, Arizona.

Sanjeev AggarwalPresident and CEO

We do have a design center in Austin, Texas, and then we have worldwide sales and marketing people. We have some people here in Singapore, which is where we manufacture our STT MRAM with GlobalFoundries. Very top-level highlights. One thing I would like to highlight is we are the singular domestic provider of MRAM for mission-critical applications. There is no company in the U.S. other than us that can actually build Toggle MRAM or spin-transfer torque MRAM for the U.S. government for mission-critical applications. Like I mentioned in the previous slide, we have a diversified customer base. It goes all the way from IBM, Siemens, Schneider Electric, to mention a few, Mitsubishi Electric. Pretty diversified blue-chip customers across markets and applications. We have a large market opportunity, about $4.3 billion by 2029.
