SEALSQ Revenue Jumps 131% as Gross Margin Expands

SEALSQ reported first-half 2026 revenue of $11.2 million, compared with $4.8 million one year earlier. Revenue therefore increased 131% as demand strengthened across secure semiconductor products and digital identity services. Gross profit also climbed 233% to $5.4 million during the reporting period.

Meanwhile, gross margin expanded to about 48% as SEALSQ benefited from a stronger product mix. Renewed demand for Vault-IC secure elements supported growth, while PKI subscriptions also increased revenue. Quantix Edge Security and IC’Alps added further contributions during the first half.

IC’Alps generated about $2.5 million in revenue after SEALSQ acquired the company during August 2025. The acquisition expanded SEALSQ’s capabilities across custom ASIC design and secure semiconductor engineering. North America generated $5.6 million, accounting for half of total first-half revenue.

Higher Spending Pushes SEALSQ Net Loss to $27.8M

SEALSQ reported an operating loss of $32.2 million, compared with $21.2 million during H1 2025. The company’s net loss widened to $27.8 million from $20 million during the comparable period. Higher spending reflected product development, acquisitions, certification work, and corporate expansion.

Research and development expenses rose to $8.7 million from $4.7 million during the previous year’s first half. General and administrative costs increased to $23.1 million from $13.8 million. Selling and marketing expenses also reached $7.2 million as the company expanded commercialization efforts.

Despite higher costs, SEALSQ ended June with $486.1 million in cash, equivalents, and restricted cash. Broader liquidity reached about $495 million when short-term investments were included. That liquidity supports planned investments across semiconductor development, acquisitions, and post-quantum commercialization programs.

Quantum Pipeline Tops $225M as SEALSQ Maintains Outlook

SEALSQ reported an active business pipeline exceeding $225 million through 2029 as of September 9. More than $100 million relates to post-quantum projects, including QS7001 and the QVault TPM. Pipeline figures remain management estimates and depend on customer validation, technical integration, and contract conversion.

The company also advanced certification and testing for its QS7001 post-quantum semiconductor during the first half. Thirty prospective customers and partners were evaluating QS7001 and QVault products by June 30. SEALSQ expects initial commercial revenue from these products toward the end of 2026.

SEALSQ reaffirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance between $27 million and $36 million. The range represents expected growth of 50% to 100% from audited 2025 revenue of $18.3 million. Growth drivers include IC’Alps, Vault-IC demand, PKI services, Quantix Edge Security, and post-quantum product commercialization.
