SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 2

Liquid Cooling

To reduce the high cost of operating and address constraints on power and cooling in data centers, IT managers increasingly turn to suppliers that offer high-performance, cost-effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly products. Our resource saving architecture supports our leadership in green IT innovation. We offer product lines that are designed to share common computing resources, thereby saving both valuable space and power as compared to general-purpose rackmount servers. In addition, due to the advanced power requirements of these systems, we provide end-to-end liquid cooling solutions across our designs to optimize the elevated power and thermal management requirements. We believe our approach of leveraging an overall architecture that balances data center power requirements, cooling, shared resources and refresh cycles helps reduce environmental impact while providing TCO savings for our customers.

Liquid cooling necessitates the need for rack-scale integration of the power and cooling infrastructure. We design, build, test, validate, and deliver complete rack scale solutions for liquid-cooled direct-to-chip cold plate solutions for CPUs, GPUs, and memory. In addition, we manufacture the sophisticated management systems -- Cooling Distribution Units, Cooling Distribution Manifolds -- to regulate system temperatures for maximum performance. Liquid cooling can be easily included in rack-level integrations to further increase system efficiency, reduce instances of thermal throttling, and lower both the TCO and Total Cost to Environment of data center deployments.

Driving Software and Services Sales to our Global Enterprise Customers

We work closely with customers by offering total data center life-cycle management software. This enables data center operators to closely monitor their entire IT infrastructure, identify potential issues, and address them before they lead to failures.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 4

Research and Development

We perform most of our research and development activities in-house in the United States at our facilities in San Jose, California, and in Taiwan. This approach enhances communication and collaboration between our design teams, streamlining the development process and reducing time-to-market. We believe that the combination of our focus on internal research and development activities, our close working relationships with local customers and vendors and our modular design approach allows us to decrease time-to-market, improve quality and deliver superior product designs. Additionally, we continue to invest in reducing our design and manufacturing costs while improving the performance, cost-effectiveness and power- and space-efficiency of our Total IT Solutions.

Our research and development teams focus on the development of new and enhanced products that can support emerging technological and engineering innovations while achieving high overall system performance. Much of our research and development activity relates to the new product cycles of leading processor vendors. We work closely with NVIDIA, Intel and AMD, among others, to develop products that are compatible with the latest generation of industry-standard technologies under development. Our collaborative approach with these vendors allows us to align the design of our new products with their product release schedules, thereby enhancing our ability to rapidly introduce new products incorporating the latest technology. We work closely with their respective development teams to enhance system performance and reduce system-level issues. Similarly, we work very closely with our customers to understand their needs and develop our new product plans accordingly.

During each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we sold to over 1,000 customers in over 100 countries. In addition, over the three years ended June 30, 2025, we have sold to thousands of end users through our indirect sales channel. These customers represent a diverse set of market verticals including enterprise data centers, cloud computing, AI, 5G and edge computing markets. Four customers each accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in fiscal year 2025 and one single customer accounted for 10% or more of net sales in fiscal year 2024. No customer accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in fiscal year 2023.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing activities are conducted through a combination of our direct sales force and our indirect sales channel partners. Our direct sales force is primarily focused on selling Total IT Solutions, including management software and global services, to large scale cloud, enterprise and OEM customers. In addition, we operate a centralized command center, designed to assist customers with quick and accurate configurations.

We work with distributors, value-added resellers, system integrators, and OEMs to market and sell our optimized solutions to their end customers. We provide sales and marketing assistance and training to our indirect sales channel partners and OEMs. We leverage our relationships in our indirect sales channel and with OEMs to penetrate select industry vertical market segments where our products can provide better alternatives to existing solutions.

We maintain close contact with our indirect sales channel partners and end customers. We often collaborate during the sales process with our indirect sales channel partners and the end customer’s technical staff to determine the optimal system configuration for the customer’s needs. Our interaction with our indirect sales channel partners and end customers allows us to monitor customer requirements and develop new products to meet their needs.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 5

Marketing

Our marketing programs are designed to create global awareness and brand-recognition for our company and products, as well as an understanding of the significant value we bring to customers. These programs also inform existing and potential customers, the trade press, market analysts, indirect sales channel partners, and OEMs about the strong capabilities and benefits of using our products and solutions. Our marketing efforts support the sale and distribution of our products through both direct sales and indirect channels. We utilize a variety of marketing vehicles, including advertising, public relations, web, social media, collateral, and participation in industry events and tradeshows, to build market awareness and generate new customer demand. We provide cooperative marketing funds to our indirect sales channel partners to extend the reach of our marketing efforts. We also leverage our suppliers’ cooperative marketing programs to jointly benefit from their marketing development funds.

Intellectual Property

We seek to protect our intellectual property rights with a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, and disclosure restrictions. We rely primarily on trade secrets, technical know-how, and other unpatented proprietary information relating to our design and product development activities. We also enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with our employees, consultants, and other third parties and control access to our designs, documentation, and other proprietary information.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

We manufacture the majority of our systems at our San Jose, California headquarters. We believe we are the only major server, storage, and accelerated compute platform vendor that designs, develops, and manufactures a significant portion of their systems in the United States. Global assembly, test and quality control of our servers are performed at our manufacturing facilities in San Jose, California, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Malaysia. In each of our existing facilities, a Quality and Environmental Management System has been certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and/or ISO 13485 standards. Our suppliers and contract manufacturers are required to adhere to the same standards to maintain consistent product and service quality and continuous improvement of quality and environmental performance.

We use several third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for materials and sub-assemblies. We believe that selectively using outsourced manufacturing services allows us to focus on our core competencies in product design and development, and increases our operational flexibility. We believe our manufacturing strategy allows us to adjust manufacturing capacity in response to changes in customer demand and to rapidly introduce new products to the market. We use Ablecom Technology, Inc. (“Ablecom”) and its affiliate Compuware Technology, Inc. (“Compuware”), both of which are related parties, for contract design and manufacturing coordination support. We work with Ablecom to optimize modular designs for our chassis and several other components. Ablecom also coordinates the manufacturing of chassis for us. In addition to providing a large volume of contract manufacturing services to us, Ablecom warehouses multiple components and subassemblies manufactured by various suppliers before shipping them to our facilities in the United States, Europe, and Asia. We also have a series of agreements with Compuware, including multiple product development, production and service agreements, as well as product manufacturing agreements and lease agreements for office space. See Note 10, “Related Party Transactions” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and Part III, Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.”

We continuously monitor our inventory to meet customer delivery requirements and minimize the risk of inventory obsolescence. Due to our building-block designs, our inventory can generally be used with multiple products, lowering working capital requirements and reducing the risk of inventory write-downs.

Competition

The market for our products is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to new technological developments, changing customer needs and new product introductions. We compete primarily with large vendors of x86-based general purpose servers and components. In addition, we also face competition from smaller vendors that specialize in the sale of server components and systems. In recent years, we have experienced increased competition from original design manufacturers (“ODMs”) that benefit from their scale and very low-cost manufacturing and are increasingly offering their own branded products. We believe our principal competitors include:

• global technology vendors, such as Cisco, Dell, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, and Lenovo; and

• ODMs, such as Foxconn, Quanta Computer, and Wiwynn Corporation.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 6

The principal competitive factors in our market include the following:

• rack Scale Total IT Solutions to reduce TCO for our customers;

• first to market with new emerging technologies, offered at a competitive price;

• broad product portfolio providing customers more options to optimize for their workload and environment;

• high product performance, efficiency and reliability;

• early identification of emerging opportunities;

• cost-effective design and manufacturing;

• sufficient manufacturing capacity necessary to support market demand;

• energy efficient (Green Computing) product designs that reduce environmental impact, overall power consumption, and costs; and

• localized and responsive customer support on a worldwide basis.

