Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. We use words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” "possible," “predict,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “future,” “potential,” and similar words or phrases to identify forward-looking statements.   Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about: our target or expected financial performance and our ability to achieve those results; future impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of actions by governments, businesses, and individuals in response to the situation, on consumer, industrial, labor, and financial markets, our business operations, supply chain and partners, financial performance, results of operations, financial position, and the achievement of our strategic objectives; future impacts of the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia; the impact of any continuing trade or travel restrictions on the export and import of products between the U.S. and China; our opportunities to increase our addressable market; our expectations and strategies regarding market trends and opportunities, including market segment drivers such as 5G infrastructure deployments, cloud and enterprise servers, client computing platforms, industrial Internet of Things, factory automation, automotive electronics, smart homes and prosumers; our expectations regarding our customer base; our expectations regarding product offerings; our gross margin growth and our strategies to achieve gross margin growth and other financial results; our future investments in research and development, and our research and development expense efficiency; future financial results or accounting treatments; our judgments involved in accounting matters, including revenue recognition, inventories and cost of revenue, and income taxes; actions we may take regarding the design and continued effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; our use of cash; our beliefs regarding the adequacy of our liquidity, capital resources and facilities; whether we will consider and act upon acquisition opportunities to extend our product, technology and product offerings; the expected costs of our restructuring plans; our expectations regarding taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, and tax adjustments and allowances; whether we will pursue future stock repurchases and how any future repurchases will be funded; our ability to prevent and respond to information technology system failures, security breaches and incidents, cyber-attacks or fraud; the impact of laws and regulations addressing privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity and our ability to comply with the same; and our beliefs regarding legal proceedings.   These forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those statements expressed in the forward-looking statements. The key factors, among others, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the actions by governments, businesses, and individuals in response to the situation, the effects of which may give rise to or amplify the risks associated with many of these factors listed here; global economic conditions and uncertainty; and other factors more fully described herein or that are otherwise described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including, but not limited to, the items discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022 and any additional or updated risk factors discussed in any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed since that date.   You should not unduly rely on forward-looking statements because our actual results could differ materially from those e xpressed by us. In addition, any forward-looking statem ent applies only as of the date of this filing. We do not plan to, and undertake no obligation to, update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or new events, circumstances or developments, or otherwise.   - 3 - Table of Contents       PART I.

In our opinion, they include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations for interim reporting. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended January 1, 2022 (" 2021 10 -K").   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our consolidated condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information. While we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information available when made, and because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, the actual results that we experience may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis.   We describe our accounting methods and practices in more detail in our  2021 10 -K. There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies, procedures, or general information described in our 2021 10 -K that have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The purchase price allocation for our acquisition of Mirametrix, Inc. in November 2021 has been substantially completed, but may be subject to revision as we perform and complete more detailed analysis of certain tax matters. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.   Fiscal Reporting Periods   We report based on a 52 or 53 -week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Our fiscal 2022 will be a 52 -week year and will end on December 31, 2022, and our fiscal 2021 was a 52 -week year that ended January 1, 2022. Our  third quarter of fiscal 2022 and third quarter of fiscal 2021 ended on October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 , respectively. All references to quarterly financial results are references to the results for the relevant  13 -week or 39 -week fiscal period.   Concentrations of Risk   Potential exposure to concentrations of risk may impact revenue and accounts receivable. Distributors have historically accounted for a significant portion of our total revenue. Revenue attributable to distributors as a percentage of total revenue was 90 % for the third quarter of both fiscal 2022 and 2021 , and 89 % and 88 % for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively. Distributors also account for a substantial portion of our net accounts receivable. Our two largest distributors accounte d for 40 % and 33 % of net accounts receivable at October 1, 2022  and 59 % and 28 % of net accounts receivable at January 1, 2022 .     