CIRRUS LOGIC, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Cirrus Logic, Inc. (“Cirrus Logic,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not include complete footnotes and financial presentations. As a result, these financial statements should be read along with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 27, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on May 21, 2021. In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all material adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for those periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Moreover, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with no material impact to the financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321) - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with no material impact to the financial statements.

In May 2020, the SEC adopted final rules that amend the financial statement requirements for significant business acquisitions and dispositions. Among other things, the rules modify the significance tests and improve the disclosure requirements for acquired or to be acquired businesses and related pro forma financial information, the periods those financial statements must cover, and the form and content of the pro forma financial information. The final rules were effective January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the final rules and will incorporate applicable changes in conjunction with its recently-announced business acquisition described in Note 16 - Subsequent Events.

3. Marketable Securities

The Company’s investments have been classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Marketable securities are categorized on the consolidated condensed balance sheet as "Marketable securities", within the short-term or long-term classification, as appropriate.

The following table is a summary of available-for-sale securities at June 26, 2021 (in thousands):


As of June 26, 2021	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Estimated Fair Value (Net Carrying Amount)
Corporate debt securities	$	353,303	$	2,343	$	(315)	$	355,331
Non-U.S. government securities	12,945		121		(6)		13,060


Agency discount notes	3,757		1		(3)		3,755
Total securities	$	370,005	$	2,465	$	(324)	$	372,146

The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities with original maturities generally ranging from one to three years. The Company's specifically identified gross unrealized losses of $0.3 million related to securities with total amortized

costs of approximately $125.6 million at June 26, 2021. There were no securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 26, 2021. The Company may sell certain of its marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated or actual changes in credit rating and duration management. The Company records an allowance for credit loss when a decline in investment market value is due to credit-related factors. When evaluating an investment for impairment, the Company reviews factors including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, changes in market interest rates and whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. As of June 26, 2021, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be impaired.

The following table is a summary of available-for-sale securities at March 27, 2021 (in thousands):


As of March 27, 2021	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Estimated Fair Value (Net Carrying Amount)

Total	$	370,005	$	372,146	$	365,192	$	368,456

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has determined that the only material assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 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 assets or liabilities.

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio consist of money market funds, debt securities, non-U.S. government securities and securities of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and are reflected on our consolidated condensed balance sheets under the headings cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and long-term marketable

securities. The Company determines the fair value of its marketable securities portfolio by obtaining non-binding market prices from third-party pricing providers on the last day of the quarter, whose sources may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value.

The Company's long-term revolving credit facility, described in Note 8, bears interest at a base rate plus applicable margin or LIBOR plus applicable margin. As of June 26, 2021, there are no amounts drawn under the credit facility and the fair value is zero.

As of June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021, the Company has no material Level 3 assets or liabilities. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 measurements for the three months ended June 26, 2021.

The following summarizes the fair value of our financial instruments at June 26, 2021 (in thousands):

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The Company recognizes both the gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and the gains and losses on the remeasurement of non-functional currency assets and liabilities within "Other income (expense)" in the consolidated condensed statements of income. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these foreign currency derivative instruments.

As of June 26, 2021, the Company held one foreign currency forward contract denominated in British Pound Sterling with a notional value of $12.1 million. The fair value of this contract was not material as of June 26, 2021.

The before-tax effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended

8. Revolving Credit Facility

On July 12, 2016, Cirrus Logic entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party thereto, for the purpose of refinancing an existing credit facility and providing ongoing working capital. The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by all of Cirrus Logic’s material domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Cirrus Logic and any Subsidiary Guarantors, except for certain excluded assets.

Leverage Ratio) on the average daily unused portion of the commitment of the lenders. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants providing that (a) the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four fiscal quarters must not be greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Leverage Ratio”) and (b) the ratio of consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters to consolidated fixed charges (including amounts paid in cash for consolidated interest expenses, capital expenditures, scheduled principal payments of indebtedness, and income taxes) for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters must not be less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement also contains negative covenants limiting the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s ability to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make investments, effect certain fundamental changes, make certain asset dispositions, and make certain restricted payments.