We believe that we compete favorably with respect to most of these factors. However, most of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources, greater name recognition, or deeper market penetration. They may be able to allocate more resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products, which could allow them to respond more quickly to new technologies and changes in customer needs. In addition, it is possible that new competitors could emerge and gain significant market share.

Government Regulation

Our worldwide business activities subject us to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws in the countries in which we operate, and our Total IT Solutions are subject to laws and regulations affecting their sale. To date, costs and expenses incurred to comply with these governmental regulations, including environmental and import and export controls regulations, have not been material to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and competitive position. Although there is no assurance that existing or future governmental laws and regulations, including environmental and import and export controls regulations, applicable to our operations or Total IT Solutions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and competitive position, we do not currently anticipate material increases in expenditures for compliance with government regulations.

We are subject to U.S. and other applicable trade control regulations that restrict with whom we may transact business, including the trade sanctions enforced by the U.S. Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control and the import and export controls enforced by the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security. If we fail to comply with laws and regulations restricting dealings with sanctioned countries, companies and/or persons subject to restricted party lists or parties engaged in restricted end uses, we may be subject to enforcement actions, including civil or criminal penalties. The United States and other countries continually update their lists of export-controlled items and technologies and may impose new or more-restrictive export requirements on our products in the future. As a result of regulatory changes, we may be required to obtain licenses or other authorizations to continue supporting existing customers or to supply existing products to new customers in China, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere. Further escalations in trade restrictions or hostilities, particularly between the United States and China, could impede our ability to sell or support our products. Our joint venture in China may become subject to additional trade restrictions, and those trade restrictions could harm our reputation in the market.

In October 2022, U.S. export restrictions and export licensing requirements were imposed targeting China’s semiconductor and supercomputing industries. These restrictions impact exports of software, hardware, equipment, and technology used to develop, produce or manufacture certain chips in China (including Hong Kong). At the same time, export restrictions and export license requirements were also imposed on certain GPUs and advanced integrated circuits, as well as computing equipment containing such components, with a focus on China (including Hong Kong). These restrictions impacted certain of our products, including products that contain the NVIDIA A100 and H100 integrated circuits, among others.

In November 2023, the export control restrictions on advanced integrated circuits, supercomputing and other end uses were revised and further expanded to cover additional countries where we sell our products, such as those in the Middle East, as well as additional parties based on the location of their headquarters, or the headquarters of their ultimate parent. Compliance with ever-changing regulations is complex and time consuming. We may experience delays in implementing procedures to address the evolving regulatory requirements.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 7

In January 2025, the U.S. export control regulations targeting advanced integrated circuits and computing were further revised to include a worldwide authorization requirement for certain of our advanced computing products. New license exceptions were added to the regulations, allowing us to export in some cases without the need for an export license, thus expanding upon previous authorizations. However, these new regulations will, depending on the country and ultimate consignee, impose new limits on the number of advanced computing products that we can export to each ultimate consignee per calendar year, as well as the number of advanced computing products that the Commerce Department will license per-country over a given period to all exporters in the aggregate. These new limitations create a competitive process for obtaining the product allocation associated with these new government authorizations and therefore could disadvantage us relative to certain of our competitors. The limitations may also prevent us from selling our advanced computing products to the full extent of customer demand in certain countries that have not historically been subject to such limitations.

In May 2025, the U.S. Commerce Department announced that it is in the process of rescinding certain export control rules for advanced integrated circuits and computing systems and has ceased enforcement of certain aspects of the regulations previously issued in January 2025. The Commerce Department has indicated that it will issue new replacement export control regulations in the future, but the scope and timing of those regulatory changes remain uncertain. Such regulatory changes could impact our new and existing business, and place new regulatory requirements on our suppliers, customers and/or end users, or on the data centers into which our products are deployed.

The process to obtain licenses required under the recently adopted export control regulations is complicated and time-consuming in the event we determine to pursue them, and there is no guarantee that they will be granted. Our competitive position and future results may be harmed, over the long-term, if there are further changes in import and export controls, including further expansion of the geographic, customer, end use, deemed export, or product scope of the controls, if customers purchase product from competitors, if customers develop their own internal solution, if we are unable to provide contractual warranty or other extended service obligations, if licenses are not granted in a timely manner or denied to significant customers or if we incur significant transition costs. Even if requested licenses are granted, they may be temporary or impose burdensome conditions that we or our customers or end users cannot or choose not to fulfill. The licensing requirements may benefit certain of our competitors, as the licensing process could make our technical support efforts more cumbersome and less certain, encouraging customers to pursue alternatives to our products.

Human Capital Resources and Management

Mission, Culture, and Engagement

The key to success in technology is designing a company around people committed to work that they love. We aim to attract, develop, and retain a high performing and engaged global workforce.

As of June 30, 2025, we employed 6,238 employees, consisting of 3,255 employees engaged in research and development, 705 engaged in sales and marketing, 545 engaged in general and administrative and 1,733 engaged in manufacturing. Of these employees, 2,948 employees are based in our San Jose, California facilities. We consider our highly qualified and motivated employees to be a key factor in our business success. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining organization, and we have never experienced a work stoppage.

We are committed to protecting the environment through our “We Keep IT Green” initiative as a first to market innovator in high-performance, high-efficiency server, storage, networking, and management total solutions. We recognize the critical importance of talent and culture to our success and ability to fulfill this vision.

We encourage opportunities for growth and conduct regular performance reviews that set clear expectations to motivate employees and align their performance with our objectives. We communicate to our employees through a secure intranet site, executive communications, company meetings, and business-related emails.

We also believe that a workplace that encourages different voices, perspectives, and backgrounds fosters stronger teams, better solutions, and greater innovation. Employees should be treated fairly and respectfully regardless of their differences and feel welcomed to share their unique perspective, which we believe empowers valued contributors.

Talent Development, Acquisition, Retention and Rewards

Talent Strategy

Our talent strategy focuses on attracting skilled, engaged employees who bring the talent and skills critical to our innovative and forward-looking workforce. Our recruiting process actively sources talent supporting our ability to hire candidates with professional qualifications and potential. We identify opportunities through tracking and analyzing data from various sources such as annual performance reviews to assess our progress in ensuring critical talent fills critical roles.

It is our policy to ensure equal employment opportunity for all applicants and employees without regard to prohibited considerations of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, or any other classification protected by applicable local, state or federal laws. All employees receive training on the prevention of sexual harassment and abusive conduct in the workplace.

Total Rewards Program

Our total rewards program is designed to attract and reward talented individuals who possess the skills necessary to support our business objectives, assist in the achievement of our strategic goals and create long-term value for our stockholders. We provide employees with compensation packages that include base salary in the form of cash and representing fixed compensation to reward individual performance and contributions (“Base Salary”), incentive bonus programs, and long-term equity awards, such as restricted stock units and options, which are tied to the value of our stock price. We believe that a compensation program with both short-term and long-term awards provides fair and competitive compensation, aligns employee and stockholder interests, incentivizes business and individual performance (pay for performance), motivates based on long-term company performance, and integrates compensation with our business plans. In addition to cash and equity compensation, we provide U.S. employees with a range of benefits, including life and health insurance (medical, dental, and vision), paid time off, sick leave, holiday pay, and a 401(k) plan. For employees outside of the U.S., we offer benefits based on local requirements.

