NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business MaxLinear, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in September 2003. MaxLinear, Inc., together with its directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as MaxLinear, or the Company, is a provider of communications systems-on-chips, or SoCs, solutions used in broadband, mobile and wireline infrastructure, data center, and industrial and multi-market applications. MaxLinear is a fabless integrated circuit design company whose products integrate all or substantial portions of a high-speed communication system, including radio frequency, or RF, high-performance analog, mixed-signal, digital signal processing, security engines, data compression and networking layers, and power management. MaxLinear’s customers primarily include electronics distributors, module makers, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and original design manufacturers, or ODMs, which incorporate the Company’s products in a wide range of electronic devices. Examples of such devices include broadband modems compliant with Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications, or DOCSIS, Passive Optical Network, or PON, and DSL; Wi-Fi and wireline routers for home networking; radio transceivers and modems for 4G/5G base-station and backhaul infrastructure; optical transceivers targeting hyperscale data centers; as well as power management and interface products used in these and many other markets. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MaxLinear, Inc. and its directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All intercompany transactions and investments have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contain adjustments, including normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on January 29, 2025, or the Annual Report. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The functional currency of certain foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated at the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date and historical rates for equity. Revenue and expense components are translated at weighted average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translation are included as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations, and to date, have not been material. Use of Estimates and Significant Risks and Uncertainties The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or adjustments to the carrying value of its assets and liabilities as of April 23, 2025, the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Refer to the Company’s Annual Report for a summary of significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025. 10 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, to clarify whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The guidance applies to all business entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. As the Company does not issue profit interest awards, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , to require enhanced disclosures that include reportable segment expenses. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose significant segment expenses, segment profit or loss (after significant segment expenses), and allows reporting of additional measures of a segments profit or loss if used in assessing segment performance. Such disclosures apply to entities with a single reportable segment. These amendments were effective for the Company beginning with annual periods in 2024 and interim periods in 2025 and retrospectively to all prior periods using the significant segment expense categories identified. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements impact only segment reporting disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued, Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, and research and development. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2027, applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods beginning in 2028. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2027 for annual periods and in 2028 for interim periods. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements only require more detailed disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements to remove various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This guidance is to clarify guidance, simplify wording or structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively for annual periods in 2025. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , to require enhanced income tax disclosures to provide information to assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose (1) a tabular income tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and amounts, (2) separate disclosure of any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying the income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and disaggregation of certain items that are significant and (3) amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, including separate disclosure of any individual jurisdictions greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively for annual periods in 2025. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, since the amendments require only enhancement of existing income tax disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 2. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares 11 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted-average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, stock options and restricted stock units are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive. In periods in which the Company has a net loss, dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted EPS: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts) Numerator: Net loss $ ( 49,713 ) $ ( 72,309 ) Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic 85,271 82,349 Dilutive common stock equivalents — — Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted 85,271 82,349 Net loss per share: Basic $ ( 0.58 ) $ ( 0.88 ) Diluted $ ( 0.58 ) $ ( 0.88 ) For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company excluded common stock equivalents for outstanding stock-based awards, which represented potentially dilutive securities of 5.0 million and 5.0 million, respectively, from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive nature. 3. Business Combinations Terminated Silicon Motion Merger On May 5, 2022, MaxLinear entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Silicon Motion Technology Corporation, or Silicon Motion, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, MaxLinear agreed to acquire Silicon Motion pursuant to a statutory merger, under the laws of the Cayman Islands, of Shark Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MaxLinear, with and into Silicon Motion, with Silicon Motion surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MaxLinear. Silicon Motion is a provider of NAND flash controllers for solid state drives, or SSDs, and other solid state storage devices. On July 26, 2023, MaxLinear terminated the Merger Agreement and notified Silicon Motion that MaxLinear was relieved of its obligations to close because, among other reasons, (i) certain conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement were not satisfied and were incapable of being satisfied, (ii) Silicon Motion had suffered a Material Adverse Effect that was continuing, (iii) Silicon Motion was in material breach of representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in the Merger Agreement that gave rise to the right of the Company to terminate, and (iv) in any event, the First Extended Outside Date had passed and was not automatically extended because certain conditions in Article 6 of the Merger Agreement were not satisfied or waived as of May 5, 2023. For these same reasons, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, MaxLinear was not required to pay a break-up fee or other fee to Silicon Motion as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement. Undefined capitalized terms in this paragraph have the same meaning as in the Merger Agreement. On August 16, 2023, Silicon Motion delivered to MaxLinear a notice, which Silicon Motion publicly disclosed, that it was purporting to terminate the Merger Agreement and that Silicon Motion would be commencing an arbitration to seek damages from MaxLinear arising from MaxLinear's alleged breaches of the Merger Agreement. On October 5, 2023, Silicon Motion filed a Notice of Arbitration with the Singapore International Arbitration Centre alleging that MaxLinear breached the Merger Agreement. See Note 15 for more information on legal matters related to the termination of the Merger Agreement. 