NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Semtech Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company" or "Semtech") is a global supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms. The end customers for the Company’s products are primarily original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") that produce and sell electronics.
The Company designs, develops and markets a wide range of products for commercial applications, the majority of which are sold into the enterprise computing, communications, high-end consumer and industrial end-markets.
Enterprise Computing: datacenters, passive optical networks, desktops, notebooks, servers, monitors, printers and other computer peripherals.
Communications: base stations, optical networks, carrier networks, switches and routers, cable modems, wireless local area network ("LAN") and other communication infrastructure equipment.
High-End Consumer: handheld products, smartphones, wireless charging, set-top boxes, digital televisions, monitors and displays, tablets, wearables, digital video recorders and other consumer equipment.
Industrial: analog and digital video broadcast equipment, video-over-IP solutions, automated meter reading, Internet of Things ("IoT"), smart grid, wireless charging, military and aerospace, medical, security systems, automotive, industrial and home automation and other industrial equipment.
Fiscal Year
The Company reports results on the basis of 52 and 53 week periods and ends its fiscal year on the last Sunday in January. The other quarters generally end on the last Sunday of April, July and October. All quarters consist of 13 weeks except for one 14-week period in the fourth quarter of 53-week years. The second quarters of fiscal years 2020 and 2019 each consisted of 13 weeks.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 27, 2019 ("Annual Report"). In the opinion of the Company, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report. The results reported in these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year.
The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income are referred to herein as the "Statements of Income." The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are referred to herein as the "Balance Sheets" and interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as the "Statements of Cash Flows."
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Acquisitions
On May 2, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of IC Interconnect, Inc. (“ICI”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.4 million. The addition of ICI is aimed at further enhancing the Company’s U.S. research and development capabilities for its next-generation Z-PakTM platform. $4.9 million was attributed to goodwill (see Note 7) and $2.5 million was attributed to the estimated fair values of the tangible net assets acquired. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Net revenues, earnings, and pro forma results of operations have not been presented because they are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Settlements
On August 1, 2018, the Company announced the settlement of a lawsuit filed against HiLight Semiconductor Limited and related individual defendants in accordance with which the Company was paid approximately $9.0 million to cover damages for claims, costs and attorneys' fees. The Company recorded gains of $6.7 million and $1.3 million in the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2019, respectively, and $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 for recoveries related to this settlement. All recoveries were presented in "Selling, general and administrative" ("SG&A") in the Statements of Income in the respective periods in which the cash was received.
Recent Accounting Standards Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
In July 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance on the accounting for leases. The guidance provides companies with another transition method by allowing entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the date of adoption. Under this method, financial information related to periods prior to adoption will be as originally reported under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, Leases. Upon adoption as of January 28, 2019, the Company recorded ROU assets of $13.0 million and lease liabilities of $13.8 million. There was no other impact from the adoption. The difference between the ROU assets and lease liabilities primarily represents the existing deferred rent liabilities balance, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases, which was reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurement of the ROU assets. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s shareholder's equity and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results from operations and cash flows.
The new standard provides several optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected a transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company elected the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of ROU assets.
The Company also made accounting policy elections, including a short-term lease exception policy, permitting it to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less), and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for equipment leases.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), which gives entities the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) related to items in AOCI that the FASB refers to as having been stranded in AOCI. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Act is recognized in the period of adoption. The Company must adopt this guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance, including the period the Tax Act was enacted. The guidance, when adopted, requires new disclosures regarding a company’s accounting policy for releasing the tax effects in AOCI and provides the Company the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the Tax Act that are stranded in AOCI. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The new standard is designed to refine and expand hedge accounting for both financial (e.g., interest rate) and commodity risks. Its provisions create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes. It also makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Warrant
