These statements reflect beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by our management and information currently available to us. Although we believe that these beliefs and assumptions are reasonable, these statements are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected.

the impact of government actions and regulations, including as a result of executive orders, including restrictions on the export of products and technology;
increasing and evolving cybersecurity threats and privacy risks;
our ability to accurately estimate demand and match our production capacity accordingly or obtain supplies from third-party producers;
our access to production from third-party outsourcing partners, and any events that might affect their business or our relationship with them;

i.Automotive
Growth in automotive semiconductor sales relies on (1) global vehicle sales and production trends and (2) the increase in semiconductor content per vehicle. In the past few years, and going forward, we believe the latter will be the most important driver for growth in the automotive semiconductor market, while the stagnation of global vehicle sales and production will make the former less relevant. The increase of the average semiconductor content is being driven by the proliferation of electronic features throughout the vehicle, especially for advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), and by the increasing penetration of electrified vehicles, which have much higher semiconductor content. Furthermore, the evolution into new vehicle architectures that allow the implementation of software defined vehicles (SDV) is expected to help contribute to the increase of the semiconductor content per vehicle.

We believe three mega-trends will drive the semiconductor content increase in the future: Autonomous driving, electrification and SDVs. Each of the megatrends involve new functions and each new function requires new technologies. The path to full autonomy is driving the increase of driver assistance systems in the car already today. In the same way, strict emissions regulations as well as consumer willingness for energy efficient cars are accelerating the penetration of electrification. Last but not least, many consumers want their cars to be service oriented, hyper-connected, configurable and upgradeable, in the same way as they are used to with their smartphones. We expect such consumer demands will lead to new vehicle architectures and eventually to SDVs.

Semiconductor content per vehicle continues to increase due to government regulation of safety and emissions, standardization of higher-end options across a greater number of vehicle classes as well as consumer demand for greater fuel efficiency, advanced safety, multimedia applications and connectivity. Automotive safety features are evolving from passive safety systems to active safety systems with ADAS such as radar and vision systems. Semiconductor content is also increasing in engine management and fuel economy applications, like Battery Management Systems (BMS). Comfort and convenience systems and user interface applications, as well as infotainment features such as digital audio broadcasting are also areas with high semiconductor content increases. In addition, the use of networking in automotive applications continues to increase as various subsystems communicate within the automobile and with external devices and networks. Furthermore, we believe networking will play a key role in the electrical/electronic architecture transformation towards domain and zonal architectures. Smart car access, automotive Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Near-Field Communication (NFC) are gaining ground in automotive as well, enabling the connection of vehicles and car keys to portable devices and the infrastructure. Data integrity and security hardware features for safeguarding memory, communication and system data are also increasing in importance. 

Due to the high degree of regulatory scrutiny and safety requirements, the automotive semiconductor market is characterized by stringent qualification processes, zero defect quality processes, functionally safe design architecture, high reliability, extensive design-in timeframes and long product life cycles, which results in significant barriers to entry.

ii.Industrial & IoT
The world is becoming smarter, more connected and more data driven, and the Industrial & IoT market sits at the center of this global digital transformation. The Industrial & IoT market is highly fragmented with a diverse collection of products and applications such as factory automation, home and building automation, appliances, home entertainment, power and energy and healthcare solutions.

The need for productivity increase requiring real-time insights and efficient processes for factory automation, the reduction of resource consumption and better energy efficiency for smart factories and buildings, the enhancement in consumer convenience security and comfort for smart homes, the increase in performance requirements for processing content in smart consumer devices, the need for better health prevention and monitoring solutions, are some of the key use-cases and trends driving growth in Industrial & IoT. Carbon emissions reduction efforts (global net zero emission commitments) will also be a key growth driver with large transformations expected of our energy systems. Factories, buildings and homes will need to rely much more on renewable energy (e.g., solar, wind) and increase efficient use of energy. The way we generate and store energies will likely be more distributed. The energy ecosystem needs to develop and ensure smart, efficient and reliable power delivery.

These trends drive the replacement of traditional mechanical equipment by smart, energy-saving and connected electronic equipment using various sensors, processors, connectivity, analog and security chipsets that align well with NXP’s portfolio and ability to provide customers with system solutions across these applications segments.

Finally, with the growing number of connected devices and increasing data generation, latency, privacy and bandwidth have become critical limiting factors. Intelligent edge solutions solve this by bringing the intelligence closer to the source. Edge systems reduce the dependency on the cloud, lowering power consumption, strengthening data protection. They are, most of the time, autonomous and real-time. They handle data and do decisions locally. NXP's scalable low power solutions across the entire embedded processing spectrum are ideally suited here.

iii.Mobile
Mobile includes applications such as smartphones, feature phones, tablets, wearables and mobile accessories. NXP has a strong focus on mobile wallet, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and specialty custom analog solutions. The demand for faster speeds, improved battery life, fast charging, mobile wallets, highly secure localization and sensing technology, mobile transit and authentication is driving increased semiconductor content for NXP. The growth in this market is mainly driven by the increasing attach rate of these features across devices, vendors and regions, from flagship smartphones down to feature phones, from developed countries to emerging regions. UWB, thanks to its unique precision, robustness, and reliability, is emerging as a secure, fine-ranging technology capable of enabling a wide range of innovative location-based user experiences. The technology is gaining momentum thanks to wider chipset availability, adoption across various devices by multiple brands, and the formation of a strong UWB ecosystem across the whole supply chain where NXP is well positioned.

iv.Communication Infrastructure & Other
The Communication Infrastructure & Other end market is a combination of three different application markets, namely secure edge identification, 5G radio power and digital network communication solutions.

In secure edge identification solutions, NXP has extensive experience providing customers with solutions for applications demanding the highest security and reliability such as ePassports, eID credentials, transportation & payment cards. Included as well in this end market is the growing RFID market that uses wireless technology for identification and tracking of objects. Further digitalization of governmental services, the trend towards secure contactless payment and the need to improve tracking, traceability and authentication of products are driving demand across these applications.

Most countries in the world have migrated their wireless infrastructure to 5G network technology. This application market provides base station radio units with power amplifiers for improved signal throughput and efficiency.

Our solutions are developed to provide extreme levels of security of user information, undergoing stringent and continued global governmental and banking certification processes, and to deliver a high level of device performance enabling significant throughput and productivity to our customers.

viii.Sensors
Sensors serve as a primary interface in embedded systems for advanced human interface and contextual awareness that mimic the human “5 senses” interaction with the external environment. We provide several categories of semiconductor-based environmental and inertial sensors for the Automotive market, including pressure, inertial, magnetic and gyroscopic sensors that provide orientation detection, gesture recognition, tilt to scroll functionality and position detection.

Manufacturing
We employ a hybrid manufacturing model where we manufacture semiconductors through a combination of wholly owned manufacturing facilities, a manufacturing facility operated jointly with another semiconductor company and third-party foundries and assembly and test subcontractors. We manage our manufacturing assets together through one centralized organization to ensure we realize scale benefits in asset utilization, purchasing volumes and overhead leverage across businesses.

The manufacturing of a semiconductor involves several phases of production, which can be broadly divided into “front-end” and “back-end” processes. Front-end processes take place at highly complex wafer manufacturing facilities (called fabrication plants or “wafer fabs”), and involve the imprinting of substrate silicon wafers with the precise circuitry required for semiconductors to function. The front-end production cycle requires high levels of precision and involves as many as 300 process steps. Back-end processes involve the assembly, test and packaging of semiconductors in a form suitable for distribution. In contrast to the highly complex front-end process, back-end processing is generally less complicated, and as a result we tend to determine the location of our back-end facilities based more on cost factors than on technical considerations.

We primarily focus our internal and joint venture wafer manufacturing operations on running proprietary specialty process technologies that enable us to differentiate our products on key performance features, and we generally outsource wafer manufacturing in process technologies that are available at third-party wafer foundries when it is economical to do so.

Our front-end manufacturing facilities use a broad range of production processes and proprietary design methods, including complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), bipolar, bipolar CMOS (BiCMOS) and double-diffused metal on silicon oxide semiconductor (DMOS) technologies. Our wafer fabs produce semiconductors with line widths ranging from 90 nanometers to 3 microns for integrated circuits and 0.5 microns to greater than 4 microns for discretes. This broad technology portfolio enables us to meet increasing demand from customers for system solutions, which require a variety of technologies.

As part of executing our hybrid manufacturing model, we have initiated the consolidation of our internal wafer fabs to 300 millimeter factories. We believe this will enable economic and manufacturing efficiencies in the future. As part of this consolidation, we have made equity investments in the following joint venture manufacturing companies with the aim of facilitating this transition:
European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH will build and operate a new 300mm semiconductor wafer manufacturing facility in Dresden, Germany. ESMC is 70% owned by TSMC, with
8


Bosch, Infineon, and NXP each owning 10%. NXP is entitled to 10% of the fab facility capacity. Initial production at ESMC is currently targeted to begin in 2028.
VisionPower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Pte. Ltd. (VSMC) will build and operate a new 300mm semiconductor wafer manufacturing facility in Singapore. VSMC is 60% owned by Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation and 40% owned by NXP. NXP is entitled to 40% of the fab facility capacity. Initial production at VSMC is currently targeted to begin in 2027.

Our back-end manufacturing facilities test and package many different types of products using a wide variety of processes. To optimize flexibility, we use shared technology platforms for our back-end assembly operations. Most of our assembly and test activities are maintained in-house.

1    Joint venture with TSMC

We use a large number of raw materials in our front- and back-end manufacturing processes, including silicon wafers, chemicals, gases, lead frames, substrates, molding compounds and various types of precious and other metals. Our most important raw materials are the raw, or substrate, silicon wafers we use to make our semiconductors. We purchase these wafers, which must meet exacting specifications, from a limited number of suppliers in the geographic region in which our fabrication facilities are located. At our wholly owned fabrication plants, we use raw wafers ranging from 6 inches to 8 inches in size. Our SSMC wafer fab facility, which produces 8 inch wafers, is jointly owned by TSMC and ourselves. Emerging fabrication technologies employ larger wafer sizes and, accordingly, we expect that our production requirements will in the future shift towards larger substrate wafers.
9


We typically source our other raw materials in a similar fashion as our wafers, although our portfolio of suppliers is more diverse. Some of our suppliers provide us with materials on a just-in-time basis, which permits us to reduce our procurement costs and the negative cash flow consequences of maintaining inventories, but exposes us to potential supply chain interruptions. We purchase most of our raw materials on the basis of fixed price contracts.

In recent years, as a result of constraints in the semiconductor supply chains, there has been a tendency towards longer-term supply contracts with suppliers in exchange for capacity. From an operational perspective, all of our manufacturing facilities continue to operate around the world in accordance with guidance issued by local and national government authorities.

Sales, Marketing and Customers
We market our products and solutions worldwide through a combination of direct sales offices (hereafter “direct”) and independent distributors (hereafter “distributors”). Our regional sales offices enable us to maintain close relationships with customers, provide technical support, and manage strategic accounts. In addition, we leverage a network of authorized distributors who purchase our products and resell them to a broad range of customers. This dual-channel approach allows us to extend our market reach, optimize logistics and provide localized service while maintaining flexibility to address diverse customer needs. We generate demand for our products by delivering product solutions to our customers, and supporting their system design-in activities by providing application architecture expertise and local field application engineering support.

Our sales and marketing teams are organized into six regions, which are EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa), the Americas, Japan, South Korea, China and South Asia Pacific. These sales regions are responsible for managing customer relationships and creating demand for our solutions through the full ecosystem development. In addition, our sales and marketing teams in the regions partner with our distributors and our large number of mass market customers.

Our sales and marketing strategy focuses on key defined verticals in Automotive, Industrial & IoT, Communication Infrastructure, and Mobile. We aim to deepen relationships with our top direct customers, expand our reach to mass-market customers, startups and distribution partners, and become their preferred supplier. We believe that this approach helps reduce sales volatility in challenging markets.

For breakthrough technologies and new market opportunities, we look at the strategic fit and synergies with the rest of our portfolio and the size of the potential addressable market. Overall, we allocate our research and development to maintain a healthy mix of emerging growth and mature businesses.

Subsidies and Grants
We receive subsidies and grants from governments in some countries in the form of direct grants as well as tax credits for R&D activities. Such funding is generally provided to encourage R&D activities, industrialization and local economic development and is generally available to all companies. The conditions for the receipt of government grants and subsidies may include eligibility restrictions, approval by relevant authorities, annual budget appropriations, compliance with relevant regulations or contingent return provisions, as well as specifications regarding objectives and results. The approval process for such funding may last up to several years. Certain specific contracts require compliance with extensive regulatory requirements and set forth certain conditions relating to the funded programs. There could be penalties if these objectives are not fulfilled.

Our direct grants include those awarded under the European 2nd Important Project of Common European Interest on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies (“IPCEI ME/CT”) in multiple EU member states, the duration of which is planned to run until the end of 2029. The conditions to receive the IPCEI ME/CT government assistance include restrictions on eligible expenditures, employment retention, annual budget appropriations by the member states, compliance with member states’ regulations and project objectives and results, as well as repayment conditions. Our dedicated R&D teams across the involved member states under the IPCEI ME/CT program seek to innovate in core technologies across automotive, industrial and cybersecurity. This includes 5nm, advanced driving assistance in automotive, 6G, Wireless Interface Technology and UWB as well as AI, RISC-V and post-quantum cryptography.

Intellectual Property
The creation and use of intellectual property is a key aspect of our strategy to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace. We seek to protect our proprietary technologies by obtaining patents, trademarks, domain names, retaining trade secrets and defending, enforcing and utilizing our intellectual property rights, where appropriate. We believe this strategy allows us to preserve the advantages of our products and technologies, and helps us to improve the return on our investment in research and development. We have a broad portfolio of approximately 9,500 patent families (each patent family includes all patents and patent applications originating from the same invention). To protect confidential technical information and software, we rely on copyright and trade secret law and enter into confidentiality agreements as applicable. In situations where we believe that a third party has infringed on our intellectual property, we enforce our rights through all available legal means to the extent that we determine the benefits of such actions to outweigh the costs and risks involved.

