Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our operations, industry, financial condition, performance, results of operations, and liquidity. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition and relate to matters such as future financial performance, future operational performance, the anticipated impact of specific items on future earnings, and our plans, objectives and expectations. Statements containing words such as "may," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project," "estimate," "should," "will," "designed to," "projections," or "business outlook," or other similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those projected. Potential factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the failure of Sierra Wireless, Inc. (“Sierra Wireless”) to obtain shareholder approval as required for the proposed acquisition; the failure to obtain regulatory approvals required for the closing of the proposed acquisition, including the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the proposed acquisition; the effect of the announcement of the proposed acquisition on the ability of the Company or Sierra Wireless to retain and hire key personnel and maintain business relationships with customers, suppliers and others with whom they each do business, or on the Company’s or Sierra Wireless’ operating results, the market price of common stock and business generally; potential legal proceedings relating to the proposed acquisition and the outcome of any such legal proceeding; the inherent risks, costs and uncertainties associated with integrating the businesses successfully and risks of not achieving all or any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition, or the risk that the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition may not be fully realized or take longer to realize than expected; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the arrangement agreement; the risk that the proposed acquisition will not be consummated within the expected time period, or at all; the uncertainty surrounding the impact and duration of supply chain constraints and any associated disruptions; the uncertainty surrounding the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; export restrictions and laws affecting the Company's trade and investments and tariffs or the occurrence of trade wars; worldwide economic and political disruptions, including as a result of inflation and the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine; competitive changes in the marketplace including, but not limited to, the pace of growth or adoption rates of applicable products or technologies; downturns in the business cycle; decreased average selling prices of the Company’s products; the Company’s reliance on a limited number of suppliers and subcontractors for components and materials; changes in projected or anticipated end-user markets; and the Company's ability to forecast and achieve anticipated net sales and earnings estimates in light of periodic economic uncertainty, including impacts arising from Asian, European and global economic dynamic; and those factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2022 and under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with SEC. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein that may cause actual performance and results to differ materially from those predicted, any such forward-looking information should not be regarded as representations or guarantees by the Company of future performance or results, or that its objectives or plans will be achieved, or that any of its operating expectations or financial forecasts will be realized. Reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking information contained herein, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to publicly release the results of any update or revision to any forward-looking statement that may be made to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated or future events, or otherwise.
In addition to regarding forward-looking statements with caution, you should consider that the preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to draw conclusions and make interpretations, judgments, assumptions and estimates with respect to certain factual, legal, and accounting matters. Our consolidated financial statements might have been materially impacted if we had reached different conclusions or made different interpretations, judgments, assumptions or estimates.

SEMTECH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Semtech Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company" or "Semtech") is a leading global supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms. The end customers for the Company’s products are primarily original equipment manufacturers that produce and sell electronics.
Fiscal Year
The Company reports results on the basis of 52 and 53-week periods and ends its fiscal year on the last Sunday in January. The other quarters generally end on the last Sunday of April, July and October. All quarters consist of 13 weeks except for one 14-week period in the fourth quarter of 53-week years. The second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 each consisted of 13 weeks.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022 ("Annual Report"). The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income are referred to herein as the "Statements of Income." The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are referred to herein as the "Balance Sheets" and interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as the "Statements of Cash Flows." In the opinion of the Company, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances have been eliminated. Because the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report. The results reported in these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Guidance Issued, but not yet Adopted as of July 31, 2022
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistencies related to recognition of an acquired contract liability, and to payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. Among other changes, this ASU requires that an acquirer account for acquired revenue contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," as if it had originated the contracts. If the acquirer is unable to assess or rely on how the acquiree applied ASC 606, the acquirer should consider the terms of the acquired contracts as of the contract inception or contract modification date in applying ASC 606 to determine what should be recorded at the acquisition date. The amendments also provide certain practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Acquisition and Divestiture
Proposed Transaction with Sierra Wireless, Inc.
Arrangement Agreement
On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Sierra Wireless, Inc., a corporation existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Sierra Wireless”), and 13548597 Canada Inc., a corporation formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act, and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which, among other things, Purchaser will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sierra Wireless (the “Arrangement”). The Arrangement will be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) in accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, at the effective time of the Arrangement (the “Effective Time”), each common share of Sierra Wireless that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be transferred to the Purchaser in consideration for the right to receive $31.00 USD per share of Sierra Wireless’ common shares, in an all-cash transaction representing total purchase consideration of approximately $1.2 billion.
The closing of the Arrangement is subject to customary closing conditions, including: (i) approval by the securityholders of Sierra Wireless; (ii) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), from the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice and approval under the Competition Act (Canada); (iii) approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia; (iv) the absence of any law, injunction or other governmental order that prohibits the consummation of the Arrangement; and (v) other customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality qualifications), and each party’s compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the Arrangement Agreement.
Assuming the timely satisfaction of the conditions to closing, the Company expects the Arrangement will close during its fiscal year 2023. Until close, the Company and Sierra Wireless will remain separate independent companies.
Divestiture
On May 3, 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of its high reliability discrete diodes and assemblies business (the “Disposal Group”) to Micross Components, Inc. for $26.8 million, net of cash disposed, in an all-cash transaction. The divestiture resulted in a gain of $18.0 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, which was recorded in "Gain on sale of business" in the Statements of Income. As a result of the transaction, the Company disposed of $0.8 million of goodwill based on the relative fair value of the Disposal Group and the portion of the Wireless and Sensing reporting unit that will be retained. The estimated fair value of the Disposal Group less estimated costs to sell exceeded its carrying amount as of the transaction date. As the sale of the Disposal Group is not considered a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results, it is not reported as discontinued operations.

Note 3: Earnings per Share
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows:

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
(in thousands, except per share data) | July 31, 2022 |  | August 1, 2021 |  | July 31, 2022 |  | August 1, 2021
Net income attributable to common stockholders | $ | 51,598 |  |  | $ | 32,933 |  |  | $ | 89,647 |  |  | $ | 56,433 |
Weighted-average shares outstanding–basic | 63,500 |  |  | 64,721 |  |  | 63,725 |  |  | 64,905 |
Dilutive effect of share-based compensation | 477 |  |  | 863 |  |  | 545 |  |  | 944 |
Weighted-average shares outstanding–diluted | 63,977 |  |  | 65,584 |  |  | 64,270 |  |  | 65,849 |
Earnings per share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic | $ | 0.81 |  |  | $ | 0.51 |  |  | $ | 1.41 |  |  | $ | 0.87 |
Diluted | $ | 0.81 |  |  | $ | 0.50 |  |  | $ | 1.39 |  |  | $ | 0.86 |
Anti-dilutive shares not included in the above calculations | 210 |  |  | 4 |  |  | 83 |  |  | — |

Diluted earnings per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable, calculated using the treasury stock method, upon the assumed exercise of non-qualified stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units and market-condition restricted stock unit awards if certain conditions have been met, but excludes such incremental shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Note 4: Share-Based Compensation
Financial Statement Effects and Presentation
Pre-tax share-based compensation was included in the Statements of Income as follows:

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
(in thousands) | July 31, 2022 |  | August 1, 2021 |  | July 31, 2022 |  | August 1, 2021
Cost of sales | $ | 610 |  |  | $ | 651 |  |  | $ | 1,385 |  |  | $ | 1,369 |
Selling, general and administrative | 8,588 |  |  | 7,098 |  |  | 14,720 |  |  | 14,457 |
Product development and engineering | 4,052 |  |  | 3,768 |  |  | 8,038 |  |  | 7,530 |
Total share-based compensation | $ | 13,250 |  |  | $ | 11,517 |  |  | $ | 24,143 |  |  | $ | 23,356 |

