NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Cirrus Logic, Inc. (“Cirrus Logic,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not include complete footnotes and financial presentations. As a result, these financial statements should be read along with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 29, 2025, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on May 23, 2025. In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all material adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for those periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Moreover, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, requiring more consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures and expects to provide these disclosures in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregation of certain expense categories in the notes to the financial statements in order to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes references to software development stages, or “project stages,” in assessing the timing of software cost capitalization. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted using the prospective, modified, or retrospective ~~transition~~adoption methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted using the modified prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective adoption methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on financial statement disclosures.

3. Marketable Securities

The Company’s investments have been classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Marketable securities are categorized on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as “Marketable securities,” within the short-term or long-term classification, as appropriate, based on the original maturity.

The Company may sell certain of its marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated or actual changes in credit rating and duration management. 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 including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, changes in market interest rates and whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. As of September 27, 2025, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be impaired.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has determined that the only material assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio consist of money market funds, debt securities, and U.S Treasury securities, and are reflected on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets under the headings cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and long-term marketable securities. The Company determines the fair value of its marketable securities portfolio by obtaining non-binding market prices from third-party pricing providers on the last day of the quarter, whose sources may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value.

9The Company's revolving credit facility, described in Note 8 - Revolving Credit Facility, bears interest at a base rate plus applicable margin or forward-looking secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) plus 10 basis points plus applicable margin. As of December 27, 2025, there are no amounts drawn under the facility and the fair value is zero.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The Company recognizes both the gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and the gains and losses on the remeasurement of non-functional currency assets and liabilities within “Other income (expense)” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these foreign currency derivative instruments.

As of ~~September~~December 27, 2025, the Company held one foreign currency forward contract denominated in British Pound Sterling with a notional value of $1918.25 million. The fair value of this contract was not material as of ~~September~~December 27, 2025.

8. Revolving Credit Facility

On July 8, 2021, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 8, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Revolving Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by all of Cirrus Logic’s material domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of Cirrus Logic and any Subsidiary Guarantors, except for certain excluded assets.

On March 20, 2023, the Company, entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Second Amended Credit Agreement, with the lending institutions party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment updates the benchmark interest rate provisions to replace the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) with Term SOFR, for the purposes of calculating interest under the terms of the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may bear interest, at Cirrus Logic’s election, at either (a) a base rate plus the applicable margin (“Base Rate Loans”) or (b) a Term SOFR rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0% to 0.75% per annum for Base Rate Loans and 1.00% to 1.75% per annum for SOFR Loans based on the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”). A Commitment Fee accrues at a rate per annum ranging from 0.175% to 0.275% (based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) on the average daily unused portion of the commitment of the lenders.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants providing that (a) the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness (minus up to $200 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available on such date) to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters must not be greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio”) and (b) the ratio of consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters to consolidated interest expense paid or payable in cash for the prior four consecutive quarters must not be less than 3.00 to 1.00 (the “Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio”). The Second Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants limiting the ability of Cirrus Logic or any Subsidiary to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make investments, effect certain fundamental changes, make certain asset dispositions, and make certain restricted payments. Further, the Second Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of insurance, reporting requirements, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

As of ~~September~~December 27, 2025, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

10. Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is based on estimated effective tax rates derived from an estimate of annual consolidated earnings before taxes, adjusted for nondeductible expenses, other permanent items, and any applicable income tax credits.

The following table presents the provision for income taxes (in thousands) and the effective tax rates:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	December 27,			December 28,			December 27,			December 28,
	2025			2024			2025			2024

Effective tax rate	14.2		%	27.0		%	17.8		%	26.6		%

Our income tax expense was $22.1 million and $37.7 million for the third quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 13.6 percent and 24.5 percent, respectively. Our income tax expense was $63.9 million and $90.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 16.1 percent and 25.7 percent, respectively.

Our income tax expense was $21.8 million and $37.9 million for the second quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 14.2 percent and 27.0 percent, respectively. Our income tax expense was $41.7 million and $52.4 million for the first six months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 17.8 percent and 26.6 percent, respectively.

