ICHOR HOLDINGS, LTD.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollar figures in tables in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Selected Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. All dollar figures presented in tables in the notes to consolidated financial statements are in thousands, except per share amounts. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations for interim reporting. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 25, 2020.

Year End

We use a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Friday in December. The three months ended June 25, 2021 and June 26, 2020 were both 13 weeks. References to the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 refer to the three-month periods then ended. References to fiscal year 2021 and 2020 refer to our fiscal years ending December 31, 2021 and December 25, 2020, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management. Significant estimates include inventory valuation, uncertain tax positions, fair value assigned to stock options granted, and impairment analysis for both definite‑lived intangible assets and goodwill.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits and financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of acquisition. Marketable securities consist primarily of highly liquid investments with maturities of greater than 90 days when purchased. We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly, report them at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any unrealized losses which are considered to be other-than-temporary are recorded in other income (expense), net. Realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities are determined using the specific-identification method and recorded in other income (expense), net.

All of our available-for-sale investments are subject to a periodic impairment review. If an available-for-sale debt security’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, then we evaluate whether the decline is the result of a credit loss, in which case an impairment is recorded through an allowance for credit losses. Unrealized gains and losses not attributable to credit losses are included, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We have not record an allowance for credit losses during 2021.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This amount is recorded as net sales in our consolidated statements of operations.

Transaction price – In most of our contracts, prices are generally determined by a customer-issued purchase order and generally remain fixed over the duration of the contract. Certain contracts contain variable consideration, including early-payment discounts and rebates. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. Historically, we have not incurred significant costs to obtain a contract. All amounts billed to a customer relating to shipping and handling are classified as net sales, while all costs incurred by us for shipping and handling are classified as cost of sales.

7


 

Performance obligations – Substantially all of our performance obligations pertain to promised goods (“products”), which are primarily comprised of fluid delivery subsystems, weldments, and other components. Most of our contracts contain a single performance obligation and are generally completed within twelve months. Product sales are recognized at a point-in-time, generally upon delivery, as such term is defined within the contract, as that is when control of the promised good has transferred. Products are covered by a standard assurance warranty, generally extended for a period of one to two years depending on the customer, which promises that delivered products conform to contract specifications. As such, we account for such warranties under ASC 460, Guarantees, and not as a separate performance obligation.

Contract balances – Accounts receivable represents our unconditional right to receive consideration from our customers. Accounts receivable are carried at invoice price less an estimate for doubtful accounts and estimated payment discounts. Payment terms vary by customer but are generally due within 15‑60 days. Historically, we have not incurred significant payment issues with our customers. We had no significant contract assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets in any of the periods presented.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in the ASU include removing exceptions to incremental intraperiod tax allocation of losses and gains from different financial statement components, exceptions to the method of recognizing income taxes on interim period losses, and exceptions to deferred tax liability recognition related to foreign subsidiary investments. In addition, the ASU requires that entities recognize franchise tax based on an incremental method and requires an entity to evaluate the accounting for step-ups in the tax basis of goodwill as inside or outside of a business combination. We adopted the standard on the first day of 2021, and it did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Note 5 – Leases

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, we use the non-cancellable lease term plus options to extend that we are reasonably certain to take. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. As such, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

We lease facilities under various non-cancellable operating leases expiring through 2026. In addition to base rental payments, we are generally responsible for our proportionate share of operating expenses, including facility maintenance, insurance, and property taxes. As these amounts are variable, they are not included in lease liabilities. As of June 25, 2021, we had zero operating lease executed for which the rental period had not yet commenced.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 25, 2021 differs from the statutory rate due to taxes on foreign income that differ from the U.S. tax rate, including a tax holiday in Singapore, and the impact of share-based compensation activity during the quarter.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 26, 2020 differs from the statutory rate due to taxes on foreign income that differ from the U.S. tax rate, excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, and the impact of the CARES Act.

