ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 5, 2007
(all tabular amounts in thousands except per share amounts and percentages)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to fairly state
the results for these interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2006 and related notes. The results of
operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 3, 2007 or any future period.
The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday closest to the last day in
October. Fiscal 2007 is a 53-week fiscal year and fiscal 2006 was a 52-week fiscal year. The
additional week in fiscal 2007 was included in the first quarter ended February 3, 2007.
Therefore, the first six months of fiscal 2007 included an additional week of operations as
compared to the first six months of fiscal 2006.
Note 2 Stock-Based Compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95,
Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described
in SFAS 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement over their vesting period based on their fair values at the date of grant. Pro forma
disclosure is no longer an alternative.
On October 30, 2005 (the first day of its 2006 fiscal year), the Company adopted SFAS 123R using
the modified prospective method as permitted under SFAS 123R. Under this transition method,
compensation cost recognized in fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 includes: (a) compensation cost for all
share-based payments granted prior to but not yet vested as of October 29, 2005, based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation
cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to October 29, 2005, based on the grant-date
fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the
modified prospective method of adoption, the Companys results of operations and financial position
for prior periods have not been restated.
Grant-Date Fair Value
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of
an award. Information pertaining to the Companys stock option awards and the related estimated
weighted-average assumptions to calculate the fair value of stock options granted during the three-
and six-month periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006 are as follows:

Expected volatility The Company is responsible for estimating volatility and has considered a
number of factors, including third-party estimates, when estimating volatility. For options
granted prior to fiscal 2005, the Company used historical volatility to estimate the grant-date
fair value of stock options. The Company changed its method of estimating expected volatility for
all stock options granted after fiscal 2004 from exclusively relying on historical volatility to
exclusively relying on implied volatility. This change was the result of a thorough review the
Company undertook, which included consultations with several third-party advisors. The Company
currently believes that the exclusive use of implied volatility results in a more accurate estimate
of the grant-date fair value of employee stock options because it more appropriately reflects the
markets current expectations of future volatility. Historical volatility during the period
commensurate with the expected term of the Companys stock options over the past several years
included a period of time when the Companys stock price experienced unprecedented increases and
subsequent declines. The Company believes that this past stock price volatility is unlikely to be
indicative of future stock price behavior. Options in the Companys common stock are actively
traded on several exchanges. Implied volatility is calculated for the period that is commensurate
with the options expected term assumption. Because this term often exceeds the period for which
there are exchange-traded options in the Companys common stock, statistical techniques are used to
derive the implied volatility for traded options with terms commensurate with the options expected
term of 5.1 years. This calculation of implied volatility is derived from the closing prices of
both the Companys common stock and exchange traded options from the most recent five trading days
prior to the grant date of the employee stock option.
Expected term The Company uses historical employee exercise and option expiration data to
estimate the expected term assumption for the Black-Scholes grant-date valuation. The Company
believes that this historical data is currently the best estimate of the expected term of a new
option, and that generally its employees exhibit similar exercise behavior.
Risk-free interest rate The yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is
commensurate with the expected term assumption is used as the risk-free interest rate.
Expected dividend yield Expected dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the cash dividend
declared by the Companys Board of Directors for the current quarter and dividing that result by
the closing stock price on the date of grant. Until such time as the Companys Board of Directors
declares a cash dividend for an amount that is different from the current quarters cash dividend,
the current dividend will be used in deriving this assumption. Cash dividends are not paid on
options, restricted stock or restricted stock units.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company used the graded attribution method to recognize expense for all stock-based awards
prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R on October 30, 2005, the Company
changed to the straight-line attribution method to recognize expense for stock-based awards granted
after October 29, 2005. The change to the straight-line attribution method was made so that the
expense associated with each stock-based award is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The
expense associated with the unvested portion of the pre-adoption grants will continue to be
expensed using the graded attribution method.
The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the
portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be
estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term forfeitures is distinct from cancellations
or expirations and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock-based award.
Based on an analysis of its historical forfeitures, the Company has applied an annual forfeiture
rate of 3.4% to all unvested stock-based awards as of May 5, 2007. The 3.4% represents the portion
that is expected to be forfeited each year over the vesting period. This analysis will be
re-evaluated quarterly and the forfeiture rate will be adjusted as necessary. Ultimately, the
actual expense recognized over the vesting period will only be for those awards that vest.
The Companys stock option agreements historically provided for retirement-related continued
vesting for a portion, or all, of certain stock options based on the optionees age and years of
service (the retirement provision) in that regardless of whether the employee continues to provide
services, the optionee would receive the benefit of the stock option. SFAS 123R clarifies the
timing for recognizing stock-based compensation expense for awards subject to continued vesting
upon meeting this retirement provision. This compensation expense must be recognized over the
period from the date of grant to the date
retirement eligibility is met if it is shorter than the required service period. Upon adoption of
SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company changed its policy regarding the timing
of option expense recognition for optionees meeting the criteria of the retirement provision to
recognize compensation cost over the period through the date that the optionee is no
8
longer
required to provide service to earn the award. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Companys
policy was to recognize these compensation costs over the vesting term. Had the Company applied
these non-substantive vesting provisions required by SFAS 123R to awards granted prior to the
adoption of SFAS 123R, the impact on the pro forma net earnings would have been immaterial.
Effective beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, new grants do not include a provision that
provides for retirement-related continued vesting.
The adoption of SFAS 123R had the following impact on the second quarter of fiscal 2007 results:
operating profit before tax was lower by $17.4 million, net income was lower by $12.4 million, cash
flow from operations was lower by $15.0 million, cash flow from financing activities was higher by
$15.0 million and basic and diluted EPS were each lower by $0.04. The adoption of SFAS 123R had
the following impact on results for the six-months ended May 5, 2007: operating profit before tax
was lower by $37.3 million, net income was lower by $26.5 million, cash flow from operations was
lower by $21.5 million, cash flow from financing activities was higher by $21.5 million and basic
and diluted EPS were each lower by $0.08.

Note 4 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential future
issuances of common stock relating to stock option programs and other potentially dilutive
securities using the treasury stock method. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive
effect of stock options is computed using the average market price for the respective period. In
addition, under SFAS 123R, the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the average
unrecognized compensation expense of stock options that are in-the-money. This results in the
assumed buyback of additional shares, thereby reducing the dilutive impact of stock options.
Potential shares related to certain of the Companys outstanding stock options were excluded
because they were anti-dilutive. Those potential shares, determined based on the weighted-average
exercise prices during the respective periods, related to the Companys outstanding stock options
could be dilutive in the future. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and
diluted earnings per share:

Closure of Wafer Fabrication Facility
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a special charge of $20.3 million as
a result of a decision to close its California wafer fabrication operations and transfer virtually
all of the production of products manufactured there to the Companys facility in Wilmington,
Massachusetts. The charge was for severance and fringe benefit costs that were recorded pursuant
to SFAS 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans
and for Termination Benefits (SFAS 88), under the Companys ongoing benefit plan for 339
manufacturing employees and 28 general and administrative employees at that site. The severance
benefit is calculated based on length of past service, and employees must continue to be employed
until they are involuntarily terminated in order to receive the severance benefit. The
Company completed the remaining cleanup and closure activities during the second quarter of fiscal
2007. As of May 5, 2007, the employment of all of the employees
included in this action had been
terminated by the Company.
In addition to the charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded
additional expense during fiscal 2006, which consisted of $18.3 million of non-cash cost of sales
expenses for additional depreciation due to shortened useful lives of certain manufacturing
equipment and $2.0 million for stay-on bonuses. The Company reversed approximately $2.0
13
million of its severance accrual during fiscal 2006 because some employees voluntarily left the
Company, other employees found alternative employment within the Company, and there was an over
accrual related to fringe benefits because severance payments, normally paid as income continuance,
were paid as lump sum payments which reduced the benefit costs associated with these payments.
The Company completed production at the wafer fabrication facility on November 9, 2006. During the
first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded additional expense, in accordance with SFAS 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which consisted of
$3.2 million for clean-up and closure costs that were charged to expense as incurred. The
additional $0.4 million of this charge was for lease obligation costs for a warehouse facility the
Company ceased using during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a special charge, in accordance with
SFAS 146, which consisted of $1.7 million for clean-up and closure costs that were charged to
expense as incurred. Also included in the special charge was $5.0 million of expense for future
lease obligation costs for the wafer fabrication facility that the Company ceased using during the
second quarter of fiscal 2007. The clean-up activity was completed during the second quarter of
fiscal 2007, and the Company does not expect to incur any additional expenses related to this
action.
Reorganization of Product Development and Support Programs
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a special charge of $11.2 million as
a result of its decision to reorganize its product development and support programs with the goal
of providing greater focus on its analog and digital signal processing product programs. The
charge was for severance and fringe benefit costs that were recorded pursuant to SFAS 88 under the
Companys ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 60 manufacturing
employees and 154 engineering and selling, marketing, general and administrative employees.
During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded an additional special charge of $3.8 million related to
this reorganization action. Approximately $1.5 million of this charge was for lease obligation
costs for a facility the Company ceased using during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and the
write-off of property, plant and equipment and other items at this subsidiary. The remaining $2.3
million related to severance and fringe benefit costs that were recorded in the fourth quarter
pursuant to SFAS 88 under the Companys ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign
locations for 46 engineering and selling, marketing, general and administrative employees.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded an additional special charge of $1.6
million related to this reorganization action. Approximately $0.6 million of this charge was for
contract termination costs. The remaining $1.0 million relates to severance and fringe benefit
costs that were recorded in the first quarter pursuant to SFAS 88 under the Companys ongoing
benefit plan for six engineering employees.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded an additional special charge of $3.4
million related to this reorganization action. Approximately $0.2 million of this charge was for
lease obligation costs for a facility the company ceased using during the second quarter of fiscal
2007. The remaining $3.2 million relates to the severance and fringe benefit costs that were
recorded in the second quarter pursuant to SFAS 88 under the Companys ongoing benefit plan or
minimum statutory requirements at foreign locations for 20 engineering and selling, marketing, general and
administrative employees.
As of May 5, 2007, 21 of the 286 employees included in this reorganization action were still
employed by the Company. These employees must continue to be employed until they are involuntarily
terminated in order to receive the severance benefit.
Note 6 Segment Information
The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment. The Company designs,
develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of integrated circuits. The Chief Executive
Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

