Executive Summary

Wolfspeed’s QQ4 2024 results depict a company in the early stages of scaling large-capacity SiC and GaN production with a still-challenging profitability profile. Revenue for the quarter came in at USD 200.7 million, up marginally YoY (1.7%) but flat QoQ, while gross profit was a hair above break-even at USD 2.2 million and gross margin persisted at roughly 1.1%. The quarter delivered a negative operating result of USD -119.4 million and a net loss of USD -174.9 million, with earnings per share of -1.39. A heavy fixed-cost structure, ongoing R&D and SG&A investments, and sizeable financing costs (interest expense USD 60.8 million) contributed to the weak bottom-line despite modest top-line growth. Free cash flow was deeply negative at USD -885.4 million, driven by operating cash burn (USD -239.5 million) and a steep capital expenditure program (USD -645.9 million). The company ended the period with USD 1.0459 billion in cash and equivalents and a sizable debt burden (total debt USD 6.2914 billion; net debt USD 5.2455 billion), implying substantial liquidity but a fragile near-term balance sheet health if operating performance does not improve. Management commentary is not available in the provided transcript, limiting direct quotes from the earnings call. Investors should view Wolfspeed as a secular-growth bets on SiC/GaN adoption with a high capital-expenditure cadence and meaningful near-term profitability risks. The roadmap hinges on accelerating shipment volumes, improving gross margins through capacity utilization, and reducing leverage over the planning horizon.
