Current report

On February 2, 2026, we completed the acquisition of Celestial AI, Inc., a provider of a Photonic Fabric TM technology platform purpose-built for next-generation scale-up interconnect. The acquisition of Celestial is expected to accelerate our connectivity strategy for next-generation AI and cloud data centers.

Current report

On February 10, 2026, we completed the acquisition of XConn Technologies Holdings, Ltd., a provider of advanced PCIe and CXL switching silicon. The acquisition of XConn expands our switching portfolio and augments our UALink TM scale-up switch team.

Current report

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results of Celestial and XConn for the period from the dates of acquisition through our first quarter ended May 2, 2026. See “Note 4 – Business Combinations” and “Note 5 – Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Current report

During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Marvell and NVIDIA Corporation (“NVIDIA”) announced a strategic partnership to connect our custom XPUs and compatible scale-up networking with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure ecosystem. On March 31, 2026, we completed the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to NVIDIA for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 billion. See “Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Current report

In addition, certain jurisdictions in which we operate have enacted alternative incentive programs, which operate within the Pillar Two tax framework. We have entered into agreements with governmental agencies to secure such incentives and we record the benefit associated with these incentives as earned when there is reasonable assurance that we will meet the conditions of the incentive agreements and that the incentives will ultimately be received.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $72.0 million in the three months ended May 2, 2026 compared to the three months ended May 3, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher acquisition related costs of $42.6 million, as well as an increase in employee compensation and related costs, primarily driven by increased headcount including the addition of new employees from our recent acquisitions.

Current report

Interest and other loss, net increased by $201.4 million in the three months ended May 2, 2026 compared to the three months ended May 3, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $331.8 million increase in fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the Celestial acquisition, partially offset by an unrealized gain of $81.1 million from the forward stock purchase contract and higher net unrealized gains from equity investments in the three months ended May 2, 2026.

Current report

Our income tax expense for the three months ended May 2, 2026 was $48.8 million compared to a tax expense of $38.0 million for the three months ended May 3, 2025. These amounts differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a substantial portion of earnings or losses being taxed or benefited at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, net of the impact of U.S. taxation of foreign operations, benefits from tax credits, valuation allowance releases, and discrete tax benefits and expenses for excess deductions and deficiencies on stock-based compensation. Income tax expense for the three months ended May 2, 2026 also differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due to non-deductible adjustments to contingent consideration liability, net of the tax impacts of our forward stock purchase contract. The recorded tax expense is based on year-to-date pre-tax results, forecasted pre-tax results, forecasted annual tax expense and discrete adjustments for the respective periods.

Current report

We are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The outcome of these audits cannot be predicted with certainty. Management regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. If any issues addressed in our tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

Current report

During the fiscal quarter ended May 2, 2026, we completed the acquisitions of Celestial and XConn in which we paid cash, net of cash acquired and holdback amounts, of $1.0 billion, and $270.2 million, respectively and also issued a total of 26.8 million shares of our common stock. For the Celestial acquisition, contingent on the achievement of specified revenue milestones, we may be required to pay additional cash and issue additional shares of our common stock through fiscal 2029. See “Note 4 – Business Combinations” and “Note 5 – Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Current report

On March 31, 2026, we completed the issuance and sale of 2.0 million shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to NVIDIA for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 billion in cash. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are initially convertible in the aggregate into a maximum of approximately 21.8 million shares of our common stock. See “Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Previous report

On August 14, 2025, we completed the sale of our automotive ethernet business to Infineon Technologies AG for $2.5 billion in cash. During the three months ended November 1, 2025, we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $1.8 billion, which is included in interest income and other, net in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Previous report

Subsequent to quarter end, on December 2, 2025, we announced our intent to acquire Celestial AI Inc. (“Celestial”), a provider of a photonic fabric platform purpose-built for next-generation scale-up interconnect. We will issue Celestial shareholders a mix of cash and shares of our common stock to be determined. This represents approximately $3.25 billion in transaction value upon acquisition close and may increase up to a total of approximately $5.5 billion in transaction value depending on the achievement of earn-out milestones after acquisition close. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of calendar 2026, subject to regulatory approval as well as other customary closing conditions.

