Key risks
The filing lists the following prominent business and operating risks:
- Global political and economic uncertainty and adverse conditions related to international operations could materially affect the business, financial condition and results.
- Third-party distributors represented approximately 56% of fiscal 2025 revenue and could reduce sales efforts for the company’s products.
- Demand and order-pattern changes, delayed, reduced or cancelled customer orders, and inventory management can affect results.
- Semiconductor-industry cyclicality, rapid technological change and fluctuations in end-user demand can affect the business.
- Availability of wafers, raw materials, manufacturing capacity and third-party supplier or subcontractor output may be insufficient.
- Recruiting, hiring, retaining and motivating enough engineers and other qualified employees may be difficult.

People and operations
As of November 1, 2025, the company had approximately 24,500 employees, including approximately 13,000 in engineering roles. It states that its manufacturing facilities are primarily in the United States, Ireland and Southeast Asia. The filing identifies internal production facilities in Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon and Ireland, plus assembly, wafer-sort and test operations in Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. It also uses third-party wafer foundries and subcontractors for assembly and testing. The company says sales have varying seasonality, with historically lower first-quarter sales because of shutdowns at some customers’ plants.