Effective tax rates for fiscal year 2025 were unfavorably impacted by a provision in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that required research and development (“R&D”) expenditures incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 to be capitalized and amortized ratably over five or fifteen years depending on the location in which the research activities are conducted, which resulted in increased GILTI inclusions in these periods. In addition, those periods were unfavorably impacted by U.S. tax rules related to refundable tax credits, including R&D expenditure credits available to us in the United Kingdom, that reduce the amount of foreign tax credits available to offset GILTI.

The effective tax rates for the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year 2026 were lower than the prior periods presented primarily due to ~~the~~U.S. ~~current~~R&D ~~quarter~~expenditures ~~enactment~~no oflonger ~~the~~being ~~legislation~~capitalized ~~commonly~~within ~~referred~~GILTI to(also known as ~~the~~net ~~One~~controlled ~~Big~~foreign ~~Beautiful~~corporation ~~Bill~~tested ~~Act (“OBBBA”~~income), ~~which~~beginning ~~was~~in ~~signed~~fiscal ~~into~~year ~~law~~2026 onas ~~July 4, 2025.

The Company records unrecognized tax benefits for the estimated risk associated with tax positions taken on tax returns. At September 27, 2025, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $32.1 million, all of which would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Non-current income taxes” in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of September 27, 2025, the balance of accrued interest and penalties, net of tax, was $13~~.3 million.~~

On July 27, 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. et al. v. Commissioner which concluded that the regulations relating to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements were invalid. In 2016 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”). On June 7, 2019, the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision of the U.S. Tax Court and upheld the cost-sharing regulations. On February 10, 2020, Altera Corp. filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States, which was denied by the Supreme Court on June 22, 2020. Although the issue is now resolved in the Ninth Circuit, the Ninth Circuit's opinion is not binding in other circuits. The potential impact of this issue on the Company, which is not located within the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit, is unclear at this time. We will continue to monitor developments related to this issue and the potential impact of those developments on the Company's current and prior fiscal years.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2017 through 2019 and 2022 through 2025 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

The Company's fiscal year 2017, 2018, and 2019 federal income tax returns are under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS has proposed adjustments that would increase U.S. taxable income related to transfer pricing matters with respect to our U.S. and U.K. affiliated companies. The final Revenue Agent’s Report asserted additional tax of approximately $168.3 million, excluding interest, and imposed penalties of approximately $63.7 million. The Company does not agree with the IRS's positions and has not accrued an additional liability. In July 2024, the Company entered the administrative dispute process with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“IRS Appeals”). WeThe ~~intend~~Company continues to vigorously dispute the proposed adjustments, including through ongoing discussions as part of the administrative process with IRS Appeals. If an acceptable outcome cannot be reached with IRS Appeals, the Company is prepared to pursue judicial remedies, which could take a number of years to resolve. Although the final resolution of these matters is uncertain, the Company believes adequate amounts have been reserved in accordance with ASC 740 for any adjustments to the provision for income taxes that may ultimately result. However, the ultimate amount of assessed tax, interest, and penalties, if any, could be material and may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in future periods. The Company is not under an income tax audit in any other major taxing jurisdiction.

However, if the IRS prevails in these matters, the ultimate amount of assessed tax, interest, and penalties, if any, could be material and may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in future periods. The Company is not under an income tax audit in any other major taxing jurisdiction.

11. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted effect of common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the basic weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic net income per share calculation, plus the equivalent number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. These potentially dilutive items consist primarily of ~~outstanding~~restricted stock ~~options~~units and ~~restricted~~outstanding stock ~~units~~options.