Previous report

On May 1, 2025, we received notification that our application for government incentives in a foreign jurisdiction in which we operate had been approved by the necessary government agencies. For the duration of the incentive period from February 2, 2025, through February 1, 2030, qualifying expenditures and certain qualifying purchases will result in the generation of credits that will reduce qualifying cost of sales and operating expenses by the incentives earned, and the credits may be used to offset income taxes payable or be refunded in cash. We believe there is reasonable assurance that we will meet the conditions of the incentive agreement and that the credits will ultimately be received and thus have recognized benefits associated with qualifying expenditures incurred in the current fiscal year.

Previous report

Our net revenue for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 increased by $2.0 billion, or 51%, compared to net revenue for the nine months ended November 2, 2024. This was primarily due to a 59% increase in sales from the data center end market which benefited from strong AI related demand. Sales from the carrier infrastructure end market and the enterprise networking end market also increased by 88% and 34%, respectively, which have both continued to recover due to normalizing customer inventory levels and strong adoption of our products. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales from the automotive/industrial end market by 21%, primarily due to the divestiture of our automotive ethernet business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Previous report

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $15.4 million and $33.4 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024. The decreases were primarily due to lower amortization expense for acquired intangible assets.

Previous report

Interest and other income (loss), net increased by $1.9 billion in the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024. The increases were primarily due to the $1.8 billion gain on sale of our automotive ethernet business in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The increases were also driven by higher net gains recognized from equity investments, as well as higher interest income.

Previous report

Our income tax expense for the three months ended November 1, 2025 was $314.1 million compared to a tax benefit of $74.2 million for the three months ended November 2, 2024. The increase in the provision for income taxes for three months ended November 1, 2025 as compared to the three months ended November 2, 2024, was driven by an increase in earnings, resulting primarily from the sale of our automotive ethernet business, in the current period against losses in the November 2, 2024 period. The recorded tax expense is based on year-to-date pretax results, forecasted pretax results, forecasted annual tax expense and discrete adjustments for the respective periods.

Previous report

Our income tax expense for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 was $391.0 million compared to a tax benefit of $9.3 million for the nine months ended November 2, 2024. The increase in the provision for income taxes for nine months ended November 1, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended November 2, 2024, was driven by an increase in earnings, resulting primarily from the sale of our automotive ethernet business, in the current period against losses in the November 2, 2024 period. The recorded tax expense is based on year-to-date pretax results, forecasted pretax results, forecasted annual tax expense and discrete adjustments for the respective periods.

Previous report

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we repaid $32.8 million of the principal outstanding of the 5-Year Tranche Loan. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the 5-Year Tranche Loan, due on April 20, 2026, which had a remaining principal of $557.8 million, was repaid in full.

Previous report

On August 14, 2025, we completed the sale of our automotive ethernet business to Infineon Technologies AG for $2.5 billion in cash. During the three months ended November 1, 2025, we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $1.8 billion, which is included in interest income and other, net in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Previous report

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 was $1.2 billion. We had a net loss of $1.1 billion adjusted for the following non-cash items: amortization of acquired intangible assets of $805.5 million, restructuring related impairment charges of $524.1 million, stock-based compensation expense of $449.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $225.5 million, deferred income tax benefit of $106.2 million, and $42.1 million of net loss from other non-cash items. Cash inflow from working capital of $311.6 million for the nine months ended November 2, 2024 was primarily driven by decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts receivable, and increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets was primarily driven by a decrease in prepaid ship and debits due to lower inventory balances at distributors as a result of increased sell through, and a decrease in prepaid corporate income tax, partially offset by payments on supply capacity reservation agreements, net of refunds. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to higher factored receivables and higher distribution sales reserves. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to payment timing management. The decrease in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities was primarily driven by lower ship and debit claims accrual due to lower inventory balances at distributors as a result of increased sell through, payments of accruals, partially offset by increases in restructuring accruals.

Previous wording

Net revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $2.1 billion and was 37% higher than net revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. This was due to increases in sales from the data center end market by 38%, from the enterprise networking end market by 57%, from the carrier infrastructure end market by 98%, and from the consumer end market by 21%. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales from the automotive/industrial end market by 58%, primarily due to the divestiture of our automotive ethernet business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Current wording

Net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $2.4 billion and was 28% higher than net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. This was due to increases in sales from the data center end market by 27%, and from the communications and other end market by 29%. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales from our automotive ethernet product portfolio due to the divestiture of our automotive ethernet business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Previous wording

Strong revenue growth from our data center market driven by AI related demand for our custom products and electro-optics portfolio. Additionally, following a period of inventory correction, we have continued to see revenue recovery in our carrier infrastructure and enterprise networking end markets, with both end markets growing significantly compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

Current wording

Strong revenue growth from our data center market was driven by AI-related demand for a broad range of our products, including electro-optics, custom, storage, and switching. We have continued to see revenue recovery in our communications and other end market driven by normalizing customer inventory levels.

