Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The information included herein contains all normal recurring accruals and adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly Silicon Laboratories Inc.’s (the “Company”) financial position, results of its operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 1, 2023.
The Company prepares financial statements on a 52 - or 53 -week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2023 will have 52 weeks and fiscal 2022 had 52 weeks. In a 52 -week year, each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Among the significant estimates affecting the financial statements are those related to inventories, goodwill, acquired intangible assets, other long-lived assets, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements. The Company periodically reviews the assumptions used in its financial statement estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, the sale of mixed-signal integrated circuit (“IC”) products. This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon delivery. Unsatisfied performance obligations primarily represent contracts for products with future delivery dates. The Company has opted to not disclose the amount of unsatisfied performance obligations as these contracts have original expected durations of less than one year.
The transaction price reflects the Company’s expectations about the consideration it will be entitled to receive from the customer and may include fixed or variable amounts. Variable consideration primarily includes sales made to distributors under agreements allowing certain rights of return, referred to as stock rotation, and credits issued to the distributor due to price protection. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which it expects to be entitled. The estimate is based on information available to the Company, including recent sales activity and pricing data. The Company applies a constraint to its variable consideration estimate which considers both the likelihood of a return and the amount of a potential price concession. Variable consideration that does not meet revenue recognition criteria is deferred. The Company records a right of return asset in prepaid expenses and other current assets for the costs of distributor inventory not meeting revenue recognition criteria. A corresponding deferred revenue and returns liability amount is recorded for unrecognized revenue associated with such costs. The Company’s products carry a one-year replacement warranty. Payments are typically due within 30 days of invoicing and do not include a significant financing component.

The Company irrevocably elected to settle the principal amount of its 0.625 % convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in cash and intended to settle any excess value in shares in the event of a conversion. In June 2023, the Company paid $ 535.0 million in cash and issued 0.9 million shares of common stock in connection with the conversions and redemptions of the 2025 Notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, approximately 0.0 million, 0.7 million, 0.4 million, and 0.7 million shares, respectively, were included in the denominator for the calculation of diluted earnings per share (related to the not yet converted or redeemed 2025 Notes.) See Note 6, Debt , to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.Securities that were anti-dilutive were insignificant and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in all periods presented.
3.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are recorded using a hierarchical disclosure framework based upon the level of subjectivity of the inputs used in measuring assets and liabilities. The three levels are described below:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices in less active markets.
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Company’s own data.

Valuation methodology
The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments that are classified as Level 2 are valued using non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated with observable market data; quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices in less active markets; or pricing models, such as a discounted cash flow model, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated with observable market data. The Company’s foreign currency derivative instruments are valued using discounted cash flow models. The assumptions used in preparing the valuation models include foreign exchange rates, forward and spot prices for currencies and market observable data of similar instruments.

The gross unrealized losses as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were due primarily to changes in market interest rates. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no material unrealized gains associated with the Company’s available-for-sale investments.
The Company records an allowance for credit loss when a decline in investment market value is due to credit-related factors. When evaluating an investment for impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the severity of the impairment, changes in underlying credit ratings, forecasted recovery, the Company’s intent to sell or the likelihood that it would be required to sell the investment before its anticipated recovery in market value and the probability that the scheduled cash payments will continue to be made. As of September 30, 2023, there were no material declines in the market value of available-for-sale investments due to credit-related factors.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Fair values of other financial instruments
Prior to its conversion or redemption in June 2023, the Company’s debt was recorded at cost, but measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. The fair value of the Company’s 2025 Notes was determined using observable market prices. The notes were traded in less active markets and were therefore classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the 2025 Notes was $ 671.9 million. No notes were outstanding as of September 30, 2023.
The Company’s other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
4.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to the variability of foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s objective is to offset increases and decreases in expenses resulting from these exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts, thereby reducing volatility of earnings. The Company does not use derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The Company recognizes derivatives, on a gross basis, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. Cash flows from derivatives are classified according to the nature of the cash receipt or payment in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized. The reclassified amount is reported in the same financial statement line item as the hedged item. If the foreign currency forward contracts are terminated or can no longer qualify as hedging instruments prior to maturity, the fair value of the contracts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) may be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income based on an assessment of the contracts at the time of termination.
The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts for a portion of its forecasted operating expenses denominated in Norwegian Krone. As of September 30, 2023, the contracts had maturities of one to three months and an aggregate notional value of $ 2.0 million. Gains and losses expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months were not material. The fair value of the contracts, contract gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings were not material for any of the periods presented.
Non-designated Hedges
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on non-U.S. dollar balance sheet exposures. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the foreign currency forward contracts in interest income and other, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the same period as the remeasurement loss and gain of the related foreign currency denominated asset or liability. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these foreign currency forward contracts.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company held foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the Euro with an aggregate notional value of $ 7.4 million. The fair value of the foreign contracts and contract gains and losses recognized in income were not material for any of the periods presented.

