NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Summary of Material Accounting Policies and Critical Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
Statement of Compliance — The interim condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) Accounting Standards, as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in GlobalFoundries' Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025. The interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements.
The interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB.
The interim financial statements were approved and authorized to be issued by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee of GlobalFoundries’ Board of Directors on November 04, 2026, and subsequent events have been evaluated for their potential effect on the interim financial statements through November 04, 2026.
Summary of Material Accounting Policies and Critical Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions — The summary of material accounting policies and critical judgments, estimates and assumptions adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Adopted:
The Company adopted the following amended IFRS standards, effective January 1, 2026.
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures) – The amendments clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. The amendments also add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion for financial assets that do not relate to basic lending risks, and add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows based on contingent events. The adoption of these amendments did not result in a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 – These narrow-scope amendments relate to clarifications, simplifications, corrections or changes to improve consistency in the following IFRS standards: IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows. The adoption of these amendments did not result in a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity – Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – These amendments include clarifying the application of the own-use requirements for nature-dependent electricity contracts, permitting hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments and adding new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on the Company’s financial performance and cash flows. The adoption of these standards, including disclosures that will be made when certain plants commence commercial operations, did not result in a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in millions, except per share amounts or otherwise indicated)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Adopted:
The Company has not adopted the following new, revised or amended IFRS standards that have been issued by the IASB that are not yet effective:
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18") — This new standard will replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements ("IAS 1"). The key concepts in IFRS 18 relate to the structure of the statement of profit and loss, required disclosures in the financial statements for certain management-defined performance measures and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.
•IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit and loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the first three are new.
•It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and subtotals of income and expenses and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes.
•In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’ and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. Interest paid will be presented as financing cash flows and interest received as investing cash flows, which is a change from current presentation as part of operating cash flows. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.
The Company will adopt IFRS 18 effective January 1, 2027. Retrospective application is required, hence, the comparative information will be recast in accordance with IFRS 18. The Company is currently assessing the detailed implications of applying the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
•Although the adoption of IFRS 18 has no impact on the Company’s net income, the Company expects that grouping items of income and expenses into the new categories may impact how operating profit is calculated and reported. For example, items currently in “Other income (expense), net” would be reclassified to “Other operating expenses”, “Other investing expenses” and “Other financing expenses” lines.
•The Company does not expect a significant change in the information currently disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements because the requirement to disclose material information remains unchanged. However, the way in which information is grouped may be changed and the new disclosure of management-defined performance measures is required.
•For the first annual period of application of IFRS 18, disclosures are required for a reconciliation for each line item in the consolidated statement of operations between the stated amounts presented by applying IFRS 18 and the amounts previously presented applying IAS 1.
As of the date the accompanying financial statements were authorized for issuance, the Company continues to evaluate the impact on its consolidated financial position and performance as a result of the initial adoption of the aforementioned standards or interpretations and related applicable periods.
Fair Value Option in Measuring Investment in Associate or Joint Venture - Amendments to IAS 28 — These amendments clarify the scope of entities that may elect to measure investments in associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss, rather than applying the equity method. The fair value option is available to entities whose main business activity is investing in particular types of assets. The amendments are effective when IFRS 18 is adopted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Net Revenue
The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated based on revenue source, timing of revenue recognition and the end markets that we serve, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company believes these categories best depict the nature and timing of revenue:

(1) Effective January 1, 2026, the Company updated the terminology used to describe revenue categories. Revenue previously presented as "Wafer revenue" and "Non-wafer revenue" is now presented as "Manufacturing Services" and "Technology Services," respectively. Manufacturing Services include volume production and sales of finished semiconductor products. Technology Services include non-recurring engineering services, mask production, process qualification, post-fabrication services such as bump, test and packaging, and revenue from intellectual property licenses, related royalties and other items. We believe these categories better reflect the depth and breadth of our business model today. This change in presentation does not impact the composition of revenue, total revenue reported or revenue recognition policies. Prior periods have been conformed to the current period presentation.

The fair value of certain identifiable assets and liabilities relating to deferred revenue and deferred tax assets have been determined provisionally and are subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The valuation of acquired intangible assets consisting of the developed technology, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), and customer relationships were determined based on management’s estimates and consultation with an independent appraiser. The fair value of developed technology and IPR&D were estimated using the relief from royalty method, while the customer relationships were measured at fair value using the multi-period excess earnings method. The valuation of the intangible assets required management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which included the expected revenue growth rates and EBITDA margin, customer attrition rates, royalty rates and discount rates applied to future cash flows.
Acquisition of Advanced Micro Foundry Pte. Ltd. – On November 18, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Advanced Micro Foundry Pte. Ltd. (“AMF”). AMF is a pioneering silicon photonics foundry based in Singapore. The acquisition is expected to enhance the Company’s scale, differentiation and customer base in silicon photonics and optical networking.
