중동 분쟁과 AI 보안 리스크 서술은 강해졌고, IEEPA 관세 환급과 중국 반덤핑 조사 관련 불확실성은 일부 줄어든 것으로 서술이 바뀌었습니다.
주목할 변화
- 강화중동 분쟁 표현 격상이란 관련 상황을 "긴장 고조"에서 "적대 행위"로, 연료 시설 가동 중단을 초래한 분쟁을 "최근"에서 "진행 중"으로 바꿨습니다. 일시적 사건이 아니라 현재 이어지는 리스크로 본다는 뜻입니다. 원문: "military activity and hostilities involving Iran", "Ongoing armed conflicts".
- 강화수출 허가 지연 원인 추가미국 정부의 수출 허가 처리 지연 원인에 정부 인력 이탈을 새로 넣었습니다. 원문: "increased attrition of U.S. government employees".
- 강화AI 도구 보안 위협 범위 확대시스템·데이터·코드·외부 서비스와 상호작용하는 AI 도구나 모델이 위협 경로라고 명시했습니다. 기밀정보 리스크도 "무단 공개·사용·처리"로 구체화했습니다. 원문: "tools or models that interact with systems, data, code or third-party services", "unauthorized disclosure, use or processing".
- 완화IEEPA 관세 환급 일부 수령직전에는 환급받을 자격이 있다는 수준이었는데, 이번에는 환급을 청구했고 일부를 실제로 받았다고 밝혔습니다. 대법원의 위헌 판결 언급 문장은 삭제됐고, 추가 환급의 시기와 규모는 여전히 불확실하다고 적었습니다. 원문: "has received some of the requested refunds to date".
- 완화중국 반덤핑 조사 관련 관세 가능성 하향중국 정부의 조사 중단이 "예상된다"에서 2025년 11월 1일 발표된 무역 합의로 "중단에 합의했다"로 바뀌었습니다. 조사가 재개될 경우의 추가 관세도 "가능성이 높다"에서 "부과될 수 있다"로 낮췄습니다. 원문: "additional tariffs may be imposed".
- 완화EU→미국 개인정보 이전 리스크 서술 축소Schrems II 판결 경위와 "미국으로 데이터를 이전하지 못하면 사업에 상당한 부정적 영향"이라는 문장을 삭제했습니다. 대신 비용 증가와 제재 가능성 위주의 짧은 문단으로 대체했습니다. 원문: "compliance could increase our costs ... or expose us to fines or other sanctions".
읽는 법
관세와 중국 관련 항목은 실제 진전(환급 일부 수령, 무역 합의)을 반영해 표현이 누그러졌습니다. 반면 중동 분쟁, 미국 행정 역량, AI 보안처럼 회사가 통제하기 어려운 외부 리스크는 표현이 강해졌습니다. 개인정보 문단 축소는 리스크가 줄었다기보다 서술을 정리한 성격도 있어 보이므로, 다음 보고서에서 이 방향이 유지되는지 함께 확인하는 것이 좋습니다.
원문 비교
- If other jurisdictions enact similar cross-border personal data transfer or local personal data residency laws, compliance could increase our costs, limit our ability to collaborate with parties that are subject to European and other data privacy and security laws, require additional personal data processing capabilities in Europe, and/or elsewhere, or expose us to fines or other sanctions.
- •impact of evolving risks related to artificial
intelligence,intelligence (AI), cybersecurity and data privacy across our products, operations, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, talent, and transactions; - •risks related to internal use of
artificial intelligence (AI);AI; - •our ability to successfully transition to more advanced process technologies to reduce manufacturing costs or introduce more advanced products, and the ability to produce these products at desired
volumes, such as our first 3nm PCIe Gen 6 Switch;volumes; - On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs collected pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unconstitutional. On April 20, 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began processing refunds through its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) portal. Although Microchip has submitted claims for refunds of certain previously paid tariffs under IEEPA and has received some of the requested refunds to date, the timing and amount of any additional recoveries remain uncertain. Accordingly, we cannot predict the timing, likelihood, or amount of any future refunds or other recoveries that may ultimately be realized.
