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 third quarter of fiscal year 2026, we continued to execute on these strategic initiatives. Revenue exceeded expectations due to stronger-than-anticipated demand for our components shipping into smartphones, as well as a favorable mix of end devices. In PCs, we advanced our growth strategy by ramping our latest-generation amplifier and codec in mainstream platforms and sampling a new voice interface component for AI-enabled PCs. Multiple leading OEMs introduced PCs incorporating our amplifiers, codecs, and haptic drivers at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in early January.

In our general market business, design momentum increased across our portfolio of ADCs, DACs, and ultra-high-performance audio codecs, and we began sampling a new family of audio components aimed at broader markets. Finally, we announced a new family of automotive haptic components, which we view as a meaningful long-term growth opportunity.

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 judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

There have been no significant changes during the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025, to the information provided under the headings “Critical Accounting Estimates” and “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in our fiscal year 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday in March. Fiscal years 2026 and 2025 are 52-week fiscal years.

The following table summarizes the results of our operations for the three and nine months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, as a percentage of net sales. All percentage amounts were calculated using the underlying data in thousands, unaudited:

18

Net Sales

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased $24.9 million, or 4 percent, to $580.6 million from $555.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net sales from our audio products decreased $1.8 million, primarily driven by lower general market sales and declines in average sales prices ("ASPs") due to previously anticipated pricing reductions. This decrease was mostly offset by higher smartphones units. Net sales from HPMS products increased $26.7 million for the quarter versus the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to higher smartphone unit volumes, partially offset by declines in ASPs due to previously anticipated pricing reductions.

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 increased $77.2 million, or 5 percent, to $1.55 billion from $1.47 billion for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025. Net sales from our audio products increased $20.9 million, primarily driven by higher smartphone unit volumes and sales associated with latest-generation products, partially offset by declines in ASPs due to previously anticipated pricing reductions and lower general market sales. Net sales from HPMS products increased $56.4 million for the year versus the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to higher smartphone unit volumes and, to a lesser extent, increased sales of custom components in non-smartphone applications and higher general market sales. Declines in ASPs due to previously anticipated pricing reductions partially offset the increase.

International sales, including sales to U.S.-based end customers that manufacture products through contract manufacturers or plants located overseas, were approximately 99 percent of net sales for each of the third quarters and nine month periods of fiscal years 2026 and 2025. 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 53.1 percent in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, down from 53.6 percent in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, largely driven by ASP reductions due to previously anticipated pricing reductions, which were mostly offset by cost reductions.

Gross margin was 52.7 percent for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, up from 52.3 percent for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to a more favorable product mix. Additionally, ASP reductions due to previously anticipated pricing reductions were mostly offset by reduced product costs.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $113.6 million, an increase of $0.6 million, from $113.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. Significant drivers included increased employee-related expenses, partially offset by reduced product development and stock-based compensation costs in the quarter.

Research and development expense for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 was $326.5 million, a decrease of $4.8 million, from $331.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to reduced stock-based compensation and product development costs, partially offset by increased employee-related costs for the period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $41.6 million, an increase of $2.6 million, from $39.0 million in the 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 nine months of fiscal year 2026 was $120.0 million, an increase of $6.4 million, from $113.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to increased stock-based compensation, professional services, employee-related expenses, and software maintenance contract costs. The increase was partially offset by the absence of non-recurring lease impairment costs incurred in the prior comparable period.

Interest Income

The Company reported interest income of $9.5 million and $27.3 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025, respectively, and $8.4 million and $25.2 million for the three and nine months ended 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 $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended 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 nine months ended December 27, 2025, the Company reported other income of $0.2 million and other expense of $0.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024, the Company reported other expense of $0.2 million and $1.4 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

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 credits.

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

Our income tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $22.1 million compared to $37.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, 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.

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 third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2026 were lower than the prior periods presented due to U.S. R&D expenditures no longer being capitalized within GILTI (also known as net controlled foreign corporation tested income) beginning in fiscal year 2026, as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), enacted on July 4, 2025.

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.

Cash 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.

Net cash used in investing activities was $20.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 versus $111.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2025. The cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 was related to net purchases of marketable securities of $8.3 million and capital expenditures and technology investments of $12.4 million. The cash used in investing activities in the corresponding period in fiscal year 2025 was related to net purchases of marketable securities of $91.6 million and capital expenditures and technology investments of $19.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $240.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 and was primarily associated with stock repurchases for the period of $210.0 million. The cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 of $179.1 million was primarily associated with stock repurchases during the period of $161.0 million.

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 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.

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.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon the evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of 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 December 27, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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 (http://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 the third quarter of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, our ten largest end customers represented approximately 97 percent and 96 percent of our net sales, respectively. For each of the first nine months of fiscal years of 2026 and 2025, our ten largest end customers represented approximately 96 percent of our net sales. 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 quarter of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 90 percent for each of the first nine months of fiscal years of 2026 and 2025. No other end customer or distributor represented more than 10 percent of net sales for the three or nine months ended December 27, 2025, or December 28, 2024.

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 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 investigations and litigation that could result in injunctive or other relief that negatively impacts sales of their products, 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 their ability 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, our 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 accept 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, we have entered, and may again enter in the future, into customer agreements providing for exclusivity periods during which we may only sell specified products or technology to a specific customer. Even without exclusivity periods, the products that we develop are often specific to our 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 customers, including making us more vulnerable to significant reductions in revenue, margins, and earnings; pricing pressure; and other adverse effects on our business.

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.
