Exhibits 26 Signatures 27 Table of Contents Special Note about Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “aims,” “anticipated,” “believes,” “budget,” “can,” “certain,” “committed,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “estimates,” “expect,” “future,” “growing,” “indicative,” “intended,” “may,” “mission,” “opportunities,” “plan,” “position,” “potential,” “predict,” “probable,” “projections,” “scheduled,” “should,” “to be,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our business plans, strategies, market or investment opportunities, platform, products and services, including future investments therein and anticipated benefits therefrom; demand; our future financial or operating performance and growth (such as revenue, gross profit and margins, expenses, income (losses) and other operating results); our future cash flows, expenditures, requirements, uses, sufficiency and funding sources; our accounting practices and policies (including the impacts associated with them and accounting pronouncements, estimates, accruals, amortizations, commitments/contingencies, warrant vesting, the period over which expenses are expected to be realized and non-GAAP financial measures); our taxes; our personnel and operations; our disclosure and internal controls, procedures and remediation efforts; our lease terms, including any renewal and future payments; our risk factors; our merger and acquisition activities; and our legal and compliance matters such as legal proceedings and 10b5-1 trading arrangements. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, expectations or events disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and those included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2026. The following include some, but not all, of the factors that could cause the outcome of the events described in our forward-looking statements to differ from those anticipated: • our ability to sustain and manage our growth effectively; • our ability to maintain future profitability; • our ability to accurately predict future revenue for appropriate budgeting and expense adjustment; • our ability to anticipate and respond to new and evolving market trends or industry standards, develop and sell new products, or penetrate new markets; • our customer concentration, with a limited number of end customers driving our revenue; • our ability to achieve product design wins and opportunities for customer sales and investment recoupment; • our ability to demonstrate the value of new products or newer product generations to customers; • our AI technology adoption, use, and commercialization; • our reliance on, and relationship management of, a limited number of third-party manufacturing and supply chain services partners; • our ability to successfully qualify our products with customers without significant delays; • our product pricings often decrease over time; • product supply disruptions, unforeseen product delays, expenses or undetected defects, bugs, or security vulnerabilities; • adverse changes in the political, regulatory, and economic policies of governments, including in connection with trade restrictions and export controls with respect to China and Chinese customers; • our ability to hire and retain skilled personnel and senior management team members; • cybersecurity risks; • warranty claims or product liability claims; • litigation and other legal proceedings, including related to patents or other intellectual property; • our ability to successfully integrate and to realize anticipated benefits or synergies, on a timely basis or at all, in connection with our past, current, or any future acquisitions, divestitures, significant investments, joint ventures or strategic transactions; • global operational risks, including exposure to numerous legal and regulatory requirements and unexpected changes and compliance failures; Table of Contents • regulatory risks of authorities in jurisdictions into or from which we ship our products or import supplies levying fines, restricting or delaying our product exports or supply imports, or increasing product manufacturing or transfer costs; • changes in tax laws, rules or practices; • our competitive markets and ability to compete effectively, including as a result of industry consolidation; • our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights; • our reliance on third-party technologies for product development and future ability to use such technologies; and • global financial and economic conditions and geopolitical events, including fluctuating interest, inflation, foreign currency and unemployment rates, economic slowdowns or recessions, or financial market volatility, including as a result of, among other factors, the ongoing Russia and Ukraine war, the Middle East conflict, announced or future tariff increases and export controls between the U.S. and China, international tensions or instability, significant changes in governmental policies or similar events. We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on management’s current beliefs and our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment.

Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial position, have been included. Operating results for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal year or any future period. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Astera Labs, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with the significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company’s significant estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the valuation of acquired intangible assets, the valuation and realizability of deferred tax assets, reserves for uncertain tax positions, useful life of production equipment, the valuation of warrants, and the valuation and assumptions underlying stock-based compensation. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company assessed certain accounting matters and estimates that generally require consideration of forecasted information available to the Company. Management is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to estimates or judgments or a revision to the carrying value of assets or liabilities. These estimates and judgments may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, which may result in changes being recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future periods, and actual results could differ from these estimates. 5 Table of Contents Reclassifications Certain prior period balances were reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. None of these reclassifications had an impact on reported net income, balance sheets, or cash flows for any of the periods presented. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2025-01, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 2020-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures of the nature of expenses included in the income statement and disclosures about specific expense categories included in the expense captions presented in the statements of operations. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these new standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-04, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer (“ASU 2025-04”). ASU 2025-04 reduces diversity in practice and improves the decision usefulness and operability of the guidance for share-based consideration payable to a customer in conjunction with selling goods or services. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 with updates to be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other -Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 removes all references to project stages throughout Subtopic 350-40 and clarifies the threshold that the entities must meet to begin capitalizing costs. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 2. Segment and Geographical Information The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. The CODM uses net income to evaluate the return on assets and to determine investment opportunities related to product development, platform enhancements, and new technologies. The CODM also uses net income to monitor budget versus actual results. The Company manages its operations and allocates resources as a single operating segment . 6 Table of Contents The following table includes the significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Revenue $ 308,361   $ 159,442   Less: Cost of revenue 73,220   40,031 Stock-based compensation (1) 48,414   42,484 Personnel-related expenses (1) 63,305   42,439 Other segment items (2) 43,112   2,669 Consolidated net income $ 80,310   $ 31,819   (1) Stock-based compensation and personnel-related expenses presented in the above table are related to operating expenses and exclude amounts included in the cost of revenue. (2) Other segment items included are primarily related to interest income, income tax benefit, engineering design related costs, and professional and consulting services fees. Revenue by location is determined by the billing address of the Company’s customers, which includes the Company’s end customers’ manufacturing partners and the Company’s distributors. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Taiwan $ 93,155   $ 76,818   Singapore 91,138   31,421   China 89,571   44,638   United States 14,967   3,301   Other 19,530   3,264   Total $ 308,361   $ 159,442   The Company had the following customers that individually comprised 10% or more of its revenue: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Customer A 29   % 12   % Customer B 21   % 26   % Customer C 16   % * Customer D 12   % 23   % Customer E 12   % * Customer F * 19   % *Less than 10% of total revenue Certain of the customers listed above are manufacturing partners that purchase the Company's products on behalf of the Company’s end customers. As end customers may shift production volumes among their manufacturing partners from period to period, the revenue concentration percentages attributable to individual direct customers may fluctuate in a manner that is not necessarily representative of changes in underlying end-customer demand. 7 Table of Contents The Company had the following customers that individually comprised 10% or more of its accounts receivable, net: As of March 31, 2026 December 31, 2025 Customer A 25   % * Customer B 20   % 27   % Customer C 16   % 14   % Customer D 17   % * Customer E 13   % 28   % *Less than 10% of total accounts receivable, net The Company did not recognize any material allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, 20 % and 73 % of the Company’s property and equipment, net was located in the United States and Taiwan, respectively.   3. Marketable Securities The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of available-for-sale securities by major security type are as follows (in thousands): As of March 31, 2026 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 130,361   $ -   $ -   $ 130,361   Total cash equivalents $ 130,361   $ -   $ -   $ 130,361   Marketable securities U.S. treasury and agency securities $ 202,999   $ 235   $ ( 434 ) $ 202,800   Commercial paper 9,619   1   ( 7 ) 9,613   Corporate debt securities 824,351   1,307   ( 1,882 ) 823,776   Total marketable securities $ 1,036,969   $ 1,543   $ ( 2,323 ) $ 1,036,189   As of December 31, 2025 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 142,772   $ -   $ -   $ 142,772   Commercial paper 5,496   -   ( 1 ) 5,495   Total cash equivalents $ 148,268   $ -   $ ( 1 ) $ 148,267   Marketable securities U.S. treasury and agency securities $ 203,175   $ 630   $ ( 11 ) $ 203,794   Commercial paper 11,459   4   ( 1 ) 11,462   Corporate debt securities 802,261   3,800   ( 112 ) 805,949   Total marketable securities $ 1,016,895   $ 4,434   $ ( 124 ) $ 1,021,205   8 Table of Contents As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s marketable securities that were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more, as well as the unrealized losses on those marketable securities, were not material. Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income as the Company neither intends to sell, nor anticipates that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The decline in fair value is due primarily to changes in market interest rates, rather than credit losses. The contractual maturities of cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are as follows (in thousands): As of March 31, 2026 As of December 31, 2025 Amortized Cost Estimated Fair Value Amortized Cost Estimated Fair Value Due within one year $ 441,213   $ 441,573   $ 463,417   $ 464,282   Due after one year through five years 726,117   724,977   701,746   705,190   Total available-for-sale securities $ 1,167,330   $ 1,166,550   $ 1,165,163   $ 1,169,472   Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The Company did not recognize any material allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 or impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. There were no material realized gains or losses from available-for-sale securities that were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. 4. Fair Value Measurements Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The Company considers fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes the following three-level fair value hierarchy to establish the priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on the fair value hierarchy as follows (in thousands): As of March 31, 2026 Level 1 Level 2 Total Fair Value Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 130,361   $ —   $ 130,361   Total cash equivalents $ 130,361   $ —   $ 130,361   Marketable securities U.S. treasury and agency securities $ —   $ 202,800   $ 202,800   Commercial paper —   9,613   9,613   Corporate debt securities —   823,776   823,776   Total marketable securities $ —   $ 1,036,189   $ 1,036,189   9 Table of Contents As of December 31, 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Total Fair Value Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 142,772   $ -   $ 142,772   Commercial paper -   5,495   5,495   Total cash equivalents $ 142,772   $ 5,495   $ 148,267   Marketable securities U.S. treasury and agency securities $ -   $ 203,794   $ 203,794   Commercial paper -   11,462   11,462   Corporate debt securities -   805,949   805,949   Total marketable securities $ -   $ 1,021,205   $ 1,021,205   As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no marketable securities with Level 3 fair value hierarchy measurement. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and certain equity investments without readily determinable fair values are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if the Company is required to evaluate these assets for impairment, whether due to certain triggering events or because of the required annual impairment test, and a resulting impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the fair value, these assets are measured at fair value during such period. There was no impairment on these assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets and Liabilities N ot Measured at Fair Value The carryi ng amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximates their respective fair values because of their short maturities. 5.

The lease terms are expected to commence at various dates between April 2026 and March 2027 and will expire in November 2032. 12 Table of Contents 8. Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Commitments The Company depends upon third-party subcontractors to manufacture wafers and other inventory parts or to perform certain services. The Company’s subcontractor relationships typically allow for the cancellation of outstanding purchase orders but require payment of all expenses incurred through the date of cancellation. The Company’s purchase commitments also include payments for software licenses and cloud services when there is a fixed, non-cancellable payment schedule or when minimum payments are due according to a delivery schedule. The Company is committed to make the following minimum payments under its purchase commitments as of March 31, 2026 (in thousands): Purchase Commitments Remainder of 2026 $ 29,594   2027 34,960   2028 14,701   2029 339   2030 21   Total purchase commitments $ 79,615   Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings or claims, nor is the Company aware of any other pending or threatened legal proceedings or claims that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such legal proceedings or claims be resolved unfavorably. Indemnification Obligations In the ordinary course of business, the Company often includes standard indemnification provisions in its arrangements with its members, partners, suppliers and vendors. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred in connection with its service, breach of representations or covenants, intellectual property infringement or other claims made against such parties. These provisions may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. The Company has not in the past incurred significant expense defending its licensees against third party claims, nor has it incurred significant expense under its standard service warranties or arrangements with its members, partners, suppliers, and vendors. Accordingly, the Company had no liabilities recorded for these provisions as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. 9. Common Stock Warrants In October 2022, the Company issued a warrant to a customer (“Holder”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,484,230 shares of Common Stock (the “Customer Warrant”). The exercise period of the Customer Warrant is through the seven th anniversary of the issue date. In October 2023, the Company amended the Customer Warrant and issued an additional warrant to the Holder to purchase an aggregate of up to 831,945 shares of Common Stock (the “2023 Warrant”), with the same exercise period as the Customer Warrant. The 2023 Warrant will vest and become exercisable over the contract term, contingent upon the achievement of performance conditions, comprised of specified tranches of purchases by the Holder and its affiliates to the Company. In February 2026, the Company issued a warrant to the Holder to acquire up to an aggregate of 3,262,299 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 142.82 per share (the “2026 Warrant”, and together with the Customer Warrant and the 2023 Warrant, the “Warrants”). The 2026 Warrant will vest and become exercisable over the contract term, contingent upon the achievement of performance conditions, comprised of specified tranches of purchases by the Holder and its affiliates to the Company. The grant date fair value of the 2026 Warrant were determined to be $ 85.83 per share, using the Black-Scholes- 13 Table of Contents Merton option pricing model, for maximum total 2026 Warrant fair value of $ 280.0  million. The per share grant date fair values of the 2026 Warrant were estimated using the following assumptions: 2026 Warrant Expected dividend yield — % Risk-free interest rate 4.3 % Expected volatility 54.8 % Expected term (in years) 7.0 Per share fair value of common stock $ 142.82   As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, an aggregate of 1,331,902 shares and 1,165,513 shares, respectively, of the underlying Warrants were vested and exercisable. Additionally, an aggregate of 73,085 and 30,589 shares were probable of vesting as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. There were no warrant exercises as of March 31, 2026. The Company recognized $ 2.1 million and $ 0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as a reduction of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income related to the Warrants. The remaining grant date fair values of the Warrants that are probable of vesting will be recognized as a reduction of revenue in proportion to the amount of related product sales, which could occur until January 2, 2033. 10.

