FY2026, to 31 May 2026, was a record: revenue up 51 percent to GBP 27.5 million with EBITDA of GBP 4.7 million. Lifetime supply revenues rose 50 percent to USD 375 million and the sales pipeline expanded to USD 600 million across space, industrial and automotive. Five ASIC products are in volume production. FY2027 guidance is GBP 32 to 34 million revenue with approximately 80 percent already contracted. It partners with TSMC and GlobalFoundries and markets an ITAR-free European supply chain, the specific reason SIAE Microelettronica named it as its ASIC design partner. The space business is scored separately as a second domain row because its contracts are funded but no silicon is flying and supply revenue sits at the end of the decade: the April 2026 contracts cover ASIC and ASSP silicon for satellite payload and user terminal, USD 6.8 million of NRE from FY2026 into FY2028 with up to USD 3 million of UK Space Agency matched funding, and potential user-terminal supply revenue above USD 50 million from 2030.","sub_category":"Avionics","signals_total":4,"url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/ensilica","title":"EnSilica · ai core, Oxfordshire, England, United Kingdom · scores, facts and signals · Frontier Tech Intelligence","description":"AI Core watchlist (score 76) 4 signals and 29 facts with sources.","publisher":"Frontier Tech Intelligence (Future Frontiers, a trade name of Essential Cognition Inc.)","note":"Assessment by Frontier Tech Intelligence; facts and signals carry their sources."}