We own a number of trademarks that are used in the conduct of our business. Where we consider it desirable, we develop names for our new products and secure trademark protection. Our trademarks allow us to further distinguish our company and our products and are important in our relationships with customers, suppliers, partners and end-users.

While our patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights constitute valuable assets, we do not view any individual right or asset as material to our operations as a whole. We believe it is the combination of our proprietary technology, patents, know-how and other intellectual property rights and assets that creates an advantage for our business.

11


In addition to obtaining our own patents and other intellectual property rights, we have entered into licensing agreements and other arrangements authorizing us to use intellectual property rights, confidential technical information, software and other technology owned by third parties. In certain instances, we also engage in licensing and selling of certain of our technology, patents and other intellectual property rights.

Competition
We compete with many different semiconductor companies on a global basis, including with both integrated device manufacturers (“IDMs”) as well as fabless companies. Nearly all our competitors invest extensively in research and development, manufacturing, sales and marketing capabilities across a broad spectrum of product lines. Many of our competitors are focused on single applications or market segments. Most of our competitors compete with us with respect to some, but not all, of our product lines.

Our primary key public competitors in alphabetical order include, but are not limited to, Analog Devices Inc., Broadcom Inc., Infineon Technologies AG, Microchip Technology Inc., Qualcomm Inc., Renesas Electronics Corp., STMicroelectronics NV and Texas Instruments Inc.

The basis on which we compete varies across end markets and geographic regions. This includes competing on the basis of our ability to develop new products and the underlying intellectual property in a timely manner to meet customer requirements in terms of product features, quality, performance, warranty, availability and cost. In addition, we are asked to deliver full system capabilities which include multiple NXP devices and enabling software. This requires in-depth knowledge of specific applications in target markets in order to develop robust system solutions and qualified customer support resources.

Seasonality
Historically, our net revenue does not display consistent or predictable seasonal patterns.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks related to the semiconductor industry and the markets in which we participate.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical.
Historically, the relationship between supply and demand in the semiconductor industry has caused a high degree of cyclicality in the semiconductor market. Semiconductor supply is partly driven by manufacturing capacity, which in the past has demonstrated alternating periods of substantial capacity additions and periods in which no or limited capacity was added. As a general matter, semiconductor companies are more likely to add capacity in periods when current or expected future demand is strong and margins are, or are expected to be, high. Investments in new capacity
16


can result in overcapacity, which can lead to a reduction in prices and margins. In response, companies typically limit further capacity additions, eventually causing the market to be relatively undersupplied. In addition, demand for semiconductors varies, which can exacerbate the effect of supply fluctuations. As a result of this cyclicality, the semiconductor industry has in the past experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing life cycles of semiconductor companies’ products and declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized by diminishing demand for end-user products, high inventory levels, under-utilization of manufacturing capacity and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. The foregoing risks have historically had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Significantly increased volatility and instability and unfavorable economic conditions may adversely affect our business.
It is difficult for us, our customers and suppliers, to forecast demand trends. We may be unable to accurately predict the extent or duration of cycles or their effect on our financial condition or result of operations and can give no assurance as to the timing, extent or duration of the current or future business cycles generally, or specific to the markets in which we participate. In 2008 and 2009, Europe, the United States and international markets experienced increased volatility and instability related to the global financial crisis. In the first half of 2020, demand in the automotive market steeply declined as a result of manufacturing shutdowns by automotive customers due to the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in an unforeseen negative impact to our results of operations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, demand rebounded across all end markets more quickly than anticipated and accelerated through the third quarter of 2022, resulting in our inability to fully satisfy customer demand. In the course of 2023, 2024 and 2025, our end markets experienced softening demand and uncertainty due to macroeconomic factors and geopolitical uncertainty. In the event of a future decline in global economic conditions, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected, and the resulting economic decline might disproportionately affect the markets in which we participate, further exacerbating a decline in our results of operations.

The semiconductor industry is highly competitive. If we fail to introduce new technologies and products in a timely manner, this could adversely affect our business.
The semiconductor industry is highly competitive and characterized by constant and rapid technological change, short product lifecycles, significant price erosion and evolving standards. Accordingly, the success of our business depends to a significant extent on our ability to develop new technologies and products that are ultimately successful in the market. The costs related to the research and development necessary to develop new technologies and products are significant and subject to increase due to current and expected inflation and any reduction of our research and development budget could harm our competitiveness. Meeting evolving industry requirements, including the increasing use of AI and machine learning technologies (including the need to run complex AI-based applications on devices), and introducing new products to the market in a timely manner and at prices that are acceptable to our customers are significant factors in determining our competitiveness and success.
In addition, AI and machine learning are still in relatively early stages, and the introduction and incorporation of AI technologies may result in unintended consequences or other new or expanded risks and liabilities. Such risks may include (i) adverse impacts from deficient, inaccurate, or biased AI recommendations, (ii) AI technologies the company develops and adopts may not meet market requirements or become obsolete earlier than planned, and there can be no assurance that the company will realize the desired or anticipated benefits, (iii) use of AI applications could increase the risk of cybersecurity incidents, such as security vulnerabilities, including unintended or inadvertent transmission of proprietary or sensitive information and unauthorized access, or (iv) there is uncertainty in the legal and regulatory landscape for AI, which is not fully developed, and any laws, regulations or industry standards adopted in response to the emergence of AI may be burdensome, could entail significant costs, and may restrict or impede our ability to successfully use AI technologies efficiently and effectively.
Commitments to develop new products must be made well in advance of any resulting sales, and technologies and standards may change during development, potentially rendering our products outdated or noncompetitive before their introduction. If we are unable to successfully develop new products, our revenue may decline substantially. Moreover, some of our competitors are well-established entities, are larger than us and have greater resources than we do. If these competitors increase the resources they devote to developing and marketing their products, we may not be able to compete effectively. Any consolidation among our competitors could enhance their product offerings and financial resources, further strengthening their competitive position. In addition, some of our competitors operate in narrow business areas relative to us, allowing them to concentrate their research and development efforts directly
17


on products and services for those areas, which may give them a competitive advantage. As a result of these competitive pressures, we may face declining sales volumes or lower prevailing prices for our products, and we may not be able to reduce our total costs in line with this declining revenue. If any of these risks materialize, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The demand for our products depends to a significant degree on the demand for our customers’ end products.
The vast majority of our revenue is derived from sales to manufacturers in the Automotive, Industrial & IoT, Mobile, and Communication Infrastructure end markets. Demand in these markets fluctuates significantly, driven by consumer spending, consumer preferences, the development of new technologies and prevailing economic conditions. In addition, the specific products in which our semiconductors are incorporated may not be successful or may experience price erosion or other competitive factors that affect the price manufacturers are willing to pay us. Such customers have in the past, and may in the future, vary order levels significantly from period to period, request postponements to scheduled delivery dates, modify their orders or reduce lead times. This is particularly common during periods of low demand. This can make managing our business difficult, as it limits the predictability of future revenue. It can also affect the accuracy of our financial forecasts. Furthermore, developing industry trends, such as customers’ use of outsourcing and revised supply chain models, including the direct purchase of semiconductor products by end product manufacturers instead of component manufacturers, may affect our revenue, costs, customer relations and working capital requirements.
If customers do not purchase products made specifically for them, we may not be able to resell such products to other customers or may not be able to require the customers who have ordered these products to pay a cancellation fee. The foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The semiconductor industry is historically characterized by continued price erosion, especially after a product has been on the market.
One of the results of the rapid innovation in the semiconductor industry is that pricing pressure, especially on products containing older technology, can be intense.
If this trend continues, in order to continue profitably supplying these products, we must reduce our production and procurement costs in line with the lower revenue we can expect to generate per unit. Usually, this must be accomplished through improvements in process technology, production efficiencies and efficient procurement pricing. If we cannot advance our process technologies or improve our efficiencies to a degree sufficient to maintain required margins, the profit we make from the sale of these products will decline. Moreover, we may not be able to cease production of such products, either due to contractual obligations or for customer relationship reasons, and as a result may be required to bear reduced profitability, or even a loss on such products. We cannot guarantee that competition in our core product markets will not lead to price erosion, lower revenue or lower margins in the future. Should reductions in our manufacturing costs fail to keep pace with reductions in market prices for the products we sell, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks related to our business operations
In many of the market segments in which we compete, we depend on winning selection processes, and failure to be selected could adversely affect our business in those market segments.
One of our business strategies is to participate in and win competitive bid selection processes to develop products for use in our customers’ equipment and products. These selection processes can be lengthy and require us to incur significant design and development expenditures, with no guarantee of winning a contract or generating revenue. Failure to win new design projects and delays in developing new products with anticipated technological advances or in commencing volume shipments of these products may have an adverse effect on our business. This risk is particularly pronounced in markets where there are only a few potential customers and in the automotive market, where, due to the longer design cycles involved, failure to win a design-in could prevent access to a customer for several years. Our failure to win a sufficient number of these bids could result in reduced revenue and hurt our competitive position in future selection processes because we may not be perceived as being a technology or industry leader, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our global business operations expose us to international business risks that could adversely affect our business.
18


If any of the following international business risks were to materialize or become worse, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations:
negative economic developments in economies around the world and the instability of governments and international trade arrangements, such as the increase of barriers to international trade including the imposition of new or increased tariffs on imports by the United States and China and other countries, enhanced export controls on certain products and sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties;
social and political instability in a number of countries around the world, including continued hostilities in the Middle East and the armed conflict in Ukraine. The instability and any resulting sanctions, export controls or other penalties, may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and operations via our customers and global supply chain and volatility in energy prices and the financial markets or negatively impact demand for our products;
potential terrorist attacks;
epidemics and pandemics, such as the coronavirus outbreak, which may adversely affect our workforce, as well as our suppliers and customers;
geopolitical tension and disputes, as well as resulting adverse changes in government policies, especially those affecting global trade and investment, including trade protection and national security policies or placing companies on restricted entity lists. Sustained geopolitical tensions, such as the current geopolitical tensions involving China and Taiwan, could lead to long-term changes in global trade and technology supply chains and decoupling of global trade networks;
volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, in particular with respect to the U.S. dollar, and transfer restrictions, in particular in mainland China; and
threats that our operations or property could be subject to nationalization and expropriation.

Recently announced and future tariffs and other trade restrictions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In 2025, the U.S. government announced a series of tariffs, including tariffs targeting a broad range of imports and targeted tariffs on goods from specific countries and industries. In response, many countries imposed reciprocal tariffs and other trade restrictions on the United States. Although many of these tariffs, countermeasures and other trade restrictions have since been eased or paused, their initial announcements triggered considerable volatility in global markets and heightened economic uncertainty, and the global trade situation, particularly between the United States and China, continues to be highly dynamic. Further, throughout 2025 the U.S. government has initiated numerous investigations into products and industries under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. For example, in April 2025, the Department of Commerce launched an investigation into the national security impacts of imported semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. While the results of this investigation remain unknown, it is expected to result in additional tariffs and trade restrictions that may adversely impact our business. Similar investigations on other industries or products, including automotive, copper, steel, aluminum, critical minerals and aircraft, may also adversely impact the semiconductor industry and our business. These changes have, and similar changes in the future may continue to, increase the cost or reduce the availability of raw materials and supplies we need to operate, cause customers to advance, delay, reduce, or cancel orders, shift buying patterns, impact demand in our end markets, complicate demand forecasting for us and our customers, increase supply chain complexity and contribute to volatility, a broader economic slowdown or recession. Any of these impacts or changes could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets represent a significant portion of our total assets, and we may never realize the full value of our intangible assets.
Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the date of an acquisition. We review our goodwill and other intangible assets balance for impairment upon any indication of a potential impairment, and in the case of goodwill, at a minimum of once a year. Impairment may result from, among other things, a sustained decrease in share price, deterioration in performance, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of or affect the products and services we sell, challenges to the validity of certain registered intellectual property, reduced sales of certain products incorporating intellectual property and a variety of other factors. The amount of any quantified impairment must be expensed immediately as a charge to results of operations. Depending on future circumstances, it is possible that we may never realize the full value of our intangible assets. Any future determination of impairment of goodwill or other identifiable intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and stockholders’ equity.
19


In difficult market conditions, our high fixed costs combined with low revenue may negatively affect our results of operations.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by high fixed costs and, notwithstanding our utilization of third-party manufacturing capacity, our production requirements are in part met by our own manufacturing facilities. In less favorable industry environments, like we faced in the first half of 2020, we are generally faced with a decline in the utilization rates of our manufacturing facilities due to decreases in demand for our products. During such periods, our fabrication plants could operate at lower loading level, while the fixed costs associated with the full capacity continue to be incurred, resulting in lower gross profit.

We may from time to time restructure parts of our organization. Any such restructuring may impact customer satisfaction, and the costs of implementation may be difficult to predict.
We have previously executed restructuring initiatives and continue to assess, restructure and make changes to parts of the processes in our organization. If the global economy remains volatile, our revenues could decline and we may be forced to take cost savings steps that could result in additional charges and materially affect our business. The costs of implementing any restructurings, changes or cost savings steps may differ from our estimates and any negative impacts on our revenues or otherwise of such restructurings, changes or steps, such as situations in which customer satisfaction is negatively impacted, may be larger than originally estimated.

