Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended August 28, 2025. All period references are to our fiscal periods unless otherwise indicated. Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Thursday closest to August 31. Fiscal 2026 contains 53 weeks and fiscal 2025 contains 52 weeks. All tabular dollar amounts are in millions, except per share amounts.

Overview

Micron Technology, Inc. is an industry leader in innovative memory and storage solutions transforming how the world uses information to enrich life for all. With a relentless focus on our customers, technology leadership, and manufacturing and operational excellence, Micron delivers a rich portfolio of high-performance DRAM, NAND, and NOR memory and storage products. Every day, the innovations that our people create fuel the data economy, enabling advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and compute-intensive applications that unleash opportunities — from the data center to the intelligent edge and across the client and mobile user experience.

We manufacture our products at wholly-owned facilities and also utilize subcontractors for certain manufacturing processes. Our global network of manufacturing centers of excellence not only allows us to benefit from scale while streamlining processes and operations, but it also brings together some of the world’s brightest talent to work on the most advanced memory technology. Centers of excellence bring expertise together in one location, providing an efficient support structure for end-to-end manufacturing, with quicker cycle times, in partnership with teams, such as R&D, product development, human resources, procurement, and supply chain. For our locations in Singapore and Taiwan, this is also a combination of bringing fabrication and back-end manufacturing together. We continue to make significant investments to develop proprietary product and process technology, which generally increases bit density per wafer and reduces per-bit manufacturing costs of each generation of product. We continue to introduce new generations of products that offer improved performance characteristics, including higher data transfer rates, advanced packaging solutions, lower power consumption, improved read/write reliability, and increased memory density.

We face intense competition in the semiconductor memory and storage markets. To remain competitive, we must continuously develop and implement new products and technologies and decrease manufacturing costs in spite of inflationary pressures, changing technologies, rapid market changes, and regulatory uncertainty. Our success is largely dependent on obtaining returns on our R&D investments, efficient utilization of our manufacturing infrastructure, development and integration of advanced product and process technologies, market acceptance of our diversified portfolio of semiconductor-based memory and storage solutions, and efficient capital spending.

Product Technologies

Our product portfolio of memory and storage solutions, advanced solutions, and storage platforms is based on our high-performance semiconductor memory and storage technologies, including DRAM, NAND, and NOR. We sell our products through our business units into various markets in numerous forms, including components, modules, SSDs, managed NAND, multi-chip packages, and wafers. Many of our system-level solutions combine NAND, a controller, firmware, and in some cases DRAM.

DRAM: DRAM products are dynamic random access memory semiconductor devices with low latency that provide high-speed data retrieval with a variety of performance characteristics. DRAM products lose content when power is turned off (“volatile”) and are most commonly used in the data center, client PC, graphics, industrial, mobile, and automotive markets.

NAND: NAND products are non-volatile, re-writeable semiconductor storage devices that provide high-capacity, low-cost storage with a variety of performance characteristics. NAND is used in SSDs for the data center, client PC, consumer, and automotive markets, and in removable storage markets. Managed NAND is used in smartphones and other mobile devices, and in the consumer, automotive, and embedded markets. Low-density NAND is ideal for applications like automotive, surveillance, machine-to-machine, automation, printer, and home networking.

27 | 2026 Q2 10-Q

Table of Contents

NOR: NOR products are non-volatile, re-writable semiconductor memory devices that provide fast read speeds. NOR is most commonly used for reliable code storage (e.g., boot, application, operating system, and execute-in-place code in an embedded system) and for frequently changing small data storage and is ideal for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.

Industry Conditions

AI-driven memory and storage growth is outpacing industry supply. In the second quarter of 2026, we continued to benefit from substantial improvements in pricing and margins, reflecting strong demand growth, driven in part by the continued advancement of AI. The AI-driven growth in the data center has accelerated demand for memory and storage at a rate greater than our ability and the industry’s ability to increase supply. This has led to decisions on supply allocation that may impact certain customers and end markets as the overall market demand for memory and storage exceeds overall industry supply. Robust overall industry DRAM and NAND demand, and constrained supply, has led to improved profitability in our portfolio.

