MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Maxim Integrated") included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal year 2013 is a 52-week fiscal year and fiscal year 2012 was a 53-week fiscal year.

NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

(i) New Accounting Updates Recently Adopted
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income and ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The adoption of these amended standards impacted the presentation of other comprehensive income, as the Company elected to present two separate but consecutive statements, but did not impact our financial position or results of operations.
(ii) Recent Accounting Updates Not Yet Effective
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)- Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to require reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to be presented either in the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 will be effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
The Company's Level 1 assets consist of money market funds.
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities 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 asset or liability.

The Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of certificates of deposit, government agency securities and foreign currency forward contracts.
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company's Level 3 consist of contingent consideration liability related to certain acquisitions and assets held-for-sale and certain fixed assets impaired during the period.

The valuation of contingent consideration is based on a probability weighted earnout model which relies primarily on estimates of milestone achievements and discount rates applicable for the period expected payout. The most significant unobservable input used in the determination of estimated fair value of contingent consideration is the estimates on the likelihood of milestone achievements, which directly correlates to the fair value recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of this liability is estimated quarterly by management based on inputs received from the Company's engineering and finance personnel. The determination of the milestone achievement is performed by the Company's business units and reviewed by the accounting department. Potential valuation adjustments are made as the progress toward achieving milestones becomes determinable, with the impact of such adjustments being recorded through Other operating expenses (income), net.

During the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and the year ended June 30, 2012, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were as follows:

As of March 30, 2013, none of the Company's assets and liabilities were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis.

As of June 30, 2012, long-lived assets comprised of buildings held for sale were written down to their fair value, less cost to sell, of $19.7 million, resulting in an impairment loss of $22.4 million, which was included in earnings for the period. The impairment charge was measured using Level 3 inputs. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of assets fair values. The fair value of the land and buildings was determined mainly after consideration of evidence such as appraisals and offers received. Please refer to Note 15: "Impairment of long-lived assets" of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The government agency securities outstanding are maturing on December 18, 2013.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company generates revenues in various global markets based on orders obtained in non-U.S. currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the British Pound. Maxim Integrated incurs expenditures denominated in non-U.S. currencies, principally the Philippine Peso and Thai Baht associated with the Company's manufacturing activities in the Philippines and Thailand, respectively, and expenditures for sales offices and research and development activities undertaken outside of the U.S. Maxim Integrated is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily on orders and accounts receivable from sales in these foreign currencies and cash flows for expenditures in these foreign currencies. Maxim Integrated has established risk management strategies designed to reduce the impact of volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in the exchange rate for these currencies. These strategies reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rates movements. Maxim Integrated does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company routinely hedges its exposures to certain foreign currencies with various financial institutions in an effort to minimize the impact of certain currency exchange rate fluctuations. If a financial counterparty to any of the Company's hedging arrangements experiences financial difficulties or is otherwise unable to honor the terms of the foreign currency hedge, the Company may experience financial losses.
 
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 815-Derivatives and Hedging, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings into the same financial statement line as the item being hedged, and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative

11



representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in interest and other income (expense), net.
 
For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC No. 815, gains and losses are recognized in interest and other income (expense), net. All derivatives are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities. The gains and losses on these derivatives largely offset the changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
Maxim Integrated estimates the fair value of derivatives primarily based on pricing models using current market rates and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.

On March 18, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.38% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes ("$500 million notes") due in 2023, with an effective interest rate of 3.51%. Interest on the $500 million notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2013. The $500 million notes are governed by base and supplemental indentures dated June 10, 2010 and March 18, 2013, respectively, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $491 million, after issuing at a discount and deducting paid expenses, and are included in the financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Prior to December 15, 2022 (three months prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem all or a portion of the $500 million notes at its option at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
Principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest; and
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued ) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Indenture) plus 25 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

On or after December 15, 2022 (three months prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem all or a portion of the $500 million notes at its option at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed.

In conjunction with the SensorDynamics acquisition as discussed in Note 13: "Acquisitions" of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Maxim Integrated acquired certain fixed and floating rate notes as detailed in the table above.

On June 17, 2010, the Company completed a public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.45% senior unsecured notes due on June 14, 2013 ("$300 million notes"), with an effective interest rate of 3.49%. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 14 and December 14 of each year. The $300 million notes are governed by base and supplemental indentures dated June 10, 2010 and June 17, 2010, respectively, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

The Company accounts for all the notes above based on their amortized cost. The discount and expenses are being amortized to Interest and other income (expense), net over the life of the notes. Interest expense associated with the notes was $3.8 million and $3.0 million during the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Interest expense associated with the notes was $9.6 million and $10.1 million during the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The interest expense is recorded in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The estimated fair value of Maxim Integrated's debt was approximately $814 million at March 30, 2013. The estimated fair value of the debt is based primarily on quoted market prices.

