Record royalty revenue up 37% yoy and 9% sequentially
Arm is benefitting from Armv9 adoption in smartphones and market share gains in automotive and cloud hyperscalers
Semiconductor industry grew strongly in the second half of Calendar 2023, with some weakness expected in industrial
and automotive markets; given our high share in many markets, Arm can be impacted by broad industry trends

Q4 FYE24: Chips reported as shipped
Chip shipments relate to the October to December
quarter
Down 10% year-over-year and 9% sequentially
mainly due to the impact of inventory correction in
industrial IoT
IoT chips are very high volume, but relatively low
value, so the decline has not had a material impact
on revenue

Non-GAAP Operating Expense ($m)1 ~$475m ~$2,050m
Non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share ($)1 $0.32 – $0.36 $1.45 – $1.65
(1) For more information and definitions of the non-GAAP measures see the “Key Financial and Operating Metrics” section of our most recent Shareholder Letter, available at https://investors.arm.com/. A reconciliation of
each of the projected non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not
provided because Arm is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items
we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.
