Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) ("Supermicro" or the "Company"), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, today announced unaudited financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2026 ended September 30, 2025.

First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights

  • Net sales of $5.0 billion versus $5.8 billion in Q4'25 and $5.9 billion in Q1'25
  • Gross margin of 9.3% versus 9.5% in Q4'25 and 13.1% in Q1'25
  • Net income of $168 million versus $195 million in Q4'25 and $424 million in Q1'25
  • Diluted net income per common share of $0.26 versus $0.31 in Q4'25 and $0.67 in Q1'25
  • Non-GAAP diluted net income per common share of $0.35 versus $0.73 in Q1'25
  • Cash flow used by operations for Q1'26 of $918 million and capital expenditures of $32 million

"Powered by DCBBS, Supermicro is expanding/transforming into a leading AI and datacenter infrastructure company, delivering total solutions that simplify deployment, accelerate time-to-market, and reduce TCO," said Charles Liang, Founder, President and CEO of Supermicro. "With a rapidly expanding order book, including more than $13B in Blackwell Ultra orders, we expect at least $36 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2026."

The Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was 9.5% with adjustments for stock-based compensation expenses of $7 million. The Non-GAAP diluted net income per common share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $0.35.

As of September 30, 2025, total cash and cash equivalents was $4.2 billion and total bank debt and convertible notes were $4.8 billion.

Business Outlook

The Company expects net sales of $10.0 billion to $11.0 billion for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 ending December 31, 2025, GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.37 to $0.45 and non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.46 to $0.54. The Company's projections for GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share assume a tax rate of approximately 15.6% and 16.8%, respectively, and a fully diluted share count of 666 million shares for GAAP and fully diluted share count of 680 million shares for non-GAAP. The outlook for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 GAAP net income per diluted share includes approximately $64 million in expected stock-based compensation, net of related tax effects of $18 million that are excluded from non-GAAP net income per diluted share.

For fiscal year 2026, the Company expects net sales of at least $36.0 billion.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained in this press release that are not historical fact may be forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "may," "plan," "seek," "should," "will," "would" "optimistic" or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Such forward looking statements may include statements regarding, among other things, guidance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 and updated full year fiscal 2026 guidance, expectations that additional customer commitments will be secured in the upcoming quarters of fiscal year 2026, meeting the Company's long-term targets and capitalizing on the growing market opportunity in the long-term, and our progressing leadership in DCBBS, DLC and AI technology. Such forward looking statements do not constitute guarantees of future performance and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including: (i) our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, (ii) as we increasingly target larger customers and larger sales opportunities, our customer base may become more concentrated, our cost of sales may increase, our margins may be lower and our sales may become less predictable for a variety of reasons, many of which are not in our control, (iii) the average sales prices for our server solutions could decline if customers do not continue to purchase our latest generation products or additional components, and (v) adverse economic conditions could affect our business, including, but not limited to, increased tariffs. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not result in changes to condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or statements of cash flows. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested in any forward looking statements are detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in such filings, particularly in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses non-GAAP measures that are adjusted for certain items from the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The specific non-GAAP measures presented below are: gross profit, gross margin; operating expenses; net income; net income per common share; diluted net income; diluted net income per common share, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"); and effective tax rate. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors by offering a consistent basis for comparing the Company's performance across periods, excluding items that are not reflective of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or intended to be a replacement for GAAP financial data; and therefore, should be reviewed together with the GAAP measures and are not intended to serve as a substitute for results under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

We exclude the following adjustments from our non-GAAP financial measures:

Non-GAAP Adjustments

  • Stock-based compensation: Stock-based compensation relates primarily to our equity incentive awards. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that is dependent on market forces that are difficult to predict. We believe that this adjustment for stock-based compensation provides investors with a basis to measure the company's core performance, including compared with the performance of other companies, without the period-to-period variability created by stock-based compensation.
  • Adjusted EBITDA adjustments: When calculating Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the adjustments described above, we exclude the impact of Interest expense, Income tax (provision) benefit, and Depreciation and amortization during the period.

Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, please see the tables below for the reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures. These should be read together with the preceding financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