Fair Value

The fair value of options granted to employees under the Company's Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and rights to acquire common stock under the Company's 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") is estimated using the value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company's common stock prior to vesting.

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatilities from the Company's traded common stock over a period equal to the expected term. The Company is utilizing the simplified method to estimate expected holding periods. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield. The Company determines the dividend yield by dividing the annualized dividends per share

15



by the prior quarter's average stock price. The result is analyzed by the Company to decide whether it represents expected future dividend yield. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on a quarterly basis.

The fair value of share-based awards granted to employees has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following weighted-average assumptions:

Aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs represents the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on March 29, 2013, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of RSUs outstanding or expected to vest as of March 30, 2013.
The Company withheld shares totaling $7.9 million and $21.6 million in value as a result of employee withholding taxes based on the value of the RSUs on their vesting date for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively. The total payments for the employees' tax obligations to the taxing authorities are reflected as financing activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of March 30, 2013, there was $127.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to 8.7 million unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

As of March 30, 2013, there was $1.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the ESPP.

NOTE 7: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock excludes unvested RSUs. Diluted earnings per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, assumed release of unvested RSUs and assumed issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plans using the treasury stock method.

Approximately 9.0 million and 12.2 million stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Approximately 10.6 million and 14.1 million stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. These options were excluded because they were determined to be antidilutive. However, such options could be dilutive in the future and, under those circumstances, would be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 8: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of linear and mixed signal integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by ASC No. 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280").

The Company has three operating segments which aggregate into one reportable segment. Under ASC 280, two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment for financial reporting purposes if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of ASC 280, if the segments have similar economic characteristics, and if the segments are similar in each of the following areas:

the nature of products and services;
the nature of the production processes;
the type or class of customer for their products and services; and
the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services.

The Company meets each of the aggregation criteria for the following reasons:

the sale of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits is the primary source of revenue for each of the Company's three operating segments;

18



the integrated circuits sold by each of the Company's operating segments are manufactured using similar semiconductor manufacturing processes;
the integrated circuits marketed by each of the Company's operating segments are sold to the same types of customers; and
all of the Company's integrated circuits are sold through a centralized sales force and common wholesale distributors.

All of the Company's operating segments share similar long term financial performance as they have similar economic characteristics, including gross margins. The causes for variation among the Company's operating segments are the same and include factors such as (i) life cycle and price and cost fluctuations, (ii) number of competitors, (iii) product differentiation and (iv) size of market opportunity. Additionally, each operating segment is subject to the overall cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. The number and composition of employees and the amounts and types of tools and materials required are similar for each operating segment. Finally, even though the Company periodically reorganizes the Company's operating segments based upon changes in customers, end-markets or products, acquisitions, long-term growth strategies, and the experience and bandwidth of the senior executives in charge, the common financial goals for each operating segment remain constant.

Enterprise-wide information is provided in accordance with ASC 280. Geographical revenue information is based on customers' ship-to location. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment information is based on the physical location of the assets at the end of each fiscal year.

Net revenues from unaffiliated customers by geographic region were as follows:

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

In the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $22.8 million and $92.7 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $88.9 million and $152.5 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded income tax that was netted against income from discontinued operations of $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013 and $13.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company's federal statutory tax rate is 35%. The Company's income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013 was lower than the amount computed by applying the statutory tax rate primarily because the earnings of foreign subsidiaries were taxed at lower rates. The Company's income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013 included a $7.1 million benefit for research tax credits for the fiscal year 2012 and first two quarters of fiscal year 2013 that were generated by the retroactive extension of the federal research tax credit to January 1, 2012 by legislation that was signed into law on January 2, 2013. The Company's income tax provision for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 included a $21.4 million discrete tax charge for research and development expenses of a foreign subsidiary for which no tax benefit was available.

The Company's income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 was higher than the amount computed by applying the statutory tax rate primarily because of a $56.0 million discrete tax charge for research and development expenses of a foreign subsidiary for which no tax benefit was available.
In fiscal year 2012 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011, which is still ongoing.

NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings
 
We are party or subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings and claims that relate to intellectual-property matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will result in losses that are materially in excess of amounts already recognized or reserved, if any.

