Corporate information and statement of IFRS compliance [abstract] | |
Organization | Organization GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (“GLOBALFOUNDRIES”) is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The address of GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ registered office is P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104 Cayman Islands. GLOBALFOUNDRIES and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company”) is one of the world’s largest pure-play semiconductor foundries and offers a full range of mainstream wafer fabrication services and technologies. The Company manufactures a broad range of semiconductor devices, including microprocessors, mobile application processors, baseband processors, network processors, radio frequency modems, microcontrollers, and power management units. GLOBALFOUNDRIES is a majority owned subsidiary of Mubadala Technology Investments LLC (“Shareholder”) through its subsidiaries, Mubadala Technology Investment Company and MTI International Investment Company LLC.

Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation | 12 Months Ended |

Corporate information and statement of IFRS compliance [abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented in United States (“U.S.”) dollars, and prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise described in the notes below. Basis of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of GLOBALFOUNDRIES and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which GLOBALFOUNDRIES obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities included in these consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 29. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. Specifically, the Company controls a subsidiary if the Company (a) has power over the subsidiary, (b) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with subsidiary, and (c) has the ability to use the power to affect its returns. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) are attributed to the Shareholder of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value. Foreign Currency Translation —Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and revenue and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign operations are included in OCI. In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company, foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using the closing rate at the applicable consolidated statement of financial position dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value, are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined and non-monetary assets measured at historical cost are translated at the historical rate. Revenue and expenses are measured in the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions with gains or losses included in the statements of operations. |

Accounting Policies, Changes In Accounting Estimates And Errors [Abstract] | |
Summary of Material Accounting Policies | Summary of Material Accounting Policies The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except if mentioned otherwise. In addition, the Company adopted Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) from 1 January 2023. The amendments require the disclosure of ‘material’, rather than ‘significant’, accounting policies. The amendments also provide guidance on the application of materiality to disclosure of accounting policies, assisting entities to provide useful, entity-specific accounting policy information that users need to understand other information in the financial statements. Management reviewed the accounting policies and made updates to the information disclosed in Note 3 Material accounting policies (2022: Significant accounting policies) in certain instances in line with the amendments. Investments in Joint Operations —A joint operation is an arrangement in which the Company has joint control whereby the Company has rights to assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to an arrangement. The Company accounts for each of its assets, liabilities and transactions, including its share of those held or incurred jointly, in relation to the joint operation. Cash and Cash Equivalents —Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid time deposits and investments that are readily convertible into cash, which are not subjected to significant risk of changes in value, and have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Trade Accounts Receivable— Trade accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value. A provision for impairment of trade accounts receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivable. Inventories —Inventories are stated at standard cost adjusted to the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company measures the cost of its inventory based on a standard cost process with appropriate adjustments for purchasing and manufacturing variances, which approximates weighted average cost. Inventory allowances are made on an item-by-item basis, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. An allowance is made for the estimated losses due to obsolescence based on expected future demand and market conditions. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Financial Instruments: Category of financial instruments and measurement Recognition and Initial Measurement —Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at fair value in the profit and loss (“FVPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price. Classification and Measurement —All recognized financial assets are measured based on amortized cost or fair value. The classification is based on two criteria, the Company’s business model for managing the assets and whether the instrument’s contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments are solely comprised of principal and interest is made based on the facts and circumstances at the initial recognition of assets. Financial assets include trade and other receivables. These are recorded at amortized cost when such financial assets are held with the objective to collect contract cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. Financial assets recorded at FVPL comprise unquoted equity instruments which the Company had not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition, to classify at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). Financial assets recorded at FVOCI comprise marketable securities that are quoted debt instruments when such financial assets are held with the objectives of both collecting contractual cash flows and selling these financial assets, and meet the SPPI criterion. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses and interest income which are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Derecognition of financial assets The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another entity. On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in OCI is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Impairment of financial assets The Company will record an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all loans to related parties, marketable securities (that are quoted debt instruments), contract assets, and trade receivables and other receivables not recorded at FVPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted using the asset’s effective interest rate. The Company estimated its ECL for its contract assets and trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime credit losses, while marketable securities and other receivables are measured at 12-months ECL if they are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. Offsetting of Financial Instruments —Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is an enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting —Through its operating, investing and financing activities in the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to various types of market risk including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and risks associated with changes in the market price of certain commodities. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and commodity swaps to mitigate a portion of the risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company’s objective for holding derivatives include reducing, eliminating and efficiently managing the economic impact of these exposures as effectively as possible. The Company’s derivative programs include strategies that both qualify and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. However, the Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge a portion of certain foreign currency-denominated forecasted operating expenditures, primarily in Euro (“EUR”), Japanese Yen (“JPY”) and Singapore Dollar (“SGD”). The Company also hedges future cash flows for certain foreign currency-denominated forecasted capital expenditures, primarily in EUR and JPY. Certain foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are also used to manage the variability in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet amounts and to manage other foreign currency exposures. The Company uses interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps to protect itself against adverse fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and to reduce its exposure to variability in forecasted cash flows associated with the Company’s floating-rate and foreign currency-denominated debt. The Company also uses commodity swaps to hedge forecasted electricity and natural gas purchases to minimize the impact of commodity price movements on the reported earnings of the Company and on future cash flows related to fluctuations of the contractually specified, separately identifiable and reliably measurable commodity risk component. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge, and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether there continues to be an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instruments. The Company designates these derivative instruments in cash flow hedges of forecasted operating and capital expenditures or floating-rate and foreign currency-denominated debt, as applicable, and evaluates hedge effectiveness prospectively. The effective portion of the gain or loss on these contracts is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations in the same line item and in the same period during which the associated hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. For hedges of capital expenditures, the amount in OCI is incorporated into the initial carrying amounts of the non-financial assets and depreciated over the average useful life of the associated assets. Any ineffective portion of hedges or changes in fair value from excluded components of the hedge are immediately recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in OCI is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. Property, Plant and Equipment —Construction in progress and property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Major additions and improvements are capitalized as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item and the cost of the item can be measured reliably; minor replacements and repairs are charged to the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also capitalizes interest on borrowings related to eligible capital expenditures. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of qualified assets and depreciated together with that asset cost. The Company also records capital-related government grants as a reduction to property, plant and equipment. Commencement of depreciation related to construction in progress and property, plant and equipment involves determining when the assets are available for their intended use. The Company considers various factors which include functionality, engineering specifications, nature and usage of assets among others, in assessing the conditions necessary for the assets to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. The Company also factors in the length of time it takes for the assets to reach the tooling qualification criteria from the initial point of when the assets are received. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Building and leasehold/land improvements Up to 50 years (or the remaining lease term of related land on which the buildings are erected, if shorter) Equipment 2 to 10 years Computers 5 years The Company periodically assesses the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment. As a result of a review completed in April 2023, the Company concluded the estimated maximum useful life of certain buildings should be increased from 26 years to 50 years. This change in estimate was applied prospectively, effective beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The impact of the change in estimated useful lives of certain buildings resulted in an increase to income before income taxes of $76 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Leases —The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use assets —Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are reported within property, plant and equipment, and are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. Lease liabilities —At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying assets. The Company’s lease liabilities are separately reported in the consolidated statements of financial position under non-current portion of lease obligations and current portion of lease obligations. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets —The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases that have a lease term not exceeding 12 months, or for leases of low-value assets. The payment for such leases is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Intangible Assets —Technology, patent, software licenses and similar rights acquired separately are stated at cost less accumulated amortization or are adjusted to fair value when impaired. Intangible assets acquired through business combinations which include customer relationships and manufacturing and process technology, are recorded at estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the respective intangible asset are consumed, which is, in general, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of between 3 and 10 years . The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets —The Company reviews, at each reporting date, the carrying amount of the Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to dispose and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The Company also evaluates, and adjusts, if appropriate, the asset’s useful lives, at each reporting date or when impairment indicators exist. In assessing value in use, the estimated future post-tax cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations to the extent the recoverable amount, measured at the present value of discounted cash flows attributable to the assets, is less than their carrying value. If the recoverable amount subsequently increases, the impairment loss previously recognized will be reversed to the extent of the increase in the recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. The impairment loss reversal is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. Revenue Recognition —The Company generates revenue primarily from fabricating semiconductor wafers for its customers using the manufacturing processes based on their own or third parties’ proprietary integrated circuit designs and, to a lesser extent, the Company also generates revenue from engineering and other pre-fabrication services such as non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services, which include design services and mask production. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. The performance obligations are satisfied at the point at which control of the wafers is transferred to the customer, which is determined to be at the point of wafer shipment from the Company’s facilities or delivery to the customer location. NRE services are recognized over time as the Company performs the services based on a percentage of costs incurred over total expected costs. The Company generally requires a purchase order from all of its customers, to which the Company responds with an order acknowledgement and a copy of the Company’s standard terms and conditions. The Company also enters into master supply agreements (“MSA”) with certain of its customers that may specify additional terms and conditions, such as pricing formulas based on volume, volume discounts, calculation of yield adjustments, indemnifications, transfer of title and risk of loss, and payment terms. The Company also requires a purchase order from its customers with which it has MSAs for specific products and quantities. As a result, the Company has concluded that the combination of a purchase order and order acknowledgement, including the Company’s standard terms and conditions, and the MSA, if applicable, create enforceable rights and obligations between the Company and its customers. For certain customers under long-term supply agreements (“LTAs”) with minimum volume requirements that are subject to a certain breakage fee if such commitment is not met, the Company has concluded that LTAs’ terms and conditions generally constitute enforceable rights and obligations for revenue recognition purposes, unless the underlying facts and circumstances vary and indicate otherwise. Typically, goods and services provided under the Company’s contracts are accounted for as a single performance obligation. However, in some contracts, the Company provides multiple distinct goods or services to a customer. In those cases, the Company accounts for the distinct contract deliverables as separate performance obligations at the stated contract value, which appropriately represents the individual performance obligation’s estimated standalone selling price. The Company estimates for the breakage fee arising from not meeting the minimum purchase requirements under certain LTAs with customers as variable consideration and includes such fee in the contract transaction price if not constrained, and accordingly, recognizes as revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations for wafers over the expected term of the agreement. Given the volumes under these arrangements are usually not guaranteed and subject to subsequent negotiations or changes, breakage fees that are constrained are not included in the contract transaction price for revenue recognition purposes. The Company estimates the variable consideration related to volume rebates and yield adjustments for certain contracts that may be refundable to customers through the issuance of a credit note, and accordingly, recognizes revenue in accordance with the pattern applicable to the performance obligation, subject to a constraint. The Company determines the amounts to be recognized based on the amount of potential refund required by the contract, historical experience and other surrounding facts and circumstances. These potential revenue adjustments are accrued and netted against accounts receivable on the consolidated statements of financial position. Our contracts may be subsequently modified to reflect changes in scope or customer requirements. Generally, our contract modifications are for goods or services that are distinct from the existing contract and are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively. If contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract, they are accounted for as if they are part of the original contract with the effect of the contract modification recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. A contract asset (“unbilled accounts receivables”) is recognized when the Company has recognized revenue, but not issued an invoice for payment. The Company has determined that unbilled accounts receivables are not considered a significant financing component of the Company’s contracts. Contract assets are included in receivables, prepayments and other assets on the consolidated statements of financial position and are transferred to trade receivables when invoiced (s ee Note 6). A contract liability is recognized when the Company receives payments in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations and are included as deferred revenue on the consolidated statements of financial position (see Note 11). This includes upfront non-refundable capacity access fees under certain LTAs with customers which are accounted for as additional wafer price considerations and recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations for wafers over the expected term of the agreements. Provisions —Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are mainly made up of site restoration obligations, as well as restructuring charges. The associated site restoration costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related long-lived assets. A provision for restructuring is recognized when the Company has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating losses are not provided for. The Company records site restoration obligations in the period in which they are incurred at their estimated fair value. Site restoration obligations consist of the present value of the estimated costs of dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities associated with facilities built on land held under long-term operating leases. The site restoration obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the related long-lived asset’s inception discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the site restoration obligations. After initial recognition, the liability is increased for the passage of time, with the increase being reflected as accretion expense in the line item “finance expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. The associated site restoration costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent adjustments in the discount rates, estimated amounts, timing and probability of the estimated future costs and changes resulting from the passage of time are recognized as an increase or decrease in the carrying amount of the liability and the related site restoration cost capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset on a prospective basis. If the decrease in the liability exceeds the remaining carrying amount of the related long-lived assets, the excess is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred Tax Assets— Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date . Earnings Per Share —Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased by the number of additional ordinary shares that would have been issued by the Company assuming exercise of all options with exercise prices below the average market price for the year. Share-based compensation —Share-based compensation expense related to share awards is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted. The grant date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employee is recognized as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards, The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflected the number of awards for which the