REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Navitas Semiconductor Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Navitas Semiconductor Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On May 6, 2021, Navitas Semiconductor Limited, a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of Ireland (“Navitas Ireland”) and domesticated in the State of Delaware as Navitas Semiconductor Ireland, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Navitas Delaware” and, together with Navitas Ireland, “Legacy Navitas”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement” or “BCA”) with Live Oak Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Live Oak”). Pursuant to the BCA, among other transactions consummated on October 19, 2021 (collectively, the “Business Combination”), Live Oak acquired all of the capital stock of Navitas Ireland (other than the Navitas Ireland Restricted Shares, as defined below) by means of a tender offer, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak merged with and into Navitas Delaware, with Navitas Delaware surviving the merger. As a result, Legacy Navitas became a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak effective October 19, 2021. At the closing of the Business Combination, Live Oak changed its name to Navitas Semiconductor Corporation ("Navitas").
References to the “Company” in these financial statements refer to Legacy Navitas and its predecessors before the consummation of the Business Combination, or to Navitas Semiconductor Corporation after the Business Combination, as the context suggests.
The Company was founded in 2013 and has since been developing next-generation power semiconductors including gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuits (ICs), silicon carbide (SiC) and associated high-speed silicon system controllers and digital isolators used in power conversion and charging. The Company presently operates as a product design house that contracts the manufacturing of its chips and packaging to partner suppliers. Navitas maintains its operations around the world, including the United States, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Belgium, China, Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippines, with principal executive offices in Torrance, California.
Reorganization
Navitas Semiconductor USA, Inc. (f/k/a Navitas Semiconductor, Inc., “Navitas U.S.”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 25, 2013. In 2020 Navitas U.S. initiated a restructuring to streamline its worldwide legal entity structure and more efficiently align its business operations (the “Restructuring”). The Restructuring introduced wholly owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China as well as the addition of Legacy Navitas, an entity registered in Ireland and the U.S., as the parent of Navitas U.S. and the other Navitas subsidiaries. In connection with the Restructuring, effective September 1, 2020, Legacy Navitas acquired certain intellectual property and other intangible assets from Navitas U.S. and, after the Restructuring, contracts directly with customers. The transfer of intellectual property and other intangible assets by Navitas U.S. to Legacy Navitas in connection with the Restructuring was among entities within the same consolidated group and, as a result, did not result in any gain or loss to the Company. Legacy Navitas is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is a tax resident in both Ireland and the United States. See Note 14, Provision for Income Taxes, for more information.
Business combination
Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, the Business Combination was consummated (the “Closing”) on October 19, 2021 (the Closing Date”) by means of (i) a tender offer to acquire the entire issued share capital of Navitas Ireland (other than Navitas Ireland Restricted Shares (as defined below)) in exchange for the Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below) (the “Tender Offer”) and (ii) the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak (“Merger Sub”) with and into Navitas Delaware (the “Merger”), with Navitas Delaware surviving the Merger.
F-9
NAVITAS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022 and 2021
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although Live Oak issued shares for outstanding equity interests of Legacy Navitas in the Business Combination, Live Oak was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Navitas issuing stock for the net assets of Live Oak, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Live Oak were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Navitas.
For all periods presented, unless stated otherwise, references to Legacy Navitas common shares and options for common shares outstanding before the Closing and related per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to the reverse recapitalization, specifically, the Exchange Ratio of 1.0944 shares to 1 at Closing. References to share quantities for Legacy Navitas convertible preferred stock and warrants related to balances or activity before the Closing reflect the historical quantities and are not adjusted for the Exchange Ratio.
Acquisitions
In June 2022, the Company acquired VDDTech for $ 1.9 million in cash and stock , and in August 2 022 the Company acquired GeneSiC for $ 246.2 million in cash and stock. See Note 18, Business Combinations, for more information.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of a former Joint Venture, an entity in which the Company has a controlling interest (see Note 19, Noncontrolling Interest). The Company reports noncontrolling interests of the consolidated entities as a component of equity separate from the Company’s equity. All material intercompany transactions between and among the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidation. The Company’s net income (loss) excludes income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the assumptions used in making estimates, including those related to (i) the collectability of accounts receivable; (ii) write-down for excess and obsolete inventory; (iii) warranty obligations; (iv) the value assigned to and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; (v) the realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities and tax reserves; (vi) recoverability of intangible assets; (vii) the computation of share-based compensation; (viii) accrued compensation and other expenses; and (ix) the recognition of revenue. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists to assist with estimates related to the valuation of intangible assets, stock options, restricted common stock awards, Earnout Shares and warrants. Such
F-10
NAVITAS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022 and 2021
estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and models, and significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Segment Reporting
The Company is organized and operates as one reportable segment, the design, development, manufacture and marketing of integrated circuits and related components for use primarily in mobile device and other markets. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle of depicting the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
