Interested parties may join the conference call by dialing 833-461-5787 (toll-free) or +1 585-542-9983 (international). The conference ID for the call is 721028678. It is recommended that participants register and dial in for the call at least 10 minutes before the start of the call. A live webcast of the conference call will be available on Credo’s Investor Relations website at http://investors.credosemi.com/. A replay of the webcast will be available via the web at http://investors.credosemi.com/. Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures is included below. This non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that Credo presents may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of share-based compensation expenses, acquisition and integration related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, asset impairment and related charges (if applicable), and the related tax effect adjustment to the provision for income taxes. Credo uses a full-year non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This full-year non-GAAP tax rate is based on Credo’s annual GAAP income, adjusted to exclude non-GAAP items, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period-specific tax items which vary in size and frequency. Credo’s non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate, such as tax law changes, significant changes in Credo’s geographic mix of revenue and expenses or changes to Credo’s corporate structure. GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net loss, and calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net income. Non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding when there is a non-GAAP net loss, and calculated using non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding when there is a non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP adjustment for the number of shares used in the diluted per share calculations excludes the impact of share-based compensation expenses expected to be incurred in future periods and not yet recognized in the financial statements, which would otherwise be assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method. Credo believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Credo’s financial condition and results of operations. While Credo uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Credo does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Credo believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. Externally, management believes that investors may find Credo’s non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Credo's operating performance and the valuation of Credo. Internally, Credo's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas: Management’s evaluation of Credo’s operating performance; Management’s establishment of internal operating budgets; and Management’s performance comparisons with internal forecasts and targeted business models. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Credo’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Credo’s results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent. Forward-Looking Statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, any statements regarding: launches of new or expansion of existing products or services; technology developments and innovation; our plans, strategies or objectives with respect to future operations; financial outlook; future financial results; expectations regarding the markets and industries in which Credo conducts business; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “can,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “targets” and similar expressions, or their negatives, may identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of results and should not be considered as an indication of future activity or future performance. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from those described in this press release.

DustPhotonics has developed a differentiated portfolio of SiPho PICs spanning 400G, 800G, and 1.6T, with a roadmap extending to 3.2T, that integrates key optical functions onto a single chip, reducing component complexity, improving manufacturing yields, and enabling meaningfully lower cost at scale as port speeds advance beyond 800G. In combination, these factors improve AI cluster reliability, a critical factor for data center operators. These SiPho PICs are deployed in transceivers at leading hyperscale AI clusters and are also in design for leading Near Port Optics (NPO) and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) applications. According to LightCounting1 and Credo estimates, the SiPho PIC market is expected to grow to $6 billion by 2030.
Critically, SiPho PIC technology is a foundational component of Credo's ZeroFlap (ZF) Optical Transceiver platform. Bringing this capability in-house mitigates external supply dependencies, accelerates product development cycles, and creates a pathway to substantial cost structure improvement at volume. Combined with Credo's industry-leading SerDes and DSP intellectual property and products, the acquisition creates an end-to-end optical connectivity solution platform.
Credo believes it has reached an inflection point in its optical business. With the addition of DustPhotonics, the company expects its combined portfolio of ZeroFlap Optical Transceivers, Optical DSPs, and Silicon Photonics products to generate greater than $500 million in optical revenue in fiscal 2027, reflecting strong customer traction and expanding adoption across hyperscale AI deployments.
Quotes
William Brennan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Credo Technology:
“Combining forces with DustPhotonics marks a defining step in Credo’s strategy to lead across the full spectrum of AI connectivity. We’ve built a strong position in high-speed electrical solutions, and this move decisively expands that leadership into Silicon Photonics with best-in-class PIC technology that complements our ZeroFlap Optical Transceivers and DSP portfolio.
This combination positions us at an inflection point in optical. As adoption accelerates across hyperscale AI infrastructure, we expect our optical business to scale into a meaningful and rapidly growing contributor by fiscal 2027.
More importantly, we are building a vertically integrated connectivity platform that spans from copper to optical and from chip to cluster—allowing us to solve for the two constraints that matter most at scale: reliability and power efficiency, while deepening our role as a strategic partner to our customers.”
Ronnen Lovinger, Chief Executive Officer, DustPhotonics:
"Joining Credo is the natural next step for DustPhotonics. We built this company with a clear conviction that Silicon Photonics would become the structural foundation of high-speed optical connectivity as AI infrastructure scales. Credo shares that conviction and brings the SerDes IP, the hyperscaler relationships, and the operational scale to turn that vision into reality far faster than we could independently. This is an exceptional outcome for our team, our customers, and the broader industry."
Gavin Baker, DustPhotonics Investor; Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Atreides Management, LP.:
“We believe DustPhotonics' Silicon Photonic ICs and engines are a natural extension to Credo's existing capabilities in optical connectivity, building on strong momentum across Credo’s DSP, ZF Optical Transceiver platform, and future Active LED Cable (ALC) product lines. As a key element in any silicon photonic optical link, DustPhotonics’ products and technologies enable high-speed optical connectivity at lower power and cost compared to traditional pluggable transceivers. In combination, the companies further strengthen Credo’s current foundation for more scalable, reliable, and energy-efficient scale-out and scale-up AI connectivity."
Avigdor Willenz, Chairman of DustPhotonics:
“Silicon photonics is becoming a critical building block for AI infrastructure, and DustPhotonics has built a truly differentiated technology platform in this space. We have been disciplined in focusing on the right architecture and execution, and the results are evident in both the product and customer traction. Combining with Credo creates a powerful platform with the scale, integration, and customer access required to fully capture the opportunity ahead."