Indemnification
 
The Company indemnifies certain customers, distributors, suppliers and subcontractors for attorney fees and damages and costs awarded against such parties in certain circumstances in which the Company's products are alleged to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks and copyrights. The terms of the Company's indemnification obligations are generally perpetual from the effective date of the agreement. In certain cases, there are limits on and exceptions to the Company's potential liability for indemnification relating to intellectual property infringement claims.
 




20



Legal fees associated with indemnification obligations, defense and other related costs
 
Pursuant to the Company's charter documents and separate written indemnification agreements, the Company has indemnification obligations to its current executive officers and directors, as well as certain former officers and directors. Pursuant to such obligations, the Company has incurred expenses related to legal fees and expenses advanced to certain former officers of the Company subject to civil charges by the SEC in connection with Maxim Integrated's historical stock option granting practices.  The Company expenses such amounts as incurred.

NOTE 12: COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES

In August 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $750 million of the Company's common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company's management. This stock repurchase authorization has no expiration date. All prior authorizations by the Company's Board of Directors for the repurchase of common stock were canceled and superseded by this authorization.

During the nine months ended March 30, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 6.4 million shares of its common stock for $181.9 million. As of March 30, 2013, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $369.3 million of the Company's common stock. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company's common stock and general market and business conditions.

NOTE 13: ACQUISITIONS
 
Acquisitions completed through third quarter of fiscal year 2013

Maxim has not completed any acquisitions in the nine months ended March 30, 2013; however, Maxim paid $7.5 million in contingent consideration relating to certain acquisitions completed in prior years during the nine months ended March 30, 2013. Total contingent consideration that could still be paid out in the future related to acquisitions completed in prior years is $16.9 million.

Acquisitions completed during fiscal year 2012

The purchase price allocation for acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2012 is set forth in the table below, including work performed by third-party valuation specialists.

Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because they are not material to Maxim Integrated's condensed consolidated income, either individually or in the aggregate. Revenue and earnings per share for the acquired businesses since the date of acquisition through March 30, 2013 were not provided as they are not material. Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition costs for fiscal year 2012 were not material.

SENSORDYNAMICS

On July 18, 2011, the Company acquired SensorDynamics, a semiconductor company that develops proprietary sensor and microelectromechanical solutions. SensorDynamics is based in Lebring, near Graz, Austria. The purpose of the acquisition was to allow Maxim Integrated to combine sensors with analog products. The total cash consideration associated with the acquisition was approximately $123.1 million.

OTHER ACQUISITIONS

The Company acquired three other companies during fiscal year 2012, which included a company that develops low power high performance analog circuits. The total cash consideration paid in these three acquisitions was approximately $41.3 million. Maxim Integrated also recorded $11.4 million, representing the fair value of contingent consideration that would be payable in the future should certain specified project milestones be met. The contingent consideration was calculated based on probabilities that were developed regarding the likelihood that the product development milestones would be met and when the contingent payments would occur. Based on these factors, a probability weighted earnout amount was calculated and discounted (at the cost of debt) to present value.

NOTE 14: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The Company monitors the recoverability of goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions, by reporting unit, annually, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company performed the annual impairment analysis during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired, as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill.

NOTE 15: IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Fiscal year 2013:

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company identified certain assets as excess primarily attributable to the transition to utilizing newer, more efficient manufacturing equipment. These assets included used fabrication tools and test manufacturing equipment. In connection with these circumstances, the Company recorded a charge for the write down of equipment to its estimated fair value. The total charge of $22.2 million was included in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of assets fair values. The fair value of the equipment was determined mainly after consideration of quoted market prices of similar equipment adjusted for equipment specifications and condition in addition to the current market demand and size.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company identified certain idle facilities as held for sale. In connection with these circumstances, the Company recorded a charge for the write-down of land and buildings to their estimated fair value, less cost to sell. The total charge of $2.7 million was included in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of assets fair values. The fair value of the land and buildings was determined mainly after consideration of evidence such as appraisals and offers received.

Fiscal year 2012:

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company identified certain idle facilities as held for sale. In connection with these circumstances, the Company recorded a charge for the write-down of land and buildings to their estimated fair value, less cost to sell. The total charge of $22.4 million was included in impairment of long-lived assets in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company reached its conclusion regarding the asset impairment after conducting an evaluation of assets fair values. The fair value of the land and buildings was determined mainly after consideration of evidence such as appraisals and offers received.

