LSI CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

For financial reporting purposes, LSI Corporation (“LSI” or the “Company”) reports on a 13- or 14-week quarter with the year ending December 31. The second quarters of 2013 and 2012 consisted of 13 weeks each and ended on June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012, respectively. The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the interim periods presented. While the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued additional guidance regarding the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset if a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from a disallowance of a tax position. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial position. The adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations.

In February 2013, FASB issued additional guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to present the effects on net income line items of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. An entity shall provide this information either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Note 2 — Stock-Based Compensation

On May 9, 2013, the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of shares available for new awards to 20 million, of which 15 million were available for restricted stock and/or restricted stock units (“RSUs”). In addition, the period during which incentive stock options can be granted was extended to February 5, 2023, and the value of awards that can be granted in any fiscal year to a non-employee director was limited to $0.5 million.

On May 15, 2013, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was amended to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the plan to 30 million and to extend the term of the ESPP through May 14, 2023.

Stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the Company’s stock options, ESPP and RSUs by expense category was as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended      Six Months Ended

     38,018      $ 5.88         2.48       $ 66,893   
  

 

 

         

As of June 30, 2013, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, was $36.8 million and is expected to be recognized over the next 2.5 years on a weighted-average basis.

Restricted Stock Units

The cost of service-based and performance-based RSUs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based RSU expense, the Company also considers the probability that those RSUs will vest.

Service-based:

The vesting of service-based RSUs requires that the employees remain employed by the Company for a specified period of time.

The following table summarizes changes in service-based RSUs outstanding:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Compensation expense for the ESPP is calculated using the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights computed under the Black-Scholes model. Under the ESPP, rights to purchase shares are granted during the second and fourth quarters of each year. The Company issued 3.2 million and 2.8 million shares of common stock under the ESPP during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012, respectively.

Note 5 — Benefit Obligations

The Company provides retirement benefits to certain current and former U.S. employees under defined benefit pension plans, which include a management plan and a represented plan. Benefits under the management plan are based on an adjusted career-average-pay formula or a cash-balance program. Benefits under the represented plan are based on a dollar-per-month formula. Benefit accruals under the management plan were frozen in 2009. Participants in the adjusted career-average-pay program no longer earn service accruals. Participants in the cash-balance program no longer earn service accruals, but continue to earn 4% interest per year on their cash-balance accounts. There are no active participants under the represented plan.

The Company also has a non-qualified supplemental pension plan in the U.S. that principally provides benefits based on compensation in excess of amounts that can be considered under the management plan. In addition, the Company provides post-retirement life insurance coverage under a group life insurance plan for certain U.S. employees. The Company also has pension plans covering certain international employees.

(a) The fair value of money-market funds is determined using unadjusted prices in active markets. Level 1 government and agency securities consist of U.S. government securities and their fair value is determined using quoted prices in active markets.
(b) These investments are traded less frequently than Level 1 securities and are valued using inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset, such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, broker/dealer quotes and indices that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
(c) The fair value of marketable equity securities is determined using quoted prices in active markets. These amounts are included within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable securities was $42.8 million and $42.1 million, respectively.

Upon the acquisition of SandForce, Inc. (“SandForce”) in January 2012, the Company recognized a gain of $5.8 million as a result of re-measuring its pre-acquisition equity interest in SandForce to estimated fair value. There were no other non-marketable securities fair-valued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 or July 1, 2012.

Note 8 — Derivative Instruments

The Company has foreign subsidiaries that operate and sell the Company’s products in various markets around the world. As a result, the Company is exposed to changes in foreign-currency exchange rates. The Company utilizes forward contracts to manage its exposure associated with net assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows related to forecasted foreign-currency transactions. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Cash-Flow Hedges

The Company enters into forward contracts that are designated as foreign-currency cash-flow hedges of selected forecasted payments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. These forward contracts generally mature within twelve months. The Company evaluates and calculates the effectiveness of each hedge at least quarterly. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in time value are excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and are recognized in interest income and other, net. The effective portion of the forward contracts’ gain or loss is recorded in other comprehensive income and, when the hedged expense is recognized, is subsequently reclassified into earnings within the same line item in the statement of operations as the impact of the hedged transaction. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional value of outstanding forward contracts, designated as foreign-currency cash-flow hedges, was $40.9 million and $39.8 million, respectively.