Note 2 - Net Income per Share   Our calculation of the diluted share count includes the number of shares from our equity awards with market conditions or performance conditions that would be issuable under the terms of such awards at the end of the reporting period. For equity awards with a market condition, the number of shares included in the diluted share count as of the end of each period presented is determined by measuring the achievement of the market condition as of the end of the respective reporting periods. For equity awards with a performance condition, the number of shares that qualified for vesting as of the end of each period presented are included in the diluted share count when the condition for their issuance was satisfied by the end of the respective reporting periods. See "Note 9 - Stock-Based Compensation" to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our equity awards with market conditions or performance conditions.   - 10 - Table of Contents   A summary of basic and diluted Net income per share is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,   (in thousands, except per share data)   2022     2021     2022     2021   Net income   $ 46,359     $ 26,739     $ 126,969     $ 67,390                                     Shares used in basic Net income per share     137,267       136,638       137,397       136,476   Dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, ESPP shares, and equity awards with a market condition or performance condition     2,668       4,994       3,524       5,687   Shares used in diluted Net income per share     139,935       141,632       140,921       142,163                                     Basic Net income per share   $ 0.34     $ 0.20     $ 0.92     $ 0.49   Diluted Net income per share   $ 0.33     $ 0.19     $ 0.90     $ 0.47     The computation of diluted Net income per share excludes the effects of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") shares, and equity awards with a market condition or performance condition that are antidilutive, aggregating approximately the following number of shares:       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,   (in thousands)   2022     2021     2022     2021   Stock options, RSUs, ESPP shares, and equity awards with a market condition or performance condition excluded as they are antidilutive     604       358       535       182       Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers   Disaggregation of revenue   The following tables provide information about revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by major class of revenue, revenue by channel, and by geographical market, based on ship-to location of the customer :       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended   Revenue by Channel   October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,   (In thousands)   2022     2021     2022     2021   Product revenue - Distributors   $ 154,417       90 %   $ 118,227       90 %   $ 433,535       89 %   $ 328,174       88 % Product revenue - Direct     12,803       7 %     9,190       7 %     38,263       8 %     33,371       9 % Licensing and services     5,289       3 %     4,494       3 %     12,598       3 %     11,987       3 % Total revenue   $ 172,509       100 %   $ 131,911       100 %   $ 484,396       100 %   $ 373,532       100 %                                                                   Revenue by Geographical Market                                                                 (In thousands)                                                                 United States   $ 22,918       13 %   $ 11,022       8 %   $ 61,992       13 %   $ 31,804       8 % Other Americas     236       — %     9,239       7 %     4,984       1 %     22,126       6 % Americas     23,154       13 %     20,261       15 %     66,976       14 %     53,930       14 % China     75,933       44 %     76,692       58 %     232,099       48 %     208,632       56 % Japan     26,924       16 %     7,877       6 %     62,784       13 %     24,490       6 % Other Asia     20,003       12 %     14,328       11 %     55,449       11 %     50,620       14 % Asia     122,860       72 %     98,897       75 %     350,332       72 %     283,742       76 % Europe     26,495       15 %     12,753       10 %     67,088       14 %     35,860       10 % Total revenue   $ 172,509       100 %   $ 131,911       100 %   $ 484,396       100 %   $ 373,532       100 %   - 11 - Table of Contents   Contract balances   Our contract assets relate to our rights to consideration for licenses and royalties due to us as a member of the HDMI Founders consortium.

We intend to use the revolving loan facility for working capital and general corporate purposes.   At our option, the revolving loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on ranges determined by our consolidated total leverage ratio of either (i) the base rate (as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 1.00 %, or (ii) the adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for interest periods of 1, 3 or 6 months plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 2.00 %. Interest is due and payable in arrears quarterly for loans bearing interest at the base rate and at the end of an interest period (or at each three -month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) in the case of loans bearing interest at the adjusted Term SOFR. In addition, we pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.20 % on the unused portion of the revolving facility.   With the amendment of our 2019 Credit Agreement pursuant to the 2022 Credit Agreement, we capitalized $ 0.9 million of the new debt costs, and expensed $ 0.7 million of debt costs and existing original issue discount ("OID") as a loss on refinancing in Other (expense) income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. We determine the Current portion of long-term debt, if any, as the sum of the required debt payments to be made over the next twelve months, reduced by the OID and the debt issuance costs to be amortized over the next twelve months.   The revolving loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at our discretion, with any remaining outstanding principal amount due and payable on the maturity date of the revolving loan on September 1, 2027. During the  first six months of fiscal 2022 , we paid required quarterly installments totaling $ 8.8 million on the term loans outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement.   - 13 - Table of Contents   The fair value of our long-term debt approximates the carrying value, which is reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:       October 1,     January 1,   (In thousands)   2022     2022   Principal amount   $ 150,000     $ 158,750   Unamortized original issuance discount and debt costs     ( 1,315 )     ( 817 ) Less: Current portion of long-term debt     —       ( 17,173 ) Long-term debt, net of current portion and unamortized debt issue costs   $ 148,685     $ 140,760     As of October 1, 2022 , the effective interest rate on the revolving loan was 3.94 %.

