The people

Kishore Seendripu co-founded MaxLinear and has been its chairman, president and chief executive since it began in September 2003. Before that he designed radio chips: he was director of RF and mixed-signal IC design at Silicon Wave and earlier on the technical staff of Broadcom, and he holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley. Steven Litchfield has been chief financial officer and chief corporate strategy officer since July 2018; before that he was chief strategy officer of Microsemi from 2009 until Microchip Technology bought it in May 2018. Connie Kwong has been corporate controller and principal accounting officer since February 2016. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Thomas Pardun, a director since July 2009 and once non-executive chairman of Western Digital, is the lead director who leads the board alongside Seendripu, whose chairmanship the bylaws tie to the chief executive's job. Albert Moyer, a director since October 2009, before the initial public offering, is due to retire at the 2026 annual meeting. Other directors come from the chip and optical industries: Daniel Artusi, since November 2018, ran Intel's connected home division and Lantiq; Gregory Dougherty, since March 2020, was chief executive of Oclaro; and Kris Sennesael, who joined in February 2026, is chief financial officer of Western Digital and was finance chief of Skyworks. [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

At the end of 2025 MaxLinear had 1,115 full-time employees in 16 countries: 786 in research and development, 200 in sales and marketing, 27 in operations and 102 in administration. Just over half, 53%, were in Asia, 25% in the Americas, 12% in Europe and 10% in the Middle East, and contractors made up a further 15% of the workforce. Its design teams sit in Carlsbad, Irvine and San Jose in California, Singapore, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Taipei, Hsinchu, India, Germany, Israel and Spain. Voluntary turnover was 14% in 2025, and a workforce reduction cost 6.9 million dollars in severance and related costs that year. [16, 17, 18, 19, 20]

How it operates

MaxLinear designs communications chips, systems on a chip that put a high-speed link's radio, analog, digital and power circuits on one piece of silicon. Its broadband chips go into cable modems built to the DOCSIS standard, fiber (PON) gateways and DSL modems; its connectivity chips handle Wi-Fi, Ethernet and MoCA, networking over a home's coaxial cable; its infrastructure products include radio transceivers and modems for 4G and 5G base stations and backhaul, and optical chips for hyperscale data centers; and its industrial and multi-market line sells interface and power management chips. It also earns revenue from sales of intellectual property. [21, 22, 23, 24, 25]

It sells to module makers, equipment makers (OEMs) and contract designers and builders (ODMs), directly and through distributors, which took 37% of 2025 revenue against 50% in 2023. Its ten largest customers brought in 65% of revenue in 2025, up from 54% in 2023, and two customers alone took 28%: one took 16%, after 12% in 2024 and 10% in 2023, and another 12%. None is named. All buy on purchase orders with no long-term commitments, usually six to twenty-six weeks before delivery, and once a chip is designed into a product it usually stays for that product's life. [26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32]

By where products ship, Asia took 82% of 2025 revenue, with 49% going to Hong Kong and 12% to Vietnam, Europe 13% and the United States 4%, down from 13% in 2024. The filing says most of those chips end up in systems that Asian ODMs and contract manufacturers sell into Europe and North America, and that all of its sales are in US dollars. [33, 34, 35]

MaxLinear is fabless, meaning it designs chips and hires others to make them. Its key foundries are TSMC in Taiwan and UMC in Taiwan and Singapore, on processes from standard CMOS to silicon germanium and gallium arsenide and from 0.25 micron down to 4 nanometer, and Intel supplies certain products to it finished, on a turnkey basis. ASE, Greatek, Signetics, SIGURD and Silicon Precision Industries do most of the assembly and test. Its three largest suppliers took 32%, 25% and 13% of 2025 inventory purchases, and it places firm orders up to twenty-six weeks ahead, sometimes before its own customers have ordered. [36, 37, 38, 39, 40]

The specifics

MaxLinear was incorporated in Delaware in September 2003 and is based in Carlsbad, California. Its largest recent event is a deal that did not happen: in May 2022 it agreed to buy Silicon Motion, a maker of NAND flash controllers for solid state drives, then terminated the agreement on July 26, 2023, saying closing conditions could not be met and Silicon Motion had suffered a material adverse effect. Silicon Motion began arbitration at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre on October 5, 2023, seeking the termination fee and further damages; MaxLinear says it terminated properly and will defend its right to do so without penalty. Silicon Motion stockholders also sued: one suit was dismissed with prejudice in July 2025 and is on appeal, and all but one claim of the other was dismissed in September 2025. [41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49]

