SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “would,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “goal,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “probable of achievement,” or “continue,” the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance, time frames or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, time frames or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risks described under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026, and in other parts of this Quarterly Report as well as in our other filings with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this filing. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, of Super Micro Computer, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated entities (collectively, the “Company”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures including notes required by U.S. GAAP.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending June 30, 2026.
Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenues from the sale of server and storage systems, subsystems, accessories and services.
Product sales. We recognize revenue from sales of products as control is transferred to customers, which generally happens at the point of shipment or upon delivery, unless customer acceptance is required. Determining the point in time that control transfers to the customer requires judgment. Products sold by us are shipped from our facilities or drop shipped from our vendors. We may use distributors or channel partners to sell products to end customers. Revenue from distributors is recognized when the distributor obtains control of the product, which generally happens at the point of shipment or upon delivery.
We apply judgment in determining the transaction price as our contracts may include forms of variable consideration, including customer rebates, returns, and cash discounts for prompt payment. Variable consideration is estimated using either the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are reassessed each reporting period and recorded as an adjustment to revenue, as applicable.
Services sales. Our sale of services mainly consists of extended warranty and on-site services as well as system rack installation and integration services. Revenue related to extended warranty commences upon the expiration of the standard warranty period and is recognized ratably over the contractual period as we stand ready to perform any required warranty service. Revenue related to on-site services commences upon recognition of the product sale and is recognized ratably over the contractual period as the on-site services are made available to the customer. These service contracts are typically one to five years in length. Revenue related to system rack installation and integration services is recognized when we perform the services and the customer receives and consumes the benefits.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Contracts with multiple promised goods and services. Certain of our contracts contain multiple promised goods and services. We assess whether each promised good or service is distinct for the purpose of identifying the performance obligations in the contract. This assessment requires management to make judgments about the individual promised goods or services and whether such goods or services are separable from the other aspects of the contractual relationship. Performance obligations in a contract are identified based on the promised goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods and services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price for each customer contract to each performance obligation based on the relative Stand-alone Selling Price ("SSP") for each performance obligation within each contract. We recognize the amount of transaction price allocated to each performance obligation within a customer contract as revenue at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the promised good or service to a customer. Determining the relative SSP for contracts that contain multiple performance obligations requires significant judgment. We determine SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, we apply judgment to estimate the SSP. For all performance obligations, we are able to establish the SSP by maximizing the use of observable inputs. We typically establish an SSP range for our products and services, which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. SSP for our products and services can evolve over time due to changes in our pricing practices, internally approved pricing guidelines with respect to geographies, customer type, internal costs, and gross margin objectives for the related performance obligations which can also be influenced by intense competition, changes in demand for our products and services, economic and other factors.
Our credit terms are predominantly short-term in nature; however, we also grant extended payment terms for certain customers. For the contracts with the extended payment terms in which the financing component is determined to be significant to the contract, the contract transaction price is adjusted for the effect of a financing component.
When we receive consideration from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer, we record a contract liability (deferred revenue). We also recognize deferred revenue when we have an unconditional right to consideration (i.e., a receivable) before transfer of control of goods or services to a customer.
Shipping and handling fees collected from customers are included in net sales when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost rather than as an additional promised service. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on our revenue producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.
For our other significant accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with high-quality financial institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management.

(Unaudited)
We believe that the concentration of credit risk in our trade receivables is substantially mitigated by our credit evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and the high level of credit worthiness of our customers. For customers including distributors and direct customers, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of their financial conditions and limit the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary based upon payment history and their current credit worthiness, but we generally require no collateral other than the products that we deliver to them, in which we sometimes hold a purchase money security interest under our standard terms. We regularly review the allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, reasonable and supportable forecasts, age of the accounts receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-02 which removes references to the FASB’s concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The ASU is part of the FASB’s standing project to make “Codification updates for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance, and other minor improvements.” The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We adopted ASU 2024-02 on July 1, 2025, which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The ASU is effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. We are currently assessing the effect of the adoption of this standard on our disclosures that will be included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement, but it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which was issued to clarify the initial effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31 (referred to as non-calendar year-end entities). The update clarified that ASU 2024-03 shall be effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2027. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosures.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which revises current guidance for determining the accounting acquirer for a transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. The amendments require that an entity consider the same factors that are currently required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2027. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides all entities with a practical expedient and entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when applying the guidance in Topic 326, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses, to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which expands the population of acquired financial assets subject to the gross-up approach in Topic 326. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2027. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-scope Improvements. This update makes targeted, narrow-scope improvements to the interim reporting guidance in Topic 270 to clarify application and improve consistency in practice. The amendments do not change the underlying principles of interim reporting. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods beginning in our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2028. We are currently evaluating the effects of ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which includes 33 technical corrections, clarifications, and minor refinements across multiple ASC Topics intended to improve consistency and usability of U.S. GAAP. Transition is applied on an issue-by-issue basis: the EPS clarification (ASC 260, Issue 4) is applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented, while all other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, with appropriate disclosures about the nature/reason for the change (and additional disclosures if applied retrospectively). The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2027. We are currently evaluating the effects of ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. The accounting policies of our consolidated segment are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Disaggregation of Revenue
Total revenue recognized from all services and software for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $140.5 million and $71.8 million, respectively. Of this, revenue related to services recognized on an over time basis during the contract term was $104.4 million and $57.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Total revenue recognized from all service and software for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $368.5 million and $244.5 million, respectively. Of this, revenue related to services recognized on an over time basis during the contract term was $280.4 million and $161.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

^The customer references of A-D above may represent different customers than those reported in a previous period.
Contract Balances
Generally, the payment terms of our offerings range from 30 to 60 days, however occasionally we might offer longer payment terms to certain customers. In certain instances, customers may prepay for products and services in advance of delivery. Receivables represent our unconditional right to consideration for performance obligations that are either partially or fully completed.
Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we have transferred to a customer when such right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Such contract assets have not been material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and relate to amounts invoiced to or advance consideration received from customers, which precede our satisfaction of the associated performance obligations. Our deferred revenue primarily results from customer payments received upfront for extended warranties and on-site services because these performance obligations are satisfied over time. Additionally, at times, deferred revenue may fluctuate due to the timing of non-refundable advance consideration received from non-cancelable contracts relating to the sale of future products. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, which was included in the opening deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2025 of $731.4 million, was $57.0 million and $302.8 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, which was included in the opening deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2024 of $416.4 million, was $38.5 million and $154.0 million, respectively.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent in aggregate the amount of transaction price that has been allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or only partially delivered, as of the end of the reporting period. We apply the exemption to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. The remaining performance obligations excluded from this disclosure primarily relate to short-term backlog contracts expected to be fulfilled within one year, including on-site services, integration services, extended warranty services, and for product where control has not been transferred. The value of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $2,135.6 million. We expect to recognize approximately 69 % of such value in the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.
Note 3. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
We classify our financial instruments, except for our investment in an auction rate security and other investments in privately held companies, within Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted prices in active markets or alternative pricing sources and models using market observable inputs to determine their fair value.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, investment in an auction rate security, and marketable securities, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are carried at fair value.
The following table sets forth our financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. These are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands):

(2) The fair value of our auction rate security was immaterial as of March 31, 2026.
The investment in marketable equity security is carried at fair value using values available on a public exchange, is based on a Level 1 input, and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The unrealized gains and losses of the investment are included in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, an unrealized loss of $0.5 million and an unrealized gain of $8.5 million, respectively, were recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, an unrealized loss of $1.3 million and an unrealized loss of $0.2 million, respectively, were recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On a quarterly basis, we also evaluate the current expected credit loss by considering factors such as historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, current economic conditions, and reasonable economic forecasts that affect collectability. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the credit losses related to our investments were not
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 financial instruments during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. We estimate the fair value of outstanding debt, including our 3.50 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (“2029 Convertible Notes”), 2.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (“2028 Convertible Notes”), and 0.00 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (“2030 Convertible Notes”), for disclosure purposes on a recurring basis. Non-current accounts receivable, included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are carried at amortized cost, and bear interest at rates that approximate current market rates for similar credit. We believe the carrying amounts approximate fair value because there have been no significant changes in market rates or credit risk.

As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, our total lines of credit and term loans of $4,113.7 million and $112.5 million, respectively, are reported at amortized cost. The carrying value of our outstanding lines of credit and term loans approximates fair value because the borrowings primarily bear interest at variable rates based on current market rates or have short-term maturities. These fair value measurements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on observable market inputs.
The estimated fair values as of March 31, 2026 of the 2029 Convertible Notes, the 2028 Convertible Notes, and the 2030 Convertible Notes were $1,381.7 million, $601.9 million, and $1,684.3 million, respectively. The estimated fair values as of June 30, 2025 of the 2029 Convertible Notes, the 2028 Convertible Notes, and the 2030 Convertible Notes were $1,801.9 million, $818.5 million, and $2,576.6 million. The estimated fair values of the 2029 Convertible Notes, the 2028 Convertible Notes, and the 2030 Convertible Notes was determined based on level 2 inputs of quoted market prices.

