Insights

The reported net revenue decline of 38% over fiscal 2022 for MaxLinear, Inc. indicates a significant contraction in the company's sales, which is a critical measure of its performance and future prospects. The relatively stable gross margins on both GAAP and non-GAAP bases, with only slight decreases, suggest that MaxLinear has managed to maintain its pricing power and cost control in the production of its integrated circuits, despite the revenue shortfall.

However, the substantial increase in GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue, from 42% in fiscal 2022 to 61% in fiscal 2023, raises concerns about the company's scalability and operational efficiency. The shift from a GAAP income from operations of 16% to a loss of 6% of net revenue year-over-year is a red flag that may worry stakeholders about the company's profitability trajectory. The non-GAAP figures, while more favorable, still reflect a significant decline in income from operations, from 33.0% to 15.5% of net revenue.

For investors, the decrease in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from $4.23 in fiscal 2022 to $1.10 in fiscal 2023 is a crucial indicator of diminished profitability on a per-share basis, which could impact the stock's valuation. The company's outlook for the first quarter of 2024, with expected net revenue of $85 million to $105 million, indicates a potential further decline in sales, which may affect investor confidence and the stock's performance in the short term.

MaxLinear's focus on wireless infrastructure, which grew by 30% over the previous year, demonstrates a strategic emphasis on a segment with strong growth potential. The company's optimism for 2024, based on product innovations in wireless and optical datacenter network infrastructure, Wi-Fi, ethernet and fiber broadband access gateways, suggests that MaxLinear is positioning itself to capitalize on the expanding demand for high-speed connectivity solutions.

The reference to market headwinds in broadband and connectivity turning into tailwinds highlights the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the potential for recovery as customer inventory levels normalize. The anticipated benefits from incentive programs could stimulate demand for MaxLinear's products, providing a more favorable business environment.

Understanding the industry context, such as the inventory rationalization mentioned by the CEO, is essential for stakeholders to gauge the timing and magnitude of a potential rebound in sales. If MaxLinear's product innovations align with market trends, such as the shift towards 5G and increased data center investments, the company could be well-positioned to benefit from these industry tailwinds in the medium to long term.

The financial results of MaxLinear reflect broader economic trends impacting the semiconductor industry, including supply chain disruptions and fluctuating demand for consumer electronics. The company's reported decline in year-over-year revenue and its cautious revenue outlook for Q1 2024 may be symptomatic of these macroeconomic challenges.

MaxLinear's ability to maintain solid gross margins despite a revenue downturn suggests resilience in the face of cost pressures, which could be attributed to strategic sourcing and inventory management. The company's emphasis on product innovation and diversification into growing segments like wireless infrastructure may serve as a hedge against sector-specific downturns.

However, the increased operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue point to potential inefficiencies or increased investment in research and development, which could have long-term benefits if it results in competitive product offerings. The company's future performance will likely depend on how well it adapts to the evolving economic landscape and whether its strategic investments yield the anticipated growth.

Management Commentary

In the fourth quarter, we delivered $125.4 million in revenues, with solid gross margin performance and positive cash flow. For 2023, revenues were $693.3 million, with wireless infrastructure continuing to be a highlight, growing 30% over the previous year.

“As we look ahead, we believe 2024 will be the start of an exciting period of growth and opportunity for MaxLinear. Market headwinds of the past year in broadband and connectivity are likely to become tailwinds over time when customer inventory rationalization winds down and incentive programs begin to provide new market stimulus. Most importantly, the investments we made in product innovations in wireless and optical datacenter network infrastructure, Wi-Fi, ethernet, and fiber broadband access gateways are beginning to open up new and significant revenue opportunities that are expected to drive our growth for many years to come,” commented Kishore Seendripu, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO.

First Quarter 2024 Business Outlook

The company expects net revenue in the first quarter of 2024 to be approximately $85 million to $105 million. The Company also estimates the following:

  • GAAP gross margin of approximately 50.0% to 54.0%;
  • Non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 59.5% to 62.5%;
  • GAAP operating expenses of approximately $115 million to $125 million;
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses of approximately $72 million to $78 million;
  • GAAP and non-GAAP interest and other expense of approximately $1 million to $2 million; and
  • GAAP and non-GAAP diluted share count of approximately 82.3 million each.

All forward-looking statements are based on the estimates, projections and assumptions of management as of January 31, 2024, and MaxLinear is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue, non-GAAP income from operations as percentage of revenue, non-GAAP interest and other expenses, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and non-GAAP diluted share count. These supplemental measures exclude the effects of (i) stock-based compensation expense; (ii) accruals related to our performance-based bonus plan for 2023, which we currently intend to settle in shares of our common stock; (iii) accruals related to our performance-based bonus plan for 2022, which we settled in shares of common stock in 2023; (iv) amortization of purchased intangible assets; (v) research and development funded by others; (vi) acquisition and integration costs related to our acquisitions, including costs incurred related to the termination of the previously pending (now terminated) merger with Silicon Motion; (vii) impairment of intangible assets; (viii) severance and other restructuring charges; (ix) other non-recurring interest and other income (expenses), net attributable to acquisitions, including ticking fees paid to lenders following the termination of the previously pending (now terminated) merger with Silicon Motion; and (x) non-cash income tax benefits and expenses. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to limitations, and should be read only in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our GAAP results of operations. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

We believe that non-GAAP financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other one-time expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Among other uses, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s incentive compensation will be determined in part using these non-GAAP measures because we believe non-GAAP measures better reflect our core operating performance.

The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity incentive awards granted to our employees, directors, and consultants. Our equity incentive plans are important components of our employee incentive compensation arrangements and are reflected as expenses in our GAAP results. Stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense for MaxLinear. While we include the dilutive impact of equity awards in weighted average shares outstanding, the expense associated with stock-based awards reflects a non-cash charge that we exclude from non-GAAP net income.

Performance-based equity consists of accruals related to our executive and non-executive bonus programs, and have been excluded from our non-GAAP net income for all periods reported. Bonus payments for the 2022 performance periods were settled through the issuance of shares of common stock under our equity incentive plans in February 2023. We currently expect that bonus awards under our fiscal 2023 program will be settled in common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Expenses incurred in relation to acquisitions include amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs primarily consisting of professional and consulting fees, including costs incurred related to the termination of the previously pending (now terminated) merger with Silicon Motion; ticking fees paid to lenders following the termination of such merger which were recorded in other expense; and accretion of discount on contingent consideration to interest expense.

Research and development funded by others represents proceeds received under contracts for jointly funded R&D projects to develop technology that may be commercialized into a product in the future. Initially such proceeds may not yet be recognized in GAAP results if, pursuant to contract terms, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the funds provided by the other party under certain conditions. Management believes it is not probable that it will trigger such conditions. Once such conditions have been resolved, the proceeds are recognized in GAAP results, and accordingly, reversed from non-GAAP results.

Impairment losses are related to abandonment of acquired or purchased intangible assets.

Restructuring charges incurred are related to our restructuring plans which eliminate redundancies and primarily include severance and restructuring costs related to impairment of leased right-of-use assets or from exiting certain facilities.

Income tax benefits and expense adjustments are those that do not affect cash income taxes payable.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures for the historic periods disclosed in this press release appear below. Because of the inherent uncertainty associated with our ability to project future charges, we are also unable to predict their probable significance, particularly related to stock-based compensation and its related tax effects as well as potential impairments, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and accordingly, in reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, we have not provided a reconciliation for non-GAAP guidance provided for the first quarter 2024.
