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, 2024.

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, 2024.

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 as included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in our notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Chief Executive Officer Succession

Following the previous announcement on April 28, 2025, Kurt Sievers has voluntarily retired as CEO and executive director of the Company effective October 28, 2025. The Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously appointed Rafael Sotomayor to succeed Mr. Sievers as President and CEO and temporary executive director of the Company effective as of October 28, 2025.

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, 2024. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recent accounting standards

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and, disclosure of income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated. We have adopted ASU 2023-09 and will implement the applicable disclosure for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

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

On October 24, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Aviva Links for $243 million in cash, before closing adjustments. 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. We are currently evaluating the purchase price allocation for this transaction and expect to have our preliminary allocation completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

On October 27, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Kinara, Inc. for $307 million in cash, before closing adjustments. 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. We are currently evaluating the purchase price allocation for this transaction and expect to have our preliminary allocation completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

2025

On June 17, 2025, NXP announced the closing of the acquisition of 100% of TTTech Auto for $766 million in cash ($679 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 preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the TTTech Auto acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:

Cash91
Other assets75
Other liabilities(52)
Identified intangible assets345
Goodwill307
Net assets acquired766

The final determination of the fair values of certain assets and liabilities will be completed in the quarters subsequent to the acquisition date.

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 valueWeighted Average Estimated Useful Life (in Years)
Software26711.5
Technology2511.5
Customer relationships498.5
Order backlog43.5
Total identified intangible assets345

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.

There were no material divestments during the first nine months of 2025.

2024

There were no material acquisitions or divestments during the first nine months of 2024.

4 Assets Held for Sale

In the second quarter of 2025, NXP management, in reviewing its portfolio, concluded that certain activities related to our MEMS sensors business line no longer fit the NXP strategic portfolio and took actions that resulted in the business line meeting the criteria to be classified as held for sale. On July 24, 2025, NXP reached a definitive agreement with STMicroelectronics International N.V., under which NXP will sell the business for an amount up to $950 million in cash, including $900 million at closing and up to an additional $50 million subject to the achievement of technical milestones. Subject to customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close during 2026. The carrying value of these assets held for sale as of September 28, 2025, are comprised of current assets of $87 million and non-current assets of $205 million, which consists primarily of goodwill of $170 million.

  2. There were 0.4 million unvested RSUs, PSUs and equity rights that were outstanding in Q3 2025 and YTD 2025 (Q3 2024: 0.4 million shares and YTD 2024: 0.2 shares) that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the number of shares assumed to be repurchased using the proceeds of unrecognized compensation expense were greater than the weighted average number of outstanding unvested RSUs, PSUs and equity rights or the performance goal has not been met yet.

As of January 1, 2025AdditionsUtilizedReleasedOther changesAs of September 28, 2025
Restructuring liabilities15789(137)(5)5109

The total restructuring liability as of September 28, 2025 of $109 million is classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under current liabilities ($49 million) and non-current liabilities ($60 million).

The restructuring charges for the nine-month period ending September 28, 2025 primarily consist of $89 million for personnel related costs for specific targeted actions, offset by a $5 million release for an earlier program. The restructuring charges for the nine-month period ending September 29, 2024 consist of $21 million for personnel related costs for specific targeted actions, offset by a $9 million release for an earlier program.

These restructuring charges recorded in operating income, for the periods indicated, are included in the following line items in the statement of operations:

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 2025 is based on our EAETR of 18.7%, 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 endedFor the nine months ended
September 28, 2025September 29, 2024September 28, 2025September 29, 2024

Benefit (provision) for income taxes(148)(173)(394)(468)
Effective tax rate18.6%19.0%19.4%18.6%

The effective tax rate of 18.6% for the third quarter of 2025 was lower than the EAETR due to the income tax benefit for discrete items of $1 million. The discrete items are primarily related to the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items, changes in estimates for previous years, and changes in the litigation accrual and related insurance reimbursements relating to the Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits regarding previous years.