- We rely on outside wafer foundries for a significant portion of our wafer fabrication needs. Specifically, during the first three months of fiscal 2027, approximately 67% of our net sales came from products that were produced at outside wafer foundries compared to 65% of our net sales in fiscal 2026. We also use several contractors for a portion of the assembly and testing of our products. Specifically, during the first three months of fiscal
2026,2027, approximately33%32% of our assembly requirements and31%29% of our test requirements were performed by third-partycontractorscontractors, compared to approximately 33%of our assembly requirementsand33% of our test requirements31%, respectively, during fiscal2025.2026. We have long-term commitment contracts with certain of our third-party suppliers to help ensure that we receive capacity from them to manufacture wafers and assemble and test our products. We may decide to still purchase products or services under these contracts even though we currently may not need all of them in order to take advantage of contract credits. This could result in excess inventory and inventory reserve charges that may negatively affect our gross margin and results of operations. Additionally, if we have a need for greater manufacturing, assembly or test capacity in the future, or greater capacity for certain types of products, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the necessary allocation of capacity from our wafer foundries and other contractors with the process technologies that we need, or that such capacity will be available on acceptable terms. As our manufacturing subcontractors move to more advanced process technologies over time, we may find that they do not invest in some of the trailing edge process technologies on which a large portion of our products are manufactured. As more companies focus on building leading edge products, our manufacturing subcontractors are becoming capacity constrained in their ability to manufacture such products. These events may limit the amounts of net sales that we can achieve or require us to make significant investments to be able to manufacture these products in our own facilities or at other foundries and assembly and testing contractors, but we believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient capacity from our manufacturing subcontractors. - Sales to foreign customers account for a substantial portion of our net sales. During the first three months of fiscal
2025,2027, approximately75%76% of our net sales were made to foreign customers, including17%19% in China and16%15% in Taiwan. During fiscal 2026, approximately 75% of our net sales were made to foreign customers, including 18% in China and 15% in Taiwan. - Having a strong position in the Chinese market is a key component of our global growth strategy. Although our sales in the Chinese market have been strong in the past, competition in China is intense. Throughout
fiscal 2024,fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, changes in the Chinese market adversely impacted our sales volumes in China. As discussed above, the trade relationship between the U.S. and China remains challenging and could worsen, economic conditions in China remain uncertain, and we are unable to predict whether such uncertainty will continue or worsen in future periods. Any increase in tariffs on semiconductors and raw materials that have the U.S. as their country of origin could lower demand for our products in China and other countries. For example, on September 13, 2025, China's Ministry of Commerce initiated an antidumping investigation of imports into China of analog semiconductors originating in the United States. While we were not a subject of this investigation and the Chinese governmentis expectedagreed to suspend these investigationspursuant to the latestas part of a tradedeal with the U.S.,agreement announced on November 1, 2025, the Chinese government may resume this investigation at its election. If this takes place, additional tariffsare likely tomay be imposedas a result of this investigationand could have an adverse impact on our revenue. Also, on April 13, 2026, China's State Council released a regulation intended to be a retaliatory measure to combat the extraterritorial application of foreign laws pertaining to trade controls, sanctions, and similar measures. This regulation may expose us to potential civil liability, administrative measures, and other remedial actions if the Chinese government determines that we caused harm by complying with certain foreign laws. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial conditions. - •changes in laws related to taxes, trade,
environmental,environment, health and safety, technical standards, climate change, and consumer protection; - Geopolitical instability and conflicts in the Middle East, including military activity and
escalating tensionshostilities involving Iran, create significant uncertainty for global markets, including energy and materials markets, and could adversely impact our operations and financial results. The region is a major source of global oil production and a critical transit point for maritime shipping routes. Hostilities, infrastructure damage, sanctions, or blockages of key shipping lanes could disrupt oil production and distribution, reducing the availability of fuel or increasing fuel prices.RecentOngoing armed conflicts have already forced key state sponsored fuel production facilities in the region offline, contributing to global fuel price volatility. - Integrated circuit manufacturing processes are complex and sensitive to many factors, including contaminants in the manufacturing environment or materials used, the performance of our personnel and equipment, and other quality issues. As is typical in the industry, we have from time to time experienced lower than anticipated manufacturing yields. Our operating results will suffer if we are unable to maintain yields at or above approximately the current levels. This could include delays in the recognition of revenue, loss of revenue, and penalties for failure to meet shipment deadlines. Our operating results are adversely affected when we operate below normal capacity. In the first three months of fiscal
20262027 and in fiscal2025,2026, we operated at below normal capacity levels resulting in unabsorbed capacity charges of$200.8$38.5 million and$173.0$200.8 million, respectively. - Sales to distributors accounted for approximately 52% of our net sales in the first three months of fiscal 2027 and approximately 47% of our net sales in fiscal 2026. With the exception of certain orders placed under our LTSAs, we do not have long-term purchase agreements with our distributors, and we and our distributors may each terminate our relationship with little or no advance notice.
