Overview



We are a leading supplier of infrastructure semiconductor solutions, spanning
the data center core to network edge. We are a fabless semiconductor supplier of
high-performance standard and semi-custom products with core strengths in
developing and scaling complex System-on-a-Chip architectures, integrating
analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing functionality. Leveraging
leading intellectual property and deep system-level expertise, as well as highly
innovative security firmware, our solutions are empowering the data economy and
enabling the data center, carrier infrastructure, enterprise networking,
consumer, and automotive/industrial end markets.

Net revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.5 billion and was 41%
higher than net revenue of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
This was due to an increase in sales from a majority of our end markets. Revenue
increased from the data center end market by 48%, from the carrier
infrastructure end market by 45%, from the enterprise networking end market by
53%, and from the automotive/industrial end market by 46% compared to the three
months ended July 31, 2021. The sales from the consumer end market were
relatively flat for the three months ended July 30, 2022 compared to the three
months ended July 31, 2021. The overall increase in net revenue of 41% was
primarily driven by an increase in demand for our products that led to higher
unit shipments. In addition, our average selling prices increased year-over-year
driven by relatively higher sales of products which had higher content and more
features.

In response to increased demand from customers for our products, our operations
team is continuing to ramp production with our global supply chain partners.
However, we are continuing to experience a number of industry-wide supply
constraints affecting the type of high complexity products we provide for data
infrastructure. These supply challenges are currently limiting our ability to
fully satisfy the increase in demand for some of our products. To secure
additional capacity, we entered into and continue to enter into capacity
reservation arrangements with certain foundries and test & assembly partners.
See "Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to the Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Securing capacity for growth remains a high priority for our operations team,
even as this supply expansion comes with an increase in input costs. As we have
done throughout this period of supply constraints, we are working with our
customers to adjust prices to offset the impact of these cost increases, which
lets us jointly benefit from sustained growth.

We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our business. While our offices
around the world generally remained open to enable critical on-site business
functions in accordance with local government guidelines, in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic we modified our workplace practices globally, which resulted
in many of our employees working remotely for extended periods of time. As a
result, many of our employees have expressed a preference to continue to work
from home two to three days a week post-pandemic. In response, we adopted a
hybrid work policy where most employees split their time between home and the
office. We expect COVID-19 to continue to impact our business, for a further
discussion of the uncertainties and business risks associated with the COVID-19
pandemic, see Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," including but not limited to the
risk detailed under the caption "We face risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic
which currently has, and may continue in the future to, significantly disrupt
and adversely impact our manufacturing, research and development, operations,
sales and financial results."

We expect that the U.S. government's export restrictions on certain Chinese
customers will continue to impact our revenue in fiscal 2023. Moreover, concerns
that U.S. companies may not be reliable suppliers as a result of these and other
actions has caused, and may in the future cause, some of our customers in China
to amass large inventories of our products well in advance of need or cause some
of our customers to replace our products in favor of products from other
suppliers. Customers in China may also choose to develop indigenous solutions,
as replacements for products that are subject to U.S. export controls. In
addition, there may be indirect impacts to our business that we cannot easily
quantify such as the fact that some of our other customers' products which use
our solutions may also be impacted by export restrictions.

Capital Return Program. We remain committed to delivering stockholder value
through our stock repurchase and dividend programs. Under the program authorized
by our Board of Directors, we may repurchase shares of stock in the open-market
or through privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which we repurchase
our stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon market conditions,
legal rules and regulations, and other corporate considerations, as determined
by our management team. We resumed our stock repurchase program in the first
quarter of fiscal 2023, which had been temporarily suspended in fiscal 2021 to
preserve cash during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the six months ended July 30,
2022, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of our common stock for $65.0 million,
including 0.9 million shares of our common stock repurchased for $50.0 million
pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. As
of July 30, 2022, there was $499.5 million remaining available for future stock
repurchases.

As of July 30, 2022, a total of 309.3 million shares have been repurchased to
date under our current and previous share repurchase programs for an aggregate
total of $4.3 billion in cash. We returned $167.0 million to stockholders in the
six months ended July 30, 2022, including our repurchases of common stock and
$102.0 million in cash dividends.

Cash and Short-Term Investments. Our cash and cash equivalents were $617.1 million at July 30, 2022, which was $3.6 million higher than our balance at our fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 of $613.5 million.