Under the terms of these grants, the RSUs with a market condition vest over a three -year period based on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the Russell 2000 index, which condition is measured for the grants on the third anniversary of the grant date. The awards may vest at 250 % or 200 %, depending upon the executive, if the 75th percentile of the market condition is achieved, with 100 % of the units vesting at the 55th percentile, zero vesting if relative TSR is below the 25th percentile, and vesting scaling for achievement between the 25th and 75th percentile.   In the first nine months of fiscal 2022, certain awards with a market condition or performance condition granted in prior fiscal years have vested. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022 , the market condition for awards granted to certain executives in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 exceeded the 75 th percentile of their TSR condition, and the third tranche of these awards vested at 200 %.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the fifth and sixth tranches of 40 % and 70 %, respectively, of the base number of the awards with an EBITDA performance condition vested, as the Company had met the final two adjusted EBITDA performance criteria on a trailing four -quarter basis for two consecutive trailing four -quarter periods as of the end of the previous quarter. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022 , the market condition for awards granted to certain executives in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 exceeded the 75 th percentile of their TSR condition, and the third tranche of these awards vested at 250 % or 200 %, as applicable for the respective executive.   For our awards with a market condition or a performance condition, we incurred stock compensation expense of approximately $ 5.5 million and $ 4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, and of approximately $ 18.4 million and $ 15.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is recorded as a component of total stock-based compensation.   The following table summarizes the activity for our awards with a market condition or performance condition:   (Shares in thousands)   Total   Balance, January 1, 2022     1,246   Granted     183   Effect of vesting multiplier     642   Vested     ( 1,083 ) Balance, October 1, 2022     988     - 16 - Table of Contents     Note 10 - Common Stock Repurchase Program   On November 8, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which up to $ 100 million of outstanding common stock could be repurchased from time to time (the "2022 Repurchase Program").

Income taxes for the  three and nine -month periods ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 represent tax at the federal, state, and foreign statutory tax rates in addition to withholding taxes, changes in uncertain tax positions, as well as other non-deductible items in foreign jurisdictions. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 % and our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 resulted primarily from U.S. valuation allowance, foreign withholding taxes, foreign rate differentials, and the discrete impacts of uncertain tax positions due to lapsing of the statute of limitations.   We updated our evaluation of the valuation allowance position in the United States through October 1, 2022 and concluded that we should continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against the net federal and state deferred tax assets. In making this evaluation, we exercised significant judgment and considered estimates about our ability to generate revenue and taxable profits sufficient to offset expenditures in future periods within the U.S. We will continue to evaluate both positive and negative evidence in future periods to determine if we will realize the net deferred tax assets. We do not have a valuation allowance in any foreign jurisdictions as we have concluded it is more likely than not that we will realize the net deferred tax assets in future periods.   Our liability recorded for uncertain tax positions (including penalties and interest) wa s $ 21.2 million and $ 21.6 million a t October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022 , respectively, and is included as a component of Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.     Note 12 - Contingencies   Legal Matters   On or about December 19, 2018, Steven A.W. De Jaray, Perienne De Jaray and Darrell R. Oswald (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) commenced an action against the Company and several unnamed defendants in the Multnomah County Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, in connection with the sale of certain products by the Company to the Plaintiffs in or around 2008. The Plaintiffs allege that we violated The Lanham Act, engaged in negligence and fraud by failing to disclose to the Plaintiffs the export-controlled status of the subject parts. The Plaintiffs seek damages of $ 155 million to $ 268 million, treble damages, and other remedies. In January 2019, we removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. At this stage of the proceedings, we do not have an estimate of the likelihood or the amount of any potential exposure to the Company; however, we believe that these claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.   From time to time, we are exposed to certain additional asserted and unasserted potential claims. We review the status of each significant matter and assess its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of possible losses can be estimated, we then accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates.   - 17 - Table of Contents     ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS   The following discussion should be read along with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2021 10-K.   Overview   Lattice Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Lattice,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) develop technologies that we monetize through differentiated programmable logic semiconductor products, silicon-enabling products, system solutions, design services, and licenses. Lattice is the low power programmable leader. We solve customer problems across the network, from the Edge to the Cloud, in the growing communications, computing, industrial, automotive, and consumer markets. Our technology, long-standing relationships, and commitment to world-class support helps our customers quickly and easily unleash their innovation to create a smart, secure, and connected world.   