Credit Facility
The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) have a $ 400 million revolving credit facility, as amended on June 30, 2023, with a maturity date of June 30, 2028. The credit facility includes a $ 25 million letter of credit sublimit and a $ 10 million swingline loan sublimit. The Company also has an option to increase the size of the borrowing capacity by up to the greater of an aggregate of $ 250 million and 100 % of EBITDA of the last four fiscal quarters, plus an amount that would not cause a secured net leverage ratio (funded debt secured by assets/EBITDA) to exceed 3.50 to 1.00, subject to certain conditions.
The credit facility, other than swingline loans, will bear interest at the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin or, at the option of the Company, a base rate (defined as the highest of the Wells Fargo prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50 % and the Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00 %) plus an applicable margin. Swingline loans accrue interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans. The applicable margins for the Adjusted Term SOFR loans range from 1.00 % to 1.75 % and for base rate loans range from 0.00 % to 0.75 %, depending in each case, on the leverage ratio as defined in the credit facility.
The credit facility contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which the Company must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default, including financial covenants that the Company must maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio (funded indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents up to $ 750 million and divided by EBITDA) of no more than 4.25 to 1, and a minimum interest coverage ratio (EBITDA/interest payments) of no less than 2.50 to 1. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the credit facility. The Company’s obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and the Guarantors. As of September 30, 2023, $ 45.0 million was outstanding on the credit facility.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation costs are based on the fair values on the date of grant for stock awards and stock options and on the date of enrollment for the employee stock purchase plans. The fair values of stock awards (such as restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”)) are estimated based on their intrinsic values. The fair values of market stock awards (“MSUs”) are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair values of stock options and employee stock purchase plans are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes includes both domestic and foreign income taxes at the applicable tax rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, research and development tax credits, global intangible low-taxed income, Subpart F income inclusions, and other permanent differences. Typically, the Company’s interim provision for income taxes is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete tax items. Under certain circumstances where the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate, it uses the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company used this approach due to the variability of the rate as a result of fluctuations in forecasted pre-tax income.
Income tax expense was $ 3.4 million and $ 14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 24.7 % and 40.3 %, respectively. Income tax expense was $ 23.5 million and $ 36.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and October 1, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 40.0 % and 35.8 %, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior period was primarily due to a decrease in nondeductible stock compensation and a delay in the application of unfavorable foreign tax credit Treasury regulations that was announced during the recent quarter, partially offset by the increased impact of global intangible low-taxed income relative to lower pre-tax book income. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior period was primarily due the increased impact of global intangible low-taxed income relative to lower pre-tax book income, partially offset by discrete U.S. federal and state return-to-provision benefits recorded in the recent nine-month period.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest, of $ 5.2 million, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not release any unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. These amounts were not material for any of the periods presented.
Following the completion of the Norwegian Tax Administration (“NTA”) examination of the Company’s Norwegian subsidiary for income tax matters relating to fiscal years 2013 - 2016, the Company received an assessment from the NTA in December 2017 concerning an adjustment to its 2013 taxable income related to the pricing of an intercompany transaction. The Company is currently appealing the assessment. The adjustment to the pricing of the intercompany transaction results in approximately 141.3 million Norwegian kroner, or $ 13.2 million, additional Norwegian income tax. The Company disagrees with the NTA’s assessment and believes the Company’s position on this matter is more likely than not to be sustained. The Company plans to exhaust all available administrative remedies. If unable to resolve this matter through administrative remedies with the NTA, the Company plans to pursue judicial remedies.
The Company believes that it has accrued adequate reserves related to all matters contained in tax periods open to examination. Should the Company experience an unfavorable outcome in the NTA matter, however, such an outcome could have a material impact on its financial statements.
Tax years 2015 through 2023 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company’s 2021 tax year is currently under examination in India. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that the results of the examination will not materially impact its financial position or results of operations. The Company is not currently under audit in any other major taxing jurisdiction.
The Company does not expect material changes to its gross unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.
11. Subsequent Event
The Company expects to incur approximately $ 6.5 million of restructuring related expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, consisting primarily of reduction-in-force severance charges.
