NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Skyworks Solutions, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Skyworks” or the “Company”), is empowering the wireless networking revolution. The Company’s analog semiconductors are connecting people, places, and things, spanning a number of new applications within the aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, entertainment and gaming, industrial, medical, military, smartphone, tablet, and wearable markets.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, in management’s opinion, the financial information reflects all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the Company during the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020, filed with the SEC on November 17, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to such Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 29, 2021 (“2020 10-K”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, comprehensive income, and accumulated other comprehensive loss that are reported in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Judgment is required in determining the reserves for, and fair value of, items such as overall fair value assessments of assets and liabilities, particularly those classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, marketable securities, inventory, intangible assets associated with business combinations, share-based compensation, loss contingencies, and income taxes. In addition, judgment is required in determining whether a potential indicator of impairment of long-lived assets exists and in estimating future cash flows for any necessary impairment testing. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to September 30. Fiscal 2021 consists of 52 weeks and ends on October 1, 2021. Fiscal 2020 consisted of 53 weeks and ended on October 2, 2020. The three and six months ended April 2, 2021, and March 27, 2020, each consisted of 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company presents net revenue by geographic area based upon the location of the original equipment manufacturers’ (“OEMs”) headquarters as it believes that doing so best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Net revenue by geographic area is as follows (in millions):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| April 2, 2021 |  | March 27, 2020 |  | April 2, 2021 |  | March 27, 2020
United States | $ | 635.0 |  |  | $ | 415.4 |  |  | $ | 1,736.6 |  |  | $ | 1,005.8 |
China | 285.1 |  |  | 178.0 |  |  | 497.7 |  |  | 346.4 |
Taiwan | 132.6 |  |  | 59.1 |  |  | 220.1 |  |  | 101.0 |
South Korea | 66.4 |  |  | 73.9 |  |  | 134.3 |  |  | 133.0 |
Europe, Middle East, and Africa | 45.4 |  |  | 32.7 |  |  | 79.2 |  |  | 63.0 |
Other Asia-Pacific | 7.3 |  |  | 7.0 |  |  | 13.9 |  |  | 13.0 |
Total | $ | 1,171.8 |  |  | $ | 766.1 |  |  | $ | 2,681.8 |  |  | $ | 1,662.2 |

The Company’s revenue from external customers is generated principally from the sale of semiconductor products that facilitate various wireless communication applications. Accordingly, the Company considers its product offerings to be similar in nature and therefore not segregated for reporting purposes.

4. FAIR VALUE
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less-active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data.
•Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by the Company.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following (in millions):

| As of April 2, 2021 |  | As of October 2, 2020

8. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of the following components (in millions):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| April 2, 2021 |  | March 27, 2020 |  | April 2, 2021 |  | March 27, 2020
United States income taxes | $ | 36.4 |  |  | $ | 11.8 |  |  | $ | 77.4 |  |  | $ | 23.3 |
Foreign income taxes | 14.1 |  |  | 10.1 |  |  | 34.6 |  |  | 20.3 |
Provision for income taxes | $ | 50.5 |  |  | $ | 21.9 |  |  | $ | 112.0 |  |  | $ | 43.6 |
Effective tax rate | 13.4 | % |  | 10.8 | % |  | 11.8 | % |  | 9.0 | %

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% United States federal statutory rate for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021 and March 27, 2020, respectively, resulted primarily from foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate, a benefit from foreign-derived intangible income deduction (“FDII”), windfall tax deductions, and research and experimentation and foreign tax credits earned, partially offset by a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), and tax expense related to a change in the reserve for uncertain tax positions.
The Company operates under a tax holiday in Singapore, which is effective through September 30, 2030. The current tax holiday is conditioned upon the Company’s compliance with certain employment and investment thresholds in Singapore.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
From time to time, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been, and may in the future be, instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement, intellectual property, environmental hazards, product liability and warranty, safety and health, employment, and contractual matters.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to the Company’s business and have demanded and may in the future demand that the Company license their technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some such lawsuits, claims, or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally speaking, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. From time to time the Company may also be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business.
The Company monitors the status of legal proceedings and other contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure loss contingencies are recognized and/or disclosed in its financial statements and footnotes. The Company does not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that are reasonably possible to result in a material loss. The Company is engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business and, while there can be no assurances, the Company believes the outcome of all pending litigation involving the Company will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business or financial statements.

