Previous wording

In the three months ended March 31, 2026, net revenue was $137.2 million, which was derived in part from sales of RF receivers and RF receiver SoC and connectivity solutions into broadband operator voice and data modems and gateways and connectivity adapters, global analog and digital RF receiver products, radio and modem solutions into wireless carrier access and backhaul infrastructure platforms, high-speed optical interconnect solutions sold into optical modules for data-center, metro and long-haul networks, and high-performance interface and power management solutions into a broad range of communications, industrial, automotive and multi-market applications. We have experienced growth in sales demand across our infrastructure, broadband, and industrial and multi-market end markets driven by new product wins and market growth along with a recovery from excess inventory in the channels. Geopolitical tensions and changing trade policies, including escalating tariffs between the United States and China, and other countries, continue to influence the semiconductor industry as well as the global economy. We continue to develop and innovate with new products for new solutions in advanced semiconductor process nodes such as 16nm and 5nm and beyond, while addressing opportunities capturing and processing high quality broadband communications and high-speed optical interconnect signals.

Products shipped to Asia accounted for 77% and 78% of net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, including 48% from products shipped to Hong Kong and 10% from products shipped to mainland China during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 49% from products shipped to Hong Kong and 11% from products shipped to Vietnam during three months ended March 31, 2025. Although a large percentage of our products is shipped to Asia, we believe that a significant number of the systems designed by these customers and incorporating our semiconductor products are then sold outside Asia. For example, revenue generated from sales of our products during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 related principally to sales to Asian ODMs and contract manufacturers delivering products into European and North American markets. To date, all of our sales have been denominated in United States dollars.

Research and development expense decreased $2.3 million to $53.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $55.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by decreases in stock-based compensation of $5.0 million, prototype expenses of $1.0 million, and payroll and benefits expense of $0.7 million, partially offset by the impact of a decrease in income from joint R&D projects and governmental grants of $2.5 million and an increase in bonus expense of $2.0 million. The decrease in stock-based compensation and payroll and benefits expense is due to lower headcount from workforce reductions. Stock-based compensation expense also decreased due to timing of expense pertaining to retention equity grants made to employees in late 2024. The decrease in prototype expenses is due to timing of projects. The amount of income from research and development funded by others varies from period to period depending on availability of such funding, including governmental grants. The increase in bonus expense is due to improved financial performance over the prior period.

Previous wording

Our subsidiary in Singapore operates under certain tax incentives in Singapore, which are effective through March 2027. Under these incentives, qualifying income derived from certain sales of our integrated circuits is taxed at a concessionary rate over the incentive period. We also receive a reduced withholding tax rate on certain intercompany royalty payments made by our Singapore subsidiary during the incentive period. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our Singapore deferred tax assets. Due to this Singapore valuation allowance position, no income tax provision was recorded in Singapore for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The incentives are conditional upon our meeting certain minimum employment and investment thresholds within Singapore over time, and we may be required to return certain tax benefits in the event we do not achieve compliance related to that incentive period. We currently believe that we will be able to satisfy these conditions without material risk.

Commencing on September 30, 2021, the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement was initially set to amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement, with the balance payable on the June 23, 2028 maturity date. We could be subject to substantial variable interest rate risk because our interest rate under term loans typically vary based on a fixed margin over an indexed rate or an adjusted base rate. If interest rates were to further increase substantially, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and could affect our ability to service the indebtedness. Please refer to the Risk Factor entitled “As of March 31, 2026, our aggregate indebtedness was $125.0 million, and we are subject to a variable amount of interest on the principal balance of our credit agreements and could be adversely impacted by high interest rates in the future. Such indebtedness adversely affects our operating results and cash-flows as we satisfy our underlying interest and principal payment obligations and contains financial and operational covenants that could adversely affect our operational freedom or ability to pursue strategic transactions that we would otherwise consider to be in the best interests of stockholders, including obtaining additional indebtedness to finance such transactions. In addition, high interest rates may make it more difficult for us, our customers, and our distributors to obtain financing and service our respective interest and debt obligations, which in turn has an impact on customer demand for our products and our distributors’ business” for a discussion of how our indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

Research and development expense increased $6.5 million to $109.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $102.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by increases in bonus expense of $4.4 million, and the impact of a decrease in income from joint R&D projects and governmental grants of $4.0 million. These increases were partially offset by the impact of a decrease in stock-based compensation of $2.1 million. The increase in bonus expense is due to improved financial performance over the prior period. The decrease in stock-based compensation related to timing of expense pertaining to equity retention grants made to employees in late 2024. The amount of income from research and development funded by others varies from period to period depending on availability of such funding, including governmental grants.