On October 5, 2016, the Company issued a warrant (the "Warrant") to Comcast Cable Communications Management LLC ("Comcast") to purchase up to 1,086,957 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the common stock of Semtech Corporation. The Warrant was issued by the Company to Comcast in connection with an agreement between the parties regarding the intended trial deployment by Comcast of a low-power wide-area network in the U.S., based on the Company’s LoRa® devices and wireless radio frequency technology. The Warrant was accounted for as equity and the cost was recognized as an offset to net sales over the respective performance period. The Warrant consisted of five performance tranches. The cost associated with each tranche had been recognized based on the fair value at each reporting date until vesting, which was the measurement date. On April 27, 2018, the Company accelerated the vesting of the remaining 586,956 unvested shares from the Warrant ("Acceleration Event"), resulting in the full recognition of the remaining costs to be recognized for the Warrant. For the six-month period ended July 29, 2018, the revenue offset reflects the cost associated with the Warrant of $21.5 million, including $15.9 million related to the Acceleration Event. As of January 27, 2019, the Warrant was fully-vested and exercisable for a total of 869,565 shares, with no additional costs to be recognized in future periods. The Warrant was fully exercised and no longer outstanding as of March 15, 2019.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units to select employees. These awards have a performance condition in addition to a service condition. The performance-based restricted stock units are valued as of the measurement date and expense is recognized on a straight line basis for the awards expected to vest based on the probability of attainment of the performance condition for each separately vesting portion of the award.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company granted 106,000 performance-based restricted stock units that have a pre-defined market condition and a service condition that are accounted for as equity awards. The market condition is determined based upon the Company’s total stockholder return ("TSR") benchmarked against the TSR of the S&P SPDR Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:XSD) over a one, two and three year period (one-third of the awards vesting each performance period). The fiscal year 2020 award recipients must be employed for the entire performance period and be an active employee at the time of vesting of the awards. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the grant-date fair value for these awards, which takes into consideration the possible outcomes pertaining to the TSR market condition. The grant-date fair value per unit of the awards granted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 for each one, two and three year performance periods was $55.82, $59.36 and $61.45, respectively.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company granted to the CEO, 160,000 performance-based restricted stock units that have a pre-defined market condition and a service condition that are accounted for as equity awards. The market condition is determined based upon the Company’s TSR benchmarked against the TSR of the S&P SPDR Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:XSD) over a one, two, three and four year period (one-fourth of the awards vesting each performance period). The CEO must be employed for the entire performance period and be an active employee at the time of vesting of the awards. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the grant-date fair value for these awards, which takes into consideration the possible outcomes pertaining to the TSR market condition. The grant-date fair value per unit of the awards granted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 for each one, two, three and four year performance periods was $55.82, $59.36, $61.45 and $62.98, respectively.
Market Performance Restricted Stock Units
On March 5, 2019, the Company granted its CEO 320,000 restricted stock units with a market performance condition. The award is eligible to vest during the period commencing March 5, 2019, and ending March 5, 2024 (the "Performance Period") as follows: 30% of the restricted stock units covered by the award will vest if, during any consecutive 30 trading day period that commences and ends during the Performance Period, the average per-share closing price of the Company’s common stock equals
or exceeds $71.00 ("Tranche 1") and the remaining 70% of the restricted stock units covered by the award will vest if, during any consecutive 30 trading day period that commences and ends during the Performance Period, the average per-share closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $95.00 ("Tranche 2").
The award will also vest if a majority change in control of the Company occurs during the Performance Period and, in connection with such event, the Company’s stockholders become entitled to receive per-share consideration equal to or in excess of the per-share performance targets. Specifically, if stockholders become entitled to receive per-share consideration equal to or in excess of $71.00, then 30% of the award will vest and become nonforfeitable. If the per share consideration is greater than $71.00, but less than $95.00, then 30% of the award and a pro-rata percentage of the remaining 70% of the award will vest and become nonforfeitable. If the per share consideration is equal to or greater than $95.00, the entire award will vest and become nonforfeitable. The grant-date fair value per unit of the awards was determined to be $44.32 and $33.19 for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2, respectively, by application of the Monte Carlo simulation model.
The following tables summarize the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of restricted stock units granted in fiscal year 2020 for both Tranche 1 and Tranche 2.