- When we acquire a business, a substantial portion of the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price which is allocated to goodwill is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. As of
March 31,June 30, 2026, we had goodwill of $6.70 billion and net intangible assets of$2.03$2.00 billion. We review our indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, for impairment annually in the fourth fiscal quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets is more likely than not impaired. Factors that may be considered in assessing whether goodwill or intangible assets may be impaired include a decline in our stock price or market capitalization, reduced estimates of future cash flows and slower growth rates in our industry. Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on experience and to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance. Because we operate in highly competitive environments, projections of our future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from our actual results. ThroughMarch 31,June 30, 2026, we have never recorded a goodwill impairment charge. There were no material intangible asset impairment charges in the first three months of fiscal2026.2027. If in future periods, we determine that our goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we will be required to write down these assets which would have a negative effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. - AI also amplifies cybersecurity threats. As AI and machine learning evolve, they may lead to the development of dramatically more effective security tools, and cyber‑attackers may leverage these tools to enhance attack methods, identify novel security vulnerabilities, develop malicious code, sophisticated phishing attempts, and convincing deep fakes that manipulate our content or the voices or images of our leaders. Threats may also be introduced by our employees', our
customers’,customers', or ourpartners’partners' use of AI tools, includingwheretools or models that interact with systems, data, code or third-party services, or by AI‑generated source code incorporated into products or systems that introduces malicious code or security vulnerabilities. We may be unaware of an incident, its magnitude or its effects until significant harm is done. - Our internal and partner use of AI tools presents further risks. Employees, consultants or partners may use AI tools in a manner posing risks to the unauthorized disclosure, use or processing of proprietary, confidential or regulated information and to intellectual property rights. The use of AI tools may result in allegations or claims relating to violation of third‑party IP rights, unauthorized access to or use or processing of proprietary, confidential or personal information, failure to comply with open‑source software requirements, or other legal or contractual obligations. AI tools may also generate unreliable, inaccurate, inferential, unexplainable or biased outputs that could lead to errors in decision‑making, product development or other business activities.
- We have relied mainly on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), for transfers of personal information from the EEA to the U.S. or other countries.
