This section highlights a material inventory management risk, where manufacturing based on non-binding customer forecasts can lead to excess inventory and costs, exemplified by a $110 million charge due to weakened 5G handset demand - The company is subject to **significant inventory risks** because it purchases materials and builds products based on customer forecasts that are not binding commitments, which can lead to high inventory carrying costs and obsolescence if demand is lower than expected[126](index=126&type=chunk) - As a direct result of this risk, unexpectedly weakened demand for 5G handsets in China and EMEA caused the company to not meet minimum purchase commitments with a foundry supplier, leading to a total charge of **$110.0 million** in the first quarter of fiscal 2023[128](index=128&type=chunk) [Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds](index=29&type=section&id=Item%202.%20Unregistered%20Sales%20of%20Equity%20Securities%20and%20Use%20of%20Proceeds.)
