Outlook

ARM enters the final quarter of 2015 with strong royalty momentum, as indicated by industry and customer data, and a healthy licensing pipeline. We expect group dollar revenues for the full-year to be in-line with market expectations. 

Simon Segars, Chief Executive Officer, said:

Q3 has been another strong quarter for royalty revenue growth, driven by premium chip pricing and elevated royalty percentages from recently introduced ARMv8-A based chips. These new chips are now shipping in a wide range of devices including smartphones, enterprise equipment such as base stations and servers, and consumer electronics such as digital TVs. 

ARM technology is being deployed in an increasingly diverse range of products and markets, from the ubiquitous sensors that will form the Internet of Things, to energy-efficient smartphones, to high-performance servers. With the broadening adoption of ARM technology, we are continuing to invest in developing new products and revenue streams to support long-term growth and returns for shareholders."