Operating Expenses and Other

Research and Development: R&D expenses vary primarily with the number of development and pre-qualification wafers processed and end-product solutions developed, personnel costs, and the cost of advanced equipment dedicated to new product and process development. Because of the lead times necessary to manufacture our products, we typically begin to process wafers before completion of performance and reliability testing. Development of a product is deemed complete when it is qualified through internal reviews and tests for performance, functionality, and reliability. R&D expenses can vary significantly depending on the timing of product qualification and product specifications.

R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2026 increased 7% as compared to the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to an increase in employee compensation. R&D expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 increased 39% and 36%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to higher volumes of development and pre-qualification wafers, as we ramp R&D investments in support of long-term opportunities in memory and storage, and increases in employee compensation.

Selling, General, and Administrative: SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were relatively unchanged as compared to the first quarter of 2026. SG&A expenses for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 increased 21% and 19%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to increases in employee compensation.

Interest Income (Expense), Net: Interest income (expense) improved in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2026 and for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense due to lower debt balances and an increase in interest income due to higher cash and investments balances.

20262026202520262025
Income before taxes$16,160$6,061$1,758$22,221$3,910
Income tax (provision) benefit(2,371)(829)(177)(3,200)(460)
Effective tax rate14.7%13.7%10.1%14.4%11.8%

The change in our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to changes in profitability, which reduced the relative impact of discrete tax benefits. The change in our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2026, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2025, was primarily due to the 15% minimum tax Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”). Singapore enacted legislation to implement Pillar Two, effective for us in 2026, which largely offsets the benefit from our Singapore tax incentive arrangements.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing broad changes to the U.S. tax code, including modifications to corporate and international tax provisions, which primarily are effective for us beginning in 2026 and 2027. The aggregate impact of the OBBBA remains uncertain. We will continue to monitor future developments, including regulatory guidance and interpretations, which could have a material impact on our income tax provision. Further changes in the tax laws of foreign jurisdictions could arise as a result of the base erosion and profit-shifting project, including Pillar Two, undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. We continue to monitor for additional guidance and legislative changes related to Pillar Two in the jurisdictions where we operate.

Various tax reforms are being considered in multiple jurisdictions that, if enacted, contain provisions that could materially impact our tax expense. We continue to monitor the potential impact of these various tax reform proposals to our overall global effective tax rate and financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and financing obtained from capital markets and financial institutions. Cash generated from operations is highly dependent on selling prices for our products, which can vary significantly from period to period. Cash and marketable investments totaled $16.63 billion as of February 26, 2026, and $11.94 billion as of August 28, 2025. Our cash and investments consist primarily of bank deposits, money market funds, and liquid investment-grade, fixed-income securities, which are diversified among industries and individual issuers. To mitigate credit risk, we invest through high-credit-quality financial institutions and by policy generally limit the concentration of credit exposure by restricting the amount of investments with any single obligor. As of February 26, 2026, $6.43 billion of our cash and marketable investments was held by our foreign subsidiaries.

We continuously evaluate alternatives for efficiently funding our capital expenditures and ongoing operations. We expect to engage in a variety of financing transactions, from time to time, for such purposes, as well as to refinance our existing indebtedness, including the issuance of securities. As of February 26, 2026, $3.50 billion was available to draw under our Revolving Credit Facility. Funding of certain significant capital projects is also dependent on the receipt of government incentives. Our incentives are conditioned upon achieving or maintaining certain outcomes and satisfying compliance requirements and are subject to reduction, termination, or clawback.

Table of Contents

To develop new product and process technology, support future growth, achieve operating efficiencies, and maintain product quality, we must continue to invest in manufacturing technologies, facilities and equipment, and R&D. We estimate capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment, net of proceeds from government incentives, to be above $25 billion in 2026. Actual amounts for 2026 will vary depending on market conditions and may vary from quarter to quarter due to the timing of expenditures and proceeds from government incentives. As of February 26, 2026, we had purchase obligations of approximately $2.10 billion for the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment, substantially all of which is expected to be paid within one year. For a description of other contractual obligations, such as finance leases and debt, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 9. Debt.

In addition to the supply capacity we generate through our proprietary product and process technology that increases bit density per wafer, we will need to add new DRAM wafer capacity to support projected memory demand in the second half of the decade. Following the enactment of the CHIPS Act, we announced plans to invest in leading-edge memory manufacturing sites in Idaho and New York, based on CHIPS Act support through grants and investment tax credits.

