NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Maxim Integrated”) included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which were considered necessary for fair statement have been included. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 27, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal years 2021 and 2020 are 52-week fiscal years.

Merger with Analog Devices

On July 13, 2020, the Company announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 12, 2020 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “ADI Merger Agreement”) with Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Analog Devices” or "ADI"), and Magneto Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Analog Devices (“Acquisition Sub”), under which, subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permissible) waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into the Company, and the Company will survive the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Analog Devices (the “ADI Merger”). Under the terms of the ADI Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the ADI Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury shares and any shares of Company Common Stock held by Analog Devices or Acquisition Sub) will be converted into the right to receive 0.6300 of a fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.16 2/3 per share, of Analog Devices (with cash being paid (without interest and less applicable withholding taxes) in lieu of any fraction of a share of Analog Devices common stock). Analog Devices shareholders will continue to own their existing Analog Devices shares, and the combined company will be named Analog Devices.

The ADI Merger has been approved by both the Company’s Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Analog Devices. The completion of the ADI Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, the required approvals of Maxim Integrated’s stockholders, the approval of ADI’s shareholders and the receipt of various regulatory approvals. Subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permissible) waiver of such conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the summer of 2021. The Company cannot guarantee that the ADI Merger will be completed on a timely basis or at all or that, if completed, it will be completed on the terms set forth in the ADI Merger Agreement.

Stockholders of Maxim Integrated and shareholders of ADI have each approved the proposed transaction. In addition, required regulatory clearances have been obtained in the United States, the European Union, the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and South Korea.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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 period. Such estimates relate to the useful lives and fair value of fixed assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, reserves relating to uncertain tax positions, allowance for distributor credits, inventory valuation, reserves relating to litigation matters, assumptions about the fair value of reporting units and asset groups, accrued liabilities and reserves, and the value of intangibles acquired associated with business combinations. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on its historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and its beliefs of what could occur in the future, given available information. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

The ongoing novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the mitigation efforts by governments to attempt to control its spread created uncertainties and disruptions in the economic and financial markets. The Company is not aware of events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates, judgments, or adjustments to the carrying values of its assets or liabilities as of April 28, 2021, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change as developments occur and as the Company obtains additional information. These future developments are highly uncertain, and the outcomes, unpredictable. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain items in prior financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(i) New Accounting Update Recently Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes resulted in earlier recognition of credit losses. We adopted ASU 2016-13 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 using the modified retrospective approach. The effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures was not material.

NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of money market funds.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of corporate debt securities and foreign currency forward contracts that are valued using quoted market prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company's Level 3 assets and liabilities consist of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:


	As of March 27, 2021								As of June 27, 2020

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 27, 2021 and June 27, 2020 other than impairments of long-lived assets.

As of March 27, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the fair value of private company investments amounted to $27.5 million and $20.6 million, respectively. The aggregate amount of unrealized gains (losses) recognized from these investments were $1.8 million and $(4.3) million, respectively, as of March 27, 2021 and June 27, 2020.

The Company recorded $0.1 million and $5.6 million of unrealized gains on private company investments during the three and nine months ended March 27, 2021, respectively. Unrealized gains (losses) on private company investments was $(0.4) million and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended March 28, 2020, respectively.

Less: Reduction for unamortized discount and debt issuance costs	(4,900)		(5,978)
Total long-term debt	$	995,100	$	994,022

On June 15, 2017, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.45% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes due in June 2027 (“2027 Notes”), with an effective interest rate of 3.5%. Interest on the 2027 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2017. The net proceeds of this offering were approximately $495.2 million, after issuing at a discount and deducting paid expenses.

On March 18, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.375% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes due in March 2023 (“2023 Notes”), with an effective interest rate of 3.5%. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The net proceeds of this offering were approximately $490.0 million, after issuing at a discount and deducting paid expenses.