As of June 26, 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

See Note 16 - Subsequent Events for details on second amended and restated credit agreement related to this Credit Facility.

9. Revenues

Disaggregation of revenue

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by product line and ship to location of the customer. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, we adjusted how we report product line revenue to better represent our business and strategic focus. Sales are designated in the product line categories of Audio and High-Performance Mixed-Signal.

Total net sales based on the product line disaggregation criteria described above are shown in the table below (in thousands). Prior periods were retrospectively adjusted to conform to the new product line categories.


	Three Months Ended
	June 26,		June 27,
	2021		2020
Audio Products	$	217,355	$	206,449
High-Performance Mixed-Signal Products	59,898		36,124
	$	277,253	$	242,573

The geographic regions that are reviewed are China, the United States, and the rest of the world. Total net sales based on the geographic disaggregation criteria described are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	June 26,		June 27,
	2021		2020
China	$	168,325	$	195,471
United States	6,019		4,076
Rest of World	102,909		43,026
	$	277,253	$	242,573

Performance obligations

The Company's single performance obligation is the delivery of promised goods to the customer. The promised goods are explicitly stated in the customer contract and are comprised of either a single type of good or a series of goods that are substantially the same, have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, and are neither capable of being distinct nor separable from the other promised goods in the contract. This performance obligation is satisfied upon transfer of control of the promised goods to the customer, as defined per the shipping terms within the customer's contract. The vast majority of the Company's contracts with customers have an original expected term length of one year or less. As allowed by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company has not disclosed the value of any unsatisfied performance obligations related to these contracts.

The Company’s products typically include a warranty period of one to three years. These warranties qualify as assurance-type warranties, as goods can be returned for product non-conformance and defect only. As such, these warranties are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees, and are not considered a separate performance obligation.

Contract balances

Payments are typically due within 30 to 60 days of invoicing and terms do not include significant financing components or noncash consideration. There have been no material impairment losses on accounts receivable. There are no material contract assets or contract liabilities recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Transaction price

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. Fixed pricing is the consideration that is agreed upon in the customer contract. Variable pricing includes rebates, rights of return, warranties, price protection and stock rotation. Rebates are granted as a customer account credit, based on agreed-upon sales thresholds. Rights of return and warranty costs are estimated using the "most likely amount" method by reviewing historical returns to determine the most likely customer return rate and applying materiality thresholds. Price protection includes price adjustments available to certain distributors based upon established book price and a stated adjustment period. Stock rotation is also available to certain distributors based on a stated maximum of prior billings.

The Company estimates all variable consideration at the most likely amount that it expects to be entitled to receive. The estimate is based on current and historical information, including recent sales activity and pricing, available to the Company. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company defers all variable consideration that does not meet the revenue recognition criteria.

10. Restructuring Costs

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “MEMS Restructuring”), including discontinuing efforts relating to the microelectromechanical systems ("MEMS") microphone product line, which allowed the Company to concentrate resources on projects with an anticipated larger return on investment. The MEMS Restructuring was substantially complete as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with a $0.4 million "Restructuring Costs" charge to the income statement. No additional restructuring charges have been incurred since the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.

11. Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is based on estimated effective tax rates derived from an estimate of annual consolidated earnings before taxes, adjusted for nondeductible expenses, other permanent items, and any applicable income tax credits.

The following table presents the provision for income taxes (in thousands) and the effective tax rates:


	Three Months Ended
	June 26,			June 27,
	2021			2020
Income before income taxes	$	19,622		$	20,362
Provision for income taxes	$	2,413		$	2,153
Effective tax rate	12.3		%	10.6		%

Our income tax expense was $2.4 million and $2.2 million for the first quarters of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 12.3% and 10.6% for the first quarters of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of income earned in certain foreign jurisdictions that is taxed below the federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of income earned in certain foreign jurisdictions that is taxed below the federal statutory rate and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

The Company records unrecognized tax benefits for the estimated risk associated with tax positions taken on tax returns. At June 26, 2021, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $32.9 million, all of which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Non-current income taxes" in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of June 26, 2021, the balance of accrued interest and penalties, net of tax, was $4.4 million.

