Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes a number of forward-looking statements that involve many risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the words “would,” “could,” “will,” “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “should,” “anticipate,” “if,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “potential,” “target,” “seek,” or “continue” and similar words and phrases, including the negatives of these terms, or other variations of these terms, that denote future events. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and our potential financial performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially and/or adversely from what is projected or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These factors include, but are not limited to: if demand for our products declines in our major end markets, our net revenues will decline; we do not have long-term contracts with any of our customers and if they fail to place, or if they cancel or reschedule orders for our products, our operating results and our business may suffer; our products are sold through distributors, which limits our direct interaction with our end customers, therefore reducing our ability to forecast sales and increasing the complexity of our business; we face competition from an array of other semiconductor companies, which puts downward pressure on our prices and can result in reduced sales volumes for our products; widespread health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may disrupt our operations, including our manufacturing, research and development, and sales and marketing activities, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business and has or could exacerbate the risks discussed herein; we depend on third-party suppliers to provide us with wafers for our products, and if they fail to provide us sufficient quantities of wafers, our business may suffer; if our products do not penetrate additional markets, our business will not grow as we expect; if we are unable to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we could lose market share, incur costly litigation expenses, suffer incremental price erosion or lose valuable assets, any of which could harm our operations and negatively impact our profitability; and the other risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in Part I, Item 2 - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We make these forward-looking statements based upon information available on the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise, except as required by laws.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in its Form 10-K filed on February 7, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The FASB established a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company does not intend to sell and it is unlikely that it will be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The issuers are high quality (investment grade) and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. Additionally, the issuers continue to make timely interest payments on the marketable securities with the fair value expected to recover as they reach maturity.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recognized in accordance with ASC 718-10 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	6,752	$	3,679	$	14,120	$	12,692

Stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $6.8 million, comprising approximately $5.3 million related to restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, $0.5 million related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and $1.0 million related to performance-based (“PSU”) awards and long-term performance-based (“PRSU”) awards. Stock-based compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $14.1 million, comprising approximately $11.2 million related to RSUs, $1.0 million related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and $1.9 million related to PSUs and PRSUs.

Stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $3.7 million, comprising approximately $5.3 million related to RSUs, $0.5 million related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and $2.1 million credit related to PSUs and PRSUs. Stock-based compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $12.7 million, comprising approximately $10.9 million related to RSUs, $0.9 million related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and $0.9 million related to PSUs and PRSUs.

PSU Awards

Under the performance-based awards program, the Company grants awards in the performance year in an amount equal to twice the target number of shares to be issued if the maximum performance metrics are met. The number of shares that are released at the end of the performance year can range from zero to 200% of the target number depending on the Company’s performance. The performance metrics of this program are annual targets consisting of a combination of net revenue, non-GAAP operating income and strategic goals.

As the net revenue, non-GAAP operating income and strategic goals are considered performance conditions, expense associated with these awards, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized over the service period based on an assessment of the expected achievement of the performance targets. The fair value of these PSUs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, reduced by the discounted present value of dividends expected to be declared before the awards vest. If the performance conditions are not achieved, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation is reversed.

In February 2023, it was determined that approximately 34,000 shares subject to the PSUs granted in 2022 vested in aggregate; the shares were released to the Company’s employees and executives in the first quarter of 2023.

PRSU Awards

The Company’s PRSU program provides for the issuance of PRSUs which will vest based on the Company’s performance measured against the PRSU program’s established performance targets. PRSUs are granted in an amount equal to twice the target number of shares to be issued if the maximum performance metrics are met. The actual number of shares the recipient receives is determined at the end of a three-year performance period based on results achieved versus the Company’s performance goals, and may range from zero to 200% of the target number. The performance goals for PRSUs granted in fiscal 2021, 2022 and 2023 were based on the Company’s compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of revenue as measured against the revenue CAGR of the analog semiconductor industry (“Relative Measure”), in each case over the respective three-year performance period. In addition, the PRSUs granted in 2023 (“2023 PRSUs”) also include a performance goal related to the Company’s revenue growth over the respective three-year performance period as compared to defined targets (“Absolute Measure”) with the actual vesting of the 2023 PRSUs calculated based on higher achievement under the Relative Measure or the Absolute Measure. Expense associated with these awards, net of estimated forfeitures, is recorded throughout the year based on an assessment of the expected achievement of the performance targets. If the performance conditions are not achieved, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation is reversed.

