This Form 10-Q and certain information incorporated herein by reference contains forward-looking statements, which are provided under the “safe harbor” protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan” and “project” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, our management or third parties, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business strategy, financial condition, results of operations, market data as well as any other statements that are not historical facts. These statements reflect beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by our management and information currently available to us. Although we believe that these beliefs and assumptions are reasonable, these statements are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. These factors, risks and uncertainties expressly qualify all subsequent oral and written forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf and include, in addition to those listed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the following:
•market demand and semiconductor industry conditions;
•our ability to successfully introduce new technologies and products;
•the demand for the goods into which our products are incorporated;
•trade disputes between the U.S. and China, potential increase of barriers to international trade and resulting disruptions to our established supply chains;
•the impact of government actions and regulations, including restrictions on the export of US-regulated products and technology;
•increasing and evolving cybersecurity threats and privacy risks, including theft of sensitive or confidential data;
•our ability to generate sufficient cash, raise sufficient capital or refinance our debt at or before maturity to meet our debt service, research and development and capital investment requirements;
•our ability to accurately estimate demand and match our production capacity accordingly or obtain supplies from third-party producers;
•our access to production from third-party outsourcing partners, and any events that might affect their business or our relationship with them;
•our ability to secure adequate and timely supply of equipment and materials from suppliers;
•our ability to avoid operational problems and product defects and, if such issues were to arise, to correct them quickly;
•our ability to form strategic partnerships and joint ventures and successfully cooperate with our strategic alliance partners;
•our ability to win competitive bid selection processes;
•our ability to develop products for use in our customers’ equipment and products;
•our ability to successfully hire and retain key management and senior product engineers;
•global hostilities, including the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and resulting regional instability, sanctions and any other retaliatory measures taken against Russia, and the continued hostilities and armed conflict in the Middle East, which could adversely impact the global supply chain, disrupt our operations or negatively impact the demand for our products in our primary end markets;
•our ability to maintain good relationships with our suppliers; and
•a change in tax laws could have an effect on our estimated effective tax rates.
We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements and disclaim any obligation to update our view of any risks or uncertainties described herein or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q, except as required by law.
In addition, this Form 10-Q contains information concerning the semiconductor industry, our end markets and business generally, which is forward-looking in nature and is based on a variety of assumptions regarding the ways in which the semiconductor industry, our end markets and business will develop. We have based these assumptions on information currently available to us, including through the market research and industry reports referred to in this Form 10-Q. If any one or more of these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual market results may differ from those predicted. While we do not know what impact any such differences may have on our business, if there are such differences, they could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak to results only as of the date the statements were made. Except for any ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the United States federal securities laws, NXP does not have any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after we distribute this document, whether to reflect any future events or circumstances or otherwise.

The financial information included in this Form 10-Q is based on United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), unless otherwise indicated.
In presenting and discussing our financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to the equivalent U.S. GAAP measures and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. A discussion of non-U.S. GAAP measures included in this Form 10-Q and a reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are set forth under “Use of Certain Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures” contained in this Form 10-Q under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Unless otherwise required, all references herein to “we”, “our”, “us”, “NXP” and the “Company” are to NXP Semiconductors N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
This Form 10-Q includes market data and certain other statistical information and estimates that are based on reports and other publications from industry analysts, market research firms, and other independent sources, as well as management’s own good faith estimates and analyses. NXP believes these third-party reports to be reputable, but has not independently verified the underlying data sources, methodologies or assumptions. The reports and other publications referenced are generally available to the public and were not commissioned by NXP. Information that is based on estimates, forecasts, projections, market research or similar methodologies is inherently subject to uncertainties and actual events or circumstances may differ materially from events and circumstances reflected in this information.

NXP SEMICONDUCTORS N.V.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
All amounts in millions of $ unless otherwise stated
1 Basis of Presentation and Overview
We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
2 Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Significant Accounting Policies
For a discussion of our significant accounting policies see, “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – “Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Recent accounting standards
Accounting standards not yet adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring disclosure of certain incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, including (among other items) additional disclosure about significant segment expenses and that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by this ASU. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt ASU 2023-07 for our annual periods starting in fiscal year 2024 (and interim periods thereafter) on a retrospective basis and continue to evaluate the impact on our disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requiring to disclose annually certain additional disaggregated income tax information related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, among other items. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the new requirements starting for our annual period starting in 2025 and continue to evaluate the basis of adoption and impact on our disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncements were issued or became effective in the period that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

1) There were no stock options to purchase shares of NXP’s common stock that were outstanding in Q1 2024 (Q1 2023: no shares) that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average fair market value of the common stock or the number of shares assumed to be repurchased using the proceeds of unrecognized compensation expense and exercise prices were greater than the weighted average number of shares underlying outstanding stock options.
2) There were no unvested RSUs, PSUs and equity rights that were outstanding in Q1 2024 (Q1 2023: 0.3 million shares) that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the number of shares assumed to be repurchased using the proceeds of unrecognized compensation expense were greater than the weighted average number of outstanding unvested RSUs, PSUs and equity rights or the performance goal has not been met yet.

