Maxlinear, Inc.
A fabless chip designer that builds the systems-on-chip inside broadband gateways, Wi-Fi routers, 5G base stations, and data-center optical links, MaxLinear was founded in 2003 in Carlsbad, California, by eight semiconductor veterans including CEO Kishore Seendripu and CTO Curtis Ling. Its name blends "max" for maximum performance with "linear" for the analog signal processing at its core. Fun fact: before 2009, most of its revenue came from tiny TV-receiver chips that let Japanese mobile phones pick up digital broadcasts.

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Foreign Currency Risk To date, our international customer and vendor agreements have been denominated mostly in United States dollars. Accordingly, we have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and do not enter into foreign currency hedging transactions. The functional currency of certain foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Accordingly, the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the net assets of these foreign subsidiaries’ operations are accounted for as translation gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. A hypothetical change of 100 basis points in such foreign currency exchange rates during the six months ended June 30, 2026 would result in a change to translation gain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of approximately $0.9 million. Interest Rate Risk We are subject to a variable amount of interest on the principal balance of our credit agreements described above and could be adversely impacted by high interest rates in the future. If SOFR interest rates had increased by 10% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the rate increase would have resulted in an immaterial increase to interest expense. We currently believe our operating cash held primarily for working capital purpose is sufficient to cover our interest obligations, but we are monitoring the impact of high interest rates on our ability to service our interest and debt obligations, obtain financing, and on our business in general.