Health, Safety & Wellness

Throughout our history, we have remained committed to providing a safe workplace that protects against personal injury and minimizes environmental harm. We adhere to international standards and regulations to ensure product safety and security. Our health and safety programs emphasize personal accountability, professional conduct, and regulatory compliance, while fostering a culture of proactivity, caution, and open communication. In developing our products, we define and conduct various tests to ensure their safety and security. We evaluate risks using both government-mandated procedures and industry best practices to understand residual risk and appropriately safeguard our employees. Our proactive efforts to prevent occupational illnesses and injuries enable us to maintain a safe, healthy, and secure workplace. Additionally, we have a Safety Committee, dedicated to promoting communication about health, safety, and emergency response procedures, as well as facilitating continuous improvements to our work environment and practices.

We are committed to complying with all applicable laws related to labor and employment across every aspect of our operations. Beyond legal requirements, we adhere to global standards regarding the fair and ethical treatment of workers, such as those set by the Responsible Business Alliance, regarding the fair and ethical treatment of workers. These include preventing excessive working hours and unfair wages, implementing controls to prohibit child labor and human trafficking, and bolstering workplace health and safety measures.

Board Oversight of Human Capital Management

Our Board of Directors, as part of its overall responsibility to provide oversight, has purview over matters related to human capital management. Our Compensation Committee oversees various aspects of human capital management, such as incentive and equity compensation plans, the administration of these plans, compensation matters outside the ordinary course of business, and compensation policies.

Corporate Information

We were founded and maintain our worldwide headquarters in San Jose, California, where approximately half of our employees are based. As one of the largest employers in the City of San Jose, we are proud to be an active member of the San Jose and Silicon Valley communities.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 9

We were incorporated in California in September 1993 and subsequently reincorporated in Delaware in March 2007. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SMCI”. Our principal executive offices are located at 980 Rock Avenue, San Jose, California 95131. Our telephone number is (408) 503-8000, and our website address is www.supermicro.com.

Financial Information about Segments and Geographic Areas

Please see Note 15, “Segment Reporting” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report for information regarding segment reporting, and Note 4, “Revenue” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report for information regarding our net sales by geographic region. See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” for further information on risks associated with our international operations.

Working Capital

We place significant emphasis on managing our inventories and other working capital related items. We manage inventories through active communication with our customers and partners, using our industry experience to accurately forecast demand. Based on these forecasts, we place manufacturing orders for our products. We maintain substantial inventories of our products because the computer server industry is characterized by short lead-time orders and quick delivery schedules. Additionally, during fiscal year 2025, the computer server industry experienced global supply chain shortages, which resulted in a need to carry more inventory to fulfill demand from our customers and partners.

Forward Stock Split

On September 30, 2024, we filed an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a ten-for-one forward split (the “Stock Split”) of our common stock without any change to its par value. The Amendment also effected a proportionate increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. Pursuant to Section 242(d) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, stockholder approval was not required in connection with the foregoing.

The Stock Split became effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30, 2024. Trading in the common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market commenced on a Stock Split-adjusted basis at the market open on October 1, 2024, under the existing trading symbol “SMCI.”

As a result of the Stock Split, every one (1) share of common stock issued and outstanding was automatically divided into ten (10) shares of common stock. The Stock Split did not modify any rights or preferences of the shares of the common stock. Proportionate adjustments were automatically made to the number of shares of common stock underlying our outstanding equity awards, equity incentive plans, and other existing agreements, as well as exercise or conversion prices, as applicable.

Unless noted, all references to shares of common stock and per share amounts contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Split.

Our business involves significant risks, some of which are described below. Other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial also may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, other key metrics and the trading price of our common stock. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all the other information in this Annual Report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, revenue, and future prospects could be seriously harmed. In addition, you should consider the interrelationship and compounding effects of two or more risks occurring simultaneously. Unless otherwise indicated, references to our business being harmed in these risk factors will include harm to our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, revenue, and future prospects. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. You should not interpret our disclosure of any of the following risks to imply that such risks have not already materialized.

Risk Factor Summary

The following summarizes the principal factors that make an investment in the Company speculative or risky. This summary should be read in conjunction with the remainder of this “Risk Factors” section and should not be relied upon as an exhaustive summary of the material risks facing our business. The occurrence of any of these risks could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or growth prospects or cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements we have made in this report and those we may make from time to time. You should consider all of the risk factors described in our public filings when evaluating our business.

Risks Related to Previously being Delinquent in SEC Reporting Obligations

• We face risks related to previously being delinquent in our SEC reporting obligations;

• We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to the circumstances discussed in Item 9. “Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure” section in this Annual Report, the remediation of deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures discussed in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of this Annual Report, and any resulting litigation;

• Matters relating to or arising from the circumstances discussed in Item 9. “Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure” section in this Annual Report, including adverse publicity and potential concerns from our customers, have had and could continue to have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition;

• We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which could, if not remediated, adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner.

Risks Related to our Global Operating Business and Industry

• Our operating results have in the past fluctuated and will likely fluctuate in the future, and if our operating results are below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price could decline;

• If we fail to meet any publicly announced financial guidance or other expectations about our business, it could cause our stock to decline in value;

• Failure to meet the evolving needs of our industry and markets may adversely impact our financial results;

• Our sales are concentrated in a few large customers. If we lose or experience a significant reduction in sales to any of these key customers, if any of these key customers experience a significant decline in market share, or if any of these customers experience significant financial difficulties, our revenue may decrease substantially and our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed;

• We may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, which in turn could impair the rate of our growth;

• Our cost structure, ability to deliver server solutions to customers, and ability to resolve warranty claims in a timely manner may be adversely affected by volatility of the market for core components and certain materials for our products;

• We face risks related to recessions, inflation, stagflation, and other macroeconomic conditions;

• Changes in U.S. or foreign policies, geopolitical conditions, general economic conditions, and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results;

• Any failure, disruption or security breach or incident of or impacting our information technology infrastructure or information management systems could have an adverse impact on our business and operations;

• We may be unable to attract, retain, and motivate our executives and key employees;

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 11

• Conflicts of interest may arise with Ablecom and Compuware, and they may adversely affect our operations;

• Our reliance on Ablecom and Compuware could be subject to risks associated with our reliance on a limited source of contract manufacturing services and inventory warehousing;

• If we lose Charles Liang, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, or any other key employee or are unable to attract additional key employees, we may not be able to implement our business strategy in a timely manner;

• We are subject to order and shipment uncertainties. If we are unable to accurately predict customer demand, we may hold excess or obsolete inventory, which would reduce our gross margin. Conversely, we may have insufficient inventory or be unable to obtain the supplies or contract manufacturing capacity to meet demand, which would result in lost revenue opportunities and potential loss of market share as well as damaged customer;

• If negative publicity arises with respect to us, our employees, our third-party service providers or our partners, our business and operating results could be adversely affected, regardless of whether the negative publicity is true;

• We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain components used to manufacture our products;

• Changing technology and intense competition require us to continuously innovate while controlling product costs, and our failure to do so may result in decreased revenues and profitability;

• The AI industry has driven a portion of our recent success. The AI industry involves significant risks and uncertainties, and the use of AI by our workforce may present risks to our business;

• Our results of operations may be subject to fluctuations based upon certain investments we make;

• Our growth into markets outside the United States exposes us to risks inherent in international business operations.

Risks Related to Regulatory, Legal, Our Stock, and Other Matters

• We have been, are currently, and may in the future be subject to various lawsuits and other legal proceedings, disputes, claims, and government inquiries and investigations, which could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a way that could seriously harm our business, and any orders, actions or rulings not in our favor could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition;

• Our operations are impacted by complex laws, rules and regulations related to export control to which our business is subject, and rapid changes in such laws, rules, and regulations as well as political and other actions related thereto may adversely impact our busi

Risk Management and Strategy

We have in place certain infrastructure, systems, policies, and procedures that are designed to proactively and reactively address risks from cybersecurity threats. This includes processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our information security management program seeks to follow processes set forth in recognized industry standards, and we evaluate and evolve our security measures as appropriate. We maintain a cybersecurity incident response plan that we practice and update as needed. The identification, assessment and management of cybersecurity risk is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program that is ultimately overseen by the Board.

