Techpoint, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Techpoint, Inc. (together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was originally incorporated in California in April 2012 and reincorporated in Delaware in July 2017.2017. The Company is a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets and sells mixed-signal integrated circuits for multiple video applications in the security surveillance and automotive markets. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California.

Basis of Consolidation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency gains or losses are recorded as other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statementscondensed consolidated statements of income and Comprehensive Income (Loss).comprehensive income.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 20212022 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which only include normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other future annual or interim periods.

Revenue Recognition

The Company principally sells its products to distributors who, in turn, sell to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), original design manufacturers (“ODM”), contract manufacturers, and design houses. Product revenue consists of sales of mixed-signal integrated circuits into the security surveillance and automotive markets. The Company generally requires advance payments from customers and records these advance payments, or contract liabilities, as customer deposits on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. No stock rotation, price protection or return rights are offered. The Company provides product assurance warranty only and does not offer warranties to be purchased separately. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the Company's customers, upon shipment, whereby legal title, risks and rewards of ownership, and physical possession are transferred to the customer.

Use of Management’s Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts ofrevenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the condensed consolidated financial statements include inventory valuation and the valuation allowance for recorded deferred tax assets. These estimates are based upon information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in a dynamic industry and can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, any of the following areas could have a negative effect on the Company in terms of its future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the general state of the U.S., China and world economies; the highly cyclical nature of the industries the Company serves; successful and timely completion of product design efforts; trade restrictions by the United States against the Company's customers in China, or potential retaliatory trade actions taken by China; the loss of any of its larger customers; restrictions on the Company's ability to sell to foreign customers due to additional U.S. or new China trade laws, regulations and requirements; disruptions of the supply chain of components needed for its products; fundamental changes in the technology underlying the Company’s products; the hiring, training and retention of key employees; and new product design introductions by competitors.


6


The Company has been impacted by adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. These conditions include but are not limited to inflation, foreign currency fluctuations, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the supply chain challenges and disruptions caused by any of these events. Management continues to actively monitor the impact of these conditions on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, end-customers (including its significant end-customers), distributors, suppliers, industry, and workforce. The extent to which such events impact the Company’s business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. The Company has made estimates of the impact of these events within its financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.

Credit and Concentration of Customer and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, and trade receivables. Risks associated with cash and cash equivalents, and investments are mitigated by banking with, and investing in, creditworthy institutions. The Company generally requires advance payments from customers. The Company also performs credit evaluations of its customers and provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business. The Company has not incurred bad debt write-offs during any of the periods presented.

For each significant customer, or distributor, and significant end-customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue iswas as follows:

Concentration of Supplier Risk

The Company currently relies on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and United Microelectronics Corporation (formerly Fujitsu Electronics America, Inc.) to produce substantially all of its semiconductors. Also, it relies on Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. and Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation to assemble, package and test substantially all of its semiconductors to satisfy substantially all of the Company’s production requirements. The failure of any subcontractor to fulfill the production requirements of the Company on a timely basis would adversely impact future results. Although there are other subcontractors that are capable of providing similar services, an unexpected change in either subcontractor would cause delays in the Company’s products and potentially result in a significant loss of revenue.

Recently IssuedAdopted Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for SEC filersreporting companies that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies under the SEC’s definition, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impactadopted this guidance mayon January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on itsthe Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-4, Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50), which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a userstatements as of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. Supplier finance programs, which also may be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance, or structured payables arrangements, allow a buyer to offer its suppliers the option for access to payment in advance of an invoice due date, which is paid by a third-party


finance provider or intermediary on the basis of invoices that the buyer has confirmed as valid. Under such programs, suppliers can request early payment from the finance provider or intermediary for those confirmed invoices. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,six months ended June 30, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. As the Company does not have any supplier finance program obligations, the guidance is not expected to have any impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2. Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

The Company classifies certificates of deposit and treasury bills in Level 1 since valuations are based on direct or indirect observable input other than quoted market price. The Company also classifies money market funds in Level 1 since the financial assets consist of securities for which quoted prices are available in an active market.

In addition, theThe Company classifies governmental agency bonds, corporate bonds and commercial paperpapers in Level 2 since the financial assets use observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. The Company uses a pricing service to assist in determining the fair values of all of its cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments. The pricing service uses inputs from multiple industry standard data providers or other third party sources and applies various acceptable methodologies.

4. Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance on a regular basis. Accordingly, the Company considers itself to be one reportable segment, which is comprised of one operating segment - the designing, marketing and selling of mixed-signal integrated circuits for the security surveillance and automotive markets.

Product revenue from customers is designated based on the geographic region to which the product is delivered. Revenue by geographic region was as follows (in thousands):

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company leases facilities under non-cancelable lease agreements expiring through fiscal year 2024. The Company’s agreements do not include variable lease payments or any restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases. As the rate implicit in each lease agreement is not readily determinable, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate was used as the discount rate. The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have been adjusted for initial direct costs and prepaid rent but do not reflect any options to extend or terminate its lease agreements, any residual value guarantees, or any leases that have not yet commenced.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the11

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, there was no material increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits nor anyand no accrued interest andor penalties related to uncertain tax positions.


As of September June 30, 2022,2023, the Company had approximately $0.4$0.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits of which $0.3 million$0.3 million was netted against deferred tax assets with a full valuation allowance. If these amounts are recognized, there will be a tax benefit of $0.1$0.1 million against the Company’s effective tax rate.

The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 ("CHIPS") and the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") of 2022 were signed into law by President Biden on August 9, 2022 and August 16, 2022, respectively. The legislation introduces new options for monetizing certain

Overview

We are a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets and sells mixed-signal integrated circuits for multiple video applications in the security surveillance and automotive markets. Our integrated circuits are enabling the transition from standard definition (“SD”) video to high definition (“HD”) video in the security surveillance and automotive markets.

Our solutions take HD video signals from a camera and convert them into analog signals for reliable long-distance transmission, then convert the HD analog signal into the appropriate format for video processing and display. Our HD analog technology operates at the same 1080p HD resolution as digital HD, but processes video in an HD analog format and transmits the video in this same analog format, thereby eliminating the need for any compression or decompression. Our integrated circuits are based on our proprietary architecture and mixed signal technologies that we believe provide high video quality, enable high levels of integration and are cost effective. Our integrated circuits are used by security surveillance manufacturers, such as Hikvision in China, IDIS in South Korea and AVTech in Taiwan.

We derive our revenue from sales of our mixed-signal integrated circuits into the automotive and security surveillance and automotive markets. We began shipping our products in 2013 and to date, we have sold 215over 381 million integrated circuits. Our revenue was $48.6$29.4 million and $47.2$33.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The automotive market accounted for 64% and 2021,58% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The security surveillance market accounted for 43%36% and 52%42% of our revenue infor the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021, respectively. The automotive market accounted for a 57% and 48% of our revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We recognized $20.8$18.7 million and $24.4$19.1 million of revenue on sales into the automotive market for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, we recognized $10.7 million and $14.0 million of revenue on sales into the security surveillance market for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021, respectively. In addition, we recognized $27.8 million and $22.8 million of revenue on sales into the automotive market for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We recorded net income of $12.6$7.4 million and $12.7$8.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.

We sell our products to distributors that fulfill third-party orders for our products. We also sell directly to original design manufacturers (“ODM”).OEM/ODM. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, we derived substantially all of our revenue from products sold to distributors as compared to products sold to OEM/ODM directly.

We undertake significant product development efforts well in advance of a product’s release and in advance of receiving purchase orders. Our product development efforts, which are focused on developing new designs with broad demand and potential for future derivative products, typically take from six to twenty-four months until production begins, depending on the product’s complexity. If we secure a design win, we believe the system designer is likely to continue to use the same or enhanced versions of our product across a number of their models, tending to extendextending the life cycles of our products. Conversely, if a competitor secures the design win, it may be difficult for us to sell into the end-customer’s application for an extended period. Our sales cycle typically ranges from one to three years for the automotive market and three to six months for the security surveillance market and one to three years for the automotive market. Due to the length of our product development and sales cycle, the majority of our revenue for any period is likely to be weighted toward products introduced for sale in the prior one or two years. As a result, our present revenue is not necessarily representative of future sales because our future sales are likely to be comprised of a different mix of products, some of which are now in the development stage.

We employ a fabless manufacturing strategy and use market-leading suppliers for all phases of the manufacturing process, including wafer fabrication, assembly, testing and packaging. This strategy significantly reduces the capital investment that would otherwise be required to operate manufacturing facilities of our own.