Sales and Customer Composition. Our accounts receivable was concentrated with
four customers at July 30, 2022, who comprise a total of 56% of gross accounts
receivable, compared with six customers at July 31, 2021, who represented 51% of
gross accounts receivable, respectively. This presentation is at the customer
consolidated level. During the three and six months ended July 30, 2022 and
July 31, 2021, there was no net revenue attributable to a single customer, other
than one distributor, whose revenue as a percentage of net revenue was 10% or
greater of total net revenue. Net revenue attributable to a distributor whose
revenue as a percentage of net revenue was 10% or greater of total net revenue
is presented in the following table:

                       Three Months Ended                            Six Months Ended

                       2022               2021                                                  2022          2021

Distributor:
Distributor A                 24  %         15  %                                                 22  %         17  %



We continuously monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and distributors
and believe these distributors' sales to diverse end customers and geographies
further serve to mitigate our exposure to credit risk.

Most of our sales are made to customers located outside of the United States,
primarily in Asia, and majority of our products are manufactured outside the
United States. Sales shipped to customers with operations in Asia represented
approximately 76% of our net revenue in the three and six months ended July 30,
2022, and approximately 80% of net revenue in the three and six months ended
July 31, 2021. Because many manufacturers and manufacturing subcontractors of
our customers are located in Asia, we expect that most of our net revenue will
continue to be represented by sales to our customers in that region. For risks
related to our global operations, see Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors,"
including but not limited to the risk detailed under the caption "We face
additional risks due to the extent of our global operations since a majority of
our products, and those of our customers, are manufactured and sold outside of
the United States. The occurrence of any or a combination of the additional
risks described below would significantly and negatively impact our business and
results of operations."

The development process for our products is long, which may cause us to
experience a delay between the time we incur expenses and the time revenue is
generated from these expenditures. We anticipate that the rate of new orders may
vary significantly from quarter to quarter. For risks related to our sales
cycle, see Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," including but not limited to the
risk detailed under the caption "We are subject to order and shipment
uncertainties. If we are unable to accurately predict customer demand, we may
hold excess or obsolete inventory, which would reduce our gross margin.
Conversely, we may have insufficient inventory, which would result in lost
revenue opportunities and potential loss of market share as well as damaged
customer relationships."

Our net revenue for the three months ended July 30, 2022 increased by $441.0
million compared to net revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2021. This
was due to an increase in sales from a majority of our end markets. Revenue
increased from the data center end market by 48%, from the carrier
infrastructure end market by 45%, from the enterprise networking end market by
53%, and from the automotive/industrial end market by 46% compared to the three

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
Our net revenue for the six months ended July 30, 2022 increased by $1.1 billion
compared to net revenue for the six months ended July 31, 2021. This was due to
an increase in sales from all our end markets. Revenue increased from the data
center end market by 81%, from the carrier infrastructure end market by 47%,
from the enterprise networking end market by 58%, from the consumer end market
by 3%, and from the automotive/industrial end market by 67% compared to the six
months ended July 31, 2021.

The overall increases in net revenue of 41% for the three months was primarily
driven by an increase in demand for our products that led to higher unit
shipment. The overall increase in net revenue of 55% for the six months was
primarily driven by an increase in demand for our products and the
year-over-year impact of acquisitions in fiscal 2022, with both factors
contributing to higher unit shipments. In addition, our average selling prices

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenue decreased for the three and
six months ended July 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended
July 31, 2021, which is primarily due to lower amortization of inventory fair
value adjustment. As a result, gross margin for the three and six months ended
July 30, 2022 increased 17.2 and 10.5 percentage points compared to the three
and six months ended July 31, 2021.

Research and development expense increased by $82.0 million in the three months
ended July 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2021. The
increase was primarily due to $76.9 million of higher employee personnel-related
costs as a result of headcount increases including new employees from our recent
acquisitions.

Research and development expense increased by $240.0 million in the six months
ended July 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021. The increase
was primarily due to additional costs from our acquisitions of Inphi and
Innovium in fiscal 2022, including $202.0 million of higher employee
personnel-related costs recognized in the current period.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $47.5 million in the
three months ended July 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended July 31,
2021. The decrease was primarily due to $30.3 million of lower integration costs
associated with our acquisition of Inphi in fiscal 2022 and $21.5 million of
lower intangibles amortization expense related to intangibles that were fully
amortized during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease was partially
offset by $2.5 million of higher employee personnel-related costs as a result of
headcount increases including new employees from our recent acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $28.3 million in the
six months ended July 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021.
The decrease was reflective of $65.5 million of lower transaction and
integration costs associated with our acquisition of Inphi and $32.1 million of
lower stock based compensation expense mainly related to accelerated vesting of
Inphi equity awards incurred in the prior year when the deal was closing. The
decrease was partially offset by $41.7 million of higher intangibles
amortization expense and $17.6 million of higher employee personnel-related
costs associated with our acquisitions of Inphi and Innovium in fiscal 2022, as
well as acquisitions in the current period.