Restricted Stock Units, Employees
The Company grants restricted stock units to certain employees, which are expected to be settled with shares of the Company's common stock. The grant date for these awards is equal to the measurement date. These awards are valued as of the measurement date, based on the fair value of the Company's common stock at the grant date, and recognized as share-based compensation expense over the requisite vesting period (typically 4 years). In the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company granted 245,851 restricted stock units to employees.
Restricted Stock Units, Non-Employee Directors
The Company maintains a compensation program pursuant to which restricted stock units are granted to the Company’s directors that are not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Under the Company's director compensation program, a portion of the restricted stock units granted under the program will be settled in cash and a portion will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock. Restricted stock units awarded under the program are scheduled to vest on the earlier of (i) one year after the grant date or (ii) the day immediately preceding the Company's annual meeting of stockholders in the year following the grant. The portion of a restricted stock unit award under the program that is to be settled in cash will, subject to vesting, be settled when the director who received the award separates from the board of directors. The portion of a restricted stock unit award under the program that is to be settled in shares of the Company's common stock will, subject to vesting, be settled promptly following vesting. In the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company granted to the non-employee directors 15,579 restricted stock units that settle in cash and 15,579 restricted stock units that settle in shares.
Total Stockholder Return ("TSR") Market-Condition Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants TSR market-condition restricted stock units (the "TSR Awards") to certain executives of the Company. The TSR Awards have a pre-defined market-condition, which determines the number of shares that ultimately vest, as well as a service condition. The TSR Awards are valued as of the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation, which takes into consideration the possible outcomes pertaining to the TSR market condition and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods and is adjusted for any actual forfeitures.
In the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company granted 125,399 TSR Awards, which are accounted for as equity awards. The market condition is determined based upon the Company’s TSR benchmarked against the TSR of the S&P SPDR Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:XSD) over one, two and three year periods (one-third of the awards vesting each performance period). Generally, the fiscal year 2023 TSR Award recipients must be employed for the entire performance period and be an active employee at the time of vesting of the awards. The grant-date fair value per unit of the TSR Awards granted in the six months ended July 31, 2022 for each one, two and three year performance period was $57.92, $68.94 and $75.69, respectively.

Note 6: Fair Value Measurements
The following fair value hierarchy is applied for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value and prioritizes the inputs into three levels as follows:
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 and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions, requiring significant management judgment or estimation.
Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were presented in the Balance Sheets as follows:

| July 31, 2022 |  | January 30, 2022
(in thousands) | Total |  | (Level 1) |  | (Level 2) |  | (Level 3) |  | Total |  | (Level 1) |  | (Level 2) |  | (Level 3)

During the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company had no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. As of July 31, 2022 and January 30, 2022, the Company had not elected the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities for which such an election would have been permitted.
The convertible debt investments are valued utilizing a combination of estimates that are based on the estimated discounted cash flows associated with the debt and the fair value of the equity into which the debt may be converted, all of which are Level 3 inputs.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the changes in the convertible debt investments in the six months ended July 31, 2022:

(in thousands) |  |
Balance at January 30, 2022 |  | $ | 12,872 |
Increase in credit loss reserve |  | (50) |
Interest accrued |  | 581 |
Balance at July 31, 2022 |  | $ | 13,403 |

The interest rate swap agreement is measured at fair value using readily available interest rate curves (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of the agreement is determined by comparing, for each settlement, the contract rate to the forward rate and discounting to the present value. Contracts in a gain position are recorded in "Other current assets" and "Other assets" in the Balance Sheets and the value of contracts in a loss position are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other long term liabilities" in the Balance Sheets. See Note 16, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, for further discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments.
The foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value using readily available foreign currency forward and interest rate curves (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of each contract is determined by comparing the contract rate to the forward rate and discounting to the present value. Contracts in a gain position are recorded in "Other current assets" and "Other assets" in the Balance Sheets and the value of contracts in a loss position are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other long term
15

liabilities" in the Balance Sheets. See Note 16, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, for further discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments.
The total return swap contracts are measured at fair value using quoted prices of the underlying investments (Level 2 inputs). The fair values of the total return swap contracts are recognized in the Balance Sheets in "Accrued Liabilities" if the instruments are in a loss position and in "Other Current Assets" if the instruments are in a gain position. See Note 16, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, for further discussion of the Company's derivative instruments.
Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature. Such financial assets and financial liabilities include: cash and cash equivalents including money market deposits, net receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued personnel costs, and other current liabilities. The Company’s long-term debt is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value as the long-term debt bears interest at a floating rate.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company reduces the carrying amounts of its goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets and non-marketable equity securities to fair value when held for sale or determined to be impaired.
Investment Impairments and Credit Loss Reserves
The total credit loss reserve for the Company's held-to-maturity debt securities and available-for-sale debt securities was $4.1 million and $4.5 million as of July 31, 2022 and January 30, 2022, respectively. During each of the three and six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company decreased its expected credit loss reserves by $0.4 million primarily due to a recovery on one of its held-to-maturity debt securities. During the three and six months ended August 1, 2021, the Company increased its expected credit loss reserves by $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for its available-for-sale debt securities. Credit loss reserves related to the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities and held-to-maturity debt securities with maturities within one year were included in “Other current assets” and with maturities greater than one year were included in “Other assets” in the Balance Sheets.

Note 8: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The carrying amounts of goodwill by applicable reporting unit were as follows:

(in thousands) | Signal Integrity |  | Wireless and Sensing |  | Protection |  | Total
Balance at January 30, 2022 | $ | 274,085 |  |  | $ | 72,128 |  |  | $ | 4,928 |  |  | $ | 351,141 |
Reduction | — |  |  | (835) |  |  | — |  |  | (835) |
Balance at July 31, 2022 | $ | 274,085 |  |  | $ | 71,293 |  |  | $ | 4,928 |  |  | $ | 350,306 |

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level using either a qualitative or quantitative assessment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair market value of the reporting unit. As of July 31, 2022, there was no indication of impairment of the Company's goodwill balances. As a result of the divestiture of the Disposal Group during the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded a reduction to its goodwill of $0.8 million based on the relative fair value of the Disposal Group and the portion of the Wireless and Sensing reporting unit that will be retained. See Note 2, Acquisition and Divestiture, for additional information.
Purchased Intangibles
The following table sets forth the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and technology licenses purchased, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives:

|  |  | July 31, 2022 |  | January 30, 2022

Note 9: Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt and the current period interest rates were as follows:

(in thousands, except percentages) | July 31, 2022 |  | January 30, 2022
Revolving loans | $ | 173,000 |  |  | $ | 173,000 |
Debt issuance costs | (1,083) |  |  | (1,324) |
Total long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs | $ | 171,917 |  |  | $ | 171,676 |
Effective interest rate (1) | 2.13 | % |  | 1.90 | %

(1) The revolving loans bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or a Base Rate, at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin that varies based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement that fixed the interest on the first $150.0 million of debt outstanding under the revolving loans at 1.9775%. As of July 31, 2022, the effective interest rate was a weighted-average rate that represented (a) interest on the first $150.0 million of the debt outstanding at a fixed LIBOR rate of 0.7275% plus a margin of 1.25% (total fixed rate of 1.9775%), and (b) interest on the remainder of the debt outstanding at a variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, which was 1.88% as of July 31, 2022, plus a margin of 1.25% (total variable rate of 3.13%). As of January 30, 2022, the effective interest rate was a weighted-average rate that represented (a) interest on the first $150.0 million of the debt outstanding at a fixed LIBOR rate of 0.7275% plus a margin of 1.25% (total fixed rate of 1.9775%), and (b) interest on the remainder of the debt outstanding at a variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, which was 0.11% as of January 30, 2022, plus a margin of 1.25% (total variable rate of 1.36%).
On November 7, 2019, the Company, with certain of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. The borrowing capacity of the revolving loans under the senior secured first lien credit facility (the "Credit Facility") is $600.0 million and matures on November 7, 2024. As of July 31, 2022, the Company had $173.0 million outstanding under its Credit Facility and $427.0 million of undrawn borrowing capacity, and the Company was in compliance with the covenants required under the Credit Facility.
On August 11, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) provide for contractual fallback language for LIBOR replacement to reflect the Alternative Reference Rates Committee hardwired approach and (ii) incorporate certain provisions that clarify the rights of the administrative agent to recover from lenders or other secured parties erroneous payments made to such lenders or secured parties.
Debt Commitment Letter
In connection with the entry into the Arrangement Agreement (see Note 2, Acquisition and Divestiture), the Company entered into a commitment letter, dated as of August 2, 2022 (the “Commitment Letter”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), pursuant to which JPM has committed to provide (a) a backstop of certain amendments to the Company's existing Credit Facility and (b) a 364-day bridge loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion (the "Bridge Commitment"), subject to certain mandatory commitment reductions customary for a bridge loan facility. The Company intends to incur one or more financings to replace the Bridge Commitment on or prior to the consummation of the Arrangement.
Interest expense was comprised of the following components for the periods presented:

Note 10: Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the regional mix of income, impact of global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") and research and development ("R&D") tax credits. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act requires R&D costs incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 to be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or fifteen years for tax purposes, depending on where the research activities are conducted. The Company has elected to treat GILTI as a period cost and the additional capitalization of R&D costs within GILTI increases the Company's provision for income taxes.
The Company uses a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions ("UTP"). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained in audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (before the federal impact of state items) is as follows:

(in thousands) |
Balance at January 30, 2022 | $ | 27,051 |
Additions/(decreases) based on tax positions related to the current fiscal year | 376 |
Additions/(decreases) based on tax positions related to the prior fiscal years | 11 |
Balance at July 31, 2022 | $ | 27,438 |

Included in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits at July 31, 2022 and January 30, 2022 are $9.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of net tax benefits (after the federal impact of state items), that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate, prior to consideration of any required valuation allowance.
The liability for UTP is reflected in the Balance Sheets as follows:

(in thousands) | July 31, 2022 |  | January 30, 2022
Deferred tax assets - non-current | $ | 16,535 |  |  | $ | 16,346 |
Other long-term liabilities | 9,524 |  |  | 9,335 |
Total accrued taxes | $ | 26,059 |  |  | $ | 25,681 |

The Company’s policy is to include net interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the "Provision for income taxes" in the Statements of Income.
Tax years prior to 2013 (the Company’s fiscal year 2014) are generally not subject to examination by the United States ("U.S.") Internal Revenue Service except for items involving tax attributes that have been carried forward to tax years whose statute of limitations remains open. For state returns in the U.S., the Company is generally not subject to income tax examinations for calendar years prior to 2012 (the Company’s fiscal year 2013). The Company has a significant tax presence in Switzerland for which Swiss tax filings have been examined through fiscal year 2020. The Company is also subject to routine examinations by various foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax examinations cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax examinations are resolved in a manner not consistent with the Company's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

Note 11: Leases
The Company has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, and office equipment, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, "Leases." Real estate leases are used to secure office space for the Company's administrative, engineering, production support and manufacturing activities. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately ten years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year.

Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies
In accordance with ASC 450-20, "Loss Contingencies," the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if material. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company may be unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) if the proceedings are in early stages, (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions or settlements, (iv) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved, and (v) if there are novel or unsettled legal theories presented. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any.
Because the outcomes of litigation and other legal matters are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal matters or proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. While the consequences of certain unresolved matters and proceedings are not presently determinable, and an estimate of the probable and reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued for such proceedings cannot be reasonably made, an adverse outcome from such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings in any given reporting period. However, in the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, any ultimate liability related to current outstanding claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as a whole. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.
As such, even though the Company intends to vigorously defend itself with respect to its legal matters, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims, litigation, and other legal actions that are normal to the nature of its business, including with respect to intellectual property, contract, product liability, employment, and environmental matters. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, any ultimate liability related to current outstanding claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as a whole.
Environmental Matters
The Company vacated a former facility in Newbury Park, California in 2002, but continues to address groundwater and soil contamination at the site. The Company’s efforts to address site conditions have been at the direction of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”). In October 2013, an order was issued including a scope of proposed additional site work, monitoring, and remediation activities. The Company has been complying with RWQCB orders and direction, and continues to implement an approved remedial action plan addressing the soil, groundwater, and soil vapor at the site.
The Company has accrued liabilities where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the cost or amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on the latest determinations by the RWQCB and the most recent actions taken pursuant to the remedial action plan, the Company estimates the range of probable loss between $7.9 million and $9.4 million. To date, the Company has made $5.9 million in payments towards the remedial action plan and, as of July 31, 2022, has a remaining accrual of $2.0 million related to this matter. Given the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and the remediation activities, the Company is unable to determine a best estimate within the range of loss. Therefore, the Company has recorded the minimum amount of probable loss. These estimates could change as a result of changes in planned remedial actions, further actions from the regulatory agency, remediation technology, and other factors.
Indemnification
The Company has entered into agreements with its current and former executives and directors indemnifying them against certain liabilities incurred in connection with the performance of their duties. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also contain indemnification obligations with respect to the Company’s current directors and employees.
Product Warranties
The Company’s general warranty policy provides for repair or replacement of defective parts. In some cases, a refund of the purchase price is offered. In certain instances, the Company has agreed to other or additional warranty terms, including indemnification provisions.
The product warranty accrual reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable liability under its product warranties. The Company accrues for known warranty issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and accrues for estimated incurred but unidentified issues based on historical experience. Historically, warranty expense and the related accrual has been immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Deferred Compensation
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain officers and key executives that allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation for future distribution at various times permitted by the plan. This plan provides for a discretionary Company match up to a defined portion of the employee's deferral, with any match subject to a defined vesting schedule.
The Company's liability for the deferred compensation plan is presented below:

(in thousands) | July 31, 2022 |  | January 30, 2022
Accrued liabilities | $ | 1,700 |  |  | $ | 1,966 |
Other long-term liabilities | 40,525 |  |  | 43,197 |
Total deferred compensation liabilities under this plan | $ | 42,225 |  |  | $ | 45,163 |

The Company has purchased whole life insurance on the lives of certain current deferred compensation plan participants. This corporate-owned life insurance is held in a grantor trust and is intended to cover a majority of the Company's costs of the deferred compensation plan. The cash surrender value of the corporate-owned life insurance was $32.4 million and $35.2 million as of July 31, 2022 and January 30, 2022, respectively, and is included in "Other assets" in the Balance Sheets. The decrease in the cash surrender value of the corporate-owned life insurance as of July 31, 2022 compared to January 30, 2022 was primarily related to a $3.9 million decrease in market value and a $1.6 million reduction in cash surrender value related to a death benefit, partially offset by the re-investment of $2.7 million of proceeds from the death benefit into the corporate-owned life insurance policy in order to provide substantive coverage for the Company's deferred compensation liability.

Outside Subcontractors and Suppliers
The Company relies on a limited number of third-party subcontractors and suppliers for the production of silicon wafers, packaging and certain other tasks. Disruption or termination of supply sources or subcontractors, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic or natural disasters such as an earthquake or other causes, have delayed and could in the future delay shipments and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although there are generally alternate sources for these materials and services, qualification of the alternate sources could cause delays sufficient to have a material adverse effect on the Company. A significant amount of the Company’s third-party subcontractors and suppliers, including third-party foundries that supply silicon wafers, are located in the U.S., Taiwan and China. A significant amount of the Company’s assembly and test operations are conducted by third-party contractors in China, Taiwan and Malaysia.

Note 14: Segment Information
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer functions as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on the Company's major product lines, which represent its operating segments. The Company has three operating segments—Signal Integrity, Wireless and Sensing and Protection—that historically have been aggregated into one reportable segment identified as the "Semiconductor Products Group." In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company updated its forecasts and assessed the economic performance of the three operating segments and concluded that Protection is no longer expected to be economically similar to the other operating segments. This is primarily because the Company's projections indicate that the gross margin of products within Protection will not be economically similar to products within the other operating segments. Accordingly, the Company concluded that Protection should be separately reported as its own reportable segment. This decision resulted in the formation of two reportable segments, including the High-Performance Analog Group, which is comprised of the Signal Integrity and Wireless and Sensing operating segments, and the System Protection Group, which is comprised of the Protection operating segment. All prior year information in the tables below has been revised retrospectively to reflect the change to the Company's reportable segments.
The Company’s assets are commingled among the three operating segments and the CODM does not use asset information in making operating decisions or assessing performance. Therefore, the Company has not included asset information by reportable segment in the segment disclosures below.

