Embedded control systems typically incorporate a mixed-signal microcontroller, microprocessor or FPGA as the principal active, and sometimes sole, component. A mixed-signal microcontroller is a self-contained computer-on-a-chip consisting of a central processing unit, often with on-board non-volatile program memory for program storage, random access memory for data storage and various analog and digital input/output peripheral capabilities. In addition to the mixed-signal microcontroller, a complete embedded control system often incorporates application-specific software, various analog, power, mixed-signal, timing, connectivity, security and non-volatile memory components such as EEPROMs and Flash memory.

Mixed-signal microcontrollers are primarily available in 8-bit through 32-bit architectures. ~~In July 2024, we entered the 64-bit mixed-signal microprocessor market furthering our expansion beyond 32-bit architecture.~~ 8-bit mixed-signal microcontrollers remain very cost-effective and easy to use for a wide range of high-volume embedded control applications and, as a result, continue to represent a significant portion of the overall mixed-signal microcontroller market. 16-bit and 32-bit mixed-signal microcontrollers provide higher performance and functionality, and are generally found in more complex embedded control applications. FPGAs are programmable integrated circuits that are used to implement complex logic functions and can be re-programmed at any time, allowing for multiple implementations and revisions during or after the customer system is manufactured. Some versions of FPGAs also include a mixed-signal microcontroller or microprocessor core to provide additional system on chip functionality to compute intensive tasks. Microprocessors integrate 32-bit (or above) central processing units (CPUs) with various high performance peripherals, such as communications and graphics, and execute code from external memory, typically dynamic random access memory. In July 2024, we entered the 64-bit mixed-signal microprocessor market furthering our expansion beyond 32-bit architecture. 64-bit multi-core microprocessors offer even greater computational power and are often utilized in applications requiring advanced processing capabilities, such as data-intensive tasks and sophisticated system operations such as Linux.

Consistent with the macroeconomic environment during fiscal 2025, our capacity expansion activity at Fab 4 and Fab 5 remained paused and we have reduced our planned capital investments through fiscal 2026.

In addition to the Fab 2 closure, which commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we reduced headcount at Fab 4, Fab 5 and our backend manufacturing facility in the Philippines. We expect approximately $90 million in annual savings related to the closure of Fab 2, plus approximately $25 million in annual savings from the temporarily reduced compensation costs in Fab 4 and Fab 5.

As a result of our prior acquisition activity, we acquired several smaller wafer fabrication facilities, which utilize older technologies that are appropriate for the discrete products they manufacture. We currently plan to continue to operate these fabrication facilities with modest investment to keep them operational and accommodate areas of growing demand.

We continue to transition products to more advanced process technologies to reduce future manufacturing costs. We believe that our ability to successfully transition to more advanced process technologies is important for us to remain competitive.

In fiscal 2025, approximately 36% of our sales came from products produced at our own wafer fabrication facilities that are located in the U.S. There are benefits to having our own U.S. wafer fabrication facilities such as increased IP protection and security, increased supply chain resilience and the ability to manage production costs. We augment our internal manufacturing capabilities by outsourcing a significant portion of our wafer production requirements to third-party wafer foundries, including all of our 300mm wafer requirements and some of our 200mm and 150mm specialty process technologies. In fiscal 2025, approximately 64% of our sales came from products that were produced at outside wafer foundries. Diversifying our wafer production geographically can help prevent disruptions that may be caused by geopolitical tensions, tariffs or natural disasters.

General Matters Impacting Our Manufacturing Operations

Due to the high fixed costs inherent in semiconductor manufacturing, consistently high manufacturing yields have significant positive effects on our gross profit and overall operating results. Our continuous focus on manufacturing productivity has allowed us to maintain excellent manufacturing yields at our facilities. Our manufacturing yields are primarily driven by a comprehensive implementation of statistical process control, extensive employee training and effective use of our manufacturing facilities and equipment. Maintenance of manufacturing productivity and yields are important factors in the achievement of our operating results. The manufacture of integrated circuits, particularly non-volatile, erasable complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) memory and logic devices, such as those that we produce, are complex processes. These processes are sensitive to a wide variety of factors, including the level of contaminants in the manufacturing environment, impurities in the materials used and the performance of our manufacturing personnel and equipment. As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we have from time to time experienced lower than anticipated manufacturing yields. Our operating results will suffer if we are unable to maintain yields at or above approximately the current levels.

Historically, we have relied on our ability to respond quickly to customer orders as part of our competitive strategy, resulting in customers placing orders with relatively short delivery schedules. In order to respond to such requirements, we have historically maintained a significant work-in-process and finished goods inventory. Refer to Note 3 for a summary of our long-lived assets, consisting of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, by geography.

We have many suppliers of raw materials and subcontractors that provide our various materials and service needs. We generally seek to have multiple sources of supply for our raw materials and services, but, in some cases, we may rely on a single or limited number of suppliers.

Sales and Distribution

General

We market and sell our products worldwide primarily through a network of direct sales personnel and distributors to approximately ~~109~~101,000 unique customers.

Our direct sales force focuses on a wide variety of strategic accounts in three geographical markets: the Americas, Europe and Asia. We currently maintain sales and technical support centers in major metropolitan areas in all three geographic markets. We believe that a strong technical service presence is essential to the continued development of the embedded control market. Many of our CEMs, ~~ESEs~~FAEs, and sales managers have technical degrees or backgrounds and have been previously employed in high technology environments. We believe that the technical and business knowledge of our sales force is a key competitive advantage in the sale of our products. The primary mission of our ~~ESE~~FAE team is to provide technical assistance to customers and to conduct periodic training sessions for the balance of our sales team. ~~ESEs~~FAEs also frequently conduct technical seminars and workshops in major cities around the world or through online webcasts.

Our licensing division has dedicated sales, technology, design, product, test and reliability personnel that support the requirements of our licensees.

For information regarding our revenue, results of operations, and total assets for each of our last three fiscal years, refer to our financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Distribution

Our distributors focus primarily on servicing the product requirements of a broad base of diverse customers. We believe that distributors provide an effective means of reaching this broad and diverse customer base. We believe that customers recognize us for our products and brand name and use distributors as an effective supply channel.

In fiscal ~~2025~~2026, we derived 4547% of our net sales through distributors compared to 5553% of our net sales from customers serviced directly by us. In fiscal ~~2024~~2025, we derived 4745% of our net sales through distributors compared to 5355% of our net sales from customers serviced directly by us. With the exception of Arrow Electronics, our largest distributor, which made up 1012% and 1210% of our net sales, in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and in fiscal ~~2024~~2025, respectively, no distributor or direct customer accounted for more than 10% of our net sales.

Generally, we do not have long-term agreements with our distributors and we, or our distributors, may terminate our relationships with each other with little or no advance notice, with the exception of orders otherwise designated as non-cancellable. The loss of, or the disruption in the operations of, one or more of our distributors could reduce our future net sales in a given quarter and could result in an increase in inventory returns.

Competition

The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive and has historically been characterized by price erosion and rapid technological change. We compete with major domestic and international semiconductor companies, some of which have greater market recognition and greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we have with which to pursue engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products. We also compete with a number of companies that we believe have copied, cloned, pirated or reverse engineered our proprietary product lines in such countries as China and Taiwan. We are continuing to take actions to vigorously and aggressively defend and protect our intellectual property on a worldwide basis.

We currently compete principally on the basis of the technical innovation and performance of our embedded control products, including the following product characteristics:

•performance and specifications

•analog, digital and mixed-signal functionality and level of functional integration

•field programmability

•memory density

•low power consumption

•extended voltage ranges

•reliability

Table of Contents

•security and functional safety

•packaging alternatives

•comprehensive suite of development tools

We believe that other important competitive factors in the embedded control market include:

•our broad product portfolio offers a Total System Solutions through a combination of hardware, software and services

•ease of use

•functionality of application development systems

•hardware, software and tool compatibility within product families to increase migration flexibility

•dependable delivery, quality and availability

•technical and innovative service and support

•time to market

•total solution cost

•availability of easy to adopt reference ~~design~~designs and documentation

We believe that we compete favorably with other companies on all of these factors, but if we are unable to compete successfully in the future, our business could be harmed.

Table of Contents

Patents, Licenses and Trademarks

We maintain a portfolio of U.S. and foreign patents, expiring on various dates from ~~2025~~2026 through ~~2044~~2045. We also have numerous additional U.S. and foreign patent applications pending. We do not expect that the expiration of any particular patent will have a material impact on our ~~semiconductor~~ business. While our intention is to continue to patent our technology and manufacturing processes, we believe that our continued success depends primarily on the technological skills and innovative capabilities of our personnel and our ability to rapidly commercialize new and enhanced products. As with any operating company, the scope and strength of our intellectual property assets, including our pending and existing patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights may be insufficient to provide meaningful protection or commercial advantage. Moreover, pursuing violations of intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis is a complex challenge involving multinational patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws. Further, the laws of particular foreign countries often fail to protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S.

We have also entered into certain in-bound and outbound intellectual property licenses and cross-licenses with other companies and those licenses relate to semiconductor products and manufacturing processes. As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we and our customers from time to time receive, and may continue to receive, demand letters from third parties asserting infringement of patent and other intellectual property rights. We diligently investigate all such notices and respond as we believe appropriate. In most cases we believe that we can obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, however, we cannot be certain that this would be the case, or that litigation or damages for any past infringement could be avoided. Licensees of our technology may become unable to pay, and have in the past and are currently disputing their obligations to pay us royalties or fees. Litigation, arbitration or other proceedings, which could result in substantial costs and require significant attention from management, has been and is expected to be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, or to defend against claimed infringement of the rights of others. The failure to obtain necessary licenses, the necessity of engaging in defensive legal proceedings, or any negative results of these proceedings could harm our business.

Environmental Regulation

We must comply with many different federal, state, local and foreign governmental regulations related to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of certain chemicals and gases used in our products and manufacturing processes. Our waste disposal programs in our facilities have been designed to comply with these regulations and we believe that our activities are conducted in material compliance with such regulations. However, any changes in such regulations or in their enforcement could result in an increase in capital expenditures such as acquiring costly equipment or other significant expenses to comply with environmental regulations. Any failure by us to adequately control the storage, use, discharge and disposal of regulated substances could result in significant future liabilities.

Increasing public attention has been focused on the environmental impact of electronic manufacturing operations. While we have not experienced any materially adverse effects on our operations from recently adopted environmental regulations, technological changes, or weather, our business and results of operations could suffer if for any reason we fail to control the ~~storage or use of, or to adequately restrict the discharge or disposal of, hazardous substances under present or future environmental regulations.~~

storage or use of, or to adequately restrict the discharge or disposal of, hazardous substances under present or future environmental regulations.

Human Capital Resources

Our Employees

We invest in our highly-skilled global workforce of approximately 1917,~~400~~900 people in accordance with our Guiding Value: employees are our greatest strength. We believe that our culture, values, and organizational development and training programs provide a work environment where our employees are empowered and engaged to deliver the best embedded control solutions to our customers.

Culture and Core Values

Before Microchip went public in 1993, Microchip created a cultural framework to unite its employees through shared workplace values, and to guide employees’ strategies, decisions, actions and job performance. Our culture is centered on a values-based, highly-empowered, continuous-improvement oriented approach. This corporate culture strengthens our business, and enables us to fulfill our purpose. Our focus on communication aims to provide transparency among leadership, to promote trust among employees, and is a critical part of Microchip’s culture.

Table of Contents

Our culture is important to our employees, and is a key reason why we have a significant number of employees with long tenure with Microchip that have grown from individual contributors in the early stages of their careers into senior leadership positions today. This long tenure among our employee-base results in deep relationships and trust being built among colleagues, retention of our knowledge base, and continuation of our culture. More information on our Guiding Values can be found at www.microchip.com/en-us/about/investors/investor-information/mission-statement.

We promote employee adoption of our culture through a number of methods including training, mentorship, values-based performance reviews, company-wide quarterly meetings, town hall meetings with the President and Chief Executive Officer and other executive team members, and an open-door policy of communication where employees are encouraged to interact directly with management. To assess and improve employee engagement, we conduct our annual employee engagement survey, which is administered in a manner that allows employees to respond confidentially. The survey solicits feedback on a variety of factors, including engagement, culture, leadership, continuous improvement, collaboration, work environment, and ethics.

Training and Development

Microchip’s culture focuses on continuous improvement. We provide training on our culture, management skills, communication, technical skills, and personal improvement. Microchip also has a leadership program that provides for the growth and development of its future leaders. This program helps us develop leaders that serve as role models of Microchip culture, and support empowerment and open communication.

To support employee development, we provide opportunities to learn on-the-job through training courses, targeted development programs, mentoring and peer coaching, and ongoing feedback. We have a library of live and on-demand learning experiences. We create learning paths focused on our most common development needs and regularly upgrade our offerings to help ensure that our employees are exposed to current content. We offer tuition reimbursement programs to subsidize educational programs and advanced certifications.

Compensation Programs

We strive to provide competitive pay and benefits, that help meet the varying needs of our employees and encourage employees to be shareholders in Microchip through our various equity incentive plans. Our total compensation package includes base pay, broad-based stock grants and bonuses, healthcare and retirement plans, employee stock purchase plans, paid time off and family leave. Benefit programs include 401(k) programs in the U.S., and statutory pension programs outside the U.S. Microchip has multiple equity programs in place including restricted stock unit awards and employee stock purchase plans that align employee interests with those of our shareholders.

Period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and you should not rely upon any such comparisons as indications of our future performance. In future periods, our operating results may fall below our public guidance or the expectations of public market analysts and investors, which would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock. Uncertain global economic and public health conditions have caused and may in the future cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly and make comparisons between periods less meaningful.

15Any interruption in the supply of raw materials, components, or equipment - or reduced supplier support for key manufacturing tools - could adversely affect our ability to produce products in the required volumes or on expected timelines. Supply availability may be further limited as global semiconductor demand increases, suppliers shift production toward higher cost or more complex products, or as a result of supply chain disruptions, transit delays, or political instability. For example, as memory manufacturers transition to more advanced products, availability of the memory components we use may become constrained, have longer lead times, or become more expensive. Consolidation among suppliers may reduce supply alternatives or alter our commercial relationships. In addition, reduced labor availability or public health concerns may further impact the supply chain.

~~Table~~Any of ~~Contents~~these factors could increase our manufacturing costs, impair our sourcing flexibility, delay our production schedules, and adversely affect our operating results. Additionally, our sales may be adversely impacted if tariffs or government trade actions restrict access to needed supplies.

We may lose sales if suppliers of raw materials, components or equipment fail to meet our or our customers' needs, increase prices, are impacted by increases in tariffs, or such raw materials, components or equipment become restricted or unavailable.

Our manufacturing operations require raw and processed materials and equipment that must meet exacting standards. We generally have multiple sources for these supplies, but there may be a limited number of suppliers capable of meeting our standards. We have experienced supply shortages from time to time in the past, and on occasion our suppliers have told us they need more time to fill our orders, that they cannot fill certain orders, that they will no longer support certain equipment with updates or parts, or that they are increasing prices. In particular, in fiscal 2023 and in fiscal 2022, we experienced increased prices at certain suppliers for certain materials required for production purposes. However, in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, the pricing environment stabilized compared to the two prior fiscal years. An interruption of any materials or equipment sources, or the lack of supplier support for a particular piece of equipment, could harm our business. The supplies necessary for our business could become more difficult to obtain as worldwide use of semiconductors increases, or due to supply chain disruptions, transit disruptions, trade restrictions or political instability. Additionally, consolidation in our supply chain due to mergers and acquisitions may reduce the number of suppliers or change our relationships with them. Also, the reduced availability of necessary labor, the application of sanctions, trade restrictions or tariffs by the U.S. or other countries or the impact of public health concerns, may adversely impact the industry supply chain. The U.S. has imposed additional tariffs on imports, and certain countries have imposed retaliatory tariffs on imports that have the U.S. as their country of origin. For example, in March and April 2025, the U.S imposed tariffs on imports from China and other countries and foreign governments imposed tariffs on imports from the U.S. It is unclear what tariffs will apply to semiconductors during this time of change.

Additional tariffs imposed on components, raw materials, or equipment may increase our costs and have an adverse impact on our operating results in future periods. We may also incur increases in manufacturing costs in mitigating the impact of tariffs on our operations. We will attempt to mitigate the impact of those tariffs on our business but may experience an increase in operating costs, impaired sourcing flexibility, and reduced demand for our products, resulting in reduced revenue.

Our customers may also be adversely affected by the tariffs and other issues described above. The labor, supplies and equipment necessary for their businesses could become more difficult to obtain for various reasons not limited to business interruptions of suppliers, reduced availability of labor, transit disruptions, consolidation in their supply chain, or sanctions, trade restrictions or tariffs or the impact of public health concerns that impair sourcing flexibility or increase costs. If our customers are not able to produce their products, then their need for our products will decrease. Such interruptions of our customers’ businesses could harm our business.

We do not, nor have we historically, purchased significant amounts of equipment from Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine. However, the semiconductor industry, and purchasers of semiconductors, use raw materials that are sourced from these regions, such as neon, palladium, cesium, rubidium, and nickel. If we, or our direct or indirect customers, are unable to obtain the requisite raw materials or components needed to manufacture products, our ability to manufacture products, or demand for our products, may be adversely impacted. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. While there has been an adverse impact on the world’s palladium, neon, cesium, and rubidium supply chains, at this time, our supply chains have been able to meet our needs. While sales of our products into Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and to customers that sell into these countries, have been negatively impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, at this time, we have not experienced a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial conditions. Further, because we do not support the actions of Russia against Ukraine, in March 2022 we stopped selling products to customers

Tariffs and ~~distributors~~trade ~~located~~restrictions also affect our customers. If customers face reduced availability of labor, materials, or components, whether due to trade restrictions, supplier disruptions, escalating shipping constraints, or public health issues, they may reduce or suspend production of their own products, leading to decreased demand for our products. For example, in ~~Russia~~2025, government actions involving Nexperia (including export control measures and ~~Belarus~~interventions affecting its operations and cross-border shipments) resulted in restricted availability of certain mature-node semiconductors (such as discrete devices and standard logic) that are widely used by automotive and consumer electronics manufacturers. As a result, some of our customers may experience shortages of these components which may reduce their production volumes and, in turn, reduce demand for our products. Any such customer side disruptions may negatively affect our revenue and operating results.

We may lose sales if critical materials from concentrated sources become restricted or subject to export controls.

Certain materials used in semiconductor manufacturing, including rare earth elements, minerals, and metals, are available from a limited number of countries. Geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, economic conditions, transit disruptions, public health concerns, or regulatory actions may affect the availability or cost of these materials. Although we do not purchase significant amounts of materials, components or equipment from Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine, the broader semiconductor industry relies on raw materials sourced from these regions - such as neon, palladium, cesium, rubidium, and nickel. Current U.S. restrictions on imports of certain metals of Russian origin highlight the risk that geopolitical events or sanctions may limit access to critical materials. If we or our suppliers cannot obtain necessary inputs at commercially reasonable prices or in adequate quantities, our ability to manufacture products - or customer demand for such products - may be adversely affected.

China is a predominant producer of many rare earth materials essential to the global electronics industry. In 2025, China imposed and later expanded export restrictions and licensing requirements on certain rare earth elements and related magnets. Although some restrictions were subsequently suspended for certain U.S. end‑users, future restrictions or renewed implementation could constrain global supply. If China further restricts exports or pressures other countries to do so, our suppliers may face shortages, longer lead times, or increased costs. Limited access to these materials could impair our ability to manufacture certain products, increase our production costs, or reduce our competitiveness relative to manufacturers with alternative supply sources. These constraints may also affect downstream customers; for example, export controls on rare earth magnets have previously led certain automotive manufacturers to temporarily suspend operations.

Any such impacts on our customers’ production levels may reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our operating results.

We are dependent on wafer foundries and other contractors, as are our SuperFlash and other licensees.

We rely on outside wafer foundries for a significant portion of our wafer fabrication needs. Specifically, during fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025, approximately 65% and 64%, respectively, of our net sales came from products that were produced at outside wafer foundries. We also use several contractors for a portion of the assembly and testing of our products. Specifically, during fiscal ~~2025~~2026, approximately 33% of our assembly requirements and 3331% of our test requirements were performed by third-party contractors compared to approximately 4133% of our assembly requirements and 2933% of our test requirements during fiscal ~~2024~~2025. ~~Due~~We tohave ~~the~~long-term ~~amount~~commitment ofcontracts ~~inventory~~with certain of our ~~products~~third-party ~~that~~suppliers weto ~~are~~help ~~holding,~~ensure that we ~~have~~receive ~~recently~~capacity ~~taken~~from ~~actions~~them to ~~decrease~~manufacture ~~our~~wafers ~~capacity~~and ~~allocation~~assemble ~~from~~and test our ~~wafer~~products.

This could result in excess inventory and inventory reserve charges that may negatively affect our ~~wafer~~gross ~~fabrication~~margin and results of operations. Additionally, if we have a need for greater manufacturing, assembly ~~and~~or test ~~subcontractors~~capacity in the future, or greater capacity for certain types of products, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the necessary allocation of capacity from our wafer foundries and other contractors with the process technologies that we need, or that such capacity will be available on acceptable terms. As our manufacturing subcontractors move to more advanced process technologies over time, we may find that they do not invest in some of the trailing edge process technologies on which a large portion of our products are manufactured. IfAs ~~this~~more ~~occurs,~~companies itfocus may limit the amounts of net sales that we can achieve or require us to make significant investments to be able to manufacture these products in our own facilities or at other foundries and assembly and testing contractors. We expect that our reliance on ~~third~~building ~~party~~leading ~~contractors~~edge ~~may increase over time as our business grows, and any inability to secure necessary external capacity could adversely affect our operating results. Transitioning production of~~ products ~~to new manufacturers may result in delayed product launches~~, reduced yields, or decreased product performance. If we encounter issues with product quality, insufficient capacity from a third-party manufacturer, or if we discontinue using a particular manufacturer or contractor, we may face challenges in securing an alternative supply for specific products in a timely manner. This could lead to significant delays in product shipments, potentially having an adverse impact on our ~~results of operations. If our reliance on third-party contractors increases over time, our inability to secure necessary external capacity could adversely affect our operating results.~~

In August 2022, the U.S. government passed the CHIPS Act to provide billions of dollars of cash incentives and a new investment tax credit to increase domestic manufacturing capacity in our industry. We expect to receive the cash benefit associated with the investment tax credit for qualifying capital expenditures in future periods and applied for other incentives provided by the legislation; however, we have not concluded negotiations with the U.S. Department of Commerce and there can be no assurance that we will pursue or receive any such other incentives, what the amount and timing of any incentive we receive will be, as to which other companies will receive incentives and whether the legislation will have a positive or negative impact on our competitive position. If we conclude our CHIPS Act negotiations and receive a CHIPS Act grant, the restrictions and operational requirements that are imposed on CHIPS Act grant recipients could add complexity to our operations and increase our costs.