Interest expense increased by $6.0 million and $7.2 million in the three and six
months ended July 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended July 31,

of debt issuance costs associated with the 2024 and 2026 Term Loans and 2026,
2028 and 2031 Senior Notes, partially offset by prior period costs associated
with the bridge loan termination.

Other income, net, increased by $5.4 million and $9.4 million in the three months and six months ended July 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended July 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to gain from equity investments.

Our income tax benefit for the three months ended July 30, 2022 was $0.5 million
compared to a tax benefit of $25.6 million for the three months ended July 31,
2021. Our income tax benefit $0.5 million for the three months ended July 30,
2022 differed from the 21% federal income tax rate, primarily because of
discrete income tax benefits for stock-based compensation. Our income tax
benefit for the three months ended July 31, 2021 differed from the U.S. federal
tax rate of 21% primarily because of the recognition of a $10.0 million tax
benefit for tax basis on the transfer of certain intellectual property from the
Inphi acquisition to a subsidiary in Singapore as well as discrete tax benefits
related to stock-based compensation.

Our income tax expense for the six months ended July 30, 2022, was $204.4
million compared to a tax benefit of $53.4 million for the six months ended July
31, 2021. Our income tax expense of $204.4 million for the six months ended
July 30, 2022, differs from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due
to the $213.6 million tax impact of the remeasurement of deferred taxes in
Singapore, offset by the recognition of discrete tax benefits related to
stock-based compensation. Our income tax benefit of $53.4 million for the
quarter ended July 31, 2021, differed from the 21% federal statutory tax rate
primarily because of the recognition of a $10.0 million tax benefit attributable
to Singapore tax basis in intellectual property, tax benefits related to
stock-based compensation, and benefits from expirations of the statutes of
limitations related to certain previously unrecognized tax benefits that were
recorded in prior periods.

Our provision for incomes taxes may be affected by changes in the geographic mix
of earnings with different applicable tax rates, acquisitions, changes in the
realizability of deferred tax assets, accruals related to contingent tax
liabilities and period-to-period changes in such accruals, the results of income
tax audits, the expiration of statutes of limitations, the implementation of tax
planning strategies, tax rulings, court decisions, settlements with tax
authorities and changes in tax laws and regulations.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of
future taxable income during the periods in which those assets become deductible
or creditable. We evaluate the recoverability of these assets, weighing all
positive and negative evidence, and provide or maintain a valuation allowance
for these assets if it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. If negative evidence exists,
sufficient positive evidence is necessary to support a conclusion that a
valuation allowance is not needed. We consider all available evidence such as
our earnings history including the existence of cumulative income or losses,
reversals of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and
tax planning strategies. In future periods, it is possible that significant
positive or negative evidence could arise that results in a change in our
judgment with respect to the need for a valuation allowance, which could result
in a tax benefit, or adversely affect our income tax provision, in the period of
such change in judgment.

We also continuously evaluate potential changes to our legal structure in response to guidelines and requirements in various international tax jurisdictions where we conduct business. Additionally, please see the information in "Item 1A: Risk Factors" under the caption "Changes in existing taxation benefits, rules or practices may adversely affect our financial results."

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our principal source of liquidity as of July 30, 2022 consisted of approximately
$617.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $431.3
million was held by subsidiaries outside of the United States. We manage our
worldwide cash requirements by, among other things, reviewing available funds
held by our foreign subsidiaries and the cost effectiveness by which those funds
can be accessed in the United States. See "Note 10 - Income Taxes" in the Notes
to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information.

In December 2020, to fund the Inphi acquisition, we executed a debt agreement to
obtain a 3-year term loan of $875.0 million and a 5-year term loan of
$875.0 million. For the six months ended July 30, 2022, we repaid $21.8 million
of the principal outstanding of the 5-year term loan.

In December 2020, we also executed a debt agreement to obtain a $750.0 million
revolving credit facility ("2020 Revolving Credit Facility"). During the quarter
ended July 30, 2022, we drew down $200.0 million on the 2020 Revolving Credit
Facility of which $130.0 million was repaid in the same quarter and $70.0
million of aggregate principal amount of borrowings remained outstanding at
July 30, 2022.

In April 2021, we completed an offering and issued (i) 5-year $500.0 million
senior notes due in 2026, (ii) 7-year $750.0 million senior notes due in 2028,
and (iii) 10-year $750.0 million senior notes due in 2031 (collectively, the
"Senior Notes"). On October 8, 2021, the Senior Notes issued in April 2021 were
exchanged for new notes.

See "Note 4 - Debt" in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.



