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, 2025.
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, 2025.
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 included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in our notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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, 2025. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recent accounting standards
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
2026
On February 2, 2026, we completed the sale of our MEMS Sensors business, previously classified as held for sale, pursuant to the definitive agreement with STMicroelectronics International N.V. dated July 24, 2025. At closing, we received $878 million in cash, with the potential to receive an additional $50 million contingent upon the achievement of specified post‑closing technical milestones ("earn-out receivable"). The earn-out receivable was measured at fair value at closing and included in the consideration transferred, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This resulted in a gain on sale of $627 million recorded in "Other income (expense)" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
There were no material acquisitions during the first three months of 2026.
2025
TTTech Auto acquisition
On June 17, 2025, NXP announced the closing of the acquisition of 100% of TTTech Auto for $766 million in cash ($675 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.
The revised fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the TTTech Auto acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:
| | | | | |
Cash | 91 | |
Other assets | 75 | |
Other liabilities | (52) | |
| Identified intangible assets | 347 | |
| Goodwill | 305 | |
| Net assets acquired | 766 | |
Our valuation procedures related to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was completed during the first quarter of 2026.
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 | | 50 | | | 8.5 |
| Order backlog | | 5 | | | 3.5 |
| Total identified intangible assets | | 347 | | | 10.9 |
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.
Aviva Links acquisition
On October 24, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Aviva Links for $222 million in cash ($202 million net of cash acquired) and $26 million through the settlement of previously held investments in Aviva Links. 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.
The fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the Aviva Links acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:
| | | | | |
| Other assets | 20 | |
| Other liabilities | (64) | |
| In-Process R&D ("IPR&D") | 197 | |
| Goodwill | 95 | |
| Net assets acquired | 248 | |
The purchase price allocation contains valuations related to certain assets and liabilities as some of the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as additional information becomes available.
Goodwill arising from the Aviva Links acquisition is attributed to the value related to new technological innovations from future 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.
Acquired IPR&D is an intangible asset classified as an indefinite lived asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development effort. IPR&D will be amortized over an estimated useful life to be determined at the date the associated research and development effort is completed, or expensed immediately when, and if, the project is abandoned. Acquired IPR&D is not amortized during the period that it is considered indefinite lived, but rather is subject to annual testing for impairment or when there are indicators for impairment.
The excess earnings method, a variant of the income approach, was applied to estimate the fair value of the IPR&D acquired. The fair value represents the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the IPR&D, adjusted for contributory asset charges related to other acquired assets.
Kinara, Inc. acquisition
On October 27, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Kinara, Inc. for $284 million in cash ($283 million net of cash acquired). 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.
The revised fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the Kinara acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:
| | | | | |
| Other assets | 8 | |
| Other liabilities | (59) | |
| Identified intangible assets | 254 | |
| Goodwill | 81 | |
| Net assets acquired | 284 | |
The purchase price allocation contains valuations related to certain assets and liabilities as some of the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as additional information becomes available.
Goodwill arising from the Kinara acquisition is attributed to the value related to new technological innovations from future 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) |
| Existing Technology | | 191 | | | 9.2 |
IPR&D1 | | 56 | | | N/A |
| Customer relationships | | 7 | | | 8.2 |
| Total identified intangible assets | | 254 | | | 9.2 |
1 IPR&D is an intangible asset classified as an indefinite lived asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development effort. IPR&D will be amortized over an estimated useful life to be determined at the date the associated research and development effort is completed, or expensed immediately when, and if, the project is abandoned. Acquired IPR&D is not amortized during the period that it is considered indefinite lived, but rather is subject to annual testing for impairment or when there are indicators for impairment.
The excess earnings method, a variant of the income approach, was applied to estimate the fair values of the technology and IPR&D. The fair values represent the present values of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the technology or IPR&D, adjusted for contributory asset charges related to other acquired assets. In addition, the existing customer relationships are valued using the distributor method, a variant of the income approach, in which a market-based distributor profit margin is used to allocate profits to this intangible asset.
Divestments
There were no material divestments during 2025.
4 Assets Held for Sale
During the fourth quarter of 2025, NXP management committed to selling the buildings and land at our Oak Hill site in Austin, Texas. The carrying amount of the site of $74 million was classified as held for sale and continues to be presented within current assets, representing the majority of the assets classified as held for sale as of March 29, 2026. The asset is available for immediate sale, is being actively marketed, and management expects the sale to be completed within the next six months.

