Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this presentation references are made to certain financial information calculated on a basis other than in accordance with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are provided as additional insight into on-going financial performance andare provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Areconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided at the end of this presentation.

This presentation also contains market statistics and industry data that are subject to uncertainty and are not necessarily reflective of marketconditions. Although Semtech believes that these statistics and data are reasonable, they have been derived from third party sources and have notbeen independently verified by Semtech.

As noted in its fiscal year 2019 quarterly earnings releases, the Company will no longer adjust prior-period non-GAAP performance metrics of net salesand gross margin to exclude the cost of the Comcast Warrant as the Comcast Warrant fully vested in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Accordingly,the Company’s non-GAAP performance previously reported in prior fiscal periods for fiscal year 2018 and fiscal year 2019 will not be comparable tothe previous periods. The Company in previous periods had excluded the recognized cost of the Comcast Warrant from non-GAAP net sales and non-GAAP gross margins because the cost related to a non-routine, non-cash equity award that was provided to Comcast as an incentive to deploy anetwork based on technology developed by the Company and because the Comcast Warrant would not have had an ongoing impact on revenues infuture periods.
