FORWARD STOCK SPLIT
On September 30, 2024, we filed an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a ten-for-one forward split (the “Stock Split”) of our common stock without any change to its par value. The Amendment also effected a proportionate increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. Pursuant to Section 242(d) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, stockholder approval was not required in connection with the foregoing.
The Stock Split became effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30, 2024. Trading in the common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market commenced on a Stock Split-adjusted basis at the market open on October 1, 2024, under the existing trading symbol “SMCI.”
As a result of the Stock Split, every one (1) share of common stock issued and outstanding was automatically divided into ten (10) shares of common stock. The Stock Split did not modify any rights or preferences of the shares of the common stock. Proportionate adjustments were automatically made to the number of shares of common stock underlying our outstanding equity awards, equity incentive plans, and other existing agreements, as well as exercise or conversion prices, as applicable.
Unless noted, all references to shares of common stock and per share amounts contained in this Quarterly Report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Split.

Note 1. 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 (“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 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 year ended June 30, 2024, of Super Micro Computer, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated entities (collectively, the “Company”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by 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 position, 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, 2025.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Concentration of Supplier Risk
Certain materials used by the Company in the manufacturing of its products are available from a limited number of suppliers. Shortages could occur in these materials due to an interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry.

Purchases from Ablecom Technology, Inc. (“Ablecom”) and Compuware Technology, Inc. (“Compuware”), which are both related parties of the Company (see Note 9, “Related Party Transactions”), accounted for a combined 2.8 % and 4.0 % of total cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and a combined 3.4 % and 4.4 % of total cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Concentration of Customer Risk
The concentration of customer risk refers to the potential adverse impact on a business due to a high dependency on a limited number of customers. This risk arises when a significant portion of the Company's revenue is generated from a small group of clients. If any of these key customers reduce their orders, delay payments, or terminate their contracts, the business could face substantial financial instability.
Significant customer information is as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires that a public entity provide additional segment disclosures on an interim and annual basis. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements unless impracticable. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, and for the interim period beginning July 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosures.
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 the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements, which contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. The ASU affects a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
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 the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2027. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Note 2. Revenue
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue by type of product and geographical region to depict the nature, amount, and timing of revenue and cash flows. Service and software revenues, which are less than 10%, are not a significant component of total revenue and are aggregated with server and storage systems revenue.
The following is a summary of net sales by product type (in thousands):

Server and storage systems constitute an assembly and integration of subsystems and accessories, software, and related services. Subsystems and accessories are comprised of server boards, chassis and accessories.
Revenue related to services for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $57.2 million and $38.3 million, respectively, which is recognized over time ratably over the contract term. Revenue related to services for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $161.8 million and $110.7 million, respectively, which is recognized over time ratably over the contract term.

Contract Balances
Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when such right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Such contract assets are insignificant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and relate to amounts invoiced to or advance consideration received from customers, which precede the Company’s satisfaction of the associated performance obligations. The Company’s 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, 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. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, which was included in the opening deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2023, of $304.4 million, was $28.9 million and $104.1 million, respectively.
Deferred revenue increased $249.4 million as of March 31, 2025 as compared to June 30, 2024. This increase was mainly due to the deferral on invoiced amounts for service contracts during the period exceeding the recognized revenue from contracts entered into in prior periods. This was accompanied by a $116.7 million increase in non-refundable advance consideration or cash consideration received from customers which preceded the Company's satisfaction of the associated performance obligations relating to product sales which are expected to be fulfilled in the next 12 months.
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. The Company applies 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. These performance obligations generally consist of services, such as on-site services, including integration services and extended warranty services that are contracted for one year or less, and products for which control has not yet been transferred. For contracts with a duration of more than one year, the value of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $665.8 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately 53 % of such value in the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Company's outstanding 3.50 % Convertible Senior Notes (as amended, restated, and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2029 Convertible Notes”), and outstanding 2.25 % 2028 Convertible Senior Notes (the “2028 Convertible Notes”) are determined using the if-converted method. For the nine months ended March 31, 2025, shares issuable upon conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes were dilutive and were included within the numerator for interest and denominator for shares issuable upon conversion of the diluted net income per common share computation. For three months ended March 31, 2025, shares issuable upon conversion of 2028 Convertible Notes were anti-dilutive. For three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, shares issuable upon conversion of 2029 Convertible Notes were anti-dilutive.

