CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial and multimarket applications, today announced a preliminary total revenue range for the first quarter 2020.
MaxLinear’s revenue guidance provided on February 5, 2020 was in the range of $65 million to $70 million. The company now expects preliminary total revenue of approximately $61.75 million to $62.25 million in Q1 2020. The preliminary unaudited revenue range reflects the impact of several industrywide dynamics related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including supply constraints early in the quarter, and certain customer push-out requests. While we continue to assess the volatility in our sales order patterns, we want to stress the importance of the health and safety of our worldwide employees, as well as our customers and partners in this greatly challenging environment.

Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current, preliminary expectations and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Risks and uncertainties affecting our business and future operating results include, without limitation, intense competition in our industry; our dependence on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues; uncertainties concerning how end user markets for our products will develop, including in particular new markets we are entering but also existing markets such as cable; potential uncertainties arising from continued consolidation among cable television and satellite operators in our target markets and continued consolidation among competitors within the semiconductor industry generally; our ability to develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis and achieve market acceptance of those products, particularly as we seek to expand outside of our historic markets; potential decreases in average selling prices for our products; risks relating to intellectual property protection and the prevalence of intellectual property litigation in our industry; adverse conditions in the general domestic and global economic markets related to COVID-19; and our lack of long-term supply contracts and dependence on limited sources of supply.
In addition to these risks and uncertainties, investors should review the risks and uncertainties contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on February 5, 2020 as well as the other risks set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
