Rewritten

[removed: If this occurs, it] [added: These events] may limit the amounts of net sales that we can achieve or require us to make significant investments to be able to manufacture these products in our own facilities or at other foundries and assembly and testing [removed: contractors.][added: contractors, but we believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient capacity from our manufacturing subcontractors.]

Rewritten

During fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2026,] approximately 75% of our net sales were made to foreign customers, including 18% in [removed: China, 12% in Taiwan] [added: China] and [removed: 10%] [added: 15%] in [removed: Germany.][added: Taiwan.]

Rewritten

[removed: In] [added: Throughout] fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2024, fiscal 2025] and [removed: in] fiscal [removed: 2025, economic weakness] [added: 2026, changes] in the Chinese market adversely impacted our sales volumes in China.

Rewritten

As discussed above, the trade relationship between the U.S. and China remains challenging and could [removed: worsen in 2025,] [added: worsen,] economic conditions in China remain uncertain, and we are unable to predict whether such uncertainty will continue or worsen in future periods.

Rewritten

[removed: The] [added: Any] increase in tariffs on semiconductors and raw materials that have the U.S. as their country of origin could lower demand for our products in China and other countries.

Rewritten

Further, increasing investment in the semiconductor industry by the Chinese government and various state-owned [removed: of] [added: or] affiliated entities are intended to advance China's stated national policy objectives.

Rewritten

Weakening of foreign markets, especially in China, has resulted in lower demand for our products, which has adversely impacted our revenue in [removed: recent quarters] [added: the past] and, if such conditions continue, it [added: too] could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial conditions.

Rewritten

Please see the risks related to access to raw materials, components, or equipment on page [removed: [16](#if72c5229435649018159aad160cc6739_138593).][added: [16](#i6e4212d8c8f1432cbdd859709214fb20_153382).]

Rewritten

If any of these risks occur or are worse than we anticipate, our sales could decrease and our operating results could suffer, we could face an increase in the cost of components, production delays, business interruptions, delays in obtaining export licenses, or denials of such licenses, tariffs and trade restrictions, longer payment cycles, increased taxes, restrictions on the repatriation of funds and the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws, any of which could ultimately have a [added: material adverse effect on our business.]

Rewritten

[removed: material adverse effect on] our business.

Rewritten

[removed: Further changes in trade policy, tariffs, additional taxes, or restrictions on supplies,] equipment, and raw materials including rare earth minerals, may limit our ability to produce products, increase our selling and/or manufacturing costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or inhibit our ability to sell products or purchase necessary equipment and supplies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial conditions.

Rewritten

We depend on orders that are received and shipped in the same quarter and have limited visibility to product shipments other than orders placed under [removed: our] [added: certain] LTSAs.

Rewritten

For example, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, in fiscal 2024 and in fiscal 2025, we accommodated requests by [added: end] customers to push-out certain [added: distributor] orders to help them manage inventory levels and, in some cases, to help other [added: end] customers that are experiencing supply shortages.

Rewritten

[removed: Additionally,] [added: This program and increases in customer order levels outside of] this program [removed: has] resulted in some customers holding excess inventory of our products and thus decreased their need to place new orders, including turns [removed: orders, in recent periods.]

Rewritten

[removed: We] [added: Because we] built inventories in response to customer demand, [removed: and] the cancellation or deferral of product orders [removed: has] resulted in excess inventory, which [removed: has] [added: then] resulted in write-downs of inventory and an adverse effect on our gross margins in [removed: recent periods.][added: fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026.]

Rewritten

In addition, some governments, such as China, may provide, or have provided and may continue to provide, significant assistance financial or otherwise, to some of our competitors, or to new entrants, and may intervene in support of national industries and/or competitors, including [removed: to try] [added: trying] to disrupt the U.S. semiconductor industry.

Rewritten

The semiconductor industry has experienced significant consolidation [removed: in recent years] which has resulted in several of our competitors becoming much larger in terms of revenue, product offerings and scale.

New in FY2026

Our operating results may be adversely impacted by the inability of our key suppliers to provide us with necessary raw materials, components, or equipment.