Revenue Trends by End Market
The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a variety of data points including
the technical characteristics of the product, the sold to customer information, the ship to
customer information and the end customer product or application into which the Companys product
will be incorporated. As data systems for capturing and tracking this data evolve and improve, the
categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When this occurs the Company
reclassifies revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not
materially change the sizing, or the underlying trends of results within each end market.

Revenue Trends by Product
The following table summarizes revenue by product categories. The categorization of the Companys
products into broad categories is based on the characteristics of the individual products, the
specification of the products and in some cases the specific uses that certain products have within
applications. The categorization of products into categories is therefore subject to judgment in
some cases and can vary over time. In instances where products move between product categories the
Company reclassifies the amounts in the product categories for all prior periods. Such
reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing, or the underlying trends of
results within each product category.

Note 7 Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The Company annually evaluates goodwill for impairment as well as whenever events or changes in
circumstances suggest that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Because the
Company has one reporting segment under SFAS 142, the Company utilizes the entity-wide approach for
assessing goodwill for impairment and compares its market value to its net book value to determine
if an impairment exists. No impairment of goodwill resulted from the Companys most recent
evaluation of goodwill for impairment, which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. No
impairment of goodwill resulted in any of the fiscal years presented. The Companys next annual
impairment assessment will be made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 unless indicators arise
that would require the Company to reevaluate goodwill for impairment at an earlier date. The
following table presents the changes in goodwill during the first six months of fiscal 2007 and the
year ended October 28, 2006:

which resulted in an additional $5.6 million of goodwill. The
Company also purchased
additional outstanding
minority shares related to this acquisition during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, which
resulted in an additional $4.4 million of goodwill. |
Intangible Assets
The Company reviews identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows
the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic lives. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which
the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value determined by either a quoted
market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique.
Intangible assets, which will continue to be amortized, consisted of the following:

Intangible assets acquired prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2006 continue to be amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from five to ten years. The
$43.1 million of intangible assets acquired during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006 are
being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years using an accelerated method of
amortization that is expected to reflect the estimated pattern of economic use. The remaining
amortization expense will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.
Amortization expense related to intangibles was $3.3 million and $0.4 million for the three-month
periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006 respectively, and $6.9 million and $0.8 million for
the six-month periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively.

Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies
Tentative Settlement of the SECs Previously Announced Stock Option Investigation
In the Companys 2004 Form 10-K filing, the Company disclosed that the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) had initiated an inquiry into its stock option granting practices, focusing on
options that were granted shortly before the issuance of favorable financial results. On November
15, 2005, the Company announced that it had reached a tentative settlement with the SEC.
At all times since receiving notice of this inquiry, the Company has cooperated with the SEC. In
November 2005, the Company and its President and CEO, Mr. Jerald G. Fishman, made an offer of
settlement to the Staff of the SEC. In May 2007, the settlement was finalized with the Staff and
we expect that it will be submitted to the Commission for approval; however, the settlement has not
yet been considered or approved by the Commission. There can be no assurance a final settlement
will be so approved.
The settlement addresses two separate issues. The first issue concerns the Companys disclosure
regarding grants of options to employees and directors prior to the release of favorable financial
results. Specifically, the issue relates to options granted to employees (including officers) of
the Company on November 30, 1999 and to employees (including officers) and directors of the Company
on November 10, 2000. The settlement would conclude that the Company should have made disclosures
in its proxy filings to the effect that the Company priced these stock options prior to releasing
favorable financial results.
The second issue addressed by the settlement concerns the grant dates for options granted to
employees (including officers) in 1998 and 1999, and the grant date for options granted to
employees (including officers) and directors in 2001. Specifically, the settlement would conclude
that the appropriate grant date for the September 4, 1998 options should have been September 8th
(which is one trading day later than the date that was used to price the options); the appropriate
grant date for the November 30, 1999 options should have been November 29th (which is one trading
day earlier than the date that was used); and the appropriate grant date for the July 18, 2001
options should have been July 26th (which is five trading days after the original date).
In connection with the proposed settlement, the Company would consent to a cease-and-desist order
under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, would pay a civil
money penalty of $3 million, and would reprice options granted to Mr. Fishman and other directors
in certain years. Options granted to all other employees would be excluded from the repricing. Mr.
Fishman would consent to a cease-and-desist order under Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities
Act, would pay a civil money penalty of $1 million, and would make a disgorgement payment with
respect to options granted in certain years. With the exception of options granted in 1998, Mr.
Fishman has not exercised or sold any of the options identified in this matter. The Company and Mr.
Fishman would settle this matter without admitting or denying the Commissions findings.
The Company has determined that no restatement of its historical financial results would be
necessary due to the proposed settlement because the effects of using revised measurement dates for
options granted in 1998, 1999 and 2001 are not material to any of the fiscal years 1998 through
2005 based on the materiality guidelines contained in SAB 99. If a stock-based compensation charge
had been taken as a result of the revised measurement dates for these option grants to all
employees (including officers) and directors, the net income of the Company for fiscal years 1998
through 2005 would have been reduced by $21.8 million in total. During this period, the Company
earned cumulative net income of over $2.5 billion. There would be no impact on revenue, cash flow
from operations, or shareholders equity as a result of using the revised measurement dates.
The impact on net income in individual fiscal years would have been as follows: fiscal 1998 ($0.2
million), fiscal 1999 ($1.4 million), fiscal 2000 ($1.8 million), fiscal 2001 ($3.7 million),
fiscal 2002 ($8.1 million), fiscal 2003 ($6.1 million), fiscal 2004 ($0.5 million).
Other Legal Proceedings
On June 14, 2005, Biax Corporation filed its first amended complaint for patent infringement in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against the Company and Intel
Corporation, alleging that the Company infringed three
patents owned by Biax relating to parallel processors. Prior to the filing of the first amended
complaint, the Company was unaware of Biax or this action. The first amended complaint sought
injunctive relief, unspecified damages with interest, as well as Biaxs costs, expenses and fees.
On August 3, 2005, the Company filed an answer and counterclaimed against Biax. In
19
the counterclaim, the Company sought rulings that the patents were not infringed, the patents were
invalid and the patents were unenforceable. On November 7, 2005, Biax filed a second amended
complaint alleging that the Company infringed two additional patents. The Company filed an answer
and counterclaimed that the two additional patents were not infringed, the patents were invalid and
the patents were unenforceable. In May 2007, the parties agreed to a settlement of this litigation
for which the Company agreed to pay a nominal cash amount to Biax.
In May 2006, the Company received a document subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern
District of New York requesting records from 2000 to the present relating to the Companys granting
of stock options. The Company believes that the options at issue in this matter are the same option
grants which have been the subject of investigation by the SEC. The Company is cooperating with the
office of the U.S. Attorney in connection with this subpoena. The Company cannot predict the
outcome of this matter, but believes the disposition of the matter will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company or its financial position.
On May 25, 2006, the Company filed a lawsuit in United States District Court for the District of
Delaware against Linear Technology Corp. (LTC), alleging infringement of three Company patents by
LTCs making, selling and using various products. In addition, the Company also sought a
declaratory judgment that its products do not infringe eight patents allegedly owned by LTC (the
LTC patents) and that the LTC patents are invalid. On July 28, 2006, LTC filed an answer and
counterclaims, denying that its products infringe the asserted Company patents and asking the court
to declare such patents invalid. LTC also claimed that the Company, by making, selling and using
various power management products, is infringing seven of the eight LTC patents. LTC seeks damages
in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief. On August 21, 2006, the Company filed its answer to
LTCs counterclaims, denying all liability to LTC. The case is currently in the discovery phase and
trial is scheduled to begin in June 2008. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims
against LTC, and to vigorously defend against LTCs counterclaims. The Company is unable at this
time to predict the outcome of this litigation; however, the Company believes that the final
disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its financial
position.
On October 13, 2006, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of participants in the Companys Investment
Partnership Plan from October 5, 2000 to the present. The complaint named as defendants the
Company, certain officers and directors, and the Companys Investment Partnership Plan
Administration Committee. The complaint alleges purported violations of federal law in connection
with the Companys option granting practices during the years 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, including
breaches of fiduciary duties owed to participants and beneficiaries of the Companys Investment
Partnership Plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The complaint seeks unspecified
monetary damages, as well as equitable and injunctive relief. The Company intends to vigorously
defend against these allegations. On November 22, 2006, the Company and the individual defendants
filed motions to dismiss the complaint. On January 8, 2007, the Plaintiff filed memoranda in
opposition. On January 22, 2007, the Company and the individual defendants filed further memoranda
in support of the motions to dismiss. Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to
the asserted claims, it is unable at this time to predict the outcome of this proceeding.
From time to time as a normal incidence of the nature of the Companys business, various claims,
charges and litigation are asserted or commenced against the Company arising from, or related to,
contractual matters, patents, trademarks, personal injury, environmental matters, product
liability, insurance coverage and personnel and employment disputes. As to such claims and
litigation the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail.
While the Company does not believe that any of the matters described above will have a material
adverse effect on the Companys financial position, an adverse outcome of any of these matters is
possible and could have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated results of
operations or cash flows in the quarter or annual period in which one or more of these matters are
resolved.
Note 11 Common Stock Repurchase
Since August 2004, the Company has had a common stock repurchase program in place. On December 6,
2006 the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company of an additional $1 billion of
the Companys common stock, increasing the total amount of the Companys common stock the Company
is authorized to repurchase from $2 billion to $3 billion. Under the repurchase program, the
Company may repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market
and through privately negotiated transactions. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of the
Companys Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when the Company has repurchased
all shares authorized under the program.
20
The Company repurchased approximately 10.3 million
shares for approximately $364.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. As of May 5,
2007, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 69.6 million shares of its common stock
for approximately $2.4 billion under this program. The repurchased shares are held as authorized
but unissued shares of common stock.
Note 12 Related Party Transactions
One of the Companys directors, who has served on the Companys Board of Directors since 1988,
became a director of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, in fiscal 2002 and
continues to serve as a director of TSMC. Management believes the terms and prices for the
purchases of products from TSMC are not affected by the presence of one of the Companys directors
on the Board of Directors of TSMC. The Company purchased approximately $79 million and $78 million
of products from TSMC during the three-month periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006,
respectively, and approximately $152 million and $141 million during the six-month periods ended
May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively. Approximately $22 and $17 million was payable to
TSMC as of May 5, 2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively. Management anticipates that it will make
significant purchases from TSMC in the remaining quarters of fiscal year 2007.
Note 13 New Accounting Standards
Accounting for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity
to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective as
of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 may have on the Companys
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Accounting for Prior Year Misstatements
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB 108). This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year
misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality
assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement
errors based on the effects on each of the companys balance sheet and statement of operations and
the related financial statement disclosures. SAB 108 permits existing public companies to record
the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November
15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and
liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening
balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method
requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected
through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The adoption of SAB 108 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 did not have any impact on the Companys financial statements.
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R (SFAS
158). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize the funded status of pension and other
postretirement benefit plans on sponsoring employers balance sheets and to recognize changes in
the funded status in the year the changes occur. It also requires the measurement date of plan
assets and obligations to occur at the end of the employers fiscal year. SFAS 158 is effective for
the Company at the end
of fiscal 2007, except for the change in measurement date, which is effective for the Company in
fiscal 2008. The effect on the Companys financial statements is dependent upon the discount rate
at the Companys fiscal 2007 measurement date (September 30, 2007) and actual returns on the
Companys pension plan assets during the year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if
any, that SFAS 158 may have on the Companys financial conditions, results of operations or
liquidity.
21
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with
SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, that FIN 48 may have on the Companys financial condition or results
of operations.
Note 14 Income Taxes
The Companys income tax payable at May 5, 2007 was approximately $106.5 million, which included
approximately $99 million for current U.S. federal, state and foreign tax filings. The remaining
$7.5 million of income tax payable is for various other income taxes.
During fiscal year 2006, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) invited the Company to
participate in the Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) which is a voluntary pilot program the IRS is
conducting for a limited number of large business taxpayers. The objective of CAP is to reduce
taxpayer burden associated with IRS audits while assuring the IRS of the accuracy of tax returns
prior to filing. The Company has agreed to participate in CAP for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007.
Under the program, the IRS will contemporaneously work with the Company to achieve federal tax
compliance and resolve issues prior to the filing of a tax return. CAP is designed to eliminate or
substantially reduce the need for post-filing examinations of future tax returns. The routine
audit of fiscal years 2004 and 2005 is currently underway.
Note 15 Maxim Litigation Settlement
The Company executed a
legal settlement with Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (Maxim) during the second quarter
of fiscal 2007 which resulted in the Company receiving $19 million. The Company
recorded $8.5 million as a credit to legal expense in Selling, marketing, general
and administrative based on concluding that this amount represents the fair value of
external legal costs incurred by the Company in this matter. The remaining
$10.5 million has been recorded in Other Income due to our conclusion that the
purpose of this litigation was the protection of our intellectual property, not in the
ordinary course of business, and we deem it to be an isolated event. This amount is
earned in full because the Company has no future obligation to Maxim with respect to
this payment.
Note 16 Subsequent Event
On May 21, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per outstanding
share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on June 20, 2007 to all shareholders of record at
the close of business on June 1, 2007.

Fiscal 2007 is a 53-week year and fiscal 2006 was a 52-week year. The additional week in fiscal
2007 was included in the first quarter ended February 3, 2007. Therefore, the first six months of
fiscal 2007 included an additional week of operations as compared to the first six months of fiscal
2006.
Revenue
Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased by $25.3 million, or 4%, from the amount
recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase by end
market and by product category is
outlined below under Revenue Trends by End Market and Revenue Trends by Product. Revenue increased
by $95.6 million, or 8%, in the six months ended May 5, 2007 from the comparable period in fiscal
2006. This was primarily the result of an additional week of operations in the first quarter of
fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006 and $35 million in revenue we recorded in the first quarter
of fiscal 2007 in exchange for the licensing of certain intellectual property rights.
23
Revenue Trends by End Market
The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a variety of data points including
the technical characteristics of the product, the sold to customer information, the ship to
customer information and the end customer product or application into which our product will be
incorporated. As data systems for capturing and tracking this data evolve and improve, the
categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When this occurs, we reclassify
revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change
the sizing, or the underlying trends of results within each end market.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded revenue of $35 million
received in exchange for licensing of certain intellectual property rights to a third party. |
Industrial The year-to-year increases in both the three- and six-month periods were primarily the
result of revenue growth of products sold into the instrumentation area of the industrial end
market.
Communications
The year-to-year decreases in both the three- and six-month periods were a result
of a decline in handset chipsets sales as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2006. The
decreases were also attributable to the loss of revenue from our DSP-based DSL ASIC and network
processor product line that we sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. These decreases were
partially offset by an increase in revenue from the wireless base station end market.
Consumer The year-to-year increases in both the three- and six-month periods were primarily the
result of increased sales of our products into digital home applications, including advanced television
systems and video game applications, in the first half of fiscal 2007.
Computer The year-to-year decreases in both the three- and six-month periods were primarily the
result of refocusing our power management portfolio toward portable devices and partially
attributable to an overall weak personal computer market in the first half of fiscal 2007.
Intellectual Property Revenue During the first quarter of fiscal 2007 we recorded revenue of $35
million received in exchange for licensing of certain intellectual property rights to a third
party.
24
Revenue Trends by Product
The following table summarizes revenue by product categories. The categorization of our products
into broad categories is based on the characteristics of the individual products, the specification
of the products and in some cases the specific uses that certain products have within applications.
The categorization of products into categories is therefore subject to judgment in some cases and
can vary over time. In instances where products move between product categories we reclassify the
amounts in the product categories for all prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not
materially change the sizing, or the underlying trends of results within each product category.