Lattice has focused its strategy on delivering programmable logic products and related solutions based on low power, small size, and ease of use. We also serve our customers with intellectual property ("IP") licensing and various other services. Our product development activities include new proprietary products, advanced packaging, existing product enhancements, software development tools, soft IP, and system solutions for high-growth applications such as Edge Artificial Intelligence, 5G infrastructure, platform security, and factory automation.   Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates   Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results of operations, and that require management's most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no significant changes 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 2021 10-K.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our consolidated condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information. While we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information available when made, and because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis.   Impact of COVID-19 and Global Economic Activity on our Business   The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, increasing market volatility, inflationary pressure, and geopolitical tension continue to impact business globally and may impact our operations on an ongoing basis by causing disruption to our labor markets and supply chains. The COVID-19 pandemic, including the resurgence of cases relating to the spread of new variants, has and continues to impact worldwide economic activity and poses the risk that our employees, contractors, suppliers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing financial market volatility, inflationary pressure and related uncertainty will impact our business activities will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.   - 18 - Table of Contents   Results of Operations   Key elements of our Consolidated Statements of Operations, including as a percentage of revenue, are presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,   (In thousands)   2022     2021     2022     2021   Revenue   $ 172,509       100.0 %   $ 131,911       100.0 %   $ 484,396       100.0 %   $ 373,532       100.0 %                                                                   Gross margin     118,732       68.8       82,825       62.8       329,984       68.1       230,595       61.7                                                                     Research and development     34,820       20.2       28,769       21.8       100,988       20.8       80,289       21.5   Selling, general and, administrative     31,926       18.5       26,272       19.9       89,721       18.5       76,971       20.6   Amortization of acquired intangible assets     869       0.5       603       0.5       2,908       0.6       1,809       0.5   Restructuring charges     2,315       1.3       166       0.1       2,505       0.5       546       0.1   Acquisition related charges     —       —       —       —       511       0.1       —       —   Income from operations   $ 48,802       28.3 %   $ 27,015       20.5 %   $ 133,351       27.5 %   $ 70,980       19.0 %   Revenue by End Market   We sell our products globally to a broad base of customers in three primary end market groups: Communications and Computing, Industrial and Automotive, and Consumer. We also provide IP licensing and services to these end markets.   Within these end markets, there are multiple segment drivers, including: • Communications and computing: 5G infrastructure deployments, client computing platforms, and cloud and enterprise servers, • Industrial and automotive: industrial Internet of Things ("IoT"), factory automation, robotics, and automotive electronics, • Consumer: smart home, and prosumer.   We also generate revenue from the licensing of our IP, the collection of certain royalties, patent sales, the revenue related to our participation in consortia and standard-setting activities, and services. While these activities may be associated with multiple markets, Licensing and services revenue is reported as a separate end market as it has characteristics that differ from other categories, most notably a higher gross margin.   The end market data below is derived from data provided to us b y our customers. Wi th a diverse base of customers who may manufacture end products spanning multiple end markets, the assignment of revenue to a specific end market requires the use of judgment. We also recognize certain revenue fo r which end customers an d end markets are not yet known. We assign this revenue first to a specific end market using historical and anticipated usage of the specific products, if possible, and allocate the remainder to the end markets based on either historical usage for each product family or industry application data for certain product types.   The following are examples of end market applications for the periods presented:   Communications and Computing Industrial and Automotive Consumer Licensing and Services Wireless Security and Surveillance Cameras IP Royalties Wireline Machine Vision Displays Adopter Fees Data Backhaul Industrial Automation Wearables IP Licenses Server Computing Robotics Televisions Patent Sales Client Computing Automotive Home Theater   Data Storage Drones       - 19 - Table of Contents   The composition of our revenue by end market is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,   (In thousands)   2022     2021     2022     2021   Communications and Computing   $ 70,522       40.9 %   $ 55,827       42.3 %   $ 203,723       42.1 %   $ 157,732       42.2 % Industrial and Automotive     85,730       49.7       58,953       44.7       229,820       47.4       166,137       44.5   Consumer     10,968       6.3       12,637       9.6       38,255       7.9       37,676       10.1   Licensing and Services     5,289       3.1       4,494       3.4       12,598       2.6       11,987       3.2   Total revenue   $ 172,509       100.0 %   $ 131,911       100.0 %   $ 484,396       100.0 %   $ 373,532       100.0 %   Revenue from the Communications and Computing end market increased by 26% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and increased by 29% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to our key growth drivers in data center servers, client computing and 5G infrastructure.   