The total purchase consideration was $453 million in cash paid on the closing date. The Company engaged an independent appraiser to assist in determining the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as part of the purchase price allocation.

The fair value of certain identifiable assets and liabilities relating to working capital adjustments and deferred tax liabilities have been determined provisionally and are subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The valuation of acquired intangible assets consisting of the developed technology, IPR&D and customer relationships were determined based on management’s estimates and consultation with an independent appraiser. The fair value of developed technology and IPR&D was estimated using the relief from royalty method, while the customer relationships were measured at fair value using the multiperiod excess earnings method. The valuation of the intangible assets required management to make significant estimates and assumptions, which included the future cash flows, expected revenue growth rates, royalty rates, technology migration curve and discount rate applied to future cash flows.
Acquisition of MIPS Holdings Inc. – On August 13, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of MIPS Holdings Inc. ("MIPS"). MIPS is a leading provider of computing subsystems for autonomous platforms serving the automotive, industrial, and embedded markets. The acquisition is expected to expand the Company’s portfolio of customizable intellectual property (“IP”) offerings and enhance the Company's ability to differentiate its process technologies through advanced IP and software capabilities.

Other business combinations – Silicon Manufacturing Partners Pte Ltd (“SMP”) was a joint venture between Avago Technologies International Sales Pte. Limited (“Avago Singapore”) and GLOBALFOUNDRIES Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“GlobalFoundries Singapore”). As of December 31, 2024, we held a 49 % interest in SMP and managed all aspects of its manufacturing operations. On January 2, 2025, we acquired the remaining 51 % of the shares in the share capital of SMP from Avago Singapore, thereby making SMP a wholly-owned subsidiary of GlobalFoundries. Total purchase price consideration of $64 million was allocated to the fair values of net assets acquired and resulted in the recognition of $37 million goodwill and the derecognition of the existing investment in the joint venture.
On November 14, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of InfiniLink Inc. (“InfiniLink”) for $48 million. InfiniLink specializes in advanced optical data connectivity chips intended for hyper-scale data centers and enterprises. The acquisition is expected to enhance the Company’s in-house design capabilities and further strengthen competitiveness in optics. We recognized goodwill, other intangible assets and deferred tax liabilities of $29 million, $30 million and $11 million, respectively, based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Note 5. Income taxes
For tax reporting purposes, the Company consolidates its entities under GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc., a Cayman Islands entity. As a Cayman Islands entity, the Company’s domestic statutory income tax rate is 0.0 %. The difference between the Company’s domestic statutory income tax rate and its effective income tax rate reflected in income tax benefit or income tax expense is primarily due to the effect of tax rates and permanent differences in other jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Applicable to tax years beginning in 2025, the Company's effective tax rate is not currently materially impacted by Pillar Two minimum top-up taxes but may be in the future.
The effective tax rate was (35.0 )% and (12.7 )% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was 99.4 % and (8.0 )% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the prior-year period was primarily attributable to the equity issuance to the USG, which contributed to the pre-tax loss without a corresponding tax benefit, and tax expense related to exchange rate changes affecting the tax basis of certain non-monetary assets in Germany.
The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the prior-year period primarily reflected the equity issuance to the USG, which reduced pre-tax income without a corresponding tax benefit, tax expense related to exchange rate changes affecting the tax basis of certain non-monetary assets in Germany, and the absence of a prior-year tax benefit related to the recognition of net deferred tax assets in Germany.
Note 6. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based upon the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, assuming the issuance of ordinary shares for all potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding.

Additionally, the Company obtained letters of credit and bank guarantees to guarantee payments for utility suppliers, foreign statutory payroll related charges, and other purposes. The Company has obtained total facilities of $133 million and $132 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Contingencies – From time to time, the Company is a party to claims that arise in the normal course of business. These claims include allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights of others as well as other claims of liability. In addition, the Company, on a case by case basis, includes intellectual property indemnification provisions in the terms of sale and technology licenses with third parties. The Company is also subject to various taxes in the different jurisdictions in which it operates. These include property, goods and services, and other non-income taxes. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe it is probable that losses associated with these matters beyond those already recognized will be incurred in amounts that would be material to the interim financial statements.
The Company has determined that due to the complexity of calculation of the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit ("AMITC") under the Internal Revenue Code Section 48D, and uncertainties regarding compliance with program conditions, it is probable that a portion of AMITC computed and claimed in the United States may be repayable. Management recorded its best estimate of the amount of the AMITC that may be repayable totaling $68 million as of September 30, 2026 which is included in other non-current liabilities on the Company's consolidated statements of financial position. The amount of the reserve may change depending on future assessments by tax authorities.
Note 14. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring management judgment to develop the Company’s own models with estimates and assumptions.