The Company's available-for-sale securities consisted of investments in convertible debt instruments issued by privately-held companies. The available-for-sale securities with maturities within one year were included in "Other current assets" and with maturities greater than one year were included in "Other assets" in the Balance Sheets. The Company's available-for-sale securities during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 included a $3.2 million convertible note that has a maturity date of December 15, 2020 and an interest rate of 12%.
Note 5: Fair Value Measurements
The following fair value hierarchy is applied for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value and prioritizes the inputs into three levels as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions, requiring significant management judgment or estimation.
Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were presented in the Balance Sheets as follows:

During the six months ended July 28, 2019, the Company had no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. As of July 28, 2019 and January 27, 2019, the Company had not elected the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities for which such an election would have been permitted.
The fair values of the foreign currency forward contracts are valued using Level 2 inputs. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued using readily available foreign currency forward and interest rate curves. The fair value of each contract is determined by comparing the contract rate to the forward rate and discounting to the present value. Contracts in a gain position are recorded in "Other current assets" in the Balance Sheets and the value of contracts in a loss position are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" in the Balance Sheets. See Note 15 for further discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments.
The convertible debt investments are valued utilizing a combination of estimates of the discounted cash flows associated with the debt and the fair value of the equity into which the debt may be converted (Level 3 inputs).
The AptoVision Earn-out liability (see Note 11) is valued utilizing estimates of annual revenue, adjusted earnings and product development targets (Level 3 inputs) through July 2020. These estimates represent inputs for which market data is not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the liability.
The Cycleo Earn-out liability (see Note 11) is valued utilizing estimates of annual revenue and operating income (Level 3 inputs) through April 2020. These estimates represent inputs for which market data is not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the liability.
The Company measures contingent earn-out liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a Monte Carlo valuation method as a valuation technique to determine the value of the earn-out liability. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are revenue projections over the earn-out period, and the probability outcome percentages assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower liability, with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earn-out obligation. Ultimately, the liabilities will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. For the Cycleo Earn-out and AptoVision Earn-out, these companies have business profiles comparable to a start-up company. Accordingly, their respective revenue projections are subject to significant revisions. This characteristic can result in volatile changes to the measurement of fair value for a given earn-out.
The Company reviews and re-assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on a recurring basis, and the updated fair value could differ materially from the previous estimates. Adjustments to the estimated fair value related to changes in all other unobservable inputs are reported in operating income.
A reconciliation of the change in the earn-out liability during the six months ended July 28, 2019 is as follows:

Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Some of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature. Such financial assets and financial liabilities include: cash and cash equivalents including money market deposits, net receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued personnel costs, and other current liabilities.
The Company’s long-term debt is not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, but is measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The fair value of the Company’s Term Loans (as defined in Note 8) was $105.9 million and $115.3 million as of July 28, 2019 and January 27, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the Company's Revolving Loans (as defined in Note 8) was $97.0 million as of both July 28, 2019 and January 27, 2019. These fair values are based on Level 2 inputs as they were derived from quoted rates from banks for transactions with similar amounts, maturities, credit ratings and payment terms, which determined that the carrying amounts of the Company's Term Loans and Revolving Loans approximate fair value.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company reduces the carrying amounts of its goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets and non-marketable equity securities to fair value when held for sale or determined to be impaired.
For the Company's investments in non-marketable equity interests, the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of its equity investments during the first six months of fiscal year 2020.

The reporting units are the same as the operating segments, which are part of a single reportable segment (see Note 13).
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. In addition to its annual review, the Company performs a test of impairment when indicators of impairment are present. As of July 28, 2019, there was no indication of impairment of the Company's goodwill balances.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances (each, a “triggering event”) would more likely than not reduce the carrying value of the asset below its fair value, calculated as the future discounted cash flows that asset is expected to generate. Management did not identify any triggering events during the six months ended July 28, 2019, that would require an interim impairment analysis.

On November 15, 2016, the Company, with certain of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, consisting of senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million (the "Term Loans") and senior secured revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the “Revolving Loans” and together with the Term Loans, the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on November 12, 2021.
The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans is subject to repayment in quarterly installments. No amortization is required with respect to the Revolving Loans. As of July 28, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants required under the Credit Facility.
Scheduled maturities of current and long-term Term Loans are as follows:

Note 9: Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the regional mix of income and the impact of finalized regulations on the U.S. transition tax.
The Company uses a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions ("UTP"). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (before the federal impact of state items) is as follows:

The Company’s policy is to include net interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the "Provision for taxes" in the Statements of Income.
Tax years prior to 2013 (the Company’s fiscal year 2014) are generally not subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") except for items involving tax attributes that have been carried forward to tax years whose statute of limitations remains open. For state returns, the Company is generally not subject to income tax examinations for calendar years prior to 2012 (the Company’s fiscal year 2013). The Company has a significant tax presence in Switzerland for which Swiss tax filings have been examined through fiscal year 2018. The Company is also subject to routine examinations by various foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with the Company's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