The ending balance for the unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was approximately $3.2 million at June 25, 2021. The related interest and penalties were insignificant. The uncertain tax positions that are reasonably possible to decrease in the next twelve months are insignificant.

As of June 25, 2021, we were not under examination by tax authorities.

Note 7 – Employee Benefit Programs

401(k) Plan

We sponsor a 401(k) plan available to employees of our U.S.‑based subsidiaries. Participants may make salary deferral contributions not to exceed 50% of a participant’s annual compensation or the maximum amount otherwise allowed by law. Eligible employees receive a discretionary matching contribution equal to 50% of a participant’s deferral, up to an annual matching maximum of 4% of a participant’s annual compensation. Matching contributions were $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively and $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 25, 2021 and June 26, 2020, respectively.

On February 15, 2018, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which includes a $175.0 million term loan and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility. We incurred debt issuance costs of $2.1 million in connection with the amendment. The amendment did not meet the definition of an extinguishment and was accounted for as a modification. Term loan principal payments of $2.2 million are due on a quarterly basis. The credit facilities mature on February 15, 2023.

Interest is charged at either the Base Rate or the Eurodollar rate (as such terms are defined in the credit agreement) at our option, plus an applicable margin. The Base Rate is equal to the higher of i) the Prime Rate, ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. The Eurodollar rate is equal to LIBOR, subject to a 1.00% floor for the term loan. The applicable margin on Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate loans is 0.75‑1.50% and 1.75‑2.50% per annum, respectively, depending on our leverage ratio. We are also charged a commitment fee of 0.20%-0.35% on the unused portion of our revolving credit facility. Base Rate interest payments and commitment fees are due quarterly. Eurodollar interest payments are due on the last day of the applicable interest period. At June 25, 2021, the term loan and revolving credit facility bore interest at the Eurodollar rate option of 3.00% and 2.03%, respectively.

Note 9 – Share‑Based Compensation

The 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) provides for grants of share‑based awards to employees, directors, and consultants. Awards may be in the form of stock options (“options”), tandem and non‑tandem stock appreciation rights, restricted share awards or restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance awards, and other share‑based awards. Forfeited or expired awards are returned to the incentive plan pool for future grants. Awards generally vest over four years, 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and quarterly thereafter over the remaining 3 years. Upon vesting of RSUs, employees may elect to have shares withheld to cover statutory minimum withholding taxes. Shares withheld are not reflected as an issuance of ordinary shares within our consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, as the shares were never issued, and the associated tax payments are reflected as financing activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Share‑based compensation expense across all plans for options, RSUs, and employee share purchase rights was $2.7 million and $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $5.1 million and $5.0 million for the six months ended June 25, 2021 and June 26, 2020, respectively.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

The 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2017 ESPP”) grants employees the ability to designate a portion of their base-pay to purchase ordinary shares at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the first or last day of each 6 month purchase period. Purchase periods begin on January 1 or July 1 and end on June 30 or December 31, or the next business day if such date is not a business day. Shares are purchased on the last day of the purchase period.

During the six months ended June 25, 2021, 27,151 ordinary shares were purchased by eligible employees under the 2017 ESPP. As of June 25, 2021, approximately 2.4 million ordinary shares remain available for purchase under the 2017 ESPP.

A combined total of approximately 185,000, 1,790,000, 185,000, and 1,555,000 potentially dilutive options and RSUs were excluded from the calculation of net income per share for the three and six months ended June 25, 2021 and June 26, 2020, respectively, because including them would have been antidilutive under the treasury stock method.

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain assets and liabilities, including cash equivalents and marketable securities, at fair value. Whenever possible, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are determined using quoted market prices of identical securities or quoted market prices of similar securities from active markets. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

As of June 25, 2021, assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Note 12 – Segment Information

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews our results of operations on a consolidated level and executive staff is structured by function rather than by product category. Therefore, we operate in one operating segment. Key resources, decisions, and assessment of performance are also analyzed on a company‑wide level.

