Management Commentary “Our fourth quarter and fiscal year results reflect strong sequential and year-over-year growth in our business,” said Kishore Seendripu , PhD, Chairman and CEO. “Our new products gained solid traction in the market, and we are on a strong path for sustained revenue growth and market share expansion in 2026 and 2027. We are executing against a focused strategy that is working and will drive sustained strong growth even as we continue to invest in high‑value, multi‑year growth markets where performance, power efficiency, and integration matter most. These include data center connectivity, wireless infrastructure, PON broadband access, Wi‑Fi 7, Ethernet, and storage accelerator end markets. With solid execution, we also delivered profitability and positive free cash flow ahead of our plan. During the fourth quarter, we repurchased $20 million of our common stock, reflecting our confidence in our sustained growth expectations and market momentum.” First Quarter 2026 Business Outlook The company expects net revenue in the first quarter of 2026 to be approximately $130 million to $140 million . The Company also estimates the following: GAAP gross margin of approximately 56.0% to 59.0%; Non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 58.0% to 61.0%; GAAP operating expenses of approximately $85 million to $90 million ; Non-GAAP operating expenses of approximately $58 million to $64 million ; GAAP interest and other expense of approximately $2.1 million to $2.7 million ; Non-GAAP interest and other expense of approximately $2.0 million to $2.6 million ; GAAP income tax provision of $4.0 million and non-GAAP income tax provision of $0.8 million , respectively; and Basic and diluted share count of approximately 88.0 million and 91.0 million, respectively.

All forward-looking statements are based on the estimates, projections and assumptions of management as of January 29, 2026 , and MaxLinear is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as percentage of revenue, non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes, non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), non-GAAP income tax provision, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, and non-GAAP diluted share count. These supplemental measures exclude the effects of (i) stock-based compensation expense; (ii) accruals related to our performance-based bonus plan for 2025, which we intend to settle in shares of our common stock; (iii) accruals related to our performance-based bonus plan for 2024, which we settled in shares of common stock in February 2025 ; (iv) amortization of purchased intangible assets; (v) research and development funded by others; (vi) acquisition and integration costs related to our acquisitions, if any, including costs incurred related to the termination of the previously pending (now terminated) merger with Silicon Motion ; (vii) impairment losses; (viii) severance and other restructuring charges; (ix) other non-recurring interest and other income (expenses), net, attributable to acquisitions; and (x) non-cash income tax benefits and expenses. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to limitations and should be read only in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our GAAP results of operations. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other one-time expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Among other uses, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s incentive compensation will be determined in part using these non-GAAP measures because we believe non-GAAP measures better reflect our core operating performance. The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures: Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity incentive awards granted to our employees, directors, and consultants. Our equity incentive plans are important components of our employee incentive compensation arrangements and are reflected as expenses in our GAAP results. Stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense for MaxLinear . While we include the dilutive impact of equity awards in weighted average shares outstanding, the expense associated with stock-based awards reflects a non-cash charge that we exclude from non-GAAP net income or loss. Performance-based equity consists of accruals related to our executive and non-executive bonus programs and have been excluded from our non-GAAP net income or loss for all periods reported. Bonus payments for the 2024 performance periods were settled through the issuance of shares of common stock under our equity incentive plans in February 2025 . We currently expect that a substantial portion of bonus awards under our fiscal 2025 program will be settled in common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Expenses incurred in relation to acquisitions include amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition and integration costs primarily consisting of professional and consulting fees, including costs incurred related to the termination of the previously pending (now terminated) merger with Silicon Motion . Research and development funded by others represents proceeds received under contracts for jointly funded R&D projects to develop technology that may be commercialized into a product in the future. Initially such proceeds may not yet be recognized in GAAP results if, pursuant to contract terms, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the funds provided by the other party under certain conditions. Management believes it is not probable that it will trigger such conditions. Once such conditions have been resolved, the proceeds are recognized in GAAP results, and accordingly, reversed from non-GAAP results. Restructuring charges incurred are related to our restructuring plans which eliminate redundancies and primarily include severance and restructuring costs related to impairment of leased right-of-use assets or from exiting certain facilities and cancellation of contracts. Other expense includes accretion of discounts on obligations recorded as a result of abandoned leased facilities for which we continue to be obligated to pay but from which we will receive no future benefit. Income tax benefits and expense adjustments are those that do not affect cash income taxes payable. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures for the historic periods disclosed in this press release appear below. Because of the inherent uncertainty associated with our ability to project future charges, we are also unable to predict their probable significance, particularly related to stock-based compensation and its related tax effects as well as potential impairments, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and accordingly, in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not provided a reconciliation for non-GAAP guidance provided for the first quarter 2026.
