Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Jul 28, 2026

• Contract and other revenue consists primarily of Silicon IP technology development projects related to our high-speed interface and security IP.
• We expect that revenue derived from international customers will continue to represent a significant portion of our total revenue in the future.
• As a result, we face difficulty in analyzing the extent to which our future revenue will be dependent upon particular system companies.
• We expect to continue to evaluate and potentially enter into strategic acquisitions or divestitures which will impact our business and operating results.
• We expect that royalties revenue will continue to vary from period to period based on our success in adding new customers, renewing or extending existing agreements, as well as the level of variation in our customers’ reported shipment volumes, sales price and product mix, offset in part by the proportion of customer payments that are fixed or hybrid in nature.
• We believe that contract and other revenue will fluctuate over time based on our ongoing technology development contractual requirements, the amount of work performed, the timing of completing engineering deliverables and the changes to work required, as well as new technology development contracts booked in the future.
• In the near term, we expect costs of product revenue to fluctuate due to changes in sales volume and product mix.
• In the near term, we expect costs of contract and other revenue to vary from period to period based on varying revenue recognized from contract and other revenue.
• We will continue to make investments in the infrastructure and technologies required to maintain our product innovation in semiconductor, security and other technologies.
• Consistent with our business model, our licensing, sales, and marketing activities aim to develop or strengthen relationships with potential new and current customers.
• We currently anticipate that existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances and cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.
• We do not anticipate any liquidity constraints as a result of either the current credit environment or investment fair value fluctuations.