Note 5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company classifies its financial instruments, except for its 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 the Company uses quoted prices in active markets or alternative pricing sources and models using market observable inputs to determine their fair value.
Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis
The financial instruments of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are included in cash equivalents and other assets. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their relatively short maturities.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, 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):

The carrying amounts of money market funds and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values due to their relatively short maturities.
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 earnings. 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, has been recorded in Other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, an unrealized loss of $1.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, has been recorded in Other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s investment in an auction rate security is classified as an available for sale security within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the determination of its fair value was not based on observable inputs as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The Company is using the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of the auction rate security at each period end and using the following assumptions: (i) the expected yield based on observable market rate of similar securities, (ii) the security coupon rate that is reset monthly, (iii) the estimated holding period and (iv) a liquidity discount. The liquidity discount assumption is based on the management estimate of lack of marketability discount of similar securities and is determined based on the analysis of financial market trends over time, recent redemptions of securities and other market activities. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis and applying a change of either plus or minus 100 basis points in the liquidity discount would not result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of the auction rate security as of March 31, 2025.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no

On a quarterly basis, the Company also evaluates the current expected credit loss by considering factors such as historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions, and reasonable economic forecasts that affect collectability. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the credit losses related to the Company’s investments were not material.
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 financial instruments in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company's non-marketable equity securities consist of investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company accounts for these investments at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments by the same issuer.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment to identify impairment indicators and records an impairment identified to Other (expense) income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not not record an impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and recorded $1.8 million of impairment during the nine months ended March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company had $54.6 million and $54.6 million of investments in privately held companies recorded in Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for which the measurement alternative was elected.
Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
The Company estimates the fair value of outstanding debt, including its 2029 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes for disclosure purposes on a recurring basis.
As of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, our total lines of credit and term loans of $107.0 million and $476.4 million, respectively, are reported at amortized cost. The outstanding debt was categorized as Level 2 as it is not actively traded. The carrying value approximates fair value.
The estimated fair value as of March 31, 2025 of the 2029 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes were $1,689.5 million and $730.4 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2029 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes was determined through consideration of quoted market prices. The 2029 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes are categorized as Level 2 since their fair value was based on Level 2 inputs of quoted prices.

Note 7. Convertible Notes
2029 Convertible Notes
In February 2024, the Company issued $1,725.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Original 2029 Convertible Notes”). On February 11, 2025, the Company entered into privately negotiated subscription agreements with certain holders of the Original 2029 Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Note SPAs”) to, among other things, amend certain terms of, and obtain waivers with respect to, the Original 2029 Convertible Notes and to issue $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes (as further described below). On February 12, 2025, pricing of the amended 2029 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes was set pursuant to the Convertible Note SPAs, establishing a binding commitment by the parties to the Convertible Note SPAs. On February 20, 2025, the Company amended and supplemented that certain indenture governing the Original 2029 Convertible Notes (the “Original 2029 Notes Indenture”), dated as of February 27, 2024, by and between the Company U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) by entering into a first supplemental indenture and a second supplemental indenture (the Original 2029 Notes Indenture, as so amended, the “2029 Convertible Notes Indenture”), in each case with the Trustee. Pursuant to the 2029 Convertible Notes Indenture, the 2029 Convertible Notes were amended to (i) bear interest from February 20, 2025 at an annual rate of 3.50 %, payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1, beginning on September 1, 2025 and (ii) include an updated conversion rate of 11.9842 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Convertible Notes which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $83.44 per share of the Company’s common stock, in each case subject to adjustment as set forth in 2029 Convertible Notes Indenture (such amendments, the “Amendments”). The 2029 Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. The other terms of the 2029 Convertible Notes remained substantially unchanged. The amendment was treated as an extinguishment of the original debt and an issuance of the new debt, in which a debt extinguishment loss of $30.3 million was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments for certain events as described in the 2029 Convertible Notes Indenture.

In connection with the Amendment, the Company entered into agreements to amend certain terms of the Capped Call Transactions. Refer to discussion below under “Capped Calls”.
2028 Convertible Notes
On February 20, 2025, the Company issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.25 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Convertible Notes”) pursuant to an indenture by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “2028 Convertible Notes Indenture”). The Company received proceeds from the offering of approximately $700.0 million before deducting any issuance costs and fees payable to the placement agents. The 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on July 15, 2028, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest from February 20, 2025 at an annual rate of 2.25 %, payable semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, beginning on July 15, 2025. The 2028 Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 16.3784 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $61.06 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments for certain events as described in the 2028 Convertible Notes Indenture. The Company may pay special interest, if any, at its election as the sole remedy relating to a failure to comply with its reporting obligations and will be obligated to pay additional interest, if any, under the circumstances set forth in the 2028 Convertible Notes Indenture. The 2028 Convertible Notes do not contain financial maintenance covenants.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the 2028 Convertible Notes Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2028 Convertible Notes, at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their 2028 Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.
The 2028 Convertible Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after March 1, 2026 and on or before the 20 th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 150 % of the conversion price for a specified period of time.

The 2028 Convertible Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “events of default” (as defined in the 2028 Convertible Notes Indenture).

As of March 31, 2025, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2028 Convertible Notes to convert their notes early had been met. Therefore, the 2028 Convertible Notes are classified as long-term debt.
The Company accounted for the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as no other embedded features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives.
The carrying value of the 2028 Convertible Notes, net of unamortized issuance costs of $15.8 million, was $684.2 million as of March 31, 2025. Interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs was $0.5 million and for interest was $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The effective interest rate is 2.97 %.