Gross margin percentage decreased 210 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily the
result of higher sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 of products used in consumer
electronics, automobiles and cellular handsets, which currently earn relatively lower gross margins than our
average product. Gross margin percentage remained relatively flat in the six months ended May 5,
2007 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2006, as the higher sales of our lower margin
consumer products during the first six months of fiscal 2007 was offset by the $35 million in
revenue recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 in exchange for licensing of certain
intellectual property rights to a third party with no associated cost of sales.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, on October 30, 2005, we adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Boards Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment, or SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective application method. Compensation cost is
calculated on the date of grant using the fair value of the options as calculated using the
Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires us to make several
assumptions. One of the key assumptions is expected volatility. For options granted prior to
fiscal 2005, we used historical volatility to estimate the grant-date fair value of stock options.
We changed our method of estimating expected volatility for all stock options granted after fiscal
2004 from exclusively relying on historical volatility to exclusively relying on implied
volatility. This change was the result of a thorough review we undertook which included
consultations with several third-party advisors. We currently believe that the exclusive use of
implied volatility results in a more accurate estimate of the grant-date fair value of employee
stock options because it more appropriately reflects the markets expectations of future
volatility. Historical volatility during the period commensurate with the expected term of our
stock options over the past several years included a period of time during which our stock price
experienced unprecedented increases and subsequent declines. We believe that this past stock price
volatility is unlikely to be indicative of future stock price behavior.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we recognized $17.4 million of stock-based compensation
expense, or 2.6% of product revenue, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R. The adoption of
SFAS 123R reduced diluted EPS for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 by $0.04. For the six months
ended May 5, 2007, we recognized $37.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, or 2.8% of
product revenue, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R. The adoption of SFAS 123R reduced
diluted EPS for the six-month period ended May 5, 2007 by $0.08. We expect that stock-based
compensation related to our adoption of SFAS 123R will reduce diluted EPS by approximately $0.04 in
the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
26
As of May 5, 2007, the total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized in the
statement of income was approximately $181.9 million (before tax consideration), which we expect to
recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for further information regarding our adoption of SFAS 123R.

Research and development, or R&D, expenses increased $14.8 million, or 11%, in the second quarter
of fiscal 2007 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase reflects our
continued commitment to invest in key product areas and was primarily the result of higher employee
salary and benefit expense as a result of an increase in our employee population and salary
increases that were effective at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
R&D expenses increased $27.4 million, or 10%, in the first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared to
the first six months of fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily the result of the extra week of
operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In addition, salary and benefit expense was higher
in the first six months of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal 2006 as the result of
an increase in our employee population and salary increases.
R&D expenses as a percentage of product revenue will fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on
the amount of product revenue and the success of new product development efforts, which we view as
critical to our future growth. At any point in time we have hundreds of R&D projects underway, and
we believe that none of these projects is material on an individual basis. We expect to continue
the development of innovative technologies and processes for new products, and we believe that a
continued commitment to R&D is essential in order to maintain product leadership with our existing
products and to provide innovative new product offerings. Therefore, we are planning to continue
to make significant R&D investments in the future.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative, or SMG&A, expenses decreased $4.4 million, or 5%,
in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This
decrease was primarily the result of the $8.5 million that we received in the settlement of
litigation in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 for the reimbursement of legal expenses, which was
partially offset by higher salary expense.
SMG&A expenses increased $4.0 million, or 2%, in the first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared to
the comparable period of fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily the result of the extra week of
operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and higher salary expense, partially offset by the
$8.5 million we received in the settlement of litigation in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 for
the reimbursement of legal expenses.

Special Charges
Closure of Wafer Fabrication Facility
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, we recorded a special charge of $20.3 million as a result
of a decision to close our California wafer fabrication operations and transfer virtually all of
the production of products manufactured there to our facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The
charge was for severance and fringe benefit costs that were recorded pursuant to SFAS 88,
Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits, or SFAS 88, under our ongoing benefit plan for 339 manufacturing employees
and 28 general and administrative employees. The severance benefit was calculated based on length
of past service, and employees must continue to be employed until they are involuntarily terminated
in order to receive the severance benefit. We completed the remaining cleanup and
closure activities during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. As of May 5, 2007, the employment of
all of the employees included in this action had been terminated by us.
In addition to the charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, we recorded additional
expense during fiscal 2006, which consisted of $18.3 million of non-cash cost of sales expenses for
additional depreciation due to shortened useful lives of certain manufacturing equipment and $2.0
million for stay-on bonuses. We reversed approximately $2.0 million of our severance accrual
during fiscal 2006 because some employees voluntarily left the company, other employees found
alternative employment within the company, and there was an over accrual related to fringe benefits
because severance payments, normally paid as income continuance, were paid as lump sum payments,
which reduced the benefit costs associated with these payments.
We ceased production at the wafer fabrication facility on November 9, 2006. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded additional expense, in accordance with SFAS 146, Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which consisted of $3.2 million for clean-up and
closure costs that were charged to expense as incurred. The additional $0.4 million of this charge
was for lease obligation costs for a warehouse facility we ceased using during the first quarter of
fiscal 2007.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded a special charge, in accordance with SFAS
146, which consisted of $1.7 million for clean-up and closure costs that were charged to expense as
incurred. Also included in this special charge was $5.0 million of expense for future lease
obligation costs for the wafer fabrication facility that we ceased using during the second quarter
of fiscal 2007. The clean-up activity was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, and
we do not expect to incur any additional expenses related to this action.
The closure of this facility has resulted in annual cost savings of approximately $50 million per
year beginning in fiscal 2007. These annual savings include: approximately $49 million in cost of
sales, of which approximately $7 million relates to non-cash depreciation savings, and
approximately $1 million in SMG&A expenses. At current demand levels, if this facility were still
in operation, the capacity of the facility would be largely underutilized resulting in significant
adverse variances associated with the under utilization of our wafer fabrication facilities.
Reorganization of Product Development and Support Programs
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, we recorded a special charge of $11.2 million as a result
of our decision to reorganize our product development and support programs with the goal of
providing greater focus on our analog and digital signal processing product programs. The charge
was for severance and fringe benefit costs that were recorded pursuant to SFAS 88 under our ongoing
benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 60 manufacturing employees and 154
engineering and selling, marketing, general and administrative employees.
During fiscal 2006, we recorded an additional special charge of $3.8 million related to this
reorganization action. Approximately $1.5 million of this charge was for lease obligation costs
for a facility we ceased using during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and the write-off of
property, plant and equipment and other items. The remaining $2.3 million relates to the severance
and fringe benefit costs that were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 pursuant to SFAS
88 under our ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 46 engineering
and selling, marketing, general and administrative employees.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded an additional special charge of $1.6 million
related to this reorganization action. Approximately $0.6 million of this charge was for contract
termination costs. The remaining $1.0 million relates to
28
severance and fringe benefit costs that
were recorded in the first quarter pursuant to SFAS 88 under our ongoing benefit plan for six
engineering employees.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded an additional special charge of $3.4 million
related to this reorganization action. Approximately $0.2 million of this charge was for lease
obligation costs for a facility we ceased using during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The
remaining $3.2 million relates to the severance and fringe benefit costs that were recorded in the
second quarter pursuant to SFAS 88 under our ongoing benefit plan or
minimum statutory requirements at
foreign locations for 20 engineering and selling, marketing, general and administrative employees.
As of May 5, 2007, 21 of the 286 employees included in this reorganization action were still
employed by us. These employees must continue to be employed until they are involuntarily
terminated in order to receive the severance benefit.
We do not expect to incur any further material charges related to this reorganization action.
These organizational changes are expected to result in savings of approximately $30 million per
year once fully completed. These savings are expected to be realized as follows: approximately
$17 million in R&D expenses, approximately $10 million in SMG&A expenses and approximately $3
million in cost of sales. A portion of these savings associated with these charges are reflected
in our current results.

The $19.6 million decrease in
operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the second quarter
of fiscal 2006 was the result of the following factors: decreases in operating income as
the result of a decrease in the gross margin percentage, a $10.1 million special charge
in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and increases in other operating expenses of
approximately $18 million, partially offset by an increase in operating income from a
$25.3 million increase in revenue and $8.5 million of reimbursed legal expenses from
the settlement of litigation. The increases in other operating expenses are more fully
described above under the headings Research and Development and Selling, Marketing,
General and Administrative.
The $11.4 million increase in operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared
to the same period of fiscal 2006 was the result of the following factors: an increase in
operating income from a $95.6 million increase in revenue (primarily a result of recording $35
million in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 received in exchange for licensing of
certain intellectual property rights to a third party) and $8.5 million of reimbursed legal
expenses from the settlement of litigation, partially offset by decreases in operating income as
the result of a decrease in the gross margin percentage, a $14.3 million higher special charge in
the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and increases in other operating expenses of approximately $47
million, as more fully described above under the headings Research
and Development and Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative.