Cash Equivalents – Cash equivalents include investments in government obligation-based money market funds, other money market instruments and interest-bearing deposits with initial or remaining terms of three months or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates its carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Marketable Securities – Marketable securities utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs include U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, floating rate securities, money market mutual funds, corporate debt instruments and other notes, bonds or debt securities issued by non-U.S. sovereign or multilateral entities, as these securities all have quoted prices in active markets.
Derivatives – Derivative contracts are classified within Level 2. The fair values of these contracts are determined using observable market inputs, including exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and maturity dates to generate pricing curves, which are used to value the positions. The market inputs are generally actively quoted and can be validated through external sources. For derivative positions with maturity dates which fall between the dates of quoted prices, interpolation of rate or maturity scenarios are used in determining fair values.
Equity Securities – Equity securities consist of non-marketable investments in private companies. As quoted market prices are not available, the fair value of these investments is determined using valuation techniques that incorporate significant unobservable inputs and accordingly, they are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These equity securities are measured through profit or loss, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period in which they arise.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWS AND PROSPECTS
Overview
GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (“we,” “GF,” or the “Company”) is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of semiconductors the world relies on to live, work and connect, enabling the scaling of Artificial Intelligence ("AI") in the cloud, and the transition of AI into the physical world. We manufacture differentiated, essential integrated circuits (“ICs”) that are used in billions of electronic devices across various industries. Our specialized manufacturing processes, extensive library of qualified circuit-building block designs (known as IP titles or IP blocks), and advanced transistor and device technology allow us to serve a wide range of customers, including the global leaders in IC design. We deliver optimized solutions for critical applications that drive key secular growth end markets, ensuring that our products meet stringent requirements for functionality, performance and power efficiency.
Our technology portfolio spans differentiated, essential chip technologies including digital, analog, mixed-signal, RF, ultra-low power and embedded memory enabling the connected, secure and intelligent systems that power the digital world. To address the varied needs of our customers, we invest in a broad portfolio, including ultra-low power and feature-rich CMOS, RF, power, optical networking, advanced packaging, software and IP. Our core technologies such as FinFET, FD-SOI (“FDX™”), RF-SOI, Silicon germanium ("SiGe"), RF GaN, BCD and high-voltage BCD, power GaN and silicon photonics ("SiPh") deliver the performance, efficiency and integration needed to support next-generation applications in connectivity, power management and high-speed data processing.
Revenue Sources
The principal source of our revenue is derived from Manufacturing Services primarily through volume production and sales of finished semiconductor products. This accounted for approximately 88% of our net revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The remaining portion of net revenue is generated from Technology Services, including non-recurring engineering services, mask production, process qualification, post-fabrication services such as bump, test and packaging and revenue from software, intellectual property licenses, related royalties and other items.
Market Dynamics and Strategic Focus
The industry remained subject to volatility due to uncertainties in global trade policy, geopolitical events and the macroeconomic environment. These factors led to incremental caution and uncertainty in the demand outlook, particularly for consumer-centric end markets. In addition, recent global events highlighted the semiconductor industry's vulnerability to materials available and energy supply. GlobalFoundries' diverse supply chain and resilient sourcing largely insulated it from these impacts. The Company continues to monitor and adapt to changes in key macroeconomic indicators, including inflation, interest rates, and GDP growth. The Company remains focused on executing its strategic priorities, including but not limited to: 1) deepening customer and ecosystem relationships, 2) achieving operational scale and efficiencies across our manufacturing footprint, 3) pursuing continuous improvement in cost optimization and 4) investing in a diversified and differentiated technology portfolio.
In October 2026, the Company was selected as the technology provider and operator for two proposed semiconductor manufacturing facilities at its Malta, New York site under a U.S.-Japan initiative. The initiative contemplates approximately $10 billion of investment in an initial facility expected to become operational in 2029 and an additional approximately $10 billion investment in a second facility, with Japan providing up to $21 billion in funding. The Company will contribute its technologies, manufacturing expertise and operational capabilities. The initiative is expected to support the expansion of our U.S. manufacturing capabilities and our long-term technology and capacity strategy. In addition, we agreed with the USG to amend our existing CHIPS and Science Act award to reallocate $955 million toward certain investments at our Malta, New York and Burlington, Vermont facilities.
Components of Results of Operations
Net Revenue
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company updated the terminology used to describe revenue categories. Revenue previously presented as "Wafer revenue" and "Non-wafer revenue" is now presented as "Manufacturing Services" and "Technology Services," respectively. Manufacturing Services include volume production and sales of finished semiconductor products. Technology Services include non-recurring engineering services, mask production, process qualification, post-fabrication services such as bump, test and packaging, and revenue from intellectual property licenses, related royalties and other items. We believe these categories better reflect the depth and breadth of our business model today.
-22-
GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.
This change in presentation does not impact the composition of revenue, total revenue reported or revenue recognition policies. Prior period amounts presented have been conformed to the current period presentation.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of material expenses, depreciation and amortization, employee-related expenses, restructuring expenses, facility costs and costs of fixed assets, including maintenance and spare parts. Material expenses primarily include the costs of raw wafers, test wafers, photomasks, resists, process gases, process chemicals, other operating supplies and external service costs for wafer manufacturing. Costs related to NRE services are also included within the cost of revenue. As it pertains to inflation and inflationary headwinds we are facing within our business, we have experienced an increase in costs for materials and energy, and we expect these increases to continue to have an adverse impact on our financial results of operations while these economic conditions persist.
Depreciation and amortization charges primarily include the depreciation of clean room production equipment. Commencement of depreciation related to construction in progress and property, plant and equipment involves determining when the assets are available for their intended use. Employee-related expenses primarily include employee wages and salaries, social security contributions and benefit costs for operators, maintenance technicians, process engineers, supply chain, IT production, yield improvement and health and safety roles. Facility costs primarily consist of the costs of electricity, water and other utilities and services.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of research and development ("R&D"), selling, general and administrative expenses and other (“SG&A”). Personnel costs are the most significant component of our operating expenses, and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation and commissions.
Research and Development
Our R&D efforts are focused on developing highly differentiated process technologies and solutions. Our R&D expenses include personnel costs, material costs, software license and intellectual property expenses, facility costs, supplies, professional and consulting fees, and depreciation on equipment used in R&D activities. Our development roadmap includes new platform investments, platform features and extensions, and investments in emerging technology capabilities and solutions. We expense R&D costs as incurred. We believe that continued investment in our technology portfolio is important for our future growth and acquisition of new customers. Based on our current business activities, we expect our R&D as a percentage of revenue to increase as we integrate the acquisition of MIPS and Synopsys' ARC Processor IP Solutions business.
Selling, General and Administrative and other
SG&A and other expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including sales commissions to independent sales representatives and professional fees, including costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax compliance. Additionally, costs related to advertising, trade shows, corporate marketing, certain contract cancellation fees, gains and losses on tool sales, withholding taxes and allocated overhead costs are also included in SG&A and other expenses. We expect our SG&A and other as a percentage of revenue to be relatively stable over time as expenses grow in line with increased revenue.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed operations primarily through cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, as well as cash generated from our business operations, including prepayments under long term agreements ("LTAs"), debt, government grants and advanced manufacturing investment tax credits.
On August 21, 2026, we entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $1.5 billion and terminated our previous revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had an undrawn revolving credit facility of $1.5 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. In addition to our available revolver, we had $1.1 billion of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which was primarily comprised of a term loan.
As of September 30, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances of approximately $3.2 billion included $1.0 billion cash and cash equivalents and approximately $2.2 billion of marketable securities.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and amount of payments we receive from customers pursuant to our LTAs and other business arrangements, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the timing and amount of reimbursements we receive under government grants, the introduction of new and enhanced products and solutions, the continuing market adoption of our platform, strategic transactions and our obligations to repay our indebtedness from time to time. We may from time to time seek to raise additional capital to support our growth. As of September 30, 2026, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, credit under our revolving credit facility and expected cash generated from operations are sufficient to meet our capital requirements for at least the next 12 months and beyond.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities of $1,288 million decreased $69 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1,357 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to $687 million lower net income and $119 million unfavorable movement in working capital, partially offset by $737 million favorable cash and non-cash adjustments.
The decrease in net income was primarily driven by the $441 million share issuance to the USG.
The movement in working capital was primarily driven by $181 million unfavorable changes in receivables due to increases in receivables from government grants offset by $57 million favorable change in payables, primarily due to the timing of payments to suppliers and vendors.
The favorable cash and non-cash adjustments were primarily driven by $441 million increase in share issuance to the USG, $263 million increase in deferred income taxes, largely due to changes in income tax expense and the recognition of German net deferred tax assets, $81 million decrease in gains on dispositions of property, plant and equipment, primarily related to tool sales, $42 million increase in share-based payments, and $31 million favorable movement from the gain on acquisition of a joint venture. These were partially offset by $74 million unfavorable changes in other operating activities and $48 million lower depreciation and amortization.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of $1,425 million increased $678 million compared to the cash used in investing activities of $747 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was driven by higher capital expenditures of $510 million, primarily related to investment in manufacturing facilities, $255 million increase in acquisition costs, $115 million increase in purchases of marketable securities and lower proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment of $84 million primarily related to tool sales. These increases were offset by higher proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities of $168 million, higher proceeds from government grants of $52 million, lower investments in equity securities of $45 and $21 million increase related to the sale of equity investments.
