한 줄 요약

AI가 반도체 설계 방식 자체를 바꿔 마벨의 사업 모델을 흔들 수 있다는 리스크를 새로 별도 항목으로 만들었고, AI 인프라 투자(capex)가 지속되지 못할 가능성과 미·중 무역의 새로운 형태(수익 공유·관세)에 대한 경고도 추가했습니다.

주목할 변화

  • 신규AI가 반도체 산업과 사업 모델을 뒤흔들 위험AI 기반 설계 도구가 칩 개발 비용과 시간을 크게 줄이면 진입장벽이 낮아질 수 있다는 내용입니다. 이 경우 클라우드 대기업과 자동차 업체의 자체 칩 개발("insourcing")이 빨라지고, 경쟁사가 AI를 더 잘 활용해 앞서갈 수 있다고 경고합니다. 원문은 "could fundamentally alter the semiconductor industry and disrupt our business model"이라고 적고 있으며, 제품 수명 단축과 AI 투자 회수 불확실성도 함께 언급합니다.
  • 신규AI 인프라 투자 지속성에 대한 경고데이터센터 시장 리스크 문단에 새 문장이 추가됐습니다. 고객사의 AI 인프라 투자 수준이 장기적으로 유지되지 않을 수 있고, AI 관련 지출이 크게 줄면 실적이 훼손될 가능성이 높다는 내용입니다. 원문은 "current level of capital expenditure (capex) on AI infrastructure may not be sustainable over the long term"입니다. 고객이 capex 속도를 늦추거나 다른 용도로 돌릴 가능성도 새로 언급했습니다. 시장 표기도 'AI, Cloud and 5G'에서 'Data Center and Communications'로 바뀌었습니다.
  • 신규중국 매출에 대한 미 정부 '수익 공유' 리스크2025년 미 정부가 일부 반도체 기업에 대중 수출 허가의 조건으로 중국 매출의 15% 납부를 시사했고, 2026년 1월에는 25% 관세가 포함된 라이선스 정책이 나왔다고 기재했습니다. 마벨은 직접 영향은 없었다고 밝혔습니다. 다만 같은 조치가 적용되면 "erode our gross margins"할 수 있고 중국 판매 축소나 중단까지 검토할 수 있다고 적었습니다. 이 밖에 중국의 희토류 수출 통제 가능성, AI Diffusion Rule 철회에 따른 향후 규제 불확실성도 추가됐습니다.
  • 강화관세와 Section 232 조사반도체 수입에 대한 Section 232 국가안보 조사가 2025년 4월 개시됐다는 점과 그 결과 "may result in additional tariffs and trade restrictions"할 수 있다는 점을 새로 넣었습니다. 거시경제 항목에도 관세와 무역 갈등이 세계 경기 둔화와 공급망 차질로 이어질 수 있다는 문단이 추가됐습니다.
  • 신규사업 재편과 주식 희석차량용 이더넷 사업을 인피니언에 25억 달러에 매각한 사실과 Celestial AI, XConn 인수 완료를 기재했습니다. 두 인수에 일부 주식이 사용됐고, Celestial AI 건과 관련해 "may be required to issue additional shares of our common stock through fiscal 2029"라고 밝혔습니다. 차량용 사업 매각에 맞춰 제조물 책임 문단에서는 자동차 관련 표현이 빠졌습니다.
  • 강화맞춤형(커스텀) 제품의 성과 의존도커스텀 제품 수요는 고객의 실제 적용 환경에서 얼마나 잘 작동하느냐에 달려 있다는 문장이 추가됐습니다. 사양대로 만들어도 "no guarantee that the customer's design will meet their performance needs"라는 점을 명시했습니다.
  • 신규매출채권 팩토링 의존 리스크매출채권을 금융기관에 비소구 조건으로 매각하는 거래를 별도 리스크 항목으로 새로 만들었습니다. 이 거래를 중단하거나 상대 금융기관이 부실해지면 현금흐름에 악영향이 있을 수 있다는 내용입니다.
  • 신규해외 정부 인센티브 조건 리스크2025년 5월 해외 정부 인센티브 신청이 승인됐다고 밝혔습니다. 다만 고용·투자 약속을 지키지 못하거나 사업 계획이 바뀌면 "could result in loss of benefits"가 될 수 있다고 경고했습니다.

읽는 법

이번 개정의 핵심은 AI가 '성장 동력'인 동시에 '위협 요인'으로 명시됐다는 점입니다. 고객의 자체 칩 개발 가속과 AI capex 둔화 가능성은 마벨의 데이터센터·커스텀 칩 사업과 직접 맞닿아 있습니다. 미·중 관련 리스크는 전통적인 수출 통제를 넘어 수익 공유와 관세라는 새로운 형태로 확장됐다는 점에서 눈여겨볼 만합니다. 인수에 따른 추가 주식 발행 가능성은 향후 공시에서 지속적으로 확인할 필요가 있습니다.

  1. 신규SUMMARY OF FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS
    •risks related to the potential impact of AI on our business model and products;
  2. 새 리스크 항목
    Advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt our business model and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  3. 신규Advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt our business model and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
    Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) technologies, including generative AI, could fundamentally alter the semiconductor industry and disrupt our business model and operations. AI-driven tools and platforms are increasingly being deployed across the integrated circuit (“IC”) development lifecycle, including in chip architecture design, electronic design automation (“EDA”), layout optimization, verification, testing, and process node development. If AI-enabled efficiencies substantially reduce the complexity, cost, or time required to design, develop, and manufacture semiconductor products, our competitive position could be materially and adversely affected.
  4. 신규Advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt our business model and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
    AI-driven design tools may lower traditional barriers to entry in the semiconductor industry by enabling new market participants, including technology companies that have not historically engaged in chip design, to develop high-performance, custom semiconductor solutions in-house with reduced reliance on third-party chip suppliers. This trend toward internal chip development, sometimes referred to as "insourcing" or "vertical integration," could reduce demand for our products and erode our market share. In particular, large cloud computing providers, automotive original equipment manufacturers, and other technology-focused enterprises have already begun investing in proprietary chip design capabilities, and advancements in AI may accelerate this trend.
