NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Maxim Integrated”) included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which were considered necessary for fair statement have been included. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the six months ended December 24, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2016 .

The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal year 2016 was a 52-week fiscal year and fiscal year 2017 will also be a 52-week fiscal year.

NOTE 2: RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

(i) New Accounting Updates Recently Adopted

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. As a result of the adoption, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 the Company recorded a $1.4 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings for the recognition of excess tax benefits generated by the settlement of share-based awards in prior periods and a discrete income tax benefit of $3.3 million to the income tax provision for excess tax benefits generated by the settlement, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, of share-based awards. The adoption also resulted in an increase in cash flow from operating activities and a decrease in cash flow from financing activities of $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption was on a prospective basis and therefore had no impact on prior periods.

(ii) Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU No. 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU No. 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU No. 2014-09. Early adoption in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial position and results of operations, as well as its selected transition method.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU No. 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe the implementation of this standard will result in a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of consolidated financial assets and liabilities. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The application of this ASU will be by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet. The amendments related to equity securities without

readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) will be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU to its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which supersedes the lease accounting requirements in Topic 840. ASU 2016-02 requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. The guidance also requires qualitative and specific quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. This guidance is effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 on a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of money market funds.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of U.S. treasury bills, certificates of deposit and foreign currency forward contracts that are valued using quoted market prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates. As a result, the Company has classified these investments as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Also within Level 2 assets and liabilities are shares of common stock received as consideration for the sale of the Company's wafer manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas, which were valued based on quoted prices in the active market for identical assets, adjusted for estimated timing of sale.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 24, 2016 and June 25, 2016 .

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 24, 2016 and June 25, 2016 other than impairments of Long-Lived assets. For details, please refer to Note 14: “Impairment of long-lived assets”.

Securities received as consideration for sale of assets

During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company received approximately $40.0 million in common shares of Tower Semiconductor Ltd. as consideration for the sale of the Company's semiconductor wafer manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas. During the six months ended December 24, 2016 , the Company sold all of these common shares for gross proceeds of approximately $51.0 million and recorded a realized gain of $5.0 million . The Company was required to return to Tower Semiconductor the first $6.0 million in gain realized upon the sale of such shares.

Long-term debt

The following table summarizes the Company’s long-term debt:



	December 24, 2016			June 25, 2016
	(in thousands)
2.5% fixed rate notes due November 2018	$	500,000		$	500,000
3.375% fixed rate notes due March 2023	500,000			500,000

Less: Reduction for unamortized discount and debt issuance costs	(8,719		)	(10,193		)
Total long-term debt	$	991,281		$	990,090

On November 21, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.5% coupon senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes due in November 2018 (“2018 Notes”), with an effective interest rate of 2.6% . Interest on the 2018 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2014. The net proceeds of this offering were approximately $494.5 million , after issuing at a discount and deducting paid expenses.

On March 18, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.375% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes due in March 2023 (“2023 Notes”), with an effective interest rate of 3.5% . Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The net proceeds of this offering were approximately $490.0 million , after issuing at a discount and deducting paid expenses.

The debt indentures that govern the 2023 Notes and the 2018 Notes, respectively, include covenants that limit the Company's ability to grant liens on its facilities and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, which could limit the Company's ability to secure additional debt funding in the future. In circumstances involving a change of control of the Company followed by a downgrade of the rating of the 2023 Notes or the 2018 Notes, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the affected notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company accounts for all the notes above based on their amortized cost. The discount and expenses are being amortized to Interest and other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the life of the notes. The interest expense is recorded in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Amortized discount and expenses, as well as interest expense associated with the notes was $9.3 million and $7.9 million during the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively. Amortized discount and expenses, as well as interest expense associated with the notes was $18.4 million and $15.7 million during the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,000 million as of December 24, 2016 . The estimated fair value of the debt is based primarily on observable market inputs and is a Level 2 measurement.

The Company recorded interest expense of $9.5 million and $8.2 million during the three months ended December 24, 2016 , and December 26, 2015 , respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $18.8 million and $16.3 million during the six months ended December 24, 2016 , and December 26, 2015 , respectively.