12 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 4. Restructuring Activity From time to time, the Company approves and implements restructuring plans as a result of internal resource alignment and cost saving measures. Such restructuring plans may include terminating employees, vacating certain leased facilities, and cancellation of contracts. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 7.9 million in restructuring costs which included $ 6.3 million in charges under contracts associated with CAD tool licenses that the Company ceased using during the quarter and $ 1.6 million in severance costs and related expenses in connection with a workforce reduction. The Company expects to complete the workforce reduction in the second quarter of 2025 and estimates that it will incur an additional $ 4.0 million to $ 6.0 million in restructuring costs. Estimated restructuring costs remaining to be incurred for the restructuring plan pertain to severance and related costs to be incurred upon completion of notice to employees and exiting of additional leased office space, and are anticipated to be incurred in the second quarter of 2025. The estimate of costs that the Company expects to incur, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ. The Company may also incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the restructuring plan. The following table presents the activity related to the restructuring plans, which is included in restructuring charges in the consolidated statements of operations: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 (in thousands) Employee separation expenses $ 1,597 $ 19,938 Lease related charges, net of adjustments 2 2,137 Other 6,280 555 $ 7,879 $ 22,630 The following table presents a roll-forward of the Company’s restructuring liability for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill arises from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair values of net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired are based upon preliminary valuations and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (potentially up to one year from the acquisition date). There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 13 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment assessment on October 31st each year, using a quantitative assessment comparing the fair value of each reporting unit, which the Company has determined to be the entity itself, with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded. As a result of the Company’s impairment assessment, no goodwill impairment was recognized as of October 31, 2024. In addition to its annual review, the Company performs a test of impairment when indicators of impairment are present. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no indications of impairment of the Company’s goodwill balances. Acquired Intangibles Finite-lived Intangible Assets The following table sets forth the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and other purchases, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives: March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Weighted Average Useful Life (in Years) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount (in thousands) Licensed technology 6.9 $ 24,661 $ ( 2,665 ) $ 21,996 $ 24,661 $ ( 2,418 ) $ 22,243 Developed technology 6.9 311,261 ( 286,014 ) 25,247 311,261 ( 283,432 ) 27,829 Trademarks and trade names 6.2 14,800 ( 14,455 ) 345 14,800 ( 14,419 ) 381 Customer relationships 5.0 128,800 ( 128,272 ) 528 128,800 ( 127,887 ) 913 Patents 7.0 4,780 ( 1,309 ) 3,471 4,780 ( 1,138 ) 3,642 6.1 $ 484,302 $ ( 432,715 ) $ 51,587 $ 484,302 $ ( 429,294 ) $ 55,008 The following table sets forth amortization expense associated with finite-lived intangible assets, which is included in the consolidated statements of operations as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 (in thousands) Cost of net revenue $ 2,829 $ 8,468 Selling, general and administrative 592 591 $ 3,421 $ 9,059 Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets in cost of net revenue in the consolidated statements of operations results primarily from acquired developed technology. The following table sets forth the activity related to finite-lived intangible assets: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 (in thousands) Beginning balance $ 55,008 $ 73,630 Additions — 368 Amortization ( 3,421 ) ( 9,059 ) Ending balance $ 51,587 $ 64,939 The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets subject to depreciation and amortization, as well as the related useful lives, to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash 14 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Should impairment exist, the impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the asset’s fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no impairment losses related to finite-lived intangible assets were recognized. The following table presents future amortization of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets at March 31, 2025: Amount (in thousands) 2025 (9 months) $ 10,717 2026 13,974 2027 10,552 2028 5,096 2029 4,009 Thereafter 7,239 Total $ 51,587 6. Financial Instruments The composition of financial instruments is as follows: Fair Value March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 (in thousands) Liabilities Contingent consideration $ 2,600 $ 2,600 The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants and is recorded using a hierarchical disclosure framework based upon the level of subjectivity of the inputs used in measuring assets and liabilities. The levels are described below: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The Company classifies its financial instruments that are categorized within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy on the basis of valuations using quoted market prices or alternate pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs, respectively. The contingent consideration liability of $ 2.6 million as of each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, is associated with the Company’s acquisition of Company Y in January 2023. The contingent consideration liability is classified as a Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) financial instrument. The contingent consideration as it relates to Company Y was subject to the acquired business’s satisfaction of certain personnel objectives by June 17, 2024, but remains unpaid pending resolution of certain matters. The fair value of the contingent consideration was based on (1) applying the Monte Carlo simulation method, with underlying forecast mathematics based on Geometric Brownian motion in a risk-neutral framework, to forecast achievement of the acquired business’ financial objectives, if applicable, under various possible contingent consideration events and (2) a probability based methodology using management’s inputs and assumptions to forecast achievement of the acquired business’ personnel objectives which included an assumption of total payments up to $ 2.6 million to Company Y. Key inputs in the valuation include forecasted revenue, revenue volatility, discount rate and discount term as it relates to the financial objectives and probability of achievement, discount term and discount rate as it relates to the personnel objectives. 15 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC.