  5. 신규Advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt our business model and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
    AI and ML technologies may enable our existing competitors to achieve design and manufacturing efficiencies that we are unable to match, thereby diminishing or eliminating our current technological or cost advantages. Competitors that more effectively integrate AI into their IC development workflows may be able to bring products to market faster, at lower cost, or with superior performance characteristics compared to our offerings. If we fail to adopt and integrate AI technologies into our own design and development processes at a pace consistent with or faster than our competitors, our products could become less competitive, which would have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability.
  6. 신규Advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt our business model and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
    AI-generated efficiencies may compress product development cycles across the industry, which could shorten the useful commercial life of our existing products and reduce the return on our research and development investments. As AI tools enable more rapid iteration and optimization of chip designs, customers may expect faster product refresh cycles, placing additional pressure on our research and development resources and potentially leading to accelerated inventory obsolescence.
  7. 신규Advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt our business model and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
    Our investment in AI-related capabilities may not yield the anticipated benefits. Developing, acquiring, or integrating AI-driven tools and talent into our operations will require significant capital expenditures and operational resources, and there is no assurance that these investments will generate a return sufficient to justify their cost. Additionally, the deployment of AI technologies in our design and manufacturing processes may introduce new and unforeseen risks, including design errors, security vulnerabilities, intellectual property concerns, and regulatory compliance challenges that could increase our costs, expose us to liability, or delay product launches. See also, “Costs related to defective products could have a material adverse effect on us” and “Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations” for additional information.
  8. 신규Advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt our business model and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
    AI technologies may disrupt the broader semiconductor supply chain and ecosystem in ways that are difficult to predict. For example, AI-driven advances in chiplet-based architectures, advanced packaging, or novel materials science could render certain of our existing product lines, manufacturing processes, or intellectual property less valuable or obsolete. Furthermore, the increasing use of AI in semiconductor design raises complex and evolving questions around intellectual property ownership, patentability, and trade secret protection, and the legal frameworks governing these issues remain uncertain and may develop in ways that are unfavorable to our business. See also, “We may be unable to protect our intellectual property, which would negatively affect our ability to compete” for additional information.
  9. 신규Advances in artificial intelligence could disrupt our business model and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
    We cannot predict the pace or trajectory of AI development or the extent to which AI-driven disruption will affect the semiconductor industry. If we are unable to anticipate and adapt to these changes in a timely and effective manner, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and competitive position could be materially and adversely affected.
  10. 신규We face risks related to recessions, inflation, stagflation and other macroeconomic conditions.
    In addition to the above risks related to economic conditions, the U.S. has implemented a series of tariffs targeting various nations and industries. These announcements have triggered global reactions, affecting markets, slowing global economic growth, and heightening concerns about broader financial instability. Tariffs and escalations of trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners, especially China, and the decoupling of global economies could result in a global economic slowdown and long-term changes to global trade. See also, “Adverse changes in the political, regulatory and economic policies of governments in connection with trade with China and Chinese customers have reduced the demand for our products and damaged our business” and “Changes to U.S. or foreign tax, trade policy, government incentives, tariff and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”
  11. 신규Adverse changes in the political, regulatory and economic policies of governments in connection with trade with China and Chinese customers have reduced the demand for our products and damaged our business.
    In 2025, U.S. government interactions with U.S. semiconductor companies implied that as a condition to obtaining and maintaining export licenses for certain products and technologies destined for China, they remit to the U.S. government a fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the gross revenue derived from such China-related sales. In January 2026, BIS issued a new licensing policy related to chips from certain semiconductor companies, including a twenty-five percent (25%) tariff and other requirements. Historically, restrictions on sales to China were implemented by the U.S. government as national security measures that did not include revenue-sharing arrangements and export licensing was not tied to revenue sharing with the U.S. government. While these U.S. government actions did not impact Marvell, if such revenue sharing were to be imposed on our China-derived revenue, it could erode our gross margins, reduce our pricing flexibility, and potentially prompt us to curtail or discontinue sales in China.
  12. 신규Changes to U.S. or foreign tax, trade policy, government incentives, tariff and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
    On April 14, 2025, the BIS announced the initiation of investigations into the effects on U.S. national security of imports of semiconductors under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. The scope of the investigation includes semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and their derivative products including semiconductor substrates and bare wafers, legacy chips, leading-edge chips, microelectronics, and other components. While the results of this investigation are currently unknown, the investigation may result in additional tariffs and trade restrictions, which may adversely impact our business.
  13. 신규Changes to U.S. or foreign tax, trade policy, government incentives, tariff and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
    On May 1, 2025, we received notification that our application for government incentives in a foreign jurisdiction in which we operate had been approved by the necessary government agencies. Receipt of benefits under incentive agreements may depend on several factors, including but not limited to, our ability to fulfill commitments regarding employment of personnel, investment, or performance of specified activities in the applicable jurisdictions as well as changes in foreign laws. In addition, changes in our business plans, including divestitures, as well as changes to applicable laws, regulations, or government interpretations and audits could result in loss of benefits and termination of or renegotiation of an agreement. If our incentive agreement were terminated or renegotiated, or if our ultimate benefits received is less than we have recognized, results of operations and our financial position could be harmed.
  14. 신규Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry.
    As of January 31, 2026, we had a total of $4.5 billion debt outstanding, which consisted of senior notes outstanding. Our Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated in June 2025 (the “2025 Revolving Credit Facility” or the “2025 Credit Agreement”). We may borrow up to $1.5 billion under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. As of January 31, 2026, the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn.
  15. 신규Changes in existing taxation benefits, tax rules or tax practices may adversely affect our financial results.
    The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (the “2025 Tax Act”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The 2025 Tax Act makes permanent key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including domestic research cost expensing, 100% bonus depreciation and makes modifications to the U.S. International tax framework. As such, the income from all of our foreign subsidiaries continues to be subject to the U.S. tax provisions applicable to Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) regime (which has been recharacterized as the Net Controlled Foreign Corporation (“CFC”) Tested Income regime, beginning in fiscal 2027). Our tax provision for the January 31, 2026 period includes the impact of the 2025 Tax Act. This legislation could significantly affect our future financial results, including our earnings and cash flows.

  18. 신규We are exposed to risks related to our receivables factoring arrangements.
