Benefit/provision for income taxes:
For the three months endedFor the six months ended
July 3, 2022July 4, 2021July 3, 2022July 4, 2021
Tax expense (benefit)129 65 243 105 
Effective tax rate15.8 %13.7 %15.4 %12.0 %

Our provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2022 was $243 million (15.4% effective tax rate) compared to a provision from income taxes of $105 million (12.0% effective tax rate) for the first six months of 2021. The increase in the income tax expense was due to higher income before income taxes as a result of the improved operational performance of the company which was partly offset by an increase in tax incentives also taking into account the effect of specific US tax law that became effective as from 2022. In addition to this, in the first six months of 2021 there were income tax benefits due to changes in estimates of prior positions and a net change in the valuation allowance.

The Company benefits from income tax incentives in certain jurisdictions which provide that we pay reduced income taxes in those jurisdictions for a fixed period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction. The predominant income tax holiday is expected to expire at the end of 2026. The impact of this tax holiday decreased foreign income taxes for the second quarter of 2022 by $4 million and decreased by $3 million for the second quarter 2021 (YTD 2022: a decrease of $7 million and YTD 2021: a decrease of $7 million). The benefit of this tax holiday on net income per share (diluted) was $0.02 for the second quarter of 2022 (YTD 2022: $0.03) and $0.02 for the second quarter of 2021 (YTD 2021: $0.03).

10 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
hierarchy
July 3, 2022December 31, 2021
Assets:
Money market funds12,554 2,111 
Marketable equity securities110 18 
Derivative instruments-assets21 
Liabilities:
Derivative instruments-liabilities2(26)(3)

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 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 July 3, 2022, the estimated fair value of current and non-current debt was $10.2 billion ($11.3 billion as of December 31, 2021). The fair value is estimated on the basis of broker-dealer quotes, which are Level 2 inputs. Accrued interest is included under accrued liabilities and not within the carrying amount or estimated fair value of debt.

11 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 July 3, 2022, the Company had purchase commitments of $3,885 million, which are due through 2044. Our long-term obligations increased substantially in 2021 as we locked in long-term supply with our key manufacturing partners.

Litigation
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.




12


Based on the most current information available to it and based on its best estimate, the Company also 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 procedures described above, the Company has an aggregate amount of $61 million accrued for potential and current legal proceedings pending as of July 3, 2022, compared to $65 million accrued at December 31, 2021 (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements). The accruals are included in “Other non-current liabilities”. As of July 3, 2022, the Company’s related balance of insurance reimbursements was $43 million (December 31, 2021: $46 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 July 3, 2022, 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 $72 million. Based upon our past experience with these matters, the Company would expect to receive additional insurance reimbursement of up to $89 million on certain of these claims that would partially offset the potential aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued.

In addition, 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 in 22 individuals. 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.

Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021
Revenue for the three months ended July 3, 2022 was $3,312 million compared to $2,596 million for the three months ended July 4, 2021, an increase of $716 million or an increase of 27.6% year-on-year. Revenue growth during the quarter was due to increased volumes of products shipped driven by the continued industry-wide demand for semiconductors across the company’s focused end markets, and the positive mix effects within the company’s focused end markets. Additionally, the company continued to experience the inflationary effects of increased input costs from its suppliers which were passed along to end customers in the form of higher average selling prices.

Our gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 2022 increased from 54.8% in the second quarter of 2021 to 56.8%, primarily from the continued significant acceleration of revenue in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, which led to improved factory loading, increased manufacturing volumes, and higher sales prices, which were mostly offset by higher input costs.

We continue to generate strong operating cash flows, with $819 million in cash flows from operations for the second quarter of 2022. We returned $224 million to our shareholders during the second quarter of 2022. Our cash position at the end of the second quarter of 2022 was $3,545 million. This includes the net proceeds of the $1.5 billion of senior unsecured debt issued by NXP on May 16, 2022.

YTD 2022 compared to YTD 2021
Revenue for the six months ended July 3, 2022 was $6,448 million compared to $5,163 million for the six months ended July 4, 2021, an increase of $1,285 million or an increase of 24.9% year-on-year. The increase within the first half 2022 is attributed to strong demand, across all of the end markets.

Our gross profit percentage for the six months ended July 3, 2022 increased from 53.8% for the six months ended July 4, 2021 to 56.7%, primarily from the continued significant acceleration of revenue in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, which led to improved factory loading, increased manufacturing volumes, and higher sales prices, which were mostly offset by higher input costs.

Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021
The increase in revenue is attributed to the combination of ongoing demand, across NXP’s Automotive, Industrial IoT, Mobile, and the Communications Infrastructure & Other end markets, as well as the effects of increased input costs from NXP suppliers which were passed along to our end customers in the form of higher average selling prices.

From an end market perspective, the year-on-year growth within the Automotive end market was driven by strong demand across the entire automotive product portfolio in support of the secular shift of electrification, advanced driver safety and assistance, and driver connectivity systems. The growth within the Industrial & IoT market reflects the continued adoption of our complete secure, connected edge processing solutions which leverage our broad processor portfolio, complimented by connectivity, analog attach and security products. The growth within the Mobile end market was due to ongoing adoption of our secure embed transaction solutions along with the company’s growth in our advanced analog high speed interfaces. The growth within the Communication Infrastructure & Other end market was attributable to cellular base stations, the network edge equipment, and the secure access, transit and government sponsored identification market.

When aggregating all end markets together, and reviewing sales channel performance, business transacted through NXP's third party distribution partners was $1,829 million, an increase of 20.5%. Sales to NXP's direct OEM and EMS customers was $1,441 million, an
16


increase of 38.6% versus the second quarter of 2021.

From a geographic perspective, revenue increased across all regions.

Revenue from the Automotive end market was $1,713 million, an increase of $451 million or 35.7% year-on-year. Within Automotive, customers are focused on the key functional pillars of safety, electrification and improved driver comfort to accelerate competitive differentiation. These broad functional areas are fundamentally enabled by the secular adoption of new and increased levels of semiconductor content, which is layered on top of a strong base of existing electronic content in modern automobiles. The increase in Automotive revenue during the second quarter of 2022 can be attributed to strong demand for advanced analog, embedded processing and radar solutions.

Revenue from the Industrial & IoT end market was $713 million, an increase of $142 million or 24.9% year-on-year. The Industrial & IoT market is driven by the secular trend of multi-market OEMs seeking to enable secure, connected, high performance processing solutions at the edge of the network, whether it is in factory automation, smart building/smart home or the exploding plethora of connected IoT devices. The innovation in this market is being driven by thousands of relatively smaller customers, which NXP effectively services through its extended global distribution channel. During the second quarter of 2022, the year-on-year increase was driven by the continued demand for the company’s 32-bit ARM-based microcontrollers and crossover processors, and to a lesser degree industrial application processors. Additionally, the year-on-year increase was supported by demand for industrial analog products, and point-of-sale security solutions.

Revenue from the Mobile end market was $388 million with an increase of $41 million or 11.8% year-on-year. The year-on-year increase was driven by strong adoption of secure mobile wallet solutions and increased demand in our advanced analog high speed interfaces, which was offset by declines in advanced power systems driven by load switch demand decline. Our mobile customers are primarily serviced through our global distribution channels.

Revenue in the Communication Infrastructure & Other end market was $498 million, an increase of $82 million or 19.7% year-on-year. The Communication Infrastructure & Other end market is an amalgamation of three separate product portfolios, which service multiple end markets, including cellular base stations; the network edge equipment, and the secure access, transit and government sponsored identification market. The year-on-year growth in the second quarter of 2022 was driven by a combination of high performance RF Power amplifier products for cellular base-station applications, network edge equipment, and broad based demand for secure access and identification solutions. Offsetting these positive growth trends were declines in demand for the company’s smart antennae products used in the Android mobile handset market, as well as declines in demand for wireless access point solutions.

YTD 2022 compared to YTD 2021
The increase in revenue is primarily attributed to the combination of strong demand, from NXP’s Automotive, Industrial IoT, and the Communications Infrastructure & Other end markets, and to a lesser degree the Mobile end market. The year-to-date growth rates are also influenced by higher average pricing, which were the result of rising inflationary effects on input costs from NXP suppliers, and passed along to our end customers.

From an end market perspective, within the automotive end market the year-on-year growth was driven by strong demand for advanced analog, embedded processing and radar in support of the secular shift of electrification, advanced driver safety and assistance, and driver connectivity systems. The growth within the Industrial & IoT market reflects the successful continuation of adoption of our complete secure, connected edge processing solutions which leverage our broad processor portfolio, complimented by analog attach, connectivity, and security products. Growth within the Mobile end market was due to ongoing adoption of our secure embed transaction solutions along with the company’s growth in our advanced analog high speed interfaces. Growth within the Communication Infrastructure & Other end market was attributable to cellular base stations, the network edge equipment, and the secure access, transit and government sponsored identification market.

