MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Maxim Integrated”) included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which were considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the six months ended December 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2013. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report include the financial results of Volterra Semiconductor Corporation (“Volterra”) prospectively from the date of acquisition. Refer to Note 13: "Acquisition" of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion in relation to Volterra.

The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal years 2014 and 2013 are 52-week fiscal years.

NOTE 2: RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

(i) New Accounting Updates Recently Adopted

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)- Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income that requires reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to be presented either in the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements. The adoption of this amended standard resulted in the presentation of the reclassification adjustments on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Statements and did not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(ii) Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Effective

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires certain unrecognized tax benefits to be presented as reductions to deferred tax assets instead of liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2013-11 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015; however, early adoption is permitted, as is a retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of money market funds.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of certificates of deposit, government agency securities and foreign currency forward contracts.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s Level 3 consists of contingent consideration liability related to certain prior years’ acquisitions and certain long-lived assets written down to fair value during the period.

The valuation of contingent consideration is based on a probability weighted earnout model which relies primarily on estimates of milestone achievements and discount rates applicable for the period expected payout. The most significant unobservable input used in the determination of estimated fair value of contingent consideration is the estimates on the likelihood of milestone achievements, which directly correlates to the fair value recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of this liability is estimated quarterly by management based on inputs received from the Company’s engineering and finance personnel. The determination of the milestone achievement is performed by the Company’s business units and reviewed by the accounting department. Potential valuation adjustments are made as the progress toward achieving milestones becomes determinable, with the impact of such adjustments being recorded to Other operating expenses (income), net. 

During the six months ended December 28, 2013 and the year ended June 29, 2013, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

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

As of December 28, 2013, certain long-lived assets including manufacturing equipment and held for sale assets were written down to fair value and fair value less cost to sell, respectively, resulting in an impairment loss of $5.2 million which was included in earnings for the period. The impairment charge was measured using Level 3 inputs. Fair value was determined mainly after consideration of evidence such as broker estimates, assets' condition and offers received. Refer to Note 15: "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 29, 2013, none of the Company's assets and liabilities was measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Volterra Substitute Awards

In connection with the Volterra acquisition, the Company issued substitute awards to certain Volterra employees. Substitute awards included options to purchase approximately 673,185 shares of Maxim Integrated's common stock at a weighted-average grant date fair value of approximately $10.56 and a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $22.26 per share and also issued approximately 418,955 restricted stock units with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $29.53. The terms of these awards were substantially the same as granted by Volterra. The intrinsic value of these awards was substantially the same immediately prior to and after the substitution as of October 1, 2013.

Stock Options

The fair value of options granted to employees under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.


12



Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatilities from the Company’s traded common stock over a period equal to the expected term. The Company is utilizing the simplified method to estimate expected holding periods. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield. The Company determines the dividend yield by dividing the annualized dividends per share by the prior quarter’s average stock price. The result is analyzed by the Company to decide whether it represents expected future dividend yield. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on a quarterly basis.

The fair value of options granted to employees has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following weighted-average assumptions:

to be paid on the Company’s common stock prior to vesting. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on a quarterly basis.

The weighted-average fair value of RSUs granted was $28.16 and $26.82 per share for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of RSUs granted was $25.95 and $24.67 per share for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

Aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs represents the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 27, 2013, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of RSUs outstanding or expected to vest as of December 28, 2013.
The Company withheld shares totaling $7.1 million and $14.2 million in value as a result of employee withholding taxes based on the value of the RSUs on their vesting date for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, respectively. The total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities are reflected as financing activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of December 28, 2013, there was $154.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to 8.6 million unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.9 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The fair value of rights to acquire common stock under the Company’s 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The fair value of ESPP granted to employees has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following weighted-average assumptions:

NOTE 7: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock excludes unvested RSUs. Diluted earnings per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, assumed release of unvested RSUs and assumed issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plans using the treasury stock method.

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

Approximately 10.5 million and 11.6 million stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. Approximately 9.8 million and 11.2 million stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. These options were excluded because they were determined to be antidilutive. However, such options could be dilutive in the future and, under those circumstances, would be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 8: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of linear and mixed signal integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by ASC No. 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”).

The Company has three operating segments that aggregate into one reportable segment. Under ASC 280, two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment for financial reporting purposes if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of ASC 280, if the segments have similar economic characteristics, and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas:

the nature of products and services;
the nature of the production processes;
the type or class of customer for their products and services; and
the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services.