In February 2023, it was determined that approximately 23,000 shares subject to the PRSUs granted in 2020 vested in aggregate; the shares were released to the Company’s executives in the first quarter of 2023.

7. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC NET REVENUES:

Segment Reporting

The Company is organized and operates as one reportable segment, the design, development, manufacture and marketing of integrated circuits and related components for use primarily in the high-voltage power-conversion market. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

Customer Concentration

The Company’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 82% and 79% of net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 77% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. A significant portion of these revenues are attributable to sales of the Company’s products to distributors of electronic components. These distributors sell the Company’s products to a broad, diverse range of end users, including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and merchant power-supply manufacturers. Similarly, merchant power-supply manufacturers sell power supplies incorporating the Company’s products to a broad range of OEMs. Sales to distributors were $78.8 million and $145.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $133.9 million and $269.7 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods of 2022. Direct sales to OEMs and power-supply manufacturers accounted for the remainder.

The following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
Customer	2023		2022		2023		2022

Salcomp Group	14	%	*		13	%	*
Flextronics Group	12	%	*		11	%	*

* Total customer revenue was less than 10% of net revenues.

No other customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues in the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade receivables. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 87% of accounts receivable were concentrated with the Company’s top ten customers.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares included in this calculation consist of dilutive shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, the assumed issuance of awards under the stock purchase plan and contingently issuable performance-based awards, as computed using the treasury stock method.

A summary of the earnings per share calculation is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Basic earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share	$	0.26	$	0.97	$	0.38	$	1.75
Diluted earnings per share: ⁽¹⁾
Net income	$	14,793	$	55,824	$	21,668	$	102,072

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.26	$	0.96	$	0.38	$	1.72

(1)

The Company includes the shares underlying performance-based awards in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the performance conditions have been satisfied as of the end of the reporting period and excludes such shares when the necessary conditions have not been met. The Company has excluded the shares underlying the outstanding performance-based awards in the 2023 and 2022 calculations as the shares were not contingently issuable as of the end of the reporting periods.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, no outstanding stock awards were determined to be anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

10. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

Income-tax expense includes a provision for federal, state and foreign taxes based on the annual estimated effective tax rate applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, adjusted for certain discrete items which are fully recognized in the period they occur. Accordingly, the interim effective tax rate may not be reflective of the annual estimated effective tax rate.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were 3.7% and 5.1%, respectively, and 8.1% and 9.2%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate in these periods were lower than the statutory federal income-tax rate of 21% due to the geographic distribution of the Company’s world-wide earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions and federal research tax credits. Additionally, in the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a discrete item associated with recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was favorably impacted by discrete items associated with the release of unrecognized tax benefits and

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was favorably impacted by discrete items associated with the release of unrecognized tax benefits and recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. These benefits were partially offset by foreign income subject to U.S. tax, known as global intangible low-taxed income. The Company’s primary jurisdiction where foreign earnings are derived is the Cayman Islands, which is a non-taxing jurisdiction. Income earned in other foreign jurisdictions was not material. The Company has not been granted any incentivized tax rates and does not operate under any tax holidays in any jurisdiction.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company maintained a valuation allowance on its California deferred tax assets, New Jersey deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets relating to tax credits in Canada.

Determining the consolidated provision for income-tax expense, income-tax liabilities and deferred tax assets and liabilities involves judgment. The Company calculates and provides for income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates, which involves estimating current tax exposures as well as making judgments regarding the recoverability of deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction. The estimates used could differ from actual results, which may have a significant impact on operating results in future periods.