The Company has ceased depreciation and classified the above assets as held for sale based on its intentions to sell the assets and has included the lower of fair value less cost to sell and net book value of $24.0 million in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2012.

NOTE 16: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 31, 2012, the Company sold its video processing product line to GEO Semiconductor, Inc. ("GEO") for a total estimated consideration valued at $8.5 million.

In January 2012, the Company sold its clock synchronization business (the "Clocks Business") for a total sale price of approximately $44.0 million. No further proceeds from the sale are expected. The Clocks Business formed part of the Company's Comm Timing reporting unit.

In February 2012, the Company also sold certain future technologies, including die types that will result in future products, in the storage area. The total sale price for this transaction was approximately $15.0 million. No further proceeds from the sale are expected. The technologies and die types sold formed part of the Company's Storage reporting unit.

As a result of the fiscal year 2012 transactions, the Company recognized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of $31.8 million, net of income taxes. This gain reflects cash received, less transaction costs and the net carrying value of assets and liabilities transferred.

The Company has not disclosed and included in discontinued operations the impact of historical revenue, pre- or post- tax profit or loss related to discontinued operations for any of the prior periods presented as the impact was immaterial to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require us to make our most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and related allowances, which impact the recording of revenues; valuation of inventories, which impacts costs of goods sold and gross margins; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, which impacts write-offs of fixed assets, intangible assets, and goodwill; accounting for stock-based compensation, which impacts cost of goods sold, gross margins and operating expenses; accounting for income taxes, which impacts the income tax provision; and assessment of contingencies, which impacts charges recorded in cost of goods sold and operating expenses. We have other significant accounting policies that either do not generally require estimates and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or are less likely to have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.

There have been no material changes during the nine months ended March 30, 2013 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $604.9 million and $571.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, an increase of 5.9%. Net revenues were $1,833.3 million and $1,798.6 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, an increase of 1.9%. We classify our shipments by four major end market categories: Communications, Computing, Consumer and Industrial. Net shipments increased during the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013 as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 due to improved demand for our products that we supply into the consumer markets, primarily from continued growth in smart phones and tablets offered by our customers. This increase was offset by a decline in our notebook business in the computing market due to our past exit of certain notebook products with low gross margin.


27



During the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, approximately 89% and 88% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from customers outside of the U.S. During the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, approximately 90% and 88% of net revenues, respectively, were derived from customers outside of the U.S. While the majority of these sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our revenue and results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was immaterial.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin percentages were 62.2% and 58.7% for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The gross margin increased primarily due to improved manufacturing efficiencies and lower inventory reserves.

Our gross margin percentages were 61.4% and 60.0% for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The gross margin increased primarily due to lower inventory reserve and lower miscellaneous period costs none of which is individually significant.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were relatively flat at $134.1 million and $136.1 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, which represented 22.2% and 23.8% of net revenues, respectively. There were no significant fluctuations in line items making up the research and development expenses.

Research and development expenses were $402.8 million and $418.4 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, which represented 22.0% and 23.3% of net revenues, respectively. The $15.6 million decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries and related expenses of $10.2 million as a result of decreased headcount due to fiscal year 2012 restructuring and divestitures.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $82.0 million and $78.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, which represented 13.5% and 13.7% of net revenues, respectively. The $4.0 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales and marketing expenses of $2.6 million due to the Company's branding and other marketing programs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were relatively flat at $242.2 million and $241.3 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, which represented 13.2% and 13.4% of net revenues, respectively. There were no significant fluctuations in line items making up the selling, general and administrative expenses.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of long lived assets was $0.0 million and $24.9 million in the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively. The impairment was primarily due to the transition to utilizing newer, more efficient manufacturing equipment. The Company recorded a charge for the write-down of the equipment to its estimated fair value.

Other Operating Expenses (Income), net

Other operating expenses (income), net were $1.7 million and $(2.5) million during the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The net increase in expense was primarily driven by lower gains on sale of the Company's facilities of $4.2 million.

Other operating expenses (income), net were $3.8 million and $(6.7) million during the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The net increase in expense was primarily driven by lower gains on sale of the Company's facilities of $4.2 million and a decrease in payroll related tax reserves of $4.3 million due to the lapse of statute of limitations.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), net

Interest and other income (expense), net were $(2.7) million and $(0.2) million for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. This net increase in expense was primarily driven by an increase in net foreign exchange losses of $1.7 million attributable mainly to U.S. dollar appreciation during the period against the Japanese Yen.