Product revenues consist of sales to distributors, original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and merchant power supply manufacturers. The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company has concluded that its contracts are with the distributor as the Company holds a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of its consideration of the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk). If the Company concludes that the customer has the ability to pay, a contract has been established. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company has entered into warrant agreements for preferred and common stock with certain investors who are downstream users of the Company’s products. The Company considers the warrants, which are subject to the achievement of revenue-based performance incentives, to be a form of consideration payable to customers. Accordingly, any value attributable to the warrants is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price.
The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further, in determining whether control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer.
When the Company receives orders for products to be delivered over multiple dates that may extend across several reporting periods, the Company invoices for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenues for each distinct product
F-11
NAVITAS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022 and 2021
delivered. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.
The majority of sales to international customers that are shipped from the Company’s or its vendor’s facility outside of the United States are pursuant to EX Works, or EXW, shipping terms, meaning that control of the product transfers to the customer upon shipment from the Company’s or its vendors’ foreign warehouse.
Sales to most distributors are made under terms allowing certain limited rights of return (known as “stock rotation”) of the Company’s products held in their inventory or upon sale to their end customers. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized upon the transfer of control to the distributor. Stock rotation rights grant the distributor the ability to return certain specified amounts of inventory. Stock rotation adjustments are a form of variable consideration and are estimated using the expected value method based on historical return rates. Historically, distributor stock rotation adjustments have been insignificant.
The Company generally provides an assurance warranty that its products will substantially conform to the published specifications for twelve months from the date of shipment. The Company’s liability is limited to either a credit equal to the purchase price or replacement of the defective part. Returns under warranty have historically not been material. As such, the Company does not record a specific warranty reserve.
Revenue received from customers in advance of the Company shipping the related product is considered a contract liability and is included in deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “ Business Combinations” . The acquisition method requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized and measured at fair value on the acquisition date, which is the date that the acquirer obtains control of the acquired business. The amount by which the fair value of consideration transferred exceeds the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
The determination of estimated fair value requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These fair value determinations require judgment and involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. As a result, we may record adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) with the corresponding offset to goodwill.
Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as they are incurred.
Valuation of Contingent Consideration Resulting from a Business Combination
In connection with certain acquisitions, we may be required to pay future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of specified milestone events. We record contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. Each quarter thereafter, we revalue these obligations and record increases or decreases in their fair value within our Statement of Operations until such time as the specified milestone achievement period is complete.
Increases or decreases in fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities can result from updates to assumptions such as the expected timing or probability of achieving the specified milestones. Significant judgment is employed in
F-12
NAVITAS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022 and 2021
determining these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Updates to assumptions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in any given period. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Inventory
Inventory (which consist of costs associated with the purchases of wafers from foundries and of packaged components from offshore assembly manufacturers, as well as internal labor and overhead, including depreciation and amortization, associated with the testing of both wafers and packaged components) are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company periodically reviews inventory for potential obsolescence based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Inventory items determined to be impaired are reduced to their net realizable values.
Stock-based compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period in the consolidated statements of operations for restricted stock awards. The fair value of restricted stock unit grants is typically determined using the Monte Carlo simulation method.
The fair value of stock option awards to employees and to non-employees with service based vesting conditions is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of an award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period in the consolidated statements of operations.
The option pricing model requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment in determining fair value of the awards. The most significant assumptions and judgments include the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate and expected term of the award.
The expected volatility of the awards is typically based on historical volatility of selected public companies within the Company’s industry. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximately equal to the expected term of the awards. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company currently has no history or expectation of cash dividends on its common stock. The Company has adopted the practical expedient for determining the expected term of stock option awards, which is the midpoint between the end of the vesting term and the expiration of the award. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company elected to treat share-based payment awards with graded vesting schedules and time-based service conditions as a single award and recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts
The Company records debt issuance costs and debt discounts, net of accumulated amortization, as direct deductions from the principal balance of its long-term debt to which they relate. Amortization is reported as a component of interest expense and is computed using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
Current income tax expense is an estimate of current income taxes payable or refundable in the current fiscal year based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences and carry-forwards that are recognized for financial reporting and income tax purposes.

