– Core business at inflection point: 33% YoY growth for Q1,
~40% YoY growth projected for Q2 2026 –
KFAR SAVA, Israel, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC), a leading provider of high-performance networking and data infrastructure solutions, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Financial Results
Silicom’s revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $19.1 million, a 33% increase compared with $14.4 million for the first quarter of 2025.
On a GAAP basis, the company’s net loss for the quarter totalled $2.4 million, or $0.41 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), compared with $2.8 million, or $0.49 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), recorded in the first quarter of 2025.
On a non-GAAP basis (as described and reconciled below), net loss for the quarter totalled $1.5 million, or $0.25 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), a 31% reduction compared with $2.1 million, or $0.37 per ordinary share (basic and diluted), for the first quarter of 2025.
Guidance
We are excited to report that not only did we surpass our revenue expectations this quarter, but that our momentum continues to accelerate, and that we anticipate even greater achievements for the second quarter. We expect second quarter revenues to range from $20 to $21 million, representing accelerated 40% growth on a year-over-year basis at the upper end of the guidance.
Comments of Management
Liron Eizenman, Silicom’s President and CEO, commented, “The first quarter was exceptionally strong in both sales and pipeline development, confirming the beyond-projection performance of our strategic plan and execution. After achieving 33% revenue growth on a year-over-year basis for the first quarter, and given the increased visibility provided by resilient demand for our core business products, we expect to deliver even stronger performance in the future, including sales that reach $82-$83 million in 2026 and continue building throughout 2027. While we were pleased to close eight Design Wins in 2025, during the past four months we have already closed four new Design Wins, and continue working through a broad and deep pipeline for our core Edge, Smart NIC and FPGA offerings. We are thus well positioned to meet or exceed our target of 7-9 design wins for 2026.
“In fact, these four recent design wins are a concrete demonstration of the strength and momentum of our core business. The expansion of our global networking and security-as-a-service customer to an $8-to-10 million annual run-rate, the Tier-1 cyber security leader’s selection of a higher-end Edge system for its next-generation product line, and our streaming infrastructure win with a path to $25-to-30 million in revenues over five years, collectively demonstrate the upsell power of our long-term relationships and the additive, non-cannibalizing nature of our portfolio. In parallel, our recent FPGA Smart NIC design win with a European secure communications leader, which will scale toward $3 million per year and marks our third Post-Quantum Cryptography design win to date, further expands our PQC customer base. Together, these wins confirm that our core business is not only thriving, but also growing faster than originally projected.”
Mr. Eizenman continued, “While our core business accelerates through this key inflection point, we are also building deep momentum with two of the world’s most promising contenders in the high-stakes race to architect the future infrastructure of AI inference. Reinforcing our position as a forward-thinking solutions provider in this space, we recently commenced the co-development of a specialized AI inference solution in cooperation with a major customer. Our pursuit of this upside is made possible by our unique platform of core assets, including our deep technological expertise and proprietary IP roots, our rapid, reliable customization and support capabilities, and our extensive and growing Tier-1 customer base.”
Mr. Eizenman concluded, “As we move forward through 2026, we are ideally positioned to benefit from a stronger-than-ever pipeline and from the extraordinary momentum of our target markets, both for our core products and for our AI inference infrastructure offerings. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, and moving aggressively to actualize our full growth potential. We look forward to reporting the significant value that this will create for our shareholders, both in the quarters ahead and over the long term.”