Foreign operations are conducted primarily through our wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore and Malaysia. Our principal markets include North America, Asia and, to a lesser degree, Europe. Sales by geographic area represent sales to unaffiliated customers.

All information on sales by geographic area is based upon the location to which the products were shipped. The following table sets forth sales by geographic area:

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. The following discussion contains forward‑looking statements based upon our current plans, expectations, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward‑looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

Overview

We are a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems and components for semiconductor capital equipment. Our product offerings include gas and chemical delivery systems and subsystems, collectively known as fluid delivery systems and subsystems, which are key elements of the process tools used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. Our gas delivery subsystems deliver, monitor, and control precise quantities of the specialized gases used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as etch and deposition. Our chemical delivery systems and subsystems precisely blend and dispense the reactive liquid chemistries used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as chemical-mechanical planarization, electroplating, and cleaning. We also manufacture precision machined components, weldments, and proprietary products for use in fluid delivery systems for direct sales to our customers. This vertically integrated portion of our business is primarily focused on metal and plastic parts that are used in gas and chemical systems, respectively.

Fluid delivery subsystems ensure accurate measurement and uniform delivery of specialty gases and chemicals at critical steps in the semiconductor manufacturing processes. Any malfunction or material degradation in fluid delivery reduces yields and increases the likelihood of manufacturing defects in these processes. Most OEMs outsource all or a portion of the design, engineering, and manufacturing of their gas delivery subsystems to a few specialized suppliers, including us. Additionally, many OEMs are also increasingly outsourcing the design, engineering, and manufacturing of their chemical delivery subsystems due to the increased fluid expertise required to manufacture these subsystems. Outsourcing these subsystems has allowed OEMs to leverage the suppliers’ highly specialized engineering, design, and production skills while focusing their internal resources on their own value-added processes. We believe that this outsourcing trend has enabled OEMs to reduce their costs and development time, as well as provide growth opportunities for specialized subsystems suppliers like us.

We have a global footprint with production facilities in California, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Korea, and Mexico.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Market Conditions Update

The COVID‑19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have created, and are expected to continue to create, significant volatility, uncertainty, and turmoil in our industry. While our facilities are currently not subject to any site-wide government shutdowns, “social distancing” guidelines are resulting, and will continue to result in, reduced factory output. In addition, an increase in direct costs within our factories associated with employee personal protective equipment (“PPE”), facility cleaning and layout changes, together with increases in logistics costs and employee labor costs, as well as other operating inefficiencies have resulted in, and may continue to result in, lower revenues and operating margins. The extent and duration of these impacts cannot be specifically quantified given the dynamic nature and breadth of the pandemic’s impact on our operations and that of our customers and suppliers.

The increase in net sales from the three and six months ended June 26, 2020 to the three and six months ended June 25, 2021 was primarily due to increased demand from our customers as a result of growth in the global wafer fabrication equipment market, as well as share-gains at our largest customers.

Net sales to U.S. customers increased by $20.1 million and $38.3 million for the three and six months ended June 25, 2021, respectively. On a relative basis, net sales to U.S. customers as a percent of total net sales decreased from 53.1% and 54.0% to 48.8% and 50.6% for the three and six months ended June 25, 2021, respectively.

Net sales to international customers increased by $40.7 million and $66.9 million for the three and six months ended June 25, 2021, respectively. On a relative basis, net sales to international customers as a percent of total net sales increased increased from 46.9% and 46.0% to 51.2% and 49.4% for the three and six months ended June 25. 2021, respectively.

The increase in cost of sales and gross profit from the three and six months ended June 26, 2020 to the three and six months ended June 25, 2021 was primarily due to increased sales volume.

The increase in our gross margin from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to increased factory utilization, as a result of higher overall volume, product mix, and $1.5 million in costs recorded in the second quarter of 2020 in connection with the planned closure of our Union City, California facility that did not repeat in the second quarter of 2021. The facility ceased operations during the second quarter of 2021.

