MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc

Our business involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes in any of the risk factors described in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as noted below.

Changes in U.S. Government Administration Could Materially Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We operate in a highly regulated industry, and changes in the U.S. political landscape can significantly impact our business. The recent changes in the U.S. Government Administration may result in substantial modifications to laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those related to trade policies, tariffs, export controls and technology transfers. New executive orders and legislative actions could alter the business environment in which we operate.

The new administration may implement new policies or reverse existing ones, affecting our international trade relations. The imposition of new tariffs or trade barriers, particularly on the semiconductor industry, could increase the cost of our raw materials or affect our ability to sell products in international markets. Additionally, changes in U.S. foreign policy or trade agreements may impact our supply chain, manufacturing and distribution of our products. Furthermore, new regulations or changes to existing regulations could require us to modify our operations and incur additional expenses to comply with the new legal standards. These changes could disrupt our business operations and negatively impact our profitability.

Further, the new administration may reverse or modify the terms of the CHIPS Act and associated funding provisions and opportunities contained therein and resulting therefrom, potentially freezing or retracting the provision of government funding under the CHIPS Act and impacting our ability to execute our strategic investment plan and to negotiate and finalize a definitive agreement with and receive funding from the Federal and State governments.

In addition, any significant changes enacted by the current U.S. Government Administration to the Code or specifically to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Act”) enacted in 2017, or to regulatory guidance associated with the U.S. Tax Act, could materially adversely affect our effective tax rate.

Any such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are actively monitoring policy developments; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in mitigating the risks posed by changes in government policies and regulations.