Government Incentives and Grants. We continue to benefit from lower income tax rates in certain jurisdictions through statutory elections or agreements with governmental agencies, which may include a commitment to maintain, or increase, headcount and business investment levels in those jurisdictions. The tax benefits associated with these reduced income tax rates are recorded through our income tax provision for the periods in which such incentive tax rates are effective. However, changes in international taxation, notably the enactment by numerous countries of minimum tax legislation modeled after the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Pillar Two tax framework, could significantly reduce the income tax benefit associated with these tax incentives. In addition, certain jurisdictions in which we operate are pursuing alternative incentive programs, which operate within the Pillar Two tax framework.

Capital Return Program. We remain committed to delivering stockholder value through our stock repurchase and dividend programs. Under the program authorized by our Board of Directors, we may repurchase shares of our common stock in the open-market or through privately negotiated transactions. On September 24, 2025, we executed an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”) with a counterparty financial institution to repurchase shares of our common stock in exchange for an upfront payment of $1.0 billion. See “Note 12 – Supplemental Financial Information” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The extent to which we repurchase our stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon market conditions, legal rules and regulations, and other corporate considerations, as determined by our management team. During the nine months ended November 1, 2025, we repurchased 23.3 million shares of our common stock for $1.8 billion. As of November 1, 2025, $5.7 billion remained available for future stock repurchases.

Previous wording

Most of our sales are made to customers with operations located outside of the United States, primarily in Asia, and a majority of our products are manufactured outside the United States. Sales shipped to customers with operations in Asia represented approximately 77% and 76% of our net revenue in the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025, respectively, and approximately 74% and 75% of our net revenue in the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024, respectively. Because many manufacturers and manufacturing subcontractors of our customers are located in Asia, we expect that most of our net revenue will continue to be represented by sales to our customers in that region. For risks related to our global operations, see Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” including but not limited to the risk detailed under the caption“We face additional risks due to the extent of our global operations since a majority of our products, and those of many of our customers, are manufactured and sold outside of the United States.

Previous wording

Our net revenue for the three months ended November 1, 2025 increased by $558.4 million, or 37%, compared to net revenue for the three months ended November 2, 2024. This was primarily due to a 38% increase in sales from the data center end market which benefited from strong AI related demand. Sales from the enterprise networking end market and the carrier infrastructure end market also increased by 57% and 98%, respectively, which have both continued to recover due to normalizing customer inventory levels and strong adoption of our products. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales from the automotive/industrial end market by 58%, primarily due to the divestiture of our automotive ethernet business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Our net revenue for the three months ended May 2, 2026 increased by $522.5 million, or 28%, compared to net revenue for the three months ended May 3, 2025. This was primarily due to a 27% increase in sales from the data center end market which benefited from strong AI-related demand. Sales from the communications and other end market also increased by 29%, which has continued to recover due to normalizing customer inventory levels, partially offset by a decrease in sales from our automotive ethernet product portfolio due to the divestiture of our automotive ethernet business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Previous wording

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenue decreased for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024, which was primarily due to impairment charges of $356.8 million for acquired intangible assets, inventories, property and equipment, and other non-current assets associated with restructuring actions during the quarter ended November 2, 2024. The decreases in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenue were also due to better cost absorption driven by higher revenues, partially offset by a shift in product mix. As a result, gross margin for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 increased by 28.6 and 13.7 percentage points, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024. See “Note 7 – Restructuring” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Previous wording

Research and development expense increased by $23.9 million and $87.8 million, respectively, in the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended November 2, 2024. The increases were primarily due to higher overall spending to support our R&D initiatives, including $15.8 million and $26.8 million, respectively, of higher engineering design related costs driven by impairment charges for property and equipment.

Current wording

Research and development expense increased by $144.6 million in the three months ended May 2, 2026 compared to the three months ended May 3, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher overall spending to support our R&D initiatives, including increased employee compensation and related costs, primarily driven by growth in headcount including the addition of new employees from our recent acquisitions. The increase is also due to higher acquisition related costs of $22.3 million.