11. COMMITMENTS:

Supplier Agreements

Under the terms of the Company’s wafer-supply agreements with Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson") and ROHM Lapis Semiconductor Co., Ltd. ("Lapis"), the wafers purchased from these suppliers are priced in U.S. dollars, with mutual sharing of the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar on future purchases. Each year, the Company’s management and these two suppliers review and negotiate future pricing; the negotiated pricing is denominated in U.S. dollars but is subject to contractual exchange-rate provisions. The fluctuation in the exchange rate is shared equally between the Company and each of these suppliers on future purchases.

12. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES:

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in lawsuits, or customers and distributors may make claims against the Company. In accordance with ASC 450-10, Contingencies, the Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

On January 6, 2020, the Company filed a complaint against CogniPower LLC in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of two of the Company’s patents and seeking a declaration of non-infringement with respect to patents that CogniPower had charged the Company’s customers with infringing, based on customer use of the Company’s products. In response, CogniPower filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s declaratory judgment claims on the basis that CogniPower had not threatened the Company directly with suit. That motion was granted, so CogniPower’s claims for infringement initially went forward separately in their lawsuit against the Company’s customers in the District of Delaware, but the Company filed a motion to intervene in that lawsuit and received a ruling allowing the Company to intervene in CogniPower’s customer lawsuit on February 1, 2021, and the parties thereafter agreed to dismiss the Company’s separate lawsuit against CogniPower. The remaining case is currently stayed, but the Company recently filed a motion to amend its claims against CogniPower to include three additional patents that are in the same family as the two CogniPower patents that are already in the lawsuit, after CogniPower accused the Company’s customers of infringing those three related patents in a lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas. A ruling on the Company’s motion is expected in the coming months, and the Company believes it has strong claims and defenses with respect to all of CogniPower’s asserted patents, and intends to vigorously defend itself against CogniPower’s claims against the Company’s technology, with appeals to follow if necessary.

On October 31, 2022, Waverly Licensing LLC filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. In its complaint, Waverly alleged that the Company was infringing one patent

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

pertaining to charging a battery-operated device. The Company believes it has strong claims and defenses, and intends to vigorously defend itself against Waverly’s claims, with appeals to follow if necessary. Because the Company believed that Waverly’s Texas complaint was improperly filed in the wrong court, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, and on November 30, 2022, the Company filed a complaint against Waverly Licensing LLC and related entities IP Edge LLC, Mavexar LLC, and Array IP LLC in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaration of non-infringement with respect to a patent that Waverly charged the Company with infringing. The Texas court thereafter dismissed Waverly’s Texas complaint. The Company’s Delaware lawsuit is in its earliest stages, but on April 6, 2023, the Delaware defendants filed a motion to dismiss based on a series of covenants not to sue that the Delaware defendants filed with the Court, with further proceedings on the Delaware defendants’ motion expected in the coming months.

The Company is unable to predict the outcome of legal proceedings with certainty, and there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the above-mentioned unsettled litigations. These litigations, whether or not determined in the Company’s favor or settled, will be costly and will divert the efforts and attention of the Company’s management and technical personnel from normal business operations, potentially causing a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results. Currently, the Company is not able to estimate a loss or a range of loss for the ongoing litigations disclosed above, however adverse determinations in litigation could result in monetary losses, the loss of proprietary rights, subject the Company to significant liabilities, require the Company to seek licenses from third parties or prevent the Company from licensing the technology, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

13. INDEMNIFICATIONS:

The Company sells products to its distributors under contracts, collectively referred to as Distributor Sales Agreements (“DSA”). Each DSA contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the distributor, and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the distributor against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the distributor in the event the Company’s products are found to infringe upon a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of a third party (“Customer Indemnification”). The DSA generally limits the scope of and remedies for the Customer Indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects, including, but not limited to, limitations based on time and geography, and a right to replace an infringing product. The Company also, from time to time, has granted a specific indemnification right to individual customers.