Guarantees and Indemnities
The Company has made no significant contractual guarantees for the benefit of third parties. However, the Company generally indemnifies its customers from third-party intellectual property infringement litigation claims related to its products and, on occasion, also provides other indemnities related to product sales. In connection with certain facility leases, the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the facility or the lease.
The Company indemnifies its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. The duration of the indemnities varies and in many cases is indefinite. The indemnities to customers in connection with product sales generally are subject to limits based upon the amount of the related product sales and in many cases are subject to geographic and other restrictions. In certain instances, the Company’s indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and does not expect that such obligations will have a material adverse impact on its financial statements.
10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Program
On January 26, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock from time to time prior to January 26, 2023, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. This authorized stock repurchase plan replaces in its entirety the January 30, 2019, stock repurchase program. The timing and amount of any shares of the Company’s common stock that are repurchased under the repurchase program will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
During the three months ended April 2, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. During the six months ended April 2, 2021, the Company paid $195.6 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 1.4 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $138.85 per share), all of which shares were repurchased pursuant to the January 30, 2019, stock repurchase program. As of April 2, 2021, $2.0 billion remained available under the January 26, 2021, stock repurchase program.
During the three months ended March 27, 2020, the Company paid $283.8 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 3.2 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $87.61 per share). During the six months ended March 27, 2020, the Company paid $358.0 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 4.0 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $89.92 per share).
Dividends
On April 29, 2021, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.50 per share. This dividend is payable on June 8, 2021, to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2021.
Dividends charged to retained earnings were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

| 2021 |  | 2020
| Per Share |  | Total Amount |  | Per Share |  | Total Amount
First quarter | $ | 0.50 |  |  | $ | 83.0 |  |  | $ | 0.44 |  |  | $ | 75.1 |

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except per share amounts):

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| April 2, 2021 |  | March 27, 2020 |  | April 2, 2021 |  | March 27, 2020
Net income | $ | 325.0 |  |  | $ | 181.1 |  |  | $ | 834.3 |  |  | $ | 438.1 |
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic | 165.0 |  |  | 170.0 |  |  | 165.2 |  |  | 170.1 |
Dilutive effect of equity-based awards | 1.8 |  |  | 1.1 |  |  | 1.7 |  |  | 1.2 |
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted | 166.8 |  |  | 171.1 |  |  | 166.9 |  |  | 171.3 |
Net income per share – basic | $ | 1.97 |  |  | $ | 1.07 |  |  | $ | 5.05 |  |  | $ | 2.58 |
Net income per share – diluted | $ | 1.95 |  |  | $ | 1.06 |  |  | $ | 5.00 |  |  | $ | 2.56 |
Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents | — |  | 0.5 |  | — |  | 1.5

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of equity-based awards that were outstanding during the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, and March 27, 2020, using the treasury stock method. Shares issuable upon the vesting of performance stock awards are likewise included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as of the date the condition(s) have been satisfied, assuming the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period. Certain of the Company’s outstanding share-based awards, noted in the table above, were excluded because they were anti-dilutive, but they could become dilutive in the future.
12. SUPPLEMENTAL BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION

Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic downturn are affecting business conditions in our industry. The duration, severity, and future impact of the pandemic continue to be highly uncertain and could still result in significant disruptions to our business operations, including our supply chain, as well as negative impacts to our financial condition. A renewed suspension of our operations in Mexicali, Mexico, similar to what we experienced in April 2020, or a continued reduction in our production capacity due to employee quarantines, employee absenteeism, and restrictions on certain of our employees’ ability to work, would negatively impact our future operating results.