Revenue from the Industrial and Automotive end market increased by 45% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and increased by 38% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to strong customer adoption in a broad range of applications, including industrial automation and robotics. Growth in Automotive was driven by the adoption of new designs in advanced driver assistance ("ADAS") and infotainment applications.   Revenue from the Consumer end market decreased by 13% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to macroeconomic weakness in Consumer, and increased by 2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to increased demand for our products in Consumer end market applications over the year-to-date periods.   Revenue from the Licensing and services end market increased by 18% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and increased by 5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to increased royalties.   Revenue by Geography   We assign revenue to geographies based on ship-to location of the customer.   The composition of our revenue by geography is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,   (In thousands)   2022     2021     2022     2021   Asia   $ 122,860       71.2 %   $ 98,897       75.0 %   $ 350,332       72.3 %   $ 283,742       76.0 % Americas     23,154       13.4       20,261       15.4       66,976       13.8       53,930       14.4   Europe     26,495       15.4       12,753       9.6       67,088       13.9       35,860       9.6   Total revenue   $ 172,509       100.0 %   $ 131,911       100.0 %   $ 484,396       100.0 %   $ 373,532       100.0 %   Revenue from Customers   We sell our products to independent distributors and directly to customers. Distributors have historically accounted for a significant portion of our total revenue, and the two distributor groups noted below individually accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in the periods covered by this report .   The composition of our revenue by customer is presented in the following table:       % of Total Revenue     % of Total Revenue       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,       2022     2021     2022     2021   Weikeng Group     31.1 %     44.0 %     32.9 %     39.1 % Arrow Electronics Inc.     24.7       30.0       27.2       26.9   Other distributors     33.7       15.6       29.4       21.9   All distributors     89.5       89.6       89.5       87.9   Direct customers     7.4       7.0       7.9       8.9   Licensing and services revenue     3.1       3.4       2.6       3.2   Total revenue     100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %   - 20 - Table of Contents   Gross Margin   The composition of our Gross margin, including as a percentage of revenue, is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended       October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,   (In thousands)   2022     2021     2022     2021   Gross margin   $ 118,732     $ 82,825     $ 329,984     $ 230,595   Gross margin percentage     68.8 %     62.8 %     68.1 %     61.7 % Product gross margin %     67.8 %     61.5 %     67.3 %     60.5 % Licensing and services gross margin %     100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %   Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased 600 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and increased by 640 basis points in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Improved margins were driven by benefits from our pricing optimization and gross margin expansion strategy.   Because of its higher margin, the licensing and services portion of our overall revenue can have a disproportionate impact on Gross margin.   Operating Expenses   Research and Development Expense   The composition of our Research and development expense, including as a percentage of revenue, is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended             Nine Months Ended               October 1,     October 2,             October 1,     October 2,           (In thousands)   2022     2021     % change     2022     2021     % change   Research and development   $ 34,820     $ 28,769       21.0 %   $ 100,988     $ 80,289       25.8 % Percentage of revenue     20.2 %     21.8 %             20.8 %     21.5 %           Research and development expense includes costs for compensation and benefits, stock compensation, engineering wafers, depreciation, licenses, and outside engineering services. These expenditures are for the design of new products, IP cores, processes, packaging, and software solutions.  The increase in Research and development expense for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 was due primarily to increased headcount-related costs as we continue to invest in our long-term product roadmap. We believe that investing in research and development is important to delivering innovative products to our customers and, therefore, we expect to continue to increase our investment in research and development.   Selling, General, and Administrative Expense   The composition of our Selling, general, and administrative expense, including as a percentage of revenue, is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended             Nine Months Ended               October 1,     October 2,             October 1,     October 2,           (In thousands)   2022     2021     % change     2022     2021     % change   Selling, general, and administrative   $ 31,926     $ 26,272       21.5 %   $ 89,721     $ 76,971       16.6 % Percentage of revenue     18.5 %     19.9 %             18.5 %     20.6 %           Selling, general, and administrative expense includes costs for compensation and benefits related to selling, general, and administrative employees, commissions, depreciation, professional and outside services, trade show, and travel expenses. The increase in Selling, general, and administrative expense for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 was due primarily to increased headcount-related costs to support ongoing customer growth, and to increased legal expenses primarily related to the defense of claims outside the ordinary course of business.   - 21 - Table of Contents   Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets   The composition of our Amortization of acquired intangible assets, including as a percentage of revenue, is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended             Nine Months Ended               October 1,     October 2,             October 1,     October 2,           (In thousands)   2022     2021     % change     2022     2021     % change   Amortization of acquired intangible assets   $ 869     $ 603       44.1 %   $ 2,908     $ 1,809       60.8 % Percentage of revenue     0.5 %     0.5 %             0.6 %     0.5 %           The increase in Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 is due to the amortization expense for new intangible assets added in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 through the acquisition of Mirametrix, Inc., partially offset by end of the amortization period during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 for acquired intangible assets from previous acquisitions.   