NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Marvell Technology Group Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), as of and for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, have been prepared as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's fiscal year 2017 audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments that are considered necessary for fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The Company's financial results for prior periods presented herein have been recast to reflect certain businesses that were classified as discontinued operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 and second quarter of fiscal year 2018. See Note 3. Discontinued Operations for additional information. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These amounts were not material to any of the periods presented.

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth fiscal year will have a 53-week period. The additional week in a 53-week year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. Fiscal 2017 had a 52-week year. Fiscal 2018 is a 53-week year.

During the first fiscal quarter of 2018, the Company recorded certain out-of-period adjustments of $4.7 million related to revenue-related accruals and $3.2 million related to other expenses. The net effect of these out-of-period adjustments resulted in a $7.9 million increase in income from continuing operations for the nine months ended October 28, 2017, an increase in basic earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.02 per share, and an increase in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.01 per share, as well as contributing to the increase in revenue and gross margin for the nine months ended October 28, 2017

Subsequent to quarter end, on November 20, 2017, the Company and Cavium, Inc. ("Cavium") announced a definitive agreement, unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, under which the Company will acquire all outstanding shares of Cavium common stock in exchange for consideration of $40.00 per share in cash and 2.1757 Marvell common shares for each Cavium share. The exchange ratio was based on a purchase price of $80 per share, using the Company's undisturbed price prior to November 3, when media reports of the transaction first surfaced. This represents a transaction value of approximately $6 billion. Cavium shareholders are expected to own approximately 25% of the combined company on a pro forma basis. The agreement provides the Company and Cavium with certain specific termination rights in certain circumstances, including a termination fee that may be payable by either the Company or Cavium upon termination of the transaction as more fully described in the agreement.

The Company intends to fund the cash consideration with a combination of cash on hand from the combined companies and $1.75 billion in debt financing. The Company has obtained commitments consisting of an $850 million bridge loan commitment and a $900 million committed term loan from Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, in each case, subject to customary terms and conditions. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition.

The transaction is expected to close in mid-calendar 2018, subject to regulatory approval as well as other customary closing conditions, including the adoption by Cavium shareholders of the merger agreement and the approval by the Company's shareholders of the issuance of the Company's common shares in the transaction.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The new standard will require an entity to recognize revenue from the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance addresses, in particular, contracts with more than one performance obligation, as well as the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer, and provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Public entities are required to apply the amendments on either a full or modified retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those annual periods. This update will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company plans to adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis, with the cumulative effect recognized in retained earnings at the date of adoption.

To date, the Company has completed the assessment phase and has substantially completed the design phase of its revenue project and is currently in process of developing, implementing and testing its internal systems, processes and controls. The Company has identified systems and process changes necessary to enable compliance with the new standard. The Company will continue to complete the remaining development, implementation and testing steps necessary to adopt the new standard at the beginning of its fiscal year 2019, and will finalize changes necessary to its accounting policies and disclosures.

The Company’s assessment to date has identified a change in revenue recognition timing on its component sales made to distributors. The Company expects to recognize revenue when the Company transfers control to the distributor rather than deferring recognition until the distributor sells the components. On the date of initial adoption, the Company will remove the deferred income on component sales made to distributors and record estimates of the accruals for variable consideration through a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. As of October 28, 2017, the deferred income on component sales to distributors, which is included in deferred income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, is $72.3 million. In addition, the Company will establish appropriate accrual adjustments estimated based on historical experience for the variable consideration aspect of sales to distributors, including estimates for price protection, rebates, and stock rotation programs. The Company currently estimates that the accruals for variable consideration which will be required on the initial date of adoption will be in excess of $40.0 million. Other changes may be identified as the Company continues its design, testing and implementation process.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that changes the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The accounting standard update will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard on the accounting for leases, which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. The standard also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures for lease arrangements. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard requiring financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The standard eliminates the threshold for initial recognition in current GAAP and reflects an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in the update provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues and is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments to the guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method for each period presented and, if it is impracticable to apply all of the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for the income tax effects of intra-entity transfers and will require companies to recognize the income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Previous guidance required companies to defer the income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets until the asset had been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. As a result, companies will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that revises the definition of a business. The amendments provide a more robust framework for determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The update is intended to help companies evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for certain transactions, as specifically described in the guidance. The Company is evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Unless the changes in terms or conditions meet all three criteria outlined in the guidance, modification accounting should be applied. The three criteria relate to changes in the terms and conditions that affect the fair value, vesting conditions, or classification of a share-based payment award. The amendment is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that simplifies the application and administration of hedge accounting. The guidance amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. The guidance is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies' risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance will be applied to cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements will be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the Company announced a plan to restructure its operations to refocus its research and development, increase operational efficiency and improve profitability. As part of those actions, the Company began an active program to locate buyers for several businesses. The Company concluded that the divestitures of these businesses represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. These businesses were deemed not to align with the Company’s core business. The Company classified these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented in its consolidated financial statements.