Credit Facility

Revolving credit facility

The Company has access to a $350 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders that expires on June 27, 2019. The facility fee is at a rate per annum that varies based on the Company’s index debt rating and any advances under the credit agreement will accrue interest at a base rate plus a margin based on the Company’s index debt rating. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain a ratio of debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of not more than 3 to 1 and a minimum interest

coverage ratio (EBITDA divided by interest expense) greater than 3.5 to 1 . As of December 24, 2016 , the Company had not borrowed any amounts from this credit facility and was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Short-term credit agreement

On June 23, 2016, Maxim Holding Company Ltd., a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of the Company, entered into a short-term credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (the “Lender”), in order to facilitate the return of capital to the Company. The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, the Lender making an unsecured term loan in an amount equal to $250.0 million with a maturity date of June 22, 2017. The net proceeds of this Credit Agreement were approximately $249.7 million , after deducting paid issuance costs. The interest rate on the note was based on LIBOR plus a margin. The initial interest rate was 1.69% per annum and was adjusted quarterly. On December 21, 2016, the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount and all outstanding interest on the loan were repaid.

Other Financial Instruments

For the balance of the Company’s financial instruments, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

NOTE 6: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At December 24, 2016 , the Company had one stock incentive plan, the Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and one employee stock purchase plan, the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2008 ESPP”). The 1996 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors to provide the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance shares, including market stock units (“MSUs”), to employees, directors, and consultants.

Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, the exercise price for incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options is determined to be the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Options typically vest ratably over a four-year period measured from the date of grant. Options generally expire no later than ten years after the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon an optionee's cessation of employment or service.

RSUs granted to employees typically vest ratably over a four-year period and are converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company over that period.

MSUs granted to employees typically vest ratably over a two to four-year period and are converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company over that period. The number of shares that are released at the end of the performance period can range from zero to a maximum cap depending on the Company's performance. The performance metrics of this program are based on relative performance of the Company’s stock price as compared to the Semiconductor Exchange Traded Fund index XSD (the “SPDR S&P”).

The following tables show total stock-based compensation expense by type of award, and the resulting tax effect, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively:

Stock Options

There were no stock options granted in the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 and three and six months ended December 26, 2015 .

The following table summarizes outstanding, exercisable and vested and expected to vest stock options as of December 24, 2016 and their activity for the six months ended December 24, 2016 :



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)
Balance at June 25, 2016	5,935,079		$	25.11
Options Granted	—		—

Vested and expected to vest, December 24, 2016	4,373,670		$	25.61	2.7	$	59,566,002



(1)	Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price and the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 23, 2016, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of options outstanding, exercisable or vested and expected to vest as of December 24, 2016.

As of December 24, 2016 , there was $3.3 million of total unrecognized stock compensation cost related to 1.6 million unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.9 years.

Restricted Stock Units and Other Awards

The fair value of RSUs and other awards under the Company’s 1996 Plan is estimated using the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock prior to vesting. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on a quarterly basis.

The weighted-average fair value of RSUs and other awards granted was $37.27 and $36.14 per share for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively and $36.09 and $28.70 per share for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively.

The following table summarizes the outstanding and expected to vest RSUs and other awards as of December 24, 2016 and their activity during the six months ended December 24, 2016 :



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)
Balance at June 25, 2016	6,620,813
Restricted stock units and other awards granted	1,839,353
Restricted stock units and other awards released	(822,302	)
Restricted stock units and other awards cancelled	(559,966	)
Balance at December 24, 2016	7,077,898		2.9	$	278,074,597
Outstanding and expected to vest, December 24, 2016	5,860,743		2.8	$	229,916,941



(1)	Aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs and other awards represents the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 23, 2016, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of RSUs outstanding or expected to vest as of December 24, 2016.

The Company withheld shares totaling $4.2 million and $9.4 million in value as a result of employee withholding taxes based on the value of the RSUs on their vesting date for the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 . The total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities are reflected as financing activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of December 24, 2016 , there was $154.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to 7.1 million unvested RSUs and other awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.9 years.