Anti-dilutive potential shares are as follows (in thousands): 15 Table of Contents Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 RSUs 600   577   12. Income Taxes The Company's income tax benefit recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows (in thousands, except percentages): Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Income tax benefit $ ( 6,896 ) $ ( 10,102 ) Effective tax rate ( 9.4 ) % ( 46.5 ) % On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act") was signed into law. The legislation includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses including, but not limited to, the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, and revisions to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from international operations. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions were effective in 2025 and others becoming effective through 2027. The Company has assessed the effects of the new tax legislation, including immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures and revisions to foreign-derived intangible income provision for the calendar year, and the results have been reflected in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company accrues for income taxes during interim periods based on the estimated effective tax rate for the year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is different than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowance in the United States and the excess tax benefits related to equity compensation, foreign derived intangible income deduction and U.S. research and development credits, which results in current tax benefits. The determination of the realizability of deferred tax assets requires significant judgment in assessing if there is sufficient positive evidence to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. If the Company continues to achieve positive operating results, it may release the valuation allowance associated with its U.S. deferred tax assets in future periods. A release of all, or a portion, of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and may result in a material decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is different than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the valuation allowance in the United States and the excess tax benefits related to equity compensation, foreign derived intangible income deduction and U.S. research and development credits, which results in current tax benefit. This is offset by the current tax expense from the capitalization of research and development expenditures under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code. 16 Table of Contents Item 2.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), which we use to supplement the performance measures in our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. We refer to these measures as “non-GAAP financial measures.” These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to assist us in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. By excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core operating results, we believe that non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others because they allow for additional information with respect to financial measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they may be used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures, and these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin We define non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. The non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenue. We have presented non-GAAP gross profit because we consider non-GAAP gross profit to be a useful metric for investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating performance as it excludes the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, a charge that can vary from period to period for reasons that are unrelated to our core operating performance. This metric also provides investors and other users of our financial information with an additional tool to eliminate the effects of items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to core operating performanc e . 20 Table of Contents A reconciliation of our GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, to non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin is presented below: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 (in thousands, except percentages) GAAP gross profit $ 235,141  $ 119,411  Stock-based compensation expense 499  (38) Non-GAAP gross profit $ 235,640  $ 119,373  GAAP gross margin 76.3  % 74.9  % Stock-based compensation expense 0.2  —  Non-GAAP gross margin (1) 76.4  % 74.9  % (1) Total may not sum due to rounding. Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin We define non-GAAP operating income as operating income presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and acquisition-related costs. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating income divided by revenue. We have presented non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin because we consider them useful metrics for investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating our operating performance as it excludes the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs, a charge that can vary from period to period or are one time charges for reasons that are unrelated to our core operating performance. These metrics also provide investors and other users of our financial information with an additional tool to eliminate the effects of items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to core operating performanc e . A reconciliation of our GAAP operating income and GAAP operating margin, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, to non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin is presented below: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 (in thousands, except percentages) GAAP operating income $ 61,833  $ 11,285  Stock-based compensation expense 48,913  42,446  Acquisition-related costs (1) 983  —  Non-GAAP operating income $ 111,729  $ 53,731  GAAP operating margin 20.1  % 7.1  % Stock-based compensation expense 15.9  26.6  Acquisition-related costs (1) 0.3  —  Non-GAAP operating margin (2) 36.2  % 33.7  % (1) Acquisition-related costs include certain incremental expenses incurred to effect a business combination such as third-party costs: advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional fees. (2) Total