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, 2024.
Use of estimates
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, 2024.
Segment reporting
NXP has one reportable segment representing the entity as a whole, aligning with our organizational structure and with the way our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company.
Our CODM regularly reviews income and expense items at the consolidated company (reporting segment) level and uses net income to evaluate income generated from total assets to evaluate whether and how to reinvest profits into the entity’s operations, shareholder return, acquisitions or otherwise. Net income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results, forecasted information and in competitive analysis. These interim income and expense items are as included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in our notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Chief Executive Officer Succession
Following the previous announcement on April 28, 2025, Kurt Sievers has voluntarily retired as CEO and executive director of the Company effective October 28, 2025. The Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously appointed Rafael Sotomayor to succeed Mr. Sievers as President and CEO and temporary executive director of the Company effective as of October 28, 2025.
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, 2024. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent accounting standards
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and, disclosure of income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated. We have adopted ASU 2023-09 and will implement the applicable disclosure for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
Accounting standards not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. It requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
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.
3 Acquisitions and Divestments
On October 24, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Aviva Links for $243 million in cash, before closing adjustments. Aviva Links is a provider of Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) compliant in-vehicle connectivity solutions. The Aviva Links acquisition complements and expands NXP’s automotive networking solutions in the Automotive and Industrial & IoT end markets. We are currently evaluating the purchase price allocation for this transaction and expect to have our preliminary allocation completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
On October 27, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Kinara, Inc. for $307 million in cash, before closing adjustments. Kinara is an industry leader in high performance, energy-efficient and programmable discrete neural processing units (NPUs). The Kinara acquisition complements and expands NXP’s solutions for AI-powered edge systems in the Industrial & IoT and Automotive end markets. We are currently evaluating the purchase price allocation for this transaction and expect to have our preliminary allocation completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
2025
On June 17, 2025, NXP announced the closing of the acquisition of 100% of TTTech Auto for $766 million in cash ($679 million net of cash acquired). TTTech Auto is a leader in innovating unique safety-critical systems and middleware for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The TTTech Auto acquisition complements and expands NXP’s system and software offerings in the Automotive and Industrial & IoT end markets.

| Goodwill | 307 | |
| Net assets acquired | 766 | |
The final determination of the fair values of certain assets and liabilities will be completed in the quarters subsequent to the acquisition date.
Goodwill arising from the TTTech Auto acquisition is attributed to the anticipated growth from new product sales, sales to new customers, the assembled workforce, and synergies expected from the combination. The goodwill recognized is non-deductible for income tax purposes.
The identified intangible assets assumed were recognized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fair value | | Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (in Years) |
| Software | | 267 | | | 11.5 |
| Technology | | 25 | | | 11.5 |
| Customer relationships | | 49 | | | 8.5 |
| Order backlog | | 4 | | | 3.5 |
| Total identified intangible assets | | 345 | | | |
The income approach was applied to estimate the fair values of the intangible assets acquired. Software, technology, customer relationships, and order backlog were valued using the excess earnings method, which reflects the present values of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the software, technology, customer relationships, and order backlog less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows.
There were no material divestments during the first nine months of 2025.
2024
There were no material acquisitions or divestments during the first nine months of 2024.
4 Assets Held for Sale
In the second quarter of 2025, NXP management, in reviewing its portfolio, concluded that certain activities related to our MEMS sensors business line no longer fit the NXP strategic portfolio and took actions that resulted in the business line meeting the criteria to be classified as held for sale. On July 24, 2025, NXP reached a definitive agreement with STMicroelectronics International N.V., under which NXP will sell the business for an amount up to $950 million in cash, including $900 million at closing and up to an additional $50 million subject to the achievement of technical milestones. Subject to customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close during 2026. The carrying value of these assets held for sale as of September 28, 2025, are comprised of current assets of $87 million and non-current assets of $205 million, which consists primarily of goodwill of $170 million.

6 Restructuring
At each reporting date, we evaluate our restructuring liabilities, which consist primarily of termination benefits, to ensure that our accruals are still appropriate.
The following table presents the changes in restructuring liabilities in 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of January 1, 2025 | | Additions | | Utilized | | Released | | Other changes | | As of September 28, 2025 |
| Restructuring liabilities | 157 | | | 89 | | | (137) | | | (5) | | | 5 | | | 109 | |
The total restructuring liability as of September 28, 2025 of $109 million is classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under current liabilities ($49 million) and non-current liabilities ($60 million).
The restructuring charges for the nine-month period ending September 28, 2025 primarily consist of $89 million for personnel related costs for specific targeted actions, offset by a $5 million release for an earlier program. The restructuring charges for the nine-month period ending September 29, 2024 consist of $21 million for personnel related costs for specific targeted actions, offset by a $9 million release for an earlier program.
These restructuring charges recorded in operating income, for the periods indicated, are included in the following line items in the statement of operations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the three months ended | | For the nine months ended |
| September 28, 2025 | | September 29, 2024 | | September 28, 2025 | | September 29, 2024 |

| | | | | | | |
| Net restructuring charges | 3 | | | — | | | 84 | | | 13 | |
7 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 2025 is based on our EAETR of 18.7%, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8%, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the three months ended | | For the nine months ended |
| September 28, 2025 | | September 29, 2024 | | September 28, 2025 | | September 29, 2024 |
| Tax benefit (provision) calculated at EAETR | (149) | | | (160) | | | (380) | | | (446) | |
| Discrete tax benefit (provision) items | 1 | | | (13) | | | (14) | | | (22) | |
| Benefit (provision) for income taxes | (148) | | | (173) | | | (394) | | | (468) | |
| | | | | | | |
| Effective tax rate | 18.6 | % | | 19.0 | % | | 19.4 | % | | 18.6 | % |
The effective tax rate of 18.6% for the third quarter of 2025 was lower than the EAETR due to the income tax benefit for discrete items of $1 million. The discrete items are primarily related to the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items, changes in estimates for previous years, and changes in the litigation accrual and related insurance reimbursements relating to the Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits regarding previous years.
For the first nine months ended 2025, the effective tax rate of 19.4% was higher than 18.7% due to a net result of unfavorable discrete items of $14 million. These discrete items are primarily related to the impact of changes in estimates for previous years, and changes in the litigation accrual and related insurance reimbursements relating to the Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits.
The effective tax rate of 19.4% for the first nine months of 2025 was higher compared to the rate for the first nine months ended 2024 of 18.6% due to a different mix of the benefit (provision) for income taxes in our operating locations and lower foreign tax incentives in the current period as a result of a decrease in qualifying income.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented as of 2026. We have assessed that there is effectively no material tax impact on our consolidated financial statements. We also note that there is still unclarity about what the G7 statement in relation to the US on global minimum taxes, as announced on June 28, 2025, could mean for the Company.

11 Fair Value Measurements
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Estimated fair value |
| Fair value hierarchy | | September 28, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| Assets: | | | | | |
| Short-term deposits | 1 | | 500 | | | — | |
| Money market funds | 1 | | 2,373 | | | 2,398 | |
| Marketable equity securities | 1 | | 1 | | | 2 | |
| Derivative instruments-assets | 2 | | 4 | | | 2 | |
| | | | | |
| Liabilities: | | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| Derivative instruments-liabilities | 2 | | (9) | | | (10) | |
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 September 28, 2025, the estimated fair value of current and non-current debt was $11.5 billion ($9.8 billion as of December 31, 2024). The fair value is estimated on the basis of broker-dealer quotes and other observable inputs, which are Level 2 inputs. Accrued interest is included under accrued liabilities and not within the carrying amount or estimated fair value of debt. Given the short tenure of the Company’s commercial paper notes, the carrying value of the outstanding commercial paper notes approximates the fair values, and therefore are excluded from the values above ($15 million as of September 28, 2025 and no outstanding commercial paper notes as of December 31, 2024).
12 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 September 28, 2025, other than foundry joint venture commitments, the Company had purchase
commitments of $3,341 million, which are due through 2044.
Foundry Joint Venture Commitments
Driven by our investment in VSMC, NXP has committed to invest an additional $1,251 million in equity through 2026. NXP has committed to contribute an additional $540 million to support the long-term capacity infrastructure that is expected to be paid through 2026. In addition, NXP has an agreed purchase commitment with VSMC that over the lifetime of the factory the minimal loading will be between 80% - 90%, resulting in a total purchase commitment of approximately $14,096 million that is expected to be purchased over 37 years once wafer production starts.
Related to our investment in ESMC, NXP has committed to invest an additional $449 million in equity through 2028.
Lease Commitments
The Company has operating and finance lease arrangements related to buildings (corporate offices, research and development and manufacturing facilities and datacenters), land, machinery and installations and other equipment (vehicles and certain office equipment). As of September 28, 2025, amounts related to future lease payments for operating lease obligations totaled $531 million (December 31, 2024: $321 million), which are due through 2048. The increase in Q3 2025 resulted from a lease agreement for a new greenfield facility with office and lab areas, commencing in 2030 with a fixed 20-year term.
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.
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. The Company is in process of finalizing agreements to resolve 4 cases, and claims from 5 individuals remain pending in Cook County. 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 $116 million accrued for potential and current legal proceedings as of September 28, 2025, compared to $281 million accrued at December 31, 2024 (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements). The accruals are included in “Other current liabilities” and in “Other non-current liabilities”. As of September 28, 2025, the Company’s related balance of insurance reimbursements was $92 million (December 31, 2024: $259 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 September 28, 2025, 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 $116 million. Based upon our past experience with these matters, the Company would expect to receive additional insurance reimbursement of up to $92 million on certain of these claims that would partially offset the potential aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued.

SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 increased by $4 million, or 0.5%, when compared to the nine months ended September 29, 2024 due to higher expenses related to our closed or pending acquisitions ($23 million), offset by a reduction in variable compensation costs ($21 million).

YTD 2025 compared to YTD 2024
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets for the nine months ended September 28, 2025 decreased by $25 million, or 23.1%, when compared to the nine months ended September 29, 2024 primarily due to the effect of certain acquisition-related intangibles becoming fully amortized (with regard to the previous Marvell acquisition).
Financial income (expense)
The following table presents the details of financial income and expenses:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| ($ in millions, unless otherwise stated) | Q3 2025 | | Q3 2024 | | YTD 2025 | | YTD 2024 |

| Total | (98) | | | (82) | | | (276) | | | (227) | |
Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024
Financial income (expense) was an expense of $98 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025, compared to an expense of $82 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024. Interest income remained flat, whereas interest expense increased by $22 million due to the interest expenses on the issuance of new bonds, interest expenses on the EIB loans as well as the commercial paper. Within Other financial income/ (expense), fair value adjustments in equity securities resulted in no result for the three months ended September 28, 2025 versus a loss of $7 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024.
YTD 2025 compared to YTD 2024
Financial income (expense) was an expense of $276 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025, compared to an expense of $227 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024. Interest income decreased by $14 million due to lower cash levels, whereas interest expense increased by $41 million due to the interest expenses due to issuance of new bonds, interest expenses on the EIB loans and commercial paper. Within Other financial income/ (expense), fair value adjustments in equity securities resulted in a loss of $2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025, versus a loss of $12 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes
Our provision for income taxes for 2025 is based on our EAETR of 18.7%, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8%, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Effective tax rate | 18.6 | % | | 19.0 | % | | 19.4 | % | | 18.6 | % |
Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024
The effective tax rate of 18.6% for the third quarter of 2025 was lower than the EAETR due to the income tax benefit for discrete items of $1 million. The discrete items are primarily related to the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items, changes in estimates for previous years, and changes in the litigation accrual and related insurance reimbursements relating to the Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits regarding previous years.
YTD 2025 compared to YTD 2024
For the first nine months ended 2025, the effective tax rate of 19.4% was higher than 18.6% due to a net result of unfavorable discrete items of $14 million. These discrete items are primarily related to the impact of changes in estimates for previous years, and changes in the litigation accrual and related insurance reimbursements relating to the Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits.
The effective tax rate of 19.4% for the first nine months of 2025 was higher compared to the rate for the first nine months ended 2024 of 18.6% due to a different mix of the benefit (provision) for income taxes in our operating locations and lower foreign tax incentives in the current period as a result of a decrease in qualifying income.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented as of 2026. We have assessed that there is effectively no material tax impact on our consolidated financial statements. We also note that there is still unclarity about what the G7 statement in relation to the US on global minimum taxes, as announced on June 28, 2025, could mean for the Company.
Results Relating to Equity-accounted Investees
Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024
Results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025, whereas the three months ended September 29, 2024 results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $6 million.
YTD 2025 compared to YTD 2024
Results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $33 million (which includes an impairment charge of $27 million related to our investment in SigmaSense) for the nine months ended September 28, 2025, whereas the nine months ended September 29, 2024 results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $10 million.
Non-controlling Interests
Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024
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 $15 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025, compared to a profit of $11 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024.
YTD 2025 compared to YTD 2024
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 $34 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025, compared to a profit of $22 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2024.
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 third quarter of 2025, our cash balance was $3,454 million, an increase of $162 million compared to December 31, 2024. Taking into account the available amount of the unsecured revolving credit facility of $2,500 million ("RCF"), we had access to $5,954 million of liquidity as of September 28, 2025. 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 of $500 million, RCF of $2.5 billion, plus anticipated cash generated from operations) will be adequate to finance our operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential dividends for at least the next twelve months.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| ($ in millions, unless otherwise stated) | YTD 2025 | | YTD 2024 |
| Cash from operations | 1,929 | | | 2,391 | |
| Capital expenditures | 299 | | | 597 | |
| Cash to shareholders | 1,332 | | | 1,698 | |
Cash and short-term deposits
At September 28, 2025, our cash and short-term deposits balance was $3,954 million of which $324 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 $299 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to $597 million in the first nine months of 2024.
Capital return
Under our Quarterly Dividend Program, interim dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on January 8, 2025 ($258 million), dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on April 9, 2025 ($257 million), dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on July 9, 2025 ($256 million) and dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on October 8, 2025 ($255 million).
In the first nine months of 2025 we repurchased approximately $561 million of shares.
Debt
Our total debt, inclusive of aggregate principal, unamortized discounts, premiums, debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments, amounted to $12,235 million as of September 28, 2025, an increase of $1,381 million compared to December 31, 2024 ($10,854 million).
On May 1, 2025, we repaid the $500 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2.7% senior unsecured notes due 2025 at maturity using available cash.
On August 19, 2025, NXP issued $500 million of 4.30% senior unsecured notes due 2028, $300 million of 4.85% senior unsecured notes due 2032 and $700 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2035 (collectively, the "Notes"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to redeem the $500 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding dollar-denominated 5.35% senior unsecured notes due 2026 and the $750 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding dollar-denominated 3.875% senior unsecured notes due 2026, in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture governing such notes, including all premiums, accrued interest and costs and expenses related to such redemptions. Pending such application, such proceeds and the excess net proceeds from the Notes will be temporarily held as cash and other short-term securities or used for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures or short-term debt repayment.
As of September 28, 2025, we had outstanding fixed-rate notes with varying maturities for an aggregate principal amount of $11,250 million (collectively the “Notes”), of which $1.25 billion is payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the Notes total $2,997 million, with $424 million payable within 12 months.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company had outstanding loans with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for an aggregated principal amount of $1,040 million. Future interest payments associated with the EIB loans total $252 million, with $47 million payable within 12 months.
As of September 28, 2025, we had $15 million commercial paper notes outstanding with a duration less than 12 months.
Our net debt position (see section Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures) at September 28, 2025 amounted to $8,281 million, compared to $7,562 million as of December 31, 2024.
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, 2024 in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. At September 28, 2025, 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, 2024.
Cash flows
Our cash and cash equivalents during the first nine months of 2025 increased by $156 million (excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash position of $6 million) as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| ($ in millions, unless otherwise stated) | YTD 2025 | | YTD 2024 |
| Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities | 1,929 | | | 2,391 | |

| Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities | 118 | | | (2,621) | |
| Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | 156 | | | (1,114) | |
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the first nine months of 2025 our operating activities provided $1,929 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $1,600 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $960 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(655) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) include non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $617 million, share-based compensation of $362 million and changes in deferred taxes (benefit) of $(32) million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $81 million increase in receivables and other current assets due to the related timing of cash collection, $180 million increase in inventories in order to align inventory on hand with expected demand, and $296 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities as a result of lower purchase volumes and timing related to payments.
For the first nine months of 2024 our operating activities provided $2,391 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $2,037 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $910 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(574) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) includes non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $666 million, share-based compensation of $344 million and changes in deferred taxes of ($127) million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $204 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities as a result of lower purchase volumes and timing related to payments, $182 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, and $100 million increase in inventories in order to align inventory on hand with expected demand, partially offset by a $88 million increase in other non-current assets from the application of prepayments used to secure long-term production supply.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $1,891 million for the first nine months of 2025 and principally consisted of the purchase of interests in business (net of cash acquired) of $690 million (mainly driven by the acquisition of TTTech Auto for $679 million), investments in short-term deposits of $500 million, capital expenditures of $299 million, $319 million for the purchase of investments (driven primarily by the capital contributions of $209 million into VSMC and approximately $47 million into ESMC) and $85 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets, including EDA (electronic design automation).
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $884 million for the first nine months of 2024 and principally consisted of the cash outflows for capital expenditures of $597 million, $193 million for the purchase of investments (driven primarily by the capital contributions of approximately $31 million into ESMC and approximately $140 million into VSMC), and $113 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets, including EDA (electronic design automation).
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash provided from financing activities of $118 million for the first nine months of 2025 was primarily driven by the proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes of $2,426 million, proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of $1,868 million, and the proceeds from the issuance of common stock through stock plans of $77 million, partially offset by the repayment of commercial paper notes of $2,411 million, dividend payments to common stockholders of $771 million, purchase of treasury shares and restricted stock unit holdings of $561 million, and repurchase of long-term debt of 500 million.
Net cash used for financing activities of $2,621 million for the first nine 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 $780 million, and purchase of treasury shares and restricted stock unit holdings of $918 million; partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of common stock through stock plans of $79 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 nine months ended September 28, 2025: $532 million). The Obligor Group has amounts due from equity financing (September 28, 2025: $5,534 million; December 31, 2024: $5,749 million) and due to debt financing (September 28, 2025: $2,060 million; December 31, 2024: $2,283 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 associated with a restructuring plan and are 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 PPA effects, 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. |

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Certifying Officers), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) on September 28, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 28, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended September 28, 2025, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are currently in the process of integrating the TTTech Auto operations within our control environment and have excluded TTTech Auto from our evaluation.