Note 10: Leases
The Company has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, and office equipment. Real estate leases are used to secure office space for the Company's administrative, engineering, production support and manufacturing activities. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 7 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

As of July 28, 2019, the Company has an additional operating lease, primarily for office space, that it has yet to occupy for a value of approximately $3.2 million. The operating lease will commence at the end of fiscal year 2020 with a lease term of 7 years.
Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies
In accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for its consolidated financial statements not to be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company may be unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) if the proceedings are in early stages, (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions or settlements, (iv) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved, and (v) if there are novel or unsettled legal theories presented. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any.
Because the outcomes of litigation and other legal matters are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal matters or proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. While the consequences of certain unresolved matters and proceedings are not presently determinable, and an estimate of the probable and reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued for such proceedings cannot be reasonably made, an adverse outcome from such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings in any given reporting period. However, in the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, any ultimate liability related to current outstanding claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as a whole. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.
As such, even though the Company intends to vigorously defend itself with respect to its legal matters, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims, litigation, and other legal actions that are normal to the nature of its business, including with respect to IP, contract, product liability, employment, and environmental matters. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, any ultimate liability related to current outstanding claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as a whole.
The Company’s currently pending legal matters of note are discussed below:
Environmental Matters
The Company vacated a former facility in Newbury Park, California in 2002, but continues to address groundwater and soil contamination at the site. The Company’s efforts to address site conditions have been at the direction of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”). In October 2013, an order was issued including a scope of proposed additional site work, monitoring, and proposed remediation activities. The Company has been complying with RWQCB orders and direction, and has implemented an approved remedial action plan addressing the soil, groundwater, and soil vapor at the site.
The Company has accrued liabilities where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the cost or amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on the latest determinations by the RWQCB and the most recent actions taken pursuant to the remedial action plan, the Company estimates the range of probable loss between $5.9 million and $7.5 million. To date, the Company has made $3.7 million in payments towards the remedial action plan and, as of July 28, 2019, has a remaining accrual of $2.2 million related to this matter. Given the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and the remediation activities, the Company is unable to determine a best estimate within the range of loss. Therefore, the Company has recorded the minimum amount of probable loss. These estimates could change as a result of changes in planned remedial actions, further actions from the regulatory agency, remediation technology, and other factors.
Indemnification
The Company has entered into agreements with its current and former executives and directors indemnifying them against certain liabilities incurred in connection with the performance of their duties. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain comparable indemnification obligations with respect to the Company’s current directors and employees.
Product Warranties
The Company’s general warranty policy provides for repair or replacement of defective parts. In some cases, a refund of the purchase price is offered. In certain instances, the Company has agreed to other or additional warranty terms, including indemnification provisions.
The product warranty accrual reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable liability under its product warranties. The Company accrues for known warranty issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and accrues for estimated incurred but unidentified issues based on historical experience. Historically, warranty expense and the related accrual has been immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Deferred Compensation
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain officers and key executives that allow participants to defer a portion of their compensation for future distribution at various times permitted by the plan. This plan provides for a discretionary Company match up to a defined portion of the employee's deferral, with any match subject to a vesting period.
The Company's liability for the deferred compensation plan is presented below:

The Company has purchased whole life insurance on the lives of certain current deferred compensation plan participants. This Company-owned life insurance is held in a grantor trust and is intended to cover a majority of the Company's costs of the deferred compensation plan. The cash surrender value of the Company-owned life insurance was $22.7 million and $20.4 million as of July 28, 2019 and January 27, 2019, respectively, and is included in "Other assets" in the Balance Sheets.
Earn-out Liability
Pursuant to the terms of an amended earn-out arrangement ("Cycleo Earn-out") with the former shareholders of Cycleo SAS ("Cycleo Earn-out Beneficiaries"), which the Company acquired in March 2012, as of July 28, 2019, the Company potentially may make payments totaling up to approximately $11.3 million based on the achievement of a combination of certain revenue and operating income milestones over a defined period ("Cycleo Defined Earn-out Period"). The Cycleo Defined Earn-out Period covers the period April 27, 2015 to April 26, 2020. For certain of the Cycleo Earn-out Beneficiaries, payment of the earn-out liability is contingent upon continued employment and is accounted for as post-acquisition compensation expense over the service period. The portion of the earn-out liability that is not dependent on continued employment is not considered as compensation expense. The Company has recorded a liability for the Cycleo Earn-out of $4.8 million and $4.5 million as of July 28, 2019 and January 27, 2019, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out arrangement ("AptoVision Earn-out") with the former shareholders of AptoVision, which the Company acquired in July 2017, as of July 28, 2019, the Company potentially may make payments totaling up to approximately $35.3 million based on the achievement of a combination of certain net revenue, adjusted earnings and product development targets measured from the acquisition date through July 26, 2020. The Company fully released its liability for the AptoVision Earn-out during the six months ended July 28, 2019 based on the Company's assessment of performance.