The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to such indemnifications. In addition, the Company requires its employees to sign a proprietary information and inventions agreement, which assigns the rights to its employees’ development work to the Company. To date, the Company has not had to reimburse any of its distributors or customers for any losses related to these indemnifications and no material claims were outstanding as of June 30, 2023. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnifications.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis has been prepared as an aid to understanding our financial condition and results of operations. It should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with the consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2023. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in Part II, Item 1A - “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report.

Overview

We design, develop and market analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (“ICs”) and other electronic components and circuitry used in high-voltage power conversion. Our products are used in power converters that convert electricity from a high-voltage source to the type of power required for a specified downstream use. In most cases, this conversion entails, among other functions, converting alternating current (“AC”) to direct current (“DC”) or vice versa, reducing or increasing the voltage, and regulating the output voltage and/or current according to the customer’s specifications.

A large percentage of our products are ICs used in AC-DC power supplies, which convert the high-voltage AC from a wall outlet to the low-voltage DC required by most electronic devices. Power supplies incorporating our products are used with all manner of electronic products including mobile phones, computing and networking equipment, appliances, electronic utility meters, battery-powered tools, industrial controls, and “home-automation,” or “internet of things” applications such as networked thermostats, power strips and security devices. We also supply high-voltage LED drivers, which are AC-DC ICs specifically designed for lighting applications that utilize light-emitting diodes, and motor-driver ICs addressing brushless DC (“BLDC”) motors used in refrigerators, HVAC systems, ceiling fans and other consumer-appliance and light commercial applications.

We also offer high-voltage gate drivers—either standalone ICs or circuit boards containing ICs, electrical isolation components and other circuitry—used to operate high-voltage switches such as insulated-gate bipolar transistors (“IGBTs”) and silicon-carbide (“SiC”) MOSFETs. These combinations of switches and drivers are used for power conversion in high-power applications (i.e., power levels ranging from a few kilowatts up to gigawatts) such as industrial motors, solar- and wind-power systems, electric vehicles (“EVs”) and high-voltage DC transmission systems.

Our products bring a number of important benefits to the power-conversion market compared with less advanced alternatives, including reduced component count and design complexity, smaller size, higher reliability and reduced time-to-market. Our products also reduce the energy consumption of power converters during normal use and in “standby” operation, when the end product is not in use. In addition to the environmental benefits of reduced energy usage, our energy-saving technologies provide a number of benefits to our customers; these include helping them meet the increasingly stringent efficiency standards now in effect for many electronic products, and enabling the elimination of bulky heatsinks used to dissipate the heat produced by wasted electricity.

While the size of our addressable market fluctuates with changes in macroeconomic and industry conditions, the market has generally exhibited a modest growth rate over time as growth in the unit volume of power converters has been offset to a large degree by reductions in the average selling price of components in this market. Therefore, the growth of our business depends largely on increasing our penetration of the markets that we serve and on further expanding our addressable market. Our growth strategy includes the following elements:

●

Increase our penetration of the markets we serve. We currently address AC-DC applications with power outputs up to approximately 500 watts, gate-driver applications ranging from a few kilowatts up to gigawatts, and motor-drive applications up to approximately 400 watts. Through our research and development efforts, we seek to introduce more advanced products for these markets offering higher levels of integration and performance compared to earlier products. We also continue to expand our sales

and application-engineering staff and our network of distributors, as well as our offerings of technical documentation and design-support tools and services to help customers use our products. These tools and services include our PI Expert™ design software, which we offer free of charge, and our transformer-sample service. In 2022 we launched PowerPros℠, a live online video support service that enables power-supply designers to talk directly with members of our applications engineering team 24 hours a day, six days a week, anywhere in the world.

Our market-penetration strategy also includes capitalizing on the importance of energy efficiency and renewable energy in the power conversion market. For example, our EcoSmart™ technology drastically reduces the amount of energy consumed by electronic products when they are not in use, helping our customers comply with regulations that seek to curb this so-called “standby” energy consumption. Also, our gate-driver products are critical components in energy-efficient DC motor drives, high-voltage DC transmission systems, solar and wind energy systems and electric transportation applications.