Our use of third parties reduces our control over the subcontracted portions of our business. Our future operating results could suffer if a significant contractor were to experience production difficulties, insufficient capacity, decreased manufacturing, reduced availability of labor, assembly and test yields, or increased costs due to disruptions such as political upheaval, transit disruptions, infrastructure disruption or pandemics. Additionally, our future operating results could suffer if our wafer foundries and other contractors increase the prices of the products and services that they provide to us. If third parties do not timely deliver products or services in accordance with our quality standards, we may be unable to qualify alternate manufacturing sources in a timely manner or on favorable terms, or at all. Additionally, these subcontractors could abandon processes that we need, or fail to adopt technologies that we desire to control costs. In such event, we could experience an interruption in production, an increase in manufacturing costs or a decline in product reliability, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected. Further, use of subcontractors increases the risks of misappropriation of our intellectual property.

Table of Contents

manufacturing subcontractors are becoming capacity constrained in their ability to manufacture such products. These events may limit the amounts of net sales that we can achieve or require us to make significant investments to be able to manufacture these products in our own facilities or at other foundries and assembly and testing contractors, but we believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient capacity from our manufacturing subcontractors.

We expect that our reliance on third party contractors may increase over time as our business grows, and any inability to secure necessary external capacity could adversely affect our operating results. Transitioning production of products to new manufacturers may result in delayed product launches, reduced yields, or decreased product performance. If we encounter issues with product quality, insufficient capacity from a third-party manufacturer, or if we discontinue using a particular manufacturer or contractor, we may face challenges in securing an alternative supply for specific products in a timely manner. This could lead to significant delays in product shipments, potentially having an adverse impact on our results of operations. If our reliance on third-party contractors increases over time, our inability to secure necessary external capacity could adversely affect our operating results.

Certain of our SuperFlash and other technology licensees rely on wafer foundries. If our licensees experienced disruption in supply at such foundries, this would reduce the revenue from our technology licensing business and would harm our operating results.

Our operating results may be adversely impacted by the financial viability and performance of our licensees, customers, distributors, resellers or suppliers.

We regularly review the financial viability and performance of our licensees, customers, distributors, resellers and suppliers. Any downturn in global or regional economic conditions as a result of geopolitical conditions, broad sanctions or tariffs by the U.S. or other countries, high interest rates, high inflation, instability in the banking sector, public health concerns, industry work stoppages, transit stoppages or other factors, may adversely impact their financial viability. The financial decline of a large licensee, customer, reseller or distributor, an important supplier, or a group thereof, could have an adverse impact on our operating results and could result in our inability to collect our accounts receivable balances, higher allowances for credit losses, and higher operating costs as a percentage of net sales. Also, these parties may not comply with their contractual commitments, or may interpret them differently than we do, which could lead to termination of their performance with little or no notice to us, which could limit our ability to mitigate our exposure. If one of our counterparties becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, has business leverage, or favorable contractual terms, then our ability to recover any losses suffered as a result of that counterparty's cessation of performance may be limited by their liquidity, the applicable laws, or their willingness to negotiate a resolution. In the event of such default or cessation of performance, we could incur significant losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We have various arrangements with financial institutions for our cash deposits, and other banking activities, that subject us to risk if such institutions were to experience financial or regulatory difficulties. As a result, we may experience losses on our holdings of cash and cash equivalents due to failures of financial institutions or other related parties.

We are highly dependent on foreign sales, suppliers, and operations, which exposes us to foreign political and economic risks.

Sales to foreign customers account for a substantial portion of our net sales. During fiscal ~~2025~~2026, approximately 75% of our net sales were made to foreign customers, including 1718% in China and 1615% in Taiwan. During fiscal ~~2024~~2025, approximately 75% of our net sales were made to foreign customers, including 1817% in China, ~~12% in Taiwan~~ and 1016% in ~~Germany~~Taiwan.

Having a strong position in the Chinese market is a key component of our global growth strategy. Although our sales in the Chinese market were very strong in calendar 2021, competition in China is intense, and China's economic growth slowed in calendar 2022 and through the first half of calendar 2023. In fiscal 2024 and in fiscal 2025, economic weakness in the Chinese market adversely impacted our sales volumes in China. As discussed above, the trade relationship between the U.S. and China remains challenging and could worsen in 2025, economic conditions in China remain uncertain, and we are unable to predict whether such uncertainty will continue or worsen in future periods. The increase in tariffs on semiconductors and raw materials that have the U.S. as their country of origin could lower demand for our products in China and other countries. Further, increasing investment in the semiconductor industry by the Chinese government and various state-owned of affiliated entities are intended to advance China's stated national policy objectives. The Chinese government may restrict us from participating in the China market, or may prevent us from competing effectively with Chinese companies. Weakening of foreign markets, especially in China, has resulted in lower demand for our products, which has adversely impacted our revenue in recent quarters and, if such conditions continue, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial conditions.

We purchase a substantial portion of our raw materials and equipment from foreign suppliers. Please see the risks related to access to raw materials, components, or equipment on page 16. In addition, we own product assembly and testing facilities, and finished goods warehouses near Bangkok, Thailand, which has experienced periods of political instability and severe flooding in the past. There can be no assurance that any future flooding or political instability in Thailand would not have a material adverse impact on our operations. We have a test facility in Calamba, Philippines. We use foundries and other foreign contractors for a significant portion of our assembly and testing and wafer fabrication requirements. 18

the Chinese market have been strong in the past, competition in China is intense. Throughout fiscal 2024, fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, changes in the Chinese market adversely impacted our sales volumes in China. As discussed above, the trade relationship between the U.S. and China remains challenging and could worsen, economic conditions in China remain uncertain, and we are unable to predict whether such uncertainty will continue or worsen in future periods. Any increase in tariffs on semiconductors and raw materials that have the U.S. as their country of origin could lower demand for our products in China and other countries. For example, on September 13, 2025, China's Ministry of Commerce initiated an antidumping investigation of imports into China of analog semiconductors originating in the United States. While we were not a subject of this investigation and the Chinese government is expected to suspend these investigations pursuant to the latest trade deal with the U.S., the Chinese government may resume this investigation at its election. If this takes place, additional tariffs are likely to be imposed as a result of this investigation and could have an adverse impact on our revenue. Also, on April 13, 2026, China's State Council released a regulation intended to be a retaliatory measure to combat the extraterritorial application of foreign laws pertaining to trade controls, sanctions, and similar measures. This regulation may expose us to potential civil liability, administrative measures, and other remedial actions if the Chinese government determines that we caused harm by complying with certain foreign laws. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial conditions.

Further, increasing investment in the semiconductor industry by the Chinese government and various state-owned or affiliated entities are intended to advance China's stated national policy objectives. The Chinese government may restrict us from participating in the China market, or may prevent us from competing effectively with Chinese companies. Weakening of foreign markets, especially in China, has resulted in lower demand for our products, which has adversely impacted our revenue in the past and, if such conditions continue, it too could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial conditions.

We purchase a substantial portion of our raw materials and equipment from foreign suppliers. Please see the risks related to access to raw materials, components, or equipment on page 16. In addition, we own product assembly and testing facilities, and finished goods warehouses near Bangkok, Thailand, which has experienced periods of political instability and severe flooding in the past. There can be no assurance that any future flooding or political instability in Thailand would not have a material adverse impact on our operations. We have a test facility in Calamba, the Philippines, and specialized test and assembly facilities for our aerospace and defense products in Germany, France, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Thailand, and the United States. We use foundries and other foreign contractors for a significant portion of our assembly and testing and wafer fabrication requirements.

Our reliance on foreign operations, foreign suppliers, maintenance of substantially all of our finished goods inventory at foreign locations and significant foreign sales exposes us to foreign political and economic risks, including, but not limited to:

•economic uncertainty in the worldwide markets we serve;

•trade restrictions and changes in tariffs;

•political instability, including changes in relations between China and Taiwan which could disrupt the operations of our Taiwan-based third-party wafer foundries, and subcontractors;

•social and economic instability due to public health concerns, wars, or other factors;

•supply chain disruptions or delays;

•potentially adverse tax consequences;

•import and export license requirements and restrictions;

•changes in laws related to taxes, trade, environmental, health and safety, technical standards, climate change, and consumer protection;

•restrictions on the transfer of funds, including currency controls in China, which could negatively affect the amount and timing of certain customer payments, and as a results our cash flows;

•currency fluctuations and foreign exchange regulations;

•difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

•employment regulations;

•disruptions due to cybersecurity incidents;

•disruptions in international transport or delivery;

•public health conditions (including viral outbreaks such as COVID-19); and

•difficulties in collecting receivables and longer payment cycles.

If any of these risks occur or are worse than we anticipate, our sales could decrease and our operating results could suffer, we could face an increase in the cost of components, production delays, business interruptions, delays in obtaining export licenses, or denials of such licenses, tariffs and trade restrictions, longer payment cycles, increased taxes, restrictions on the repatriation of funds and the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws, any of which could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business. Further changes in trade policy, tariffs, additional taxes, or restrictions on supplies,

Our operations rely heavily on global logistics networks - including ocean freight, air freight, and long‑haul trucking - that depend on stable and cost‑effective fuel supplies. Significant increases in fuel costs, reductions in carrier capacity, or extended transit times could materially increase our transportation and distribution expenses. Shipping carriers may impose fuel surcharges, reroute vessels, reduce service frequency, or experience delays, each of which could impair our ability to obtain raw materials or deliver finished products to customers on expected timelines.

Because many of our semiconductor products support time‑critical applications in the automotive, industrial, communications, aerospace and defense, and consumer sectors, delays in obtaining critical materials or increases in logistics costs could negatively impact customer relationships and customers’ production schedules or purchasing decisions, reduce demand, and result in penalties under certain customer agreements. Prolonged or severe disruption - whether due to fuel shortages, materials constraints, logistics delays, or increased energy costs, or reduced customer demand - could adversely affect our ability to meet customer commitments and could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We depend on orders that are received and shipped in the same quarter and have limited visibility to product shipments other than orders placed under certain LTSAs.

Our net sales in any given quarter depend upon a combination of shipments from backlog, and orders that are both received and shipped in the same quarter, which we call turns orders. We measure turns orders at the beginning of a quarter based on the orders needed to meet the shipment targets that we set entering the quarter. Historically, our ability to respond quickly to customer orders has been part of our competitive strategy, resulting in customers placing orders with relatively short delivery schedules. Shorter lead times generally mean that turns orders as a percentage of our business are relatively high in any particular quarter and reduce our visibility on future shipments. Turns orders correlate to overall semiconductor industry conditions and product lead times, and in light of current industry conditions, turns orders are once again key to our ability to meet our business objectives. Because turns orders can be difficult to predict, especially in times of economic volatility and changes in tariffs, as experienced in current and recent quarters, where customers may change order levels within the quarter, varying levels of turns orders make it more difficult to forecast net sales. The level of turns orders has in the past and may in the future decrease in periods where customers are holding excess inventory of our products. As a significant portion of our products are manufactured at foundries, foundry lead times may affect our ability to satisfy certain turns orders. If we do not achieve a sufficient level of turns orders in a particular quarter relative to our revenue targets or effectively manage our production based on changes in order forecasts, our revenue and operating results will likely suffer.

Starting in the first quarter of calendar 2022, we began entering into LTSAs, which offer our customers the ability to receive prioritized capacity. LTSAs are not a guarantee of supply; however, they were designed to provide the highest priority for those orders which were under this program, and the capacity priority was on a first-come, first-served basis until the available capacity was booked. This program and increases in customer order levels outside of this program resulted in some customers holding excess inventory of our products and thus decreased their need to place new orders, including turns

Table of Contents

orders, in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024. Because we built inventories in response to customer demand, the cancellation or deferral of product orders resulted in excess inventory, which then resulted in write-downs of inventory and an adverse effect on our gross margins in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026.

Intense competition in the markets we serve may lead to pricing pressures, reduced sales or reduced market share.

The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive and faces price erosion and rapid technological change. We compete with major domestic and international semiconductor companies, many of which have greater market recognition and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we do. In addition, some governments, such as China, may provide, or have provided and may continue to provide, significant assistance financial or otherwise, to some of our competitors, or to new entrants, and may intervene in support of national industries and/or competitors, including totrying ~~try~~ to disrupt the U.S. semiconductor industry. The semiconductor industry has experienced significant consolidation ~~in recent years~~ which has resulted in several of our competitors becoming much larger in terms of revenue, product offerings and scale. We may be unable to compete successfully in the future, which could harm our business. Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

•changes in demand in the markets that we serve and the overall rate of growth or contraction of such markets, including but not limited to the automotive, personal computing and consumer electronics markets;

•our success in designing and manufacturing new products including those implementing new technologies, including AI, or complying with new governmental restrictions regarding implementation of new technologies;

•the rate at which customers incorporate our products into their applications and the success of such applications;

•product introductions by our competitors or by us in response to actions taken by our competitors;

•our ability to obtain adequate foundry and assembly and test capacity and supplies at acceptable prices;

Table of Contents

•our ability to ramp production and increase capacity as needed, at our wafer fabrication and assembly and test facilities;

•the quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use, pricing and diversity of our products;

•the rate at which the markets that we serve redesign and change their own products, including in response to market changes caused by developing technologies such as AI and other market forces;

•product introductions by our competitors;

•the number, nature and success of our competitors in a given market;

•our ability to protect our products and processes by effective utilization of intellectual property rights;

•our ability to address the needs of our customers;

•our ability to attract and retain talent, including talent with expertise in developing areas such as AI; and

•general market and economic conditions.

Historically, average selling prices in the semiconductor industry decrease over the life of a product. The average selling prices of our mixed-signal microcontroller, FPGA products, and proprietary products in our analog product line have remained relatively constant over time, while average selling prices of our memory and non-proprietary products in our analog product line have declined over time. The overall average selling price of our products is affected by these trends; however, variations in our product and geographic mix of sales can cause wider fluctuations in our overall average selling price in any given period.

We have experienced, and may experience in the future, ~~modest~~ pricing declines in certain of our proprietary product lines, primarily due to competitive conditions. In the past, we have moderated average selling price declines in many of our proprietary product lines by introducing new products with more features and higher prices and we were able to pass cost increases on to our customers in the form of higher price for our products. However, we may not be able to do so in the future. We have experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, competitive pricing pressures on our ~~memory and non-proprietary~~ products ~~in our analog product line~~. ~~In fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, we experienced cost increases which we were able to pass on to our customers.~~ However, in the future, we may be unable to maintain average selling prices due to an oversupply of product in the market or increased pricing pressure, including as a result of tariffs being applied to the products we sell or purchase, or actions taken by foreign governments such as China to favor companies located in their own country through tariffs or other actions, which could adversely impact our operating results.

We, and our competitors, seek to improve yields, and reduce die size, which could result in significant increases in worldwide supply and downward pressure on prices. Increases in worldwide supply of semiconductor products, if not accompanied by commensurate increases in demand, could lead to declines in average selling prices for our products, and could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Our operating results will suffer if we ineffectively utilize our manufacturing capacity or fail to maintain manufacturing yields.

Integrated circuit manufacturing processes are complex and sensitive to many factors, including contaminants in the manufacturing environment or materials used, the performance of our personnel and equipment, and other quality issues. As is typical in the industry, we have from time to time experienced lower than anticipated manufacturing yields. Our operating results will suffer if we are unable to maintain yields at or above approximately the current levels. This could include delays in the recognition of revenue, loss of revenue, and penalties for failure to meet shipment deadlines. Our operating results are adversely affected when we operate below normal capacity. In fiscal 2025 and in fiscal 2024, we operated at below normal capacity levels resulting in unabsorbed capacity charges of $173.0 million and $40.7 million, respectively. Additionally, as we are moving production between factories, we may experience lower than anticipated yields during this transition.

Our operating results are impacted by seasonality and wide fluctuations of supply and demand in the industry.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by seasonality and wide fluctuations of supply and demand. Historically, since a significant portion of our revenue is from international sales and consumer markets, our business generates stronger revenues in the first half and comparatively weaker revenues in the second half of our fiscal year. However, broad fluctuations in our business, changes in semiconductor industry and global economic conditions have had and can have a more significant impact on our results than seasonality. In periods when broad fluctuations, changes in business conditions or acquisitions occur, it is difficult to assess the impact of seasonality on our business. The semiconductor industry has had significant economic downturns (including in recent periods), characterized by diminished product demand and production over-capacity. We have sought to reduce our exposure to this industry cyclicality by selling proprietary products, that cannot be quickly replaced, to a geographically diverse customer base across a broad range of market segments. However, we have experienced substantial period-to-period fluctuations in operating results and expect, in the future, to experience period-to-period fluctuations in operating results due to general industry or economic conditions. In this regard, many of our customers felt the effects of slowing economic activity and increasing business uncertainty and customer requests to push-out or cancel backlog increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and in fiscal 2024 and adversely impacted our revenue in recent periods.

Table of Contents

Consistent with the slowing macroeconomic environment, and the growth in our inventory, we have paused our factory expansion actions at Fab 4 and Fab 5 and reduced our planned capital investments through fiscal 2026. We are unable to predict the duration or continued impact of the current or any future slowdown on our business.

Our business is dependent on distributors to service our end customers.

Sales to distributors accounted for approximately 45% of our net sales in fiscal 2025 and approximately 47% of our net sales in fiscal 2024. With the exception of certain orders placed under our LTSAs, we do not have long-term purchase agreements with our distributors, and we and our distributors may each terminate our relationship with little or no advance notice.

Future adverse conditions in the U.S. or global economies and labor markets or credit markets due to tariffs or other factors could materially impact distributor operations. Any deterioration in the financial condition, or disruption in the operations of our distributors, would likely adversely impact the flow of our products to our end customers and adversely impact our results of operation. In addition, during an industry or economic downturn (including in recent periods), there may be an oversupply and decrease in demand for our products, which could reduce our net sales in a given period, increase order push-outs, increase inventory returns, and cause us to carry elevated levels of inventory. For example, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, in fiscal 2024 and in fiscal 2025, we have accommodated requests by customers to push-out certain orders to help them manage inventory levels and, in some cases, to help other customers that are experiencing supply shortages. As a result of the foregoing, we have incurred charges in connection with obsolete or excess inventory, or we may not fully recover our costs, which would reduce our gross margins. Violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, export controls and sanction laws, or similar laws, by our distributors could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Our success depends on our ability to introduce new products on a timely basis.

Our future operating results depend on our ability to develop and timely introduce new products that compete effectively on the basis of price and performance and which address customer requirements. The success of our new product ~~introductions depends on various factors, including, but not limited to:~~

Table of Contents

introductions depends on various factors, including, but not limited to:

•understanding and predicting changes in the market segments that we serve, including changes driven by AI;

•effective new product selection;

•timely completion and introduction of new product designs, and the ability to produce these products at desired volumes, including those developed on more advanced technology nodes such as our first 3nm PCIe Gen 6 Switch;

•availability of skilled employees;

•procurement of licenses for intellectual property rights from third parties under commercially reasonable terms, including those that may be needed to offer interoperability between our products and third-party products;

•implementation of appropriate technical standards developed by standard setting organizations;

•timely filing and protection of intellectual property rights for new product designs;

•the level of competition for our new products and how the features and prices of our new products compare with competing products;

•availability of development and support tools and collateral literature that make complex new products easy for engineers to understand and use; and

•market acceptance of our customers' end products.

Because our products are complex, we have experienced delays from time to time in completing new product development. New products may not receive or maintain substantial market acceptance. We may be unable to timely design, develop and introduce competitive products, or produce them at desired volumes, which could adversely impact our future operating results.

Our success also depends upon our ability to develop and implement new design and process technologies. Semiconductor design and process technologies are subject to rapid technological change and require significant R&D expenditures. We and others in the industry have, from time to time, experienced difficulties in transitioning to advanced process technologies and have suffered reduced manufacturing yields or delays in product deliveries. Our future operating results could be adversely affected if any transition to future process technologies is substantially delayed or inefficiently implemented.

Our operating results will suffer if we ineffectively utilize our manufacturing capacity or fail to maintain manufacturing yields.

our business.

Our business is dependent on distributors to service our end customers.

Sales to distributors accounted for approximately 47% of our net sales in fiscal 2026 and approximately 45% of our net sales in fiscal 2025. With the exception of certain orders placed under our LTSAs, we do not have long-term purchase agreements with our distributors, and we and our distributors may each terminate our relationship with little or no advance notice.

Future adverse conditions in the U.S. or global economies, labor markets, or credit markets, whether resulting from tariffs or other factors, could materially impact distributor operations. Any deterioration in the financial condition, disruption in the operations of our distributors, or disruption of our ability to conduct business with our distributors would likely adversely impact the flow of our products to our end customers and adversely impact our results of operation. For example, on October 8, 2025, certain subsidiaries of Arrow Electronics (Arrow) were placed on the U.S. Department of Commerce Entity List. As a result, we could not ship or transfer products or other items that are governed by the U.S. Export Administration regulations (EAR) to those entities until they were removed from the Entity List. Nine days later, the U.S. Department of Commerce authorized Arrow and its subsidiaries to continue with certain transactions and indicated that Arrow and its subsidiaries would be removed from the Entity List. We worked to minimize disruptions in our supply chain during this period. There was no material impact to Microchip or its customers as a result of this interruption in shipments to certain subsidiaries of Arrow. In addition, during an industry or economic downturn (including in recent periods), there may be an oversupply and decrease in demand for our products, which could reduce our net sales in a given period, increase order push-outs, increase inventory returns, and cause us to carry elevated levels of inventory. For example, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, in fiscal 2024 and in fiscal 2025, we accommodated requests by end customers to push-out certain distributor orders to help them manage inventory levels and, in some cases, to help other end customers that are experiencing supply shortages. As a result of the foregoing, we incurred charges in connection with obsolete or excess inventory, or we may not fully recover our costs, which would reduce our gross margins. Violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, export controls and sanction laws, or similar laws, by our distributors could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Business interruptions to our operations or those of our key vendors, licensees or customers could harm our business.

Operations at any of our facilities, at the facilities of any of our wafer fabrication or assembly and test subcontractors, or at any of our significant vendors, licensees or customers may be disrupted due to public health concerns (including outbreaks such as COVID-19), work stoppages or reduction in available labor, power loss, insufficient water, cyber-attacks, computer network compromises, incidents of terrorism or security risk, tariffs, political instability, governmental actions, telecommunications, transportation or other infrastructure failure, radioactive contamination, adverse changes in climate, or fires, earthquakes, floods, droughts, volcanic eruptions or other natural disasters. We have taken steps to mitigate the impact of some of these events should they occur; however, we cannot be certain that we will avoid a significant impact on our business in the event of a business interruption. For example, in August 2024, we determined that an unauthorized party disrupted our use of certain servers and some of our business operations. As a result, certain of our manufacturing facilities were operating at less than normal levels for a period of time, and our ability to fulfill orders was temporarily impacted. While we were able to bring the affected portions of our IT systems back online and restore normal business operations in response to this August 2024 incident without a material impact to our business, we cannot be certain that we would be able to achieve this result in the event of another cyber incident. Separately, in the first three months of fiscal 2023 and in fiscal 2022, COVID-19 related restrictions adversely impacted our manufacturing operations in the U.S., the Philippines and Thailand along with our subcontractors' manufacturing operations in Malaysia, Taiwan and China. Similar challenges arose for our logistics service providers, which adversely impacted their ability to ship product to our customers. Any future pandemic could adversely impact our business in future periods if public health issues again becomes severe in one or more of our key markets such as China or in areas where our suppliers or manufacturing operations are located. In the future, local governments could require us to reduce production or cease operations at any of our facilities, and we could experience constraints in fulfilling customer orders. Likewise, if our licensees are unable to manufacture and ship products incorporating our technology, or if there is a decrease in product demand due to a business disruption, our royalty revenue may decline.