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 2026:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of January 1, 2026 | | Additions | | Utilized | | Released | | Other changes | | As of March 29, 2026 |
| Restructuring liabilities | 270 | | | 3 | | | (62) | | | (1) | | | (1) | | | 209 | |
The total restructuring liability as of March 29, 2026, of $209 million is classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under current liabilities ($133 million) and non-current liabilities ($76 million).
The Company has ongoing restructuring initiatives aimed at streamlining manufacturing capacity, reducing costs, and aligning resources with strategic priorities. These initiatives primarily consist of workforce reductions, facility consolidations, and other cost‑saving measures. During the first quarter of 2026, the restructuring provision decreased by $61 million, primarily reflecting the execution of previously announced involuntary restructuring programs. The restructuring charges for the three-month period ending March 30, 2025 primarily consist of $14 million for personnel related costs for specific targeted actions.
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 | | |
| March 29, 2026 | | March 30, 2025 | | | | |
| Cost of revenue | (1) | | | 4 | | | | | |
| Research and development | 2 | | | 7 | | | | | |
| Selling, general and administrative | 1 | | | 3 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Net restructuring charges | 2 | | | 14 | | | | | |
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 2026 is based on our EAETR of 19.9%, 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 | | |
| March 29, 2026 | | March 30, 2025 | | | | |
| Tax benefit (provision) calculated at EAETR | (280) | | | (119) | | | | | |
| Discrete tax benefit (provision) items | 8 | | | (11) | | | | | |
| Benefit (provision) for income taxes | (272) | | | (130) | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Effective tax rate | 19.3 | % | | 20.6 | % | | | | |
The effective tax rate of 19.3% for the first quarter of 2026 was lower than the EAETR due to the income tax benefit for discrete items of $8 million. The discrete items are primarily related to the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items and changes in estimates for previous years.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 19.3% compared to 20.6% for the same period in 2025, with discrete items in the respective periods impacting the rates accordingly. Excluding discrete items, the EAETR increased to 19.9% in 2026 from 18.8% in 2025, mainly as a result of a taxable capital gain and non-deductible goodwill associated with the divestiture of the MEMS Sensors business in the first quarter of 2026.

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 | | March 29, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 |

| Liabilities: | | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| Derivative instruments-liabilities | 2 | | (13) | | | (11) | |
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
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. The up to $50 million earn-out receivable related to the divested MEMS sensor business in the first quarter of 2026 is measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.
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 29, 2026, the estimated fair value of current and non-current debt was $10.9 billion ($11.6 billion as of December 31, 2025). 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.
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 March 29, 2026, other than foundry joint venture commitments, the Company had purchase commitments of $2,881 million, which are due through 2044.
Foundry Joint Venture Commitments
Driven by our investment in VSMC, NXP has committed to invest an additional $773 million in equity through 2027. NXP has committed to contribute an additional $156 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 $398 million in equity through 2029.
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 March 29, 2026, amounts related to future lease payments for operating lease obligations totaled $683 million (December 31, 2025: $519 million), which are due through 2048. The increase is primarily attributable to the execution of new relocation lease agreements during the first quarter of 2026.
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 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 has assisted Motorola in the defense of personal injury lawsuits pursuant to indemnity obligations under the agreement that separated Freescale from Motorola in 2004. All pending cases were settled as of the end of the first quarter of 2026. As a result, there are no remaining pending lawsuits related to these matters. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate any further financial impact arising from these claims once settled. A portion of any indemnity due to Motorola will be reimbursed to NXP if Motorola receives an indemnification payment from its 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 $76 million accrued for potential and current legal proceedings as of March 29, 2026, compared to $75 million accrued at December 31, 2025 (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements). The accruals are included in “Other current liabilities” and in “Other non-current liabilities”. As of March 29, 2026, the Company’s related balance of insurance reimbursements was $67 million (December 31, 2025: $56 million) and is included in “Other 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. Given that the known pending legal proceedings with a potentially material aggregate exposure of possible losses were settled during the quarter, the Company does not reasonably anticipate any additional potential aggregate exposure of possible loss in excess of the amount accrued.