Capped Calls
On February 12, 2025, in connection with the Amendments, the Company also entered into agreements to amend certain terms of the privately negotiated capped call transactions (collectively and as amended, the “Capped Call Transactions”) originally entered into with certain financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”) on February 22, 2024. The amendments, among other things, make certain adjustments to the economic terms of the capped call transactions, including the strike price and cap price. The strike price, after giving effect to the amendments, is initially $83.44 per share of the Company's common stock. The cap price, after giving effect to the amendments, is initially $94.17 per share of the Company's common stock, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the amended capped calls. The number of shares underlying the Capped Calls increased from 7.455 to 11.984 per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Convertible Notes.
The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the 2029 Convertible Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset, in each case subject to a cap.

The Company has entered into lease agreements with related parties. See Note 9 “Related Party Transactions” for further discussion.
Note 9. Related Party Transactions
The Company has a variety of business relationships with Ablecom and Compuware, both of which are Taiwan-based corporations. Ablecom is one of the Company’s major contract manufacturers; Compuware is both a distributor of the Company’s products and a contract manufacturer for the Company. Ablecom’s Chief Executive Officer, Steve Liang, is the brother of Charles Liang, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. As of March 31, 2025, 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 of the Company, collectively owned approximately 10.5 % of Ablecom’s capital stock. 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. Neither Charles Liang nor Sara Liu owns any capital stock of Compuware and the Company does not own any of Ablecom or Compuware’s capital stock. In addition, a sibling of Yih-Shyan (Wally) Liaw, who is the Company's Senior Vice President, Business Development and a director of the Company, owns approximately 11.7 % of Ablecom’s capital stock and 8.7 % of Compuware’s capital stock.
In October 2018, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Charles Liang, personally borrowed approximately $12.9 million from Chien-Tsun Chang, the spouse of Steve Liang. The loan is unsecured, has 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 the Company's common stock that he held. The lenders called the loans in October 2018, following the suspension of the Company's common stock from trading on Nasdaq in August 2018 and the decline in the market price of the Company's common stock in October 2018. As of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the amount due on the unsecured loan (including principal and accrued interest) was approximately $16.7 million and $16.4 million, respectively.

Dealings with Ablecom
The Company has entered into a series of agreements with Ablecom, including multiple product development, production and service agreements, credit agreements, product manufacturing agreements, manufacturing services agreements and lease agreements for warehouse space.
Under these agreements, the Company outsources to Ablecom a portion of its design activities and a significant part of its server chassis manufacturing as well as an immaterial portion of other components. Ablecom manufactured approximately 95.0 % and 95.2 % of the chassis purchased by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 95.2 % and 92.7 % of the chassis purchased by the Company during the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. With respect to design activities, Ablecom generally agrees to design certain agreed-upon products according to the Company’s specifications, and further agrees to build the tools needed to manufacture the products. The Company pays Ablecom for the design and engineering services, and further agrees to pay Ablecom for the tooling. The Company retains full ownership of any intellectual property resulting from the design of these products and tooling.
With respect to the manufacturing aspects of the relationship, Ablecom purchases most of the materials needed to manufacture the chassis from third parties and the Company provides 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 the Company. For the components purchased from the Company, Ablecom sells the components back to the Company at a price equal to the price at which the Company sold the components to Ablecom. There is no revenue recognized by the Company from these transactions. The Company and Ablecom frequently review and negotiate the prices of the chassis the Company purchases from Ablecom. In addition to inventory purchases, the Company also incurs other costs associated with design services, tooling and other miscellaneous costs from Ablecom.
The Company’s exposure to financial loss as a result of its involvement with Ablecom is limited to potential losses on its purchase orders in the event of an unforeseen decline in the market price and/or demand of the Company’s products such that the Company incurs a loss on the sale or cannot sell the products. Outstanding cancelable and non-cancelable purchase orders from the Company to Ablecom on March 31, 2025 were $54.4 million and $25.6 million, respectively, and outstanding cancelable and non-cancelable purchase orders from the Company to Ablecom on June 30, 2024 were $99.0 million and $58.8 million, respectively, effectively representing the exposure to financial loss. The Company does 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 the Company incorporates into its products, if Ablecom were to suddenly be unable to manufacture chassis for the Company, the Company’s business could suffer if the Company is unable to quickly qualify substitute suppliers who can supply high-quality chassis to the Company in volume and at acceptable prices. The Company has extended a $10.0 million trade credit line with a net 30 days payment terms to Ablecom through a credit agreement that outlines the terms and conditions governing their business dealings.
Dealings with Compuware
The Company appointed Compuware as a non-exclusive authorized distributor of the Company’s products in Taiwan, China and Australia. Compuware assumes the responsibility of installing the Company's products at the site of the end customer, if required, and administers customer support in exchange for a discount from the Company's standard price for its purchases.
The Company also has 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. The Company has extended a $65.0 million trade credit line with a net 60 days payment terms to Compuware through a credit agreement that outlines the terms and conditions governing their business dealings.

