NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

(i) New Accounting Updates Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ~~ASU~~Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires reporting companies to disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 and related amendments (ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date; ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application (i.e., July 1, 2018). Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting standards under Topic 605.

There was no impact on the opening retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 due to the adoption of Topic 606. However, in conjunction with the adoption of the new standard, the Company recorded a reclassification of accrued revenue reserves for price adjustments and other revenue reserves from accounts receivable, net to price adjustment and other revenue reserves within current liabilities.

The cumulative effect of the changes to the condensed consolidated balance sheet from the adoption of Topic 606 was as follows (in thousands):



	As of June 30, 2018		Effect of Adoption of Topic 606		As of July 1, 2018

Accounts receivable, net	$	280,072	$	141,652	$	421,724
Price adjustment and other revenue reserves	—		141,652		141,652

Balance Sheet Reclassification

Under Topic 605, the gross amount of accrued revenue reserves for price adjustments and other revenue reserves of $141.7 million was included within accounts receivable, net as of June 30, 2018. Subsequent to the adoption of Topic 606, such

balances are presented on a gross basis as accrued price adjustments and other revenue reserves of $141.7 million, which is presented in the price adjustment and other revenue reserves balance sheet caption.

The adoption of Topic 606 has no impact on the total cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The following table summarizes the impacts of adopting Topic 606 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance ~~Sheets~~Sheet as of ~~September~~December 29, 2018 (in thousands):


	As Reported		If Reported Under Topic 605		Effect of Adoption of Topic 606		As Reported		If Reported Under Topic 605		Effect of Adoption of Topic 606

Accounts receivable, net	$	439,407	$	304,220	$	135,187	$	391,419	$	260,818	$	130,601
Price adjustment and other revenue reserves	135,187		—		135,187		130,601		—		130,601

Practical Expedients and Elections

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which ~~we have~~it has the right to invoice for services performed.

The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs after the customer obtains control of the goods.

The Company has elected to exclude sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes, if applicable, from the measurement of the transaction price. The transaction price excludes sales and other similar taxes.

Updated Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company recognizes revenue for sales to direct customers and ~~sales to distributors~~distribution customers ("distributors") when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable considerations, such as distributor price adjustments. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration ~~that~~to which it is expected to be entitled. The transaction price does not include amounts collected on behalf of another party, such as sales taxes or value added tax. The Company elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which ~~we recognize~~it recognizes revenue at the amount to which ~~we have~~it has the right to invoice for services performed. The Company estimates returns for sales to direct customers and distributors based on historical return rates applied against current period gross revenue. Specific customer returns and allowances are considered within this estimate.

Accounts receivable from direct customers and distributors are recognized and inventory is relieved upon shipment as title to inventories generally transfers upon shipment, at which point the Company has a legally enforceable right to collection under normal terms. Accounts receivable related to consigned inventory is recognized when the customer takes title to such inventory from its consigned location, at which point inventory is relieved, title transfers, and the Company has a legally enforceable right to collection under the terms of the agreement with the related customers. Customers are generally required to pay for products and services within the Company’s standard terms, which is net 30 days from the date of invoice. The Company does not have any significant financing components greater than one year.

The Company estimates potential future returns and sales allowances related to current period product revenue. Management analyzes historical returns, changes in customer demand and acceptance of products when evaluating the adequacy of returns and sales allowances. Estimates made may differ from actual returns and sales allowances. These differences may materially impact reported revenue and amounts ultimately collected on accounts receivable. Historically, such differences have not been material.

Distributor price adjustments are estimated based on ~~our~~the Company's historical experience rates and also considering economic conditions and contractual terms. To date, actual distributor claims activity has been materially consistent with the estimates ~~we have~~that the Company has made based on ~~our~~its historical rates.

The Company's revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components. Revenue is recognized over a period of time when it is assessed that performance obligations are satisfied over a period rather than at a point in time. When any of the following criteria is fulfilled, revenue is recognized over a period of time:

(a) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the performance completed.

(b) Performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in process) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.