For the first nine months ended 2025, the effective tax rate of 19.4% was higher than 18.7% due to a net result of unfavorable discrete items of $14 million. These discrete items are primarily related to the impact of changes in estimates for previous years, and changes in the litigation accrual and related insurance reimbursements relating to the Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits.

The effective tax rate of 19.4% for the first nine months of 2025 was higher compared to the rate for the first nine months ended 2024 of 18.6% due to a different mix of the benefit (provision) for income taxes in our operating locations and lower foreign tax incentives in the current period as a result of a decrease in qualifying income.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented as of 2026. We have assessed that there is effectively no material tax impact on our consolidated financial statements. We also note that there is still unclarity about what the G7 statement in relation to the US on global minimum taxes, as announced on June 28, 2025, could mean for the Company.

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 hierarchySeptember 28, 2025December 31, 2024
Assets:
Short-term deposits1500—
Money market funds12,3732,398
Marketable equity securities112
Derivative instruments-assets242
Liabilities:
Derivative instruments-liabilities2(9)(10)

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

Investments in short-term deposits, representing liquid assets with original maturity beyond three months and having no significant risk of changes in fair value, are represented at carrying value as reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of the instruments and their expected realization. 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.

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 September 28, 2025, the estimated fair value of current and non-current debt was $11.5 billion ($9.8 billion as of December 31, 2024). 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. 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 values above ($15 million as of September 28, 2025 and no outstanding commercial paper notes as of December 31, 2024).

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 September 28, 2025, other than foundry joint venture commitments, the Company had purchase

commitments of $3,341 million, which are due through 2044.

Foundry Joint Venture Commitments

Driven by our investment in VSMC, NXP has committed to invest an additional $1,251 million in equity through 2026. NXP has committed to contribute an additional $540 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 $449 million in equity through 2028.

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 September 28, 2025, amounts related to future lease payments for operating lease obligations totaled $531 million (December 31, 2024: $321 million), which are due through 2048. The increase in Q3 2025 resulted from a lease agreement for a new greenfield facility with office and lab areas, commencing in 2030 with a fixed 20-year term.

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 Condensed 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 is currently assisting Motorola in the defense of personal injury lawsuits due to indemnity obligations included in the agreement that separated Freescale from Motorola in 2004. The multi-plaintiff Motorola lawsuits are pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. These claims allege a link between working in semiconductor manufacturing clean room facilities and birth defects. The Company is in process of finalizing agreements to resolve 4 cases, and claims from 5 individuals remain pending in Cook County. The Motorola suits allege exposures between 1980 and 2005. Each claim seeks an unspecified amount of damages for the alleged injuries; however, legal counsel representing the plaintiffs has indicated they will seek substantial compensatory and punitive damages from Motorola for the entire inventory of claims which, if proven and recovered, the Company considers to be material. A portion of any indemnity due to Motorola will be reimbursed to NXP if Motorola receives an indemnification payment from its insurance coverage. Motorola has potential insurance coverage for many of the years indicated above, but with differing types and levels of coverage, self-insurance retention amounts and deductibles. We are in discussions with Motorola and their insurers regarding the availability of applicable insurance coverage for each of the individual cases. Motorola and NXP have denied liability for these alleged injuries based on numerous defenses.

Legal Proceedings Related Accruals and 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 $116 million accrued for potential and current legal proceedings as of September 28, 2025, compared to $281 million accrued at December 31, 2024 (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements). The accruals are included in “Other current liabilities” and in “Other non-current liabilities”. As of September 28, 2025, the Company’s related balance of insurance reimbursements was $92 million (December 31, 2024: $259 million) and is included in “Other non-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. The estimated aggregate range requires significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings, the existence of multiple defendants (including the Company) in such claims whose share of liability has yet to be determined, the numerous yet-unresolved issues in many of the claims, and the attendant uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such claims. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more than the current estimate. As at September 28, 2025, the Company believes that for all litigation pending its potential aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued (without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under insurance programs) could range between $0 and $116 million. Based upon our past experience with these matters, the Company would expect to receive additional insurance reimbursement of up to $92 million on certain of these claims that would partially offset the potential aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued.