The debt indentures that govern the 2027 Notes and the 2023 Notes include covenants that limit the Company's ability to grant liens on its facilities and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, which could limit the Company's ability to secure additional debt funding in the future. In circumstances involving a change of control of the Company followed by a downgrade of the rating of the 2027 Notes or the 2023 Notes, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the affected notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company accounts for all the notes above based on their amortized cost. The discount and expenses are being amortized to Interest and other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the life of the notes. The interest expense is recorded in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Amortized discount and expenses, as well as interest expense associated with the notes, were $8.9 million and $8.9 million during the three months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively. Amortized discount and expenses, as well as interest expense associated with the notes, were $26.7 million and $26.7 million during the nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations was approximately $1.1 billion as of March 27, 2021. The estimated fair value of the debt is based primarily on observable market inputs and is a Level 2 measurement.

The Company recorded interest expense of $9.4 million and $9.3 million during the three months ended March 27, 2021, and March 28, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $28.1 million and $27.9 million during the nine months ended March 27, 2021, and March 28, 2020, respectively.

Other Financial Instruments

For the Company’s other financial instruments consisting of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

NOTE 7: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At March 27, 2021, the Company had one stock incentive plan, the Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and one employee stock purchase plan, the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2008 ESPP”). The 1996 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors to provide the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and market stock units (“MSUs”) to employees, directors, and consultants.

Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, the exercise price for incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options is determined to be the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Options typically vest ratably over a four-year period measured from the date of grant. Options generally expire no later than seven years after the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon an optionee's cessation of employment or service.

RSUs granted to employees typically vest ratably over a four-year period and are released or converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company over that period. RSUs granted from September 2017 to July 2020 will continue to vest post-employment at the Company for certain individuals satisfying specific eligibility requirements.

RSAs granted to employees typically vest over a four-year cliff period and are converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company over that period. RSAs have certain shareholder rights, such as voting rights, but are not eligible for dividends or dividend equivalents.

MSUs granted to employees typically vest over a four-year cliff period and are converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the employee's continued service to the Company over that period. The number of shares that are released at the end of the performance period can range from zero to a maximum cap depending on the Company's performance. MSUs granted in September 2017, September 2018, and September 2019 will continue to vest post-employment at the Company for certain individuals satisfying specific eligibility requirements.

The following tables show total stock-based compensation expense by type of award, and the resulting tax effect, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively:

Less: income tax effect							7,701								7,050
Net stock-based compensation expense							$	80,116							$	65,091

The expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for RSUs and other awards include expenses related to MSUs of $2.8 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively, and $9.0 million and $9.6 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively.

In connection with the proposed ADI Merger, on September 1, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors granted RSAs to certain employees. For employees who made IRS Section 83(b) elections, Maxim accelerated a portion of the RSAs to satisfy tax withholding requirements. The Company recorded $8.7 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the accelerated RSAs during nine months ended March 27, 2021. Additionally, in connection with the proposed ADI Merger, the Company modified equity awards held by certain executives by accelerating the vesting of 0.2 million outstanding RSU awards that otherwise would have vested at various dates through calendar year 2023. The Company recognized an additional $5.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these RSU modifications during the nine months ended March 27, 2021.

Stock Options

The fair value of options granted to employees under the 1996 Plan is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

There were no stock options granted in the nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020.

The following table summarizes outstanding, exercisable and vested and expected to vest stock options as of March 27, 2021 and related activity for the nine months ended March 27, 2021:


	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1)

Vested and expected to vest, March 27, 2021	2,408	$	34.20	0.2	$	141,927
(1)Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price and the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on March 26, 2021, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of options outstanding, exercisable or vested and expected to vest as of March 27, 2021.

As of March 27, 2021, there was no unrecognized stock compensation from unvested stock options.

Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Awards

The fair value of RSUs and RSAs under the Company’s 1996 Plan is estimated using the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock prior to vesting. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on an annual basis.