We consult with external parties, such as third-party cybersecurity firms, to provide, among other things, monitoring of systems, threat intelligence, and employee cybersecurity training. We also use third parties to assist our risk management processes by conducting security assessments.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 34

We also have a vendor risk assessment process to oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers. These processes consist of the distribution and review of questionnaires designed to identify cybersecurity risks associated with the engagement of third parties. We also audit cybersecurity practices of certain third-party service providers, and take steps designed to ensure that such vendors have implemented data privacy and security controls that help mitigate the cybersecurity risks associated with these vendors, depending on the nature and sensitivity of the supplier and data it processes on our behalf. We routinely assess our high-risk suppliers’ conformance to industry standards and evaluate them for additional information, product, and physical security requirements.

We employ a number of protective measures, including firewalls, endpoint detection and response technologies, regular annual training of employees with respect to cybersecurity and testing employee competence with anti-phishing policies followed up by additional remedial training as needed.

While there have been cyber incidents in the past, none of these incidents, individually or in aggregate, had a material adverse effect on our business strategy, operations, or financial conditions. Refer to “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K for additional information about cybersecurity-related risks.

Governance

As part of its broader risk oversight activities, our Board maintains oversight of cybersecurity matters, including managing and assessing risks from cybersecurity threats. The Audit Committee also reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of our information security policies and practices and the internal controls regarding information security risks. The Audit Committee and the Board receive regular information security updates relating to cybersecurity risk from management, including from our Director of Information Security.

Cybersecurity risk is primarily managed by our Directors of Information Security and Information Technology. These individuals have decades of experience in managing cybersecurity risk for public companies. Additionally, we have established a cross-functional Cybersecurity Committee, consisting of executive-level leadership, including representatives from Finance, IT, Legal, and other teams, that meets periodically to review cybersecurity risks, incidents, and assess emerging threats. The Cybersecurity Committee is also informed of our responses to such risks, incidents and threats.

Our cybersecurity incident response plan also contains mechanisms to notify executive management of cybersecurity incidents. As part of the plan, an executive-level leadership team may be activated and can act to direct our response efforts, to include mitigation and remediation activities, when appropriate.

As of June 30, 2025, we owned approximately 3,157,000 square feet and leased approximately 1,539,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space, which does not include any leases executed but not commenced. Our long-lived assets, excluding leases, located outside of the United States represented 37.8% of total value of long-lived assets in fiscal year 2025. In addition, we lease various offices, warehouses and other premises in United States and throughout the world. See Note 15, “Segment Reporting” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report for a summary of long-lived assets by geographic region.

Our principal executive offices, research and development center, and production operations are in San Jose, California where we own approximately 1,601,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space. We lease approximately 459,479 square feet of warehouse space in San Jose, California under a lease that expires in October 2030, lease approximately 246,000 square feet of warehouse space in Fremont, California under a lease that expires in October 2030, lease approximately 46,000 square feet of office space in San Jose, California under a lease that expires in January 2028, lease approximately 28,000 square feet of warehouse space in Milpitas, California under a lease that expires in March 2027, lease approximately 5,000 square feet of office space in Jersey City, New Jersey under a lease that expires in May 2027, lease approximately 63,000 square feet of office space in Milpitas, California under a lease that expires in August 2035, and lease approximately 72,000 square feet of data center space in Vernon, California under a lease that expires in October 2035. Additionally, we own 36 acres of land in San Jose, California that would allow us to expand our Green Computing Park.

Our European headquarters for manufacturing and service operations is located in Den Bosch, the Netherlands where we own approximately 12,000 square feet of office space and lease approximately 350,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space under six leases, which expire at various dates ranging from June 2026 to June 2035.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 35

In Asia, our manufacturing facilities are located in Taoyuan County, Taiwan where we own approximately 954,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space across 6.77 acres of land, and in Malaysia where we own approximately 590,000 square feet of dormitory, office, and manufacturing space on 30 acres of land. These manufacturing facilities are pledged as security under the existing loans with $28.8 million remaining outstanding as of June 30, 2025. Our research and development center, service operations, and warehouse space in Asia are in an approximately 153,000 square feet facility in Taipei and Hsinchu, Taiwan under nineteen leases that expire at various dates ranging from January 2026 through March 2029 and approximately 93,000 square feet facilities in Taoyuan, Taiwan under three leases that expire at various dates ranging from June 2026 through December 2028.

We believe that our existing facilities in San Jose, California, Taiwan, and the Netherlands, in addition to our new facility in Malaysia, are suitable and adequate for our present purposes, and that the productive capacity of such facilities is substantially being utilized or we have plans to utilize such capacity.

The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to the information set forth in Note 13. “Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Due to the inherent uncertainties of legal proceedings, we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings at this time, and we can give no assurance that they will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Not applicable.

Forward Stock Split

On September 30, 2024, we filed the Amendment to effect the Stock Split of our common stock. The Amendment also effected a proportionate increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which appear elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Overview

We are a global leader in Application-Optimized Total IT Solutions. Founded and operating in San Jose, California, we are committed to delivering first-to-market innovation for Enterprise, Cloud, AI, and 5G Telco/Edge IT Infrastructure. As a Total IT Solutions manufacturer, our offerings include server, AI systems, storage, IoT devices, switches, software, and support services. Supermicro's expertise in motherboard, power, and chassis design expertise drives our ability to develop and produce next-generation innovations, from cloud to edge, for our global customers. Our products are designed and manufactured in-house across facilities in the United States, Taiwan, and the Netherlands. Leveraging our global operations for scale and efficiency, we optimize solutions to improve TCO while reducing environmental impact through Green Computing initiatives. Our award-winning portfolio of Server Building Block Solutions empowers customers to tailor systems precisely to their exact workloads and applications. By selecting from a broad family of flexible and reusable building blocks, customers can configure a comprehensive range of form factors, processors, memory, GPUs, storage, networking, power, and cooling solutions, including air-conditioned, free air, and liquid cooling solutions.

We commenced operations in 1993 and have been profitable every year since inception. For fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023, our net income was $1,048.9 million, $1,152.7 million, and $640.0 million, respectively.

In order to increase our sales and profits, we believe that we must continue to develop flexible application optimized server and storage solutions while being among the first to market with new features and products. Our focus is on delivering Total IT Solutions that integrate, validate, and deliver server, storage, networking and software at the rack and cluster (multi-rack) level. Additionally, we will continue to expand our software offerings and enhance customer service and support, particularly as we increase our focus on large enterprise and data center customers. A key component of our strategy is our DCBBS, which significantly reduces data center build time and enables full integration of AI computing, server, storage, networking, rack, cabling, liquid cooling, end-to-end management software, onsite deployment services, and ongoing maintenance. To further expand our market share, we also recognize the need to strengthen our network of sales partners and distribution channels.