On July 27, 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. et al. v. Commissioner which concluded that the regulations relating to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements were invalid. In 2016 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”). On July 24, 2018, the Ninth Circuit issued a decision that was subsequently withdrawn and a reconstituted panel conferred on the appeal. On June 7, 2019, the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision of the U.S. Tax Court and upheld the cost-sharing regulations. On February 10, 2020, Altera Corp. filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States, which was denied by the Supreme Court on June 22, 2020. Although the issue is now resolved in the Ninth Circuit, the Ninth Circuit's opinion is not binding in other circuits. The potential impact of this issue on the Company, which is not located within the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit, is unclear at this time. We will continue to monitor developments related to this issue and the potential impact of those developments on the Company's current and prior fiscal years.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2017 through 2021 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject, although carry forward attributes that were generated in tax years prior to fiscal year 2017 may be adjusted upon examination by the tax authorities if they have been, or will be, used in a future period. The Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 2019 are under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The Company believes it has accrued adequate reserves related to the matters under examination. The Company is not under an income tax audit in any other major taxing jurisdiction.

12. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted effect of common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the basic weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic net income per share calculation, plus the equivalent number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. These potentially dilutive items consist primarily of outstanding stock options and restricted stock grants.

The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended
	June 26,		June 27,
	2021		2020
Numerator:
Net income	$	17,209	$	18,209
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding	57,582		58,313
Effect of dilutive securities	1,931		1,967
Weighted average diluted shares	59,513		60,280
Basic earnings per share	$	0.30	$	0.31
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.29	$	0.30

The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 were 114 thousand and 240 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive.

13. Legal Matters

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities. We regularly evaluate the status of legal proceedings in which we are involved in order to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred, and to determine if accruals are appropriate. We further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made.

Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that there are any pending matters that could potentially have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we are engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business. There can be no assurances in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in any potential legal proceedings, some of which are beyond our control, and an adverse outcome in any legal proceeding could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

14. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The Company issued a net 0.1 million shares of common stock during each of the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plans.

Share Repurchase Program

In January 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200 million of the Company's common stock. During the three months ended June 26, 2021, the Company completed share repurchases under the 2019 plan. In January 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $350 million of the Company’s common stock. Approximately $2.5 million of the Company’s common stock has been repurchased under the Company’s 2021 share repurchase program, leaving approximately $347.5 million available for repurchase under this plan as of June 26, 2021. During the three months ended June 26, 2021, the Company repurchased 0.2 million shares of its common stock under these combined plans for $12.5 million, at an average cost of $75.19 per share.

15. Segment Information

We determine our operating segments in accordance with FASB guidelines. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) has been identified as the chief operating decision maker under these guidelines.

The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment, but reports revenue in two product lines, Audio and High-Performance Mixed-Signal. Our CEO receives and uses enterprise-wide financial information to assess financial performance and allocate resources, rather than detailed information at a product line level. Additionally, our product lines have similar characteristics and customers. They share support functions such as sales, public relations, supply chain management, various research and development and engineering support, in addition to the general and administrative functions of human resources, legal, finance and information technology. Therefore, there is no complete, discrete financial information maintained for these product lines. Revenue by product line is disclosed in Note 9 - Revenues.

16. Subsequent Events

Acquisition

On July 8, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Lion Semiconductor (the "Acquisition") for $335 million in cash. The Acquisition closed on July 20, 2021. The Acquisition is expected to bring unique intellectual property and products for power applications in smartphones, laptops and other devices and accelerate growth of the Company’s high-performance mixed-signal product line.