Note 16: Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions and principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company, on a routine basis and in the normal course of business, experiences expenses denominated in Swiss Franc ("CHF"), Canadian Dollar ("CAD") and Great British Pound ("GBP"). Such expenses expose the Company to exchange rate fluctuations between these foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments, in the form of forward contracts, to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with adverse movements in these foreign currency exchange rates during a twelve-month window. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The Company’s accounting treatment for these instruments is based on whether or not the instruments are designated as a hedging instrument. The Company is applying hedge accounting to all foreign currency derivatives and has designated these hedges as cash flow hedges. As of January 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.
The Company's foreign currency forward contracts had the following outstanding balances as of July 31, 2022:

|  | Balance as of
|  | July 31, 2022 |  |
(in thousands, except number of instruments) |  | Number of Instruments |  | Sell Notional Value |  | Buy Notional Value |  |  |  |  |  |
Sell USD/Buy CAD Forward Contract |  | 6 |  | $ | 11,789 |  |  | C$ | 15,357 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Sell USD/Buy CHF Forward Contract |  | 12 |  | $ | 7,151 |  |  | Fr. | 7,079 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Sell USD/Buy GBP Forward Contract |  | 12 |  | $ | 4,693 |  |  | £ | 3,810 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Total |  | 30 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

These contracts have been designated as cash flows hedges and the unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, are recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss" ("AOCI") in the Balance Sheets. The effective portions of the cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in "SG&A expense" in the Statements of Income once the foreign exchange contract matures, offsetting the underlying hedged expenses. Any ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are recorded in "Non-operating income, net" in the Statements of Income. The Company presents its derivative assets and liabilities at their gross fair values in the Balance Sheets.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a three-year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on the first $150.0 million of debt outstanding under the Company's Credit Facility. Interest payments on the first $150.0 million of the Company's debt outstanding under the Credit Facility are now fixed at a rate of 1.9775%, based on the Company's current leverage ratio. The interest rate swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge and unrealized gains or losses, net of income tax, are recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss" in the Balance Sheets. As the various settlements are made on a monthly basis, the realized gain or loss on the settlements are recorded in "Interest expense" in the Statements of Income. The interest rate swap agreement resulted in a realized gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022, compared to a realized loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended August 1, 2021. The interest rate swap agreement resulted in a realized gain of $0.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2022, compared to a realized loss of $0.5 million for the six months ended August 1, 2021.
The fair values of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities that qualify as cash flow hedges in the Balance Sheets were as follows:

(in thousands) |  | July 31, 2022 |  | January 30, 2022
Interest rate swap agreement |  | $ | 2,152 |  |  | $ | 62 |
Foreign currency forward contracts |  | 539 |  |  | — |
Total other current assets |  | $ | 2,691 |  |  | $ | 62 |
Interest rate swap agreement |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 167 |
Total other long-term assets |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 167 |
Foreign currency forward contracts |  | $ | (42) |  |  | $ | — |
Total accrued liabilities |  | $ | (42) |  |  | $ | — |

27

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company entered into an economic hedge program that uses total return swap contracts to hedge the market risk associated with the unfunded portion of the Company's deferred compensation liability. The total return swap contracts generally have a duration of one month and are rebalanced and re-hedged at the end of each monthly term. While the total returns swap contracts are treated as economic hedges, the Company has not designated them as hedges for accounting purposes. The total return swap contracts are measured at fair value and recognized in the Balance Sheets in "Accrued Liabilities" if the instruments are in a loss position and in "Other Current Assets" if the instruments are in a gain position. Unrealized gains and losses, as well as realized gains and losses for settlements, on the total return swap contracts are recognized in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Statements of Income. As of July 31, 2022, the notional value of the total return swap contracts was $5.1 million and the fair value resulted in an asset of $0.4 million. As of January 30, 2022, the notional value of the total return swap contracts was $7.8 million and the fair value resulted in a liability of $0.3 million. The total return swap contracts resulted in a net gain recognized in earnings of $0.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022, compared to a net gain recognized in earnings of $0.6 million for the three months ended August 1, 2021. The total return swap contracts resulted in a net loss recognized in earnings of $0.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2022, compared to a net gain recognized in earnings of $1.6 million for the six months ended August 1, 2021.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report"),“Risk Factors” and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements" in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
Semtech Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "we", "our", or "us") designs, develops, manufactures and markets high-performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms. We account for results in two reportable segments—the High-Performance Analog Group and the System Protection Group. The High-Performance Analog Group is comprised of our Signal Integrity and Wireless and Sensing product lines, which represent two operating segments. The System Protection Group is comprised of our Protection product line, which represents a separate operating segment.
Signal Integrity. We design, develop, manufacture and market a portfolio of optical data communications and video transport products used in a wide variety of infrastructure and industrial applications. Our comprehensive portfolio of integrated circuits ("ICs") for data centers, enterprise networks, passive optical networks ("PON"), and wireless base station optical transceivers and high-speed interfaces ranges from 100Mbps to 400Gbps and supports key industry standards such as Fibre Channel, Infiniband, Ethernet, PON and synchronous optical networks. Our video products offer advanced solutions for next generation high-definition broadcast applications, as well as highly differentiated video-over-IP technology for professional audio video applications.
Wireless and Sensing. We design, develop, manufacture and market a portfolio of specialized radio frequency products used in a wide variety of industrial, medical and communications applications, and specialized sensing products used in industrial and consumer applications. Our wireless products, which include our LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology, feature industry leading and longest range industrial, scientific and medical radio, enabling a lower total cost of ownership and increased reliability in all environments. These features make these products particularly suitable for machine to machine and Internet-of-Things ("IoT") applications. Our unique sensing technology enables proximity sensing and advanced user interface solutions for our mobile and consumer products. Our wireless and sensing products can be found in a broad range of applications in the industrial, medical, and consumer markets. We also design, develop, and market power product devices that control, alter, regulate, and condition the power within electronic systems focused on the LoRa and IoT infrastructure segment. The highest volume product types within this category are switching voltage regulators, combination switching and linear regulators, smart regulators, isolated switches, and wireless charging.
Protection. We design, develop, manufacture and market high-performance protection devices, which are often referred to as transient voltage suppressors ("TVS"). TVS devices provide protection for electronic systems where voltage spikes (called transients), such as electrostatic discharge, electrical over stress or secondary lightning surge energy, can permanently damage sensitive ICs. Our portfolio of protection solutions include filter and termination devices that are integrated with the TVS device. Our products provide robust protection while preserving signal integrity in high-speed communications, networking and video interfaces. These products also operate at very low voltage. Our protection products can be found in a broad range of applications including smart phones, LCD and organic light-emitting diode TVs and displays, set-top boxes, monitors and displays, tablets, computers, notebooks, base stations, routers, automobile and industrial systems.

Recent Developments
Proposed Transaction with Sierra Wireless, Inc.
Arrangement Agreement
On August 2, 2022, we entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Sierra Wireless, Inc., a corporation existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Sierra Wireless”), and 13548597 Canada Inc., a corporation formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act, and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which, among other things, Purchaser will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sierra Wireless (the “Arrangement”). The Arrangement will be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) in accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, at the effective time of the Arrangement (the “Effective Time”), each common share of Sierra Wireless that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be transferred to the Purchaser in consideration for the right to receive $31.00 USD per share of Sierra Wireless’ common shares, in an all-cash transaction representing total purchase consideration of approximately $1.2 billion.
The closing of the Arrangement is subject to customary closing conditions, including: (i) approval by the securityholders of Sierra Wireless; (ii) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), from the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice and approval under the Competition Act (Canada); (iii) approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia; (iv) the absence of any law, injunction or other governmental order that prohibits the consummation of the Arrangement; and (v) other customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality qualifications), and each party’s compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the Arrangement Agreement.
Assuming the timely satisfaction of the conditions to closing, we expect the Arrangement will close during our fiscal year 2023. Until close, we and Sierra Wireless will remain separate independent companies.
Debt Commitment Letter
In connection with the entry into the Arrangement Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter, dated as of August 2, 2022 (the “Commitment Letter”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), pursuant to which JPM has committed to provide (a) a backstop of certain amendments to our existing Credit Facility (defined below) and (b) a 364-day bridge loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion (the "Bridge Commitment"), subject to certain mandatory commitment reductions customary for a bridge loan facility. We intend to incur one or more financings to replace the Bridge Commitment on or prior to the consummation of the Arrangement.
Divestiture
On May 3, 2022, we completed the divestiture of our high reliability discrete diodes and assemblies business (the “Disposal Group”) to Micross Components, Inc. for $26.8 million, net of cash disposed, in an all-cash transaction. For additional information on the divestiture, see Note 2 to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of COVID-19 and Macroeconomic Conditions
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected health and economic conditions throughout the United States ("U.S.") and the rest of the world including Asia, where a significant percentage of our customers, suppliers, third party foundries and subcontractors are located. As a result of the pandemic, certain of our facilities and the third-party foundries and assembly and test contractors to which we outsource our manufacturing functions, have had to periodically reduce or suspend operations. The disruption experienced during such closures has resulted in reduced production of our products, delays for delivery of our products to our customers, and reduced ability to receive supplies, which have had and may continue to have, individually and in the aggregate, an adverse effect on our results.
As supply remains tight, many of our suppliers may continue to run at or near capacity while our customers are competing for limited inventory. We have increased our inventory levels to minimize the impact of potential supply shortages; however, we cannot provide assurance that we will have sufficient inventory to support demand for all of our product applications. In addition, the prices to obtain raw materials and convert them into the necessary inventory have increased in certain cases due to current inflationary pressures and supply chain shortages and prices may continue to increase. While we have been largely successful with passing on selective price increases to our customers, we cannot provide assurance that all future potential price increases can be absorbed through increased pricing to our customers.
31

