Note 7 – 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 alleges 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 alleges that the Company aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs seek 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 denied on May 30, 2023. On June 21, 2023, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court and on August 8, 2023, the plaintiffs filed their Opening Brief in support of their appeal. The appeal remains pending. The Company believes that it and the other defendants have meritorious arguments in response to the appeal and defenses to the underlying allegations; however, the Company is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this matter or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses, if any.
Note 8 – 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 revenue within, each

end market.

In addition to the methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments disclosed in Note 2j, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2022, the following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments:
Interest rate derivative — The fair value of interest rate derivatives is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the contractual terms of the derivatives.
Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Held for sale assets — The Company has classified the assets held for sale at carrying value. However, if they were to be carried at fair value, they would be considered a Level 3 fair value measurement and would be determined based on the use of appraisals and input from market participants.
Commercial paper — The fair values of commercial paper are obtained from indicative market prices and are classified
11


as Level 2 measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. As of July 29, 2023, the fair value of the commercial paper notes was $545.4 million.
Debt — The table below presents the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. 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.

Note 10 – Derivatives
Foreign Exchange Exposure Management — The total notional amounts of forward foreign currency derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments of cash flow hedges denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Philippine Pesos, Thai Baht, South Korean Won and Japanese Yen as of July 29, 2023 and October 29, 2022 were $296.8 million and $307.1 million, respectively. The fair values of forward foreign currency derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 29, 2023 and October 29, 2022 were as follows:

As of July 29, 2023 and October 29, 2022, the total notional amounts of undesignated hedges related to forward foreign currency exchange contracts were $412.6 million and $246.4 million, respectively.
The following table presents the gross amounts of the Company's forward foreign currency exchange contract derivative assets and liabilities and the net amounts recorded in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Net assets (liabilities) presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets$8,910 $(16,984)
Interest Rate Exposure Management — The Company's current and future debt may be subject to interest rate risk. The Company utilizes interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce the effects of changes in interest rates. During fiscal 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions related to its outstanding $1,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.1% senior unsecured notes (the 2031 Notes) where the Company swapped the notional amount of its $1,000.0 million of fixed rate debt at 2.1% into floating interest rate debt through April 1, 2031. The fair value of the swaps at inception was zero and subsequent changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were reflected in the carrying value of the interest rate swaps on the balance sheet. The carrying value of the debt on the balance sheet was adjusted by an equal and offsetting amount. The interest rate swaps were designated and qualified as fair value hedges. The Company does not
12


consider the risk of counterparty default to be significant. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate risk and the offsetting gain or loss on the related interest rate swaps were recorded as follows:

Note 12 – Debt
Revolving Credit Facility. On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and the other banks identified therein as lenders. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a five year unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.5 billion (subject to certain terms and conditions).
In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement, replacing the LIBOR interest rate provisions with interest rate provisions based on a forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment. After the amendment, revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement can be Term SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans (each as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended) at the Company's option. Each Term SOFR Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable adjusted term SOFR plus a margin based on the Company's Debt Ratings (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended) from time to time of between 0.690% and 1.175%. As of July 29, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this revolving credit facility but may borrow in the future and use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other lawful corporate purposes.
Outstanding Debt. On April 26, 2023, the Company redeemed for cash $59.8 million representing all of the outstanding 3.450% senior notes due June 15, 2027 issued by Maxim (Maxim Notes) in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Maxim Notes. The Maxim Notes were redeemed for cash at a redemption price equal to $1,012.55 for each $1,000 principal of the Maxim Notes and included accrued interest.
On August 18, 2023, the Company commenced an offer to exchange up to $440.2 million of newly registered 3.450% Senior Notes due 2027 (new notes) for up to $440.2 million of existing unregistered 3.450% Senior Notes due 2027 (old notes). See Note 15, Subsequent Events, in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Commercial Paper Program. On April 14, 2023, the Company established a commercial paper program under which the Company may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes (CP Notes) in amounts up to a maximum aggregate face amount of $2.5 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities up to 397 days from the date of issuance. The CP Notes will be sold under customary market terms in the U.S. commercial paper market at a discount from par or at par and bear interest at rates determined at the time of issuance. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the CP Notes for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, repayment of indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital. As of July 29, 2023, the Company had $544.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The carrying value of the outstanding CP Notes approximated fair value at July 29, 2023.