The approximate aggregate fair value of the term loans outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 119.9 million and $ 118.6 million, respectively, which was estimated on the basis of inputs that are observable in the market and which is considered a Level 2 measurement method in the fair value hierarchy (Note 6). As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of $ 125.0 million is due in full on June 23, 2028, upon maturity of the loan. Initial Term Loan and Revolving Facility under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement, or the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, that provides for a senior secured term B loan facility, or the “Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement,” in an aggregate principal amount of $ 350.0 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility, or the “Revolving Facility,” in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 100.0 million. The proceeds of the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement were used (i) to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under that certain Credit Agreement dated May 12, 2017, by and among the Company, MUFG Bank Ltd., as administrative agent and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated July 31, 2020) and (ii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The remaining proceeds of the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement are available for general corporate purposes and the proceeds of the Revolving Facility may be used to finance the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2025, the Revolving Facility was undrawn. Under the terminated amended and restated commitment letter with Wells Fargo Bank and other lenders entered into in connection with the previously pending (now terminated) merger with Silicon Motion (Note 3), the Company had expected to repay the remaining outstanding term loans under such agreement upon closing of the merger. The June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement permits the Company to request incremental loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of an amount equal to the greater of (x) $ 175.0 million and (y) 100 % of consolidated EBITDA, plus the amount of certain voluntary prepayments, plus an unlimited amount that is subject to pro forma compliance with certain first lien net leverage ratio, secured net leverage ratio and total net leverage ratio tests. Incremental loans are subject to certain additional conditions, including obtaining additional commitments from the lenders then party to the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement or new lenders. Under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement, the Initial Term Loan bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (i) a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the federal funds rate, plus 0.50 %, (y) the prime rate then in effect and (z) an adjusted Term SOFR rate determined on the basis of a one-month interest period plus 1.00 %, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 1.25 % or (ii) an adjusted Term SOFR rate, subject to a floor of 0.50 %, plus an applicable margin of 2.25 %. Loans under the Revolving Facility initially bear interest, at a per annum rate equal to either (i) a base rate (as calculated above) plus an applicable margin of 0.00 %, or (ii) an adjusted Term SOFR rate (as calculated above) plus an applicable margin of 1.00 %. Following delivery of financial statements for the Company’s fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, the applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Facility will range from 0.00 % to 0.75 % in the case of base rate loans and 1.00 % to 1.75 % in the case of Term SOFR rate loans, in each case, depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The Company is required to pay commitment fees ranging from 0.175 % to 0.25 % per annum on the daily undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility, depending on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Commencing on September 30, 2021, the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement will amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to 0.25 % of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement, with the balance payable on the maturity date. The June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement was amended on June 29, 2023 to implement a benchmark replacement. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the outstanding principal amount of term loans under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement with the net cash proceeds from the disposition of certain assets and the receipt of insurance proceeds upon certain casualty and condemnation events, in each case, to the extent not reinvested within a specified time period, from excess cash flow beyond stated threshold amounts, and from the incurrence of certain indebtedness. The Company has the right to prepay its term loans under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain limitations and a 1.0 % soft call premium applicable during the first six months following the closing date of the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement. The Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement will 19 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) mature on June 23, 2028, at which time all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement must be repaid. The Revolving Facility will mature on June 23, 2026, at which time all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Revolving Facility must be repaid. The Company is also obligated to pay fees customary for a credit facility of this size and type. The Company’s obligations under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement are required to be guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries meeting materiality thresholds set forth in the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement. Such obligations, including the guaranties, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2021, by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent. The June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, undergo certain fundamental changes, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and sell assets, in each case, subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement. The Revolving Facility also prohibits the Company from having a secured net leverage ratio in excess of 3.50 :1.00 (subject to a temporary increase to 3.75 :1.00 following the consummation of certain material permitted acquisitions) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021) if the aggregate borrowings under the Revolving Facility exceed 1 % of the aggregate commitments thereunder (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement) as of such date. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. The June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default that include, among other things, certain payment defaults, cross defaults to other indebtedness, covenant defaults, change in control defaults, judgment defaults, and bankruptcy and insolvency defaults. If an event of default exists, the lenders may require immediate payment of all obligations under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement and may exercise certain other rights and remedies provided for under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement , the other loan documents and applicable law. The debt is carried at its principal amount, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, and is not adjusted to fair value each period. The issuance date fair value of the liability component of the debt in the amount of $ 350.2 million was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, in which the projected interest and principal payments were discounted back to the issuance date of the term loan at a market interest rate for nonconvertible debt of 3.4 %, which represents a Level 2 fair value measurement. The debt discount of $ 0.9 million and debt issuance costs of $ 2.9 million associated with the Initial Term Loan under the June 23, 2021 Credit Agreement are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over its seven-year term. Debt issuance costs of $ 0.4 million associated with the Revolving Facility are being amortized to interest expense over its five-year term. 9. Stock-Based Compensation Common Stock Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share and holders of the common stock vote as a single class of stock on any matter that is submitted to a vote of stockholders. Employee Stock-Based Compensation Plans At March 31, 2025, the Company had stock-based compensation awards outstanding under the following plans: the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, or 2010 Plan, and the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, and the 2024 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan, or the Inducement Plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Employee Incentive Bonus The Company’s Executive Incentive Bonus Plan permits the settlement of awards under the plan in any combination of cash or shares of its common stock. The Company settles a majority of bonus awards for its employees, including executives, in shares of common stock under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. When bonus awards are settled in common stock issued under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, the number of shares issuable to plan participants is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as determined in trading on the applicable stock exchange, on a date approved by the Board of Directors. In connection with the Company’s bonus programs, in February 2025, the Company issued 0.1 million freely-tradable (subject to certain restrictions for affiliates) shares of the Company’s common stock in settlement of bonus awards to employees, including executives, for the 2024 performance period. At March 31, 2025, the Company has an accrual of $ 6.8 million for bonus awards for employees for year-to-date achievement in the 2025 performance period. The Company’s compensation committee retains discretion to effect payment in cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in the consolidated statements of operations, based on the department to which the related employee reports, as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 (in thousands) Cost of net revenue $ 282 $ 181 Research and development 14,656 10,441 Selling, general and administrative 7,973 6,439 $ 22,911 $ 17,061 The total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units as of March 31, 2025 was $ 115.3 million, and the weighted average period over which these equity awards are expected to vest is 2.39 years. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance-based restricted stock units as of March 31, 2025 was $ 0.9 million, and the weighted average period over which these equity awards are expected to vest is 1.27 years. Actual levels of future performance for the unvested periods may differ from current estimates. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options as of March 31, 2025 was $ 23.2 million, and the weighted average period over which these equity awards are expected to vest is 2.89 years. Restricted Stock Units A summary of the Company’s restricted stock unit activity for all equity plans is as follows: Number of Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share Outstanding at December 31, 2024 7,919 $ 24.99 Granted 1 469 17.53 Vested ( 1,904 ) 24.24 Canceled 2 ( 504 ) 26.25 Outstanding at March 31, 2025 5,980 $ 24.54 ____________ (1) Includes approximately 60 thousand shares granted under the Inducement Plan at a weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of $ 16.83 . (2) Includes approximately 3 thousand shares canceled under the Inducement Plan at a weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of $ 15.62 . 21 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Performance-based restricted stock units are eligible to vest at the end of each year-long performance period, as defined in the underlying agreement, in a three-year performance period based on whether the Company’s annual growth rate in net sales and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (subject to certain adjustments) over baseline results relative to the growth rates for a peer group of companies for the same metrics and periods, equals or exceeds the 50th percentile. The Company’s relative percentile rank in net sales and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is determined by ranking the designated peer group companies (including MaxLinear) from the highest to the lowest according to their annual growth rate in each metric for the performance year, then calculating the percentile ranking of MaxLinear relative to other companies in the designated peer group. If the Company’s relative percentile rank for each metric at year-end is less than the 25th percentile, no shares will vest. If the Company’s relative percentile rank for these metrics is greater or equal to the 25th percentile, vesting may range from 50 % up to a maximum 250 % of target; such maximum may be achieved in year three if performance at or above the 75th percentile is achieved. For the performance-based restricted stock units granted to date, 60 % of each performance-based award is subject to the net sales metric for the performance period and 40 % is subject to the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share metric for the performance period. The maximum percentage for a particular metric is 250 % of the target number of units subject to the award related to that metric, however, vesting of the performance stock units is capped at 30 % and 100 %, respectively, of the target number of units subject to the award in years one and two, respectively, of the three-year performance period. The number of shares granted is based on the maximum percentage achievable ( 250 %) in the performance-based restricted stock unit award, in order to reserve an adequate number of shares for any potential future vesting. As of March 31, 2025, achievement to date under the performance metrics specified in the respective award agreements are based on its expected revenue and non-GAAP diluted EPS results over the performance periods and calculated growth rates relative to its peers’ expected results based on data available, as defined in