The weighted-average fair value of RSUs and RSAs granted was $71.38 and $49.55 per share for the nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively.

The following table summarizes the outstanding and expected to vest RSUs and RSAs as of March 27, 2021 and related activity during the nine months ended March 27, 2021:


	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1)

Outstanding and expected to vest, March 27, 2021	3,679,491	1.5	$	342,707,796
(1)Aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs and RSAs represents the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on March 26, 2021, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of RSUs and RSAs outstanding or expected to vest as of March 27, 2021.

The Company withheld shares totaling $51.9 million in value as a result of employee withholding taxes based on the value of RSUs and RSAs on their vesting date for the nine months ended March 27, 2021. Total payments for employees’ tax obligations to taxing authorities are reflected as financing activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of March 27, 2021, there was $173.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to 4.4 million unvested RSUs and RSAs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years.

Market Stock Units (MSUs)

The Company grants MSUs to senior members of management in lieu of granting stock options. For MSUs granted in September 2017, September 2018, and September 2019, the performance metrics for this program are based on the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company relative to the TSR of the other companies included in the Semiconductor Exchange Traded Fund index SPDR S&P (“XSD”). The fair value of MSUs is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and makes revisions to forfeitures on an annual basis. Compensation expense is recognized based on the initial valuation and is not subsequently adjusted as a result of the Company’s performance relative to that of the XSD or the TSR of the companies included in the XSD, as applicable. Vesting for MSUs is contingent upon both service and market conditions and has a four-year vesting cliff period. MSUs granted in September 2017, September 2018, and September 2019 vest based upon annual performance and are subject to continued service through the end of the four-year period but will continue to vest post-employment at the Company for certain individuals satisfying specific eligibility requirements. As a result of the ADI Merger Agreement, in September 2020, the Company granted RSUs in lieu of MSUs (or RSAs in lieu of RSUs and MSUs for any potential “disqualified individuals” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, which RSAs will not be eligible for dividends or dividend equivalent rights).

No MSUs were granted during the nine months ended March 27, 2021. The weighted-average fair value of MSUs granted was $54.70 per share for the nine months ended March 28, 2020.

The following table summarizes the number of MSUs outstanding and expected to vest as of March 27, 2021 and their activity during the nine months ended March 27, 2021:


	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1)

Outstanding and expected to vest, March 27, 2021	1,015,277	1.0	$	94,562.856
(1)Aggregate intrinsic value for MSUs represents the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on March 26, 2021, the last business day preceding the fiscal quarter-end, multiplied by the number of MSUs outstanding or expected to vest as of March 27, 2021.

As of March 27, 2021, there was $16.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to 0.7 million unvested MSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.4 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Employees are granted rights to acquire common stock under the 2008 ESPP.

The fair value of 2008 ESPP rights granted to employees has been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions for the offering periods:


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	March 27, 2021	March 28, 2020	March 27, 2021	March 28, 2020
Expected holding period (in years)	—	0.5 years	0.5 years	0.5 years
Risk-free interest rate	—	1.6% - 2.3%	0.2% - 1.6%	1.6% - 2.7%
Expected stock price volatility	—	28.4% - 29.5%	29.2% - 55.2%	28.4% - 31.3%
Dividend yield	—	3.3% - 3.4%	3.3% - 3.3%	3.1% - 3.4%

As of March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, there was $0 and $6.9 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense related to the 2008 ESPP. At the end of the offering period in November 2020, the Company suspended the 2008 ESPP program pursuant to the terms of the ADI Merger Agreement.

NOTE 8: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock excludes unvested RSUs, RSAs and MSUs. Diluted earnings per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, assumed release of unvested RSUs, RSAs and MSUs, and assumed issuance of common stock under the 2008 ESPP using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

NOTE 11: INCOME TAXES

In the three and nine months ended March 27, 2021 the Company recorded an income tax provision of $27.2 million and $78.6 million, respectively, compared to $20.5 million and $61.2 million, for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 27, 2021 was 11.0% and 12.1%, respectively, compared to 11.3% and 12.0% for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2020, respectively.

