Total Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was impacted by the factors described in the section titled “Industry Conditions—Memory and Storage Demand” above.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2026 increased 74% as compared to the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to increases in sales of both DRAM and NAND products.
Sales of DRAM products increased 67%, primarily due to a low-60% range increase in average selling prices and a low-single-digit percentage range increase in bit shipments.
Sales of NAND products increased 99%, primarily due to a mid-80% range increase in average selling prices and a mid-single-digit percentage range increase in bit shipments.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2026 increased 346% as compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in sales of both DRAM and NAND products.
Sales of DRAM products increased 343%, primarily due to a low-260% range increase in average selling prices and a low-20% range increase in bit shipments.
Sales of NAND products increased 361%, primarily due to a mid-310% increase in average selling prices and a low-double-digit increase in bit shipments.
Total revenue for the first nine months of 2026 increased 203% as compared to the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to increases in sales of both DRAM and NAND products.
Sales of DRAM products increased 211%, primarily due to an approximate 140% increase in average selling prices and an approximate 30% increase in bit shipments.
Sales of NAND products increased 183%, primarily due to an approximate 130% increase in average selling prices and a low-20% range increase in bit shipments.
Consolidated Gross Margin: Our consolidated gross margin has been impacted by the factors described in the section titled “Industry Conditions—Memory and Storage Demand.” Our consolidated gross margin percentage increased to 85% for the third quarter of 2026 from 74% for the second quarter of 2026 as a result of improvements in margins for both DRAM and NAND products. Margins improved primarily due to increases in average selling prices and also benefited from continued strong execution and favorable mix.
Our consolidated gross margin percentage improved to 85% for the third quarter of 2026 from 38% for the third quarter of 2025 and improved to 77% for the first nine months of 2026 from 38% for the first nine months of 2025. Improvements in our consolidated gross margins for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 as compared to corresponding periods of 2025 were due to improvements in margins for both DRAM and NAND products. Margins improved, primarily due to increases in average selling prices and, to a lesser extent, favorable mix and manufacturing cost reductions.

Operating Expenses and Other
Research and Development: R&D expenses vary primarily with the number of development and pre-qualification wafers processed and end-product solutions developed, personnel costs, and the cost of advanced equipment dedicated to new product and process development. Because of the lead times necessary to manufacture our products, we typically begin to process wafers before completion of performance and reliability testing. Development of a product is deemed complete when it is qualified through internal reviews and tests for performance, functionality, and reliability. R&D expenses can vary significantly depending on the timing of product qualification and product specifications.
R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2026 increased 5% as compared to the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to increases in employee compensation. R&D expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 both increased 36%, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to higher volumes of development and pre-qualification wafers, as we ramp R&D investments in support of long-term opportunities in memory and storage, and increases in employee compensation.
Selling, General, and Administrative: SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2026 increased 18% as compared to the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to increases in employee compensation. SG&A expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 increased 28% and 22%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to increases in employee compensation.
Interest Income (Expense), Net: Interest income (expense) improved in the third quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2026 and for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense due to lower debt balances and an increase in interest income due to higher cash and investments balances.
Income Taxes: Our income tax (provision) benefit consisted of the following:
| Third Quarter · Second Quarter · Third Quarter · Nine Months Ended | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Income before taxes | $33,212 | $16,160 | $2,113 | $55,433 | $6,023 |
| Income tax (provision) benefit | (4,978) | (2,371) | (235) | (8,178) | (695) |
| Effective tax rate | 15.0% | 14.7% | 11.1% | 14.8% | 11.5% |
The change in our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to changes in profitability, which reduced the relative impact of discrete tax benefits. The change in our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2025, was primarily due to the 15% minimum tax Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”). Singapore enacted legislation to implement Pillar Two, effective for us in 2026, which largely offsets the benefit from our Singapore tax incentive arrangements.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing broad changes to the U.S. tax code, including modifications to corporate and international tax provisions, which primarily are effective for us beginning in 2026 and 2027. The aggregate impact of the OBBBA remains uncertain. We will continue to monitor future developments, including regulatory guidance and interpretations, which could have a material impact on our income tax provision. Further changes in the tax laws of foreign jurisdictions could arise as a result of the base erosion and profit-shifting project, including Pillar Two, undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. We continue to monitor for additional guidance and legislative changes related to Pillar Two in the jurisdictions where we operate.
Various tax reforms are being considered in multiple jurisdictions that, if enacted, contain provisions that could materially impact our tax expense. We continue to monitor the potential impact of these various tax reform proposals to our overall global effective tax rate and financial statements.