OVERVIEW
We, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, are empowering the wireless networking revolution. Our highly innovative analog semiconductors are connecting people, places, and things spanning a number of new and previously unimagined applications within the aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, entertainment and gaming, industrial, medical, military, smartphone, tablet, and wearable markets.
General
During the six months ended April 2, 2021, the following key factors contributed to our overall results of operations, financial position, and cash flows:
•Net revenue increased by 61.3% to $2,681.8 million for the six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2020. This increase in revenue was driven primarily by an increase in overall demand for wireless connectivity products coupled with the onset of technology upgrade cycles, including for 5G and Wi-Fi 6 solutions. Additionally, our average content per device for these next-generation solutions increased.
•Our ending cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance increased 45.3% to $1,423.6 million as of April 2, 2021, from $980.0 million as of October 2, 2020. This increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the six months ended April 2, 2021, was primarily the result of cash generated from operations of $1,100.8 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $259.8 million, the repurchase of 1.4 million shares of common stock for $195.6 million, and dividend payments of $165.6 million.

We market and sell our products directly to OEMs of communications and electronics products, third-party original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers, and indirectly through electronic components distributors. We generally experience seasonal peaks during our fourth and first fiscal quarters (which correspond to the second half of the calendar year), primarily as a
15

result of increased worldwide production of consumer electronics in anticipation of increased holiday sales, whereas our second and third fiscal quarters are typically lower and in line with seasonal industry trends.
The increase in net revenue for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2020, was driven primarily by an increase in overall demand for wireless connectivity products coupled with the onset of technology upgrade cycles, including for 5G and Wi-Fi 6 solutions. Additionally, our average content per device for these next-generation solutions increased.
Gross Profit

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| April 2, 2021 | Change | March 27, 2020 |  | April 2, 2021 | Change | March 27, 2020

Gross profit | $ | 578.4 |  | 54.0% | $ | 375.6 |  |  | $ | 1,340.1 |  | 63.4% | $ | 819.9 |
% of net revenue | 49.4 | % |  | 49.0 | % |  | 50.0 | % |  | 49.3 | %

Gross profit represents net revenue less cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of purchased materials, labor, and overhead (including depreciation and share-based compensation expense) associated with product manufacturing. Erosion of average selling prices of established products is typical of the semiconductor industry. As part of our normal course of business, we mitigate the gross margin impact of declining average selling prices with efforts to increase unit volumes, reduce material costs, improve manufacturing efficiencies, lower manufacturing costs of existing products, and by introducing new and higher value-added products.
The increase in gross profit for the three months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2020, was primarily the result of a favorable product mix and higher unit volumes with a gross profit impact of $220.8 million, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Gross profit margin increased to 49.4% of net revenue for the three months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with 49.0% in the corresponding period in fiscal 2020.
The increase in gross profit for the six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2020, was primarily the result of a favorable product mix and higher unit volumes with a gross profit impact of $562.5 million, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Gross profit margin increased to 50.0% of net revenue for the six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with 49.3% in the corresponding period in fiscal 2020.

% of net revenue | 11.2 | % |  | 14.8 | % |  | 9.4 | % |  | 13.3 | %

Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct personnel costs including share-based compensation expense, costs for pre-production evaluation and testing of new devices, masks, engineering prototypes, and design tool costs.
The increase in research and development expenses for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2020, was primarily related to headcount-related expenses as a result of our increased investment in developing new technologies and products.

The decrease in amortization expense for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2020, was primarily due to the end of the useful lives of certain intangible assets that were acquired in prior fiscal years.
Provision for Income Taxes

% of net revenue | 4.3 | % |  | 2.9 | % |  | 4.2 | % |  | 2.6 | %

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $50.5 million (which consisted of $36.4 million and $14.1 million related to United States and foreign income taxes, respectively) and $112.0 million (which consisted of $77.4 million and $34.6 million related to United States and foreign income taxes, respectively) for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, respectively.
The increase in income tax expense for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2020, was primarily due to increased income from operations, a reduction in the relative amount of benefits related to foreign income taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate, and a reduction in the relative amount of windfall tax deductions as compared to income from operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities:
Cash provided by operating activities consists of net income for the period adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain operating assets and liabilities. The $422.0 million increase in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2020, was primarily related to a $396.2 million increase in net income.