The increase in our gross margin from the six months ended June 26, 2020 to the six months ended June 25, 2021 was primarily due to due to increased factory utilization, as a result of higher overall volume, product mix, and $1.4 million in costs recorded in the first quarter of 2020 in connection with a mutual contract settlement that did not repeat in 2021, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in costs recorded in connection with the planned closure of our Union City, California facility.

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due $1.1 million in increased employee-related expenses, including a $0.4 million increase in share-based compensation expense, $0.3 million in increased facility closure costs incurred in connection with the planned closure of our Union City, California facility, and $0.3 million in increased computer hardware and software costs to support the growing organization, partially offset by $0.3 million in reduced professional and related consulting fees.

The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense from the six months ended June 26, 2020 to the six months ended June 25, 2021 was primarily due to $1.8 million in executive transition costs associated with the transition of our former CEO to Executive Chairman in the first quarter of 2020 that did not repeat in the first quarter of 2021 and $0.8 million in reduced professional and related consulting fees, partially offset by $0.8 million in increased employee-related expenses and $0.8 million in increased computer hardware and software costs.

The decrease in interest expense from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a 92 basis point decrease in our weighted average interest rate, from 3.93% to 3.01%, and a $33.5 million decrease in our average amount borrowed during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020.

The decrease in interest expense from the six months ended June 26, 2020 to the six months ended June 25, 2021 was primarily due to a 101 basis point decrease in our weighted average interest rate, from 4.17% to 3.16%, and a $13.0 million decrease in our average amount borrowed during the six months ended June 25, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2020.

The change in other expense, net from the three and six months ended June 26, 2020 to the three and six months ended June 25, 2021 was primarily due to currency exchange rate changes during the quarter as a result of transactions denominated in the local currencies of our foreign operations. These local currencies consist primarily of the Singapore dollar, Malaysian ringgit, and euro.

The increase in income tax expense from the three and six months ended June 26, 2020 to the three and six months ended June 26, 2021 was primarily due to increased taxable income in the U.S. in 2021, partially offset by benefits from share-based compensation activity during the periods, as well as a decrease in the release of certain tax reserves related to statute of limitations expirations or settlements.

Non‑GAAP Results

Management uses non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view our results from management’s perspective. Non-GAAP net income is defined as: net income excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses, including contract settlement losses and divestiture and facility shutdown related charges; and (2) the tax impacts associated with our non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average diluted ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

The following table presents our unaudited non‑GAAP net income and a reconciliation from net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated:

Included in this amount for the three and six months ended June 25, 2021 are (i) non-capitalized costs incurred in connection with our implementation of a new ERP system and a Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”) compliance program and (ii) a non-recurring settlement charge.

Included in this amount for the second quarter of 2020 are primarily (i) acquisition-related expenses associated with a two-year retention agreement between the Company and key management personnel of IAN (the “IAN retention agreement”), which we acquired in April 2018, and (ii) non-capitalizable costs incurred in connection with our implementation of a new ERP system and a SOX compliance program.

Included in this amount for the six months ended June 26, 2020 are (i) a $1.8 million bonus payment to our former CEO in connection with his transition to executive chairman, (ii) acquisition-related expenses associated with the IAN retention agreement, and (iii) non-capitalizable costs incurred in connection with our implementation of a new ERP system and a SOX compliance program.

During the first quarter of 2020, we reached a mutual settlement with the counterparty of a contract dispute and, accordingly, recorded a $1.4 million contract settlement loss to cost of sales.

(3)

During the second quarter of 2020, we announced the closure of our manufacturing facility in Union City, California, which we completed during the second quarter of 2021. Included in this amount for the second quarter of 2021 are $0.4 million in write-off costs associated with inventories determined during the quarter to be obsolete and $0.3 million in other shutdown related charges, partially offset by a $0.5 million gain realized upon the sale of equipment and other fixed assets. As of the end of the second quarter of 2021, the facility was closed and vacated, and no further charges are expected on a go-forward basis.