As part of this plan, in September 2022, we broke ground on a leading-edge memory manufacturing fab in Boise, Idaho. Construction of the fab began in October 2023, with first DRAM wafer output projected in mid-calendar 2027. In June 2025, in connection with certain amendments to our CHIPS Act agreements, we announced plans for a second leading-edge memory manufacturing fab in Idaho to serve growing market demand fueled by AI. We plan to begin construction of the second Idaho fab in 2026, and expect it to be operational by the end of 2028.

Our announced plan for New York includes construction of a leading-edge DRAM memory manufacturing site, consisting of up to four fabs to be built over the next 20-plus years, in Clay, New York. In January 2026, we broke ground on our first New York fab, which will provide supply in 2030 and beyond. We expect these new fabs to be key to meeting our requirements for additional wafer capacity, in line with industry demand trends and our objective of maintaining stable bit share.

On December 9, 2024, we entered into direct funding agreements with the U.S. Department of Commerce for up to $6.1 billion in direct funding pursuant to the CHIPS Act for a planned fab in Boise, Idaho, and two planned fabs in Clay, New York. On June 11, 2025, we entered into amendments to the direct funding agreements to add a second planned fab in Boise, Idaho, and allocate certain award funding to the second planned Idaho fab from the $6.1 billion grants previously awarded under the December 2024 direct funding agreements. The direct funding for up to $6.1 billion remains unchanged. On June 11, 2025, we also entered into a direct funding agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce for up to $275 million in direct funding to expand and modernize our fab in Manassas, Virginia. The grants under the funding agreements represent total CHIPS Act grants of up to $6.4 billion in connection with our U.S. manufacturing expansion and modernization projects. In addition, we announced plans to bring advanced HBM packaging capabilities to the United States.

In addition to the CHIPS Act direct funding, we receive a 35% investment tax credit on qualified investments in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing under the CHIPS Act. We have also signed a non-binding term sheet with the State of New York that provides for up to $5.5 billion in funding for the planned four-fab facility over the next 20-plus years through a combination of tax credits for qualified capital investments and incentives for eligible new job wages.

Outside the United States, we are investing in manufacturing technologies, facilities and equipment, and R&D, and advancing our global back-end assembly and test network. These investments support our product portfolio and extend our ability to meet global market demand in the future. Planned investments and those underway include the following:

33 | 2026 Q2 10-Q

Table of Contents

  • India:** Our assembly and test facility in Gujarat commenced commercial shipments and will start ramping production in 2026;

  • Japan:** We are modernizing our Hiroshima manufacturing facility to support future DRAM nodes and AI memory production;

  • Singapore:** We broke ground in January 2025 on an HBM advanced packaging facility to meaningfully expand our total advanced packaging capacity beginning in calendar 2027. In January 2026, we broke ground on an additional advanced wafer fab facility located within our existing NAND manufacturing complex. This facility will provide additional cleanroom space when it becomes operational in the second half of calendar 2028, helping address growing market demand for NAND technology driven by the rapid expansion of AI and data-centric applications; and

  • Taiwan:** We are modernizing our production capacity for DRAM and HBM products to meet rising market demand. On March 15, 2026, we completed the acquisition of a wafer fabrication facility in Tongluo, Miaoli County, Taiwan, from Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation for cash consideration to be paid in installments totaling $1.8 billion. We expect this site to support meaningful product shipments from the existing fab beginning in 2028. Adding to the existing fab, we plan to begin construction of a similar-sized second cleanroom at this site by the end of 2026.

In certain countries outside of the U.S, we receive or expect to receive, government incentives related to our investments. The amounts of these government incentives generally offset a portion of our planned investments and require us to meet certain conditions in order to receive such incentives.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the discretionary repurchase of up to $10 billion of our outstanding common stock through open-market purchases, block trades, privately-negotiated transactions, derivative transactions, and/or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any common stock, and is subject to market conditions, restrictions applicable under our CHIPS Act direct funding agreements, and our ongoing determination of the best use of available cash. Through February 26, 2026, we had repurchased an aggregate of $7.84 billion under the authorization. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11. Equity.