Revenue from direct customers was $1,282 million, an increase of $8 million or 0.6% versus the previous period.
From a geographic perspective, the decrease of revenue quarter-on-quarter was driven by the China region with a decline of 15.7% and by the Asia Pacific region with a decrease of 6.6%.
Our gross profit percentage for the three months ended March 29, 2026, of 56.2% increased compared to 54.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, driven mainly by impairments related to the scaling down of a non-strategic product line in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Operating income for the three months ended March 29, 2026, was $1,505 million compared to $744 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $761 million or 102.3%. The sequential increase was mainly driven by the gain on sale of the MEMS Sensors business and lower restructuring expenses.

Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets for the three months ended March 29, 2026, increased by $5 million, or 18.5%, when compared to the three months ended March 30, 2025, primarily driven by amortization related to the recent acquisitions of TTTech Auto and Kinara.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) reflects an income of $621 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to an income of $18 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was mainly driven by the gain on sale of $627 million related to the divestment of the MEMS Sensors business.
Financial income (expense)
The following table presents the details of financial income and expenses:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| ($ in millions, unless otherwise stated) | Q1 2026 | | Q1 2025 | | | | |

| Other financial income/ (expense) | (13) | | | (21) | | | | | |
| Total | (96) | | | (92) | | | | | |
Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
Financial income (expense) was an expense of $96 million for the three months ended March 29, 2026, compared to an expense of $92 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. The change in financial income (expense) is primarily attributable to in increase in interest expense of $8 million due to the issuance of new bonds and EIB Loan B, offset by lower expenses due to the redemption of notes. Other financial expenses decreased mainly due to fair value adjustments in equity securities resulting in a gain of $1 million for the three months ended March 29, 2026, versus a loss of $6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes
Our provision for income taxes for 2026 is based on our EAETR of 19.9%, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8%, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Q1 2026 | | Q1 2025 | | | | |
| Tax benefit (provision) calculated at EAETR | (280) | | | (119) | | | | | |
| Discrete tax benefit (provision) items | 8 | | | (11) | | | | | |

| | | | | | | |
| Effective tax rate | 19.3 | % | | 20.6 | % | | | | |
Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
The effective tax rate of 19.3% for the first quarter of 2026 was lower than the EAETR due to the income tax benefit for discrete items of $8 million. The discrete items are primarily related to the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items and changes in estimates for previous years.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 19.3% compared to 20.6% for the same period in 2025, with discrete items in the respective periods impacting the rates accordingly. Excluding discrete items, the EAETR increased to 19.9% in 2026 from 18.8% in 2025, mainly as a result of a taxable capital gain and non-deductible goodwill associated with the divestiture of the MEMS Sensors business in the first quarter of 2026.
Results Relating to Equity-accounted Investees
Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
Results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $4 million for both the three months ended March 29, 2026, and the three months ended March 30, 2025.
Non-controlling Interests
Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
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 $11 million for the three months ended March 29, 2026, compared to a profit of $7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025.
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 2026, our cash balance was $3,708 million, an increase of $441 million compared to December 31, 2025. Taking into account the available amount of the unsecured revolving credit facility of $3,000 million ("RCF"), we had access to $6,708 million of liquidity as of March 29, 2026. 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, RCF of $3,000 million, plus anticipated cash generated from operations) will be adequate to finance our operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential dividends for at least the next twelve months.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| ($ in millions, unless otherwise stated) | Q1 2026 | | Q1 2025 |

In the first three months of 2026, we repurchased approximately $102 million of shares.
Under our Quarterly Dividend Program, interim dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on January 7, 2026 ($256 million) and dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on April 9, 2026 ($257 million).
Debt
Our total debt, inclusive of aggregate principal, unamortized discounts, premiums, debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments, amounted to $11,724 million as of March 29, 2026, a decrease of $498 million compared to December 31, 2025 ($12,222 million).
On January 5, 2026, we repaid the $500 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.35% senior unsecured notes due March 1, 2026, at par using available cash.
On April 20, 2026, we repaid $750 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 3.875% senior unsecured notes due June 18, 2026, at par using available cash.