Other Foreign-Currency Hedges

The Company enters into foreign-exchange forward contracts that are used to hedge certain assets or liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and that do not qualify for hedge accounting. These forward contracts generally mature within three months. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recorded immediately in earnings to offset the changes in fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional value of outstanding forward contracts, not designated as hedges under hedge accounting, was $60.0 million and $31.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized losses of $2.5 million and $3.7 million on other foreign-currency hedges, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, the Company recognized losses of $2.9 million and $1.7 million on other foreign-currency hedges, respectively. These amounts are included in interest income and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and were substantially offset by the gains on the underlying foreign-currency-denominated assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The total fair value of derivative assets and liabilities was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and in other accrued liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total fair value of derivative assets and liabilities was immaterial.

Note 10 — Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax provisions of $5.2 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and an income tax provision of $11.8 million and an income tax benefit of $37.3 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively.

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a reversal of $8.7 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $3.9 million and interest and penalties of $4.8 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

The income tax benefit for the six months ended July 1, 2012 included a tax benefit of approximately $43.2 million due to the release of valuation allowance resulting from the net deferred tax liabilities recorded as part of the SandForce purchase price allocation. The income tax benefit for the six months ended July 1, 2012 also included a reversal of $10.2 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $5.2 million and interest and penalties of $5.0 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

The Company computes its tax provision using an estimated annual tax rate. The Company excludes certain loss jurisdictions from the computation of the estimated annual rate when no benefit can be realized on those losses. Historically, the Company has sustained losses from its U.S. operations and, as a result, has maintained a full valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets. The Company recently achieved profitability in the U.S., however, management does not believe there is sufficient positive evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient future taxable income in the U.S. to realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets. Depending on future results and projected trends, it is reasonably possible that Company may determine in the foreseeable future that it is more likely than not that a significant portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets will be realized, resulting in a release of a significant portion of the valuation allowance.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $200.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, for which the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with a taxing authority may occur. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease in the next 12 months. Such changes could occur based on the normal expiration of statutes of limitations, the possible conclusion of ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world or other negotiations with tax authorities. If those events occur within the next 12 months, the Company estimates that the unrecognized tax benefits, plus accrued interest and penalties, could decrease by up to $46.8 million.

Note 11 — Related Party Transactions

A member of the Company’s board of directors is also a member of the board of directors of Seagate Technology (“Seagate”). The Company sells semiconductors used in storage product applications to Seagate for prices comparable to those charged to an unrelated third party. Revenues from sales by the Company to Seagate were $150.5 million and $304.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Revenues from sales by the Company to Seagate were $227.6 million and $434.6 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. The Company had accounts receivable from Seagate of $79.8 million and $94.0 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company has an equity interest in a joint venture, Silicon Manufacturing Partners Pte Ltd. (“SMP”), with GLOBALFOUNDRIES, a manufacturing foundry for integrated circuits. SMP operates an integrated circuit manufacturing facility in Singapore. The Company owns a 51% equity interest in this joint venture and accounts for its ownership position under the equity method of accounting. The Company is effectively precluded from unilaterally taking any significant action in the management of SMP due to GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ significant participatory rights under the joint venture agreement. Because of GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ approval rights, the Company cannot make any significant decisions regarding SMP without GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ approval, despite the 51% equity interest. In addition, the General Manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of SMP, is appointed by GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES provides day-to-day operational support to SMP.

Table of Contents

The Company purchased $10.9 million and $20.3 million of inventory from SMP during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company purchased $11.7 million and $23.9 million of inventory from SMP during the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amounts payable to SMP were $9.3 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

Note 12 — Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Matters

Purchase Commitments

The Company maintains purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials 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 June 30, 2013, the Company had purchase commitments of $388.9 million, which are due through 2016.

The Company has a take-or-pay agreement with SMP under which it has agreed to purchase 51% of the managed wafer capacity from SMP’s integrated circuit manufacturing facility, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES has agreed to purchase the remaining managed wafer capacity. SMP determines its managed wafer capacity each year based on forecasts provided by the Company and GLOBALFOUNDRIES. If the Company fails to purchase its required commitments, it will be required to pay SMP for the fixed costs associated with the unpurchased wafers. GLOBALFOUNDRIES is similarly obligated with respect to the wafers allotted to it. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon two years written notice. The agreement may also be terminated for material breach, bankruptcy or insolvency.

