Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains 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, including statements related to our expectations regarding: net revenue, gross margins, operating expenses, operating income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, tax expense and tax rate, and net income (loss) per diluted share. Our expectations regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include, in no particular order, the following: the market and technology trends underlying our Video and Broadband businesses will not continue to develop in their current direction or pace; the possibility that our products will not generate sales that are commensurate with our expectations or that our cost of revenue or operating expenses may exceed our expectations; the impact of general economic conditions on our sales and operations; the mix of products and services sold in various geographies and the effect it has on gross margins; delays or decreases in capital spending in the cable, satellite, telco, broadcast and media industries; customer concentration and consolidation; our ability to develop new and enhanced products in a timely manner and market acceptance of our new or existing products; losses of one or more key customers; risks associated with our international operations; exchange rate fluctuations of the currencies in which we conduct business; risks associated with our cOS™ and VOS product solutions; dependence on various broadband and video industry trends; inventory management; the lack of timely availability or the impact of increases in the prices of parts or raw materials necessary to produce our products; the effect of competition, on both revenue and gross margins; difficulties associated with rapid technological changes in our markets; risks associated with unpredictable sales cycles; our dependence on contract manufacturers and sole or limited source suppliers; and the impact on our business of natural disasters. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in Harmonic’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and Harmonic disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or referred to herein as “reported”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide management and other users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our ongoing performance. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, establish operating budgets, set internal measurement targets and make operating decisions.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Harmonic’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Harmonic’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and its historical and projected results of operations. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The non-GAAP measures presented here are: Gross profit, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, non-operating expenses and net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA (including those amounts as a percentage of revenue) and net income (loss) per diluted share. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements provided with this press release. The non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from our GAAP financial measures.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:

Stock-based compensation – Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. We believe that management is limited in its ability to project the impact stock-based compensation would have on our operating results. In addition, for comparability purposes, we believe it is useful to provide a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate the comparison of our results to the results of our peer companies.

Restructuring and related charges – Harmonic from time to time incurs restructuring charges which primarily consist of employee severance, one-time termination benefits related to the reduction of its workforce, and other costs. These charges are associated with material business shifts. We exclude these items because we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing long-term business and operating results.

Non-cash interest expense expenses related to convertible notes and other debt – We record the amortization of issuance costs as non-cash interest expense. We believe that excluding these costs provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance and liquidity, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view the Company’s results from management’s perspective. In addition, we believe excluding these costs from the non-GAAP measures facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to peer company operating results.

Discrete tax items and tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments – The income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments relates to the tax effect of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.

Depreciation – Depreciation expense, along with interest, tax and stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring charges, is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because we do not believe depreciation and the other items relate to the ordinary course of our business or are reflective of our underlying business performance.

Non-recurring advisory fees – There were non-recurring costs that we excluded from non-GAAP results relating to professional accounting, tax and legal fees associated with strategic corporate initiatives.

Lease-related asset impairment and other charges – There were lease-related asset impairment and other charges that we excluded from non-GAAP results relating to the reduction of our leased office space, as we continue to adapt to the changing dynamics of work and seek to optimize value for our business. These charges primarily consist of right-of-use asset impairment and related leasehold improvement impairment, and the fair value of other unrecoverable facility costs due to the intended change in use of certain leased space.

Hyundai Motor Connects with Next Generation of Football Fans through ‘Hyundai NEXT Cup Tour’ on ‘Top Eleven’

Published

14 minutes ago

April 23, 2026

Hyundai Motor, together with Nordeus, launches the ‘Hyundai NEXT Cup Tour,’ an immersive in-game event on the popular mobile football management game ‘Top Eleven: Be a Football Manager’The campaign builds on Hyundai Motor’s 25+ year history in football, extending its presence beyond physical stadiums to connect with digital-native generations (Gen Z and Gen Alpha)The event integrates Hyundai Motor’s strategic vehicle models into a 10-nation virtual tour, reinterpreting their unique features as in-game football skillsThis collaboration marks Hyundai Motor’s expansion into the tactical football management genre, moving beyond traditional racing game partnerships

SEOUL, South Korea, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Company today announced the launch of the ‘Hyundai NEXT Cup Tour,’ a new in-game event in ‘Top Eleven : Be a Football Manager‘, one of the world’s most popular mobile football management games.

Running from April 23–May 2, the event coincides with Top Eleven’s 16th Anniversary season, leveraging a period of peak player engagement. As football fandom continues to evolve, Hyundai Motor has been exploring new ways to connect with fans across different environments and moments — from shared live experiences to more personal, digital-first forms of engagement. Rather than simply branching into new genres, the initiative broadens the football experience beyond physical venues — creating a vibrant space for fans to connect with the sport anytime, anywhere.

“For more than 25 years, football has been a powerful platform for Hyundai to connect with people worldwide. With the ‘Hyundai NEXT Cup Tour’ in Top Eleven, we are opening a new chapter by translating the energy and strategy of the game into an interactive experience. This collaboration feels native to digital-first audiences and reflects how the next generation engages with the sport they love.” – Sungwon Jee, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Marketing Officer at Hyundai Motor Company

“Hyundai Motor has, for years, been at the intersection of football and some of the world’s most celebrated brands, so welcoming them to the Top Eleven touchline is an exciting milestone. As the game approaches its 16th anniversary of delighting football fans worldwide, bringing this event to life at such a thrilling moment for football, together with Hyundai Motor, reflects Top Eleven’s commitment to continuously finding new ways to deliver unique, evergreen football stories for fans.” – Marko Jevtic, Executive Vice President at Nordeus

What is the ‘Hyundai NEXT Cup Tour’?