New in FY2026

From time to time, we have experienced supply shortages, extended lead times, supplier announcements that certain orders could not be fulfilled, or the discontinuation of updates or parts for certain equipment.

New in FY2026

For example, in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, we experienced cost increases from certain suppliers for materials used in our production processes; although conditions stabilized in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, similar cost pressures may recur.

New in FY2026

Any interruption in the supply of raw materials, components, or equipment - or reduced supplier support for key manufacturing tools - could adversely affect our ability to produce products in the required volumes or on expected timelines.

New in FY2026

Supply availability may be further limited as global semiconductor demand increases, suppliers shift production toward higher cost or more complex products, or as a result of supply chain disruptions, transit delays, or political instability.

New in FY2026

For example, as memory manufacturers transition to more advanced products, availability of the memory components we use may become constrained, have longer lead times, or become more expensive.

New in FY2026

Consolidation among suppliers may reduce supply alternatives or alter our commercial relationships.

New in FY2026

Any of these factors could increase our manufacturing costs, impair our sourcing flexibility, delay our production schedules, and adversely affect our operating results.

New in FY2026

Additionally, our sales may be adversely impacted if tariffs or government trade actions restrict access to needed supplies.

New in FY2026

Tariffs, trade restrictions, and evolving global trade policies pose risks to our supply chain, cost structure, and customer demand.

New in FY2026

Beginning in 2018 and continuing through 2026, the U.S. imposed additional tariffs on various imports, and several countries have imposed retaliatory tariffs on goods originating from the U.S. Although semiconductors currently remain exempt from certain U.S. tariffs under the ongoing Section 232 investigation, many inputs used in semiconductor manufacturing - including chemicals, metals, and equipment - remain subject to country specific tariffs or may become subject to new duties.

New in FY2026

The tariff landscape remains uncertain and may change with limited notice.

New in FY2026

New or increased tariffs imposed on raw materials, components, equipment, or other inputs used in our production processes could increase our manufacturing costs.

New in FY2026

We may also incur incremental costs associated with supply chain adjustments undertaken to mitigate the effects of trade restrictions or tariffs.

New in FY2026

While we attempt to reduce cost burdens and secure alternative supply arrangements, we may experience higher operating costs, reduced sourcing flexibility, or lower demand for our products if customers face higher input costs or trade related disruptions.

New in FY2026

[Table of](#i91a1f3ad2e2140319cc9517b3446b41d_313) [Contents](#i91a1f3ad2e2140319cc9517b3446b41d_313)

New in FY2026

Tariffs and trade restrictions also affect our customers.

New in FY2026

If customers face reduced availability of labor, materials, or components, whether due to trade restrictions, supplier disruptions, escalating shipping constraints, or public health issues, they may reduce or suspend production of their own products, leading to decreased demand for our products.

New in FY2026

For example, in 2025, government actions involving Nexperia (including export control measures and interventions affecting its operations and cross-border shipments) resulted in restricted availability of certain mature-node semiconductors (such as discrete devices and standard logic) that are widely used by automotive and consumer electronics manufacturers.

New in FY2026

As a result, some of our customers may experience shortages of these components which may reduce their production volumes and, in turn, reduce demand for our products.

New in FY2026

Any such customer side disruptions may negatively affect our revenue and operating results.

New in FY2026

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs collected pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were unconstitutional.

New in FY2026

On April 20, 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) began processing refunds through its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) portal.

New in FY2026

Although Microchip was the importer of record for products that were subject to tariffs imposed under IEEPA and should be entitled to a refund, the timing and the amount of any such recovery is not yet clear.

New in FY2026

As such, this could have a favorable impact on our financial position, operations, or cash flows, but we cannot predict the timing, likelihood, or amount of any refunds or other recoveries we may realize.

New in FY2026

We may lose sales if critical materials from concentrated sources become restricted or subject to export controls.

New in FY2026

Geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, economic conditions, transit disruptions, public health concerns, or regulatory actions may affect the availability or cost of these materials.

