Current report

The current constrained availability and pricing dynamics for certain memory components across the broader electronics supply chain have, at times, influenced the timing of orders for certain products, particularly for smaller customers. This condition did not have a material impact on our results for the quarter; however, given limited visibility into future availability and timing, as well as increased associated costs, they may affect customer development timelines, production schedules, booking patterns, and the timing or visibility of orders in future periods. We continue to monitor these conditions and their potential impact on customer demand and ordering behavior.

Current report

Net revenue was $595.0 million for the six months ended December 2025, compared with $524.9 million for the six months ended December 2024, an increase of $70.1 million, or 13.4%. Of this net revenue, $308.8 million, or 51.9%, was from Enterprise and Automotive product applications, $89.4 million, or 15.0%, was from Mobile product applications, and $196.8 million, or 33.1%, was from Core IoT product applications. Revenue increased in most of our product applications for the six months ended December 2025 compared with the six months ended December 2024. Net revenue from Core IoT product applications increased due to an increase in units sold (which increased 48.2%), and an increase in average selling prices (which increased 7.3%) due to our product sales mix compared to the same period a year ago, inclusive of the contribution from the the acquired business completed in fiscal 2025. Net revenue from Enterprise and Automotive product applications increased primarily due to higher license revenue from certain IP, partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices (which decreased 4.9%) due to our product sales mix while units shipped remained flat compared to the same period a year ago. Excluding the impact of this license revenue, net revenue for the six months ended December 2025 from Enterprise and Automotive product applications would have declined year-over-year. Net revenue from Mobile product applications decreased due to a decrease in average selling prices (which decreased 12.6%) and lower license revenue from certain of our IP, partially offset by an increase in units sold (which increased 17.6%). Excluding the impact of this lower license revenue, net revenue from Mobile product applications would have increased year-over-year.

Current report

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $5.5 million to $94.0 million for the six months ended December 2025, compared with $99.5 million for the six months ended December 2024. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily driven by a decrease of $4.2 million in professional service fees related to various corporate projects and costs related to refinancing our Term Loan B facility that we incurred during the six months ended December 2024, with no corresponding corporate projects during the six months ended December 2025.

Previous report

(Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. The (benefit) provision for income taxes recorded in interim periods is based on our estimate of the annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date (loss) income before (benefit) provision for income taxes, adjusted for discrete items required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. In each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. Our quarterly tax (benefit) provision for income taxes and our quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate can be subject to volatility due to several factors, including our ability to accurately forecast annual (loss) income before (benefit) provision for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

Previous wording

Net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $292.5 million and was 13.5% higher than net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This was primarily due to an increase in net revenue in our Core IoT product line, which increased 73.8% compared to the same period a year ago, primarily driven by an increase in units sold and an increase in average selling prices due to our product sales mix, inclusive of the contribution from the Broadcom transaction. Net revenue from our Enterprise and Automotive product line for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the same period a year ago remained flat and net revenue from our Mobile product category decreased by 18.4% primarily driven by a decrease in revenue from the licensing of certain of our IP.

Current wording

Previous wording

Gross margin for the three months ended September 2025 and September 2024 was 42.6% and 46.9%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from the licensing of certain of our IP and an increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets primarily from the developed technologies we acquired from Broadcom during fiscal 2025.

Current wording

Gross margin for the three months ended December 2025 and December 2024 was 43.5% and 45.7%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets primarily from the developed technologies we acquired from Broadcom during fiscal 2025, partially offset by an increase in revenue from the licensing of certain of our IP.

Previous wording

As of September 2025, our cash and cash equivalents of $459.9 million increased by $7.4 million compared to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $452.5 million as of June 2025.

Previous wording

As a majority of our sales and manufacturing occurs outside of the U.S., we are exposed to and impacted by global macroeconomic factors, U.S. and foreign government policies and foreign exchange fluctuations. We continue to monitor changes in international trade policies, particularly increased tariffs and other barriers or restrictions between the United States and other countries, including China. Our current operations suggest limited tariff exposure given our current import and export practices. However, some of our customers and suppliers may be impacted by evolving tariff regimes depending on their own supply chain strategies and sourcing locations. We continue to monitor for any potential customer and supplier impacts, ranging from supply chain realignments to changes in end demand. While the broader implications of these activities remain uncertain, based on our current lead times and order activity, we are not seeing unusual activity that would suggest material pull-in or push-out of orders due to tariffs that would be likely to impact our near-term financial performance. We will continue to assess the short- and long-term effects of these international trade policies and restrictions on our financial and operational performance.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, introduced Pillar Two Model Rules for a global minimum tax of 15% applicable to large multinational corporations. Many countries in which we have business operations, including the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Switzerland, and Japan, have implemented certain aspects of Pillar Two.

All forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment as of the date of this Report and are based on assumptions and several factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: macroeconomic uncertainties in the U.S. and globally, including those arising from trade tensions, tariffs, inflation, and market volatility, which may adversely affect customer demand for our products, purchasing behavior, and the timing of orders; variability in demand across our target end markets; constraints or imbalances in the availability of certain component parts, including the current industry-wide tightness in memory chips that are used in combination with our products, as well as associated cost increases (to us and our customers), which may affect customer development timelines, production schedules, purchasing behavior, booking patterns, and the timing or visibility of orders for our solutions; risks related to our continued dependence on our solutions for the Core IoT and Enterprise and Automotive product applications market for a substantial portion of our revenue; risks related to the volatility of our net revenue from our solutions for Core IoT and Enterprise and Automotive product applications, including competition from new or established IoT and wireless service companies or from those with greater resources; our dependence on and/or loss of one or more large customers for a substantial portion of our revenue, and the loss of commitments from, contracts with, or a significant reduction in orders from, one or more of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and operating results;and our exposure to industry downturns and cyclicality in our target markets.

The net 320 basis point decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue for the six months ended December 2025 was primarily due to the increase in amortization of acquisition-related intangibles on the intangible assets we acquired from Broadcom during fiscal 2025, partially offset by an increase in revenue from the licensing of certain of our IP.

Research and development expenses increased $24.9 million to $189.5 million for the six months ended December 2025, compared with $164.6 million for the six months ended December 2024.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income includes interest income earned on our invested cash balances and other miscellaneous income. Interest and other income of $3.6 million decreased by $4.4 million for the three months ended December 2025, compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily driven by an overall reduction in our invested cash balances following the early repayment of our Term Loan Facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and the cash paid for the Broadcom acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

Interest expense. Interest expense primarily includes interest expense on our debt, unused commitment fees on our revolving credit facility and amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense of $6.0 million for the three months ended December 2025, decreased by $6.3 million compared to the same period a year ago, which was primarily driven by the early repayment of our Term Loan Facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. During the three months ended December 2024, the interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs on the Term Loan facility was $7.5 million. The Term Loan Facility was repaid with the net proceeds received from the issuance of the 2031 Notes, which bear a significantly lower interest at a rate of 0.75%. See "Note 9. Debt" for additional information.