The Company pays Compuware for the design and engineering services, and further agrees to pay Compuware for the tooling. The Company retains 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 outside markets and uses these materials to manufacture the products and then sell those products to the Company. The Company and Compuware frequently review and negotiate the prices of the power supplies the Company purchases from Compuware.
Compuware also manufactures motherboards, backplanes and other components used on printed circuit boards for the Company. The Company sells 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 the Company at a purchase price equal to the price at which the Company 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 the Company from these transactions. The Company and Compuware frequently review and negotiate the amount of the “manufacturing value added” fee that will be included in the price of the products the Company purchases from Compuware. In addition to the inventory purchases, the Company also incurs costs associated with design services, tooling assets, and miscellaneous costs.
The Company’s exposure to financial loss as a result of its involvement with Compuware is limited to potential losses on its purchase orders in the event of an unforeseen decline in the market price and/or demand of the Company’s products such that the Company incurs a loss on the sale or cannot sell the products. Outstanding cancelable and non-cancelable purchase orders from the Company to Compuware on March 31, 2025 were $109.1 million and $81.9 million, respectively, and outstanding cancelable and non-cancelable purchase orders from the Company to Compuware on June 30, 2024 were $129.7 million and $93.5 million, respectively, effectively representing the exposure to financial loss. The Company does 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 together 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”). Prior to the Leadtek Investment, none of the Company’s related parties had direct or indirect material interests in any transactions in which the Company was 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. At the time of Leadtek Investment, Leadtek was, and it continues to be, an authorized reseller of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company engaged in transactions in which it sold $0.2 million of servers to Leadtek and did not purchase any graphics cards from Leadtek. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025, the Company engaged in transactions in which it sold $0.5 million of servers to Leadtek and purchased $0.5 million of graphics cards from Leadtek.
Dealings with Investment in a Corporate Venture
In October 2016, the Company entered into agreements pursuant to which the Company contributed certain technology rights in connection with an investment in a privately-held company (the “Corporate Venture”) located in China to expand the Company’s presence in China. The Corporate Venture is approximately 30 % owned by the Company and approximately 70 % owned by another company in China. The transaction was closed in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and the investment is accounted for using the equity method. As such, the Corporate Venture is also a related party.
The Company monitors the investment for events or circumstances indicative of potential impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values if it determines that an impairment charge is required. The carrying value of the equity investment in the corporate venture was $7.7 million and $4.6 million as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, recorded in Other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company performed its impairment analysis on this investment and concluded the carrying value is not impaired as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024. No

The Company’s share of intra-entity profits on the products that remained unsold by the Corporate Venture as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 have been eliminated and have reduced the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Corporate Venture. To the extent that the elimination of intra-entity profits reduces the investment balance below zero, such amounts are recorded within accrued liabilities.

Equity Incentive Plan
On June 5, 2020, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Original 2020 Plan”). The maximum number of shares available under the Original 2020 Plan was 50,000,000 , plus 10,450,000 shares of common stock that remained available for future awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), at the time of adoption of the Original 2020 Plan. No other awards can be granted under the 2016 Plan and 72,460,000 shares of common stock remained reserved for outstanding awards issued under the 2016 Plan at the time of adoption of the Original 2020 Plan. On May 18, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment and restatement of the Original 2020 Plan which, among other things, increased the number of shares available for award under the 2020 Plan by an additional 20,000,000 shares.
On January 22, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a further amendment and restatement of the Original 2020 Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “2020 Plan”) which, among other things, further increased the number of shares available for award under the 2020 Plan by an additional 15,000,000 shares.
Under the 2020 Plan, the Company can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents, and certain other awards, including those denominated or payable in, or otherwise based on, the Company’s common stock. The exercise price per share for incentive stock options granted to employees owning shares representing more than 10 % of the Company’s outstanding voting stock at the time of grant cannot be less than 110 % of the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date. Nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options granted to all other persons are granted at a price not less than 100 % of the fair value. Options generally expire years after the date of grant. Stock options and RSUs generally vest over years; 25 % at the end of one year and one sixteenth per quarter thereafter.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 2,652,165 authorized shares available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.
Offerings of Common Stock
On December 5, 2023, the Company completed a public offering of 24,158,050 shares of the Company's common stock at $26.20 per share, with 23,151,050 shares sold by the Company and 1,007,000 shares sold by selling stockholders.
The Company received net proceeds of approximately $582.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.
On March 22, 2024, the Company completed a public offering of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $87.50 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $1,731.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.
Determining Fair Value
The fair value of the Company's RSUs are based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-option-pricing model. This fair value is then amortized ratably over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The key inputs in using the Black-Scholes-option-pricing model were as follows:
Expected Term—The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on the Company’s historical experience.
Expected Volatility—Expected volatility is based on the Company’s implied and historical volatility.
Expected Dividend—The Black-Scholes valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input and the Company has no plans to pay dividends.