TheWhile the EU Commission and the U.S. haveestablished a successor framework to the Privacy Shield,developed the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF),butit already has faced a legal challenge and may face additional legal challenges. If we are unable to implement sufficient safeguards to ensure that our transfers of personal information from the EEA are lawful, we may face increased exposure to regulatory actions and substantial fines and injunctions against processing personal information from the EEA. The loss of our ability to lawfully transfer personal data out of the EEA may cause reluctance or refusal by European customers to communicate with us as they are currently, and we may be required to increase our data processing capabilities in the EEA at significant expense. - Furthermore, the GDPR and the U.K. equivalent of the GDPR expose us to two parallel data protection regimes in Europe, each of which potentially authorizes fines and enforcement actions for certain violations. Substantial fines may be imposed for breaches of data protection requirements,
whichwhich, under the GDPR, can be up to 4% of acompany’scompany's worldwiderevenueannual turnover or 20 million Euros, whichever is greater, and classes of individuals or consumer protection organizations may initiate litigation related to our processing of their personal data. Although the U.K. data protection regime currently permits data transfers from the U.K. to the EEA and other thirdcountries,countries covered by a European Commission 'adequacydecision'decision,' by the U.K.'s own adequacy regulations, or through the continued use of SCCs and binding corporate rules, these laws and regulations are subject to change, and any such changes could have adverse implications for our transfer of personal data from the U.K. to the EEA and other third countries. Additionally, new and updated AI regulations could impose onerous obligations that may disadvantage us and require us to change our business practices. - In the U.S., federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and handling, and cybersecurity. For example,
California has enactedtheCCPA, which creates new individual privacy rights for California consumers (as defined in the law)CCPA andplacesits corresponding regulations place increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling personal data of consumers or households. Additionally, numerous other states have proposed or enacted laws addressing privacy andsecurity, many of which impose obligations similar to those of the CCPA.security. The U.S. federal government also has rules, regulations and laws regarding handling of government-regulated data (e.g., controlled unclassified information, classified data, and export-controlled data) and continues to contemplate federal privacy legislation. The CCPA, and other evolving legislation relating to privacy, data protection, and information security may impact our business activities and require us to modify our policies and practices. - We do not typically enter into long-term contracts with our non-distributor customers, and therefore we cannot be certain about future order levels from our customers. Further, except for a few LTSAs that are still in place, the customer contracts that we enter into generally do not require any specified level of purchases and allow customers to cancel orders or terminate the contract with limited restrictions. Under
ourcertain LTSAs, customers may cancel orders in the event of price increases. While we had approximately101,000102,000 customers, and our ten largest direct customers accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenue in the first three months of fiscal2026,2027, andtwoseveral of our toptendirect customers are contract manufacturers that perform manufacturing services for many customers, cancellation of customer contracts could have an adverse impact on our revenue and profits. For example, due to uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced an increase in order cancellations and requests to reschedule deliveries to future dates in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Also, many of our customers felt the effects of slowing economic activity and increasing business uncertainty, and customer requests to push-out or cancel backlog and our accommodation of their requests increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and continued throughout fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025. - A significant portion of our sales involve export and import activities. Our U.S.-manufactured products or products based on U.S. technology or U.S. software, or products incorporating U.S. content may be subject to laws and regulations administrated by various agencies including those under the U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, and Treasury, that govern international trade, including but not limited to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Export Administration Regulations (EAR), International Traffic in Arms Regulations, economic embargoes and tariffs or other trade sanctions against certain countries and parties. Licenses or license exceptions are often required for the shipment of our products to certain countries as well as for releases of our technology and software to foreign nationals. Our inability to timely obtain a license for any reason, not limited to a delay in license processing due to a federal government shutdown, or changes in government policies of approval or denial of licenses, could cause a delay in scheduled shipments which could have a material adverse impact on our revenue within the quarter of a shutdown, and in following quarters depending on the extent that license processing is delayed. Further, determination by a government that we have failed to comply with trade regulations or anti-bribery regulations can result in penalties which may include denial of export privileges, fines, penalties, and seizure of products, or loss of reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, sales and earnings. A change in laws and regulations could restrict our ability to transfer