●

Increase the size of our addressable market. Prior to 2010 our addressable market consisted of AC-DC applications with up to about 50 watts of output, a served available market (“SAM”) opportunity of approximately $1.5 billion. Since that time we have expanded our SAM to approximately $4 billion through a variety of means. These include the introduction of products that enable us to address higher-power AC-DC applications (such as our Hiper™ product families), the introduction of LED-driver products, and our entry into the gate-driver market through the acquisition of CT-Concept Technologie AG in 2012. In 2016 we introduced the SCALE-iDriver^TM family of ICs, broadening the range of gate-driver applications we can address, and in 2018 we introduced our BridgeSwitch™ motor-driver ICs, addressing BLDC motors, as described above. We have recently introduced a series of automotive-qualified versions of our products, including SCALE-iDriver, InnoSwitch™ and LinkSwitch™ ICs, targeting the EV market; we expect to introduce additional products targeting EVs in the future, and expect automotive applications to become a significant portion of our SAM over time.

Also contributing to our SAM expansion has been the emergence of new applications within the power ranges that our products can address. For example, applications such as “smart” utility meters, battery-powered lawn equipment and bicycles, and USB power receptacles (often installed alongside traditional AC wall outlets) can incorporate our products. The increased use of connectivity, LED lighting and other power-consuming electronic features in consumer appliances has also enhanced our SAM.

Finally, we have expanded our SAM through the development of new technologies that increase the value (and therefore the average selling prices) of our products. For example, our InnoSwitch™ ICs integrate circuitry from the secondary, or low-voltage, side of AC-DC power supplies, whereas earlier product families integrated circuitry only on the primary, or high-voltage side. In 2019 we began incorporating proprietary gallium-nitride (“GaN”) transistors in some our products, enabling a higher level of energy efficiency than ICs with silicon transistors. Since then, we have introduced a variety of new products utilizing GaN technology and we expect to address a wider range of applications with GaN-based products in the years ahead.

We intend to continue expanding our SAM in the years ahead through all of the means described above.

Our quarterly operating results are difficult to predict and subject to significant fluctuations. We plan our production and inventory levels based on internal forecasts of projected customer demand, which are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially. Customers typically may cancel or reschedule orders on short notice without significant penalty and, conversely, often place orders with very short lead times to delivery. Also, external factors such as supply-chain dynamics, widespread health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, and macroeconomic conditions including inflation, fluctuations in interest and exchange rates and bank failures, have caused and can continue to cause our operating results to be volatile. Furthermore, because our industry is intensely price-sensitive, our gross margin (gross profit divided by net revenues) is subject to change based on the relative pricing of solutions that compete with ours. Variations in product mix, end-market mix and customer mix can also cause our gross margin to fluctuate. Because we purchase a large percentage of our silicon wafers from foundries located in Japan, our gross margin is influenced by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen. Changes in the prices of raw materials used in our products, such as copper and gold, can also affect our gross margin. Although our wafer fabrication and assembly operations are

Table of Contents

outsourced, as are most of our test operations, a portion of our production costs are fixed in nature. As a result, our unit costs and gross margin are impacted by the volume of units we produce.

Recent Results

Our net revenues were $123.2 million and $184.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $229.5 million and $366.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We believe that demand for our products has been negatively affected by an array of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors including reduced consumer spending in response to inflation and higher interest rates, softer housing markets, restrictions on economic activity in China driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, and a shift in consumer spending toward travel and services following a period of elevated spending on goods during the pandemic. We believe these factors have exacerbated the effects of an ongoing cyclical downturn in the semiconductor industry; such downturns are commonly experienced in our industry following periods of strong growth during which supply-chain participants tend to accumulate excess inventories.

