Second Quarter of 2026 Review

“Our shift from a consumer-focused NAND flash controller maker to a diversified leader in controllers and storage solutions — from AI infrastructure to the edge — is accelerating rapidly,” stated Wallace Kou, President & CEO of Silicon Motion. “The second quarter delivered exceptional growth in revenue, gross margin, and operating margin — powered by our Embedded eMMC & UFS business, our Enterprise and Edge SSD controller business, and our rapidly growing storage solutions business focusing on Ferri for Automotive & Enterprise Boot Drives. The first two quarters delivered a record-breaking start to the year, and we expect that momentum to continue into the second half. With our ongoing product and market expansion, we are building a resilient platform for sustainable, high-quality revenue and profitability growth for years to come.”

Returning Value to Shareholders

On October 27, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a $2.00 per ADS annual cash dividend to be paid in quarterly installments of $0.50 per ADS. On May 21, 2026, we paid $16.9 million to Silicon Motion shareholders as the third installment of the annual cash dividend. The fourth installment of our annual dividend is scheduled to be paid on August 20, 2026 to all Silicon Motion shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 6, 2026.

Business Outlook

“SIMO is drawing on its leading NAND controller technology and unmatched industry relationships to broaden its product portfolio and addressable markets from AI infrastructure to the edge. We’ve built this foundation over the past several years through investments in leading embedded eMMC and UFS products, our high-performance 6nm PCIe5 edge SSD controller portfolio, our new MonTitan enterprise/AI SSD PCIe5 and in-development PCIe6 controllers, and our rapidly expanding lineup of Ferri and Enterprise Boot Drive storage solutions. Today we are exceptionally well positioned across every AI market, including AI data center, AI server, edge AI, and physical AI.”

“Based on our current backlog and customer forecasts, we expect continued strong top-line growth through the rest of the year. Although many of our consumer businesses face real headwinds from current NAND pricing and supply, we have never been better positioned as a company. We are on track to deliver the highest annual revenue in our company’s history, growing more than 100% year-over-year, and we’re still in the early stages of bringing our new enterprise/AI infrastructure products into the mix,” stated Mr. Kou.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation and other items, including gross profit (non-GAAP), gross margin (non-GAAP), operating expenses (non-GAAP), operating profit (non-GAAP), operating margin (non-GAAP), non-operating income (expense) (non-GAAP), net income (non-GAAP), and earnings per diluted ADS (non-GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow the Company. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with our forecasts, and for benchmarking our performance externally against our competitors. Also, when evaluating potential acquisitions, we exclude the items described below from our consideration of the target’s performance and valuation. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing the results from management’s perspective in addition to seeing our GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

 

   

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results;

 

   

the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analysis;

 

   

a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business; and

 

   

an easier way to compare the Company’s operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of our competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

 

5


The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into our non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in our reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges related to the fair value of restricted stock units awarded to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these non-cash charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of share-based compensation on its operating results.

Dispute related expenses consist of legal, consultant, other fees and resolution related to the dispute.

Foreign exchange loss (gain) consists of remeasurement gains and/or losses of non-US$ denominated current assets and current liabilities, as well as certain other balance sheet items, which result from the appreciation or depreciation of non-US$ currencies against the US$. We do not use financial instruments to manage the impact on our operations from changes in foreign exchange rates, and because our operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we therefore exclude foreign exchange gains and losses when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

Realized/Unrealized loss (gain) on investments relates to the disposal and net change in fair value of long-term investments.