We measure our financial success based on various key indicators, including growth in net sales, gross profit margin, operating margin, and net income per common share. In additional to these financial metrics, a critical non-financial indicator of our success is our ability to rapidly introduce new products and deliver the latest application-optimized server and storage solutions. To support this, we work closely with the developers and manufacturers of key components, allowing us to integrate emerging technologies as they become available. Our ability to quickly bring new products to market, which we believe is enabled by our Building Block Solution architecture and has historically enabled us to capitalize on major technology transitions such as the launch of new GPUs, microprocessors and storage technologies. Accordingly, we closely monitor the product introduction cycles of industry leaders, including NVIDIA Corporation, Intel Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Broadcom Inc., Samsung Electronics Company Limited, Micron Technology, Inc. and others. This strategic focus directly informs our research and development investments, as we continue to allocate resources toward both our current initiatives and future product innovation.

AI and Data Centers

The growing use of AI, which requires enhanced datacenter capabilities, has substantially increased demand for our products. We expect this trend to continue, with further demand for datacenter expansion driven by the AI market. As a result, we will continue to enhance our product capabilities and expand our service offerings, including DCBBS to address the growing demand in the AI market and datacenter markets. We believe that our ability to tailor certain products to the unique needs of these sectors sets us apart from many competitors and positions us to capture an even greater market share going forward.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 41

Macroeconomic Factors

Macroeconomic factors, including inflation, interest rate changes, capital market volatility, global supply chain constraints, tariffs, and global economic and geopolitical developments, have had and may continue to have direct and indirect impacts on our business and results of operations, particularly demand for our products and net sales. While difficult to isolate and quantify, these macroeconomic factors have also impacted and may continue to impact our supply chain and manufacturing costs, employee wages, costs for capital equipment and value of our investments. Further, while many of these macroeconomic factors could have a long term impact, others may have a short term impact which could lead to our financial results not being comparable on a period to period basis.

Financial Highlights

The following is a summary of our financial highlights for fiscal years 2025 and 2024:

• Net sales increased by 46.6% in fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024. driven by an increase in demand from customers for GPU servers, HPC and rack-scale solutions which have higher average selling prices, primarily due to large enterprise and data center customers from the United States, Asia, and Europe where we experienced significant growth.

• Gross margin decreased to 11.1% in fiscal year 2025 from 13.8% in fiscal year 2024, primarily due to our strategy to offer competitive pricing to gain market share, change in product and customer mix, and higher manufacturing related expenses.

• Operating expenses increased by 38.4% in fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024, primarily due to higher headcount and increases in salary and stock-based compensation.

• Net income decreased to $1,048.9 million in fiscal year 2025 as compared to $1,152.7 million in fiscal year 2024, which was primarily due to decrease in gross profit and increase in operating and other expenses partially, offset by the increase in net sales in fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024.

Investment and Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our fixed-rate investment portfolio and outstanding debt. The investment portfolio is managed consistent with our overall liquidity strategy in support of both working capital needs and growth of our businesses.

The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income without significantly increasing the risk. Some of the securities we invest in are subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in money market funds and certificates of deposit. Our investment in an auction rate security has been classified as non-current due to the lack of a liquid market for these securities. Since our results of operations are not dependent on investments, the risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio, and we believe that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on our results of operations. As of June 30, 2025, our investments were in money market funds, certificates of deposits and auction rate securities.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our borrowings under our term loan and revolving lines of credit. The interest rates for the term loans and the revolving lines of credit ranged from 1.3% to 5.8% at June 30, 2025. Based on the outstanding principal indebtedness of $112.5 million under our credit facilities as of June 30, 2025, we believe that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the results of operations.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We consider our direct exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations to be minimal as substantially all of our sales and purchases are in United States dollars. To date, our international customer and supplier agreements have been denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and accordingly, we have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from customer agreements. The functional currency of our subsidiaries in the Netherlands, Taiwan and Malaysia is the U.S. dollar. However, certain loans and transactions in these entities are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, and thus we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations associated with re-measurement to U.S. dollars. Such fluctuations have not been significant historically, and a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not have a significant impact on the results of operations. Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement are included in other income or expenses.

San Jose, California

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited the adjustments to the 2023 consolidated financial statements to retrospectively apply the stock split, as discussed in Note 1. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2023 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2023 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated August 28, 2025 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 56

Valuation of Inventories

As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated inventories balance, which is stated at lower of cost, using weighted average cost method, or net realizable value, was $4.68 billion as June 30, 2025. The Company evaluates inventories for excess and obsolescence and lower of cost or net realizable value and, as necessary, writes down the valuation of inventories based upon the Company’s inventory aging, forecasted usage and sales, anticipated selling price, product obsolescence and other factors.

We identified the valuation of inventories as a critical audit matter. Auditing the valuation of inventories, which includes write-down percentages for excess and obsolescence applied to the different inventory aging categories, involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgments due to the nature and extent of effort required to address this matter.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

• Inquiring of various personnel in the Company including but not limited to finance and operations personnel about the expected product lifecycles and product development plans to understand and evaluate the Company’s methodology for determining inventory that is excess or obsolete and the key assumptions and judgments made as part of the process, including the write-down percentages used to write down the valuation of inventories.

• Assessing management’s estimate of write-down percentages by recalculating inventory turns and historical write-down percentages across multiple fiscal periods and comparing it with the write-down percentages used by management to evaluate management’s ability to accurately estimate excess and obsolete inventories.

• Testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data utilized in management’s excess and obsolescence analysis, including the classification of inventory by aging category.

• Assessing the existence of contradictory evidence based on reading the Company’s press releases and industry reports, as well as our observations and inquiries as to changes within the business.

Ernst and Young LLP (“EY”) was engaged on March 15, 2023 to perform an audit for the Company’s fiscal year 2024, and did not issue any report on the Company’s financial statements or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. EY resigned while conducting the audit for the Company’s fiscal year 2024, EY’s first audit on the Company’s behalf.

In late July 2024, EY communicated to the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) concerns about certain matters related to governance, transparency, and our internal control over financial reporting. In response, the Board appointed a new director to the Board and formed an independent special committee (the “Special Committee”) to review these matters (the “Review”). The Special Committee engaged independent outside counsel Cooley LLP and forensic accounting firm Secretariat Advisors, LLC to aid in an investigation on behalf of and at the direction of the Special Committee.

The Special Committee’s investigation was intended to assess whether the information brought to the Audit Committee’s attention by EY, and certain other matters identified during the Review, raised substantial concerns about (i) the integrity of our senior management and Audit Committee, (ii) the commitment of our senior management and Audit Committee to ensuring that the Company’s financial statements are materially accurate, (iii) the Audit Committee’s independence and ability to provide proper oversight over matters relating to financial reporting, and (iv) the tone at the top of the Company with regard to rehiring certain former employees and financial reporting.

On October 2, 2024, the Special Committee reported its interim findings to EY and the Board.

After receiving additional information through the Review process, EY informed the Special Committee that the additional information EY received raised questions, including about whether the Company demonstrated a commitment to integrity and ethical values consistent with Principle 1 of the COSO Framework, about the ability and willingness of the Audit Committee and overall Board to demonstrate and act as an oversight body that is independent of the CEO and other members of management in accordance with Principle 2 of the COSO Framework, and whether EY could rely on representations from certain members of management and from the Audit Committee. EY subsequently resigned as the Company’s independent public accounting firm, by letter dated October 24, 2024. In that letter, EY stated, in part: “we are resigning due to information that has recently come to our attention which has led us to no longer be able to rely on management's and the Audit Committee’s representations and to be unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management, and after concluding we can no longer provide the Audit Services in accordance with applicable law or professional obligations.”

As described in the Form 8-K we filed on October 30, 2024 (“October 2024 8-K”), other than what’s described in the October 2024 8-K, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period preceding EY’s resignation, (1) there were no “disagreements,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction to our knowledge would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with that report, and (2) there were no “reportable events” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The points raised by EY as set forth in this Item 9 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.