Market Stock Units

The Company granted MSUs to senior members of management in September 2014, 2015 and 2016. The grant of MSUs was in lieu of granting stock options. MSUs are valued based on the relative performance of the Company’s stock price as compared to the Semiconductor Exchange Traded Fund index XSD (the “SPDR S&P”). The fair value of MSUs is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on a quarterly basis. Compensation expense is recognized based on the initial valuation and is not subsequently adjusted as a result of the Company’s performance relative to that of the XSD index. Vesting for MSUs is contingent upon both service and market conditions, and has a four-year vesting cliff period.

There were no MSUs granted for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 .

The weighted-average fair value of MSUs granted was $37.29 and $29.64 per share for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively.

The following table summarizes the number of MSUs outstanding and expected to vest as of December 24, 2016 and their activity during the six months ended December 24, 2016 :



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)

Outstanding and expected to vest, December 24, 2016	690,735		3.1	$	27,097,531



(1)	Aggregate intrinsic value for MSUs represents the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 23, 2016, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of MSUs outstanding or expected to vest as of December 24, 2016.

As of December 24, 2016 , there was $19.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to 0.9 million unvested MSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Employees are granted rights to acquire common stock under the 2008 ESPP.

The fair value of ESPP rights granted to employees has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions for the offering periods outstanding:



	ESPP		ESPP
	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	December 24, 2016	December 26, 2015	December 24, 2016	December 26, 2015

Dividend yield	3.4% - 3.6%	3.3% - 3.6%	3.4% - 3.6%	3.3% - 3.6%

As of December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , there was $6.1 million and $7.5 million , respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense related to the 2008 ESPP.

NOTE 7: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings (loss) per share, the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock excludes unvested RSUs and MSUs. Diluted earnings (loss) per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, assumed release of unvested RSUs, Performance Shares, MSUs and assumed issuance of common stock under the 2008 ESPP using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 24, 2016		December 26, 2015		December 24, 2016		December 26, 2015
	(in thousands, except per share data)

Diluted	$	0.45	$	0.23	$	0.93	$	(0.02	)

The Company had a net loss for the six months ended December 26, 2015 , accordingly all incremental shares totaling 5.6 million shares were determined to be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 and the six months ended December 24, 2016 , no securities were determined to be anti-dilutive and therefore none were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

In the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 , the Company recorded an income tax provision of $18.0 million and $45.6 million , respectively, compared to $12.5 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended December 26, 2015 , respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 was 12.1% and 14.5% , respectively, compared to 15.6% and (109.9)% for the three and six months ended December 26, 2015 , respectively.

The Company’s federal statutory tax rate is 35% . The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generated primarily by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates, and a $5.1 million discrete benefit for differences between our fiscal year 2016 tax returns and the tax provision originally recorded, partially offset by stock-based compensation for which no tax benefit is expected and $3.7 million and $6.7 million of discrete interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits in the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 , respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended December 26, 2015 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generated primarily by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates and a $2.5 million discrete benefit for fiscal year 2015 research tax credits that were generated by the extension, retroactive to January 1, 2015, of the federal research tax credit by legislation that was signed into law on December 18, 2015, partially offset by stock-based compensation for which no tax benefit is expected.

The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended December 26, 2015 was higher than the statutory rate primarily because of $3.8 million of discrete interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits and a $1.0 million discrete charge for prior year unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by a $2.5 million discrete benefit for fiscal year 2015 research tax credits that were generated by the extension, retroactive to January 1, 2015, of the federal research tax credit by legislation that was signed into law on December 18, 2015.

The Company’s federal corporate income tax returns are audited on a recurring basis by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS has concluded its field examination of the Company’s federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 (“Audit Years”) and issued a IRS Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) in July 2016 that includes proposed adjustments for transfer pricing issues related to cost sharing and buy-in license payments for the use of intangible property by one of the Company’s international subsidiaries. The Company disagrees with the proposed transfer pricing adjustments and related penalties, and in September 2016, the Company filed a protest to challenge the proposed adjustments and requested a conference with the Appeals Office of the IRS. The Company believes that its reserves for unrecognized tax benefits are sufficient to cover any potential assessments that may result from the final resolution of these transfer pricing issues. In fiscal year 2017, the IRS commenced an audit of the Company’s federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2012 through 2013, which is ongoing.

NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

NOTE 14: IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Fiscal year 2017:

During the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 , the Company recorded $0.4 million and $6.5 million , respectively, in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The impairment was primarily associated with certain investments in privately held companies. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after the determination was made that due to factors during the six months ended December 24, 2016 , the financial condition of the privately held companies indicated an other than temporary impairment.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company classified the micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) business line, including associated tangible assets and goodwill, as held for sale but no impairment charge was recorded as the carrying value of the product lines' associated assets approximated or was less than the fair value, less cost to sell. The fair values of the assets were determined after consideration of quoted market prices of similar equipment and offers received. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company completed the sale of this business line for approximately $42.2 million , resulting in a gain of $26.6 million , included in Other operating income (expenses), net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Fiscal year 2016:

During the fiscal year ended June 25, 2016 , the Company recorded $160.6 million in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a $157.7 million impairment of long-lived assets associated with the Company's wafer manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas which was classified as held for sale and written down to fair value, less cost to sell. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of assets' fair values. The fair value of the land, buildings and equipment was determined after consideration of expected discounted future cash flows attributable to the assets and outside appraisals. The Company signed an agreement with TowerJazz Texas, Inc. (formerly known as TJ Texas, Inc.), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tower Semiconductor Ltd. ("TowerJazz"), for the sale of the semiconductor wafer fabrication facility in San Antonio, Texas on November 18, 2015. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company completed the sale of this facility for approximately $30.0 million in common shares of TowerJazz, resulting in a loss of $1.6 million included in Other operating income (expenses), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, approximately $10.0 million in common shares of TowerJazz were received for the sale of the inventory on hand associated with this facility.

In addition, the San Jose wafer fabrication facility was classified as held for sale during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, but no impairment charge was recorded as the carrying value of the associated assets approximated the fair value, less cost to sell. The fair value of the land, buildings and equipment was determined after consideration of outside appraisals, quoted market prices of similar equipment and offers received. The Company completed the sale of this facility in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 for approximately $39.0 million resulting in a gain of $3.8 million included in Other operating income (expenses), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company classified the energy metering business, including associated tangible and intangible assets and goodwill, as held for sale but no impairment charge was recorded as the carrying value of the product lines' associated assets approximated or was less than the fair value, less cost to sell. The fair values of the assets were determined after consideration of offers received. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company completed the sale of this product line for approximately $105.0 million , resulting in a gain of $58.9 million included in Other operating income (expenses), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 15: RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

Fiscal year 2017:

During the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 , the Company recorded $0.9 million and $10.8 million , respectively, in “Severance and restructuring expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to various restructuring plans designed to reduce costs. These charges were associated with continued reorganization of certain business units and functions and the planned closure of the Dallas wafer level packaging (“WLP”) manufacturing facilities. Multiple job classifications and locations were impacted by these activities.

As the Company plans to close its Dallas, Texas campus, including its WLP manufacturing facility in fiscal year 2017, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $1.6 million and $3.1 million during the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 , respectively.

As of December 24, 2016 , the Company expects to incur future restructuring costs of $1.2 million related to these restructuring plans.

Fiscal year 2016:

San Jose Fab Shutdown

In October 2014, the Company initiated a plan to shut down its San Jose wafer fabrication facility. The Company reached the decision that it was not economically feasible to maintain this facility, which was used primarily for fab process development and low volume manufacturing, as the Company intended to utilize other resources to complete such activities in the future. This plan included cash charges related to employee severance and non-cash charges related to accelerated depreciation. This plan has been completed, and the shutdown took place in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016.

During the fiscal year ending June 25, 2016 , the Company recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $41.6 million , in “Cost of goods sold” and $0.4 million in “Severance and restructuring expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The sale of the San Jose wafer fabrication facility took place during the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. The cumulative costs recorded in fiscal year 2015 and 2016 to complete this restructuring plan were $100.3 million and no future restructuring costs associated with this plan is expected.

Other Plans

During the fiscal year ending June 25, 2016 , the Company recorded $24.0 million in “Severance and restructuring expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income related to various restructuring plans designed to reduce costs. These charges were associated with continued reorganization of certain business units and functions and the planned closure of the Dallas wafer level packaging (“WLP”) manufacturing facilities. Multiple job classifications and locations were impacted by these activities.