Nonoperating income decreased by $8.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to
the same period in the prior fiscal year. We recognized a $13.0 million gain on the sale
of a product line in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. In the second
quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded nonoperating income of $10.5 million as part of a
litigation settlement. Additionally, interest income was lower by $5 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 2007 as
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2006 as a result of lower invested cash balances, which
was partially offset by higher interest rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to
the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

The $3.6 million increase in nonoperating income in the first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared
to the same period in the prior fiscal year related to a $7.9 million gain we recognized from the
sale of an investment in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and a $10.5 million settlement we
received in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. We recognized a $13.0
million gain on the sale of a product line in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The
impact of lower invested cash balances on interest income in the first half of fiscal 2007 was
partially offset by the higher interest rates in the first half of fiscal 2007 as compared to the
same period of fiscal 2006.

Our effective tax rate reflects the applicable tax rate in effect in the various tax jurisdictions
around the world where our income is earned.
Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was lower by 0.5% as compared to the
same period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease was primarily a result of a tax benefit of
$9.9 million associated with the reinstatement of the U.S. federal research and development tax
credit in 2007 that was not available in our second quarter of fiscal 2006 and to a lesser extent
by the higher tax rate on the proceeds from the sale of a product line in the second quarter of
fiscal 2006. These decreases were partially offset by a higher tax rate on the $19 million
received from the settlement of litigation in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2007 was lower by 0.1% as compared to the
first six months of fiscal 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a tax benefit of $9.9 million
from the reinstatement of the U.S. federal research and development tax credit and the cumulative
adjustment recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 related to the application of this credit
to a portion of our fiscal 2006 results. The tax rate was also lower in the first half of fiscal
2007 due to the higher tax rate on the proceeds from the sale of a product line in the second
quarter of fiscal 2006. These items, which had the impact of lowering
the tax rate in the first six months of fiscal 2007, were partially
offset by the higher tax rate on the $35 million one-time payment associated with the licensing of
intellectual property to a third party, the gain on the sale of an investment of $7.9 million
during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and the $19 million received from the settlement of
litigation in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was lower than in the second quarter of fiscal 2006
by approximately $20.5 million primarily as a result of the $19.6 million decrease in operating
income and the $8.1 million decrease in nonoperating income, which were partially offset by the
lower tax rate.
In the six-month period ended May 5, 2007, net income was higher than in the same period in the
prior year by approximately $12.2 million primarily as a result of the $11.4 million increase in
operating income and the $3.6 million increase in nonoperating income, which were partially offset
by a higher provision for income taxes.
Related Party Transactions
One of our directors, who has served on our Board of Directors since 1988, became a director of
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, in fiscal 2002 and continues to serve as a
director of TSMC. Management believes the terms and prices for the purchases of products from TSMC
are not affected by the presence of one of our directors on the Board of Directors of TSMC. We
purchased approximately $79 million and $78 million of products from TSMC during the
30
three-month
periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively, and approximately $152 million and $141
million during the six-month periods ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively.
Approximately $22 million and $17 million was payable to TSMC as of May 5, 2007 and October 28,
2006, respectively. Management anticipates that we will make significant purchases from TSMC in the
remainder of fiscal year 2007.
Outlook
We are planning for revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to be in the range of $655
million to $685 million. We are also planning for our gross margin percentage for the third
quarter of fiscal 2007 to be approximately flat to the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Operating
expenses are planned to be flat or slightly higher in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as a
result of our plan to continue increasing R&D spending on new analog products while reducing spending
in other areas. Diluted EPS for the third quarter of
fiscal 2007 is planned to be in the range of $0.33 to $0.37. This estimate of diluted EPS includes
approximately $0.04 per share related to stock-based compensation expense and previously announced
acquisition-related expenses.

At May 5, 2007, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $1,794.7 million, a
decrease of $333.7 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The primary sources of funds
for the first six months of fiscal 2007 were net cash generated from operating activities of $446.8
million and proceeds of $78.3 million from our various employee stock plans. The principal uses
of funds for the first six months of fiscal 2007 were the repurchase of approximately 20.4 million
shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $697.8 million, dividend payments of $114.3 million
and capital expenditures of $77.4 million.