‘Hyundai NEXT Cup Tour’ invites Top Eleven players to manage their club through a series of 10 sequential missions across the world. The virtual tour begins in Indonesia and travels through 10 of Hyundai Motor’s key global markets, culminating in the United States, mirroring the brand’s story of global growth. This structure allows the brand to deliver high-impact engagement that connects with the game’s core loop of strategy, progression and decision-making.

How Does the In-Game Integration Work?

Rather than a one-way advertising exposure, the event seamlessly integrates Hyundai Motor’s flagship vehicle models into the player’s strategic journey. Each of the 10 tour stops features a locally representative model, with the vehicle’s unique selling proposition reinterpreted as an in-game football activity.

For example, IONIQ 5’s ultra-fast charging is framed as keeping a team’s condition high during a packed schedule, while INSTER’s blend of speed and compactness positions it well for reacting at a moment’s notice with velocity and agility. Players who progress through the in-game missions can earn exclusive, limited-edition Hyundai-branded in-game items, including a team jersey and an emblem.

This initiative reflects Hyundai Motor’s commitment to evolving its brand experience for digital natives, carrying the energy, unity and inspiration of sport into the next generation of gaming experiences.

Reports revenues of 52.5763 trillion won, operating profit of 37.6103 trillion won, net profit of 40.3459 trillion wonRecord-high quarterly performance driven by increased sales of high value-added products from strong AI demandBy launching advanced products, the company will try to address growing market demand in the looming agentic AI eraCompany to secure both stable supply and robust financial conditions through investment aligned with demand

SEOUL, South Korea, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has recorded 52.5763 trillion won in revenues, 37.6103 trillion won in operating profit (with an operating margin of 72%), and 40.3459 trillion won in net profit (with a net margin of 77%) in the first quarter.

Revenue surpassed 50 trillion won for the first time on a quarterly basis, while operating profit and operating margin reached record highs at 37.6 trillion won and 72%, respectively[1]. Operating profit has nearly doubled compared to the previous quarter, clearly demonstrating an improving profitability.

[1] 4Q2025 Revenue: 32.8267 trillion won / 4Q2025 Operating Profit: 19.1696 trillion won

SK hynix noted that despite the fact that first quarter is typically a seasonal downturn, strong demand persisted due to expanded investments in AI infrastructure. The company sustained its upward performance trend by increasing sales of high-value-added products, including HBM, high-capacity server DRAM modules, and eSSDs.

Building on this strong performance, the company’s cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter increased by 19.4 trillion won from the previous quarter, reaching 54.3 trillion won. Meanwhile, interest bearing debt stood at 19.3 trillion won down 2.9 trillion won from the previous quarter, enabling the company to reach a net cash position of 35 trillion won.

The company analyzed that as AI evolves from large model training to the stage of agentic AI, which repeatedly performs real-time inference across various service environments, the foundation for memory demand is expanding across both DRAM and NAND flash.

SK hynix also predicted that the spread of memory efficiency technologies will enhance the economic viability of AI services, leading to an expansion of the overall service scale and further drive memory demand. Based on this, the company forecasted that favorable pricing conditions will continue for both DRAM and NAND flash.

To meet this demand, the company, plans to continue rolling out new products across both DRAM and NAND flash to address the diversifying memory demand.

Regarding HBM, the company will further strengthen its capabilities, encompassing performance, yield, quality, and supply stability. In DRAM, the company will fully ramp up the shipment of LPDDR6, which applied 1cnm process, or the sixth-generation of the 10-nanometer technology, for the world’s first time, and the 192GB SOCAMM2, which is based on the same process and began mass production this month.

For NAND flash, the company will flexibly address AI demand with CTF[2] based 321-layer QLC[3] cSSD ‘PQC21’, and eSSD lineup of high-performance TLC and high-capacity QLC. Especially, by leveraging synergies with Solidigm, which holds strengths in high-capacity QLC eSSDs, the company plans to strengthen its competitiveness in the AI data center and AI PC storage markets.

[2] Charge Trap Flash (CTF): Unlike floating gate, which stores electric charges in conductors, CTF stores electric charges in insulators, which eliminates interference between cells, improving read and write performance while reducing cell area per unit compared to floating gate technology.

[3] Quad-level cell (QLC): NAND flash is categorized as single-level cell (SLC), multi-level cell (MLC), triple-level cell (TLC), QLC, and penta-level cell (PLC) depending on how many data bits can be stored in one cell. As the amount of information storage increases, more data can be stored in the same volume.

Meanwhile, SK hynix emphasized that within the environment where customer demand exceeds supply capacity, securing stable supply capability to meet the structural demand growth of the AI era has emerged as a key competitive advantage.

Accordingly, the company explained that this year’s investment scale will increase significantly compared to the previous year, focusing on the ramp-up of M15X, infrastructure preparation on the Yongin cluster, and securing key equipment such as EUV.

The company highlighted that it will secure both stable supply and robust financial conditions through investment aligned with demand and will strategically expand production bases to proactively respond to long-term demand growth.
