Exhibit 99.1

Mr. Terry Lingren 

Chairman and CEO 

Resonant Inc.

 

Dear Terry,

 

Park City Capital, LLC is a private investment firm based in Dallas, TX. As you know from prior conversations, investment funds that we manage have acquired a 4.35%1 interest in Resonant Inc. (“RESN” or the “Company”) bringing our position to 300,000 shares of common stock. Based on publicly available data, it is our understanding that we are RESN’s fifth largest shareholder. We have acquired this stake over the past couple years, as we think the shares are significantly undervalued.

 

We are excited to learn about the outcome of Milestone Four with Skyworks, but we believe that the opportunity in front of the company is much larger than any one customer. Our research leads us to believe that 12 months from now, Resonant should be generating revenues from multiple customers and will likely have or be close to having a tunable filter prototype that could be truly disruptive.

 

Once at least one filter design is accepted, RESN will be the only pure play filter company. Given that the filter market is very large and growing extremely fast and institutional investors’ familiarity with companies like Skyworks (SWKS), Avago (AVGO) and Qorvo (QRVO), we believe the institutional investment community will quickly realize the potential upside and the stock will perform very well over the next six to 18 months.

 

We also would like to congratulate you on your strategy to execute a license business model, which should be extremely profitable. The market has rewarded other license strategies with very high multiples. We note that ARM Holdings currently trades at 37.3x 2015E EPS and 16.7x 2015E sales.

 

Table 1 shows that we think RESN could trade at approximately $84 per share over the next 12 months based on 8.0x 2017E sales.

We believe the company is well capitalized and doesn’t need any additional capital until at least 2016, at which point, the company should be generating revenue from multiple customers. As a result, we don’t believe the company should raise any additional capital until the stock is significantly higher.

 

Furthermore, we would recommend that management and the board continue to focus on its business and only entertain acquisition offers that fully value the opportunity, which we believe would be greater than $50 per share, if a deal was to happen in the next few months. However, given that we believe RESN is extremely undervalued and the long-term opportunity is colossal, we think that remaining independent for the next 12-plus months will likely maximize shareholder value.