Non-cash operating amounts reported for discontinued operations include share-based compensation credit of $1.8 million for the three months ended October 28, 2017 and share-based compensation expense of $1.6 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 and share-based compensation expense of $3.0 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016, respectively. The net credit recognized in the quarter ended October 28, 2017 is due to the effect of forfeitures. Depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures are not material. The proceeds from sale of the Multimedia business of $93.7 million, proceeds from sale of the LTE thin-modem business of $49.2 million and proceeds from sale of the Broadband business of $23.0 million are classified in investing activities for the nine months ended October 28, 2017, and the gain on sale of such business is presented in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Due to the Company's transfer pricing arrangements, the Company generates income in most jurisdictions in which it operates, regardless of a loss that may exist on a consolidated basis. In addition, the Company recognized a tax expense of $0.5 million on the sale of its Multimedia business for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017 and a tax expense of $4.5 million on the sale of its LTE thin-modem business for the nine month period ended October 28, 2017. As such, the Company has reflected a tax expense of $0.3 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017 and $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016, respectively, attributable to discontinued operations.

As of October 28, 2017, for fixed income securities that were in unrealized loss positions, the Company has determined that (i) it does not have the intent to sell these investments, and (ii) it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis. In addition, as of October 28, 2017, the Company anticipates that it will recover the amortized cost basis of such fixed income securities and has determined that no other-than-temporary impairments associated with credit losses were required to be recognized during the nine months ended October 28, 2017.

Note 7. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company manages some of its foreign currency exchange rate risk through the purchase of foreign currency exchange contracts that hedge against the short-term effect of currency fluctuations. The Company’s policy is to enter into foreign currency forward contracts with maturities less than 12 months that mitigate the effect of rate fluctuations on certain local currency denominated operating expenses. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in either prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued liabilities. The Company reports cash flows from derivative instruments in cash flows from operating activities. The Company uses quoted prices to value its derivative instruments. There were no outstanding forward contracts at October 28, 2017. The notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts was $63.5 million at January 28, 2017 and consisted of Israeli shekel buy contracts.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company designates and documents its foreign currency forward exchange contracts as cash flow hedges for certain operating expenses. The Company evaluates and calculates the effectiveness of each hedge at least quarterly. The effective change is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified to operating expense when the hedged expense is recognized. Ineffectiveness is recorded in interest and other income, net.

The portion of gains (losses) excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is included in interest and other income, net, and these amounts were not material in the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016. The Company did not have hedge ineffectiveness from derivative financial instruments in the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016. No cash flow hedges were terminated as a result of forecasted transactions that did not occur.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

17

Table of Contents
MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company’s Level 1 assets include institutional money-market funds that are classified as cash equivalents, equity securities, and U.S. government and agency debt securities, which are valued primarily using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company’s Level 2 assets include its marketable investments in time deposits, foreign government and agency debt, municipal debt securities, corporate debt securities and asset backed securities as the market inputs used to value these instruments consist of market yields, reported trades and broker/dealer quotes, which are corroborated with observable market data. In addition, forward contracts and the severance pay fund are classified as Level 2 assets as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. The Company’s investments in auction rate securities were classified as Level 3 assets because there were no active markets for the auction rate securities and consequently the Company was unable to obtain independent valuations from market sources. Therefore, the auction rate securities were valued using a discounted cash flow model. In the nine months ended October 28, 2017, the auction rate securities were sold.
 