21Also, Thailand has experienced periods of severe flooding in recent years. While our facilities in Thailand have continued to operate normally, there can be no assurance that future flooding in Thailand would not have a material adverse impact on our operations. If operations at any of our facilities, or our subcontractors' facilities are interrupted, we may not be able to timely shift production to other facilities, and we may need to spend significant amounts to repair or replace our facilities and equipment. Business interruptions would likely cause delays in shipments of products to our customers, and alternate sources for production may be unavailable on acceptable terms. This could result in reduced revenues, cancellation of orders, or loss of customers. Although we maintain business interruption insurance, such insurance will likely not compensate us for

Additionally, operations at our customers and licensees may be disrupted for a number of reasons. In April and May 2020, we received a greater number of order cancellations and requests by our customers to reschedule deliveries to future dates. Some customers requested order cancellations within our firm order window and claimed applicability of force majeure clauses due to the impact of COVID-19. Likewise, if our licensees are unable to manufacture and ship products incorporating our technology, or if there is a decrease in product demand due to a business disruption, our royalty revenue may decline.

Also, Thailand has experienced periods of severe flooding in recent years. While our facilities in Thailand have continued to operate normally, there can be no assurance that future flooding in Thailand would not have a material adverse impact on our operations. If operations at any of our facilities, or our subcontractors' facilities are interrupted, we may not be able to timely shift production to other facilities, and we may need to spend significant amounts to repair or replace our facilities and equipment. Business interruptions would likely cause delays in shipments of products to our customers, and alternate sources for production may be unavailable on acceptable terms. This could result in reduced revenues, cancellation of orders, or loss of customers. Although we maintain business interruption insurance, such insurance will likely not compensate us for any losses or damages, and business interruptions could significantly harm our business. For more information on adverse climate change see our risk "Sustained adverse climate change poses risks that could harm our results of operations" on page 36.

Our technology licensing business exposes us to various risks.

Our technology licensing business is based on our SuperFlash and other technologies. The success of our licensing business depends on the continued market acceptance of these technologies and on our ability to further develop such technologies, to introduce new technologies, and to enforce our license terms. To be successful, any such technology must be able to be repeatably implemented by licensees, provide satisfactory yield rates, address licensee and customer requirements, and perform competitively. The success of our technology licensing business depends on various other factors, including, but not limited to:

•proper identification of licensee requirements;

•timely development and introduction of new or enhanced technology;

•our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights for our licensed technology, and enforce the terms of our licenses;

•our ability to limit our liability and indemnification obligations to licensees;

•availability of development and support services to assist licensees in their design and manufacture of products;

•availability of foundry licensees with sufficient capacity to support OEM production; and

•market acceptance of our customers' end products.

Because our licensed technologies are complex, there may be delays from time to time in developing and enhancing such technologies. There can be no assurance that our existing or any enhanced or new technology will achieve or maintain substantial market acceptance. Our licensees may experience disruptions in production or reduced production levels which would adversely affect the revenue that we receive. Our technology license agreements generally include a clause that indemnifies the licensee against liability and damages (including legal defense costs) arising from certain intellectual property matters. We could be exposed to substantial liability for claims or damages related to intellectual property matters or indemnification claims. We have a program to audit the royalty payments made by our licensees to help ensure that the payments are in accordance with the terms of the applicable license agreements. From time to time, we or our licensees have contested the amount of royalty payments and related claims have resulted and could result in significant legal fees and require significant attention from our management. These issues may adversely impact the success of our licensing business and adversely affect our future operating results.

contested the amount of royalty payments and related claims have resulted and could result in significant legal fees and require significant attention from our management. These issues may adversely impact the success of our licensing business and adversely affect our future operating results.

Sales into governmental projects, and compliance with associated regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

A significant portion of our sales are from or are derived from government agencies or customers who sell to U.S. or foreign government agencies. Such sales are subject to federal contracting regulations as well as uncertainties regarding governmental spending levels, spending priorities, regulatory and policy changes. Future sales into U.S. or foreign government projects are subject to uncertain government appropriations and national defense policies and priorities, including the budgetary process, changes in the timing and spending priorities, the impact of any past or future government shutdowns, contract terminations or renegotiations, future sequestrations, changes in regulations that we must comply with to be eligible to accept new contracts, such as the U.S. Department of War's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program requirements, or the impact of pandemics. ~~For example, in fiscal 2022, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced suspensions and stop work orders for some of our subcontracts.~~ Additionally, a section in the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act offor Fiscal Year 2023 (the ~~NDAA~~FY2023 ~~2023~~NDAA), signed into law on December 23, 2022, with provisions that go into effect in December 2027, prohibits U.S. government agencies from buying semiconductor products or services manufactured by SMIC, YMTC, CXMT and any other entity that the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Commerce determine is owned, controlled, or connected to the government of a foreign country of concern (Prohibited Companies). Some of our products are manufactured at SMIC, and some of our suppliers buy products manufactured at YMTC. If we are unable to alternately source or manufacture certain of our products, or discontinue use of products from Prohibited Companies, if any, when Section 5949 of the FY2023 NDAA ~~2023~~go ~~goes~~ into effect in December 2027, this could adversely impact our sales to U.S. government agencies and their prime customers. Although such actions have not yet had a material adverse impact on our business, there can be no assurance as to the future costs or implications of such actions. Sales into government projects are also subject to uncertainties related to monetary, regulatory, and tax and trade policies implemented by current or future administrations ~~or by the U~~.~~S. Congress.~~

Delays, reductions in or terminations of government contracts or subcontracts, including those caused by any past, current, or future shutdown of the U.S. federal ~~government~~or foreign governments, could materially and adversely affect our operating results. ~~If,~~During inany ~~the~~ future, ~~the U.S.~~ government ~~fails to complete its annual budget process, provide for a continuing resolution to fund government operations or increase the federal debt limit, another federal government~~ shutdown ~~may occur~~, ~~during which~~ we may experience ~~further~~ delays, reductions in or terminations of government purchases, contracts or subcontracts, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results. While we generally function as a subcontractor in these type of transactions, further changes in U.S. government procurement regulations and practices, particularly surrounding initiatives to reduce costs or increase compliance obligations (such as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification), may adversely impact the contracting environment, our ability to hire and retain employees, and our operating results.

The U.S. government and its contractors may terminate their contracts with us at any time. Uncertainty in government spending and termination of contracts for government related projects could have a material adverse impact on the revenue from our government related business. Our contracts with U.S. governmental agencies or prime customers require us to comply with the contract terms, and governmental regulations, particularly for our facilities, systems and personnel that service such customers and related to handling of government-regulated data. To be awarded new contracts, we may be required to meet certain levels of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certifications that we may not meet, or may choose not to meet. We are also required to have facility security clearances to perform classified contracts and to build and sell classified products for U.S. governmental agencies. These clearances are subject to the requirements and regulations including the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual that governs the protection of classified information released or disclosed in connection with the performance of classified government contracts. We must also comply with regulations regarding the handling of controlled unclassified information and export-controlled data. Complying with these regulations, including audit requirements, requires that we devote significant resources to such matters in terms of training, personnel, information technology and facilities. The increased cost of compliance may adversely affect our operating results. Any failure to comply with these requirements and regulations may result in fines and penalties, or loss of current or future business including our ability to continue as a supplier to U.S. governmental agencies and its contractors and may materially and adversely affect our operating results.24

From time to time we receive grants from governments, agencies and research organizations, or enter into tax arrangements. If we are unable to comply with the terms of those grants or arrangements, we may not be able to receive or recognize benefits or we may be required to repay benefits, recognize related charges, or could be required to implement

From time to time, we have received, and may in the future receive, economic incentive grants, tax benefits, and allowances from national, state and local governments, agencies and research organizations targeted at increasing employment, production or investment at specific locations. Tax arrangements and subsidy grant agreements typically contain economic incentive, headcount, capital and research and development expenditures and other covenants that must be met to receive and retain benefits, and these programs can be subjected to periodic review by the relevant governments. Regulations associated with government grants may contain certain restrictions on grant recipient technology licensing activities and the expansion of certain facilities. Compliance with these restrictions could add complexity to our operations and increase our costs. In addition, noncompliance with the conditions of the grants or arrangements could result in our forfeiture of all or a portion of any future amounts to be received, as well as the repayment of all or a portion of amounts received to date. We may be unable to obtain future incentives to continue to fund a portion of our capital expenditures and operating costs, without which our cost structure would be adversely impacted. Further, any decrease in amounts received could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of our completed or future acquisitions or divestitures.

We have acquired, and expect in the future to acquire, additional businesses that we believe will complement or augment our existing businesses. ~~In May 2018, we acquired Microsemi, which was our largest and most complex acquisition ever.~~ Integration of our acquisitions is complex and may be costly and time consuming and include unanticipated issues, expenses and liabilities. We may not successfully or profitably integrate, operate, maintain and manage any newly acquired operations or employees. We may not be able to maintain uniform standards, procedures and policies. We may not realize the expected synergies and cost savings from the integration. There may be increased risk due to integrating financial reporting and internal control systems. It may be difficult to develop, manufacture and market the products of a newly acquired company, or grow the business at the rate we anticipate. There may be increased risk associated with the activities of the acquired company such as regulatory violations related to their use of AI in their operations, technology development or product offerings or ~~cyber~~cybersecurity ~~security~~or data governance risks. Following an acquisition, we may not achieve the revenue or net income levels that justify the acquisition. We may suffer loss of key employees, customers and strategic partners of acquired companies and it may be difficult to implement our corporate culture at acquired companies. We have been and may in the future be subject to claims from terminated employees, stockholders of Microchip or the acquired companies and other third parties related to the transaction. In particular, in connection with our Microsemi and Atmel acquisitions, we became involved with third-party claims, litigation, governmental investigations and disputes related to such businesses and transactions. Acquisitions may also result in charges (such as acquisition-related expenses, write-offs, restructuring charges, or future impairment of goodwill), contingent liabilities, adverse tax consequences, additional share-based compensation expense and other charges that adversely affect our operating results. To fund our acquisition of Microsemi, we used a significant portion of our cash balances and incurred approximately $8.10 billion of additional debt. We may fund future acquisitions of new businesses or strategic alliances by utilizing cash, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, issuing Commercial Paper, raising debt, issuing shares of our common stock, or other mechanisms.

Further, if we decide to divest assets or a business, it may be difficult to find or complete divestiture opportunities or alternative exit strategies, which may include site closures, timely or on acceptable terms. These circumstances could delay the achievement of our strategic objectives or cause us to incur additional expenses with respect to the desired divestiture, or the price or terms of the divestiture may be less favorable than we had anticipated. Even following a divestiture or other exit strategy, we may have certain continuing obligations to former employees, customers, vendors, landlords or other third parties. We may also have continuing liabilities related to former employees, assets or businesses. Such obligations may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.25

certain of our prior acquisitions, we became involved with third-party claims, litigation, governmental investigations and disputes related to such businesses and transactions. Acquisitions may also result in charges (such as acquisition-related expenses, write-offs, restructuring charges, or future impairment of goodwill), contingent liabilities, adverse tax consequences, additional share-based compensation expense and other charges that adversely affect our operating results. We may fund future acquisitions of new businesses or strategic alliances by utilizing cash, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, issuing Commercial Paper, raising debt, issuing shares of our common stock, or other mechanisms.

Further, when we divest assets or a business, it may be difficult to find or complete divestiture opportunities or alternative exit strategies, which may include site closures, timely or on acceptable terms. These circumstances could delay the achievement of our strategic objectives or cause us to incur additional expenses with respect to the desired divestiture, or the price or terms of the divestiture may be less favorable than we had anticipated. Even following a divestiture or other exit strategy, we may have certain continuing obligations to former employees, customers, vendors, landlords or other third parties. We may also have continuing liabilities related to former employees, assets or businesses. Such obligations and liabilities may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to acquisitions, we have in the past, and expect in the future, to enter into joint development agreements or other strategic relationships with other companies. These transactions are subject to a number of risks similar to those we face with our acquisitions including our ability to realize the expected benefits of any such transaction, to successfully market and sell products resulting from such transactions or to successfully integrate any technology developed through such transactions.

As a result of our acquisition activity our goodwill and intangible assets increased significantly and we may in the future incur impairments to goodwill or intangible assets.

When we acquire a business, a substantial portion of the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price which is allocated to goodwill is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. As of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, we had goodwill of $6.6870 billion and net intangible assets of $2.03 billion. We review our indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, for impairment annually in the fourth fiscal quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets is more likely than not impaired. Factors that may be considered in assessing whether goodwill or intangible assets may be impaired include a decline in our stock price or market capitalization, reduced estimates of future cash flows and slower growth rates in our industry. Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on experience and to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance. Because we operate in highly competitive environments, projections of our future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from our actual results. Through March 31, 2026, we have never recorded a goodwill impairment charge. There were no material intangible asset impairment charges fiscal 2026. If in future periods, we determine that our goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we will be required to write down these assets which would have a negative effect on our consolidated financial statements.

If in future periods, we determine that our goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we will be required to write down these assets which would have a negative effect on our consolidated financial statements.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control and remediate any future control deficiencies, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and our reputation with investors.

We have in the past identified a material weakness in our internal controls related to accounting for income taxes and we also identified a material weakness in our internal controls related to IT system access. Although such material weaknesses were remediated in fiscal 2020, there can be no assurance that similar control issues will not be identified in the future. If we cannot remediate future material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner, or if we identify additional control deficiencies that individually or together constitute significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, our ability to accurately record, process, and report financial information and our ability to prepare financial statements within required time periods, could be adversely affected. Failure to maintain effective internal controls could result in violations of applicable securities laws, stock exchange listing requirements, and the covenants under our debt agreements, subject us to litigation and investigations, negatively affect investor confidence in our financial statements, and adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets.

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which requires an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors. In addition to the identified material weaknesses related to accounting for income taxes and to IT system access, which were remediated as of March 31, 2020, we have from time to time identified other significant deficiencies. If we fail to remediate any future material weaknesses or significant deficiencies or to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, harm our ability to operate our business and reduce the trading price of our stock.

Customer demands for us to implement business practices that are more stringent than legal requirements may reduce our revenue opportunities or cause us to incur higher costs.

Some of our customers require that we implement practices that are more stringent than those required by applicable laws with respect to labor requirements, the materials contained in our products, energy efficiency, environmental impact or other items. To comply with such requirements, we may require our suppliers to adopt such practices. Our suppliers may in the future refuse to implement these practices, or may charge us more for complying with them. If certain of our suppliers refuse to implement the practices, we may be forced to source from alternate suppliers. The cost to implement such practices may cause us to incur higher costs and reduce our profitability, and if we do not implement such practices, such customers may disqualify us as a supplier, resulting in decreased revenue opportunities. Developing, enforcing, and auditing customer-requested practices at our own sites and in our supply chain will increase our costs and may require more personnel.

We must attract and retain qualified personnel to be successful, and competition for qualified personnel has intensified.

WeOur ~~must~~business relies on our ability to attract and retain qualified ~~personnel~~employees toacross bevarious ~~successful~~functions, ~~and~~including ~~competition~~management, ~~for~~technical, ~~qualified~~marketing, ~~personnel~~sales, research and ~~available~~development, ~~labor~~manufacturing, ~~may~~and ~~intensify~~operations. Competition for qualified personnel has intensified for a variety of reasons, including the high demand for employees in rapidly developing fields such as AI, the increase in work-from-home arrangements, ~~the~~and increases in minimum wages and wage inflation in our industry. Our failure to attract and retain hardware and software engineers, as well as sales and ~~the~~marketing personnel, could delay product development and introduction, thereby adversely affecting our net sales. We depend on a direct labor force at our manufacturing facilities, and any inability to maintain this workforce could adversely affect our operations. This could lead to delays in production and shipments, hinder our ability to meet customer demand, ~~for~~and ~~employees~~ultimately ~~with~~adversely ~~expertise~~impact our business, financial condition, and operational results. As the use and integration of AI becomes more prevalent, there is an anticipated shift in ~~developing~~the ~~fields~~skills ~~such~~required aswithin the workforce, making AI literacy increasingly important for our employees. These competitive pressures and the resulting wage inflation may increase our labor costs and adversely impact our operational results.

25In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we implemented a global reduction of our work force, which we completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. That reduction in force may have negatively affected employee morale and could diminish our attractiveness as an employer. If we lose existing qualified personnel or are unable to hire new qualified personnel, as needed, it could impair our ability to compete effectively.

Our business relies on the ability to attract and retain skilled employees across various functions, including management, technical, marketing, sales, research and development, manufacturing, and operations. Our failure to attract and retain hardware and software engineers, as well as sales and marketing personnel, could delay product development and introduction, thereby adversely affecting our net sales. We depend on a direct labor force at our manufacturing facilities, and any inability to maintain this workforce could adversely affect our operations. This could lead to delays in production and shipments, hinder our ability to meet customer demand, and ultimately adversely impact our business, financial condition, and operational results. As the integration of AI becomes more prevalent, there is an anticipated shift in the skills required within the workforce, making AI literacy increasingly important for our employees. Competition for personnel with AI expertise may be intense and costly.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we began a global reduction of our work force that could negatively affect employee morale, and diminish our attractiveness as an employer. If we lose existing qualified personnel or are unable to hire new qualified personnel, as needed, it could impair our ability to compete effectively.

Furthermore, changes in immigration laws and regulations, or more robust enforcement of new or existing laws, may hinder our ability to attract and retain qualified engineering personnel. In the U.S., where a portion of our research and development teams are based, stricter immigration controls could adversely affect the employment status of non-U.S. engineers and other key technical employees, as well as our ability to hire new non-U.S. employees. U.S. immigration policies may also make it more challenging to recruit and retain highly skilled foreign national graduates from U.S. universities.

Our success depends on the contributions of our senior management team. We have experienced transitions with respect to certain members of our senior management due to retirements or other reasons in the past and may do so in the future. Effective succession planning is important for our long-term success and we have a program designed to address this risk. Because we have no employment agreements with our U.S. senior management team, they could leave with little or no notice, which could make it more difficult for us to execute our planned business strategy. The inability to find suitable replacements for senior management could harm our ability to implement our business strategy and respond to the rapidly changing market conditions in which we operate.

The occurrence of events for which we are self-insured, or which exceed our insurance limits, may adversely affect our profitability and liquidity.

We have insurance coverage related to many different types of risk; however, we self-insure for some potentially significant risks and obligations, because we believe that it is more cost effective for us to self-insure than to pay the high premium costs. The risks and exposures that we self-insure include, but are not limited to, employee health matters, certain property matters, product defects, cybersecurity matters, employment risks, environmental matters, political risks, and intellectual property matters. Should there be a loss or adverse judgment in an area for which we are self-insured, then our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity may be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Products, Privacy, Intellectual Property, and Litigation

We continue to be the target of attacks on our IT systems. Interruptions in and unauthorized access to our IT systems, security breaches or incidents impacting our systems or data that we or our service providers maintain or otherwise process including data belonging to us, or our customers, suppliers, contractors or employees, could adversely affect our business.

We rely on the uninterrupted operation of complex IT systems and networks to operate our business. Any improper handling of confidential data, or significant disruption to our systems or networks, including, but not limited to, any that may relate to new system implementations, computer viruses, security breaches or incidents, cyber-attacks, ransom-style attacks, theft or tampering, inadvertent error, facility issues, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication failures or energy blackouts, security breaches or incidents in our customers’ or third-party providers’ networks, in third-party products we use, or in cloud-based services provided to, by, or enabled by us, or any data we or our service providers maintain or otherwise process, including but not limited to, data belonging to us or our customers, suppliers, contractors or employees, or any perception any of the foregoing has occurred, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operations, supply chain, sales and operating results, result in regulatory inquiries, investigations or other proceedings against us, result in claims, demands and litigation against us, or damage our reputation. Such improper handling of confidential data, or system or network disruption, or any cyber-attack or other means of effectuating a security breach or incident, could result in loss, unavailability or ~~unavailability~~compromise of all or a portion of our systems and business operations, and a loss, unavailability, an unauthorized release of, or other unauthorized use or processing of, personal data, or our suppliers’ or our customers’ intellectual property or confidential, proprietary or sensitive information. Any such matter, or any perception that it has occurred, could harm our business or competitive position, result in a loss of customer confidence, and cause us to incur significant costs to remedy the damages, and may result in lower revenue, lower margins, regulatory investigations, inquiries or other proceedings, enforcement actions, remediation obligations, claims for damages, litigation, and fines, penalties, damages, other liabilities, and other sanctions.

We have experienced and continue to experience verifiable attacks on our IT systems and data, including network compromises, attempts to breach our security measures and attempts to introduce malicious software into our IT systems. For example, in August 2024, we determined that an unauthorized party disrupted our use of certain servers and some of our business operations. As a result, certain of our manufacturing facilities were operating at less than normal levels for a period of time, and our ability to fulfill orders was temporarily impacted. While we were able to bring the affected portions of our IT systems back online and restore normal business operations in response to this August 2024 incident without a material impact to our business, we cannot be certain that we would be able to achieve this result in the event of another cyber-attack. We routinely evaluate the effectiveness of the containment mechanisms that we have implemented and continue to implement additional measures. We analyzed the information that was compromised in August 2024 and we do not believe that this cyber incident has had a material adverse effect on our business or resulted in any material damage to us. New information can develop that may impact our assessment of cyber events, including information learned as we develop and deploy mitigations.

Due to the types of products we sell and the significant amount of sales we make to government agencies or customers whose principal sales are to U.S. government agencies, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience in the future, attacks on our IT systems and data, including attempts to breach our security, network compromises and attempts to introduce malicious software into our IT systems. Geopolitical events and tensions may increase these risks. ~~Also,~~ as AI continues to evolve, cyber-attackers could use AI to develop malicious code, sophisticated phishing attempts, and convincing deep fakes. A deep fake is a manipulation of our content or the voices or images of our leaders to maliciously publish false messages that appear to be authentic. Such messages may harm our reputation, which may in turn have an adverse impact on our revenue and profits, and reduce the trading price of our stock. A threat could also be introduced by our or our customers and business partners use of AI tools. The output of these tools may include threats such as introducing malicious code when AI generated source code is incorporated into products or systems. Were any future attacks to be successful, or through the unintentional introduction of security vulnerability due to AI usage, we may be unaware of the incident, its magnitude, or its effects until significant harm is done. More generally, we may face significant delays in identifying, remediating, and otherwise responding to any interruption, disruption, security breach or incident.

