Management Discussion & Analysis
- Revenue $4.8B, up 19% YoY from $4.0B in fiscal 2024
- Gross margin 42.0% vs 42.8% in fiscal 2024, decline driven by lower services margin and product mix shifts

Risk Factors
- Regulatory risk: heightened U.S.-China tensions causing tariffs, export controls, and restrictions disrupting supply chain and increasing costs
- Macroeconomic risk: revenue concentration with 50% from top 5 customers, including one cloud provider at 18%, vulnerable to spending cuts
- Operational risk: $826.2M inventory plus $2.1B non-cancellable purchase commitments exposes supply chain to mismatched demand and obsolete inventory
- Competitive risk: intense competition from larger vendors with broader offerings threatening incumbency and market share
- Financial risk: dependence on concentrated customers and supply chain partners creates exposure to customer financial instability and supplier disruptions