the respective award agreements. To the extent any prior achievement levels are no longer probable, any compensation expense recorded is adjusted to the revised achievement levels. A summary of the Company’s performance-based restricted stock unit activity is as follows: Number of Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share Outstanding at December 31, 2024 3,520 $ 25.66 Canceled(1) ( 826 ) 38.09 Outstanding at March 31, 2025 2,694 $ 21.84 ________________ (1) Includes shares canceled due to achievement below threshold amounts from shares granted which were previously reserved at the maximum achievable ( 250 %). No shares were eligible to vest for the 2024 performance period due to achievement below the 25th percentile. Employee Stock Purchase Rights and Stock Options Employee Stock Purchase Rights During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP. 22 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) The fair values of employee stock purchase rights were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at their respective grant date using the following assumptions: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Weighted-average grant date fair value per share $ 6.00 $ 6.35 Risk-free interest rate 4.44 % 5.41 % Dividend yield — % — % Expected life (in years) 0.50 0.50 Volatility 95.74 % 70.46 % The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on rates for United States (U.S.) Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The assumed dividend yield was based on the Company’s expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected term is the duration of the offering period for each grant date. In addition, the estimated volatility incorporates the historical volatility over the expected term based on the Company’s daily closing stock prices. Stock Options A summary of the Company’s stock options activity is as follows: Number of Options (in thousands) Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2024 2,965 $ 19.35 Canceled ( 247 ) 18.76 Outstanding at March 31, 2025 2,718 $ 19.39 7.85 $ — Vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2025 2,564 $ 19.39 7.78 $ — Exercisable at March 31, 2025 573 $ 18.87 3.91 $ — The fair values of stock options were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at their respective grant date using the following assumptions: Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 (1) 2024 Weighted-average grant date fair value per share N/A $ 10.84 - $ 11.24 Risk-free interest rate N/A 4.33 % Dividend yield N/A $ — Expected life (in years) N/A 6.50 Volatility N/A 57.50 % __________________ (1) No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the United States Treasury’s rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The assumed dividend yield was based on the Company’s expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected term of the options was calculated using the simplified method as prescribed by guidance provided by the SEC. This decision was based on the lack of historical data due to the Company’s limited number of stock option exercises under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. Estimated volatility incorporates historical volatility of the Company over the expected term based on the Company's daily closing stock prices. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $ 0 and $ 0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash received from exercise of stock options was negligible during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 23 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) The tax benefit from stock options exercised was $ 0 and $ 0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 10. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes primarily relates to projected federal, state, and foreign income taxes. To determine the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. In addition, the tax effects of certain significant or unusual items are recognized discretely in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred taxes are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the temporary differences reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred taxes to the amount it believes is more likely than not to be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence quarterly, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. Forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Based upon the Company’s review of all positive and negative evidence, the Company continues to have a valuation allowance on its state deferred tax assets, certain of its federal deferred tax assets, and certain foreign deferred tax assets in jurisdictions where the Company has cumulative losses or otherwise is not expected to utilize certain tax attributes. The Company does not incur expense or benefit in certain tax-free jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $ 0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and an income tax benefit of $ 1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% United States federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily related to the mix of pre-tax income among jurisdictions, permanent tax items, and stock based compensation. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily related to the mix of pre-tax income among jurisdictions, permanent tax items including tax credits, stock based compensation, and tax shortfalls related to stock-based compensation. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not threshold to be recognized. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are de-recognized in the first financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company records potential penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within the consolidated statements of operations as income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits increased by $ 0.2 million. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. Accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2025 were approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 4 thousand, respectively. The Company is subject to federal and state income tax in the United States and is also subject to income tax in certain other foreign tax jurisdictions. At March 31, 2025, the statutes of limitations for the assessment of federal, state, and foreign income taxes are closed for the years before 2021, 2020, and 2017, respectively. The Company’s subsidiary in Singapore operates under certain tax incentives in Singapore, which are generally effective through March 2027, and are conditional upon meeting certain employment and investment thresholds in Singapore. Under the incentives, qualifying income derived from certain sales of the Company’s integrated circuits is taxed at a concessionary rate over the incentive period, and there are reduced Singapore withholding taxes on certain intercompany royalties during the incentive period. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its Singapore deferred tax assets. Due to this Singapore valuation allowance, no income tax provision was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company recorded income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2024 at the incentive rate. 24 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 11. Concentration of Credit Risk, Significant Customers and Geographic Information Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Collateral is generally not required for customer receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. Significant Customers The Company markets its products and services to manufacturers of a wide range of electronic devices (Note 1). The Company sells its products both directly to end-customers and through third-party distributors, both of which are referred to as the Company’s customers (Note 12). Revenue is also generated from sales of intellectual property, and the recipients of such intellectual property are also referred to as the Company’s customers. The Company makes periodic evaluations of the credit worthiness of its customers. Customers comprising 10% or greater of net revenues for each of the periods presented are as follows, Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Percentage of total net revenue Customer A * 23 % Customer B 17 % 13 % Customer C 11 % * ______________________________________ * Represents less than 10% of the net revenues for the period presented.