The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 27, 2025 and ~~September~~December 28, 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended				~~Six~~Nine Months Ended

Diluted earnings per share	$	2.4866	$	12.8311	$	36.6127	$	24.5969

The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three and six months ended September 27, 2025 were 65 thousand and 252 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive. The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 were 8 thousand and 229 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive.14

The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025 were 44 thousand and 167 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive. The weighted outstanding shares excluded from our diluted calculation for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024 were 228 thousand and 224 thousand, respectively, as the shares were anti-dilutive.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Capacity Reservation Agreement

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into a Capacity Reservation and Wafer Supply Commitment Agreement (the “Capacity Reservation Agreement”) with GlobalFoundries to provide the Company a wafer capacity commitment and wafer pricing for Company products for calendar years 2022-2026 (the “Commitment Period”). On February 18, 2025, the Capacity Reservation Agreement was amended (the “Amendment”) to define the quarterly spread of the remaining wafer quantities under the agreement.

The Capacity Reservation Agreement requires GlobalFoundries to provide, and the Company to purchase, a defined number of wafers on a quarterly basis for the Commitment Period, subject to shortfall payments. In exchange for GlobalFoundries’ capacity commitment, the Company paid a $60 million non-refundable capacity reservation fee, which is amortized over the Commitment Period. The balance of this reservation fee is $1210 million as of ~~September~~December 27, 2025, and is recorded in “Other current assets” ~~and “Other assets”~~ on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets ~~within the short-term or long-term classification, as appropriate~~. In addition, the Company pre-paid GlobalFoundries $195 million for future wafer purchases, which are credited back to the Company as a portion of the price of wafers purchased, which began in the Company's second fiscal quarter of 2024. The balance of the prepayment is $4533 million at ~~September~~December 27, 2025, and is currently recorded in “Prepaid wafers” on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Lease Agreement

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company commenced a 10-year operating lease for corporate office space in Greensboro, North Carolina. As a result, the Company recognized a liability of $4.8 million for future lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use lease asset. Lease liabilities and right-of-use lease assets are presented separately on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of September 27, 2025.

13. Legal Matters

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities. We regularly evaluate the status of legal proceedings in which we are involved in order to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred, and to determine if accruals are appropriate. We further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made.

Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that there are any pending matters that could potentially have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we are engaged in various legal actions in the normal course of business. There can be no assurances in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in any potential legal proceedings, some of which are beyond our control, and an adverse outcome in any legal proceeding could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

14. Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

The Company issued a net 0.16 million and 0.7 million shares of common stock during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 27, 2025, respectively, and issued a net 0.27 million and 01.40 million shares of common stock for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 28, 2024, respectively, pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plans.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's net stock repurchases are subject to a 1 percent excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act, which is included as a reduction to accumulated earnings in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Stockholders' Equity. As of ~~September~~December 27, 2025, approximately $1.32 million is accrued related to this excise tax. Disclosure of repurchased amounts and related average costs exclude the impact of excise taxes.

In July 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's stock. During the three months ended June 28, 2025, the Company completed share repurchases under the 2022 authorization. In March 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500 million of the Company's common stock. As of ~~September~~December 27, 2025, approximately $85155.9 million of the Company's common stock has been repurchased, leaving approximately $~~414~~344.1 million available for repurchase under the 2025 authorization. During the three months ended September 27, 2025, the Company repurchased 0.4 million shares of the Company's common stock for $40.0 million, at an average cost of $110.55 per share under the 2025 authorization.

15. Segment Information

We determine our operating segments in accordance with FASB guidelines. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) under these guidelines.

The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment, but reports revenue in two product lines, Audio and HPMS. Our CEO receives and uses enterprise-wide financial information to assess financial performance and allocate resources. Our product lines have similar characteristics and customers and share operations support functions such as sales, public relations, supply chain management, various research and development and engineering support, in addition to the general and administrative functions of human resources, legal, finance and information technology. Therefore, there is no complete, discrete financial information maintained for these product lines. Revenue by product line is disclosed in Note 9 - Revenues.

complete, discrete financial information maintained for these product lines. Revenue by product line is disclosed in Note 9 - Revenues.