When aggregating all end markets together, and reviewing sales channel performance, business transacted through direct OEM and EMS customers was $2,853 million, an increase of 35.6% versus the first half of 2021. NXP's third party distribution partners was $3,509 million, an increase of 17.5%.

From a geographic perspective, revenue increased across all regions.

Revenue in the Automotive end market was $3,270 million, an increase of $779 million or 31.3% versus the year ago period due to the ongoing demand for our automotive products supporting the secular shift of electrification, advanced driver safety and assistance, and driver connectivity systems.

Revenue in the Industrial & IoT end market was $1,395 million, an increase of $253 million or 22.2% versus the year ago period primarily driven by the continued demand for the company’s 32-bit ARM-based microcontrollers and crossover processors, and to a lesser degree industrial application processors. Additionally, the year-on-year increase was supported by demand for industrial analog products, IoT connectivity and point-of-sale security solutions.

Revenue in the Mobile end market was $789 million, an increase of $96 million or 13.9% versus the year ago period due to strong adoption of secure mobile wallet solutions, and demand for our advanced analog high speed interfaces, offset by declines in embedded power solutions.

17


Revenue in the Communication Infrastructure & Other end market was $994 million, an increase of $157 million or 18.8% versus the year ago period due to a combination of strength from RF Power products levered to the secular build-out of 5G base stations, network edge equipment, and broad based demand for secure access and identification solutions. Offsetting these positive growth trends were declines in demand for the company’s smart antennae products used in the Android mobile handset market, as well as declines in demand for wireless access point solutions.

Gross profit
Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021
Gross profit for the three months ended July 3, 2022 was $1,882 million, or 56.8% of revenue, compared to $1,422 million, or 54.8% of revenue for the three months ended July 4, 2021.The increase of $460 million in gross profit was driven by the significant higher revenue in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, which led to improved factory loading, increased manufacturing volumes, and higher sales prices, which were mostly offset by higher input costs.

YTD 2022 compared to YTD 2021
Gross profit for the six months ended July 3, 2022 was $3,659 million, or 56.7% of revenue, compared to $2,777 million, or 53.8% of revenue for the six months ended July 4, 2021. The increase of $882 million was primarily driven by the significant higher revenue in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021, which led to improved factory loading, increased manufacturing volumes, and higher sales prices, which were mostly offset by higher input costs.

Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021
The increase in operating expenses was a result of the following items:

Research and development (R&D) costs primarily consist of engineer salaries and wages (including share based compensation and other variable compensation), engineering related costs (including outside services, fixed-asset, IP and other licenses related costs), shared service center costs and other pre-production related expenses. R&D costs for the three months ended July 3, 2022 increased by $66 million, or 13.9%, when compared to the three months ended July 4, 2021 mainly driven by:
+ higher personnel-related costs, including variable compensation costs;

+ higher professional services.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs primarily consist of personnel salaries and wages (including share based compensation and other variable compensation), communication and IT related costs, fixed-asset related costs and sales and marketing costs (including travel expenses). SG&A costs for the three months ended July 3, 2022 increased by $31 million, or 13.2%, when compared to the three months ended July 4, 2021 mainly due to:
+ higher legal expense; and
+ higher professional services.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets decreased by $5 million, or 3.6%, when compared to the three months ended July 4, 2021 driven by:
- certain intangibles became fully amortized during 2021.

Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021
Financial income (expense) was an expense of $128 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to an expense of $100 million in the second quarter of 2021. The change in financial income (expense) is primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense as a result of the net increase in debt, and debt extinguishment costs incurred in the second quarter of 2022. Higher interest rates resulted in an interest income increase in the second quarter of 2022.

YTD 2022 compared to YTD 2021
Financial income (expense) was an expense of $233 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to an expense of $187 million in the first six months of 2021. The change in financial income (expense) is primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense as a result of the net increase in debt, and debt extinguishment costs incurred in the second quarter of 2022. Higher interest rates resulted in an interest income increase in the second quarter of 2022.

