EXHIBIT 99.1 GSI Technology, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSI Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIT) today reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025. Summary Comments for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Revenue increased 12% year-over-year, fueled by strong market momentum for leading SRAM solutions Quarter-end cash balance of $70.7 million, up from $13.4 million at the end of Q4 FY2025, including $46.9 million in net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering in October 2025 Subsequent to quarter-end, announced proof-of-concept (“POC”) with G2 Tech and two government agencies—roughly $1 million in government funding expected to be received Published third-party benchmark results for a multimodal edge inference workload, showing Gemini-II achieved ~3 seconds time-to-first-token (TTFT) at ~30 watts system power in the tested configuration, versus GPU-based systems at materially higher system power Lee-Lean Shu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the quarter, we advanced our development roadmap, raised equity financing and achieved key commercialization and validation milestones for Gemini-II. The capital raise supported the kickoff of Plato hardware development and the continued buildout of the Gemini-II software stack. We also finalized an agreement with G2 Tech related to the previously announced POC for an autonomous perimeter security system using drones and real-time video analytics. As detailed in our third- party benchmark press release earlier today, Gemini-II delivered ~3 seconds TTFT at ~30 watts system power in the tested configuration, which highlights Gemini-II’s energy-efficient, low-latency profile for power-constrained edge deployments.” Shu added, “Building on these milestones, we are moving into the next phase of our APU roadmap. Leveraging the recent third-party validation and the low–power, low-latency characteristics of our APU architecture for edge inference, we are pursuing initial design wins for Gemini-II in defense-oriented programs such as drones and unmanned systems, as well as select commercial edge deployments.” Commenting on GSI’s third quarter of fiscal 2026 financial results and fiscal fourth quarter outlook, Mr. Shu stated, “In the fiscal third quarter, revenue was $6.1 million, up 12% year-over-year. We have sustained demand for our SRAM solutions, with an expectation for strong sales to our chip design and simulation systems customers in the first half of calendar year 2026. Current expectations for the upcoming fiscal fourth quarter are net revenues in a range of $5.7 million to $6.5 million, with gross margin of approximately 54% to 56%.” Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Summary Financials The Company reported net revenues of $6.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $5.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $6.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Gross margin was 52.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 54.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and 54.8% in the preceding second quarter of fiscal 2026. The decrease in gross margin in the third quarter of 2026 was primarily due to product mix. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, sales to KYEC were $1.1 million, or 17.9% of net revenues, compared to $1.2 million, or 22.7% of net revenues, in the same period a year ago and $802,000, or 12.5% of net revenues, in the prior quarter. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, sales to Nokia were $675,000, or 11.1% of net revenues, compared to $239,000, or 4.4% of net revenues, in the same period a year ago and $200,000, or 3.1% of net revenues, in the prior quarter. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, sales to Cadence Design Systems were $233,000, or 3.8% of net revenues, compared to $971,000, or 17.9% of net revenues, in the same period a year ago and $1.4 million, or 21.6% of net revenues, in the prior quarter. Military/defense sales were 28.5% of third quarter shipments compared to 30.0% of shipments in the comparable period a year ago and 28.9% of shipments in the prior quarter. SigmaQuad sales were 41.7% of third quarter shipments in fiscal 2026 compared to 39.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and 50.1% in the prior quarter. Total operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $10.1 million, compared to $7.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and $6.7 million in the prior quarter. Research and development expenses were $7.5 million, compared to $4.0 million in the prior-year period and $3.8 million in the prior quarter. The increase in

research and development spending compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to the purchase of IP for the development of Plato and associated consulting expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3.0 million in the prior-year quarter and $3.0 million in the previous quarter. Third quarter fiscal 2026 operating loss was $(6.9) million compared to an operating loss of $(4.1) million in the prior-year period and an operating loss of $(3.2) million in the prior quarter. Third quarter fiscal 2026 net loss included interest and other income of $3.6 million, reflecting a non-cash accounting adjustment of $6.2 million for the change in the fair value of the pre-funded warrants and issuance costs of $2.8 million from the recent Registered Direct Offering, and a tax benefit of $(251,000), compared to $70,000 in interest and other income and a tax provision of $44,000 for the same period a year ago. In the preceding second quarter, net loss included interest and other income of $43,000 and a tax provision of $41,000. Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(3.0) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(3.2) million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. For the prior year third fiscal quarter of 2025, net loss was $(4.0) million, or $(0.16) per diluted share. Total third quarter pre-tax stock-based compensation expense was $783,000 compared to $429,000 in the comparable quarter a year ago and $856,000 in the prior quarter.