The CODM evaluates Company performance based on net income, and this information is used to measure profitability, make budgeting and forecasting decisions, monitor performance trends, and to compare actual results to forecasts. The CODM regularly reviews the consolidated statement of income and a disaggregation of operating expenses, with a focus on personnel-related and product development expenses. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

The table below presents the Company's significant segment operating expenses (in thousands):

Overview

Cirrus Logic, Inc. (“Cirrus Logic,” “We,” “Us,” “Our,” or the “Company”) is a leader in low-power, high-precision mixed-signal processing solutions that create innovative user experiences for the world’s top mobile and consumer applications.

The Company remains committed to our three-pronged strategy for growing our business: first, maintaining our leadership position in smartphone audio; second, increasing HPMS content in smartphones; and third, leveraging our strength in audio and HPMS to expand into additional applications and markets with new and existing components. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, we continued to execute on these strategic initiatives. We were delighted to see multiple smartphone customers introduce their latest generation devices featuring our audio and HPMS components. Outside of smartphones, we continued to execute on our plan to grow market share in the PC market. Progress in this space included securing our first mainstream consumer laptop design, expanding our collaboration with leading System-on-a-Chip (SoC) vendors, and developing new products with superior voice and audio capture capabilities. Additionally, we continue to focus on our general market business. During the quarter, we gained design momentum with customers on our latest-generation ADCs, DACs, and ultra-high-performance audio codec. We also received positive initial feedback on our family of analog front-end components targeting imaging applications and saw increased engagement on our latest timing product family. Looking forward, we are optimistic about the opportunities ahead of us as we continue to seek to leverage our mixed-signal design and signal processing expertise to diversify our product portfolio and expand our addressable market.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts. We evaluate the estimates on an ongoing basis. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making

Net Sales

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased $19.1 million, or 4 percent, to $561.0 million from $541.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net sales from our audio products increased $1.6 million, primarily driven by higher smartphone unit volumes in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 and sales associated with latest-generation products, partially offset by declines in average sales prices (“ASPs”). Net sales from HPMS products increased $17.5 million for the quarter versus the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to higher general market sales, smartphone unit volumes and sales associated with latest-generation products, partially offset by declines in ASPs.

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 increased $52.3 million, or 6 percent, to $968.2 million from $915.9 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2025. Net sales from our audio products increased $22.7 million, primarily driven by higher smartphone unit volumes and sales associated with latest-generation products, partially offset by declines in ASPs. Net sales from HPMS products increased $29.7 million for the year versus the first six months of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to higher general market sales, smartphone unit volumes, and sales associated with latest-generation products, partially offset by declines in ASPs.

International sales, including sales to U.S.-based end customers that manufacture products through contract manufacturers or plants located overseas, were approximately 99 percent and 100 percent of net sales for the second quarters of

~~fiscal~~Net ~~years 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 99 percent for each of the first six month periods of fiscal years 2026 and 2025. Our sales are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars.~~Sales

Our sales are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars.

Since the components we produce are largely proprietary, we consider our end customer to be the entity specifying the use of our component in their design. These end customers may purchase our products directly from us, through distributors, or third-party manufacturers contracted to produce their designs. For the third quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, our ten largest end customers represented approximately 97 percent and 96 percent, of our net sales, respectively, and 96 percent of our net sales for each of the first nine months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025.

We had one end customer, Apple Inc., that purchased through multiple contract manufacturers and represented approximately 94 percent and 91 percent of the Company’s total net sales for the third quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 90 percent for each of the first nine months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025.

No other end customer or distributor represented more than 10 percent of net sales for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025 or December 28, 2024.

For more information, please see “Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors” — “We depend on a limited number of customers and distributors for a substantial portion of our sales, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from, or pricing on products sold to, any key customer or distributor could significantly reduce our sales and our profitability.”

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 5253.51 percent in the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal year 2026, updown from 5253.26 percent in the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal year 2025, largely driven by ASP reductions due to apreviously ~~more~~anticipated ~~favorable~~pricing ~~product mix~~reductions, ~~partially~~which were mostly offset by ~~higher~~cost ~~inventory reserves~~reductions.

