This document contains forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “expect” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may address the following subjects among others: the status of filter designs under development, the prospects for licensing filter designs upon completion of development, plans for other filter designs not currently in development, potential customers for our designs, the timing and amount of future royalty streams, the expected duration of our capital resources, our hiring plans, the impact of our designs on the mobile device market, and our business strategy. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the following: our limited operating history; our ability to complete designs that meet customer specifications; the ability of our customers (or their manufacturers) to fabricate our designs in commercial quantities; the ability of our customers to sell products incorporating our designs to OEMs; our dependence on a small number of customers; the ability of our designs to significantly lower costs as compared to other designs and solutions; the risk that the intense competition and rapid technological change in our industry renders our designs less useful or obsolete; our ability to find, recruit and retain the highly skilled personnel required for our design process in sufficient numbers to support our growth; our ability to manage growth; and general market, economic and business conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements are under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K) or Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update forward-looking statements.

We may refer to information regarding potential markets for products and other industry data. We believe that all such information has been obtained from reliable sources that are customarily relied upon by companies in our industry. However, we have not independently verified any such information.

▪ Large, growing market, 21% CAGR, as the RF front-end industry undergoes dramatic increases in growth and complexity due to:

• Need for more bandwidth, especially due to initial 5G deployments• Band Proliferation• Carrier Aggregation

• Overall increases in RF Front-End complexity

▪ Resonant’s revolutionary ISN® platform expected to disrupt the RFFE supply chain and enable new entrants into the market that has been dominated by only a few large players

• Devices currently shipping have increased customers’ share of market 2x -10x their average market share • Greater efficiency that allows more designs per designer

▪ Resonant continues to retire risk through execution both internally and externally• New tools (ISN) and IP that enable rapid time to market

• ISN COMPARE™ - real time comparative analytics• XBAR™ - extending ISN into BAW• PMTx™ - validates software modules with customers

• Our business model is licensing designs on a per-unit royalty basis• Creation of a Fabless ecosystem through Resonant’s ISN Foundry Program