In recent years, we have regularly implemented improvements to our protective measures that have included, but have not been limited to, implementation of the following: firewalls, endpoint intrusion detection and response software, regular ~~patches~~vulnerability scanning and risk-based remediation, automated patching, log monitors, AI-assisted event correlation tools, network segmentation, routine backups with offsite retention of storage media, system audits, dual factor identification, data partitioning and encryption, privileged account segregation and monitoring, routine password modifications, and an enhanced information security program including training classes and phishing exercises for employees and contractors with system access, along with tabletop exercises conducted by information security personnel. As a result of the material weakness in our internal controls resulting from the IT systems compromise that we experienced in fiscal 2019, we have taken remediation actions and implemented additional controls and we are continuing to take actions to attempt to address evolving threats. However, our system improvements have not been fully effective in preventing attacks on our IT systems and data, including breaches of our security measures, and there can be no assurance that any future system improvements will be effective in preventing cyber-attacks or disruptions, a ransom-style attack, or limiting the damage from any cyber-attacks or disruptions. Our ability to recover from ransomware and other ransom-style attacks may be limited if our backups have been affected by the attack, or if restoring data from backups is delayed or not feasible. Our system improvements have resulted in increased costs to us and we may be required to dedicate additional expenditures and resources to making system improvements and otherwise addressing cybersecurity matters in the future, whether in response to any disruption, interruption, breach, incident or otherwise. Further, any future improvements, attacks or disruptions could result in additional costs related to rebuilding our internal systems, defending litigation, complaints or other claims, providing notices to regulatory agencies or other third parties, responding to regulatory inquiries, actions or other proceedings, or paying damages, fines or penalties. Such attacks or disruptions could have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and financial results. Furthermore, our efforts to comply with evolving laws and regulations related to cybersecurity, such as SEC rules requiring disclosure of a material cybersecurity incident, may be costly and any actual or alleged failure to comply could result in investigations, proceedings, investor lawsuits and reputational damage.

In addition, employees and former employees, in particular former employees who become employees of our competitors, customers, licensees, or other third parties, including state actors, have in the past and may in the future misappropriate, wrongfully use, publish, access, process or provide to our competitors, customers, licensees or other third 28

Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our cybersecurity practices or measures. We do not have insurance coverage specifically for cybersecurity matters. Other types of insurance coverage that we do have may not be adequate or sufficient to protect us from or to mitigate liabilities arising out of our cybersecurity practices or measures or otherwise relating to any cybersecurity breach or incident, and we cannot be sure that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that such coverage will pay future claims.

We face significant and evolving risks related to AI across our products, operations, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, confidential information, privacy, workforce, customer transactions, and customer demand, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

Market dynamics and our product strategy are increasingly influenced by AI. Our ability to design, develop and timely introduce competitive products and processes - including those implementing new technologies such as AI, or complying with new governmental restrictions regarding implementation of new technologies - may be affected by how quickly we and our customers adapt to market changes driven by AI, and by the rate at which the markets we serve redesign and change their own products in response to AI and other market forces. Failure to respond timely could impair our competitive position, reduce design wins and sales, and negatively affect our margins.

Demand for AI-related products is subject to concentration and investment-cycle risk, and any slowdown or shift in AI spending could reduce demand for our products, pressure margins, and adversely affect our operating results.

AI also amplifies cybersecurity threats. As AI and machine learning evolve, they may lead to the development of dramatically more effective security tools, and cyber‑attackers may leverage these tools to enhance attack methods, identify novel security vulnerabilities, develop malicious code, sophisticated phishing attempts, and convincing deep fakes that manipulate our content or the voices or images of our leaders. Threats may also be introduced by our employees', our customers’, or our partners’ use of AI tools, including where AI‑generated source code incorporated into products or systems introduces malicious code or security vulnerabilities. We may be unaware of an incident, its magnitude or its effects until significant harm is done.

Table of Contents

Our internal and partner use of AI tools presents further risks. Employees, consultants or partners may use AI tools in a manner posing risks to proprietary, confidential or regulated information and to intellectual property rights. The use of AI tools may result in allegations or claims relating to violation of third‑party IP rights, unauthorized access to or use or processing of proprietary, confidential or personal information, failure to comply with open‑source software requirements, or other legal or contractual obligations. AI tools may also generate unreliable, inaccurate, inferential, unexplainable or biased outputs that could lead to errors in decision‑making, product development or other business activities.

Our products and intellectual property may face heightened security, safety and reliability risks when used in AI‑enabled applications, including in the cloud, IoT, automotive and other emerging use cases. Security vulnerabilities in our products, industry‑standard specifications, or licensed intellectual property may be exploited, and we or our customers may not promptly detect or fully assess the impact of such vulnerabilities. These risks could result in reduced demand, adverse publicity, remediation costs, customer claims, litigation or regulatory scrutiny.

AI‑related laws, regulations and national and regional governmental policies are rapidly evolving and inconsistent across jurisdictions. New and existing frameworks in the United States, the European Union and China - including the EU AI Act’s risk‑based approach - may impose additional compliance, transparency, conformity assessment, monitoring or usage‑restriction obligations on AI‑enabled products. Conflicting regulatory requirements across jurisdictions increase compliance complexity and costs, and failure or perceived failure to comply could result in fines, penalties, investigations, restrictions on product offerings, reputational harm, or lost sales or talent.

We also face AI‑related risks in acquisitions and strategic relationships, including regulatory violations or cybersecurity risks arising from an acquired company’s or partner’s use of AI. In addition, competition for talent with AI expertise has intensified, and our ability to attract, retain and train personnel with appropriate AI skills and literacy is critical to our innovation and product roadmap.

Uncertainty in intellectual property law relating to works created using AI technology may result in changing or inconsistent IP protections, which could adversely affect our ability to protect or commercialize innovations developed with AI. Collectively, these AI‑related risks could lead to operational disruption, increased costs, reputational harm, loss of market share, reduced revenue and margins, and adverse impacts on our financial condition and stock price.

We face risks related to security vulnerabilities in our products.

Our products, or IP that we purchase or license from third parties for use in our products, as well as industry-standard specifications that we implement in our products, may be subject to security vulnerabilities. ~~And,~~While ~~while~~ some of our products contain encryption or security algorithms to protect third-party content or user-generated data stored on our products, and we receive and process alerts regarding potential security vulnerabilities in our products through our public facing Product Security Incident Response Team, these products could still be hacked or the encryption schemes could be compromised, breached, or circumvented by motivated and sophisticated attackers, including attackers using powerful new AI-driven technologies. Our products are being used in application areas that create new or increased cybersecurity, privacy or safety risks including applications that gather and process data, such as the cloud or ~~Internet~~IoT, ofautomotive ~~Things~~applications, and ~~automotive~~ applications that use AI. We, our customers, and the users of our products may not promptly learn of or have the ability to fully assess the magnitude or effects of a vulnerability, including the extent, if any, to which a vulnerability has been exploited. Additionally, new information can develop that may impact our assessment of a security vulnerability, including information learned as we develop and deploy mitigations, or become aware of additional variants or evaluate the competitiveness of products. The increasing use of our products in interconnected, autonomous, safety‑critical, defense‑related, and AI‑enabled systems may expose security vulnerabilities beyond traditional software exploits, including firmware, embedded functionality, or interactions with third‑party systems, which may only become apparent after large‑scale deployment.

Security vulnerabilities and any limitations of, or adverse effects resulting from, mitigation techniques can adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, sales, customer relationships, share price, prospects, and reputation in a number of ways, any of which may be material. Adverse publicity about security vulnerabilities or mitigations could damage our reputation with customers or users and reduce demand for our products and services. These effects may be greater to the extent that competing products are not susceptible to the same vulnerabilities or if vulnerabilities can be more effectively mitigated in competing products. Moreover, third parties can release information regarding potential vulnerabilities of our products before mitigations are available. This, in turn, could lead to attempted or successful exploits of vulnerabilities, adversely affect our ability to introduce mitigations, or otherwise harm our business and reputation.

~~We face risks to our business and proprietary confidential information due to use of AI.~~30

We limit our employees’ use of third-party and open-source AI tools, such as ChatGPT, in accordance with our internal guidelines and procedures. However, the internal governance of the use of these technologies can be challenging, and our employees and consultants may use these tools on an unauthorized basis and our partners may use these tools, which poses additional risks relating to the protection of data, including the potential exposure of our proprietary confidential or other controlled information to unauthorized recipients and the misuse of our or third-party intellectual property. Use of AI tools may result in allegations or claims against us related to violation of third-party intellectual property rights, unauthorized access to or use of proprietary information, failure to comply with open-source software requirements, and failure to comply with actual or asserted legal or other obligations. AI tools may also produce inaccurate responses that could lead to errors in our decision-making, product development or other business activities, which could have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our ability to mitigate these risks will depend on our continued effective

~~Concerns~~Issues relating to the ~~responsible~~ use of our technologies, including ~~new and evolving technologies such as~~ AI, ~~in our internal operations, products and services~~ may result in reputational or financial harm and liability ~~and may cause us to incur costs to resolve such issues~~. AI poses emerging legal, social, and ethical issues and presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. If we enable or offer solutions that draw controversy due to their perceived or actual impact on society, such as AI solutions that have unintended consequences, infringe copyright or rights of publicity, or are controversial because of their impact on human rights, privacy, employment or other social, economic or political issues, or if we are unable to develop effective internal policies and frameworks relating to the responsible development and use of AI enabling products, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability. Complying with regulations from different jurisdictions related to AI could increase our cost of doing business, may change the way that we operate in certain jurisdictions, or may impede our ability to use AI in our internal operations or offer certain products and services in certain jurisdictions if we are unable to comply with regulations. Compliance with existing and proposed government regulation of AI, including in jurisdictions such as the EU, may also increase the cost of related research and development, and create additional reporting and/or transparency requirements. New and updated AI regulations could impose onerous obligations that may disadvantage us and require us to change our business practices, which may negatively impact our financial results.

Differing opinions and regulations regarding what constitutes the responsible use of technologies, including evolving technologies such as AI, in our internal operations, products and services may result in reputational or financial harm and liability and may cause us to incur costs to resolve such issues. If we enable or offer solutions that draw controversy due to their perceived or actual societal impact, such as solutions with unintended consequences, or those that raise concerns related to human rights, privacy, employment or other social or political issues, or if we are unable to maintain effective internal mechanisms for the responsible development, deployment, and use of technologies, including AI enabling products, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability. AI introduces new legal, social and ethical issues, risks and challenges that may slow adoption of AI-enabled products and services, reduce market acceptance, delay commercialization, alter customer purchasing behavior, or adversely affect our business model, competitive position and operating results.

Our failure to comply with federal, state, or international laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection and handling, and cybersecurity may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations in the U.S. and internationally regarding privacy, data protection and handling, and cybersecurity, such as the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the U.K. equivalent to the GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), ~~and~~ the EU Cyber Resilience Act and Cybersecurity Act, and the CMMC program. The scope of ~~these~~such laws and regulations is rapidly evolving, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions. Some of these laws create a broad definition of regulated, protected or personal information, establish data privacy rights, impose risk assessment, certification and/or data breach notification requirements, and ~~create~~ potentially limit contractual opportunities or create severe statutory damages or other remedial frameworks and private rights of action for certain data breaches. Some of the laws and regulations also place restrictions on our ability to collect, store, use, transmit and process personal information and other data across our business. For example, the GDPR restricts the ability of companies to transfer personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to the U.S. and other countries. Some of these laws mandate data-handling and cybersecurity requirements, conformity assessments and incident reporting such as the ~~Cybersecurity~~CMMC ~~Maturity Model~~program. ~~Further~~Over time, ~~such~~failure to comply with CMMC requirements required by the U.S. Department of War and its prime customers may make us ineligible for government contracts. Such laws and regulations have resulted and will continue to result in significantly greater compliance burdens and costs for companies such as us that have employees, customers, and operations in the EEA or make sales into government-related projects.

We have relied mainly on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), for transfers of personal information from the EEA to the U.S. or other countries. However, the Court of Justice of the EU in a July 2020 decision (Schrems II) invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (Privacy Shield), and also called for stricter conditions in the use of the SCCs. Following the Schrems II decision, certain data protection authorities in the EU have issued statements advising companies within their jurisdiction not to transfer personal data to the U.S. under the SCCs. The EU and U.S. have established a successor framework to the Privacy Shield, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), but it already has faced a legal challenge and may face additional legal challenges. If we are unable to implement sufficient safeguards to ensure that our transfers of personal information from the EEA are lawful, we may face increased exposure to regulatory actions and substantial fines and injunctions against processing personal information from the EEA. The loss of our ability to lawfully transfer personal data out of the EEA may cause reluctance or refusal by European customers to communicate with us as they are currently, and we may be required to increase our data processing capabilities in the EEA at significant expense. Additionally, other countries outside of the EEA have passed or are considering passing laws requiring local data residency, which could increase the cost and complexity of providing our products in those jurisdictions.

Furthermore, the GDPR and the U.K. equivalent of the GDPR expose us to two parallel data protection regimes in Europe, each of which potentially authorizes fines and enforcement actions for certain violations. Substantial fines may be imposed for breaches of data protection requirements, which can be up to 4% of a company’s worldwide revenue or 20 million Euros, whichever is greater, and classes of individuals or consumer protection organizations may initiate litigation related to our processing of their personal data. Although the U.K. data protection regime currently permits data transfers from the U.K. to 31

In the U.S., federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and handling, and cybersecurity. For example, California has enacted the CCPA, which creates new individual privacy rights for California consumers (as defined in the law) and places increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling personal data of consumers or households. The CPRA, which became operative January 1, 2023, expands the CCPA’s requirements, including applying to personal information of business representatives and employees and establishing a new regulatory agency to implement and enforce the law. Additionally, numerous other states have proposed or enacted laws addressing privacy and security, many of which impose obligations similar to those of the CCPA. The U.S. federal government also has rules, regulations and laws regarding handling of government-regulated data (e.g., controlled unclassified information, classified data, and export-controlled data) and continues to contemplate federal privacy legislation. The CCPA, and other evolving legislation relating to privacy, data protection, and information security may impact our business activities and require us to modify our policies and practices.

If other jurisdictions enact similar cross-border personal data transfer laws and local personal data residency laws, it would increase the cost and complexity of doing business and non-compliance could result in fines or other sanctions from regulators. The inability to transfer personal data to the U.S. could significantly and negatively impact our business operations, limit our ability to collaborate with parties that are subject to European and other data privacy and security laws, or require us to increase our personal data processing capabilities in Europe and/or elsewhere at significant expense. Some European regulators have prevented companies from transferring personal data out of Europe for allegedly violating the GDPR’s cross-border data transfer limitations, which could negatively impact our business.

While we ~~plan to~~ continue to undertake efforts to conform to current legal and regulatory obligations and to account for relevant best practices, such efforts may be unsuccessful or result in significant costs. We may also experience reluctance, or refusal by European or multi-national customers to continue to provide us with personal data due to the potential risk exposure of personal data transfers and the current data protection obligations imposed on them by applicable data protection laws or by certain data protection authorities. These and any other laws relating to privacy or data protection and handling and their interpretations continue to develop and their uncertainty and inconsistency may increase the cost of compliance, cause compliance challenges, restrict our ability to offer products in certain locations in the same way that we have been, and potentially adversely affect certain third-party service providers. Further, any actual or alleged failure by us or our service providers to comply with laws, regulations, or other actual or asserted obligations relating to privacy, data protection and handling, or cybersecurity may subject us to claims, demands, and litigation, sanctions or fines by regulators, and other damages and liabilities. Any of the foregoing may harm our reputation and market position and otherwise could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to various risks related to legal proceedings, investigations or claims.

We are currently, and in the future may be, involved in legal proceedings, investigations or claims regarding intellectual property rights, product defects, breach of contracts, tax matters, export controls and sanctions, and other matters. As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we receive notifications from third parties from time to time who believe that we owe them indemnification or other obligations related to claims made against us, our direct or indirect customers, or our licensees. These legal proceedings and claims, even if meritless, have in the past and could in the future result in unexpected and substantial costs to us. If we are unable to resolve or settle a matter, obtain necessary licenses on reasonable terms, reengineer products or processes to avoid infringement, provide a cost-effective remedy, or successfully prosecute or defend our position, we could incur uninsured liability in any of them, be required to take a charge to operations, be enjoined from selling a material portion of our products or using certain processes, suffer a reduction or elimination in the value of our ~~inventories, incur reputational damage, and our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed.~~

Table of Contents

inventories, incur reputational damage, and our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed.

It is also possible that from time to time we may be subject to claims related to the manufacture, performance, or use of our products. These claims may be due to injuries, economic damage, lost intellectual property, or environmental exposures related to manufacturing, a product's nonconformance to our or our customer’s specifications, changes in our manufacturing processes, security vulnerabilities, or unexpected customer system issues due to the integration of our products or insufficient design or testing by our customers. We could incur significant expenses related to such matters, including, but not limited to:

•costs related to writing off the value of our inventory of nonconforming products;

Table of Contents

•recalling nonconforming products;

•providing support services, product replacements, or modifications to products and the defense of such claims;

•diversion of resources from other projects;

•lost revenue or a delay in the recognition of revenue due to cancellation of orders, unpaid receivables, or reimbursement of costs or damages;

•customer imposed fines or penalties for failure to meet contractual requirements; and

•a requirement to pay damages, penalties or recall costs.

Because the systems into which our products are integrated have a higher cost of goods than the products we sell, the expenses and damages we are asked to pay may be significantly higher than the revenue and profits we received. While we exclude consequential damages in our standard terms and conditions, certain of our contracts ~~may~~do not exclude such liabilities. Further, our ability to avoid such liabilities may be limited by law. We have liability insurance which covers certain damages arising out of product defects, but we do not expect that insurance will fully protect against such claims. Payments we may make in connection with these customer claims may adversely affect the results of our operations.

Further, we sell to customers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, defense, safety, security, and medical, where failure of the application could cause damage to property or persons. We may be subject to claims if our products, or the integration of our products, cause system failures. We will face increased exposure to claims if there are substantial increases in either the volume of our sales into these applications or the frequency of system failures integrating our products.

Our contractual relationships with our customers expose us to risks and liabilities.

We do not typically enter into long-term contracts with our non-distributor customers, and therefore we cannot be certain about future order levels from our customers. Further, except for a few LTSAs, that are still in place, the customer contracts that we enter into generally do not require any specified level of purchases and allow customers to cancel orders or terminate the contract with limited restrictions. Under our LTSAs, customers may cancel orders in the event of price increases. While we had approximately ~~109~~101,000 customers, and our ten largest direct customers accounted for approximately 1211% of our total revenue in fiscal ~~2025~~2026, and ~~four~~two of our top ten direct customers are contract manufacturers that perform manufacturing services for many customers, cancellation of customer contracts could have an adverse impact on our revenue and profits. For example, due to uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced an increase in order cancellations and requests to reschedule deliveries to future dates in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Also, many of our customers felt the effects of slowing economic activity and increasing business uncertainty, and customer requests to push-out or cancel backlog and our accommodation of their requests increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and continued inthroughout fiscal 2024 and ~~the first half of~~ fiscal 2025.

Certain customer contracts differ from our standard terms of sale due to the negotiating leverage held by the customer. For example, under certain contracts we have committed to supply products on scheduled delivery dates, or extended our obligations for liabilities such as warranties or indemnification for quality issues or intellectual property infringement. If we are unable to supply the customer as contractually required, the customer may incur additional production costs, lost revenues due to delays in their manufacturing schedule, or quality-related issues. We may be liable for costs and damages associated with customer claims, and we may be obligated to defend the customer against claims of intellectual property infringement and pay associated legal fees. While we try to minimize the number of contracts which contain such provisions, manage the risks of such liabilities, and set caps on our liability exposure, sometimes we are unable to do so. In order to win important designs, avoid losing business to competitors, maintain existing business, or be permitted to bid on new business, we have, and may in the future, have to agree to uncapped liability for such items as intellectual property infringement or product failure, or have to agree to liquidated damage provisions. This exposes us to risk of liability far exceeding the purchase price of the products sold under such contracts, the lifetime revenues we receive under such contracts, or potential consequential damages. Further, where we do not have negotiated customer contracts, our customer's order terms may govern the transaction and contain terms unfavorable to us. These risks could result in a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

~~Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could result in competitive harm, lost revenue or market opportunities.~~ 33

Our ability to obtain patents, licenses and other intellectual property rights covering our products and manufacturing processes is important for our success. To that end, we have acquired certain patents and licenses and intend to continue to seek patents on our technology and manufacturing processes. The process of seeking patent protection can be expensive, and patents may not be issued from currently pending or future applications. In addition, our existing and new patents, trademarks and copyrights that are issued may not have sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful protection or

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by new accounting pronouncements or changes in existing accounting standards and practices.

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation or changes by the FASB and the SEC. New accounting pronouncements and interpretations of accounting standards and practices have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future. New accounting pronouncements or a change in the interpretation of accounting standards or practices may have a significant effect on our reported financial results and may affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective.

Regulatory authorities in jurisdictions into or from which we ship our products or import supplies could issue new export controls or trade sanctions, levy fines, restrict or delay our ability to export products or import supplies, or increase costs associated with the manufacture or transfer of products.

A significant portion of our sales involve export and import activities. Our U.S.-manufactured products or products based on U.S. technology or U.S. software, or products incorporating U.S. content may be subject to laws and regulations administrated by various agencies including those under the U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, and Treasury, that govern international trade, including but not limited to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Export Administration Regulations (EAR), International Traffic in Arms Regulations, economic embargoes and tariffs or other trade sanctions against certain countries and parties. Licenses or license exceptions are often required for the shipment of our products to certain countries as well as for releases of our technology and software to foreign nationals. Our inability to timely obtain a license, for any reason, ~~including~~not limited to a delay in license processing due to a federal government shutdown, or changes in government policies of approval or denial of licenses, could cause a delay in scheduled shipments which could have a material adverse impact on our revenue within the quarter of a shutdown, and in following quarters depending on the extent that license processing is delayed. Further, determination by a government that we have failed to comply with trade regulations or anti-bribery regulations can result in penalties which may include denial of export privileges, fines, penalties, and seizure of products, or loss of reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, sales and earnings. A change in laws and regulations could restrict our ability to transfer product to previously permitted countries, customers, distributors or others. For example, in October 2022, the U.S. ~~Commerce~~ Department of Commerce published a regulation that imposed restrictions on activities in or involving China, Hong Kong, and Macau related to advanced computing integrated circuits (ICs), advanced-node ICs, computers and other commodities that contain such ICs, certain semiconductor manufacturing items, and supercomputers. The regulation also expanded controls on transactions involving semiconductor manufacturing and semiconductor equipment manufacturing end-uses. Further, this regulation expanded the scope of foreign-produced items subject to license requirements under U.S. law and added 28 entities located in China to the U.S. Commerce Department Entity List. In November 2023, the U.S. Commerce Department added restrictions and export license requirements to end uses and product categories previously described in the October 2022 regulation. To date, the U.S. Commerce Department has issued a number of regulations that further restrict transactions involving semiconductors and related products. In addition, the U.S. Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury have been adding parties to the

A previous example occurred in fiscal 2020, when the U.S. Commerce Department effectively banned U.S. companies from selling products or transferring technology to certain Chinese companies, including Huawei and ~~their~~others related companies worldwide. In fiscal 2020, the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation prohibited U.S. governmental agencies from buying equipment incorporating covered telecommunications equipment, as a substantial component or critical technology, where the technology came from certain Chinese companies.

