NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Skyworks Solutions, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Skyworks” or the “Company”), is empowering the wireless networking revolution. The Company’s analog semiconductors are connecting people, places, and things, spanning a number of new applications within the aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, industrial, medical, military, smartphone, tablet and wearable markets.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, in management’s opinion, the financial information reflects all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the Company during the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2019, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to such Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 27, 2020 (the “2019 10-K”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive loss that are reported in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Judgment is required in determining the reserves for, and fair value of, items such as overall fair value assessments of assets and liabilities, particularly those classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, marketable securities, inventory, intangible assets associated with business combinations, share-based compensation, loss contingencies, and income taxes. In addition, judgment is required in determining whether a potential indicator of impairment of long-lived assets exists and in estimating future cash flows for any necessary impairment testing. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU requires lessees to reflect leases with a term greater than one year on their balance sheet as assets and obligations. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, using the modified retrospective approach, whereby the Company was not required to adjust comparative period financial statements for the new standard. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $141.4 million and a lease liability of $143.1 million. This standard did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

| Other Asia-Pacific | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s revenue from external customers is generated principally from the sale of semiconductor products that facilitate various wireless communication applications. Accordingly, the Company considers its product offerings to be similar in nature and therefore not segregated for reporting purposes. Accrued customer liabilities of $24.2 million and $38.5 million have been included in other current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets as of June 26, 2020 , and September 27, 2019, respectively.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. Trade accounts receivable are primarily derived from sales to electronic component distributors and manufacturers of communication products. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.
At June 26, 2020 , and September 27, 2019, the Company's three largest accounts receivable balances comprised 64 % and 67 %, respectively, of aggregate gross accounts receivable.
Significant portions of the Company's sales are concentrated among a limited number of customers. The duration, severity, and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are highly uncertain and could result in significant disruptions to the business operations of the Company's customers. If one or more of these major customers significantly decreased its orders for the Company's products, the Company's business could be materially and adversely affected.

4. FAIR VALUE
Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
9
•Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data.
•Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by the Company.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following (in millions):
| As of June 26, 2020 | As of September 27, 2019 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
There were no changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 .
The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of its fourth fiscal quarter and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. There were no indicators of impairment noted during the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 .
Intangible assets consist of the following (in millions):
| As of | As of | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Weighted Average Amortization Period (Years) | September 27, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total intangible assets | $ | $ | ( | $ | $ | $ | ( | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fully amortized intangible assets are eliminated from both the gross and accumulated amortization amounts in the first quarter of each fiscal year. Accrued technology licenses payable of $11.9 million and $20.1 million have been included in other current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets as of June 26, 2020 , and September 27, 2019, respectively.
Annual amortization expense for the next five fiscal years related to definite-lived intangible assets, excluding IPR&D, is expected to be as follows (in millions):
| Remaining 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | Thereafter | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Amortization expense, cost of goods sold | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of the following components (in millions):
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2020 | June 28, 2019 | 2020 | June 28, 2019 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Foreign income taxes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Provision for income taxes | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | % | % | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0 % United States federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively, resulted primarily from foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate, a benefit from foreign-derived intangible income deduction (“FDII”), and research and experimentation and foreign tax credits earned, partially offset by a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), and an increase in tax expense related to a change in the reserve for uncertain tax positions.
The Company operates under a tax holiday in Singapore, which is effective through September 30, 2030. The current tax holiday is conditioned upon the Company’s compliance with certain employment and investment thresholds in Singapore.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
From time to time, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been, and may in the future be, instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement, intellectual property, environmental hazards, product liability and warranty, safety and health, employment and contractual matters.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to the Company’s business and have demanded and may in the future demand that the Company license their technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some such lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally speaking, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. From time to time the Company may also be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business.
The Company monitors the status of legal proceedings and other contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure loss contingencies are recognized and/or disclosed in its financial statements and footnotes. The Company does not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that are reasonably possible to result in a material loss. The Company is engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business and, while there can be no assurances, the Company believes the outcome of all pending litigation involving the Company will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business or financial statements.