service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual performance. Government Grants —Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will be in compliance with all attached conditions. When the grant relates to an expense item it is recognized as deferred income and released to the consolidated statements of operations over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate and is presented as a reduction of those costs. Where the grant relates to acquisition of assets, it is recognized as a reduction in the basis of the asset and released as a reduction to depreciation expense in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. Grants the Company received are primarily provided in connection with construction and operation of the Company’s manufacturing facilities, employment and research and development. Research and Development Costs —Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are recognized as intangible assets if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the assets. Borrowing Costs —Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction phase of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of assets which are constructed by the Company and for which a considerable period of time (at least six months) is planned for construction. Borrowing costs are capitalized from the start of construction until the date the asset is ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Current Income Tax —Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments Recent Accounting Pronouncement, Adopted: Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 1 Amendments - On 1 January 2020, the Company adopted the Phase 1 amendments arising from the Interbank Offered Rate (“IBOR”) reform amendments issued in September 2019, which provides temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to hedge relationships directly affected by IBOR reform, such that the effect is that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. Phase 2 Amendments - On 1 January 2021, the Company adopted the Phase 2 amendments arising from the IBOR reform issued in August 2020. The Phase 2 amendments address issues that arise from the implementation of the IBOR reform, including the replacement of an interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate. The key reliefs provided to the Company are as follows: • financial instruments measured at amortized cost are allowed to account for changes in the basis for determining contractual cash flows as a d |

Changes in estimates | Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses as well as the disclosure of commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. Determination of useful lives of property, plant and equipment —The Company periodically assesses the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment. As a result of a review completed in April 2023, the Company concluded the estimated maximum useful life of certain buildings should be increased from 26 years to 50 years . This change in estimate was applied prospectively, effective beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The impact of the change in estimated useful lives of certain buildings resulted in an increase to income before income taxes of $76 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Inventory Valuation —Inventory is based on a standard cost process with appropriate adjustments for purchasing and manufacturing variances, which approximates weighted average cost. The cost of raw materials is determined using applicable raw material purchase prices. The cost of supplies is determined based on a weighted-average cost formula. Work in process and finished goods are valued at the cost of direct materials and a proportion of manufacturing labor and overhead costs based on normal operating capacity. Inventory allowances are made on an item-by-item basis, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. An allowance is made for the estimated losses due to obsolescence based on expected future demand and market conditions. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Impairment Assessment of Non-Financial Assets —Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on a discounted cash flow analysis that a potential buyer would perform in determining a transaction value of the CGU less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. When preparing the discounted cash flow analysis, the Company makes judgments in determining the independent cash flows that can be related to a specific CGU based on its asset usage model and manufacturing capabilities in addition to the discount rate used in the analysis. In addition, because judgments are made regarding the remaining useful lives of assets and expected future revenue and expenses associated with the assets, changes in these estimates based on changes in economic conditions or business strategies could result in material impairment charges in future periods. Income Taxes and Realization of Deferred Tax Assets —In determining taxable income for financial statement reporting purposes, management makes certain estimates and judgments specific to taxation issues. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for income tax and financial statement reporting purposes. Deferred taxes are recognized for unused losses, among other factors, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. This evaluation requires the exercise of judgment with respect to, among other things, benefits that could be realized from available tax strategies and future taxable income, as well as other positive and negative factors. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon, among other things, the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income that is sufficient to utilize loss carry-forwards or tax credits before their expiration or the Company’s ability to implement prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If estimates of projected future taxable income and benefits from available tax strategies are reduced as a result of a change in the assessment or due to other factors, or if changes in current tax regulations are enacted that impose restrictions on the timing or extent of the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards in the future, the Company may be required to reduce the amount of total deferred tax assets resulting in a decrease of total assets. Likewise, a change in the tax rates applicable in the various jurisdictions or unfavorable outcomes of any ongoing tax audits could have a material impact on the future tax provisions in the periods in which these changes could occur. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax rules and the potential for future adjustment of uncertain tax positions by the tax authorities in the countries in which the Company operates. If estimates of these taxes are greater or less than actual results, an additional tax benefit or charge may result. Share-based compensation — Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) is determined based on the closing price of the ordinary stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options. The fair value of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Both models require management to make certain assumptions of future expectations based on historical and current data. The assumptions include the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock, expected term of the awards, expected volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The principles of modification accounting are applied when a new share-based payment is granted as a replacement for another share-based payment that is cancelled. When modification accounting is applied, the entity accounts for any incremental fair value in addition to the grant-date fair value of the original award. In the case of a replacement, the incremental fair value is the difference between the fair value of the replacement award and the net fair value of the cancelled award, both measured at the date on which the replacement award is issued. The net fair value is the fair value of the cancelled award measured immediately before the cancellation, less any payment made to the employees on cancellation. A package of modifications might include several changes to the terms of a grant, some of which are favorable to the employee and some not. In the event the net effect is not beneficial to the employee, cancellation accounting will be applied. Cancellations or settlements of equity-settled share-based payments during the vesting period by the Company are accounted for as accelerated vesting; therefore, the amount that would otherwise have been recognized for services received is recognized immediately. In September 2023, the people and compensation committee of GlobalFoundries approved a modification to the 2023 PSUs, to adjust the return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance threshold. The modification did not increase the fair value of the 2023 PSUs as the non-market performance condition was not considered when determining the fair value on the modification date. The Company will cumulatively adjust the expense based on the number of shares probable of vesting based on ROIC metrics and the grant date fair value. |

(2) Relates to the derecognition of asset retirement obligation related to the sale of the EFK business. The Company records a provision for site restoration costs as required by legal and contractual obligations if assessed to be probable that it will incur such costs. Because of the long-term nature of the liability, the greatest uncertainty in estimating the provision is the costs that will be incurred. The Company has estimated costs based on currently available information provided by experts about the extent of restoration work required. The provision has been calculated using a discount rate of 1.72% to 3.35% (2022: 1.58% to 4.04%), which is the risk-free rate in the jurisdiction of the liability. The site restoration costs are expected to be incurred on site abandonment for owned property and on lease expiration for leasehold land. The expected timing of incurring site restoration costs is consistent with the remaining useful lives of the underlying property, plant and equipment. See Note 21 for information regarding the Company’s restructuring initiative. |

Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company incurred share-based compensation expense of $148 million, $173 million, and $223 million during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the additional paid-in capital related to the share proceeds amounted to $46 million and $163 million, respectively. The Company incurred $21 million, $10 million and $5 million of payroll taxes associated with the share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 ,2022, and 2021 respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has 3,485,505 shares and 2,826,758 shares respectively, available for future grant under the 2018 Share Incentive Plan (as described below). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has 17,011,837 shares and 13,648,116 shares respectively, available for future grant under the 2021 Equity Compensation Plan. RSUs In 2023 and 2022, the Company granted RSUs under the 2021 Equity Compensation Plan. The RSUs have a time-based vesting requirement, which provides that the RSUs will generally vest in three annual installments, with 33.33% vesting on each one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date subject to the employee’s continued employment with the Company. Number of RSUs Weighted average grant date fair value Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 847,430 $ 39.59 Granted 3,416,545 $ 57.09 Forfeited (314,158) $ 55.36 Exercised (738,387) $ 49.51 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 3,211,430 $ 54.39 Granted 2,426,183 $ 62.94 Forfeited (390,769) $ 55.35 Exercised (1,093,061) $ 55.28 Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 4,153,783 $ 58.87 Prior to the IPO, the value of the RSUs was determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Because there had been no public market for the ordinary shares, the Board of Directors determined the fair value at the time of grant of the RSU by contemporaneous valuations performed by unrelated third-party valuation firms as well as a number of objective and subjective factors including valuation of comparable companies, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, among other factors. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, there was $107 million, $88 million, and $26 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding RSUs. PSUs In 2023 and 2022, the Company granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) under the 2021 Equity Compensation Plan to certain senior level employees. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive shares of the Company’s stock if the Company meets certain performance measures over the requisite performance period. The PSU awards entitle recipients to receive, upon vesting, a number of shares that ranges from 0% to 200% of the number of PSUs awarded, depending on the level of achievement of the specified performance conditions. The PSUs vest subject to achievement of a performance target based on an absolute ROIC and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) versus the SOX Index over a 3 year performance period subject to the grantee remaining employed by the Company through the end of the applicable performance period. Number of PSUs Weighted average grant date fair value Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 — — Granted 571,277 70.85 Forfeited (34,082) 70.91 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 537,195 $ 70.91 Granted 875,646 $ 69.73 Forfeited (220,422) $ 69.90 Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 1,192,419 $ 69.96 The Company uses the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the PSUs at the date of grant. The equity volatility was determined based on the historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies over a look back period of 2.84 years and 2.74 years in 2023 and 2022, respectively, commensurate with the remaining term of the PSUs. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury with a remaining term equivalent to the remaining performance measurement period. Dividends are not paid on the Company’s stock. The assumptions used to value the Company’s PSUs granted during the period presented and their expected lives were as follows: December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Expected dividend yield — — Expected volatility 50.93% 45.50% Risk-free interest rate 4.60% 2.55% Compensation expense is recognized for the PSU awards based on a graded attribution basis over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022 there was $22 million and $24 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the PSUs. Share Options In 2017, the Company approved the Share Incentive Plan, which was intended to attract and retain talented employees and align shareholder and employee interests. Share options under the Share Incentive Plan vested over a five-year period. In 2019, the Company offered to exchange the share options under the Share Incentive Plan with new share options under the “2018 Share Incentive Plan,” under which the Company may grant up to 25 million options to purchase shares in the Company with an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The options vest based on service over four The share options are effective for a term of 10 years from the grant date. Because the vesting and exercisability of these share options were dependent on a qualified liquidity event, the Company had to assess the probability of such an event in order to determine the expenses related to the share-based payments for the period. On June 30, 2021, the Company deemed an IPO to be probable under IFRS. Upon the tender offer, the Company measured the pre-modification value of the old share options and compared that to the fair value of the new share options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The equity volatility was determined based on the historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies over a period equal to the expected average share-based payments life. The risk-free rate of interest was interpolated from the U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury rate curve to reflect the remaining expected life of share options. The fair value of the ordinary shares underlying the stock options has historically been determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Because there had been no public market for the ordinary shares, the Board of Directors determined the fair value of the ordinary shares at the time of grant of the option by contemporaneous valuations performed by unrelated third-party valuation firms as well as a number of objective and subjective factors including valuation of comparable companies, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, among other factors. The Company did not grant any stock options in 2023 and 2022. The following table shows a summary of the share option’s activity for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Number of Share options Weighted average exercise price per Share Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 21,749,558 $ 10.03 Exercised (14,956,321) $ 10.00 Forfeited (532,634) $ 10.00 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 6,260,603 $ 10.02 Exercised (4,468,985) $ 10.02 Forfeited (151,579) $ 10.00 Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 1,640,039 $ 10.02 Exercisable balance as of December 31, 2023 1,485,670 $ 10.03 The following table summarizes information about employees’ share options outstanding as of December 31, 2023: Outstanding Range of exercise prices Number Outstanding Weighted average remaining contractual life (in years) $ 10.02 1,640,039 2.67 The weighted average remaining contractual life is calculated based on the 10-year contract terms of the options and the weighted average exercise price is calculated using the exercise price of the outstanding options, which pertain to the 2018 Share Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, there was $1 million, $7 million and $63 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options. ESPP In connection with, and prior to the consummation of the Company's initial public offering in 2021, the Company's board of directors adopted the GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP is administered by the Company's board of directors or, as applicable, its delegate (the “ESPP Administrator”). The ESPP provides eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase ordinary shares through payroll deduction of up to 10% of their eligible compensation. A participant may purchase a maximum of 2,500 ordinary shares during a purchase period. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are used to purchase ordinary shares at the end of each six-month purchase period. Participants in the ESPP receive a one-time grant of 50 RSUs upon enrollment in the ESPP. The Company matches 20% of each employee’s contributions on an after-tax basis. Subject to certain equitable adjustments in connection with certain events affecting the outstanding ordinary shares reserved for issuance as awards, the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued or transferred under the ESPP with respect to awards is 7,500,000 ordinary shares; provided that the share reserve under the ESPP will, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors, automatically increase on January 1 of each year for 8 years commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031 in an amount equal to 0.25% of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year. In no event will the number of ordinary shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to rights granted under the ESPP exceed 18,750,000, in the aggregate, subject to the adjustments described above. As of December 31, 2023, of the Company has issued 620,481 shares under this plan reflecting employees’ contribution and the 20% Company match. |

Terms and Conditions of Transactions with Related Parties Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured, interest free, repayable on demand and settlement occurs in cash. The Company has not recorded any allowance relating to amounts owed by related parties for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates. Transactions with Shareholder: Shareholder Loan Agreement—The Company, as a borrower, entered into loan facilities with its shareholder in 2012 to 2016 (collectively the “Shareholder Loans”). The Shareholder Loans were non-interest bearing and principal repayment, in whole or in part, was entirely at the Company’s discretion as explicitly stated in the loan agreement. The Shareholder Loans were subordinated to any claims of other unsubordinated and subordinated creditors, including beneficiaries under guarantees issued, of the Company. The loans had no maturity date and remained outstanding until the loans were paid in full. Further, there were no contingent settlements in the agreements. Since the Shareholder Loans did not contain any contractual obligations to deliver cash, but rather allowed the Company to make repayment at its absolute discretion and further prohibited the shareholder from demanding repayment, the Company treated the Shareholder Loans as equity. The Company repaid $568 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. On October 1, 2021, the Company’s board approved the conversion of the Shareholder Loans to additional paid-in-capital, and on October 3, 2021, the Company executed an agreement with Mubadala Investment Company PJSC (“Mubadala”) to convert the remaining $10.1 billion of the Shareholder Loan balance into additional paid-in-capital (the ”Conversion”). The Conversion did not have an impact on shares outstanding or have any dilutive effects, as no additional shares were issued. Compensation of Key Management Personnel The compensation of key management personnel during the following years were as follows: (in millions) 2023 2022 2021 Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Business Officer, Chief Operating Officer Short-term benefits (1) $ 9 $ 5 $ 8 Share-based payments (1) 21 19 42 Board of Directors 3 5 3 Total $ 33 $ 29 $ 53 (1) For the year ended December 31, 2023, the amounts include short-term benefits and share-based payments for the Chief Business Officer and Chief Operating Officer. |

Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies | Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies GLOBALFOUNDRIES has implemented a cash investment policy which determines the overall objectives of the Company’s investment strategy. This policy is aimed to ensure the preservation of capital and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity necessary to fund operations while balancing the needs for appropriate returns. The cash investment policy limits permissible investments and credit quality. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a healthy capital ratio in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions. There are no regulatorily-imposed requirements on the level of share capital which the Company is required to maintain. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company’s policy is to keep the gearing ratio within a range to meet the business needs of the Company. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings and obligations under lease less bank balances, cash and marketable securities. Capital includes total equity including non-controlling interests less cumulative changes in fair value. The Company’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings have certain financial covenants. Restrictive covenants in the Company’s credit facilities may prevent the Company from pursuing certain transactions or business strategies, including by limiting the Company’s ability to, in certain circumstances: • incur additional indebtedness; • pay dividends or make distributions; • acquire assets or make investments outside of the ordinary course of business; • sell, lease, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; • enter into transactions with the affiliates; • create or permit liens; • guarantee indebtedness; and • engage in certain extraordinary transactions. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants. Risks Arising from Financial Instruments —The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized below. Market Risk —Market price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise the following types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. Commodity Risk — Although the Company operates facilities that consume commodities, the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk is not material. The Company has established forecasted transaction risk management programs to protect against fluctuations in commodity prices and may use commodity derivatives contracts, such as commodity swaps, in these hedging programs. In addition, the Company has sourcing plans in place that are designed to mitigate the risk of a potential supplier concentration for its key commodities. Interest Rate Risk —The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to interest-earning financial assets and interest-bearing financial liabilities. The Company’s interest-earning financial assets are mostly highly liquid investments and include money market funds, marketable securities and time deposits. As these financial assets have weighted-average maturity of less than one year, the Company’s exposure to interest risk is not material. The Company’s interest-bearing financial liabilities include fixed and floating rate loans and lease obligations. Floating rate loans bear interest at Base Rate or SOFR or EURIBOR plus a fixed premium. The Company uses pay-fixed / receive-float interest rate swaps to protect itself against adverse fluctuations in interest rates and to reduce its exposure to variability in cash flows from forecasted interest payments on its floating-rate debt facility to the extent that it is practicable and cost effective to do so. Cash Flow Sensitivity Analysis for Variable Rate Instruments — The sensitivity of net income in the consolidated statements of operations is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the Company’s net income for one year, based on the floating rate financial liabilities held on December 31, 2023, after taking into account interest rate hedges. A hypothetical change in benchmark interest rates of 10% from current rates would not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, after taking into account interest rate hedges. Foreign Currency Risk — As a result of foreign operations, the Company has non-US-dollar denominated costs, assets and liabilities, primarily denominated in the EUR, JPY and SGD. Movements in foreign exchange rates could cause foreign currency denominated expenses to increase as a percentage of net revenue, affecting the Company’s profitability and cash flows. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from its foreign currency denominated expenditures. The Company may also economically hedge foreign currency risk related to its non-US-dollar denominated assets and liabilities with currency forward contracts. The Company also incurs a certain portion of its interest expense in EUR and SGD, exposing the Company to exchange rate fluctuations between US dollar and the EUR or SGD. The Company uses cross-currency swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to variability from foreign exchange rates impacting cash flows arising from Company’s foreign currency denominated debt to the extent that it is practicable and cost effective to do so. Exposure to Currency Risk — The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk against financial assets and financial liabilities was as follows, based on notional amounts: (in millions) EUR JPY SGD December 31, 2022 Receivables and prepayments $ 120 $ — $ 16 Cash and cash equivalents 48 4 420 Loans and borrowings 45 — — Trade and other payables (388) (73) (149) $ (175) $ (69) $ 287 December 31, 2023 Receivables and prepayments $ 86 $ — $ 28 Cash and cash equivalents $ 104 $ 5 $ 19 Loans and borrowings $ 11 $ — $ — Trade and other payables $ (253) $ (97) $ (121) $ (52) $ (92) $ (74) A hypothetical 10% change in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies would not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, after taking into account foreign currency hedges Credit Risk —Credit risk can be defined as the risk of suffering financial loss from financial instruments due to the failure by a counterparty to fulfill an obligation. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include investments and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivatives. The Company generally places investments with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one counterparty based on an analysis of that counterparty's relative credit standing. As required per the investment policy, substantially all of the Company’s investments in debt instruments are in investment-grade instruments. Counterparty credit-rating criteria for derivatives are similar to those for other investments. The Company generally does not require collateral to secure accounts receivable. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by credit evaluations the Company performs on its customers, the short duration of payment terms for the significant majority of its customer contracts and by the diverse nature of the Company’s customer base. The expected credit losses of trade and other receivables are not significant. The Company’s ten largest customers account for approximat ely 79% and 74% of the outstanding trade receivables balance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company considers the concentration of credit risk for the remaining accounts receivable not material. Exposure to Credit Risk— The carrying amount of financial assets represents the assets’ maximum credit exposure. The aging of financial assets including trade receivables is as follows: Past Due but Not Impaired (in millions) Total Neither past < 30 Days 31-90 Days 91-120 Days Great December 31, 2022 $ 2,254 $ 2,137 $ 84 $ 33 $ — $ — December 31, 2023 $ 2,785 $ 2,651 $ 127 $ 7 $ — $ — Liquidity Risk — The Company monitors its risk of a shortage of funds by monitoring its cash flow situation. Ongoing cash forecasting and review processes have been set up to determine the amount of internal and external funding needed in order to meet the Company’s financial obligations as they become due. The Company has set up a process of mid- and long-term financial planning. The Company’s financing structure, including maturities of debt, is determined in response to the financing requirements identified with the long-term business planning process. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities: (in millions) Carrying Contractual Cash Flows 1 Year or Less 1 to 5 Years Greater than 5 Years December 31, 2022 Loans and borrowings $ 2,511 $ 2,706 $ 229 $ 1,443 $ 1,034 Lease obligations 345 427 92 184 151 Derivative liabilities 66 66 61 5 — Trade payables and other liabilities 2,265 2,265 2,171 63 31 Total $ 5,187 $ 5,464 $ 2,553 $ 1,695 $ 1,216 December 31, 2023 Loans and borrowings $ 2,372 $ 2,558 $ 575 $ 971 $ 1,012 Lease obligations 382 521 44 194 283 Derivative liabilities 56 56 42 14 — Trade payables and other liabilities 1,438 1,438 1,354 55 29 Total $ 4,248 $ 4,573 $ 2,015 $ 1,234 $ 1,324 In preparing the maturity profile, undiscounted interest payments are calculated based on contractual interest rates where these are fixed, or, in the case of discounted liabilities for leases, based on the interest rate implicit in the financing arrangement. For variable interest arrangements undiscounted payments are determined based on the interest rate prevailing at the reporting date. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value —The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1— observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2— inputs other than quoted prices in active markets in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities 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; and Level 3— unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring management judgment to develop the Company’s own models with estimates and assumptions. Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents include investments in government obligation-based money market funds, other money market instruments and interest-bearing deposits with initial or remaining terms of three months or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates its carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Marketable Securities - Marketable securities utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs include U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, floating rate securities, money market mutual funds, corporate debt instruments and other Notes, bonds or debt securities issued by non-U.S. sovereign or multilateral entities, as these securities all have quoted prices in active markets. For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Foreign currency forward contracts are classified within Level 2. The fair values of foreign currency forward contracts are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs, including interest rates, prices and maturity dates to generate pricing curves, which are used to value the positions. The market inputs are generally actively quoted and can be validated through external sources. For foreign currency forward contract asset and liability positions with maturity dates which fall between the dates of quoted prices, interpolation of rate or maturity scenarios are used in determining fair values. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Measurement at Reporting Date Using (in millions) Total Quoted Significant Significant December 31, 2022 Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 961 $ 961 $ — $ — Investments in equity instruments (2) $ 15 $ — $ — $ 15 Investment in marketable securities (3) $ 994 $ 994 $ — $ — Derivatives (3) $ 177 $ — $ 177 $ — Liabilities: Derivatives (3) $ 66 $ — $ 66 $ — Fair Value Measurement at Reporting Date Using (in millions) Total Quoted Significant Significant December 31, 2023 Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 1,897 $ 1,626 $ 271 $ — Investments in equity instruments (2) $ 19 $ — $ — $ 19 Investments in marketable securities (3) $ 1,501 $ 1,189 $ 312 $ — Derivatives (4) $ 132 $ — $ 132 $ — Liabilities: Derivatives (4) $ 56 $ — $ 56 $ — (1) Included in cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.