No other individual country accounted for more than 10% of net revenue during these periods. Although a large percentage of the Company’s products is shipped to Asia, and in particular, Hong Kong and Vietnam, the Company believes that a significant number of the systems designed by customers and incorporating the Company’s semiconductor products are subsequently sold outside Asia to Europe, Middle East, and Africa markets and North American markets.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue by Market The table below presents disaggregated net revenues by market (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 2024 Broadband $ 40,883 $ 33,055 % of net revenue 43 % 35 % Connectivity 20,235 9,711 % of net revenue 21 % 10 % Infrastructure 26,561 32,605 % of net revenue 28 % 34 % Industrial and multi-market 8,254 19,898 % of net revenue 9 % 21 % Total net revenue $ 95,933 $ 95,269 Revenues from sales through the Company’s distributors accounted for 37 % and 36 % of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Contract Liabilities As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, customer contract liabilities were approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of advanced payments received for which performance obligations have not been completed. Revenue recognized in each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of each of those respective periods was immaterial. There were no material changes in the contract liabilities balance during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Obligations to Customers for Price Adjustments and Returns and Assets for Right-of-Returns As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, obligations to customers consisting of estimates of price protection rights offered to the Company’s end customers totaled $ 47.7 million and $ 43.4 million, respectively, and are included in accrued price protection liability in the consolidated balance sheets. For activity in this account, including amounts included in net revenue, refer to Note 7. Other obligations to customers representing estimates of price adjustments to be claimed by distributors upon sell-through of their inventory to their end customer and estimates of stock rotation returns to be claimed by distributors on products sold as of March 31, 2025 were $ 56.2 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively, and as of December 31, 2024 were $ 43.0 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets (Note 7). The reason for the significant increase in accrued obligations to customers for price adjustments from approximately $ 43.0 million as of December 31, 2024 to approximately $ 56.2 million as of March 31, 2025, was due to an increase in sales to distributors which increased the corresponding accrued obligations to such customers and timing on issuing credit to customers. The increase or decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 from net changes in transaction prices for amounts included in obligations to customers for price adjustments and estimates of stock rotation returns to be claimed by distributors as of the beginning of those respective periods was not material. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, right of return assets under customer contracts representing the estimates of product inventory the Company expects to receive from customers in stock rotation returns were approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively. Right of return assets are included in inventory in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no impairment losses recorded on customer accounts receivable. 27 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 13. Leases Operating Leases Operating lease arrangements primarily consist of office leases expiring in various years through 2029. These leases have original terms of approximately 2 to 8 years and some contain options to extend the lease up to 5 years or terminate the lease, which are included in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when the Company is reasonably certain it will renew the underlying leases. Since the implicit rate of such leases is unknown and the Company is not reasonably certain to renew its leases, the Company has elected to apply a collateralized incremental borrowing rate to facility leases on the original lease term in calculating the present value of future lease payments. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average discount rate for operating leases was 4.8 % and 5.0 %, respectively, and the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 3.0 years and 3.2 years, respectively, as of the end of each of these periods. The table below presents aggregate future minimum payments due under leases, reconciled to total lease liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025: Operating Leases (in thousands) 2025 (9 months) $ 8,362 2026 9,232 2027 6,283 2028 2,454 2029 1,596 Thereafter — Total minimum payments 27,927 Less: imputed interest ( 2,263 ) Less: unrealized translation loss ( 2 ) Total lease liabilities 25,662 Less: short-term lease liabilities ( 9,888 ) Long-term lease liabilities $ 15,774 Operating lease cost was $ 2.3 million and $ 2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Short-term lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were not material. There were $ 1.7 million and $ 1.0 million of right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 14. Employee Retirement Plans Defined Contribution Plan The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan (the 401(k) Plan) covering all eligible employees. Participants may voluntarily contribute on a pre-tax basis an amount not to exceed a maximum contribution amount pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is not required to contribute, nor has it contributed, to the 401(k) Plan for any of the periods presented. Pension and Other Defined Benefit Retirement Obligations The Company maintains defined benefit retirement plans in certain foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2025, the net defined benefit obligation was $ 0.4 million. As of December 31, 2024, the net defined benefit obligation was $ 0.4 million. The benefit is based on a formula applied to eligible employee earnings. Net periodic benefit costs were $ 40 thousand and $ 0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and were recorded to research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. 