If we fail to extend or renegotiate our collective bargaining agreements and social plans with our labor unions as they expire from time to time, if regular or statutory consultation processes with employee representatives such as works councils fail or are delayed, or if our unionized employees were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, our business and operating results could be materially harmed.
We are a party to collective bargaining agreements and social plans with our labor unions. We are also required to consult with our employee representatives, such as works councils, on items such as restructurings, acquisitions and divestitures. Although we believe that our relations with our employees, employee representatives and unions are satisfactory, no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully extend or renegotiate these agreements as they expire from time to time or to conclude the consultation processes in a timely and favorable way. The impact of future negotiations and consultation processes with employee representatives could have a material impact on our financial results. Also, if we fail to extend or renegotiate our labor agreements and social plans, if significant disputes with our unions arise, or if our unionized workers engage in a strike or other work stoppage, we could incur higher ongoing labor costs or experience a significant disruption of operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our working capital needs are difficult to predict.
Our working capital needs are difficult to predict and may fluctuate. The comparatively long period between the time at which we commence development of a product and the time at which it may be delivered to a customer leads to high inventory and work-in-progress levels. The volatility of our customers’ own businesses and the time required to manufacture products also make it difficult to manage inventory levels and require us to stockpile products across many different specifications.

Our business may be adversely affected by costs relating to product defects, and we could be faced with product liability and warranty claims.
We make highly complex electronic components which in many cases are enabled by software and, accordingly, there is a risk that defects may occur in any of our products. Such defects can give rise to significant costs, including expenses relating to recalling products, releasing new software versions, replacing defective items, writing down defective inventory and loss of potential sales. In addition, the occurrence of such defects may give rise to product liability and warranty claims, including liability for damages caused by such defects. If we release defective products into the market, our reputation could suffer and we may lose sales opportunities and incur liability for damages. Moreover, since the cost of replacing defective semiconductor devices is often much higher than the value of the devices themselves, we may at times face damage claims from customers in excess of the amounts they pay us for our products, including consequential damages. We also face exposure to potential liability resulting from the fact that our customers typically integrate the semiconductors and the corresponding software we sell into numerous consumer products, which are then sold into the marketplace. We are exposed to product liability claims if our
20


semiconductors or software, or the consumer products based on them malfunction and result in personal injury or death. We may be named in product liability claims even if there is no evidence that our products caused the damage in question, and such claims could result in significant costs and expenses relating to attorneys’ fees and damages. In addition, our customers may recall their products if they prove to be defective or make compensatory payments in accordance with industry or business practice or in order to maintain good customer relationships. If such a recall or payment is caused by a defect in one of our products, semiconductor parts or software, our customers may seek to recover all or a portion of their losses from us. If any of these risks materialize, our reputation would be harmed and there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks related to security vulnerabilities in our products.
We and third parties regularly identify security vulnerabilities with respect to our products and services. The same holds for the operating systems and workloads that run on them and the components that interact with them. Components and Intellectual Property (IP) we purchase or license from third parties for use in our products, as well as industry-standard specifications we implement in our products, are also regularly subject to security vulnerabilities. As we have become a more data-centric company, our processors and other products are being used in additional and new and critical application areas that create new or increased cybersecurity, privacy or safety risks. This includes applications that gather and process large amounts of data, such as the cloud or Internet of Things, and critical infrastructure and automotive applications. We, our customers, and the users of our products do not always promptly learn of or have the ability to fully assess the magnitude or effects of a vulnerability, including the extent, if any, to which a vulnerability has been exploited. Additionally, new information can subsequently develop that may impact our assessment of a security vulnerability, including additional information learned as we develop and deploy mitigations or updates, become aware of additional variants and evaluate the competitiveness of existing and new products.
Security vulnerabilities and any limitations of, or adverse effects resulting from, mitigation techniques can adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, sales, branding, customer relationships, share price, prospects, and reputation in a number of ways, any of which may be material.
Adverse publicity about security vulnerabilities or mitigations could damage our reputation with customers or users and reduce demand for our products and services. These effects may be greater to the extent that competing products are not susceptible to the same vulnerabilities or if vulnerabilities can be more effectively mitigated in competing products. Moreover, third parties can release information regarding potential vulnerabilities of our products before mitigations are available. This, in turn, could lead to attempted or successful exploits, adversely affect our ability to introduce mitigations, or otherwise harm our business and reputation.

Our business has suffered, and could in the future suffer, from manufacturing problems.
We manufacture, in our own factories as well as with third parties, our products using processes that are highly complex, require advanced and costly equipment and must continuously be modified to improve yields and performance. Difficulties in the production process can reduce yields or interrupt production, and, as a result of such problems, we may on occasion not be able to deliver products or do so in a timely or cost-effective or competitive manner. Such difficulties may include rationing, or other forced disruption of utility supplies such as electricity, gas or water by governments or regulators which could lead to disruptions of our operation resulting in high costs and global supply chain disruptions. As the complexity of both our products and our fabrication processes has become more advanced, manufacturing tolerances have been reduced and requirements for precision have become more demanding. As is common in the semiconductor industry, we have in the past experienced manufacturing difficulties that have given rise to delays in delivery and quality control problems. There can be no assurance that any such occurrence in the future would not materially harm our results of operations. Further, we may suffer disruptions in our manufacturing operations, either due to production difficulties such as those described above or as a result of external factors beyond our control, such as the disruption to our Austin, Texas manufacturing facilities caused by the February 2021 winter storm. We may, in the future, experience manufacturing difficulties or permanent or temporary loss of manufacturing capacity due to the preceding or other risks. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on the timely supply of equipment and materials and could suffer if suppliers fail to meet their delivery obligations or raise prices. Certain equipment and materials needed in our manufacturing operations are only available from a limited number of suppliers.

Our manufacturing operations depend on deliveries of equipment and materials in a timely manner and, in some cases, on a just-in-time basis. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit the amounts supplied to us or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. Supply disruptions may also occur due to shortages in critical materials, such as silicon wafers or specialized chemicals. In addition, the imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions may significantly increase the costs, and otherwise adversely impact the availability of certain raw materials and supplies needed for our manufacturing operations. Because the equipment that we purchase is complex, it is frequently difficult or impossible for us to substitute one piece of equipment for another or replace one type of material with another. A failure by our suppliers to deliver our requirements could result in disruptions to our manufacturing operations. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of quality equipment or materials in a timely manner or if there are significant increases in the costs of equipment or materials due to current or expected inflation, trade restrictions or other reasons and we are not able to increase the price of our products.

Failure of our third party suppliers to perform could adversely affect our results of operations.
We currently use outside suppliers for a portion of our manufacturing capacity. Outsourcing our production presents a number of risks. If our outside suppliers are unable to satisfy our demand, or experience manufacturing difficulties, delays or reduced yields, our results of operations and ability to satisfy customer demand could suffer. For example, as part of the industry-wide shortage of semiconductors during 2022 we could not obtain sufficient silicon wafers from our foundry partners to meet the demand for our products, causing us not to fully supply the demand for our products, and negatively affecting our results of operations. In addition, purchasing rather than manufacturing these products may adversely affect our gross profit margin if the purchase costs of these products are higher than our own manufacturing costs would have been or if we are not able to increase the price of our products to reflect the higher input costs. Prices for foundry products also vary depending on capacity utilization rates at our suppliers, quantities demanded, product technology and geometry. Furthermore, these outsourcing costs can vary materially from quarter to quarter and, in cases of industry shortages like we experienced in 2022, they can increase significantly, which may negatively affect our gross profit if we are not able to increase the price of our products. In addition, we have entered into long-term supply agreements with certain key manufacturing partners. The failure of these suppliers to perform under these agreements or an unexpected reduction in demand for these products could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Disruptions in our relationships with any one of our key customers could adversely affect our business.
A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from our top customers, including our distributors. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate similar levels of revenue from our largest customers in the future. If one or more of these customers substantially reduce their purchases from us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We receive subsidies and grants in certain countries, and a reduction in the amount of governmental funding available to us or demands for repayment could increase our costs and affect our results of operations.
As is the case with other large semiconductor companies, we receive subsidies and grants from governments in some countries. These programs are subject to periodic review by the relevant governments, and if any of these programs are curtailed or discontinued, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As the availability of government funding is outside our control, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to benefit from government support or that sufficient alternative funding will be available if we lose such support. Moreover, if we terminate any activities or operations, including strategic alliances or joint ventures, we may face adverse actions from the local governmental agencies providing such subsidies to us. In such event that we don't meet the subsidies grant conditions, such government agencies could seek to recover such subsidies from us, and they could cancel or reduce other subsidies we receive from them. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain natural disasters, such as flooding, heavy precipitation, large earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or nuclear or other disasters, may negatively impact our business. Climate change may cause a rising number of natural disasters that could negatively affect our operations.
Environmental and other disasters, such as flooding, heavy precipitation large earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or nuclear or other disasters, or a combination thereof may negatively impact our business. If flooding, heavy precipitation, a large earthquake, volcanic eruption or, extreme weather event or other natural disaster were to
22


directly damage, destroy or disrupt our manufacturing facilities, it could disrupt our operations, delay new production and shipments of existing inventory or result in costly repairs, replacements or other costs, all of which would negatively impact our business. Even if our manufacturing facilities are not directly damaged, a large natural disaster may result in disruptions in distribution channels, supply chains, movement of goods and significant increases in the prices of raw materials used for our manufacturing process. For instance, the nuclear incident following the tsunami in Japan in 2011 impacted the supply chains of our customers and suppliers. Furthermore, any disaster affecting our customers (or their respective customers) may significantly negatively impact the demand for our products and our revenues. In addition, climate change could cause certain natural disasters, such as drought, wildfires, storms, flooding or rising sea levels, to occur more frequently or with greater intensity. Such natural disasters pose physical risks to our manufacturing, IT facilities or our suppliers’ facilities, or could disrupt the availability of water and utilities necessary for the operation of our manufacturing facilities or our suppliers’ facilities resulting in increased operating costs and business disruption, such as the disruption to our Austin, Texas manufacturing facilities caused by the February 2021 winter storm and weather-related disruption of water and utilities to these facilities. In addition, semiconductor manufacturing is a water-intensive process. Many of our manufacturing sites and those of our suppliers are located in semi–arid regions that may become increasingly vulnerable to prolonged droughts associated with evolving changes to the climate, which may lead to water scarcity. If we and our suppliers are not able to implement adequate water recycling and conservation measures or if the water scarcity in a particular region becomes acute and restricts the availability of water necessary for the operation of our manufacturing facilities or our suppliers’ facilities, our business may be significantly negatively impacted.
The impact of any such natural disasters depends on the specific geographic circumstances but could be significant, as some of our factories are located in areas with known earthquake fault zones, flood or storm risks, including but not limited to Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia or Thailand. There is increasing concern that climate change is occurring that may cause a rising number of natural disasters with potentially dramatic effects on human activity. We cannot predict the economic impact, if any, of natural disasters or climate change.

We may engage in acquisitions and other strategic transactions or make investments, or be unable to consummate planned strategic acquisitions, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We engage in acquisitions and other strategic transactions, including joint ventures, and make investments which we believe are important to the future of our business. We routinely acquire businesses and other assets, including patents, technology and other intangible assets, enter into joint ventures or other strategic transactions, and purchase minority equity interests in or make loans to companies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of business acquisitions depends in part upon our ability to integrate the businesses in an efficient and effective manner and achieve anticipated synergies, and we may not be successful in these efforts. Such integration is complex and time-consuming and involves significant challenges, including, among others: retaining key employees; integration of new employees, technology, products, operations, sales and distribution channels, business models, facilities and business systems; retaining customers and suppliers of the businesses; consolidating research and development operations; and consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures. If we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of business acquisitions or other strategic activities, or if we are unable to consummate acquisitions or strategic investments that we consider important to the future of our business, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected and our growth strategy may not be successful.
Additionally, our acquisitions and other strategic investments may require approval by government agencies in applicable jurisdictions in which we operate. Certain agencies in the past have, and may in the future, deny the transaction or fail to approve in a timely manner, resulting in delays in closing and us not realizing the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions.

We rely on joint ventures to meet our current and future manufacturing requirements. However, we often do not control these partnerships and joint ventures, and actions taken by any of our partners or the termination of these joint ventures could adversely affect our business.
As part of our hybrid manufacturing strategy, we have entered into a number of long-term strategic partnerships with other leading industry participants and may do so again in the future. For example, we currently participate in a joint venture with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (“TSMC”) called Systems on Silicon Manufacturing Company Pte. Ltd. (“SSMC”) and have recently formed a joint venture with Vanguard International Semiconductor Corporation called VisionPower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Pte. Ltd. (“VSMC”), and a joint venture with TSMC, Robert Bosch Gmbh and Infineon Technologies AG called European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (“ESMC”) to create capability for our future manufacturing requirements. If any of our strategic partners in alliances we currently engage with or may engage with in the future were to encounter financial
23


difficulties or change their business strategies, they may no longer be able or willing to participate in these groups or alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Under the terms of current or future alliances, we may have certain obligations, including funding obligations or take or pay obligations. If we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of these joint ventures, or if newly established joint ventures are not able to begin production in the expected timing or achieve expected efficiency and quality, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Risks related to regulatory or legal challenges.