Although these tariff increases did not result in a material adverse impact on our operating costs in fiscal 2019 or ~~fiscal~~changing ~~2020,~~regulatory ~~they~~interpretations ~~did reduce demand for our products during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020.

It is also possible that evolving U.S. export controls may encourage non-U.S. governments to request that our customers purchase from companies not subject to U.S. export controls, thereby harming our business, market position, and financial results. Excessive export controls increase the risk of investing in U.S. advanced semiconductor products, because by the time a new product is ready for market, it may be subject to new unilateral export controls restricting its sale. At the same time, such controls may increase investment in foreign competitors, which would be less likely to be restricted by U.S. controls.

In November 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce added restrictions and export license requirements to end uses and product categories previously described in the October 2022 regulation. To date, the U.S. Department of Commerce has issued a number of regulations that further restrict transactions involving semiconductors and related products. In addition, the U.S. Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury have been adding parties to the restricted parties lists, and imposing prohibitions and export licensing requirements on transactions with them and entities that are 50% or more owned by them. The BIS has temporarily suspended its 50% Affiliates Rule, until November 10, 2026. The result of these additional restrictions and the change in the U.S. administration in 2025 is that there has been a slow-down in the processing of export license applications by the U.S. Government and an increased burden on us to conduct additional due diligence imposed by the regulations, as well as by sanctions imposed on Russia for invading Ukraine. At this time, there has not been a material impact on our ability to obtain necessary licenses for exportation.

The U.S. Department of Commerce also currently imposes restrictions on importation and sale of certain Vehicle Connectivity System (VCS) hardware and covered software designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons with a nexus to China, Hong Kong, Macau, or Russia. Any of the foregoing changes to the regulatory requirements could adversely impact our operational costs due to the administrative impacts of complying with these regulations and may limit those with whom we conduct business. Any one or more of these sanctions, future sanctions, a change in laws or regulations, or a prohibition on shipment of our products or transfer of our technology to significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The U.S. and other countries have levied tariffs and taxes on certain goods, implemented trade restrictions, and introduced national security protection policies. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China, have continued to escalate from 2018 to present, and include the U.S. increasing tariffs on Chinese origin goods and China increasing tariffs on U.S. origin goods. Additionally, the U.S. has imposed a baseline 10% tariff on almost all imported goods globally. We continue to take steps to mitigate the costs of these tariffs on our business by adjusting our operations and supply chain but may be unable to completely mitigate the costs of such tariffs, including those imposed in recent years or in the future.

On August 1, 2025, the U.S. administration implemented additional changes to its tariff policy, including the suspension of the de minimis exemption, expiration of the 10% baseline tariff, implementation of revised reciprocal tariffs tailored to each trading partner, and the imposition of tariffs on particular goods (e.g., copper). Although semiconductors remain exempt from most of the recent tariff actions, an increase in tariffs on semiconductors is expected to be imposed once the Section 232 investigation into the impact on U.S. national security by imports of semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and their derivative products is concluded. Semiconductors may also be subject to tariffs resulting from ongoing trade negotiations. Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA-based tariffs are unconstitutional, we cannot predict the timing, likelihood, or amount of any refunds or other recoveries.

Increased tariffs on our customers' products could adversely impact their sales, and increased tariffs on our products in comparison to those of our competitors could each result in lower demand for our products. Further, governments may impose restrictions on the sale to certain customers of our products, or any applications containing our products. For example, the Chinese government has announced restrictions relating to sales of certain raw materials and to sales of products containing certain products made by Micron, and they may direct companies within China to purchase Chinese-made products. The Chinese government may also re-initiate the suspended antidumping investigation into imports of analog chips originating in the United States and aggressively enforce the new regulation intended to combat the extraterritorial application of foreign trade controls, sanctions and other measures, which would likely have an adverse impact on our

revenue if additional tariffs are imposed by the Chinese government on products subject to the investigation. Similar restrictions on our products or the products of our customers or suppliers could negatively impact our business and financial results. It is also possible that evolving U.S. export controls may encourage our non-U.S. customers to purchase from companies not subject to U.S. export controls, thereby harming our business, market position, and financial results. Excessive export controls increase the risk of investing in U.S. advanced semiconductor products, because by the time a new product is ready for market, it may be subject to new unilateral export controls restricting its sale. At the same time, such controls may increase investment in foreign competitors, which would be less likely to be restricted by U.S. controls.

Further changes in trade or national security protection policy, tariffs, additional taxes, restrictions on exports or other trade barriers, including those taken against the U.S. in retaliation for U.S. policies, may limit our ability to obtain equipment, components or raw materials (including rare earth minerals), limit our ability to produce products, increase our selling and/or manufacturing costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, reduce our ability to sell products, or reduce our ability to have mergers and acquisitions approved by governmental agencies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial conditions.

The outcome of future examinations of our income tax returns and existing tax disputes could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are subject to examination of our U.S. and certain foreign income tax returns for fiscal 2007 and later. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes of these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from current or future examinations. There can be no assurance that the final determination of any of these or any future examinations will not have ana material adverse effect on our effective tax rates, financial position and results of operations.

In September 2021, we received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (2007 to 2012 Notice) from the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2012. The disputed amounts largely relate to transfer pricing matters. In December 2021, we filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court challenging the 2007 to 2012 Notice. In September 2023, we received a Revenue Agent Report (RAR) from the IRS for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2016. In October 2023, we received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (2014 to 2015 Notice) from the IRS for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015. The disputed amounts for fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2016 largely relate to transfer pricing matters. In December 2023, we filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court challenging the 2014 to 2015 Notice. In September 2025, we reached a settlement with the IRS for fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2015.

33In May 2023, we received a proposed income adjustment from the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (IRB) for fiscal 2020. In December 2023, we received a Notice of Assessment from the IRB asserting the same proposed income adjustment. In March 2025, we entered into a Consent Judgment before the High Court, agreeing that the dispute will be heard before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax (SCIT). It was also agreed that the payment on the taxes assessed is stayed and the IRB will pause all enforcement and proceedings against the collection of the taxes assessed until the appeal before the SCIT is concluded. If the adjustment is upheld by the highest court that has jurisdiction over this matter in Malaysia, it could result in income taxes and penalties up to MYR 1.9 billion (approximately $480.2 million based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2026). The disputed amounts largely relate to the characterization of certain assets. The timing of adjudicating this matter is uncertain but could occur in the next 18 months. The ultimate outcome of disputes of this nature is uncertain, and if the IRB were to prevail on its assertions, the assessed tax, penalties, and deficiency interest could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The disputed amounts largely relate to the characterization of certain assets. The timing of adjudicating this matter is uncertain but could occur in the next 12 months.

In January 2025, we received several assessments from the German Tax Authorities (GTA) regarding the German extraterritorial taxation of royalty payments between nonresidents (referred to as offshore receipts in respect of intangible property or ORIP) and intellectual property transfers by nonresidents (referred to as extraterritorial capital gains taxation or ETT). If the assessment is upheld, it could result in income taxes and penalties up to $92.0 million. The timing of adjudicating this matter is uncertain but could occur in the next 12 months.

The ultimate outcome of disputes of this nature is uncertain, and if the IRS, IRB, and GTA were to prevail on their assertions, the assessed tax, penalties, and deficiency interest could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Exposure to greater than anticipated income tax liabilities, changes in tax rules and regulations, changes in the interpretation of tax rules and regulations, or unfavorable assessments from tax audits could affect our effective tax rates, financial condition and results of operations.

We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to tax in many U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax obligations could be affected by many factors, including changes to our operating structure, intercompany arrangements and tax planning strategies.

Our income tax expense is computed based on tax rates at the time of the respective financial period. Our future effective tax rates, financial condition and results from operations could be unfavorably affected by several factors.

~~Our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely impacted by policies implemented globally by the current or future administrations.~~ 36

The U.S. and certain other global jurisdictions in which we operate, have taken and have threatened to take significant legislative and policy changes in areas including but not limited to tariffs, taxes and trade, labor, and the environment. If implemented, these changes could increase our effective tax rate, decrease our revenue and increase our selling, general, administrative and/or manufacturing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial conditions. Changes in tariffs, tax policy, trade regulations or other matters, and any uncertainty surrounding the scope or timing of such changes, could negatively impact the stock market, and reduce the trading price of our stock or otherwise impact our business. For example, in February 2022, the U.S. began implementing widescale sanctions against Russia due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Sanctions against Belarus and certain Ukrainian regions were later implemented. Because the actions by Russia against Ukraine are in conflict with our Guiding Values, we chose to cease shipments into Russia and Belarus, and we will continue to comply with applicable U.S. sanctions regarding Ukraine. While sales of our products into these regions, and to customers that sell into these regions, have been negatively impacted, at this time, we have not experienced a material adverse impact on our revenue. Retaliatory acts by Russia in response to the sanctions could include cyber-attacks, sanctions, or other actions that could disrupt the economy. As a result of the foregoing risks or similar risks,

We expect that the legal and regulatory environment relating to emerging technologies such as AI will continue to develop and impact both us and our customers. These changes could impact our internal use and development of AI, and could increase the cost of doing business, and create compliance risks and potential liability, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The U.S. and certain other global jurisdictions in which we operate, have taken and have threatened to take significant legislative and policy changes in areas including but not limited to tariffs, taxes and trade, labor, and the environment.

As a result of the foregoing risks or similar risks, the imposition of sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

New technology trends, such as cyber resiliency and security requirements and the rapid adoption of AI, require us, and our customers and suppliers, to keep pace with evolving regulations and industry standards. In the U.S., the EU, and China, there are various current and proposed regulatory frameworks relating to cybersecurity, AI development, and the deployment of automation and AI in products, services and operations, including the EU AI Act, China’s generative AI regulations, and various current or proposed U.S. federal and state AI and/or cybersecurity legislative or governance frameworks, executive orders, rules, regulations and laws. The EU AI Act, which has a phased implementation schedule, imposes requirements on AI systems based on their risk classification, and may require conformity assessments, registration, and ongoing monitoring for certain AI systems. We expect that the legal and regulatory environment relating to emerging technologies such as AI will continue to develop and impact us and our customers and supply chain.

We are subject to stringent environmental, climate change and other regulations, which may force us to incur significant expenses and impact our operations.

We must comply with federal, state, local and foreign governmental regulations related to the use, storage, emissions, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances used in our products and manufacturing processes, or that are the result of our manufacturing operations, such as greenhouse gases. We must also comply with rules and regulations regarding limiting greenhouse gas emissions, public reporting of environmental metrics such as greenhouse gas emissions and hazardous substances, and obtain third-party assurance of greenhouse gas reporting. Regulations could require us to change manufacturing processes, substitute materials which may cost more or be less available, obtain new permits and undertake other costly activities.

Our failure to comply, or the failure of entities that we have acquired over time to have complied, with regulations could result in significant fines, litigation or administrative actions by regulators or others, liability for clean-up, criminal and civil liabilities, import/export restrictions, reduction or suspension of production, cessation of operations or future liabilities. Restrictions on emissions could result in significant costs such as the need for additional equipment, higher energy costs, carbon taxes, and emission cap and trade programs, and could also result in reduction or suspension of production, or even cessation of operations. Such regulations have required us in the past, and could require us in the future, to incur significant expenses to comply with such regulations. Our failure to control the use of, or adequately restrict the discharge of, hazardous substances could not only impact the health of our employees, customers and communities in which we operate, but could also impact our ability to operate. Such failure could also restrict our ability to ship certain products to certain countries, require us to modify our products, shipping materials or logistics, or require us to incur other significant costs and expenses. Environmental laws continue to expand with a focus on reducing or eliminating hazardous substances in electronic products and shipping materials. Future environmental regulations could require us to close or reduce production at certain facilities, reengineer certain of our existing products and may prevent us or make it more expensive for us to manufacture, sell and ship our products. ~~For~~Regulations ~~example,~~restricting ~~in Colorado, Regulation 27 requires companies operating in Colorado to significantly reduce~~ greenhouse gas emissions incould acause ~~short~~us ~~timeframe.

In March 2022, the SEC proposed a rule entitled Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors which it then adopted March 6, 2024. However, on April 4, 2024, the SEC announced that it was delaying the implementation of the rule pending challenge in the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court. While the rule is not yet implemented, if it were to be implemented in its current form, we would incur significant additional costs of compliance due to the need for expanded data collection, analysis, and certification. 37

In addition, the number and complexity of laws and customer requirements focused on the energy efficiency of electronic products, the recycling of electronic products, the reduction of chemicals used in and to manufacture electronic products, and the reduction in the amount of packing materials and the increase in the required recycling of packing materials have expanded significantly. It may be difficult for us to timely comply with these laws and we may have insufficient quantities of compliant products to meet customers' needs, thereby adversely impacting our sales and profitability. We may have to write off inventory if we hold unsaleable inventory as a result of changes to regulations. We expect these risks to continue. These requirements may increase our own costs, as well as those passed on to us by our supply chain.

manufacturing process changes may have on the products that we provide to such customers, we have to take a measured approach when implementing changes to our facilities, manufacturing processes, and manufacturing inputs. If we are unable to implement the necessary abatement plan, we may be required to ramp down our existing operations significantly or risk noncompliance with regulations.

These requirements may increase our own costs, as well as those passed on to us by our supply chain.

Sustained adverse climate change poses risks that could harm our results of operations.

Voluntary actions we may take or have taken as part of our ESG initiatives could require us to limit emissions, change manufacturing processes, substitute materials which may cost more or be less available, fund offset projects, or undertake other costly activities. Voluntary restrictions on emissions could result in significant costs such as the need for additional equipment, higher energy costs, carbon taxes, and emission cap and trade programs. The cost of compliance with such voluntary efforts could restrict our manufacturing operations, increase our costs, and have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Sustained adverse changes in climate could have a direct adverse economic impact on us due to the effects of extreme weather and climate events on our production facilities, our supply chain and customers. Utility shortages, higher costs of utilities, and reduced availability of water could disrupt our operations as well as those of our customers and suppliers. Certain of our operations are located in arid or tropical regions, which some experts believe may become vulnerable to more frequent fires, storms, severe floods and droughts. While our business recovery plans are intended to allow us to recover from natural disasters or other disruptive events, our plans may not protect us from all events.

The cost of compliance with such voluntary efforts could restrict our manufacturing operations, increase our costs, and have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Customer demands and regulations related to conflict-free minerals and other substances incorporated into or used to manufacture our products may force us to incur additional expenses.

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, in August 2012, the SEC released investigation, and disclosure requirements regarding the use of "conflict" minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. We have filed a Form SD with the SEC regarding such matters annually since June 2, 2014. Other countries are considering similar regulations. If we cannot certify that our supply chain is free from the risk of irresponsible sourcing, customers and others may demand that we change the sourcing of materials used in the manufacture of our products, even if the costs for compliant materials significantly increases or availability is limited. If we change materials or suppliers, there will likely be costs associated with qualifying new suppliers and production capacity, delivery times and quality could be negatively impacted. Our relationships with customers, suppliers and stockholders may be adversely affected if we are unable to certify that our products are free from the risk of irresponsible sourcing. We have incurred, and expect in the future to incur, additional costs associated with complying with these disclosure requirements, such as costs related to determining the source of any conflict minerals used in our products. We may be unable to satisfy those that require that all of the components of our products be certified as conflict free in a materially different manner than advocated by the Responsible Minerals Initiative or the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. If we are unable to meet customer requirements, customers may disqualify us as a supplier, resulting in a permanent or temporary loss of sales to such customer or a reduction in purchases from us, and we may have to write off inventory if it cannot be sold.

In addition to concerns over “"conflict”" minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo, our customers may require that other minerals and substances used within our supply chain, manufacturing processes, or contained in our products be evaluated and reported on. An increase in reporting obligations will increase associated operating costs. This could have negative effects on our overall operating profits.

Failure to meet ESG expectations, standards or disclosure requirements or achieve our corporate responsibility goals, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, or stock price.

In recent years, there has been an increased focus on corporate responsibility matters, including greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related risks, renewable energy, water stewardship, waste management, data privacy, cybersecurity, trade controls, ~~diversity, equality and inclusion,~~ responsible sourcing and supply chain, use of products for illegal or unethical purposes, human rights, and social responsibility. We are committed to corporate responsibility and actively manage these issues in accordance with applicable law and including through our guiding values and our internal policies. As an example, since we do not support the actions of Russia against Ukraine, in March 2022 we stopped selling products to customers and distributors located in Russia and Belarus. However, we have been made aware that there are entities in Russia that indirectly obtained our products after March 2022 despite the preventative measures we took and continue to take. Though we continue to improve our processes and procedures to prevent the unauthorized flow of our products, our actions have not been fully successful. We operate in an extensive, ever-changing global supply chain, an expectation of complete traceability of standard semiconductor products to every end use and prevention of product misuse and diversion is unachievable. Thus, despite our efforts, our products may be used for illegal or objectionable applications and third parties may engage in conduct

social responsibility. We are committed to corporate responsibility and actively manage these issues in accordance with applicable law and including through our guiding values and our internal policies. As an example, since we do not support the actions of Russia against Ukraine, in March 2022 we stopped selling products to customers and distributors located in Russia and Belarus. However, we have been made aware that there are entities in Russia that indirectly obtained our products after March 2022 despite the preventative measures we took and continue to take. Though we continue to improve our processes and procedures to prevent the unauthorized flow of our products, our actions have not been fully successful. We operate in an extensive, ever-changing global supply chain, an expectation of complete traceability of standard semiconductor products to every end use and prevention of product misuse and diversion is unachievable. Thus, despite our efforts, our products may be used for illegal or objectionable applications and third parties may engage in conduct that we do not support or condone.

~~Also,~~We we have publicly announced environmental goals including those related to greenhouse gas emissions reduction, achieving net zero carbon emissions and renewable energy usage, ~~which~~however, we may refine or ~~expand~~modify ~~further~~such goals in the future. These goals reflect our current plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them. These goals could expose us to heightened scrutiny and financial, legal, reputational, operational, compliance, and other risks, including lost customer opportunities, which could negatively impact us. Further, any failure to set or achieve corporate responsibility initiatives that meet our stakeholders' evolving expectations could also negatively impact us.

In addition, we are or expect to become subject to various new or proposed climate-related and other sustainability laws and regulations, including, for example, the state of California's new climate change disclosure requirements, and the EU's ~~new~~ Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive ~~and climate-change disclosure requirements from the SEC~~. Compliance with such laws and regulations, as well as the overall increased focus and scrutiny from ~~the~~certain ~~SEC and other~~ regulators, investors, customers, vendors, employees, and other stakeholders concerning ESG and climate matters, could impose additional costs on us and expose us to new risks, including resulting in changes to our current ESG goals.

Evolving stakeholder expectations, voluntary and required reporting regimes that are not harmonized and continue to change, and our efforts to manage these issues, report on them, and accomplish our goals, present numerous operational, regulatory, reputational, financial, legal, and other risks, any of which could have a material adverse impact, including on our reputation and stock price. It is also possible that government, customers, investors and other stakeholders might not be satisfied with our policies, programs, goals, performance and related disclosures, or the speed of their adoption, implementation and measurable success, or that we have adopted such policies, programs and commitments.

Such risks and uncertainties include:

•reputational harm, including damage to our relationship with customers, ~~supplies~~suppliers, investors, governments, or other stakeholders;

•wesome ~~may lose~~ customers ~~who~~may choose not to do business with us, or we may choose to discontinue or restrict business with certain customers due to our policies;

•liabilities or penalties associated with inadequate processes to collect, audit, or disclose information;

•adverse impacts on our ability to sell and manufacture products;

•increased risk of litigation, investigations, or regulatory enforcement action;

•unfavorable ESG ratings or investor sentiment;

•diversion of resources and increased costs to control, assess, and report on ESG metrics;

•our ability to achieve our goals within announced timeframes;

•increased costs and resources to monitor, report and achieve our goals;

•unforeseen operational and technological difficulties;

•access to and increased cost of capital; and

•adverse impacts on our stock price.

Any failure, or perceived failure, to meet evolving stakeholder expectations or industry standards, or achieve our corporate responsibility goals could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, reputation, or stock price.

Risks Related to Capitalization and Financial Markets

The future trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the recent past and is likely to fluctuate in the future. The future trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

•global economic and financial uncertainty due to changes in ~~tariffs,~~geopolitical ~~interest~~conditions ~~rates, persistent inflation, instability in the banking sector, war~~ or ~~other~~military conflicts, ~~public~~interest ~~health concerns or other factors;~~

Table of Contents

rates, persistent inflation, instability in the banking sector, tariffs, public health concerns or other factors;

•political events, trends, and unexpected developments occurring nationally, globally, or in any of our key sales regions;

•quarterly variations in our operating results, financial condition, including our liquidity, or the operating results of other technology companies;

•changes in our financial guidance or our failure to meet such guidance;

Table of Contents

•changes in analysts' estimates of our financial performance or buy/sell recommendations;

•general conditions in the semiconductor industry;

•actual or anticipated announcements of technical innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

•the amount and timing of repurchases of shares of our common stock;

•our ability to realize the expected benefits of our completed or future acquisitions; and

•announcements of restructurings, reductions in force, departure of key employees, and/or consolidations of operations~~; and~~.

•actual or anticipated announcements of technical innovations or new products by us or our competitors.

In addition, the stock market has recently and in the past experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for many companies and that often have been unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations and other factors have harmed and may harm the market price of our common stock. The foregoing factors could also cause the market price of our Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares to decline or fluctuate substantially. In the past, following volatile periods in the price of their stock, many companies became the target of securities class action litigation. If we are sued in a securities class action, we could incur substantial costs, and it could divert management's attention and resources and have an adverse impact on our financial performance and the price of our common stock or Series A Preferred Stock.

The amount and timing of our share repurchases may fluctuate in response to a variety of factors.

The amount, timing, and execution of repurchases of shares of our common stock may fluctuate based on the share price of our common stock, general business and market conditions, tax regulations impacting share repurchases and other factors including our operating results, level of cash flow, leverage ratios, capital expenditures and dividend payments on our common stock and preferred stock. Although our Board of Directors has authorized share repurchases of up to $4.00 billion, of which $1.56 billion is still available, the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares. We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase authorization will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The repurchase authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion and may affect the trading price of our common stock and increase volatility. We did not repurchase any shares in ~~the~~fiscal ~~March 2025 quarter~~2026.

Our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted if we do not effectively manage or refinance our current or future debt.

As of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, the principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness was $5.6654 billion. At March 31, ~~2025~~2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, which provides ~~up to~~ $2.25 billion of revolving loan commitments that terminate in 2030, and $~~175~~349.0 million in outstanding principal amount ofunder our Commercial Paper program. AtAs of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, we had $43.2000 billion in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and $12.2919 billion in aggregate principal of Convertible Debt outstanding. We intend to finance the repayment of our fixed rate debt maturing within the next 12 months using new fixed rate debt, new notes or convertible debt or by using available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, our Commercial Paper program or other instruments. Changes in interest rates will have a more significant impact on our interest expense if we refinance our fixed rate debt with variable rate debt. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our current or future debt on reasonable terms, if at all.