Standby Letters of Credit:

The Company had outstanding obligations relating to standby letters of credit of $3.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Standby letters of credit are financial guarantees provided by third parties for leases, customs, taxes and certain self-insured risks. If the guarantees are called, the Company must reimburse the provider of the guarantee. The fair value of the letters of credit approximates the contract amounts. The standby letters of credit generally renew annually.

Indemnifications

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party. These obligations arise primarily in connection with sales contracts, license agreements or agreements for the sale of assets, under which the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of warranties, representations and covenants related to such matters as title to assets sold, validity of certain intellectual property rights, non-infringement of third-party rights, and certain income tax-related matters. In each of these circumstances, payment by the Company is typically subject to the other party making a claim to and cooperating with the Company pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. This usually allows the Company to challenge the other party’s claims or, in case of breach of intellectual property representations or covenants, to control the defense or settlement of any third-party claims brought against the other party. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of activity (typically to replace or correct the products or terminate the agreement with a refund to the other party), duration and/or amounts. In some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties covering certain payments made by the Company.

Legal Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation matters and claims in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe, based on currently available facts and circumstances, that the final outcome of these matters, taken individually or as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. However, the pending unsettled lawsuits may involve complex questions of fact and law and may require the expenditure of significant funds and

Table of Contents

the diversion of other resources to defend. From time to time, the Company may enter into confidential discussions regarding the potential settlement of such lawsuits. However, there can be no assurance that any such discussions will occur or will result in a settlement. Moreover, the settlement of any pending litigation could require the Company to incur substantial costs and, in the case of the settlement of any intellectual property proceeding against the Company, may require the Company to obtain a license to a third-party’s intellectual property that could require royalty payments in the future and the Company to grant a license to certain of its intellectual property to a third party under a cross-license agreement. The results of litigation are inherently uncertain, and material adverse outcomes are possible.

The Company has not provided accruals for any legal matters in its financial statements as potential losses for such matters are not considered probable and reasonably estimable. However, because such matters are subject to many uncertainties, the ultimate outcomes are not predictable, and there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy any liabilities arising from the matters described above will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 13 — Subsequent Event

On July 24, 2013, the Company announced that its board of directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share to be paid on September 20, 2013 to stockholders of record as of September 6, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Form 10-Q, including Part 1, Item 1-“Financial Statements.”

Where more than one significant factor contributed to changes in results from year to year, we have quantified these factors throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where practicable and material to understanding the discussion.

OVERVIEW

We design, develop and market complex, high-performance storage and networking semiconductors. We offer a broad portfolio of capabilities including custom and standard product integrated circuits that are used in hard disk drives, solid state drives, high-speed communications systems, computer servers, storage systems and personal computers. We deliver our products to our customers as stand-alone integrated circuits as well as incorporated onto circuit boards that offer additional functionality. We also license our intellectual property to other entities.

On January 3, 2012, we acquired SandForce, Inc., a provider of flash storage processors for enterprise and client flash solutions and solid state drives, for total consideration of approximately $346.4 million, net of cash acquired.

We derive the majority of our revenues from sales of products for the hard disk and solid state drive, server and networking equipment end markets and our revenues depend on market demand for these types of products. We believe that these markets offer us attractive opportunities because of the growing demand to create, store, manage and move digital content efficiently. Our products are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the server, storage and networking industries. We also sell some of our products through a network of resellers and distributors. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and our revenues depend on our ability to compete successfully. We face competition not only from makers of products similar to ours, but also from competing technologies.

During the second quarter of 2013, we reported revenues of $589.6 million, compared to $659.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we reported revenues of $1,158.2 million, compared to $1,282.0 million for the six months ended July 1, 2012. For the second quarter of 2013, we reported net income of $24.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $58.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we reported net income of $43.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $133.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the six months ended July 1, 2012.

Our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million on August 1, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we repurchased 17.4 million shares for $122.3 million under this program. As of June 30, 2013, $356.3 million remained available for stock repurchases. Future purchases under the stock repurchase program are expected to be funded with available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We ended the second quarter of 2013 with cash and cash equivalents, together with short-term investments, of $673.5 million, compared to $676.0 million at the end of 2012.