Benefit (provision) for income taxes

Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021
Our provision for income taxes was $129 million (15.8% effective tax rate) for the second quarter of 2022 compared to a provision for income taxes of $65 million (13.7% effective tax rate) for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in the income tax expense was due to higher income before income taxes as a result of the improved operational performance of the company, which was partly offset by an increase in tax incentives also taking into account the effect of specific US tax law that became effective as from 2022. In addition to this, in the second quarter of 2021 there was an income tax benefit due to a release of the valuation allowance and a lower taxable foreign exchange result.

YTD 2022 compared to YTD 2021
Our provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2022 was $243 million (15.4% effective tax rate) compared to a provision for income taxes of $105 million) (12.0% effective tax rate) for the first six months of 2021. The increase in the income tax expense was due to higher income before income taxes as a result of the improved operational performance of the company which was partly offset by an increase in tax incentives also taking into account the effect of specific US tax law that became effective as from 2022. In addition to this, in the first six months of 2021 there were income tax benefits due to changes in estimates of prior positions and a net change in the valuation allowance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We derive our liquidity and capital resources primarily from our cash flows from operations. We continue to generate strong positive operating cash flows. At the end of the second quarter of 2022, our cash balance was $3,545 million, an increase of $715 million compared to December 31, 2021. Taking into account the available amount of the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility of $1,500 million, we had access to $5,045 million of liquidity as of July 3, 2022.

We currently use cash to fund operations, meet working capital requirements, for capital expenditures and for potential common stock repurchases, dividends and strategic investments. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our current available sources of funds (including cash and cash equivalents, RCF Agreement, plus anticipated cash generated from operations) will be adequate to finance our operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential dividends for at least the next twelve months. Our capital expenditures were $548 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $300 million in the first six months of 2021. During the six month period ended July 3, 2022, we repurchased $554 million, or 2.7 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our share buyback programs at a weighted average price of $207.77 per share.

Our total debt amounted to $11,160 million as of Q2 2022, an increase of $588 million compared to December 31, 2021 ($10,572 million). On May 16, 2022, NXP issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.400% Senior Notes due in 2027 (the “4.400% 2027 Notes”) and $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due in 2033 (the “2033 Notes”). The net proceeds of the 4.400% 2027 Notes, together with cash on hand, has been used to redeem the $900 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding dollar-denominated 4.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2023 in accordance with the terms of the indenture. NXP will allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds of the offering of the 2033 Notes to the financing of, in whole or in part, one or more eligible green projects. Pending allocation, NXP will temporarily hold the remaining net proceeds of the 2033 Notes as cash and other short-term securities or use for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, short-term debt repayment or equity buyback transactions.

On April 14, 2022, the registration statements on Form S-4 filed by the Issuers were declared effective by the SEC, registering the Exchange Offers. The Exchange Offers expired on May 16, 2022. Any outstanding Notes that were not tendered for exchange in the Exchange Offers remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and are entitled to the rights and benefits that such holders have under the indentures related to such outstanding Notes, except for any rights under the applicable registration rights agreement which terminated upon consummation of the Exchange Offers. This exchange had no impact on our financial position, result of operations or cash flows.

At July 3, 2022, our cash balance was $3,545 million of which $193 million was held by SSMC, our consolidated joint venture company with TSMC. Under the terms of our joint venture agreement with TSMC, a portion of this cash can be distributed by way of a dividend to us, but 38.8% of the dividend will be paid to our joint venture partner.

Cash flows

Our cash and cash equivalents during the first six months of 2022 increased by $726 million as follows:

Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities1,675 1,368 
Net cash (used for) provided by investing activities(617)(370)
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities(332)(360)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents726 638 

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the first six months of 2022 our operating activities provided $1,675 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $1,349 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $723 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(402) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) includes offsetting non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $627 million, share-based compensation of $178 million and changes in deferred taxes of $(98) million.

The change in operating assets and liabilities was attributable to the following:
21



The $111 million increase in receivables and other current assets for the six months ended July 3, 2022 was mainly driven by the increase in accounts receivable due to the linearity of revenue between the two periods, customer mix, and the related timing of cash collections in the first six months of 2022 compared with the same period in 2021.

The $273 million increase in inventories for the six months ended July 3, 2022 was primarily related to increased production levels as we work to align inventory on hand with the current revenue forecasts.

The $270 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities for the six months ended July 3, 2022 was primarily related to the increase of trade accounts payable of $210 million as a result of increased demand and timing, $20 million in interest payable due to timing of interest payments, $53 million in income and social tax payables, partially offset by $13 million of other net movements including the non-cash adjustment for capital expenditures and purchased IP.