28 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 15. Commitments and Contingencies Inventory Purchase and Other Contractual Obligations As of March 31, 2025, future minimum payments under inventory purchase and other obligations are as follows: Inventory Purchase Obligations Other Obligations Total (in thousands) 2025 (9 months) $ 66,795 $ 22,761 $ 89,556 2026 6,617 20,495 27,112 2027 8,841 4,704 13,545 2028 — 610 610 2029 — 628 628 Thereafter — 3,437 3,437 Total minimum payments $ 82,253 $ 52,635 $ 134,888 Other obligations consist primarily of contractual payments due for software licenses. Jointly Funded Research and Development From time to time, the Company enters into contracts for jointly funded research and development projects to develop technology that may be commercialized into a product in the future and receives payments as milestones under the contracts are met. If the Company is required to repay all or a portion of the funds provided by the other parties under certain conditions, the Company defers such funds in other-long term liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, funds of $ 15.0 million received from the other parties have been deferred in other long-term liabilities. The Company de-recognizes the liabilities when the contingencies associated with the repayment conditions have been resolved. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize income from any previously deferred amounts from other parties upon resolution of such repayment conditions. Dispute with Silicon Motion As previously disclosed, on July 26, 2023, MaxLinear terminated the Merger Agreement on multiple grounds (Note 3). On August 16, 2023, Silicon Motion delivered to MaxLinear a notice, which Silicon Motion publicly disclosed, that it was purporting to terminate the Merger Agreement and that Silicon Motion would be commencing an arbitration before the Singapore International Arbitration Centre to seek damages from MaxLinear arising from MaxLinear’s alleged breaches of the Merger Agreement. Silicon Motion’s position is that MaxLinear’s Willful and Material Breaches (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger Agreement prevented the Merger from being completed by August 7, 2023, and that MaxLinear is consequently liable for substantial monetary damages in excess of the termination fee as provided in the Merger Agreement. On October 5, 2023, Silicon Motion filed a Notice of Arbitration with the Singapore International Arbitration Centre alleging that MaxLinear breached the Merger Agreement. Silicon Motion seeks payment of the termination fee, additional damages, fees, and costs. The arbitration will be confidential. MaxLinear believes that it properly terminated the Merger Agreement. MaxLinear remains confident in its decision and will vigorously defend its right to terminate the Silicon Motion transaction without penalty. Silicon Motion Stockholder Litigation MaxLinear and certain of its officers have been named as defendants in two lawsuits brought by stockholders of Silicon Motion. On August 31, 2023, a Silicon Motion stockholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California captioned Water Island Event-Driven Fund v. MaxLinear, Inc., No. 23-cv-01607 (S.D. Cal.), against MaxLinear and certain of its current officers. The complaint included two claims: (1) an alleged violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder; and (2) an alleged violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On December 20, 2023, the court appointed the lead plaintiffs, who filed the Consolidated Complaint on 29 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) February 15, 2024. The Consolidated Complaint alleged that the defendants made false and misleading statements and/or omitted material facts that MaxLinear had a duty to disclose, concerning the Company’s intention to close the merger with Silicon Motion. On August 28, 2024, the court granted the defendants a motion to dismiss holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue MaxLinear and its officers. The case was dismissed without prejudice. On September 18, 2024, the plaintiffs filed an Amended Consolidated Complaint, or the Amended Complaint. The Amended Complaint includes the same two claims as alleged in the Consolidated Complaint and makes similar factual allegations against the MaxLinear defendants, but adds Silicon Motion and certain of its officers as additional defendants. The Amended Complaint seeks compensatory damages, including interest, costs and expenses and such other relief that the court deems appropriate. On November 25, 2024, the MaxLinear defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Briefing on the motion is complete and MaxLinear is awaiting a decision by the court. MaxLinear intends to continue to vigorously defend its position. On June 13, 2024, HBK Master Fund L.P. and HBK Merger Strategies Master Fund L.P., stockholders of Silicon Motion, or collectively, the HBK Plaintiffs, filed an additional complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California captioned HBK Master Fund L.P. v. MaxLinear, Inc., No. 24-cv-01033 (S.D. Cal.), against MaxLinear and certain of its current officers, which also alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and other violations. The complaint alleges that the defendants concealed their intention to terminate the merger with Silicon Motion from Silicon Motion’s shareholders. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, including interest, costs and expenses, punitive damages, and such other equitable or injunctive relief that the court deems appropriate. On January 2, 2025, the court granted the defendants a motion to dismiss holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue MaxLinear and its officers. The case was dismissed without prejudice. On January 17, 2025, the HBK Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, including the same two claims as alleged previously with similar factual allegations. The amended complaint seeks compensatory damages, including interest, costs and expenses, punitive damages, and such other relief that the court deems appropriate. On February 18, 2025, the MaxLinear defendants filed a motion to dismiss this amended complaint. Briefing on the motion is complete and MaxLinear is awaiting a decision by the court. MaxLinear intends to continue to vigorously defend its position. MaxLinear Stockholder Litigation On February 12, 2025, the plaintiff, Joshua M. Steffens, brought a shareholder derivative action on behalf of MaxLinear in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, against current and former members of MaxLinear’s Board of Directors and certain of its executive officers. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duties and violation of federal securities laws. This is a follow-on derivative lawsuit alleging that the defendants concealed their intention to terminate the merger with Silicon Motion, leading to the filing of the Silicon Motion stockholder lawsuits referenced above, thereby causing harm to MaxLinear. The complaint seeks money damages, directing the individual defendants to account for all damages caused by them and all profits, special benefits and unjust enrichment they have obtained as a result of their unlawful conduct, including all salaries, bonuses, fees, stock award, options and common stock sale proceeds, and imposing a constructive trust thereon, punitive damages, costs and expenses, and such other relief that the court deems appropriate. This matter is stayed pending resolution of the Silicon Motion stockholder lawsuits referenced above. Comcast Litigation On December 1, 2023, MaxLinear filed claims against Comcast Management, LLC and Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, or together, Comcast, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. MaxLinear alleges that in 2020, MaxLinear shared its proprietary design and know-how for a full-duplex, or FDX, amplifier with Comcast in the hope of securing future business with Comcast. MaxLinear shared its design and know-how on several occasions, all pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement between MaxLinear and Comcast, with the expectation that Comcast would keep the information confidential. MaxLinear alleges that Comcast needed this technology in order to effectively compete with fiber-optic internet providers. Instead of engaging MaxLinear to develop the FDX amplifier, Comcast allegedly shared MaxLinear’s proprietary designs with MaxLinear’s direct competitor. Comcast allegedly then worked with MaxLinear’s competitor to develop the FDX-amplifier technology. MaxLinear brought claims for trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition, and breach of the parties’ non-disclosure agreement, and it sought an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, punitive damages, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, costs, expenses, and attorney fees as well as an injunction against Comcast’s use or disclosure of MaxLinear’s trade secrets. 