NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

  1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Cirrus Logic, Inc. (“Cirrus Logic,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not include complete footnotes and financial presentations. As a result, these financial statements should be read along with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 29, 2025, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on May 23, 2025. In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all material adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for those periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Moreover, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

  1. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, requiring more consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures and expects to provide these disclosures in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregation of certain expense categories in the notes to the financial statements in order to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes references to software development stages, or “project stages,” in assessing the timing of software cost capitalization. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted using the prospective, modified, or retrospective transition methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures.

  1. Marketable Securities

The Company’s investments have been classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Marketable securities are categorized on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as “Marketable securities,” within the short-term or long-term classification, as appropriate, based on the original maturity.

The following table is a summary of available-for-sale securities at September 27, 2025 (in thousands):

As of September 27, 2025AmortizedCostGrossUnrealizedGainsGrossUnrealizedLossesEstimatedFair Value(Net CarryingAmount)
Corporate debt securities$298,125$2,143$(35)$300,233
U.S. Treasury securities2,31423—2,337
Total securities$300,439$2,166$(35)$302,570

The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities with original maturities generally ranging fromone tothree years. The Company's specifically identified gross unrealized losses were immaterial related to securities with total amortized costs of approximately $18.2 million at September 27, 2025. There were no securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of September 27, 2025. The Company may sell certain of its marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated or actual changes in credit rating and duration management. The Company records an allowance for credit loss when a decline in investment market value is due to credit-related factors. When evaluating an investment for impairment, the Company reviews factors including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, changes in market interest rates and whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. As of September 27, 2025, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be impaired.

The following table is a summary of available-for-sale securities at March 29, 2025 (in thousands):

The Company's specifically identified gross unrealized losses of $0.1 million related to securities with total amortized costs of approximately $29.8 million at March 29, 2025. Securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of March 29, 2025 had an aggregate amortized cost of $1.9 million and an immaterial aggregate unrealized loss.

  1. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has determined that the only material assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

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

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

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio consist of money market funds, debt securities, and U.S Treasury securities, and are reflected on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets under the headings cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and long-term marketable securities. The Company determines the fair value of its marketable securities portfolio by obtaining non-binding market prices from third-party pricing providers on the last day of the quarter, whose sources may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value.

The Company's long-term revolving credit facility, described in Note 8 - Revolving Credit Facility, bears interest at a base rate plus applicable margin or forward-looking secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) plus 10 basis points plus applicable margin. As of September 27, 2025, there areno amounts drawn under the facility and the fair value iszero.

As of September 27, 2025 and March 29, 2025, the Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 measurements for the three months ended September 27, 2025.

  1. Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The Company recognizes both the gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and the gains and losses on the remeasurement of non-functional currency assets and liabilities within “Other income (expense)” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these foreign currency derivative instruments.

As of September 27, 2025, the Company heldone foreign currency forward contract denominated in British Pound Sterling with a notional value of $19.2 million. The fair value of this contract was not material as of September 27, 2025.

  1. Revolving Credit Facility

On July 8, 2021, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 8, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Revolving Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by all of Cirrus Logic’s material domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of Cirrus Logic and any Subsidiary Guarantors, except for certain excluded assets.

On March 20, 2023, the Company, entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Second Amended Credit Agreement, with the lending institutions party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment updates the benchmark interest rate provisions to replace the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) with Term SOFR, for the purposes of calculating interest under the terms of the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may bear interest, at Cirrus Logic’s election, at either (a) a base rate plus the applicable margin (“Base Rate Loans”) or (b) a Term SOFR rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0% to 0.75% per annum for Base Rate Loans and 1.00% to 1.75% per annum for SOFR Loans based on the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”). A Commitment Fee accrues at a rate per annum ranging from 0.175% to 0.275% (based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) on the average daily unused portion of the commitment of the lenders.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants providing that (a) the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness (minus up to $200 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available on such date) to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters must not be greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio”) and (b) the ratio of consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters to consolidated interest expense paid or payable in cash for the prior four consecutive quarters must not be less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio”). The Second Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants limiting the ability of Cirrus Logic or any Subsidiary to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make investments, effect certain fundamental changes, make certain asset dispositions, and make certain restricted payments. Further, the Second Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, reporting requirements, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

As of September 27, 2025, the Company hadno amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

Effective tax rate14.2%27.0%17.8%26.6%

Our income tax expense was $21.8 million and $37.9 million for the second quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 14.2 percent and 27.0 percent, respectively. Our income tax expense was $41.7 million and $52.4 million for the first six months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 17.8 percent and 26.6 percent, respectively.

Effective tax rates for fiscal year 2025 were unfavorably impacted by a provision in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that required research and development (“R&D”) expenditures incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 to be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or fifteen years depending on the location in which the research activities are conducted, which resulted in increased GILTI inclusions in these periods. In addition, those periods were unfavorably impacted by U.S. tax rules related to refundable tax credits, including R&D expenditure credits available to us in the United Kingdom, that reduce the amount of foreign tax credits available to offset GILTI.

The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2026 were lower than the prior periods presented due to the current quarter enactment of the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions and extends or modifies several provisions initially enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Beginning with fiscal year 2026, the OBBBA permanently eliminates the requirement to capitalize and amortize U.S. R&D expenditures. A number of other provisions of the OBBBA, including modifications to existing international tax provisions, will take effect in fiscal year 2027.

In connection with its initial analysis of the OBBBA, the Company determined that its forecasted annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2026 decreased, primarily due to U.S. R&D expenditures no longer being capitalized within GILTI (renamed by the OBBBA as net controlled foreign corporation tested income), which the Company has elected to treat as a period cost.