Gross margin was 52.57 percent for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year 2026, up from 5152.53 percent for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to a more favorable product mix. Additionally, ~~partially~~ASP reductions due to previously anticipated pricing reductions were mostly offset by ~~higher~~reduced ~~inventory~~product ~~reserves~~costs.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $~~110~~113.06 million, aan ~~decrease~~increase of $20.96 million, from $~~112~~113.90 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal year 2025. Significant drivers included ~~reduced~~increased ~~stock~~employee-~~based~~related ~~compensation and product development costs~~expenses, partially offset by ~~increased~~reduced ~~employee~~product development and stock-~~related~~based compensation costs in the ~~current~~ quarter.

Research and development expense for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year 2026 was $~~212~~326.95 million, a decrease of $5.4.8 million, from $~~218~~331.3 million for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to reduced stock-based compensation, and product development, ~~and facilities-related~~ costs, partially offset by increased employee-related costs for the period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $3941.6 million, an increase of $12.86 million, from $3739.80 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal year 2025, due primarily to increased professional services and stock-based compensation costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year 2026 was $78120.30 million, an increase of $36.84 million, from $74113.6 million for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to increased stock-based compensation, ~~and~~professional services, employee-related expenses, and software maintenance contract costs. The increase was partially offset by the absence of non-recurring lease impairment costs ~~related~~incurred toin the prior comparable period.

Interest Income

The Company reported interest income of $8.9.5 million and $1727.83 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 27, 2025, respectively, and $8.4 million and $1625.82 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 28, 2024, respectively. Interest income increased in the current period due to returns generated from higher combined average cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances, compared to the prior period.

Interest Expense

The Company reported interest expense of $0.2 million and $0.57 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 27, 2025, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.57 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 28, 2024, respectively. Interest expense consists primarily of commitment fees associated with the Company's Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 8 - Revolving Credit Facility of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Other Income (Expense)

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 27, 2025, the Company reported other ~~expense~~income of $0.12 million and other expense of $0.52 million, respectively. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~September~~December 28, 2024, the Company reported other ~~income~~expense of an$0.2 ~~immaterial~~million ~~amount~~ and $1.64 million in other income, respectively. This activity primarily related to non-investment related income (expense) and remeasurement on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for income taxes (in thousands) and the effective tax rates:

Effective tax rate	1413.26		%	2724.05		%	1716.81		%	2625.67		%

Our income tax expense for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $2122.81 million compared to $37.97 million for the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal year 2025, resulting in effective tax rates of 1413.26 percent and 2724.05 percent, respectively. Our income tax expense was $4163.79 million and $5290.41 million for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 1716.81 percent and 2625.67 percent, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2026 were lower than the prior periods presented due to the current quarter enactment of the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions and extends or modifies several provisions initially enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Beginning with fiscal year 2026, the OBBBA permanently eliminates the requirement to capitalize and amortize U.S. R&D expenditures. A number of other provisions of the OBBBA, including modifications to existing international tax provisions, will take effect in fiscal year 2027. 20

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for inventory, capital expenditures, share repurchases, and strategic acquisitions. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations, cash generated from the sale and maturity of marketable securities, and available borrowings under our $300 million Revolving Credit Facility.

20Cash generated from our operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in working capital. Cash generated from operations was $499.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 versus $314.0 million generated for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025. The cash flow from operations during the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 was related to the cash components of our net income and a $55.8 million favorable change in working capital, primarily as a result of decreases in inventory and prepaid wafer balances (related to the Capacity Reservation Agreement), partially offset by increases in accounts receivables, and decreases in taxes payable. The cash flow from operations during the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025 was related to the cash components of our net income and a $57.4 million unfavorable change in working capital, primarily as a result of increases in accounts receivables and inventory, partially offset by decreases in prepaid wafer balances (related to the Capacity Reservation Agreement), income taxes payable, and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

~~Cash~~Net ~~generated from our operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-~~cash ~~items~~used ~~and changes~~ in ~~working~~investing ~~capital.