30 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) On March 19, 2024, Comcast amended its claims for declaratory judgments, indemnification, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and on April 3, 2024, MaxLinear moved to dismiss all claims against it. On September 19, 2024, the court granted the motion to dismiss with respect to certain claims for declaratory judgment claim and denied the motion to dismiss with respect to the remaining claims. On September 23, 2024, Comcast filed amended claims for declaratory judgment, indemnification, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and on October 14, 2024, MaxLinear amended and refiled its trade secret and related claims. MaxLinear intends to continue to vigorously defend its position. Dish Litigation On February 10, 2023, Entropic Communications, LLC, or Entropic, filed claims for patent infringement against Dish Network Corporation, Dish Network LLC, Dish Network Service, LLC, and Dish Network California Service Corporation in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. At that time, MaxLinear was not a party to the action. On September 21, 2023, Dish Network California Service Corporation, or Dish California, filed four counterclaims against MaxLinear. The four claims are declaratory judgment, breach of contract, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, and civil conspiracy. On January 31, 2024, the Dish defendants, together with DISH Technologies L.L.C., or collectively, Dish, filed eight counterclaims (amended counterclaims for Dish California) against MaxLinear. The eight counterclaims were (1) breach of contract, (2) fraud and negligent misrepresentation, (3) fraud arising from a civil conspiracy, (4) quasi-contract for restitution/unjust enrichment, (5) combination in restraint of trade, (6) violation of the Cartwright Act (by Dish California only), (7) patent misuse, and (8) violation of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq. Dish’s eight counterclaims revolve around a core allegation that MaxLinear is a member of the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) and that MaxLinear violated its obligation under MoCA’s Intellectual Property Rights Policy, or IPR Policy, by acting with Entropic to rid the asserted patents of the RAND encumbrances. Dish seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, disgorgement, attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, and costs. On February 14, 2025, the court dismissed with prejudice six of the eight counterclaims against MaxLinear, as follows: (1) fraud arising from a civil conspiracy, (2) quasi-contract for restitution/unjust enrichment, (3) combination in restraint of trade, (4) violation of the Cartwright Act (by Dish California only), (5) patent misuse, and (6) violation of Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq. MaxLinear intends to continue to vigorously defend its position against Dish’s remaining two counterclaims. Cox Litigations On February 10, 2023, Entropic sued Cox Communications, Inc., CoxCom, LLC, and Cox Communications California, LLC, or together, Cox, in two separate actions in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On October 6, 2023, Cox filed counterclaims against MaxLinear in each of the two actions. In the first action, Cox alleges that when MaxLinear assigned certain patents to Entropic, MaxLinear violated its obligations under MoCA’s IPR Policy by assigning these patents and by allegedly failing to ensure that Cox would be offered a FRAND license for these patents. Cox amended its counterclaims on January 9, 2024 and asserted claims of breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and declaratory judgment against MaxLinear. Cox seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, equitable relief, attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs. MaxLinear moved to dismiss Cox’s amended counterclaims on February 6, 2024. On February 14, 2025, the court dismissed with prejudice the unjust enrichment counterclaim against MaxLinear. In the second action, in response to Entropic suing Cox for patent infringement, Cox filed counterclaims against MaxLinear. Cox alleges that MaxLinear granted CableLabs a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to all patents essential for compliance with DOCSIS specifications. It further alleges that MaxLinear breached this agreement when MaxLinear assigned certain patents to Entropic. Cox amended its counterclaims on January 9, 2024 and asserted claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and declaratory judgment. Cox seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, equitable relief, attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs. MaxLinear moved to dismiss Cox’s amended counterclaims on February 6, 2024. On February 14, 2025, the court dismissed with prejudice all the counterclaims against MaxLinear in this matter. MaxLinear intends to continue to vigorously defend its position against Cox’s remaining two counterclaims. 31 Table of Contents MAXLINEAR, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) DIRECTV Litigation On November 7, 2023, Entropic filed an amended complaint against DIRECTV, LLC, AT&T, Inc., AT&T Services, Inc., and AT&T Communications, LLC, in the Central District of California, for infringement of twelve patents. DIRECTV, LLC, or DIRECTV, filed its answer to the amended complaint on March 28, 2025. DIRECTV’s answer asserted five counterclaims against MaxLinear. The counterclaims against MaxLinear include two separate breach of contract claims, failure to negotiate in good faith, and declaratory judgment that MaxLinear’s transfer of patents to Entropic was void. MaxLinear intends to vigorously defend its position against these counterclaims. * * * The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2025, no material loss contingencies have been accrued for litigation and other legal claims in the consolidated financial statements, since the Company’s management currently does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any of the matters described above is probable. An unfavorable outcome of these matters may be reasonably possible in excess of recorded amounts; however, a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of such loss cannot be made at this time. Other Matters From time to time, the Company is subject to threats of litigation or actual litigation in the ordinary course of business as described above and in “ Part II. — Other Information, Item 1. — Legal Proceedings ,” some of which may be material. The results of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have a material adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. 16.