The Company meets each of the aggregation criteria for the following reasons:

the sale of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits is the primary source of revenue for each of the Company’s three operating segments;

15



the integrated circuits sold by each of the Company’s operating segments are manufactured using similar semiconductor manufacturing processes;
the integrated circuits marketed by each of the Company’s operating segments are sold to the same types of customers; and
all of the Company’s integrated circuits are sold through a centralized sales force and common wholesale distributors.

All of the Company’s operating segments share similar long-term financial performance as they have similar economic characteristics, including gross margins. The causes for variation among the Company’s operating segments are the same and include factors such as (i) life cycle and price and cost fluctuations, (ii) number of competitors, (iii) product differentiation and (iv) size of market opportunity. Additionally, each operating segment is subject to the overall cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. The number and composition of employees and the amounts and types of tools and materials required are similar for each operating segment. Finally, even though the Company periodically reorganizes the Company’s operating segments based upon changes in customers, end-markets or products, acquisitions, long-term growth strategies, and the experience and bandwidth of the senior executives in charge, the common financial goals for each operating segment remain constant.

Enterprise-wide information is provided in accordance with ASC 280. Geographical revenue information is based on customers’ ship-to location. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment information is based on the physical location of the assets at the end of each reporting period.

Net revenues from unaffiliated customers by geographic region were as follows:

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

In the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $20.2 million and $42.2 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $38.1 million and $69.9 million in the three and six months ended December 29, 2012, respectively.

The Company's federal statutory tax rate is 35%. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were lower than the statutory tax rate primarily because earnings of foreign subsidiaries were taxed at lower rates. The Company's income tax provision for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 included a $21.4 million discrete tax charge for research and development expenses of a foreign subsidiary for which no tax benefit is available.

The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, could decrease within the next 12 months by $25 million due to expected settlements with foreign tax authorities.

In fiscal year 2012 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011, which is still ongoing.

NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is a party or subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings and claims that relate to intellectual-property matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will result in losses that are materially in excess of amounts already recognized or reserved, if any.

Indemnification
 
The Company indemnifies certain customers, distributors, suppliers and subcontractors for attorney fees and damages and costs awarded against such parties in certain circumstances in which the Company’s products are alleged to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks or copyrights. The terms of the Company’s indemnification obligations are generally perpetual from the effective date of the agreement. In certain cases, there are limits on and exceptions to the Company’s potential liability for indemnification relating to intellectual property infringement claims.


17



Pursuant to the Company’s charter documents and separate written indemnification agreements, the Company has certain indemnification obligations to its current officers, employees and directors, as well as certain former officers and directors.

Product Warranty

The Company generally warrants its products for one year from the date of shipment against defects in materials, workmanship and material non-conformance to the Company’s specifications. The general warranty policy provides for the repair or replacement of defective products or a credit to the customer’s account. In limited circumstances, the term of product warranty may extend beyond one year and may include financial responsibility beyond repairing or replacing the product or crediting the customer’s account. In addition, we may also consider the Company’s relationship with its customer when assessing product claims. Warranty expense has historically been immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, included within the results of operations for the three months ended December 28, 2013 is a charge of $18.1 million primarily related to a product claim with a major customer. This charge includes product replacement and the cost to remove and install replacement product. Additionally, the Company assumed from its recent acquisition of Volterra Corporation $13.9 million of warranty claims. 

Accruals are based on specifically identified claims and on the estimated, undiscounted cost of incurred-but-not-reported claims. If there is a material increase in the rate of customer claims compared with our historical experience or if the Company's estimates of probable losses relating to specifically identified warranty exposures require revision, the Company may record a charge against future cost of sales. Product warranty liability is included within the balance sheet caption “Accrued Expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 12: COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES

In July 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s management. This stock repurchase authorization has no expiration date. All prior authorizations by the Company’s Board of Directors for the repurchase of common stock were superseded by this authorization.

During the six months ended December 28, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 7.5 million shares of its common stock based on settlement date for $213.5 million. As of December 28, 2013, the Company had remaining authorization of $853.7 million for future share repurchases. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company’s common stock and general market and business conditions.

NOTE 13: ACQUISITION

Fiscal year 2014

VOLTERRA

On October 1, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of Volterra, formerly a publicly traded company that develops power management solutions. The primary reason for this acquisition was to expand the Company's available market across a wide range of end markets, including enterprise server, cloud computing, communications and energy. The results of operations of Volterra are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. Volterra net revenues booked in the Company's second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $35.0 million. Acquisition-related costs for the six months ended December 28, 2013 were $7.1 million. The Company is in the process of integrating the Volterra acquisition with the existing Communications and Automotive Solutions Group.

