Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial data at December 31, 2016 is2022 are derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 201710, 2023 (“Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows in conformity with GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Form 10-K. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the period presented have been included in the interim period. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2017.2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As permitted under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year forecasts. For interim

financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual effective income tax rates taking into consideration discrete items occurring in a quarter.

Dollar amounts and share amounts are presented in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted. Certain prior year’s balances may have been reclassified to conform to the current condensed consolidated financial statement presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which could have potential impact on the Company’s financial statements: 

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  This standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard sets forth a five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the current revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance.  To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASUs:

•ASU 2016-08 (Issued March 2016) — Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)

-7-


•ASU 2016-10 (Issued April 2016) — Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing

•ASU 2016-12 (Issued May 2016) — Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients

•ASU 2016-20 (Issued December 2016) — Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

This standard is effective in the first quarter of 2018.  We will adopt this standard using the modified retrospective method.  We have established a cross-functional coordinated implementation team to implement ASU 2014-09. We have completed our initial diagnostic assessment and are in the process of identifying and implementing changes to our systems and processes to meet the reporting and disclosure requirements. We continue to engage outside consultants to assist us in determining the effect this standard will have on our financial statements, to assist us in making necessary changes in our accounting practices and to assist us in making certain we are capturing the necessary detail to fulfill the disclosure requirements promulgated in this standard.

Based upon our initial assessment we believe the key revenue streams will be distribution and OEM sales, which combined comprise the majority of our business. The Company has not identified any contracts with customers containing multiple performance obligations. The Company has identified a number of variable consideration components within our contracts with customers and is in process of quantifying the overall impact related to the consideration to which the entity is entitled. The Company expects adoption of this new standard will not have a material impact on its income statement and balance sheet.

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the period ended September 30, 2017.  During the second quarter of 2017 we engaged outside accounting consultants to assist us in the implementation of this new standard.  The Company is in the process of assessing its outstanding leases.

ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting - In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions by requiring all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income tax expense or benefit in earnings, thus eliminating the requirement to classify the excess tax benefit and deficiencies as additional paid-in capital. Under the new guidance, an entity makes an accounting policy election to either estimate the expected forfeiture awards or account for forfeitures as they occur. We adopted ASU No. 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2017 and as a result will account for forfeitures as they occur.  The effect of the adoption related to the income tax portion was an increase of $4.8 million to retained earnings and to deferred income tax assets.  The effect of the adoption related to forfeitures was an increase to additional paid in capital of $0.8 million, an increase to deferred tax assets of $0.3 million and a decrease to retained earnings of $0.5 million.

ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting - In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification.  Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective prospectively for all companies for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted.  We early adopted this standard in the third quarter of 2017. Adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):  Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities – In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness.  The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal period before the effective date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12 during the third quarter of 2017. In accordance with ASU 2017-12, the Company recognizes all reclassifications out of other comprehensive income (other than those related to a hedged transaction becoming probable of not occurring) in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is being presented, which is consistent with the Company’s current policy.  Adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – Earnings per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and stock awards, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. A total of 0.7 million and 1.7 million stock options and stock awards outstanding during During the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 2016, respectively, and 0.7 million and 1.9 million stock options and stock awards outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because the effect was anti-dilutive.  2022, we paid no dividends on our Common Stock.

The table below sets forth the reconciliation between net income (loss) and the weighted average shares outstanding used for calculating basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:EPS:

The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2022, is primarily attributable to an immaterial expense for various discrete items. The increase in the effectivegeographical mix of pre-tax income and loss across tax rate over the nine months ended September 30, 2017 when comparedjurisdictions relative to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily attributableCompany’s consolidated pre-tax income.

However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages, which could impact on our business and operating results for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods. Based on information available, we evaluate the likelihood of potential outcomes.outcomes of all pending disputes. We record thean appropriate liability when the amount of any liability associated with a pending dispute is deemed probable and reasonably estimable.

Note 10 – Derivative Financial Instruments– At September 30, 2017

We use derivative instruments to manage risks related to foreign currencies, interest rates and the Company had approximately $40.2 millionnet investment risk in our foreign subsidiaries. Our objectives for holding derivatives include reducing, eliminating, and efficiently managing the economic impact of these exposures as effectively as possible. Our derivative programs include strategies that both qualify and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk - We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our different functional currencies. We use foreign currency hedges, whichforward agreements to manage this exposure. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $228.6 million and $183.1 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward agreements that are intended to offset approximately 25%preserve the economic value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities; these instruments are not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 815.

Hedges of Interest Rate and Net Investment Risk -The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, including interest rate collars, as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the Company's estimated foreign currency exposure.  These foreign currency hedges contributed approximately $0.5 millionagreements without exchange of income for the three months and nine months ended September 30,

Overview

Factors Relevant to Our Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

During the third quarter of 2017, revenue was a record high of $285.2 million, an increase of 8.0% from the $264.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and an increase of 13.8% from the $250.7 million in the third quarter of 2016;

Gross profit was a record high of $96.3 million, including $2.7 million of KFAB closure costs.  This compares to $90.1 million of gross profit in the second quarter of 2017 and $80.6 million in the third quarter of 2016;

Gross profit margin was 33.8%.  This compared to gross profit margin of 34.1% in the second quarter of 2017 and 32.2% in the third quarter of 2016;

We achieved record revenue in our computing and communications end markets, complimented by 30% year-over-year growth in both automotive and industrial;

Our automotive market reached 8% of revenue;

We achieved $40.9 million of cash flow from operations.

We continued the shutdown and relocation of KFAB;

We reduced our long-term debt $75.2 million; and

Looking forward we expect any future improvements in net income, if any, to result primarily from increases in sales volume and improvements in product mix, as well as manufacturing cost reduction in order to offset any reduction in the average selling prices of our products.

We believe that our focus on application-specific standard products utilizing innovative, highly efficient packaging and cost-effective process technologies, coupled with our collaborative, customer-focused product development, provides us with a meaningful competitive advantage relative to other semiconductor companies.

Summary for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Net sales were $467.2 million, a decrease of 3.1% from the $482.1 million in the first quarter 2022 and 5.8% from the $496.2 million in the fourth quarter 2022;
Gross profit was $194.5 million, a decrease of 1.1% from the $196.7 million in the first quarter 2022 and 5.7% from the $206.2 million in the fourth quarter 2022;
Gross profit margin was 41.6%, an increase of 80 basis points from the 40.8% in the first quarter 2022 and flat when compared to the fourth quarter 2022;
Net income attributable to common stockholders was $71.2 million, compared to $72.7 million in the first quarter 2022 and $92.1 million in the fourth quarter 2022;
Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders was $1.54 per diluted share, compared to $1.59 per diluted share in the first quarter 2022 and $2.00 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2022; and
We achieved $99.8 million cash flow from operations. We had cash capital expenditures of $48.0 million, or 10.3% of net sales and a decrease in debt of $60.8 million.

COVID-19

We remain focused on the safety and well-being of our stakeholders and on the service to our customers. We will continuously review and assess the rapidly-changing COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our customers, our suppliers and our business so that we can seek to address those impacts. COVID-19 has caused disruptions in the supply chain, creating worldwide shortages and delays in receiving goods and products. These shortages and delays have led to increased inflation and could result in a world-wide recession.

As of March 31, 2023, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $331.9 million, and we had access to additional borrowing capacity of $200.0 million under the revolving portion of our U.S. Credit Agreement, which we believe assures us adequate liquidity to manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and to cover cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

Net sales decreased approximately $14.9 million, or 3.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period last year. This decrease was the result of an economic slowdown resulting in less demand for our products, partially off set by improvements in product mix. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company experienced strong margin performance driven by execution on new product initiatives and product mix improvements. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, weighted-average sales price increased 16.8%, when compared to the same period in 2022. A key contributor to the improved product mix has been the Company's success in the automotive and industrial end markets, which together totaled 47% or our total product revenue.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Additional sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, funds from operationsshort-term investments and if necessary, borrowings under our credit facilities. We currently have a U.S. banking credit facility (the “U.S. Credit Facility”) under which we may draw up to $250 million on a revolving basis, in addition to a $250 million term loan included in the U.S. Credit Facility.  The U.S. Credit Facility matures October 26, 2021.  The term loan portion of the U.S. Credit Facility is repayable in part through quarterly installments that increase over time from $3.1 million per quarter in the current year of the U.S. Credit Facility to $9.4 million per quarter in the final year of the U.S. Credit Facility. We may from time to time request increases in the aggregate commitments under the U.S. Credit Facility of up to $200 million, subject to the lenders electing to increase their commitments or by means of the addition of new lenders,Our cash and subject to at least half of each increase in aggregate commitments being in the form of term loans, with the remaining amount of each increase being an increase in the amount of the revolving portion of the U.S. Credit Facility.  The U.S. Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR or similar indices plus a specified margin.  The U.S. Credit Facility contains certain financial and non-financial covenants, including, but not limited to, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and restrictions on liens, indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, dispositions,cash equivalents and restricted payments (including dividends and share repurchases).  At September 30, 2017, we owed $326.5cash decreased from $341.1 million under the U.S. Credit Facility, $145.0 million of which was drawn under the revolving portion and $181.5 million of which was outstanding under the term loan.

In addition to our U.S. Credit Facility, we maintain credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $66.1 million. As of September 30, 2017, in addition to the U.S. Credit Facility, our Asia subsidiaries had unused and available credit lines of up to an aggregate of approximately $63.2 million, with several financial institutions. In some cases, our foreign credit lines are unsecured, uncommitted and may be repayable on demand.  Our foreign credit lines include two Taiwanese credit facilities that are collateralized by assets. Our foreign credit lines bear interest at LIBOR or similar indices plus a specified margin. At September 30, 2017, $1.9 million was outstanding on these credit lines.  We also have a note payable to a bank located in Taiwan with a variable interest rate maturing July 6, 2021.  At September 30, 2017, approximately $1.3 million was outstanding under this loan.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our working capital was $476.32022 to $325.9 million and $547.4 million, respectively. We expect cash generated by our operations together with existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available credit facilities to be sufficient to cover cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.  