On July 24, 2013, we announced that our board of directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share to be paid on September 20, 2013 to stockholders of record as of September 6, 2013. We intend to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common stock, subject to approval by our board of directors.

Table of Contents

In early 2012, our sales of semiconductors for hard disk drives benefited as the hard disk drive industry recovered from the impact of flooding that occurred in Thailand in late 2011. Sales of desktop and notebook computers have declined in the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 and we expect the year over year decline in personal computer sales to continue in the near term, affecting sales of hard disk and solid state drives and our revenues from semiconductors for hard disk and solid state drives. We also believe that global economic conditions remain soft, and are resulting in reduced spending on information technology products in general, which is also affecting our revenues.

Many of our customers for standard product controllers used in solid state drives depend on suppliers for the flash memory used in those products. We believe that demand for that type of flash memory currently exceeds available supply and our customers may not be able to obtain all of the flash memory they could use, which may be affecting our revenues from standard product controllers for solid state drives.

Our networking revenues are closely tied to capital spending by wireless telecommunications carriers who have been limiting their capital expenditures in recent quarters. Some large carriers have indicated that they may increase their expenditures later in 2013.

In light of this environment, we are working to manage our operating expenses while at the same time continuing work on products under development. We are focusing our research and development operations on products that we believe provide favorable growth opportunities for our business. We are also working to expand our sales of products in newer areas such as flash memory-based server adapter cards, where we are working directly with large, internet-based datacenter operators, in addition to our more traditional customer base of OEMs and distributors.

Revenues

   $ 589.6       $ 659.6       $ 1,158.2       $ 1,282.0   

Revenues decreased by $70.0 million, or 10.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2012. The decrease primarily reflected lower unit sales of semiconductors used in hard disk drives in 2013. Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 reflected temporarily higher unit sales of semiconductors used in hard disk drives as a result of the recovery from the Thailand flooding, which had adversely impacted the hard disk drive industry in late 2011.

Revenues decreased by $123.8 million, or 9.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2012. The decrease reflected lower unit sales of semiconductors used in hard disk drives and our older networking products in 2013. Revenues in the first six months of 2012 reflected temporarily higher unit sales of semiconductors used in hard disk drives as a result of the recovery from the Thailand flooding. These decreases were partially offset by increased unit sales from the ramping of flash memory-based storage products and a $12.9 million increase in intellectual property licensing revenues in 2013.

* Primarily the United States.

Revenues in Asia decreased by $78.7 million, or 17.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower unit sales of semiconductors used in hard disk drives in 2013 as compared to 2012, which benefited from the recovery from the flooding in Thailand. Revenues in North America increased by $3.2 million, or 2.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to higher unit sales of our flash memory-based storage products. Revenues in Europe and the Middle East increased by $5.5 million, or 13.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2012. The increase was due to higher demand across our product groups.

Revenues in Asia decreased by $118.7 million, or 13.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower unit sales of semiconductors used in hard disk drives in 2013 as compared to 2012, which benefited from the recovery from the flooding in Thailand. The decrease was partially offset by increased unit sales from the ramping of flash memory-based storage products in 2013. Revenues in North America decreased by $9.1 million, or 2.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower unit sales of our server storage connectivity products and our storage semiconductors, offset in part by increased unit sales from the ramping of flash memory-based storage products and higher intellectual property licensing revenues in 2013. Revenues in Europe and the Middle East increased by $4.0 million, or 4.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2012. The increase was due to higher demand across our product groups.

Revenues from storage products decreased by $77.5 million, or 14.5%, and by $128.1 million, or 12.5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended July 1, 2012. The decreases were attributable to lower unit sales of semiconductors used in hard disk drives in 2013. Revenues in 2012 reflected temporarily higher unit sales of semiconductors used in hard disk drives as a result of the recovery from the Thailand flooding. These decreases were partially offset by increased unit sales from the ramping of flash memory-based storage products in 2013.

Revenues from networking products increased by $5.7 million, or 5.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of the ramping of new products with existing customers. Revenues from networking products decreased by $8.7 million, or 4.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of lower unit sales of semiconductors used in our older networking products, offset in part by increases from the ramping of new products with existing customers.