6 Income Tax
Each year NXP makes an estimate of its annual effective tax rate. This estimated annual effective tax rate ("EAETR") is then applied to the year-to-date Income (loss) before income taxes excluding discrete items, to determine the year-to-date benefit (provision) for income taxes. The income tax effects of any discrete items are recognized in the interim period in which they occur. As the year progresses, the Company continually refines the EAETR based upon actual events and the apportionment of our earnings (loss). This continual estimation process periodically may result in a change to our EAETR for the year. When this occurs, we adjust on an accumulated basis the benefit (provision) for income taxes during the quarter in which the change occurs.
Our provision for income taxes for 2024 is based on our EAETR of 17.5%, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8%, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.

%
15.9
%
The effective tax rate of 17.9% for the first quarter of 2024 was higher than the EAETR due to the income tax expense for discrete items of $2 million. The discrete items are primarily related to changes in estimates for previous years, and the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items.
The effective tax rate of 15.9% for the first quarter of 2023 was lower compared to the current period of 17.9% due to a different mix of the benefit (provision) for income taxes in the locations that we operate in, lower foreign tax incentives in the current period as a result of a decrease in qualifying income, and also due to the impact of the discrete items in the respective periods.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Investments in short-term deposits, representing liquid assets with original maturity beyond three months and having no significant risk of changes in fair value, are represented at carrying value as reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of the instruments and their expected realization. Money market funds (as part of our cash and cash equivalents) and marketable equity securities (as part of other non-current assets) have fair value measurements which are all based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For derivatives (as part of other current assets or accrued liabilities) the fair value is based upon significant other observable inputs depending on the nature of the derivative.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis
We measure and record our non-marketable equity securities, equity method investments and non-financial assets, such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, at fair value when an impairment charge is required.
Assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include non-marketable equity securities and equity method investments that have not been remeasured or impaired in the current period and debt.
As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of current and non-current debt was $9.1 billion ($10.3 billion as of December 31, 2023). The fair value is estimated on the basis of broker-dealer quotes, which are Level 2 inputs. Accrued interest is included under accrued liabilities and not within the carrying amount or estimated fair value of debt.
11 Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
The Company maintains purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials, semi-finished goods and manufacturing services and for some non-production items. Purchase commitments for inventory materials are generally restricted to a forecasted time-horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time-horizon can vary for different suppliers. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had purchase commitments of $4,118 million, which are due through 2044.
Legal Proceedings
We are regularly involved as plaintiffs or defendants in claims and litigation relating to a variety of matters such as contractual disputes, personal injury claims, employee grievances and intellectual property litigation. In addition, our acquisitions, divestments and financial transactions sometimes result in, or are followed by, claims or litigation. Some of these claims may possibly be recovered from insurance reimbursements. Although the ultimate disposition of asserted claims cannot be predicted with certainty, it is our belief that the outcome of any such claims, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, such outcomes may be material to our condensed consolidated statement of operations for a particular period. The Company records an accrual for any claim that arises whenever it considers that it is probable that it is exposed to a loss contingency and the amount of the loss contingency can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not record a gain contingency until the period in which all contingencies are resolved and the gain is realized or realizable. Legal fees are expensed when incurred.