Second Amended Credit Agreement

Also on July 8, 2021, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party thereto. The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 8, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Revolving Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by all of Cirrus Logic’s Subsidiary Guarantors. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of Cirrus Logic and any Subsidiary Guarantors, except for certain excluded assets.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may, at Cirrus Logic’s election, bear interest at either (a) Base Rate Loans or (b) LIBOR Rate Loans. The Applicable Margin ranges from 0% to 0.75% per annum for Base Rate Loans and 1.00% to 1.75% per annum for LIBOR Rate Loans based on the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”). The Second Amended Credit Agreement further provides a method for determining an alternative rate of interest if the LIBOR Rate is no longer available or upon the occurrence of certain other events. A Commitment Fee accrues at a rate per annum ranging from 0.175% to 0.275% (based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) on the average daily unused portion of the Commitment of the Lenders.

The Second Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, reporting requirements, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the Second Amended Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants limiting the ability of Cirrus Logic or any Subsidiary to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make investments, effect certain fundamental changes, make certain asset dispositions, and make certain restricted payments. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants providing that (a) the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness (minus up to $200 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available on such date) to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters must not be greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio”) and (b) the ratio of consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters to consolidated interest expense paid or payable in cash for the prior four consecutive quarters must not be less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio”).

Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement (the “Commitment Agreement”) with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“GlobalFoundries”) to provide the Company a wafer capacity commitment and wafer pricing for Company products for calendar years 2022-2026 (the “Commitment Period”).

The Commitment Agreement requires GlobalFoundries to provide, and the Company to purchase, a defined number of wafers on a quarterly basis for the Commitment Period, subject to shortfall payments. In exchange for GlobalFoundries’ capacity commitment, the Company agreed to pay a $50 million non-refundable capacity reservation fee. In addition, the Company agreed to pre-pay GlobalFoundries $175 million for future wafer purchases, which will be credited back to the Company as a portion of the price of wafers purchased beginning in the third quarter of calendar year 2023.

The Company currently estimates that it is obligated to purchase at least approximately $1.6 billion of wafers from GlobalFoundries for calendar years 2022 to 2026 under the Commitment Agreement.

In addition, the Commitment Agreement provides the Company an option to reserve a specified portion of the capacity commitment for wafers that include certain additional technology beginning in calendar year 2023. If the Company exercises that option by August 31, 2021, then GlobalFoundries agrees to provide up to a maximum portion of the wafers pursuant to the capacity commitment with the additional technology. In exchange for the capacity commitment with the additional technology, the Company would pay an additional $10 million non-refundable fee and pre-pay an additional $20 million for future wafer purchases.

Overview

Cirrus Logic, Inc. (“Cirrus Logic,” “We,” “Us,” “Our,” or the “Company”) is a leader in low-power, high-precision mixed-signal processing solutions that create innovative user experiences for the world’s top mobile and consumer applications.

The Company recently announced the acquisition of Lion Semiconductor, a leading provider of proprietary fast-charging and power ICs, for $335 million in cash. We entered the transaction with the expectation that the Acquisition would accelerate growth of our high-performance mixed-signal product line in the coming years. See additional information in Note 16 - Subsequent Events of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors below.

Cirrus Logic has been experiencing demand significantly in excess of available capacity. While our teams have focused on working with our suppliers to meet as much demand as possible in the near term, we have also entered into a long-term Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement with GlobalFoundries, a foundry partner for many of our strategic products. This will expand our ability to address unprecedented market demand and provide customers with much-needed supply assurance. Given our anticipated strong cash generation, we believe this agreement is a good use of our financial resources: it secures supplier commitments to capacity expansion in support of our sales growth, alleviates some of the supply uncertainty currently affecting the Company and its customers, and ensures supplier investment in additional technologies for future products. We have agreed to $225 million in payments to GlobalFoundries in the short-term under this agreement. See additional information in Note 16 - Subsequent Events of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors below.

