Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Arteris, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 12, 2026: 65 risks under these headings, as written.4
- Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
- We face significant competition from larger companies and third-party providers that may deploy their resources so they can develop their IP solutions internally.
- We have a history of net losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
- Because our IP solutions are components of end products, if semiconductor, system producers and/or end product producer companies in the aerospace and defense market, automotive market, communications market, consumer electronics market, enterprise computing market, and industrial market do not incorporate our solutions into their end products or if the end products of our customers do not achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to generate adequate license sales and royalty income from our products.
- We depend on growth and economic stability in the end markets that use our products. Any slowdown in the growth and economic stability of these end markets could harm our business.
- We depend on market acceptance of third-party semiconductor IP.
- The success of our business depends on sustaining or growing our licensing revenue, and the failure to achieve such revenue would lead to a material decline in our results of operations.
- The nature of the design win process requires us to incur significant expenses without any guarantee that research and development and sales efforts will generate revenue, which could adversely affect our financial results.
- Even if we succeed in securing design wins for our IP interconnect and other solutions and our SoC Integration Automation software solutions, we may not generate timely or sufficient margins or margins from those wins and our financial results could suffer.
- We continually pursue new IP interconnect, SoC integration automation, and other technology initiatives, and if we fail to successfully carry out these initiatives, our business could be harmed.
- We may have to invest more resources in research and development than anticipated, which could increase our operating expenses and negatively affect our operating results.
- Product errors or defects could expose us to liability and harm our reputation, and we could lose market share.
The other 54 risks
- If we fail to offer high-quality products and support, our reputation could suffer.
- Our dependence on international customers and operations also subjects us to a range of other additional regulatory, trade policy, operational, financial, and political risks that could adversely affect our financial results.
- Downturns or volatility in general economic conditions, including because of geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions in the countries in which we conduct business, could harm our business.
- Changes in legislation and regulation in the United States and other countries, including new and revised trade policies and the imposition of tariffs, may adversely impact our business and our customers’ businesses, and may impact our results of operations and financial condition.
- The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, including significant supply chain disruption, may limit our ability to maintain or improve our revenue.
- Our revenue has been concentrated among a small number of licensees and customers, and if we lose any of these customers and fail to replace them, our revenue may decrease substantially.
- Failure to effectively expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our products.
- The development and use of artificial intelligence, and the failure to adopt and manage the use of artificial intelligence, present risks and challenges that may negatively impact our business.
- We typically experience a strong seasonality in sales in the fourth calendar quarter of the year. As a result, our results of operations are subject to substantial quarterly fluctuations, which may seriously harm our business.
- Substantial portions of our sales are made, and we anticipate will be made, to aerospace and defense, automotive, communications, consumer electronics, enterprise computing, and industrial suppliers. Any downturn in any of these markets could significantly harm our business.
- A significant portion of our revenue comes from licensing fees, which may vary from period to period.
- Royalty rates could decrease for existing and future license agreements, which could materially adversely affect our operating results.
- Changing currency exchange rates could harm our business.
- We have made acquisitions and, in the future, expect to pursue acquisitions of and investments in new businesses, products or technologies, joint ventures and other strategic transactions that involve numerous risks and could disrupt and harm our business.
- Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited and could prevent us from executing our growth strategy.
- We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, and we may need to incur significant expenditures to address the additional operational and control requirements of our growth, either of which could harm our business and operating results.
- We depend on key and highly skilled personnel to operate our business, and if we are unable to retain our current personnel and hire additional personnel, our ability to develop and market our products could be harmed, which in turn could adversely affect our financial results.
- Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.
- Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.
- If our counterparties are unable to fulfill their financial and other obligations to us, our business and results of operations may be affected adversely.
- Risks Related to Intellectual Property, Information Technology and Data Security and Privacy
- If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology and inventions through patents and other intellectual property rights, our ability to compete successfully and our financial results could be adversely impacted.
- If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology and inventions through trade secrets, our competitive position and financial results could be adversely affected.
- Our ability to compete successfully depends in part on our ability to commercialize our IP solutions without infringing the patent, trade secret or other intellectual property rights of others.
- Claims by other companies that we infringe their intellectual property rights or that patents on which we rely are invalid could adversely affect our business.
- We may not be able to continue to obtain licenses to third-party software and intellectual property on reasonable terms or at all, which may disrupt our business and harm our financial results.
- Any dispute regarding our intellectual property may require us to indemnify certain customers, the cost of which could severely harm our business.
- Working with the U.S. government, including through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, in connection with licenses and other contracts involves risks related to data rights, intellectual property protection and eligibility status.
- Cybersecurity threats continue to increase in frequency and sophistication; a successful cybersecurity attack or prolonged outage regardless of cause could interrupt or disrupt our information technology systems, or those of our third-party service providers, or cause the loss of availability of confidential or protected data which could disrupt our business, force us to incur excessive costs or cause reputational harm.
- We are subject to data protection, AI, and privacy and security laws, regulations, standards and other requirements across different markets where we conduct our business. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.
- Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory, Accounting and Tax Matters
- Our failure to comply with the large body of laws and regulations to which we are subject could materially harm our business.
- Our failure to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, other applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, and applicable anti-money laundering laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
- We are subject to government regulations, including import, export and economic sanctions laws and artificial intelligence regulations that may restrict our ability to sell to or get paid by customers in certain regions, or expose us to liability and increase our costs.
- Assertions by third parties of infringement or other violation by us of their intellectual property rights could harm our business.
- We will lose sales if we are unable to obtain government authorization to export certain of our products and services, and we will be subject to legal and regulatory consequences if we do not comply with applicable export control laws and regulations or if such laws and regulations were to change.
- We face risks associated with doing business in China.
- Joint ventures or similar investments are subject to a number of risks, the occurrence of which could adversely impact any of our current or future joint ventures or similar investments, which in turn could harm our business.
- Social and environmental responsibility regulations, policies and provisions, as well as customer and investor demands, may make our supply chain more complex and may adversely affect our relationships with customers, investors and government regulators.
- We could be subject to changes in tax rates or the adoption of new tax legislation, whether in or out of the United States, or could otherwise have exposure to additional tax liabilities, which could harm our business.
- Our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
- The requirements of being a public company require significant resources and management attention and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.
- If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
- We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
- Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
- An active and liquid trading market for our common stock may not be sustained.
- Our stock price may be volatile, and investors in our common stock may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price paid, or at all.
- We may fail to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business, which could cause our stock price to decline.
- If equity research analysts or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
- Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.
- K. Charles Janac, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, beneficially owns a significant percentage of our common stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.
- Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans or otherwise could dilute the ownership and voting power of our other stockholders.
- We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
- Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and under the DGCL contain antitakeover provisions that could prevent or discourage a takeover.
- General Risk Factors
- Actions of stockholders could cause us to incur substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources and have an adverse effect on our business.
- Litigation, including securities class action litigation, may impair our reputation and lead us to incur significant costs. For example, we are currently involved in ongoing litigation related to patent infringement claims.