may not sum due to rounding. Non-GAAP Net Income We monitor non-GAAP net income for planning and performance measurement purposes. We define non-GAAP net income as net income presented in accordance with GAAP on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, 21 Table of Contents excluding the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related costs, and the related tax impact on the adjustments. We have presented non-GAAP net income because we believe that the exclusion of these charges allows for a more relevant comparison of our results of operations to other companies in our industry and facilitates period-to-period comparisons as it eliminates the effect of certain factors unrelated to our overall operating performance. A reconciliation of our GAAP net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to our non-GAAP net income is presented below: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 (in thousands) GAAP net income $ 80,310  $ 31,819  Stock-based compensation expense 48,913  42,446  Acquisition-related costs (1) 983  —  Income tax effect (2) (20,137) (14,638) Non-GAAP net income $ 110,069  $ 59,627  (1) Acquisition-related costs include certain incremental expenses incurred to effect a business combination such as third-party costs: advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional fees. (2) Income tax effect is calculated based on the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate and is calculated to exclude the impact of non-cash s tock-based compensation expense and one-off discrete tax adjustments that are unrelated to our core operating performance. We no longer maintain valuation allowance for non-GAAP purposes due to our cumulative tax profits on a non-GAAP basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the non-GAAP tax rate was approximately 11% and 7%, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from equity issuances including net proceeds from our IPO, and cash generated from the sale of our products. As of March 31, 2026 , our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $1.2 billion . Our principal use of cash is t o fund our operations, invest in research and development, fund capital expenditures for production equipment, acquisitions of businesses or technologies, and to support our overall growth. We generated $74.6 million in cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and a retained earnings of $90.6 million as of March 31, 2026. W e believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months and beyond. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factor s , including our growth rate, the timing and extent of our sales and marketing and research and development expenditures, capital expenditures for production equipment, the continuing market acceptance of our product s , and the use of cash to fund potential mergers or acquisitions. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may seek to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked arrangements, and debt. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired and at reasonable rates, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. Cash Flows The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change (in thousands) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 74,598  $ 10,504  $ 64,094  Net cash used in investing activities $ (94,007) $ (3,940) $ (90,067) Net cash provided by financing activities $ 82  $ 386  $ (304) 22 Table of Contents Change in Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $74.6 million, compared to $10.5 million for the comparable period in 2025. The $64.1 million increase in operating cash inflows was a result of a $48.5 million increase in net income, higher non-cash charges of $12.3 million, and a favorable change of $3.3 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The higher non-cash charges of $12.3 million were primarily due to a $6.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, $2.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $1.7 million increase in warrants contra revenue, and $1.3 million increase in accretion of discounts on marketable securities. The favorable change of $3.3 million in operating assets and liabilities was predominantly attributable to a $28.4 million favorable change in the prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $7.1 million favorable change in inventory. The favorable change was partially offset by (i) a $20.8 million unfavorable changes in accounts receivable due to higher product sales and the timing of customer payments, and (ii) a $11.4 million unfavorable change in accounts payables and accrued other liabilities primarily due to the timing of payments. Change in Cash Flows from Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $94.0 million, compared to $3.9 million for the comparable period in 2025. The $90.1 million increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a $65.0 million increase associated with the acquisition of a business, a $53.7 million decrease in proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, and a $3.0 million increase in proceeds used in purchase of property and equipment, partially offset by a $34.2 million decrease in purchases of marketable securities. Change in Cash Flows from Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million, compared to $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2025. The $0.3 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to a decrease related to proceeds received from exercises of stock options.

Critical Accounting Estimates Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period presented. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual 23 Table of Contents results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be affected. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 . Recent Accounting Pronouncements For more information, see Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the unaudited condensed c onsolidated f inancial s tatements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk are described in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes to the interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk described as of December 31, 2025. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. 24 Table of Contents Part II - Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings We are not currently a party to any material pending legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
