Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

NETGEAR, Inc. (“NETGEAR” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in January 1996. The Company is a global provider of networking technologies for businesses, homes, and service providers. The Company delivers a wide range of networking hardware, software, and services designed to enable reliable connectivity and security. Its connected solutions range from switching and wireless products that support audio and video (“AV”) over Ethernet for Pro AV applications and business networks to WiFi networking solutions, security and support services for enterprise and home networks. Additionally, the Company continually invests in research and development to create new technologies and services and to address technological trends such as AV over Ethernet, multi-Gigabit connectivity, WiFi 7, eSIM and future technologies. Its product line enables the creation and extension of wired and wireless networks and includes services that complement and enhance our hardware offerings. These products are available in multiple configurations to address the changing needs of our customers across geographic regions.

 

The Company sells networking products through multiple sales channels worldwide, including traditional retailers, online retailers, wholesale distributors, direct market resellers (“DMRs”), managed service providers (“MSPs”), broadband service providers and its direct online store at www.netgear.com.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NETGEAR, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. They have been prepared in accordance with established guidelines for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The balance sheet dated December 31, 2025, has been derived from audited financial statements at such date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes typically found in the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods indicated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).

The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1 of the year stated and ends on December 31 of the same year. The Company reports its results on a fiscal quarter basis rather than on a calendar quarter basis. Under the fiscal quarter basis, each of the first three fiscal quarters ends on the Sunday closest to the calendar quarter end, with the fourth quarter ending on December 31.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reported period. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and operating results for the three and six months ended June 28, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or any future period.

Segments

The Company has two reportable segments: Enterprise and Consumer. During 2025, the Company realigned its reportable segments twice. Effective the first quarter of 2025, the Company separated the former Connected Home segment into Home Networking and Mobile, resulting in three reportable segments during the first three fiscal quarters of 2025: NETGEAR for Business, Home Networking, and Mobile. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company combined Home Networking and Mobile into a single Consumer segment and renamed NETGEAR for Business as Enterprise, resulting in the current two reportable segments. These realignments did not affect previously reported consolidated net revenue, income

(loss) from operations, net income (loss) per share, total assets, or stockholders’ equity. Prior-period segment information has been recast to conform to the current presentation. Refer to Note 12, Segment Information for additional information.