    We enter into factoring arrangements with financial institutions to sell certain of our trade receivables from customers without recourse. If we were to stop entering into these factoring arrangements, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely impacted by delays or failures in collecting certain trade receivables. If the financial institutions we utilize become financially non-viable, it could cause us to cease such factoring arrangements.
  19. 수정SUMMARY OF FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS
    •risks related to our ability to design, develop and introduce new and enhanced products, in particular in the Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), Cloud Data Center and 5G Communications markets, in a timely and effective manner, as well as our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in technology;
  20. 수정SUMMARY OF FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS

    Unfavorable or uncertain conditions in the AI, Cloud Data Center and 5G Communications markets may cause fluctuations in our rate of revenue growth or financial results.
  23. 수정Unfavorable or uncertain conditions in the Data Center and Communications markets may cause fluctuations in our rate of revenue growth or financial results.
    World-wide markets for our AI, Cloud data center and 5G communications related products may not evolve in the manner or in the time periods we anticipate. If domestic and global economic conditions worsen, overall spending on our AI, Cloud data center and 5G communications products may be reduced, which would adversely impact demand for our products in these markets. In addition, unfavorable developments with evolving laws and regulations worldwide related to these products and suppliers may limit global adoption, impede our strategy, and negatively impact our long-term expectations in this area. Even if the AI, Cloud data center and 5G communications markets evolve in the manner or in the time periods we anticipate, if we do not have timely, competitively priced, market-accepted products available to meet our customers’ need in these markets, we may miss a significant opportunity and our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, as a result of the fact that the markets for AI, Cloud data center and 5G communication products are still evolving, demand for these products may be unpredictable and may vary significantly from one period to another. In addition, these markets may not develop as anticipated if AI training and inference costs drop dramatically due to customer adoption of less expensive alternative technologies. Further, the current level of capital expenditure (capex) on AI infrastructure may not be sustainable over the long term and a significant reduction in AI-related spending will likely harm our financial results. In addition, in the future our customers may decelerate or reallocate their capital expenditures for other uses, which could delay or reduce the demand for our products and negatively impact our revenue. In addition, rapidly evolving technologies, including AI, could change the business needs of our customers in the data center and communications markets in ways we are not yet able to predict. AI systems may make unforeseen or unintended discoveries that may disrupt our customers’ existing products, services, or business strategy and potentially render some of our customers current offerings and products obsolete which may have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability. See also, “Our sales are concentrated in a few large customers. If we lose or experience a significant reduction in sales to any of these key customers, if any of these key customers experience a significant decline in market share, or if any of these customers experience significant financial difficulties, our revenue may decrease substantially and our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.” See also, “Adverse changes in the political, regulatory and economic policies of governments in connection with trade with China and Chinese customers have reduced the demand for our products and damaged our business” for additional risks related to export restrictions that may impact certain customers in the AI, Cloud data center and 5G communications markets.
  24. 수정Our sales are concentrated in a few large customers. If we lose or experience a significant reduction in sales to any of these key customers, if any of these key customers experience a significant decline in market share, or if any of these customers experience significant financial difficulties, our revenue may decrease substantially and our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.
    We receive a significant amount of our revenue from a limited number of customers which are comprised of both distributors and direct customers. For example, during fiscal 2025, 2026, there were two customers (one distributor and one direct customer) whose revenues represented 10% or more of total net revenue. In addition, net revenue from our ten (10) largest customers, inclusive of our distributor and direct customers, represented 81% 82% of our total net revenue for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025. 2026. Sales to our largest customers have fluctuated significantly from period to period and year to year and will likely continue to fluctuate in the future, primarily due to the timing and number of design wins with customers, the continued diversification of our customer base as we expand into new markets, adverse changes in the political and economic policies of the U.S. or other governments (such as changes in export policies), and natural disasters or other issues. The loss of any of our large customers or a significant reduction in sales we make to them would likely harm our financial condition and results of operations. For example, some of our large customers depend on rapid and continuous innovation and will select partners who can help them deliver innovation at their pace and if we are unable to deliver on these timelines we may miss significant business opportunities. To the extent one or more of our large customers experience financial challenges, bankruptcy or insolvency, this could have a material adverse effect on our sales and our ability to collect on receivables, which could harm our financial condition and results of operations. See also, “Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies - Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information on our significant customers for the current reporting period.
  25. 수정We face risks related to recessions, inflation, stagflation and other macroeconomic conditions.
    In addition, we are also subject to risk from inflation and increasing market prices of certain components, supplies, and commodity raw materials, which are incorporated into our end products or used by our manufacturing partners or suppliers to manufacture our end products. These components, supplies and commodities have from time to time become restricted, or general market factors and conditions have in the past and may in the future affect pricing of such components, supplies and commodities (such as inflation or supply chain constraints). As trade tensions escalate, our and our customers’ global supply chains may face disruptions, reducing international trade efficiency. See also, “Our gross margin and results of operations may be adversely affected in the future by a number of factors, including decreases in our average selling prices of products over time, shifts in our product mix, or price increases of certain components or third-party services due to inflation, supply chain constraints, or for other reasons.”
  26. 수정We operate in intensely competitive markets. Our failure to compete effectively would harm our results of operations.
    Moreover, the semiconductor industry has experienced increased consolidation over the past several years. For example, Renesas Electronics Corporation acquired Dialog Semiconductor in August 2021, Analog Devices acquired Maxim Integrated Products in 2021, AMD acquired Xilinx, Inc. in February 2022 and Pensando Systems in May 2022, Qualcomm acquired Veonner in April 2022, and Broadcom acquired VMware in November 2023. Consolidation among our competitors has led, and in the future could lead, to a changing competitive landscape, capabilities and market share, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage and harm our results of operations.
  27. 수정No Guarantee of Capacity or Supply
    We have in the past including in the first few quarters of fiscal 2023, and may in the future, experience experienced a number of industry-wide supply constraints affecting the type of high complexity products we provide for data infrastructure. constraints. These supply challenges have in the past, and may in the future, limit limited our ability to fully satisfy demand for some of our products.