Accounts receivable at May 5, 2007 increased $2.7 million, or 1%, from the end of the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2006.
Inventory at May 5, 2007 increased by $3.5 million, or 1%, from the end of fiscal 2006. The
increase in inventory was primarily caused by an inventory build to support anticipated higher
sales demand.
Net additions to property, plant and equipment were $77.4 million in the first six months of fiscal
2007 and were funded with a combination of cash on hand and cash generated from operations. Capital
expenditures are expected to be approximately $175 million in fiscal 2007.
On May 21, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per outstanding share of
our common stock. The dividend is payable on June 20, 2007 to shareholders of record on June 1,
2007 and is expected to be approximately $59 million in the aggregate. The payment of future
dividends will be based on several factors including our financial
performance, outlook and liquidity. Quarterly dividends are expected to continue at $0.18 per
share, although they remain subject to declaration or change by our Board of Directors.
At May 5, 2007, our principal source of liquidity was $1,794.7 million of cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to
be generated from future operations, together with anticipated available long-term financing, will
be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures, research and
31
development efforts, dividend
payments (if any) and purchases of stock (if any) under our stock repurchase program for at least
the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective as
of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are
currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 may have on our financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity.
Accounting for Prior Year Misstatements
In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). This SAB provides
guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current
year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach
that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects on each of the
companys balance sheet and statement of operations and the related financial statement
disclosures. SAB 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially
applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary
correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that
year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings.
Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of
the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment
and how and when it arose. The adoption of SAB 108 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 did not have
any impact on our financial statements.
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R (SFAS
158). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize the funded status of pension and other
postretirement benefit plans on sponsoring employers balance sheets and to recognize changes in
the funded status in the year the changes occur. It also requires the measurement date of plan
assets and obligations to occur at the end of the employers fiscal year. SFAS 158 is effective for
us at the end of fiscal 2007, except for the change in measurement date, which is effective for us
in fiscal 2008. The effect on our financial statements is dependent upon the discount rate at our
fiscal 2007 measurement date (September 30, 2007) and actual returns on our pension plan assets
during the year. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 158 may have on our
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with
SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any,
that FIN 48 may have on our financial condition or results of operations.
32
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Managements discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based
upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We
base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and
beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information. We consider the following
accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and
those that require the most subjective judgment. If actual results differ significantly from
managements estimates and projections, there could be a material effect on our financial
statements. We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as our
policy for revenue recognition, including the deferral of revenue on sales to distributors until
the products are sold to the end user; however, the application of these policies does not require
us to make significant estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Because of the
cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, changes in inventory levels, obsolescence of
technology, and product life cycles, we write down inventories to net realizable value. We employ a
variety of methodologies to determine the amount of inventory reserves necessary. While a portion
of the reserve is determined via reference to the age of inventory and lower of cost or market
calculations, an element of the reserve is subject to significant judgments made by us about future
demand for our inventory. If actual demand for our products is less than our estimates, additional
reserves for existing inventories may need to be recorded in future periods.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts, when appropriate, for estimated losses resulting from
the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our
customers were to deteriorate, our actual losses may exceed our estimates, and additional
allowances would be required.
Long-Lived Assets
We review property, plant, and equipment and identified intangible assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying value to
future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic
lives. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings
equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value
determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted
cash flow technique. Although we have recognized no material impairment adjustments related to our
property, plant, and equipment and identified intangible assets during the past three fiscal years,
except those made in conjunction with restructuring actions, deterioration in our business in the
future could lead to such impairment adjustments in future periods. Evaluation of impairment of
long-lived assets requires estimates of future operating results that are used in the preparation
of the expected future undiscounted cash flows. Actual future operating results and the remaining
economic lives of our long-lived assets could differ from the estimates used in assessing the
recoverability of these assets. These differences could result in impairment charges, which could
have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, in certain instances,
assets may not be impaired but their estimated useful lives may have decreased. In these
situations, we amortize the remaining net book values over the revised useful lives.
Goodwill
In accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is subject to annual
impairment tests, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist and suggest that the
carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable from estimated discounted future cash flows.
Because we have one reporting segment under SFAS 142, we utilize the entity-wide approach to assess
goodwill for impairment and compare our market value to our net book value to determine if an
impairment exists. These impairment tests may result in impairment losses that could have a
material adverse impact on our results of operations.
33
Accounting for Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which
requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the
effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities.
SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We
evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets quarterly. At May 5, 2007, we had gross
deferred tax assets of $206.1 million primarily resulting from temporary differences between the
book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We have conducted an assessment of the likelihood of
realization of those deferred tax assets and concluded that a $44.9 million valuation allowance is
needed to reserve the amount of the deferred tax assets that may not be realized due to the
expiration of state credit carryovers. In reaching our conclusion, we evaluated certain relevant
criteria including the existence of deferred tax liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred
tax assets, the taxable income in prior carryback years that can be used to absorb net operating
losses and taxable income in future years. Our judgments regarding future profitability may change
due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. These
changes, if any, may require material adjustments to these deferred tax assets, resulting in a
reduction in net income or an increase in net loss in the period when such determinations are made.
In the ordinary course of global business, there are many transactions and calculations where the
ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of cost
reimbursement and royalty arrangements among related entities. Although we believe our estimates
are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be
different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such
differences could have a material impact on our income tax provision and operating results in the
period in which such determination is made.
Stock-Based Compensation
The adoption of SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 requires that stock-based
compensation expense associated with stock options and related awards be recognized in the
statement of income, rather than being disclosed in a pro forma footnote to the consolidated
financial statements. Determining the amount of stock-based compensation to be recorded requires
us to develop estimates to be used in calculating the grant-date fair value of stock options. We
calculate the grant-date fair values using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The use of valuation
models requires us to make estimates of the following assumptions:
Expected volatility We are responsible for estimating volatility and have considered a number of
factors, including third-party estimates, when estimating volatility. For options granted prior to
fiscal 2005, we used historical volatility to estimate the grant-date fair value of stock options.
We changed our method of estimating expected volatility for all stock options granted after fiscal
2004 from exclusively relying on historical volatility to exclusively relying on implied
volatility. This change was the result of a thorough review we undertook which included
consultations with several third-party advisors. We currently believe that the exclusive use of
implied volatility results in a more accurate estimate of the grant-date fair value of employee
stock options because it more appropriately reflects the markets expectations of future
volatility. Historical volatility during the period commensurate with the expected term of our
stock options over the past several years included a period of time that our stock price
experienced unprecedented increases and subsequent declines. We believe that this past stock price
volatility is unlikely to be indicative of future stock price behavior. Options in our stock are
actively traded on several exchanges. Implied volatility is calculated for the period that is
commensurate with the options expected term assumption. Because this term often exceeds the
period for which there are exchange-traded options in our stock, statistical techniques are used to
derive the implied volatility for traded options with terms commensurate with the options expected
term of 5.1 years. This calculation of implied volatility is derived from the closing prices of
our stock and exchange traded options from the most recent five trading days prior to the grant
date of the employee stock option. In general, the higher the expected volatility used in the
Black-Scholes valuation model, the higher the grant-date fair value of the option.
Expected term We use historical employee exercise and option expiration data to estimate the
expected term assumption for the Black-Scholes grant date valuation. We believe that this
historical data is currently the best estimate of the expected term of a new option, and that
generally, all of our employees exhibit similar exercise behavior. In general, the longer the
expected term used in the Black-Scholes valuation model, the higher the grant-date fair value of
the option.
Risk-free interest rate The yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is
commensurate with the expected term assumption is used as the risk-free interest rate.
34
Expected dividend yield Expected dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the cash dividend
declared by our Board of Directors for the current quarter and dividing that result by the closing
stock price on the date of grant of the option. Until such time as our Board of Directors declares
a cash dividend for an amount that is different from the current quarters cash dividend, the
current dividend will be used in deriving this assumption. Cash dividends are not paid on options,
restricted stock or restricted stock units.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of
the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to
be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term forfeitures is distinct from cancellations
or expirations and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered option. Based on an
analysis of our historical forfeitures, we have applied an annual forfeiture rate of 3.4% to all
unvested stock-based awards as of May 5, 2007. The 3.4% represents the portion that is expected to
be forfeited each year over the vesting period. This analysis will be re-evaluated quarterly and
the forfeiture rate will be adjusted as necessary. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over
the vesting period will only be for those awards that vest.
Contingencies
From time to time, we receive notices that our products or manufacturing processes may be
infringing the patent or intellectual property rights of others. We periodically assess each matter
to determine if a contingent liability should be recorded in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. In making this determination, we may, depending on the nature of the matter,
consult with internal and external legal counsel and technical experts. Based on the information we
obtain, combined with our judgment regarding all the facts and circumstances of each matter, we
determine whether it is probable that a contingent loss may be incurred and whether the amount of
such loss can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, we record a
contingent loss in accordance with SFAS 5. In determining the amount of a contingent loss, we
consider advice received from experts in the specific matter, current status of legal proceedings,
settlement negotiations that may be ongoing, prior case history and other factors. If the judgments
and estimates made by us are incorrect, we may need to record additional contingent losses that
could materially adversely impact our results of operations. See Note 10 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional
information regarding our commitments and contingencies.
35
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in the information provided under Item 7A. Qualitative and
Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended October 28, 2006.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Analogs
disclosure controls and procedures as of May 5, 2007. The term disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management
necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 5,
2007, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. No change in our internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
occurred during the quarter ended May 5, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
36
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
Tentative Settlement of the SECs Previously Announced Stock Option Investigation
In our 2004 Form 10-K filing, we disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had
initiated an inquiry into our stock option granting practices, focusing on options that were