Transaction Details
Credo will acquire DustPhotonics for upfront consideration of $750 million cash and approximately 0.92 million shares of Credo common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the definitive agreement. In addition, Credo may pay incremental contingent consideration of up to approximately 3.21 million shares based on the achievement of certain financial milestones, subject to the terms of the definitive agreement. Credo expects the transaction will be accretive to non-GAAP earnings per share in Credo’s fiscal 2027. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of calendar 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures is included below. This non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures that Credo presents may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and other companies may not calculate such measures in the same manner as we do.
Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of share-based compensation expenses, asset impairment and related charges (if applicable), and the related tax effect adjustment to the provision for income taxes.
Credo uses a full-year non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This full-year non-GAAP tax rate is based on Credo’s annual GAAP income, adjusted to exclude non-GAAP items, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period-specific tax items which vary in size and frequency. Credo’s non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate, such as tax law changes, significant changes in Credo’s geographic mix of revenue and expenses or changes to Credo’s corporate structure.
GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net loss, and calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net income. Non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding when there is a non-GAAP net loss, and calculated using non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding when there is a non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP adjustment for the number of shares used in the diluted per share calculations excludes the impact of share-based compensation expenses expected to be incurred in future periods and not yet recognized in the financial statements, which would otherwise be assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
Credo believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Credo’s financial condition and results of operations. While Credo uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Credo does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Credo believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance.
Externally, management believes that investors may find Credo’s non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Credo's operating performance and the valuation of Credo. Internally, Credo's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas:
Management’s evaluation of Credo’s ongoing operating performance;
Management’s establishment of internal operating budgets; and
Management’s performance comparisons with internal forecasts and targeted business models.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Credo’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Credo’s results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

On AEC cables; These analysts will (BoA, GS) soon know there is also something like ACC cables. Credo expecting a product mix of 50% AEC revenues in the near future. That pretty big news for Spectra7 also, imo.
Vijay Rakesh
Yes. Hi, Bill and Dan. Great quarter and guide.
Just a quick question on the mix of revenues on the product side, when you look at the 4Q and 1Q, if you can use the split of AEC versus optical and Line Card?
Dan Fleming
Yes, thanks Vijay.
So, we don't -- unfortunately, we don't disclose specifics when it comes to our product line mix, but from our from a long-term perspective, the expectations that we've set out where we're trending toward those amounts, which longer term, we would expect AEC to be nearly half of our revenue. Again, IP, right now, we're not quite at the long-term model, of course, so we're slightly above the 10% to 15%. And then the Line Card business has been a very, very strong business for us, and it continues its strength and is growing. Longer term, it'll probably be in the 15% range. And then the balance, optical will be a significant contributor this year, especially towards the end of the year and then even more so next year.
So, hopefully, that gives you just kind of broad strokes, the direction that we're headed.
Vijay Rakesh
Got it. And on the AEC side, I know you guys have a pretty broad portfolio of MACsec and phase shift, and speed-shift and Nick-to-ToR, et cetera. I'm just wondering when you look at the company landscape and given your broad breadth of portfolio and you're qualified many of the enterprise hyperscale guys, what is the competitive moat? I mean, you guys think you have a 12 to 24-month or even longer lead-time when you compare -- when you look at the competition, who I would say, most of them are still trying to get their product in place, but if you can give some color on how you look at that space?
Bill Brennan
Yes, great question.
I think that -- first of all, I'll say that we're very happy that we see competitors validating the AEC product category. We feel like we do have a significant bleat [ph] in a sense that we've been working on this product category for -- going on four years. The approach that we've taken, I think, is unique in a sense that we have built an organization internally at Credo that's responsible for the design, the development, and ultimately, the delivery of the AEC System Solution. That means that at the end of the day, we're responsible for the entire AEC System Solution with a single throat to choke in a sense when we're dealing with customers.
Our manufacturing partners do a great job in what they do well. We had started by thinking that we could sell chips to copper cable companies, and it just simply was very clear very quickly that our approach is going to be more effective if we owned the entire system design from the firmware -- to the holes from the firmware, on the copper, to the test program development to the actual tester design and development. We felt that that was a much stronger approach than trying to rely on others to put all this together.
So, I do think that as we look at our business now, it's really taken shape in a sense that it's different than our original thinking, which was, hey, we'll just put together a 400-gig on each end of the cable -- 400-gig connector on each of the cable. The solutions we're delivering in volume right now are unique. These are truly system level solutions that are -- I think would be -- could be classified as the most advanced connectivity solution -- cable connectivity solutions ever delivered to the data center.
If you think about what we're shipping currently to our first hyperscalar, they were successful in deploying a dual tour architecture in a single rack, because of the intelligence in our cable, we've got the ability to sense when the ToR port is failing, our cable makes the decision to switch the data flow to the second port.
So, this is a level of intelligence in the cable that has never been delivered as a DAC never been delivered as an AEC or other optical connection.
And so this is the direction that our business has taken as a result of us owning and really building the capability internally. I can tell you that the second solution that we're developing is also very unique. It's not just a straight cable.
And so we expect that more and more innovation will be requested by our customer base, as they see this is now a category where they can think about systems solutions that they haven't even thought of before. There will be business, especially, in the switching and routing layer that is leading edge 800-gig ports, where you have 800-gig connectors on each end of the cable. That's going to be a robust business as well. But generally, we think that the approach we took is paying off right now, as you see us taking off as a clear leader in the space. But I will say that having competition is always a great thing.
So, we appreciate that multiple people are now investing and that it seems that the market is accepting AEC as really a de facto solution for short connections, meaning three meters and less.
