Previous wording

Historically, a significant portion of our revenue has been derived from relatively few customers, due in part to customer consolidation. Sales to our top 10 customers in the three and six months ended July 3, 2026 accounted for approximately 89% and 87%, respectively, of our net revenue compared to 88% and 86% for the corresponding periods in 2025. Although we continue to seek to broaden our customer base by penetrating new markets and further expanding domestically and internationally, we expect to see continuing industry consolidation activity and customer concentration.

Current wording

Historically, a significant portion of our revenue has been derived from relatively few customers, due in part to customer consolidation. Sales to our top 10 customers in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026 accounted for approximately 91% and 89%, respectively, of our net revenue compared to 86% for both corresponding periods in 2025. Although we continue to seek to broaden our customer base by penetrating new markets and further expanding domestically and internationally, we expect to see continuing industry consolidation activity and customer concentration.

Previous wording

During the three months ended July 3, 2026, two of our customers accounted for approximately 45% and 18%, respectively, of our net revenue, compared to one customer accounted for approximately 54% of our net revenue during the three months ended June 27, 2025. During the six months ended July 3, 2026, two of our customers accounted for approximately 41% and 20%, respectively, of our net revenue, compared to two customers accounted for approximately 51% and 13%, respectively, of our net revenue during the six months ended June 27, 2025. Further consolidation among cable operators and telecommunication companies could lead to additional revenue concentration for us. The loss of any significant customer, or any material reduction in orders from any other significant customer, or our failure to qualify our new products with any significant customer could materially and adversely affect, either long term or in a particular quarter, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. If our significant customers deploy our solutions slower or at a scale that is lower than we anticipate, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Current wording

During the three months ended October 2, 2026, four of our customers accounted for approximately 37%, 16%, 11% and 11%, respectively, of our net revenue, compared to one customer that accounted for approximately 59% of our net revenue during the three months ended September 26, 2025. During the nine months ended October 2, 2026, two of our customers accounted for approximately 39% and 19%, respectively, of our net revenue, compared to one customer accounted for approximately 54% of our net revenue during the nine months ended September 26, 2025. Further consolidation among cable operators and telecommunication companies could lead to additional revenue concentration for us. The loss of any significant customer, or any material reduction in orders from any other significant customer, or our failure to qualify our new products with any significant customer could materially and adversely affect, either long term or in a particular quarter, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

Moreover, our products that use components may experience price fluctuations, shortages, or interruptions of supply. Geopolitical instability and the global use and evolution of AI has at times contributed to a reduction of components for our products, which may in turn increase costs, extend manufacturing lead times, and make it difficult for us to accurately project component demand and anticipate our needs. As AI-driven demand for chips and other components increases, the price of components may increase, or the components may not be available at all, and we may not be able to secure an adequate supply of components at reasonable prices or of acceptable quality to build and deliver products in a timely manner in the qualities needed. We may not be able to diversify our component parts in a timely manner, which could harm our ability to produce or timely deliver our products to customers, impacting future sales. As a result, we may lose sales and experience increased component costs, which in turn may cause our revenue and gross margins to suffer.

Previous wording

We outsource a portion of our research and development and product support activities to our third-party partner, GlobalLogic, a Hitachi group company. Through GlobalLogic, we have a significant number of engineering resources located in Kyiv, Ukraine. Political, social and economic instability and unrest or violence in Ukraine from the ongoing military conflict with the Russian Federation have caused, and may continue to cause, disruptions to the business and operations of GlobalLogic, which could slow or delay the development work our outsourced engineering teams are undertaking for us. From the outset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, our employees have been restricted from traveling to Ukraine and have directed and coordinated our outsourced engineering teams remotely. While we have not yet experienced any significant disruptions to our development work in Ukraine, any further escalation of military activity, political tensions, instability, unrest or conflict could disrupt or prevent the work of our outsourced engineering teams, or cause us to shift all or portions of the development work occurring in Ukraine, and/or cause GlobalLogic to relocate personnel to other locations or countries pursuant to its business continuity plans. Any resulting delays could negatively impact our product development efforts, operating results and our business. In addition, increased costs associated with managing or relocating our outsourced engineering teams in Ukraine, or engaging with alternative engineering resources outside of Ukraine, could negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.

Previous wording

As of July 3, 2026, we had 364 employees in our international operations, representing approximately 66% of our worldwide workforce. Our ability to manage our business effectively in the future, including with respect to any future growth, our operation as both a hardware and increasingly software and SaaS-centric business, the integration of any acquisition efforts, and the breadth of our international operations, will require us to train, motivate and manage our employees successfully, to attract and integrate new employees into our overall operations, to retain key employees and to continue to improve and evolve our operational, financial and management systems. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these efforts, and our failure to effectively manage our operations could have a material and adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Previous wording

We are monitoring and managing our cash position in light of ongoing market conditions due to general economic and market conditions, volatility and uncertainty in the banking and financial services sector, overall fluctuations in U.S. equity markets, the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, and related macroeconomic conditions. We believe that our existing cash of approximately $231.9 million as of July 3, 2026 will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need to raise additional funds to take advantage of presently unanticipated strategic opportunities, satisfy our other cash requirements from time to time, or strengthen our financial position. Our ability to raise funds may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including factors beyond our control, such as weakness in the economic conditions in markets in which we sell our products, bank failures and continued uncertainty in financial, capital and credit markets. There can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to us on reasonable terms, if at all, when and if it is needed.

Previous wording

Revenue derived from customers outside of the United States represented approximately 17% and 23% of our revenue for the six months ended July 3, 2026, and June 27, 2025, respectively. Although no assurance can be given with respect to international sales growth in any one or more regions, we expect that international revenue will likely continue to represent, from year to year, a portion of our revenue, and potentially increasing, percentage of our annual revenue for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the majority of our employees are based in our international offices and locations, and most of our contract manufacturing occurs outside of the United States. In addition, we outsource a portion of our research and development activities to certain third-party partners with development centers located in different countries, particularly Ukraine.