Restructuring
From time to time, the Company takes steps to realign the business to focus on high-growth areas, provide customer value and make the Company more efficient. As a result, the Company has re-aligned resources and infrastructure predominantly related to its wireless charging business, which resulted in restructuring expense of $2.0 million and $2.1 million in the three and six months ended July 28, 2019, respectively, which was included in "Selling, general and administrative" within the Statements of Income. The Company does not expect a material amount of expenses related to this restructuring in future periods.

Outside Subcontractors and Suppliers
The Company relies on a limited number of third-party subcontractors and suppliers for the production of silicon wafers, packaging and certain other tasks. Disruption or termination of supply sources or subcontractors, including due to natural disasters such as an earthquake or other causes, could delay shipments and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although there are generally alternate sources for these materials and services, qualification of the alternate sources could cause delays sufficient to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Several of the Company’s third-party subcontractors and suppliers, including third-party foundries that supply silicon wafers, are located in foreign countries, including China, Israel and Taiwan. A significant amount of the Company’s assembly and test operations are conducted by third-party contractors in China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea and the Philippines. During the three and six months ended July 28, 2019, approximately 23% and 20%, respectively, of the Company’s silicon in terms of cost of wafers was supplied by a third-party foundry in China, and approximately 14% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s silicon in terms of cost of wafers was supplied by a third-party foundry in Israel. During the three and six months ended July 29, 2018, approximately 15% and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s silicon in terms of cost of wafers was supplied by a third-party foundry in China, and approximately 16% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s silicon in terms of cost of wafers was supplied by a third-party foundry in Israel. These percentages could be higher in future periods.
For the three and six months ended July 28, 2019, authorized distributors accounted for approximately 72% and 67%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales, compared to approximately 67% for both the three and six months ended July 29, 2018. Generally, the Company does not have long-term contracts with its distributors and most can terminate their agreement with little or no notice. For the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company's two largest distributors were based in Asia.
Note 13: Segment Information
The Company’s CEO functions as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on the Company's major product lines, which represent its operating segments. The Company has three operating segments—Protection, Signal Integrity, and Wireless and Sensing—that have similar economic characteristics and have been aggregated into one reportable segment identified as the "Semiconductor Products Group."
The Company’s assets are commingled among the various operating segments and the CODM does not use asset information in making operating decisions or assessing performance. Therefore, the Company has not included asset information by segment in the segment disclosures below.

On May 24, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the expansion of the stock repurchase program by $250.0 million. As of July 28, 2019, the Company had repurchased $287.7 million in shares of its common stock under the program since inception and the remaining authorization under the program was $160.7 million. Under the program, the Company may repurchase its common stock at any time or from time to time, without prior notice, subject to market conditions and other considerations. The Company’s repurchases may be made through Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 or other trading plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or other transactions. The Company intends to fund repurchases under the program from cash on hand. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any shares under the program and may suspend or discontinue it at any time.
Note 15: Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions and principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company, on a routine basis and in the normal course of business, experiences expenses denominated in Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar ("CAD") and Great British Pound ("GBP"). Such expenses expose the Company to exchange rate fluctuations between these foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments, in the form of forward contracts, to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with adverse movements in these foreign currency exchange rates during a twelve month window. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.
The Company’s accounting treatment for these instruments is based on whether or not the instruments are designated as a hedging instrument. The Company is currently applying hedge accounting to all foreign currency derivatives and has designated these hedges as cash flow hedges.
At July 28, 2019, the Company did not have a material amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts. For the first six months of fiscal years 2020 and 2019, the impact of the foreign exchange contracts was not material.