Previous wording

We recognized net restructuring related charges of $9.6 million and $6.0 million in the three and nine months ended November 1, 2025 as we continued to evaluate our existing operations to increase operational efficiency, decrease costs and increase profitability. See “Note 7 – Restructuring” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Current wording

Our provision for incomes taxes may be affected by changes in the geographic mix of earnings with different applicable tax rates, acquisitions or divestitures, changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets, accruals related to contingent tax liabilities and period-to-period changes in such accruals, the results of income tax audits, the expiration of statutes of limitations, the implementation of tax planning strategies, tax rulings, court decisions, settlements with tax authorities and changes in tax laws and regulations. It is also possible that significant negative evidence may become available that causes us to conclude that a valuation allowance is needed on certain of our deferred tax assets, which would adversely affect our income tax provision in the period of such change in judgment.

We are subject to legislation based on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 15% global minimum tax regime which applies to the majority of countries in which we operate. As a result of this legislation, our foreign earnings are generally subject to a minimum tax rate of 15%. On June 28, 2025, the G7 released a joint statement that it had reached an understanding with the U.S. on a side-by-side system that would exempt U.S. parented multinational businesses from certain provisions of Pillar Two; however, no agreement regarding implementation of the proposal has yet been reached. The effects of any future legislation in this area are not yet reasonably estimable, but if such legislation is enacted in the future, could have a significant effect on our provision for income taxes, our financial results, and our earnings and cash flows.

Current wording

We are subject to legislation based on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 15% global minimum tax regime which applies to the majority of countries in which we operate. As a result of this legislation, our foreign earnings are generally subject to a minimum tax rate of 15%. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released a comprehensive package of administrative guidance, including the “side-by-side system” that exempts U.S. parented multinational businesses from certain provisions of Pillar Two, specifically the Income Inclusion Rule and the Undertaxed Profits Rule. The OECD guidance provides that the side-by-side system will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. In certain jurisdictions, local legislative action is needed to effectuate “side by side system” and cannot be considered in our accounting estimate until enactment. The effects of any future legislation in this area are not yet reasonably estimable, but if such legislation is enacted in the future could have a significant effect on our provision for income taxes, our financial results, and our earnings and cash flows.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 was $1.4 billion. We had a net income of $2.3 billion adjusted for the following non-cash items: gain on sale of our automotive ethernet business of $1.8 billion, amortization of acquired intangible assets of $718.4 million, stock-based compensation expense of $447.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $255.2 million, restructuring related gains of $14.0 million, deferred income tax benefit of $2.2 million, and $85.1 million of net loss from other non-cash items. Cash outflow from working capital of $557.1 million for the nine months ended November 1, 2025 was primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses and other assets, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued employee compensation, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to higher sales and the impact of decreased factoring of receivables. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets was primarily driven by higher prepaid ship and debits due to higher inventory balances at distributors, and from receivables for government incentives earned. The decrease in accounts payable was due to the timing of payments. The decrease in accrued employee compensation was due to timing of bonus payout of our annual employee bonus plan. The increase in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in income tax payable mainly from taxes on gain from sale of business, and higher ship and debit claims accrual.

Current wording

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended May 2, 2026 was $638.8 million.

Cash outflow from working capital of $211.6 million for the three months ended May 2, 2026 was primarily driven by decreases in accounts payable, accrued employee compensation, and accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of payments. The decrease in accrued employee compensation was primarily due to bonus payout of our annual employee bonus plan. The decrease in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities was primarily driven by decreases in income tax payable and stock rotation accruals, partially offset by higher ship and debit claims accrual. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to increased factoring of receivables and more ratable billings and collections during the quarter.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended May 3, 2025 was $332.9 million. We had a net income of $177.9 million adjusted for the following non-cash items: amortization of acquired intangible assets of $245.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $142.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $84.2 million, restructuring related gains of $14.0 million, deferred income tax benefit of $4.3 million, and $44.1 million of net loss from other non-cash items. Cash outflow from working capital of $342.8 million for the three months ended May 3, 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in accrued employee compensation, and increases in accounts receivable and inventories. The decrease in accrued employee compensation was due to bonus payout of our annual employee bonus plan. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to higher sales and lower distribution sales reserves, partially offset by higher factored receivables. Inventories grew sequentially in support of expected revenue growth.