New in FY2026

Current U.S. restrictions on imports of certain metals of Russian origin highlight the risk that geopolitical events or sanctions may limit access to critical materials.

New in FY2026

If we or our suppliers cannot obtain necessary inputs at commercially reasonable prices or in adequate quantities, our ability to manufacture products - or customer demand for such products - may be adversely affected.

New in FY2026

China is a predominant producer of many rare earth materials essential to the global electronics industry.

New in FY2026

Although some restrictions were subsequently suspended for certain U.S. end‑users, future restrictions or renewed implementation could constrain global supply.

New in FY2026

If China further restricts exports or pressures other countries to do so, our suppliers may face shortages, longer lead times, or increased costs.

We may lose sales if suppliers of raw materials, components or equipment fail to meet our or our customers' needs, increase prices, are impacted by increases in tariffs, or such raw materials, components or equipment become restricted or unavailable.

Dropped from FY2025

We have experienced supply shortages from time to time in the past, and on occasion our suppliers have told us they need more time to fill our orders, that they cannot fill certain orders, that they will no longer support certain equipment with updates or parts, or that they are increasing prices.

Dropped from FY2025

In particular, in fiscal 2023 and in fiscal 2022, we experienced increased prices at certain suppliers for certain materials required for production purposes.

Dropped from FY2025

However, in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, the pricing environment stabilized compared to the two prior fiscal years.

Dropped from FY2025

An interruption of any materials or equipment sources, or the lack of supplier support for a particular piece of equipment, could harm our business.

Dropped from FY2025

The supplies necessary for our business could become more difficult to obtain as worldwide use of semiconductors increases, or due to supply chain disruptions, transit disruptions, trade restrictions or political instability.

Dropped from FY2025

Additionally, consolidation in our supply chain due to mergers and acquisitions may reduce the number of suppliers or change our relationships with them.

Dropped from FY2025

The U.S. has imposed additional tariffs on imports, and certain countries have imposed retaliatory tariffs on imports that have the U.S. as their country of origin.

Dropped from FY2025

For example, in March and April 2025, the U.S imposed tariffs on imports from China and other countries and foreign governments imposed tariffs on imports from the U.S. It is unclear what tariffs will apply to semiconductors during this time of change.

Dropped from FY2025

Additional tariffs imposed on components, raw materials, or equipment may increase our costs and have an adverse impact on our operating results in future periods.

Dropped from FY2025

We may also incur increases in manufacturing costs in mitigating the impact of tariffs on our operations.

Dropped from FY2025

We will attempt to mitigate the impact of those tariffs on our business but may experience an increase in operating costs, impaired sourcing flexibility, and reduced demand for our products, resulting in reduced revenue.

Dropped from FY2025

Our customers may also be adversely affected by the tariffs and other issues described above.

Dropped from FY2025

The labor, supplies and equipment necessary for their businesses could become more difficult to obtain for various reasons not limited to business interruptions of suppliers, reduced availability of labor, transit disruptions, consolidation in their supply chain, or sanctions, trade restrictions or tariffs or the impact of public health concerns that impair sourcing flexibility or increase costs.

Dropped from FY2025

If our customers are not able to produce their products, then their need for our products will decrease.

Dropped from FY2025

Such interruptions of our customers’ businesses could harm our business.

Dropped from FY2025

We do not, nor have we historically, purchased significant amounts of equipment from Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine.

Dropped from FY2025

If we, or our direct or indirect customers, are unable to obtain the requisite raw materials or components needed to manufacture products, our ability to manufacture products, or demand for our products, may be adversely impacted.

Dropped from FY2025

While there has been an adverse impact on the world’s palladium, neon, cesium, and rubidium supply chains, at this time, our supply chains have been able to meet our needs.

Dropped from FY2025

While sales of our products into Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and to customers that sell into these countries, have been negatively impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, at this time, we have not experienced a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial conditions.

Dropped from FY2025

Further, because we do not support the actions of Russia against Ukraine, in March 2022 we stopped selling products to customers

Dropped from FY2025

and distributors located in Russia and Belarus.