The total purchase price for Volterra was approximately $615 million and was comprised of:

 
 
(in thousands)
Cash consideration for 100% of outstanding common stock of Volterra at $23 per share

Volterra Substitute Awards

In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued substitute awards to certain Volterra employees. Refer to Note 6: "Stock-Based Compensation" of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on stock compensation in relation to Volterra.

The preliminary purchase price allocation as of the date of the acquisition is set forth in the table below and reflects various fair value estimates and analysis. These estimates were determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists, and are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period (generally one year from the acquisition date) as valuations are finalized.

The fair value of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets is preliminary pending the completion of the valuation of those assets. In addition, the Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate certain pre-acquisition contingencies, including corporate income tax related payables, uncertain tax positions and certain legal contingencies, relating to Volterra that existed as of the acquisition date. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date but was at that time unknown to the Company, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the purchase price allocation period.

IPR&D assets relate to future technology, it is capitalized until the technology is ready for its intended use and then amortized over the technology useful life. IPR&D costs incurred by the Company subsequent to the acquisition are expensed.

Goodwill was primarily attributable to the opportunities from the addition of Volterra's product portfolio which complements the Company’s suite of products, including providing integrated process solutions to customers. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

NOTE 14: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The Company monitors the recoverability of goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions, by reporting unit, annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company performed the annual goodwill impairment analysis during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired, as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.

NOTE 15: IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Fiscal year 2014:

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company recorded $5.2 million in Impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The impairment includes certain U.S. test operation assets identified as excess as a result of reducing the level and extent of the U.S. test organization. These assets included primarily test manufacturing equipment which was recorded in Property, plant, and

21



equipment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2013. These testers were fully impaired. The company also impaired fab tools and a building classified as held for sale. The fab tools were fully impaired while the building was impaired down to fair value less cost to sell. The fair value of the building was determined mainly after consideration of evidence such as broker estimates, building condition, and offers received.

Fiscal year 2013:

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company identified certain assets as excess primarily attributable to the transition to utilizing newer, more efficient manufacturing equipment. These assets included used fabrication tools and test manufacturing equipment. In connection with these circumstances, the Company recorded a charge for the write down of equipment to its estimated fair value. The total charge of $22.2 million was included in Impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of assets fair values. The fair value of the equipment was determined mainly after consideration of quoted market prices of similar equipment adjusted for equipment specifications and condition in addition to the current market demand and size.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company identified certain idle facilities as held for sale. In connection with these circumstances, the Company recorded a charge for the write-down of land and buildings to their estimated fair value, less cost to sell. The total charge of $2.7 million was included in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of assets fair values. The fair value of the land and buildings was determined mainly after consideration of evidence such as appraisals and offers received.

NOTE 16: RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

Volterra Restructuring Plan

In connection with the acquisitions of Volterra, the Company's management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of Volterra, including acceleration of certain stock-based compensation awards, costs to vacate duplicative facilities, severance for transitional and exiting employees, contract cancellation costs and other items. The total combined cost of the plan was $9.9 million in Severance and restructuring expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 28, 2013, the Company recorded all of the costs of the plan based upon the anticipated timing of planned terminations and facility closure costs. Expected severance and retention costs for transitional employees are being accrued over the transitional period. Amounts accrued and future estimated costs to be incurred as of December 28, 2013 are immaterial.

Business Unit Reorganization

During the six months ended December 28, 2013, the Company recorded $5.9 million in Severance and restructuring expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income associated with the reorganization of certain business units. Multiple job classifications and locations were impacted as this was a company-wide action. The reorganization was driven by the desire to focus on specific investment areas and simplify business processes.

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

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

Overview of Business

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

On October 1, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Volterra Semiconductor Corporation (“Volterra”) that develops power management solutions, for approximately $615.0 million. The acquisition of Volterra expands our serviceable available market across a wide range of end markets, including enterprise server, cloud computing and communications.

Impact of Acquisition

The comparability of our operating results in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2014 compared with the same periods in fiscal year 2013 is impacted by our acquisition of Volterra in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require us to make our most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and related allowances, which impact the recording of revenues; valuation of inventories, which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts write-offs of fixed assets, intangible assets, and goodwill; accounting for stock-based compensation, which impacts cost of goods sold, gross margins and operating expenses; accounting for income taxes, which impacts the income tax provision; and assessment of contingencies, which impacts charges recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expenses. We have other significant accounting policies that either do not generally require estimates and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or are less likely to have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.

There have been no material changes during the six months ended December 28, 2013 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2013.

