Ongoing Business Conditions

In the second quarter of 2026, MPS achieved record quarterly revenue of $980.6 million, 21.9% higher than the first quarter of 2026 and 47.6% higher than revenue in the second quarter of 2025.

Our quarterly performance was the result of our continued innovation, our consistent execution and the resilience of our diversified market and supply chain strategy.

Q2 2026 highlights include:

•All end markets grew sequentially with Enterprise Data growing 45% as we continued to see strong, broad-based ordering patterns.

•We extended our capacity goal significantly beyond $6B to support future revenue growth and our transformation into a full solution provider.

•We received initial orders for high-speed DDR5 memory components which we expect to grow our SAM into next year.

•We began sampling High Voltage AC to DC products for 800V data center architectures as we expand beyond our current AI and server core power solutions.

•In our Automotive market, so far this year, we have shipped products for over 1500 new sockets as we increase our footprint in both ADAS and other applications within the vehicle.

We continue to adjust to the fluid geopolitical and macro-economic environment, but our diversified market strategy remains unchanged:

•MPS focuses on innovation and solving our customers’ most challenging problems.

•We consistently invest in new technologies that open new end markets and applications.

•We continuously expand and diversify our global supply chain allowing us to capture future growth opportunities, maintain supply stability, and rapidly adapt to market changes as they occur.

“Our results demonstrate the strength of our diversified model and our continued success in transforming from a chip-only, semiconductor supplier to a full service solutions provider,” said Michael Hsing, CEO and founder of MPS.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings commentary contains references to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP other income, net, and non-GAAP income before income taxes differ from net income, net income per share, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, other income, net, and income before income taxes determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and related expenses, which include stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll taxes in relation to the stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, net deferred compensation plan expense, and related tax effects. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes the effect of stock-based compensation and related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and deferred compensation plan expense. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and deferred compensation plan expense. Non-GAAP operating income excludes the effect of stock-based compensation and related expenses, amortization of

acquisition-related intangible assets and deferred compensation plan expense. Non-GAAP other income, net excludes the effect of deferred compensation plan income. Non-GAAP income before income taxes excludes the effect of stock-based compensation and related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and net deferred compensation plan expense. Projected non-GAAP gross margin excludes the effect of stock-based compensation and related expenses, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Projected non-GAAP operating expenses exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and related expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. MPS utilizes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to assess what it believes to be its core operating performance and to evaluate and manage its internal business and assist in making financial operating decisions. MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an alternative presentation useful to investors’ understanding of MPS’s core operating results and trends. Additionally, MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by other companies are not likely to be comparable in most cases to the non-GAAP financial measures used by MPS. See the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations in the tables set forth below.