The cash used in investing activities in~~ the ~~corresponding~~ period ~~in fiscal year 2025 was related to net purchases~~ of ~~marketable securities of~~ $59161.20 million ~~and capital expenditures and technology investments of $12~~.~~9 million.~~

Net cash used in financing activities was $140.3 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2026 and was primarily associated with stock repurchases for the period of $140.0 million. The cash used in financing activities during the first six months of fiscal year 2025 of $80.4 million was primarily associated with stock repurchases during the period of $91.0 million, partially offset by $10.6 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, primarily related to stock option exercises.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of sales growth, market acceptance of our products, the timing and extent of research and development projects, potential future acquisitions of companies or technologies, inventory build, and commitments under the Capacity Reservation Agreement with GlobalFoundries (discussed further in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). We believe our expected future cash earnings, existing cash, cash equivalents, investment balances, and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements both domestically and internationally, in the short-term (i.e. the next 12 months) and in the long-term, although we could be required, or could elect, to seek additional funding prior to that time.

Revolving Credit Facility

On July 8, 2021, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Second Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility matures on July 8, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Revolving Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by all of Cirrus Logic’s material domestic subsidiaries (“Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of Cirrus Logic and any Subsidiary Guarantors, except for certain excluded assets.

On March 20, 2023, the Company, entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Second Amended Credit Agreement, with the lending institutions party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment updates the benchmark interest rate provisions to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR, for the purposes of calculating interest under the terms of the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

~~As of September 27, 2025, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.~~ 21

As of December 27, 2025, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants under the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

See Note 8 — Revolving Credit Facility of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information including material terms and related covenants.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks associated with interest rates on our debt securities, currency movements on non-functional currency assets and liabilities, and the effect of market factors on the value of our marketable securities. 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. We use forward contracts to manage exposure to foreign currency exchange risk attributable to certain non-U.S. dollar balance sheet exposures. Gains and losses from these foreign currency forward contracts are recognized currently in earnings along with the gains and losses resulting from remeasuring the underlying exposures. Information about our market risks as of December 27, 2025, does not materially differ from the description of our market risks included in “Part II – Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” within our fiscal year 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on May 23, 2025. For related financial statement impact see Note 5 - Derivative Financial Instruments of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Based upon the evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September~~December 27, 2025.

Changes in control over financial reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~September~~December 27, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information regarding legal proceedings to which the Company is a party is set forth in Note 13 – Legal Matters to our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In evaluating all forward-looking statements, you should specifically consider risk factors that may cause actual results to vary from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Various risk factors associated with our business are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2025, as filed with the Commission on May 23, 2025, and available at www.sec.gov. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to those risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025.

We depend on a limited number of customers and distributors for a substantial portion of our sales, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from, or pricing on products sold to, any key customer or distributor could significantly reduce our sales and our profitability.

While we generate sales from a broad base of customers worldwide, the loss of any of our key customers, or a significant reduction in sales or selling prices to any key customer, or reductions in selling prices made to retain key customer relationships, would significantly reduce our revenue, margins and earnings and adversely affect our business. For each of the second quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, our ten largest end customers represented approximately 97 percent of our net sales. For the first six months of fiscal years of 2026 and 2025, our ten largest end customers represented approximately 97 percent and 96 percent of our net sales, respectively. We had one end customer, Apple Inc., that purchased through multiple contract manufacturers and represented approximately 90 percent of the Company’s total net sales for each of the second quarters of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, and 88 percent and 89 percent for the first six months of fiscal years of 2026 and