  28. 수정No Guarantee of Capacity or Supply
    During the first few quarters of fiscal 2023, supply shortages in the semiconductor industry of multi-layer complex substrates, IC packaging capacity, and specific wafer process node constraints resulted in increased lead times, inability to meet demand, and increased costs. Because of the geographic concentration of some of these suppliers, we are exposed to the risk that their operations may be disrupted by regional events including droughts, earthquakes (particularly in Taiwan and elsewhere in the Pacific Rim close to fault lines), tsunamis or typhoons, severe storms, power outages, or by actual or threatened public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or by political, social or economic instability. In addition, while the Russian invasion of Ukraine has not had a direct material impact on us due to our limited sales to Russia and Ukraine, we are unable to predict the indirect impact this conflict will have on us due to impacts on the supply chain, global and domestic economies, interest rates and stock markets. Moreover, while Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas, a U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, and the current armed conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip Middle East is not currently expected to have a material impact on us, we are unable to predict the full impact this conflict will have on us or our operations in Israel due to impacts on the supply chain, global and domestic economies, interest rates and stock markets.
  29. 수정We rely on our customers to design our products into their systems, and the nature of the design process requires us to incur expenses prior to customer commitments to use our products or recognizing revenues associated with those expenses which may adversely affect our financial results.
    We have in the past, and may continue to, make custom or semi-custom products on an exclusive basis for some of our customers for a negotiated period of time. The percentage of our sales related to custom or semi-custom products has been increasing over the last few years. Any revenue from sales of our custom or semi-custom products is directly related to sales of the third-party customer’s products and reflective of their success in the market. We have no control over the marketing efforts of these third-party customers and cannot make any assurances that sales of their products will be successful in current or future years. The demand for our custom products also depends on how well they perform in the customer’s intended application. Even if we execute according to the customer’s specifications, there is no guarantee that the customer’s design will meet their performance needs. In addition, if these customers are bought by our competitors or other third parties, they may terminate agreements related to these custom or semi-custom products or otherwise limit our access to technology necessary for the production of these products. As a result, there may be no other customers for these products due to their custom or semi-custom nature. Consequently, we may not fully realize our expectations for custom or semi-custom product revenue and our operating results may be adversely affected.
  30. 수정If we are unable to develop and introduce new and enhanced products that achieve market acceptance in a timely and cost-effective manner, our results of operations and competitive position will be harmed.
    Our future success will depend on our ability to develop and introduce new products and enhancements to our existing products that address customer requirements, in a timely and cost-effective manner and are competitive as to a variety of factors. For example, we must successfully identify customer requirements and design, develop and produce products on time that compete effectively as to price, functionality and performance. We sell products in markets that are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions, and increasing demand for higher levels of integration and smaller process geometries. If we do not accurately predict which new product features or requirements our customers will want in the future and adjust our business ahead of time, we could lose market share, face unexpected costs, and accumulate excess inventory, which would negatively affect our business and results of operations. See also, “We rely on our customers to design our products into their systems, and the nature of the design process requires us to incur expenses prior to customer commitments to use our products or recognizing revenues associated with those expenses which may adversely affect our financial results.”
  31. 수정Costs related to defective products could have a material adverse effect on us.
    We make highly complex semiconductor solutions and, accordingly, there is a risk of defects in our products. Such defects can give rise to the significant costs noted below. Moreover, since the cost of replacing defective products is often much higher than the value of the products themselves, we are subject to damage claims from customers in excess of the amounts they pay us for our products, including consequential damages. We also face exposure to potential liability resulting from the fact that our customers typically integrate the semiconductor solutions we sell into numerous consumer products, including automobiles. products. We are exposed to product liability claims if our semiconductor solutions or the consumer products integrated with our semiconductor solutions (such as automobiles), malfunction and lead to personal injury or death. malfunction. In addition, our customers may issue recalls on their products if they prove to be defective or make compensatory payments in accordance with industry or business practice or in order to maintain good customer relationships. If such recalls or payments are the result of a defect in one of our products, our customers may seek to recover all or a portion of their losses from us. Recalls of our customers’ products in certain end-markets, such as with our automotive and base station customers, may cause us to incur significant costs.
  32. 수정Costs related to defective products could have a material adverse effect on us.
    •the diversion of the attention of our engineering personnel employees from product development efforts;
  33. 수정Costs related to defective products could have a material adverse effect on us.
    Despite our best efforts, security vulnerabilities may exist with respect to our products. Mitigation techniques designed to address such security vulnerabilities, including software and firmware updates or other preventative measures, may not operate as intended or effectively resolve such vulnerabilities. Software and firmware updates and/or other mitigation efforts may result in performance issues, system instability, data loss or corruption, unpredictable system behavior, or the theft of data by third parties, any of which could significantly harm our business and reputation. We may depend on our business partners or on other third parties, such as customers and end users, to deploy our mitigations alone or as part of their own mitigations, and they may delay, decline or modify the implementation of such mitigations. See also, “Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations.”
  34. 수정Adverse changes in the political, regulatory and economic policies of governments in connection with trade with China and Chinese customers have reduced the demand for our products and damaged our business.
    Regulatory activity, such as tariffs, export controls and sanctions, economic sanctions, and related laws have in the past and may continue to materially limit our ability to make sales to customers in China, which has in the past and may continue to harm our results of operations, reputation and financial condition. Moreover, to the extent the governments of China, the United States or other countries seek to promote use of domestically produced products or to reduce the dependence upon or use of products from another country (sometimes referred to as “decoupling”), they may adopt or apply regulations or policies that have the effect of reducing business opportunities for us. Such actions may take the form of specific restrictions on particular customers, products, technology areas, or business combinations. For example, in the area of investments and mergers and acquisitions, the United States announced new requirements for approval by the United States government of outbound investments; and the approval by China regulatory authorities is required for business combinations of companies that conduct business in China over specific thresholds, regardless of where those businesses are based. Restrictions may also be imposed based on whether the supplier is considered unreliable or a security risk. For example, the Chinese government adopted a law that would restrict purchases from suppliers deemed to be “unreliable suppliers”. In May 2023, the Cyberspace Administration of China banned the sale of Micron Technology, Inc.’s products to certain entities in China and stated that such products pose significant security risks to China's critical information infrastructure supply chain and national security. In addition, China has in the past and may in the future use export controls to restrict rare earth minerals, and access to rare earth minerals has been used in the past and could be used in the future as a geopolitical tool in trade negotiations between the United States and China. In addition, China has responded, seemingly in retaliation to a 10% tariff tariffs on imported goods, by announcing antitrust probes against certain U.S. technology companies. While we are not currently the subject of such an antitrust probe, there can be no assurance that such a probe will not be initiated in the future, which may result in substantial costs and may divert our attention and resources. While we do not expect these announced restrictions to materially impact us, any export restrictions reducing our ability to manufacture our products conduct business can adversely impact our revenues, profits and results of operations.