(4) Consists of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and commodity swaps. Included in other current and non-current financial assets and liabilities, as applicable, on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Certain assets such as equity method investments, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, and other non-financial assets, are recorded at fair value only if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period. Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include non-marketable equity securities (that have not been re-measured or impaired in the current period), grants receivable, loans receivable, lease obligations and the current and non-current portions of the Company’s long-term debt. The following table shows the carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial liabilities at amortized cost (“FLAC”) not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Accounting Policies, Changes In Accounting Estimates And Errors [Abstract] | |
Basis of Measurement | These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise described in the notes below. |
Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of GLOBALFOUNDRIES and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which GLOBALFOUNDRIES obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities included in these consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 29. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. Specifically, the Company controls a subsidiary if the Company (a) has power over the subsidiary, (b) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with subsidiary, and (c) has the ability to use the power to affect its returns. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) are attributed to the Shareholder of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation —Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and revenue and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign operations are included in OCI. In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company, foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using the closing rate at the applicable consolidated statement of financial position dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value, are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined and non-monetary assets measured at historical cost are translated at the historical rate. Revenue and expenses are measured in the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions with gains or losses included in the statements of operations. |
Investments in Joint Operations | Investments in Joint Operations |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents —Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid time deposits and investments that are readily convertible into cash, which are not subjected to significant risk of changes in value, and have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. |
Trade Accounts Receivable | Trade Accounts Receivable— Trade accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value. A provision for impairment of trade accounts receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivable. |
Inventories | Inventories —Inventories are stated at standard cost adjusted to the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company measures the cost of its inventory based on a standard cost process with appropriate adjustments for purchasing and manufacturing variances, which approximates weighted average cost. Inventory allowances are made on an item-by-item basis, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. An allowance is made for the estimated losses due to obsolescence based on expected future demand and market conditions. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments: Category of financial instruments and measurement Recognition and Initial Measurement —Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at fair value in the profit and loss (“FVPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price. Classification and Measurement —All recognized financial assets are measured based on amortized cost or fair value. The classification is based on two criteria, the Company’s business model for managing the assets and whether the instrument’s contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments are solely comprised of principal and interest is made based on the facts and circumstances at the initial recognition of assets. Financial assets include trade and other receivables. These are recorded at amortized cost when such financial assets are held with the objective to collect contract cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. Financial assets recorded at FVPL comprise unquoted equity instruments which the Company had not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition, to classify at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). Financial assets recorded at FVOCI comprise marketable securities that are quoted debt instruments when such financial assets are held with the objectives of both collecting contractual cash flows and selling these financial assets, and meet the SPPI criterion. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses and interest income which are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Derecognition of financial assets The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another entity. On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in OCI is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Impairment of financial assets The Company will record an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) for all loans to related parties, marketable securities (that are quoted debt instruments), contract assets, and trade receivables and other receivables not recorded at FVPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted using the asset’s effective interest rate. The Company estimated its ECL for its contract assets and trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime credit losses, while marketable securities and other receivables are measured at 12-months ECL if they are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. Offsetting of Financial Instruments —Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is an enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting —Through its operating, investing and financing activities in the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to various types of market risk including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and risks associated with changes in the market price of certain commodities. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and commodity swaps to mitigate a portion of the risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company’s objective for holding derivatives include reducing, eliminating and efficiently managing the economic impact of these exposures as effectively as possible. The Company’s derivative programs include strategies that both qualify and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. However, the Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge a portion of certain foreign currency-denominated forecasted operating expenditures, primarily in Euro (“EUR”), Japanese Yen (“JPY”) and Singapore Dollar (“SGD”). The Company also hedges future cash flows for certain foreign currency-denominated forecasted capital expenditures, primarily in EUR and JPY. Certain foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are also used to manage the variability in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet amounts and to manage other foreign currency exposures. The Company uses interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps to protect itself against adverse fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and to reduce its exposure to variability in forecasted cash flows associated with the Company’s floating-rate and foreign currency-denominated debt. The Company also uses commodity swaps to hedge forecasted electricity and natural gas purchases to minimize the impact of commodity price movements on the reported earnings of the Company and on future cash flows related to fluctuations of the contractually specified, separately identifiable and reliably measurable commodity risk component. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge, and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether there continues to be an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instruments. The Company designates these derivative instruments in cash flow hedges of forecasted operating and capital expenditures or floating-rate and foreign currency-denominated debt, as applicable, and evaluates hedge effectiveness prospectively. The effective portion of the gain or loss on these contracts is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations in the same line item and in the same period during which the associated hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. For hedges of capital expenditures, the amount in OCI is incorporated into the initial carrying amounts of the non-financial assets and depreciated over the average useful life of the associated assets. Any ineffective portion of hedges or changes in fair value from excluded components of the hedge are immediately recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in OCI is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Property, Plant, and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment —Construction in progress and property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Major additions and improvements are capitalized as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item and the cost of the item can be measured reliably; minor replacements and repairs are charged to the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also capitalizes interest on borrowings related to eligible capital expenditures. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of qualified assets and depreciated together with that asset cost. The Company also records capital-related government grants as a reduction to property, plant and equipment. Commencement of depreciation related to construction in progress and property, plant and equipment involves determining when the assets are available for their intended use. The Company considers various factors which include functionality, engineering specifications, nature and usage of assets among others, in assessing the conditions necessary for the assets to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. The Company also factors in the length of time it takes for the assets to reach the tooling qualification criteria from the initial point of when the assets are received. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Building and leasehold/land improvements Up to 50 years (or the remaining lease term of related land on which the buildings are erected, if shorter) Equipment 2 to 10 years Computers 5 years |
