WiSA Technologies Pre-Announces Q3 2024 Sequential Revenue Growth of Over 200% as WiSA E IP Licensee Begins Product Shipments

- Preliminary Q3 2024 revenue is estimated at $1.0 million to $1.2 million, up from $0.3 million in Q2 2024 -

WiSA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WISA) (the “Company” or “WiSA”), a leading provider of immersive, wireless sound technology for intelligent devices and next-generation home entertainment systems, today reported preliminary Q3 2024 revenue of $1.0 million to $1.2 million, driven by sales of its WiSA multichannel wireless audio technology.

“In Q3 2024, we expect WiSA to deliver over 200% sequential revenue growth, driven by both WiSA HT and our new WiSA E IP being in production with a multi-national licensee,” said Brett Moyer, CEO of WiSA Technologies. “This specific licensee, which is one of the five current WiSA E licensees signed to date, has integrated our WiSA E software into their source device and our WiSA E module in their speakers. Activation of the WiSA E transmit functionality triggers royalty payments back and generates additional revenue from the sale of WiSA E-enabled receiver modules using a Realtek Wi-Fi chip. We expect to build momentum with continued shipments to this customer with additional deployments anticipated in 2025.”

“To date, we’ve secured five WiSA E licensing agreements, with a goal of reaching eight by the end of 2024. WiSA has effectively licensed a significant portion of Android-based HDTVs and is actively building an ecosystem of WiSA E-enabled speaker systems. We’re well-positioned to penetrate multiple end markets through top-tier licensing partners, leading the industry by expanding premium audio experiences and fostering a connected ecosystem that enhances the way users enjoy sound across devices,” added Moyer.