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is based on the United States Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of option.
The fair value of stock option grants for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Stock Option Activity
2021 CEO Performance Award
In March 2021, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the grant of a stock option award for 10,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s CEO (the “2021 CEO Performance Stock Option”). As of March 31, 2025, the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option had fully vested based upon achievement of operational and stock price milestones as follows:

(1)The vesting of the first tranche of 2,000,000 option shares under the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option, representing one-fifth of such award, was certified by the Company’s Compensation Committee in August 2022.
(2)The vesting of the second tranche of 2,000,000 option shares under the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option representing one-fifth of such award was certified by the Company’s Compensation Committee in October 2022.
(3)The vesting of the third tranche of 2,000,000 option shares under the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option representing one-fifth of such award was certified by the Company’s Compensation Committee in January 2023.
(4)The vesting of the fourth tranche of 2,000,000 option shares under the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option representing one-fifth of such award was certified by the Company’s Compensation Committee in September 2023.
(5)The vesting of the fifth tranche of 2,000,000 option shares under the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option representing one-fifth of such award was certified by the Company’s Compensation Committee in February 2024.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option of $0.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option.
2023 CEO Performance Award
In November 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of a stock option award for 5,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s CEO (the “2023 CEO Performance Stock Option”). The 2023 CEO Performance Stock Option has five vesting tranches with a vesting schedule based entirely on the attainment of operational milestones (performance conditions) and market conditions, assuming (1) continued employment either as the CEO or in such capacity as agreed upon between the Company’s CEO and the Board and (2) service through each vesting date. Each of the five vesting tranches of the 2023 CEO Performance Stock Option will vest upon certification by the Compensation Committee that both (i) the market price milestone for such tranche, which begins at $45.00 per share for the first tranche and increases up to $110.00 per share thereafter (based on a 60 trading day average stock price), has been achieved, and (ii) any one of five operational milestones focused on total revenue, as reported under U.S. GAAP, have been achieved for the previous four consecutive fiscal quarters. Upon vesting and exercise, including the payment of the exercise price of $45.00 per share, prior to November 14, 2026, the Company’s CEO must hold shares that he acquires until November 14, 2026, other than those shares sold pursuant to a cashless exercise where shares are simultaneously sold to pay for the exercise price and any required tax withholding.

(2)On March 2, 2024, the Compensation Committee certified achievement of the $45 stock price milestone based upon the 60 trading day average stock price from November 29, 2023 through February 26, 2024.

(6)On February 27, 2025, the Compensation Committee certified achievement of the $13.0 billion revenue milestone based on the Company’s previous four consecutive fiscal quarters revenue as of June 30, 2024.
(7)On April 22, 2025, the Compensation Committee certified achievement of the $15.0 billion revenue milestone based on the Company’s previous four consecutive fiscal quarters revenue as of September 30, 2024.
(8)On April 22, 2025, the Compensation Committee certified achievement of the $17.0 billion revenue milestone based on the Company’s previous four consecutive fiscal quarters revenue as of September 30, 2024.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2023 CEO Performance Stock Option of $0.9 million and $12.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $6.4 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2023 CEO Performance Stock Option. The unrecognized compensation cost as of March 31, 2025 is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.75 years. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2023 CEO Performance Stock Option of $16.9 million and $19.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $36.9 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2023 CEO Performance Stock Option. The unrecognized compensation cost as of March 31, 2024 is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.5 years.
On the respective grant dates of each of the 2021 CEO Performance Award and the 2023 CEO Performance Award, a Monte Carlo simulation was used to determine for each tranche of each award (i) a fixed expense amount for such tranche and (ii) the future time when the market price milestone for such tranche was expected to be achieved, or its “expected market price milestone achievement time.” Separately, based on a subjective assessment of the Company’s future financial performance, each quarter, the Company will determine, using a Monte Carlo simulation, whether achievement is probable for each operational milestone that has not previously been achieved or deemed probable of achievement, and, if so, the future time when the Company expects to achieve that operational milestone, or its “expected operational milestone achievement time.” When the Company first determines that an operational milestone has become probable of being achieved, the Company will allocate the entire expense for the related tranche over the number of quarters between the grant date and the then-applicable “expected vesting time.” The “expected vesting time” at any given time is the later of (i) the expected operational milestone achievement time (if the related operational milestone has not yet been achieved) and (ii) the expected market price milestone achievement time (if the related market price milestone has not yet been achieved). The Company will immediately recognize a catch-up expense for all accumulated expenses from the respective grant date through the quarter in which the operational milestone was first deemed probable of being achieved. Each quarter thereafter, the Company will recognize the prorated portion of the then-remaining expense for the tranche based on the number of quarters between such quarter and the then-applicable expected vesting time, except that upon vesting of a tranche, all remaining expenses for that tranche will be immediately recognized.

Note 11. Income Taxes
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $5.8 million and $137.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and tax benefits of $(20.0 ) million and provision of $61.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was 5.1 % and 13.9 % for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and (5.2 )% and 6.7 % for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 are higher than these for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the stock compensation tax deduction driven by the decrease in the Company's stock price. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months of fiscal years 2025 and 2024 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.
The Company believes that it has adequately provided reserves for all uncertain tax positions; however, amounts asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than the Company’s current position. Accordingly, the Company’s 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, 2022 through 2024. Various states' statutes of limitations remain open in general for tax years ended June 30, 2020 through 2024. Certain statutes of limitations in major foreign jurisdictions remain open for the tax years ended June 30, 2019 through 2024. It is reasonably possible that the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $3.7 million, in the next 12 months, due to the lapse of the statute of limitations in certain jurisdictions. These adjustments, if recognized, would positively impact the Company's effective tax rate, and would be recognized as additional tax benefits.