The Company’s federal statutory tax rate is 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to earnings of foreign subsidiaries, generated by the Company's international operations managed in Ireland, that were taxed at lower rates, partially offset by U.S. tax expense generated by Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”). In addition, a $6.7 million discrete benefit for prior year Internal Revenue Code Section 199 (Domestic Production Activities) refund claims was recognized in the three and nine months ended March 27, 2021.

On June 18, 2019, the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) released temporary regulations under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 245A and 954(c)(6) (the “Temporary Regulations”), which applied retroactively to intercompany dividends occurring after December 31, 2017. The Temporary Regulations limit the applicability of the foreign personal holding company income (“FPHCI”) look-through exception for certain intercompany dividends received by a controlled foreign corporation. Before application of the retroactive Temporary Regulations, the Company benefited in fiscal years 2018 and 2019 from the FPHCI look-through exception. On August 21, 2020, the U.S. Treasury and IRS released final regulations under IRC Sections 245A and 954(c)(6) (the “Final Regulations”), which generally apply to years ending on or after June 14, 2019. The relevant sections of the Final Regulations are virtually the same as the Temporary Regulations. The Temporary Regulations apply to fiscal year 2018 and the Final Regulations apply to fiscal year 2019 intercompany dividends. The Company does not have any intercompany dividends after fiscal year 2019 that are impacted by relevant sections of the Temporary Regulations or Final Regulations.

The Company previously analyzed the relevant Temporary Regulations and concluded that they were not validly issued, a conclusion which the Company has determined is not altered by issuance of the Final Regulations. The Company has also analyzed the relevant Final Regulations and concluded that they were not validly issued. Therefore, the Company has not accounted for the effects of the Temporary Regulations or Final Regulations in its results of operations for any fiscal period. The Company believes it has strong arguments in favor of its position and that it has met the more likely than not recognition threshold that its position will be sustained. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position, however, due to the uncertainty involved in challenging and litigating the validity of regulations, there can be no assurance that a court of law will rule in favor of the Company. An unfavorable resolution of this issue could have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

The Company engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, could decrease up to $108.0 million within the next twelve months due to the completion of federal tax audits, including any administrative appeals. The $108.0 million primarily relates to matters involving federal taxation of international income and cross-border transactions.

The Company’s federal corporate income tax returns are audited on a recurring basis by the IRS. In fiscal year 2020, the IRS commenced an audit of the Company’s federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2015 through 2017, which is ongoing. The Company expects that the IRS will commence an audit of the Company’s federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2018 through 2020 in the summer of 2021.

NOTE 12: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party or subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings and claims that relate to intellectual property matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will result in losses that are materially in excess of amounts already recognized or reserved, if any.

Indemnification

The Company indemnifies certain customers, distributors, suppliers and subcontractors for attorney fees, damages and costs awarded against such parties in certain circumstances in which the Company's products are alleged to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including patents, registered trademarks or copyrights. The terms of the Company's indemnification obligations are generally perpetual from the effective date of the agreement. In certain cases, there are limits on and exceptions to the Company's potential liability for indemnification relating to intellectual property infringement claims.

Pursuant to the Company's charter documents and separate written indemnification agreements, the Company has certain indemnification obligations to its current officers, employees and directors, as well as certain former officers and directors.

NOTE 13: COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES

On October 30, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock. The stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and the pace of repurchase activity will depend on factors such as current stock price, levels of cash generated from operations, cash requirements, and other factors. All prior repurchase authorizations by the Company’s Board of Directors for the repurchase of common stock were cancelled and superseded by this repurchase authorization.

Pursuant to the terms of the ADI Merger Agreement, the Company suspended its repurchase program on July 13, 2020, the date the Company announced its planned merger with ADI. Prior to such announcement and during the fiscal year 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 149.8 thousand shares of its common stock for $9.2 million. As of March 27, 2021, the Company had remaining authorization of $0.7 billion for future share repurchases.