granted shortly before the issuance of favorable financial results. On November 15, 2005, we
announced that we had reached a tentative settlement with the SEC.
At all times since receiving notice of this inquiry, we have cooperated with the SEC. In November
2005, we and our President and CEO, Mr. Jerald G. Fishman, made an offer of settlement to the Staff
of the SEC. In May 2007, the settlement was finalized with the Staff and we expect that it will be
submitted to the Commission for approval; however, the settlement has not yet been considered or
approved by the Commission. There can be no assurance a final settlement will be so approved.
The settlement addresses two separate issues. The first issue concerns our disclosure regarding
grants of options to employees and directors prior to the release of favorable financial results.
Specifically, the issue relates to options granted to our employees (including officers) on
November 30, 1999 and to our employees (including officers) and directors on November 10, 2000. The
settlement would conclude that we should have made disclosures in our proxy filings to the effect
that we priced these stock options prior to releasing favorable financial results.
The second issue addressed by the settlement concerns the grant dates for options granted to
employees (including officers) in 1998 and 1999, and the grant date for options granted to
employees (including officers) and directors in 2001. Specifically, the settlement would conclude
that the appropriate grant date for the September 4, 1998 options should have been September 8th
(which is one trading day later than the date that was used to price the options); the appropriate
grant date for the November 30, 1999 options should have been November 29th (which is one trading
day earlier than the date that was used); and the appropriate grant date for the July 18, 2001
options should have been July 26th (which is five trading days after the original date).
In connection with the proposed settlement, we would consent to a cease-and-desist order under
Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, would pay a civil money
penalty of $3 million, and would reprice options granted to Mr. Fishman and other directors in
certain years. Options granted to all other employees would be excluded from the repricing. Mr.
Fishman would consent to a cease-and-desist order under Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities
Act, would pay a civil money penalty of $1 million, and would make a disgorgement payment with
respect to options granted in certain years. With the exception of options granted in 1998, Mr.
Fishman has not exercised or sold any of the options identified in this matter. We and Mr. Fishman
would settle this matter without admitting or denying the Commissions findings.
We have determined that no restatement of our historical financial results would be necessary due
to the proposed settlement because the effects of using revised measurement dates for options
granted in 1998, 1999 and 2001 are not material to any of the fiscal years 1998 through 2005 based
on the materiality guidelines contained in SAB 99. If a stock-based compensation charge had been
taken as a result of the revised measurement dates for these option grants to all employees
(including officers) and directors, our net income for fiscal years 1998 through 2005 would have
been reduced by $21.8 million in total. During this period, we earned cumulative net income of over
$2.5 billion. There would be no impact on revenue, cash flow from operations, or shareholders
equity as a result of using the revised measurement dates. The impact on net income in individual
fiscal years would have been as follows: fiscal 1998 ($0.2 million), fiscal 1999 ($1.4 million),
fiscal 2000 ($1.8 million), fiscal 2001 ($3.7 million), fiscal 2002 ($8.1 million), fiscal 2003
($6.1 million), fiscal 2004 ($0.5 million).
Other Legal Proceedings
On June 14, 2005, Biax Corporation filed its first amended complaint for patent infringement in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against us and Intel Corporation,
alleging that we infringed three patents owned by Biax relating to parallel processors. Prior to
the filing of the first amended complaint, we were unaware of Biax or this action. The first
amended complaint sought injunctive relief, unspecified damages with interest, as well as Biaxs
costs, expenses and fees. On August 3, 2005, we filed an answer and counterclaimed against Biax. In
the counterclaim, we sought rulings that the
patents were not infringed, the patents were invalid and the patents were unenforceable. On
November 7, 2005, Biax filed a second amended complaint alleging that we infringed two additional
patents. We filed an answer and counterclaimed that the
37
two additional patents were not infringed,
the patents were invalid and the patents were unenforceable. In May 2007, the parties agreed to a
settlement of this litigation for which we agreed to pay a nominal cash amount to Biax.
In May 2006, we received a document subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of
New York requesting records from 2000 to the present relating to our granting of stock options. We
believe that the options at issue in this matter are the same option grants which have been the
subject of investigation by the SEC. We are cooperating with the office of the U.S. Attorney in
connection with this subpoena. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter, but believe the
disposition of the matter will not have a material adverse effect on us or our financial position.
On May 25, 2006, we filed a lawsuit in United States District Court for the District of Delaware
against Linear Technology Corp. (LTC) alleging infringement of three of our patents by LTCs
making, selling and using various products. In addition, we also sought a declaratory judgment
that our products do not infringe eight patents allegedly owned by LTC (the LTC patents) and that
the LTC patents are invalid. On July 28, 2006, LTC filed an answer and counterclaims, denying that
its products infringe the asserted patents and asking the court to declare such patents invalid.
LTC also claimed that we, by making, selling and using various power management products, are
infringing seven of the eight LTC patents. LTC seeks damages in an unspecified amount and
injunctive relief. On August 21, 2006, we filed our answer to LTCs counterclaims, denying all
liability to LTC. The case is currently in the discovery phase and trial is scheduled to begin in
June 2008. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against LTC, and to vigorously defend against
LTCs counterclaims. We are unable at this time to predict the outcome of this litigation;
however, we believe that the final disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse
effect on us or our financial position.
On October 13, 2006, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District
Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of participants in our Investment Partnership
Plan from October 5, 2000 to the present. The complaint named as defendants us, certain officers
and directors, and our Investment Partnership Plan Administration Committee. The complaint alleges
purported violations of federal law in connection with our option granting practices during the
years 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, including breaches of fiduciary duties owed to participants and
beneficiaries of our Investment Partnership Plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, as well as equitable and injunctive relief. We
intend to vigorously defend against these allegations. On November 22, 2006, we and the individual
defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint. On January 8, 2007, the Plaintiff filed
memoranda in opposition. On January 22, 2007, we and the individual defendants filed further
memoranda in support of the motions to dismiss. Although we believe we have meritorious defenses
to the asserted claims, we are unable at this time to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the SEC are
descriptions of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this
report. The description below includes any material changes to and supersedes the description of
the risk factors affecting our business previously disclosed in
Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28,
2006 and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of
our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 3, 2007.
Our future revenue, gross margins and operating results are difficult to predict and may materially
fluctuate.
Our future revenue, gross margins and operating results are difficult to predict and may be
materially affected by a number of factors, including:
|
|
|
changes in customer demand for our products and for end products that incorporate our products; |
|
|
|
|
the timing of new product announcements or introductions by us, our customers or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
competitive pricing pressures; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in manufacturing yields, adequate availability of wafers and other raw materials, and
manufacturing, assembly and test capacity; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that our backlog could decline significantly; |
|
|
|
|
the timing, delay or cancellation of significant customer orders and our ability to manage inventory; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to hire, retain and motivate adequate numbers of engineers and other qualified employees to
meet the demands of our customers; |
|
|
|
|
changes in geographic, product or customer mix; |
|
|
|
|
potential significant litigation-related costs; |
|
|
|
|
the difficulties inherent in forecasting future operating expense levels; |
|
|
|
|
the costs related to compliance with increasing worldwide environmental regulations; |
|
|
|
|
the effect of adverse changes in economic conditions in the United States and international markets; and |
|
|
|
|
the effects of public health emergencies, natural disasters, terrorist activities, international
conflicts and other events beyond our control. |
In addition, the semiconductor market has historically been cyclical and subject to significant
economic downturns. Our business is subject to rapid technological changes and there can be no
assurance, depending on the mix of future business, that products stocked in inventory will not be
rendered obsolete before we ship them. As a result of these and other factors, there can be no
assurance that we will not experience material fluctuations in future revenue, gross margins and
operating results on a quarterly or annual basis. In addition, if our revenue, gross margins and
operating results do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the market
price of our common stock may decline.
Long-term contracts are not typical for us and reductions, cancellations or delays in orders for
our products could adversely affect our operating results.
In certain markets where end-user demand may be particularly volatile and difficult to predict,
some customers place orders that require us to manufacture product and have it available for
shipment, even though the customer is unwilling to make a binding commitment to purchase all, or
even any, of the product. At any given time, this situation could affect a portion of our backlog.
As a result, we may incur inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales and are
subject to the risk of cancellations of orders leading to a sharp reduction of sales and backlog.
Further, those orders may be for products that meet the customers unique requirements so that
those canceled orders would, in addition, result in an inventory of unsaleable
39
products, resulting
in potential inventory write-offs. As a result of lengthy manufacturing cycles for certain of the
products that are subject to these uncertainties, the amount of unsaleable product could be
substantial. Reductions, cancellations or delays in orders for our products could adversely affect
our operating results.
Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to improve our products, develop and market
new products, and identify and enter new markets.
Our success significantly depends on our continued ability to improve our products and develop and
market new products. Product development and enhancement is often a complex, time-consuming and
costly process involving significant investment in research and development. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new and improved products in a timely or
efficient manner or that new and improved products, if developed, will achieve market acceptance.
Our products generally must conform to various evolving and sometimes competing industry standards,
which may adversely affect our ability to compete in certain markets or require us to incur
significant costs. In addition, our customers generally impose very high quality and
reliability standards on our products, which often change and may be difficult or costly to
satisfy. Any inability to satisfy such customer quality standards or comply with industry standards
and technical requirements may adversely affect demand for our products and our results of
operations. In addition, our growth is dependent on our continued ability to identify and penetrate
new markets where we have limited experience and competition is intense. There can be no assurance
that the markets we serve will grow in the future, that our existing and new products will meet the
requirements of these markets, that our products will achieve customer acceptance in these markets,
that competitors will not force prices to an unacceptably low level or take market share from us,
or that we can achieve or maintain profits in these markets. Furthermore, a decline in demand in
one or several of our end-user markets could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our
products and our results of operations. Also, some of our customers in these markets are less
established, which could subject us to increased credit risk.
We may not be able to compete successfully in markets within the semiconductor industry in the
future.
Many other companies offer products that compete with our products. Some have greater financial,
manufacturing, technical and marketing resources than we have. Some of our competitors may have
better established supply or development relationships with our current and potential customers.
Additionally, some formerly independent competitors have been purchased by larger companies. Our
competitors also include emerging companies selling specialized products in markets we serve.
Competition is based on design and quality of products, product performance, features and
functionality, and price, with the relative importance of these factors varying among products,
markets and customers. Existing or new competitors may develop products or technologies that more
effectively address the demands of our customers and markets with enhanced features and
functionality, lower power requirements, greater levels of integration or lower cost. Increased
competition in certain markets has resulted in and may continue to result in declining average
selling prices, reduced gross margins and loss of market share in such markets. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future against existing or new
competitors, or that our operating results will not be adversely affected by increased price
competition.
We rely on third-party subcontractors and manufacturers for some industry-standard wafers and
assembly/test services, and therefore cannot control their availability or conditions of supply.
We rely, and plan to continue to rely, on assembly and test subcontractors and on third-party wafer
fabricators to supply most of our wafers that can be manufactured using industry-standard submicron
processes. This reliance involves several risks, including reduced control over availability,
capacity utilization, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, quality assurance and costs.
Additionally, we utilize third-party wafer fabricators as sole-source suppliers, primarily Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. These suppliers manufacture components in accordance with our
proprietary designs and specifications. We have no written supply agreements with these sole-source
suppliers and purchase our custom components through individual purchase orders. In addition, these
suppliers often provide manufacturing services to our competitors and therefore periods of
