NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 3, 2024 (UNAUDITED)

(all tabular amounts in thousands except per share amounts and percentages)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to fairly state the results for these interim periods and should be read in conjunction with Analog Devices, Inc.’s (the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 28, 2023 (fiscal 2023) and related notes. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 2, 2024 (fiscal 2024) or any future period.

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal 2024 is a 53-week fiscal year and fiscal 2023 was a 52-week fiscal year. The additional week in fiscal 2024 was included in the first quarter ended February 3, 2024. Therefore, the first nine months of fiscal 2024 included an additional week of operations as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

Note 2 – Shareholders' Equity

As of August 3, 2024, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 207.4 million shares of its common stock for approximately $14.9 billion under the Company's share repurchase program. As of August 3, 2024, an additional $1.7 billion remains available for repurchase of shares under the current authorized program. The Company also repurchases shares in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units/awards or the exercise of stock options as well as for the Company's employee stock purchase plan. Future repurchases of common stock will be dependent upon the Company's financial position, results of operations, outlook, liquidity and other factors deemed relevant by the Company.

Note 3 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

The following table provides the changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (AOCI) by component and the related tax effects during the first nine months of fiscal 2024.

Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

On March 17, 2022, Walter E. Ryan and Ryan Asset Management, LLC, purported stockholders of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (Maxim), filed a putative class action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (C.A. No. 2022—0255) against the Company and the former directors of Maxim. The complaint alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the individual defendants in connection with Maxim’s agreement, as part of the merger negotiations with the Company, to suspend Maxim dividends for up to four quarters prior to the closing of the Company's acquisition of Maxim. The complaint further alleged that the Company aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs sought damages in an amount to be determined at trial, plaintiffs’ costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs and other expenses. On May 2, 2023, the Court of Chancery entered an order dismissing the action in its entirety and with prejudice. On May 9, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reargument, which the Court of Chancery denied on May 30, 2023. On June 21, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court. On February 26, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court issued an order affirming the dismissal of the action.

Note 7 – Revenue

Revenue Trends by End Market

The following tables summarize revenue by end market. The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a variety of data points including the technical characteristics of the product, the “sold to” customer information, the “ship to” customer information and the end customer product or application into which the Company’s product will be incorporated. As data systems for capturing and tracking this data and the Company's methodology evolves and improves, the categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When this occurs, the Company reclassifies revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.

Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The table below presents the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. 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 table below ($547.4 million and $547.2 million as of August 3, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively). The fair values of the senior unsecured notes are obtained from broker prices and are classified as Level 1 measurements according to the fair value hierarchy.

The 2034 Notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.

On April 3, 2024, in an underwritten public offering, the Company issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.300% senior notes due April 1, 2054 (the 2054 Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2024. The net proceeds of the offering were $542.3 million, after discounts and issuance costs. Prior to October 1, 2053 (six months prior to the maturity date of the 2054 Notes), the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2054 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the 2054 Notes matured on October 1, 2053) on a semi-annual basis at the applicable treasury rate plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the 2054 Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. On or after October 1, 2053, the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2054 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2054 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

The 2034 Notes and the 2054 Notes were issued pursuant to a base indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture, which contains certain covenants, events of default and other customary provisions. The covenants applicable to the 2034 Notes and the 2054 Notes limit the Company’s ability to incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt secured by a lien upon a principal property; enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to a principal property; and consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any other party. As of August 3, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Note 12 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023 were below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21.0%, due to lower statutory tax rates applicable to the Company's operations in the foreign jurisdictions in which it earns income. The Company's effective tax rate also includes the effects of the mandatory capitalization and amortization of research and development expenses which began in fiscal 2023 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The mandatory capitalization requirement decreases the Company's effective tax rate primarily by increasing the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.

It is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrealized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, could decrease by as much as approximately $142.0 million within the next twelve months due to the completion of tax audits, including any administrative appeals.

The Company has numerous audits ongoing throughout the world including: an IRS income tax audit for the fiscal years ended October 30, 2021, November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018; a pre-acquisition IRS income tax audit for Maxim's fiscal years ended June 27, 2015 through August 26, 2021; and various U.S. state and local audits and international audits, including an Irish corporate tax audit for the fiscal year ended November 2, 2019. The Company's U.S. federal income tax returns prior to the fiscal year ended November 3, 2018 are no longer subject to examination, except for the applicable Maxim pre-acquisition fiscal years noted above.

Note 13 – New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Implemented

Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities. Under this guidance (ASC 805-20-30-28), the acquirer should determine what contract assets and/or contract liabilities it would have recorded under ASC 606 (the revenue guidance) as of the acquisition date, as if the acquirer had entered into the original contract at the same date and on the same terms as the acquiree. The recognition and measurement of those contract assets and contract liabilities will likely be comparable to what the acquiree has recorded on its books under ASC 606 as of the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Upon adoption, ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Standards to be Implemented

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosure requirements for reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 requires segment disclosure to include significant segment expense categories and amounts, and qualitative detail of other segment items. Disclosure of multiple measures of segment profit and loss may also be reported. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires the disaggregation of information in existing income tax disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations.