We believe the general supply chain constraints in the industry are motivating certain customers to increase their orders and inventory levels to protect against supply risk. To the extent that this cautionary purchasing is occurring, we could experience a decrease in future demand as potential excess inventory is worked down.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Most of our sales to customers are made on the basis of individual customer purchase orders. Many customers include cancellation provisions in their purchase orders. As a result of current macro conditions where demand is exceeding supply and we are seeing global shortages, lead times may continue to expand, resulting in fewer orders being shipped and received in the same quarter. Orders received and shipped in the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 represented 5% and 3% of net sales, respectively. Sales made directly to customers during the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 were 12% and 13% of net sales, respectively. The remaining sales were made through independent distributors. The decline in direct sales is due to customers electing to leverage the value of distribution to better manage their supply chain.
Our business relies on foreign-based entities. Many of our third-party subcontractors and suppliers, including third-party foundries that supply silicon wafers, are located in foreign countries or territories including Taiwan and China. Foreign sales constituted approximately 85% and 91% of our net sales during the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. Approximately 72% and 81% of our sales during the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively, were to customers located in the Asia-Pacific region. The remaining foreign sales were primarily to customers in Europe. Doing business in foreign locations also subjects us to export restrictions and trade laws, which may limit our ability to sell to certain customers.
We use several metrics as indicators of future potential growth. The indicators that we believe best correlate to potential future sales growth are design wins and new product releases. There are many factors that may cause a design win or new product release not to result in sales, including a customer's decision not to go to system production, a change in a customer’s perspective regarding a product’s value or a customer’s product failing in the end market. As a result, although a design win or new product introduction is an important step towards generating future sales, it does not inevitably result in us being awarded business or receiving a purchase commitment.
Inflationary factors have not had a significant effect on our performance over the past several years. A significant increase in inflation would affect our future performance if we were unable to pass these higher costs on to our customers.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended July 31, 2022 and August 1, 2021
Net Sales
The following table summarizes our net sales by major end market:

| Three Months Ended
(in thousands, except percentages) | July 31, 2022 |  | August 1, 2021
Infrastructure | $ | 84,533 |  |  | 40 | % |  | $ | 67,583 |  |  | 37 | %
High-End Consumer | 41,009 |  |  | 20 | % |  | 59,212 |  |  | 32 | %
Industrial | 83,712 |  |  | 40 | % |  | 58,209 |  |  | 31 | %
Total | $ | 209,254 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 185,004 |  |  | 100 | %

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 were $209.3 million, an increase of 13.1% compared to $185.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Net sales from our industrial end market increased $25.5 million versus the prior year
33

primarily due to an approximately $23 million increase in LoRa-enabled product sales including an increase in pico gateways, partially offset by approximately $2 million of sales from the Disposal Group in the prior year period, which was divested in May 2022. We experienced an increase of $17.0 million in net sales from our infrastructure end market, primarily driven by an approximately $13 million increase in PON sales. Net sales from our high-end consumer end market decreased $18.2 million primarily driven by an approximately $17 million decrease in our proximity sensing products.
Based on booking trends and our backlog entering the quarter, we estimate net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 to be between $170.0 million and $180.0 million. The range of guidance does not take into account the results of Sierra Wireless, and reflects continued uncertainty regarding macro-related events and those associated with the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above.
The following table summarizes our net sales by reportable segment:

| Three Months Ended |  |
(in thousands, except percentages) | July 31, 2022 |  | August 1, 2021 |  |
| Net Sales |  | % Net Sales |  | Net Sales |  | % Net Sales |  | Change
High-Performance Analog Group | $ | 154,995 |  |  | 74 | % |  | $ | 135,680 |  |  | 73 | % |  | 14 | %
System Protection Group | 54,259 |  |  | 26 | % |  | 49,324 |  |  | 27 | % |  | 10 | %
Total | $ | 209,254 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 185,004 |  |  | 100 | % |  | 13 | %

Net sales from our High-Performance Analog Group increased $19.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 primarily driven by an approximately $23 million increase in LoRa-enabled product sales, including an increase in pico gateways, and an approximately $13 million increase in PON sales, partially offset by an approximately $17 million decline in proximity sensing products. Net sales from our System Protection Group increased $4.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 primarily driven by an approximately $6 million increase in industrial automation and automotive sales, partially offset by an approximately $2 million decrease in TVS consumer product sales.
Gross Profit
The following table summarizes our gross profit and gross margin by reportable segment:

| Three Months Ended
(in thousands, except percentages) | July 31, 2022 |  | August 1, 2021
| Gross Profit |  | Gross Margin |  | Gross Profit |  | Gross Margin
High-Performance Analog Group | $ | 107,224 |  |  | 69.2 | % |  | $ | 91,352 |  |  | 67.3 | %
System Protection Group | 29,403 |  |  | 54.2 | % |  | 25,463 |  |  | 51.6 | %
Unallocated costs, including share-based compensation | (808) |  |  |  |  | (1,383) |  |  |
Total | $ | 135,819 |  |  | 64.9 | % |  | $ | 115,432 |  |  | 62.4 | %

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, gross profit increased $20.4 million to $135.8 million from $115.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 as a result of higher sales. This increase included a $15.9 million increase from our High-Performance Analog Group and a $3.9 million increase from our System Protection Group, both of which experienced higher demand and implemented price increases to offset higher manufacturing costs during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Our gross margin was 64.9% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to 62.4% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Gross margin in our High-Performance Analog Group was 69.2% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to 67.3% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, reflecting higher margins in 10G PON, as well as a favorable product mix in LoRa-enabled products. Gross margin in our System Protection Group was 54.2% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to 51.6% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, reflecting a favorable industrial automation and automotive product mix.
The majority of our manufacturing is outsourced, resulting in relatively low fixed manufacturing costs and variable costs that highly correlate with volume. For the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, we expect our gross margins to be in the range of 64.5% to 65.6%.
Despite the capacity constraints within the industry, we expect overall gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 to benefit from a favorable mix of high margin products. We have increased our inventory levels to try to minimize the impact of potential supply shortages.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $6.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 primarily as a result of $3.9 million in transaction costs related to the Arrangement Agreement, a $0.9 million increase in staffing-related costs and $0.8 million of higher travel costs.
Product Development and Engineering Expenses
Product development and engineering expenses increased $5.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 primarily as a result of a $2.7 million increase in staffing-related costs, including performance-based compensation, and a $2.2 million increase in new product introduction expenses. The levels of product development and engineering expenses reported in a fiscal period can be significantly impacted, and therefore experience period over period volatility, by the number of new product tape-outs and by the timing of recoveries from non-recurring engineering services, which are typically recorded as a reduction to product development and engineering expense.
Intangible Amortization
Intangible amortization was $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to certain finite-lived intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Trackio International AG, which became fully amortized during fiscal year 2022.
Gain on Sale of Business
Gain on sale of business was $18.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, resulting from our divestiture of the Disposal Group in May 2022.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, including amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, was $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022. This slight increase was primarily due to higher interest rates on the unhedged portion of our outstanding debt.
Investment Impairments and Credit Loss Reserves, net
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, investment impairments and credit loss reserves, net totaled a gain of $0.4 million primarily due to a recovery of credit loss reserve on one of our held-to-maturity debt securities. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, investment impairments and credit loss reserves, net totaled a loss of $0.5 million due to adjustments to our credit loss reserve for our available-for-sale debt securities.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 were provision rates of 19.0% and 8.3%, respectively. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $12.0 million, compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. The increase to our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was mainly due to an increase in global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), driven by the capitalization of research and development ("R&D") costs as mandated by The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and our divestiture of the Disposal Group in May 2022. The effective tax rates in the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 differ from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to a regional mix of income, impact of GILTI and R&D tax credits. We have elected to treat GILTI as a period cost and the additional capitalization of R&D costs within GILTI increases our provision for income taxes.
As a global organization, we are subject to audit by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. To the extent that an audit, or the closure of a statute of limitations, results in adjusting our reserves for uncertain tax positions, our effective tax rate could experience extreme volatility since any adjustment would be recorded as a discrete item in the period of adjustment.