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $620.3 million and $605.3 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, an increase of 2.5%. Net revenues were $1,205.5 million and $1,228.4 million for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, a decrease of 1.9%. We classify our shipments by four major end markets: Communications, Computing, Consumer and Industrial. Net shipments increased during the three months ended December 28, 2013 as compared to the three months ended December 29, 2012 due to the acquisition of Volterra, which contributed $35.0 million primarily to the Computing end market and an increase in shipments of our industrial products portfolio driven primarily by design wins and new products offered in the automotive end market. These increases were partially offset by lower demand for products in the consumer markets primarily from smartphones.


24



Net shipments decreased during the six months ended December 28, 2013 as compared to the six months ended December 29, 2012 due to lower demand for products in the consumer markets primarily from smartphones. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in shipments of our industrial products portfolio driven primarily by design wins and new products offered in the automotive end market, and a net increase in shipments to the Computing end market due to the Volterra acquisition partially offset by decreased shipments due to our exit of certain notebook products with low gross margin.

During the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, approximately 87% and 90% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from customers outside of the United States. During the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, approximately 86% and 90% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from customers outside of the United States. While the majority of these sales are denominated in U.S. Dollars, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our revenue and results of operations for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 was immaterial.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin percentages were 53.0% and 60.0% for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. The gross margin decreased due to $18.1 million of product warranty related expenses primarily associated with one customer, $12.7 million of incremental amortization related to Volterra intangible assets and $13.1 million related to Volterra inventory fair value mark-up amortization.

Our gross margin percentages were 56.1% and 61.0% for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. The gross margin decreased due to $18.2 million of product warranty related expenses primarily associated with one customer, $12.7 million of incremental amortization related to Volterra intangible assets, $13.1 million related to Volterra inventory fair value mark-up amortization, and increased inventory reserves of $8.4 million.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $143.0 million and $135.7 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, which represented 23.0% and 22.4% of net revenues, respectively. The $7.3 million increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries of $5.3 million, primarily from increased headcount from the Volterra acquisition and an increase in headcount related expenses of $2.4 million resulting from both the Volterra acquisition and an increase in employee health benefits costs.

Research and development expenses were $272.9 million and $268.7 million for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, which represented 22.6% and 21.9% of net revenues, respectively. The $4.2 million increase was primarily attributable an increase in headcount related expenses of $4.0 million resulting from both the Volterra acquisition and an increase in employee health benefits costs.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $83.5 million and $80.1 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, which represented 13.5% and 13.2% of net revenues, respectively. The $3.4 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase in legal expense relating to Volterra and an increase in headcount related expenses of $2.0 million resulting from both the Volterra acquisition and an increase in employee health benefits.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $160.9 million and $160.2 million for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, which represented 13.3% and 13.0% of net revenues, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of long-lived assets were $5.2 million and $22.2 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, which represented 0.8% and 3.7% of net revenues, respectively. The $17.0 million decrease was primarily due to lower levels of certain assets classified as excess Property, plant and equipment and certain assets classified as held for sale written down to fair value less cost to sell in the three months ended December 29, 2012 as compared to the three months ended December 28, 2013.

Impairment of long-lived assets were $5.2 million and $24.9 million for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, which represented 0.4% and 2.0% of net revenues, respectively. The $19.7 million decrease was primarily due

25



to lower levels of certain assets classified as excess Property, plant and equipment and certain assets classified as held for sale written down to fair value less cost to sell in the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the six months ended December 28, 2013.

Severance and Restructuring Expenses

Severance and restructuring expenses were $10.2 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, which represented 1.6% and 0.4% of net revenues, respectively. The $8.0 million increase was primarily due to the $9.9 million of severance costs associated with restructuring plans arising from the acquisition of Volterra including acceleration of certain stock-based compensation awards, costs to vacate duplicative facilities, severance for transitional and exiting employees, contract cancellation costs and other items.

Severance and restructuring expenses were $15.8 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, which represented 1.3% and 0.2% of net revenues, respectively. The $13.6 million increase was due to the $9.9 million of severance costs associated with restructuring plans arising from the acquisition of Volterra. Furthermore, the Company also recorded $5.9 million in severance and restructuring expenses associated with the reorganization of certain business units. The reorganization was driven by the desire to focus on specific investment areas and simplify business processes.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs were $4.1 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, respectively, and included banker, legal, and other Volterra related acquisition-related costs.

Other Operating Expenses (Income), net

Other operating expenses (income), net were $7.3 million and $1.7 million during the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. This net increase in expense of $5.6 million was primarily driven by a $6.0 million intellectual property infringement legal settlement.