As our business is global, we need to comply with laws and regulations in countries across the world.
We operate globally, with manufacturing, assembly and testing facilities in several continents, and we market our products globally.
As a result, we are subject to environmental, data privacy, export controls and sanctions, AI technologies, cybersecurity, disclosure and reporting (including reporting of ESG-related data), labor and health and safety laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which we operate. We are also required to obtain environmental permits and other authorizations or licenses from governmental authorities for certain of our operations. In the jurisdictions where we operate, we need to comply with differing standards and varying practices of regulatory, tax, customs, judicial and administrative bodies.
No assurance can be given that we have been or will be at all times in complete compliance with the laws and regulations to which we are subject or that we have obtained or will obtain the permits and other authorizations or licenses that we need. If we violate or fail to comply with laws, regulations, permits and other authorizations or licenses, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. Furthermore, if one or more of our customers are sanctioned by regulators for non-compliance with laws and regulations, we could experience a decrease in demand for our products. For example, import and export regulations, such as the U.S. Export Administration Regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and sanctions imposed by the European Union (EU) and other jurisdictions, are complex, change frequently, have generally become more stringent over time and have intensified in recent years. Our results of operations could be negatively impacted if we are required to suspend activities with certain customers or suppliers due to the current and future changes in regulations, including as a result of executive orders or policy changes pursued by the new U.S. administration. For example, in 2020, due to regulations imposed by the U.S. government, we ceased shipments of our products to Huawei pending approval of export licenses. Furthermore, global privacy legislation, enforcement, and policy activity, such as the EU General Data Privacy Regulation, are rapidly expanding and creating a complex regulatory compliance environment. Costs to comply with and implement these privacy-related and data protection measures could be significant. Even our inadvertent failure to comply with applicable privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities or others. In addition, governments are increasingly imposing restrictions on cross-border investments in semiconductor businesses and technology, such as the Dutch foreign investment control regime and U.S. outbound investment rules, that may limit our ability to execute strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Compliance with, or changes in the interpretation of, existing regulations, the adoption of new regulations, changes in the oversight of our activities by governments or standard bodies or rulings in court, regulatory, administrative or other proceedings relating to such regulations, among others, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Legal proceedings covering a range of matters are pending in various jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in litigation, it is difficult to predict the final outcome. An adverse outcome might affect our results of operations.
We and certain of our businesses are involved as plaintiffs or defendants in legal proceedings in various matters. For example, in the past we have been involved in legal proceedings claiming personal injuries to the children of former employees as a result of employees’ alleged exposure to chemicals used in semiconductor manufacturing clean room environments operated by us or our former parent companies, Philips and Motorola. Furthermore, because we continue to utilize these clean rooms, we may become subject to future claims alleging personal injury that may lead to additional liability. A judgment against us in these or other legal proceedings or material defense cost could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our manufacturing operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations and initiatives to address climate change.
24


We are subject to many environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which we operate, which govern, among other things, emissions of pollutants into the air, wastewater discharges, the use and handling of hazardous substances, waste disposal, the investigation and remediation of soil and ground water contamination and the health and safety of our employees. We are also required to obtain environmental permits from governmental authorities for certain of our operations. We cannot assure you that we have been or will be at all times in complete compliance with such laws, regulations and permits. If we violate or fail to comply with these laws, regulations or permits, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators.
As with other companies engaged in similar activities or that own or operate real property, we face inherent risks of environmental liability at our current and historical manufacturing facilities. Certain environmental laws impose strict, and in certain circumstances, joint and several liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous substances as well as liability for related damages to natural resources. Certain of these laws also assess liability on persons who arrange for hazardous substances to be sent to disposal or treatment facilities when such facilities are found to be contaminated. While we do not expect that any contamination currently known to us will have a material adverse effect on our business, we cannot assure you that this is the case or that we will not discover new facts or conditions or that environmental laws or the enforcement of such laws will not change such that our liabilities would be increased significantly. In addition, we could also be held liable for consequences arising out of human exposure to hazardous substances or other environmental damage. In summary, we cannot assure you that our costs of complying with current and future environmental and health and safety laws, or our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, regulated materials, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Public and private initiatives to address climate change may result in an increase in the cost of production due to increase in the prices of energy, introduction of energy or carbon tax or the purchase of carbon offsets. A variety of regulatory developments have been introduced that focus on restricting or managing the emission of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases. Enterprises may need to purchase at higher costs new equipment or raw materials with lower carbon footprints. Environmental laws and regulations could also require us to acquire pollution abatement or remediation equipment, modify product designs, or incur expenses. New materials that we are evaluating for use in our operations may become subject to regulation. These developments and further legislation that is likely to be enacted could affect our operations negatively. Changes in environmental regulations could increase our production and operational costs, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Risks related to cybersecurity and IT systems.

Interruptions in our information technology systems could adversely affect our business.
We rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology applications, systems and networks to operate our business. The reliability and security of our information technology infrastructure and software, and our ability to expand and continually update technologies in response to our changing needs is critical to our business. Any significant interruption in our business applications, systems or networks, including but not limited to new system implementations, computer viruses, cyberattacks, security breaches, facility issues or energy blackouts could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our computer systems and networks are subject to attempted security breaches and other cybersecurity incidents, which, if successful, could adversely impact our business.
We have, from time to time, experienced cyber-attacks attempting to obtain access to and misuse our computer systems and networks. Such incidents could result in the misappropriation of our proprietary information and technology, the compromise of personal and confidential information of our employees, customers or suppliers or interrupt our business. There can be no assurance that a breach or incident will not have a material impact on our operations and financial results in the future. We believe that we have a robust cybersecurity program that is aligned to international cybersecurity frameworks, and that we leverage industry best practices across people, processes and technologies in an attempt to mitigate cybersecurity threats. However, we cannot always anticipate, detect, repel or implement fully effective preventative measures against all cybersecurity threats, particularly because the techniques used are increasingly sophisticated and constantly evolving. For example, as AI continues to evolve, cyber attackers could also use AI to develop malicious code and increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts.
25


In the current environment, there are numerous and evolving risks to cybersecurity and privacy, including criminal hackers, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, employee malfeasance, and human or technological error. Computer hackers and others routinely attempt to breach the security of technology products, services, and systems, and those of customers, suppliers, and some of those attempts may be successful. Such breaches could result in, for example, unauthorized access to, disclosure, misuse, loss, or destruction of our, our customer, or other third party data or systems, theft of sensitive or confidential data including personal information (including personal data about our employees, customers or other third parties) and intellectual property, system disruptions, and denial of service. In the event of such breaches, we, our customers or other third parties could be exposed to potential liability, litigation, and regulatory action, as well as the loss of existing or potential customers, damage to our reputation, and other financial loss. In addition, the cost and operational consequences of responding to breaches and implementing remediation measures could be significant. We have identified instances of employee misappropriation or theft of certain proprietary technology by individuals who are no longer employed by NXP. In some cases, such misappropriation may result in the violation of applicable export control regulations, which we report to relevant authorities as appropriate. As of the date of this filing, we do not believe that any such misappropriation or theft known to us has resulted in a material adverse effect on our business or any material damage to us. However, there can be no assurance that these or other similar incidents will not have a material impact on our operations and financial results in the future. Accordingly, as these threats become increasingly sophisticated and continue to develop and grow, we are actively adapting our security measures and we continue to increase the amount we allocate to implement, maintain and/or update security systems to protect our infrastructure, intellectual property and data. As a global enterprise, we could also be impacted by existing and proposed laws and regulations, as well as government policies and practices related to cybersecurity, privacy and data protection. Additionally cyber-attacks or other catastrophic events resulting in disruptions to or failures in power, information technology, communication systems or other critical infrastructure could result in interruptions or delays to us, our customers, or other third party operations or services, financial loss, potential liability, and damage our reputation and affect our relationships with our customers and suppliers.

Risks related to intellectual property

We rely to a significant extent on proprietary intellectual property. We may not be able to protect this intellectual property against improper use by our competitors or others.
Our success and future revenue growth depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology, our products, our proprietary designs and fabrication processes, and other intellectual property against misappropriation by others. We primarily rely on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods, to protect our intellectual property. We may have difficulty obtaining patents and other intellectual property rights to protect our proprietary products, technology and intellectual property, and the patents and other intellectual property rights we receive may be insufficient to provide us with meaningful protection or commercial advantage. We may not obtain patent protection or secure other intellectual property rights in all the countries in which we operate, and under the laws of such countries, patents and other intellectual property rights may be or become unavailable or limited in scope. Even if new patents are issued, the claims allowed may not be sufficiently broad to effectively protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property. In addition, any of our existing patents, and any future patents issued to us may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. The protection offered by intellectual property rights may be inadequate or weakened for reasons or circumstances that are out of our control. Further, our proprietary technology, designs and processes and other intellectual property may be vulnerable to disclosure or misappropriation by employees, contractors and other persons. It is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose our proprietary technologies, our products, designs, processes and other intellectual property despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property. While we hold a significant number of patents, there can be no assurances that additional patents will be issued or that any rights granted under our patents will provide meaningful protection against misappropriation of our intellectual property. Our competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. We may not have or pursue patents or pending applications in all the countries in which we operate corresponding to all of our primary patents and applications. Even if patents are granted, effective enforcement in some countries may not be available. In particular, intellectual property rights are difficult to enforce in countries where the application and enforcement of the laws governing such rights may not have reached the same level as compared to other jurisdictions where we operate. Consequently, operating in some countries may subject us to an increased risk that unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise use our intellectual property or the intellectual property of our suppliers or other parties with whom we engage. There is no assurance that we will be able to protect our intellectual property rights or have adequate legal recourse in the event
26


that we seek legal or judicial enforcement of our intellectual property rights under the laws of such countries. Any inability on our part to adequately protect our intellectual property may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Finally, the intellectual property ownership and license rights, including copyrights and patents, surrounding AI technologies, which we are and may in the future continue to build into our products, have not been fully addressed by U.S. or foreign courts, laws or regulations, and the use of AI in the development of our products and services could result in our loss of, or failure to obtain, intellectual property rights, as well as subject us to risks related to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.

We may become party to intellectual property claims or litigation that could cause us to incur substantial costs, pay substantial damages or prohibit us from selling our products.
We have from time to time received, and may in the future receive, communications alleging possible infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights of others. Further, we may become involved in costly litigation brought against us regarding patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights. If any such claims are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license under the third party’s intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any or all of the necessary licenses on satisfactory terms, if at all. In the event that we cannot obtain or take the view that we don’t need a license, these parties may file lawsuits against us seeking damages (and potentially treble damages in the United States) or an injunction against the sale of our products that incorporate allegedly infringed intellectual property or against the operation of our business as presently conducted. Such lawsuits, if successful, could result in an increase in the costs of selling certain of our products, our having to partially or completely redesign our products or stop the sale of some of our products and could cause damage to our reputation. Any litigation could require significant financial and management resources regardless of the merits or outcome, and we cannot assure you that we would prevail in any litigation or that our intellectual property rights can be successfully asserted in the future or will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. Additionally, and in part due to ongoing uncertainties in the legal framework around AI, our use of AI technologies for productivity and in our products and services may expose us to copyright infringement or other intellectual property misappropriation claims. The award of damages, including material royalty payments, or the entry of an injunction against the manufacture and sale of some or all of our products, could affect our ability to compete or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks related to human capital management

Loss of our key management and other personnel, or an inability to attract such management and other personnel, could affect our business.
We depend on our key management to run our business and on our senior engineers to develop new products and technologies. Our success will depend on the continued service of these individuals. The loss of any of our key personnel, whether due to departures, death, ill health or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business. The market for qualified employees, including skilled engineers and other individuals with the required technical expertise to succeed in our business, is highly competitive and the loss of qualified employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate the additional highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder our ability to successfully conduct research activities or develop marketable products. The foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Effective October 28, 2025, Kurt Sievers voluntarily retired as our CEO and executive director and Rafael Sotomayor succeeded Mr. Sievers as President and CEO and temporary executive director of the Company. Any significant leadership change involves inherent risk, including potential disruptions to our operations or relationships with customers, suppliers and key employees, and can be inherently difficult to implement. If our CEO transition is not successful for any reason, it could have an adverse impact on our business.

Risks related to our corporate structure

United States civil liabilities may not be enforceable against us.
We are incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and substantial portions of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, certain members of our board and officers reside outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such other persons
27


residing outside the United States, or to enforce outside the United States judgments obtained against such persons in U.S. courts in any action. In addition, it may be difficult for investors to enforce, in original actions brought in courts in jurisdictions located outside the United States, rights predicated upon the U.S. laws.
In the absence of an applicable treaty for the mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitration awards) in civil and commercial matters to which the United States and the Netherlands are a party, a judgment obtained against the Company in the courts of the United States, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws, including a judgment predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities law or securities laws of any State or territory within the United States, will not be directly enforceable in the Netherlands.
In order to obtain a judgment which is enforceable in the Netherlands, the claim must be relitigated before a competent court of the Netherlands; the relevant Netherlands court has discretion to attach such weight to a judgment of the courts of the United States as it deems appropriate; based on case law, the courts of the Netherlands may be expected to recognize and grant permission for enforcement of a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States without re-examination or relitigation of the substantive matters adjudicated thereby, provided that (i) the relevant court in the United States had jurisdiction in the matter in accordance with standards which are generally accepted internationally; (ii) the proceedings before that court complied with principles of proper procedure; (iii) recognition and/or enforcement of that judgment does not conflict with the public policy of the Netherlands; and (iv) recognition and/or enforcement of that judgment is not irreconcilable with a decision of a Dutch court rendered between the same parties or with an earlier decision of a foreign court rendered between the same parties in a dispute that is about the same subject matter and that is based on the same cause, provided that earlier decision can be recognized in the Netherlands.
Based on the foregoing, there can be no assurance that U.S. investors will be able to enforce against us or members of our board of directors or officers who are residents of the Netherlands or countries other than the United States any judgments obtained in U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters.
In addition, there is doubt as to whether a Dutch court would impose civil liability on us, the members of our board of directors, our officers or certain experts named herein in an original action predicated solely upon the U.S. laws brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Netherlands against us or such members, officers or experts, respectively.

We are a Dutch public company with limited liability. The rights of our stockholders may be different from the rights of stockholders governed by the laws of U.S. jurisdictions.
We are a Dutch public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap). Our corporate affairs are governed by our articles of association and by the laws governing companies incorporated in the Netherlands. The rights of stockholders and the responsibilities of members of our board of directors may be different from the rights and obligations of stockholders in companies governed by the laws of U.S. jurisdictions. In the performance of its duties, our board of directors is required by Dutch law to consider the interests of our company, its stockholders, its employees and other stakeholders, in all cases with due observation of the principles of reasonableness and fairness. It is possible that some of these parties will have interests that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. See Part III, Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

Risks related to our indebtedness

Our debt obligations expose us to risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount of $12,290 million. Our substantial indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our business by:
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry or competitive developments;
requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;
exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates in the event we have borrowings under our $2,500 million revolving credit facility agreement (the “RCF Agreement”), which was restated to $3,000 million as per February 6, 2026, because loans under the RCF Agreement may bear interest at a variable rate;
28


making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an event default under the indentures governing our notes and agreements governing other indebtedness;
restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financial for working capital, capital expenditures, restructurings, product development, research and development, debt service requirements, investments, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less highly leveraged and who, therefore, may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting.
Despite our level of indebtedness, we may still incur significantly more debt, which could further exacerbate the risks described above and affect our ability to service and repay our debt.