Litigation and claims
On August 30, 2024, three putative class action complaints were 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, Menditto v. Super Micro Computer, Inc., et al., No. 3:24-cv-06149, and Spatz v. Super Micro Computer, Inc., et al., No. 5:24-cv-06193). On October 4, 2024, a fourth putative class action complaint was filed in the same court (Norfolk County Retirement System v. Super Micro Computer, Inc., et al., No. 5:24-cv-06980). On October 18, 2024, a fifth putative class action complaint was filed in the same court (Covey Financial Inc., et al. v. Super Micro Computer, Inc., et al., No. 5:24-cv-07274). 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 Spatz and Menditto plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed their respective complaints without prejudice against all Defendants, ending the suits. The Averza and Covey Financial complaints are pending Court appointment of a lead plaintiff. The Company has not been served with the Norfolk County Retirement System complaint. 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 20, 2024, a similar putative derivative lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, captioned Spatz 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. On January 14, 2025, the Court in the Hollin Action granted plaintiffs’ motion to consolidate the five previously stayed Federal Derivative Litigation actions. On March 24, 2025, the Court in the Spatz Action entered a Stipulation and Order staying all proceedings and consolidating the three State Court Derivative Litigation actions. 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.

The matter is too preliminary to form a judgment as to whether the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any.
In late 2024, the Company received subpoenas from the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking a variety of documents following the publication of a short seller report in August 2024. The Company is cooperating with these document requests and there have been no charges brought against any person as of the date of this filing.
Other legal proceedings and indemnifications
In addition to the matters described above, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various legal proceedings, disputes, claims, and regulatory or governmental inquiries and investigations arising from the normal course of business activities. The resolution of any such matters have not had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity as of March 31, 2025 and any prior periods.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its current and former directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, the Company has 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 the Company 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, the Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance coverage to reduce its exposure to such obligations.

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. We are a Total IT Solutions manufacturer with server, AI, storage, IoT, switch systems, software, and support services. Supermicro's motherboard, power, and chassis design expertise further enables our development and production, enabling next-generation innovation from cloud to edge for our global customers. Our products are designed and manufactured in-house (in the United States, Taiwan, and the Netherlands), leveraging global operations for scale and efficiency and optimized to improve TCO and reduce environmental impact (Green Computing). The award-winning portfolio of Server Building Block Solutions allows customers to optimize for their exact workload and application by selecting from a broad family of systems built from our flexible and reusable building blocks that support a comprehensive set of form factors, processors, memory, graphic processing units (“GPUs”), storage, networking, power, and cooling solutions (air-conditioned, free air cooling or liquid cooling).
We commenced operations in 1993 and have been profitable every year since inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our net income was $108.8 million and $402.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our net income was $853.7 million and $855.4 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 offering and customer service and support, particularly as we focus more on large enterprise and data center customers. A key component of our strategy is our Data Center Building Block Solutions, which significantly reduces data center build time and supports the full integration of AI computing, server, storage, networking, rack, cabling, liquid cooling, end-to-end management software, onsite deployment services and maintenance. We must also develop our sales partners and distribution channels to further expand our market share.
SMCI | Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 40
We measure our financial success based on various indicators, including growth in net sales, gross profit margin, operating margin, and growth in net income per common share. Among the key non-financial indicators of our success is our ability to rapidly introduce new products and deliver the latest application-optimized server and storage solutions. To achieve this, we work closely with the developers and manufacturers of key components, ensuring we leverage emerging technologies as they become available. Historically, our ability to quickly introduce new products has allowed us to capitalize on technology transitions such as the launch of new GPUs, microprocessors and storage technologies. As a result, 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 focus also influences our research and development expenditures as we continue to invest in both our current and future product development efforts.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Centers
The growing use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), which requires enhanced datacenter capabilities, has substantially increased demand for our products. We expect this trend to continue, with further demand for datacenter expansion driven by the AI market. As a result, we will continue to enhance our product capabilities and expand our service offerings to address the growing demand in the AI market and datacenter 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
Our business, results of operations, and financial outlook have been, and may continue to be, impacted by adverse macroeconomic conditions and uncertainties. These challenges include labor shortages, global supply chain disruptions, tariffs, inflation, higher interest rates, fluctuations in capital markets, and ongoing global economic and geopolitical developments. These challenges could, among other things, impact demand for our products as well as our ability to supply products, both of which could impact net sales, affect our operating costs due to foreign exchange rate movements and impact our margins due to exogenous factors such as new and increased tariffs. 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, 2025 and 2024:
•Net sales increased by 19.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•Gross margin decreased to 9.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 15.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
•Operating expenses increased by 33.9% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 and were equal to 6.4% and 5.6% of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
•Effective tax rate increased to 5.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from (5.2)% in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis based on a) historical experience, and b) assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and are not readily apparent from other sources, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Because these estimates can vary depending on the situation, actual results may differ from these estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and statement of cash flows.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in our 2024 10-K.
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 and 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 central processing units (“CPUs”), GPUs, solid state drives (“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.
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 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.
SMCI | Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 42
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 (Expense) Income, Net and Interest Expense
Other (expense) income, net consists primarily of interest earned on our investments, cash balances and foreign exchange gains and losses. Interest expense represents interest expense on our term loans and lines of credit and amortization of the 2029 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes issuance costs.
Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
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 Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The $907.0 million increase in cost of sales can primarily be attributed to an increase of $772.5 million in costs of materials, contract manufacturing expenses, and the expedited recognition of costs in order to accelerate time-to-market for new products that primarily resulted in the increase in net sales volume. Additionally, there was a $109.6 million increase in inventory write-down adjustment, mainly from prior generations of GPUs and related components, along with additional reserves established during the period. Further, overhead costs increased by $18.0 million and freight costs increased by a $6.9 million, primarily due to the increase in net sales volume.
The 5.9% decrease in the gross margin percentage was primarily due to our strategy to offer competitive pricing to gain market share, increased competition, a shift in product focus towards modular system designs that offer scalability and flexibility to meet the diverse needs of data centers, and a change in customer mix, including an increased presence in international markets.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Research and development expenses. The $46.7 million increase in research and development expenses was driven by a $41.9 million increase in employee-related costs driven by our planned workforce expansion as we continue to invest in key talent, primarily comprised of additional stock compensation expense and salary increases. In addition, there was a $5.1 million increase in product development costs to support next generation products and technologies. We believe that research and development expenses will continue to increase as we continue to expand our workforce and invest in key talent to stay at the forefront of development of next generation products and technologies.
Sales and marketing expenses. The $10.3 million increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by a $8.6 million increase in employee-related costs, driven by increased strategic hiring across sales and marketing functions to support our growth and sales strategy, primarily comprised of additional stock-based compensation expense and salary increases. In addition, there was $13.8 million increase in advertising and other expenses, which was partially offset by a $12.1 million increase in marketing development funds received.
General and administrative expenses. The $17.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses was driven by a $19.0 million increase in professional and service fees primarily from additional external accounting, tax, legal, and advisory services necessary to support our external reporting related activities. This was partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in employee-related costs, primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense. We believe that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we continue to expand our workforce and invest in key talent.