We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, together with cash
generated from operations, and funds from our 2020 Revolving Credit Facility
will be sufficient to cover our working capital needs, capital expenditures,
investment requirements and any declared dividends, repurchase of our common
stock and commitments for at least the next twelve months. Our capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of sales growth,
market acceptance of our products, costs of securing access to adequate
manufacturing capacity, the timing and extent of research and development
projects and increases in operating expenses, all of which are subject to
uncertainty.

To the extent that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash
generated by operations, and funds available under our 2020 Revolving Credit
Facility are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise
additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing. We may also
acquire additional businesses, purchase assets or enter into other strategic
arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek debt or equity
financing. Additional equity financing or convertible debt financing may be
dilutive to our current stockholders. If we elect to raise additional funds, we
may not be able to obtain such funds on a timely basis or on acceptable terms,
if at all. In addition, the equity or debt securities that we issue may have
rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.

Future payment of a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common stock and our
planned repurchases of common stock will be subject to, among other things, the
best interests of the Company and our stockholders, our results of operations,
cash balances and future cash requirements, financial condition, developments in
ongoing litigation, statutory requirements under Delaware law, U.S. securities
laws and regulations, market conditions and other factors that our Board of
Directors may deem relevant. Our dividend payments and repurchases of common
stock may change from time to time, and we cannot provide assurance that we will
continue to declare dividends or repurchase stock at all or in any particular
amounts.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities



Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 30,
2022 was $526.3 million. We had a net loss of $161.4 million adjusted for the
following non-cash items: amortization of acquired intangible assets of $544.3
million, stock-based compensation expense of $275.6 million, deferred income tax
expense of $178.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $152.6 million,
amortization of inventory fair value adjustment associated with the Innovium
acquisition of $15.6 million, and $24.2 million net loss from other non-cash
items. Cash outflow from working capital of $503.0 million for the six months
ended July 30, 2022 was primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable,
inventory, and prepaid expenses and other assets and decrease in accrued
employee compensation, partially offset by increases in accrued liabilities and
other non-current liabilities and accounts payable. The increase in accounts
receivable was primarily due to increased sales, as well as the timing of
shipments due to ongoing supply chain challenges. The increase in inventory was
to better support unfulfilled backlog, future customer demand and new product
ramps. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets was primarily due to
prepayments on supply capacity reservation agreements. The decrease in accrued
employee compensation was due to bonus payout. The increase in accrued
liabilities and other non-current liabilities was mainly due to an accrual
related to a settlement in principle of a contractual dispute and an increase in
ship and debit claim reserve due to price increase and stock replenishment. The
increase in accounts payable was mainly due to timing of payments.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 31,
2021 was $208.4 million. We had a net loss of $364.6 million adjusted for the
following non-cash items: amortization of acquired intangible assets of $405.3
million, stock-based compensation expense of $206.8 million, amortization of
inventory fair value adjustment associated with the Inphi acquisition of $169.6
million, depreciation and amortization of $118.0 million, deferred income tax
benefit of $51.6 million, and $66.1 million net loss from other non-cash items.
Cash outflow from working capital of $341.2 million for the six months ended
July 31, 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable and
inventory and a decrease in accrued employee compensation. The increase in
accounts receivable was primarily due to increased sales, as well as the timing
of shipments due to ongoing supply chain challenges. The increase in inventory
was to better support unfulfilled backlog, future customer demand and new
product ramps. The decrease in accrued employee compensation was due to our
annual bonus payment.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities



For the six months ended July 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities of
$212.3 million was primarily driven by purchases of property and equipment of
$109.5 million, net cash paid for business acquisitions of $98.6 million, and
purchases of technology licenses of $4.2 million.

For the six months ended July 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities of
$3.7 billion was primarily driven by the net cash paid to acquire Inphi of
$3.6 billion, purchases of property and equipment of $53.6 million and purchases
of technology licenses of $6.6 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities



For the six months ended July 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities of
$310.4 million was primarily attributable to $171.7 million tax withholding
payments on behalf of employees for net share settlements, $151.9 million
repayment of debt, $102.0 million for payment of our quarterly dividends, $71.2
million payments for technology license obligations, and $65.0 million of
repurchases of common stock, partially offset by $200.0 million drawdown from
2020 Revolving Credit Facility and $51.4 million proceeds from employee stock
plans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



For the six months ended July 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing
activities of $3.3 billion was primarily attributable to proceeds from issuance
of debt of $3.8 billion, proceeds from capped calls of $160.3 million, partially
offset by $275.0 million repayment of debt principal, $180.9 million of
repurchase and settlement of convertible notes, $116.2 million tax withholding
payments on behalf of employees for net share settlements, $89.9 million for
payment of our quarterly dividends and $67.3 million payments for technology
license obligations.
