Financial Results for Fiscal Q1 Ended September 30, 2024

• Revenue was $181.9 million, an increase of 12.8% from the prior quarter and an increase of 0.7% from the same quarter last year.
• GAAP gross margin was 24.5%, down from 25.7% in the prior quarter and down from 28.2% in the same quarter last year.
• Non-GAAP gross margin was 25.5%, down from 26.4% in the prior quarter and down from 28.8% in the same quarter last year.
• GAAP operating expenses were $44.8 million, up from $42.9 million in the prior quarter and up from $41.5 million in the same quarter last year.
• Non-GAAP operating expenses were $38.5 million, down from $39.3 million from last quarter and down from $40.8 million in the same quarter last year.
• GAAP operating loss was $0.3 million, down $1.5 million of operating loss in the prior quarter and down from $9.4 million of operating income in the same quarter last year.
• Non-GAAP operating income was $7.8 million as compared to $3.2 million of operating income for the prior quarter and $11.2 million of operating income for the same quarter last year.

• Non-GAAP net income per share was $0.21, compared to $0.09 net income per share for the prior quarter and 0.33 net income per share for the same quarter a year ago.
• Consolidated cash flow provided by operating activities was $11.0 million, as compared to $7.1 million of cash flow provided by operating activities in the prior quarter.
• The Company closed the quarter with $176.0 million of cash and cash equivalents.

AOS Chief Executive Officer Stephen Chang commented, “Our fiscal Q1 results were in-line with our revenue and EPS guidance driven by sequential growth in each of our major segments. We saw seasonal strength from smartphones, computing, tablets, gaming, and wearables."

Mr. Chang concluded, “Looking into the rest of calendar year 2024, we anticipate a typical seasonal decline in notebooks and smartphones that will lead to a sequential decrease in December quarter revenue. However, we expect slight sequential growth in our Computing and Industrial segments—driven by strength in desktops, graphics cards, and quick chargers—to help partially offset this decline. Looking into next year, although visibility is limited, our strategic transition from a component supplier to a total solutions provider with a diverse product portfolio and premier customer base positions us well to outperform the broader markets we serve."

Business Outlook for Fiscal Q2 Ending December 31, 2024

The following statements are based on management’s current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. AOS undertakes no obligation to update these statements.

Our expectations for the fiscal second quarter of year 2025 are as follows:

• Revenue to be approximately $170 million, plus or minus $10 million.
• GAAP gross margin to be 24%, plus or minus 1%. We anticipate non-GAAP gross margin to be 25%, plus or minus 1%.
• GAAP operating expenses to be in the range of $45 million, plus or minus $1 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $38.8 million, plus or minus $1 million.
• Interest expense to be approximately equal to interest income, and
• Income tax expense to be in the range of $1 million to $1.2 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of future performance based on management’s judgment, beliefs, current trends, and anticipated product performance. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, market trends in the semiconductor industry and growth in calendar year 2024, our ability to outperform market, seasonality of our business, our ability to pursue new opportunities, our projected amount of revenue, gross margin, operating income (loss), income tax expenses, net income (loss), and share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, income tax expenses, our ability to grow our sales and market share, and other information under the section entitled “Business Outlook for Fiscal Q2 Ending December 31, 2024.” Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the state of semiconductor industry and seasonality of our markets; decline of PC markets; our lack of control over the joint venture in China; difficulties and challenges in executing our diversification strategy into different market segments; ordering pattern from distributors and seasonality; changes in regulatory environment and government investigation; our ability to introduce or develop new and enhanced products that achieve market acceptance; government policies on our business operations in China; the actual product performance in volume production; the quality and reliability of our product, our ability to achieve design wins; the general business and economic conditions; our ability to maintain factory utilization at a desirable level; and other risks as described in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 filed by AOS with the SEC and other periodic reports we filed with the SEC. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in this press release is as of today’s date, unless otherwise stated, and AOS undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures for our historical performance, including non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and EBITDAS. These supplemental measures exclude, among other items, share-based compensation expenses, legal and professional fees related to government investigation, amortization of purchased intangible, income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments and equity method investment loss from equity investee. We also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures in our guidance for the next quarter, including non-GAAP gross margin and operating expenses. We believe that these historical and forecast non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results or do not reflect our normal business operations. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as non-GAAP net income (loss) or non-GAAP operating expenses, do not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. In addition, we included the amount of income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments in the non-GAAP net income (loss) of reconciliation table for all periods presented as the management believes that such non-GAAP presentation provides useful information to investors, even though the amounts are not significant. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures both in the text in this press release and in the tables attached hereto. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