December 31, 2022 and 2021
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, utilizing the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes valuation allowances to reduce any deferred tax assets to the amount that it estimates will more likely than not be realized based on available evidence and management’s judgment. In the event that the Company determines, based on available evidence and management judgment, that all or part of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, it would record a valuation allowance in the period the determination is made. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with the Company’s expectations could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns since inception are open and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. When necessary, the Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the balance sheet. The Company had no accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are reported as the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management performs an analysis of the current status of each individual customer account to determine the appropriate level for the allowance for doubtful accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, all receivables were considered collectible.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” , defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a hierarchy that categorizes fair value measurements into the following three levels based on the types of inputs used in measuring their fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” . The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The 8,433,333 warrants issued in connection with Live Oak’s Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”), the 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants and the Earnout Shares associated with Vested Shares are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments and earnout shares as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value for the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants as of each relevant date. The Earnout shares were valued using a Monte Carlo analysis. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of significant current assets or require the creation of current liabilities. There were no outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2022.
Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed for possible impairment in accordance with the authoritative guidance on goodwill, intangibles and other. The Company assesses possible impairments to goodwill at least annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash invested in highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents .
Foreign Currency Risk and Foreign Currency Translation
As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s primary transactional currency was U.S. Dollars. Gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of non-functional currency balances are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company realized a foreign exchange transaction net loss of $ 0.1 million in both 2022 and 2021.
The functional currencies of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are the U.S. Dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at the current exchange rates as of the applicable balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. Dollars at the applicable historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at either the average exchange rate prevailing during the period or historical rates as applicable.
Advertising
Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, are expensed as incurred and amounted to $ 0.1 million and $ 0.3 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Research and Development
Costs related to research, design, and development of our products are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense consists primarily of pre-production costs related to the design and development of our products and technologies, including costs related to contracted non-recurring engineering services. These expenses include employee compensation, benefits and related costs of sustaining our engineering teams, project material costs, third party fees paid to consultants, prototype development expenses, and other costs incurred in the product and technology design and development processes.
Emerging Growth Company
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards and, as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases” under ASC 842, and also issued subsequent amendments under ASU No. 2019-10 and ASU No. 2020-05 (collectively ASC 842), which supersedes lease accounting and disclosure requirements in ASC 840. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842 and the related amendments. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, on the consolidated balance sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company recognized approximately $ 1.6 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and $ 1.7 million operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets upon adoption on January 1, 2022.
Upon adoption, the Company elected practical expedients to: (i) not separate lease components from nonlease components for real estate; and (ii) exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term” leases) from the consolidated balance sheets and will recognize related lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term . See Note 7 – L eases for additional information and incremental disclosures related to the adoption of this standard.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU No. 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments — Credit Losses” under ASC 326, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss model for which a company recognizes an allowance based on the estimate of expected credit loss. This ASU requires entities to measure the impairment of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. For non-public business entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, and will be effective for the Company beginning in 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The accounting guidance on fair value measurements clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
The short-term nature of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, debt and current liabilities causes each of their carrying values to approximate fair value for all periods presented. Cash equivalents classified as Level 1 instruments were no t material for December 31, 2022 and $ 159.6 million as of and December 31, 2021.