Our top ten customers, including distributors that resell to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and merchant power supply manufacturers, accounted for 82% and 79% of net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively and 77% of net revenues in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. International sales accounted for 98% of our net revenues in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 96% of our net revenues in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Our gross margin was 51% and 58% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 51% and 57% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable end-market mix and lower manufacturing volume slightly offset by the favorable impact of the dollar/yen exchange rate on our wafer costs.

Total operating expenses were $50.2 million and $46.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $98.4 million and $96.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in operating expenses for the three- and six-month periods were due primarily to higher stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards, increased salary and related expenses, and increased travel-related expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those listed below. We base our estimates on historical facts and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements, in each case in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2023. Currently, our only critical accounting policy relates to revenue recognition.

Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Net revenues. Net revenues consist of revenues from product sales, which are calculated net of returns and allowances. Net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were $123.2 million and $229.5 million, respectively, and $184.0 million and $366.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

The decrease in revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was driven primarily by the consumer and industrial end-markets, reflecting reduced demand and elevated inventories related to consumer-appliances and a broad range of industrial applications. Revenues from the communications and computer markets increased slightly compared to the prior-year period. For the six-month period, revenues for all four end-market categories decreased compared to the corresponding prior-year period. We believe that demand for our products in recent periods has been negatively affected by an array of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors including reduced consumer spending in response to inflation and higher interest rates, softer housing markets, restrictions on economic activity in China driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, and a shift in consumer spending toward travel and services following a period of elevated spending on goods during the pandemic. We believe these factors have exacerbated the effects of an ongoing cyclical downturn in the semiconductor industry; such downturns are commonly experienced in our industry following periods of strong growth during which supply-chain participants tend to accumulate excess inventories.

Our revenue mix by end market for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
End Market	2023		2022		2023		2022
Communications	28	%	18	%	28	%	22	%
Computer	14	%	9	%	14	%	10	%
Consumer	29	%	38	%	27	%	36	%
Industrial	29	%	35	%	31	%	32	%

International sales, consisting of sales outside of the United States of America based on “bill to” customer locations, were $121.1 million and $224.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $176.4 million and $351.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Although power converters using our products are distributed to end markets worldwide, most are manufactured in Asia. As a result, sales to this region represented 86% and 83% of our net revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 80% and 82%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. We expect international sales, and sales to the Asia region in particular, to continue to account for a large portion of our net revenues in the future.

Sales to distributors accounted for 64% and 63% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 73% and 74%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Direct sales to OEMs and power-supply manufacturers accounted for the remainder.

Salcomp Group	14	%	*		13	%	*
Flextronics Group	12	%	*		11	%	*

*Total customer revenue was less than 10% of net revenues.

No other customers accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues in these periods.

Gross profit. Gross profit is net revenues less cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues consists primarily of costs associated with the purchase of wafers from our contracted foundries, the assembly, packaging and testing of our products by sub-contractors, product testing performed in our own facilities, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and overhead associated with the management of our supply chain. Gross margin is gross profit divided by net revenues. The table below compares gross profit and gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023			2022			2023			2022
Net revenues	$	123.2		$	184.0		$	229.5		$	366.1
Gross profit	$	62.8		$	106.8		$	116.8		$	207.5
Gross margin		51.0	%		58.1	%		50.9	%		56.7	%

The decrease in our gross margin was primarily due to unfavorable end-market mix and lower manufacturing volume slightly offset by the favorable impact of the dollar/yen exchange rate on our wafer costs.

Research and development expenses. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, and expensed material and facility costs associated with the development of new technologies and new products. We also record R&D expenses for prototype wafers related to new products until such products are released to production. The table below compares R&D expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
R&D expenses	$	24.5	$	23.5	$	48.5	$	47.2
Headcount (at period end)		283		306		283		306

R&D expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to increased product development costs and equipment-related expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, commissions to sales representatives, amortization of intangible assets and facilities expenses, including expenses associated with our regional sales and support offices. The table below compares S&M expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Sales and marketing expenses	$	17.0	$	16.0	$	32.9	$	32.4
Headcount (at period end)		320		298		320		298

S&M expenses increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, due to higher stock-based compensation expenses, higher salary and related expenses stemming from higher headcount and increased travel-related expenses.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including stock-based compensation expenses, for administration, finance, human resources and general management, as well as consulting, professional services, legal and audit expenses. The table below compares G&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
G&A expenses	$	8.7	$	6.1	$	17.0	$	15.7
Headcount (at period end)		79		76		79		76

G&A expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, due to higher stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards, increased salary and related expenses driven by increased headcount, and increased professional services; these increases were partially offset by decreased patent-litigation expenses and, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, recovery of bad debt.

