Company Expects Q4 GAAP Gross Margin of 39% to 41%

The company states: "We expect Q4 GAAP gross margin to be in the range of 39% to 41%, with non-GAAP gross margin approximately 120 basis points higher than GAAP. As previously mentioned, please note that our Q4 GAAP Gross margin guidance does not include benefit of any tariff refunds. Our Q4 guidance embeds the latest announced tariff rates of 10% and 12.5% for goods imported from Malaysia and Vietnam, respectively. Memory prices are expected to be a $35 million headwind to Q4. Gross profit year over year, representing a headwind of approximately 1,000 basis points, which is approximately 600 basis points greater year over year impact than Q3. As Tom mentioned, we are actively working to mitigate some of this industry wide cost pressure. However, the Q4 gross margin guidance. I just provided only reflects a small portion of the mitigation benefit. As our action will take effect progressively through fiscal 2027. We are focused on managing this challenge thoughtfully, without losing sight of larger opportunity to drive top line growth and maximizing long term value. Expect Q4, GAAP operating expenses to be in the range of $160 million to $170 million. We expect non-GAAP operating expenses to be lower than GAAP by approximately $20 million. Please note that the extra week in Q4 contributes approximately $5 million of additional non-GAAP operating expenses in the quarter. Excluding this, the midpoint of our guidance implies that non-GAAP operating expenses grow by 4% year over year, mainly attributable to program expenses related to new product introductions. Bringing it all together, we expect Q4 adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of -$11 million to positive $18 million, or positive $3 million at the midpoint. As previously noted, we expect higher memory prices to reduce our Q4 adjusted EBITDA by $35 million, excluding higher memory prices. The midpoint of our guidance range implies adjusted EBITDA would have increased from $6 million last year to $38 million, or nearly six times last year."
