Direct sales to one semiconductor solutions distributor represented 50% of quarterly net revenue and 46% of year-to-date net revenue, up from 32% and 30%, respectively, in the prior-year periods. Broadcom’s top five end customers across all channels represented approximately 55% of quarterly net revenue and 50% year-to-date, compared with approximately 40% in each prior-year period. Large orders, delayed orders, AI and wireless deployment timing, and product launches can cause significant quarterly revenue fluctuations. The company stated that losing a top-five end customer or experiencing a significant demand reduction could materially affect business, results of operations, and financial condition.