Leases | Leases —The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use assets —Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are reported within property, plant and equipment, and are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. Lease liabilities —At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying assets. The Company’s lease liabilities are separately reported in the consolidated statements of financial position under non-current portion of lease obligations and current portion of lease obligations. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets —The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases that have a lease term not exceeding 12 months, or for leases of low-value assets. The payment for such leases is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets —Technology, patent, software licenses and similar rights acquired separately are stated at cost less accumulated amortization or are adjusted to fair value when impaired. Intangible assets acquired through business combinations which include customer relationships and manufacturing and process technology, are recorded at estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the respective intangible asset are consumed, which is, in general, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of between 3 and 10 years . The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets —The Company reviews, at each reporting date, the carrying amount of the Company’s property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to dispose and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The Company also evaluates, and adjusts, if appropriate, the asset’s useful lives, at each reporting date or when impairment indicators exist. In assessing value in use, the estimated future post-tax cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations to the extent the recoverable amount, measured at the present value of discounted cash flows attributable to the assets, is less than their carrying value. If the recoverable amount subsequently increases, the impairment loss previously recognized will be reversed to the extent of the increase in the recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. The impairment loss reversal is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition —The Company generates revenue primarily from fabricating semiconductor wafers for its customers using the manufacturing processes based on their own or third parties’ proprietary integrated circuit designs and, to a lesser extent, the Company also generates revenue from engineering and other pre-fabrication services such as non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services, which include design services and mask production. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. The performance obligations are satisfied at the point at which control of the wafers is transferred to the customer, which is determined to be at the point of wafer shipment from the Company’s facilities or delivery to the customer location. NRE services are recognized over time as the Company performs the services based on a percentage of costs incurred over total expected costs. The Company generally requires a purchase order from all of its customers, to which the Company responds with an order acknowledgement and a copy of the Company’s standard terms and conditions. The Company also enters into master supply agreements (“MSA”) with certain of its customers that may specify additional terms and conditions, such as pricing formulas based on volume, volume discounts, calculation of yield adjustments, indemnifications, transfer of title and risk of loss, and payment terms. The Company also requires a purchase order from its customers with which it has MSAs for specific products and quantities. As a result, the Company has concluded that the combination of a purchase order and order acknowledgement, including the Company’s standard terms and conditions, and the MSA, if applicable, create enforceable rights and obligations between the Company and its customers. For certain customers under long-term supply agreements (“LTAs”) with minimum volume requirements that are subject to a certain breakage fee if such commitment is not met, the Company has concluded that LTAs’ terms and conditions generally constitute enforceable rights and obligations for revenue recognition purposes, unless the underlying facts and circumstances vary and indicate otherwise. Typically, goods and services provided under the Company’s contracts are accounted for as a single performance obligation. However, in some contracts, the Company provides multiple distinct goods or services to a customer. In those cases, the Company accounts for the distinct contract deliverables as separate performance obligations at the stated contract value, which appropriately represents the individual performance obligation’s estimated standalone selling price. The Company estimates for the breakage fee arising from not meeting the minimum purchase requirements under certain LTAs with customers as variable consideration and includes such fee in the contract transaction price if not constrained, and accordingly, recognizes as revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations for wafers over the expected term of the agreement. Given the volumes under these arrangements are usually not guaranteed and subject to subsequent negotiations or changes, breakage fees that are constrained are not included in the contract transaction price for revenue recognition purposes. The Company estimates the variable consideration related to volume rebates and yield adjustments for certain contracts that may be refundable to customers through the issuance of a credit note, and accordingly, recognizes revenue in accordance with the pattern applicable to the performance obligation, subject to a constraint. The Company determines the amounts to be recognized based on the amount of potential refund required by the contract, historical experience and other surrounding facts and circumstances. These potential revenue adjustments are accrued and netted against accounts receivable on the consolidated statements of financial position. Our contracts may be subsequently modified to reflect changes in scope or customer requirements. Generally, our contract modifications are for goods or services that are distinct from the existing contract and are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively. If contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract, they are accounted for as if they are part of the original contract with the effect of the contract modification recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. A contract asset (“unbilled accounts receivables”) is recognized when the Company has recognized revenue, but not issued an invoice for payment. The Company has determined that unbilled accounts receivables are not considered a significant financing component of the Company’s contracts. Contract assets are included in receivables, prepayments and other assets on the consolidated statements of financial position and are transferred to trade receivables when invoiced (s ee Note 6). A contract liability is recognized when the Company receives payments in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations and are included as deferred revenue on the consolidated statements of financial position (see Note 11). This includes upfront non-refundable capacity access fees under certain LTAs with customers which are accounted for as additional wafer price considerations and recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations for wafers over the expected term of the agreements. |
Provisions | Provisions —Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are mainly made up of site restoration obligations, as well as restructuring charges. The associated site restoration costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related long-lived assets. A provision for restructuring is recognized when the Company has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating losses are not provided for. The Company records site restoration obligations in the period in which they are incurred at their estimated fair value. Site restoration obligations consist of the present value of the estimated costs of dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities associated with facilities built on land held under long-term operating leases. The site restoration obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the related long-lived asset’s inception discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the site restoration obligations. After initial recognition, the liability is increased for the passage of time, with the increase being reflected as accretion expense in the line item “finance expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. The associated site restoration costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent adjustments in the discount rates, estimated amounts, timing and probability of the estimated future costs and changes resulting from the passage of time are recognized as an increase or decrease in the carrying amount of the liability and the related site restoration cost capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset on a prospective basis. If the decrease in the liability exceeds the remaining carrying amount of the related long-lived assets, the excess is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Deferred Tax Assets | Deferred Tax Assets— Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date . |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share —Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is increased by the number of additional ordinary shares that would have been issued by the Company assuming exercise of all options with exercise prices below the average market price for the year. |
Share-based compensation | Share-based compensation —Share-based compensation expense related to share awards is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted. The grant date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employee is recognized as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards, The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflected the number of awards for which the service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual performance. Share-based compensation — Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) is determined based on the closing price of the ordinary stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options. The fair value of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Both models require management to make certain assumptions of future expectations based on historical and current data. The assumptions include the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock, expected term of the awards, expected volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The principles of modification accounting are applied when a new share-based payment is granted as a replacement for another share-based payment that is cancelled. When modification accounting is applied, the entity accounts for any incremental fair value in addition to the grant-date fair value of the original award. In the case of a replacement, the incremental fair value is the difference between the fair value of the replacement award and the net fair value of the cancelled award, both measured at the date on which the replacement award is issued. The net fair value is the fair value of the cancelled award measured immediately before the cancellation, less any payment made to the employees on cancellation. A package of modifications might include several changes to the terms of a grant, some of which are favorable to the employee and some not. In the event the net effect is not beneficial to the employee, cancellation accounting will be applied. Cancellations or settlements of equity-settled share-based payments during the vesting period by the Company are accounted for as accelerated vesting; therefore, the amount that would otherwise have been recognized for services received is recognized immediately. In September 2023, the people and compensation committee of GlobalFoundries approved a modification to the 2023 PSUs, to adjust the return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance threshold. The modification did not increase the fair value of the 2023 PSUs as the non-market performance condition was not considered when determining the fair value on the modification date. The Company will cumulatively adjust the expense based on the number of shares probable of vesting based on ROIC metrics and the grant date fair value. |