Research and development expenses. The $117.2 million increase in research and development expenses was driven by a $100.4 million increase in employee-related costs driven by our planned workforce expansion as we continue to invest in key talent, primarily comprised of stock-based compensation expense and salary increases. In addition, there was a $22.1 million increase in product development costs to support next generation products and technologies, which was partially offset by a $5.3 million increase in research and development credits received from certain suppliers and customers. We believe that research and development expenses will continue to increase as we continue to expand our workforce and invest in key talent to stay at the forefront of developing next generation products and technologies.
Sales and marketing expenses. The $74.6 million increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by a $47.2 million increase in employee-related costs, driven by increased strategic hiring across sales and marketing functions to support our growth and sales strategy, primarily comprised of additional stock-based compensation expense and salary increases. In addition, there was a $45.0 million increase in advertising and other expenses, which was partially offset by a $17.6 million increase in marketing development funds received.
General and administrative expenses. The $76.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses was driven by a $55.1 million increase in professional and service fees primarily from additional external accounting, tax, legal, and advisory services necessary to support our external reporting related activities. In addition, there was a $13.2 million increase in employee-related costs driven by increased strategic hiring across various finance and other functions, comprised primarily of stock-based compensation expense and salary increases, and an $8.0 million increase in facilities related expenses. We believe that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we continue to expand our workforce and invest in key talent.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The $28.3 million decrease in other (expense) income, net and interest expense was primarily driven by a $30.3 million loss on extinguishment of the 2029 convertible notes due to the amendment of the existing notes (see Note 7 “Convertible Notes”), and a $6.2 million decrease in foreign exchange gain. The decrease was partially offset by a $9.8 million increase in interest income.
The increase in interest expense of $7.2 million was primarily driven by interest charges on the 2029 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes of $11.5 million, which was partially offset by decrease in interest expenses associated with the Company's reduced utilization of its lines of credit of $4.3 million.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The $6.9 million decrease in other (expense) income, net and interest expense was primarily attributable to a $30.3 million decrease from the loss on extinguishment of the 2029 convertible notes due to the amendment of the existing notes (see Note 7 “Convertible Notes”), partially offset by a $22.9 million increase in interest income.
The increase in interest expense of $21.1 million was primarily driven by interest charges on the 2029 Convertible Notes and 2028 Convertible Notes of $14.4 million, as well as an increase in interest expenses associated with the Company's line of credit of $6.7 million.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
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, 2025, was higher than that for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the stock compensation tax deduction for the three months ended March 31, 2025 driven by the decrease in our stock price.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The income tax provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 was higher than that for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the stock compensation tax deduction for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 driven by the decrease in our stock price.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our growth primarily through funds generated from operations, borrowing facilities, the sale of our common stock, and the issuance of convertible notes. Recent factors contributing to changes in liquidity include an increased need for working capital to support higher inventory levels required for our growing revenues and, to a lesser extent, longer supply chain lead times for certain key components. Our cash and cash equivalents were $2.5 billion and $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Of these amounts, cash and cash equivalents held in foreign locations were $728.1 million and $337.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Amounts held outside of the U.S. are typically used to meet non-U.S. liquidity needs. Repatriations of these funds is 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 from available credit facilities and internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to support our operating activities, as well as maturing debt and interest payments, for the 12 months following the filing of this Quarterly Report. We continue to assess financing options that may be necessary to support the growth of our business.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $2,634.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a $2,505.0 million increase in working capital and a $130.8 million increase in non-cash items, comprised of stock-based compensation expense and the loss on extinguishment of our 2029 convertible notes. The increase in working capital was due to a $3,136.9 million increase in inventory in anticipation of planned future shipments. Accounts receivable increased by $596.7 million due to stronger cash collections in the current period, partially offset by a $1,121.3 million decrease in accounts payable, resulting from the timing of vendor payments during the current period. Other operating assets and liabilities decreased by $107.3 million, driven by movements in prepaid expenses, income tax payable, accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $33.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a reduction in investments in marketable securities by $27.7 million, and a decrease in capital expenditures on property, plant, and equipment of $5.8 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $3,478.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $2,314.0 million reduction in proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of issuance costs. In addition, net proceeds from convertible notes decreased by $901.2 million, reflecting the difference between the issuances of the 2029 Convertible Notes in February 2024 and the 2028 Convertible Notes in February 2025, net of the purchase of capped calls. There was also a $252.7 million decrease in proceeds from borrowings, net of repayment compared to the prior period.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources
Refer to Note 6 “Lines of Credit and Term Loans”, in our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for further information on our outstanding bank debt.
On February 20, 2025, we (i) closed the offering of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes and (ii) executed a first supplemental indenture and second supplemental indenture governing to the 2029 Convertible Notes, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company amended certain terms of, and obtained waivers with respect to, the Original 2029 Convertible Notes. Refer to Note 7 “Convertible Notes”, in our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for further information on the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes and the amendment of the terms of the 2029 Convertible Notes.
Capital Expenditure Requirements
We anticipate our capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2025 will be in range of $45.0 million to $55.0 million, relating primarily 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 revenue growth, productivity, expenses, service levels and customer retention).
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced software and services offerings and investments in our manufacturing and office facilities and enhancements to our IT system infrastructure.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
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, 2025, 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 term loans and revolving lines of credit. The interest rates for the term loans and the revolving lines of credit ranged from 1.33% to 5.95% at March 31, 2025 and 1.33% to 7.33% at June 30, 2024. Based on the outstanding principal indebtedness of $107.0 million under our credit facilities as of March 31, 2025, we believe that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on our results of operations.
Foreign Currency Risk
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, and do not currently engage in foreign currency hedging transactions. The functional currency of our subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Taiwan 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. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gain for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 was $6.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
SMCI | Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 51
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) 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 the period covered by this Quarterly Report. 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 or submit 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. We carried out an evaluation under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weaknesses 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 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, 2024. 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, we identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, which are unremdiated as of March 31, 2025:
(i) information technology general controls for certain systems that support the Company's financial reporting process that were not appropriately identified, designed or implemented; (ii) controls to address segregation of duties conflicts which were not properly designed and appropriately implemented; (iii) controls and documentation thereof, over the review and approval of manual journal entries that were not properly designed and appropriately implemented to prevent unauthorized access to post journal entries; (iv) controls over the completeness and accuracy of information produced by the entity impacting multiple financial statement areas that were not properly documented; and (v) management 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 leasing arrangements and new related party transactions.
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 position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
(b) Remediation Plan
We have identified and are implementing 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 such remediation is complete. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we began to implement changes designed to improve our internal controls over financial reporting and to remediate the material weaknesses, including, but not limited to:
SMCI | Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 52
•Enhancing our Accounting organization’s competencies, by adding additional qualified leadership personnel with strong technical accounting, external reporting and governance experience; specifically;
◦identified and hired a Vice President who is qualified to lead our technical accounting, external reporting and global internal controls compliance functions;
◦reassessing our accounting procedures and related information provided by entity documentation, and, as part of the financial reporting process, are 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; and
◦replaced certain existing financial personnel with appropriate qualified resources in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to ensure that procedures are implemented, adequate reviews are performed, and financial information as presented is accurate.
•The design of a global learning management and communication system, including working with various service providers to develop appropriate trainings, across various areas, including Finance, Compliance, Information Technology and Sales, to our global workforce to ensure that our accounting and finance personnel stay current on a wide-variety of areas, and are focused on sufficiently documenting our internal control over the completeness and accuracy of the information we use to support our financial reporting.
•Establishing standardized policies and procedures for manual journal entry creation and posting, including clear documentation and approval requirements based on the risk profile of the financial statement line item impacted, and analyzing manual journal entry approval workflow requirements against SAP functionality and automation solutions, including enforcing user roles and access controls to ensure oversight and prevent unauthorized entries.
•Reviewing our IT architecture and organization, with an increased emphasis on automation of manual processes, thereby strengthening our overall information technology related processes and controls.
The process of implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and regulatory environments. Further, we are required 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 progress has been made to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we are still in the process of implementing these processes, procedures and controls. Additional time is required to complete the implementation 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 that these controls are operating effectively.
(c) 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, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
However, as noted above, we will be implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address the material weakness described above.