If we do not comply with the covenants in our debt agreements or fail to generate sufficient cash to service and repay our debt, it could adversely affect our operating results and our financial condition.
The RCF Agreement, European Investment Bank (EIB) loan facilities and the indentures governing our unsecured notes or any other debt arrangements that we may have require us to comply with various covenants. If there were an event of default under any of our debt instruments that was not cured or waived, the holders of the defaulted debt could terminate commitments to lend and cause all amounts outstanding with respect to the debt to be due and payable immediately, which in turn could result in cross defaults under our other debt instruments. Our assets and cash flow may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under all of our outstanding debt instruments if some or all of these instruments are accelerated upon an event of default.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital, restructure or refinance our indebtedness or reduce or delay capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain enough capital to service our debt and fund our planned capital expenditures and business plan. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations.


29


The rating of our debt by major rating agencies may further improve or deteriorate, which could affect our additional borrowing capacity and financing costs.
The major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate our debt. These ratings are based on current information furnished to the ratings agencies by us and information obtained by the ratings agencies from other sources. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if, in each rating agency’s judgment, circumstances so warrant. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, could affect our market value and/or increase our corporate borrowing costs.

General risk factors

The price of our common stock historically has been volatile. The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The stock market in recent years has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of companies. The market closing price for our common stock varied between a high of $245.86 on February 20, 2025, and a low of $153.50 on April 8, 2025, in the twelve-month period ending on December 31, 2025. The market price of our common stock is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations for many reasons, including in response to the risks described in this section, changes in our dividend or share repurchase policies, variations between our actual financial results or guidance and expectations of securities analysts or investors or for reasons unrelated to our operations, such as reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions or negative announcements by our customers, competitors, peer companies or suppliers regarding their own performance, or announcements by our competitors of significant contracts, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, joint marketing relationships or capital commitments, the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments affecting us or our industry, as well as industry conditions and general financial, economic and political instability. In the past, following periods of market volatility, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of executive management from our business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

We may have fluctuations in the amount and frequency of our stock repurchases.
The amount, timing, and execution of our stock repurchases may fluctuate based on our priorities for the use of cash for other purposes—such as investing in our business, including operational spending, capital spending, and acquisitions, and returning cash to our stockholders as dividend payments—and because of changes in cash flows, tax laws, and the market price of our common stock.

There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends.
Our board of directors has adopted a dividend policy pursuant to which we currently pay a cash dividend on our ordinary shares on a quarterly basis. The declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to the approval of our board, and our dividend may be discontinued or reduced at any time. There can be no assurance that we will declare cash dividends in the future in any particular amounts, or at all.
Future dividends, if any, and their timing and amount, may be affected by, among other factors: management’s views on potential future capital requirements for strategic transactions, including acquisitions; earnings levels; contractual restrictions; cash position and overall financial condition; and changes to our business model. The payment of cash dividends is restricted by applicable law, contractual restrictions and our corporate structure.

The impact of a negative performance of financial markets and demographic trends on our defined benefit pension liabilities and costs cannot be predicted.
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans in a number of countries, and a significant number of our employees are covered by our defined benefit pension plans. As of December 31, 2025, we had recognized a net accrued benefit liability of $342 million, representing the unfunded benefit obligations of our defined pension plans. The funding status and the liabilities and costs of maintaining these defined benefit pension plans may be impacted by financial market developments. For example, the accounting for such plans requires determining discount rates, expected rates of compensation and expected returns on plan assets, and any changes in these variables can have a significant impact
30


on the projected benefit obligations and net periodic pension costs. Negative performance of the financial markets could also have a material impact on funding requirements and net periodic pension costs. Our defined benefit pension plans may also be subject to demographic trends. Accordingly, our costs to meet pension liabilities going forward may be significantly higher than they are today, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition.

Future changes to Dutch, U.S. and other foreign tax laws could adversely affect us.
The European Commission, U.S. Congress and Treasury Department, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and other government agencies in jurisdictions where we and our affiliates do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations, particularly payments made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the European Union, U.S. and other countries in which we and our affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could adversely affect us and our affiliates.
Recent examples include the OECD’s initiatives to revise profit allocation and nexus rules to allocate more taxing rights to countries where companies have their markets and to establish a minimum tax rate on a global basis. As part of the OECD framework to implement a minimum tax rate, the EU has adopted a directive on ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for multinational companies, also known as Pillar 2, which became effective in 2024. As from that year the Dutch government enacted legislation in response to and based on such EU directive. However, this legislation could be amended as the OECD is considering a change in the Pillar 2 rules as in June 2025 G7 countries issued a statement setting out the principles for a side-by-side safe harbor, adding that they would pursue parallel workstreams to simplify the pillar 2 compliance framework and consider the favorable treatment of substance-based nonrefundable tax credits under the GLOBE rules.

We are exposed to a number of different tax uncertainties, which could have an impact on our results.
We are required to pay taxes in multiple jurisdictions. We determine the taxes we are required to pay based on our interpretation of the applicable tax laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We may be subject to unfavorable changes in the respective tax laws and regulations to which we are subject. Tax controls, audits, changes in controls and changes in tax laws or regulations or the interpretation given to them may expose us to negative tax consequences, including interest payments and potentially penalties. We have issued transfer-pricing directives in the areas of goods, services and financing, which are in accordance with OECD guidelines. As transfer pricing has a cross-border effect, the focus of local tax authorities on implemented transfer pricing procedures in a country may have an impact on results in another country.
Transfer pricing uncertainties can also result from disputes with local tax authorities about transfer pricing of internal deliveries of goods and services or related to financing, acquisitions and divestments, the use of tax credits and permanent establishments, and tax losses carried forward. These uncertainties may have a significant impact on local tax results. We also have various tax assets resulting from acquisitions. Tax assets can also result from the generation of tax losses in certain legal entities. Tax authorities may challenge these tax assets. In addition, the value of the tax assets resulting from tax losses carried forward depends on having sufficient taxable profits in the future.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy
NXP, similar to other semiconductor companies, operates in a complex and rapidly changing environment that involves many risks, including information and cybersecurity risks. As a leading technology company, we are committed to help strengthen internet security and to implementing measures designed to protect our company against illicit activities, including cyberattacks and malware.
NXP’s cybersecurity initiatives focus on strengthening our Core IT infrastructure and services against external threats, securing our manufacturing operations from compromise, limiting damage through processes and controls, and protecting our intellectual property. On a day-to-day basis, NXP identifies vulnerabilities, breach attempts, and possible criminal activity by external threat actors. Additionally, NXP has a supplier security framework that helps with monitoring and accessing the security of suppliers and third-party service providers. As part of the framework,
31


we conduct due diligence which covers topics such as data protection, confidentiality, security, business continuity and incident management. From time to time, the company engages external cybersecurity assessor and advisors to support risk evaluation, control testing and program maturity benchmarking. These activities are covered by our process for cybersecurity risk management under our Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”).
NXP uses a multi-layer approach to identify and mitigate information security risks. On a tactical level, NXP maintains a 24x7 Security Operating Center (SOC) that actively monitors for and identifies cyber security threats and initiates appropriate mitigation processes. The SOC reports to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), who can in case of an incident establish a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). When needed, a task force containing Security, IT, Communications, Legal and Business representatives is established. This task force leads mitigation activities where the potential threat or risk is elevated. In addition to SOC, the NXP IT Service Desk and NXP employees are trained to identify Cyber Security issues and to escalate them to correct owners. Furthermore, NXP has an Identify and Access Management System integrated with HR systems which helps manage employee life cycle processes, including both onboarding and offboarding NXP workers. These systems are audited by internal and external audit teams. On a strategic level, NXP’s information technology risk management program is a component of the ERM process described below.
NXP is certified and externally audited to ISO 27001 with certain additional certifications such as Common Criteria 6+, PCI DSS and GSMA Security for focused functions. We have multiple cybersecurity training initiatives as part of our information security training and compliance program. We regularly deploy simulated attacks and related trainings. We deliver a Cyber Security orientation to new employees and maintain a library of cyber security learning sessions available to our employees. Where appropriate, we use external service providers to assess, evaluate, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls and processes.
NXP’s program for Information Technology (IT) Risk Management is a component of NXP’s overall process for ERM.
The objectives of ERM are to:
Identify our key risks in a timely manner, based upon quantitative and qualitative factors.
Mitigate risk and keep risk impact at acceptable levels, particularly those risks that could result in a strategic impact event.
Ensure there is an effective risk-management framework in place which covers our key risks and is supported by risk-monitoring mechanisms.
Prioritize and align risk-management efforts, to use resources effectively.
Ensure risk-management governance, including quarterly monitoring, reporting and evaluation.
Key ERM activities include:
Assessment (identification and evaluation of risks)
Response (building capabilities, mitigation)
Management Assurance (effective management methods, clear accountabilities)
Monitoring (audit, inquire, verify)
Communication (internally and externally)
Periodically evaluate effectiveness method

To date, we have experienced no cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected NXP, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. We do not believe that cybersecurity threats resulting from any previous cybersecurity incidents of which we are aware are reasonably likely to materially affect NXP. For additional information on certain risks associated with cybersecurity, refer to the risk factors set forth under the caption “Risks related to cybersecurity and IT systems” in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

Governance
Our management is directly responsible for executing the Company’s risk management processes. Our Board, and appropriate Board committees, perform this oversight function through reports from management, which are delivered periodically or as needed. Additionally, the Company conducts a formal annual risk assessment to identify, analyze and report on enterprise risks, the results of which are reported to and discussed with the Board. The Board and, as appropriate, the relevant Board committees assess the material risks facing the Company and evaluate management’s plans for managing material risk exposures.
32


While our Board generally has ultimate oversight responsibility of the Company’s risk management processes, it has delegated to its committees the responsibility to oversee risk management processes associated with their respective areas of responsibility and expertise. The Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for reviewing the effectiveness of NXP’s governance and management of IT risks, including those relating to business continuity, cybersecurity, malware, regulatory compliance and data management. Management regularly briefs the Audit Committee on cybersecurity matters and briefs the full Board on these issues at least annually or as needed.
NXP’s CISO has over 20 years of relevant experience managing cybersecurity risks and is primarily responsible for managing the cybersecurity risks identified in the ERM process. This includes performing risk assessments, prioritizing the most likely and impactful risk elements, and recommending appropriate measures to mitigate the risk.

Item 2. Properties
The Company's headquarters are located in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. As of February 19, 2026, the Company operates owned manufacturing facilities primarily in the United States, Netherlands, Malaysia, China, Thailand and Taiwan, as well as in Singapore (SSMC) together with our joint venture partner TSMC. Through investments in VSMC and ESMC, the Company holds capacity rights in external manufacturing facilities, presently under construction. The Company also owns or leases other properties in multiple countries for use as administrative, sales or research and development facilities. The Company believes its existing facilities and equipment are in good operating condition and adequate to meet our need for the near future.

Sequential Results

Q4 2025 compared to Q3 2025
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $3,335 million compared to $3,173 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025, an increase of $162 million or 5.1% quarter-on-quarter, in line with management's expectations. Within our end markets, the Industrial & IoT end market increased $61 million or 10.5%, the Mobile end market increased $55 million or 12.8%, the Automotive end market increased $39 million or 2.1%, and the Communication Infrastructure & Other end market increased $7 million or 2.1%.
When aggregating all end markets together and reviewing sales channel performance, revenue from distributors was $2,025 million, an increase of $159 million or 8.5% compared to the previous period. Revenue from direct customers was $1,274 million, an increase of $5 million or 0.4% compared to the previous period.
From a geographic perspective, revenue increased across all regions.
The gross profit percentage for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased to 54.2% from 56.3% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to impairments related to the scaling down of a non-strategic product line.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $744 million compared to $893 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $149 million or 16.7%. The sequential decrease was mainly due to higher restructuring costs for specific targeted actions under a new global restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Operating cash flows for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $891 million compared to $585 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $306 million or 52.3% quarter-on-quarter.

1) As of December 31, 2025, and applied retrospectively for all the periods presented, the Company revised its methodology for attributing revenue to geographic areas to reflect the location where sales originate, which represents where critical commercial decisions are made. This may differ from the customer's shipped-to location. The change in reporting basis was made to more appropriately reflect how we manage our business. For 2025, the largest impacts from the change were to the Americas region and the China region, which reflected changes of approximately 104.9% and (57.0)%, respectively.
2) China includes Mainland China and Hong Kong

The year-to-date change in revenue was primarily driven by a lower selling mix of products, slightly offset by higher shipment volumes. The combination of these two effects resulted in a net decrease of $345 million revenue.
From an end market perspective, NXP experienced declines in the Communication Infrastructure & Other and Automotive end markets, which was partially offset by growth in its Mobile and Industrial & IoT end markets versus the year ago period.
Revenue in the Automotive end market was $7,116 million, a decrease of $35 million or 0.5% versus the year ago period. The decline was driven by processors, partially offset by growth in mixed-signal products.
Revenue in the Industrial & IoT end market was $2,273 million, an increase of $4 million or 0.2% versus the year ago period. The increase was attributable to growth in mixed-signal products, partially offset by declines in processors.
Revenue in the Mobile end market was $1,584 million, an increase of $87 million or 5.8% versus the year ago period, with processors and mixed-signal products contributing to the growth.
Revenue in the Communication Infrastructure & Other end market was $1,296 million, a decrease of $401 million or 23.6% versus the year ago period. The decline was primarily due to processors.
When aggregating all end markets and reviewing sales channel performance, revenue from distributors was $7,051 million, a decrease of $152 million or 2.1% versus the year ago period. Revenue from direct customers was $5,084 million, a decrease of $207 million or 3.9% versus the year ago period.
From a geographic perspective, revenue increased year-on-year in the China region and declined in the APAC, EMEA, and Americas regions.