  35. 수정Adverse changes in the political, regulatory and economic policies of governments in connection with trade with China and Chinese customers have reduced the demand for our products and damaged our business.
    Concerns that semiconductors are necessary for national security, manufacturing and critical infrastructure, as well as concerns of their potential use to restrict human rights, has led to increased U.S. export restrictions impacting sales of semiconductors and semiconductor technology to China or specific customers in China. While most of our products that are shipped to China are processed and placed into larger systems, after which they are distributed to customers in global markets outside of China, a small portion of our products are shipped into China and remain there. For example, the addition of certain companies to the Entity List, which places export restrictions on certain foreign persons or entities by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, Security (the “BIS”), has dampened demand for our products. Due to the U.S. government restricting sales to certain customers in China, sales to some customers require licenses for us to export our products; however, in the past some of these licenses have been delayed or denied and there can be no assurances that requests for future licenses will be approved by the U.S. government. In addition, certain existing export licenses to China may be revoked due to changes in U.S. government policy. In February 2022, the U.S. National Science and Technology Council published an updated list of critical and emerging technologies, which includes semiconductors, as part of an ongoing effort to identify advanced technologies that are potentially significant to U.S. national security, which could result in more stringent export controls or a greater number of our products requiring a license for export to China. In addition, the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security recently BIS released new controls on the export of advanced computing and semiconductor manufacturing items to China as well as transactions related to supercomputer end-uses in China with the aim of addressing U.S. national security and foreign policy concerns. The regulations published in October 2022 include included new restrictions on U.S. persons with respect to activities that are not subject to the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), which differs from the agency’s historical approach of controlling items that are subject to the EAR, and the regulations published in October 2023 impose 2023, November 2024, and January 2025 expanded the October 2022 rule imposing additional licensing requirements for exports to China (and certain other countries) of integrated circuits exceeding certain performance thresholds. thresholds, expanding the jurisdiction of the EAR to more foreign made items in certain cases, amending the definition of advanced node, and adding further entities to the Entity List. In January 2025, the AI Diffusion Rule and the Foundry Due Diligence Rule were was issued. Then in May 2025, the BIS said it intends to cancel the AI Diffusion Rule and release new rules. The BIS announcement creates uncertainty about what products, technologies, or software might be covered by future rules. Export restrictions reducing our sales of products to China, have in the past and may in the future adversely impact our revenues, profits and results of operations.

  37. 수정Changes to U.S. or foreign tax, trade policy, government incentives, tariff and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
    Changes in U.S. or foreign international tax, social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories or countries where we currently sell our products or conduct our business have in the past and could in the future adversely affect our business. The U.S. government has in the past, and may in the future, instituted or proposed changes in trade policies that included the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, the imposition of higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., economic sanctions on individuals, corporations or countries, and other government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries where we conduct our business. In addition, For example, in 2025 and 2026, the Trump current presidential administration has recently announced new tariffs on imports from many countries including Canada, China and Mexico. These new tariffs are have not expected to have had a direct significant impact on the Company, however, any new tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and certain foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing trade sanctions on certain U.S. goods. which may adversely impact our business.
  38. 수정We face additional risks due to the extent of our global operations since a majority of our products, and those of many of our customers, are manufactured and sold outside of the United States. The occurrence of any or a combination of the additional risks described below would significantly and negatively impact our business and results of operations.
    For example, we are subject to risks related to Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas, a U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist Organization and the current armed conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip. Middle East. We have employees in Israel. These employees may be impacted by: (1) disruptions to operations and business continuity, including physical damage or impaired access to company facilities, offices or technology, and disruptions in access to electricity, gasoline or water, and (2) workforce disruptions, including the mobilization of employees who are members of the Israeli military reserves to active duty, disrupted communication with employees in the conflict zone and restrictions on movement in areas subject to armed conflict. While these disruptions are not currently expected to have a material impact on us, at this time we are unable to predict the full impact this conflict will have on us and our employees in the future.
  39. 수정Recent, current and potential future acquisitions, strategic investments, divestitures, mergers or joint ventures may subject us to significant risks, any of which could harm our business.
    Our long-term strategy has included in the past, and may continue to include in the future, identifying and acquiring, investing in or merging with suitable companies, or divesting certain business lines, assets or activities. In particular, over time, we may acquire, make investments in, or merge with providers of product offerings that complement our business or may terminate or dispose of business lines, assets or activities if they are no longer in alignment with our operational strategy and priorities. For example, on August 14, 2025, the Company sold its automotive ethernet business to Infineon Technologies AG for $2.5 billion in an all-cash transaction. On February 2, 2026, we completed our acquisition of Celestial AI, Inc. and on February 10, 2026, we completed our acquisition of XConn Technologies. This strategy, and our willingness to use cash to pay for such transactions, acquisitions, may be adversely impacted by high or increasing interest rates.
  40. 수정Recent, current and potential future acquisitions, strategic investments, divestitures, mergers or joint ventures may subject us to significant risks, any of which could harm our business.
    Any acquired business, technology, service or product could significantly underperform relative to our expectations. Our acquisitions may not further our business strategy as we expected, we may not integrate an acquired company or technology as successfully as we expected, we may impose our business practices that adversely impact the acquired business or we may overpay for, or otherwise not realize the expected return on our investments, each or all of which could adversely affect our business or operating results and potentially cause impairment to assets that we recorded as a part of an acquisition including intangible assets and goodwill. In addition, the use of our stock to finance finance, or partially finance, an acquisition, acquisition such as in our acquisitions of Celestial AI and XConn Technologies, will result in an increase in the number of outstanding shares and will reduce the ownership percentage of each of our outstanding stockholders. With respect to the Celestial AI transaction, we may be required to issue additional shares of our common stock through fiscal 2029.