Impact of COVID-19

The Company remains committed to the safety and well-being of our employees, their families and our communities across the globe, while maintaining business continuity and continuing to provide outstanding support to our customers. At this time, the majority of our employees worldwide continue to work remotely and remain subject to travel restrictions, due to COVID-19. Despite these challenges, all teams across the organization remain highly productive and we currently anticipate that the Company will be able to continue to maintain a similar level of productivity for the foreseeable future. Although we have not experienced a significant reduction in our overall productivity through fiscal year 2022 to date, any increased or additional disruptions to our business operations due to these restrictions would likely impact our ability to continue to maintain current levels of productivity.

The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to continue to cause volatility and uncertainty in customer demand, worldwide economies and financial markets for some period of time. To date, any negative impact of COVID-19 on the overall demand for our products, cash flow from operations, need for capital expenditures, and our liquidity position has been limited, although we are addressing capacity constraints in our supply chain as described above. The Company has not accessed its Credit

Facility or raised capital in the public or private markets. Given our strong net cash position and available borrowings under our $300 million Revolving Credit Facility, we believe the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts. We evaluate the estimates on an on-going basis. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

During the three months ended June 26, 2021, there have been no significant changes to the information provided under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” included in our fiscal year 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday in March. Fiscal years 2022 and 2021 are both 52-week fiscal years.

The following table summarizes the results of our operations for the first three months of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a percentage of net sales. All percentage amounts were calculated using the underlying data in thousands, unaudited:


	Three Months Ended
	June 26,		June 27,
	2021		2020
Net sales	100	%	100	%
Gross margin	50	%	53	%
Research and development	31	%	33	%
Selling, general and administrative	12	%	12	%
Restructuring costs	—	%	—	%

Income from operations	7	%	8	%
Interest income	—	%	1	%
Interest expense	—	%	—	%
Other income (expense)	—	%	—	%
Income before income taxes	7	%	9	%
Provision for income taxes	1	%	1	%
Net income	6	%	8	%

Net Sales

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased $34.7 million, or 14 percent, to $277.3 million from $242.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Net sales from our audio products increased $10.9 million, primarily driven by higher smartphone volumes in Android and an uptick in sales in laptops, which was offset somewhat by headwinds in wired headset codecs. High-performance mixed-signal product sales increased $23.8 million for the quarter versus the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, primarily due to content gains in smartphones.

International sales, including sales to U.S.-based end customers that manufacture products through contract manufacturers or plants located overseas, were approximately 98 percent of net sales for each of the first quarters of fiscal years 2022 and 2021. Our sales are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars.

Since the components we produce are largely proprietary, we consider our end customer to be the entity specifying the use of our component in their design. These end customers may purchase our products directly from us, through distributors or third-party manufacturers contracted to produce their designs. For the first quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, our ten largest end customers represented approximately 90 percent and 91 percent of our net sales, respectively.

We had one end customer, Apple Inc., that purchased through multiple contract manufacturers and represented approximately 72 percent and 83 percent, of the Company’s total net sales for the first quarters of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively.

No other end customer or distributor represented more than 10 percent of net sales for the three months ended June 26, 2021 or June 27, 2020.

For more information, please see Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors— “We depend on a limited number of customers and distributors for a substantial portion of our sales, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from, or pricing on products sold to, any key customer or distributor could significantly reduce our sales and our profitability.”

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 50.5 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, down from 52.6 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by typical pricing reductions in excess of cost savings on certain components, a shift in product mix, and to a lesser extent, higher supply chain costs. We believe continued supply constraints and increased costs beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 will likely take us slightly below our long-term gross margin model of 50 percent in fiscal year 2023.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $85.7 million, an increase of $7.0 million, from $78.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The primary drivers were increased employee-related expenses, variable compensation and product development costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $35.1 million, an increase of $5.4 million, from $29.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 primarily due to increases in employee-related expenses and variable compensation costs.

Restructuring Costs

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company approved the MEMS Restructuring, including discontinuing efforts relating to the MEMS microphone product line. The Company recorded charges of approximately $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which included equipment disposal costs and other nonrecurring costs. See Note 10 - Restructuring Costs for additional details.