productproducts to previously permitted countries, customers, distributors or others. For example, in October 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a regulation that imposed restrictions on activities in or involving China, Hong Kong, and Macau related to advanced computing integrated circuits (ICs), advanced-node ICs, computers and other commodities that contain such ICs, certain semiconductor manufacturing items, and supercomputers. The regulation also expanded controls on transactions involving semiconductor manufacturing and semiconductor equipment manufacturing end-uses. Further, this regulation and others expanded the scope of foreign-produced items subject to license requirements under U.S. law. - In November 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce added restrictions and export license requirements to end uses and product categories previously described in the October 2022 regulation. To date, the U.S. Department of Commerce has issued a number of regulations that further restrict transactions involving semiconductors and related products. In addition, the U.S. Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury have been adding parties to the restricted parties lists, and imposing prohibitions and export licensing requirements on transactions with them and entities that are 50% or more owned by them. The BIS has temporarily suspended its 50% Affiliates Rule, until November 10, 2026. The result of these additional restrictions and the change in the U.S. administration in 2025 and increased attrition of U.S. government employees is that there has been a slow-down in the processing of export license applications by the U.S. Government and an increased burden on us to conduct additional due diligence imposed by the regulations, as well as by sanctions imposed on Russia for invading Ukraine. At this time, there has not been a material impact on our ability to obtain necessary licenses for exportation. A previous example occurred in fiscal 2020, when the U.S. Department of Commerce effectively banned U.S. companies from selling products or transferring technology to certain Chinese companies, including Huawei and their related companies worldwide. In fiscal 2020, the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation prohibited U.S. governmental agencies from buying equipment incorporating covered telecommunications equipment, as a substantial component or critical technology, where the technology came from certain Chinese companies. In July 2020, this was expanded to prohibit U.S. governmental agencies from entering into a contract with any company that uses covered telecommunications equipment whether or not the Chinese technology is related to the procurement. Since then, similar restrictions have been imposed under the various versions of the National Defense and Authorization Act when the supply chain includes certain Chinese entities. The EAR also effectively prohibits sales of items for a "military end use," to a "military end-user," or for a "military intelligence" end-user, or end-use to certain countries, such as Belarus, Burma, Cambodia, Cuba, China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria and Venezuela. The U.S. Department of Commerce also currently imposes restrictions on importation and sale of certain Vehicle Connectivity System (VCS) hardware and covered software designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons with a nexus to China, Hong Kong, Macau, or Russia. Any of the foregoing changes to the regulatory requirements could adversely impact our operational costs due to the administrative impacts of complying with these regulations and may limit those with whom we conduct business. Any one or more of these sanctions, future sanctions, a change in laws or regulations, or a prohibition on shipment of our products or transfer of our technology to significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Increased tariffs on our customers' products could adversely impact their sales, and increased tariffs on our products in comparison to those of our competitors could each result in lower demand for our products. Further, governments may impose restrictions on the sale to certain customers of our products, or any applications containing our products. For example, in April 2025 the Chinese government
hasannounced restrictions relating tosalesthe sale of certain raw materials andto sales ofproducts containing certainproductscomponents made by Micron, and they may direct companies within China to purchase Chinese-made products. The Chinese government may also re-initiate the suspended antidumping investigation into imports of analog chips originating in the United States and aggressively enforce the new regulation intended to combat the extraterritorial application of foreign trade controls, sanctions and other measures, which would likely have an adverse impact on our revenue if additional tariffs are imposed by the Chinese government on products subject to the investigation. Similar restrictions on our products or the products of our customers or suppliers could negatively impact our business and financial results. It is also possible that evolving U.S. export controls may encourage our non-U.S. customers to purchase from companies not subject to U.S. export controls, thereby harming our business, market position, and financial results. Excessive export controls increase the risk of investing in U.S. advanced semiconductor products, because by the time a new product is ready for market, it may be subject to new unilateral export controls restricting its sale. At the same time, such controls may increase investment in foreign competitors, which would be less likely to be restricted by U.S. controls. - In May 2023, we received a proposed income adjustment from the Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (IRB) for fiscal 2020. In December 2023, we received a Notice of Assessment from the IRB asserting the same proposed income adjustment. In March 2025, we entered into a Consent Judgment before the High Court, agreeing that the dispute will be heard before the Special Commissioners of Income Tax (SCIT). It was also agreed that the payment on the taxes assessed is stayed and the IRB will pause all enforcement and proceedings against the collection of the taxes assessed until the appeal before the SCIT is concluded. If the adjustment is upheld by the highest court that has jurisdiction over this matter in Malaysia, it could result in income taxes and penalties up to MYR 1.9 billion (approximately
