We expect gross margin for Q4 2025 to be in the range of 58% and 60% and we expect adjusted EBITDA loss in Q4 2025 to be in the range of four six to $4 $2 million loss for.

our working capital, at the end of Q3, 2025 was 98.9 million compared to 106 million at the end of Q2, 2025, and 10033.6 million, at the end of 2024,

For the full year 2025, we expect revenue to be in the range of 69 $4 million to $71 million. The midpoint reflects growth of approximately 20% compared to the annual revenue of 2024.

Our inventory as of September 30, 2025, was $11 million, a slight decrease from $11.5 million on June 30, 2025, and down from $11.2 million on December 31, 2024.

Now, I would like to provide our guidance for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025.

I'll now turn the call back forgive him for his closing remarks before opening the call for Q&A.

We expect Q4 2025 Revenue to be in the range of 18.2 to 18.9 million. Meaning 7th consecutive quarters of growth in Revenue.

Thank you Guy.

Across each of our target markets for land semiconductors is well positioned for growth supported by our cutting edge technology and robust balance sheet.

We remain focused on executing our long term strategy and advancing on our path towards profitability.

The expected gross margins for Q4 2025 to be in the range of 58% and 60%. And we expect just in Q4 2025 to be in the range of 4.6 to 4.2 million dollars lost

On a personal note I would like to say it has been a privilege to lead the Valencia team over the last five and a half years.

Im confident that it is positioned as the next CEO villains.

Ron will accelerate <unk> growth and strengthened its position as the leader in high performance connectivity across industries.

We expect revenue to be in the range of $69.4 million to $70.1 million. The midpoint reflects growth of approximately 20% compared to the annual revenue of 2024. I'll now turn the call back to Gilon for his closing remarks before opening the call for Q&A.

With that I will now open the call to answer your questions operator.

Thank you, guy.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen at this time, we will begin the question and answer session.

A cross-section for a Target Market. Valencia is well, positioned for growth supported by our Cutting Edge technology and robust balance sheet.

He has a question please press star one.

If you wish to cancel here with Craig.

Please go ahead.

We remain focused on executing our long-term strategy and advancing on our path towards profitability.

Please go ahead.

With that, I'll now open the call to answer to your questions. Operator, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. At this time, we will begin the question and answer session.

Hey, Neil.

If you have a question, please press *1.

Quinn Bolton Thanks for letting me ask a question.

So I wanted to ask about the gross margin across the two businesses.

If you wish to cancel your request, please press star 2.

Included within automotive, which trapped sequentially. So last quarter, you talked about the optimization of product cost within automotive this quarter. It looks like the sequential drop was due to product versions mix and certain operational expenses related to manufacturing transition.

If you're using speaker equipment, kindly, leave the handset before pressing the number.

Please ask your question in a loud and clear voice.

Your questions will be pulled in the order. They are received.

Please stand by while we call for your questions.

I'm wondering if you could give a little more detail on what that is.

It's a one time event or do you expect us to carryover in the future quarters, and then maybe for <unk>, just kind of walk us through the puts and takes in gross margin for the guide it.

Let's go ahead.

It seems like it came in a little bit softer than I would've thought thanks sure.

So we truly believe that this was like a kind of a.

A one time event.

Related to the mix of different versions of the product during the quarter and related to one time expenses related to a transition of certain manufacturing line and we believe that in the next quarter that should be improved it again.

Okay. So it should maybe return to what it was in <unk> with an auto or.

Smaller step up.

We still will be a little.

With cautious here and.

Hey it's uh Neil Young on for Quinn, Bolton. Thanks for letting me ask a question. Um so I wanted to ask about the gross margin across the 2 businesses uh specifically within Automotive which trapped sequentially. So last quarter, you talked about the optimization of product costs within Automotive. This quarter looks like the sequential drop was due to product versions mix and certain operational expenses related to manufacturing line transitions. Um, I was wondering if you could give a little more detail on what that is, you know, it's just a 1 time event. Should we expect this to carry over into the future quarters and then, you know, maybe for 4 q, just kind of walk us through the puts and takes and gross margin for the guide. Uh, you know, it seems like it came in a little bit softer than than I would have thought. Thanks.

I will try to avoid from providing exactly answer but it should be again to be improved its still early to say.

What would be the pace of improvement.

Okay. Thanks, that's very helpful.

And then the.

<unk> brought the industry business revenue came in definitely above what I really unexpected so I know earlier in the year or last quarter. When you guys were talking about your guide or some concerns around the impact of tariffs was that not as bad as previously feared sort of what's driving the strength in CIB or more specifically and maybe.

Sure. Hi Quinn. So uh, we truly believe that this was like a kind of a, a 1 time event related to the mix of a different versions of the product during the quarter and related to a 1-time expenses related to a transition of certain manufacturing line. And we believe that in the next quarter, that should be improved again.

Okay, so it should maybe return to what it was in Q2 with an auto or.

And should we expect it to grow at a higher rate sequentially than auto and <unk>. Thanks.

Hi, Thank you Quintin.