Guarantees and Indemnities
The Company has made no significant contractual guarantees for the benefit of third parties. However, the Company generally indemnifies its customers from third-party intellectual property infringement litigation claims related to its products and, on occasion, also provides other indemnities related to product sales. In connection with certain facility leases, the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the facility or the lease.
The Company indemnifies its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. The duration of the indemnities varies and in many cases is indefinite. The indemnities to customers in connection with product sales generally are subject to limits based upon the amount of the related product sales and in many cases are subject to geographic and other restrictions. In certain instances, the Company’s indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and does not expect that such obligations will have a material adverse impact on its financial statements.
10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Program
On January 30, 2019 , the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock from time to time prior to January 30, 2021 , on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing and amount of any shares of the Company’s common stock that are repurchased under the repurchase program are determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.
During the three months ended June 26, 2020 , the Company paid $58.5 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 0.7 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $87.42 per share). During the nine months ended June 26, 2020 , the Company paid $416.5 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 4.6 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $89.56 per share). As of June 26, 2020 , $1.2 billion remained available under the existing stock repurchase authorization.

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of equity-based awards that were outstanding during the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 , and June 28, 2019, using the treasury stock method. Certain of the Company’s outstanding share-based awards, noted in the table above, were excluded because they were anti-dilutive, but they could become dilutive in the future.

IMPACT OF COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic downturn are affecting business conditions in our industry. Overall demand for our products has decreased as a result of the pandemic, which impacted our operating results for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 . The duration, severity, and future impact of the pandemic continue to be highly uncertain and could still result in significant disruptions to our business operations, including our supply chain, as well as negative impacts to our financial condition. As a result of the temporary suspension of our operations in Mexicali, Mexico, for approximately two weeks in April 2020, we incurred a $23.4 million production utilization charge, as described below. A renewed suspension of our operations in Mexicali, or a continued reduction in our production capacity due to employee quarantines, employee absenteeism, and restrictions on certain of our employees’ ability to work, would negatively impact our future operating results.

OVERVIEW
We, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, are empowering the wireless networking revolution. Our analog semiconductors are connecting people, places, and things spanning a number of new applications within the aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, industrial, medical, military, smartphone, tablet and wearable markets.
GENERAL
During the nine months ended June 26, 2020 , the following key factors contributed to our overall results of operations, financial position and cash flows:
•Net revenue decreased by 5.9% to $2,398.9 million for the nine months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2019. This decrease in revenue was driven primarily by reduced demand resulting from the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security of the U.S. Department of Commerce continuing to keep Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Huawei”) on the Bureau’s Entity List (the “Entity List”). Additionally, demand for our products was negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases in revenue were partially offset by an increase in demand for the Company's new 5G solutions being deployed across a growing set of customers.
•Our ending cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance increased 7.4% to $1,162.4 million as of June 26, 2020 , from $1,082.2 million as of September 27, 2019. This increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during the nine months ended June 26, 2020 , was primarily the result of cash generated from operations of $937.5 million, partially offset by the repurchase of 4.6 million shares of common stock for $416.5 million, capital expenditures of $243.5 million, and dividend payments of $223.5 million.
NET REVENUE
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2020 | Change | June 28, 2019 | 2020 | Change | June 28, 2019 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (dollars in millions) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net revenue | $ | (3.9)% | $ | $ | (5.9)% | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We market and sell our products directly to OEMs of communications and electronics products, third-party original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers, and indirectly through electronic components distributors. We generally experience seasonal peaks during our fourth and first fiscal quarters (which correspond to the second half of the calendar year), primarily as a result of increased worldwide production of consumer electronics in anticipation of increased holiday sales, whereas our second and third fiscal quarters are typically lower and in line with seasonal industry trends.
The decrease in net revenue for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2019, was driven by reduced demand resulting from Huawei continuing to remain on the Entity List as well as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in demand for the Company's new 5G solutions being deployed across a growing set of customers.