Interest Income

The Company reported interest income of $1.0 million and $1.8 million, for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Interest income decreased in the current period due to lower yields on average cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities balances, compared to the prior period.

Interest Expense

The Company reported interest expense of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Interest expense consists primarily of commitment fees associated with the Company's Credit Facility (see Note 8).

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the Company reported $0.2 million in other expense and $0.1 million in other income, respectively, primarily related to remeasurement on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for income taxes (in thousands) and the effective tax rates:


	Three Months Ended
	June 26,			June 27,
	2021			2020
Income before income taxes	$	19,622		$	20,362
Provision for income taxes	$	2,413		$	2,153
Effective tax rate	12.3		%	10.6		%

Our income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $2.4 million compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, resulting in effective tax rates of 12.3% and 10.6% for the first quarters of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of income earned in certain foreign jurisdictions that is taxed below the federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of income earned in certain foreign jurisdictions that is taxed below the federal statutory rate and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for inventory, capital expenditures, share repurchases, and strategic acquisitions. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations, cash generated from the sale and maturity of marketable securities, and available borrowings under our $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility.

Cash used in or generated by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in working capital. Cash used in operations was $26.8 million for the first three months of fiscal year 2022 versus $0.5 million generated for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2021. The cash flow used in operations during the first three months of fiscal year 2022 was related to the cash components of our net income and a $61.7 million unfavorable change in working capital, primarily as a result of increases in accounts receivables and inventories, as well as decreases in accounts payable. The cash flow from operations during the corresponding period of fiscal year 2021 was related to the cash components of our net income and a $43.9 million unfavorable change in working capital, primarily as a result of increases in inventories, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $16.7 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2022 versus $9.2 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2021. The cash used in investing activities in the first three months of fiscal year 2022 is related to net purchases of marketable securities of $4.8 million and capital expenditures and technology investments of $11.9 million. The cash used in investing activities in the corresponding period in fiscal year 2021 was related to net purchases of marketable securities of $7.1 million and capital expenditures and technology investments of $2.1 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $13.5 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2022 and was primarily associated with stock repurchases for the period of $12.5 million. The cash generated by financing activities during the first three months of fiscal year 2021 of $2.5 million was primarily associated with the issuance of common stock under Company stock-based compensation plans.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of sales growth, market acceptance of our products, the timing and extent of research and development projects, the Lion Semiconductor acquisition (discussed

further in Note 16 - Subsequent Events of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors below) and potential future acquisitions of companies or technologies, commitments under the Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement with GlobalFoundries (discussed further in Note 16 - Subsequent Events of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors below), and the expansion of our sales and marketing activities. We believe our expected future cash earnings, existing cash, cash equivalents, investment balances, and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements through at least the next 12 months, although we could be required, or could elect, to seek additional funding prior to that time.

Revolving Credit Facility

Borrowings under the Credit Facility may, at our election, bear interest at either (a) a base rate plus the applicable margin (“Base Rate Loans”) or (b) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin (“LIBOR Rate Loans”). The applicable margin ranges from 0% to 0.50% per annum for Base Rate Loans and 1.25% to 2.00% per annum for LIBOR Rate Loans based on the Leverage Ratio (as defined below). A commitment fee accrues at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% (based on the Leverage Ratio) on the average daily unused portion of the commitment of the lenders. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants providing that (a) the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four fiscal quarters must not be greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Leverage Ratio”) and (b) the ratio of consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters to consolidated fixed charges (including amounts paid in cash for consolidated interest expenses, capital expenditures, scheduled principal payments of indebtedness, and income taxes) for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters must not be less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement also contains negative covenants limiting the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s ability to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make investments, effect certain fundamental changes, make certain asset dispositions, and make certain restricted payments.