Note 13 – Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 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 (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act). The mandatory capitalization requirement decreases the Company's effective tax rate primarily by increasing the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was also impacted by a discrete income tax benefit recorded of $81.1 million resulting from the approval granted by the Joint Committee on Taxation of its federal corporate income tax relief claim which reduced the amount of transition tax owed under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
It is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrealized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, could decrease by as much as approximately $133.0 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 November 3, 2018 and November 2, 2019; a pre-acquisition IRS income tax audit for Maxim's fiscal years ended June 27, 2015 through August 26, 2021; various U.S. state and local audits and various 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 14 – New Accounting Pronouncements
Standards to Be Implemented
Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities. Under the new 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. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending November 2, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period, for any period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. However, adoption in an interim period other than the first fiscal quarter requires an entity to apply the new guidance to all prior business combinations that have occurred since the beginning of the annual period in which the new guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption date of ASU 2021-08 and the impact, if any, adoption will have on its financial position and results of operations.
Note 15 – Subsequent Events
On August 18, 2023, the Company commenced an offer to exchange up to $440.2 million of newly registered new notes for up to $440.2 million of existing unregistered old notes. The terms of the new notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the old notes for which they are being offered in exchange, except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the old notes do not apply to the new notes.
On August 22, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.86 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 14, 2023 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on September 5, 2023 and is expected to total approximately $428.6 million.

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 our product will be incorporated. As data systems for capturing and tracking this data and our methodology evolves and improves, the categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When this occurs, we reclassify revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of revenue within, each end market.

increases in our Industrial end market, namely sustainable energy and aerospace and defense and our Automotive end market, namely cabin electronics and battery management systems.
Revenue increased 9% in the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily the result of broad-based demand for our products sold into the Industrial end market, namely sustainable energy and aerospace and defense and the Automotive end market, namely cabin electronics and battery management systems, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in the Consumer end market primarily due to weakening market trends and a decrease in revenue in the Communications end market due to the timing of infrastructure deployment cycles.
Revenue by Sales Channel
The following tables summarize revenue by sales channel. We sell our products globally through a direct sales force, third party distributors, independent sales representatives and via our website. Distributors are customers that buy products with the intention of reselling them. Direct customers are non-distributor customers and consist primarily of original equipment manufacturers. Other customers include the U.S. government, government prime contractors and certain commercial customers for which revenue is recorded over time.

The decrease in the three-month period ended July 29, 2023 primarily relates to lower utilization of our factories due to decreased customer demand. The increase in the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023 was primarily the result of additional cost of goods sold of $271.4 million related to a nonrecurring fair value adjustment recorded to inventory in the nine-month period ended July 30, 2022 as a result of the acquisition of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.

The decrease in the nine-month period was primarily the result of lower R&D employee-related variable compensation expenses.
R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue will fluctuate from year-to-year depending on the amount of revenue and the success of new product development efforts, which we view as critical to our future growth. We expect to continue the development of innovative technologies and processes for new products. We believe that a continued commitment to R&D is essential to maintain product leadership with our existing products as well as to provide innovative new product offerings.

The year-over-year increase in operating income in the three-month period ended July 29, 2023 was primarily the result of decreases of $114.7 million in special charges, net and $8.1 million in R&D expenses, partially offset by decreases in gross margin of $81.5 million and an increase of $7.2 million in SMG&A expenses.
The year-over-year increase in operating income in the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023 was primarily the result of an increase in revenue of $822.8 million and an increase in gross margin percent, which contributed to an increase in gross margin of $840.8 million, and decreases of $197.9 million in special charges, net and $25.9 million in R&D expenses, partially offset by an increase of $55.0 million in SMG&A expenses.

The year-over-year increase in nonoperating expense (income) in the three-month period ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior year was the result of higher interest expense related to our debt obligations partially offset by higher interest income.
The year-over-year increase in nonoperating expense (income) in the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the same period of the prior year was the result of higher interest expense related to our debt obligations and lower net gains from other investments partially offset by higher interest income.

The effective tax rates for both the three- and nine-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 were below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% due to lower statutory tax rates applicable to our operations in the foreign jurisdictions in which we earn income. Our pretax income for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 was primarily generated in Ireland at a tax rate of 12.5%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 29, 2023 also included 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. The mandatory capitalization requirement decreased our effective tax rate primarily by increasing the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was also impacted by a discrete income tax benefit recorded of $81.1 million resulting from the approval granted by the Joint Committee on Taxation of our federal corporate income tax relief claim which reduced the amount of transition tax owed under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Net income increased in the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, the result of a $1,012.5 million increase in operating income and a $18.3 million decrease in (benefit from) provision for income taxes, partially offset by a $27.0 million increase in nonoperating expense (income).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 29, 2023, our principal source of liquidity was $1,149.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $253.9 million was held in the United States, and the balance of our cash and cash equivalents was held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by, among other things, reviewing available funds held by our foreign subsidiaries and the cost effectiveness by which those funds can be accessed in the United States. We do not expect current regulatory restrictions or taxes on repatriation to have a material adverse effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, including money market funds. We maintain these balances with counterparties with high credit ratings, and continually monitor the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and diversify our investments in order to minimize our credit risk.
We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to be generated from future operations, together with existing and anticipated available short- and long-term financing, will be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and dividend payments (if any) in the immediate future and for at least the next twelve months.