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $81.9 million and $47.1 million, respectively.  Capital expendituresMarch 31, 2023. This decrease in 2017 relate to capacity expansion in our Shanghai and Chengdu assembly and test facilities as well as the eight inch fabrication equipment upgrade in our wafer fabrication facility in Shanghai. For the first nine months of 2017 capital expenditures were approximately 10.4% of our net sales, which is above our capital spending target range of 5% to 9% of net sales, due to increased capital expenditures in our Asian operations.

We intend to permanently reinvest overseas all of our earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, except to the extent such undistributed earnings have previously been subject to U.S. tax; accordingly, deferred U.S. taxes are not recorded on undistributed foreign earnings.  As of September 30, 2017, our foreign subsidiaries held approximately $203.8 million of cash, cash equivalents and investmentsrestricted cash reflects normal operations of which approximately $129.6 million would be subject to a potential non-U.S. withholding and/or U.S. income tax if repatriated to the U.S. as dividends.

These investments are highly liquid with maturity dates greater than three months at the date of purchase. We generally can access these investments in a relatively short time frame but in doing so we generally forfeit all earned and future interest income.

Share Repurchase Program

During 2015,At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our Board of Directors (“Board”) approved a stock repurchase program.  The Board authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $100.0working capital was $731.4 million ofand $729.1 million, respectively. We expect cash generated by our outstanding Common Stock, $0.66 2/3 par value per share.  The share repurchase program is expected to continue through the end of 2019 unless extended or shortened by the Board.  Currently there is approximately $71.0 million available for repurchase of outstanding common stock under this publicly announced repurchase program.  No shares were repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2017.  

Discussion of Cash Flow

The $56.7 million is held in Germany, China, Korea, and Taiwan.

Short-term debt

Our Asia subsidiaries maintain credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $134.5 million. At March 31, 2023, outstanding borrowings were $34.7 million and outstanding letters of credit were $0.4 million under the Asia credit facilities. Our primary cash

The U.S. Credit Agreement matures in May 2024.

In addition to the liquidity provided by the U.S. Credit Agreement, our 51% owned subsidiary, Eris Technology Company ("ERIS"), borrowed $25.8 million on a long-term basis from $247.8 million at December 31, 2016local Taiwan banks. The ERIS debt matures in periods through 2033.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Keh-Shew Lu, and Chief Financial Officer, Richard D. White,Brett R. Whitmire, with the participation of our management, carried out an evaluation, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined

in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).) Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer believe that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be included in this reportQuarterly Report is:

recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and

accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions on required disclosure.

Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors, mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established processes.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, known to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, that occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2017, whichMarch 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from theto our risk factors from those disclosed in the “Risk Factors”Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2022, filed with the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2017, other than the modification of the following risk factor to reflect the use of foreign currency hedges intended to mitigate our exposures to foreign currency fluctuations.10, 2023.

We are subject to foreign currency risk as a result of our international operations.

We face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, principally the Chinese Yuan, the Taiwanese dollar, the Euro and the British Pound Sterling and, to a lesser extent, the Japanese Yen and the Hong Kong dollar. Our income and expenses are based on a mix of currencies and a decline in one currency relative to the other currencies could adversely affect our operating results. Furthermore, our operating results are reported in U.S. dollars, which is our reporting currency. In the event the U.S. dollar weakens against a foreign currency, we will experience a currency transaction loss, which could adversely affect our operating results. Also, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may have an adverse impact and be increasingly influential to our overall sales, profits and operating results as amounts that are measured in foreign currency are translated back to U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Our foreign currency risk may change over time as the level of activity in foreign markets grows and could have an adverse impact upon our financial results, especially if the portion of our sales attributable to Europe increases. We have taken, and plan to continue to take, efforts to mitigate some of our foreign currency exposure by entering into foreign exchange hedging agreements with financial institutions to reduce exposures to some of the principal currencies in countries in which we conduct sales, acquire raw materials, build products and make capital investments but these efforts may not be successful. In this regard, these hedging agreements do not cover all currencies in which we do business, do not eliminate foreign currency risk entirely for the currencies that they do cover, and involve costs and risks of their own in the form of transaction costs, credit requirements and counterparty risk.

PLEASE NOTE: It is inappropriate for investors to assume the accuracy of any covenants, representations or warranties that may be contained in agreements or other documents filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In certain instances the disclosure schedules to such agreements or documents contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants. Moreover, some of the representations and warranties may not be complete or accurate as of a particular date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that is different from those generally applicable to stockholders and/or were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing certain matters as facts. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts at the time they were made or otherwise.