If We may not be able to maintain or increase sales to certain of our key customers for a variety of reasons, including:- most of our customers can stop incorporating our products into their own products with limited notice to us and suffer little or no penalty;- our agreements with our customers typically do not require them to purchase a minimum quantity of our products;- many of our customers have pre-existing or concurrent relationships with our current or potential competitors that may affect the customers’ decisions to purchase our products;- many of our customers have sufficient resources to internally develop technology solutions and semiconductor components that could replace the products that we ~~fail~~currently supply in our customers’ end products;- our customers face intense competition from other manufacturers that do not use our products;- our customers may be subject to ~~attract~~investigations and litigation that could result in injunctive or other relief that negatively impacts sales of their products, ~~hire~~which in turn would result in a decrease in demand for our products;- our customers regularly evaluate alternative sources of supply in order to diversify their supplier base, which increases their negotiating leverage with us and ~~retain~~their ~~qualified~~ability ~~personnel~~to either obtain or dual-source components from other suppliers; and- our current customers may be hesitant in some cases to award new business to us based on their desire to manage their supply chain risks around any potential over-dependence on a supplier or supply chain. In addition, weour dependence on a limited number of key customers may make it easier for them to demand favorable commercial terms or to pressure us on price reductions or to not beaccept ~~able~~price increases resulting from unexpected or additional cost increases or fees associated with our suppliers. We have experienced pricing pressure from certain key customers, and we expect that the average selling prices ("ASPs") for certain of our products will decline from time to time, potentially reducing our revenue, margins, and earnings. Our key customer relationships often require us to develop new products that may involve significant technological challenges. Our customers frequently place considerable pressure on us to meet tight development schedules. In addition, ~~market~~we have entered, orand may again enter in the future, into customer agreements providing for exclusivity periods during which we may only sell ~~our~~specified products or ~~successfully~~technology ~~manage~~to a specific customer. Even without exclusivity periods, the products that we develop are often specific to our ~~business~~customer's system architecture and frequently cannot be sold to other customers. Accordingly, we have in the past and may in the future devote a substantial amount of resources to strategic relationships, which could detract from or delay our completion of other important development projects or the development of next-generation products and technologies. Notwithstanding our efforts, our customers are not always obligated to purchase new products that we develop for them, and their failure to do so could have a material effect on our operating results, financial condition, and cash flows. Our reliance on certain customers may continue to increase, which could heighten the risks associated with having key

~~and development teams are located~~customers, ~~tightening~~including ofmaking ~~immigration~~us controls may adversely affect the employment status of non-U.S. engineers and other key technical employees or further impact our ability to hire new non-U.S. employees. Moreover, certain immigration policies in the U.S. may make it more ~~difficult~~vulnerable ~~for us~~ to ~~recruit~~significant ~~and~~reductions ~~retain highly skilled foreign national graduates of universities~~ in ~~the U.S. and abroad~~revenue, additionally limiting the pool of available talent. The Department of Homeland Security has proposed rules to amend the H-1B registration and selection process to implement a weighted lottery system based on wage levels. Under this proposalmargins, registrations for positions offering higher wages would be given proportionally greater chances of selection while lower wage levels would receive fewer entries. This proposed weighting system would favor higher-paid positions and ~~could~~earnings; ~~disadvantage~~pricing ~~employers,~~pressure; like us, seeking to hire early-career or entry-level engineers who typically qualify at lower wage levels. If implemented, this rule could further limit our access to qualified foreign technical talent and ~~increase~~other ~~uncertainty~~adverse ineffects ~~our~~on ability to secure H-1B employees. There are significant costs to the Company associated with attracting and retaining qualified personnel in key technology positions. Recruiting and employee costs, such as cash and stock-based compensation, have increased relative to historic levels and may continue to increase, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Further, the loss of the services of key personnel or our inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills or to assimilate talent could restrict our ability to develop new products or timely enhance existing products, sell products to our customers, or manage our business ~~effectively~~.

If we fail to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel, we may not be able to develop, market, or sell our products or successfully manage our business.

Competition for highly qualified personnel in our industry, particularly for employees with technical backgrounds, is intense. Some companies in our industry have adopted flexible remote work arrangements that provide more flexibility than our working arrangements, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage for talent. Accordingly, we expect competition for qualified personnel to continue to be intense because there are a limited number of individuals in the job market with the skills that we and our competitors require.