Dropped from FY2025

Trade disputes, geopolitical tensions, economic circumstances, transit disruptions, political conditions, or public health issues, may limit our ability to obtain materials or equipment.

Dropped from FY2025

Although rare earth and other materials are generally available from multiple suppliers, China is the predominant producer of certain of these materials.

Dropped from FY2025

If China were to further restrict or stop exporting these materials or pressure other countries to do so, our suppliers' ability to obtain such supply may be constrained and we may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities, or obtain supply in a timely manner, or at a commercially reasonable cost.

Dropped from FY2025

Constrained supply of rare earth elements, minerals, and metals may restrict our ability to manufacture certain of our products and make it difficult or impossible to compete with other semiconductor memory manufacturers who are able to obtain sufficient quantities of these materials from China or other countries.

Dropped from FY2025

Due to the amount of inventory of our products that we are holding, we have recently taken actions to decrease our capacity allocation from our wafer fabrication, assembly and test subcontractors.

Dropped from FY2025

In August 2022, the U.S. government passed the CHIPS Act to provide billions of dollars of cash incentives and a new investment tax credit to increase domestic manufacturing capacity in our industry.

Dropped from FY2025

We expect to receive the cash benefit associated with the investment tax credit for qualifying capital expenditures in future periods and applied for other incentives provided by the legislation; however, we have not concluded negotiations with the U.S. Department of Commerce and there can be no assurance that we will pursue or receive any such other incentives, what the amount and timing of any incentive we receive will be, as to which other companies will receive incentives and whether the legislation will have a positive or negative impact on our competitive position.

Dropped from FY2025

If we conclude our CHIPS Act negotiations and receive a CHIPS Act grant, the restrictions and operational requirements that are imposed on CHIPS Act grant recipients could add complexity to our operations and increase our costs.

Dropped from FY2025

Although our sales in the Chinese market were very strong in calendar 2021, competition in China is intense, and China's economic growth slowed in calendar 2022 and through the first half of calendar 2023.

Dropped from FY2025

We have a test facility in Calamba, Philippines.

Dropped from FY2025

We believe our customers increased their order levels in previous periods of tight supply to help ensure they had sufficient inventory of our products to meet their needs, and then they were unable to sell their products at their forecasted levels which reduced our level of turns orders.

Dropped from FY2025

However, in the event that we decide to not accommodate a request to push out orders and customers under this program still attempt to cancel or reschedule orders, or refuse shipment, we may be unable to recover damages from customers that default under this program.

Dropped from FY2025

In fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, we experienced cost increases which we were able to pass on to our customers.

Dropped from FY2025

Additionally, as we are moving production between factories, we may experience lower than anticipated yields during this transition.

New in FY2026

During fiscal 2025, our overall business was weak as we navigated through a large inventory correction due to our customers holding excess levels of inventory.

New in FY2026

In March 2025, we implemented a business recovery plan which included restructuring actions to reduce our costs, resize our manufacturing operations and reduce our headcount.

New in FY2026

In fiscal 2026, we saw an improvement in our business due to increased demand after our customers reduced excess inventory levels.

New in FY2026

Net sales in all our product lines and all our geographies increased in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025.

New in FY2026

Consistent with our recovery plan, we reduced inventory in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025 and we are now in a significant revenue growth mode and we expect our inventory to continue to decline as we appropriately manage our manufacturing and foundry resources.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." For an overview of our business and recent trends, refer to our "Business and Macroeconomic Environment" discussed below.

Dropped from FY2025

During fiscal 2024, many of our customers felt the adverse effects of slowing economic activity, increasing business uncertainty, persistent inflation and higher interest rates and we received requests to push out or cancel backlog resulting from customer actions to reduce inventory levels.

Dropped from FY2025

Although we began to see evidence of improvements in our business in the March 2024 quarter which have continued in fiscal 2025, such as a decrease in customer requests to push out or cancel backlog while the number of expedites and shipment pull in requests grew, the overall macroeconomic environment remained weak throughout fiscal 2025 as we navigated through a large inventory correction.

