Recent Developments On August 14, 2025, we completed the sale of our automotive ethernet business to Infineon Technologies AG for $2. 5 billion in cash. In connection with the transaction, during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $1.
8 billion. Subsequent to our fiscal 2026 year end, on February 2, 2026, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Celestial AI, Inc. (“Celestial”), a provider of a Photonic Fabric TM technology platform purpose-built for next-generation scale-up interconnect. The acquisition of Celestial is expected to accelerate our connectivity strategy for next-generation AI and cloud data centers. At acquisition close, we paid approximately $1. 3 billion in cash (or $1.
0 billion, net of cash acquired of approximately $300. 0 million) and issued approximately 24. 5 million shares of our common stock.

Management discussion and analysis
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Overview We are a leading supplier of data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, spanning the data center core to network edge. We are a fabless supplier of high-performance semiconductor products with core strengths in developing and scaling complex System-on-a-Chip architectures, integrating analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing functionality.
Leveraging leading intellectual property and deep system-level expertise, as well as highly innovative security firmware, our solutions are empowering the data economy and enabling the data center and communications and other end markets. Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth fiscal year will have a 53-week period. The additional week in a 53-week period is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. Fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 each had a 52-week period. Fiscal 2024 had a 53-week period.
Net revenue in fiscal 2026 was $8. 2 billion, 42% higher than net revenue of $5. 8 billion in fiscal 2025. This was due to increases in sales from the data center end market by 46% and from the communications and other end market by 31%. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales from our automotive ethernet product portfolio due to the divestiture of our automotive ethernet business at the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Strong revenue growth from our data center market was driven by AI-related demand for our custom products and electro-optics portfolio.
Additionally, following a period of inventory correction, we have continued to see revenue recovery in our communication and other end market growing significantly compared to fiscal 2025. On August 14, 2025, we completed the sale of our automotive ethernet business to Infineon Technologies AG for $2. 5 billion in cash. During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $1. 8 billion, which is included in interest income and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to our fiscal 2026 year end, on February 2, 2026, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Celestial AI, Inc.
(“Celestial”), a provider of a Photonic Fabric TM technology platform purpose-built for next-generation scale-up interconnect. The acquisition of Celestial is expected to accelerate our connectivity strategy for next-generation AI and cloud data centers. At acquisition close, we paid approximately $1. 3 billion in cash (or $1. 0 billion, net of cash acquired of approximately $300. 0 million) and issued approximately 24.
5 million shares of our common stock. Contingent on the achievement of specified revenue milestones, we may be required to pay additional cash and issue additional shares of our common stock through fiscal 2029. Subsequent to our fiscal 2026 year end, on February 10, 2026, we completed the previously announced acquisition of XConn Technologies Holdings, Ltd. (“XConn”), a provider of advanced PCIe and CXL switching silicon, which expands our switching portfolio and augments our Ultra Accelerator Link (“UALink TM ”) scale-up switch team. At acquisition close, we paid approximately $280. 0 million in cash and issued approximately 2.
1 million shares of our common stock. We continue to monitor the environment for potential long-term impact on supply and demand from tariffs. We expect that the U. S. government’s export restrictions on certain Chinese customers to continue to impact our revenue. Moreover, concerns that U.
S. companies may not be reliable suppliers as a result of these and other actions has caused, and may in the future cause, some of our customers in China to amass large inventories of our products well in advance of need or cause some of our customers to replace our products in favor of products from other suppliers. Customers in China may also choose to develop indigenous solutions, as replacements for products that are subject to U. S. export controls. In addition, there may be indirect impacts to our business that we cannot easily quantify such as the fact that some of our other customers’ products which use our solutions may also be impacted by export restrictions.