Thank you for the question, we see that the tariff influences becomes a milder and this is the reason that our companies are less reluctance from making older and they know that they can ship what they buy.

A smaller step up. We will still be a little bit cautious here, and I will try to avoid providing an exact answer, but it should be, again, it should be improved. It's still early to say what the pace of the improvement will be.

It's Nokia situation that the market is clear in Doncaster is clear it is improving.

We all read the same breadth, it's changing daily, but the whole atmosphere around it starts with far more relaxed not to the level before it all started.

Great. Thank you.

Okay, thanks, that's really helpful. Um and then the cross industry business Revenue came in uh, definitely above what I would have expected. So I know earlier in the year or last quarter when you guys were talking about your guide or some concerns around the impact of tariffs, you know, was that not as bad as previously feared sort of what's driving the strength and CIB or more specifically in proav. And, you know, should we expected to grow at a higher rate sequentially than Auto in the port Cube? Thanks.

The next question is from <unk>.

Yes.

From Roth capital.

Hi, Gideon Guy getting your best of luck on the transition in Europe.

Best of luck in the new role so.

It's in the the pro Avi upside in the quarter can you give some color on where that was coming from and how sustainable that is sure.

Sure Brosious.

Bromine is a very big part of the CIB and proteins, mainly in mattresses and conference rooms.

Hi, thank you Quentin. Uh, thank you for the question. We see that the Taurus influences becomes milder and this is the reason that, uh, companies are less reluctant from making new orders, and they know that they can ship what they buy. Uh, it's it's not yet. The situation that the the market is clearing. The atmosphere is clear. It's improving and as we all read the same press, it's changing daily. But the whole atmosphere around a Target is far more relaxed. Not relaxed to the level before it all started.

Projectiles, it's all one mix and it comes from all of them it doesn't come particularly from one.

Great. Thank you.

Say that one niche, which is starting to become bigger.

From suji.

Conference from camera. This is a if there is a sub segment that Mike.

Roth capital.

And entry this one but other than that it's the.

Stuff, we know for years and the market is getting back to what it used to and this is the probably the recovery.

I don't think I have a lot more color to put other than that but I believe that this covers.

<unk> is back to.

Okay, Alright, Thanksgiving and then my other question is maybe a bigger picture question can you talk about the factors that are pacing or gating.

Maybe a phy adopt broader MIT BHI adoption maybe.

Maybe across non auto and auto just to understand what you think is kind of left in 'twenty five 'twenty six to to help kind of accelerate that adoption.

You know, maybe a fine as I Repetitively say company like Vlans cannot daily.

When in <unk>. So we can really knock out maybe a fleet where it gives us the advantage of the bundles are very blunt. This is correct for automotive and for E Mail.

Hi Gideon guy, um, Gideon. Best of luck in the transition and you're in the best of luck in the new role. So, um, Team the, um, the proav upside in the quarter, can you give some color on where that was coming from and how sustainable that is? Thanks sure. Uh, probably has, uh, probably is a very big part of the CIB and probe is mainly, you know, the matrixes and the conference rooms and projectors. It's all 1 mix and it comes from all of them. It doesn't come particularly from 1. I might say that 1 Niche, which is starting and become higher. A bigger is the conference from camera. This is a, if there is a sub segments, that might has a, an entry is this 1. But other than that, it's the, uh, stuff we know for years and the market is, is getting back to what it used to, and this is the probe recovery. I, I don't think I have a lot more uh, color to put other than that.

Medical and for industrial and where people have.

but I believe that this covers whether the probe is is back to

Sirius influence of electromagnetic and when electromagnetic is strong and it changes the whole <unk>.

Okay, all right, thanks again and my other question is maybe a bigger picture question. Can you talk about the factors that are pacing or getting

System. This is where we are and this is.

We've part of what the new World and you would have more cameras.

More resolution.

More bits per pixel.

Maybe a fee, a broader, maybe a fee adoption, you know, maybe across non-auto and auto just understand. You know what you think is kind of left in 25 and 26 to, to help kind of accelerate that adoption.

More and they require.

Bandwidth and this bandwidth makes it makes the whole system to be more fragile and when it's more fragile meet basically the solution and that's exactly where we are and this is the reason for those with I am not sure I didn't answer exactly your question. So if it's not please don't hesitate to elaborate.

Is a um repetitively say company like Valencia win in points, we can win in knockout. Maybe if I where it gives the advantages, the advantages are very blunt. This is the correct for automotive and for a

Medical, and for industrial. And where people have?

Now getting that was the color I was looking for I mean, there is sort of opt in and it sounds like bandwidth and higher resolution video is one of the catalysts that's happening and then secondly in the market.

Serious influence of electromagnetic. And when electromagnetic is strong in changes, the whole ecosystem, this is where we are. And this is

Great Alright, thanks, guys.

Thank you.

The next question.

it's part of what the new world, the new world has more cameras, it has more resolution, more bits per pixel,

Hum.

More and and and they require.

Please go ahead.

Good morning, and thank you for taking my questions.

Just wanted to start with gross profit margin guide in Q4 year to date gross profit margin is tracking around 63% and you're obviously guiding between 50 to 60 is this an expectation that the mix is going to change as this typical seasonality as it is.