increased industry demand may result in capacity constraints. If these sole-source suppliers are
unable or
unwilling to manufacture and deliver sufficient quantities of components to us on the time schedule
and of the quality that we require, we may be forced to seek to engage additional or replacement
suppliers, which could result in additional expenses and delays in product development or shipment
of product to our customers.
40
We may not be able to satisfy increasing demand for our products, and increased production may lead
to overcapacity and lower prices.
The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry has resulted in sustained and short-term periods
when demand for our products has increased or decreased rapidly. During these periods of rapid
increases in demand, our available capacity may not be sufficient to satisfy the available demand.
In addition, we may not be able to expand our workforce and operations in a sufficiently timely
manner, procure adequate resources, or locate suitable third-party suppliers, to respond
effectively to changes in demand for our existing products or to the demand for new products
requested by our customers, and our current or future business could be materially and adversely
affected. Conversely, if we expand our operations and workforce too rapidly or procure excessive
resources in anticipation of increased demand for our products, and such demand does not
materialize at the pace at which we expect, our operating results may be adversely affected. These
capacity expansions by us and other semiconductor manufacturers could also lead to overcapacity in
our target markets which could lead to price erosion that would adversely impact our operating
results.
Our revenue may not increase enough to offset the expense of additional capacity.
We, and the semiconductor industry generally, expand production facilities and access to
third-party foundries in response to periods of increased demand which can cause operating expenses
to increase. Should customer demand fail to increase or should we enter a period of reduced
customer demand, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely impacted as a
result of increased operating expenses, reduced margins, underutilization of capacity or asset
impairment charges.
Our semiconductor products are complex and may contain undetected defects which could result in
significant costs, claims and damage to our reputation, and adversely affect the market acceptance
of our products.
Semiconductor products are highly complex and may contain undetected defects when they are
first introduced or as new versions are developed. We invest significant resources in the testing
of our products; however, if any of our products contain defects, we may be required to incur
additional development and remediation costs, including pursuant to indemnification provisions in
our customer contracts. These problems may divert our technical and other resources from other
product development efforts and could result in claims against us by our customers or others,
including liability for costs associated with product recalls. If any of our products contains
defects, or has reliability, quality or compatibility problems, our reputation may be damaged,
which could make it more difficult for us to sell our products to existing and prospective
customers and could adversely affect our operating results.
We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights, which may limit our ability to
compete effectively.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We primarily
rely on patent, mask work, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure
agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary technologies and processes. Despite our
efforts to protect our proprietary technologies and processes, it is possible that competitors or
other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose our technologies and processes.
Moreover, the laws of foreign countries in which we design, manufacture, market and sell our
products may afford little or no effective protection of our proprietary technology.
There can be no assurance that the claims allowed in our issued patents will be sufficiently broad
to protect our technology. In addition, any of our existing or future patents may be challenged,
invalidated or circumvented. As such, any rights granted under these patents may not provide us
with meaningful protection. We may not have foreign patents or pending applications corresponding
to our U.S. patents and applications. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in
foreign countries may not be available. If our patents do not adequately protect our technology,
our competitors may be able to offer products similar to ours. Our competitors may also be able to
develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. Other companies or
individuals have obtained patents covering a variety of semiconductor designs and processes, and we
might be required to obtain licenses under some of these patents or be precluded from making and
selling the infringing products, if such patents are found to be valid. There can be no assurance
that we would be able to obtain licenses, if required, upon commercially reasonable terms, or at
all.
We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and strategic
partners. We also try to control access to and distribution of our technologies, documentation and
other proprietary information. Despite these efforts, internal or external parties may attempt to
copy, disclose, obtain or use our products, services or technology without our
41
authorization. Also,
former employees may seek employment with our business partners, customers or competitors, and
there can be no assurance that the confidential nature of our proprietary information will be
maintained in the course of such future employment.
We are involved in frequent litigation, including regarding intellectual property rights, which
could be costly to bring or defend and could require us to redesign products or pay significant
royalties.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation involving patent and
other intellectual property rights, including claims arising under our contractual obligations to
indemnify our customers. We have received from time to time, and may receive in the future, claims
from third parties asserting that our products or processes infringe their patents or other
intellectual property rights. In the event a third party makes a valid intellectual property claim
against us and a license is not available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we
could be forced either to redesign or to stop production of products incorporating that
intellectual property, and our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
Litigation may be necessary to enforce our patents or other of our intellectual property rights or
to defend us against claims of infringement, and this litigation could be costly and divert the
attention of our key personnel. We could be subject to warranty or product liability claims that
could lead to significant costs and expenses as we defend such claims or pay damage awards. While
we maintain product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be
available or adequate to protect against all such claims. We may incur costs and expenses relating
to a recall of one of our customers products containing one of our products. See Note 10 in the
Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for information concerning certain pending litigation that involves us. An adverse outcome in
these matters or other litigation could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position or on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in the period in
which the litigation is resolved.
If we do not retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be
limited.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers
and key management and technical personnel, particularly our experienced engineers, and on our
ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. The competition for these
employees is intense. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could have a
material adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, there could be a material adverse
effect on us should the turnover rates for engineers and other key personnel increase significantly
or if we are unable to continue to attract qualified personnel. We do not maintain any key person
life insurance policy on any of our officers or employees.
To remain competitive, we may need to acquire other companies or purchase or license technology
from third parties in order to introduce new products and services or enhance our existing products
and services.
An element of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisitions of businesses,
assets, products or technologies that allow us to complement our existing product offerings, expand
our market coverage, increase our engineering workforce or enhance our technological capabilities.
We may not be able to find businesses that have the technology or resources we need and, if we find
such businesses, may not be able to purchase or license the technology or resources on commercially
favorable terms or at all. Acquisitions and technology licenses are difficult to identify and
complete for a number of reasons, including the cost of potential transactions, competition among
prospective buyers and licensees and the need for regulatory approvals. In order to finance a
potential transaction, we may need to raise additional funds by selling our stock or borrowing
money. We may not be able to find financing on favorable terms, and the sale of our stock may
result in the dilution of our existing shareholders or the issuance of securities with rights that
are superior to the rights of our common stockholders. Acquisitions also involve a number of risks,
including:
42
|
|
|
difficulty integrating acquired technologies, operations and personnel with our existing businesses; |
|
|
|
|
diversion of management attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisitions and integrating the assets; |
|
|
|
|
strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to oversee larger operations; |
|
|
|
|
the future funding requirements for acquired companies, which may be significant; |
|
|
|
|
potential loss of key employees; |
|
|
|
|
exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies; and |
|
|
|
|
increased risk of costly and time-consuming litigation. |
If we are unable to successfully address these risks, we may not realize some or all of the
expected benefits of the acquisition, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.
We rely on manufacturing capacity located in geologically unstable areas, which could affect the
availability of supplies and services.
We, and many companies in the semiconductor industry, rely on internal manufacturing capacity,
wafer fabrication foundries and other sub-contractors in geologically unstable locations around the
world. This reliance involves risks associated with the impact of earthquakes on us and the
semiconductor industry, including temporary loss of capacity, availability and cost of key raw
materials and equipment and availability of key services including transport. Any prolonged
inability to utilize one of our manufacturing facilities, or those of our subcontractors or third
party wafer-fabrication foundries, as a result of fire, natural disaster, unavailability of
electric power or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial condition.
We are exposed to business, economic, political and other risks through our significant worldwide
operations.
During the first six months of fiscal 2007, approximately 73% of our revenue was derived from
customers in international markets. Although we engage in hedging transactions to reduce our
exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, there can be no assurance that our competitive
position will not be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar
against other currencies. Potential interest rate increases, particularly in the United States and
China, as well as high energy costs could have an adverse impact on industrial and consumer
spending patterns and could adversely impact demand for our products. We have manufacturing
facilities outside the United States in Ireland and the Philippines. In addition to being exposed
to the ongoing economic cycles in the semiconductor industry, we are also subject to the economic
and political risks inherent in international operations and their impact on the United States
economy in general, including the risks associated with ongoing uncertainties and political and
economic instability in many countries around the world as well as the economic disruption from
acts of terrorism, and the response to them by the United States and its allies. Other business
risks associated with international operations include increased managerial complexities, air
transportation disruptions, expropriation, currency controls, currency exchange rate movement,
additional costs related to foreign taxes, tariffs and freight rate increases, exposure to
different business practices and legal standards, particularly with respect to price protection and
intellectual property, trade and travel restrictions, pandemics, import and export license
requirements and restrictions, difficulties in staffing and managing worldwide operations, and
accounts receivable collections.
Our future operating results are dependent on the performance of independent distributors and sales
representatives.
A significant portion of our sales are through independent distributors that are not under our
control. These independent distributors generally represent product lines offered by several
companies and thus could reduce their sales efforts applied to our products or terminate their
representation of us. We generally do not require letters of credit from our distributors and are
not protected against accounts receivable default or bankruptcy by these distributors. Our
inability to collect open accounts receivable could adversely affect our results of operations.
Termination of a significant distributor, whether at our initiative or
the distributors initiative, could disrupt our current business. If we are unable to find suitable
replacements in the event of terminations by significant distributors or sales representatives, our
operating results could be adversely affected.
43
Our manufacturing processes are highly complex and may be interrupted.
We have manufacturing processes that utilize a substantial amount of technology as the fabrication
of integrated circuits is a highly complex and precise process. Minute impurities, contaminants in
the manufacturing environment, difficulties in the fabrication process, defects in the masks used
in the wafer manufacturing process, manufacturing equipment failures, wafer breakage or other
factors can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous dice on each wafer
to be nonfunctional. While we have significant expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, it is
possible that some processes could become unstable. This instability could result in manufacturing
delays and product shortages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position
or results of operations.
Our stock price may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the
future, as it may be significantly affected by the following factors:
|
|
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and operating results; |
|
|
|
|
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to
perform in line with such estimates or our published guidance; |
|
|
|
|
changes in market valuations of other semiconductor companies; |
|
|
|
|
announcements by us or our competitors of significant new products,
technical innovations, acquisitions or dispositions, litigation or
capital commitments; |
|
|
|
|
departures of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
actual or perceived noncompliance with corporate responsibility or
ethics standards by us or any of our employees, officers or directors;
and |
|
|
|
|
negative media publicity targeting us or our competitors. |
The stock market has historically experienced volatility, especially within the semiconductor
industry, that often has been unrelated to the performance of particular companies. These market
fluctuations may cause our stock price to fall regardless of our operating results.
