Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $20.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 primarily as a result of a $10.4 million increase from revaluation of the cash-settled awards caused by the impact of the higher closing stock price as of period-end, a $9.0 million net increase in staffing-related costs from higher supplemental compensation and share-based compensation, and a $1.7 million increase in transaction and integration expenses, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in depreciation.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OB3") was enacted into law in the U.S. The OB3 modifies certain elements of the TCJA, including permanently changing the limitation on the deduction of business interest expense, as well as making permanent the immediate deduction for domestic R&D expenses. The remaining provisions of the OB3 have multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. As the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets, the enactment of the legislation did not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate as of April 26, 2026. This legislation may be subject to further clarification and the issuance of interpretive guidance; however, the remaining provisions of the OB3 are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We will continue to monitor the potential future impacts of the OB3, including provisions that become effective in subsequent periods, and will reflect any material changes in its financial statements when appropriate.

Current report

Previous report

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, the Company determined that the fair value of its IoT Connectivity Services reporting unit, which is part of the IoT Systems and Connectivity segment, exceeded its carrying amount due to reduced earnings forecasts. As a result, the Company recorded $42.0 million of total pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charges for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 to write down the carrying value of the IoT Connected Services reporting unit to its fair value. The Fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow model (an income approach) and earnings multiples (a market approach). Significant inputs to the reporting unit fair value measurements included forecasted cash flows, discount rates, terminal growth rates and earnings multiples, which were determined by management estimates and assumptions. While we believe the judgments and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions could change the estimated fair value and, therefore, additional impairments could be required.

As disclosed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 26, 2025, the Company’s business is subject to risks related to, among other factors, tariffs and other trade barriers put in the place by government authorities. The imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers by government authorities on imported goods, including raw materials and components essential to our manufacturing processes, could have significant adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the U.S. government imposed additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from numerous countries ("U.S. Tariffs") and multiple countries and groups of countries imposed, or threatened to impose, reciprocal tariffs on imports from the U.S. and other retaliatory measures. Various modifications and delays to the U.S. Tariffs have been announced and further changes are expected to be made in the future, which may include additional sector-based tariffs or other measures. The ultimate impact remains uncertain and will depend on several factors, including whether additional or incremental U.S. Tariffs or other measures are announced or imposed, to what extent other countries implement tariffs or other retaliatory measures in response, and the overall magnitude and duration of these measures. The Company continues to monitor and analyze the impacts of these measures and actions that can be taken to moderate and/or minimize their effects.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain of those U.S. Tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were not authorized by statute, and the legal status, scope and implementation of certain U.S. Tariffs and related measures continue to evolve. Various modifications, suspensions and delays to the U.S. Tariffs have been announced and further changes are expected to be made in the future, which may include additional sector-based tariffs or other measures imposed under alternate legal authorities. The ultimate impact remains uncertain and will depend on several factors, including whether additional or incremental U.S. Tariffs or other measures are announced or imposed, the extent to which existing tariffs remain in effect, to what extent other countries implement tariffs or other retaliatory measures in response, and the overall magnitude and duration of these measures. The Company continues to monitor and analyze the impacts of these measures and actions that can be taken to moderate and/or minimize their effects.

Net sales from Analog Mixed Signal and Wireless increased $10.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, primarily driven by an approximately $6.6 million increase in total TVS product sales and approximately $5.7 million increase in LoRa-enabled product sales, partially offset by an approximately $2.9 million decrease in proximity sensing product sales. Net sales from IoT Systems and Connectivity increased $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, primarily driven by an approximately $2.6 million increase in IoT Hardware sales, partially offset by an approximately $1.5 million decrease in managed connectivity sales.

