Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring and other related charges (including, but not limited to, asset impairment charges, recognition of future contractual obligations, employee severance costs, and facilities related charges), resolution of legal matters, and certain expenses and benefits that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core business. Although Marvell excludes the amortization of all acquired intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase price accounting arising from acquisitions, and that such amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to Marvell's revenues earned during the periods presented and are expected to contribute to Marvell's future period revenues as well. Marvell uses a non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This non-GAAP tax rate is based on Marvell's estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from Marvell's non-GAAP income, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items which vary in size and frequency, and excludes tax deductions and benefits from acquired tax loss and credit carryforwards and changes in valuation allowance on acquired deferred tax assets. Marvell's non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate such as tax law changes; acquisitions; significant changes in Marvell's geographic mix of revenue and expenses; or changes to Marvell's corporate structure. For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, a non-GAAP tax rate of 7.0% has been applied to the non-GAAP financial results. Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Marvell's financial condition and results of operations. While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. Externally, management believes that investors may find Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Marvell's operating performance and the valuation of Marvell. Internally, Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas: Management's evaluation of Marvell's operating performance; Management's establishment of internal operating budgets; Management's performance comparisons with internal forecasts and targeted business models; and Management's determination of the achievement and measurement of certain types of compensation including Marvell's annual incentive plan and certain performance-based equity awards (adjustments may vary from award to award). Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Marvell's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Marvell's results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he won't play Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's games by voting to bring down the government on an upcoming non-confidence motion. The Conservatives plan to introduce a motion that quotes Singh's own criticism of the Liberals, and asks the House of Commons to declare that it agrees with Singh and has no confidence in the government. The motion is expected to be introduced on Thursday and the debate and vote are set for Monday. Singh says he is not going to vote non-confidence and trigger an election when he believes Poilievre would cut programs the NDP fought for, like dental care and pharmacare. The non-confidence vote was scheduled after Speaker Greg Fergus intervened to pause a filibuster on a privilege debate about a green technology fund. The Conservatives have said they would only end that debate if the NDP agree to topple the government or if the Liberals turn over unredacted documents at the centre of the parliamentary gridlock.

After weeks of hitting a wall, the Nebraska Huskers football team finally broke through on Saturday. With a dominant 44-25 win over the Wisconsin Badgers, the Huskers not only ended their four-game losing streak and became bowl-eligible — ending the longest bowl drought among Power 4 schools at seven years — and got their first win against the Badgers since 2012, but seemingly took a big step forward. Follow us on Facebook In the second game under new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, the Huskers scored their most points in a game under Matt Rhule and the most against a Power 4 opponent since a 56-7 blowout of Northwestern on Oct. 2, 2021. Rhule, quarterback Dylan Raiola and others had expressed optimism with the offense's direction in the couple of weeks since Holgorsen joined the program, but after the unit put up only 13 points last weekend against USC and scored only two field goals on three red zone trips, the Big Red followed it up with a big showing. The Huskers scored eight times and all seven times in the red zone — five via touchdowns — including on six straight drives in the second half. Nebraska's 180 rushing yards and 473 total yards were its most since the season-opener against UTEP, and they came on the backs of several big-time performances. Holgorsen and Rhule have talked about players needing to make plays, and several guys finally delivered. Sophomore running back Emmett Johnson had never reached 100 scrimmage yards in a collegiate game before Saturday but totaled 113 rushing yards (on 7.1 yards per carry) and 198 total yards from scrimmage. Raiola finished 28-of-38 for 293 yards and a touchdown, his most passing yards since Sept. 20 against Illinois and best completion rate since against Northern Iowa a week earlier. And freshman Jacory Barney Jr. had a career-high nine catches and 85 receiving yards, breaking the school record for catches by a true freshman (was 40 receptions by Wan’Dale Robinson in 2019). Defensively, the Huskers still gave up some big plays but also rallied to the ball all day, forced a couple of turnovers and came up with some big-time plays. Nebraska still has plenty of room to improve but Saturday was a big step, and a long time coming for a program that desperately needed that. Dylan Widger-Imagn Images
In a bold new proposal, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are spearheading a plan that could dramatically reshape the U.S. federal workforce. It centers on letting go of federal employees who refuse to go back to the office five days a week, all to achieve a breathtakingly bold goal—to reinvigorate government efficiency and cut billions in taxpayer dollars. The Plan to End Remote Work for Federal Employees Musk is CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, while Ramaswamy is a former presidential contender. The duo is pushing for major reforms to the U.S. government bureaucracy. Their mission is clear: federal workers who continue to enjoy the “Covid-era privilege” of working from home should not be paid by the American public. In their opinion, there are those unwilling to show up in the office—a burden on taxpayer dollars. “If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them,” Musk and Ramaswamy declared in an op-ed published by The Wall Street Journal. The initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce federal spending, which they argue is bloated by inefficiency and lack of accountability. Aiming to Save $2 Trillion The plan is not just about how to enforce a return to the office as part of a larger scheme to trim $2 trillion from the federal budget. In order to make the federal workforce more efficient while ensuring that taxpayer dollars are better spent, Musk and Ramaswamy aim to cut wasted spending and restructure government agencies. In their plan, they posit that “mass headcount reductions” will have to be undertaken to achieve these objectives; certainly, part of the emphasis should be placed on civil servants who refuse to go back to office premises once the remote work policies initiated as part of the pandemics are repealed. The newly founded Department of Government Efficiency will be led by these two, and it is from there that Musk and Ramaswamy should present their vision to achieve the aforesaid mission of reorganizing federal agencies, making their operations efficient, and eliminating inefficiencies that waste government and taxpayer resources. These two men, one a visionary in the private sector and the other once a presidential hopeful, are bringing entrepreneurial and political experience to the table in a bid to fundamentally overhaul how the U.S. government operates. Musk and Ramaswamy: A vision of a Less Bureaucratic U.S. Government Both Musk and Ramaswamy have shown lively interest in government spending at grotesquely enormous levels. According to their op-ed, the pair believes that the government spends over $500 billion annually on inefficient or unauthorized programs. Bold reforms are said to be on their way with the decision of possibly taking federal departments out of Washington D.C. They argue that civil service regulation allows for “reductions in force” and the putting into effect of rules that would target inefficiency, not individual workers. A Strong Mandate for Reform The timing of their proposal is strategic. With a new president-elect, Donald Trump, and a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, Musk and Ramaswamy believe they have the political mandate to push through sweeping reforms. The pair sees this as an opportunity to enact their vision for a leaner, more efficient federal government. “Having a decisive electoral mandate and a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court gives us a unique advantage,” they wrote in their article. The Focus on Accountability In addition to saving taxpayer money, the new department will mainly focus on bringing accountability to federal agencies. The proposed reforms aim to ensure that spending is transparent and that every dollar is properly accounted for. This may require shaking up some existing norms and practices by the bureaucracy. The two, Musk and Ramaswamy, have also hinted that these reforms will not be limited to just firing employees; they could involve broad changes to how federal departments operate, how they are funded, and where they are located. Final Thoughts: The Future of Government Efficiency While the proposal has generated much debate, it also resonates with growing frustration over government inefficiency and the ballooning federal budget. Leading this are Musk and Ramaswamy, who are pushing reforms that may ultimately redefine the very makeup of the U.S. government in search of greater efficiency and a cost savings. With Trump behind him and a strong political base, the duo’s plan might just set a new era for American governance. ALSO READ: Grimes Accuses Elon Musk Of Preventing Her From Seeing Their Children