Other operating expenses, net. Other operating expenses, net were $1.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. This amount consisted of a $2.9 million expense resulting from the settlement of our litigation with Opticurrent LLC on May 16, 2022, in which we agreed to pay Opticurrent $2.9 million to end all outstanding legal disputes, partially offset by receipt of a $1.7 million distribution related to the bankruptcy liquidation of SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc., of which we were a creditor as a result of investments made in SemiSouth in 2011.

Other income. Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, and the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses. The table below compares other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Other income	$	2.7	$	0.7	$	4.4	$	1.2

Other income increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher interest income.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes represents federal, state and foreign taxes. The table below compares income-tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023			2022			2023			2022
Provision for income taxes	$	0.6		$	5.0		$	1.2		$	10.3
Effective tax rate		3.7	%		8.1	%		5.1	%		9.2	%

Income-tax expense includes a provision for federal, state and foreign taxes based on the annual estimated effective tax rate applicable to us and our subsidiaries, adjusted for certain discrete items which are fully recognized in the period in which they occur. Accordingly, the interim effective tax rate may not be reflective of the annual estimated effective tax rate.

Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were 3.7% and 5.1%, respectively, and 8.1% and 9.2%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate in these periods was lower than the statutory federal income-tax rate of 21% due to the geographic distribution of our world-wide earnings in lower-tax jurisdictions and the impact of federal research tax credits. Additionally, in the three months ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a discrete item associated with recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by discrete items associated with the release of unrecognized tax benefits and recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. This benefit was partially offset by U.S. tax on foreign income, known as global intangible low-taxed income. The primary jurisdiction from which our foreign earnings are derived is the Cayman Islands, which is

Table of Contents

a non-taxing jurisdiction. Income earned in other foreign jurisdictions was not material. We have not been granted any incentivized tax rates and do not operate under any tax holidays in any jurisdiction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had $346.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities, a decrease of $7.5 million from $353.8 million as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we had working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, of $486.2 million, an increase of approximately $19.5 million from $466.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

We have a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Credit Agreement") that provides us with a $75.0 million revolving line of credit to use for general corporate purposes with a $20.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of standby and trade letters of credit. The Credit Agreement was amended on June 7, 2021, to provide an alternate borrowing rate as a replacement for LIBOR and extend the termination date from April 30, 2022, to June 7, 2026, with all other terms remaining the same. The Credit Agreement was amended with an effective date of June 28, 2023 to include the Secured Overnight Financing Rates (“SOFR”) as interest rate benchmark rates, with all other terms remaining the same. Our ability to borrow under the revolving line of credit is conditioned upon our compliance with specified covenants, including reporting and financial covenants, primarily a minimum liquidity measure and a debt to earnings ratio, with which we are currently in compliance. The Credit Agreement terminates on June 7, 2026; all advances under the revolving line of credit will become due on such date, or earlier in the event of a default. No advances were outstanding under the agreement as of June 30, 2023.

Cash From Operating Activities

Operating activities generated $22.8 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net income for this period was $21.7 million; we also incurred depreciation, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles and amortization premiums on marketable securities of $17.7 million, $14.1 million, $1.1 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. Sources of cash also included a $8.8 million increase in accounts payable (excluding payables related to property and equipment) due to timing of payments. These sources of cash were partially offset by a $14.3 million increase in inventories, a $7.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets primarily due to federal income tax prepayments, a $10.8 million increase in accounts receivable, a $5.4 million decrease in taxes payable and accrued liabilities primarily due to timing of customer rebate payments, and a $2.8 million increase in deferred income taxes.