28




Interest and other income (expense), net were $(11.2) million and $(2.0) million for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. This net increase in expense was primarily driven by a net increase in foreign exchange losses of $8.5 million attributable mainly to U.S. dollar appreciation during the period against the Japanese Yen.

Provision for Income Taxes

In the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $22.8 million and $92.7 million respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $88.9 million and $152.5 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded income tax that was netted against income from discontinued operations of $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013 and $13.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012.
 
The Company's federal statutory tax rate is 35%. The Company's income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013 was lower than the amount computed by applying the statutory tax rate primarily because the earnings of foreign subsidiaries were taxed at lower rates. The Company's income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013 included a $7.1 million benefit for research tax credits for the fiscal year 2012 and first two quarters of fiscal year 2013 that was generated by the retroactive extension of the federal research tax credit to January 1, 2012 by legislation that was signed into law on January 2, 2013. The Company's income tax provision for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 included a $21.4 million discrete tax charge for research and development expenses of a foreign subsidiary for which no tax benefit was available.

The Company's income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 was higher than the amount computed by applying the statutory tax rate primarily because of a $56.0 million discrete tax charge for research and development expenses of a foreign subsidiary for which no tax benefit was available.
In fiscal year 2012 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011, which is still ongoing.

Discontinued operations

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company sold its video processing product line for a total estimated consideration valued at $8.5 million. As a result of this transaction the Company recognized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of $2.6 million, net of income taxes.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company sold its clock synchronization business for a total sale price of approximately $44.0 million. The Company also sold certain future technologies, including die types that will result in future products, in the storage area. The total sale price for this transaction was approximately $15.0 million. As a result of these two transactions, the Company recognized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of $31.8 million, net of income taxes.

BACKLOG

At March 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012, our current quarter backlog was approximately $386 million and $353 million, respectively. We include in backlog orders with customer request dates within the next three months. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, these orders may be canceled in most cases without penalty to customers. In addition, backlog includes orders from domestic distributors for which revenues are not recognized until the products are sold by the distributors. Accordingly, we believe that our backlog is not a reliable measure of future revenues. All backlog numbers have been adjusted for estimated future U.S. distribution ship and debit pricing adjustments.

(101,990

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities.

Cash from operations for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 increased by approximately $36.9 million compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2012. This was due to a higher net income of $59.8 million and lower gain on discontinued operations of $42.1 million as we divested the clock synchronization business and certain future technologies relating to the Storage reporting unit in fiscal year 2012, as compared to only the video processing product line divestiture in fiscal year 2013. These increases were offset by a net cash flow increase in inventory of $49.2 million to support future higher quarterly revenue levels.

Investing activities

Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures, net investment purchases and maturities and acquisitions.

Cash used in investing activities decreased by $202.7 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in cash used for acquisitions of $166.3 million relating to SensorDynamics and other fiscal year 2012 acquisitions.

Financing activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of repurchases of common stock and payment of dividends to stockholders.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by approximately $529.3 million for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the issuance of the $500 million notes net of paid issuance cost and discount of $8.9 million and higher proceeds received on exercise of stock options of $28.7 million due to a higher average share price over the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Debt Levels
On March 18, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.38% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes due March 15, 2023. (Please refer to Note 5: Financial Instruments to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

On June 17, 2010, the Company completed a public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.45% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes due on June 14, 2013, which the Company anticipates paying on the due date. In addition, on July 18, 2011, we acquired certain fixed and floating rate notes in conjunction with our acquisition of SensorDynamics.

Outstanding debt is at $808 million and $309 million as of March 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, bearing weighted average interest rates of 3.48% and 3.45% for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and for the year ended June 30, 2012, respectively.


30



As of March 30, 2013, our available funds consisted of $1,573.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We anticipate that the available funds and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet cash and working capital requirements, including the anticipated level of capital expenditures, common stock repurchases, debt repayments and dividend payments for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of March 30, 2013, the Company did not have any material off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate and foreign currency risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company's net revenues and on operating income during the nine months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was not material.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer ("CEO") and our chief financial officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of March 30, 2013. Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 30, 2013. The purpose of these controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the nine months ended March 30, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

A system of internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance. The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect financial statement errors and misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In August 2011, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $750 million of the Company's common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company's management. This stock repurchase authorization has no expiration date. All prior authorizations by the Company's Board of Directors for the repurchase of common stock were canceled and superseded by this authorization.

In the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares of its common stock for approximately $66.3 million. As of March 30, 2013, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to an additional $369.3 million of the Company's common stock. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company's common stock and general market and business conditions.