The tables below set forth, by level, the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The tables do not include assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value (in thousands):

Intellectual Property Indemnification
The Company has agreed to indemnify certain customers for claims made against the Company’s products where such claims allege infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, patents, registered trademarks and/or copyrights. Under the aforementioned indemnification clauses, the Company may be obligated to defend the customer and pay for the damages awarded against the customer under an infringement claim, as well as the customer's attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company’s indemnification obligations generally do not expire after termination or expiration of the agreement containing the indemnification obligation. Generally, there are limits on and exceptions to the Company’s potential liability for indemnification. Although historically the Company has not made significant payments under these indemnification obligations, the Company cannot estimate the amount of potential future payments, if any, that it might be required to make as a result of these agreements. The maximum potential amount of any future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnification obligations could be significant.
Contingencies and Legal Proceedings
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are currently parties to various legal proceedings, including those noted in this section. The legal proceedings and claims described below could result in substantial costs and could divert the attention and resources of the Company’s management. The Company is also engaged in other legal proceedings and claims not described below, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is currently unable to predict the final outcome of these lawsuits and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss or estimate a range of possible loss, except with respect to amounts where it has determined a loss is both probable and estimable and where it has made an accrual. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling in litigation, particularly patent litigation, could require the Company to pay damages, one-time license fees or ongoing royalty payments, and could prevent the Company from manufacturing or selling some of its products or limit or restrict the type of work that employees involved in such litigation may perform for the Company, any of which could adversely affect financial results in future periods. There can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved in a manner that is not adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Luna Litigation and Consolidated Cases. On September 11, 2015, Daniel Luna filed an action asserting putative class action claims on behalf of the Company’s shareholders in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“S.D. of New York”). This action was consolidated with two additional, nearly identical complaints subsequently filed by Philip Limbacher and Jim Farno. The complaints asserted violations of federal securities laws based on allegations that the Company and certain of its officers and directors (Sehat Sutardja, Michael Rashkin and Sukhi Nagesh) made, caused to be made, or failed to correct false and/or misleading statements in the Company’s press releases and public filings. The complaints request damages in unspecified amounts, costs and fees of bringing the action, and other unspecified relief.
 
On November 18, 2015, the S.D. of New York granted the Company’s motion to transfer the consolidated cases to the N.D. of California. On December 21, 2015, the N.D. of California granted the Company’s motion to deem the consolidated cases related to the Saratoga litigation, discussed below. On February 8, 2016, the N.D. of California granted an unopposed motion to appoint Plumbers and Pipefitters National Pension Fund as Lead Plaintiff. On March 19, 2016, Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. On April 29, 2016, Marvell and each of the individual defendants each filed motions to dismiss. The hearing on the motions to dismiss took place on July 29, 2016 and the court took the matter under submission. On October 12, 2016, the Court granted Defendants’ motions to dismiss with leave to amend and granted lead plaintiff 30 days to file an amended complaint. The parties agreed that the plaintiffs would file and serve an amended complaint by November 28, 2016. Plaintiffs filed and served the amended complaint on November 28, 2016. The Initial Case Management Conference took place on January 12, 2017. Marvell and co-defendants filed separate Motions to Dismiss on January 17, 2017. A hearing on the Motion to Dismiss took place on May 4, 2017 and, on May 17, 2017, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss as to Rashkin and Nagesh and denied the Motion to Dismiss as to Sutardja and Marvell. On August 2, 2017, Lead Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. On October 27, 2017, after a hearing on October 26, 2017, the Court certified a class of persons or entities that acquired Marvell stock during the period from February 19, 2015 to December 7, 2015. The Court has set a deadline of December 29, 2017 for the conclusion of fact discovery and a March 5, 2018 trial date.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees
During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities may include intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers in connection with the sales of its products, indemnities for liabilities associated with the infringement of other parties’ technology based upon the Company’s products, indemnities for general commercial obligations, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, and indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of Bermuda. In addition, the Company has contractual commitments to various customers that could require the Company to incur costs to repair an epidemic defect with respect to its products outside of the normal warranty period if such defect were to occur. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. Some of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments that the Company could be obligated to make. In general, the Company does not record any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the amounts cannot be reasonably estimated and are not considered probable. The Company does, however, accrue for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when the loss is both estimable and probable.