As of June 26, 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

See Note 16 - Subsequent Events of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for details on the Second Amended Credit Agreement related to the Revolving Credit Facility.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks associated with interest rates on our debt securities, currency movements on non-functional currency assets and liabilities, and the effect of market factors on the value of our marketable securities. We assess these risks on a regular basis and have established policies that are designed to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures. We use forward contracts to manage exposure to foreign currency exchange risk attributable to certain non-U.S. dollar balance sheet exposures. Gains and losses from these foreign currency forward contracts are recognized currently in earnings along with the gains and losses resulting from remeasuring the underlying exposures. For further description of our market risks, see “Part II – Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our fiscal year 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on May 21, 2021. For related financial statement impact see Note 5 - Derivative Financial Instruments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the

Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon the evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 26, 2021.

Changes in control over financial reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 26, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information regarding legal proceedings to which the Company is a party is set forth in Note 13 – Legal Matters to our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In evaluating all forward-looking statements, you should specifically consider risk factors that may cause actual results to vary from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Various risk factors associated with our business are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 27, 2021, as filed with the Commission on May 21, 2021, and available at www.sec.gov. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to those risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021.

We depend on a limited number of customers and distributors for a substantial portion of our sales, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from, or pricing on products sold to, any key customer or distributor could significantly reduce our sales and our profitability.

While we generate sales from a broad base of customers worldwide, the loss of any of our key customers, or a significant reduction in sales or selling prices to any key customer, or reductions in selling prices made to retain key customer relationships, would significantly reduce our revenue, margins and earnings and adversely affect our business. For the first quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, our ten largest end customers represented approximately 90 percent and 91 percent of our net sales, respectively. We had one end customer, Apple Inc., that purchased through multiple contract manufacturers and represented approximately 72 percent and 83 percent of the Company’s total net sales for the first quarter of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively. No other end customer or distributor represented more than 10 percent of net sales for the three months ended June 26, 2021, or June 27, 2020.

We may not be able to maintain or increase sales to certain of our key customers for a variety of reasons, including the following:

•most of our customers can stop incorporating our products into their own products with limited notice to us and suffer little or no penalty;

•our agreements with our customers typically do not require them to purchase a minimum quantity of our products;

•many of our customers have pre-existing or concurrent relationships with our current or potential competitors that may affect the customers’ decisions to purchase our products;

•many of our customers have sufficient resources to internally develop technology solutions and semiconductor components that could replace the products that we currently supply in our customers' end products;

•our customers face intense competition from other manufacturers that do not use our products; and

•our customers regularly evaluate alternative sources of supply in order to diversify their supplier base, which increases their negotiating leverage with us and their ability to obtain components from alternative sources.

In addition, our dependence on a limited number of key customers may make it easier for key customers to pressure us to reduce the prices of the products we sell to them. We have experienced pricing pressure from certain key customers, and we expect that the average selling prices for certain of our products will decline, reducing our revenue, our margins, and our earnings.

Our key customer relationships often require us to develop new products that may involve significant technological challenges. Our customers frequently place considerable pressure on us to meet their tight development schedules. In addition, we may from time to time enter into customer agreements providing for exclusivity periods during which we may only sell specified products or technologies to that customer. Even without exclusivity periods, the products that we develop are often specific to our customer's system architecture and frequently cannot be sold to other customers. Accordingly, we may have to devote a substantial amount of resources to strategic relationships, which could detract from or delay our completion of other important development projects or the development of next generation products and technologies.

Moreover, our reliance on certain customers may continue to increase, which could heighten the risks associated with having key customers, including making us more vulnerable to significant reductions in revenue, margins and earnings, pricing pressure, and other adverse effects on our business.