7. LEASES:
The Compa ny has entered into operating leases primarily for commercial buildings. These leases have terms which range from 0.7 to 5.9 years. A s of December 31, 2022 no operating lease agreements contain economic penalties for the Company to extend the lease, and it is not reasonably certain the Company will exercise these extension options. Additionally, these operating lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As of December 31, 2022, finance leases were not significant and all leases recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were operating leases.
Upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022, the Company recorded operating lease assets of $ 1.6 million and lease liabilities of $ 1.7 million in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on retained earnings, the co nsolidated statement of operations, or cash flows. The Company obtained $ 5.9 million in additional right-of-use assets in exchange for lease obligations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Company has made the accounting policy election to use certain ongoing practical expedients made available by ASC 842 to: (i) not separate lease components from nonlea se components for real estate; and (ii) exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term” leases) from the consolidated balance sheets and will recognize related lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.
Rent expense, including short-term lease cost, was $ 2.1 million and $ 1.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition to rent payments, the Company’s leases include real estate taxes, common area

Options generally expire no later than ten years after the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon an optionee’s cessation of employment or service.
Under the terms of the 2020 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue 18,899,285 shares of common stock pursuant to awards under the 2020 Plan. As of October 19, 2021, the Company has issued an aggregate of 11,276,706 stock options and non-statutory options to its employees and consultants and 4,525,344 shares of restricted stock to employees, directors and consultants under the 2020 Plan. No awards have or will be issued under the 2020 Plan after October 19, 2021. Shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the 2020 Plan that are forfeited, expire or lapse after October 19, 2021 will become authorized for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan (as defined below).
The Navitas Semiconductor Corporation 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s board of directors on August 17, 2021 and adopted and approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting on October 12, 2021. Under the terms of the 2021 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue, pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Plan, (a) up to 16,334,527 shares of Common Stock; plus (b) up to 15,802,050 shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the 2020 Plan that are forfeited, expire or lapse after October 19, 2021; plus (c) an annual increase, effective as of the first day of each fiscal year up to and including January 1, 2031, equal to the lesser of (i) 4 % of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the conclusion of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such amount, if any, as the board of directors may determine. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has issued 9,750,000 n on-statutory stock options under the 2021 Plan.
Stock-Based Compensation
At the Closing of the Business Combination on October 19, 2021, Legacy Navitas’ outstanding vested and unvested share-based compensation awards (as such terms are defined below) were converted into equity, RSUs or options in the Company at a ratio of 1.0944 to 1 share (the “Exchange Ratio”). Share and per share information below has been converted from historical disclosures based on the Exchange Ratio.
The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation in its financial statements over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals a four-year vesting period, except for Long-Term Incentive Plan Stock Options discussed below. The Company uses estimates of volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield in determining the fair value of these awards and the amount of compensation expense to recognize. The Company uses the straight-line method to amortize stock awards granted over the requisite service period of the award, which may be explicit or derived, unless market or performance conditions result in a graded attribution.

The Company recognized no expense and $ 0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for vesting during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, based on grant date fair value per share of $ 1.06 . As of December 31, 2021, the awards were fully vested.
Restricted Stock Units
On August 25, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 4,135,000 Legacy Navitas RSU’s under the 2020 Plan to certain members of senior management pursuant to restricted stock unit agreements (collectively, the “RSU Agreements”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock of the Company, subject to the vesting and other terms and conditions set forth in the RSU Agreements and the Plan. Up to 3,500,000 of these RSU awards vest in three equal installments over a three-year period subject to the occurrence of an IPO (which includes the Business Combination) and certain valuation targets, subject to an accelerated vesting schedule based on the satisfaction of certain stock price targets.

The Company implemented a yearly stock-based bonus plan in 2021 and plans to settle accrued bonus liabilities of $ 2.8 million related to fiscal year 2022 (included in accrued compensation expense liability on the balance sheet), by issuing a variable number of fully-vested restricted stock units to its employees in 2023. Based on the closing share price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock of $ 3.51 on December 31, 2022, approximately 785,442 shares would be issued, however the actual number of shares will be based on the share price at the date of settlement .
Unvested Earnout Shares
A portion of the earnout shares may be issued to individuals with unvested equity awards. While the release of these shares require achievement of the Earn-out Milestones, the individuals are required to complete the remaining service period associated with these unvested equity awards to be eligible to receive the earnout shares. As a result, these unvested earn-out shares are equity-classified awards and have an aggregated grant date fair value of $ 19.1 million (or $ 11.52 per

