NXP SEMICONDUCTORS N.V.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

All amounts in millions of $ unless otherwise stated

1 Basis of Presentation and Overview

We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

2 Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Significant Accounting Policies

For a discussion of our significant accounting policies see, “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – “Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Accounting standards recently adopted

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. ASU 2022-04, which require that a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2022-04 became effective for us on January 1, 2023. We have assessed our current positions and the interrelation to the amendments and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

No other new accounting pronouncements were issued or became effective in the period that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

3 Acquisitions and Divestments

2023

There were no material acquisitions or divestments during the first six months of 2023.

2022

The following table presents the changes in restructuring liabilities in 2023:


	As of January 1, 2023	Additions	Utilized	Released	Other changes	As of July 2, 2023
Restructuring liabilities	20	21	(5)	(3)	(2)	31

The total restructuring liability as of July 2, 2023 of $31 million is classified in the consolidated balance sheet under current liabilities ($23 million) and non-current liabilities ($8 million).

The restructuring charges for the six month period ending July 2, 2023 consist of $21 million for personnel related costs for a new restructuring program, offset by a $3 million release for an earlier program. There were no significant restructuring costs incurred for the six month period ended July 3, 2022 and the utilization of the restructuring liabilities mainly reflects the execution of ongoing restructuring programs the Company initiated in earlier years.

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

6 Income Tax


	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
	July 2, 2023		July 3, 2022		July 2, 2023		July 3, 2022
Benefit (provision) for income taxes	(158)		(129)		(276)		(243)
Effective tax rate	18.3	%	15.8	%	17.2	%	15.4	%
Statutory income tax rate in the Netherlands	25.8	%	25.8	%	25.8	%	25.8	%

Beginning with the first quarter of 2023, NXP was in a position to make a reliable estimate of its annual effective tax rate. This estimated annual effective tax rate ("EAETR") is then applied to the year-to-date Income (loss) before income taxes excluding discrete items, to determine the year-to-date benefit (provision) for income taxes. The income tax effects of any discrete items are recognized in the interim period in which they occur. As the year progresses, the Company continually refines the EAETR based upon actual events and the apportionment of our earnings (loss). This continual estimation process periodically may result in a change to our EAETR for the year. When this occurs, we adjust on an accumulated basis the benefit (provision) for income taxes during the quarter in which the change occurs.

Our provision for income taxes for 2023 is based on our EAETR of 17.0%, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8%, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.

The effective tax rate of 18.3% for the second quarter of 2023 was higher than the EAETR due to the income tax expense for discrete items of $12 million. The discrete items are primarily related to changes in estimates for previous years and the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items.

For the first six months of 2023 the effective tax rate of 17.2% was higher than 17.0% due to the net result of unfavorable discrete items of $3 million.

The effective tax rate of 15.4% for the first six months of 2022 was lower compared to the current period of 17.2% due to higher foreign tax incentives as a result of an increase in qualifying investments and also due to a different mix of the benefit (provision) for income taxes in the locations that we operate in.

7 Identified Intangible Assets

Identified intangible assets as of July 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were composed of the following:


	July 2, 2023		December 31, 2022

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 2, 2023	December 31, 2022
Assets:
Money market funds	1	2,928	2,817
Marketable equity securities	1	16	9
Derivative instruments-assets	2	3	8

Liabilities:



Derivative instruments-liabilities	2	(15)	(6)

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 2, 2023, the estimated fair value of current and non-current debt was $9.9 billion ($9.8 billion as of December 31, 2022). 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 2, 2023, the Company had purchase commitments of $3.8 billion, 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.

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 $102 million accrued for potential and current legal proceedings pending as of July 2, 2023, compared to $58 million accrued at December 31, 2022 (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements). The accruals are included in “Other current liabilities” and in “Other non-current liabilities”. As of July 2, 2023, the Company’s related balance of insurance reimbursements was $67 million (December 31, 2022: $43 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 2, 2023, 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 $108 million. Based upon our past experience with these matters, the Company would expect to receive additional insurance reimbursement of up to $70 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.

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 2023, our cash balance was $3,863 million, an increase of $18 million compared to December 31, 2022. Taking into account the available amount of the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility of $2,500 million, we had access to $6,363 million of liquidity as of July 2, 2023. 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 of $2.5 billion, 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.


($ in millions, unless otherwise stated)	YTD 2023	YTD 2022
Cash from operations	1,388	1,675
Capital expenditures	452	548
Cash to shareholders	796	925

Cash and cash equivalents

At July 2, 2023, our cash balance was $3,863 million of which $223 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.

Capital expenditures

Our cash outflows for capital expenditures were $452 million in the first six months of 2023, compared to $548 million in the first six months of 2022.

Capital return

Under our Quarterly Dividend Program, interim dividends of $0.845 per ordinary share were paid on January 6, 2023 ($219 million) and dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on April 5, 2023 ($264 million).

Outstanding indebtedness

Our total debt amounted to $11,170 million as of Q2 2023, an increase of $5 million compared to December 31, 2022 ($11,165 million), with net debt amounting to $7,307 million.

Cash flows

Our cash and cash equivalents during the first six months of 2023 increased by $19 million (excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash position of $(1) million) as follows:


($ in millions, unless otherwise stated)	YTD 2023	YTD 2022
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities	1,388	1,675
Net cash (used for) provided by investing activities	(606)	(617)
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities	(763)	(332)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	19	726

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

For the first six months of 2023 our operating activities provided $1,388 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $1,327 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $630 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(575) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) includes offsetting non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $564 million, share-based compensation of $201 million and changes in deferred taxes of $(137) million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $325 million increase in inventories due to improved supply capabilities, $158 million increase in receivables and other current assets due to customer mix, and $92 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities as a result of timing related to payments.

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. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $273 million increase in inventories due to increased production levels in order to align inventory on hand with expected demand, $111 million increase in receivables and other current assets due to the linearity of revenue between the two periods, customer mix, and the related timing of cash collection, $288 million increase in other non-current assets from prepayments to secure long-term production supply with multiple vendors; partially offset by $270 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities as a result of timing related to payments.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $606 million for the first six months of 2023 and principally consisted of the cash outflows for capital expenditures of $452 million, $93 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets, and $62 million for the purchase of investments.

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.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities was $763 million for the first six months of 2023 was primarily driven by the dividend payment to common stockholders of $483 million, and purchase of treasury shares and restricted stock unit holdings of $313 million; partially offset by the $34 million proceeds from the issuance of common stock through stock plans.

Net cash used for financing activities was $332 million for the first six months of 2022 was primarily driven by the repurchase of long-term debt of $917 million, purchase of treasury shares and restricted stock unit holdings of $554 million, dividend payment to common stockholders of $371 million; partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $1,496 million.

Additional Capital Requirements

Expected working and other capital requirements are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. At July 2, 2023, other than for changes disclosed in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Quarterly Report, there have been no other material changes to our expected working and other capital requirements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

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.