Other revenues increased by $1.8 million, or 6.9%, and by $13.0 million, or 24.5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended July 1, 2012. The increases primarily resulted from higher intellectual property licensing revenues in 2013.

Various factors affect and may continue to affect our product gross margin. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in our production mix and volume of product sales, the timing of production ramps and margin structures for new products, the positions of our products in their respective life cycles, the effects of competition, the price of commodities used in our products, provisions for excess and obsolete inventories, changes in the costs charged by foundry, assembly and test subcontractors, and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues increased by 0.5% and 2.5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended July 1, 2012. The increase for each period was primarily attributable to sales of higher margin products, offset in part by decreased revenues with a similar level of fixed costs.

R&D expense increased by $0.8 million, or 0.5%, and by $2.4 million, or 0.7%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended July 1, 2012. The increase for each period was primarily attributable to higher compensation-related expense and increased spending to support our new product development projects.

SG&A expense decreased by $1.5 million, or 1.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower legal fees as a result of recent litigation settlements.

SG&A expense decreased by $2.1 million, or 1.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended July 1, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stock-based compensation expense as a result of a $4.5 million charge in 2012 related to the accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock units for certain SandForce employees. The decrease was offset in part by an increase in sales and marketing expenses to support future revenue growth.

The decreases in interest income of $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 primarily resulted from lower returns on investments in 2013 as compared to 2012.

Table of Contents

Other income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily included $6.1 million of insurance proceeds we received for covered losses from the 2011 Thailand flooding. We do not expect any further insurance recoveries related to the Thailand flooding. Other income, net, for the six months ended July 1, 2012 primarily included $6.1 million of income for services provided under the transition service agreements associated with the sale of the external storage systems business, a $5.8 million gain as a result of re-measuring our pre-acquisition equity interest in SandForce to estimated fair value and $4.7 million of insurance proceeds we received for covered losses from the 2011 Thailand flooding.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax provisions of $5.2 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and an income tax provision of $11.8 million and an income tax benefit of $37.3 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively.

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a reversal of $8.7 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $3.9 million and interest and penalties of $4.8 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

The income tax benefit for the six months ended July 1, 2012 included a tax benefit of approximately $43.2 million due to the release of valuation allowance resulting from the net deferred tax liabilities recorded as part of the SandForce purchase price allocation. The income tax benefit for the six months ended July 1, 2012 also included a reversal of $10.2 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which included previously unrecognized tax benefits of $5.2 million and interest and penalties of $5.0 million, as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions.

We compute our tax provision using an estimated annual tax rate. We exclude certain loss jurisdictions from the computation of the estimated annual rate when no benefit can be realized on those losses. Historically, we have sustained losses from our U.S. operations and, as a result, have maintained a full valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets. We recently achieved profitability in the U.S., however, we do not believe there is sufficient positive evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient future taxable income in the U.S. to realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets. Depending on future results and projected trends, it is reasonably possible that we may determine in the foreseeable future that it is more likely than not that a significant portion of our U.S. deferred tax assets will be realized, resulting in a release of a significant portion of the valuation allowance.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated from our operations are our primary sources of liquidity. Short-term investments consist primarily of U.S. government and agency securities. We believe that our existing liquid resources and cash generated from operations will be adequate to meet our operating and capital requirements and other obligations, and fund cash dividends and common stock repurchases for more than the next 12 months. We may, however, find it desirable to obtain additional debt or equity financing. Such financing may not be available to us at all or on acceptable terms if we determine that it would be desirable to obtain additional financing.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased to $673.5 million as of June 30, 2013 from $676.0 million as of December 31, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to cash outflows for investing and financing activities, substantially offset by cash inflows generated from operating activities as described below.

Working Capital

Working capital increased by $3.9 million to $713.8 million as of June 30, 2013 from $709.9 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase was attributable to the following:

 

   

Other accrued liabilities decreased by $28.8 million primarily due to decreases in income taxes payable and other accruals;

 

   

Accrued salaries, wages and benefits decreased by $25.6 million primarily due to timing of payments for performance-based compensation and benefits; and

 

   

Accounts payable decreased by $18.7 million primarily due to the timing of invoice receipts and payments.