Impinj Patent Litigation
On March 13, 2024, the Company and Impinj, Inc. (“Impinj”) entered into a settlement agreement with the Company paying Impinj an immaterial cash consideration, resolving all outstanding litigation and other proceedings between the parties, with all previously pending litigation and administrative proceedings being dismissed. In addition, each party agreed to release the other party from any claims to damages or monetary relief for alleged acts of patent infringement across the various patent infringement litigations and not to file any additional action for legal or equitable relief. Prior to the settlement, Impinj had initiated a number of lawsuits alleging infringement of their IP rights by certain of our products and we initiated a lawsuit and countersuit alleging infringement of our IP rights by certain products of Impinj.
Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits
The Company is currently assisting Motorola in the defense of personal injury lawsuits due to indemnity obligations included in the agreement that separated Freescale from Motorola in 2004. The multi-plaintiff Motorola lawsuits are pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. These claims allege a link between working in semiconductor manufacturing clean room facilities and birth defects in 21 individuals. The Motorola suits allege exposures between 1980 and 2005. Each claim seeks an unspecified amount of damages for the alleged injuries; however, legal counsel representing the plaintiffs has indicated they will seek substantial compensatory and punitive damages from Motorola for the entire inventory of claims which, if proven and recovered, the Company considers to be material. A portion of any indemnity due to Motorola will be reimbursed to NXP if Motorola receives an indemnification payment from its insurance coverage. Motorola has potential insurance coverage for many of the years indicated above, but with differing types and levels of coverage, self-insurance retention amounts and deductibles. We are in discussions with Motorola and their insurers regarding the availability of applicable insurance coverage for each of the individual cases. Motorola and NXP have denied liability for these alleged injuries based on numerous defenses.
Legal Proceedings Related Accruals and Insurance Coverage
The Company reevaluates at least on a quarterly basis the claims that have arisen to determine whether any new accruals need to be made or whether any accruals made need to be adjusted based on the most current information available to it and based on its best estimate. Based on the procedures described above, the Company has an aggregate amount of $95 million accrued for potential and current legal proceedings pending as of March 31, 2024, compared to $112 million accrued at December 31, 2023 (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements). The accruals are included in “Other current liabilities” and in “Other non-current liabilities”. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s related balance of insurance reimbursements was $67 million (December 31, 2023: $67 million) and is included in “Other non-current assets”.
The Company also estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amount accrued based on currently available information for those cases for which such estimate can be made. The estimated aggregate range requires significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings, the existence of multiple defendants (including the Company) in such claims whose share of liability has yet to be determined, the numerous yet-unresolved issues in many of the claims, and the attendant uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such claims. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more than the current estimate. As at March 31, 2024, the Company believes that for all litigation pending its potential aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued (without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under insurance programs) could range between $0 and $93 million. Based upon our past experience with these matters, the Company would expect to receive additional insurance reimbursement of up to $70 million on certain of these claims that would partially offset the potential aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued.

Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023
From an end market perspective, NXP experienced growth in its Mobile and Industrial IoT end markets which were offset by declines in the Communication Infrastructure & Other and Automotive end markets versus the year ago period.
19
Revenue in the Automotive end market was $1,804 million, a decrease of $24 million or 1.3% versus the year ago period. The decrease in the Automotive end market revenue was attributable to declines in our automotive processors and ADAS – Safety products, which were offset by growth in our advanced analog portfolio.
Revenue in the Industrial & IoT end market was $574 million, an increase of $70 million or 13.9% versus the year ago period. Within the Industrial & IoT end market the year-on-year increase was across the entire product portfolio, including processors, connectivity, advanced analog, and security.
Revenue in the Mobile end market was $349 million, an increase of $89 million or 34.2% versus the year ago period. The increase in the Mobile end market revenue was across the entire product portfolio, including mobile wallet and advanced analog.
Revenue in the Communication Infrastructure & Other end market was $399 million, a decrease of $130 million or 24.6% versus the year ago period. The decrease in revenue in secure cards and RF power products was due to weak end market demand. Communication Infrastructure & Other processors experienced anticipated end-of-life trends.
When aggregating all end markets together, and reviewing sales channel performance, revenues through NXP’s third party distribution partners was $1,739 million, an increase of 16.6% versus the year ago period.

Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $34 million, or 40.0%, when compared to the three months ended April 2, 2023 mainly due to the effect of certain acquisition-related intangibles becoming fully amortized (with regard to the former Freescale acquisition).

Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023
Financial income (expense) was an expense of $70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to an expense of $82 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023. The change in financial income (expense) is attributable to an increase in interest income of $8 million as a result of higher interest rates. Interest expense decreased by $6 million mainly due to the retirement of the 4.875% senior unsecured notes on March 1, 2024.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes
Our provision for income taxes for 2024 is based on our EAETR of 17.5%, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8%, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.

15.9
%
The effective tax rate of 17.9% for the first quarter of 2024 was higher than the EAETR due to the income tax expense for discrete items of $2 million. The discrete items are primarily related to changes in estimates for previous years, and the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items.
Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023
The effective tax rate of 15.9% for the first quarter of 2023 was lower compared to the current period of 17.9% due to a different mix of the benefit (provision) for income taxes in the locations that we operate in, lower foreign tax incentives in the current period as a result of a decrease in qualifying income, and also due to the impact of the discrete items in the respective periods.
Results Relating to Equity-accounted Investees
Results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, whereas the three months ended April 2, 2023 results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $2 million.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests are related to the third-party share in the results of consolidated companies, predominantly SSMC. Their share of non-controlling interests amounted to a profit of $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a profit of $8 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We derive our liquidity and capital resources primarily from our cash flows from operations. We continue to generate strong positive operating cash flows. At the end of the first quarter of 2024, our cash balance was $2,908 million, a decrease of $954 million compared to December 31, 2023 having fully retired our $1 billion aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.875% senior unsecured notes due March 2024 during the quarter. Taking into account the available amount of the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility of $2,500 million, we had access to $5,408 million of liquidity as of March 31, 2024. We currently use cash to fund operations, meet working capital requirements, for capital expenditures and for potential common stock repurchases, dividends and strategic investments. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our current available sources of funds (including cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, RCF Agreement of $2.5 billion, plus anticipated cash generated from operations) will be adequate to finance our operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential dividends for at least the next twelve months.