(c) Performance does not create an asset with an alternative use, and has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, with further classifications made recently with the issuance of ASU 2018-03 and ASU 2018-04, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The application of this ASU was made by the means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet for the equity securities that qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) is being applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized an increase of $2.5 million, net of tax, in retained earnings at the beginning of fiscal year 2019.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. ASU 2016-16 requires that entities recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs instead of when the asset is sold. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires employers that offer or maintain defined benefit plans to disaggregate the service component from the other components of net benefit cost and provides guidance on presentation of the service component and the other components of net benefit cost in the statement of operations. The application of ASU 2017-07 requires retrospective basis for all periods presented. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this standard provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Unless the changes in terms or conditions meet all three criteria outlined in the guidance, modification accounting should be applied. The three criteria relate to changes in the terms and conditions that affect the fair value, vesting conditions, or classification of a share-based payment award. The guidance is required to be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard provides guidance about the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. There was no material change to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of this adoption.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards to employees and non-employees. Under the new guidance, both sets of awards, for employees and non-employees, will essentially follow the same model, with small discrepancies related to the term assumption when valuing non-employee awards. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

SEC Disclosure Update and Simplification. In August 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which amends certain disclosure requirements that were redundant and outdated. The rule also requires registrants to include in their interim financial statements a reconciliation of changes in stockholders' equity in the notes or as a separate statement. The final rule was effective on November 5, 2018. The Company has adopted the final rule as of December 29, 2018, and has included a reconciliation of the changes in stockholders' equity in this Form 10-Q.

(ii) Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Effective

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease accounting requirements in Topic 840. ASU 2016-02 requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a ~~right-of use~~right-of-use asset and a

corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. The guidance also requires qualitative and specific quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. This guidance is effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 on a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements and expects that there will be an increase in assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at adoption due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which improves disclosures by removing, modifying and adding disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The update highlights adjustments in disclosures for changes in the fair value of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 instruments. This guidance is effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year ~~2020,~~2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe that this update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of money market funds.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets 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.

The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, agency securities, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and foreign currency forward contracts that are valued using quoted market prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company's Level 3 assets and liabilities consist of acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:


	As of September 29, 2018									As of June 30, 2018											As of December 29, 2018									As of June 30, 2018

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and the year ended June 30, 2018, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and June 30, 2018 other than impairments of long-lived assets. For the three months ended September 29, 2018, the Company did not record any impairment of long-lived assets. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $0.9 million in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company uses various inputs to evaluate investments in privately held companies, including valuations of recent financing events as well as other relevant information regarding the performance of the issuer. During the three and six months ended December 29, 2018, the Company recorded $0.8 million, in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $0.9 million in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

The facility fee is at a rate per annum that varies based on the Company’s index debt rating and any advances under the credit agreement will accrue interest at a base rate plus a margin based on the Company’s index debt rating. The credit agreement ~~requires~~required the Company to comply with certain covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain a ratio of debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of not more than 3 to 1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio (EBITDA divided by interest expense) greater than 3.5 to 1. As of ~~September~~December 29, 2018, the Company had not borrowed any amounts from this credit facility and was in compliance with all debt covenants. Effective January 22, 2019, the Company terminated this revolving credit facility.

NOTE 6: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At ~~September~~December 29, 2018, the Company had one stock incentive plan, the Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and one employee stock purchase plan, the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2008 ESPP”). The 1996 Plan was adopted by the board of directors to provide the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and market stock units (“MSUs”) to employees, directors, and consultants.

Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, the exercise price for incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options is determined to be the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Options typically vest ratably over a four-year period measured from the date of grant. Options generally expire no later than seven years after the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon an optionee's cessation of employment or service.

RSUs granted to employees typically vest ratably over a four-year period and are converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company over that period. RSUs granted after August 2017 will continue to vest post-employment at the Company for certain individuals satisfying specific eligibility requirements.

MSUs granted to employees typically vest over a four-year cliff period and are converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company over that period. The number of shares that are released at the end of the performance period can range from zero to a maximum cap depending on the Company's performance. For MSUs granted prior to September 2017, the performance metrics of this program are based on relative performance of the Company’s stock price as compared to the Semiconductor Exchange Traded Fund index SPDR S&P (the “XSD”). For MSUs granted September 2017 and after, the performance metrics for this program are based on the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company relative to the TSR of the other companies included in the XSD; these MSUs vest based upon annual performance subject to continued service through the end of the four-year cliff period. MSUs granted after August 2017 will continue to vest post-employment at the Company for certain individuals satisfying specific eligibility requirements.

(1)	Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price and the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on ~~September~~December 28, 2018, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of options outstanding, exercisable or vested and expected to vest as of ~~September~~December 29, 2018.

As of ~~September~~December 29, 2018, there was no unrecognized stock compensation from unvested stock options.

Restricted Stock Units and Other Awards

The fair value of RSUs and other awards under the Company’s 1996 Plan is estimated using the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock prior to vesting. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on a quarterly basis.

The weighted-average fair value of RSUs and other awards granted was ~~$54.98~~$50.90 and ~~$41.69~~$50.36 per share for the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, respectively, and 54.71 and $42.41 per share for the six months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively.

Market Stock Units (MSUs)

The Company grants MSUs to senior members of management in lieu of granting stock options. For MSUs granted prior to September 2017, the performance metrics of this program are based on relative performance of the Company’s stock price as compared to the Semiconductor Exchange Traded Fund index SPDR S&P (the “XSD”). For MSUs granted in September 2017 and after, the performance metrics for this program are based on the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company relative to the TSR of the other companies included in the XSD. The fair value of MSUs is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on a quarterly basis. Compensation expense is recognized based on the initial valuation and is not subsequently adjusted as a result of the Company’s performance relative to that of the XSD or the TSR of the companies included in the XSD, as applicable. Vesting for MSUs is contingent upon both service and market conditions and has a four-year vesting cliff period. MSUs granted ~~in September~~after August 2017 vest based upon annual performance and are subject to continued service through the end of the four-year period, but will continue to vest post-employment at the Company for certain individuals satisfying specific eligibility requirements.

The weighted-average fair value of MSUs granted was $75.48 and $51.03 per share for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, respectively.

NOTE 7: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings (loss) per share, the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock excludes unvested RSUs and other awards as well as MSUs. Diluted earnings (loss) per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, assumed release of unvested RSUs and other awards as well as MSUs, and assumed issuance of common stock under the 2008 ESPP using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:


	Three Months Ended				Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	September 29, 2018		September 23, 2017		December 29, 2018		December 30, 2017			December 29, 2018		December 30, 2017

For the three months ended ~~September~~December 30, 2017 and December 29, 2018, there were approximately 4.8 million and zero stock awards, respectively, that were determined to be anti-dilutiveand therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the six months ended December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, no stock awards were determined to be anti-dilutiveand therefore none were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

In the three and six months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018, ~~and September 23, 2017,~~ the Company recorded an income tax provision of ~~$36.2~~$50.8 million and ~~$26.4~~$87.0 million, respectively, compared to $272.9 million and $299.4 million for the three and six months ended December 30, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 was 27.8% and ~~September 23,~~20.9%, respectively, compared to the 137.9% and 79.0% for the three and six months ended December 30, 2017, ~~was 15.5% and 14.6%,~~ respectively.

On December 22, 2017 legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), was enacted. The Act included a one-time tax on accumulated unremitted earnings of ~~our~~the Company's foreign subsidiaries (“Transition Tax”). SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ~~allows~~allowed the use of provisional amounts (reasonable estimates) if accounting for the income tax effects of the Act ~~has~~was not ~~been~~ completed. Provisional amounts must be adjusted within ~~one year~~a one-year measurement period from the enactment date of the Act. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded a discrete $236.9 million ~~discrete~~ provisional Transition Tax charge. ~~No adjustment to~~During the ~~provisional Transition Tax charge was made in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 as~~measurement period, the Company ~~continues to gather~~gathered additional information and ~~analyze~~analyzed available guidance to more precisely compute the amount of the Transition Tax. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 the Company completed this work and recorded a discrete $22.1 million measurement period adjustment for the Transition Tax, which increased the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 29, 2018 by 12.1% and 5.3%, respectively. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the accounting for income tax effects of the Act has been completed.

