(Nasdaq: AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 2, 2025, provided guidance for its first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and announced its quarterly dividend. “In Q4, record revenue of $18.0 billion grew 28% year-over-year, driven primarily by AI semiconductor revenue increasing 74% year-over-year,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc. “We see the momentum continuing in Q1 and expect AI semiconductor revenue to double year-over-year to $8.2 billion, driven by custom AI accelerators and Ethernet AI switches. We forecast Q1’26 total revenue of $19.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA of 67%.” “In fiscal year 2025 adjusted EBITDA increased 35% year-over-year to a record $43.0 billion, and free cash flow was strong at $26.9 billion,” said Kirsten Spears, CFO of Broadcom Inc. “Based on increased cash flows in fiscal year 2025, we are increasing our quarterly common stock dividend by 10% to $0.65 per share for fiscal year 2026. The target fiscal year 2026 annual common stock dividend of $2.60 per share is a record, and the fifteenth consecutive increase in annual dividends since we initiated dividends in fiscal 2011.” ________________________________ (1) The Company is not readily able to provide a reconciliation of the projected non-GAAP financial information presented to the relevant projected GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. 1 Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Highlights GAAP Non-GAAP (Dollars in millions, except per share data) Q4 25 Q4 24 Change Q4 25 Q4 24 Change Net revenue $ 18,015  $ 14,054  +28 % $ 18,015  $ 14,054  +28 % Net income $ 8,518  $ 4,324  +97 % $ 9,714  $ 6,965  +39 % Earnings per common share - diluted $ 1.74  $ 0.90  +93 % $ 1.95  $ 1.42  +37 % (Dollars in millions) Q4 25 Q4 24 Change Cash flow from operations $ 7,703  $ 5,604  +37 % Adjusted EBITDA $ 12,218  $ 9,089  +34 % Free cash flow $ 7,466  $ 5,482  +36 % Net revenue by segment (Dollars in millions) Q4 25 Q4 24 Change Semiconductor solutions $ 11,072  61 % $ 8,230  59 % +35 % Infrastructure software 6,943  39 5,824  41 +19 % Total net revenue $ 18,015  100 % $ 14,054  100 % The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal quarter were $16,178 million, compared to $10,718 million at the end of the prior fiscal quarter.

Financial Results Conference Call Broadcom Inc. will host a conference call to review its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 and to discuss the business outlook today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. To Listen via Internet: The conference call can be accessed live online in the Investors section of the Broadcom website at https://investors.broadcom.com/. Replay: An audio replay of the conference call can be accessed for one year through the Investors section of Broadcom’s website at https://investors.broadcom.com/. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release. Broadcom believes non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company’s on-going performance. Therefore, Broadcom provides this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company’s on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. In addition to GAAP reporting, Broadcom provides investors with net income, operating income, gross margin, operating expenses, cash flow and other data on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related costs, including integration costs, non-GAAP tax reconciling adjustments, and other adjustments. Management does not believe that these 3 items are reflective of the Company’s underlying performance. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of evaluating the core operating performance of the Company, establishing internal budgets, calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives, comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models, strategic planning, evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates and how their operations compare to the Company’s operations, and benchmarking performance externally against the Company’s competitors. The exclusion of these and other similar items from Broadcom’s non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Free cash flow measures have limitations as they omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Investors should not consider presentation of free cash flow measures as implying that stockholders have any right to such cash. Broadcom’s free cash flow may not be calculated in a manner comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. About Broadcom Broadcom Inc.