More bandwidth. And this bandwidth makes makes the whole system to be more fragile. And when it's more fragile MPA is the solution. And that's exactly where we are. And this is the reason for those with I am. Not sure I did answer exactly your your question. So if it's not, please don't hesitate to elaborate

Being judicious in the face of some macro environment any color here would be great.

Sure so on the <unk>.

For the quarter were trying to estimate the next quarter.

No, get Gideon. That was the color I was looking for. I mean, there there is sort of option and it sounds like bandwidth and higher resolution video is 1 of The Catalyst that's happening. Secularly in the market, right? Just understand great. All right, thanks guys.

Thank you.

Thus based on product mix and the combination of the.

Revenue drivers.

The next question is from Dave storms of stormgate.

The result.

Please go ahead.

What we've provided the guidance.

Understood I appreciate that and then just wanted to turn to the medical segment, great to see that you had the three product launches curious as to what the pacing made year round for further product launches and what the logistics look like for them for expansion there. Okay I agree with both of us or not.

Medical doctors, but they try to get us both at the same point of view.

Good morning and thank you for taking my questions. Um just wanted to start with the gross profit margin guide in Q4 year to date gross profit margin is tracking around 63% uh and you're obviously guiding between 58 to 60. Is this an expectation that the mix is going to change? Is this typical seasonality? Uh, it's just, you know, being judicious in the face of the macro environment. Any caller here would be great.

A medical Doctor.

There are stages when.

Sure, so, in the beginning of the quarter, we're trying to estimate the next quarter, a a results based on product mix.

The doctor penetrate with the camera in order to see what is in and then we started to shoulder or to burn off to do anything at this time.

All the frames are lost and he's blunt and he uses the memory you had before to see that he does correctly and the reason for that is because.

And the combination of the revenue and drivers and the result is what we've provided to the guidance.

There is no any resistance.

Resistance of electromagnetics.

No EMC the EMI is celebrating and influenced the very high what we do enable that the continuity of the surgery with our blue screens and this is one of the reasons that it is adopted in the industry and the other reason the.

Understood appreciate that. And then just wanted to turn, uh, to the medical segment. Great to see if they had the 3 product launches curious as to what the pacing may be around for further product launches and, uh, what the logistics look like, uh, for for expansion there. Okay. Uh, I believe that both of us are not the medical doctors, but I tried to get us both to the same point of view.

Of a medical doctor. There are stages when

The other reason is the pressure to move towards single use endoscopy. This reason is originated by.

The doctor penetrates with the camera in order to see what is inside. Then he starts to solder, burn, or do anything at that time.

The <unk>.

Tendency that same electric.

Is it a minimally invasive surgery responsible for maybe more than 50% of the infections in the hospital and both the try to move from single use endoscopy in one hand and to have more resilient system on the other hand, there is a third reason, which I mentioned in the second.

All the frames are lost, and he's blind. He uses the memory he had before to see that he does correctly. And the reason for that is because.

if there is no any

Drive to look for a solution that has immunity against electromagnetics. So the doctor would not have lost frames and the cost will be cheaper and enable single news and those could be the third is a little bit more upstart that try to extend it over the phone is the distance between the.

The.

Lens and sensor when they are remote.

The surgery sees.

In style.

<unk> life choices stroke, when they're connected it opens up so we can see larger and larger picture and this is a third motivation for why to move from traditional endoscopy to this new endoscopy that enables both bigger picture.

Both cheaper and.

Electromagnetic.

Resilience. So you can the doctor can do whatever you want without losing frames.

That's great color. Thank you.

I would say D C.

Please go ahead.

John.

Yeah.

Using those copy. This reason is originated by uh, the um, tendency that minimal invasive surgery, responsible for maybe more than 50% of the infections in hospitals and both the try to move from single use endoscopy on 1 end and to have more resilient system on the other hand. And there is a third reason, which I'll mention in a second drive to look for solutions that have immunity against against electromagnetic. So the doctor would not have lost frames and the cost will be cheaper and enable single use in those copy. The third is a little bit more abstract, I'll try to explain it over. The phone is the distance between the the the, um, lens and the and the sensor, when they are remote, the the um surgery sees the what is what's inside our body like through a stroke.

No further questions at this time Mr. Ben.

Would you like to make your concluding statement, yes. Thank you I would like to thank you all for joining us today for our third quarter of 2025 earnings call and for your continued support and interest in Berlin semiconductor, we hope to meet you again in our next earnings call Goodbye.

When they are connected, it opens up so we can see larger larger picture and this is a third motivation for why to move from traditional endoscopy to this new endoscopy that enables both bigger picture.

Both cheaper and electromagnetic resilience so you can the doctor can do whatever he wants without losing frames.

Okay.

Thank you.

Semiconductor conference call. Thank you for your participation you May go ahead and disconnect.

That's great. Call there. Thank you.

I repeat, if you have a question, please press star 1.

There are no further questions at this time. Mr. Benze, would you like to make your concluding statement? Yes, thank you.