As the Company plans to close its Dallas, Texas campus, including its WLP manufacturing facility in fiscal year 2017, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation charges of $13.0 million during the fiscal year ending June 25, 2016 .

Restructuring Accruals

The Company has accruals for severance and restructuring payments within Accrued salary and related expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes changes in the accruals associated with these restructuring activities during the six months ended December 24, 2016 :

(1)	Charges and change in estimates are included in Severance and restructuring expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Change in estimate:

Due to the above mentioned restructuring activities, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation resulting from the change in estimated useful lives of certain long lived assets included in restructuring plans. In all periods that accelerated depreciation expense was recorded, this resulted in additional expense and therefore impacted operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as presented in the table below.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (“Maxim Integrated” or the “Company” and also referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”) disclaims any duty to and undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information relating to existing conditions, future events or otherwise or to release publicly the results of any future revisions it may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by federal securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully review future reports and documents that the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC from time to time, such as its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Overview of Business

Maxim Integrated is incorporated in the state of Delaware. Maxim Integrated designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits, commonly referred to as analog circuits, for a large number of geographically diverse customers. We also provide a range of high-frequency process technologies and capabilities that can be used in custom designs. The analog market is fragmented and characterized by many diverse applications, a great number of product variations and, with respect to many circuit types, relatively long product life cycles. We are a global company with wafer manufacturing facilities in the U.S., testing facilities in the Philippines and Thailand and sales and circuit design offices around the world. The major end-markets in which our products are sold are the Automotive, Communications and Data Center, Computing, Consumer and Industrial markets.

During fiscal year 2015, we commenced activities to close down the operations in our Hillsboro, Oregon testing site and consolidate such operations with our facility in Beaverton, Oregon, which were completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Also, we announced in July 2015 that we intended to close our wafer level packaging ("WLP") manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas in fiscal year 2017. On April 7, 2016, we entered into an agreement for the sale of its Dallas, Texas campus, including our WLP manufacturing facility, for approximately $34.5 million . We completed the sale of our Dallas, Texas campus, including our WLP manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. In connection with this sale agreement, we entered into a lease and facility sharing agreement to lease back portions of the Dallas, Texas campus. We intend to complete the transition of design, administration and manufacturing activities during fiscal year 2017 and discontinue our operations in the WLP manufacturing facility in Dallas, Texas by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.

On April 13, 2016, we entered into agreements for the sale of our micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) business line, including related assets and inventory, for approximately $42.2 million . We completed the sale of our micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) business line in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require us to make our most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, which impacts the recording of net revenues; valuation of inventories, which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts impairment of long-lived assets; assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, which impacts impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; accounting for income taxes, which impacts the income tax provision; and assessment of litigation and contingencies, which impacts charges recorded in cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and income taxes. These policies and the estimates and judgments involved are discussed further in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2016 . We have other significant accounting policies that either do not generally require estimates and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or it is less likely that such accounting policies would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.

There have been no material changes during the six months ended December 24, 2016 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2016 .

The following table shows stock-based compensation included in the components of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income reported above as a percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 24, 2016		December 26, 2015		December 24, 2016		December 26, 2015
Cost of goods sold	0.4	%	0.6	%	0.4	%	0.5	%

Selling, general and administrative	1.1	%	1.3	%	1.1	%	1.2	%
	3.3	%	3.7	%	3.1	%	3.3	%

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $551.0 million and $510.8 million for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively. This increase was primarily driven by an 18.1% growth in automotive products and a 16.3% growth in consumer products.

Net revenues were $1,112.4 million and $1,073.3 million for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively. This increase was primarily driven by a 29.7% growth in automotive products and a 10.2% growth in consumer products. This increase was offset by a decrease in industrial due to the divestiture of our energy metering business.

During the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , approximately 88% and 88% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from customers outside of the United States. While more than 98% of these sales are denominated in U.S. Dollars, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our revenue and results of operations for the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 was immaterial.

Sales to Samsung, our largest single end customer (through direct sales and distributors), accounted for approximately 14%, 15% and 20% of net revenues in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We expect sales to Samsung to account for smaller percentage of net revenues, but remain at or above 10% of our fiscal 2017 net revenues.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin percentages were 61.7% and 57.2% for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively. Our gross margin increased by 4.5% , primarily due to realization of benefits from our manufacturing transformation and increased utilization of our factory network.