Total | $ | 411,403 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 355,376 |  |  | 100 | %

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2023 were $411.4 million, an increase of 15.8% compared to $355.4 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2022. Net sales from our industrial end market increased $48.4 million versus the prior year primarily due to an approximately $42 million increase in LoRa-enabled product sales including an increase in pico gateways. We experienced an increase of $31.8 million in net sales from our infrastructure end market, primarily driven by an approximately $27 million increase in PON sales. Net sales from our high-end consumer end market decreased $24.2 million primarily driven by an approximately $28 million decrease in our proximity sensing products.
The following table summarizes our net sales by reportable segment:

Net sales from our High-Performance Analog Group increased $40.7 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2022 primarily driven by an approximately $42 million increase in LoRa-enabled product sales, including an increase in pico gateways, and an approximately $27 million increase in PON sales, partially offset by an approximately $28 million decline in proximity sensing products. Net sales from our System Protection Group increased $15.3 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2022 primarily driven by an approximately $14 million increase in industrial automation and automotive sales.
The following table summarizes our gross profit and gross margin by reportable segment:

| Six Months Ended

Total | $ | 266,072 |  |  | 64.7 | % |  | $ | 220,293 |  |  | 62.0 | %

In the first six months of fiscal year 2023, gross profit increased $45.8 million to $266.1 million from $220.3 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 as a result of higher sales. This increase included a $34.9 million increase from our High-Performance Analog Group and a $10.4 million increase from our System Protection Group, both of which experienced higher demand and implemented price increases to offset higher manufacturing costs during the first six months of fiscal year 2023.
Our gross margin was 64.7% in the first six months of fiscal year 2023, compared to 62.0% in the first six months of fiscal year 2022. Gross margin in our High-Performance Analog Group was 69.4% in the first six months of fiscal year 2023, compared to 66.9% in the first six months of fiscal year 2022, reflecting higher margins in 10G PON, as well as a favorable product mix in LoRa-enabled products. Gross margin in our System Protection Group was 53.4% in the first six months of fiscal year 2023, compared to 51.0% in the first six months of fiscal year 2022, reflecting a more favorable industrial automation and automotive product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses increased $10.7 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2022 primarily as a result of $3.9 million in transaction costs related to the Arrangement Agreement, $2.5 million of higher staffing-related costs, $1.0 million of higher travel costs, a $0.5 million increase in our environmental reserve and $0.5 million of transaction costs related to the divestiture of the Disposal Group in May 2022.
Product Development and Engineering Expenses
Product development and engineering expenses increased $7.1 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2022 primarily as a result of a $5.7 million increase in staffing-related costs, including performance-based compensation, $0.7 million of higher depreciation expense and a $0.6 million increase in new product introduction expenses.
Intangible Amortization
Intangible amortization was $2.1 million and $2.6 million for the first six months of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to certain finite-lived intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Trackio International AG, which became fully amortized during fiscal year 2022.
Gain on Sale of Business
Gain on sale of business was $18.0 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2023, resulting from our divestiture of the Disposal Group in May 2022.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, including amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, was $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the first six months of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. This slight increase was primarily due to higher interest rates on the unhedged portion of our outstanding debt.
Investment Impairments and Credit Loss Reserves, net
During the first six months of fiscal year 2023, investment impairments and credit loss reserves, net totaled a gain of $0.4 million primarily due to a recovery of credit loss reserve on one of our held-to-maturity debt securities. During the first six months of 2022, investment impairments and credit loss reserves, net totaled a loss of $0.7 million due to adjustments to our credit loss reserve for our available-for-sale debt securities.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the first six months of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 were provision rates of 18.4% and 9.8%, respectively. In the first six months of fiscal year 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $20.1 million, compared to $6.2 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2022. The increase to our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2022 was mainly due to an increase in GILTI, driven by the capitalization of R&D costs as mandated by The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and our divestiture of the Disposal Group in May 2022. The effective tax rates in the first six months of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 differ from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to a regional mix of income, impact of GILTI and R&D tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base; the success, timing and amount of investment required to bring new products to market; sales growth or decline; potential acquisitions; the general economic environment in which we operate; and our ability to generate cash flow from operations, which are more uncertain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the general economy. Our liquidity needs during this uncertain time will depend on multiple factors, including our ability to continue operations and
37

production of our products, given the global supply constraints, the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on our customers, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing and our operating performance.
We believe that our cash on hand, cash available from future operations and available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility (as defined below) and Commitment Letter are sufficient to meet liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months, including funds needed for our material cash requirements and to fund the purchase price of the Arrangement. As of July 31, 2022, we had $362.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $427.0 million of undrawn capacity on our Credit Facility. Over the longer-term, we believe our strong cash-generating business model will continue to provide adequate liquidity to fund our normal operations, which have minimal capital intensity. To the extent that we enter into acquisitions or strategic partnerships, we may be required to raise additional capital through debt issuances or equity offerings. In addition, we expect to refinance our Credit Facility ahead of its maturity in November 2024. While we have not had issues securing favorable financing historically, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance or secure additional capital at favorable terms, or at all in the future.
A meaningful portion of our capital resources, and the liquidity they represent, are held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of July 31, 2022, our foreign subsidiaries held approximately $272.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $221.9 million at January 30, 2022.
We expect our future cash uses will be for capital expenditures, repurchases of our common stock, debt repayment and potentially, acquisitions (including the Arrangement) and other investments that support achievement of our business strategies. We expect to fund those cash requirements through our cash from operations and borrowings against our Credit Facility and Commitment Letter.
Credit Facility
On November 7, 2019, we, with certain of our domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. The Credit Agreement provides $600.0 million in borrowing capacity of revolving loans under the senior secured first lien credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility matures on November 7, 2024.
In the first six months of fiscal year 2023, we both borrowed and repaid $10.0 million on our Credit Facility. In the first six months of fiscal year 2022, we made payments on our Credit Facility that totaled $4.0 million. As of July 31, 2022, we had $173.0 million of outstanding borrowings against our Credit Facility, which had $427.0 million of undrawn capacity.
The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to certain customary conditions, including obtaining commitments with respect thereto, we may request the establishment of one or more term loan facilities and/or increases to the revolving loans in a principal amount not to exceed (a) $300.0 million, plus (b) an unlimited amount, so long as our consolidated leverage ratio, determined on a pro forma basis, does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00. However, the lenders are not required to provide such increase upon our request.
Interest on loans made under the Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars accrues, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (1) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% depending upon our consolidated leverage ratio or (2) LIBOR (determined with respect to deposits in U.S. Dollars) for an interest period to be selected by us plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% depending upon our consolidated leverage ratio (such margin, the "Applicable Margin"). The "Base Rate" is equal to a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate of the Administrative Agent, (b) 0.50% above the federal funds effective rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (c) one-month LIBOR (determined with respect to deposits in U.S. Dollars), plus 1.00%. Interest on loans made under the Credit Facility in Alternative Currencies (as defined in the Credit Agreement) accrues at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (determined with respect to deposits in the applicable Alternative Currency) (other than loans made in Canadian Dollars, for which a special reference rate for Canadian Dollars applies) for an interest period to be selected by us plus the Applicable Margin.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a three-year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on the first $150.0 million of debt outstanding under our Credit Facility. Based on our current leverage ratio as of July 31, 2022, interest payments on the first $150.0 million of debt outstanding under our Credit Facility are fixed at 1.9775%.
All of our obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by all of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, any domestic subsidiary the primary assets of which consist of equity or debt of non-U.S. subsidiaries, certain immaterial non-wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and subsidiaries that are prohibited from providing a guarantee under applicable law or that would require governmental approval to provide such guarantee. The Company and the guarantors have also pledged substantially all of their assets to secure their obligations under the Credit Agreement.
No amortization is required with respect to the revolving loans and we may voluntarily prepay borrowings at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage costs" and fees for LIBOR-based loans.
38