We have made significant investments in research and development in order to develop our products to attract and retain end-customers. OurFor the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our research and development expense was $2.0$3.5 million and $2.0$4.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $6.2 million and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our research and development expenses can vary from period-to-period and can be significantly impacted by the number of tape-outs and new products that we initiate in any given period. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we had 8083 employees, 2725 of whom are in research and development. Our headquarters are located in San Jose, California, with additional operations in Japan, Taiwan, China and South Korea.

Effective October 9, 2019, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) added Hikvision, a customer that represented 37%26% and 40%35% of our revenue for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021, respectively, and 36% and 38% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, to the BIS Entity List with a license requirement for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”). The BIS Entity List is a published list of the names of certain foreign persons, including businesses, research institutions, government and private organizations and individuals, that are subject to specific governmental license requirements for the export, reexport and/or transfer of specified items. These license requirements could make it more difficult to ship, or in some cases, prevent the shipment of products to certain foreign persons named on the BIS Entity List.

We have taken action to confirm whether our products are subject to EAR. We have retained the continuous assistance of outside experts and, following Hikvision’s designation on the BIS Entity List, performed a comprehensive review of our products and manufacturing operations. Based on that review, we have concluded that our products are not subject to EAR. Therefore, our products may continue to be shipped to Hikvision without a U.S. export license, even though Hikvision appears on the BIS Entity List.

On November 12, 2020, President Trump issued Executive Order 13959 on Addressing the Threat from Securities Investments that Finance Communist Chinese Military Companies which prohibits any transaction in publicly traded securities, or any securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to such securities, of any identified Communist Chinese military company, which included Hikvision. On June 3, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14032 amending the prior Executive Order. As amended, Executive Order 13959 continues to prohibit certain transactions involving the purchase or sale of publicly traded securities of designated companies. Restrictions are applicable to certain entities designated as Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies who have been placed on the “CMIC List.” Hikvision was listed in the Annex to Executive Order 14032 and is currently on the CMIC List. However, Hikvision is not on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List and the restrictions imposed by these Executive Orders are not expected to directly impact our business.

On November 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the Secure Equipment Act of 2021, which requires the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) to adopt rules no later than November 11, 2022 clarifying that it will no longer review or approve any application for equipment authorization for equipment that is on the list of covered communications equipment or services published by the FCC under section 2(a) of the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019. Items on the FCC’s “covered list” include video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by Hikvision, to the extent it is used for the purpose of public safety, security of government facilities, physical security surveillance of critical infrastructure, and other national security purposes, including telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entity or using such equipment. The restrictions to be imposed by the FCC pursuant to the Secure Equipment Act of 2021 would impact imports of certain Hikvision equipment into the United States by eliminating the ability of Hikvision to obtain FCC approval for its video surveillance and telecommunications equipment. The FCC is also considering the adoption of new rules to revoke past authorization issued for Hikvision equipment, but the FCC actions taken to date are currently not expected to directly impact our business. This may or may not directly impact our revenue in the future. In the event there is an impact on our revenue, we believe that it would be gradual and limited in scope both because Hikvision continues to sell its currently approved products in the U.S. and because other manufacturers that incorporate our products could take market share from Hikvision in the U.S. We believe that our revenue would decrease only a few percentage points even if Hikvision’s business is fully impacted by the restrictions to be enacted, which wouldimposed by the FCC that limit Hikvision’s ability to import its future products into the U.S. Additionally, we plan to continue growing our revenue from new and existing customers, thus further limiting the impact of the restrictions to be imposed by the FCC when regulations are enacted and which maythat impact the importation of certain of Hikvision’s future products into the U.S.

On October 7, 2022, BIS placed on public display an interim final rule amending the EAR to, among other things, implement controls on advanced computing integrated circuits, computer commodities that contain such circuits, and certain semiconductor manufacturing items. We have reviewed this rule and do not expect it to directly impact our business.

The above conclusions are as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. It is possible that changes in U.S. regulations or policies in the future may impose restrictions, including the imposition of license requirements or even a full or partial prohibition, on our sale of products to Hikvision.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

The following are key factors that impact our results of operations:

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions. We have been impacted by adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. These conditions include but are not limited to inflation, foreign currency fluctuations, the COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain challenges and disruptions caused by any of these events. Management continues to actively monitor the impact of these conditions on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, end-customers (including its significant end-customers), distributors, suppliers, industry, and workforce. The extent to which such events impact the Company’s business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain.

As our products are primarily sold in Asia, we are particularly impacted by shutdowns and government actions in the countries in that region. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact on our business and that of our customers and suppliers. This has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the pandemic, such as travel bans and


restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, business shutdowns and vaccination efforts. All of our offices in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea and Taiwan have been impacted by COVID-19 and have been subject to various measures implemented by local governments to reduce its spread. These measures may adversely impact our employees and operations and the operations of our end-customers (including our significant end-customers), distributors and suppliers, and may negatively impact our sales and marketing activities. Actions taken by government authorities to limit COVID-19 may be re-implemented for a significant period of time, which could adversely affect our sales and marketing activities, product delivery schedule, and our business, financial condition and results of operations. Despite these limitations, we have been able to secure products from our suppliers, fulfill our customers’ purchase orders and increase revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the previous year.

20


Ability to attract and retain customers that make large orders. While we expect the composition of our end-customers to change over time, our business and operating results depend on our ability to continually target new and retain existing end-customers that make large orders. As previously noted, Hikvision, the largest security surveillance manufacturer in China, as previously noted, is one of our significant end-customers. Although large customers can help us increase our revenue and improve our results of operations, reliance on large customers is a risk to our business. For example, Section 889 of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) could adversely impact our business with Hikvision. Section 889(a)(1)(A) went into effect on August 13, 2019 and prohibits U.S. government agencies from procuring or obtaining equipment or services that use covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component or critical technology, including certain video surveillance products or telecommunications equipment and services produced or provided by Hikvision. On July 14, 2020, the U.S. government issued an interim final rule that implements Section 889(a)(1)(B) effective as of August 13, 2020. This rule prohibits the U.S. government from entering into contracts with persons who use covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system, which again includes certain Hikvision video surveillance products. Although Section 889 does not prohibit commercial sales of video surveillance products by Hikvision in the U.S., which we understand is the predominant business Hikvision does in the U.S. with video surveillance products that incorporate our products, the impact of these new regulations and the uncertainty of U.S. and China trade relations may adversely impact our business in the future with Hikvision and other significant customers.

Design wins with new and existing customers. We believe our products provide high-quality HD video with an attractive combination of characteristics, at a lower overall cost than competing solutions. In order to get our solutions designed into our end-customer’s products, we work with our end-customers and potential end-customers to understand their product roadmaps and strategies. We consider design wins to be critical to our future success. We define a design win as the successful completion of the evaluation stage, where an end-customer has tested our product, verified that our product meets its requirements and qualified our integrated circuits for their products. We have secured design wins with major automotive manufacturers to sell our solutions to them for automotive backup cameras. The revenue that we generate, if any, from each design win can vary significantly. Our long-term sales expectations are based on forecasts from end-customers, internal estimates of end-customer demand factoring in expected time to market for end-customer products incorporating our solutions and associated revenue potential and internal estimates of overall demand based on historical trends.

Pricing, product cost and gross margins of our products. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the timing of changes in pricing, shipment volumes, new product introductions, changes in product mixes, changes in our purchase price of fabricated wafers and assembly and test service costs, manufacturing yields and inventory write downs, if any. In general, newly introduced products and products with higher performance and more features tend to be priced higher than older, more mature products. Average selling prices in the semiconductor industry typically decline as products mature. Consistent with thisthe historical trend, we expect that the average selling prices of our products will, in the longer term, decline as theyour product lines mature. In the normal course of business, we will seek to offset the effect of declining average selling prices on existing products by reducing manufacturing costs and introducing new and higher value-added products. If we are unable to maintain overall average selling prices or offset any declines in average selling prices with realized savings on product costs, our gross margin will decline.

Product adoption and safety regulations in the automotive market. We have secured design wins with major automotive equipment manufacturers to sell our solutions to them for automotive backup cameras. Certain jurisdictions including the United States, have passed laws and regulations requiring that all new cars sold after a certain date must contain back-up cameras, including with respect to cars sold in the United States after May 2018. If these jurisdictions do not maintain and implement these rules, or if back-up cameras are not put into automobiles sold in other locations as well, or do so more slowly than we expect, our financial results could be adversely affected.