It is also suing Comcast: in December 2023 it alleged that it had shared its design and know-how for a full-duplex (FDX) cable amplifier with Comcast under a non-disclosure agreement, and that Comcast passed those designs to a direct competitor of MaxLinear. Export rules shape its business too: since October 2022 it has restricted or curtailed business with certain customers and partners in China because of restrictions from the US Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security. [50, 51, 52, 53, 54]

Its edge, in its own telling, is designing radio and analog circuits in CMOS, the standard digital chip process, so that a whole communication system fits on one chip at lower power and cost. It holds over one thousand issued patents. It names Broadcom, Qualcomm, Realtek, Skyworks, Credo, MediaTek, Marvell, MACOM, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Renesas, Microchip and Semtech as its main merchant competitors, and it also competes with chips made in house by vertically integrated optical module makers. [55, 56, 57, 58]

What drives growth, line by line

Broadband. The largest line, at 204.4 million dollars, 43.7% of 2025 revenue, up 75.0% from 116.8 million. The filing credits higher volumes of broadband SoC and cable data shipments. [59, 60]

Infrastructure. 148.2 million dollars, 31.7% of revenue, up 30.1%, on more shipments of high-performance analog, wireless backhaul, access and optical products, partly offset by lower intellectual property licensing revenue in this line. [59, 61]

Connectivity. 78.0 million dollars, 16.7% of revenue, up 39.8%, on higher volumes of Wi-Fi, Ethernet and MoCA product shipments. [59, 62]

Industrialandmultimarket. The one line that shrank: industrial and multi-market revenue was 37.1 million dollars, 7.9% of revenue, down 49.9% from 74.0 million, on lower shipments of high-performance analog and component products. [59, 63]

In all, revenue rose 29.7% to 467.6 million dollars, after falling from 1.1 billion in 2022 to 360.5 million in 2024. The filing ties the rise to new product wins, market growth and a recovery from excess inventory in the sales channels, and says price changes had no material effect. Gross margin improved to 57% from 54% on product mix and lower amortization, but the company still lost 136.7 million dollars. [64, 65, 66, 67]

What comes next, in the company's own words: it expects revenue to keep fluctuating from period to period with the industry's cycle, and it expects research and development spending, cut to fit current projects, to increase in future years as it develops products to drive growth. It is developing new products on advanced processes such as 16 and 5 nanometer. [68, 69, 70]

What the desk infers (inferred, not filed)

• The products Intel supplies to MaxLinear finished, on a turnkey basis, most likely belong to the business MaxLinear bought from Intel in 2020, which makes Intel both the former owner of part of its product line and one of its largest manufacturing partners. Because: Its exhibits include an asset purchase agreement dated April 5, 2020 among MaxLinear, Intel and MaxLinear Asia Singapore. [71] Intel supplies certain products on a turnkey basis and is named among its four largest manufacturing partners. [37, 72] Director Daniel Artusi ran Intel's connected home division from 2015 to 2018, a business close to the gateways and home networking chips MaxLinear sells. [11, 22] Confidence 65 of 100. Wrong if: A filing that shows the turnkey products have nothing to do with the assets MaxLinear bought from Intel in 2020.
• Its three largest suppliers, which took 32%, 25% and 13% of 2025 inventory purchases, are most likely drawn from the four manufacturing partners it calls its largest: ASE, Intel, TSMC and UMC. Because: Three unnamed vendors took 32%, 25% and 13% of inventory purchases in 2025. [39] It names ASE, Intel, TSMC and UMC as four of its largest manufacturing partners. [72] TSMC and UMC are its key foundries, Intel supplies finished products, and ASE heads its list of assembly and test contractors. [37, 38] Confidence 70 of 100. Wrong if: A filing that names a company other than ASE, Intel, TSMC or UMC as one of its three largest suppliers.
• Its sales have shifted from distributors toward a few large direct buyers, most likely the Asian ODMs that build broadband and home networking equipment, whose volumes carried the 2025 recovery. Because: Distributors took 37% of revenue in 2025, against 50% in 2023. [27] Its ten largest customers took 65% of 2025 revenue, of which distributors accounted for less than 10%, so the two customers at 16% and 12% cannot be distributors; in 2024 distributors had made up 30% within the top ten. [32, 73, 29] Its revenue comes principally from Asian ODMs and contract manufacturers selling into Europe and North America. [35] Broadband and Connectivity grew 75.0% and 39.8% in 2025. [59] Confidence 60 of 100. Wrong if: A filing that names either of the two largest customers as a distributor, or shows the distributor share rising back toward half of revenue.