Cash and short-term deposits
At March 31, 2024, our cash and short-term deposits balance was $3,308 million of which $222 million was held by SSMC, our consolidated joint venture company with TSMC. Under the terms of our joint venture agreement with TSMC, a portion of this cash can be distributed by way of a dividend to us, but 38.8% of the dividend will be paid to our joint venture partner.
Capital expenditures
Our cash outflows for capital expenditures were $226 million in the first three months of 2024, compared to $251 million in the first three months of 2023.
Capital return
Under our Quarterly Dividend Program, interim dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on January 5, 2024 ($261 million) and dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on April 10, 2024 ($260 million).
In the first three months of 2024 we repurchased approximately $303 million of shares.
Debt
Our total debt, inclusive of aggregate principal, unamortized discounts, premiums, debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments, amounted to $10,178 million as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $997 million compared to December 31, 2023 ($11,175 million). On March 1, 2024, we fully retired at maturity our $1 billion aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.875% senior unsecured notes using available cash on balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2024, we had outstanding fixed-rate notes with varying maturities for an aggregate principal amount of $10,250 million (collectively the “Notes”), none are payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the Notes total $3,051 million, with $378 million payable within 12 months
Our net debt position (see section Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures) at March 31, 2024 amounted to $6,870 million, compared to $6,904 million as of December 31, 2023.
Additional Capital Requirements
Expected working and other capital requirements are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. At March 31, 2024, other than for changes disclosed in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Quarterly Report, there have been no other material changes to our expected working and other capital requirements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the first three months of 2024 our operating activities provided $851 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $644 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $290 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(89) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) includes offsetting non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $235 million, share-based compensation of $115 million and changes in deferred taxes of $(64) million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $102 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities as a result of lower purchase volumes and timing related to payments, $25 million increase in receivables and other current assets from prepayments to secure production supply with multiple vendors; partially offset by a $32 million decrease in inventories as a result of inventory control efforts.
For the first three months of 2023 our operating activities provided $632 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $623 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $326 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(315) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) includes offsetting non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $283 million, share-based compensation of $99 million and changes in deferred taxes of $(62) million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $196 million increase in inventories due to increased production levels in order to align inventory on hand with expected demand, $138 million increase in receivables and other current assets due to the linearity of revenue between the two periods, customer mix, and the related timing of cash collection, $33 million increase in other non-current assets from prepayments to secure long-term production supply with multiple vendors; partially offset by $52 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities as a result of timing related to payments.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $274 million for the first three months of 2024 and principally consisted of the cash outflows for capital expenditures of $226 million, $34 million for the purchase of investments (driven primarily by the initial capital contribution of approximately $22 million into European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH), and $32 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets, including EDA (electronic design automation).
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $351 million for the first three months of 2023 and principally consisted of the cash outflows for capital expenditures of $251 million, $42 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets, and $58 million for the purchase of investments.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $1,528 million for the first three months of 2024 was primarily driven by the payment of $1 billion to retire at maturity our outstanding 4.875% senior unsecured notes due March 2024, dividend payment to common stockholders of $261 million, and purchase of treasury shares and restricted stock unit holdings of $303 million; partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock through stock plans of $37 million.
Net cash used for financing activities was $198 million for the first three months of 2023 was primarily driven by the dividend payment to common stockholders of $219 million; partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock through stock plans of $33 million.

Information Regarding Guarantors of NXP (unaudited)
Summarized Combined Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries
All debt instruments are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, by NXP Semiconductors N.V. and issued or guaranteed by NXP USA, Inc., NXP B.V. and NXP LLC, (together, the “Subsidiary Obligors” and together with NXP Semiconductors N.V., the “Obligor Group”). Other than the Subsidiary Obligors, none of the Company’s subsidiaries (together the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guarantee the Notes. The Company consolidates the Subsidiary Obligors in its consolidated financial statements and each of the Subsidiary Obligors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
All of the existing guarantees by the Company rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Obligor Group. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
The following tables present summarized financial information of the Obligor Group on a combined basis, with intercompany balances and transactions between entities of the Obligor Group eliminated and investments and equity in the earnings of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries excluded. The Obligor Group’s amounts due from, amounts due to, and intercompany transactions with Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been disclosed below the table, when material.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. is the head of a fiscal unity for the corporate income tax and VAT that contains the most significant Dutch wholly-owned group companies. The Company is therefore jointly and severally liable for the tax liabilities of the tax entity as a whole, and as such the income tax expense of the Dutch fiscal unity has been included in the Net income of the Obligor Group.
The financial information of the Obligor Group includes sales executed through a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary single-billing entity as a sales agent on behalf of an entity in the Obligor Group. The Obligor Group has sales to non-guarantors (for the three months ended March 31, 2024: $178 million). The Obligor Group has amounts due from equity financing (March 31, 2024: $7,299 million; December 31, 2023: $5,441 million) and due to debt financing (March 31, 2024: $2,692 million; December 31, 2023: $2,346 million) with non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial information on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”), NXP also provides selected financial measures on a non-GAAP basis which are adjusted for specified items. The adjustments made to achieve these non-GAAP financial measures or the non-GAAP financial measures as specified are described below, including the usefulness to management and investors.
In managing NXP’s business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. In measuring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions taken to reduce costs with the goal of increasing our gross margin and operating margin and when assessing appropriate levels of research and development efforts. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and other operating expenses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting NXP’s business. We believe that they enable investors to perform additional comparisons of our operating results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of expenses unrelated to core operating performance, certain non-cash expenses and share-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in NXP’s underlying performance. This information also enables investors to compare financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management.
The presentation of these and other similar items in NXP’s non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure
Definition
Usefulness to Management and Investors
Purchase price accounting effects
Purchase price accounting ("PPA") effects reflect the fair value adjustments impacting acquisition accounting and other acquisition adjustments charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This typically relates to inventory, property, plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets, such as developed technology and marketing and customer relationships acquired. The PPA effects are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements. These charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years.
We believe that excluding these charges related to fair value adjustments for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures allows the users of our financial statements to better understand the historic and current cost of our products, our gross margin, our operating costs, our operating margin, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.
Restructuring
Restructuring charges are costs primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. Charges related to restructuring are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements
We exclude restructuring charges, including any adjustments to charges recorded in prior periods, for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation consists of incentive expense granted to eligible employees in the form of equity based instruments. Charges related to share-based compensation are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements.
We exclude charges related to share-based compensation for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe these charges, which are non-cash, are not representative of our core operating performance as they can fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within our control, such as our stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a useful view, through the eyes of management, of our core business model, how management currently evaluates core operational performance, and additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Other incidentals
Other incidentals consist of certain items which may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. These may include such items as process and product transfer costs, certain charges related to acquisitions and divestitures, litigation and legal settlements, costs associated with the exit of a product line, factory or facility, environmental or governmental settlements, and other items of similar nature.
We exclude these certain items which may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company’s core operating performance for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.

Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure
Definition
Usefulness to Management and Investors
Non-GAAP Provision for income taxes
Non-GAAP provision for income taxes is NXP's GAAP provision for income taxes adjusted for the income tax effects of the adjustments to our GAAP measure, including the effects of purchase price accounting (“PPA”), restructuring costs, share-based compensation, other incidental items and certain other adjustments to financial income (expense) items. Additionally, adjustments are made for the income tax effect of any discrete items that occur in the interim period. Discrete items primarily relate to unexpected tax events that may occur as these amounts cannot be forecasted (e.g., the impact of changes in tax law and/or rates, changes in estimates or resolved tax audits relating to prior year tax provisions, the excess or deficit tax effects on share-based compensation, etc.).
The non-GAAP provision for income taxes is used to ascertain and present on a comparable basis NXP's provision for income tax after adjustments, the usefulness of which is described within this table. Additionally, the income tax effects of the adjustments to achieve the noted non-GAAP measures are used to determine NXP's non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and accordingly, our diluted non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to stockholders.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow represents operating cash flow adjusted for net additions to property, plant and equipment.
We believe that free cash flow provides insight into our cash-generating capability and our financial performance, and is an efficient means by which users of our financial statements can evaluate our cash flow after meeting our capital expenditure.
Net debt
Net debt represents total debt (short-term and long-term) after deduction of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits.
We believe this measure provides investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect of calculating our net leverage.
The following are reconciliations of our most comparable US GAAP measures to our non-GAAP measures presented:
