Significant Accounting Policies |
Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position of Silicon Laboratories Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) at June 29, 2013 and December 29, 2012, the condensed consolidated results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include certain footnotes and financial presentations normally required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Therefore, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 29, 2012, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 1, 2013. The Company prepares financial statements on a 52-53 week year that ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2013 will have 52 weeks and fiscal 2012 had 52 weeks. In a 52-week year, each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks. Revenue Recognition Revenues are generated almost exclusively by sales of the Company’s integrated circuits (ICs). The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: 1) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, 2) delivery of goods has occurred, 3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and 4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Generally, revenue from product sales to direct customers and contract manufacturers is recognized upon shipment. A portion of the Company’s sales are made to distributors under agreements allowing certain rights of return and price protection related to the final selling price to the end customers. Accordingly, the Company defers revenue and cost of revenue on such sales until the distributors sell the product to the end customers. The net balance of deferred revenue less deferred cost of revenue associated with inventory shipped to a distributor but not yet sold to an end customer is recorded in the deferred income on shipments to distributors liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Such net deferred income balance reflects the Company’s estimate of the impact of rights of return and price protection. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements, but did amend the disclosures for accumulated other comprehensive loss.