There also is a risk that changes in immigration laws and regulations, or their administration or enforcement, can impair our ability to attract and retain qualified engineering personnel. In the U.S., where a significant portion of our research and development teams are located, tightening of immigration controls may adversely affect the employment status of non-U.S. engineers and other key technical employees or further impact our ability to hire new non-U.S. employees. Moreover, certain immigration policies in the U.S. may make it more difficult for us to recruit and retain highly skilled foreign national graduates of universities in the U.S. and abroad, additionally limiting the pool of available talent.

In December, the Department of Homeland Security finalized regulations amending the H-1B registration and selection process to implement a weighted lottery system based on wage levels. Under the finalized rules, registrations for positions offering higher wages receive proportionally greater chances of selection, while positions with lower wage levels receive fewer entries. This weighting system favors higher-paid positions and may adversely affect employers, like us, that seek to hire early-career or entry-level engineers who typically qualify at lower wage levels. As a result, the rules may further limit our access to qualified foreign technical talent and increase uncertainty in our ability to secure H-1B employees in the United States.

There are significant costs to the Company associated with attracting and retaining qualified personnel in key technology positions. Recruiting and employee costs, such as cash and stock-based compensation, have increased relative to historic levels and may continue to increase, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Further, the loss of the services of key personnel or our inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills or to assimilate talent could restrict our ability to develop new products or timely enhance existing products, sell products to our customers, or manage our business effectively.

We could be subject to changes in tax laws, the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities.

We are subject to taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), where a number of our subsidiaries are organized. Due to economic and political conditions, tax laws in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. For example, many countries have started to implement legislation and other guidance to align their international tax rules with the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting recommendations and action plan that aim to standardize and modernize global corporate tax policy, including implementation of a global minimum tax (“Pillar Two”). These and other changes in tax laws and regulations may impact both our international and domestic tax liabilities and result in increased complexity and uncertainty and may adversely affect our provision for income taxes. Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. If our effective tax rates were to increase, particularly in the U.S. or the U.K., or if the ultimate determination of taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our operating results, cash flows, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Significant judgment is required in the calculation of our tax provision and the resulting tax liabilities. Our estimates of future taxable income and the regional mix of this income can change as new information becomes available. Any such changes in our estimates or assumptions can significantly impact our tax provision in a given period. For discussion of our income taxes, see Note 10 - Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1.

We are also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the U.S Internal Revenue Service

(“IRS”) and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations.

The Company’s fiscal year 2017, 2018, and 2019 federal income tax returns are under examination by the IRS. The IRS has proposed adjustments that would increase U.S. taxable income related to transfer pricing matters with respect to our U.S. and U.K. affiliated companies. The final Revenue Agent’s Report asserted additional tax of approximately $168.3 million, excluding interest, and imposing penalties of approximately $63.7 million. We do not agree with the IRS’s positions and we continue to vigorously dispute the proposed adjustments, including through ongoing discussions as part of the administrative process with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals. If an acceptable outcome cannot be reached with IRS Appeals, we are prepared to pursue judicial remedies, which could take a number of years to resolve. Although the final resolution of these matters is uncertain, the Company believes adequate amounts have been reserved for any adjustments to the provision for income taxes that may ultimately result. However, the ultimate amount of assessed tax, interest, and penalties, if any, could be material and may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in future periods.

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

(1) As of ~~September~~December 27, 2025, the Company has one active share repurchase authorization, the $500 million in share repurchases authorized by the Board of Directors in March 2025. Share repurchases are to be funded from existing cash and intended to be effected from time to time in accordance with applicable securities laws through the open market, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of repurchases and the actual amount purchased depend on a variety of factors including general market and economic conditions and other corporate considerations. The authorization does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. The Company's repurchases reflected in the table above were made in the open market and were funded from existing cash. All shares of our common stock that were repurchased were retired as of ~~September~~December 27, 2025.

The Company's net stock repurchases are subject to a 1 percent excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act, which is included as a reduction to accumulated earnings in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Stockholders' Equity. Disclosure of repurchased amounts and related average costs exclude the impact of excise taxes.