GROSS PROFIT
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2020 | Change | June 28, 2019 | 2020 | Change | June 28, 2019 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| % of net revenue | 45.3 | % | 40.7 | % | 48.1 | % | 47.0 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gross profit represents net revenue less cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of purchased materials, labor and overhead (including depreciation and share-based compensation expense) associated with product manufacturing. Erosion of average selling prices of established products is typical of the semiconductor industry. As part of our normal course of business, we mitigate the gross margin impact of declining average selling prices with efforts to increase unit volumes, reduce material costs, improve manufacturing efficiencies, lower manufacturing costs of existing products and by introducing new and higher value-added products.
17
The increase in gross profit for the three months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2019, was primarily the result of a favorable product mix, partially offset by lower unit volumes and lower average selling prices. In addition, there was a $23.4 million production utilization charge in the three months ended June 26, 2020 , due to the temporary suspension of our operations in Mexicali in the government's effort to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. This one-time charge was less than the $66.6 million inventory-related one-time charge incurred in the three months ended June 28, 2019, due to lower expected demand as a result of Huawei being added to the Entity List. Gross profit margin increased to 45.3% of net revenue for the three months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with 40.7% in the corresponding period in fiscal 2019.
The decrease in gross profit for the nine months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2019, was primarily the result of lower unit volumes and lower average selling prices, partially offset by a favorable product mix. In addition, there was a $23.4 million production utilization charge in the nine months ended June 26, 2020, due to the temporary suspension of our operations in Mexicali in the government's effort to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. This one-time charge was less than the $66.6 million inventory-related one-time charge incurred in the nine months ended June 28, 2019, due to lower expected demand as a result of Huawei being added to the Entity List. Gross profit margin increased to 48.1% of net revenue for the nine months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with 47.0% in the corresponding period in fiscal 2019.

| % of net revenue | 15.9 | % | 13.1 | % | 14.1 | % | 12.4 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct personnel costs including share-based compensation expense, costs for pre-production evaluation and testing of new devices, masks, engineering prototypes and design tool costs.
The increase in research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2019, was primarily related to an increase in employee-related compensation expense due to higher performance achievement with respect to performance stock awards.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include legal and related costs, accounting, treasury, human resources, information systems, customer service, bad debt expense, sales commissions, share-based compensation expense, advertising, marketing, costs associated with business combinations completed or contemplated during the period, and other costs.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2019, was primarily related to increases in employee-related share-based compensation expense due to higher performance achievement with respect to performance stock awards.

The decrease in total amortization expense for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2019, was primarily due to the end of the useful lives of certain intangible assets that were acquired in prior fiscal years.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $14.3 million (which consisted of $4.1 million and $10.2 million related to United States and foreign income taxes, respectively) and $57.7 million (which consisted of $27.3 million and $30.4 million related to United States and foreign income taxes, respectively) for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 , respectively.
The decrease in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020 , as compared with the corresponding periods in fiscal 2019, was primarily due to benefits related to increased foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate and increased windfall tax deductions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
| Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||
| (in millions) | June 26, 2020 | June 28, 2019 | |||||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | $ | 851.3 | $ | 733.3 | |||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | 937.5 | 950.4 | |||||||||||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (391.0) | (235.1) | |||||||||||||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | (606.5) | (705.8) | |||||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $ | 791.3 | $ | 742.8 | |||||||||||||
Cash provided by operating activities:
Cash provided by operating activities consists of net income for the period adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain operating assets and liabilities. The $12.9 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended June 26, 2020, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2019, was primarily related to unfavorable changes in working capital.
Cash used in investing activities:
Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of capital expenditures and cash paid related to the purchase of marketable securities, offset by cash received related to the sale or maturity of marketable securities. The $155.9 million increase in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended June 26, 2020, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2019, was primarily related to a $230.6 million difference in the net purchase and sale of marketable securities, partially offset by a $70.5 million decrease in cash used for capital expenditures.