With respect to such balance of Senior Notes, our 4.250% 2025 Notes in the principal amount of $1.20 billion matures on September 1, 2025, and we intend to finance the repayment of such notes using available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Commercial Paper program. Since interest rates have increased since we issued our 4.250% 2025 Notes, we expect our interest expense will increase if we refinance such notes using our Revolving Credit Facility or our Commercial Paper Program or other instruments. Also, if we refinance such fixed rate notes with variable rate debt, changes in interest rates will have a more significant impact on our interest expense in future periods. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our current or future debt on reasonable terms, if at all.

Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, we may not have sufficient cash to fund payments and adverse changes in our credit ratings could increase our borrowing costs and adversely affect our ability to access the debt markets.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, or to refinance our indebtedness, including our outstanding Senior Notes, Convertible Debt, and Commercial Paper, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, competitive and other factors. Our business may not continue to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt and to fund capital expenditures, dividend payments, share repurchases or acquisitions. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, due to financial, contractual, regulatory, or other reasons, we may be required to reduce or suspend dividends, share repurchases, or undertake alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on onerous or highly dilutive terms. ~~Recently~~In several recent quarters, we have used borrowings to finance a portion of our quarterly dividend payments and we may continue to do so in future periods. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Our Senior Notes and Commercial Paper are rated by certain major credit rating agencies. These credit ratings impact our cost of borrowing and our ability to access the capital markets and are based on our financial performance and financial metrics including debt levels. While we have maintained our investment grade rating, we were recently downgraded by one rating agency and there is no assurance that we will maintain our current credit ratings. A

agencies. These credit ratings impact our cost of borrowing and our ability to access the capital markets and are based on our financial performance and financial metrics including debt levels. While we have maintained our investment grade rating, in March 2025 we were downgraded by one rating agency and there is no assurance that we will maintain our current credit ratings. A downgrade of our credit rating by a major credit rating agency could result in increased borrowing costs and could adversely affect our ability to access the debt markets to refinance our existing debt or finance future debt. Our maintenance of substantial levels of debt could adversely affect our ability to take advantage of opportunities and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Conversion of our Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares, or the payment of dividends on Series A Preferred Stock in shares of common stock, will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.

The conversion of some or all of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares, the payment of dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock in the form of common stock or the conversion of our outstanding Convertible Debt will dilute the ownership interest of our existing stockholders to the extent we deliver common stock upon conversion of such debt. Following our irrevocable settlement election made on April 1, 2022 with respect to the 2017 Senior Convertible Debt, upon conversion, we are required to satisfy our conversion obligation with respect to such converted Convertible Debt by delivering cash equal to the principal amount of such converted Convertible Debt and cash and shares of common stock or any combination, at our option, with respect to any conversion value in excess thereof (i.e., the conversion spread). There would be no adjustment to the numerator in the net income per common share computation for the cash settled portion of the Convertible Debt as that portion of the debt instrument will always be settled in cash. The conversion spread will be included in the denominator for the computation of diluted net income per common share. Any sales in the public market of any common stock issuable upon conversion of our Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares or the payment of dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock in the form of common stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of the Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares, as applicable, could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

The Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be influenced by ~~the~~our Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares. The market price of our common stock could become more volatile and could be depressed by: (1) investors’ anticipation of the potential resale in the market of a substantial number of additional shares of common stock received upon conversion of the Convertible Debt, Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares; (2) possible sales of our common stock by investors who view the Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares as a more attractive means of equity participation in us than owning shares of common stock; and (3) hedging or arbitrage trading activity that we expect to develop involving the Series A Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares and our common stock.

Our common stock ranks junior to our Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

Our common stock ranks junior to our Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. This means that, unless accumulated dividends have been paid or set aside for payment on all our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock through the most recently completed dividend period, no dividends may be declared or paid on our common stock subject to limited exceptions. Likewise, in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, no distribution of our assets may be made to holders of our common stock until we have paid to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely impact our operating results.

We use forward currency exchange contracts in an attempt to reduce the adverse earnings impact from the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our non-U.S. dollar net balance sheet exposures. Nevertheless, in periods when the U.S. dollar significantly fluctuates in relation to the non-U.S. currencies in which we transact business, the value of our non-U.S. dollar transactions can have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In particular, in periods when the value of a non-U.S. currency significantly declines relative to the U.S. dollar, customers transacting in that currency may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations or to undertake new obligations to make payments or purchase products. In periods when the U.S. dollar declines significantly relative to the British pound, Euro, Thai baht and Taiwan dollar, the operational costs in our European and Thailand subsidiaries are adversely affected. Although our business has not been materially adversely impacted by recent changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, there can be no assurance as to the future

operational costs in our European and Thailand subsidiaries are adversely affected. Although our business has not been materially adversely impacted by recent changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, there can be no assurance as to the future impact that any weakness or strength in the U.S. dollar will have on our business or results of operations.

Cyber Risk Governance

Risk Management and Strategy

We define cyber risk governance as a program of measures designed to protect our IT assets and information from unauthorized access, attacks or service disruptions. Our risk governance processes ~~were~~are designed and managed by our IT Shared Services (ITSS) team, ~~which~~led ~~maintains~~by ~~knowledge~~our ~~about~~Chief ~~the~~Information ~~types~~Security ofOfficer ~~high-profile security breaches being reported more frequently across the globe~~(CISO). ~~The~~Cybersecurity ~~secure processing, maintenance,~~ and ~~transmission of sensitive~~ data, ~~including~~protection ~~confidential~~remain ~~and~~critical ~~other~~components ~~proprietary~~of ~~information about~~ our long-term business ~~and~~strategy ~~our~~given ~~employees,~~the ~~and~~importance ~~information~~of ~~belonging~~securely ~~to our customers~~processing, ~~suppliers~~maintaining, and ~~business~~transmitting ~~partners,~~sensitive isdata ~~important~~relating to our ~~operations and~~ business, ~~strategy. As~~employees, acustomers, ~~result~~suppliers, ~~cybersecurity~~ and ~~data protection are key components of our long-term business strategies~~partners.

We use ~~various~~a ~~processes~~risk-based approach to ~~inform~~assess, ~~our assessment~~identify, ~~identification~~ and ~~management~~manage ofcybersecurity ~~risk~~threats, including those arising from ~~cybersecurity~~evolving ~~threats~~technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), expanding cloud infrastructure, and increasingly complex threat actor capabilities. Key areas of our cybersecurity risk management processes and strategy ~~currently~~ include:

Processes and Coordination

We manage ~~cyber~~cybersecurity ~~security~~ and assess associated risks in these ways:

•ITSS, led by our ~~Chief Information Security Officer (~~CISO), has ~~first-line~~primary responsibility for ~~our~~ cybersecurity risk management ~~processes~~, and ~~works~~coordinates ~~to coordinate~~ efforts, priorities and oversight of cybersecurity risk across the Company;

•ITSS works with cross-functional groups, such as manufacturing, business operations, engineering, human resources, legal, and finance ~~and~~to isevaluate ~~responsible~~enterprise-wide ~~for evaluating and assessing overall~~ cybersecurity risk, and ~~advising~~to advise senior management and the Audit Committee regarding our cybersecurity risk profile and priorities as they evolve;

•weWe have established policies and processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risk from cybersecurity threats, and have integrated these processes into our overall risk management systems and processes; and

•~~our~~Our Internal Audit group monitors ~~certain~~key IT systems controls that are integrated into our larger Sarbanes-Oxley control environment and compliance framework.

Ongoing Evaluation and Assessment of Systems and Processes

We take steps to monitor evolving regulatory, industry and legal requirements and best practices relating to cyber risk mitigation, and we employ standards and frameworks that we deem appropriate to address identified risks. In addition to periodic in-depth evaluations of our applicable systems and processes, we monitor our IT systems and processes on an ongoing basis with the goal of identifying and remediating real and potential threats as they arise. We adjust our systems, procedures, and policies as we deem necessary and in response to identified threats and risks. For example, ~~ITSS has implemented improvements to~~ our ~~protective~~cybersecurity ~~measures~~program ~~that have included, but have not been limited to~~includes: endpoint intrusion detection and response software, vulnerability scans, regular patching of vulnerabilities, evaluating and reviewing log monitors, event correlation tools, network segmentation, system audits, data partitioning, privileged account segregation and monitoring, and tabletop exercises.

•Continuous monitoring of IT systems and threat activity, including 24x7 security operations center (SOC) support and third-party threat detection capabilities.

•Endpoint detection, response and isolation, vulnerability scanning, patch management, and network segmentation.

•Increasing frequency of vulnerability management and of patching cycles for critical systems.

•Identity-based access controls to restrict system access and require user multifactor authentication.

Security Awareness Program to Train and Test Personnel

We sponsor a multi-faceted security awareness program that includes regular, mandatory trainings for our personnel on best practices for cyber-hygiene including: proper use of multifactor authentication and single sign-on use for cloud applications; ways to identify social engineering techniques, policy and process awareness, periodic phishing simulations and ~~other preparedness testing.~~

other preparedness testing; and an increased focus on emerging threats, such as AI-enabled social engineering and credential misuse.

Cyber Incident Response Plan

We maintain a cross-functional cyber incident response plan ~~with~~that ~~defined~~defines ~~roles~~escalation ~~and~~protocols, ~~responsibilities~~roles and ~~reporting protocols~~responsibilities. ~~This~~Our plan focuses on responding to, identifying the severity levels of, and recovering from a breach as well as mitigating any impact to our business. Generally, when a suspected breach is identified, the ITSS team will escalate the issue to the personnel identified in the plan for initial analysis and guidance. In the event of an actual breach, the CISO will prepare an initial assessment and consult with our general counsel (GC) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Together, our GC, CFO and CISO will consult with other executives, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating Officer, to determine the incident’s impact to our business. This management group (in consultation with outside experts) will be responsible for determining whether a particular incident (alone or in combination with other factors) triggers any public or regulatory reporting, or third-party notification requirements.

Regular Evaluation of Initiatives, Results and Priorities

The ITSS team, in consultation with members of senior management, updates its strategy at least annually to account for changes in our business strategy, legal and regulatory developments across our geographic footprint, results of recent ITSS initiatives, and developments in the cybersecurity threat landscape. On an annual basis the CISO updates the Audit Committee (generally with all other Board members in attendance) on the performance of cyber risk key performance indicators (KPIs), cyber risks, staffing and key ITSS initiatives. On a quarterly basis the CISO updates the Audit Committee (generally with all other Board members in attendance) on the KPIs and any changes to our cyber risk mitigation efforts, and any cyber breaches that may have occurred. Feedback from the Audit Committee and senior management assists us in determining whether any further changes to our existing policies and practices are warranted. We expect that our cybersecurity risk management processes and strategy will continue to adapt as the cybersecurity threat landscape evolves. We engage third parties to assist us with our cybersecurity risk management and strategy. Some of these third parties provide us with ongoing assistance (such as threat monitoring, penetration testing, mitigation strategies, updates on emerging trends and developments and policy guidance) while others provide targeted assistance (such as security and forensic expertise) as needed.

Review of Third Parties

There are cybersecurity risks associated with using third party platforms, sharing information with third parties, and with allowing third parties to access our systems. ~~Therefore~~For example, prior to integrating ~~any~~ third-party ~~provider’s~~platforms ~~information~~ into our systems (e.g., cloud providers, AI-enabled tools), we have processes in place to assess their security maturity against our standards, assess business risks associated with integration and request changes as we deem necessary.

Governance

~~Consistent~~Our ~~with our~~ overall risk management governance structure, management is responsible for the day-to-day management of cybersecurity risk while our Board and its Audit Committee play an active, ongoing oversight role.

Continuous Improvement and Strategic Priorities

We regularly update our cybersecurity strategy based on evolving threats, regulatory requirements, and business needs. Current priorities include:

•Enhancing our cybersecurity governance framework by developing and implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in a phased manner that aligns with ISO 27001 standards.

•Upgrading legacy environments to promote effective security controls.

•Enhancing information protection practices and cultural awareness around data sensitivity.

•Strengthening security of public-facing systems and reducing external attack surface.

•Expanding AI-driven defensive capabilities for the day-to-day threat detection and response automation.

Board Oversight

Our Board has delegated to its Audit Committee specific, first-line responsibility for overseeing major cybersecurity risk exposures in addition to our broader enterprise risk management program. Specifically, under its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing and monitoring enterprise risk management, privacy, cybersecurity and data security matters, including the potential impact of those exposures on Microchip’s business, financial results, operations and reputation, and the steps management has taken to monitor and mitigate such exposures. The CISO reports at least quarterly to the Audit Committee on information security and data privacy and protection. These presentations address a wide range of topics, including trends in cyber threats and the status of initiatives designed to bolster our security systems. Our full Board is typically in attendance at these presentations made to the Audit Committee. At least annually, the Board meets with members of our senior management team to review and discuss our enterprise risk management program, including areas of material risk and how these risks, which may include cybersecurity risk, are being managed and reported to the Board and its committees.

~~Management’s Role~~43

Our ITSS team is led by our CISO, who reports to our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Our CISO is a former CPA that has 35 years of experience in leading global accounting and business information systems groups including strategy, applications, infrastructure, information security, support, and execution.

Digital security at Microchip is the primary responsibility of our ITSS team. Our ITSS team is responsible for infrastructure services and business continuity as it relates to digital information. The ITSS team oversees compliance with our cybersecurity framework within our Company and facilitates cybersecurity risk management activities. The ITSS team also assists with the review and approval of policies, completes benchmarking against applicable standards and oversees the security awareness training program. ITSS works to address and respond to cyber risk, including cyber risks related to security architecture and engineering, identity and access management and security operations. Collectively, ITSS has decades of relevant education and experience and maintain a wide range of industry certifications. We invest in regular, ongoing cybersecurity and architecture training for our team members.

Conclusion

As of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, we have not identified any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected Microchip, our business strategy, our results of operations or our financial condition. For a discussion of risks from cybersecurity threats that could be reasonably likely to materially affect us, please see our Risk Factors discussion under the heading, “We continue to be the target of attacks on our IT systems. Interruptions in and unauthorized access to our IT systems, and security breaches or incidents impacting our systems or data that we or our service providers maintain or otherwise process, could adversely affect our business”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Introduction

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document, as well as with other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." ~~For an overview of our business and recent trends, refer to our "Business and Macroeconomic Environment" discussed below.~~

We begin our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) with a discussion of our Business and Macroeconomic Environment followed by the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. We then discuss our results of operations for fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025, followed by an analysis of changes in our balance sheet and cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments in the section titled "Liquidity and Capital Resources." Our liquidity and capital resources section generally discusses fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025. For our discussion of ~~our~~ fiscal ~~2024~~2025 results compared to fiscal ~~2023~~2024 for both our results of operations and our liquidity and capital resources sections, refer to "Item 7. 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 March 31, ~~2024~~2025 filed with the SEC on May 23, ~~2024~~2025 which is incorporated by reference herein.

The~~fiscal ~~closure of Fab 2 was completed in May~~ 2025 and we ~~expect that it will generate annual cash savings of approximately $90 million. Due to the high levels of inventory of the products which~~ are ~~manufactured~~now in ~~Fab~~a 2,significant werevenue dogrowth ~~not~~mode ~~expect~~and towe ~~see income statement savings from the closure until the start of the June 2026 quarter based on a first-in first-out basis.

On March 3, 2025, we announced additional restructuring actions~~ to ~~reduce~~continue ~~costs, resize manufacturing operations and~~ to ~~reduce~~decline ~~headcount~~as atwe ~~our~~appropriately ~~Fab~~manage ~~4 and Fab 5 facilities and~~ our ~~backend~~ manufacturing ~~facility~~and infoundry ~~the Philippines which will result in approximately $25 million in annual savings from the temporarily reduced compensation costs~~resources. ~~These~~However, ~~actions~~there ~~resulted~~continues ~~in a reduction of inventory in the March 2025 quarter. We also announced a 10% headcount reduction across our company~~ to ~~decrease our operating expenses, which reduction will~~ be ~~fully~~uncertainty ~~implemented~~regarding byoverall ~~the June 2025 quarter. We expect this action to reduce our ongoing operating expenses by approximately $90 million to $100 million on an annualized basis.

There continues to be uncertainty regarding overall macroeconomic conditions, including increased geopolitical tensions, risk of a recession, and the effects of potential trade policies, including tariffs. Long established global trade relationships are potentially changing in fundamental ways that make it difficult to predict how global supply chains and economic environments will be affected. For example, in March and April 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs on imports from China and other countries and foreign governments imposed additional tariffs on imports from the U.S. It is unclear what tariffs will apply to semiconductors during this time of change.

While we continue to evaluate the potential impacts of these proposed tariffs and our ability to mitigate their related impacts, these tariffs and any retaliatory tariffs imposed may adversely impact our revenue and cost of goods sold in the U.S. and internationally. The imposition of tariffs could impact our supply chain for rare earth and other materials and cause a decrease in the sales of products to customers located in China, other customers selling to Chinese end users, or other global customers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The ultimate impact of any tariffs will depend on various factors, including whether semiconductors continue to be exempt from tariffs and any changes to the amount, scope and nature of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. or other countries. For additional information, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, including the risk factor titled “We may lose sales if suppliers of raw materials, components or equipment fail to meet our or our customers' needs, increase prices, are impacted by increases in tariffs, or such raw materials, components or equipment become restricted or unavailable."

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We review the accounting policies we use in reporting our financial results on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses ~~and related disclosure of contingent liabilities~~. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, and income taxes ~~and contingencies~~. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being different from those on which we based our assumptions. We review these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue primarily from sales of our semiconductor products to distributors and non-distributor customers (direct customers). We apply the following five-step approach to determine the timing and amount of revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Sales of semiconductor products to our customers are governed by a purchase order, an order acknowledgment, and a distributor agreement in the case of our distributor customers. Sales to customers do not meet the definition of a contract until the customer has sent in a purchase order, we have acknowledged the order, we have deemed the collectability of the consideration to be probable, and legally enforceable rights and obligations have been created. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, we offer price concessions and stock rotation rights to many of our distributors. As these are forms of variable consideration, we estimate the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled using recent historical data and applying the expected value method. Substantially all of the revenue generated from contracts with customers is recognized at, or near to, the time risk and title of the inventory transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment.

Overall, our estimates of adjustments to contract price due to variable consideration under our contracts with distributor customers, based on our assumptions, have been materially consistent with our actual results. However, these estimates are subject to management’s judgment and actual provisions could be different from our estimates, resulting in future adjustments to our revenue and operating results. A 100-basis point increase in the blended price concession rate would have changed the measurement of our refund liability recorded within accrued liabilities by $5.0 million as of March 31, 2025.50

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. We record a charge to cost of sales to write down our inventory for estimated excess, obsolete or unmarketable inventory in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those we projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory impairment charges establish a new cost basis for inventory and charges are not subsequently reversed to income even if circumstances later suggest that increased carrying amounts are recoverable. In determining whether there is a risk of excess or obsolete inventory, we evaluate projected demand over periods that align with demand forecasts used to develop manufacturing plans and inventory build decisions and write down inventory on hand that is in excess of estimated demand. Management reviews and adjusts the estimates as appropriate based on specific situations. For example, demand can be adjusted up for new products for which historic sales are not representative of future demand. Alternatively, demand can be adjusted down to the extent any existing products are being replaced or discontinued. A 1% variance in the estimated demand for our products would have changed the estimated net realizable value of our inventory by approximately $3.8 million as of March 31, 2025.

of variable consideration, we estimate the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled using recent historical data and applying the expected value method. Substantially all of the revenue generated from contracts with customers is recognized at, or near to, the time risk and title of the inventory transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment.

Inventories

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to record our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Various taxing authorities in the U.S. and other countries in which we do business may scrutinize the tax structures employed by businesses. Companies of our size and complexity are regularly audited by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which they conduct significant operations. We are currently being audited by the tax authorities in the U.S. and in various foreign jurisdictions. At this time, we do not know what the outcome of these audits will be. We record benefits for uncertain tax positions based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on their technical merits under currently enacted law. If this threshold is not met, no tax benefit of the uncertain tax position is recognized. If the threshold is met, we recognize the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

The accounting model related to the measurement of uncertain tax positions requires us to presume that the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information and that each tax position will be evaluated without consideration of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other positions. The recognition requirement for the liability exists even if we believe the possibility of examination by a taxing authority or discovery of the related risk matters is remote or where we have a long history of the taxing authority not performing an exam or overlooking an issue. We will record an adjustment to a previously recorded position if new information or facts related to the position are identified in a subsequent period. Generally, adjustments to the positions are recorded through the income statement. Generally, adjustments will be recorded in periods subsequent to the initial recognition in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, the closing of a statutory audit period or changes in applicable law, or interactions with taxing authorities. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the estimation process, including the complexity involved to interpret and apply tax laws, and in consideration of the criteria of the accounting model, amounts recognized in the financial statements in periods subsequent to the initial recognition may significantly differ from the estimated exposure of the position under the accounting model.

Net Sales

We operate in two industry segments and engage primarily in the design, development, manufacture and sale of semiconductor products as well as the licensing of our SuperFlash and other technologies. We sell our products to distributors and OEMs in a broad range of markets, perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally require no collateral. In certain circumstances, a customer's financial condition may require collateral, and, in such cases, the collateral would be typically provided in the form of letters of credit.

The following table summarizes our net sales for fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025 (dollars in millions):

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
		2025		2024		Change

Net sales		$	4,~~401~~713.61	$	74,~~634~~401.46	~~(42~~7.3)1	%

50The increase in net sales in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025 was primarily due to increased demand after customers reduced excess inventory levels as well as new customer design win activity entering production. Due to the size, complexity and diversity of our customer base, we are not able to quantify any material factor contributing to the changes in net sales. See our "Business and Macroeconomic Environment" discussion above for further information on our business outlook.

~~Table~~Other factors that we believe contributed to the changes in our reported net sales for fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025 and which are drivers of ~~Contents~~long-term trends in our net sales but which factors we are not able to quantify include:

The decrease in net sales in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was primarily due to adverse economic conditions, including slowing economic activity, increasing business uncertainty, persistent inflation, high interest rates, and shorter product lead times, which factors resulted in many customers having higher levels of inventory and delaying or reducing orders. Due to the size, complexity and diversity of our customer base, we are not able to quantify any material factor contributing to the changes in net sales. See our "Business and Macroeconomic Environment" discussion above for further information on our business outlook.

Other factors that we believe contributed to the decrease in our reported net sales for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 and which are drivers of long-term trends in our net sales but which factors we are not able to quantify include:

•economic and competitive conditions in the semiconductor industry;

•our various new product offerings that have increased our served available market;

•intense competition in our key markets;

•customers’ needs for the flexibility offered by our programmable solutions;

•increasing semiconductor content in our customers’ products; and

•geopolitical conditions, tariffs and other trade restrictions.