million (collectively the “Notes”), of which $750 million is payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the Notes total $2,777 million, with $396 million payable within 12 months.
As of March 29, 2026, the Company had outstanding loans with the European Investment Bank (EIB) with maturities in 2030 and 2031 for an aggregated principal amount of $1,040 million. Future interest payments associated with the EIB loans total $229 million, with $47 million payable within 12 months.
As of March 29, 2026, we had no commercial paper notes outstanding.
Our net debt position (see section Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures) at March 29, 2026, amounted to $8,016 million, compared to $8,955 million as of December 31, 2025.
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, 2025, in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. At March 29, 2026, 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, 2025.
Cash flows
Our cash and cash equivalents during the first three months of 2026 increased by $445 million (excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash position of $(4) million) as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| ($ in millions, unless otherwise stated) | Q1 2026 | | Q1 2025 |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | 793 | | | 565 | |

| Net cash (used for) provided by financing activities | (856) | | | 345 | |
| Increase in cash and cash equivalents | 445 | | | 694 | |
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the first three months of 2026, our operating activities provided $793 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $1,133 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $361 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $21 million. Adjustments to net income (loss) include non-cash items, such as gain on sale of assets of $(627 million), depreciation and amortization of $179 million, share-based compensation of $109 million and changes in deferred taxes (benefit) of $(28 million). Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $115 million increase in receivables and other current assets due to the related timing of cash collection, $87 million decrease in inventories driven by lower external purchases, $182 million increase in other non-current assets due to payments to secure production supply (driven primarily by payments of $189 million to support the long-term capacity infrastructure of VSMC) and $231 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities primarily due to a higher corporate tax accrual ($178 million) mainly driven by the capital gains tax on the divestiture of the MEMS Sensors business.
For the first three months of 2025 our operating activities provided $565 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $497 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $299 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(239 million). Adjustments to net income (loss) include non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $209 million, share-based compensation of $127 million and changes in deferred taxes of $(27 million). Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $110 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities as a result of lower purchase volumes and timing related to payments, $29 million increase in receivables and other current assets due to customer mix, and the related timing of cash collection and $106 million increase in other non-current assets due to payments to secure production supply with multiple vendors (driven primarily by payments of $125 million to support the long-term capacity infrastructure of VSMC).
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash proceeds from investing activities of $508 million for the first three months of 2026 was primarily driven by the proceeds of $878 million (net of adjustments) from the sale of our MEMS Sensors business, partially offset by $249 million for the purchase of investments (driven primarily by the capital contributions of $196 million into VSMC), capital expenditures of $79 million, and $42 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets.
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $216 million for the first three months of 2025 and principally consisted of the cash outflows for capital expenditures of $139 million, $53 million for the purchase of investments (driven primarily by the capital contributions of approximately $20 million into VSMC and approximately $16 million into ESMC) and $25 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets, including EDA (electronic design automation).
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities of $856 million for the first three months of 2026 was primarily driven by the repurchase of long-term debt of $501 million, dividend payments to common stockholders of $256 million, and purchase of treasury shares and restricted stock unit holdings of $102 million.
Net cash proceeds from financing activities of $345 million for the first three months of 2025 was primarily driven by the proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes of $646 million, proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of $370 million, and the proceeds from the issuance of common stock through stock plans of $37 million, partially offset by the repayment of commercial paper notes of $146 million, dividend payments to common stockholders of $258 million and purchase of treasury shares and restricted stock unit holdings of $303 million.

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 29, 2026: $168 million). The Obligor Group has amounts due from equity financing (March 29, 2026: $7,670 million; December 31, 2025: $5,520 million) and due to debt financing (March 29, 2026: $3,484 million; December 31, 2025: $2,695 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. When measuring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from cost‑reduction actions with the goal of increasing our gross margin and operating margin, as well as in 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 make 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. |