Cash used in financing activities:
Cash used in financing activities consists primarily of cash transactions related to equity. The $99.3 million decrease in cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended June 26, 2020, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2019, was primarily related to a decrease of $94.8 million in stock repurchase activity and an increase of $37.6 million in net proceeds from employee stock option exercises. These decreases in cash used in financing activities were partially offset by an increase of $24.7 million in dividend payments and an increase of $9.3 million related to the minimum statutory payroll tax withholdings upon vesting of employee performance and restricted stock awards.
Liquidity:
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $1,162.4 million as of June 26, 2020, representing an increase of $80.2 million from September 27, 2019. The increase resulted primarily from $937.5 million in cash generated from operations, partially offset by $416.5 million used to repurchase 4.6 million shares of stock, $223.5 million in cash dividend payments, and $243.5 million in capital expenditures. Based on our historical results of operations, we expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand and the cash we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to fund our research and development, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, working capital, quarterly cash dividend payments (if such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors), outstanding commitments and other liquidity requirements associated with existing operations for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot be certain that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be
19
available in the future to fund all of our capital and operating requirements. In addition, any future strategic investments and acquisitions may require additional cash and capital resources. If we are unable to obtain sufficient cash or capital to meet our needs on a timely basis and on favorable terms, our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our invested cash balances primarily consist of highly liquid marketable securities that are available to meet near-term cash requirements including: term deposits, certificate of deposits, money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, agency securities, other government securities, corporate debt securities and commercial paper.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Our contractual obligations disclosure in the 2019 10-K has not materially changed since we filed that report.
20
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in SEC Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4)(ii).
21
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to overall financial market risks, such as changes in market liquidity, credit quality, investment risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk as described below.
Investment and Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate and general market risks relates principally to our investment portfolio, which consists of cash and cash equivalents (money market funds and marketable securities purchased with less than ninety days until maturity) that total approximately $791.3 million and marketable securities (U.S. Treasury and government securities, corporate bonds and notes, municipal bonds, other government securities) that total approximately $347.0 million and $24.1 million within short-term and long-term marketable securities, respectively, as of June 26, 2020.
The main objectives of our investment activities are liquidity and preservation of capital. Our cash equivalent investments have short-term maturity periods that dampen the impact of market or interest rate risk. Our marketable securities consist of short-term and long-term maturity periods between 90 days and two years. Credit risk associated with our investments is not material because our investments are diversified across several types of securities with high credit ratings, which reduces the amount of credit exposure to any one investment.
Based on our results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2020, a hypothetical reduction in the interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents, and other investments to zero would result in an immaterial reduction of interest income with a de minimis impact on income before taxes.
Given the low interest rate environment, the objectives of our investment activities, and the relatively low interest income generated from our cash, cash equivalents, and other investments, we do not believe that investment or interest rate risks currently pose material exposures to our business or results of operations.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
Substantially all sales to customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for pricing and payment in United States dollars, thereby reducing the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our results. A percentage of our international operational expenses are denominated in foreign currencies and exchange rate volatility could positively or negatively impact those operating costs. Increases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Given the relatively small number of customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers denominated in foreign currencies, we do not believe that foreign exchange volatility currently has a material impact on our business or results of operations. However, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a greater effect on our business or results of operations in the future to the extent our expenses increasingly become denominated in foreign currencies.
We may enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts with financial institutions to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, certain firmly committed transactions, forecasted future cash flows and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. However, we may choose not to hedge certain foreign exchange exposures for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. For the three months ended June 26, 2020, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward or option contracts with financial institutions.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 26, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the
22
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 26, 2020, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There are no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of our employees are now working from home. The design of our processes, systems, and controls allows for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.
23
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been, and may in the future be, instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement, intellectual property, environmental hazards, product liability and warranty, safety and health, employment and contractual matters.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to the Company’s business and have demanded and may in the future demand that the Company license their technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some such lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally speaking, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, or results of operations. From time to time the Company may also be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business.
The Company monitors the status of legal proceedings and other contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure loss contingencies are recognized and/or disclosed in its financial statements and footnotes. The Company does not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that are reasonably possible to result in a material loss. The Company is engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business and, while there can be no assurances, the Company believes the outcome of all pending litigation involving the Company will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business or financial statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in the 2019 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has heightened, and in some cases manifested, certain of the risks we normally face in operating our business, including those disclosed in the 2019 10-K, and such prior risk factor disclosure is qualified by the information relating to COVID-19 that is described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the new risk factor set forth below. There have been no other material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2019 10-K.
The effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic are adversely affecting our business operations, sales, and financial condition.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic—including both the resulting public health crisis as well as the measures being taken by governments, businesses, and individuals in an effort to limit COVID-19’s spread—has adversely affected, and is likely to continue to adversely affect, our business operations. The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations and financial condition and on our workforce, and the duration of such impacts, are uncertain, constantly evolving, and difficult to quantify, but have thus far included, or in the future may include, the following:
•We have experienced an overall decrease in the demand for our products. We may experience further decreases in demand or in the pricing of our products, or an increased cost to manufacture our products, any of which could be exacerbated by a global economic downturn or recession or by delays in the widespread commercial deployment of 5G technology.
•In April 2020, we suspended our operations in Mexicali, Mexico, for approximately two weeks pursuant to an order by the government of the state of Baja California, Mexico, resulting in the temporary reduction in our production levels. In the event that our manufacturing operations in Mexicali become subject to significant restrictions or are suspended again, or in the event that one or more of our other facilities is forced to suspend or limit its activities, including, but not limited to, as a result of such operations or activities not being considered to be an “essential” business under applicable laws, regulations, or orders, we may experience further reductions in production levels, which would limit our ability to meet customer demand and impact our operating results.
•We have implemented certain measures at our facilities worldwide in an effort to protect our employees’ health and well-being (including social distancing, encouraging remote-work options wherever possible, limiting the number of employees attending meetings, reduced shift staffing, and suspending employee travel) which has reduced the overall efficiency of our operations.
•We have experienced reduced production capacity as a result of employee quarantines, employee absenteeism, and restrictions on certain of our employees’ ability to work. Additionally, we may experience negative impacts to our sales, marketing, research and development and other critical business functions for similar reasons.

•Given that our suppliers are facing similar challenges as a result of the pandemic, it is possible that we will experience disruptions to our supply chain in connection with the sourcing of materials, equipment, engineering support, and other services.
•We may experience increased disruptions to global transportation networks, limiting or delaying our ability to send or receive products and materials at one or more of our facilities, including as a result of trade restrictions, border closures, or disruptions in the operations of third-party carriers.
•Significant portions of our sales are concentrated among a limited number of customers. We may experience negative impacts to our business operations if one or more of these major customers were to significantly decrease its orders for our products due to disruptions to its business operations.
•Our business operations, as well as the business operations of our customers, suppliers, and other third-party service providers, are subject to frequent and unpredictable changes in the political, regulatory, legal, or economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which they operate.
•The deterioration of worldwide credit and financial markets could limit the ability of our customers to pay for product purchases in a timely manner, or pay at all.
•In the event we are unable to fulfill our contractual obligations, lawsuits may be threatened or filed against us by customers or other third parties.
These effects, alone or taken together, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, customer and supplier relations, employee relations, cash flows, and financial condition. A prolonged COVID-19 outbreak could exacerbate the adverse impact of such effects. The resumption of normal business operations after any such business interruptions may be delayed or constrained by lingering effects of COVID-19 on our customers, suppliers, and other third-party service providers. There can be no assurance that any decrease in sales resulting from COVID-19 will be offset by increased sales in subsequent periods.
The degree to which COVID-19 impacts us will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided as a public health matter, we may experience material adverse impacts to our business as a result of its adverse impact on the global economy.