Other income (expense) includes results from manufacturing service arrangements (MSA) and transitional service arrangements (TSA) that are put into place when we divest a business or activity, as well as other activities. These arrangements are expected to decrease as the divested business or activity becomes more established. Other income (expense) reflects an income of $12 million for 2025, compared to an expense of $55 million in 2024, which included a $40 million charge for a vacated deposit on an exited technology.

Financial income (expense) was an expense of $384 million in 2025, compared to an expense of $318 million in 2024. The change in financial income (expense) is attributable to an increase in interest expense of $68 million as a result of the issuance of new bonds, EIB loans and commercial paper notes. Interest income decreased by $15 million as a result of lower cash levels in 2025. Other financial expenses decreased due to adjustments in our investments as well as lower interest related to prior tax positions.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $525 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which reflects an effective tax rate of 19.7% compared to an expense of $545 million (17.6%) for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The effective income tax rate for 2025 was 19.7% compared to 17.6% for 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a different mix of income tax expense across our operating jurisdictions, as well as lower U.S. and NL tax incentives in 2025 due to a decrease in qualifying income and R&D expenses. In addition, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted in the U.S., which reduced the amount of claimable R&D tax credits. Taiwan also had higher tax expense in 2025 due to less undistributed earnings being considered indefinitely reinvested due to changes in the supply chain. These increases were partially offset by tax benefits from settlements with tax authorities.

Results Relating to Equity-accounted Investees
Results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $70 million in 2025, whereas in 2024 results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss of $12 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025, results relating to equity-accounted investees include the impairment of our equity method investment SigmaSense and the loss on the sale of our equity method investment Smart Growth Fund.

Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests are related to the third-party share in the results of consolidated companies, predominantly SSMC. Their share of non-controlling interests amounted to a profit of $47 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a profit of $32 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We derive our liquidity and capital resources primarily from our cash flows from operations. We continue to generate strong positive operating cash flows, and we currently use cash to fund operations, meet working capital requirements, for capital expenditures and for potential common stock repurchases, dividends and strategic investments. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our current available sources of funds (including cash and cash equivalents, RCF Agreement, Commercial Paper Program, EIB facilities, plus anticipated cash generated from operations) will be adequate to finance our operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential dividends for at least the next year.

Cash
As of December 31, 2025, our cash balance was $3,267 million, a decrease of $25 million compared to our cash balance on December 31, 2024 ($3,292 million), of which $361 million (2024: $261 million) was held by SSMC, our consolidated joint venture company with TSMC. Under the terms of our joint venture agreement with TSMC, a portion of this cash can be distributed by way of a dividend to us, but 38.8% of the dividend will be paid to our joint venture partner. During 2025 and 2024, no dividend was declared. During the first quarter of 2026, SSMC declared a dividend of $150 million, of which $75 million is scheduled for distribution in the first quarter, with 38.8% being paid to our joint venture partner.

Revolving Credit Facility
As at December 31, 2025, our amended and restated Unsecured RCF provides for $2,500 million of senior unsecured revolving credit commitments. We may borrow under this RCF in the future and use the proceeds for general corporate purposes and any other purpose not prohibited by the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement and related documentation. As of December 31, 2025, we do not have any borrowings under the RCF.

Commercial Paper Program
Under our Commercial Paper Program, we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes in amounts up to a maximum aggregate face amount of $2,000 million outstanding at any time, with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance and at a discount from par or at par and bear interest at rates determined at the time of issuance. We may issue notes in the future and use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no commercial paper notes outstanding.

EIB Facilities
Our facility agreements with the European Investment Bank (EIB) provide for an aggregate €1,000 million in unsecured senior loan facilities, the proceeds from which are expected to fund the research, development and innovation of semiconductor devices, technologies and solutions in five European countries. Borrowings on these facilities may be denominated in Euro or U.S. Dollar. See Financing Activities further below. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a principal amount of $670 million outstanding under the EIB loan Facility A with a maturity of December 2030 and a fixed annual interest rate of 4.45% and a principal amount of $370 million outstanding under the EIB loan Facility B with a maturity of February 2031 and a fixed annual interest rate of 4.709%.

Under Dutch corporate law and our articles of association, NXP may acquire its own shares if the general meeting of shareholders has granted the board of directors the authority to effect such acquisitions. It is our standard practice to request at our annual general meeting of shareholders (the “AGM”) every year to renew this authorization for a period of 18 months from the AGM. For repurchases of shares in 2024 and 2025, the board of directors made use of the authorizations renewed by the AGM on May 24, 2023, May 29, 2024, and June 11, 2025, respectively. Our board of directors has approved the purchase of shares from participants in NXP's equity programs to satisfy participants' tax withholding obligations ("trade for tax") and this authorization will remain in effect until terminated by the board of directors. In January 2022, the board of directors approved the repurchase of additional shares up to a maximum of $2 billion (the "2022 Share Repurchase Program") and in August 2024, the Board approved the repurchase of additional shares up to a maximum of $2 billion (the "2024 Share Repurchase Program"). During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, NXP repurchased 5.7 million shares, for a total of approximately $1.4 billion under the trade for tax and 2022 Share Repurchase Programs and during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, NXP repurchased 4.4 million shares, for a total of approximately $0.9 billion under the trade for tax, 2022 and 2024 Share Repurchase Programs. Under Dutch tax law, the repurchase of a company’s shares by an entity domiciled in the Netherlands results in a taxable event (unless exemptions apply). The tax on the repurchased shares is attributed to the shareholders, with NXP making the payment on the shareholders’ behalf. As such, the tax on the repurchased shares is accounted for within stockholders’ equity.

Subject to Dutch corporate law and our articles of association, the board of directors of NXP may cancel shares acquired if authorized by the general meeting of shareholders. As with repurchases of our shares, it is our standard practice to request at our AGM every year to renew this authorization for a period of 18 months from the AGM. The board of directors did not make use of the authorization during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Under our Quarterly Dividend Program, interim dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on April 9, 2025 ($257 million), dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on July 9, 2025 ($256 million), dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on October 8, 2025 ($256 million) and dividends of $1.014 per ordinary share were paid on January 7, 2026 ($256 million).

Debt
Our total debt, inclusive of aggregate principal, unamortized discounts, premiums, debt issuance costs and fair value adjustments, amounted to $12,222 million as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $1,368 million compared to December 31, 2024 ($10,854 million).
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding fixed-rate notes with varying maturities for an aggregate principal amount of $11,250 million (collectively the “Notes”), with $1,250 million payable within 12 months. Future interest payments associated with the Notes total $2,874 million, with $409 million payable within 12 months.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding loans with the EIB under the EIB Facilities with maturities in 2030 and 2031 for a principal amount of $1,040 million. Future interest payments associated with the EIB loans total $241 million, with $47 million payable within 12 months.
The Company had a net debt position (see section Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures) at December 31, 2025, of $8,955 million compared to $7,562 million as of December 31, 2024.

We may from time to time continue to seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Additional capital requirements
We believe our current positions in cash and cash equivalents, together with our expected cash flow generated from operations and our expected financing activities, will satisfy our working and other capital requirements for at least the next 12 months based on our current business plans. Recent and expected working and other capital requirements, in addition to the above matters, also include the items described below:

The Company maintains purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials, semi-finished goods and manufacturing services and for some non-production items. Purchase commitments for inventory materials are generally restricted to a forecasted time-horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time horizon can vary for different suppliers. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had purchase commitments, other than commitments directly with our foundry joint ventures, of $3,087 million, of which $1,423 million is expected to be paid in the next 12 months. We expect operating cash outflows to remain elevated as we make payments under these purchase agreements.
The Company has committed to invest €500 million, which translated to $587 million, in the equity of the recently founded company ESMC. As per the end of the reporting date, NXP has invested $183 million. The remaining $404 million is expected to be invested over the coming four years, of which approximately $65 million is expected to be paid in the next 12 months.
The Company has committed to invest approximately $1,600 million in equity of the recently founded company VSMC. As per the end of the reporting date, NXP has invested $631 million. The remaining $969 million is expected to be invested over the coming two years, of which approximately $512 million is expected to be paid in the next 12 months. In addition, NXP has committed to contribute an additional $1,200 million to support the long-term capacity infrastructure. As per the end of the reporting date, NXP has contributed $855 million. The remaining $345 million is expected to be contributed in the next 12 months. Furthermore, NXP has an agreed purchase commitment with VSMC that over the lifetime of the factory the minimal loading will be between 80% - 90%, resulting in a total purchase commitment of approximately $14,096 million that is expected to be purchased over 37 years once wafer production starts.
Amounts related to future lease payments for operating lease obligations at December 31, 2025, totaled $315 million, with $69 million expected to be paid within the next 12 months.
The Company enters into certain technology license arrangements which are used in conjunction with research and development activities for product development. Payments for these technology licenses are made over varying time periods. Outstanding unpaid balances for technology licenses total $270 million as of December 31, 2025, of which $135 million is expected to be paid in the next 12 months.
Cash outflows for capital expenditures were $397 million in 2025, compared to $727 million in 2024. We expect to maintain similar levels of capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue in 2026 consistent with our long-term financial model, given our focus on external investments in foundry partners while still supporting current and future manufacturing and production capacity needs.
46


Our research and development expenditures were $2,360 million in 2025 and $2,347 million in 2024, and we expect to maintain similar levels of investment in research and development as a percentage of revenue in 2026.

From time to time, we engage in discussions with third parties regarding potential acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies and product lines. Any such transaction could require significant use of our cash and cash equivalents or require us to arrange for new debt and equity financing to fund the transaction. Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions. In the future, we may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or we may not have enough capacity under the RCF Agreement, EIB Facility Agreements, Commercial Paper Program, or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness, including outstanding commercial paper notes, and borrowings under the EIB Facilities and RCF Agreements, the unsecured notes or to fund our other liquidity needs, including working capital and capital expenditure requirements. In any such case, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

2025 Financing Activities
On January 13, 2025, NXP B.V. entered into a facility agreement with the European Investment Bank (“EIB Facility B”), which provides for a €360 million unsecured senior loan facility. The proceeds from borrowings under the EIB Facility B are expected to be used to fund the research, development and innovation of semiconductor devices, technologies and solutions in five European countries.

On May 1, 2025, we repaid the $500 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2.7% senior unsecured notes due 2025 at maturity using available cash.

On August 19, 2025, NXP B.V., together with NXP Funding LLC and NXP USA, Inc., issued $500 million of 4.3% senior unsecured notes due August 19, 2028, $300 million of 4.85% senior unsecured notes due August 19, 2032, and $700 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due August 19, 2035.

2024 Financing activities
On November 21, 2024, NXP B.V., NXP Funding LLC and NXP USA Inc. entered into definitive documentation to establish an unsecured Commercial Paper Program under which, on a joint and several basis, short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes may be issued. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time to time, with the aggregate principal amount of commercial paper notes outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program at any time not to exceed $2,000 million. The net proceeds of issuances of the commercial paper notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

On November 22, 2024, NXP B.V. entered into a facility agreement with the European Investment Bank, (“EIB Facility A”), which provides for a €640 million unsecured senior loan facility. The proceeds from borrowings under the EIB Facility A are expected to be used to fund the research, development and innovation of semiconductor devices, technologies and solutions in five European countries.

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents(31)(566)

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our operating activities provided $2,820 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $2,068 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $1,339 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(613) million. Adjustments to net income include offsetting non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $832 million, share-based compensation of $462 million, and results relating to equity-accounted investees of $70 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $308 million increase in inventories in order to align inventory on hand with expected demand, $212 million increase in other non-current assets due to payments to secure production supply with multiple vendors (driven primarily to support the long-term capacity infrastructure of VSMC), and $50 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities due primarily from payments related to the settlement of clean room cases.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, our operating activities provided $2,782 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $2,542 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $1,151 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(923) million. Adjustments to net income include offsetting non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $925 million, share-based compensation of $461 million, a loss on equity securities of $18 million, results relating to equity-accounted investees of $12 million and changes in deferred taxes of $(272) million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by a $222 million increase in inventories in order to align inventory on hand with expected demand, $207 million increase in receivables and other current assets due to the related timing of cash collection (driven primarily by distributors), $188 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities as a result of timing related to payments and lower purchases, and $306 million increase in other non-current assets due to payments to secure production supply with multiple vendors (driven primarily by payments of $275 million to support the long-term capacity infrastructure of VSMC).

Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $2,357 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and principally consisted of the cash outflows from the purchase of interests in business (net of cash acquired) of $1,175 million (mainly driven by the acquisitions of TTTech Auto for $675 million, Kinara of $283 million, Aviva Links of $202 million), purchase of investments of $649 million (driven primarily by the capital contributions of $491 million into VSMC and approximately $92 million into ESMC), capital expenditures of $397 million, and $140 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets.

Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $686 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and principally consisted of the cash outflows for capital expenditures of $727 million, $149 million for the purchase of identified intangible assets, and $260 million for the purchase of investments (driven primarily by the capital contributions of approximately $80 million into ESMC and approximately $140 million into VSMC); partially offset by the $409 million for the proceeds of short-term deposits and $30 million for the advance payment from sale of property, plant and equipment.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $494 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was primarily driven by the dividend payment to common stockholders of $1,025 million, purchase of treasury shares and restricted stock unit holdings of $899 million, and repurchase of long-term debt of $500 million; partially offset by the $1,868 million proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and $83 million proceeds from the issuance of common stock through stock plans. In addition, we issued commercial paper notes for $2,426 million during the year, which were fully repaid by December 31, 2025.