$480.2$474.7 million based on the exchange rate as ofMarch 31,June 30, 2026). The disputed amounts largely relate to the characterization of certain assets. The timing of adjudicating this matter is uncertain but could occur in the next 18 months. The ultimate outcome of disputes of this nature is uncertain, and if the IRB were to prevail on its assertions, the assessed tax, penalties, and deficiency interest could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. - In recent years, there has been an increased focus on corporate responsibility matters, including greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related risks, renewable energy, water stewardship, waste management, data privacy, cybersecurity, trade controls, responsible sourcing and supply chain, use of products for illegal or unethical purposes, human rights, and social
responsibility.responsibility, especially in Europe and North America. We are committed to corporate responsibility and actively manage these issues in accordance with applicable law and including through our guiding values and our internal policies. As an example, since we do not support the actions of Russia against Ukraine, in March 2022 we stopped selling products to customers and distributors located in Russia and Belarus. However, we have been made aware that there are entities in Russia that indirectly obtained our products after March 2022 despite the preventative measures we took and continue to take. Though we continue to improve our processes and procedures to prevent the unauthorized flow of our products, our actions have not been fully successful. We operate in an extensive, ever-changing global supply chain, an expectation of complete traceability of standard semiconductor products to every end use and prevention of product misuse and diversion is unachievable. Thus, despite our efforts, our products may be used for illegal or objectionable applications and third parties may engage in conduct that we do not support or condone. - The amount, timing, and execution of repurchases of shares of our common stock may fluctuate based on the share price of our common stock, general business and market conditions, tax regulations impacting share repurchases and other factors including our operating results, level of cash flow, leverage ratios, capital expenditures and dividend payments on our common stock and preferred stock. Although our Board of Directors has authorized share repurchases of up to $4.00 billion, of which $1.56 billion is still available, the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares. We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase authorization will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The repurchase authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion and may affect the trading price of our common stock and increase volatility. We did not repurchase any shares in
fiscal 2026.the June 2026 quarter. - As of
March 31,June 30, 2026, the principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness was$5.54$5.40 billion. AtMarch 31,June 30, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, which provides $2.25 billion of revolving loan commitments that terminate in 2030, and$349.0$211.0 million outstanding principal amount under our Commercial Paper program. As ofMarch 31,June 30, 2026, we had $3.00 billion in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and $2.19 billion in aggregate principal of Convertible Debt outstanding. We intend to finance the repayment of our fixed rate debt maturing within the next 12 months using new fixed rate debt, new notes or convertible debt or by using available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, our Commercial Paper program or other instruments. Changes in interest rates will have a more significant impact on our interest expense if we refinance our fixed rate debt with variable rate debt. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our current or future debt on reasonable terms, if at all. - Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, or to refinance our indebtedness, including our outstanding Senior Notes, Convertible Debt, and Commercial Paper, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, competitive and other factors. Our business may not continue to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt and to fund capital expenditures, dividend payments, share repurchases or acquisitions. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, due to financial, contractual, regulatory, or other reasons, we may be required to reduce or suspend dividends, share repurchases, or undertake alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on onerous or highly dilutive terms. In several recent quarters, we have used borrowings to finance a portion of our quarterly dividend payments and we may
continue todo so again in future periods. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Our Senior Notes and Commercial Paper are rated by certain major credit rating agencies. These credit ratings impact our cost of borrowing and our ability to access the capital markets and are based on our financial performance and financial metrics including debt levels. While we have maintained our investment grade rating, in March 2025 we were downgraded by one rating agency and there is no assurance that we will maintain our current credit ratings. A downgrade of our credit rating by a major credit rating agency could result in increased borrowing costs and could adversely affect our ability to access the debt markets to refinance our existing debt or finance future debt. Our maintenance of substantial levels of debt could adversely affect our ability to take advantage of opportunities and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. - Although Microchip was the importer of record for products that were subject to tariffs imposed under IEEPA and should be entitled to a refund, the timing and the amount of any such recovery is not yet clear. As such, this could have a favorable impact on our financial position, operations, or cash flows, but we cannot predict the timing, likelihood, or amount of any refunds or other recoveries we may realize.
- Specifically, during fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, approximately 65% and 64%, respectively, of our net sales came from products that were produced at outside wafer foundries.