We disagreed with EY’s decision to resign as our independent registered public accounting firm for a number of reasons, including that a significant number of audit procedures were incomplete and the Special Committee had not yet obtained all information relevant for the Review and had not concluded the Review.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 118

On December 2, 2024, we announced that the Special Committee completed its Review. Among the findings by the Special Committee were:

• The evidence reviewed by the Special Committee did not give rise to any substantial concerns about the integrity of our senior management or the Audit Committee, or their commitment to ensuring that our financial statements are materially accurate.

• With respect to the matters investigated by the Special Committee, the Audit Committee demonstrated appropriate independence and generally provided proper oversight over matters relating to financial reporting.

• With respect to the rehiring of former employees, the tone at the top of our company was appropriate and fully consistent with a commitment to proper financial reporting and legal compliance.

• The Special Committee did not believe that the resignation of EY or the conclusions reached by EY (as described in EY’s letter of resignation dated October 24, 2024 and described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 30, 2024) were supported by the facts examined in the Review, the Special Committee’s interim findings reported to EY on October 2, 2024, or the Special Committee’s final findings.

Due to EY’s stated concerns and subsequent resignation, we were unable to timely file our Annual Report and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024 (together the “Delinquent Reports”) as required under Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). On December 6, 2024, Nasdaq granted us an exception to Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), allowing us to file all the Delinquent Reports by February 25, 2025. On February 25, 2025, we filed all the Delinquent Reports.

Attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This “Controls and Procedures” section includes information concerning the internal controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications.

(a) Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2025 . Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes and has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets and liabilities;

• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets and liabilities that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 119

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.

We have identified the following unremediated material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025:

(i) information technology general controls for certain systems that support our financial reporting process were not appropriately identified, designed or implemented; (ii) controls to address segregation of duties conflicts were not properly designed and appropriately implemented; (iii) controls over the completeness and accuracy of information we produce, impacting multiple financial statement areas were not properly implemented or documented; and (iv) we did not design, implement and retain appropriate documentation of control procedures to achieve timely, complete and accurate recording and disclosures across multiple financial statement areas including the timely identification and disclosure of new related party transactions.

The above material weaknesses could have increased the risk of unauthorized access to certain information technology systems that support our financial reporting processes, manipulation of data that we use to produce our financial statements, and/or lack of complete and accurate information, which could lead to financial misstatements and affect our ability to report our information on a timely basis.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, management believes and has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

(c) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, P.C., has audited our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025, and for the two fiscal years then ended, included in this Annual Report which is contained in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and also as part of its audit, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is contained below.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 120

(d) Remediation Plan and Status

We have identified and are implementing actions intended to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and will continue to do so until the remediation of the material weaknesses identified above is complete, and we are able to conclude that both our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the year ended June 30, 2025, we began to implement changes designed to improve our internal controls over financial reporting and to remediate the material weaknesses, including, but not limited to:

• Enhancing our accounting organization’s competencies by adding additional qualified leadership personnel with strong technical accounting, external reporting and governance experience; specifically,

◦identified and hired a Vice President who is qualified to lead our technical accounting, external reporting and global internal controls compliance;

◦reassessed our accounting procedures and related documentation, and, as part of the financial reporting process, began implementing the use of supplementary checklists as well as conducting additional reviews and evaluations of transactions to improve the accuracy and reliability of our financial information.

◦replaced certain existing financial personnel with appropriate qualified personnel to ensure that procedures are implemented, adequate reviews are performed, and financial information as presented is accurate.

◦Promoted our controller to Chief Accounting Officer.

• In June 2025, we launched a global learning management and communication system, to develop and roll out appropriate compliance and other mandatory training courses, across various areas, including Finance, Compliance, Information Technology and Sales, to our global workforce to ensure that our personnel stay current on a wide variety of areas;

• Established and implemented a standard policy for manual journal entry creation and posting, including clear documentation criteria, review and approval requirements based on the risk profile of the financial statement line item impacted, with automated workflow mapping that more extensively utilizes the functionality and automation solutions available in our ERP system. This includes more rigorous enforcement of user roles and access controls to ensure oversight and prevent unauthorized entries. We believe these actions have remediated the material weakness we previously identified relating to the review and approval of manual journal entries and the prevention of any unauthorized access to post journal entries;

• Completed a risk-based review of our overall IT architecture, including the composition of our IT organization and applications, to ensure that all systems that support our financial reporting processes were appropriately identified to be part of the population over which we design and maintain ITGCs. In addition, we also either designed additional controls or have executed on existing controls diligently, including expanding the applications that are included within the scope of our Information Technology General Controls, with an increased emphasis on provisioning, change management and privileged and firefighter access related processes, thereby strengthening the design and implementation and operating effectiveness (for certain applications) of our overall information technology related processes and controls;

• Re-evaluated and established and/or amended additional key entity level controls covering a wide variety of areas including but not limited to our global SOX program, fraud risk assessment, hiring practices and global corporate trainings to align closely with our overall strategies and the overall COSO framework; and

• Began implementing a full redesign of our ERP system security role structure and segregation of duties (“SOD”) rulesets. This redesign is foundational to both remediating the SOD-related material weakness and building a sustainable, compliant access model. As part of this reset, we are adopting a leading practice, template driven approach, that will bring standardization to our ruleset and eliminate SOD conflicts and/or mitigate them as appropriate.

Implementing and maintaining an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and in the economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations. As we continue to evaluate and take actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional actions to address control deficiencies or modify certain of the remediation measures described above.

While we have made progress to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we are still in the process of implementing these processes, procedures and controls. We will require additional time to complete implementation and to assess and ensure the long-term sustainability of these procedures. We believe the above actions will be effective in remediating the material weaknesses described above, and we will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded that these controls are operating effectively.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 121

(e) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the changes in the internal controls to remediate a material weakness over the review and approval of manual journal entries and other changes as part of our plans to remediate the above mentioned material weaknesses as discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

However, as noted above, we will be implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address the material weaknesses described above.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Stockholders and Board of Directors

Super Micro Computer, Inc.

San Jose, California

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Super Micro Computer, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management’s statements referring to any corrective actions taken by the Company after the date of management’s assessment.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) and our report dated August 28, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 9A, Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Material weaknesses were identified and described in management’s assessment regarding the following: (1) information technology general controls for certain systems that support the Company's financial reporting process were not appropriately identified, designed or implemented; (2) controls to address segregation of duties conflicts were not properly designed and appropriately implemented; (3) controls over the completeness and accuracy of information produced by the entity impacting multiple financial statement areas were not properly implemented or documented; and (4) management did not design, implement and retain appropriate documentation of control procedures to achieve timely, complete and accurate recording and disclosures across multiple financial statement areas including the timely identification and disclosure of new related party transactions. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2025 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated August 28, 2025 on those consolidated financial statements.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 123

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Composition of the Board

Our authorized number of directors is currently nine. There are currently nine directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance Guidelines

We have adopted a “Board of Directors Charter” as our corporate governance guidelines, which aims to ensure the Board’s independence from management, its effective oversight of management, and alignment between the interests of the Board, management, and our stockholders. The “Board of Directors Charter” is available at https://ir.supermicro.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 129

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” that is applicable to all directors, executive officers and employees and embodies our principles and practices relating to the ethical conduct of our business and our long-standing commitment to honesty, fair dealing, accurate disclosures, and full compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations affecting our business. Our “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” is available at https://ir.supermicro.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx. Any substantive amendment or waiver of the Code relating to executive officers or directors will be made only after approval by our Board of Directors and will be promptly disclosed on our website and filed with the SEC on Form 8-K within four business days.