These increases in working capital were offset in part by the following:

 

   

Inventories decreased by $32.8 million, which primarily reflects our continued proactive management of inventory levels;

 

   

Accounts receivable decreased by $22.1 million primarily as a result of decreased revenues in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012;

 

   

Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $11.8 million primarily as a result of timing of certain prepayments; and

 

21


Table of Contents
   

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by $2.5 million primarily due to common stock repurchases of $122.3 million and $43.3 million used for purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales, substantially offset by net cash provided by operating activities of $140.7 million and proceeds from issuances of common stock of $31.9 million.

Working capital decreased by $264.9 million to $696.9 million as of July 1, 2012 from $961.8 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to the following:

 

   

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by $334.4 million primarily due to $319.2 million used in connection with the acquisition of SandForce in January 2012, net of cash acquired, $176.2 million used to repurchase our common stock, and $77.4 million used for purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales, offset in part by net cash provided by operating activities of $167.5 million and proceeds from issuances of common stock of $82.1 million; and

 

   

Accounts payable increased by $30.9 million primarily due to an increase in inventory purchases to support new product introductions and the normal timing of invoice receipts and payments.

These decreases in working capital were offset in part by the following:

 

   

Accounts receivable increased by $50.3 million primarily as a result of increased revenues in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011;

 

   

Other accrued liabilities decreased by $25.0 million primarily due to the utilization of restructuring reserves, payments of taxes and decreases in other accruals related to our operations, offset in part by an increase in deferred revenues; and

 

   

Inventories increased by $24.0 million as a result of increased inventory purchases to support new product introductions and higher revenues in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we generated $140.7 million of cash from operating activities as a result of the following:

 

   

Net income adjusted for non-cash items and other non-operating adjustments, which are quantified in our statements of cash flows included in Item 1;

 

   

Offset in part by a net decrease of $43.7 million in assets and liabilities, including changes in working capital components, from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013, as discussed above.

During the six months ended July 1, 2012, we generated $167.5 million of cash from operating activities as a result of the following:

 

   

Net income adjusted for non-cash items and other non-operating adjustments, which are quantified in our statements of cash flows included in Item 1;

 

   

Offset in part by a net decrease of $66.5 million in assets and liabilities, including changes in working capital components, from December 31, 2011 to July 1, 2012, as discussed above.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $110.2 million. Our investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were the following:

 

   

Purchases of available-for-sale debt securities and other investments, net of proceeds from maturities and sales, of $66.9 million; and

 

   

Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales, totaling $43.3 million.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 1, 2012 was $451.2 million. Our investing activities during the six months ended July 1, 2012 were the following:

 

   

$319.2 million of cash used in connection with the acquisition of SandForce;

 

   

Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales, totaling $77.4 million, including $45.5 million for our new headquarters; and

 

   

Purchases of available-for-sale debt securities, net of proceeds from maturities and sales, of $54.6 million.

We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $85 million in 2013. We use semiconductor foundries and outside assembly and test companies to manufacture products, which enable us to have access to advanced manufacturing capacity without significant capital spending requirements.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $90.4 million. This amount included $122.3 million used to repurchase our common stock, offset in part by $31.9 million of cash received from issuances of common stock under our employee stock plans.

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 1, 2012 was $94.1 million. This amount included $176.2 million used to repurchase our common stock, offset in part by $82.1 million of cash received from issuances of common stock under our employee stock plans.

On July 24, 2013, we announced that our board of directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share to be paid on September 20, 2013 to stockholders of record as of September 6, 2013. We intend to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common stock, subject to approval by our board of directors. Our dividend policy could be impacted in the future by, among other items, future changes in our cash flows and other potential uses of cash.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

* We have pension plans covering certain U.S. and international employees. Although additional future contributions will be required, the amount and timing of these contributions will be affected by actuarial assumptions, the actual rate of return on plan assets, the level of market interest rates, legislation changes and the amount of voluntary contributions to the plans. The amount shown in the table represents our planned contributions to our pension plans during the remainder of 2013. Because any contributions for 2014 and later will depend on the value of the plan assets in the future and thus are uncertain, we have not included any amounts for 2014 and beyond in the above table.

