Including estimates of potential future royalties4 and silicon orders, new bookings, excluding WiseWave's multi-year subscription license, were up 245% year-on-year. Third quarter bookings were driven by North American and Chinese customers5.

Within the first month after closing the OpenFive acquisition, we delivered a leading storage design that leverages both Alphawave IP and the custom silicon capabilities acquired with OpenFive.

The accumulated turnover during the life of the company6 exceeded 480 million dollars.

Extend technology leadership and strong customer traction

Since 2017, the company has demonstrated connectivity technology leadership across 7nm, 6nm, 5nm and 4nm technologies. In Q3 2022, Alphawave IP extended its lead with a second design win in 3nm technology. The company expects more design wins at 3nm and is working with its foundry partners at 3nm and beyond.

Along with year-over-year growth in new bookings (excluding multi-year subscription licenses) and a growing customer base, two additional pieces of information underscore the strong level of customer activity during the third quarter: Flexible Spending Account drawdowns7 ( "FSA") of $3.0 million, and reseller agreements in China (VeriSilicon) of $5.5 million. Both FSAs and resale agreements represent the conversion of customer commitments into design profits.

Design activity in the quarter was strong, with seven new designs won, including five from new clients and two from long-standing clients. In the quarter we have taken advantage of the hybrid business model with four new custom silicon awards in September. Our hybrid model enables the business to generate higher revenue streams by capturing the full value of our custom silicon offering.