Cash used in investing activities:
Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of capital expenditures and cash paid related to the purchase of marketable securities, offset by cash received related to the sale or maturity of marketable securities. The $78.4 million increase in cash used in investing activities during the six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2020, was primarily related to an $87.9 million increase in cash used for capital expenditures, partially offset by a $15.2 million increase in the net sale of marketable securities.
Cash used in financing activities:
Cash used in financing activities consists primarily of cash transactions related to equity. The $88.5 million decrease in cash used in financing activities during the six months ended April 2, 2021, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2020, was related to a decrease of $162.4 million in stock repurchase activity, a decrease of $36.2 million in net proceeds from employee stock option exercises, partially offset by an increase of $22.6 million related to the minimum statutory payroll tax withholdings upon vesting of employee performance and restricted stock awards, and an increase of $15.6 million in dividend payments.
Liquidity:
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $1,423.6 million as of April 2, 2021, representing an increase of $443.6 million from October 2, 2020. The increase resulted primarily from $1,100.8 million in cash generated from operations, partially offset by $195.6 million used to repurchase 1.4 million shares of stock, $259.8 million in capital expenditures, and $165.6 million in cash dividend payments. Based on our historical results of operations, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand and the cash we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to fund our research and development, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, working capital, quarterly cash dividend payments (if such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors), outstanding commitments, and other liquidity requirements associated with existing operations for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot be certain that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be available in the future to fund all of our capital and operating requirements. In addition, any future strategic investments and significant acquisitions may require additional cash and capital resources. If we are unable to obtain sufficient cash or capital to meet our needs on a timely basis and on favorable terms, our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our invested cash balances primarily consist of highly liquid marketable securities that are available to meet near-term cash requirements including: term deposits, certificates of deposits, money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, agency securities, corporate debt securities and commercial paper.

Our contractual obligations disclosure in the 2020 10-K has not materially changed since we filed that report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to overall financial market risks, such as changes in market liquidity, credit quality, investment risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk as described below.
Investment and Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate and general market risks relates principally to our investment portfolio, which consists of cash and cash equivalents (money market funds and marketable securities purchased with less than ninety days until maturity) that total approximately $1,059.9 million and marketable securities (U.S. Treasury and government securities, corporate bonds and notes, municipal bonds) that total approximately $359.7 million and $4.0 million within short-term and long-term marketable securities, respectively, as of April 2, 2021.
The main objectives of our investment activities are liquidity and preservation of capital. Our cash equivalent investments have short-term maturity periods that dampen the impact of market or interest rate risk. Our marketable securities consist of short-term and long-term maturity periods between 90 days and two years. Credit risk associated with our investments is not material because our investments are diversified across several types of securities with high credit ratings, which reduces the amount of credit exposure to any one investment.
Based on our results of operations for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, a hypothetical reduction in the interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents, and other investments to zero would result in an immaterial reduction of interest income with a de minimis impact on income before taxes.
Given the low interest rate environment, the objectives of our investment activities, and the relatively low interest income generated from our cash, cash equivalents, and other investments, we do not believe that investment or interest rate risks currently pose material exposures to our business or results of operations.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
Substantially all sales to customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for pricing and payment in United States dollars, thereby reducing the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our results. A percentage of our international operational expenses are denominated in foreign currencies and exchange rate volatility could positively or negatively impact those operating costs. Increases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Given the relatively small number of customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers denominated in foreign currencies, we do not believe that foreign exchange volatility has a material impact on our current business or results of operations. However, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a greater effect on our business or results of operations in the future to the extent our expenses increasingly become denominated in foreign currencies.
We may enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts with financial institutions to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, certain firmly committed transactions, forecasted future cash flows, and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. However, we may choose not to hedge certain foreign exchange exposures for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. For the three months ended April 2, 2021, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward or option contracts with financial institutions.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 2, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can

provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 2, 2021, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There are no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been, and may in the future be, instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement, intellectual property, environmental hazards, product liability and warranty, safety and health, employment, and contractual matters.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to the Company’s business and have demanded and may in the future demand that the Company license their technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some such lawsuits, claims, or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally speaking, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. From time to time the Company may also be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business.
The Company monitors the status of legal proceedings and other contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure loss contingencies are recognized and/or disclosed in its financial statements and footnotes. The Company does not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that are reasonably possible to result in a material loss. The Company is engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business and, while there can be no assurances, the Company believes the outcome of all pending litigation involving the Company will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business or financial statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in the 2020 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2020 10-K.
Risks Related to the Acquisition of the Infrastructure and Automotive Business of Silicon Labs
Completion of the acquisition of the Infrastructure and Automotive business of Silicon Labs is subject to various conditions, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the acquisition will not be completed. Even if the acquisition is completed, achieving the anticipated benefits of the acquisition is subject to a number of uncertainties.
On April 22, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Silicon Labs pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire certain assets, rights, and properties, and assume certain liabilities, comprising Silicon Labs’ Infrastructure and Automotive business (the “Acquisition”). The parties’ obligations to complete the Acquisition are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among other things, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing of the Acquisition will be satisfied or waived or that the Acquisition will be completed.
The failure of either party to satisfy all of the required conditions could delay the completion of the Acquisition for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the Acquisition could cause us to not realize some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the Acquisition is successfully completed within the timeframe that we currently expect. Additionally, we will have incurred substantial expenses and diverted significant management time and resources from our ongoing business.
Moreover, even if the Acquisition is completed, achieving the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition is subject to a number of uncertainties, including the Company’s ability to successfully integrate the assets acquired and employees transferred in connection with the Acquisition. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition in the expected timeframe or at all could result in increased costs and diversion of management’s time and energy and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We will incur significant indebtedness in connection with the Acquisition, which could reduce our flexibility to operate our business.
In connection with the planned Acquisition, the Company has entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated as of April 22, 2021, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), pursuant to which, among other things, JPMorgan has committed to provide the Company with a debt financing bridge commitment of up to $2.5 billion in order to finance the Acquisition. The Company and JPMorgan will also endeavor to finalize long-term financing facilities currently anticipated to consist of (x) a term loan facility of up to $1.5 billion (the “Term Loan”), (y) senior unsecured notes of up to $1.0 billion (the “Notes”), and (z) a revolving loan facility of $750 million with a five-year maturity (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
This indebtedness could have the effect, among other things, of reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions. We will also incur various costs and expenses associated with our indebtedness. Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness when due depends upon our future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles, and financial, business, and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. The incurrence of any additional indebtedness in connection with completion of the Acquisition could reduce funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes and may create competitive disadvantages relative to other companies with lower debt levels. Further, if we do not achieve the anticipated benefits from the Acquisition, our ability to service our indebtedness may be adversely impacted. Even if we achieve the anticipated benefits from the Acquisition, we may be required to raise substantial additional financing to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes. Our ability to arrange additional financing and make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness will depend on our future performance, which will be subject to general economic, financial, and business conditions as well as other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control.
In addition, our credit ratings affect the cost and availability of future borrowings and, accordingly, our cost of capital. Our ratings reflect each rating organization’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance, and ability to meet our debt obligations. In connection with the debt financing, it is anticipated that we will seek ratings of our indebtedness from one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance that we will achieve a particular rating or maintain a particular rating in the future. An inability to obtain or maintain a rating could increase the cost of future borrowings or refinancings of our indebtedness, limit our access to sources of financing in the future, or lead to other potentially adverse consequences.
The agreements that will govern the indebtedness to be incurred in connection with the Acquisition may contain various covenants that impose restrictions that may affect our ability to operate our businesses.
The agreements that will govern the Term Loan, the Notes, and the Revolving Credit Facility to be incurred in connection with the Acquisition may contain various affirmative and negative covenants that may, subject to certain significant exceptions, restrict our ability to, among other things, have liens on our property, change the nature of our business, transact business with affiliates, and/or merge or consolidate with any other person or sell or convey certain assets to any one person or pay dividends. In addition, some of the agreements that govern the debt financing may contain financial covenants that will require us to maintain certain financial ratios. Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could accelerate our repayment obligations. Any such acceleration of our repayment obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or stock price.