Previous wording

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, gross profit increased $17.5 million to $138.5 million from $121.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. This increase was primarily driven by an approximately $8.9 million increase from Analog Mixed Signal and Wireless, which experienced higher sales led by LoRa-enabled products due to stronger demand, an approximately $8.0 million increase from Signal Integrity, which experienced higher sales led by data center sales due to stronger demand, partially offset by lower telecommunications sales, and an approximately $1.5 million decrease from IoT Systems and Connectivity, primarily driven by higher overhead costs, partially offset by higher IoT Hardware sales due to stronger demand.

Current wording

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, gross profit increased $20.2 million to $151.5 million from $131.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. This increase was primarily driven by an approximately $15.8 million increase from Signal Integrity, which experienced higher sales led by data center sales due to stronger demand, an approximately $2.7 million increase from Analog Mixed Signal and Wireless, which experienced higher sales led by TVS product sales and LoRa-enabled product sales due to stronger demand, and an approximately $1.6 million increase from IoT Systems and Connectivity, primarily driven by higher IoT Hardware sales.

Current wording

Restructuring expenses were $1.2 million in the first quarters of fiscal year 2027 and 2026 from structural reorganization actions to reduce our workforce as a result of cost-saving measures and internal resource alignment.

Previous wording

Interest expense, including amortization and a write-off of deferred financing costs, decreased by $33.8 million to $38.8 million from $72.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2025, primarily due to interest savings as a result of approximately $188.1 million of 2028 Notes extinguished in exchange for common stock in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, and the full repayment of the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and Term Loans (as defined below) from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 through the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, partially offset by the induced conversion expense of $21.2 million in connection with the 2025 Exchange of 2027 Notes and 2025 Exchange of 2028 Notes.

Current wording

Interest expense, including amortization and a write-off of deferred financing costs, decreased by $4.7 million to $1.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, compared to $6.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, primarily due to interest savings as a result of the full repayment of the Term Loans (as defined below) from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 through the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Previous wording

In the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, we recorded income tax expense of $20.8 million, compared to income tax expense of $11.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2025. The change in our tax provision for the nine months ended October 26, 2025, compared to the nine months ended October 27, 2024 was primarily due to a regional mix of income, changes in valuation allowance, non-deductibility of goodwill impairment, impact of GILTI and R&D credits. The effective tax rates in the first nine months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025 differ from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to a regional mix of income, changes in valuation allowance, non-deductibility of goodwill impairment, impact of GILTI and R&D credits.

Current wording

We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, compared to income tax expense of $8.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The change in our tax provision for the three months ended April 26, 2026, compared to the three months ended April 27, 2025 was primarily due to a regional mix of income, tax benefit of investment impairment losses and changes in valuation allowance. As a result of our recent performance, there is a reasonable possibility that a portion of our valuation allowance will no longer be needed in future periods. A release of the valuation allowance would likely result in a material tax benefit recognized in the quarter of the release.

Previous wording

We recorded income tax expense of $7.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to income tax expense of $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The change in our tax provision for the three months ended October 26, 2025, compared to the three months ended October 27, 2024 was primarily due to a regional mix of income and changes in valuation allowance. The effective tax rates in the third quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025 differ from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to regional mix of income, changes in valuation allowance, impact of global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") and research and development ("R&D") credits. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") requires R&D costs incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 to be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or fifteen years for tax purposes, depending on where the research activities are conducted. We have elected to treat GILTI as a period cost and the additional capitalization of R&D costs within GILTI increases our provision for income taxes. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the TCJA. The OBBBA permanently changes the limitation on the deduction of business interest expense, as well as makes permanent the immediate deduction for domestic R&D expenses. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended October 26, 2025. This legislation may be subject to further clarification and the issuance of interpretive guidance; however, we do not expect a material impact to our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2026 at this time.

Current wording

The effective tax rates in the first quarters of fiscal years 2027 and 2026 differ from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to regional mix of income, changes in valuation allowance, impact of global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") and research and development ("R&D") credits. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") requires R&D costs incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 to be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or fifteen years for tax purposes, depending on where the research activities are conducted.