The following changes contributed to the net change in cash and cash equivalents in the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2022.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, was the result of higher net income adjusted for noncash items offset by changes in working capital.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows generally consist of capital expenditures and cash used for acquisitions. The increase in cash used for investing activities during the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily the result of an increase in cash used for capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows generally consist of payments of dividends to stockholders, repurchases of common stock, issuance and repayment of debt and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to employee equity incentive plans. The decrease in cash used for financing activities during the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023, as compared to the same
20


period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily the result of higher net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes and lower debt repayments, partially offset by higher common stock repurchases.

_______________________________________
*We use the average of the current quarter and prior quarter ending net accounts receivable and ending inventory balance in our calculation of days sales outstanding and days cost of sales in inventory, respectively. Cost of sales amounts used in the calculation of days cost of sales in inventory include accounting adjustments related to amortization of developed technology intangible assets acquired and depreciation related to the write-up of fixed assets to fair value as a result of the acquisition of Maxim.
The decrease in accounts receivable in dollars was primarily the result of variations in the timing of collections and billings.
Inventory increased primarily as a result of our efforts to balance manufacturing production, demand and inventory levels. Our inventory levels are impacted by our need to support forecasted sales demand and variations between those forecasts and actual demand.
Current liabilities increased to $2,831.0 million at July 29, 2023 as compared to $2,442.7 million at the end of fiscal 2022 due to an increase in commercial paper notes and income taxes payable, partially offset by lower accrued liabilities.
Debt
As of July 29, 2023, our debt obligations consisted of the following:
Principal Amount Outstanding
2024 Notes, due October 2024$500,000 
2025 Notes, due April 2025400,000 
2026 Notes, due December 2026900,000

2045 Notes, due December 2045332,587 
2051 Notes, due October 20511,000,000 
Total debt$6,517,077 
The indentures governing our outstanding notes contain covenants that may limit our ability to: incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt for borrowed money 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 our assets to, any other party. As of July 29, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Commercial Paper Program
On April 14, 2023, we established a commercial paper program under which we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes in amounts up to a maximum aggregate face amount of $2.5 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities up to 397 days from the date of issuance. As of July 29, 2023, we had $544.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We intend to use the net proceeds of the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, repayment of indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital.

Revolving Credit Facility
Our Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2021 and as amended (Revolving Credit Agreement), provides for a five year unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.5 billion (subject to certain terms and conditions).
We may borrow under this revolving credit facility in the future and use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other lawful corporate purposes. The terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement impose restrictions on our ability to undertake certain transactions, to create certain liens on assets and to incur certain subsidiary indebtedness. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains a consolidated leverage ratio covenant of total consolidated funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0. As of July 29, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Stock Repurchase Program
In the aggregate, our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase $16.7 billion of our common stock under our common stock repurchase program. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of our Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when we have repurchased all shares authorized under the program. As of July 29, 2023, an additional $2.6 billion remains available for repurchase under the current authorized program. The repurchased shares are held as authorized but unissued shares of common stock. We also repurchase 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 our employee stock purchase plan. Future repurchases of common stock will be dependent upon our financial position, results of operations, outlook, liquidity and other factors we deem relevant.
Capital Expenditures
Net additions to property, plant and equipment were $785.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. We expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2023 to be between approximately 7% to 9% of revenue, which is above our historical levels primarily due to our plans to expand internal manufacturing capacity. These capital expenditures will be funded with a combination of cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from future operations, together with existing and anticipated available short- and long-term financing.
Dividends
On August 22, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.86 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 14, 2023 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on September 5, 2023 and is expected to total approximately $428.6 million. We currently expect quarterly dividends to continue in future periods. The payment of any future quarterly dividends, or a future increase in the quarterly dividend amount, will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent upon our financial position, results of operations, outlook, liquidity and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
Contractual Obligations
There have not been any material changes during the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023 to the amounts presented in the table summarizing our contractual obligations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 29, 2022.
New Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards will not have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations. See Note 14, New Accounting Pronouncements, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, including the dates of adoption and impact on our historical financial condition and results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no material changes in the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023 to the information provided under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 29, 2022.

ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in the nine-month period ended July 29, 2023 to the information provided under Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 29, 2022.
ITEM 4.Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 29, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 29, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended July 29, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