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including limitations on our ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, create liens on assets, engage in certain fundamental corporate changes, make investments, repurchase stock, pay dividends or make similar distributions, engage in certain affiliate transactions, or enter into agreements that restrict our ability to create liens, pay dividends or make loan repayments. In addition, we must comply with financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of 3.50 to 1.00 or less, provided that, such maximum consolidated leverage ratio may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after the date of consummation of a permitted acquisition that constitutes a "Material Acquisition" under the Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of July 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants in our Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary provisions pertaining to events of default. If any event of default occurs, the obligations under the Credit Agreement may be declared due and payable, terminated upon written notice to us and existing letters of credit may be required to be cash collateralized.
On August 11, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) provide for contractual fallback language for LIBOR replacement to reflect the Alternative Reference Rates Committee hardwired approach and (ii) incorporate certain provisions that clarify the rights of the administrative agent to recover from lenders or other secured parties erroneous payments made to such lenders or secured parties.
Debt Commitment Letter
In connection with the entry into the Arrangement Agreement, we entered into the Commitment Letter with JPM pursuant to which JPM has committed to provide (a) a backstop of certain amendments to our Credit Facility and (b) the Bridge Commitment. We intend to incur one or more financings to replace the Bridge Commitment on or prior to the consummation of the Arrangement.
Capital Expenditures and Research and Development
We incur significant expenditures in order to fund the development, design and manufacture of new products. We intend to continue to focus on those areas that have shown potential for viable and profitable market opportunities, which may require additional investment in equipment and the hiring of additional design and application engineers aimed at developing new products. Certain of these expenditures, particularly the addition of design engineers, do not generate significant payback in the short-term. We plan to finance these expenditures with cash generated by our operations and our existing cash balances.
Purchases under our Stock Repurchase Program
We currently have in effect a stock repurchase program that was initially approved by our Board of Directors in March 2008. This program represents one of our principal efforts to return value to our stockholders. We repurchased 762,093 shares of our common stock under this program in the first six months of fiscal year 2023 for $50.0 million. In the first six months of fiscal year 2022, we repurchased 1,000,461 shares under this program for $67.0 million. As of July 31, 2022, the remaining authorization under this program was $209.4 million. We intend to fund repurchases under the program from cash on hand and borrowings on our Credit Facility. We have no obligation to repurchase any shares under the program and may suspend or discontinue it at any time.
Working Capital
Working capital, defined as total current assets less total current liabilities, fluctuates depending on end-market demand and our effective management of certain items such as receivables, inventory and payables. In times of escalating demand, our working capital requirements may increase as we purchase additional manufacturing materials and increase production. In addition, our working capital may be affected by potential acquisitions and transactions involving our debt instruments. Although investments made to fund working capital will reduce our cash balances, these investments are necessary to support business and operating initiatives. Our working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, was $74.8 million and $94.3 million as of July 31, 2022 and January 30, 2022, respectively. Our working capital, including cash and cash equivalents, was $437.0 million and $373.9 million as of July 31, 2022 and January 30, 2022, respectively.
Other than as disclosed above, there have been no material changes to our cash requirements from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
39

Cash Flows
One of our primary goals is to continually improve the cash flows from our existing operating activities. Additionally, we will continue to seek to maintain and improve our existing business performance with capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions and other investments that support achievement of our business strategies. Acquisitions may be made for either cash or stock consideration, or a combination of both.
In summary, our cash flows for each period were as follows:

| Six Months Ended
(in thousands) | July 31, 2022 |  | August 1, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 127,329 |  |  | $ | 85,599 |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 10,216 |  |  | (15,867) |
Net cash used in financing activities | (54,996) |  |  | (75,966) |
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 82,549 |  |  | $ | (6,234) |

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities is driven by net income adjusted for non-cash items and fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities.
Operating cash flows for the first six months of fiscal year 2023 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2022 were favorably impacted by a 15.8% increase in net sales, as well as a $15.5 million incremental decrease in inventory spend.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities is primarily attributable to proceeds from the divestiture of the Disposal Group and proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance, offset by capital expenditures, premiums paid for corporate-owned life insurance and purchases of investments.
In the first six months of fiscal year 2023, we received $26.8 million of proceeds from the divestiture of the Disposal Group, net of cash disposed, in May 2022. For additional information on the divestiture, see Note 2 to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Capital expenditures were $15.6 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2023, compared to $12.7 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2022. In the first six months of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, we made significant investments to update and expand our production capabilities.
In the first six months of fiscal year 2023, we paid $3.3 million for strategic investments, including investments in companies that are enabling the LoRa and LoRaWAN-based ecosystem, compared to $3.2 million of investments in the first six months of fiscal year 2022.
In the first six months of fiscal year 2023, we received $2.7 million of proceeds from a corporate-owned life insurance death benefit, which included a $1.6 million gain. All $2.7 million of the proceeds were re-invested into our corporate-owned life insurance policy in order to provide substantive coverage for our deferred compensation liability.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities is primarily attributable to repurchases of outstanding common stock, payments on our Credit Facility and payments related to employee share-based compensation payroll taxes, offset by proceeds from our Credit Facility and proceeds from stock option exercises.
In the first six months of fiscal year 2023, we paid $5.6 million for employee share-based compensation payroll taxes and received $0.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, compared to payments of $7.3 million for employee share-based compensation payroll taxes and proceeds of $2.3 million from the exercise of stock options in the first six months of fiscal year 2022. We do not directly control the timing of the exercise of stock options. Such exercises are independent decisions made by grantees and are influenced most directly by the stock price and the expiration dates of stock option awards. Such proceeds are difficult to forecast, resulting from several factors that are outside our control. We believe that such proceeds will remain a nominal source of cash in the future.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are disclosed in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the six months ended July 31, 2022. For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Available Information
General information about us can be found on our website at www.semtech.com. The information on our website is for informational purposes only and should not be relied on for investment purposes. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report and should not be considered part of this or any other report filed with the SEC.
We make available free of charge, either by direct access on our website or by a link to the SEC website, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. Our reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC are also available directly at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to a variety of market risks, including commodity risk and the risks related to foreign currency, interest rates and market performance that are discussed in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Many of the factors that can have an impact on our market risk are external to us, and so we are unable to fully predict them.
We considered the historical trends in foreign currency exchange rates and determined that it is reasonably possible that adverse changes in foreign exchange rates of 10% for all currencies could be experienced in the near-term. These reasonably possible adverse changes were applied to our total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than our functional currency as of the end of our second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The adverse impact these changes would have had (after taking into account balance sheet hedges only) would not have had a material impact on our income before taxes.
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with the portion of the outstanding debt under our Credit Facility that bears interest at a variable rate as of July 31, 2022. During fiscal year 2021, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a three-year term to hedge the variability of interest payments on the first $150.0 million of debt outstanding under our Credit Facility. Based on our current leverage ratio as of July 31, 2022, interest payments on the first $150.0 million of our debt outstanding under our Credit Facility are fixed at 1.9775%. See above under "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Credit Facility" for the interest rates applicable to U.S. and Alternative Currencies borrowings under our Credit Facility in excess of $150.0 million. Based upon the amount of our outstanding indebtedness as of July 31, 2022, a one percentage point increase in LIBOR would not have a material impact on our interest expense as only $23.0 million of our outstanding debt balance remains subject to a floating rate.
The Chief Executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that the FCA will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. For U.S. dollar LIBOR, publication of the one-week and two-month LIBOR settings ceased on December 31, 2021, and publication of the overnight and 12-month LIBOR settings will cease after June 30, 2023. Immediately after June 30, 2023, the one-month, three-month and six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will no longer be representative. Given these changes, the LIBOR administrator has advised that no new contracts using U.S. dollar LIBOR should be entered into after December 31, 2021. It is also possible that U.S. LIBOR will be discontinued or modified prior to June 30, 2023.
Our Credit Facility provides that, if it is publicly announced that the administrator of LIBOR has ceased or will cease to provide LIBOR, if it is publicly announced by the applicable regulatory supervisor that LIBOR is no longer representative, or if either the administrative agent or lenders holding 50% of the aggregate principal amount of our revolving commitments and term loans elect, we and the administrative agent may amend our Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate. This alternative benchmark rate may include a forward-looking term rate that is based on the secured overnight financing rate, also known as SOFR, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Interest rates also affect our return on excess cash and investments. As of July 31, 2022, we had $362.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents generate interest income based on prevailing interest rates. Interest income, net of reserves, generated by our investments and cash and cash equivalents was not material in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. A significant change in interest rates would impact the amount of interest income generated from our cash and investments. It would also impact the market value of our investments.
Our investments are primarily subject to credit risk. Our investment guidelines prescribe credit quality, permissible investments, diversification, and duration restrictions. These restrictions are intended to limit risk by restricting our investments to high quality debt instruments with relatively short-term durations. Our investment strategy limits investment of new funds and maturing securities to U.S. Treasury, Federal agency securities, high quality money market funds and time deposits with our principal commercial banks. Outside of these investment guidelines, we also invest in a limited amount of debt securities in privately held companies that we view as strategic to our business. For example, many of these investments are in companies that are enabling the LoRa and LoRaWAN-based ecosystem.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Controls
As of July 31, 2022, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter then ended that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.Risk Factors
Please carefully consider and evaluate all of the information in this Quarterly Report and the risk factors set forth below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022. If any of these risks actually occur, our business could be materially harmed. If our business is harmed, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Other than as set forth below, the risk factors associated with our business have not materially changed as compared to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022.
The failure to complete our planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless in a timely manner or at all, may adversely affect our business and our stock price.
Our and Sierra Wireless’ obligations to consummate our planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including, among others, (i) approval by the securityholders of Sierra Wireless; (ii) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including approvals under the HSR Act, from the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice and approval under the Competition Act (Canada); (iii) the issuance of interim and final orders approving the Arrangement by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in form and substance acceptable to each of us and Sierra Wireless, acting reasonably; (iv) the absence of any law, injunction or other governmental order that prohibits the consummation of the Arrangement; and (v) other customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality qualifications), and each party’s compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the Arrangement Agreement. We cannot provide assurance that these or the other conditions to the completion of the planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. In particular, the Arrangement Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Semtech and Sierra Wireless, including, among others, where the Arrangement is not consummated on or before January 3, 2023, which may be extended to February 3, 2023 and March 3, 2023 in certain circumstances if needed to obtain the required regulatory approvals referred to in clause (ii) above. In addition, other factors may affect when and whether the Arrangement will occur. Furthermore, if the planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless is not completed and the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, we may suffer other consequences that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and stock price, including the following:
•we have incurred and will continue to incur costs relating to the planned acquisition (including significant legal and financial advisory fees) and many of these costs are payable by us whether or not the planned acquisition is completed;
•matters relating to the planned acquisition (including integration planning) may require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management team, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us;
•we may be subject to legal proceedings related to failure to consummate the Arrangement;
•the failure to consummate the Arrangement may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community; and
•any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the planned acquisition, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our customers, suppliers, collaboration partners and employees, may continue or intensify in the event the Arrangement is not consummated.
Uncertainty about our planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless may adversely affect our business and stock price, whether or not the planned acquisition is completed.
We are subject to risks in connection with the announcement and pendency of our planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless, including any legal proceedings against us, our directors and others relating to the planned acquisition and the risks from possibly foregoing opportunities we might otherwise pursue absent the planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless. Furthermore, uncertainties about the planned acquisition may cause our current and prospective employees to experience uncertainty about their future with us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to retain, recruit or motivate key management and other personnel.
43

We may fail to realize the benefits expected from our planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless, which could adversely affect our stock price.
Our planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless, if completed, will be our largest acquisition to date. The anticipated benefits we expect from the planned acquisition are, necessarily, based on projections and assumptions about the combined businesses of our Company and Sierra Wireless, which may not materialize as expected or which may prove to be inaccurate. The value of our common stock following the completion of the planned acquisition could be adversely affected if we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition on a timely basis or at all. Achieving the benefits of the planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless will depend, in part, on our ability to integrate the business, operations and products of Sierra Wireless successfully and efficiently with our business. The challenges involved in this integration, which will be complex and time-consuming, include the following:
•difficulties entering new markets and integrating new technologies in which we have no or limited direct prior experience;
•successfully managing relationships with our combined customer, supplier and distributor base;
•coordinating and integrating independent research and development and engineering teams across technologies and product platforms to enhance product development while reducing costs;
•consolidating and integrating corporate, finance and administrative infrastructures and integrating and harmonizing business systems;
•coordinating sales and marketing efforts to effectively position our capabilities and the direction of product development;
•limitations prior to the completion of the acquisition on the ability of management of our Company and of Sierra Wireless to conduct planning regarding the integration of the two companies;
•the increased scale and complexity of our operations resulting from the acquisition;
•retaining key employees of our Company and Sierra Wireless;
•obligations that we will have to counterparties of Sierra Wireless that arise as a result of the change in control of Sierra Wireless, including with respect to limitations or restrictions that may be imposed on our ability to integrate products or technology used or produced by Sierra Wireless into new or existing products of the Company; and
•minimizing the diversion of management attention from other important business objectives.
If we do not successfully manage these issues and the other challenges inherent in integrating an acquired business of the size and complexity of Sierra Wireless, then we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Sierra Wireless. Moreover, we may not be able to integrate Sierra Wireless or achieve our expected synergies without increases in costs or other difficulties. The integration process may be complex, costly and time-consuming, and we will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to it. We expect to incur expenses in connection with the integration of Sierra Wireless following the consummation of the acquisition. Such expenses are difficult to estimate accurately, and may exceed current estimates. Accordingly, the benefits from the Sierra Wireless acquisition may be offset by costs incurred or delays in integrating the businesses. Furthermore, the Sierra Wireless acquisition may subject us to new types of risks to which we were not previously exposed. Any of the foregoing factors could cause our revenue, expenses, operating results and financial condition to be materially adversely affected.
The regulatory approvals required in connection with our planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless may not be obtained or may be subject to materially burdensome conditions.
Completion of our planned acquisition of Sierra Wireless is conditioned upon the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and we cannot provide assurance that these approvals will be obtained. If any conditions or changes to the proposed structure of the acquisition are required to obtain these regulatory approvals, they may have the effect of jeopardizing or delaying completion of the planned acquisition or reducing the anticipated benefits of the planned acquisition. If we agree to any material conditions in order to obtain any approvals required to complete the planned acquisition, the business and results of operations of the combined company may be adversely affected.
Our anticipated level of indebtedness will increase upon consummation of the Arrangement and will increase the related risks we now face.
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, we entered into the Commitment Letter with JPM pursuant to which JPM agreed to (i) backstop certain amendments to our existing Credit Facility in connection with the Arrangement and (ii) the Bridge Commitment. On July 31, 2022, we had indebtedness of approximately $173.0 million, which is comprised of borrowings under our Credit Facility. We intend to incur one or more financings to replace the Bridge Commitment on or prior to the consummation of the Arrangement.
44

Our increased indebtedness as a result of any such financings could have important consequences to the Company and our stockholders, including:
•increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements;
•with respect to variable rate indebtedness, risks associated with increases in interest rates;
•requiring the use of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund working capital, future acquisitions, capital expenditures and general corporate requirements;
•limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and
•putting us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors with less indebtedness.