  41. 수정Recent, current and potential future acquisitions, strategic investments, divestitures, mergers or joint ventures may subject us to significant risks, any of which could harm our business.
    If we do enter into agreements with respect to acquisitions, divestitures, or other transactions, these transactions, or parts of these transactions, may fail to be completed due to factors such as: failure to obtain regulatory or other approvals; disputes or litigation; or difficulties obtaining financing for the transaction. In addition, such transactions are increasingly being subjected to regulatory review and other burdens, which could delay the closing of any transaction and greatly increase the costs related to such transaction. For example, in October 2024, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission recently announced new HSR Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”) rules that are expected to greatly expand disclosure requirements and require significantly more time to prepare filings. While these new HSR rules may have been overturned recently, if no stay or emergency relief is granted, the October 2024 rules will again become effective. In addition, there have been other recent changes to rules related to merger transactions such as requirements to file certain national security-related transactions with the U.S. Department of War and the announcement of new merger control filing requirements in California that will become effective in January 2027.
  42. 수정Recent, current and potential future acquisitions, strategic investments, divestitures, mergers or joint ventures may subject us to significant risks, any of which could harm our business.
    Our use of cash to fund our acquisitions, or partially fund our acquisitions in the case of Celestial AI and XConn Technologies, has reduced our liquidity and may (i) limit our flexibility in responding to other business opportunities and (ii) increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions. Furthermore, the financing agreements in connection with our outstanding indebtedness contain negative covenants, limitations on indebtedness, liens, sale and leaseback transactions and mergers and other fundamental changes. Our ability to comply with these negative covenants can be affected by events beyond our control. See also, “We are subject to risks related to our debt obligations.”
  43. 수정Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations.
    We depend heavily on our technology infrastructure and maintain and rely upon certain critical information systems for the effective operation of our business. We routinely collect and store sensitive data in our information systems, including intellectual property and other proprietary information about our business and that of our customers, suppliers and manufacturing and other business partners. These information technology systems are subject to damage or interruption from several potential sources, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, destructive or inadequate code, malware, power failures, cyber-attacks, nation state advanced persistent threats, misconfigurations, third-party cloud or SaaS outages, vendor errors causing operational interruptions, insider threats or other events. Cyber-attacks may include phishing or other forms of social engineering attacks, exploits of code or system configurations, malicious code, such as viruses and worms, ransomware attacks, zero day vulnerabilities and undisclosed security flaws exploited by threat actors, nation-state cyber warfare attacks, supply chain and third-party cyber-attacks, denial-of-service attacks and other actions granting unauthorized access to our technology infrastructure or information systems or those of our customers, suppliers and manufacturing and other business partners. In addition, we have in the past and may in the future be the target of email phishing attacks that attempt to acquire personal information or Company assets. As AI capabilities improve and become increasingly commonplace, we may see cyberattacks leveraging AI technology. These attacks could be crafted with an AI tool to directly attack information systems with increased speed and/or efficiency compared to a human threat actor actor, accelerate reconnaissance and exploit development, or create more effective phishing emails. In addition, a vulnerability could be introduced from the result of our or our customers and business partners incorporating the output of an AI tool, such as AI generated source code, code or configurations, that includes a threat. are insecure or contain malicious artifacts.
  44. 수정Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations.
    We have implemented cybersecurity processes, as discussed in more detail below, taking guidance from recognized cybersecurity frameworks to mitigate risks; however, we cannot guarantee that those risk mitigation measures will be effective. effective across all environments, including those operated under shared-responsibility models with certain cloud and SaaS providers. See Item 1C, “Cybersecurity” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about our cybersecurity processes.
  45. 수정Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations.
    We have not experienced a material information security breach in the last three years, and as a result, we have not incurred any net expenses from such a breach. We have not been penalized or paid any amount under an information security breach settlement over the last three years. Further, we annually assess our insurance policy and have determined not to purchase cyber related insurance. Cyber-attacks have become increasingly more prevalent and much harder to detect, defend against or prevent. The risk of state-sponsored or geopolitical-related cybersecurity incidents has also increased recently due to geopolitical tensions or incidents, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the armed conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip. Middle East, and other regional tensions affecting the semiconductor supply chain. While we have historically been successful in defending against the cyber-attacks and breaches mentioned above, given the frequency of cyber-attacks and resulting breaches reported by other businesses and governments, it is likely we will experience one or more material breaches of some extent in the future. We have incurred and may in the future incur significant costs to implement, maintain and/or update security systems we believe are necessary to protect our information systems, to recover and restore operations and after an incident, and to meet legal, regulatory, contractual, and disclosure obligations, or we may miscalculate the level of investment necessary to protect our systems adequately. Since the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and are often not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. measures on a timely basis.
  46. 수정Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations.
    To the extent that any system failure, accident or security breach results in material disruptions or interruptions to our operations, or those of our customers, suppliers and manufacturing and other business partners, or the theft, loss or disclosure of, or damage to our data or confidential information, including our intellectual property, our reputation, business, results of operations and/or financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Such events could also trigger regulatory inquiries, notification and disclosure obligations, contractual penalties, or delays in product development, tape-out, or shipments.
  47. 수정Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry.
    •exposing us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate indebtedness, particularly in the current environment event of high or rising interest rates; and
  48. 수정Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry.
    Although the 2025 Credit Agreements contain Agreement contains restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and the indentures governing the Notes (together, the “Notes Indentures”) contain restrictions on creating liens and entering into certain sale-leaseback transactions, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the additional indebtedness, liens or sale-leaseback transactions incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial.
  49. 수정Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry.
    The 2025 Credit Agreements, Agreement, the Notes Indentures and the indenture governing the MTI Senior Notes contain customary events of default upon the occurrence of which, after any applicable grace period, the lenders would have the ability to immediately declare the loans due and payable in whole or in part. In such event, we may not have sufficient available cash to repay such debt at the time it becomes due, or be able to refinance such debt on acceptable terms or at all. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
  50. 수정The 2025 Credit Agreement and the Notes Indentures impose restrictions on our business.
    The 2025 Credit Agreements Agreement and the Notes Indentures impose restrictions on our business.