Information Regarding Guarantors of NXP (unaudited)

Summarized Combined Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries
All debt instruments are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, by NXP Semiconductors N.V. and issued or guaranteed by NXP USA, Inc., NXP B.V. and NXP Funding LLC, (together, the “Subsidiary Obligors” and together with NXP Semiconductors N.V., the “Obligor Group”). Other than the Subsidiary Obligors, none of the Company’s subsidiaries (together the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guarantee the Notes. The Company consolidates the Subsidiary Obligors in its consolidated financial statements and each of the Subsidiary Obligors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

All of the existing guarantees by the Company rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Obligor Group. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
The following tables present summarized financial information of the Obligor Group on a combined basis, with intercompany balances and transactions between entities of the Obligor Group eliminated and investments and equity in the earnings of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries excluded.

liabilities of the tax entity as a whole, and as such the income tax expense of the Dutch fiscal unity has been included in the net income of the Obligor Group.

The financial information of the Obligor Group includes sales executed through a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary single-billing entity as a sales agent on behalf of an entity in the Obligor Group. The Obligor Group has sales to non-guarantors (2025: $723 million). The Obligor Group has amounts due from equity financing (2025: $5,520 million) and due to debt financing (2025: $2,695 million) with non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Our management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, current economic and industry conditions and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain and based on information available when the estimates were made. In the following section, we discuss our most critical accounting estimates and the judgments involved.
Business combinations
In accounting for acquisitions, we apply ASC 805, which requires identifying and measuring the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, including intangible assets, as of the acquisition date. Determining these fair values involves significant estimates and assumptions, including discount rates, valuation models, and the expected future economic benefits of acquired technologies, in-process research and development and customer relationships. These judgments directly affect the valuation of intangible assets recognized in a business combination and therefore represent a critical accounting estimate. Assumptions such as projected future cash flows, economic and industry conditions, market segment growth rates and useful lives require significant judgment and are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions may materially impact the amounts recognized. In periods following an acquisition, updates to assumptions may result in adjustments to provisional amounts during the measurement period.

Inventories
We regularly review our inventories and write down our inventories for estimated losses due to obsolescence. This allowance is determined for groups of products based on sales of our products in the recent past and/or projected future demand. Future demand is affected by market conditions, technological obsolescence, new products and strategic plans, each of which is subject to change with little or no forewarning.

Goodwill
Goodwill is required to be assessed for impairment at least once annually, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, which includes evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of an impairment of a reporting unit’s goodwill. Such events or changes in circumstances can include significant changes in business climate, operating performance or competition, or upon the disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred between annual test dates. We perform impairment tests using a fair value approach when necessary. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows, discount rates based on weighted average cost of capital and future economic and market conditions. We base our fair-value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual cash flow amounts for future periods may differ from estimates used in impairment testing.

Impairment or disposal of identified long-lived assets
We perform reviews of long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than what we had originally
50


estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, we assess the recoverability of the long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to the assets or based on appraisals. Impairment losses, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or their estimated fair values less costs to sell and are not depreciated.

The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of our intangible and other long-lived assets are complex and subjective. Future values include estimates of future cash flows and estimates of fair value. These assumptions and estimates can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our forecasts for specific product lines.

Revenue recognition
In determining the transaction price of contracts with customers, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is estimated and includes the impact of discounts, price protection, product returns and distributor incentive programs. The estimate of variable consideration is dependent on a variety of factors, including contractual terms, analysis of historical data, current economic conditions, industry demand and both the current and forecasted pricing environments.

For some sales to distributors, contractual arrangements are in place which allow these distributors to return products if certain conditions are met. These return rights are a form of variable consideration and are estimated using the most likely method based on historical return rates in order to reduce revenues recognized. However, long notice periods associated with these announcements prevent significant amounts of product from being returned. For sales where return rights exist, the Company has determined, based on historical data, that only a small percentage of the sales of this type to distributors is actually returned. Sales to most distributors are made under programs common in the semiconductor industry whereby distributors receive certain price adjustments to meet individual competitive opportunities. These programs may include credits granted to distributors, or allow distributors to return or scrap a limited amount of product in accordance with contractual terms agreed upon with the distributor, or receive price protection credits when our standard published prices are lowered from the price the distributor paid for product still in its inventory. In determining the transaction price, the Company considers the price adjustments from these programs to be variable consideration that reduce the amount of revenue recognized. The Company’s policy is to estimate such price adjustments using the most likely method based on rolling historical experience rates, as well as pricing in the distribution channel for distributors who participate in our volume rebate incentive program. We continually monitor the actual claimed allowances against our estimates, and we adjust our estimates as appropriate to reflect trends in pricing environments and inventory levels. The estimates are also adjusted when recent historical data does not represent anticipated future activity. Historically, actual price adjustments for these programs relative to those estimated have not materially differed.

Income taxes
The application of tax laws and regulations to calculate our tax liabilities is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment, and uncertainty in a multitude of jurisdictions. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations, and court rulings. For each jurisdiction, we recognize a tax liability and/or asset based on our best estimate of these technical merits.

Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial information on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”), NXP also provides selected financial measures on a non-GAAP basis which
51


are adjusted for specified items. The adjustments made to achieve these non-GAAP financial measures or the non-GAAP financial measures as specified are described below, including the usefulness to management and investors.

In managing NXP’s business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. In measuring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions taken to reduce costs with the goal of increasing our gross margin and operating margin and when assessing appropriate levels of research and development efforts. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and other operating expenses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting NXP’s business. We believe that they enable investors to perform additional comparisons of our operating results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of expenses unrelated to core operating performance, certain non-cash expenses and share-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in NXP’s underlying performance. This information also enables investors to compare financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management.

The presentation of these and other similar items in NXP’s non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Adjustment or MeasureDefinitionUsefulness to Management and Investors
Purchase price accounting effectsPurchase price accounting ("PPA") effects reflect the fair value adjustments impacting acquisition accounting and other acquisition adjustments charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This typically relates to inventory, property, plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets, such as developed technology and marketing and customer relationships acquired. The PPA effects are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements. These charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years.We believe that excluding these charges related to fair value adjustments for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures allows the users of our financial statements to better understand the historic and current cost of our products, our gross margin, our operating costs, our operating margin, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.
RestructuringRestructuring charges are costs associated with a restructuring plan and are primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. Charges related to restructuring are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statementsWe exclude restructuring charges, including any adjustments to charges recorded in prior periods, for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Share-based compensationShare-based compensation consists of incentive expense granted to eligible employees in the form of equity based instruments. Charges related to share-based compensation are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements.We exclude charges related to share-based compensation for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe these charges, which are non-cash, are not representative of our core operating performance as they can fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within our control, such as our stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a useful view, through the eyes of management, of our core business model, how management currently evaluates core operational performance, and additional means to evaluate expense trends.
52


Non-GAAP Adjustment or MeasureDefinitionUsefulness to Management and Investors
Other incidentalsOther incidentals consist of certain items which may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. These may include such items as process and product transfer costs, certain charges related to acquisitions and divestitures, litigation and legal settlements, costs associated with the exit of a product line, factory or facility, environmental or governmental settlements, and other items of similar nature.We exclude these certain items which may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company’s core operating performance for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Income tax effectNon-GAAP income tax benefit (provision) is NXP's GAAP income tax benefit (provision) adjusted for the income tax effects of the adjustments to our GAAP measure, including the effects of PPA, restructuring costs, share-based compensation, other incidental items and certain other adjustments to financial income (expense) items. Additionally, adjustments are made for the income tax effect of any discrete items that occur in the interim period. Discrete items primarily relate to unexpected tax events that may occur as these amounts cannot be forecasted (e.g., the impact of changes in tax law and/or rates, changes in estimates or resolved tax audits relating to prior year tax provisions, the excess or deficit tax effects on share-based compensation, etc.).The non-GAAP income tax benefit (provision) is used to ascertain and present on a comparable basis NXP's income tax benefit (provision) after adjustments, the usefulness of which is described within this table.
Free cash flowFree cash flow represents operating cash flow adjusted for net additions to property, plant and equipment.We believe that free cash flow provides insight into our cash-generating capability and our financial performance, and is an efficient means by which users of our financial statements can evaluate our cash flow after meeting our capital expenditure.
Net debtNet debt represents total debt (short-term and long-term) after deduction of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits.We believe this measure provides investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect of calculating our net leverage.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates because we finance certain operations through fixed and variable rate debt instruments and denominate our transactions in a variety of foreign currencies. Changes in these rates may have an impact on future cash flow and earnings. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

By using derivative instruments, we are subject to credit and market risk. The fair market value of the derivative instruments is determined by using valuation models whose inputs are derived using market observable inputs, including interest rate yield curves, as well as foreign exchange and commodity spot and forward rates, and reflects the asset or liability position as of the end of each reporting period. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, thus creating a receivable risk for us. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to our derivative agreements. We minimize counterparty credit (or repayment) risk by entering into transactions with major financial institutions of investment grade credit rating. Our exposure to market risk is not hedged in a manner that completely eliminates the effects of changing market conditions on earnings or cash flow.

Interest Rate Risk
Our RCF Agreement has a $2,500 million borrowing capacity with a floating rate interest. As there are currently no borrowings under this facility, a hypothetical increase in interest rates would not have caused any change to our interest expense on our floating rate debt.

Additional information is provided in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 14 - Debt, of our notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. of this Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Foreign Currency Risks
We are also exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which could affect operating results as well as our financial position and cash flows. We monitor our exposures to these market risks and generally employ operating and financing activities to offset these exposures where appropriate. If we do not have operating or financing activities to sufficiently offset these exposures, from time to time, we may employ derivative financial instruments such as swaps, collars, forwards, options or other instruments to limit the volatility to earnings and cash flows generated by these exposures. Derivative financial instruments are only used for hedging purposes and not for trading or speculative purposes. All counterparties to our derivatives contracts are major banking institutions. In the event of financial insolvency or distress of a counterparty to our derivative financial instruments, we may be unable to settle transactions if the counterparty does not provide us with sufficient collateral to secure its net settlement obligation to us, which could have a negative impact on our results. The Company measures all derivative financial instruments based on fair values derived from market prices of the instruments or from option pricing models, as appropriate and record these as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. Changes in the fair values are recognized in the statement of operations immediately unless cash flow hedge accounting is applied. A summary of our foreign currency accounting policies is provided in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, of our notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. of this Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

At December 31, 2025, our net liability related to foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges of foreign currency risk on certain operating expenditure transactions was $6 million. If our forecasted operating expenditures for currencies in which we hedge were to decline by 20% and foreign exchange rates were to change unfavorably by 20% in our hedged foreign currency, we would incur a negligible loss.

Financial assets and liabilities held by consolidated subsidiaries that are not denominated in the functional currency of those entities are subject to the effects of currency fluctuations and may affect reported earnings. As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We may hedge currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies and certain
56


anticipated nonfunctional currency transactions. As a result, we could experience unanticipated gains or losses on anticipated foreign currency cash flows, as well as economic loss with respect to the recoverability of investments.

Our primary foreign currency exposure relates to the U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate. However, our foreign currency exposures also relate, but are not limited, to the Chinese Yuan, the India Rupee, the Japanese Yen, the Malaysian Ringgit, the Romanian Leu, the Singapore Dollar, the New Taiwan Dollar, the Thai Baht and the Swiss Franc.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of NXP Semiconductors N.V.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NXP Semiconductors N.V. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 19, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion hereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue recognition – Variable consideration under the distributor incentive programs

Description of the Matter
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, revenue is recorded for customers based on the amount that is expected to be collected, which considers whether the price is subject to a refund or adjustment. This variable consideration is estimated and reflects the impact of distributor incentive programs. The Company’s policy is to estimate such variable consideration using the most likely amount method, which takes into account the contractual terms, historical experience of rebate rates and pricing for distributors who participate in a distributor incentive program.

Auditing management’s estimate of variable consideration under the distributor incentive programs is complex, due to the uncertainty inherent to the estimate, the application of management judgment, and the significant assumptions as noted above utilized in estimating the variable consideration.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process for estimating the variable consideration of the distributor incentive programs. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the assumptions used, results of calculations and assessment of the underlying data.

To test management’s estimate of the variable consideration of the distributor incentive programs, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the estimation methodology used, the significant assumptions described above, and the underlying data used by the Company. We evaluated the estimation methodology used by management against the requirements of ASC 606. To evaluate the significant assumptions used by management, we compared them to the historical results and practices of the Company. Our audit procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of data inputs used by the Company included vouching distributor inventory on hand, rebate rates used and amounts of unclaimed distributor resales to contractual agreements, external confirmations and historical price and claim data, as appropriate. We also assessed the accuracy of management’s estimates by testing a sample of actual claimed allowances subsequent to year-end, against the period-end estimate.
60


Valuation of certain intangible assets acquired in business combinations
Description of the Matter
As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2025, the Company completed the acquisitions of TTTech Auto, Aviva Links and Kinara, Inc., for net considerations of $766 million, $248 million and $284 million, respectively. The fair value of identified intangible assets acquired, totaled $798 million and principally consisted of software, existing technology and in-process research and development (collectively, the “intangible assets”).
The Company used the excess earnings method to estimate the fair values of the intangible assets acquired. The significant assumption management used to estimate the fair values of the intangible assets was the revenue growth rate for each acquired business.

Auditing the Company’s valuation of the intangible assets was complex and required a high degree of auditor judgment, due to the significant estimation uncertainty inherent in assessing the revenue growth rates used by management, particularly because of the relatively limited market data about software-defined vehicle and AI-powered edge systems, on which to base the revenue growth rates.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls over the Company’s accounting for business combination transactions. For example, we tested controls over the identification of intangible assets and the determination of the revenue growth rates.