Director Independence

The listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market generally require that a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors be independent. In addition, the listing rules generally require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee be independent. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market. In addition, compensation committee members must satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Each year, the Board affirmatively assesses the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director in accordance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Based on these standards, our Board has determined that six of its current nine members, Judy Lin, Robert Blair, Scott Angel, Sherman Tuan, Susan Mogensen (Susie Giordano) and Tally Liu, are “independent directors” under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Executive Sessions

Non-management directors generally meet in executive session without management present when the Board holds its regularly scheduled meetings.

MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Board Meetings

Each director is expected to devote sufficient time, energy and attention to ensure diligent performance of his or her duties and to attend all Board and committee meetings. We encourage, but do not require, each Board member to attend our annual meeting of stockholders. We held an annual meeting of stockholders on June 4, 2025, for our fiscal year 2024. The Board held 26 meetings during fiscal year 2025, 4 of which were regularly scheduled meetings and 22 of which were special meetings. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which they served during the time they were members of the Board or such committees during fiscal year 2025.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Chairman, Charles Liang, is also our Chief Executive Officer. The Board and our Governance Committee believe that it is appropriate for Mr. Liang to serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman due to the relatively small size of our Board, and the fact that Mr. Liang is the founder of our company with extensive experience in our industry.

In December 2023, Mr. Tally Liu was appointed as lead independent director for a one-year term, which has since expired. Mr. Liu was re-appointed in January 2025 for another one-year term, expiring in January 2026.

Board Role in the Oversight of Risk

The Audit Committee reports to the full Board on such matters as appropriate.

Our management, with oversight from our Compensation Committee, has reviewed our compensation policies and practices with respect to risk-taking incentives and risk management and does not believe that potential risks arising from our compensation polices or practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board has three standing committees to facilitate and assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance Committee. In accordance with applicable listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market, each of these committees is comprised solely of non-employee, independent directors. The charter for each committee is available at https://ir.supermicro.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx. In April 2025, each of the three standing committees conducted their periodic review of their charters. A description of the charters is set forth below. The charter of each committee also is available in print to any stockholder who requests it. The following table sets forth the current members of each of the standing Board committees.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”)

In this section we provide an explanation and analysis of the material elements of the compensation provided to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and both of our other two executive officers who were serving on June 30, 2025, which was the end of our fiscal year 2025 (collectively referred to as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs”).

Our named executive officers and their positions at the end of fiscal year 2025 were:

Overview of Compensation

FY2025 Other NEO Compensation Mix

(Aggregate Compensation)(1)

(1)The chart presents the percentage compensation by compensation component received by the three non-CEO named executive officers together (aggregate compensation) as a group, as well as the split between cash and equity compensation for all such persons received in the aggregate as a group. No equivalent chart is presented for CEO compensation because, for all of fiscal year 2025, and continuing for up to about the next four years, almost all of Mr. Liang’s compensation has been, and is expected to be, based only upon his ability to earn the 2021 CEO Performance Award (which vested in its entirety during fiscal year 2024) and the 2023 CEO Performance Award (which was issued during fiscal year 2024 and partially vested during fiscal year 2025), all as further described below.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 135

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives—Continuing Improvement of Performance-Based Compensation Arrangements

Our executive compensation philosophy is to link a significant portion of NEO compensation to corporate performance using components such as PRSUs and stock options and reduce our reliance on fixed compensation such as Base Salary, fixed bonus (“Fixed Bonus”), and stock grants with only time-based vesting. During fiscal year 2025, such efforts (which began in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 (“fiscal year 2021”) continued. For our CEO, his salary remained at $1.00 per year, and he was not granted any additional equity awards. His compensation consisted primarily of the opportunity to earn additional tranches of the performance-based option granted to him during fiscal 2024. With respect to our NEOs besides our CEO (the “Other NEOs”), we again implemented performance-based plan with defined performance metrics (“key performance indicators” or “KPIs”) similar to the plans which we utilized for prior fiscal years. As a result, for fiscal year 2025, our Other NEOs each had a performance program (the “FY2025 Performance Program for Other NEOs”) as described further below. The KPI measures for the performance programs for our Other NEOs for fiscal year 2024 were originally approved by the Compensation Committee in January 2024, and these same measures were retained for fiscal year 2025. See “FY2025 Performance Program for Other NEOs” below for more specific information about the design and operation of the FY2025 Performance Program for Ohers NEOs.

With respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Liang, fiscal year 2025 was the second year of evaluating and monitoring the results of performance-based compensation arrangements made with Mr. Liang in November 2023, during fiscal year 2024 (the “2023 CEO Performance Award”). Since March 2021, when he was granted a performance-based option (the “2021 CEO Performance Award”), Mr. Liang’s compensation has been almost completely performance-based. In connection with the 2021 CEO Performance Award, Mr. Liang’s Base Salary was reduced to $1 per year and Mr. Liang agreed that he would not be eligible for any increase in Base Salary, or any other cash compensation, until June 30, 2026. As described further below, the 2021 CEO Performance Award permits Mr. Liang to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share (which price was 32% higher than the market price of our common stock on the date of the award ($3.41)), and is comprised of five tranches that vested only if the market price of our common stock reached various prices (ranging from $4.50 to $12.00 per share) and we achieved certain specified revenue goals. At the beginning of fiscal year 2025, all five tranches under 2021 CEO Performance Award had already vested. As of June 30, 2025, Mr. Liang had not exercised any portion of the 2021 CEO Performance Award.

The 2023 CEO Performance Award permits Mr. Liang to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $45.00 per share (which price represented a premium of approximately 53% to the closing stock price on the date of grant), and is comprised of five tranches that vest only if the market price of our common stock reaches various prices (ranging from $45.00 to $110.00 per share) and we achieve certain specified revenue goals (ranging from $13.0 billion to $21.0 billion in revenue over four consecutive fiscal quarters). See “Discussion and Analysis of 2023 CEO Performance Award” for additional discussion with respect to the 2023 CEO Performance Award and the achievement of the various goals thereunder. In connection with the 2023 CEO Performance Award, Mr. Liang agreed that he would continue to receive only a de minimis salary of $1 per annum (or such other non-waivable minimum wage requirement) and no cash bonuses through the earlier of (1) the date all of the tranches under the 2023 CEO Performance Award shall have vested and (2) March 31, 2029. Under the 2021 CEO Performance Award, such restriction period ran through just June 30, 2026. Similar to the 2021 CEO Performance Award, Mr. Liang must also remain as our CEO (or such other position with us as Mr. Liang and the Board may agree) at the time each goal is met in order for the corresponding tranche to vest. This helps ensure Mr. Liang’s active leadership of us over the long term.

In summary, since fiscal year 2021 and for each of fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 almost all of Mr. Liang’s compensation has been based only upon achieving the revenue goals and common stock price targets under his 2021 CEO Performance Award and his 2023 CEO Performance Award. To fully achieve the performance goals of the 2023 CEO Performance Award, our revenue had to increase to $21.0 billion over a rolling four-quarter period (from $7.1 billion for fiscal year 2023, which was the last full fiscal year before the award). The $21.0 billion revenue goal was achieved in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, and was certified by the Compensation Committee as achieved on August 26, 2025.

Based upon the sixty-trading-day average stock price of our common stock since the issuance of the 2023 CEO Performance Award, four of the five stock price goals under the 2023 CEO Performance Award (specifically, goals of $45, $60, $75, and $90 per share) were achieved during fiscal year 2024, and only the stock price goal of $110 per share remains to be achieved. As of the end of fiscal year 2025, all five revenue goals under the 2023 CEO Performance Award had been achieved. The fifth stock price goal has not been achieved, so even though the fifth revenue goal of $21.0 billion has been achieved, the fifth tranche of the 2023 CEO Performance Award has vested, with the result that 4,000,000 of the 5,000,000 shares subject to the 2023 CEO Performance Award have vested.

Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions

Pursuant to our Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee has the responsibility for the review and approval of any related person transactions; provided that if the matter or transaction involves employment or compensation terms for services to our company, including retention or payment provisions relating to expert services, then it is presented to the Compensation Committee. In approving or rejecting a proposed transaction, or a relationship that encompasses many similar transactions, our Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant, including but not limited to the risks, costs and benefits to us, the terms of the transaction, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and, if applicable, the impact on a director’s independence. Our Audit Committee approves only those transactions that, in light of known circumstances are not inconsistent with our best interests, as the Audit Committee determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion. In addition, we annually require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions as such term is defined by SEC rules and regulations. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

Transactions with Ablecom and Compuware

We have entered into a series of agreements with Ablecom, a Taiwan corporation, and one of its affiliates, Compuware. Ablecom’s ownership of Compuware is below 50% but Compuware remains a related party as Ablecom still has significant influence over the operations. Ablecom’s Chief Executive Officer, Steve Liang, is the brother of Charles Liang, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Steve Liang and his family members owned approximately 35.0% of Ablecom’s stock. Charles Liang and his spouse, Sara Liu, an officer and director of our company, collectively owned approximately 10.5% of Ablecom’s capital stock as of June 30, 2025. Bill Liang, a brother of both Charles Liang and Steve Liang, owned approximately 1.8% of Ablecom’s stock. Bill Liang is also a member of the Board of Directors of Ablecom.

SMCI | 2025 Form 10-K | 166

We have entered into a series of agreements with Ablecom, including multiple product development, production and service agreements, credit agreements, product manufacturing agreements, manufacturing services agreements and lease agreements for warehouse space.

Under these agreements, we outsource a portion of our design activities and a significant part of our server chassis manufacturing of components such as server chassis to Ablecom. Ablecom agrees to design products according to our specifications. Additionally, Ablecom agrees to build the tools needed to manufacture the products. We have agreed to pay for the cost of chassis and related product tooling and engineering services and will pay for those items when the work has been completed.

We have appointed Compuware as a non-exclusive authorized distributor of our products in Taiwan, China and Australia. We believe that the pricing and terms under the distribution agreement are similar to the pricing and terms of distribution arrangements we have with similar third-party distributors.

We have also entered into a series of agreements with Compuware, including multiple product development, production and service agreements, product manufacturing agreements, and lease agreements for office space. We have credit agreements with Compuware that outline the terms and conditions governing their business dealings. Under these agreements, we outsource to Compuware a portion of our design activities and a significant part of our manufacturing of components, particularly power supplies. With respect to design activities, Compuware generally agrees to design certain agreed-upon products according to our specifications, and further agrees to build the tools needed to manufacture the products. We pay Compuware for the design and engineering services, and further agree to pay Compuware for the tooling.

We retain full ownership of any intellectual property resulting from the design of these products and tooling. With respect to the manufacturing aspects of the relationship, Compuware purchases most of the materials needed to manufacture the power supplies from outside markets and uses these materials to manufacture the products and then sell to us. We review and frequently negotiate with Compuware the prices of the power supplies that we purchase from Compuware. Compuware also manufactures motherboards, backplanes and other components used on our printed circuit boards. We sell to Compuware most of the components needed to manufacture the above products. Compuware uses these components to manufacture and then sells back the products to us at a purchase price equal to the price at which we sold the components to Compuware, plus a “manufacturing value added” fee and other miscellaneous material charges and costs. We frequently review and negotiate with Compuware the amount of the “manufacturing value added” fee that will be included in the price of the products we purchase from Compuware.

Ablecom’s sales to us comprise a majority of Ablecom’s net sales. For fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we purchased products from Ablecom totaling $321.9 million, $269.3 million, and $167.8 million, respectively. Amounts owed to Ablecom by us as of June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, were $55.5 million, $98.6 million, and $35.7 million, respectively.

Compuware’s sales of our products to others comprise a majority of Compuware’s net sales. For fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we sold products to Compuware totaling $30.2 million, $46.6 million, and $36.3 million, respectively. Amounts owed to us by Compuware as of June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, were $13.0 million, $10.0 million, and $24.9 million, respectively. The price at which Compuware purchases the products from us is at a discount from our standard price for purchasers who purchase specified volumes from us. In exchange for this discount, Compuware assumes the responsibility of installing our products at the site of the end customer and administers first-level customer support. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we purchased products from Compuware totaling $328.3 million, $280.8 million, and $217.0 million, respectively.

Our exposure to financial loss as a result of our involvement with Ablecom is limited to potential losses on our purchase orders in the event of an unforeseen decline in the market price and/or demand for our products such that we incur a loss on the sale or cannot sell the products. Our outstanding non-cancelable purchase orders to Ablecom were $30.6 million, $58.8 million, and $23.7 million at June 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, representing the maximum exposure to financial loss.

Super Micro Asia Science and Technology Park, Inc. We and Ablecom jointly established Super Micro Asia Science and Technology Park, Inc. (the “Management Company”) in Taiwan to manage the common areas shared by us and Ablecom for its separately constructed manufacturing facilities. In fiscal year 2012, each party contributed $0.2 million for a 50% ownership interest of the Management Company. Certain affiliates of Ablecom serve as directors of the Management Company.

Other transactions

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we had immaterial chargebacks from Green Earth, an entity affiliated with our CEO. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, we made $0.5 million in sales and purchased $0.1 million in products from Green Earth. Such sales were made at market prices and on other terms which were arm’s length.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we had no sales to and purchases from Aeon Lighting. Aeon Lighting is a company incorporated under the laws of Taiwan and owned more than 10% by James Liang, a brother of Charles Liang. James Liang is also a director of Aeon Lighting and serves as CEO of such entity. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, we sold approximately $0.1 million of products indirectly to Aeon Lighting through a systems integrator. Our products were sold at market prices and on arm’s length terms.

In June 2025, we acquired an approximately 11% interest in Ampera, Inc. (“Ampera”), a clean energy technology company focused on the development and deployment of advanced battery storage solutions. We represent approximately 33% on the board of directors as we have one board of director seat on a board of three. With the combination of our 11% equity interest and board representation, we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Ampera. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we had no sale or purchases transactions with Ampera. As of June 30, 2025, there was no balance due to and from Ampera.

In October 2023, Ablecom and Compuware acquired an approximate 30% interest in Leadtek, a Taiwan company specializing in providing professional graphics cards and workstation solutions. Prior to the Leadtek Investment, none of our related persons had direct or indirect material interests in any transactions in which we were a participant with Leadtek. Accordingly, no prior disclosure of transactions with Leadtek was required under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Commencing with the closing of the Leadtek Investment, Steve Liang and Bill Liang have served as two of the seven members of the Leadtek board of directors. At the time of Leadtek Investment, Leadtek was, and it continues to be, an authorized reseller for us. During the year ended 2025 and 2024, we engaged in transactions whereby it sold $0.7 million and $1.4 million of server to Leadtek, and purchased $0.5 million and $2.1 million of graphic cards from Leadtek, respectively.

Loans

The loan was originally made at Mr. Liang’s request to provide funds to repay margin loans to two financial institutions, which loans had been secured by shares of our common stock that he held. The lenders called the loans in October 2018, following the suspension of our common stock from trading on Nasdaq in August 2018 and the decline in the market price of our common stock in October 2018. As of June 30, 2025, the amount due on the unsecured loan (including principal and accrued interest) was approximately $16.8 million.
