Silicom Reports Q1 2026 Results

Published

on

– 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.”

Crab2B Makes AsiaWorld-Expo Debut, Connecting Hong Kong’s Mobile Wholesalers with Global Buyers

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Oct. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Crab2B, a pioneering B2B trading platform dedicated to mobile devices and digital products, will make its debut at the HKICEC Global Mobile Exchange Pavilion during the Global Sources Hong Kong Shows, opening at AsiaWorld-Expo on October 18, 2026.

Hong Kong has long been a major hub for electronics wholesale trade, but buyers still often rely on fragmented channels to identify suppliers. Crab2B was created to bridge this gap, bringing Hong Kong-based mobile and digital product wholesalers together on one dedicated B2B platform. Headquartered in Hong Kong, Crab2B combines the manufacturing strength of mainland China and the Greater Bay Area’s extensive supply chain capabilities with Hong Kong’s established global trading network. Together, these strengths enable Crab2B to simplify cross-border sourcing, connect buyers directly with suppliers and make international trade more accessible and efficient.

For its first appearance at a major industry trade show, Crab2B is bringing together more than 200 merchants already registered on the platform, marking a significant milestone in its development. The Crab2B booth is expected to attract electronics traders from Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East and beyond. Visitors will be able to discover the app’s capabilities through live demonstrations, register on the platform and connect directly with participating merchants to explore business opportunities.

A buyer who experienced the Crab2B app shared: “With Crab2B, we no longer have to search far and wide for reliable suppliers. The platform brings Hong Kong’s mobile phone wholesalers together in one place, giving us greater visibility into available products and sourcing opportunities. Whether I’m at my desk or on the move, I can find products and connect with suppliers whenever I need to. For businesses like ours that source across borders, that kind of access makes a real difference. It saves time, reduces transaction costs and helps us do business more efficiently.”

Crab2B CEO Luo Yaohong said, “We want to be pioneers in cross-border B2B trading for digital products, creating new opportunities for Hong Kong’s wholesale industry. As Hong Kong places greater emphasis on developing digital trade, we’re addressing a longstanding gap in the market with a dedicated digital platform that connects Hong Kong’s electronics suppliers directly with buyers around the world. Our ambition is to make cross-border trading easier, faster and more accessible, while helping Hong Kong businesses reach new markets.”

The platform’s trade show debut is also attracting attention from international merchants, with exhibitors expressing interest in joining Crab2B to expand their reach into overseas markets. Meanwhile, merchants already registered on the platform are looking forward to the launch of its planned online marketplace, which will create further opportunities for sustained collaboration and business growth.

Building on this debut, Crab2B will remain firmly rooted in Hong Kong while expanding its connections with businesses around the world. The company will continue to enhance its platform with smarter sourcing tools, more comprehensive trading capabilities and an increasingly connected network of suppliers and buyers. By making it easier to discover products, establish business relationships and conduct cross-border transactions, Crab2B aims to open new opportunities for merchants of all sizes and help shape the next chapter of Hong Kong’s digital trade industry.

Bioethanol from human hair – Indian start-up’s solution to rising prices of grains and sugar

Published

on

By

GUJARAT, India, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In what could be called the beginning of the 5G (fifth-generation) of bioethanol or non-cellulosic bioethanol or non-sugar-based biofuels, an Indian start-up, Techofest Global, based out of Gujarat, has developed its own, indigenous, and patented technology for the production of bioethanol from waste human hair. Such processes would significantly reduce the employment of sugars, grains, and agricultural residues, which form the classical first- and second-generation bioethanol feedstocks. As a result, the rising fuel-vs.-food/fodder debate is anticipated to reduce, and instead, ethanol produced from municipal/industrial waste, after trials, can supplement the current supply being used as blends with presently retailed fossil fuels (E20, E27, etc.). 

As stated by Dr. Ravi, the founder-CEO of Techofest Global, the strategic priority and the USP of the start-up is industrial symbiosis, which, typically, involves an ecosystem of up-cycling/valorising the effluents of an industry, thereby creating a value-chain for residues often lacking an end-of-life. With more than three decades of experience in designing customized nuclear fusion reactors for international programmes, such as ITER, JET/UKAEA and SST-1, Dr. Ravi, a seasoned mechanical engineer, spearheads the start-up’s patented technologies’ scale-up and commercialization.

Two biochemical engineers, Dr. Navnit – the former CTO, and Dr. Kabilan – the former CEO of Biomakerz, Chennai, are the brains behind the current technology/process portfolio of the joint-venture between Techofest Global and Biomakerz. They have been working on biorefineries’ process intensification for more than a decade. “Having foreseen the fuel-vs-fodder/food competition as early as the year 2015, we began developing techno-economically feasible and viable in-vitro metabolically-engineered bioprocesses for scaling-up ethanol production from municipal waste streams between 2019–2021”, says Navnit. After developing operational technologies for international biofuel organizations, serving process engineer roles with certain biorefineries-related OMC R&D’s of India, Dr. Navnit, presently works for a premier academic institution.

An on-going fermentation trial at the Techofest Global-Biomakerz JV’s R&D facility

Techofest Global has developed and tested, in its R&D JV’s pilot-facility of ~100-L, 3 innovative and cost-effective technologies, such as 5G ethanol production using human hair, used cooking oil (UCO), and enriched bio-methane production from disposed sanitary napkins.

“With massive CapEx and OpEx, 2G ethanol technology is facing a major commercialization bottleneck, owing to competition with food/livestock fodder, requirement of a cost-intensive pre-treatment procedure, and the requirement of cellulolytic cocktails, which have a poor recycle efficiency. The proprietary 5G SAFE process developed for the start-up circumvents the mentioned constraints, and instead, utilizes a single-stage saccharification followed by fermentation, and records over 85–90% biocatalyst recovery. Likewise, the proprietary SIM process for bio-methane production, exclusively developed for the start-up, is 2x faster with improved intermittent feeding cycles and continuous gas harvest”, says Navnit.

“With on-going pre-commercialization trials, the proprietary ethanol and bio-methane processes of ours are soon being commercialized”, says Ms. Bhumika, the co-founder and the corporate advisor of the start-up. Furthermore, Mr. Ronak pilots the organization’s global market entry and commercialization frontier.

Techofest Global’s veteran Principal Technology Advisors include: Dr VS Tripathi, former Joint Director, DRDE Gwalior, Dr B S Munjal, former Director, Structures and Thermal group, SAC/ISRO, Academician and Advisor CIKS-Dharohar, GTU, and Dr AV Santhanababu, former Scientist at Satish Dhawan Space Centre. With on-going R&D activities, Dr. Munjal says, “the start-up is striving to provide a unique solution along the lines of the Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat Vision 2047”.