NOTE 14: LEASES

The Company's lease obligations consist of operating leases for domestic and international office facilities, data centers, and equipment.

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

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (“Maxim Integrated” or the “Company” and also referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”) disclaims any duty to and undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information relating to existing conditions, future events or otherwise, the uncertainties as to the timing of the completion of our pending merger with Analog Devices, Inc. and the ability of each party to complete the merger, and the effects of the ongoing novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, or to release publicly the results of any future revisions it may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to it, except as required by federal securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers should carefully review future reports and documents that the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC from time to time, such as its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Overview of Business

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (“Maxim Integrated” or the “Company” and also referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”) designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits, commonly referred to as analog circuits, for a large number of customers in diverse geographical locations. The analog market is fragmented and characterized by many diverse applications, a great number of product variations and, with respect to many circuit types, relatively long product life cycles. We are a global company with a wafer manufacturing facility in the U.S., test facilities in the Philippines and Thailand, and sales and circuit design offices around the world. We also utilize third parties for manufacturing and assembly of our products.

Recent Developments

The Linear and Mixed-Signal Analog Integrated Circuit Market

All electronic signals generally fall into one of two categories, linear or digital. Linear (or analog) signals represent real world phenomena, such as temperature, pressure, sound or speed, and are continuously variable over a wide range of values. Digital signals represent the “ones” and “zeros” of binary arithmetic and are either on or off.

Three general classes of semiconductor products arise from this distinction between linear and digital signals:

•digital devices, such as memories and microprocessors that operate primarily in the digital domain;

•linear devices, such as amplifiers, references, analog multiplexers and switches that operate primarily in the analog domain; and

•mixed-signal devices such as data converter devices that combine linear and digital functions on the same integrated circuit and interface between the analog and digital domains.

Our strategy has been to target both the linear and mixed-signal markets, often collectively referred to as the analog market. However, some of our products are exclusively or principally digital. While our focus continues to be on the linear and mixed-signal market, our capabilities in the digital domain enable development of new mixed-signal and other products with highly sophisticated digital characteristics.

Our linear and mixed-signal products now serve four major end-markets: (i) Automotive, (ii) Communications and Data Center, (iii) Consumer and (iv) Industrial. These major end-markets and their corresponding markets are noted in the table below:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The methods, estimates, and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require us to make our most difficult and subjective accounting judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include valuation of inventories; accounting for income taxes; and assessment of litigation and contingencies. These policies and the estimates and judgments involved are discussed further in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020. We have other significant accounting policies that either do not generally require estimates and judgments that are as difficult or subjective, or it is less likely that such accounting policies would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period.

Except for the accounting policies and estimates outlined under Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 2, there have been no material changes during the nine months ended March 27, 2021 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and will continue to impact the Company’s operations, employees, customers, and suppliers, due to shelter-in-place orders, mandated quarantines, reduced facility operations, and travel bans and restrictions. While the operating results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 and thereafter may be impacted by COVID-19, the extent and form of such impact to our business is uncertain and cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty.

Employee Health and Safety

During the second half of fiscal year 2020 and the first three quarters in fiscal year 2021, the Company's facilities and offices were either operating at reduced capacity or temporarily closed for non-essential operations. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, we implemented safety measures such as work-from-home practices, travel restrictions, extensive cleaning protocols, and social distancing when engaging in essential activities.

Focus on Customers

We continue to work with our sales, supplier, and customer design and engineering teams to meet current demand. Teams meet remotely, through telephonic or video conferences and by leveraging available technology, to continue the design and engineering process that would normally take place at physical customer locations.

Manufacturing and Operations

We will continue to actively monitor this evolving situation and implement changes to protect employee health. In addition to our actions, we will continue to implement government-placed orders in all our locations. While COVID-19 related disruptions have impacted our manufacturing operations, we continue to leverage our manufacturing flexibility to reduce the negative effects of such disruptions.