Note 10. Income Tax

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period.
The Company’s quarterly tax provision, and estimate of its annual effective tax rate, is subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss) and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, changes in how the Company does business, and tax law developments. The Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the year differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the benefit of a substantial portion of its earnings being taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.
The income tax expense for the three months ended October 28, 2017 included current income tax expense of $5.9 million, a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits of $0.5 million, and an expense of $0.3 million related to other discrete items recorded in the quarter. The net increase in unrecognized tax benefits arose from penalties and interest of $0.5 million accrued on the outstanding unrecognized tax benefit balance. The income tax expense for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 included current income tax expense of $13.9 million and expense of $1.5 million related to other discrete items, offset by a tax benefit of $7.4 million from a net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits. The net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits arose from the release of $9.8 million due to expiration of the statute of limitations in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, which was partially offset by penalties and interest of $1.8 million accrued on the outstanding unrecognized tax benefit balance and the accrual of $0.6 million for changes in prior year tax positions.

The income tax expense for the three months ended October 29, 2016 included current income tax expense of $11.9 million, an expense of $0.6 million related to settlements of prior year tax in foreign jurisdictions, a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits of $2.8 million, and an expense of $0.2 million related to other discrete items recorded in the quarter. The net increase in unrecognized tax benefits arose from the accrual of penalties and interest of $0.5 million on the outstanding unrecognized tax benefit balance, plus the accrual of additional $2.3 million for changes in prior year positions. The income tax expense for the nine months ended October 29, 2016 included current income tax expense of $15.3 million, an expense of $0.6 million related to settlements of prior year tax in foreign jurisdictions, and an expense of $0.6 million related to other discrete items recorded in the quarter, offset by a tax benefit of $9.7 million from a net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits and a deferred tax benefit of $2.5 million for the portion of a payment to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer that became deductible after his departure from the Company in April 2016. The net reduction in unrecognized tax benefits arose from the release of $14.3 million due to expiration of the statute of limitations in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, which was partially offset by penalties and interest of $2.0 million accrued on the outstanding unrecognized tax benefit balance, and the accrual of an additional $2.6 million for changes in prior year tax positions.

Table of Contents
MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease significantly due to changes in tax law in various jurisdictions, new tax audits and changes in the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies within the next 12 months. Excluding these factors, uncertain tax positions may decrease by as much as $7.7 million from the lapse of statutes of limitation in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months. Government tax authorities from several non-U.S. jurisdictions are also examining the Company’s tax returns. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to its tax audits and that any settlement will not have a material effect on its results at this time.

The Company operates under tax incentives in certain countries that may be extended if certain additional requirements are satisfied. The tax incentives are conditional upon meeting certain employment and investment thresholds. The impact of these tax incentives decreased foreign taxes by $0.1 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, respectively, and $2.4 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016, respectively. The benefit of the tax incentives on net income per share was less than $0.01 per share for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, compared to a benefit of $0.01 per share for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016.

The Company’s principal source of liquidity as of October 28, 2017 consisted of approximately $1.7 billion of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which approximately $1.1 billion was held by foreign subsidiaries (outside Bermuda). Approximately $620 million of this amount held by foreign subsidiaries is related to undistributed earnings, which have been indefinitely reinvested outside of Bermuda. These funds are primarily held in China, Israel and the United States. The Company plans to use such amounts to fund various activities outside of Bermuda including working capital requirements, capital expenditures for expansion, funding of future acquisitions, or other financing activities. If such funds were needed by the parent company in Bermuda or if the amounts were otherwise no longer considered indefinitely reinvested, the Company would incur a tax expense of approximately $190 million.
Note 11. Net Income Per Share
The Company reports both basic net income per share, which is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net income per share, which is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period.

Potential dilutive securities include dilutive common shares from share-based awards attributable to the assumed exercise of stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plan shares using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, potential common shares outstanding are not included in the computation of diluted net income per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Additional factors which could cause actual results to differ materially include those set forth in the following discussion, as well as the risks discussed in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a fabless semiconductor provider of high-performance, application-specific standard products. Our core strength of expertise is the development of complex System-on-a-Chip (“SoC”) devices, leveraging our technology portfolio of intellectual property in the areas of analog, mixed-signal, digital signal processing, and embedded and standalone integrated circuits. We also develop integrated hardware platforms along with software that incorporates digital computing technologies designed and configured to provide an optimized computing solution. Our broad product portfolio includes devices for storage, networking and connectivity.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we saw net revenue decrease year over year by 1% from $623.7 million net revenue in the third quarter fiscal 2017 compared with $616.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a 4% decrease in our storage product sales and 22% decrease in our other product sales, offset in part by a 19% increase in sales of our connectivity products. Our net revenue for the nine months ended October 28, 2017 increased by $59.1 million compared to net revenue for the nine months ended October 29, 2016. This increase was primarily due to increased sales of our storage products by 10% and connectivity products by 10%. This growth was offset by a decline in other products.

