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

    (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.