On March 18, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share, payable in cash on April 15, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 30, 2026. The declaration and payment of any future cash dividends are at the discretion and subject to the approval of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors’ decisions regarding the amount and payment of dividends will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions, debt service obligations, contractual restrictions, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

We expect that our cash and investments, cash flows from operations, funding from government incentives, and available financing will be sufficient to meet our requirements at least through the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

micron-logo-register-mark-blk-r-rgb.jpg 34

Table of Contents

The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2026 as compared to the first six months of 2025 was primarily due to higher net income in the current year adjusted for non-cash items, an increase in other current liabilities resulting mainly from higher consideration payable to customers for pricing adjustments, and an increase in noncurrent liabilities largely due to higher noncurrent income taxes payable related to the implementation of Pillar Two. These increases were partially offset by a significant increase in receivables due to higher revenue in the first six months of 2026.

Investing Activities: For the first six months of 2026, net cash used for investing activities consisted primarily of $11.78 billion of expenditures for property, plant, and equipment and $419 million of net outflows from purchases, maturities, and sales of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by $2.26 billion of proceeds from government incentives to offset capital expenditures.

For the first six months of 2025, net cash used for investing activities consisted primarily of $7.26 billion of expenditures for property, plant, and equipment, partially offset by $1.03 billion received from government incentives to offset capital expenditures.

Financing Activities: For the first six months of 2026, net cash used for financing activities consisted primarily of $4.63 billion of repayments of debt, which included the prepayment in full of the 2028 Notes, 2029 Term Loan A, 2029 A Notes, 2029 B Notes, and 2030 Notes; $650 million for the acquisition of 2.5 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase authorization; $545 million for the repurchases of common stock for withholdings on employee equity awards; and $266 million for payments of dividends to shareholders. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 9. Debt.

Risks Related to Our Business, Operations, and Industry

Volatility in average selling prices for our semiconductor memory and storage products may adversely affect our business.

We have experienced significant volatility in our average selling prices and may continue to experience such volatility in the future. In the past five fiscal years, annual percentage changes in DRAM average selling prices have ranged from plus low 40% to a minus high 40% range. In the past five fiscal years, annual percentage changes in NAND average selling prices have ranged from plus low 30% to a minus low 50% range. In some prior periods, average selling prices for our products have been below our manufacturing costs, and we may experience such circumstances in the future. Significant declines in average selling prices in future periods could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Our gross margins may be adversely affected by a range of factors.

In addition to the impact of our average selling prices, our gross margins are dependent, in part, upon continuing decreases in per gigabit manufacturing costs achieved through improvements in our manufacturing processes and product designs. Factors that may limit our ability to reduce our per gigabit manufacturing costs at sufficient levels to prevent deterioration of or improve gross margins include, but are not limited to:

  • strategic product diversification decisions affecting product mix;

  • increasing complexity of our product portfolio, which may impact operational costs;

  • increasing complexity of manufacturing processes;

  • difficulties in transitioning to smaller line-width process technologies or additional 3D memory layers or NAND cell levels;

  • process complexity, including number of mask layers and fabrication steps;

  • manufacturing yield and defect density;

  • technological barriers;

  • changes in process technologies;

  • new products that may require relatively larger die sizes or advanced packaging technologies;

  • start-up or other costs associated with capacity expansions;

  • regional cost differences that may become more pronounced when we transition the manufacture of certain products within our global network;

  • higher costs of goods and services due to, among other things, inflationary pressures, regulatory actions, including tariffs or trade restrictions, increased input costs, or market conditions; and

  • higher manufacturing costs per gigabit due to fabrication facility underutilization, lower wafer output, and insufficient volume to run new technology nodes to achieve cost optimization.

Many factors may result in a reduction of our output or a delay in ramping production, which have in the past and could in the future lead to underutilization of our production assets. These factors may include, among others, a weak demand environment, industry oversupply, inventory surpluses, difficulties in ramping emerging technologies, supply chain disruptions, and delays from equipment suppliers. A significant portion of our manufacturing costs are fixed and do not vary proportionally with changes in production output. As a result, lower utilization, lower wafer output, and corresponding increases in our per gigabit manufacturing costs could result in higher inventory carrying costs, and have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our gross margins, business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We operate in a dynamic and rapidly evolving industry where the timeframes for product transitions, facility expansions, production ramps, and supply chain shifts are increasingly compressed. To remain competitive, we must continuously develop and implement new products and technologies and decrease manufacturing costs in spite of inflationary pressures and regulatory uncertainty. As we streamline our production and shift capacity to leading-edge nodes, we face execution risks that could impact our ability to meet customer demand and maintain market coverage.