Our gross margin percentages were 61.7% and 53.9% for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively. Our gross margin increased by 7.8% , primarily driven by higher accelerated depreciation in fiscal year 2016 relating to the San Jose wafer fabrication facility shutdown (4.0% improvement to margin). The remaining increase to gross margin was driven by improved factory utilization and cost reduction initiatives.

The below table presents the impact of accelerated depreciation expense on gross margin for all periods presented.



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	December 24, 2016			December 26, 2015			December 24, 2016			December 26, 2015

Impact percentage	(0.3		)%	(0.4		)%	(0.2		)%	(4.3		)%

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $114.1 million and $113.1 million for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 20.7% and 22.1% of net revenues for each respective period. The decrease as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to higher revenue and spending control efforts.

Research and development expenses were $226.8 million and $234.5 million for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 20.4% and 21.8% of net revenues for each respective period. The $7.7 million decrease was primarily due to spending control efforts.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $71.5 million and $73.6 million for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 13.0% and 14.4% of net revenues for each respective period. The $2.1 million decrease was primarily due to spending control efforts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $142.4 million and $145.6 million for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 12.8% and 13.6% of net revenues for each respective period. The $3.2 million decrease was primarily due to spending control efforts.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of long-lived assets were $0.4 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 0.1% and 0.4% of net revenues for each respective period. These amounts represent the normal evaluation of the recoverability of carrying amounts of assets and related write down to estimated fair value.

Impairment of long-lived assets were $6.5 million and $159.6 million for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 0.6% and 14.9% of net revenues for each respective period. The $153.1 million decrease was primarily due to classification of our wafer manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas as held for sale in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 and therefore written down to fair value, less cost to sell.

Severance and Restructuring Expenses

Severance and restructuring expenses were $0.9 million and $10.7 million for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 0.2% and 2.1% of net revenues for each respective period. The $9.8 million decrease was primarily due to the timing of reorganization of certain business units and functions and the planned closure of the Dallas wafer level packaging manufacturing facilities.

Severance and restructuring expenses were $10.8 million and $17.8 million for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 1.0% and 1.7% of net revenues for each respective period. The $7.0 million decrease was primarily due to the timing of reorganization of certain business units and functions and the planned closure of the Dallas wafer level packaging manufacturing facilities.

Other Operating Expenses (Income), net

Other operating expenses (income), net were $1.9 million and $(0.2) million during the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 0.3% and less than 0.1% of net revenues for each respective period. This net increase in other operating expense of $2.1 million was primarily due to a $3.8 million gain on the asset sale of our San Jose wafer fabrication facility during the three months ended December 26, 2015 .

Other operating expenses (income), net were $(26.6) million and $0.1 million during the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented (2.4)% and less than 0.1% of net revenues for each respective period. This net increase in other operating income of $26.5 million was primarily driven by the $26.6 million gain on the sale of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) business line during the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), net

Interest and other income (expense), net were $(0.6) million and $(9.6) million for the three months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 0.1% and 1.9% of net revenues for each respective period. The change in interest and other expense of $9.0 million was primarily driven by the realized gain of $5.0 million on available-for-sale securities as well as the impact from foreign currency exchange rates movements during the three months ended December 24, 2016 .

Interest and other income (expense), net were $(7.5) million and $(16.0) million for the six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , respectively, which represented 0.7% and 1.5% of net revenues for each respective period. The change in interest and other expense of $8.5 million was primarily driven by the realized gain of $5.0 million on available-for-sale securities as well as impact from foreign currency exchange rates movements during the six months ended December 24, 2016 .

Provision for Income Taxes

In the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 , we recorded an income tax provision of $18.0 million and $45.6 million , respectively, compared to $12.5 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended December 26, 2015 , respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 was 12.1% and 14.5% , respectively, compared to 15.6% and (109.9)% for the three and six months ended December 26, 2015 , respectively.

