Macro-Economic Demand Factors: Our business segments each have their own unique set of demand factors. Our Advanced Computing business is driven by demand for our High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI products, as well as traditional workload optimization and efficiency applications. We expect increased AI adoption and broader implementation by enterprises within but not limited to verticals such as financial services, oil and gas, telecommunications, manufacturing and education, as well as increased sovereign AI adoption, as organizations seek scalable infrastructure solutions, though the extent and timing of such adoption and implementation may vary and may affect our results of operations. Demand in our Integrated Memory segment is driven by end-market demand from OEMs for customer-specific solutions in vertical markets such as industrial, government, networking, HPC and enterprise storage, as well as emerging demand for higher density and greater bandwidth solutions for AI deployments, and we anticipate growing demand for higher performance and reliability memory solutions, such as our CXL family of products, to support both traditional use cases and increasingly complex AI applications, although there can be no assurance that such demand will materialize as expected or at all. Finally, demand for our Optimized LED products is derived from targeted end-market applications, such as general high-power and mid-power lighting and specialty lighting, including video display and horticulture applications. However, broader macro-economic trends, including regional market demand and the global macro-economic environment, global conflicts impacting international relations, recessionary indicators, high inflation rates, uncertainty and costs associated with trade policies and tariffs, and interest rates, can adversely affect all three segments concurrently.

Shifts in the Mix and Timing of Our Revenue: Shifts in the mix of revenue from our operating segments, and in the timing of revenue, which can vary significantly from period to period, have impacted and can continue to impact our business and results of operations, including gross and operating margins. For example, our Advanced Computing segment has shown solid growth, but is subject to variability in its sales and margin profile from period to period due to factors such as the following: recognition of revenue sometimes being tied to customer decisions as to the completion of delivery and system go-live events; certain sales being affected by the timing of customer deployments and shipments or customer budget considerations; changes in customer spending on our products and services (including as a result of the macro-economic demand factors discussed above); the impact of customer churn rates (including discounting and churn of significant customers from whom we derive a significant

percentage of our revenue); discontinuation of certain of our products from time to time; shifts in our customer mix, including expected trends with respect to growth in demand from non-hyperscaler customers for HPC and AI solutions; and margin being driven by the proportion of higher margin software and managed services within our Advanced Computing sales. Our resource commitments and planning for each segment are relatively fixed in the short term, and as such, variability in expected revenue mix may have direct implications for our operating income and margins. Our Integrated Memory business has gross margins which are lower than the Company average and if revenue from this business grows faster than revenue for the Company overall, it may negatively impact total Company gross margins. Additionally, our revenue and margins will be negatively impacted by the winding down of our Penguin Edge business, which we expect to wind down and discontinue prior to the end of fiscal 2026. The comparability of our results of operations against prior periods will also be affected following the wind down of our Penguin Edge business.

customer churn rates (including discounting and churn of significant customers from whom we derive a significant percentage of our net sales); discontinuation of certain of our products from time to time; shifts in our customer mix, including expected trends with respect to growth in demand from non-hyperscaler customers for HPC and AI solutions; and margin being driven by the proportion of higher margin software and managed services within our Advanced Computing sales. In particular, our AI infrastructure business is transitioning from a hyperscaler concentration toward a more diversified non-hyperscaler customer base across enterprise, neocloud, and sovereign AI, which may negatively impact our net sales during the transition. Additionally, our net sales and margins will be negatively impacted by the winding down of our Penguin Edge business, which we expect to wind down and discontinue prior to the end of fiscal 2026. The comparability of our results of operations against prior periods will also be affected following the wind down of our Penguin Edge business.

Our Ability to Identify, Complete and Successfully Integrate Acquisitions: A substantial portion of our growth over the last several years has been driven by acquisitions, and we intend to continue to use corporate development as an engine for growth. Within our existing segments, we plan to pursue acquisitions to expand features and functionality, expand into adjacent businesses and grow our customer base and geographic footprint. From time to time, we may seek to expand our addressable market by entering new business segments where, as we did with our Cree LED and Stratus Technologies acquisitions, we identify a business opportunity at scale with a path to being accretive to our overall operations in the near term. If we are unable to identify and complete attractive acquisitions and successfully integrate such businesses, we may not be successful in growing our revenue and/or expanding our margins. Any acquisitions we do complete may require us to incur debt or raise capital through equity financings or may subject us to unforeseen liabilities or costs, or operational challenges, that in turn impede our ability to realize the expected returns on our investment.