- Sales to distributors accounted for approximately 47% of our net sales in fiscal 2026 and approximately 45% of our net sales in fiscal 2025.
- However, the Court of Justice of the EU in a July 2020 decision (Schrems II) invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (Privacy Shield) and also called for stricter conditions in the use of the SCCs. Following the Schrems II decision, certain data protection authorities in the EU have issued statements advising companies within their jurisdiction not to transfer personal data to the U.S. under the SCCs. Additionally, other countries outside of the EEA have passed or are considering passing laws requiring local data residency, which could increase the cost and complexity of providing our products in those jurisdictions.
- The CPRA, which became operative January 1, 2023, expands the CCPA’s requirements, including applying to personal information of business representatives and employees and establishing a new regulatory agency to implement and enforce the law.
- If other jurisdictions enact similar cross-border personal data transfer laws and local personal data residency laws, it would increase the cost and complexity of doing business and non-compliance could result in fines or other sanctions from regulators. The inability to transfer personal data to the U.S. could significantly and negatively impact our business operations, limit our ability to collaborate with parties that are subject to European and other data privacy and security laws, or require us to increase our personal data processing capabilities in Europe and/or elsewhere at significant expense. Some European regulators have prevented companies from transferring personal data out of Europe for allegedly violating the GDPR’s cross-border data transfer limitations, which could negatively impact our business.
- Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA-based tariffs are unconstitutional, we cannot predict the timing, likelihood, or amount of any refunds or other recoveries.
- When evaluating Microchip and its business, you should give careful consideration to the factors below, as well as the information provided elsewhere in this Form
10-K10-Q and in other filings we make with the SEC. - •constrained availability from other
electronicsuppliers or disruptions in transit systems impacting our customers' ability to ship their products, which in turn may adversely impact our sales to those customers; - We purchase a substantial portion of our raw materials and equipment from foreign suppliers. Please see the risks related to access to raw materials, components, or equipment on page
16.38. In addition, we own product assembly and testing facilities, and finished goods warehouses near Bangkok, Thailand, which has experienced periods of political instability and severe flooding in the past. There can be no assurance that any future flooding or political instability in Thailand would not have a material adverse impact on our operations. We have a test facility in Calamba, the Philippines, and specialized test and assembly facilities for our aerospace and defense products in Germany, France, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Thailand, and the United States. We use foundries and other foreign contractors for a significant portion of our assembly and testing and wafer fabrication requirements. - Also, Thailand has experienced periods of severe flooding in recent years. While our facilities in Thailand have continued to operate normally, there can be no assurance that future flooding in Thailand would not have a material adverse impact on our operations. If operations at any of our facilities, or our subcontractors' facilities are interrupted, we may not be able to timely shift production to other facilities, and we may need to spend significant amounts to repair or replace our facilities and equipment. Business interruptions would likely cause delays in shipments of products to our customers, and alternate sources for production may be unavailable on acceptable terms. This could result in reduced revenues, cancellation of orders, or loss of customers.

38.60. - We limit our employees' use of AI tools, such as ChatGPT, in accordance with our internal guidelines and procedures. However, the internal governance of the use of these technologies can be challenging, and our employees and consultants may use these tools on an unauthorized basis and our partners may use these tools, which poses additional risks relating to the protection of data, including the potential exposure of our proprietary confidential or other controlled information to unauthorized recipients and the misuse of our or third-party intellectual property. Use of AI tools may result in claims related to violation of privacy or third-party intellectual property rights, unauthorized access to or use of proprietary information, or government regulated data (e.g., controlled unclassified information, ITAR, export-controlled data), and noncompliance with actual or asserted legal, contractual, or other obligations (including open source requirements). AI tools may also produce unreliable, inaccurate, inferential, unexplainable or biased outputs that could lead to errors in our decision-making, product development or other business activities, which could have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our ability to mitigate these risks will depend on our continued effective
maintaining,governance, training, monitoring and enforcement of appropriate guidelines and procedures governing the use of AI tools, and the results of any such use, by us or our partners.