The Act reduced the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, which resulted in a fiscal year 2018 federal statutory tax rate of 28.1% for the Company (average of a 35% rate for the first half of fiscal year 2018 and a 21% rate for the second half of fiscal year 2018). The Company’s federal statutory tax rate for fiscal year 2019 is 21%. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded a $13.7 million discrete charge to remeasure deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the enactment date of the Act to reflect the federal statutory tax rate reductions.

The Act ~~contains~~included Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions, which ~~first~~ impact the Company in fiscal year 2019. The GILTI provisions effectively subject income earned by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries to current U.S. tax at a rate of 10.5%, less foreign tax credits. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company can make an accounting policy election to ~~either~~ recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to impact GILTI in future years or provide for tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense. The Company has elected to treat tax generated by the GILTI provisions as a period expense.

The Company’s federal statutory tax rate for ~~the first quarter of~~ fiscal year 2019 is 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to a $22.1 million discrete charge for the Transition Tax, tax generated by the GILTI provisions, and a $4.9 million discrete charge for interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by earnings of ~~15.5%~~foreign subsidiaries, generated primarily by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended December 29, 2018 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generated primarily by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates, partially offset by a $22.1 million discrete charge for the Transition Tax, tax ~~expense related to GILTI.~~generated by the GILTI provisions, and a $9.4 million discrete charge for interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company’s federal statutory tax rate for ~~the first quarter of~~ fiscal year 2018 was ~~35%~~28.1%. ~~The Act did not impact the federal statutory tax rate and income tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 because it was enacted after the end of that quarter.~~ The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017 ~~of 14.6%~~ was ~~lower~~higher than the statutory rate primarily due to a $236.9 million discrete provisional charge for the Transition Tax, a $13.7 million discrete charge to remeasure deferred taxes as of the enactment date of the Act, $4.2 million and $8 million discrete charges for interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits in the three and six months ended December 30, 2017, respectively, partially offset by earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generated primarily by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates, and a $2.0 million discrete benefit for excess tax benefits generated by the settlement of share-based awards, partially offset by share-based compensation for which no tax benefit is expected and $3.9 million of discrete interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits.rates.

The Company engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, could decrease up to ~~$439.0~~$444.0 million within the next twelve months due to the completion of federal tax audits, including any administrative appeals. The ~~$439.0~~$444.0 million primarily relates to matters involving federal taxation of cross-border transactions.

The Company’s federal corporate income tax returns are audited on a recurring basis by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS concluded its field examination of the Company’s federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 and issued an IRS Revenue Agent's Report in July 2016 that included proposed adjustments for transfer pricing issues related to cost sharing and buy-in license payments for the use of intangible property by one of the Company’s international subsidiaries. The Company disagreed with the proposed transfer pricing adjustments and related penalties, and in September 2016, the Company filed a protest to challenge the proposed adjustments and request a conference with the Appeals Office of the IRS. In May 2018, a preliminary understanding was reached with the IRS regarding the contested issues for the audit and post-audit years, which the Company expects may be finalized in fiscal year 2019 with the execution of a closing agreement. In June 2018, the Company made advance payments for audit and post-audit ~~year~~years tax of $140.7 million and interest of $37.4 million. These payments will reduce the accrual of interest on audit and post-audit ~~year~~years tax deficiencies that would be owed if the preliminary understanding is finalized. The Company’s reserves for unrecognized tax benefits are sufficient to cover the audit and post-audit ~~year~~years tax deficiencies that would be owed as a result of the preliminary understanding. In fiscal year 2017, the IRS commenced an audit of the Company’s federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2012 through 2014, which is ongoing. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company was notified that the IRS will commence an audit of the Company's federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2015 through 2016.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (“Maxim Integrated” or the “Company” and also referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”) disclaims any duty to and undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information relating to existing conditions, future events or otherwise or to release publicly the results of any future revisions it may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by federal securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully review future reports and documents that the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC from time to time, such as its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Overview of Business

