Market
The market for wireless SoCs is truly diverse including applications for smart homes (e.g. smart lights air
conditioners ovens coffee machines etc.) consumer electronics (e.g. smart speakers drones etc.) industrial
automation (e.g. mechanical arms) smart agriculture (e.g. soil PH detector CO2 detector etc.) healthcare (e.g.monitoring devices for diabetes blood pressure etc.) energy control (solar energy devices EV chargers etc.) the
internet of vehicles (OBD devices dashboards etc.) and education (talking pens interactive whiteboards etc.).The smart home sector continues to be our main revenue contributor delivering growth in line with expectations. At
the same time IoT adoption across non-smart-home applications is accelerating with these segments growing at a
significantly faster pace and helping to support our gross margin.This year we have also seen new application scenarios for Espressif’s chips in areas such as electronic musical
instruments automated pig feeding systems and the apparel manufacturing industry. We believe that as
engineering communities share and apply their expertise across different industries our technologies are reaching

Business Model
Business-to-Developer-to-Business (B2D2B)
Espressif has deployed the Business-to-Developer type of marketing not only because it has gained prominence in
recent years but also because it has proven to be more effective since the influence of developers on organizations
of all sizes has gained traction. In other words most developers are R&D employees in various companies and bring
forth business opportunities from the companies they work for.This way the developer ecosystem we have created at Espressif demonstrates how the value of networks can grow
exponentially:
* The more developers we attract as customers the more hardware and software solutions we generate.* The more successful hardware and software solutions we create the more our reputation spreads with positive
feedback from happy customers/developers.* The above-mentioned interaction between people in our network prompts the creation of more content which -in
turn- attracts more users/developers searching for new content.* Likewise other third-party development platforms join our ecosystem and bring in new developers as our
influence continues to grow.Having successfully applied the B2D2B model Espressif can now focus on R&D investments while maintaining a
small business team that supports a large number of customers directly. In fact most of our revenue is gained
through direct sales.

Risks and Uncertainties
Financial Risk
The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition
and generally requires of its customers no collateral. The Company provides an
allowance for expected credit losses based on the net amount expected to be
collected on such receivables. Losses have not been significant for any of the periods
presented in this report.R&D Risk
Espressif’s research and development strategy is focused on leveraging new
technologies for the creation of innovative AIoT products. Any delays or changes in
the development of these technologies by our industry partners or a failure of our
products to achieve market acceptance could compromise our competitive position.Competitors
As the market for AIoT products grows we face an increasing antagonism from
relatively large competitors such as Realtek MediaTek Infineon NXP Qualcomm and
others. Intense competition from current players as well as new entrants such as
Silicon Labs and Nordic may reduce our product sales and market share.Suppliers
A significant portion of the Company’s products is fabricated by the Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC). The inability of TSMC to
deliver wafers to the Company in a timely manner could impact the production of the
Company’s products for a certain period of time which could have an adverse effect
on the Company’s business financial condition results of operations and cash flow.Customers
