Current report
Total operating expenses were $68.8 million and $51.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $185.6 million and $153.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases in operating expenses for the three- and nine-month periods were primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense as a result of an award modification associated with the retirement of our former chief executive officer (refer to Note 6,Stock-Based Compensation, in our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details) as well as higher expenses for outside engineering services and legal services.
Current report
G&A expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2024. The increase for the three-month period was primarily due to increased professional and legal services partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense. In addition, we recognized a credit in the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the recovery of bad debt. The increase for the nine-month period was primarily due to increased professional and legal services and higher stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards.

Previous report
G&A expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2024 primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards, higher salaries and related expenses due to annual merit increases, and higher expenses for professional and legal services. These increases were partially offset by a credit recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the recovery of bad debt. As described in Note 16, Subsequent Events, in our Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we expect to record in the third quarter of 2025, net stock-based compensation expense of approximately $15 million related to equity awards modification as a result of our Chief Executive Officer transition.

payments. In the three months ended June 30, 2024, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, our effective tax rate was also favorably impacted by the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments andby discrete items associated with the release of unrecognized tax benefits. These benefits were partially offset by U.S. tax on foreign income, known as global intangible low-taxed income. The primary jurisdiction from which our foreign earnings are derived is the Cayman Islands, which is a non-taxing jurisdiction. Income earned in other foreign jurisdictions was not material. We have not been granted any incentivized tax rates and do not operate under any tax holidays in any jurisdiction.
Current wording
Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was (3.0%) and 10.5%, respectively, and in the corresponding periods of 2024 was 0.3% and 1.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate in these periods was lower than the statutory federal income-tax rate of 21% due to the geographic distribution of our world-wide earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions and the impact of federal tax credits. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, our effective tax rate was negatively impacted by the recognition of a tax deficiency or “shortfall” related to share-based payments. Additionally, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments andby discrete items associated with the release of unrecognized tax benefits. These benefits were partially offset by U.S. tax on foreign income, known as Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income (“NCTI”). The primary jurisdiction from which our foreign earnings are derived is the Cayman Islands, which is a non-taxing jurisdiction. Income earned in other foreign jurisdictions was not material. We have not been granted any incentivized tax rates and do not operate under any tax holidays in any jurisdiction.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes provisions modifying the corporate income tax code, including the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures for tax purposes, 100% bonus depreciation for qualified assets, and an increase in the statutory tax rate on foreign earnings from 10.5% to 12.6% (effective in the fiscal year 2026). We have elected to account Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income (“NCTI”), formerly known as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), under the deferred method. The deferred tax amounts recorded are based on the evaluation of temporary differences that are expected to reverse as NCTI is incurred in future periods. As a result, we will remeasure its deferred tax balances related to NCTI for the changes in the tax rate and will record an adjustment to this balance in the fiscal third quarter. We expect these modifications to result in an increase in our effective tax rate but are still evaluating the magnitude of the impact.

If our operating results deteriorate in future periods, either as a result of a decrease in customer demand or pricing pressures from our customers or our competitors, or for other reasons, our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations may be jeopardized. In that case, we may be forced to use our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, use our current financing or seek additional financing from third parties to fund our operations. We believe that cash generated from operations, together with existing sources of liquidity, will satisfy our projected working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our uses of cash beyond the next 12 months will depend on many factors, including the general economic environment in which we operate and our ability to generate cash flow from operations, which are uncertain but include funding our operations and additional capital expenditures.

Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was (1.8%) and 9.5%, respectively, and in the corresponding periods of 2024 was 5.8% and 3.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate in these periods was lower than the statutory federal income-tax rate of 21% due to the geographic distribution of our world-wide earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions and the impact of federal research tax credits. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our effective tax rate was negatively impacted by the recognition of a tax deficiency or “shortfall” related to share-based