10. WARRANT LIABILITY
In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, holders of Live Oak Class A ordinary shares automatically received Class A Common Stock of the Company, and holders of Live Oak warrants automatically received 13,100,000 warrants of the Company with substantially identical terms (“the Warrants”). At the Closing, 8,433,333 Live Oak public warrants automatically converted into 8,433,333 warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at $ 11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”), and 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and certain permitted transferees, each exercisable for one Class A ordinary share of Live Oak at $ 11.50 per share, automatically converted into warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at $ 11.50 per share with substantially identical terms as the Public Warrants. On February 4, 2022, the Company gave notice that it would redeem all of the Warrants, as further described below.
The Warrants were exercisable only during the period commencing December 7, 2021 ( 12 months after the consummation of Live Oak’s initial public offering) and ending on the earlier of October 19, 2026 ( five years after the Closing of the Business Combination) or, in the event of redemption, the corresponding redemption date. The Company had the right to redeem not less than all of the outstanding Public Warrants on 30 days’ notice, at a redemption price of $ 0.01 per Warrant, if the reported closing price of the Common Stock was at least $ 18.00 per share for any 20 of 30 trading days ending three business days before the notice of redemption, subject to certain other conditions. The Company also had the right to redeem not less than all of the outstanding Public Warrants on 30 days’ notice, at a redemption price of $ 0.10 per Warrant, if the reported closing price of the Common Stock was at least $ 10.00 per share for any 20 of 30 trading days ending three business days before the notice of redemption, subject to certain other conditions. If the Company elected to exercise the latter right to redeem the Public Warrants for $ 0.10 per Warrant, and the reported closing price of the Common Stock was less than $ 18.00 per share for any 20 of 30 trading days ending three business days before the notice of redemption, the Company was required by the terms of the Public Warrants to concurrently redeem the Private Placement Warrants on the same terms. In addition, in such event, hold ers of Warrants subject to redemption would have the right to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless” basis, whereby they would receive a fractional number of shares of Common Stock per Warrant exercised before the redemption date, based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days following notice of redemption (the “Redemption Fair Market Value”) and the time period between the redemption date and the original expiration of the Warrants in the absence of redemption.
On February 4, 2022, the Company issued a notice of redemption that it would redeem, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 7, 2022 (the “ Redemption Date ”), all of the Company’s outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that were governed by the Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2020 (the “ Warrant Agreement ”), between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), at a redemption price of $ 0.10 per Warrant (the “ Redemption Price ”). On February 22, 2022, the Company issued a notice that the “Redemption Fair Market Value,” determined in accordance with the Warrant Agreement based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which notice of redemption was sent, was $ 10.33 and, accordingly, that holders exercising Warrants on a “cashless” basis before the Redemption Date would receive 0.261 shares of Common Stock per Warrant exercised. The Warrants were exercisable by their holders until immediately before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, either (i) on a cash basis, at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share of Common Stock, or (ii) on a “cashless” basis in which the exercising holder would receive 0.261 shares of Common Stock per Warrant exercised. Between December 7, 2021 (the date the Warrants became exercisable) and the Redemption Date, an aggregate of 12,722,773 Warrants were exercised (including 17,785 on a cash basis and 12,704,988 on a “cashless” basis); an aggregate of 3,333,650 shares of Common Stock were issued upon exercise of the Warrants (including 17,785 shares in respect of

cash exercises and 3,315,865 shares in respect of “cashless” exercises). A total of 377,187 Warrants remained outstanding and unexercised at the Redemption Date and were redeemed for an aggregate Redemption Price of $ 38 . Prior to the redemption date, the warrants had an aggregate fair value of $ 81.4 million which resulted in a gain of $ 51.8 million due to the decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability in fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. There were no outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2022
11. EARNOUT LIABILITY
Certain of the Company’s stockholders are entitled to receive up to 10,000,000 Earnout Shares of the Company’s Class A common stock if the Earnout Milestones are met. The Earnout Milestones represents three independent criteria, each of which entitles the eligible stockholders to 3,333,333 earn-out shares per milestone met. Each Earnout Milestone is considered met if at any time 150 days following the Business Combination and prior to October 19, 2026, the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $ 12.50 , $ 17.00 or $ 20.00 for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period, respectively. Further, the Earnout Milestones are also considered to be met if the Company undergoes a Sale. A Sale is defined as the occurrence of any of the following: (i) engage in a “going private” transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act or otherwise cease to be subject to reporting obligations under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) Class A common stock cease to be listed on a national security exchange, other than for the failure to satisfy minimum listing requirements under applicable stock exchange rules; or (iii) change of ownership (including a merger or consolidation) or approval of a plan for complete liquidation or dissolution.
These earnout shares have been categorized into two components: (i) the “Vested Shares” - those associated with stockholders with vested equity at the closing of the Business Combination that will be earned upon achievement of the Earnout Milestones and (ii) the “Unvested Shares” - those associated with stockholders with unvested equity at the closing of the Business Combination that will be earned over the remaining service period with the Company on their unvested equity shares and upon achievement of the Earnout Milestones. The Vested Shares are classified as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and the Unvested Shares are equity-classified share-based compensation to be recognized over time (see Note 9 - Share-based Compensation). The earnout liability was initially measured at fair value at the closing of the Business Combination and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of the earn-out liability is recorded as part of Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations.
The estimated fair value of the earnout liability was determined using a Monte Carlo analysis of 20,000 simulations of the future path of the Company’s stock price over the earnout period. The assumptions utilized in the calculation are based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones including projected stock price, volatility, and risk-free rate. The valuation model utilized the following assumptions:
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Risk-free interest rate 4.13 % 1.23 %
Equity volatility rate 65.00 % 55.00 %
At the closing of the Business Combination on October 19, 2021, the earnout liability had an initial fair value of $ 96.1 million, which was recorded as a long-term liability and a reduction to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the earnout liability had a fair value of $ 12.5 million and $ 134.2 million, respectively, which resulted in a gain in the fair value of the earnout liability of $ 121.7 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 due to the decrease in the fair value of the earnout liability during fiscal year 2022.
GeneSiC Earnout Liability
In connection with the merger agreement of GeneSiC Semiconductor as discussed in Note 18, the Company will pay additional contingent consideration of up to $ 25.0 million, in the form of cash earnout payments to the Sellers and certain