We have a long-term capacity reservation and wafer supply agreement with GlobalFoundries, which includes obligations to purchase wafers from GlobalFoundries through calendar year 2026. If our requirements are different from the number of wafers that we have committed to purchase from GlobalFoundries, or if GlobalFoundries is not able to satisfy our manufacturing requirements, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Due to recent industry-wide capacity constraints, and in an effort to alleviate some of our future expected supply constraints, the Company entered into a Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement with GlobalFoundries on July 28, 2021. In exchange for GlobalFoundries’ capacity commitment, the Company agreed to pay a $50 million non-refundable capacity reservation fee. In addition, the Company agreed to pre-pay GlobalFoundries $175 million for future wafer purchases, which will be credited back to the Company as a portion of the price of wafers purchased beginning in the third quarter of calendar year 2023. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company expects to purchase at least $1.6 billion in wafers for calendar years 2022 through 2026. The agreement further sets wafer pricing for products purchased pursuant to the agreement through 2026. Although we believe this agreement is a good use of our financial resources and secures capacity for certain products through 2026, the agreement with GlobalFoundries involves certain risks that may result in excess inventory, place us at a competitive disadvantage, have a negative impact on our liquidity, or materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is required to purchase, and GlobalFoundries is required to supply, a certain number of wafers on a quarterly basis. If our actual wafer requirements are less than the number of wafers required to meet the applicable wafer purchase requirements, we could have excess inventory or higher inventory unit costs, both of which may adversely impact our gross margin and our results of operations.

Additionally, the agreement sets forth pricing for wafer purchases pursuant to the agreement through 2026. If market conditions change and wafer prices in the market decrease significantly below what is contemplated in the agreement, the agreement may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors.

Even with a long-term supply agreement, we are still subject to risks that GlobalFoundries will be unable to meet their supply commitments, achieve anticipated manufacturing yields, manufacture our products on a timely basis, or provide additional wafer capacity beyond its current contractual commitments sufficient to meet our customers' product demands. If so, we may experience delays in product launches or supply shortages for certain products, which could cause an unanticipated decline in our sales and damage our existing customer relationships and our ability to establish new customer relationships. In addition, if GlobalFoundries experiences financial difficulties or goes into bankruptcy, it could be difficult or impossible, or may require substantial time and expense, for us to recover any or all of our prepayments made as part of the agreement.

Any of the foregoing could materially harm our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and could put us at a disadvantage relative to our competitors.

Our acquisition of Lion Semiconductor involves several risks, including, among others, integration risks, risks associated with our ability to retain key employees following the acquisition, and risks associated with our ability to achieve anticipated revenue goals. If the Company fails to manage these risks effectively, the financial and business results of the Company could be adversely affected.

On July 20, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Lion Semiconductor, Inc. In connection with the transaction, Lion Semiconductor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We entered the transaction with the expectation that the acquisition would accelerate growth of our high-performance mixed-signal product line and contribute approximately $60 million in revenue before the end of fiscal year 2022, with strong growth potential in the coming years.

The benefits we expect to realize from the acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to integrate the businesses successfully and efficiently, and our ability to retain, motivate and support key management, engineering, technical and other personnel. These expected benefits may be further impacted by supply constraints, customer order cancellations or the failure of customers to place orders consistent with current forecasts for Lion Semiconductor’s fast-charging IC products. In addition, a significant portion of our revenue expectations for strong revenue in the coming years depends on products currently under development, which are subject to product development risks associated with the successful completion, testing, and commercial launch of these new products.

If we fail to manage these risks effectively, the financial and business results of the Company could be adversely affected.

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

The following table provides information about purchases of equity securities that are registered by us pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act during the three months ended June 26, 2021 (in thousands, except per share amounts):


Monthly Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximately Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1)
March 28, 2021 - April 24, 2021	—	$	—	—	$	360,015
April 25, 2021 - May 22, 2021	166	75.19		166	347,514
May 23, 2021 - June 26, 2021	—	—		—	347,514
Total	166	$	75.19	166	$	347,514

(1) The Company currently has one active share repurchase program, the $350 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in January 2021. The repurchases are to be funded from existing cash and intended to be effected from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of the repurchases and the actual amount purchased depend on a variety of factors including general market and economic conditions and other corporate considerations. The program does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. The Company repurchased 0.2 million shares of its common stock for $12.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, closing out the previous $200 million 2019 share repurchase program and beginning repurchases under the 2021 repurchase program. All of these shares were repurchased in the open market and were funded from existing cash. All shares of our common stock that were repurchased were retired as of June 26, 2021.