Restructuring Charges   The composition of our Restructuring charges, including as a percentage of revenue, is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended             Nine Months Ended               October 1,     October 2,             October 1,     October 2,           (In thousands)   2022     2021     % change     2022     2021     % change   Restructuring charges   $ 2,315     $ 166       100+%     $ 2,505     $ 546       100+%   Percentage of revenue     1.3 %     0.1 %             0.5 %     0.1 %           Restructuring charges are comprised of expenses resulting from consolidation of our facilities, cancellation of contracts, and headcount reductions. Details of our restructuring plans and expenses incurred under them are discussed in "Note 6 - Restructuring"  to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Restructuring charges increased in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to lease right-of-use impairment and contract termination fees in the current year periods, as compared to minimal activity in the prior year.   Acquisition Related Charges   The composition of our Acquisition related charges, including as a percentage of revenue, is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended             Nine Months Ended               October 1,     October 2,             October 1,     October 2,           (In thousands)   2022     2021     % change     2022     2021     % change   Acquisition related charges   $ —     $ —       — %   $ 511     $ —       100.0 % Percentage of revenue     — %     — %             0.1 %     — %           For the first nine months of fiscal 2022, Acquisition related charges were attributable to our acquisition of Mirametrix in November 2021 and were comprised primarily of professional services including legal and accounting fees.   Interest Expense   The composition of our Interest expense, including as a percentage of revenue, is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended             Nine Months Ended               October 1,     October 2,             October 1,     October 2,           (In thousands)   2022     2021     % change     2022     2021     % change   Interest expense   $ (1,267 )   $ (661 )     91.7 %   $ (2,866 )   $ (2,081 )     37.7 % Percentage of revenue     (0.7 )%     (0.5 )%             (0.6 )%     (0.6 )%           Interest expense is primarily related to our long-term debt. This interest expense is comprised of contractual interest and amortization of original issue discount and debt issuance costs based on the effective interest method. The increase in Interest expense for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 was driven by the increase in the effective interest rate on our long-term debt.   - 22 - Table of Contents   Other (Expense) Income, net   The composition of our Other (expense) income, net, including as a percentage of revenue, is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended             Nine Months Ended               October 1,     October 2,             October 1,     October 2,           (In thousands)   2022     2021     % change     2022     2021     % change   Other (expense) income, net   $ (820 )   $ (87 )     100+%     $ (1,085 )   $ (384 )     100+%   Percentage of revenue     (0.5 )%     (0.1 )%             (0.2 )%     (0.1 )%           The changes in Other (expense) income, net for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 were primarily due to the $0.7 million loss on refinancing of our long-term debt during the period.   Income Taxes   The composition of our Income tax expense (benefit) is presented in the following table:       Three Months Ended             Nine Months Ended               October 1,     October 2,             October 1,     October 2,           (In thousands)   2022     2021     % change     2022     2021     % change   Income tax expense (benefit)   $ 356     $ (472 )     100+%     $ 2,431     $ 1,125       100+%     Our Income tax expense (benefit) is composed primarily of foreign income and withholding taxes, partially offset by benefits resulting from the release of uncertain tax positions due to statute of limitation expirations that occurred in the respective periods. The increase in tax expense in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 is primarily due to increased worldwide income and changes in uncertain tax positions.   Liquidity and Capital Resources   The following sections discuss material changes in our financial condition from the end of fiscal 2021, including the effects of changes in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the effects of our credit arrangements and contractual obligations on our liquidity and capital resources. There continues to be uncertainty around the extent and duration of the disruption to our business, including from the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, market volatility, and the rising rate of inflation, which may impact our liquidity and working capital needs in future periods.   We have historically financed our operating and capital resource requirements through cash flows from operations, and from the issuance of long-term debt to fund acquisitions. Cash provided by or used in operating activities will fluctuate from period to period due to fluctuations in operating results, the timing and collection of accounts receivable, and required inventory levels, among other things.   We believe that our financial resources, including current cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities, and our credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and working capital needs through at least the next 12 months. On September 1, 2022, we entered into our 2022 Credit Agreement, as described in " Note 5 - Long-Term Debt " under Part I, Item 1 of this report. As of October 1, 2022, we did not have significant long-term commitments for capital expenditures. For further information on our cash commitments for operating lease liabilities, see Note 7 - Leases under Part I, Item 1 of this report.   