employees of GeneSiC, conditioned on the achievement of substantial revenue and gross profit margin targets for the GeneSiC business over the four fiscal quarters beginning on October 1, 2022 and ending on September 30, 2023. The estimated fair value of the earnout liability was determined using a Monte Carlo analysis of 20,000 simulations assuming that GeneSiC’s revenue and gross profit margins follow a geometric Browian motion over the earnout period. The valuation model utilized an assumption on the risk-free interest rate of 3.1 % and equity volatility rate of 99.9 %. As of December 31, 2022, the GeneSiC Earnout probability is considered remote, and a liability of $ 0.6 million is recorded in Earnout Liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
12. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS
Customer Concentration
A majority of the Company’s revenues are attributable to sales of the Company’s products to distributors of electronic components. These distributors sell the Company’s products to a range of end users, including OEMs and merchant power supply manufacturers.
The following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues (in thousands):

Distributor G * 15 %
* Total customer net revenues was less than 10% of total net revenues.
Revenues by Geographic Area
The Company considers the domicile of its end customers, rather than the distributors it sells to directly, to be the basis for attributing revenues from external customers to individual countries. Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, were attributable to end customers in the following countries:

financial institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash or cash equivalents held at financial institutions. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
The following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable:

Distributor B 19 % *
Distributor C * 44 %
Distributor D * 14 %
Distributor E * 14 %
*Total customer accounts receivable was less than 10% of total net accounts receivable.
Concentration of Supplier Risk
The Company currently relies on a single foundry to produce wafers for GaN ICs and a separate single foundry to produce SiC MOSFETs. Loss of the relationship with either of these suppliers could have a substantial negative effect on the Company. Additionally, the Company relies on a limited number of third-party subcontractors and suppliers for testing, packaging and certain other tasks. Disruption or termination of supply sources or subcontractors, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic or natural disasters such as an earthquake or other causes, could delay shipments and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although there are generally alternate sources for these materials and services, qualification of the alternate sources could cause delays sufficient to have a material adverse effect on the Company. A significant amount of the Company’s third-party subcontractors and suppliers, including the third-party foundry that supplies wafers for GaN ICs, are located in Taiwan. A significant amount of the Company’s assembly and test operations are conducted by third-party contractors in Taiwan and the Philippines.
13. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares included in this calculation consist of dilutive shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, the assumed issuance of awards for contingently issuable performance-based awards, as computed using the treasury stock method. Performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock awards are included in the number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share after evaluating the applicable performance criteria as of period end and under the assumption the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, and the effect is dilutive. Restricted stock awards are eligible to receive all dividends declared on the Company’s common shares during the vesting period; however, such dividends are not paid until the restrictions lapse. The Company has no plans to declare dividends.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the valuation allowance increased by $ 7.8 million and $ 13.0 million, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income. In the event that the Company determines, based on available evidence and management judgment, that all or part of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, the Company would record a valuation allowance in the period the determination is made. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with the Company’s expectations could have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
The Company has approximately $ 146.9 million and $ 100.1 million of federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and approximately $ 4.6 million an d $ 5.8 million of tax-effected state NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, expiring in varying amounts through 2038, with th e exception Federal NOLs arising from the years ended after December 31, 2017 that may be carried forward indefinitely. Realization of the NOL carryforwards is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the NOL carryforwards and these NOLs could also potentially be subject to usage limitations to the extent there are future changes in the Company’s ownership. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. As a result of the 2022 acquisition of GeneSiC Semiconductor Inc. (see Note 18, Business Combinations), during 2022, the Company released $ 20.5 million of its U.S. federal valuation allowance. The release was primarily attributable to the $ 23.1 million of net federal deferred tax liability recorded on GeneSiC’s opening balance sheets that is available to offset most of the U.S. federal deferred tax assets of Navitas. As of December 31, 2022, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets as the Company believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be fully realized. The Company also has foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $ 111.9 million and $ 4.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of the foreign NOLs, $ 111.7 million are in Ireland and the deferred tax asset has a full valuation allowance as a result of the historical losses in the country.