We sell a large number of products to a large and diverse customer base and there was not any single product or customer that accounted for a material portion of the ~~change~~changes in our net sales in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 or fiscal ~~2024~~2025.

Net sales by product line for fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025 were as follows (dollars in millions):

Mixed-signal Microcontrollers

Our mixed-signal microcontroller product line represents the largest component of our total net sales. Mixed-signal microcontrollers and associated application development systems accounted for approximately 5150.10% and 5651.01% of our net sales in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025, respectively.

Net sales of our mixed-signal microcontroller products ~~decreased~~increased approximately 474.37% in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025. The ~~decrease~~increase in net sales was primarily due to ~~adverse~~increased ~~economic~~demand ~~conditions,~~after ~~including~~customers ~~slowing~~reduced ~~economic~~excess ~~activity,~~inventory ~~increasing~~levels ~~business~~as ~~uncertainty,~~well ~~competitive~~as ~~pressures,~~new ~~persistent~~customer ~~inflation,~~design ~~high~~win ~~interest~~activity ~~rates,~~entering ~~and shorter product lead times, which factors resulted in many customers having higher levels of inventory and delaying or reducing orders~~production.

Historically, average selling prices in the semiconductor industry decrease over the life of any particular product. However, the overall average selling prices of our mixed-signal microcontroller products have remained relatively stable in recent periods due to the proprietary nature of these products. We have in the past been able to moderate average selling price declines in our mixed-signal microcontroller product lines by introducing new products with more features and higher prices.

Analog

Our analog product line includes analog, interface, mixed-signal and timing products. Our analog product line accounted for approximately 2628.32% and 26.43% of our net sales in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025, respectively.

Net sales from our analog product line ~~decreased~~increased approximately 4214.69% in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025. The ~~decrease~~increase in net sales was primarily due to ~~adverse~~increased ~~economic~~demand ~~conditions,~~due ~~including~~to ~~slowing~~a ~~economic~~portion ~~activity,~~of ~~increasing~~our ~~business~~customer ~~uncertainty,~~base ~~persistent~~having ~~inflation,~~reduced ~~high~~excess ~~interest~~inventory ~~rates,~~levels ~~and~~as ~~shorter~~well ~~product~~as ~~lead~~new ~~times,~~customer ~~which~~design ~~factors~~win ~~resulted~~activity inentering ~~many customers having higher levels of inventory and delaying or reducing orders~~production.

We consider a majority of the products in our analog product line to be proprietary in nature, where prices are relatively stable, similar to the pricing stability experienced in our mixed-signal microcontroller products. The non-proprietary portion of our analog product line will experience price fluctuations, driven primarily by the current supply and demand for those products.

Other

Our other product line includes FPGA products, royalties associated with licenses for the use of our SuperFlash and other technologies, sales of our intellectual property, fees for engineering services, memory products, timing systems, manufacturing services (wafer foundry and assembly and test subcontracting), legacy application specific integrated circuits, and certain products for aerospace applications. Revenue from these services and products accounted for approximately 2221.68% and 1722.6% of our net sales in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025, respectively.

Net sales related to these products and services ~~decreased~~increased approximately 263.14% in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025. ~~This~~The ~~decrease~~increase in net sales was primarily due to ~~adverse~~sales ~~economic~~of ~~conditions,~~certain ~~including~~of ~~slowing~~our ~~economic~~intellectual ~~activity,~~property ~~increasing~~rights ~~business uncertainty, persistent inflation, high interest rates,~~ and ~~shorter~~also ~~product~~due ~~lead~~to ~~times,~~a ~~which~~portion ~~factors resulted in many customers having higher levels~~ of ~~inventory and delaying or reducing orders.

Net sales of our other product line can fluctuate over time based on general economic and semiconductor industry conditions as well as changes in demand for our FPGA products, licenses, engineering services, memory products, timing systems, and manufacturing services (wafer foundry and assembly and test subcontracting).

Distribution

Distributors accounted for approximately 4547% and 4745% of our net sales in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025, respectively. With the exception of Arrow Electronics, our largest distributor, which accounted for 1012% and 1210% of our net sales in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and in fiscal ~~2024~~2025, respectively, no other distributor or direct customer accounted for more than 10% of our net sales induring ~~fiscal~~these ~~2025 or in fiscal 2024~~periods. Our distributors focus primarily on servicing the product requirements of a broad base of diverse customers. We believe that distributors provide an effective means of reaching this broad and diverse customer base and that customers recognize Microchip for its products and brand name and use distributors as an effective supply channel.

Generally, we do not have long-term agreements with our distributors and we, or our distributors, may terminate our relationships with each other with little or no advance notice. The loss of, or the disruption in the operations of, one or more of our distributors could reduce our future net sales in a given quarter and could result in an increase in inventory returns.

At March 31, 2025, our distributors maintained 33 days of inventory of our products compared to 41 days at March 31, 2024. Over the past ten fiscal years, the days of inventory maintained by our distributors have fluctuated between approximately 17 days and 43 days. Inventory holding patterns at our distributors have had a material adverse impact on our net sales in recent periods. Due to the relatively high level of inventory days, we have accommodated efforts by our distributors to manage their inventory levels by allowing them to push-out or cancel orders.53

Sales by Geography

Sales by geography for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 were as follows (dollars in millions):

	Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
		2025		%	2024		%
Americas		$	1,325.7	30.2	$	2,215.4	29.0

Americas sales include sales to customers in the U.S., Canada, Central America and South America. Sales to foreign customers accounted for approximately 75% of our total net sales in each of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. The decrease in net sales in the European market in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was due to general weakness in the European economy, and decreases in our net sales in the European industrial and automotive markets, which were particularly weak. Our net sales in the Americas and Asia market decreased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, primarily due to adverse economic conditions, including slowing economic activity, persistent inflation, high interest rates, and shorter product lead times which resulted in delayed or reduced orders. Substantially all of our foreign sales are U.S. dollar denominated. Our sales force in the Americas and Europe supports a significant portion of the design activity for products which are ultimately shipped to Asia.

At March 31, 2026, our distributors maintained 26 days of inventory of our products compared to 33 days at March 31, 2025. Over the past ten fiscal years, the days of inventory maintained by our distributors have fluctuated between approximately 17 days and 43 days. Inventory holding patterns at our distributors had a material adverse impact on our net sales in fiscal 2025 and the first half of 2026, as our distributors held relatively high levels of inventory and purchased fewer products from us.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 was $2.4772 billion, or 5657.17% of net sales, compared to $52.0047 billion, or 6556.41% of net sales, in fiscal ~~2024~~2025.

The primary ~~reason~~reasons for the ~~decrease~~increase in gross profit of $2253.342 ~~billion~~million in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025 ~~was~~were andue ~~unfavorable~~to ~~net~~changes ~~impact~~in ~~of sales volume,~~ product mix, ~~geographic~~higher ~~mix,~~licensing revenue and ~~average~~lower ~~gross~~inventory ~~profit per unit in fiscal 2025~~reserves. The net impact of product mix ~~and average gross profit per unit~~ may fluctuate over time due to the mix of sales volumes of lower or higher margin products, changes in selling prices, and fluctuations in product costs. We are not able to separately quantify these impacts on our gross profit. The impact of unabsorbed capacity charges was an ~~adverse~~unfavorable impact of $~~132~~27.38 million in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025. Unabsorbed capacity charges are expensed as incurred when we operate our manufacturing facilities below normal levels. The net impact to our gross profit from inventory reserve charges was ana ~~adverse~~favorable impact of $87115.73 million in fiscal ~~2025~~2026, compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025. The gross margin impact of changes in licensing revenue, which has no associated cost of sales, was a favorable impact of $2732.7 million in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025.

Our overall inventory levels were $1.2904 billion at March 31, ~~2025~~2026, compared to $1.3229 billion at March 31, ~~2024~~2025. We maintained ~~251~~185 days of inventory on our balance sheet at March 31, ~~2025~~2026 compared to ~~224~~251 days of inventory at March 31, ~~2024~~2025. Our overall inventory level in dollars ~~was~~and ~~generally~~days ~~flat~~decreased as a result of our efforts to balance manufacturing production, customer demand and inventory levels. ~~However, our days of inventory increased significantly due to lower net sales.~~ Our inventory amounts are impacted by timing of shipment activity in the quarter, the timing of receipt of raw materials, foundry wafers, and strategic last time buy materials and completion of finished goods. We ~~believe that our current inventory and production capacity are adequate to fulfill the projected requirements of our customers.~~

We operate assembly and test facilities in Thailand, ~~the Philippines,~~ and ~~other locations throughout~~ the ~~world~~Philippines. ~~During~~Approximately ~~fiscal 2025, approximately~~ 67% of our assembly requirements were performed in our internal assembly facilities, ~~compared~~during toeach ~~approximately~~of ~~59%~~fiscal ~~during~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025. During fiscal ~~2025~~2026, approximately 6769% of our test requirements were performed in our internal facilities, compared to approximately 7167% during fiscal ~~2024~~2025. The percentage of our assembly and test operations that are performed internally fluctuates over time based on supply and demand conditions in the semiconductor industry, our internal capacity capabilities and our acquisition activities. We believe that the assembly and test operations performed at our internal facilities provide us with significant cost savings compared to third-party contractor assembly and test costs, as well as increased control over these portions of the manufacturing process. In addition, we have specialized assembly and test facilities dedicated to our aerospace and defense products in Germany, France, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Thailand, and the United States. These facilities are designed to support the unique requirements of these sectors, helping to accelerate time to market and ensure consistent, high-quality products. We plan to continue to selectively invest in assembly and test equipment to increase our internal capacity capabilities and transition certain outsourced assembly and test capacity to our internal facilities.

We rely on outside wafer foundries for a significant portion of our wafer fabrication requirements. Approximately 64% of our net sales came from products that were produced at outside wafer foundries in each of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. This percentage may vary based on supply and demand conditions in the market.54

We rely on outside wafer foundries for a significant portion of our wafer fabrication requirements. During fiscal 2026, approximately 65% of our net sales came from products that were produced at outside wafer foundries, compared to approximately 64% during fiscal 2025. This percentage may vary based on supply and demand conditions in the market.

We anticipate that our gross margins will fluctuate over time, driven primarily by capacity utilization levels, the overall mix of products sold during the period, as well as manufacturing yields, unabsorbed capacity charges, and competitive and economic conditions in the markets we serve. We continue to transition products to more advanced process technologies to reduce future manufacturing costs.

Research and Development

R&D expenses for fiscal ~~2025~~2026 were $~~983~~1.809 ~~million~~billion, or 2223.40% of net sales, compared to $1983.108 ~~billion~~million, or 1422.4% of net sales, for fiscal ~~2024~~2025. We are committed to investing in new and enhanced products, including development systems software, and in our design and manufacturing process technologies. We believe these investments are significant factors in maintaining our competitive position. R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Assets purchased to support our ongoing research and development activities are capitalized when related to products which have achieved technological feasibility or that have alternative future uses and are amortized over their expected useful lives. R&D expenses include labor, depreciation, masks, prototype wafers, and expenses for the development of process technologies, new packages, and software to support new products and design environments.

R&D expenses ~~decreased~~increased $~~113~~102.61 million, or 10.4%, for fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025. The primary reasons for the ~~decrease~~increase in R&D expenses in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025 ~~was~~were ~~lower~~higher employee compensation costs, including higher share-based compensation partially offset by our restructuring efforts.

R&D expenses fluctuate over time, primarily due to revenue and operating expense investment levels.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal ~~2025~~2026 were $~~617~~674.73 million, or 14.03% of net sales, compared to $~~734~~617.27 million, or 914.60% of net sales, for fiscal ~~2024~~2025. Our goal is to continue to be more efficient with our selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include salary expenses related to field sales, marketing and administrative personnel, advertising and promotional expenditures and legal expenses as well as costs related to our direct sales force, CEMs and ~~ESEs~~FAEs who work ~~remotely~~to stimulate demand from sales offices worldwide ~~to stimulate demand~~ by assisting customers in the selection and use of our products.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

Amortization of acquired intangible assets in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 was $~~490~~431.91 million compared to $~~605~~490.49 million in fiscal ~~2024~~2025. The primary reason for the decrease in acquired intangible asset amortization was due to the use of accelerated amortization methods for assets placed in service in previous fiscal years.

Special Charges ~~(Income)~~ and Other, Net

During fiscal ~~2025~~2026, we incurred special charges and other, net of $7939.27 million primarily due to restructuring expenses, including $4521.78 million related to ~~contract~~the ~~exit~~closure ~~costs~~of our Tempe, Arizona wafer fabrication facility and $2714.15 million related to ~~employee~~contract ~~separation~~exit costs.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 was $911.24 million compared to $79.62 million in fiscal ~~2024~~2025.

Interest expense in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 was $~~259~~221.23 million compared to $~~198~~259.32 million in fiscal ~~2024~~2025. The primary reasons for the ~~increase~~decrease in interest expense in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to fiscal ~~2024~~2025 were ~~higher~~lower ~~interest rates on our outstanding variable rate~~ debt ~~and higher outstanding debt~~ balances, ~~offset~~and ~~in part by~~ lower interest ~~expense on our revolving credit facility~~rates.

Other loss, net, in fiscal 2025 was $5.7 million compared to other loss, net of $2.2 million in fiscal 2024. The primary reason for the change in other loss during fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 relates to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is attributable to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, ~~2025~~2026, ~~increased~~decreased over the same period last year as a result of changes in the amount of pre-tax income earned, R&D credits, ~~foreign~~and ~~operations~~the ~~and~~effects ~~various~~of ~~tax~~foreign ~~reserves~~operations.

Our effective tax rate in fiscal 2026 includes a $55.6 million tax benefit received from current year generated R&D credits, which reduced our effective tax rate by 20.3%; an $83.0 million tax benefit for the notional interest deduction, which reduced our effective tax rate by 30.4%; and a $119.6 million tax expense for the effects of foreign operations, which increased our effective tax rate by 43.7%.

Our effective tax rate in fiscal 2025 includes a $60.1 million tax benefit received from current year generated R&D credits, which reduced our effective tax rate by 154.4%; a $55.0 million tax expense for the effects of foreign operations, which increased our effective tax rate by 141.3%; and a $45.1 million tax expense related to changes in various tax reserves, which increased our effective tax rate by 115.8%.

54In September 2021, we received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (2007 to 2012 Notice) from the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2012. The disputed amounts largely relate to transfer pricing matters. In December 2021, we filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court challenging the 2007 to 2012 Notice. In September 2023, we received a Revenue Agent Report (RAR) from the IRS for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2016. In October 2023, we received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (2014 to 2015 Notice) from the IRS for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015. The disputed amounts for fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2016 largely relate to transfer pricing matters. In December 2023, we filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court challenging the 2014 to 2015 Notice. In September 2025, we reached a settlement with the IRS for fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2015.

In May 2023, we received a proposed income adjustment from the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (IRB) for fiscal 2020. In December 2023, we received a Notice of Assessment from the IRB asserting the same proposed income adjustment. In March 2025, we entered into a Consent Judgment before the High Court, agreeing that the dispute will be heard before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax (SCIT). It was also agreed that the payment on the taxes assessed is stayed and the IRB will pause all enforcement and proceedings against the collection of the taxes assessed until the appeal before the SCIT is concluded. If the adjustment is upheld by the highest court that has jurisdiction over this matter in Malaysia, it could result in income taxes and penalties up to MYR 1.9 billion (approximately $480.2 million based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2026). The disputed amounts largely relate to the characterization of certain assets. The timing of adjudicating this matter is uncertain but could occur in the next 18 months.

We firmly believe that the IRB assessment is without merit and we plan to pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve the matter. We intend to vigorously defend our position, and we are confident in our ability to prevail on the merits. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from examinations such as these to determine the adequacy of our tax reserves. The ultimate outcome of disputes of this nature is uncertain, and if the IRB were to prevail on its assertions, the assessed tax, penalties, and deficiency interest could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Various taxing authorities in the U.S. and other countries in which we do business are increasing their scrutiny of the tax structures employed by businesses. Companies of our size and complexity are regularly audited by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which they conduct significant operations. For U.S. federal, and in general for U.S. state tax returns, our fiscal 2007 and later tax returns remain effectively open for examination by the taxing authorities. We are currently being audited by the tax authorities in the U.S. and in various foreign jurisdictions. At this time, we do not know what the outcome of these audits will be. We record benefits for uncertain tax positions based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on their technical merits under currently enacted law.

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act into law. The Inflation Reduction Act includes a new corporate alternative minimum tax (Corporate AMT) of 15.0% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.00 billion over a three-year period, as well as a 1% excise tax on the net fair market value of stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. The Corporate AMT is effective beginning in fiscal 2024. The Inflation Reduction Act did not have a material impact on the year ending March 31, 2025 and the year ending March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, 55 countries have enacted various aspects of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project to ensure that multinational enterprises pay a GMT. In 38 of those countries, the GMT is effective for tax years beginning in our fiscal 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the impact of GMT on our fiscal 2025 results is not material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had $~~771~~240.73 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, ~~2025~~2026, ana ~~increase~~decrease of $~~452~~531.04 million from the March 31, ~~2024~~2025 balance.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $~~898~~962.1 million in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 primarily due to net ~~loss~~income of $0230.50 million, adjusted for non-cash and non-operating charges of $~~798~~899.58 million and net cash ~~inflows~~outflows of $~~100~~167.17 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The primary drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 include aan ~~decrease~~increase in trade accounts receivable driven primarily by ~~reduced~~higher revenue and timing of shipments and collections, a decrease in ~~inventories,~~income ~~offset~~tax bypayable ~~decreases~~due into ~~accrued~~tax ~~liabilities~~payments ~~driven~~and bysettlements, ~~decreases~~a decrease in ~~sales~~accrued ~~related~~liabilities ~~reserves,~~ and aother ~~decrease~~long-term liabilities primarily due to cash refunded to our customers under ~~the~~certain LTSAs, offset by a decrease in inventories as a result of our efforts to balance manufacturing production, customer demand and inventory levels. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2898.891 ~~billion~~million in fiscal ~~2024~~2025 primarily due to net ~~income~~loss of $10.915 ~~billion~~million, adjusted for non-cash and non-operating charges of $1798.065 ~~billion~~million and net cash ~~outflows~~inflows of $76100.71 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $~~287~~195.85 million for fiscal ~~2025~~2026 compared to $~~392~~287.18 million for fiscal ~~2024~~2025. ~~Fiscal~~In ~~2025~~fiscal 2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025, investing cash flows primarily related to capital purchases and investments in other assets.

Our level of capital expenditures varies from time to time as a result of actual and anticipated business conditions. Capital expenditures were $~~126~~91.01 million and $~~285~~126.10 million in fiscal ~~2025~~2026 and fiscal ~~2024~~2025, respectively. Capital expenditures were primarily for the selective expansion of production capacity and the addition of research and development equipment. Consistent with the slowing macroeconomic environment in fiscal 2025, we ~~have~~ paused most of our factory expansion actions and reduced our planned capital investments through fiscal ~~2026~~2027. Our investments in equipment and facilities during the next 12 months are expected to be atapproximately ~~or below~~ $100.0 million. We believe that the capital expenditures anticipated to be incurred over the next 12 months will provide sufficient manufacturing capacity to support the growth of our production capabilities for our new products and technologies and to bring in-house more of the assembly and test operations that are currently outsourced. We expect to finance our capital expenditures through our existing cash balances and cash flows from operations. While select investments are still being made, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we paused most of our expansion activity. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we announced the closure of Fab 2 in Tempe, Arizona which was completed in May 2025. Despite pausing our expansion activity, we believe that our current inventory and production capacity are adequate to fulfill the projected requirements of our customers. In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the CHIPS Act to provide billions of dollars of cash incentives and a new investment tax credit to increase domestic manufacturing capacity in our industry. In December 2023, we reached a Preliminary Memorandum of Terms with the U.S. Department of Commerce for $162 million in CHIPS Act grants for two of our U.S. wafer fabrication facilities; however, we have not concluded negotiations with the U.S. Department of Commerce and there can be no assurance that the grants will receive final approval. If we do receive a CHIPS Act grant, the restrictions and operational requirements that are imposed on CHIPS Act grant recipients could add complexity to our operations and increase our costs. We expect to receive the cash benefit associated with the investment tax credit for qualifying capital expenditures in future periods and may apply for other incentives provided by the legislation; however, there can be no assurance that we will receive any such other incentives, what the amount and timing of any incentive we receive will be, as to which other companies will receive incentives and whether the legislation will have a positive or negative impact on our competitive position.

•in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, we repurchased shares of our common stock for $96.5 million and $982.1 million, respectively.

In March 2025, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to which the amended and restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2021 was amended and restated in its entirety. The second amended and restated Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.25 billion, with a $250.0 million foreign currency sublimit, a $25.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a $20.0 million swingline loan sublimit. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended the maximum total leverage ratio financial covenant to the following: 5.50 to 1.00 for period ending March 31, 2025, 5.50 to 1.00 for period ending June 30, 2025, 6.25 to 1.00 for period ending September 30, 2025, 5.75 to 1.00 for period ending December 31, 2025, 4.75 to 1.00 for period ending March 31, 2026, 4.00 to 1.00 for period ending June 30, 2026, 3.75 to 1.00 for period ending September 30, 2026, and 3.50 to 1.00 for any such period ended after the Restatement Effective Date that is not a period ending during the Covenant Relief Period. The Covenant Relief Period means the period following the Restatement Effective Date to (but excluding) the earlier of (a) December 31, 2026 and (b) the date in which the Total Leverage Ratio for the most recently ended fiscal quarter shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 and certain other conditions are satisfied. In November 2024, the amended and restated Credit Agreement, was amended to amend the maximum total leverage ratio financial covenant for the quarterly periods ending on December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2025 to 4.75 to 1.00. In August 2023, our amended and restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2021 was amended by the first incremental term loan amendment, dated as of August 31, 2023. Pursuant to this amendment, we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million under the new 2025 Term Loan Facility bearing interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, plus a margin of 1.125% to 1.5%, or Alternate Base Rate, plus a margin of 0.125% to 0.5%, with a maturity date of August 31, 2025, which was repaid in full in December 2024. The interest rate margins are determined based on our credit ratings.

In September 2023, we established a Commercial Paper program under which we may issue short-term unsecured promissory notes up to a maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of $2.75 billion with a maturity of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The Commercial Paper is sold from time to time at a discount from par or alternatively, sold at par and bears interest rates that will vary based on market conditions and the time of issuance. Our intention is to reduce the amounts that would otherwise be available to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility by the outstanding amount of Commercial Paper. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in March 2025, the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time under the Commercial Paper program was updated to $2.25 billion. As of March 31, 2025, the principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness was $5.66 billion. We had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2025 and at March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, we had $175.0 million in outstanding principal amount of Commercial Paper compared to $1.36 billion at March 31, 2024.

In March 2025, we issued 29.7 million Depositary Shares, representing approximately 1.5 million shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has a $1,000.00 per share liquidation preference and $0.001 per share par value. As a result of the transaction, we received cash proceeds of $1.45 billion, net of underwriting fees and other issuance costs.

Our current intent is to maintain our level of quarterly cash dividends depending upon market conditions, our results of operations, and potential changes in tax laws.

