Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a global leader in designing, developing and manufacturing sensing and power solutions for motion control and energy-efficient systems in automotive and industrial markets. The Company is headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire and has a global footprint across multiple continents.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed in, or omitted from, these interim financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2024. The March 29, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements for the interim periods presented reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

Financial Periods

The Company’s second quarter three-month period is a 13-week period. The Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2025 ended September 27, 2024, and the Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2024 ended September 29, 2023.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments, including those related to the valuation of acquired intangible assets, impairment assessment and valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and tangible long-lived assets, the net realizable value of inventory, income taxes, stock-based compensation, and sales allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to current-period reporting classifications.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

As of both September 27, 2024 and March 29, 2024, no distributor or customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding trade accounts receivable, net.

For the three- and six-month periods ended September 27, 2024, no distributor or customer accounted for 10% or more of total net sales. For the three- and six-month periods ended September 29, 2023, one distributor customer accounted for 11.6% and 12.0% of total net sales, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to provide additional information of the Company’s tax rate reconciliation, as well as additional disclosures about income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively, but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively for each period presented. The Company does not anticipate this guidance will have an adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition, but it will result in expanded disclosure within the financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires incremental disclosures in annual and interim periods related to a public entity’s reportable segments (particularly on segment expenses) but does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. The Company is in the process of evaluating the significant expenses of its single segment and determining the appropriate enhanced disclosures.

All other recent accounting pronouncements were determined to not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

  1. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The following tables summarize net sales disaggregated by market, by product and by geography for the three- and six-month periods ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023. The categorization of net sales by market is determined using various characteristics of the product and the application into which the Company’s product will be incorporated. The categorization of net sales by geography is determined based on the location to which the products are shipped.

Net sales by market:

During the preparation of the third quarter fiscal year 2024 interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company identified an immaterial error in the classification of net sales by market, whereby customer returns and sales allowances were incorrectly classified by market between Automotive, Industrial and Other in prior periods. There was no impact to previously reported total net sales or net (loss) income in any of the periods.

The Company assessed the materiality of the revision qualitatively and quantitatively and determined the revisions to be immaterial to the prior period interim fiscal year 2024, annual fiscal year 2023, and annual fiscal year 2022 consolidated financial statements. All prior period amounts have been revised in the table below.

2023 Revolving Credit Facility

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility credit agreement (as amended, the “2023 Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, collateral agent, a letter of credit issuer and a lender, and the other agents, lenders and letter of credit issuers parties. The 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement provided for a $224,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a $20,000 letter of credit subfacility. Upon entry into Amendment No. 2 to the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Allegro MicroSystems, LLC (“AML”), Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, and each lender from time to time party thereto, on August 6, 2024 the total capacity of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility was increased to $256,000. The 2023 Revolving Credit Facility is available until, and loans made thereunder will mature on, June 21, 2028. Under the terms of the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement, interest is calculated at a rate equal to (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) in effect, plus the applicable spread (ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%) or (ii) the highest of (x) the Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (y) the prime lending rate, or (z) the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.0% in effect, plus the applicable spread (ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%). The applicable spreads are based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) at the time of the applicable borrowing. Issuance costs related to the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility were not significant. As of September 27, 2024, there wereno outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company will also pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.25% on the daily amount by which the commitments under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility exceed the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, various fundamental changes, dividends and distributions, investments (including acquisitions), transactions with affiliates, asset sales, prepayment of junior financing, changes in business and other limitations customary in senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 4.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, which may, subject to certain limitations, be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for four fiscal quarters subsequent to the Company completing an acquisition for consideration in excess of $500,000.

The 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default. Upon an event of default, the administrative agent with the consent of, or at the request of, the holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the loans and commitments, may terminate the commitments and accelerate the maturity of the loans and enforce certain other remedies.

2023 Term Loan Facility

On October 31, 2023, the Company entered into a $250,000 term loan maturing in 2030 (the “2023 Term Loan Facility”), the proceeds of which were used to refinance the$25,000 outstanding balance under the term loan credit agreement that the Company entered into on September 30, 2020 with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other agents, arrangers and lenders party thereto, and to finance, in part, the acquisition of Crocus. The 2023 Term Loan Facility was executed as an incremental amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement. The 2023 Term Loan Facility amortizes at a rate of 0.25% per quarter and the initial margin applicable to the 2023 Term Loan Facility was 2.75% for SOFR-based loans and 1.75% for base rate loans. On August 6, 2024, the 2023 Term Loan Facility was paid in full in connection with the entry into the Second Amendment.

A payment of $50,000 was applied to the term loan balance on April 30, 2024.

Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility

On August 6, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment, which increased the total capacity of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility to $256,000. As of September 27, 2024, there wereno outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.