Our federal statutory tax rate is 35% . Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generated primarily by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates and a $5.1 million discrete benefit for differences between our fiscal year 2016 tax returns and the tax provision originally recorded, partially offset by stock-based compensation for which no tax benefit is expected and $3.7 million and $6.7 million of discrete interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits in the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 , respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended December 26, 2015 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generated primarily by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates and a $2.5 million discrete benefit for fiscal year 2015 research tax credits that were generated by the extension, retroactive to January 1, 2015, of the federal research tax credit by legislation that was signed into law on December 18, 2015, partially offset by stock-based compensation for which no tax benefit is expected.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended December 26, 2015 was higher than the statutory rate primarily because of $3.8 million of discrete interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits and a $1.0 million discrete charge for prior year unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by a $2.5 million discrete benefit for fiscal year 2015 research tax credits that were generated by the extension, retroactive to January 1, 2015, of the federal research tax credit by legislation that was signed into law on December 18, 2015.

BACKLOG

At December 24, 2016 , our current quarter backlog was approximately $388.1 million . In backlog, we include orders with customer request dates within the next three months. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, these orders may be cancelled in most cases without penalty to customers. In addition, backlog includes orders from domestic distributors for which revenues are not recognized until the products are sold by the distributors. Accordingly, we believe that our backlog is not a reliable measure of future revenues. All backlog numbers have been adjusted for estimated future distribution ship and debit pricing adjustments.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial Condition

Cash flows were as follows:



	Six Months Ended
	December 24, 2016			December 26, 2015
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	316,032		$	299,828
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	(212,972		)	(33,751		)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	(520,854		)	(168,524		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(417,794	)	$	97,553

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities.

Cash provided by operating activities was $316.0 million in the six months ended December 24, 2016 , an increase of $16.2 million compared with the six months ended December 26, 2015 . This increase was primarily driven by increases in net income as well as changes in our deferred tax balances of $41.7 million . This increase was partially offset by reductions in non-cash adjustments to net income of depreciation and amortization of $65.5 million resulting from higher accelerated depreciation in the six months ended December 26, 2015 , relating primarily to the San Jose wafer fabrication facility shut down which began in the second quarter of 2015 and was completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016.

Investing activities

Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures, net investment purchases and maturities and acquisitions.

Cash used in investing activities was $(213.0) million in the six months ended December 24, 2016 , an increase of $179.2 million compared with the six months ended December 26, 2015 . The increase was due primarily to an increase in purchases of U.S. treasury securities of $250.8 million . This increase was partially offset by $42.2 million in proceeds from the sale of our micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) business, $51.0 million of proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities related to the sale of our wafer manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas, and $25.0 million of proceeds from the maturity of U.S. treasury securities.

Financing activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of debt issuance and repayments, repurchases of common stock and payment of dividends to stockholders.

Cash used in financing activities was $(520.9) million in the six months ended December 24, 2016 , an increase of $352.3 million compared to the six months ended December 26, 2015 . The increase was due primarily to the repayment of our $250.0 million credit agreement, $56.1 million in additional repurchases of our common stock, $30.4 million less proceeds received from employee stock option exercises, and $16.1 million in additional dividends paid.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Long Term Debt Levels

On November 21, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.5% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes due on November 15, 2018 (“2018 Notes”).

On March 18, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.375% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes due on March 15, 2023 (“2023 Notes”).

The estimated fair value of outstanding debt is at $1,000 million and $1,027 million as of December 24, 2016 and June 25, 2016 , respectively.

Short Term Credit Agreement

On June 23, 2016, Maxim Holding Company Ltd., a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of the Company, entered into a short-term credit agreement in an amount equal to $250 million with a maturity date of June 22, 2017. On December 21, 2016, the $250 million aggregate principal amount of the loan was repaid.

The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to be generated from future operations, together with existing and available borrowing resources if needed, will be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures, research and development efforts, dividend payments, common stock repurchases, debt repayments and acquisitions for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of December 24, 2016 , the Company did not have any material off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate and foreign currency risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2016 .

The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company’s net revenues and on operating income during the three and six months ended December 24, 2016 and December 26, 2015 was not material.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and our chief financial officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of December 24, 2016 . Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 24, 2016 . The purpose of these controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 24, 2016 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

A system of internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance. The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect financial statement errors and misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On July 25, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s management.

As of December 24, 2016 , the Company had remaining authorization of $210.8 million for future share repurchases. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company’s common stock and general market and business conditions.