 

** This amount represents the non-current tax payable obligation. We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when a cash settlement with a taxing authority may occur.

Operating Lease Obligations

We lease real estate and certain non-manufacturing equipment under non-cancellable operating leases. We also include non-cancellable obligations under certain software licensing arrangements in this category.

Purchase Commitments

We maintain purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials 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.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of June 30, 2013, we had $200.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, for which we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with a taxing authority may occur. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease in the next 12 months. Such changes could occur based on the normal expiration of statutes of limitations, the possible conclusion of ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world or other negotiations with tax authorities. If those events occur within the next 12 months, we estimate that the unrecognized tax benefits, plus accrued interest and penalties, could decrease by up to $46.8 million.

Standby Letters of Credit

We had outstanding obligations relating to standby letters of credit of $3.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Standby letters of credit are financial guarantees provided by third parties for leases, customs, taxes and certain self-insured risks. If the guarantees are called, we must reimburse the provider of the guarantee. The fair value of the letters of credit approximates the contract amounts. The standby letters of credit generally renew annually.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates or significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the discussion in Part II, Item 7 and in Note 2 to our financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The information contained in Note 1 to our financial statements in Item 1 is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in the market risk disclosures during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the discussion in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required or necessary disclosures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded, based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures by our management with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for this purpose.

Changes in Internal Control: During the second quarter of 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

This information is included under the caption “Legal Matters” in Note 12 to our financial statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Set forth below are risks and uncertainties, many of which are discussed in greater detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, that, if they were to occur, could materially adversely affect our business or could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this report and other public statements we make:

 

   

We depend on a small number of customers. The loss of, or a significant reduction in revenues from, any of these customers would harm our results of operations.

 

   

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from the sale of products for use in hard disk drives and dynamics in that industry as well as competing technologies could have an adverse impact on our revenues.

 

   

We operate in intensely competitive markets, and our failure to compete effectively would harm our results of operations.

 

   

Customer orders and ordering patterns can change quickly, making it difficult for us to predict our revenues and making it possible that our actual revenues may vary materially from our expectations, which could harm our results of operations and stock price.

 

   

We depend on outside suppliers to manufacture, assemble, package and test our products; accordingly, any failure to secure and maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity at attractive prices or to maintain the quality of our products could harm our business and results of operations.

 

   

Failure to qualify our semiconductor products or our suppliers’ manufacturing lines with key customers could harm our business and results of operations.

 

   

We are seeking to expand our business by selling to new types of customers and may be unsuccessful in doing so, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

 

24


Table of Contents
   

If we fail to keep pace with technological advances, or if we pursue technologies that do not become commercially accepted, customers may not buy our products and our results of operations may be harmed.

 

   

Any defects in our products could harm our reputation, customer relationships and results of operations.

 

   

Our pension plans are underfunded, and may require significant future contributions, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

 

   

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims and litigation, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products.

 

   

If we are unable to protect or assert our intellectual property rights, our business and results of operations may be harmed.

 

   

Volatility in the price of commodities used in the production of our products or lack of availability of these materials could negatively impact our results of operations.

 

   

We are exposed to legal, business, political and economic risks associated with our international operations.

 

   

We use indirect channels of product distribution over which we have limited control.

 

   

We have engaged, and will likely continue to engage, in acquisitions and strategic alliances, which may disrupt our business or may not be successful and could harm our business and operating results.

 

   

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate.

 

   

Our failure to attract, retain and motivate key employees could harm our business.

 

   

Our operations and our suppliers’ operations are subject to natural disasters and other events outside of our control that may disrupt our business and harm our operating results.

 

   

Laws and regulations to which we are subject, as well as customer requirements in the area of environmental protection and social responsibility, could impose substantial costs on us and may adversely affect our business.

 

   

We rely on our information technology systems to run our business and any failure of these systems or any malicious intrusion into those systems could result in harm to our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

   

Our blank check preferred stock and Delaware law contain provisions that may inhibit potential acquisition bids, which may harm our stock price, discourage merger offers or prevent changes in our management.

 

   

Class action litigation due to stock price volatility or other factors could cause us to incur substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On August 1, 2012, our board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million of our common stock. The repurchases during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 reported in the following table were made pursuant to this authorization:
