NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Cirrus Logic, Inc. (“Cirrus Logic,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not include complete footnotes and financial presentations. As a result, these financial statements should be read along with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 29, 2025, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on May 23, 2025. In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all material adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for those periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Moreover, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, requiring more consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures and expects to provide these disclosures in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregation of certain expense categories in the notes to the financial statements in order to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes references to software development stages, or “project stages,” in assessing the timing of software cost capitalization. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted using the prospective, modified, or retrospective adoption methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted using the modified prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective adoption methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures.
3. Marketable Securities
The Company’s investments have been classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Marketable securities are categorized on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as “Marketable securities,” within the short-term or long-term classification, as appropriate, based on the original maturity.
The following table is a summary of available-for-sale securities at December 27, 2025 (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of December 27, 2025 | Amortized Cost | | Gross Unrealized Gains | | Gross Unrealized Losses | | Estimated Fair Value (Net Carrying Amount) |
| Corporate debt securities | $ | 301,177 | | | $ | 2,043 | | | $ | (50) | | | $ | 303,170 | |
| | | | | | | |
| U.S. Treasury securities | 668 | | | 6 | | | — | | | 674 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Total securities | $ | 301,845 | | | $ | 2,049 | | | $ | (50) | | | $ | 303,844 | |
The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities with original maturities generally ranging from one to three years. The Company's specifically identified gross unrealized losses were $0.1 million related to securities with total amortized costs of approximately $34.6 million at December 27, 2025. There were no securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of December 27, 2025. The Company may sell certain of its marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated or actual changes in credit rating and duration management. The Company records an allowance for credit loss when a decline in investment market value is due to credit-related factors. When evaluating an investment for impairment, the Company reviews factors including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, changes in market interest rates and whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. As of December 27, 2025, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be impaired.
The following table is a summary of available-for-sale securities at March 29, 2025 (in thousands):

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has determined that the only material assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio consist of money market funds, debt securities, and U.S Treasury securities, and are reflected on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets under the headings cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and long-term marketable securities. The Company determines the fair value of its marketable securities portfolio by obtaining non-binding market prices from third-party pricing providers on the last day of the quarter, whose sources may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value.
The Company's revolving credit facility, described in Note 8 - Revolving Credit Facility, bears interest at a base rate plus applicable margin or forward-looking secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) plus 10 basis points plus applicable margin. As of December 27, 2025, there are no amounts drawn under the facility and the fair value is zero.
As of December 27, 2025 and March 29, 2025, the Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 measurements for the three months ended December 27, 2025.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The Company recognizes both the gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and the gains and losses on the remeasurement of non-functional currency assets and liabilities within “Other income (expense)” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these foreign currency derivative instruments.
As of December 27, 2025, the Company held one foreign currency forward contract denominated in British Pound Sterling with a notional value of $18.5 million. The fair value of this contract was not material as of December 27, 2025.
The before-tax effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments was as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Finished goods | 50,345 | | | 82,919 | |
| $ | 189,483 | | | $ | 299,092 | |
8. Revolving Credit Facility
On July 8, 2021, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 8, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Revolving Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by all of Cirrus Logic’s material domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of Cirrus Logic and any Subsidiary Guarantors, except for certain excluded assets.
On March 20, 2023, the Company, entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Second Amended Credit Agreement, with the lending institutions party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment updates the benchmark interest rate provisions to replace the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) with Term SOFR, for the purposes of calculating interest under the terms of the Second Amended Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may bear interest, at Cirrus Logic’s election, at either (a) a base rate plus the applicable margin (“Base Rate Loans”) or (b) a Term SOFR rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0% to 0.75% per annum for Base Rate Loans and 1.00% to 1.75% per annum for SOFR Loans based on the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”). A Commitment Fee accrues at a rate per annum ranging from 0.175% to 0.275% (based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) on the average daily unused portion of the commitment of the lenders.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants providing that (a) the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness (minus up to $200 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available on such date) to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters must not be greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio”) and (b) the ratio of consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters to consolidated interest expense paid or payable in cash for the prior four consecutive quarters must not be less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio”). The Second Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants limiting the ability of Cirrus Logic or any Subsidiary to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make investments, effect certain fundamental changes, make certain asset dispositions, and make certain restricted payments. Further, the Second Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, reporting requirements, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
As of December 27, 2025, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.
9. Revenues
Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by product line and ship to location of the customer. Sales are designated in the respective product line categories of Audio and High-Performance Mixed-Signal (“HPMS”).
Total net sales based on the product line disaggregation criteria described above are shown in the table below (in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |
| | December 27, | | December 28, | | December 27, | | December 28, |

10. Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes is based on estimated effective tax rates derived from an estimate of annual consolidated earnings before taxes, adjusted for nondeductible expenses, other permanent items, and any applicable income tax credits.
The following table presents the provision for income taxes (in thousands) and the effective tax rates: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |
| December 27, | | December 28, | | December 27, | | December 28, |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Income before income taxes | $ | 162,449 | | | $ | 153,701 | | | $ | 396,473 | | | $ | 350,309 | |
| Provision for income taxes | $ | 22,139 | | | $ | 37,696 | | | $ | 63,870 | | | $ | 90,069 | |
| Effective tax rate | 13.6 | % | | 24.5 | % | | 16.1 | % | | 25.7 | % |
Our income tax expense was $22.1 million and $37.7 million for the third quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 13.6 percent and 24.5 percent, respectively. Our income tax expense was $63.9 million and $90.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 16.1 percent and 25.7 percent, respectively.
Effective tax rates for fiscal year 2025 were unfavorably impacted by a provision in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that required research and development (“R&D”) expenditures incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 to be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or fifteen years depending on the location in which the research activities are conducted, which resulted in increased GILTI inclusions in these periods. In addition, those periods were unfavorably impacted by U.S. tax rules related to refundable tax credits, including R&D expenditure credits available to us in the United Kingdom, that reduce the amount of foreign tax credits available to offset GILTI.
The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2026 were lower than the prior periods presented primarily due to U.S. R&D expenditures no longer being capitalized within GILTI (also known as net controlled foreign corporation tested income) beginning in fiscal year 2026 as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) enacted on July 4, 2025.
The Company records unrecognized tax benefits for the estimated risk associated with tax positions taken on tax returns. At December 27, 2025, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $32.1 million, all of which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Non-current income taxes” in
the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of December 27, 2025, the balance of accrued interest and penalties, net of tax, was $14.0 million.
On July 27, 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. et al. v. Commissioner which concluded that the regulations relating to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements were invalid. In 2016 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”). On June 7, 2019, the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision of the U.S. Tax Court and upheld the cost-sharing regulations. On February 10, 2020, Altera Corp. filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States, which was denied by the Supreme Court on June 22, 2020. Although the issue is now resolved in the Ninth Circuit, the Ninth Circuit's opinion is not binding in other circuits. The potential impact of this issue on the Company, which is not located within the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit, is unclear at this time. We will continue to monitor developments related to this issue and the potential impact of those developments on the Company's current and prior fiscal years.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2017 through 2019 and 2022 through 2025 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
The Company's fiscal year 2017, 2018, and 2019 federal income tax returns are under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS has proposed adjustments that would increase U.S. taxable income related to transfer pricing matters with respect to our U.S. and U.K. affiliated companies. The final Revenue Agent’s Report asserted additional tax of approximately $168.3 million, excluding interest, and imposed penalties of approximately $63.7 million. The Company does not agree with the IRS's positions and has not accrued an additional liability. In July 2024, the Company entered the administrative dispute process with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“IRS Appeals”). The Company continues to vigorously dispute the proposed adjustments, including through ongoing discussions as part of the administrative process with IRS Appeals. If an acceptable outcome cannot be reached with IRS Appeals, the Company is prepared to pursue judicial remedies, which could take a number of years to resolve. Although the final resolution of these matters is uncertain, the Company believes adequate amounts have been reserved in accordance with ASC 740 for any adjustments to the provision for income taxes that may ultimately result. However, the ultimate amount of assessed tax, interest, and penalties, if any, could be material and may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in future periods. The Company is not under an income tax audit in any other major taxing jurisdiction.
11. Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is based on the weighted effect of common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the basic weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic net income per share calculation, plus the equivalent number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. These potentially dilutive items consist primarily of restricted stock units and outstanding stock options.
The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |
| December 27, | | December 28, | | December 27, | | December 28, |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| Numerator: | | | | | | | |
| Net income | $ | 140,310 | | | $ | 116,005 | | | $ | 332,603 | | | $ | 260,240 | |
| Denominator: | | | | | | | |
| Weighted average shares outstanding | 51,037 | | | 53,081 | | | 51,313 | | | 53,263 | |
| Effect of dilutive securities | 1,661 | | | 1,995 | | | 1,728 | | | 2,266 | |
| Weighted average diluted shares | 52,698 | | | 55,076 | | | 53,041 | | | 55,529 | |
| Basic earnings per share | $ | 2.75 | | | $ | 2.19 | | | $ | 6.48 | | | $ | 4.89 | |
| Diluted earnings per share | $ | 2.66 | | | $ | 2.11 | | | $ | 6.27 | | | $ | 4.69 | |
The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025 were 44 thousand and 167 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive. The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024 were 228 thousand and 224 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Capacity Reservation Agreement
On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement (the “Capacity Reservation Agreement”) with GlobalFoundries to provide the Company a wafer capacity commitment and wafer pricing for Company products for calendar years 2022-2026 (the “Commitment Period”). On February 18, 2025, the Capacity Reservation Agreement was amended (the “Amendment”) to define the quarterly spread of the remaining wafer quantities under the agreement.
The Capacity Reservation Agreement requires GlobalFoundries to provide, and the Company to purchase, a defined number of wafers on a quarterly basis for the Commitment Period, subject to shortfall payments. In exchange for GlobalFoundries’ capacity commitment, the Company paid a $60 million non-refundable capacity reservation fee, which is amortized over the Commitment Period.

13. Legal Matters
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities. We regularly evaluate the status of legal proceedings in which we are involved in order to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred, and to determine if accruals are appropriate. We further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made.
Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that there are any pending matters that could potentially have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we are engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business. There can be no assurances in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in any potential legal proceedings, some of which are beyond our control, and an adverse outcome in any legal proceeding could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

15. Segment Information
We determine our operating segments in accordance with FASB guidelines. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) under these guidelines.
The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment, but reports revenue in two product lines, Audio and HPMS. Our CEO receives and uses enterprise-wide financial information to assess financial performance and allocate resources. Our product lines have similar characteristics and customers and share operations support functions such as sales, public relations, supply chain management, various research and development and engineering support, in addition to the general and administrative functions of human resources, legal, finance and information technology. Therefore, there is no complete, discrete financial information maintained for these product lines. Revenue by product line is disclosed in Note 9 - Revenues.
The CODM evaluates Company performance based on net income, and this information is used to measure profitability, make budgeting and forecasting decisions, monitor performance trends, and to compare actual results to forecasts. The CODM regularly reviews the consolidated statement of income and a disaggregation of operating expenses, with a focus on personnel-related and product development expenses. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