Investment in growth. We have invested, and intend to continue to invest, in expanding our operations, increasing our headcount, developing our products and differentiated technologies to support our growth and expanding our infrastructure. We expect our total operating expenses to increase significantly in the foreseeable future to meet our growth objectives. We plan to continue to invest in our sales and support operations throughout the world, with a particular focus in the near term of adding additional sales and field applications personnel in the Asia-Pacific region to further broaden our support and coverage of our existing end-customer base,


in addition to developing new end-customer relationships and generating design wins. We also intend to continue to invest additional resources in research and development to support the development of our products and differentiated technologies. Any investments we make in our sales and marketing organization, or research and development will occur in advance of experiencing any benefits from such investments, and the return on these investments may be lower than we expect. In addition, as we invest in expanding our operations into new areas internationally, our business and results will become further subject to the risks and challenges of operations in those locations, including potentially higher operating expenses and the impact of legal and regulatory developments.

Components of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income Statements

Revenue

We derive substantially all of our revenue through the sale of our products to distributors who, in turn, sell to our end-customers, which consists of OEM, ODM, contract manufacturers and design houses. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASCAccounting Standards Codification Topic 606 after we (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) satisfy the performance obligation when control is transferred to the customer.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs paid to our third-party manufacturers for wafer fabrication, assembly and testing of our products. To a lesser extent, cost of revenue also includes write-downs of inventory for excess and obsolete inventory, depreciation of test equipment, and expenses relating to manufacturing support activities, including personnel-related costs, logistics and quality assurance and shipping.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and associated costs of employees engaged in research and development, contractor costs, tape-out costs, development testing and evaluation costs, and depreciation expense. Before releasing new products, we incur charges for mask sets, prototype wafers and mask set revisions, which we refer to as tape-out costs. Tape-out costs may cause our research and development expenses to fluctuate because they are not incurred uniformly every quarter. We expect our research and development costs to increase in absolute dollars in the future as we increase our investment in new product development and headcount to support our development efforts.

22


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our sales, business development, marketing, and applications engineering activities, promotional and other marketing expenses, and travel expenses. We expect selling expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to expand our sales teams and increase our marketing activities.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, consulting expenses, professional fees and facility costs. Professional fees principally consist of legal, audit, tax and accounting services. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we hire additional personnel, make improvements to our infrastructure and incur significant additional costs for the compliance requirements of operating as a U.S. company that is publicly traded in Japan, including higher legal, insurance and accounting expenses. Personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, are the most significant component of each of selling expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists of our estimated federal, state and foreign income taxes based on our pre-tax income. Our provision differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the research and development credit, foreign derived intangible income deduction and stock-based compensation deduction.deduction.

Our product pricing has increased in our target markets in response to our increased manufacturing costs. Additionally, fluctuations in our overall average selling price are directly attributable to changes in product mix given the natural pricing variation of the products in our portfolio and customer base. When the product mix shifts towards the higher priced products in our portfolio, the average selling price will be higher than when the product mix shifts towards the lower price point products. Decreases in the volume of shipments is primarily reflective of customer buildup of product in the second quarter of 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary use of cash is to fund our operations as we continue to grow our business. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay expenses, as reflected in the changes in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses. In 2021, our Board of Directors adopted a dividend policy to link dividend payments to business performance on an ongoing basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in financing activities consists primarily of $4.6 million in dividend payments to holders of our common stock (including common stock underlying JDS) under this recently adopted dividend policy. On

26


June 2, 2023, we announced the second installment payment of our cash dividend to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2023, which was paid on July 18, 2023.

Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 were $44.6$50.9 million. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash we expect to generate from operations in the future will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of our spending to support research and development activities, the timing and cost of establishing additional sales and marketing capabilities, the introduction of new and enhanced products and our costs to implement new manufacturing technologies or potentially acquire and integrate other companies or assets. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future could also involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Additionally, if we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, or issue convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Operating Activities

Our primary source of cash from operating activities has been from cash collections from our customers. We expect cash inflowsflows from operating activities to be affected by fluctuations in sales. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for personnel costs and investments in research and development and sales and marketing.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $14.0$7.6 million, primarily due to net income of $12.6$7.4 million, non-cash charges of $1.6$0.5 million net and net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.2$0.4 million.

Non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $1.4$0.7 million, amortization of operating lease right-of-use assets of $0.3 million, an increase in the inventory valuation adjustment of $0.2 million, and depreciation of $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred tax assets of $0.6 million, and accretion of premium on available-for-sale investments of $0.3 million.

Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $0.4 million, primarily consisting of a $0.3 million decrease in account payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of customer payments, a $0.2 million decrease in other liabilities, and a $0.2 million increase in prepaid expense and other current asset due to timing of payments, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in inventory, as units manufactured during the period and on hand were less than product sales.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $10.4 million, primarily due to net income of $8.5 million, non-cash charges of $1.2 million and net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.8 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $1.0 million, amortization of $0.6operating lease right-of-use assets of $0.4 million, an increase in the inventory valuation allowance of $0.4 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.3$0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred tax assets of $1.2$0.8 million.

Net cash outflowsinflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $0.2$0.8 million, primarily consisting of a $1.4$1.2 million increase in inventory, netaccrued expenses due to timing of valuation allowance,payments to vendors, a $0.3 million decrease in accounts receivable due to timing of receipts from customers versus shipment of units, and a $0.2 million decrease in prepaid expenses due to timing of payments, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in inventory, as units manufactured during the period and on hand were in excess of product sales, and a $0.7$0.3 million decrease in accounts payable, lease and other liabilities. Outflows were offset by inflows from a $1.0 million increase in accrued liabilities, a $0.2 million decrease in accounts receivable due to timing of receipts from customers versus shipment of units, a $0.4 million decrease in prepaid expenses due to timing of payments, and a $0.3 million increase in customer deposits.

Investing Activities

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $12.4 million, primarily due to net income of $12.7 million, non-cash charges of $2.3 million and net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.7 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $1.3 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million and operating lease amortization of $0.6 million.

Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $2.7 million, primarily attributable to a $3.5 million cash outflow for inventory as units manufactured during the period and on hand were in excess of product sales during the period to support future demand and a $0.6 million cash outflow in lease liabilities and other liabilities due to the renewal of an operating lease,


partially offset by a $0.5 million cash inflow in accrued liabilities due to the timing of services performed, a $ 0.5 million cash inflow due to an increase in accounts payable due to the timing of payments to vendors, and a $0.4 million cash decrease in customer deposits due to the timing of customer pre-payments.

Financing Activities

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, cash used in financing activities was $9.0approximately $4.6 million, primarily due to the payment of dividends totaling $9.0$4.6 million in February and July, 2022, as discussed in “Dividends” in Note 6dividend payments. Other inflows consisted of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and $0.2 million in net proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by $0.2 million in payments for shares withheld for tax withholdings ondue to vesting of restricted stock units.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Estimates and Judgments

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. Please see Note 1 of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of significant accounting policies and Part II, Item 7 “Critical7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of our critical accounting estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative

Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We seek to minimize these risks through regular operating activities. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

28


Foreign exchange rates

We transact business globally and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign exchange rates. Substantially all of our revenue was derived from sales outside of the U.S. in the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.2022. This revenue is generated in U.S. dollars with sales through distributors worldwide. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our subsidiaries are located and may be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To date, we have not entered into any hedging contracts, but may elect to do so in the future. A hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in foreign exchange rates for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 would not have resulted in a significant increase or decrease in revenue or net income during that period.


The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of our foreign operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the functional currency of the subsidiary at the balance sheet date. The gains and losses from remeasurement of foreign currency denominated balances into the functional currency of the subsidiary are included in other income-netincome (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Income Statementscondensed consolidated statements of income and Comprehensive Income (loss).comprehensive income.

Interest rates

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash, cash equivalents and investments. Our cash, cash equivalents and investments consist primarily of cash, money market funds, corporate notes and bonds, and commercial paper. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of capital, the maintenance of liquidity, and capturing a market rate of return. We seek to minimize risk by investing cash in excess of our operating needs in high-quality instruments issued by highly creditworthy financial institutions. We do not enter intopurchase investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the nature of these instruments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. Decreases in interest rates, however, would reduce future interest income.

A hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in interest rates in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022 would not have resulted in a significant increase or decrease in cash, cash equivalents or the fair value of our investment during those periods.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on management’s evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Additionally, we have undertaken measures to protect our employees, suppliers, and customers, including encouraging, and in many cases requiring employees to work remotely as appropriate. We have also modified some of our internal controlscontrol procedures, but those changes have not been significant and have not materially affected and are not reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

29


PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Although we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, and no legal proceeding is currently threatened against us, we may be subject to legal proceedings, claims andand litigation, including intellectual property litigation, arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes and are not predictable with assurance. We accrue amounts that we believe are adequate to address any liabilities related to legal proceedings and other loss contingencies that we believe may result in a probable loss that is reasonably estimableestimable..


Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the previously disclosed risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. You should consider carefully these factors, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, before making an investment decisiondecision..