  51. 수정The 2025 Credit Agreement and the Notes Indentures impose restrictions on our business.
    The 2025 Credit Agreements Agreement and the Notes Indentures each contains a number of covenants imposing restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. The restrictions, among other things, restrict our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to create or incur certain liens, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, merge or consolidate with other companies, pay dividends, transfer or sell assets and make restricted payments. These restrictions are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions set forth in the 2025 Credit Agreements Agreement and the Notes Indentures. Our ability to meet the leverage ratio set forth in the 2025 Credit Agreements Agreement may be affected by events beyond our control.
  52. 수정We may be unable to generate the cash flow to service our debt obligations.
    We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the Notes, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our ability to pay our expenses and satisfy our debt obligations, refinance our debt obligations and fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to borrow sufficient funds in the future to service our debt, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt (including the Notes) or obtain additional financing. In addition, if our credit ratings are downgraded, the cost of current or future borrowings under our 2025 Credit Agreements Agreement may rise and our ability to obtain additional financing or refinance our existing debt may be negatively affected. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance our debt, sell assets or borrow more money on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default and holders of our debt could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. In addition, a material default on our indebtedness could suspend our eligibility to register securities using certain registration statement forms under SEC guidelines that permit incorporation by reference of substantial information regarding us, potentially hindering our ability to raise capital through the issuance of our securities and increasing our costs of registration.
  53. 수정We may, under certain circumstances, be required to repurchase the Notes at the option of the holder.
    We will be required to repurchase the Notes at the option of each holder upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event as defined in the Notes Indentures. However, we may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the Notes in cash at the time of any change of control repurchase event. Our failure to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control repurchase event would be an event of default under the Notes Indentures and could cause a cross-default or acceleration under the 2025 Credit Agreements Agreement and certain future agreements governing our other indebtedness. The repayment obligations under the Notes may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a takeover of our company. If we were required to repurchase the Notes prior to their scheduled maturity, it could have a significant negative impact on our cash and liquidity and could impact our ability to invest financial resources in other strategic initiatives.
  54. 수정Changes in existing taxation benefits, tax rules or tax practices may adversely affect our financial results.
    President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) on August 16, 2022 and the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 on August 9, 2022. These laws implement new tax provisions and provide for various incentives and tax credits. The IRA applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 and introduces introduced a 15% alternative minimum tax for corporations whose average annual adjusted financial statement income for any consecutive three-tax-year period preceding the tax year exceeds $1 billion and a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations after December 31, 2022. As a result of the accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”), the Company anticipates paying $14.3 million in additional federal taxes in fiscal 2026, recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ equity, due to the 1% excise tax on net share repurchases. While we are not currently generally subject to additional significant taxes under the IRA, if it is possible that in the future, we become subject to these taxes, it future they could significantly affect our financial results, including our earnings and cash flows.
  55. 수정Changes in existing taxation benefits, tax rules or tax practices may adversely affect our financial results.
    The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”) has been working on a Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project, and since 2015 has been issuing guidelines and proposals with respect to various aspects of the existing framework under which our tax obligations are determined in countries in which we do business. Many countries have implemented legislation and other guidance to align their international rules with the OECD’s legal framework, including enacting a minimum tax rate of at least 15% as part of the OECD’s “Pillar Two” initiative. We are subject to legislation based on the OECD’s 15% global minimum tax regime which applies to the majority of countries in which we operate. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released a comprehensive package of administrative guidance, including the “side-by-side system” that exempts U.S. parented multinational businesses from certain provisions of Pillar Two specifically the Income Inclusion Rule and the Undertaxed Profits Rule. The OECD guidance provides that the side-by-side system will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. We will continue to monitor countries’ laws with respect to the OECD model rules and the Pillar Two global minimum tax. The effects of any future legislation in this area are not yet reasonably estimable, but if such legislation is enacted in the future could have a significant effect on our provision for income taxes, our financial results, and our earnings and cash flows.
  56. 수정Changes in existing taxation benefits, tax rules or tax practices may adversely affect our financial results.
    Our profitability and effective tax rate could be impacted by unexpected changes to our statutory income tax rates or income tax liabilities. Such changes could result from various items, including changes in tax laws or regulations, changes to court or administrative interpretations of tax laws, changes to our geographic mix of earnings, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets, discrete items, changes in our supply chain, and changes due to audit assessments. In particular, the tax benefits associated with our transfer of intellectual property to Singapore are sensitive to our future profitability and taxable income in Singapore, audit assessments, and changes in applicable tax law. Our current corporate effective tax rate fluctuates may fluctuate significantly from period to period, period and is based on the application of currently applicable income tax laws, regulations and treaties, as well as current judicial and administrative interpretations of these income tax laws, regulations and treaties, in various jurisdictions.
  57. 수정We are exposed to potential impairment charges on certain assets.
    We had approximately $11.6 $11.1 billion of goodwill and $2.7 $1.8 billion of acquired intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2025. January 31, 2026. Under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we are required to review our intangible assets including goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. We perform an assessment of goodwill for impairment annually on the last business day of our fiscal fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. When testing goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value or we may determine to proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.
  58. 수정We are exposed to potential impairment charges on certain assets.
    For example, a restructuring plan was initiated during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 to increase research and development investment in the data center end market and reduce the investment in new product development in other end markets including the cancellation of certain future product releases. As a result, we were required to assess the recoverability of related long-lived assets. On completion of the assessment, the Company determined the carrying values of certain long-lived assets were not recoverable. We utilized a discounted cash flow method of valuation to determine the fair value of the associated assets and liabilities compared to their carrying values, which resulted in recognition of asset impairment charges for acquired intangible assets, purchased technology licenses, and property and equipment. We recognized $711.8 million of restructuring related charges during fiscal 2025. See “Note 4 – Restructuring” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
  59. 수정We are subject to the risks of owning real property.
    Our buildings building in Santa Clara, California and Shanghai, China subject subjects us to the risks of owning real property, which include, but are not limited to:
  60. 수정We must comply with a variety of existing and future laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs on us and may adversely affect our business.
    We must comply with a variety of existing and future laws and regulations, as well as sustainability initiatives, regulations that could impose substantial costs on us and may adversely affect our business.
