Inflation - Inflation has led to higher costs, including labor, wafer, materials, transportation, and energy costs93 - The company has generally offset cost increases through productivity, cost reduction initiatives, price adjustments, and new products with improved gross margins93 - Sustained high inflation could materially adversely affect business if price increases cannot fully recover costs93 Design Wins with New and Existing Customers - Future sales are highly dependent on continued success in winning design mandates from customers94 - The time from design initiation to sales can be lengthy (typically 2-4 years), requiring significant design and development expenditures without assurance of selection94 - Average selling prices (ASPs) are expected to decline over time, making new design wins critical for future success94 Customer Demand, Orders and Forecasts - Demand for products is highly dependent on market conditions in end markets, which are generally subject to seasonality, cyclicality, and competitive conditions95 - Customer forecasts do not commit to minimum purchases and can be revised or canceled, posing risks of lost sales or excess inventory95 - Most of the current customer order backlog is noncancellable, which helps mitigate exposure to unforeseen order cancellations95 Manufacturing Costs and Product Mix - Gross margin is affected by ASPs, product mix, material costs, yields, and manufacturing efficiencies96 - Long-term ASP declines are expected to coincide with improvements in manufacturing yields and lower wafer, assembly, and testing costs, offsetting margin reduction97 - Gross margin fluctuates quarterly, generally decreasing with lower production volumes and increasing with higher volumes97 Cyclical Nature of the Semiconductor Industry - The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, characterized by rapid technological change, product obsolescence, competitive pricing pressures, and fluctuations in supply and demand98 - Periods of rapid growth and capacity expansion are often followed by significant market corrections, leading to sales declines, inventory accumulation, and underutilized facilities98 - Margins generally improve during expansion cycles and decline during periods of slower growth or industry contractions98 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act - The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act requires capitalization and amortization of domestic and foreign R&D expenditures, increasing annual cash taxes by approximately $20.00 million for fiscal 202499 - This tax impact is partially offset by an FDII benefit of $9.00 million99 - There is no assurance that Congress will modify or reverse this provision, despite potential retroactive effects99 Results of Operations This section analyzes financial performance for three- and six-month periods, detailing sales, costs, and income drivers. Three-Month Period Ended September 29, 2023 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended September 23, 2022 For the three months, net sales and income increased significantly, driven by e-Mobility products and improved margins. Total net sales - Total Net Sales increased by $37.84 million (15.9%) to $275.51 million for the three-month period101103 - The increase was primarily attributable to higher shipments of e-Mobility products (ADAS, EV, and safety, comfort, and convenience applications)103 - Growth was partially offset by declines in consumer and smart home markets103 Sales Trends by Market | Market | Sep 29, 2023 | Sep 23, 2022 | Change | % Change | | :--------- | :----------- | :----------- | :----- | :------- | | Automotive | $205,936 | $157,398 | $48,538 | 30.8% | | Industrial | $51,114 | $48,176 | $2,938 | 6.1% | | Other | $18,459 | $32,092 | $(13,633) | -42.5% | - Automotive net sales increased primarily due to higher demand for ADAS, EV, and safety, comfort, and convenience applications105 - Industrial net sales increased due to demand for clean energy and automation applications, partially offset by declines in data center applications[105](index=105&type=chunk