Maxim Integrated is incorporated in the state of Delaware. Maxim Integrated designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits, commonly referred to as analog circuits, for a large number of geographically diverse customers. We also provide a range of high-frequency process technologies and capabilities that can be used in custom designs. The analog market is fragmented and characterized by many diverse applications, a great number of product variations and, with respect to many circuit types, relatively long product life cycles. We are a global company with a wafer manufacturing facility in the U.S., testing facilities in the Philippines and Thailand, and sales and circuit design offices around the world. We also utilize third party foundries for manufacturing of our products. The major end-markets in which our products are sold are the Automotive, Communications and Data Center, Computing, Consumer and Industrial markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The methods, estimates, and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require us to make our most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, which impacts the recording of net revenues; valuation of inventories, which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts impairment of long-lived assets; assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, which impacts impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; accounting for income taxes, which

impacts the income tax provision; and assessment of litigation and contingencies, which impacts charges recorded in cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and income taxes. These policies and the estimates and judgments involved are discussed further in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. We have other significant accounting policies that either do not generally require estimates

and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or it is less likely that such accounting policies would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.

Except for the accounting policies and estimates outlined under Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 2, there have been no material changes during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in 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 June 30, 2018.

Net Revenues

Net revenues were ~~$638.5~~$576.9 million and ~~$575.7~~$622.6 million for the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, respectively. Revenue from ~~consumer~~industrial products ~~was up 13%~~are down by 14%, ~~primarily driven~~mainly due to a decline in shipments of control and automation products. Revenue from communications and data center products are down by ~~higher sales~~20%, due to generally lower shipments of ~~wearables, smartphones~~server, basestation and ~~other consumer~~data center products. Revenue from automotive products ~~was~~are up ~~15%~~by 3%, ~~primarily~~ driven by ~~growth~~higher demand for auto powertrain, and auto safety and security products. In addition, the decrease in ~~battery management systems~~revenue was partially driven by a one-time incremental $22.0 million of revenue recognized as a result of the sell-in accounting revenue transition during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Also, the decrease in revenue was partially driven by the 13-week second quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to the 14-week second quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Net revenues were $1,215.4 million and $1,198.3 million for ~~electric vehicles~~the six months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. Revenue from automotive products are up by 8%, driven by higher demand for auto powertrain, and auto safety and security products. Revenue from ~~industrial~~consumer products ~~was also~~are up ~~12%~~by 7%, ~~primarily~~ driven by an overall higher ~~sales~~demand for cell phones, handheld computers, and wearable consumer products. Revenue from communications and data center products are down by 7% due to generally lower shipments of ~~control~~server and ~~automation~~basestation products.

During the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, approximately 89% and ~~89%~~87% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from customers outside of the United States. While less than 1.0% of our sales are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our revenue and results of operations for the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017 was immaterial.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin percentages were ~~67.4%~~64.7% and ~~64.9%~~65.8% for the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, respectively. Our gross margin decreased by 1.1 percentage points, due to higher inventory reserves.

Our gross margin percentages were 66.1% and 65.4% for the six months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. Our gross margin increased by ~~2.5~~0.7 percentage points, due to ~~improved factory utilization~~lower intangible amortization, and ~~a reduction in intangible amortization.~~certain one-time events, partially offset by higher inventory reserves.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were ~~$112.7~~$110.3 million and ~~$108.6~~$115.9 million for the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, respectively, which represented ~~17.7%~~19.1% and ~~18.9%~~18.6% of net revenues for each respective period. The ~~$4.1~~$5.6 million ~~increase~~decrease was ~~primarily attributable~~due to ~~an increase in~~lower salaries and related personnel expenses.