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity combined with cash generated from operations, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and proceeds from issuance of our Commercial Paper will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily arise from working capital requirements, interest and principal repayments related to our outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, cash dividends, share repurchases, and income tax payments. For additional information regarding our cash requirements see "Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies", "Note 10. Leases", "Note 6. Debt" and "Note 12. Income Taxes" to our consolidated financial statements.

The timing and amount of ~~any such financing requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the maturity dates of~~ our ~~existing debt, our level of dividend payments on our~~ common stock ~~and Series A Preferred Stock, changes in tax laws and regulations regarding the repatriation of offshore cash, demand~~ for ~~our products, changes in industry conditions, product mix, competitive factors and our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates~~$96.

There can be no assurance that any financing will be available on acceptable terms due to uncertainties resulting from tariffs, high interest rates, high inflation, economic uncertainty, instability in the banking sector, public health concerns, or other factors, and any additional equity financing or convertible debt financing would result in incremental ownership dilution to our existing stockholders.

In March 2025, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) pursuant to which the Credit Agreement, was amended and restated in its entirety. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.25 billion, with a $250.0 million foreign currency sublimit, a $25.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a $20.0 million swingline loan sublimit.

The Covenant Relief Period means the period following the Restatement Effective Date to (but excluding) the earlier of (a) December 31, 2026 and (b) the date in which the Total Leverage Ratio for the most recently ended fiscal quarter shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 and certain other conditions are satisfied.

In September 2023, we established a Commercial Paper program under which we may issue short-term unsecured promissory notes. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time under the Commercial Paper program is $2.25 billion with a maturity of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The Commercial Paper is sold from time to time at a discount from par or alternatively, sold at par and bears interest rates that will vary based on market conditions and the time of issuance. Our intent is to reduce the amounts that would otherwise be available to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility by the outstanding amount of Commercial Paper. As of March 31, 2026, the principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness was $5.54 billion. We had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2026 and at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, we had $349.0 million outstanding principal amount of Commercial Paper compared to $175.0 million at March 31, 2025.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

In November 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $4.00 billion of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. No shares were repurchased under this authorization fiscal 2026. In fiscal 2025, we repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock for $90.0 million under this authorization. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $1.56 billion remained available for repurchases under the program. As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately 36.3 million shares as treasury shares. Any future repurchases of shares of our common stock will be evaluated based on our cash generation, leverage metrics, and market conditions.

In October 2002, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved and instituted a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock. To date, our cumulative dividend payments on our common stock have totaled approximately $8.61 billion. A quarterly dividend of $0.455 per share of common stock was declared on May 7, 2026 and will be paid on June 5, 2026 to stockholders of record as of May 22, 2026. We expect the aggregate cash dividend on our common stock for the June 2026 quarter to be approximately $246.9 million. Our Board is free to change our dividend practices at any time and to increase or decrease the dividend paid, or not to pay a dividend on our common stock on the basis of our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board. Our current intent is to maintain our level of quarterly cash dividends depending upon market conditions, our results of operations, and potential changes in tax laws.

With respect to shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, dividends are cumulative at an annual rate of 7.50% on the liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. To date, our cumulative dividend payments on our Series A Preferred Stock have totaled approximately $108.5 million. A quarterly cash dividend of $18.750 per share of Series A Preferred Stock was declared on May 7, 2026 and will be paid on June 15, 2026 to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock of record as of June 1, 2026.

We may increase our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility or our Commercial Paper program or seek additional equity or debt financing from time to time to refinance our existing debt, maintain or expand our wafer fabrication and product assembly and test facilities, for cash dividends, for share repurchases or for acquisitions or other purposes. In addition, the holders of our 2024 Senior Convertible Debt can require us to repurchase such debt on June 1, 2027 if the price per share of our common stock is less than the conversion price of such debt on the applicable measurement date. Our intention is to finance any required repurchase of the 2024 Senior Convertible Debt by using availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, our Commercial Paper program or other debt or equity financing. The timing and amount of any such financing requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the maturity dates of our existing debt, our level of dividend payments on our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, changes in tax laws and regulations regarding the repatriation of offshore cash, demand for our products, changes in industry conditions, product mix, competitive factors and our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, we evaluated under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our internal control over financial reporting. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance because a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, the end of our fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management's assessment included an evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. This assessment is supported by testing and monitoring performed by our finance organization.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Microchip Technology Incorporated

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Microchip Technology Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, ~~2025~~2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, ~~2025~~2026, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated May 2221, ~~2025~~2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Unrecognized tax benefits

Description of the Matter						As more fully described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and ~~some~~certain of its income tax returns are being examined by local tax authorities that have ~~challenged~~disputed ~~select~~ tax positions taken on their local returns. Because the matters ~~challenged~~disputed by authorities can be complex and subject to interpretation, their ultimate outcome ~~can~~is be uncertain. ~~For~~The ~~select tax positions the~~ Company uses significant judgment in (1) determining whether a tax position, based on its technical merits, it is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination and (2) measuring the amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition. Auditing the recognition and measurement of unrecognized tax benefits for ~~the~~certain ~~select~~ positions that are currently being ~~challenged~~disputed by local tax authorities was challenging and required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased extent of effort, including the involvement of our tax professionals, because interpreting and applying tax laws can be complex.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit						We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s accounting process for ~~the~~unrecognized ~~select~~ tax ~~positions that are currently being challenged by local tax authorities~~benefits. This included testing controls over management’s review of the technical merits of ~~these~~the ~~select~~ tax positions, including the process to evaluate whether there is new information relevant to ~~the select~~ tax positions that are being ~~challenged~~disputed by local tax authorities.Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the judgments the Company made to ~~develop~~evaluate information relevant to the ~~select~~certain tax positions and related unrecognized tax benefit. We involved our tax professionals, including ~~international tax, transfer pricing and~~ local professionals located in ~~the~~ relevant jurisdictions, who used their knowledge and experience to assess the technical merits of ~~these~~the tax positions and to evaluate the application of relevant tax laws in the Company’s recognition determination. We assessed the Company’s correspondence with the relevant tax authorities and, ~~as applicable,~~ evaluated ~~tax opinions or other third-party advice obtained by~~ the ~~Company. We also evaluated the~~ adequacy of the Company’s disclosures included in Note 12 in relation to these ~~select~~ tax ~~positions~~matters.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Microchip Technology Incorporated

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Microchip Technology Incorporated and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Microchip Technology Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~2024~~2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, ~~2025~~2026, and the related notes and our report dated May 2221, ~~2025~~2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are 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.

MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Microchip Technology Incorporated (Microchip or the Company) develops, manufactures and sells smart, connected and secure embedded control solutions used by its customers for a wide variety of applications. The Company provides cost-effective embedded control solutions that also offer the advantages of small size, high performance, extreme low power usage, wide voltage range operation, mixed-signal integration, and ease of development, thus enabling timely and cost-effective integration of the Company's solutions by its customers in their end products.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Microchip and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in these notes, except per share amounts, are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and such changes are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of semiconductor products to distributors and non-distributor customers (direct customers) and, to a lesser extent, from royalties paid by licensees of intellectual property. The Company applies the following five-step approach to determine the timing and amount of revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.

Sales of semiconductor products to customers are governed by a purchase order, an order acknowledgment, and a distributor agreement in the case of the Company's distributor customers. Sales to customers do not meet the definition of a contract until the customer has sent in a purchase order, the Company has acknowledged the order, the Company has deemed the collectability of the consideration to be probable, and legally enforceable rights and obligations have been created. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, the Company offers price concessions and stock rotation rights to many of its distributors. As these are forms of variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which they will be entitled using recent historical data and applying the expected value method. Substantially all of the revenue generated from contracts with customers is recognized at, or near to, the time risk and title of the inventory transfers to the customer.

The Company entered into LTSAs with certain of its customers that purchase through distributors or directly from the Company. Under these LTSAs, the Company receives an upfront deposit and minimum purchase commitments from the customer in exchange for assured supply over the contract period, which typically ranges from three years to five years. If the customer meets the minimum purchase commitments defined in the contract, the Company returns the deposit to the customer. If not, the Company may retain all, or a portion of the deposit which will be recognized as revenue as the remaining performance obligations under the LTSAs are satisfied. ~~Certain~~Upfront ~~upfront~~ deposits collected by the Company are recorded as deferred revenue in accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities depending on the expected timing of the satisfaction of the underlying performance obligations.

Revenue generated from licensees is governed by licensing agreements. The Company's primary performance obligation related to these agreements is to provide the licensee the right to use the intellectual property. The final transaction price is determined by multiplying the usage of the license by the royalty, which is fixed in the licensing agreement. Revenue is recognized as usage of the license occurs.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Assets purchased to support the Company's ongoing research and development activities are capitalized when related to products which have achieved technological feasibility or that have alternative future uses and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Research and development expenses include expenditures for labor, share-based payments, depreciation, masks, prototype wafers, and expenses for development of process technologies, new packages, and software to support new products and design environments.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges are included within special charges and other, net in the consolidated statements of operations and are primarily comprised of employee separation costs, contract exit costs, costs of facility consolidation and closure, including the related gains or losses associated with the sale of assets. Employee separation costs include one-time termination benefits that are recognized as a liability at estimated fair value at the time of communication to employees, unless future service is required, in which case the costs are recognized ratably over the future service period. Ongoing termination benefits are recognized as a liability at estimated fair value when the amount of such benefits is probable and reasonably estimable. Contract exit costs include contract termination fees. A liability for contract termination fees is recognized in the period in which the Company terminates the contract.

Foreign Currency Translation

~~Substantially~~All ~~all~~ of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are considered to be extensions of the U.S. company and any translation gains and losses related to these subsidiaries are included in other income (loss), net in the consolidated statements of income. As the U.S. dollar is utilized as the functional currency, gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries' functional currency) are also included in income.

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to record its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates.

Various taxing authorities in the U.S. and other countries in which the Company does business may scrutinize the tax structures employed by businesses. Companies of a similar size and complexity as the Company are regularly audited by the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which they conduct significant operations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, ~~2025~~2026, various jurisdictions finalized their audits for certain periods. The close of these audits did not have a material adverse impact on the financial statements. The Company is currently being audited by the tax authorities in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. At this time, the Company does not know what the outcome of these audits will be. The Company records benefits for uncertain tax positions based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on their technical merits under currently enacted law. If this threshold is not met, no tax benefit of the uncertain tax position is recognized. If the threshold is met, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

The accounting model related to the measurement of uncertain tax positions requires the Company to presume that the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information and that each tax position will be evaluated without consideration of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other positions. The recognition requirement for the liability exists even if the Company believes the possibility of examination by a taxing authority or discovery of the related risk matters is remote or where it has a long history of the taxing authority not performing an exam or overlooking an issue. The Company will record an adjustment to a previously recorded position if new information or facts related to the position are identified in a subsequent period. Generally, adjustments to the positions are recorded through the income statement. Generally, adjustments will be recorded in periods subsequent to the initial recognition in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, the closing of a statutory audit period, changes in applicable law, or interactions with taxing authorities. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the estimation process, including the complexity involved to interpret and apply tax laws, and in consideration of the criteria of the accounting model, amounts recognized in the financial statements in periods subsequent to the initial recognition may significantly differ from the estimated exposure of the position under the accounting model.

In December 2017, the TCJA was enacted into law and established a new provision designed to tax low-taxed income of foreign subsidiaries known as global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI). The FASB allows taxpayers to make an accounting policy election of either (i) treating taxes due on GILTI inclusions as a current-period expense when incurred or (ii) recognizing

F-1211

Table of Contents

~~policy election of either (i) treating taxes due on GILTI inclusions as a current-period expense when incurred or (ii) recognizing~~ deferred taxes for temporary basis differences that are expected to reverse as GILTI in future years. The Company has made a policy choice to treat taxes due on GILTI inclusions as a current-period expense when incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments, including marketable securities with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less when acquired are considered to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory costs generally consist of material, labor, depreciation and overhead costs. The Company records a charge to cost of sales to write down its inventory for estimated excess, obsolete or unmarketable inventory in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory impairment charges establish a new cost basis for inventory and charges are not subsequently reversed to income even if circumstances later suggest that increased carrying amounts are recoverable. In determining whether there is a risk of excess or obsolete inventory, the Company evaluates projected demand over periods that align with demand forecasts used to develop manufacturing plans and inventory build decisions and writes down inventory on hand that is in excess of estimated demand. Management reviews and adjusts the estimates as appropriate based on specific situations. For example, demand can be adjusted up for new products for which historic sales are not representative of future demand. Alternatively, demand can be adjusted down to the extent any existing products are being replaced or discontinued.

The valuation of inventory includes determining which fixed production overhead costs can be included in inventory based on the normal operating capacity of the Company's manufacturing facilities. In periods where the Company's production levels are below normal operating capacity, unabsorbed overhead production costs associated with the reduced production levels of the Company's manufacturing facilities are charged directly to cost of sales.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are ~~stated~~recorded at cost~~. Major~~ ~~renewals~~ and ~~improvements~~depreciated are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. The Company's property and equipment accounting policies incorporate estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to the useful lives of its property and equipment. Depreciation is provided for assets placed in service on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ~~of the relative assets~~, which range from 10 to 30 years for buildings and building improvements and 5 to 7 years for machinery and equipment. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may be impaired. Asset impairment evaluations are, by nature, highly subjective.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Operating lease arrangements are comprised primarily of real estate and equipment agreements for which the ROU assets are included in other assets and the corresponding lease liabilities, depending on their maturity, are included in accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease ROU assets also include any initial direct costs and prepayments less lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.

As the Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Debt

The Company presents short-term debt obligations, which include debt obligations with a contractual maturity within 12 months of the balance sheet date and Convertible Debt that is convertible as of the balance sheet date, as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets when the Company has the intent and ability to utilize proceeds from its Revolving Credit Facility to refinance such debt on a long-term basis. Discounts and issuance costs directly related to the issuance of debt are amortized over the term as interest expense under the effective interest rate method or on a straight-line basis in the case of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company accounts for its Convertible Debt as a single liability with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The Company accounts for privately negotiated settlements of its Convertible Debt as induced conversions, resulting in an inducement loss measured as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the original terms of the instrument on the acceptance date. The remaining consideration transferred, after reducing the carrying amount of the Convertible Debt, is recorded as a reduction to additional paidF-in-capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Prior to conversion of its Convertible Debt, the Company includes, in the diluted net income per common share calculation, the effect of the additional shares that may be issued when the Company's common stock price exceeds the conversion price using the if-converted method. The Company's Convertible Debt has no impact on diluted net income per common share unless the average price of the Company's common stock exceeds the conversion price because the Company is required to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Debt in cash upon conversion.12

Facility to refinance such debt on a long-term basis. Discounts and issuance costs directly related to the issuance of debt are amortized over the term as interest expense under the effective interest rate method or on a straight-line basis in the case of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company accounts for its Convertible Debt as a single liability with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features that do not require bifurcation. The Company accounts for privately negotiated settlements of its Convertible Debt as induced conversions, resulting in an inducement loss measured as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the original terms of the instrument on the acceptance date. The remaining consideration transferred, after reducing the carrying amount of the Convertible Debt, is recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Prior to conversion of its Convertible Debt, the Company includes, in the diluted net income per common share calculation, the effect of the additional shares that may be issued when the Company's common stock price exceeds the conversion price using the if-converted method. The Company's Convertible Debt has no impact on diluted net income per common share unless the average price of the Company's common stock exceeds the conversion price because the Company is required to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Debt in cash upon conversion.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans, covering certain of its foreign employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs and pension obligations are determined based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including discount rates for plan obligations, and assumed rates of compensation increases for employees participating in plans. These assumptions are based upon management's judgment and consultation with actuaries, considering all known trends and uncertainties.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to various liabilities as a result of contracts, product liability, customer claims and other matters. Additionally, the Company is involved in a limited number of legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant. Consequently, the Company could incur uninsured liability in any of those actions. The Company also periodically receives notifications from various third parties alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights, or from customers requesting reimbursement for various costs. With respect to pending legal actions to which the Company is a party and other claims, although the outcomes are generally not determinable, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Litigation and disputes relating to the semiconductor industry are not uncommon, and the Company is, from time to time, subject to such litigation and disputes. As a result, no assurances can be given with respect to the extent or outcome of any such litigation or disputes in the future.

The Company accrues for claims and contingencies when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, the Company reviews each of its matters and, where it is probable that a liability has been or will be incurred, it accrues for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where the Company can reasonably estimate a range of losses it may incur regarding such a matter, it records an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes its best estimate. If the Company can reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, it uses the amount that is the low end of such range.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company's intangible assets include goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Other intangible assets include existing technologies, core and developed technology, in-process research and development, trademarks and trade names, ~~distribution rights~~ and customer-related intangibles. In-process research and development is capitalized until such time as the related projects are completed or abandoned at which time the capitalized amounts will begin to be amortized or written off. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of goodwill and in-process research and development intangible assets that have not yet been placed in service. All other intangible assets are definite-lived intangible assets, including in-process research and development assets that have been placed in service, and are amortized over their respective estimated lives, ranging from 1 to 15 years.

FThe Company is required to perform an impairment review of indefinite-14lived intangible assets, including goodwill annually, and more frequently under certain circumstances. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are subjected to this annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year. The Company engages primarily in the development,

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate definite-lived intangible assets may be impaired, the Company evaluates the recoverability and estimated useful lives of such assets. If such indicators are present, recoverability is evaluated based on whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset (group) in question is less than their carrying value. If less, the Company measures the fair value of the asset (group) and recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their respective fair values.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present. If such indicators are present, the Company determines whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset groups in question is less than their carrying value. If less, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset groups over their respective fair values. Fair value is determined by discounted future cash flows, appraisals or other methods. If the assets determined to be impaired are to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss through a charge to operating results to the extent the present value of anticipated net cash flows attributable to the asset group are less than the asset's carrying value. The Company would depreciate the remaining value over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset groups.

Government Incentives

The Company receives government incentives for qualifying capital investments, research and development, and other activities as defined by the relevant government entities awarding the grants. Government grants, including non-income tax incentives, are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions specified in the grant agreement. The Company records capital-related grants as a reduction to property, plant and equipment within the consolidated balance sheets and recognizes a reduction to depreciation expense over the useful life of the corresponding asset. The Company records operating grants as a reduction to expense in the same line item on the consolidated statements of income as the expenditure for which the grant is intended to compensate. As of March 31, ~~2025~~2026, the Company recorded $4652.42 million of capital-related grants as a reduction to property, plant and equipment with a corresponding offset of $31.46 million within other assets and $3638.06 million as a reduction to income taxes payable within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, ~~2024~~2025, the Company recorded $~~126~~46.54 million of capital-related grants as a reduction to property, plant and equipment with a corresponding offset of $933.24 million within other assets and $2736.30 million as a reduction to income taxes payable within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized an immaterial benefit to operating income for operating grants and the reduction of depreciation expense for capital-related grants in each of fiscal ~~2025~~2026, fiscal ~~2024~~2025, and fiscal ~~2023~~2024.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has equity incentive plans under which RSUs have been granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The Company uses RSUs with a service condition as its primary equity incentive compensation instrument for employees and also grants performance-based PSUs to executive officers and employees. The Company also has employee stock purchase plans for eligible employees. Share-based compensation cost for RSUs with a service condition or performance-based PSUs is measured on the grant date based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock discounted for expected future dividends and is recognized as expense on a straight-line attribution method over the requisite service periods, with forfeitures recognized as they occur. Share-based compensation cost for performance-based PSUs is recognized if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of the performance condition at each reporting period and a cumulative catch-up adjustment is recorded to share-based compensation cost for any change in the probability assessment. If there are any modifications of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate or increase any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense.

modifications of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate or increase any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense. Prior to fiscal 2023, the Company granted market-based PSUs to executive officers. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining unearned share-based compensation expense related to market-based PSUs was immaterial.

Treasury Shares

From time to time, the Company repurchases shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Shares repurchased are recorded at cost, inclusive of fees, commissions, taxes and other expenses. Treasury shares are re-issued on a first-in, first-out basis to fund share issuance requirements under the Company's equity incentive plans.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Company accounts for its Series A Preferred Stock as permanent equity carried at its par value. The Company computes net income attributable to common stockholders by reducing net income by the dividends on Series A Preferred Stock accumulated during the period. Prior to the conversion of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company includes, in the diluted net income per common share calculation, the effect of the conversion of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into the Company's common stock at the applicable conversion rate using the if-converted method when the effect of including these securities is not anti-dilutive.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company is subject to counterparty risks from financial institutions and customers. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits and accounts receivables. The Company manages credit risk exposure for cash deposits by limiting counterparties to high-grade financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are generally not significant due to the diversity of the Company's customers and geographic sales areas. The Company sells its products primarily to OEMs and distributors in the Americas, Europe and Asia. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, as deemed necessary, may require collateral, primarily letters of credit. With the exception of Arrow Electronics, the Company's largest distributor, which accounted for 1314% of the accounts receivable balance as of March 31, ~~2024~~2026, no other customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of March 31, ~~2025~~2026 or March 31, ~~2024~~2025.

Distributor advances in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $~~234~~135.43 million and $~~413~~234.24 million at March 31, ~~2025~~2026 and March 31, ~~2024~~2025, respectively. On sales to distributors, the Company's payment terms generally require the distributor to settle amounts owed to the Company for an amount in excess of their ultimate cost. The Company's sales price to its distributors may be higher than the amount that the distributors will ultimately owe the Company because distributors often negotiate price reductions after purchasing the products from the Company and such reductions are often significant. It is the Company's practice to apply these negotiated price discounts to future purchases, requiring the distributor to settle receivable balances, on a current basis, generally within 30 days, for amounts originally invoiced. This practice has an adverse impact on the working capital of the Company's distributors. As such, the Company has entered into agreements with certain distributors whereby it advances cash to the distributors to reduce the distributors' working capital requirements. The Company provides these advances based on a negotiated percentage of the amount of inventory held by the distributor. Such advances have no impact on revenue recognition or the Company's consolidated statements of income. The terms of these advances are set forth in binding legal agreements and are unsecured, bear no interest on unsettled balances and are due upon demand. The agreements governing these advances can be canceled by the Company at any time and, upon cancellation, the amounts are due to the Company.

Use of Estimates

The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare its consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated events after March 31, ~~2025~~2026, and through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined any events or transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these financial statements.

In ~~November~~December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-0709-~~Segment~~Income ~~Reporting~~Taxes (Topic ~~280~~740): Improvements to ~~Reportable~~Income ~~Segment~~Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, and an amount and description of the composition of other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this standard in fiscal 2025. See "Note 3. Geographic and Segment Information" for further information.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted~~F-15

InTable December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The amendments are intended to address investors’ requests for income tax disclosures that provide more information to help them better understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in tax laws and the ensuing risks and opportunities and to assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions. The guidance also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. All entities should apply the guidance prospectively but have the option to apply it retrospectively. The Company is continuing to assess the timing of adoption and the potential impacts of ASU 2023-09.Contents