The Second Amendment also provided for a new $400,000 tranche of term loans maturing in 2030 (the “Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility”), the proceeds of which were primarily used, to repurchase a portion of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to the certain Share Repurchase Agreement discussed in Note 14, as well as repay the 2023 Term Loan Facility. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility amortizes at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) Term SOFR in effect from time to time plus 2.25% or (ii) the highest of (x) the Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (y) the prime lending rate or (z) the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.0% in effect from time to time plus 1.25%. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility will mature on October 31, 2030. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility is subject to covenants consistent with the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement covenants. As the terms of the refinancing were not substantially different than the terms of the Second Amendment, the refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company recognized $3,619 as a debt discount which will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term using the effective interest method. Borrowings under the Second Amendment are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of September 27, 2024 and March 29, 2024.

A payment of $25,000 was applied to the term loan balance on October 31, 2024, which has eliminated future required minimum quarterly payments. The balance of the loan is required to be paid upon the expected maturity date of October 31, 2030.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory examinations or investigations arising in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty, and the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, is difficult to predict. The Company records an accrual for legal contingencies when it is determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In making such determinations, the Company evaluates, among other things, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the loss. If the occurrence of liability is probable and estimable, the Company will disclose the nature of the contingency and, if estimable, will provide the likely amount of such loss or range ofloss. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against the Company that it believes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

Effective tax rate22.0%10.1%14.1%10.4%

The Company’s (benefit) provision for income taxes is comprised of the year-to-date taxes based on an estimate of the annual effective tax rate plus the tax impact of discrete items.

The Company is subject to tax in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s effective income tax rate fluctuates primarily because of the change in the mix of its U.S. and foreign income, the impact of discrete transactions and law changes, tax benefits generated by the foreign derived intangible income deduction including the permanent impacts of Internal Revenue Code Section 174 Capitalization, and research credits; offset by non-deductible stock-based compensation and other charges.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three- and six-month periods results mainly from a decrease in forecasted US GAAP income before taxes, less tax deductions for share-based compensation, and an increase in nondeductible expenses primarily related to the Sanken Electric Co., Ltd. (“Sanken”) and Polar Semiconductor, LLC (“PSL”) transactions discussed in Note 14.

Share repurchase transactions with Sanken

On July 23, 2024, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement with Sanken (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase 38,767,315 shares of the Company’s common stock from Sanken in a privately negotiated transaction at a price per share equal to the price per share at which the underwriters in a public underwritten equity offering of shares of our common stock would purchase the shares (the “Equity Offering”). The repurchase of shares of common stock occurred in two separate closings, with the first closing taking place after the closing of the Equity Offering (the “First Closing”) and the second closing occurring after the receipt of the proceeds from borrowings under the Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility (the “Second Closing”). The First Closing of the share repurchase was conditioned upon the closing of the Equity Offering and certain other conditions, and the Second Closing of the share repurchase was conditioned upon the receipt of net proceeds of no less than $300,000 from incremental term loans under the Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Repurchase Agreement, Sanken reimbursed the Company for the expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Share Repurchase Agreement, and paid a facilitation fee of $35,000, which were recorded within additional paid-in-capital within the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity.

To fund the First Closing, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), on July 24, 2024, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to the Underwriters at a price of $23.16 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock at the same purchase price, which option was exercised in full prior to the closing of the Equity Offering.

On July 26, 2024, the Company completed the Equity Offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement of 28,750,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $24.00 per share resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $665,850, after deducting $24,150 of underwriting discounts. As described above, the Company used the net proceeds of the Equity Offering to complete the First Closing under the Share Repurchase Agreement.

On July 29, 2024, the Company completed the First Closing under the Share Repurchase Agreement, repurchasing 28,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $628,256, which was the Equity Offering price, less the facilitation fee of $35,000, underwriting discounts, and reimbursable transaction expenses. The shares repurchased in the First Closing were retired.

On August 7, 2024, the Company completed the Second Closing under the Share Repurchase Agreement, repurchasing 10,017,315 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $225,549, which was the Equity Offering price, less underwriting discounts and reimbursable transaction expenses. As described above, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility and existing cash on hand to complete the Second Closing. The shares repurchased in the Second Closing were retired.

The Share Repurchase Agreement was accounted for as a forward repurchase contract as there were certain terms that could have caused the obligation not to be fulfilled. Accordingly, the contract was initially recorded as a liability at its fair value with subsequent remeasurements recognized in loss on change in fair value of forward repurchase contract until the completion of the First Closing and Second Closing. The Company recognized a loss of $34,752 as a result of the fair value forward repurchase contract in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement with Sanken (the “Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement”), which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2022, by and among the Company, Sanken and OEP SKNA, L.P.

The Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, which became effective in accordance with its terms on July 29, 2024, removed OEP as a party and amended certain rights and obligations of the Company and Sanken.