Please refer to certain risk factors included in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020 for discussions of the risks to our business from COVID-19.

Net Revenues

Net revenues were $665.0 million and $561.9 million for the three months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively. Revenue from automotive products was up 30% driven by an increased demand for infotainment, safety and security, and powertrain products. Revenue from industrial products was up 28% driven by an increased demand for medical, and control and automation products. Revenue from consumer products was up 24% driven by an increased demand for handheld and other consumer products. Revenue from Communication and Data Center products was down 13% driven by decreased demand for base stations and data storage products.

Net revenues were $1.9 billion and $1.6 billion for the nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively. Revenue from automotive products was up 25% driven by increased demand for powertrain and safety and security products. Revenue from industrial products was up 22% driven by increased demand for control and automation, automatic test equipment and medical products. Revenue from consumer products was up 11% driven by an increased demand for handheld computers, home entertainment and appliance, and other consumer products.

During each of the nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, approximately 90% of net revenues were derived from customers outside of the United States. While less than 1% of our sales are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our revenue and results of operations for the nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020 was immaterial.

BACKLOG

As of March 27, 2021 and June 27, 2020, our current quarter backlog was approximately $744.5 million and $496.4 million, respectively. Our current quarter backlog includes customer request dates to be filled within the next three months. We believe that our backlog may not be a reliable measure for predicting future revenues.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Financial Condition

Cash flows were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	March 27, 2021		March 28, 2020
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	644,450	$	588,526
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	(11,264)		42,386
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	(177,883)		(749,587)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	455,303	$	(118,675)

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities.

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $55.9 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2021 compared with the nine months ended March 28, 2020 primarily due to increased net income partially offset by changes in working capital. Changes in working capital were driven by increases in accounts receivable.

Investing activities

Investing cash flows consist primarily of net investment purchases and maturities, and capital expenditures.

Cash provided by investing activities decreased by $53.7 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2021 compared with the nine months ended March 28, 2020. The decrease was due to less proceeds from maturity of available-for-sale securities partially offset by less purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Financing activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of payment of debt, dividends to stockholders, and repurchases of common stock.

Cash used in financing activities decreased by $571.7 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2021 compared with the nine months ended March 28, 2020. The decrease was due to less repurchases of common stock and dividend payments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of liquidity is our cash flows from operating activities resulting from net income and management of working capital.

As of March 27, 2021, our available funds consisted of $2.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

On October 30, 2018, we were authorized to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of the Company's common stock. During the nine months ended March 27, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate of $9.2 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ADI Merger Agreement, the Company suspended the repurchase program on July 13, 2020, the date we announced our planned merger with ADI.

During the nine months ended March 27, 2021, we paid cash dividends of $0.48 per common share totaling $128.1 million. The Company discontinued its dividend program effective during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, as provided in the ADI Merger Agreement.

We anticipate that the available funds and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet cash and working capital requirements, including the anticipated level of capital expenditures, debt repayments and dividend payments for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

As of March 27, 2021, we did not have any material off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate and foreign currency risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020.

The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company’s net revenues and on operating income during the nine months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020 was not material.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and our chief financial officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 27, 2021. Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 27, 2021. The purpose of these controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 27, 2021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the Company’s employees are working remotely, and the Company is striving to minimize the impact of this on the design and effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continually monitoring and assessing its internal control over financial reporting and has not experienced any material impact to its internal control over financial reporting due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

A system of internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and no control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance. The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect financial statement errors and misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On October 30, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock. This stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and the pace of repurchase activity will depend on factors such as current stock price, levels of cash generated from operations, cash requirements, and other factors. The Company’s prior repurchase authorization was cancelled and superseded by this new repurchase authorization.

The following table summarizes the activity related to stock repurchases for the nine months ended March 27, 2021:
