Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (AKTS) provides acoustic wave radio frequency filters for mobile and other wireless markets. In its recent second-quarter showing, Akoustis notched a triple-digit growth in its top line.
Buoyed by robust demand, revenue increased 180.7% year-over-year to $3.7 million, but still fell short of estimates by $31.2 thousand. Net loss per share at $0.23 came in line with estimates. Notably, the company achieved top-line growth amid COVID-19 and semi-conductor supply chain challenges.
Further, Akoustis is ramping up the production of its XBAW RF filter solutions. It plans to increase its annual production capacity to 500 million filters annually.
With these developments in mind, let us take a look at the changes in Akoustis’ key risk factors that investors should know.

Under the Tech & Innovation risk category, Akoustis highlighted that the semiconductor industry is marked by pursuit and protection of intellectual property rights.
