Management Discussion
- A relatively small number of customers account for a significant portion of our net revenue. Direct sales to WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd., a distributor, accounted for 27% and 22% of our net revenue for the fiscal quarters ended February 4, 2024 and January 29, 2023, respectively.
- We believe aggregate sales to our top five end customers, through all channels, accounted for approximately 40% and 35% of our net revenue for the fiscal quarters ended February 4, 2024 and January 29, 2023, respectively. We believe aggregate sales to Apple Inc., through all channels, accounted for approximately 17% and 20% of our net revenue for the fiscal quarters ended February 4, 2024 and January 29, 2023, respectively. We expect to continue to experience significant customer concentration in future periods. The loss of, or significant decrease in demand from, any of our top five end customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- From time to time, some of our key semiconductor customers place large orders or delay orders, causing our quarterly net revenue to fluctuate significantly. This is particularly true of our wireless products as fluctuations may be magnified by the timing of launches, and seasonal variations in sales, of mobile devices. In addition, the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain and may cause our net revenue to fluctuate significantly and impact our results of operations.