Dropped from FY2025

With our inventory levels being high and having ample capacity in place, on December 2, 2024, we announced our decision to close our Tempe, Arizona wafer fabrication facility that we refer to as Fab 2.

Dropped from FY2025

Many of the process technologies that run in Fab 2 also run in our Oregon and Colorado factories, which both have ample clean room space for expansion.

Dropped from FY2025

The closure of Fab 2 was completed in May 2025 and we expect that it will generate annual cash savings of approximately $90 million.

Dropped from FY2025

Due to the high levels of inventory of the products which are manufactured in Fab 2, we do not expect to see income statement savings from the closure until the start of the June 2026 quarter based on a first-in first-out basis.

Dropped from FY2025

We expect that the Fab 2 closure will begin to help us moderate our inventory levels.

Dropped from FY2025

On March 3, 2025, we announced additional restructuring actions to reduce costs, resize manufacturing operations and to reduce headcount at our Fab 4 and Fab 5 facilities and our backend manufacturing facility in the Philippines which will result in approximately $25 million in annual savings from the temporarily reduced compensation costs.

Dropped from FY2025

These actions resulted in a reduction of inventory in the March 2025 quarter.

Dropped from FY2025

We also announced a 10% headcount reduction across our company to decrease our operating expenses, which reduction will be fully implemented by the June 2025 quarter.

Dropped from FY2025

We expect this action to reduce our ongoing operating expenses by approximately $90 million to $100 million on an annualized basis.

Long established global trade relationships are potentially changing in fundamental ways that make it difficult to predict how global supply chains and economic environments will be affected.

Dropped from FY2025

For example, in March and April 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs on imports from China and other countries and foreign governments imposed additional tariffs on imports from the U.S. It is unclear what tariffs will apply to semiconductors during this time of change.

Dropped from FY2025

While we continue to evaluate the potential impacts of these proposed tariffs and our ability to mitigate their related impacts, these tariffs and any retaliatory tariffs imposed may adversely impact our revenue and cost of goods sold in the U.S. and internationally.

Dropped from FY2025

The imposition of tariffs could impact our supply chain for rare earth and other materials and cause a decrease in the sales of products to customers located in China, other customers selling to Chinese end users, or other global customers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dropped from FY2025

The ultimate impact of any tariffs will depend on various factors, including whether semiconductors continue to be exempt from tariffs and any changes to the amount, scope and nature of the tariffs imposed by the U.S. or other countries.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Microchip Technology Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] and [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

Rewritten

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] and [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Rewritten

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated May [removed: 22, 2025] [added: 21, 2026] expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Rewritten

| *Description of the Matter* | | | | | | As more fully described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and [removed: some] [added: certain] of its income tax returns are being examined by local tax authorities that have [removed: challenged select] [added: disputed] tax positions taken on their local returns. Because the matters [removed: challenged] [added: disputed] by authorities can be complex and subject to interpretation, their ultimate outcome [removed: can be] [added: is] uncertain. [removed: For select tax positions the] [added: The] Company uses significant judgment in (1) determining [removed: whether,] [added: whether a tax position,] based on its technical merits, [removed: it] is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination and (2) measuring the amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition. Auditing the recognition and measurement of unrecognized tax benefits for [removed: the select] [added: certain] positions that are currently being [removed: challenged] [added: disputed] by local tax authorities was challenging and required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased extent of effort, including the involvement of our tax professionals, because interpreting and applying tax laws can be complex. | | |

Rewritten

| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s accounting process for [removed: the select tax positions that are currently being challenged by local] [added: unrecognized] tax [removed: authorities.] [added: benefits.] This included testing controls over management’s review of the technical merits of [removed: these select] [added: the] tax positions, including the process to evaluate whether there is new information relevant to [removed: the select] tax positions that are being [removed: challenged] [added: disputed] by local tax authorities. Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the judgments the Company made to [removed: develop] [added: evaluate information relevant to] the [removed: select] [added: certain] tax positions and related unrecognized tax benefit.