Research and development expenses were $223.0 million and $224.5 million for the six months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, which represented 18.3% and 18.7% of net revenues for each respective period. The $1.5 million decrease was due to lower salaries and related personnel expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were ~~$81.5~~$77.9 million and ~~$73.7~~$85.3 million for the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, respectively, which represented ~~12.8%~~13.5% and ~~12.8%~~13.7% of net revenues for each respective period. The ~~$7.8~~$7.5 million ~~increase~~decrease was ~~primarily attributable~~due to ~~an increase in~~lower salaries and related personnel expenses, as well as lower legal expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $159.4 million and $159.0 million for the six months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, which represented 13.1% and 13.3% of net revenues for each respective period. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained roughly flat year-over-year.

Severance and Restructuring Expenses

Severance and restructuring expenses were ~~$1.0~~$1.2 million and ~~$5.4~~$6.5 million for the three months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017, respectively, which represented 0.2% and ~~0.9%~~1.0% of net revenues for each respective period. The ~~$4.4~~$5.3 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in restructuring activities.

Severance and restructuring expenses were $2.2 million and $12.0 million for the ~~timing~~six months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, which represented 0.2% and 1.0% of ~~reorganization of certain business units and functions.~~net revenues for each respective period. The $9.8 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in restructuring activities.

Provision for Income Taxes

In the three and six months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018, ~~and September 23, 2017,~~ the Company recorded an income tax provision of ~~$36.2~~$50.8 million and ~~$26.4~~$87.0 million, respectively, compared to $272.9 million and $299.4 million for the three and six months ended December 30, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 was 27.8% and ~~September 23,~~20.9%, respectively, compared to 137.9% and 79.0% for the three and six months ended December 30, 2017, ~~was 15.5% and 14.6%,~~ respectively.

the ~~provisional~~amount of the Transition ~~Tax charge was made in~~Tax. In the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal year 2019, as the Company ~~continues to gather information~~completed this work and ~~analyze available guidance to more precisely compute~~recorded a discrete $22.1 million measurement period adjustment for the ~~amount~~Transition Tax, which increased the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 29, 2018 by 12.1% and 5.3%, respectively. As of the ~~Transition Tax.~~end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the accounting for income tax effects of the Act has been completed.

The Act ~~contains~~included Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions, which ~~first~~ impact the Company in fiscal year 2019. The GILTI provisions effectively subject income earned by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries to current U.S. tax at a rate of 10.5%, less foreign tax credits. Under U.S. GAAP the Company can make an accounting policy election to ~~either~~ recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to impact GILTI in future years or provide for tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense. The Company has elected to treat tax generated by the GILTI provisions as a period expense.

The Company’s federal statutory tax rate for ~~the first quarter of~~ fiscal year 2018 was ~~35%~~28.1%. ~~The Act did not impact the federal statutory tax rate and income tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 because it was enacted after the end of that quarter.~~ The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017 ~~of 14.6%~~ was ~~lower~~higher than the statutory rate primarily due to a $236.9 million discrete provisional charge for the Transition Tax, a $13.7 million discrete charge to remeasure deferred taxes as of the enactment date of the Act, $4.2 million and $8.0 million discrete charges for interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits in the three and six months ended December 30, 2017, respectively, partially offset by earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generated primarily by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates, and a $2.0 million discrete benefit for excess tax benefits generated by the settlement of share-based awards, partially offset by share-based compensation for which no tax benefit is expected and $3.9 million of discrete interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits.

rates.

BACKLOG

At ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and June 30, 2018, our current quarter backlog was approximately ~~$417.6~~$372.3 million and $441.1 million, respectively. In backlog, we include orders with customer request dates within the next three months. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, these orders may be canceled in most cases without penalty to customers. Accordingly, we believe that our backlog is not a reliable measure of future revenues. All backlog numbers have been adjusted for estimated future distribution ship and debit pricing adjustments.

The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company’s net revenues and on operating income during the three and six months ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 and ~~September 23,~~December 30, 2017 was not material.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and our chief financial officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of ~~September~~December 29, 2018. Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September~~December 29, 2018. The purpose of these controls

and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~September~~December 29, 2018 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

A system of internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance. The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect financial statement errors and misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is 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.
