Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release and its attachments include certain non-GAAP supplemental performance measures. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

SiTime believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to SiTime’s financial condition and results of operations. SiTime believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight into SiTime’s ongoing performance and core operational activities and has chosen to provide these measures for more consistent and meaningful comparison between periods. These measures should only be used to evaluate SiTime’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, and acquisition-related expenses which include transaction and certain other cash costs associated with business acquisition as well as changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration and earn out liabilities. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial results is provided in the financial statements portion of this release.

Acquisition Related Accounting Estimates

In December 2023, SiTime closed the acquisition of certain assets and an exclusive license to certain intellectual property, subject to certain covenants and restrictions, from Aura Semiconductor Pvt. Ltd. and certain of its affiliates relating to Aura's timing business and clock products. The purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of the intangible assets acquired based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisition. If additional information becomes available, the Company may revise its initial purchase price allocation within the 12 month measurement period and such revisions or changes may be material.

Inducement Plan Grants

SiTime granted restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) on May 7, 2024 that were approved by the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors under SiTime’s 2022 Inducement Award Plan, as a material inducement to employment of 14 newly hired non-executive individuals globally. The RSUs were approved in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The inducement grants consisted of an aggregate of 41,081 RSUs.