The Company records unrecognized tax benefits for the estimated risk associated with tax positions taken on tax returns. At September 27, 2025, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $32.1 million, all of which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Non-current income taxes” in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of September 27, 2025, the balance of accrued interest and penalties, net of tax, was $13.3 million.

On July 27, 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. et al. v. Commissioner which concluded that the regulations relating to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements were invalid. In 2016 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”). On June 7, 2019, the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision of the U.S. Tax Court and upheld the cost-sharing regulations. On February 10, 2020, Altera Corp. filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States, which was denied by the Supreme Court on June 22, 2020. Although the issue is now resolved in the Ninth Circuit, the Ninth Circuit's opinion is not binding in other circuits. The potential impact of this issue on the Company, which is not located within the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit, is unclear at this time. We will continue to monitor developments related to this issue and the potential impact of those developments on the Company's current and prior fiscal years.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2017 through 2019 and 2022 through 2025 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

The Company's fiscal year 2017, 2018, and 2019 federal income tax returns are under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS has proposed adjustments that would increase U.S. taxable income related to transfer pricing matters with respect to our U.S. and U.K. affiliated companies. The final Revenue Agent’s Report asserted additional tax of approximately $168.3 million, excluding interest, and imposed penalties of approximately $63.7 million. The Company does not agree with the IRS's positions and has not accrued an additional liability. In July 2024, the Company entered the administrative dispute process with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“IRS Appeals”). We intend to vigorously dispute the proposed adjustments and pursue judicial remedies if an acceptable outcome cannot be reached with IRS Appeals. The Company expects it could take a number of years to reach resolution on these matters. Although the final resolution of these matters is uncertain, the Company believes adequate amounts have been reserved in accordance with ASC 740 for any adjustments to the provision for income taxes that may ultimately result. However, if the IRS prevails in these matters, the ultimate amount of assessed tax, interest, and penalties, if any, could be material and may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in future periods. The Company is not under an income tax audit in any other major taxing jurisdiction.

  1. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted effect of common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the basic weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic net income per share calculation, plus the equivalent number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. These potentially dilutive items consist primarily of outstanding stock options and restricted stock units.

The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Basic earnings per share$2.57$1.92$3.74$2.70
Diluted earnings per share$2.48$1.83$3.61$2.59

The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three and six months ended September 27, 2025 were 65 thousand and 252 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive. The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 were 8 thousand and 229 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Capacity Reservation Agreement

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement (the “Capacity Reservation Agreement”) with GlobalFoundries to provide the Company a wafer capacity commitment and wafer pricing for Company products for calendar years 2022-2026 (the “Commitment Period”). On February 18, 2025, the Capacity Reservation Agreement was amended (the “Amendment”) to define the quarterly spread of the remaining wafer quantities under the agreement.

The Capacity Reservation Agreement requires GlobalFoundries to provide, and the Company to purchase, a defined number of wafers on a quarterly basis for the Commitment Period, subject to shortfall payments. In exchange for GlobalFoundries’ capacity commitment, the Company paid a $60 million non-refundable capacity reservation fee, which is amortized over the Commitment Period. The balance of this reservation fee is $12 million as of September 27, 2025, and is recorded in “Other current assets” and “Other assets” on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets within the short-term or long-term classification, as appropriate. In addition, the Company pre-paid GlobalFoundries $195 million for future wafer purchases, which are credited back to the Company as a portion of the price of wafers purchased, which began in the Company's second fiscal quarter of 2024. The balance of the prepayment is $45 million at September 27, 2025, and is currently recorded in “Prepaid wafers” on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Lease Agreement

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company commenced a 10-year operating lease for corporate office space in Greensboro, North Carolina. As a result, the Company recognized a liability of $4.8 million for future lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use lease asset. Lease liabilities and right-of-use lease assets are presented separately on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 27, 2025.

  1. Legal Matters

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities. We regularly evaluate the status of legal proceedings in which we are involved in order to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred, and to determine if accruals are appropriate. We further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made.

Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that there are any pending matters that could potentially have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we are engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business. There can be no assurances in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in any potential legal proceedings, some of which are beyond our control, and an adverse outcome in any legal proceeding could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

  1. Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

The Company issued a net 0.1 million shares of common stock during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, respectively, and issued a net 0.2 million and 0.4 million shares of common stock for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plans.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's net stock repurchases are subject to a 1 percent excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act, which is included as a reduction to accumulated earnings in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Stockholders' Equity. As of September 27, 2025, approximately$1.3 million is accrued related to this excise tax. Disclosure of repurchased amounts and related average costs exclude the impact of excise taxes.

In July 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's stock. During the three months ended June 28, 2025, the Company completed share repurchases under the 2022 authorization.

  1. Segment Information

We determine our operating segments in accordance with FASB guidelines. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) under these guidelines.

The Company operates and tracks its results inone reportable segment, but reports revenue intwo product lines, Audio and HPMS. Our CEO receives and uses enterprise-wide financial information to assess financial performance and allocate resources. Our product lines have similar characteristics and customers and share operations support functions such as sales, public relations, supply chain management, various research and development and engineering support, in addition to the general and administrative functions of human resources, legal, finance and information technology. Therefore, there is no complete, discrete financial information maintained for these product lines. Revenue by product line is disclosed in Note 9 - Revenues.

The CODM evaluates Company performance based on net income, and this information is used to measure profitability, make budgeting and forecasting decisions, monitor performance trends, and to compare actual results to forecasts. The CODM regularly reviews the consolidated statement of income and a disaggregation of operating expenses, with a focus on personnel-related and product development expenses. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