The $288 million increase in other non-current assets for the six months ended July 3, 2022 was primarily related to prepayments to secure long-term production supply with multiple vendors.

For the first six months of 2021 our operating activities provided $1,368 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $770 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $851 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(252) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) includes offsetting non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $646 million, share-based compensation of $184 million and changes in deferred taxes of $12 million.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $617 million for the first six months of 2022 and principally consisted of the cash outflows for capital expenditures of $548 million, $72 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets and $5 million for the purchase of equipment leased to others.

Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $370 million for the first six months of 2021 and principally consisted of the cash outflows for capital expenditures of $300 million and $72 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets, partly offset by net proceeds of $2 million related to sales and purchases of investments.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $332 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $360 million for the first six months of 2021, detailed in the table below:

Information Regarding Guarantors of NXP (unaudited)

Summarized Combined Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries
All debt instruments are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, by NXP Semiconductors N.V. and issued or guaranteed by NXP USA, Inc., NXP B.V. and NXP LLC, (together, the “Subsidiary Obligors” and together with NXP Semiconductors N.V., the “Obligor Group”). Other than the Subsidiary Obligors, none of the Company’s subsidiaries (together the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guarantee the Notes. The Company consolidates the Subsidiary Obligors in its consolidated financial statements and each of the Subsidiary Obligors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

All of the existing guarantees by the Company rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Obligor Group. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
The following tables present summarized financial information of the Obligor Group on a combined basis, with intercompany balances and transactions between entities of the Obligor Group eliminated and investments and equity in the earnings of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries excluded.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. is the head of a fiscal unity for the corporate income tax and VAT that contains the most significant Dutch wholly-owned group companies. The Company is therefore jointly and severally liable for the tax liabilities of the tax entity as a whole, and as such the income tax expense of the Dutch fiscal unity has been included in the Net income of the Obligor Group.

The financial information of the Obligor Group includes sales executed through a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary single-billing entity as a sales agent on behalf of an entity in the Obligor Group. The Obligor Group has sales to non-guarantors (for the six months ended July 3, 2022: $365 million). The Obligor Group has amounts due from equity financing (July 3, 2022: $6,584 million; December 31, 2021: $5,167 million) and due to debt financing (July 3, 2022: $3,287 million; December 31, 2021: $3,053 million) with non-guarantor subsidiaries.


Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the first six months of 2022. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.


Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Certifying Officers), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) on July 3, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Ongoing Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness

As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we are implementing measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the previously disclosed material weakness are remediated,
23


such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. These remediation actions are ongoing, whereas we have expanded our controls or control designs based on updated enhanced risk assessments, put in place policies and implemented training programs, expanded our team and enhanced our reporting. The remediation actions, including those listed above, remain in process where further modifications are necessary to address the material weakness. We expect these changes to materially improve our internal controls.

The weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Management believes the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2022. However, there is no assurance as to when such remediation will be completed.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As noted above, the Company has been implementing measures to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Other than the remediation efforts underway, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended July 3, 2022, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

Our global business operations expose us to international business risks that could adversely affect our business

If any of the following international business risks were to materialize or become worse, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations:

negative economic developments in economies around the world and the instability of governments and international trade arrangements, such as the increase of barriers to international trade including the imposition of tariffs on imports by the United States and China, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, enhanced export controls on certain products and sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and the sovereign debt crisis in certain European countries;
social and political instability in a number of countries around the world, including continued hostilities and civil unrest in the Middle East and the Ukraine. The instability may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and operations via our customers and global supply chain and volatility in energy prices and the financial markets;
potential terrorist attacks;
epidemics and pandemics, such as the coronavirus outbreak, which may adversely affect our workforce, as well as our suppliers and customers;
adverse changes in government policies, especially those affecting trade and investment;
volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, in particular with respect to the U.S. dollar, and transfer restrictions, in particular in China; and
threats that our operations or property could be subject to nationalization and expropriation.

In addition, Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine has led to sanctions, export controls and other penalties being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, and the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets. Any Russian response could also disrupt commercial and financial transactions. Further, conflict between Ukraine and Russia could adversely impact the global supply chain, disrupt our operations, or negatively impact the demand for our products in our primary end markets. Any such disruption could result in an adverse impact to our financial results.

For a description of other applicable risk factors, please refer to Part I, Item 1A: “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