Government Grants | Government Grants —Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will be in compliance with all attached conditions. When the grant relates to an expense item it is recognized as deferred income and released to the consolidated statements of operations over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate and is presented as a reduction of those costs. Where the grant relates to acquisition of assets, it is recognized as a reduction in the basis of the asset and released as a reduction to depreciation expense in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. Grants the Company received are primarily provided in connection with construction and operation of the Company’s manufacturing facilities, employment and research and development. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs —Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are recognized as intangible assets if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the assets. |
Borrowing Costs | Borrowing Costs —Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction phase of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of assets which are constructed by the Company and for which a considerable period of time (at least six months) is planned for construction. Borrowing costs are capitalized from the start of construction until the date the asset is ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. |
Current Income Tax | Current Income Tax —Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Income Taxes and Realization of Deferred Tax Assets —In determining taxable income for financial statement reporting purposes, management makes certain estimates and judgments specific to taxation issues. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for income tax and financial statement reporting purposes. Deferred taxes are recognized for unused losses, among other factors, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. This evaluation requires the exercise of judgment with respect to, among other things, benefits that could be realized from available tax strategies and future taxable income, as well as other positive and negative factors. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon, among other things, the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income that is sufficient to utilize loss carry-forwards or tax credits before their expiration or the Company’s ability to implement prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If estimates of projected future taxable income and benefits from available tax strategies are reduced as a result of a change in the assessment or due to other factors, or if changes in current tax regulations are enacted that impose restrictions on the timing or extent of the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards in the future, the Company may be required to reduce the amount of total deferred tax assets resulting in a decrease of total assets. Likewise, a change in the tax rates applicable in the various jurisdictions or unfavorable outcomes of any ongoing tax audits could have a material impact on the future tax provisions in the periods in which these changes could occur. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax rules and the potential for future adjustment of uncertain tax positions by the tax authorities in the countries in which the Company operates. If estimates of these taxes are greater or less than actual results, an additional tax benefit or charge may result. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments | Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments Recent Accounting Pronouncement, Adopted: Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 1 Amendments - On 1 January 2020, the Company adopted the Phase 1 amendments arising from the Interbank Offered Rate (“IBOR”) reform amendments issued in September 2019, which provides temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to hedge relationships directly affected by IBOR reform, such that the effect is that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. Phase 2 Amendments - On 1 January 2021, the Company adopted the Phase 2 amendments arising from the IBOR reform issued in August 2020. The Phase 2 amendments address issues that arise from the implementation of the IBOR reform, including the replacement of an interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate. The key reliefs provided to the Company are as follows: • financial instruments measured at amortized cost are allowed to account for changes in the basis for determining contractual cash flows as a direct consequence of the IBOR reform by updating the effective interest rate, provided that the new basis is economically equivalent to the previous basis, such that there is no immediate gain or loss recognized; and • most IFRS 9 hedge relationships that are directly affected by the IBOR reform are allowed to continue. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had completed the transition of the affected rates on borrowings from USD London Interbank Offered Rate to Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and assessed the changes to be economically equivalent in accordance with IFRS 9. Any future impact has been deemed to be immaterial to the Company. Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Adopted: The Company has not adopted the following new, revised or amended IFRS standards that have been issued by the IASB but are not yet effective: • Non-current Liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to IAS 1 - Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2024; • Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback - Amendments to IFRS 16 - Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2024; • Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7-Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2024 • General Requirement for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information - IFRS S1 -Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024; and • Climate Related Disclosures - IFRS S2 - Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 As of the date the accompanying financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company continues to evaluate the impact on its financial position and performance as a result of the initial adoption of the aforementioned standards or interpretations and related applicable period. The Company does not anticipate the impacts of the standards effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2024 will have a material impact on the financial statements. New Legislation: In August 2022, the CHIPS and Science Act was signed into U.S. law. Designed to boost investment in domestic high tech-research and development and catalyze investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity the CHIPS and Science Act provides a 25% refundable advanced manufacturing investment tax credit (“AMITC”) on certain investment and other financial incentives to promote investments in domestic semiconductor manufacturing beginning in 2023. The Company has analyzed the provisions of the new law and determined that certain capital expenditures will qualify under the law and provide a refundable tax credit to the Company on its 2023 tax return. In August 2022, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") was signed into law. The IRA establishes a new corporate alternative minimum tax ("CAMT") of 15% for corporations with an average global adjusted financial statement income in excess of $1 billion over a consecutive three year period, as well as a 1% excise tax on qualifying stock repurchases. The CAMT is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company has estimated no tax liability relating to CAMT for the current fiscal year. It is possible that the CAMT could result in an additional tax liability in a particular year due to offsetting the U.S. tax liability with prior year losses. The Company continues to evaluate the impact the IRA may have on its operations and consolidated financial statements in future periods. Legislation and administrative guidance continue to evolve under the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's ("OECD") international tax reform centering on a global minimum tax regime ("Pillar 2") effective beginning in fiscal year 2024. The Pillar 2 regime seeks to collect additional top-up taxes from multinational groups whose effective tax rates are lower than 15% at a jurisdictional level. The initiative will also trigger additional compliance obligations, such as the requirement to file an annual GloBE Information Return within 15 months of the end of the fiscal year. Pillar 2 is being accounted for under the scope of IAS 12 Income Taxes , which includes an amendment in May 2023 granting temporary relief from accounting for deferred taxes arising from jurisdictions implementing Pillar 2 minimum taxes. Under the amendment, the Company is applying the exception of neither recognizing nor disclosing deferred tax adjustments related to Pillar 2 income taxes. The effective tax rate is computed at a jurisdictional level with reference to GloBE income for all constituent entities of the multinational group in that jurisdiction. Singapore announced in its 2024 budget that it will enact a domestic top-up tax and income inclusion rule (“IIR”) effective in 2025. The Company and its subsidiaries are considered constituent entities forming part of the multinational group led by Mubadala Diversified Global Holding, PJSC. Eligibility to safe harbor and Pillar 2 top-up taxes payable as well as Pillar 2 filing and reporting requirements by the Company are partially dependent upon and influenced by GloBE income calculations of Mubadala subsidiaries having operations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom, Japan, Korea and Malaysia which have enacted Pillar 2 rules in 2023, Singapore announced in its 2024 budget that it will enact domestic top-up tax and income inclusion rule effective in 2025. The Dutch IIR regime may apply to GloBE income from the United States and Germany entities in the Company’s structure but the Company continues to analyze whether a Pillar 2 income tax expense and cash tax detriment are expected to arise from the Netherlands or any other material jurisdictions in 2024. Similarly, the recently announced Singapore rules may cause an additional liability beginning in 2025. Several jurisdictions are yet to finalize their Pillar 2 implementation timeline, including the United States, India, Cayman Islands and the United Arab Emirates. The Cayman Islands and Bulgaria are jurisdictions in which the Company operates with statutory tax rates below 15% and the Company’s Singapore operations include incentive tax rates below 15% which may be more likely to result in a tax liability under Pillar 2 if transitional safe harbor rules do not apply. The Company is tracking legislative updates from these and other jurisdictions to determine if any Pillar 2 taxes may be payable in fiscal 2024. |