  61. 수정Expectations, requirements and attention to sustainability matters may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and damage our brand and reputation.
    Increasingly regulators (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), regulators, customers, investors, employees and other stakeholders are focusing on sustainability matters. We are, and expect to continue to be, subject to various proposed, new, and evolving sustainability laws and requirements including both voluntary and mandatory disclosure requirements that may impact how we and our business partners, suppliers and customers conduct business. While we have certain sustainability initiatives at the Company there can be no assurance that regulators, customers, investors, and employees will determine that these programs are sufficiently robust. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish our announced goals related to our sustainability program, as statements regarding our sustainability goals reflect our current plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them within the timelines we announce or at all. Actual or perceived shortcomings with respect to our sustainability initiatives and reporting can impact our ability to hire and retain employees, increase our customer base, reelect our Board of Directors, or attract and retain certain types of investors. In addition, these parties are increasingly focused on specific disclosures and frameworks related to sustainability matters. Collecting, measuring, and reporting sustainability information and metrics can be costly, difficult and time consuming, is subject to evolving reporting standards, and can present numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks, any of which could have a material impact on us, including on our reputation and stock price. Inadequate processes to collect and review this information prior to disclosure could subject us to potential liability related to such information. In addition, several U.S. states and President Trump the current presidential administration have enacted or proposed “anti-ESG” policies or legislation. If our sustainability practices are deemed to be in contradiction of such “anti-ESG” policies we could be subjected to government investigations or lawsuits that could negatively impact the Company and affect the price of our common stock. In addition, social activists have recently been successful in pressuring certain public companies to eliminate or cut back on their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and their sustainability initiatives. To the extent we are subject to such activism, it may require us to incur costs or may otherwise adversely impact our business.
  62. 수정We have been named as a party to several legal proceedings and may be named in additional ones in the future, including litigation involving our patents and other intellectual property, which could subject us to liability, require us to indemnify our customers, require us to obtain or renew licenses, require us to stop selling our products or force us to redesign our products.
    We are currently, and have been in the past, named as a party to several lawsuits, government inquiries or investigations and other legal proceedings (collectively referred to as “litigation”), and we may be named in additional litigation in the future. Please see “Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, II, Item 1 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed description of any material litigation matters in which we may be currently engaged.

  64. 수정We depend on highly skilled employees to support our business operations. If we are unable to retain and motivate our current employees or attract additional qualified employees, our ability to develop and successfully market our products could be harmed.
    We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled skilled, engineering, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. employees. We typically do not enter into employment agreements with any of our key personnel and the The loss of such personnel employees could harm our business, as their knowledge of our business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. The competition for qualified personnel employees with significant experience in the management, design, development, manufacturing, marketing and sales of semiconductor solutions particularly those with emerging expertise in AI-related technologies and persistent demand for analog engineering experience has been intense over the last few years, both in the Silicon Valley and in global markets in which we operate. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, employees, including executive officers, hardware and software engineers and sales and marketing personnel, employees, could delay the development and introduction of, impact our ability to fulfill commitments to customers for, and harm our ability to sell, our products. In addition, if we are unable to fulfill our customer commitments in a timely manner, we may also lose future business relationships or otherwise experience negative consequences. Despite recent layoffs in the technology sector, competitors for talent increasingly seek to hire our employees and executive officers (for example, our former Chief Financial Officer President, Products and Technologies was hired by another semiconductor company in fiscal 2023), 2026), and the increased availability of work-from-home arrangements has both intensified and expanded competition. As a result, during the last few years, we have increased our efforts to recruit and retain talent. These efforts have increased our expenses, resulted in a higher volume of equity issuances, and may not be successful in attracting, retaining, and motivating the workforce necessary to deliver on our strategy. We believe equity compensation is a valuable component of our compensation program which helps us to attract, retain, and motivate employees and as a result we issue stock-based awards, such as restricted stock unit awards, to a significant portion of our employees. A significant change in our stock price or lower stock price performance relative to competitors, may reduce the retention value of our stock-based awards. Our employee hiring and retention also depends on our ability to build and maintain a diverse and inclusive workplace culture and be viewed as an employer of choice. To the extent our compensation programs and workplace culture are not viewed as competitive, our ability to attract, retain, and motivate employees may be weakened, which could harm our results of operations.
  65. 수정We depend on highly skilled employees to support our business operations. If we are unable to retain and motivate our current employees or attract additional qualified employees, our ability to develop and successfully market our products could be harmed.
    Changes to U.S. immigration and export policies that restrict our ability to attract and retain technical personnel employees may negatively affect our research and development efforts. In addition, changes in employment-related laws applicable to our workforce practices may also result in increased expenses and less flexibility in how we meet our changing workforce needs.
  66. 수정We depend on highly skilled employees to support our business operations. If we are unable to retain and motivate our current employees or attract additional qualified employees, our ability to develop and successfully market our products could be harmed.
    We previously adopted a hybrid work policy for our employees, but more recently adopted a policy requiring employees to return to working full time in the office as of June 2, 2025. Many companies, including companies that we compete with for talent, have adopted plans to adopt full time remote work arrangements or hybrid work arrangements more flexible than ours, which may impact our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel employees if potential or current employees prefer these policies. In addition, as a result of our current hybrid and future full time in the office work environments, we expect to face challenges in retention of personnel employees who prefer work from home policies.
  67. 수정There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends or effect stock repurchases in any particular amount or at all, and statutory requirements may require us to defer payment of declared dividends or suspend stock repurchases.
    On September 24, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $5.0 billion addition to the balance of its existing stock repurchase program. Future payment of a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common stock and future stock repurchases are subject to, among other things: the best interests of the Company and our stockholders; our results of operations, cash balances and future cash requirements; financial condition; developments in ongoing litigation; statutory requirements under Delaware law; securities laws and regulations; market conditions; and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. Our dividend payments or stock repurchases may change from time to time, and we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to declare dividends or repurchase stock in any particular amounts or at all. A reduction in, a delay of, or elimination of our dividend payments or stock repurchases could have a negative effect on our stock price. As of February 1, 2025, January 31, 2026, there was $2.6 $5.5 billion remaining available for future stock repurchases under the prior authorization. See “Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