As discussed in Note 1, during the first fiscal quarter of 2018, we recorded certain out-of-period adjustments of $4.7 million related to revenue-related accruals and $3.2 million related to other expenses. The net effect of these out-of-period adjustments resulted in a $7.9 million increase in income from continuing operations from the nine months ended October 28, 2017, an increase in basic earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.02 per share, and an increase in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.01 per share, as well as contributing to the increase in revenue and gross margin for nine months ended October 28, 2017

On November 20, 2017,  we, along with Cavium, Inc., announced a definitive agreement, unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, under which we will acquire all outstanding shares of Cavium common stock in exchange for consideration of $40.00 per share in cash and 2.1757 Marvell common shares for each Cavium share. The exchange ratio was based on a purchase price of $80 per share, using our undisturbed price prior to November 3, when media reports of the transaction first surfaced. This represents a transaction value of approximately $6 billion. Cavium shareholders are expected to own approximately 25% of the combined company on a pro forma basis.

We intend to fund the cash consideration with a combination of cash on hand from the combined companies and $1.75 billion in debt financing. We have obtained commitments consisting of an $850 million bridge loan commitment and a $900 million committed term loan from Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, in each case subject to customary terms and conditions. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition.

The transaction is expected to close in mid-calendar 2018, subject to regulatory approval as well as other customary closing conditions, including the adoption by Cavium shareholders of the merger agreement and the approval by our shareholders of the issuance of Marvell common shares in the transaction.

Restructuring. In November 2016, we announced a restructuring plan intended to refocus our research and development, increase operational efficiency and improve profitability. As a continuation of such plan, we recorded restructuring related charges of $3.3 million and $8.5 million in the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, respectively. In addition, during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, we received cash proceeds of $165.9 million and recognized a gain on sale of $88.4 million from the sales of our Multimedia, LTE thin-modem, and Broadband businesses. These businesses are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Unless noted otherwise, our discussion under Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, refers to our continuing operations.

Capital Return Program. Our financial position is strong and we remain committed to delivering shareholder value through our share repurchase and dividend programs. For the nine months ended October 28, 2017, we repurchased 31.5 million shares of our common stock for $527.6 million. As of October 28, 2017, a total of 286.4 million shares have been repurchased to date under the Company’s share repurchase program for a total $3.8 billion in cash and there was $358 million remaining available for future share repurchases. We returned $617.1 million to stockholders in the nine months ended October 28, 2017, including our repurchases of common stock and $89.6 million of cash dividends.

Cash and Short Term Investments. Our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $1.7 billion at October 28, 2017, which was slightly higher than our balance at our fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

Sales and Customer Composition. Historically, a relatively small number of customers have accounted for a significant portion of our net revenue. Net revenue attributable to significant customers whose revenue as a percentage of net revenue was 10% or greater of total net revenue is presented in the following table:

Less than 10% of net revenue
We continuously monitor the creditworthiness of our major customers and distributors and believe the distributors’ sales to diverse end customers and geographies further serve to mitigate our exposure to credit risk.
Most of our sales are made to customers located outside of the United States, primarily in Asia, and all of our products are manufactured outside the United States. Sales shipped to customers with operations in Asia represented approximately 94% of our net revenue in the three and nine months ended October 28, 2017, respectively and approximately 94% of net revenue in both the three and nine months ended October 29, 2016, respectively. Because many manufacturers and manufacturing subcontractors of our customers are located in Asia, we expect that most of our net revenue will continue to be represented by sales to our customers in that region. For risks related to our global operations, see Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” including but not limited to the risk detailed under the caption "We face additional risks due to the extent of our global operations since a majority of our products, and those 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."
Historically, a relatively large portion of our sales have been made on the basis of purchase orders rather than long-term agreements. Customers can generally cancel or defer purchase orders on short notice without incurring a significant penalty. In addition, the development process for our products is long, which may cause us to experience a delay between the time we incur expenses and the time revenue is generated from these expenditures. We anticipate that the rate of new orders may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. For risks related to our sales cycles, see Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” including but not limited to the risk detailed under the caption "We are subject to order and shipment uncertainties. If we are unable to accurately predict customer demand, we may hold excess or obsolete inventory, which would reduce our gross margin. Conversely, we may have insufficient inventory, which would results in lost revenue opportunities and potential loss of market share as well as damaged customer relationships."