Purchase Obligations
At Decem ber 31, 2022, the Company’s non-cancellable contractual arrangements consisted entirely of a contract to guarantee future production capacity, of which $ 1.6 million remains outstanding as of year end, and lease obligations.
Employment agreements
The Company has entered into agreements with certain employees to provide severance payments to the employees for termination for reasons other than cause, death or disability. Aggregat e payments that would be required to be made in the event of termination under the agreements are approximately $ 2.1 million. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, no terminations have occurred or are expected to occur pursuant to the se arrangements and, accordingly, no termination benefits have been accrued.
Indemnification
The Company sells products to its distributors under contracts, collectively referred to as Distributor Sales Agreements (DSA). Each DSA contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the distributor, and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the distributor against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the distributor in the event the Company’s products are found to infringe upon a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of a third party (Customer Indemnification). The DSA generally limits the scope of and remedies for the Customer Indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects, including, but not limited to, limitations based on time and geography, and a right to replace an infringing product. The Company also, from time to time, has granted a specific indemnification right to individual customers.
The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to such indemnifications. In addition, the Company requires its employees to sign a proprietary information and inventions agreement, which assigns the rights to its employees’ development work to the Company. To date, the Company has not had to reimburse any of its distributors or end customers for any losses related to these indemnifications and no material claims were outstanding as of December 31, 2022. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnifications.
Legal proceedings and contingencies
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company may become involved in lawsuits, or end customers, distributors, suppliers or other third parties may make claims against the Company. The Company makes a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company is not currently subject to any pending actions or regulatory proceedings that either individually or in the aggregate are expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

18. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Acquisition of VDDTech srl
On June 10, 2022, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Navitas Semiconductor Limited, acquired all of the stock of VDDTECH srl, a private Belgian company (“VDDTech”) for approximately $ 1.9 million in cash and stock. Based in Mont-saint-Guibert, Belgium, VDDTech creates advanced digital-isolators for next-generation power conversion. VDDTech’s net assets and operating results since the acquisition date are inc luded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and were not material. Among shares issued in the transaction, the Company issued approximately 113,000 restricted shares that are subject to time based vesting and issued approximately 151,000 restricted shares that are subject to time and performance based vesting over the next four and three years , respectively. These restricted shares are subject to certain individuals maintaining employment with the Company and, therefore, are accounted for under ASC 718.
The Company recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible assets and liabilities of $ 1.2 million was recorded as goodwill as of June 30, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, a preliminary valuation of the intangible assets acquired was calculated at $ 1.2 million . During the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 the Company reclassed t he goodwill to an intangible asset. Upon a final determination of the purchase price and the final valuation of the intangible assets acquired, primarily including in-process R&D, the Company will allocate the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and adjust the excess purchase price allocated to goodwill as needed.
The fair value of the in-process R&D was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method, an income approach (Level 3), which converts projected revenues and costs into cash flows. To reflect the fact that certain other assets contribute to the cash flows generated, the returns for these contributory assets were removed to arrive at estimated cash flows solely attributable to the acquired technology, which were discounted at a rate of 18 % to determine the fair value.
Acquisition of GeneSiC Semiconductor Inc.
On August 15, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100 % of the outstanding shares of GeneSiC Semiconductor Inc., a silicon carbide (“SiC”) pioneer with deep expertise in SiC power device design and process, based in Dulles, Virginia. Total merger consideration was $ 244.0 million and consisted of approximately $ 146.3 million of common stock, $ 97.1 million of cash consideration, and potential future cash earn-out payments of up to an aggregate of $ 25.0 million which were fair valued at $ 0.6 million. The acquisition was

accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations” . The Company has determined preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These values are subject to change as the Company performs additional reviews of the assumptions used.
The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, certain legal matters, amounts for income taxes including deferred tax accounts, amounts for uncertain tax positions, and net operating loss carryforwards inclusive of associated limitations and valuation allowances, the determination of identifiable intangible assets and the final allocation of purchase price to goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist it in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period.
The following tables summarize the preliminary purchase consideration and the preliminary purchase price allocation to estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
Merger Consideration Fair Value ( in thousands)
Cash consideration at closing $ 97,116
Equity consideration at closing 146,314
Contingent earn-out 600
Total $ 244,030

Cash and cash equivalents $ 951
Accounts receivable 823
Inventory 1,539
Fixed assets 226

Total assets acquired $ 271,343
Liabilities assumed:
Interest bearing debt 16
Other current liabilities 2,749
Deferred tax liabilities 24,548
Total liabilities acquired 27,313
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired $ 244,030
Goodwill represents the excess of the merger price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the final amount of the goodwill recorded could differ materially from the amount presented. Goodwill is primarily attributable to assembled workforce, market and expansion capabilities, expected synergies from integration and streamlining operational activities and other factors. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The valuations of intangible assets incorporate significant unobservable inputs and require significant judgment and estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows. The Company recognized approximately $ 5.9 million of transaction costs in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. These costs are recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expense” in the consolidated statements of operations. The financial results of GeneSiC have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.
The fair value of developed technology was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method, an income approach (Level 3), which converts projected revenues and costs into cash flows. To reflect the fact that certain other assets contribute to the cash flows generated, the returns for these contributory assets were removed to arrive at estimated cash flows solely attributable to the acquired technology, which were discounted at a rate of 15 % to determine the fair value.
The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the distributor method, an income level approach (Level 3), which estimates the value of an asset based upon costs avoided through ownership of the asset. Estimated costs on projected revenues were made using historical data pertaining to sales to new and existing customers. The cash flow impact of projected cost savings, primarily avoidance of legal costs pertaining to new customers and lower commission rates applicable to existing customers than new customers, were discounted at a rate of 16 % to determine the fair value.
The fair value of the trade name and trademarks was estimated using the relief from royalty method, an income approach (Level 3), because of the licensing appeal of these assets, the Company estimated the benefit of the ownership as the relief from the royalty expense that would be incurred in the absence of ownership A royalty rate was applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible asset to determine the amount of savings, which was at a rate of 1% to determine the fair value.
The fair value of the patents was estimated using the relief from royalty method, an income approach (Level 3), because of the licensing appeal of these assets, the Company estimated the benefit of the ownership as the relief from the royalty expense that would be incurred in the absence of ownership. A royalty rate was applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible asset to determine the amount of savings, which was at a rate of 5% to determine the fair value.
The value of the non-competition agreement was estimated using the lost income method (Level 3). Because the non-competition agreement prohibits the covenantor from competing with the Company, the fair value of the non-competition agreement can be determined by estimating cash flows that would be lost if the covenantors were to compete. Based on this method we estimated a discount rate of 16 % to determine the fair value.
Discount rates for each respective intangible asset were determined by accounting for the risk associated with each asset, including required technology development and customer acquisition required to support respective projections, the uncertainty of market success and the risk inherent with projected financial results. The estimated useful lives were determined by evaluating the expected economic and useful lives of the assets and of similar intangible assets from

19. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
In July 2021, the Company formed a joint venture for the purpose of conducting research and development on technology in the area of AC/DC converters for chargers and adapters.
On August 19, 2022, the Company obtained control of the joint venture, and no consideration was paid pursuant to the Change of Control Agreement. The Company consolidated the fair value of the net assets of the joint venture as of August 19, 2022, and the Company reports noncontrolling interests of the joint venture as a component of equity separate from the Company’s equity. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest and net assets is based on preliminary estimates. The Company’s net income (loss) excludes income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests. The preliminary fair value of the joint venture was determined based on a multiple of future annual revenues with a discount rate of 30 %. In connection with the consolidation, the Company reacquired a patent license, which was fair valued at $ 1.0 million based on comparable transactions during the year, and will be amortized over a five year term. Goodwill of $ 3.1 million was recorded in connection with this transaction.