Other operating expenses (income), net were $6.6 million and $2.1 million during the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. This net increase in expense of $4.5 million was primarily driven by a $6.0 million intellectual property infringement legal settlement.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), net

Interest and other income (expense), net were $(5.8) million and $(2.8) million for the three months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. This net increase in expense of $3.0 million was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense related to higher levels of long-term debt outstanding to date during fiscal year 2014 as compared to fiscal year 2013.

Interest and other income (expense), net were $(9.3) million and $(8.5) million for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. This net increase in expense of $0.8 million was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense related to our higher levels of long-term debt outstanding during fiscal year 2014 as compared to 2013, and a favorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates movements.

Provision for Income Taxes

In the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $20.2 million and $42.2 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $38.1 million and $69.9 million in the three and six months ended December 29, 2012, respectively.

The Company's federal statutory tax rate is 35%. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were lower than the statutory tax rate primarily because earnings of foreign subsidiaries were taxed at lower rates. The Company's income tax provision for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 included a $21.4 million discrete tax charge for research and development expenses of a foreign subsidiary for which no tax benefit is available.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013 was 31.3% and 22.3%, respectively, compared to 33.2% and 25.5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012. The effective tax rate changes are primarily due to shifts of income and loss among jurisdictions with differing tax rates and a $21.4 million discrete tax charge

26



in the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 for research and development expenses of a foreign subsidiary for which no tax benefit is available.

The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, could decrease within the next 12 months by $25 million due to expected settlements with foreign tax authorities.

In fiscal year 2012 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011, which is still ongoing.

BACKLOG

At December 28, 2013 and September 28, 2013, our current quarter backlog was approximately $366 million and $390 million, respectively. We include in backlog orders with customer request dates within the next three months. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, these orders may be canceled in most cases without penalty to customers. In addition, backlog includes orders from domestic distributors for which revenues are not recognized until the products are sold by the distributors. Accordingly, we believe that our backlog is not a reliable measure of future revenues. All backlog numbers have been adjusted for estimated future U.S. distribution ship and debit pricing adjustments.

Operating activities

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

Cash from operations for the six months ended December 28, 2013 decreased by approximately $61.5 million compared with the six months ended December 29, 2012. This was primarily due to a lower net income of $57.0 million, impact of sales linearity on accounts receivable, and lower impairment of property plant and equipment. These decreases were offset partially by relative inventory levels, impacted by the amortization of the Volterra inventory mark-up during the six months ended December 28, 2013

Investing activities

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

Cash provided by investing activities decreased by $397.6 million for the six months ended December 28, 2013 compared with the six months ended December 29, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to payments in connection with the Volterra acquisition, net of cash acquired of $453.5 million.

Financing activities

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

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by approximately $360.0 million for the six months ended December 28, 2013 compared with the six months ended December 29, 2012. The increase was primarily from the issuance of $500 million of the Company's senior unsecured notes on November 21, 2013, net of paid issuance costs and discount; at $494.5 million. This increase was offset by increased level of repurchases of common stock of $97.9 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

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

Outstanding debt has increased to $1,004 million from $506 million as of December 28, 2013 and June 29, 2013, respectively, bearing weighted average interest rate of 3.0% and 3.5% for the six months ended December 28, 2013 and for the year ended June 29, 2013, respectively.


Available Borrowing Resources

As of December 28, 2013, the Company had the capacity to issue an unspecified amount of additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights and units under an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on August 12, 2013.

The Company also has access to a $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders that expires on October 13, 2016. The facility fee is at a rate per annum that varies based on the Company's index debt rating and any advances under the credit agreement will accrue interest at a base rate plus a margin based on the Company's index debt rating. As of December 28, 2013, the Company had not borrowed any amounts from this credit facility and was in compliance with all debt covenants.

As of December 28, 2013, our available funds consisted of $1,149.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

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

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of December 28, 2013, the Company did not have any material off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate and foreign currency risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2013.

The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company’s net revenues and on operating income during the six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 was not material.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and our chief financial officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as of December 28, 2013. Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 28, 2013. The purpose of these controls

28



and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On October 1, 2013 we completed the acquisition of Volterra. We are in the process of integrating Volterra into our systems and control environment as of December 28, 2013. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 28, 2013, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected or are reasonable likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

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

On July 25, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s management. This stock repurchase authorization has no expiration date. All prior authorizations by the Company’s Board of Directors for the repurchase of common stock were superseded by this authorization.

In the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares of its common stock based on settlement date for approximately $59.1 million. As of December 28, 2013, the Company had remaining authorization of $853.7 million for future share repurchases. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company’s common stock and general market and business conditions.