Operating activities generated $141.4 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net income for this period was $102.1 million; we also incurred depreciation, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, premium amortization on marketable securities and intangibles amortization of $17.2 million, $12.7 million, $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Sources of cash also included a $13.2 million decrease in accounts receivable due to the timing of collections, a $5.6 million increase in accounts payable (excluding payables related to property and equipment) and a $4.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets. These sources of cash were partially offset by a $12.0 million increase in inventories and a $2.5 million decrease in taxes payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash From Investing Activities

Our investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 resulted in a $19.4 million net use of cash, primarily consisting of $12.2 million used for purchases of marketable securities net of proceeds from sales and maturities, and $7.2 million used for purchases of property and equipment, primarily production-related machinery and equipment.

Our investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 generated $78.1 million of cash, primarily consisting of $104.8 million from sales and maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases, offset by $27.9 million for purchases of property and equipment, primarily production-related machinery and equipment, partially offset by proceeds of $1.2 million from the sale of an office building.

Cash From Financing Activities

Our financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 resulted in a $24.7 million net use of cash, consisting of $6.0 million for the repurchase of our common stock and $21.8 million for the payment of dividends to stockholders, partially offset by $3.1 million from the issuance of shares through our employee stock purchase plan.

Table of Contents

Our financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in a $310.2 million net use of cash, consisting of $292.3 million for the repurchase of our common stock and $20.9 million for the payment of dividends to stockholders, partially offset by $3.1 million from the issuance of shares through our employee stock purchase plan.

Dividends

In January 2022, our board of directors declared dividends of $0.18 per share to be paid to stockholders of record at the end of each quarter in 2022. In February 2023, our board of directors declared dividends of $0.19 per share to be paid to stockholders of record at the end of each quarter in 2023.

Dividend payouts of $10.9 million occurred on each of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The declaration of any future cash dividend is at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions and other factors, as well as a determination that cash dividends are in the best interests of our stockholders.

Stock Repurchases

As of December 31, 2022, we had $81.3 million remaining under our stock-repurchase program. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 80,000 shares of our common stock for $6.0 million, leaving $75.3 million remaining on the repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2023. Authorization of future repurchase programs is at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions and other factors; the program has no expiration date.

Contractual Commitments

As of June 30, 2023 we had a contractual obligation related to income tax, which consisted primarily of unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $23.7 million. A portion of the tax obligation is classified as long-term income taxes payable and a portion is recorded in deferred tax assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of June 30, 2023, there were no material changes in our contractual commitments from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Other Information

Our cash, cash equivalents and investment balances may change in future periods due to changes in our planned cash outlays, including changes in incremental costs such as direct and integration costs related to future acquisitions. Current U.S. tax laws generally allow companies to repatriate accumulated foreign earnings without incurring additional U.S. federal taxes. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2023, our worldwide cash and marketable securities are available to fund capital allocation needs, including capital and internal investments, acquisitions, stock repurchases and/or dividends without incurring additional U.S. federal income taxes.

If our operating results deteriorate in future periods, either as a result of a decrease in customer demand, pricing and/or cost pressures, or for other reasons, our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations may be jeopardized. In that case, we may be forced to use our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, use our current financing or seek additional financing from third parties to fund our operations. We believe that cash generated from operations, together with existing sources of liquidity, will satisfy our projected working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months, and we anticipate that we will continue to be able to fund liquidity requirements through cash provided by our operations for the foreseeable future. However, we may experience reduced cash flow from operations as a result of the cyclical nature of our business along with other macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk during the first six months of 2023. For a discussion of our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk, refer to our market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the 2022 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls

Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance as to the tested objectives. 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, regardless of how remote. The inherent limitations in any control system include the realities that judgments related to decision-making can be faulty, and that reduced effectiveness in controls can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error may occur and may not be detected.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is required to evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