Included in this amount for the six months ended June 25, 2021 are $2.6 million in write-off costs associated with inventories determined during the period to be obsolete, $0.3 million in other shutdown related charges, and $0.2 million in severance costs associated with affected employees, partially offset by a $0.5 million gain realized upon the sale of equipment and other fixed assets.

Included in this amount for the three and six months ended June 26, 2020 are write-off costs associated with inventories determined during the period to be obsolete of $1.3 million and severance costs associated with affected employees of $0.2 million

 

(4)

As part of our purchase price allocation for our acquisition of a precision machining operation in Mexico in December 2020, we recorded acquired-inventory at fair value, resulting in a fair value step-up of $0.2 million. This was subsequently released to cost of sales in the first quarter of 2021 as acquired-inventory was sold.

 

(5)

Adjusts U.S. GAAP income tax expense (benefit) for impact of our non-GAAP adjustments, as defined, including the impacts of excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and other non-recurring expenses. This adjustment also excludes the impact of non-recurring discrete tax items.

Non-GAAP results have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP results differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, both of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP results as a tool for comparison.

Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures and results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results and you should not infer from our presentation of non-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We ended the second quarter of 2021 with cash of $141.7 million, a decrease of $111.2 million from December 25, 2020. The decrease during the six months ended June 25, 2021 was primarily due to purchases of marketable securities of $105.0 million, payments on long-term debt of $34.4 million, and capital expenditures of $15.4 million, partially offset by cash from operating activities of $38.9 million and net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our share-based compensation plans of $4.2 million.

We believe that our cash, the amounts available under our revolving credit facility, and our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

Operating Activities

Our cash provided by operating activities of $38.9 million during the six months ended June 25, 2021 consisted of net income of $37.5 million and net non-cash charges of $17.7 million, partially offset by an increase in our net operating assets and liabilities of $16.3 million. Net non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $11.5 million, share-based compensation of $5.1 million, and deferred taxes of $1.1 million. The increase in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in inventories and accounts receivable of $31.5 million and $18.1 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $33.3 million.

Investing Activities

Our cash used in investing activities of $119.9 million during the six months ended June 25, 2021 consisted of purchases of marketable securities of $105.0 million, capital expenditures of $15.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of equipment and other fixed assets associated with our planned closure of our Union City, California facility of $0.5 million.

Financing Activities

Our cash used in financing activities of $30.2 million during the six months ended June 25, 2021 consisted of payments on long-term debt of $34.4 million, of which $30.0 million was a paydown on our revolving credit facility, partially offset by net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our share-based compensation plans of $4.2 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

The critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are identified and described in our annual consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 25, 2020 (our “Annual Report”).

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Currently, substantially all of our sales and arrangements with third-party suppliers provide for pricing and payment in U.S. dollars and, therefore, are not subject to material exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, we do not expect foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to have a material effect on our results of operations. However, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies would make our products more expensive relative to competing products priced in such other currencies, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could result in our foreign suppliers raising their prices in order to continue doing business with us.

While not currently significant, we do have certain operating expenses that are denominated in currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, and may be subject to fluctuations due to foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Singapore dollar, Malaysian ringgit, British pound, euro, and South Korean won. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statement of operations. To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our financial statements, and we have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging transactions.

Interest Rate Risk

We had total indebtedness of $167.9 million as of June 25, 2021, exclusive of $1.5 million in debt issuance costs, of which $8.8 million was due within 12 months. The outstanding amount of debt included elsewhere in this report is net of debt issuance costs.

We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. We have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. The interest rate on our outstanding debt is based on LIBOR, the Prime Rate, or the Federal Funds Rate. A hypothetical 1% interest rate change on our outstanding debt would have resulted in a $0.4 million change to interest expense during the second quarter of 2021, or $1.7 million on an annualized basis.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a‑15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 25, 2021.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we cannot provide reliable financial information, our business, operating results, and share price could be negatively impacted.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period covered under this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

We are currently not a party to any material pending or threatened litigation.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in our 2020 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from the risk factors disclosed in that report. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face – our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