Our non-marketable equity securities include $92.5 million invested in an unrelated party (the “Sub-licensee”) to which we have subleased the entire space in Vernon, California. The Sub-licensee does not meet the criteria of a related party. Additionally, the Sub-licensee has been a customer of ours, and we concluded that equity investment agreements and sub-licensing agreements are separate from revenue contracts as all transactions have been recorded at the respective fair values. Please refer to Note 10, “Leases” for further discussion.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized an impairment loss of $12.0 million. No impairment loss was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Subsequently on February 26, 2026, we renewed the Credit Agreement and the new maturity date is March 9, 2027.
As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding borrowings under the First Bank credit line was $19.9 million.
JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility
On December 29, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (“JP Morgan”) as administrative agent and collateral agent, and a syndicate of lenders, which provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $2,000.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), including a $200.0 million letter of credit sub-limit and a $150.0 million same-day borrowing sub-limit, with an option to increase total commitments by up to $1,000.0 million subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The upfront fees totaling $9.8 million incurred in connection with the credit agreement were capitalized as deferred cost and recorded as a non-current asset included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of issuance of the credit facility. These deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility and not material.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $2,000.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either an alternate base rate (“ABR”) or a term rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on (i) during a non-investment grade period, our leverage ratio (ranging from 1.25 % to 2.00 % for term rate loans and 0.25 % to 1.00 % for ABR loans), or (ii) during an investment grade period, our corporate family rating (ranging from 1.13 % to 1.38 % for term rate loans and 0.13 % to 0.38 % for ABR loans). We also pay a quarterly commitment fee on unused commitments ranging from 0.15 % to 0.30 % during a non-investment grade period (or 0.12 % to 0.15 % during an investment grade period). Investment grade period refers to the period beginning on the date (no earlier than September 30, 2026) when we attain an investment grade corporate family rating from at least two of Moody’s (Baa3 or higher), S&P (BBB- or higher), and Fitch (BBB- or higher), in each case with a stable or better outlook, and delivers an officer’s certificate to the administrative agent confirming such ratings, and continuing until the occurrence of a subsequent non-investment grade trigger event. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on December 29, 2030.
During any non-investment grade period, the Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by us and certain qualifying domestic subsidiaries (subject to customary exclusions) and is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all assets of the applicable loan parties (subject to customary exclusions). The Credit Agreement includes customary restrictive covenants (some of which are not applicable during an investment grade period), including limitations on indebtedness, investments, and restricted payments, and a maximum total net leverage ratio covenant of 4.00 :1.00 for the first four full fiscal quarters after inception, stepping down to 3.50 :1.00 for the next four full fiscal quarters, and 3.00 :1.00 thereafter. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (including change of control), which upon occurrence may result in the acceleration of amounts outstanding and termination of lender commitments.
CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities
On January 21, 2026, we entered into a facilities agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders led by CTBC Bank Co., Ltd., along with Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Taipei Branch and E.Sun Commercial Bank, Ltd. as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners (with CTBC Bank Co., Ltd. also acting as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement). The agreement provides for two revolving credit facilities totaling $710.0 million (the “CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities”), comprised of Facility A1 ($350.0 million) and Facility A2 ($360.0 million), with an option to increase total commitments to up to $2,000.0 million, subject to certain conditions. On January 30, 2026, we entered into an increased facilities letter under the Credit Agreement, providing for additional revolving credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $1,055.0 million. As a result, the total lender commitments under the Credit Agreement increased to $1,765.0 million.
The proceeds of the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities may be applied to procure certain components and/or raw materials, subject to specified invoice and purchase order documentation and related timing requirements. We may request loans under the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities at any time until and including the date falling one month prior to the maturity date. We intend to use the proceeds under the Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes, including to fund working capital for growth and business expansion, subject to the foregoing conditions.
Borrowings under Facility A1 denominated in USD accrue interest at the US dollar offered rate of the Taipei Forex Trading Center (“TAIFX3”) (subject to a zero floor) plus a margin of 1.0 % per annum, and borrowings under Facility A2 denominated in USD accrue interest at Term SOFR (subject to a zero floor) plus a margin of 1.2 % per annum. Borrowings under Facility A1 and Facility A2 denominated in NTD accrue interest at the Taipei Interbank Offered Rate (“TAIBOR”) (subject to a zero floor) plus a margin of 1.0 % per annum; provided that the interest rate applicable to any loan denominated in NTD will never be less than 1.7 %. We pay a commitment fee on unused and available commitments under the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities on each day of the availability period that the daily average utilization amount of the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities is less than 50 % of total commitments at a rate of 0.15 % per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. A 0.10 % fee is payable if the maturity of the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities is extended. Each prepayment of a loan under the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities on a date other than the last day of the applicable interest period and any cancellation of commitments under the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities is subject to a fee of 0.15 % of the relevant prepaid amount and/or cancelled amount.

The CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities mature on the first anniversary of the date of initial utilization; if no utilization is made within six months following the signing date of the Credit Agreement, the date of initial utilization will be deemed to be the first day following the completion of such six-month period. We may extend the maturity of the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities on no more than two occasions, in each case by an additional year. The Credit Agreement is governed by the laws of Taiwan, and disputes are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Taiwan. The upfront fees totaling $13.7 million incurred in connection with the credit agreement were capitalized as deferred cost and recorded as a current asset included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of issuance of the credit facilities. These deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility and not material.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $1,763.0 million outstanding under the CTBC Revolving Credit Facilities.

Each series is convertible, at our election, into cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, and none were eligible for early conversion as of March 31, 2026.
2029 Convertible Notes
We issued $1,725.0 million of 0.00 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (“Original 2029 Notes”) in February 2024. On February 20, 2025, we executed privately negotiated subscription and supplemental indenture agreements to amend the Original 2029 Notes (the “2029 Amendments”). Key changes included (i) establishing a 3.50 % annual coupon, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 beginning September 2025, and (ii) adjusting the conversion rate to 11.9842 shares per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $83.44 per share. All other material terms remained substantially unchanged.
The amendment was accounted for as an extinguishment of the original debt and issuance of new debt under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-50, resulting in a $30.3 million extinguishment loss recorded in other income (expense), net, during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method.
Holders may convert their notes upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including: (1) if our stock price exceeds 130 % of the conversion price for 20 of 30 consecutive trading days; (2) if the trading price of the notes is below 98 % of the product of the stock price and conversion rate; (3) upon certain corporate events or distributions; (4) if we call the notes for redemption; or (5) at any time from and after September 1, 2028 until the second scheduled trading day before maturity. The notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option beginning March 1, 2027 if our stock price exceeds 130 % of the conversion price for a specified period, at a price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, unamortized issuance costs are $17.2 million and $21.3 million, respectively. The interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $16.5 million and $8.2 million, respectively, including $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from the amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $49.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively, including $4.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from the amortization of debt issuance costs.

In connection with the issuance, we entered into 2029 Capped Call Transactions with certain financial institutions to reduce potential dilution upon conversion or offset cash payments exceeding principal. The capped calls were initially structured with a $134.14 strike price and $195.10 cap price and were amended in February 2025 to reflect the updated conversion rate. The amended cap price is $94.17 per share. These instruments are equity-classified under ASC 815-40, and no incremental value was recorded upon amendment.
2028 Convertible Notes
On February 20, 2025, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes under an indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The notes were issued concurrently with the amended 2029 Convertible Notes and are convertible, at our election, into cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both. The initial conversion rate is 16.3784 shares per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $61.06 per share.
Holders may convert their 2028 Convertible Notes at their option only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2025, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130 % of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the “2028 Convertible Note measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the 2028 Convertible Note measurement period was less than 98 % of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, as described in the 2028 Convertible Notes Indenture; (4) if we call the 2028 Convertible Notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, and including, January 15, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date irrespective of the circumstances in (1) - (4) above.
Interest accrues from February 20, 2025, and is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15, beginning July 15, 2025. The notes mature on July 15, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. Redemption may occur on or after March 1, 2026, if the stock price exceeds 150 % of the conversion price for a specified period.
The notes include customary provisions for conversion, redemption, and repurchase following a fundamental change. Upon such an event, holders may require us to repurchase all or part of their notes for cash equal to 100 % of principal plus accrued interest, and the conversion rate may be increased for holders converting in connection with a qualifying corporate event or redemption.
We accounted for the 2028 Convertible Notes as a single liability measured at amortized cost, as no embedded features required bifurcation as derivatives. As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, unamortized issuance costs are $11.1 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $5.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, including $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from the amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $15.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, including $3.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from the amortization of debt issuance costs.
2030 Convertible Notes
On June 23, 2025, we issued $2,300 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Convertible Notes, including the $300.0 million overallotment option. Net proceeds were approximately $2,256.0 million after issuance costs.
The 2030 Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial rate of 18.1154 shares per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $55.20 per share. Conversion prior to December 17, 2029 is permitted only if specified conditions are met (similar to those of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2029 Convertible Notes). After that date, the notes become convertible at any time up to two trading days before maturity.

