Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that reflect Arm Holdings plc’s (“Arm”) plans, beliefs, expectations and current views with respect to, among other things, future 
events and financial performance. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause Arm’s actual results, levels of activity, 
performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. There are many factors that could cause or 
contribute to such differences, including, but not limited to, the following: Arm's dependence on the semiconductor and electronics industries and the demand for the products of its 
customers; Arm's dependence on the compatibility of its products with the manufacturing and design processes of its customers; Arm's development of compute subsystems, chiplets, 
and complete end chip solutions as well as other more integrated compute products; Arm's reliance on third parties to market and sell chips and end products incorporating its products, 
as well as add value to its licensed products; Arm's dependence on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of its revenue; the loss of any of Arm's senior management 
personnel or one or more key employees or Arm's inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; Arm's ability to adequately fund its research and development efforts; risks related to 
the availability of development tools, systems software, electronic design automation tools and operating systems compatible with its architecture; Arm's ability to protect its proprietary 
products and its brand, and the costs of protecting such intellectual property rights, particularly as a result of litigation; Arm's ability to verify royalty amounts owed to it under its licensing 
agreements; risks related to foreign exchange fluctuations; changes in Arm's effective tax rate; risks associated with organic growth or growth from strategic investments or acquisitions 
Arm makes, and the risk of failing to effectively manage its growth; risks associated with the slow development of the market for Arm's connectivity, device and data management 
platform; the possibility of cyberattacks, breaches of Arm's security controls and unauthorized access to its data or a customer’s data; Arm's ability to satisfy data protection, security, 
privacy or other government- and industry-specific requirements; risks associated with the interests of SoftBank Group Corp., Arm's controlling shareholder, conflicting with the interests 
of other holders of Arm's ordinary shares and American depositary shares; and effects of global general economic conditions, political factors, war or hostility, pandemics and other events 
outside of Arm's control. Refer to “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in Arm’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission on May 28, 2025, for additional risks and uncertainties that may cause Arm's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially 
different from the information expressed or implied by forward-looking statements included herein. 
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended, and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking 
statements, including without limitation, statements relating to Arm’s future operations, results of operations and other matters that are based on Arm’s current expectations, estimates, 
assumptions and projections. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” 
“is/are likely to,” “intend,” “plan,” “objective,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “target,” “continue,” “ongoing” or similar words or phrases, or the negative of these 
words or phrases. The inclusion of forward-looking statements in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by Arm or any other person that the future plans, estimates 
or expectations contemplated by Arm will be achieved or that Arm has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. The forward-looking 
statements included in this presentation are based on the current beliefs, assumptions and expectations of Arm’s management with respect to Arm’s future economic performance, 
considering the information currently available to management. While Arm believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or 
incomplete. Accordingly, there are, or will be, important factors that could cause Arm’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. All such factors are 
difficult to predict, represent uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond Arm’s control. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for 
management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of each such risk factor on Arm. Any forward-looking statement in this presentation speaks only as of the date hereof, 
and Arm does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation except as required by applicable 
law. If one or more risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Arm’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, Arm’s actual results may vary materially from what Arm may have 
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Arm cautions that you should not place undue reliance on any of Arm’s forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Arm utilizes, and this presentation includes, certain non-GAAP financial 
measures that differ from measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Arm’s non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP 
gross margin, non-GAAP research and development operating expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative operating expenses,non-GAAP operating expense, net, nonGAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from equity investments, net, non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes, non-GAAP income tax 
benefit (expense), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP effective tax rate benefit (expense), 
non-GAAP free cash flow, and non-GAAP free cash flow for the trailing twelve months. Arm believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and 
others in understanding and evaluating its results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of its business performance. Moreover, Arm has 
included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are key measurements used by its management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing 
operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. Arm believes that the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures, when 
viewed holistically, is helpful to investors in assessing the consistency and comparability of its performance in relation to prior periods and facilitates comparisons of its financial 
performance relative to its competitors, particularly with respect to competitors that present similar non-GAAP financial measures in addition to their GAAP results. 
Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental financial purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, 
and may not align with similar financial measures presented by Arm’s competitors, which may limit the ability of investors to assess Arm’s performance relative to certain peer companies. 
Non-GAAP financial measures presented herein exclude share-based compensation, or SBC, cost associated with equity-classified awards where Arm’s intent is to issue equity upon 
vesting (in lieu of cash settlement), employer taxes related to SBC equity-classified awards, net of the research and development, or R&D, tax incentives associated with these taxes, 
other operating income (expenses), net, costs associated with disposal activities, (income) loss from equity method investments, and income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments. Arm 
excludes these items from its non-GAAP financial measures because they are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable and 
not driven by core results of operations, which renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.
Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including operating income, net income and Arm’s other GAAP results. A 
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included at the end of this presentation. 