In the future, we may continue to consider acquisition opportunities to further extend our product or technology portfolios and further expand our product offerings. In connection with funding capital expenditures, acquisitions, securing additional wafer supply, increasing our working capital, or other operations, we may seek to obtain equity or additional debt financing. We may also seek to obtain equity or additional debt financing if we experience downturns or cyclical fluctuations in our business that are more severe or longer than we anticipated when determining our current working capital needs.   Cash and cash equivalents   (In thousands)   October 1, 2022     January 1, 2022     $ Change     % Change   Cash and cash equivalents   $ 118,766     $ 131,570     $ (12,804 )     (9.7 )%   As of October 1, 2022, we had Cash and cash equivalents of $118.8 million, of which approximately $21.1 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We manage our global cash requirements considering, among other things, (i) available funds among our subsidiaries through which we conduct business, (ii) the geographic location of our liquidity needs, and (iii) the cost to access international cash balances. The repatriation of non-US earnings may require us to withhold and pay foreign income tax on dividends. This should not result in our recording significant additional tax expense as we have accrued expense based on current withholding rates. As of October 1, 2022, we could access all cash held by our foreign subsidiaries without incurring significant additional expense.   - 23 - Table of Contents   The net decrease in Cash and cash equivalents of $12.8 million between January 1, 2022 and October 1, 2022 was primarily driven by cash flows from the following activities:   Operating activities — Cash provided by operating activities results from net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $156.8 million compared to $116.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 . This increase of $40.8 million was primarily driven by an increase of $73.7 million provided by improved operating performance, partially offset by $32.9 million of net changes in working capital, primarily from cash used by inventories and accounts receivable . We are using cash provided by operating activities to fund our operations.   Investing activities — Investing cash flows consist primarily of transactions related to capital expenditures and payments for software and intellectual property licenses. Net cash used by investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $21.4 million compared to $16.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.   Financing activities — Financing cash flows consist primarily of activity on our long-term debt, proceeds from the exercise of options to acquire common stock, tax payments related to the net share settlement of restricted stock units, and repurchases of common stock. In September 2022, we entered into our 2022 Credit Agreement and drew down an initial $150.0 million revolving loan at closing, which we used to pay off the $150.0 million outstanding balance on our previous term and revolving loans. In connection with the 2022 Credit Agreement, we paid $1.4 million in debt issuance costs. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we paid required quarterly installments on our previous long-term debt totaling $8.8 million.  Payments for tax withholdings on vesting of RSUs partially offset by employee exercises of stock options used net cash flows of $45.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, an increase of approximately $9.4 million from the net $36.3 million used in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we also repurchased approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock for $90.1 million, as further discussed below under "Share Repurchase Program."   Accounts receivable, net   (In thousands)   October 1, 2022     January 1, 2022     Change     % Change   Accounts receivable, net   $ 100,446     $ 79,859     $ 20,587       25.8 % Days sales outstanding - Overall     53       51       2             Accounts receivable, net as of October 1, 2022 increased by approximately $20.6 million, or 26% , compared to January 1, 2022. This increase resulted primarily from higher revenue shipments in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the year-end period. We calculate Days Sales Outstanding on the basis of a 365-day year as Accounts receivable, net at the end of the quarter divided by sales during the quarter annualized and then multiplied by 365.   Inventories   (In thousands)   October 1, 2022     January 1, 2022     Change     % Change   Inventories   $ 93,964     $ 67,594     $ 26,370       39.0 % Days of inventory on hand     159       122       37             Inventories as of October 1, 2022 increased $26.4 million, or approximately 39%, compared to January 1, 2022 primarily to meet the increased demands of our customers.   The Days of inventory on hand ratio compares the inventory balance at the end of a quarter to the cost of sales in that quarter. We calculate Days of inventory on hand on the basis of a 365-day year as Inventories at the end of the quarter divided by Cost of sales during the quarter annualized and then multiplied by 365.   Credit Arrangements   On September 1, 2022, we entered into our 2022 Credit Agreement. The details of this arrangement are described in " Note 5 - Long-Term Debt " in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q .   As of October 1, 2022 , we had no used or unused credit arrangements beyond the secured revolving loan facility described in the 2022 Credit Agreement.   Share Repurchase Program   See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about the share repurchase program.   - 24 - Table of Contents   ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK   Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We assess these risks on a regular basis and have established policies that are designed to protect against the adverse effects of these and other potential exposures. There have been no material changes to either the foreign currency exchange rate risk or interest rate risk previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022.     ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES   Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures   In connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.   Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting   There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We do not believe there has been any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting notwithstanding that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor and assess any potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls.   Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls   We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.   - 25 - Table of Contents   PART II. OTHER INFORMATION   ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS   The information set forth above under " Note 12 - Contingencies - Legal Matters " contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference.   ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS   In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors associated with our business previously described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 ("2021 10-K"). There have been no material changes in the risk factors included in our 2021 10-K, and this report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in our 2021 10-K. The additional risks described below supplement the risk factors described in our 2021 10-K based on information currently known to us and recent developments since the filing date of that report. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we may currently deem to be immaterial, including those discussed below, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.   Worldwide political and economic conditions may create uncertainties that could adversely affect our business. For example, the continuing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the financial and trade-related restrictions associated with Russia and Belarus and economic sanctions on certain individuals and entities in Russia and Belarus, may further disrupt global supply chains and could result in shortages of key materials that our suppliers and foundry partners require to satisfy our needs. Furthermore, any deterioration in the relations between Taiwan and China, and other factors affecting military, political or economic conditions in Taiwan, could adversely impact our third-party manufacturing partners and suppliers located in Taiwan, which could disrupt our business operations. Geopolitical tensions or conflicts may also create a heightened risk of cyberattacks. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and adverse macroeconomic conditions, such as rising inflation and labor shortages, may affect demand for our products or increase our product or labor costs, negatively impacting our revenues, gross margins, and overall financial results. Additionally, the U.S. government recently announced new controls regarding semiconductor- and supercomputer-related products and new restrictions affecting U.S. persons’ ability to send certain chips and chip-related technology and software to China without an export license which may impact the global supply chain. We also may be impacted by changes in the tax laws of the United States and foreign jurisdictions. President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction act of 2022 (“IRA”) on August 16, 2022 and the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 on August 9, 2022. These laws implement new tax provisions and provide for various incentives and tax credits, including a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases made by publicly traded US corporations after December 31, 2022. Although such events have not significantly affected our business or operations, the ultimate impact is unknown and future developments could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.   These factors, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, should be carefully considered before making an investment decision relating to our common stock.   ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS   Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities   On November 8, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which up to $100 million of outstanding common stock could be repurchased from time to time (the "2022 Repurchase Program"). The duration of the 2022 Repurchase Program is through the end of December 2022. Under the 2022 Repurchase Program during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we repurchased 680,098 shares for $39.7 million, or an average price paid per share of $58.40.   On August 8, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which up to an additional $150 million of outstanding common stock could be repurchased from time to time (the "2023 Repurchase Program"). The duration of the 2023 Repurchase Program is through the end of December 2023. Under the 2023 Repurchase Program during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we repurchased 4,829 shares for $0.3 million, or an average price paid per share of $54.08.   Under these plans during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we have repurchased a total of 1,663,282 shares for $90.1 million, or an average price paid per share of $54.19. All repurchases were open market transactions funded from available working capital. All shares repurchased pursuant to the 2022 and 2023 Repurchase Programs were retired by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.   - 26 - Table of Contents   The following table contains information regarding our repurchases of our common stock that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the third quarter of fiscal 2022.   Period   Total Number of Shares Purchased     Average Price Paid per Share     Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (a)     Approximate Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs ($M) (b)   July 3, 2022 through July 30, 2022     —     $ —       —     $ 39.7   July 31, 2022 through August 27, 2022     487,535     $ 59.78       487,535     $ 160.6   August 28, 2022 through October 1, 2022     197,392     $ 54.86       197,392     $ 149.7   Total     684,927     $ 58.36       684,927     $ 149.7     (a)   All repurchases during the quarter were open-market transactions funded from available working capital made under the authorization from our board of directors to purchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock announced November 8, 2021 and under the authorization from our board of directors to purchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock announced August 8, 2022. (b)   As of October 1, 2022, this amount consisted of the remaining portion of the $150.0 million program authorized through the end of December 2023 that was announced August 8, 2022. We do not plan to make further repurchases pursuant to the 2022 Repurchase Program, which was due to expire at the end of December 2022, because as of August 31, 2022 we had repurchased the maximum dollar value of shares authorized under the 2022 Repurchase Program.     ITEM 6.