We entered into 2030 Capped Call Transactions with certain counterparties to mitigate dilution or cash outflows above principal upon conversion. The capped calls have an initial cap price of $81.78 per share, representing a 100 % premium to the $40.89 share price on the issuance date. These instruments are equity-classified under ASC 815-40.
Note 10. Leases

In June 2024, we entered into a lease agreement for a 21 megawatt (“MW”) data center co-location space located in Vernon, California (the “Data Center Space”) that will expire on September 30, 2035. We do not have an option to extend (or to terminate) the lease. The lease agreement consists of three tranches, with the first tranche of 6 MW having commenced on January 24, 2025, the second tranche of 9 MW commenced on May 12, 2025, and the third tranche of 6 MW commenced on August 15, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the ROU assets and lease liabilities related to all three tranches totaled $284.0 million and $294.9 million, respectively. Variable lease payments not dependent on a rate or index associated with our leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed as probable. Variable lease payments are presented as operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Simultaneously, we entered into a Sublicense agreement, the term of which coincides with our Data Center Space lease. We accounted for the lease as an operating lease and the Sublicense as a sublease under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases. The Sublicense did not relieve our original obligation under the Data Center Space lease, and therefore we did not adjust the operating lease ROU asset and related liability. Sublicense income is recognized on a straight-line basis and the rental income is included in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We have a variety of business relationships with Ablecom Technology Inc (“Ablecom”) and Compuware Technology Inc (“Compuware”), both of which are Taiwan-based corporations. Ablecom is a major contract manufacturer for us and its Chief Executive Officer, Steve Liang, is the brother of Charles Liang, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. As of March 31, 2026, Steve Liang and his family members owned approximately 35.0 % of Ablecom’s stock. Charles Liang and his spouse, Sara Liu, who is also an officer and director for us, collectively owned approximately 10.5 % of Ablecom’s capital stock as of March 31, 2026. Bill Liang, a brother of both Charles Liang and Steve Liang, is a member of the board of directors of Ablecom. Bill Liang is also the Chief Executive Officer of Compuware, Chairman of Compuware’s board of directors and a holder of equity interest in Compuware. Steve Liang is also a member of Compuware’s board of directors and is an equity holder of Compuware. Compuware is also a major contract manufacturer for us and a distributor of our products in limited geographic regions. Neither Charles Liang nor Sara Liu own any capital stock of Compuware.

In October 2018, our Chief Executive Officer, Charles Liang, personally borrowed approximately $12.9 million from Chien-Tsun Chang, the spouse of Steve Liang. The loan was unsecured, had no maturity date and bore interest at 0.80 % per month for the first six months, increased to 0.85 % per month through February 28, 2020, and reduced to 0.25 % effective March 1, 2020. The loan was originally made at Mr. Liang's request to provide funds to repay margin loans to two financial institutions, which loans had been secured by shares of our common stock that he held. The lenders called the loans in October 2018, following the suspension of our common stock from trading on Nasdaq in August 2018 and the decline in the market price of our common stock in October 2018. As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the amount due on the unsecured loan (including principal and accrued interest) was $0.0 million and approximately $16.8 million, respectively. On October 9, 2025, the outstanding loan principal and accrued interest through October 8, 2025, totaling $16.9 million was repaid in full.
Dealings with Ablecom
We have entered into a series of agreements with Ablecom, including, but not limited to, multiple product development, production and service agreements, credit agreements, product manufacturing agreements, manufacturing services agreements and lease agreements for warehouse space.
Under these agreements, we outsource to Ablecom a portion of our design activities and a significant part of our server chassis manufacturing as well as an immaterial portion of other components. Ablecom manufactured approximately 94.0 % and 95.0 % of the chassis purchased by us during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 95.5 % and 95.2 % of the chassis purchased by us during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. With respect to design activities, Ablecom generally agrees to design certain agreed-upon products according to our specifications, and further agrees to build the tools needed to manufacture the products. We pay Ablecom for the design and engineering services, and further agree to pay Ablecom for the tooling. We retain full ownership of any intellectual property resulting from the design of these products and tooling.
During the third quarter ended March 31, 2026, we entered into an arrangement for Ablecom to resell certain products, to an end customer in Japan. The transaction was entered into in the ordinary course of business, and the related terms and conditions were consistent with those negotiated with other third-party resellers for similar transactions.
With respect to the manufacturing aspects of the relationship, Ablecom purchases most of the materials needed to manufacture the chassis from third parties and we provide certain components used in the manufacturing process (such as power supplies) to Ablecom through consignment or sales transactions. Ablecom uses these materials and components to manufacture the completed chassis and then sell them back to us. For the components purchased from us, Ablecom sells the components back to us at a price equal to the price at which we sold the components to Ablecom. There is no revenue recognized by us from these transactions. We and Ablecom frequently review and negotiate the prices of the chassis we purchase from Ablecom. In addition to inventory purchases, we also incur other costs associated with design services, tooling and other miscellaneous costs from Ablecom.
Our exposure to financial loss as a result of our involvement with Ablecom is limited to potential losses on our purchase orders in the event of an unforeseen decline in the market price and/or demand of our products such that we incur a loss on the sale or cannot sell the products. Non-cancelable purchase orders from us to Ablecom on March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 were $49.3 million and $30.6 million, respectively, effectively representing the exposure to financial loss. We do not directly or indirectly guarantee any obligations of Ablecom, or any losses that the equity holders of Ablecom may suffer. Since Ablecom manufactures substantially all the chassis that we incorporate into our products, if Ablecom were to suddenly be unable to manufacture chassis for us, our business could suffer if we are unable to quickly qualify substitute suppliers who can supply high-quality chassis to us in volume and at acceptable prices. We have extended a $10.0 million trade credit line with a net 30 days payment term to Ablecom through a credit agreement that outlines the terms and conditions governing their business dealings.

Dealings with Compuware
We appointed Compuware as a non-exclusive authorized distributor of our products in Taiwan, China, Australia, Malaysia, and U.S. Compuware assumes the responsibility of installing our products at the site of the end customer, if required, and administers customer support in exchange for a discount from our standard price for its purchases. From time to time, Compuware acts as a sales representative for us in exchange for a fee that is based on a percentage of net sales generated from customers introduced to us. The fee structure for Compuware is comparable to the fee structure offered to other sales representatives in the same geographic region.
We have entered into a series of agreements with Compuware, including multiple product development, production and service agreements, product manufacturing agreements, and lease agreements for office space. We extended a $200.0 million trade credit line on November 19, 2025, with a net 90 days payment term to Compuware through a credit agreement that outlines the terms and conditions governing their business dealings.
Under these agreements, we outsource a portion of our design activities, a significant part of our power supplies manufacturing and an immaterial portion of other components to Compuware. Compuware manufactured approximately 92.4 % and 93.7 % of the power supplies purchased by us during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 94.0 % and 94.8 % of the power supplies purchased by us during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. With respect to design activities, Compuware generally agrees to design certain agreed-upon products according to our specifications and further agree to build the tools needed to manufacture the products. We pay Compuware for the design and engineering services and further agrees to pay Compuware for the tooling. We retain full ownership of any intellectual property resulting from the design of these products and tooling. With respect to the manufacturing aspects of the relationship, Compuware purchases most of the materials needed to manufacture the power supplies from third parties and uses these materials to manufacture the products and then sell those products to us. We and Compuware frequently review and negotiate the prices of the power supplies we purchase from Compuware.
Compuware also manufactures motherboards, backplanes and other components used on printed circuit boards for us. We sell to Compuware most of the components needed to manufacture the above products. Compuware uses the components to manufacture the products and then sells the products back to us at a purchase price equal to the price at which we sold the components to Compuware, plus a “manufacturing value added” fee and other miscellaneous material charges and costs, including overhead and labor. There is no revenue recognized by us from these transactions. We and Compuware frequently review and negotiate the amount of the “manufacturing value added” fee that will be included in the price of the products we purchase from Compuware. In addition to the inventory purchases, we also incur costs associated with design services, tooling assets, and miscellaneous costs.
Our exposure to financial loss as a result of our involvement with Compuware is limited to potential losses on our purchase orders in the event of an unforeseen decline in the market price and/or demand of our products such that we incur a loss on the sale or cannot sell the products. Non-cancelable purchase orders from us to Compuware on March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 were $179.3 million and $118.3 million, respectively, effectively representing the exposure to financial loss. We do not directly or indirectly guarantee any obligations of Compuware, or any losses that the equity holders of Compuware may suffer.

Dealings with Leadtek Research Inc.
In October 2023, Ablecom and Compuware acquired an approximately 30 % interest in Leadtek Research Inc. (“Leadtek”), a Taiwan company specializing in providing professional graphics cards and workstation solutions (the “Leadtek Investment”). As of December 31, 2025, this interest came down to approximately 29 %. Prior to the Leadtek Investment, none of our related parties had direct or indirect material interests in any transactions in which we were a participant with Leadtek. Commencing with the closing of the Leadtek Investment, Steve Liang and Bill Liang have served as two of the seven members of the Leadtek board of directors. We engaged in transactions whereby we sold servers worth $0.4 million and $0.2 million to Leadtek during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1.2 million and $0.5 million to Leadtek during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We did not 0.0 million and $0.5 million from Leadtek during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Dealings with Investment in a Corporate Venture
In October 2016, we entered into agreements pursuant to which we contributed certain technology rights in connection with an investment in a privately held company (the “Corporate Venture”) located in China to expand our presence in China. The Corporate Venture was 30 % owned by us and 70 % owned by another company in China. The agreement was signed in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and the investment was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Corporate Venture was also a related party.
We monitor the investment for events or circumstances indicative of potential impairment and make appropriate reductions in carrying values if we determine that an impairment charge is required. As of June 30, 2025, we concluded the Corporate Venture would be divested in the fiscal year ending June 2026. We performed an impairment analysis on this investment and concluded the remaining carrying value of the equity investment of $6.7 million was impaired as of June 30, 2025. On November 25, 2025, the Equity Transfer Agreement was signed, and the divestiture of our 30 % interest was completed on December 23, 2025, and the Corporate Venture ceased to be a related party as of December 23, 2025.
We sold products worth $4.2 million to the Corporate Venture during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $8.1 million and $9.0 million to the Corporate Venture during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our share of intra-entity profits on the products that remained unsold by the Corporate Venture had been eliminated and reduced the carrying value of our investment in the Corporate Venture due to prior impairment write-off as of December 31, 2025. To the extent that the elimination of intra-entity profits reduces the investment balance below zero, such amounts are recorded within accrued liabilities. We had $0.0 million and less than $0.1 million receivables due from the Corporate Venture in accounts receivable, net as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plan
Our 2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”) was approved by stockholders on June 5, 2020, authorizing 50,000,000 plus 10,450,000 shares carried over from the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). No new awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan, though 72,460,000 shares remained reserved for outstanding awards at the time of adoption. Stockholders approved amendments to the 2020 Plan in May 2022, January 2024, and June 2025, increasing the share reserve by 20,000,000 , 15,000,000 , and 18,000,000 respectively. Awards under the 2020 Plan include stock options, restricted stock units, performance shares, and other equity-based awards. Stock options are granted at a price not less than fair value (110 % for 10 % stockholders) and generally expire ten years after the date of the grant. Stock options and RSUs generally vest over four years (25 % after one year and quarterly thereafter).
As of March 31, 2026, we had 7,654,346 authorized shares available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Determining Fair Value
We measure RSUs at the grant-date stock price and stock options using the Black-Scholes model, with inputs for expected term, volatility, zero dividend yield, and U.S. Treasury risk-free rates, amortized over the vesting period.
The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 was $21.70 and $33.98 per share, respectively, and three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 was $18.97 and $26.03 , respectively, using the below assumptions.
The fair value of stock option grants for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Note 13. Income Taxes
We recorded a provision for income taxes of $126.9 million and $266.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and provision of $5.8 million and $137.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 20.8 % and 20.2 % for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and 5.1 % and 13.9 % for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, were higher than that for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the significant decrease in tax deductions related to stock-based compensation and U.S. federal research tax credit, driven by a lower stock vesting price in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to tax benefits from the foreign-derived intangible income deduction, stock-based compensation, and the U.S. federal research tax credit.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law and contains several changes to key U.S. federal income tax laws, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. As of March 31, 2026, we have recognized the tax effects of certain OBBBA provisions. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the Act upon our future effective tax rate, tax liabilities, and cash taxes.
We believe that we have adequately provided reserves for all uncertain tax positions; however, amounts asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than our current position. Accordingly, our provision on federal, state and foreign tax related matters to be recorded in the future may change as revised estimates are made or as the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved.

In general, the federal statute of limitations remains open for tax years ended June 30, 2023 through 2025. Various states’ statutes of limitations remain open in general for tax years ended June 30, 2022 through 2025. Certain statutes of limitations in major foreign jurisdictions remain open for the tax years ended June 30, 2020 through 2025. It is reasonably possible that our gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $4.1 million, in the next 12 months, due to the lapse of the statute of limitations. These adjustments, if recognized, would positively impact our effective tax rate, and would be recognized as additional tax benefits. As of March 31, 2026, we are under examination in certain tax jurisdictions, including the United States for fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, and India for tax years ended in 2024 and 2025.

On August 30, 2024, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Averza v. Super Micro Computer, Inc., et al., No. 5:24-cv-06147). Additional putative class action complaints were filed in the same court on October 4, 2024 (Norfolk County Retirement System v.

Super Micro Computer, Inc. et al, No. 3:26-cv-02606). Another such complaint was filed on April 8, 2026 (City of Hialeah Employees Retirement System v. Super Micro Computer, Inc. et al, No. 5:26-cv-03018), which included a former director of the company as an additional defendant. The complaints contain similar allegations, claiming that (i) each of the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and (ii) each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer violated Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act as controlling persons of the Company for the alleged violations under (i), due (in each case) to alleged misrepresentations and/or omissions in public statements regarding the Company’s financial results and its internal controls and procedures. The Court then appointed Universal-Investment-Gesellschaft mbH as the Lead Plaintiff, who thereafter filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint on September 22, 2025. The appointment of Lead Plaintiff has been appealed to the Supreme Court of California. Company filed its Motion to Dismiss on November 21, 2025. These matters are too preliminary to form a judgment as to whether the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.

Liang, et al., Case No. 24CV454416 (filed Dec. 17, 2024) and Carter, et al. v. Liang, et al., Case No. 24CV454689 (filed Dec. 20, 2024) (together with the Spatz Action, the “State Court Derivative Litigation,” and together with the Federal Derivative Litigation, the “Derivative Litigation”). The Company was also named as a nominal defendant in the Derivative Litigation. The Federal Derivative Litigation purports to allege derivative claims for breaches of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and contribution arising out of allegations that the Company’s officers and directors caused the Company to issue materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s business operations and financial results. The State Court Derivative Litigation purports to allege claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider trading arising out of similar allegations as the Federal Derivative Litigation. The plaintiffs in the Derivative Litigation seek unspecified money damages, in addition to punitive damages and other relief. The Court in the Hollin Action consolidated the five previously stayed Federal Derivative Litigation actions. The Court in the Spatz Action stayed all proceedings and consolidating the three State Court Derivative Litigation actions. On August 29, 2025, certain current and former directors and certain current officers of the Company were named as defendants in another putative derivative lawsuit filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Anderson v. Liang, et al., C.A. No. 2025-0986-KSJM. On January 6, 2026, a substantially similar lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Mathiyalagan v. Liang, et. al., C.A. No. 2026-0013-KSJM. On January 29, 2026, another substantially similar lawsuit was filed in Northern District of California by plaintiffs Employees’ Retirement System of the State of Rhode Island and Bucks County Employees’ Retirement System, Case No. 5:26-cv-00955-NC. These matters are too preliminary to form a judgment as to whether the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
On November 19, 2024, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Enforcement Staff in connection with an investigation entitled In the Matter of Super Micro Computer, Inc. The Company continues to produce documents in response to the subpoena. The Company received another subpoena on April 28, 2026. The matter is too preliminary to form a judgment as to whether the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
Other legal proceedings and indemnifications
In the ordinary course of our business, we periodically receive subpoenas, civil investigative demands, and other formal requests for information from various courts, regulatory bodies, and government agencies. These requests typically seek documents or information related to our customers, products, or transactions in connection with matters that do not directly name or involve us as a party or target. Our general policy is to cooperate and respond fully to such requests as required by law. We are not aware of any such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our current and former directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities that arise by reason of their status as directors or officers and to advance expenses incurred by such individuals in connection with related legal proceedings. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of payments we could be required to make under these agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each claim. However, we maintain directors and officers liability insurance coverage to reduce our exposure to such obligations.

Other matters
As a result of a Supreme Court ruling issued in February 2026, we may be entitled to a refund of tariffs previously paid on imported products under the IEEPA. As of March 31, 2026, we have not recognized an asset related to the potential refund. We will continue to evaluate new information and will recognize the refund when the right to receive the amount becomes realized or realizable.
On April 7, 2026, the Company announced that it had launched an independent investigation into the allegations described in the March 19, 2026, indictment from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York concerning three individuals either employed or associated with the Company at the time in connection with an alleged conspiracy to commit export control violations. The independent investigation is being led by the Lead Independent Director of the Company’s Board and the Chair of the Board’s Audit Committee, who will report their findings and conclusions to the other four independent members of the Board. The investigations are ongoing and no conclusion has been reached.
Purchase Commitments— We have agreements to purchase inventory and non-inventory items primarily through the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2026, these remaining non-cancelable commitments were $10.1 billion, including $228.6 million for related parties. We also review and assess the need for expected loss liabilities on a quarterly basis for all products we do not expect to sell but have committed purchases from suppliers. As of March 31, 2026, we recorded $4.1 million of loss liabilities. The loss liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no loss liabilities recognized as of June 30, 2025.
Lease Commitments— See Note 10, “Leases”, for a discussion of our operating lease commitments.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, which includes our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Overview
We are a global leader in Application-Optimized Total IT Solutions. Founded and operating in San Jose, California, we are committed to delivering first-to-market innovation for Enterprise, Cloud, AI, and 5G Telco/Edge IT Infrastructure. As a Total IT Solutions manufacturer, our offerings include server, artificial intelligence (“AI”) systems, storage, IoT devices, switches, software, and support services. Supermicro's expertise in motherboard, power, and chassis design drives our ability to develop and produce next-generation innovations, from cloud to edge, for our global customers. Our products are designed and manufactured in-house across facilities in the United States, Taiwan, and the Netherlands. Leveraging our global operations for scale and efficiency, we optimize solutions to improve TCO while reducing environmental impact through Green Computing initiatives. Our award-winning portfolio of Server Building Block Solutions empowers customers to tailor systems precisely to their exact workloads and applications. By selecting from a broad family of flexible and reusable building blocks, customers can configure a comprehensive range of form factors, processors, memory, GPUs, storage, networking, power, and cooling solutions, including air-conditioned, free air, and liquid cooling solutions.
We commenced operations in 1993 and have been profitable every year since inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our net income was $483.4 million and $108.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our net income was $1,052.2 million and $853.7 million, respectively.
In order to increase our sales and profits, we believe that we must continue to develop flexible application optimized server and storage solutions while being among the first to market with new features and products. Our focus is on delivering Total IT Solutions that integrate, validate, and deliver server, storage, networking and software at the rack and cluster (multi-rack) level. Additionally, we will continue to expand our software offerings and enhance customer service and support, particularly as we increase our focus on large enterprise and data center customers. A key component of our strategy is our Data Center Building Block Solutions (“DCBBS”), which significantly reduces data center build time and enables full integration of AI computing, server, storage, networking, rack, cabling, liquid cooling, end-to-end management software, onsite deployment services, and ongoing maintenance. To further expand our market share, we intend to strengthen our network of sales partners and distribution channels.
We measure our financial success based on various key indicators, including growth in net sales, gross profit margin, operating margin, and net income per common share. In addition to these financial metrics, a critical non-financial indicator of our success is our ability to rapidly introduce new products and deliver the latest application-optimized server and storage solutions. To support this, we work closely with the developers and manufacturers of key components, allowing us to integrate emerging technologies as they become available. Our ability to quickly bring new products to market, which we believe is enabled by our Building Block Solution architecture and has historically enabled us to capitalize on major technology transitions such as the launch of new GPUs, microprocessors and storage technologies. Accordingly, we closely monitor the product introduction cycles of industry leaders, including NVIDIA Corporation, Intel Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Broadcom Inc., Samsung Electronics Company Limited, Micron Technology, Inc. and others. This strategic focus directly informs our research and development investments, as we continue to allocate resources toward both our current initiatives and future product innovation.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 41
AI and Data Centers
The growing use of AI, which requires enhanced data center capabilities, has substantially increased demand for our products. We expect this trend to continue, with further demand for data center expansion driven by the AI market. As a result, we will continue to enhance our product capabilities and expand our service offerings, including DCBBS to address the growing demand in the AI market and data center markets. We believe that our ability to tailor certain products to the unique needs of these sectors sets us apart from many competitors and positions us to capture an even greater market share going forward.
Macroeconomic Factors
Macroeconomic factors, including inflation, interest rate changes, capital market volatility, global supply chain constraints, tariffs, and global economic and geopolitical developments, have had and may continue to have direct and indirect impacts on our business and results of operations, particularly demand for our products and net sales. While difficult to isolate and quantify, these macroeconomic factors have also impacted and may continue to impact our supply chain and manufacturing costs, employee wages, costs for capital equipment and value of our investments. Further, while many of these macroeconomic factors could have a long-term impact, others may have a short-term impact which could lead to our financial results not being comparable on a period-to-period basis.
Financial Highlights
The following is a summary of our financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||||||||
| Net sales | $ | 10,243,014 | $ | 4,599,913 | ||||||||||
| Gross profit | $ | 1,018,680 | $ | 440,218 | ||||||||||
| Total operating expenses | $ | 392,812 | $ | 293,438 | ||||||||||
| Income from operations | $ | 625,868 | $ | 146,780 | ||||||||||
Net income | $ | 483,387 | $ | 108,777 | ||||||||||
| Net income per diluted share | $ | 0.72 | $ | 0.17 | ||||||||||
•Net sales increased by 122.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by fulfillment and shipment of orders to support our customers' data center deployment, including large design wins from a few customers, during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2026. An increase in our average selling price also contributed modestly by product mix.
•Gross margin remained relatively flat in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
•Operating expenses increased by 33.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher headcount and increases in salary and stock-based compensation.
•Net income increased to $483.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $108.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily due to a higher increase in net sales.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 42
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we regularly evaluate our accounting estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The actual impact on our financial performance could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
An accounting estimate is considered critical if both (i) the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (ii) the impact within a reasonable range of outcomes of the estimates and assumptions is material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting estimates in the areas of inventories, revenue recognition, and income taxes, when applicable, have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting estimates.
There have been no material changes to our critical estimates as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Results of Operations
Components of Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales primarily consist of sales of our server and storage solutions, including systems and related services, subsystems, and accessories. The key factors that impact net sales of our server and storage systems are the number of servers and racks sold, as well as the average selling prices per server or rack. For subsystems and accessories, the main drivers of net sales are the number of units shipped and the average selling price per unit. The prices for our server and storage systems can vary widely depending on the configuration, including factors such as speed, functionality and performance of key components, including CPUs, GPUs, SSDs, cooling systems, and memory. Similarly, the prices for our subsystems and accessories fluctuate depending on the relative value of the specific item being purchased, such as power supplies, server boards, chassis or other accessories.
Cost of Sales, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of sales primarily consists of the costs to manufacture our products, which includes: the costs of components and materials, contract manufacturing, shipping, personnel expenses (salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and incentive bonuses), equipment and facility expenses, warranty costs and inventory reserve charges.
We use several suppliers and contract manufacturers to design and manufacture subsystems in accordance with our specifications, with most final assembly and testing performed at our manufacturing facilities in the region where our products are sold. We work with Ablecom, one of our key contract manufacturers and a related party, for our chassis and certain other components. We also outsource a significant part of the manufacturing of certain components, particularly power supplies, to Compuware, also a related party. We also collaborate on design and development activities with Ablecom and Compuware, where we substantially fund the design costs and retain the intellectual property rights. Our purchases of products from Ablecom and Compuware combined represented 2.2% and 2.1% of cost of sales on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and 2.8% and 3.4% of cost of sales on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. For further details on our dealings with related parties, see Note 11, “Related Party Transactions” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 43
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of personnel expenses including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and incentive bonuses, and related expenses for our research and development personnel, as well as product development costs such as materials and supplies, consulting services, third-party testing services and equipment and facility expenses related to our research and development activities.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, commissions and incentive bonuses, and related expenses for our sales and marketing personnel, cost for trade shows, sales representative fees and marketing programs. From time to time, we receive marketing development funding from certain suppliers. Under these arrangements, we are reimbursed for certain marketing costs that we incur as part of the joint promotion of our products and those of our suppliers. These amounts offset a portion of the related expenses and have the effect of reducing our reported sales and marketing expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of general corporate costs, including personnel expenses such as salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and incentive bonuses, and related expenses for our general and administrative personnel, financial reporting, corporate governance and compliance, outside legal, audit, tax fees, insurance and credit losses on accounts receivable.
Other Income (Expense), Net, Interest Income, and Interest Expense
Other income (expense), net, interest income, and interest expense consists primarily of interest earned on our investments and cash balances, interest incurred on our debt, and foreign exchange gains and losses.
Income Tax Provision
Our income tax provision is based on our taxable income generated in the jurisdictions in which we operate, which primarily include the United States, Taiwan, and the Netherlands. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to research and development tax credits, certain non-deductible expenses, tax benefits from foreign derived intangible income, and stock-based compensation.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The $5,643.1 million or 122.7% increase in net sales was primarily due to fulfillment and shipment of orders to support our customers' data centers deployment, including large design wins from a few customers, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. An increase in our average selling price compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025 also contributed modestly by product mix. This was most pronounced in increased sales for AI GPU related products of $5,158.6 million or 150.5% year-over-year, including liquid-cooled and air-cooled servers that are generally more complex and of higher average selling price.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The $11,728.2 million or 72.3% increase in net sales was primarily due to fulfillment and shipment of orders to support our customers' data centers deployment, including large design wins from a few customers, during the nine months ended March 31, 2026. An increase in our average selling price compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025, also contributed modestly by product mix. This was most pronounced in increased sales for AI GPU related products of $12,028.9 million or 97.8% year-over-year, including liquid-cooled and air-cooled servers that are generally more complex and of higher average selling price. This was partially offset by decreased sales across other product categories by $318.0 million, or 34.9% as we continue to focus on gaining market share from our AI GPU platforms.
Cost of Sales, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of sales and gross margin for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (dollars in millions):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | Change | Nine Months Ended March 31, | Change | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The $5,064.6 million or 121.8% increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by an increase of approximately $5,047.8 million or 121.6% in certain products including GPU servers, HPC systems, and rack-scale solutions, consistent with the higher shipment volume during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as a $89.4 million or 608.0% increase in tariff expenses driven by new trade policies from the government. These increases were partially offset by a $54.9 million or 43.9% decrease in inventory write-down adjustments resulting from increase in market price for some of our products in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and a $12.3 million or 5.5% decrease due to an increase in vendor rebates.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 46
Gross margin remained relatively flat for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The $11,329.4 million or 79.1% increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by an increase of approximately $10,636.2 million or 72.0% in certain products including GPU servers, HPC systems, and rack-scale solutions, consistent with the higher shipment volume during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The remaining increases in cost of sales were driven by a $273.6 million or 891.0% increase in tariff expenses driven by new trade policies, a $79.9 million or 50.0% increase in inventory write-down adjustments resulting from excess and obsolete inventory with either insufficient demand or reduced net realizable value, and a $276.3 million or 29.2% increase due to a decrease in vendor rebates.
The 3.4% decrease in the gross margin was due to a change in product and customer mix, higher production and expedite costs as we began to ship new AI GPU platforms on a large scale and the increases in tariff expense and inventory write-down adjustments described above.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Research and development expenses. The $52.8 million or 32.4% increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by an increase in employee-related costs of $50.9 million, or 34.6%, mainly comprised of a $28.6 million, or 52.8%, increase in stock-based compensation, a $18.2 million, or 22.1%, increase in salaries, and a $4.1 million, or 10.4% increase in benefits as we expanded our workforce and invested in key talent to support our global growth across regions.
Sales and marketing expenses. The $29.5 million or 49.2% increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by an increase in employee-related costs of $26.1 million, or 53.2%, mainly comprised of a $23.0 million, or 61.8%, increase in salaries, and a $2.4 million, or 24.2%, increase in stock-based compensation, similar to our research and development expenses as we expanded our workforce and invested in key talent company-wide. Other increases include a $3.4 million, or 57.6%, increase in standard marketing and advertising activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 47
General and administrative expenses. The $17.1 million or 24.3% increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by an increase in employee-related costs of $6.1 million, or 16.4%, mainly comprised of a $5.5 million, or 41.4% increase in stock-based compensation, due to the hiring of key talent and the refresh of grants. Additionally, there was a $6.0 million, or 2000.0%, increase in financial fees primarily driven by a $5.7 million, or 100.0%, increase in factoring fees for the receivables sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, a $2.4 million or 133.3% increase in excise and franchise tax expense directly related to the increase in sales compared to prior-year quarter which increased the related tax expense, and a $1.6 million, or 6.5%, increase in professional and service fees primarily from additional external accounting, tax, legal and advisory services to support our external reporting related activities.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Research and development expenses. The $116.4 million or 25.7% increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by an increase in employee-related costs of $107.9 million, or 26.6%, mainly comprised of a $58.5 million, or 41.3%, increase in stock-based compensation, a $39.4 million, or 17.0%, increase in salaries, and a $10.0 million, or 31.3% increase in benefits as we expanded our workforce and invested in key talent to support our global growth across regions.
Sales and marketing expenses. The $2.1 million or 1.0% increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by an increase in employee-related costs of $42.9 million, or 27.6%, mainly comprised of a $34.7 million, or 28.4%, increase in salaries, a $6.5 million, or 27.2%, increase in stock-based compensation, and a $1.7 million, or 27.4%, increase in other personnel costs, similar to our research and development expenses as we expanded our workforce and invested in key talent company-wide. These increases were partially offset by a $28.9 million, or 111.2%, increase in marketing development funds received from certain business partners related to co-marketing and advertising events to promote products, which reduced sales and marketing expense, and a $12.2 million, or 19.1%, decrease in standard marketing and advertising activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025.
General and administrative expenses. The $22.5 million or 11.3% increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by an increase in employee-related costs of $9.5 million, or 9.2%, mainly comprised of a $7.5 million or 12.6% increase in salaries and benefits, and a $2.0 million, or 4.5% increase in stock-based compensation, due to the hiring of key talent and the refresh of grants. Additionally, there was a $7.2 million, or 124.1% increase in excise and franchise tax expense directly related to the increase in sales compared to prior-year which increased the related tax expense, a $6.0 million, or 857.1%, increase in financial fees primarily driven by a $5.7 million, or 100.0% increase in factoring fees for the receivables sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, a $6.0 million, or 12.3%, increase in professional and service fees primarily from additional external accounting, tax, legal and advisory services to support our external reporting related activities, and an increase of $5.6 million or 65.1% in indirect facilities costs such as rental costs, utility costs, and depreciation costs. These increases were partially offset by a $11.6 million or 56.9% reduction in audit and tax fees, driven by an absence of additional costs related to the delayed filing of our fiscal 2024 Form 10-K.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The $37.2 million or 112.7% increase in other income (expense), net was primarily driven by one-time $30.3 million loss on extinguishment of our Original 2029 Convertible Notes resulting from the 2029 Convertible Notes Amendments (see Note 9, “Convertible Notes”) recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as a $3.5 million or 1183.1% increase due to favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The $30.7 million or 208.8% increase in interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by higher interest income as a result of increased cash deposits funded by the proceeds from our convertible notes issuance and financing arrangements with a customer.
The $51.1 million or 381.3% increase in interest expense was primarily driven by a $11.8 million or 98.6% increase in interest and amortization related to the amendment of the 2029 Convertible Notes and new issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2030 Convertible Notes during the second half of fiscal 2025, as well as $34.6 million additional interest expense related to the drawdown on our revolving credit facilities during the third quarter of fiscal 2026.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The $33.8 million or 114.6% decrease in other income (expense), net was primarily driven by one-time $30.3 million loss on extinguishment of our Original 2029 Convertible Notes resulting from the 2029 Convertible Notes Amendments (see Note 9, “Convertible Notes”) recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2025, as well as a $8.7 million or 4242.4% gain from mark-to-market adjustments on a marketable equity securities investment for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025, and a $3.9 million or 93.9% increase due to favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations during the nine months ended March 31, 2026. These increases were partially offset by a $13.7 million impairment loss related to our non-marketable investments during the nine months ended March 31, 2026.
The $116.4 million or 370.7% increase in interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by higher interest income as a result of increased cash deposits funded by the proceeds from our convertible notes issuance and financing arrangements with a customer.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 49

Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision and effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (dollars in millions):

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Income tax provision increased by $121.1 million or 2,087.9% primarily due to an increase in worldwide income before income tax provision that increased tax expense by $104.1 million, a lower tax benefit from stock-based compensation of approximately $11.5 million, a lower tax benefit from U.S. federal research tax credit of $3.5 million, and other miscellaneous immaterial tax items of approximately $2.0 million. The income before income tax provision for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $611.0 million, which is an increase of $495.9 million or 431.0%.
Our quarterly effective income tax rate is based on the estimated annual income tax rate forecast and discrete tax items recognized in the period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, is higher than that for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a significant decrease in stock-based compensation tax deduction and lower U.S. federal research tax credit because of lower stock vesting price in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Income tax provision increased by $128.7 million or 93.6% primarily due to an increase in worldwide income before income tax provision that increased tax expense by $69.4 million, a lower tax benefit from stock-based compensation of approximately $35.2 million, a lower tax benefit from U.S. federal research tax credit of $12.2 million, an increase of state tax expense by $9.6 million, and other miscellaneous immaterial tax items of approximately $2.3 million. The income before income tax provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 was $1,319.7 million, which is an increase of $330.5 million or 33.4%.
Our quarterly effective income tax rate is based on the estimated annual income tax rate forecast and discrete tax items recognized in the period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, is higher than that for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a significant decrease in stock-based compensation tax deduction and lower U.S. federal research tax credit because of lower stock vesting price in the nine months ended March 31, 2026.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 50
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our growth primarily with funds generated from operations, as well as utilizing borrowing facilities, selling our common stock, and issuing convertible notes. Recent drivers of liquidity changes included an increase in the need for working capital due to higher levels of inventory required to support future revenue growth, greater requests for longer payment terms from customers due to increasing system costs and to a lesser extent longer supply chain lead times on certain key components. Our cash and cash equivalents were $1.3 billion and $5.2 billion as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents held in foreign locations was $617.3 million and $607.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
Amounts held outside of the United States are typically used to meet non-U.S. liquidity needs. Repatriations of these funds are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax, though state income or foreign withholding taxes may apply. In cases where local restrictions prevent the intercompany transfer of funds, our strategy is to retain cash balances outside the U.S. and meet liquidity needs through operating cash flows, external borrowings, or both. We do not expect restrictions or potential taxes on the repatriation of amounts held outside the U.S. to materially affect our overall liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.
We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, borrowing capacity available from our credit facilities and internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to support our operations and maturing debt and interest payments for the 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We continue to assess financing options that may be necessary to support the growth of our business.
Our key cash flow metrics were as follows (in millions):
| Nine Months Ended March 31, | Change | ||||||||||||||||

Operating Activities
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 mostly consisted of $1,052.2 million net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as $305.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $239.3 million of inventory valuation adjustment write-downs, $39.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and changes in working capital. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025, was due to an increase in inventory purchases, accounts receivables from customers, and increased operational spending.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 mostly consisted of $133.8 million of purchases of property, plant, and equipment as we continued to invest in real estate, servers, data centers, and network infrastructure, as well as investments made in equity securities of $42.0 million. The increase in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025, was mostly due to increases in purchases of property, plant, and equipment.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 51
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 mostly consisted of net proceeds from lines of credit and term loans of $4,010.2 million, partially offset by payment for withholding taxes related to settlement of equity awards of $102.4 million. The increase in cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025, was mostly due to an increase in net proceeds from lines of credit and term loans.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources
Refer to Note 8, “Lines of Credit, Revolving Credit Facilities, and Term Loans”, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for further information on our outstanding debt.
Refer to Note 9, “Convertible Notes”, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for further information on the amendment of the terms of the 2029 Convertible Notes, and the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the 2030 Convertible Notes.
Capital Expenditure Requirements
We anticipate our total capital expenditures for the fiscal year 2026 will be in range of $155.0 million to $175.0 million, primarily relating to costs associated with our global manufacturing capabilities, including tooling for new products, new information technology investments, and facilities upgrades and expansion. We will also continue to evaluate new business opportunities and new markets. As a result, our future growth within the existing business or new opportunities and markets may dictate the need for additional facilities and capital expenditures to support that growth. We evaluate capital expenditure projects based on a variety of factors, including expected strategic impacts (such as forecasted impact on net sales growth, productivity, expenses, service levels and customer retention).
Our future capital requirements will depend on a variety of factors, including our growth rate, the timing and scale of investments to support product development, the expansion of sales and marketing efforts, the launch of new and enhanced software and services offerings, and continued investments in our office facilities and IT system infrastructure.
Contractual Obligations
Our estimated future obligations as of March 31, 2026, include both current and long-term obligations. For our long-term debt, as noted in Note 8, “Lines of Credit, Revolving Credit Facilities, and Term Loans” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we have a current obligation of $2,095.1 million and a long-term obligation of $2,018.7 million. Additionally, as noted in Note 9, “Convertible Notes” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we have a convertible debt obligation of $4,725.0 million. Under our operating leases, as noted in Note 10, “Leases” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we have a current obligation of $32.7 million and a long-term obligation of $345.4 million. As noted in Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies”, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we have current obligations related to non-cancelable purchase commitments of $10.1 billion.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Investment and Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our fixed-rate investment portfolio and outstanding debt. The investment portfolio is managed consistent with our overall liquidity strategy in support of both working capital needs and growth of our businesses.
The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income without significantly increasing the risk. Some of the securities we invest in are subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in money market funds and certificates of deposit. Our investment in an auction rate security has been classified as non-current due to the lack of a liquid market for these securities. Since our results of operations are not dependent on investments, the risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio, and we believe that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on our results of operations. As of March 31, 2026, our investments were in money market funds, certificates of deposits and auction rate securities.
We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our borrowings under our lines of credit and term loans. The interest rates for the term loans and the revolving lines of credit ranged from 1.3% to 5.1% at March 31, 2026 and 1.3% to 5.8% at June 30, 2025. Based on the outstanding principal indebtedness of $4,113.7 million under our credit facilities as of March 31, 2026, we believe that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the results of operations.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
We consider our direct exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal as substantially all of our sales and purchases are in United States dollars. To date, our international customer and supplier agreements have been denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and accordingly, we have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from customer agreements. The functional currency of our subsidiaries including in the Netherlands, Taiwan and Malaysia is the U.S. dollar. However, certain loans and transactions in these entities are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, and thus we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations associated with re-measurement to U.S. dollars. Such fluctuations have not been significant historically, and a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not have a significant impact on the results of operations. Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement are included in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 53
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This “Controls and Procedures” section includes information concerning the internal controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications.
(a) Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2026. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that their objectives are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all disclosure control issues, if any, have been detected. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, described below, that were previously identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 filed on August 28, 2025. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes and has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
(b) Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.
As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting first identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 filed on February 25, 2025, remain unremediated as of March 31, 2026:
(i) information technology general controls ("ITGC") for certain systems that support our financial reporting process were not appropriately identified, designed or implemented; (ii) controls to address segregation of duties conflicts were not properly designed and appropriately implemented; (iii) controls over the completeness and accuracy of information we produce, impacting multiple financial statement areas were not properly implemented or documented; and (iv) we did not design, implement and retain appropriate documentation of control procedures to achieve timely, complete and accurate recording and disclosures across multiple financial statement areas including the timely identification and disclosure of new related party transactions.
The above material weaknesses could have increased the risk of unauthorized access to certain information technology systems that support our financial reporting processes, manipulation of data that we use to produce our financial statements, and/or lack of complete and accurate information, which could lead to financial misstatements and affect our ability to report our information on a timely basis.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 54
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, management believes and has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
(c) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
(d) Remediation Plan and Status
We have identified and implemented specific actions intended to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and will continue to do so until the remediation of the material weaknesses identified above is complete, and we are able to conclude that both our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2026, we made significant progress related to our remediation efforts and began to implement additional changes designed to improve our internal controls over financial reporting and to remediate the material weaknesses, including, but not limited to:
•Continued to successfully monitor and make enhancements as appropriate to the design and effectiveness of our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system security role structure and segregation of duties (“SOD”) rulesets, to eliminate or minimize SOD conflicts related issues that collectively contributed to the material weakness. Our security ruleset redesign has significantly simplified our security design, and we believe a combination of the reset and our continuous detective and monitoring procedures will likely successfully remediate the SOD-related material weakness subject to the completion of operating effectiveness testing during fiscal year 2026;
•Over the last few months starting in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and in particular in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we have continued to evaluate and review our overall IT architecture, including the composition, appropriateness and upgrades required to our IT organization and applications, to ensure that all applications and systems that are key to the completeness and accuracy of our financial reporting processes were appropriately identified to be part of the population over which we design and maintain ITGCs. During the quarter ended March 2026, we have continued to implement steps towards optimizing our overall IT framework, standardization of processes across infrastructure and security, including establishing stronger governance policies and protocols, user access and change management restrictions. We also continue to make targeted improvements to our Information Technology Service Management (“ITSM”) tool thereby enhancing change management practices, which incorporate more preventative controls, to be supplemented by a continuous monitoring review. We believe these actions will likely allow us to successfully remediate the material weakness we previously identified relating to the deficiencies noted in the design and implementation of ITGC controls for systems that support our financial reporting processes, subject to the completion of operating effectiveness testing during fiscal year 2026; and
•Continuing to enhance our accounting policies and related information provided by entity (“IPE”) documentation, and, as part of the financial reporting process, implementing the use of supplementary checklists as well as conducting additional reviews and evaluations of transactions to improve the accuracy and reliability of our financial information. We have implemented preventive controls either by way of access restrictions or automated processes to eliminate segregation of duties related risks in some of our processes, thereby enabling us to remediate the deficiencies resulting from manual update permissions that were in place before these enhancements were completed. We also have designed and implemented additional control procedures, including a more comprehensive review of transactions as part of our close process, to achieve timely, complete and accurate recording and disclosures across multiple financial statement areas including but not limited to the timely identification and disclosure of new related party transactions, leases among other areas, subject to the completion of operating effectiveness testing during fiscal year 2026.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 55
Implementing and maintaining an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and in the economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations. As we continue to evaluate and take actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional actions to address control deficiencies or modify certain of the remediation measures described above.
While we have made significant progress to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we are still in the process of implementing certain additional processes, procedures and controls. We will require additional time to complete implementation, to complete testing and to assess and ensure the long-term sustainability of these procedures. We believe the above actions will be effective in remediating the material weaknesses described above, and we will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded after completion of appropriate testing that these controls are operating effectively.
(e) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
However, as noted above, we will continue implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address the material weaknesses described above.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to the information set forth in Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Due to the inherent uncertainties of legal proceedings, we cannot predict the outcome of the proceedings at this time, and we can give no assurance that they will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, which are incorporated herein by reference, and which could adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and future results. There have been no material changes from the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, except as set forth below.
If negative publicity arises with respect to us, our employees, our third-party service providers or our partners, our business and operating results could be adversely affected, regardless of whether the negative publicity is true.
Negative publicity about us or our products, even if inaccurate or untrue, could adversely affect our reputation and confidence in our products, which could harm our business and operating results. For example, on August 27, 2024, a news article was published by a short seller alleging evidence of accounting manipulation, sibling self-dealing and sanctions evasion (the “Report”). We indicated that such Report contained false or inaccurate statements about us, including misleading presentations of information we previously shared publicly and announced the results of the related Special Committee investigation.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 56
On March 19, 2026, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment of three individuals either employed or associated with the Company at the time in connection with an alleged conspiracy to commit export control violations (the “Indictment”). Although the Company is not named as a defendant in the Indictment and has been cooperating with the government’s investigation, and although the three individuals are no longer employed or associated with the Company, the Indictment, as well as the prior publication of the Report and our previous Delinquent Reports have all contributed to significant volatility in, and declines of, the trading price of our common stock, as well as harm to our reputation, and could continue to do so in the future.
Harm to our reputation has in the past, and may in the future, arise from many other sources, including employee misconduct, such as in connection with the alleged conduct described in the Indictment involving individuals associated with the Company at the time, and misconduct by our partners, consultants and outsourced service providers. Additionally, negative publicity with respect to our partners or service providers could also affect our business and operating results to the extent that we rely on these partners or if our customers or prospective customers associate us with these partners.
Our operations are impacted by complex laws, rules and regulations related to import and export controls to which our business is subject, and rapid changes in such laws, rules, and regulations as well as political and other actions related thereto may adversely impact our business.
We are subject to U.S. and other applicable trade control regulations that restrict with whom we may transact business, including economic sanctions administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and the import and export controls enforced by the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, among other U.S. government agencies. If we fail to comply with applicable sanctions, export control or import laws and regulations, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties. Any future violations could have an adverse impact on our ability to sell our products to United States federal, state and local government and related entities. We have business relationships with companies in China, in Eastern Europe, and elsewhere who have been, or may in the future be, added to a restricted party list. We take steps to minimize business disruption when these situations arise; however, we may be required to terminate or modify such relationships if our activities are prohibited by U.S. or other applicable laws. Further, our association with these parties could subject us to greater scrutiny or reputational harm among current or prospective customers, partners, suppliers, investors, other parties doing business with us or using our products, government enforcement agencies, or the general public. The United States and other countries continually update their lists of import and export-controlled items and technologies, and may impose new or more-restrictive import, export, or sanctions requirements on our products in the future. As a result of regulatory changes, we may be required to obtain licenses or other authorizations to continue supporting existing customers or to supply existing products to new customers in China, Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Further escalations in trade restrictions or hostilities, particularly between the United States and China, could impede our ability to sell or support our products. Although we historically sold products into Russia before broad sanctions were imposed, we no longer sell products or provide services to Russia. We had last recorded revenue from customers based in Russia in February 2022.
Moreover, the increasing focus on the risks and strategic importance of AI technologies has resulted in regulatory restrictions that target products and services capable of enabling or facilitating AI and may in the future result in additional restrictions impacting some or all of our product and service offerings.
Concerns regarding third-party use of AI for purposes contrary to governmental interests, including concerns relating to the misuse of AI applications, models, and solutions, has resulted in and could in the future result in unilateral or multilateral restrictions on products that can be used for training, modifying, tuning, and deploying large language models (“LLMs”). Such restrictions have limited and could in the future limit the ability of downstream customers and users worldwide to acquire, deploy and use systems that include our products, software, and services, and negatively impact our business and financial results.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 57
Such restrictions could include additional unilateral or multilateral import and export controls on certain products or technology, including but not limited to AI technologies and high-performance computing. As geopolitical tensions have increased, products containing semiconductors associated with AI, including GPUs and associated products, are increasingly the focus of export control restrictions proposed by stakeholders in the U.S. and its allies. The United States has imposed unilateral controls restricting GPUs and associated products, and it is likely that additional unilateral or multilateral controls will be adopted. Such controls have been and may again be very broad in scope and application, prohibit us from exporting our products to any or all customers in one or more markets, including but not limited to China, and could tangentially negatively impact our warehousing locations and options, or could impose other conditions that limit our ability to serve demand abroad and could negatively and materially impact our business, revenue and financial results. Violations or alleged violations of such unilateral controls restricting GPUs and associated products, such as in connection with the alleged conduct described in the Indictment involving individuals associated with the Company at the time, have contributed to significant volatility in, and declines of, the trading price of our common stock, as well as harm to our reputation.
Import and export controls targeting products containing GPUs and semiconductors associated with AI, which have been imposed and are increasingly likely to be further tightened, would further restrict our ability to export our technology, products, or services given that competitors may not be subject to similar restrictions, creating a competitive disadvantage for us and negatively impacting our business and financial results. In addition, such controls may subject downstream users to additional restrictions on the use, resale, repair, or transfer of our products, negatively impacting our business and financial results. Controls could negatively impact our cost and/or ability to provide services.
Import and export controls could disrupt our supply chain and distribution channels, negatively impacting our ability to serve demand, including in markets outside China. Repeated changes in the export control rules are likely to impose compliance burdens on our business and our customers, negatively and materially impacting our business.
Increasing use of economic sanctions and import and export controls has impacted and may in the future impact demand for our products or services, negatively impacting our business and financial results. Reduced demand due to import and export controls could also lead to excess inventory or cause us to incur related supply charges. Additional unilateral or multilateral controls are also likely to include deemed export control limitations that may also have negative impacts. Additional export restrictions may not only impact our ability to serve overseas markets, but also provoke responses from foreign governments, including China, that negatively impact our supply chain or our ability to provide our products and services to customers in all markets worldwide, which could also substantially reduce our revenue.
In October 2022, U.S. export restrictions and export licensing requirements were imposed targeting China’s semiconductor and supercomputing industries. These restrictions impact exports of software, hardware, equipment and technology used to develop, produce or manufacture certain chips in China (including Hong Kong). At the same time, export restrictions and export license requirements were also imposed on certain GPUs and advanced integrated circuits, as well as computing equipment containing such components, with a focus on China (including Hong Kong). These restrictions impacted certain of our products, including products that contain the NVIDIA A100 and H100 integrated circuits, among others.
In November 2023, the export control restrictions on advanced integrated circuits, supercomputing and other end uses were revised and further expanded to cover additional countries where we sell our products, including in the Middle East, and additional parties based on the location of their headquarters, or the headquarters of their ultimate parent. Compliance with ever-changing regulations is complex and time consuming. We may experience delays in implementing procedures to address the changing regulatory requirements.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 58
In January 2025, the U.S. export control regulations targeting advanced integrated circuits and computing were further revised to include a worldwide authorization requirement for certain of our advanced computing products. New license exceptions were added to the regulations and allow us to export in some cases without the need for an export license, thus expanding upon previous authorizations. However, these new regulations will, depending on the country and ultimate consignee, also place new limits on the number of advanced computing products that we can export to each ultimate consignee per calendar year, and the number of advanced computing products that the Commerce Department will license per-country over a given period to all exporters in the aggregate. These new limitations create a competitive process for obtaining the product allocation associated with these new government authorizations and therefore could disadvantage us against certain of our competitors. The limitations could also prevent us from selling our advanced computing products to the full extent of customer demand in certain countries that have not historically been subject to these limitations.
In some cases, we rely on channel partners and third parties to distribute and resell our products globally. If channel partners, or their customers, do not adhere to the applicable trade compliance requirements, this can subject us to greater scrutiny or reputational harm among current or prospective customers, partners, suppliers, investors, other parties doing business with us or using our products, government enforcement agencies, or the general public.
In the event import and export controls require us to transition some operations out of certain geographies, such transitions could be costly and time consuming, and adversely affect our operations during any such transition period. To the extent that customer requires products covered by the licensing requirements, we may seek a license for the customer. However, the licensing process is time-consuming. We have no assurance that any such license will be granted or that the license application will be acted upon in a timely manner or at all. Even if a license is offered, it may impose burdensome conditions that we or our customer or end users cannot or decide not to accept.
The process to obtain licenses required under recently adopted export control regulations is complicated and time consuming in the event we determine to pursue them, and there are no assurances they may be granted at all. Our competitive position and future results may be harmed, over the long-term, if there are further changes in import and export controls, including further expansion of the geographic, customer, end use, deemed export, or product scope of the controls, if customers purchase product from competitors, if customers develop their own internal solution, if we are unable to provide contractual warranty or other extended service obligations, if licenses are not granted in a timely manner or denied to significant customers or if we incur significant transition costs. Even if requested licenses are granted, the licenses may be temporary or impose burdensome conditions that we or our customers or end users cannot or choose not to fulfill. The licensing requirements may benefit certain of our competitors, as the licensing process will make our technical support efforts more cumbersome and less certain and encourage customers to pursue alternatives to our products.
Given the increasing strategic importance of AI and rising geopolitical tensions, the export control rules may change again at any time and further subject a wider range of our products to export restrictions and licensing requirements, negatively impacting our business and financial results. In the event of such change, we may be unable to sell our inventory of such products and may be unable to develop replacement products not subject to the licensing requirements, effectively excluding us from markets subject to such restrictions, as well as other impacted markets. Any new control that impacts a wider range of our products would likely have a disproportionate impact on us and may disadvantage us against certain of our competitors that sell products that are outside the scope of such control.
Finally, our business depends on our ability to receive consistent and reliable supplies from our overseas partners, especially in Taiwan. Any new restrictions that negatively impact our ability to receive supply of components, parts, or services from Taiwan, would negatively impact our business and financial results.
SMCI | Q3 2026 Form 10-Q | 59
Although we attempt to ensure that we, our customers, suppliers, resellers, and partners comply with the applicable import, export, and sanctions laws, we cannot guarantee full compliance by all. Actions of our customers, suppliers, resellers and partners are not within our complete control, and our products could be re-exported to sanctioned persons or countries or provided by our retailers to third persons in contravention of our requirements or instructions or the laws. In addition, there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any policies, procedures, and internal controls relating to such compliance, and there can be no assurance that such procedures or internal controls will work effectively at all times or protect us against liability under anti-corruption, sanctions or other laws for actions taken by us, our resellers or partners. For example, the Indictment alleged that the three individuals employed or associated with the Company at the time worked closely with third-party brokers with customers based in China to commit export-control violations. Any such potential violation by us, our customers, suppliers, resellers, or our partners could have negative consequences, including government inquiries, investigations, enforcement actions, monetary fines, or civil and/or criminal penalties, and our reputation, brand, and revenue may be harmed.