Arm is unable to provide a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis because doing so would not be 
possible without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, the potential variability and limited visibility of the excluded items. For the same reasons, Arm is unable to address the 
probable significance of the unavailable information.
Third-Party Information
Arm has neither sought nor obtained the consent from any third party to use any logos, statements or information contained herein that have been obtained or derived from logos, 
statements or information made or published by such third parties. Any such logos, statements or information should not be viewed as indicating the support of such third parties for the 
views expressed herein. While the information included herein obtained from third parties is believed to be reliable, neither Arm nor any of its affiliates assume any responsibility for the 
accuracy of such information.

Compute Subsystems: A better starting point for chip design
Rising design and manufacturing complexity is lifting cost, time-to-market and risk
• Arm Total Design (ATD) 
ecosystem helps partners build 
custom Arm CSS chips
• More than 30 ATD partners 
include ASIC, EDA, backend, 
software, chiplet, and design 
services firms
CSS helps partners solve cost and 
time-to-market challenges
CSS adopted across 
many end markets
Growing ecosystem 
accelerates deployment
• Longer manufacturing time of 
highly complex chips 
compresses the time available 
for chip design
• CSS pre-integrated Arm IP 
reduces engineering effort and 
so reduces design time, cost and 
risk
Smartphone PC
Data center Automotive
• Leading semi cos, OEMs and 
CSPs use CSS to accelerate 
chip designs
• 16 CSS licenses to date – ahead 
of plan; likely preferred model for 
many partners in the future
CSS substantially increases Arm’s royalty revenue per chip

(1) For more information and definitions of the non-GAAP measures see the “Key Financial and Operating Metrics” section of our most recent Shareholder Letter, 
available at https://investors.arm.com/. A reconciliation of each of the projected non-GAAP operating expense and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share, which 
are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because Arm is unable to provide such 
reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide each reconciliation is due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the 
items we exclude from the non-GAAP measure.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “is/are likely to,” “intend,” “plan,” “objective,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “target,” “continue,” “ongoing” or similar words or phrases, or the negative of these words or phrases. The inclusion of forward-looking statements in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by Arm or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by Arm will be achieved or that Arm has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. The forward-looking statements included in this presentation are based on the current beliefs, assumptions and expectations of Arm’s management with respect to Arm’s future economic performance, considering the information currently available to management. While Arm believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Accordingly, there are, or will be, important factors that could cause Arm’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. All such factors are difficult to predict, represent uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond Arm’s control. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of each such risk factor on Arm. Any forward-looking statement in this presentation speaks only as of the date hereof, and Arm does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation except as required by applicable law. If one or more risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Arm’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, Arm’s actual results may vary materially from what Arm may have expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Arm cautions that you should not place undue reliance on any of Arm’s forward-looking statements.
    • 3. © 2025 Arm 3 Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Arm utilizes, and this presentation includes, certain non-GAAP financial measures that differ from measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Arm’s non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development operating expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative operating expenses,non-GAAP operating expense, net, nonGAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from equity investments, net, non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes, non-GAAP income tax benefit (expense), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP basic and diluted net income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders, non-GAAP effective tax rate benefit (expense), non-GAAP free cash flow, and non-GAAP free cash flow for the trailing twelve months. Arm believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its results of operations, as well as provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of its business performance. Moreover, Arm has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are key measurements used by its management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting. Arm believes that the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed holistically, is helpful to investors in assessing the consistency and comparability of its performance in relation to prior periods and facilitates comparisons of its financial performance relative to its competitors, particularly with respect to competitors that present similar non-GAAP financial measures in addition to their GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental financial purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may not align with similar financial measures presented by Arm’s competitors, which may limit the ability of investors to assess Arm’s performance relative to certain peer companies. Non-GAAP financial measures presented herein exclude share-based compensation, or SBC, cost associated with equity-classified awards where Arm’s intent is to issue equity upon vesting (in lieu of cash settlement), employer taxes related to SBC equity-classified awards, net of the research and development, or R&D, tax incentives associated with these taxes, other operating income (expenses), net, costs associated with disposal activities, (income) loss from equity method investments, and income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments. Arm excludes these items from its non-GAAP financial measures because they are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable and not driven by core results of operations, which renders comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including operating income, net income and Arm’s other GAAP results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included at the end of this presentation. Arm is unable to provide a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis because doing so would not be possible without unreasonable effort due to, among other things, the potential variability and limited visibility of the excluded items. For the same reasons, Arm is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Third-Party Information Arm has neither sought nor obtained the consent from any third party to use any logos, statements or information contained herein that have been obtained or derived from logos, statements or information made or published by such third parties. Any such logos, statements or information should not be viewed as indicating the support of such third parties for the views expressed herein.