To audit the Company’s valuation of the intangible assets acquired, among other procedures, we read the purchase agreements and involved our valuation specialists to assist with our evaluation of whether the valuation methodology used by the Company was consistent with common valuation practice. Other procedures we performed, included assessing the reasonableness of the revenue growth rates by comparison to relevant third-party industry reports and, where possible, to historical revenues of the acquired business and anticipated and confirmed design-in and contract wins.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of NXP Semiconductors N.V.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited NXP Semiconductors N.V.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, NXP Semiconductors N.V. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) and our report dated February 20, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


62


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NXP Semiconductors N.V.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
All amounts in millions of $ unless otherwise stated

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Overview

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Net income (loss) includes the portion of the earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. The income (loss) and equity attributable to non-controlling interests are disclosed separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under non-controlling interests. We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation.

Segment reporting
NXP has one reportable segment representing the entity as a whole and reflects the way in which our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, executes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of semiconductor products to distributors and direct customers. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is estimated and includes the impact of discounts, price protection, product returns and distributor incentive programs. The estimate of variable consideration is dependent on a variety of factors, including contractual terms, analysis of historical data, current economic conditions, industry demand and both the current and forecasted pricing environments. The process of evaluating these factors is subjective and requires estimates including, but not limited to, forecasted demand, returns, pricing assumptions and inventory levels. The estimate of variable consideration is not typically constrained because the Company has extensive experience with these contracts.

Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. In determining whether control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, and whether risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer.

The Company applies the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. The Company applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.

For sales to distributors, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the distributor. For some distributors, contractual arrangements are in place which allow these distributors to return products if certain conditions are met. These conditions generally relate to the time period during which a return is allowed and reflect customary conditions in the particular geographic market. Other return conditions relate to circumstances arising at the end of a product life cycle, when certain distributors are permitted to return products purchased during a pre-defined period after the Company has announced a product’s pending discontinuance. These return rights are a form of variable consideration and are estimated using the most likely method based on historical return rates in order to reduce revenues recognized. However, long notice periods associated with these announcements prevent significant amounts of product from being returned. For sales where return rights exist, the Company has determined, based on historical data, that only a small percentage of the sales of this type to distributors is actually returned. Repurchase agreements with direct customers or distributors are not entered into by the Company.

Sales to most distributors are made under programs common in the semiconductor industry whereby distributors receive certain price adjustments to meet individual competitive opportunities. These programs may include credits granted to distributors, or allow distributors to return or scrap a limited amount of product in accordance with contractual terms agreed upon with the distributor, or receive price protection credits when our standard published prices are lowered from the price the distributor paid for product still in its inventory. In determining the transaction price, the Company considers the price adjustments from these programs to be variable consideration that reduce the amount of revenue recognized. The Company’s policy is to estimate such price adjustments using the most likely amount method based on rolling historical experience rates, as well as pricing in the distribution channel for distributors who participate in our volume rebate incentive program. We continually monitor the actual claimed allowances against our estimates, and we adjust our estimates as
71


appropriate to reflect trends in pricing environments and inventory levels. The estimates are also adjusted when recent historical data does not represent anticipated future activity. Historically, actual price adjustments for these programs relative to those estimated have not materially differed.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at face value which approximates fair value. Short-term deposits representing cash equivalents with original maturity beyond three months are reported as current assets in the line “Short-term deposits” of the consolidated balance sheets.

Receivables
Receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of allowances for credit loss and net of rebates and other contingent discounts granted to distributors. When circumstances indicate a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligation to us is impaired, we record an allowance against amounts due and value the receivable at the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, we evaluate our trade accounts receivable risk of credit loss based on numerous factors including historical loss rates, credit-risk concentration, and specific circumstances such as serious adverse economic conditions in a specific country or region.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An allowance is made for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. This allowance is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand and market conditions. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense and waste are not capitalized in inventory. The allocation of fixed production overheads to the inventory cost is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.

Government assistance
Government grants, other than those relating to purchases of assets, are recognized as a reduction of expenditure as qualified expenditures are made.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Government investment grants are deducted from the cost of the related asset. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected economic life of the asset. Depreciation of special tooling is also based on the straight-line method unless a depreciation method other than the straight-line method better represents the consumption pattern. Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in other income and expense. Plant and equipment under finance leases are initially recorded at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of minimum lease payments. These assets and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. Once it is determined that an arrangement is, or contains, a lease, that determination should only be reassessed if the legal arrangement is modified. Changes to assumptions such as market-based factors do not trigger a reassessment. Determining whether a contract contains a lease requires judgment. In general, arrangements are considered to be a lease when all of the following apply:
It conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration;
We have substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset; and
We can direct the use of the identified asset.
72


The terms of a lease arrangement determine how a lease is classified and the resulting income statement recognition. When the terms of a lease effectively transfer control of the underlying asset, the lease represents an in substance financed purchase (sale) of an asset and the lease is classified as a finance lease by the lessee and a sales-type lease by the lessor. When a lease does not effectively transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee, but the lessor obtains a guarantee for the value of the asset from a third party, the lessor would classify a lease as a direct financing lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at January 1, 2019, the date of the adoption of ASC 842, or commencement date, if later, in determining the present value of future payments. The lease payments that are included in the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate; amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; the exercise price of a purchase option that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; and payments for terminating the lease unless it is reasonably certain that early termination will not occur. The lease right-of-use (ROU) asset includes any lease payment made and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms include the non-cancelable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and the periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise the option.

For operating leases, the lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the consolidated statement of operations over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The finance lease asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. Except for gas and chemical contracts, NXP did not make the election to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single component and considers the non-lease components as a separate unit of account.

Equity investments
NXP’s equity investments include equity method investments, marketable equity investments and non-marketable equity investments.

Equity method investments: NXP’s investments over which it has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in NXP’s share of net assets of the equity-accounted investee since the acquisition date. NXP’s share of the results of operations of the equity-accounted investees are recognized in ‘Results relating to equity-accounted investees’ on a one-quarter lag.

Marketable equity investments: all equity investments with a readily determinable fair value, other than equity-method investments, in unconsolidated entities are measured at fair value through earnings in the statement of operations on a recurring basis. We classify marketable securities as current or non-current based on the nature of the securities and their availability for use in current operations. Gains and losses on investments in marketable equity securities, realized and unrealized, are recognized in ‘Financial income (expense)’.

Non-marketable equity investments: all equity investments without a readily determinable fair value, other than equity-method investments, in unconsolidated entities are recorded at cost, less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar securities. All gains and losses on investments in non-marketable equity investments, realized and unrealized, are recognized in ‘Financial income (expense)’.

We monitor our equity method investments and non-marketable equity securities for events or changes in circumstances which may indicate the investments are impaired. If an assessment indicates an investment is
73


impaired, we recognize a charge for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value. For equity method investments, we record impairment losses in earnings only when impairments are considered other-than-temporary.

Business combinations
We allocate the purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with our acquisitions based on their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates and judgments that could materially affect the timing or amounts recognized in our financial statements.

Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of acquired intangible assets, including the valuation methodology, estimations of future cash flows, discount rates, market segment growth rates, and our assumed market segment share, as well as the estimated useful life of intangible assets. Further judgment is required in estimating the fair values of deferred tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances, which are initially estimated as of the acquisition date, as well as inventory, property, plant and equipment, pre-existing liabilities or legal claims and contingent consideration, each as may be applicable.

The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain. Our assumptions and estimates are based upon comparable market data and information obtained from our management and the management of the acquired companies as well as the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected revenue growth rates and profitability), the underlying product or technology life cycles, the economic barriers to entry and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. As such, acquired tangible and identified intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

Goodwill
We record goodwill when the purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. We assign the goodwill to our reporting unit based on the relative expected fair value provided by the acquisition. We perform an impairment assessment at least once annually, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, which includes evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of an impairment of the reporting unit’s goodwill. We perform impairment tests using a fair value approach when necessary. The reporting unit’s carrying value used in an impairment test represents the assignment of various assets and liabilities, excluding certain corporate assets and liabilities, such as cash, investments and debt.

Identified intangible assets
Licensed technology and patents are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods of benefit. We amortize all acquisition-related intangible assets that are subject to amortization over their estimated useful life based on economic benefit. Acquisition-related in-process R&D assets represent the fair value of incomplete R&D projects that had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition; initially, these assets are not subject to amortization. Assets related to projects that have been completed are subject to amortization, while assets related to projects that have been abandoned are impaired and expensed to R&D.

We perform an impairment assessment for indefinite-lived intangible assets at least once annually, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If necessary, a quantitative impairment test is performed to compare the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset with its carrying value. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.


Impairment or disposal of identified long-lived assets
74


We perform reviews of long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment, ROU assets, and intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than what we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, we assess the recoverability of the long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to the assets or based on appraisals. Impairment losses, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If an asset’s useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or their estimated fair values less costs to sell and are not depreciated.

Fair value measurements
Fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for an identical asset or liability, we develop assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, utilize internal information that we consider to be consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Priority is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs form the basis for the following fair value hierarchy.
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and valuations based on models where the inputs or significant value drivers are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
75


Foreign currencies
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of the entities within the Company with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates on the applicable balance sheet dates. Income and expense items in the statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows are translated at monthly exchange rates in the periods involved.

The effects of translating the financial position and results of operations from functional currencies to reporting currency are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. If the operation is a non-wholly owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is recorded under non-controlling interests.

The following table sets out the exchange rates for U.S. dollars from euros applicable for translation of NXP’s financial statements for the periods specified.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction or the date of valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of operations, except when the foreign exchange exposure is part of a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge accounting relationship, in which case the related foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective and presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in the statement of operations. Currency gains and losses on intercompany loans that have the nature of a permanent investment are recognized as translation differences in other comprehensive income and are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity.

Derivative financial instruments including hedge accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the management of its foreign currency risks and the input costs of gold for a portion of our anticipated purchases within the next 12 months.

The Company measures all derivative financial instruments based on fair values derived from market prices of the instruments or from option pricing models, as appropriate, and records these as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. Changes in the fair values are immediately recognized in the statement of operations unless cash flow hedge accounting is applied. The cash flows associated with these derivative instruments are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the hedged transaction.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. The cash flows associated with these derivative instruments are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the hedged transaction. The application of cash flow hedge accounting for foreign currency risks is limited to transactions that represent a substantial currency risk that could materially affect the financial position of the Company.

76


Foreign currency gains or losses arising from the translation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, to the extent that the hedge is effective, and are presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.

To the extent that a hedge is ineffective, the ineffective portion of the fair value change is recognized in the statements of operations. When the hedged net investment is disposed of, the corresponding amount in the accumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to the statement of operations as part of the profit or loss on disposal.

On initial designation of the hedge relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, the Company documents this relationship, including the risk management objectives, strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, and the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk.

When cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued because it is not probable that a forecasted transaction will occur within a period of two months from the originally forecasted transaction date, the Company continues to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings. In situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any changes in its fair value in earnings.

The gross notional amounts of the Company’s foreign currency derivatives by currency for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were as follows:

Dividends to shareholders
Dividends to the Company’s shareholders are charged to retained earnings when the dividends are approved.

Stock repurchases and retirement
For each repurchase of common stock, the number of shares and the acquisition price for those shares is added to the existing treasury stock count and total value. When treasury shares are retired, the Company's policy is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both Retained Earnings and Capital in Excess of Par. The portion allocated to Capital in Excess of Par is calculated by applying a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares to be retired by the number of shares issued, to the balance of Capital in Excess of Par as of the retirement date.

77


Research and development
Costs of research and development (R&D) are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, except for in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets acquired in business combinations, which are capitalized and, after completion, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.

Debt issuance costs
Direct costs incurred to obtain financings are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. Upon extinguishment of any related debt, any unamortized debt issuance costs are expensed immediately.

Restructuring
The provision for restructuring relates to the estimated costs of initiated restructurings that have been approved by Management. When such plans require discontinuance and/or closure of lines of activities, the anticipated costs of closure or discontinuance are recorded at fair value when the liability has been incurred. The Company determines the fair value based on discounted projected cash flows in the absence of other observable inputs such as quoted prices. The restructuring liability includes the estimated cost of termination benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement, costs to terminate leases and other contracts, and selling costs associated with assets held for sale and other costs related to the closure of facilities. One-time employee termination benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period when those employees are required to render services to the Company, if that period exceeds 60 days or a longer legal notification period. However, generally, employee termination benefits are covered by a contract or an ongoing benefit arrangement and are recognized when it is probable that the employees will be entitled to the benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) primarily consists of gains and losses related to divestment of activities and subsidiaries, as well as gains and losses related to the sale of long-lived assets and other non-core operating items. This includes income derived from manufacturing service arrangements (MSA) and transitional service arrangements (TSA) that are put in place when we divest a business or activity as well as related expenditures.

Financial income and expense
Financial income and expense is comprised of interest income on cash and cash equivalent balances, the interest expense on borrowings, the accretion of the discount or premium on issued debt, the gain or loss on the disposal of financial assets, impairment losses on financial assets and gains or losses on hedging instruments recognized in the statement of operations.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the statement of operations using the effective interest method.

Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based upon the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax liabilities for income taxes or withholding taxes on dividends from subsidiaries are recognized in situations where the Company does not consider the earnings indefinitely reinvested and to the extent that the withholding taxes are not expected to be refundable.

78


Deferred tax assets, including assets arising from loss carryforwards, are recognized, net of a valuation allowance, if based upon the available evidence it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

The income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The income tax benefit recognized is measured based on the largest benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon resolution of the uncertainty. Unrecognized tax benefits are presented as a reduction to the deferred tax asset for related temporary differences, tax credits or net operating loss carryforwards, unless these would not be available, in which case the uncertain tax benefits are presented together with the related interest and penalties as a liability, under accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities based on the timing of the expected payment. Penalties related to income taxes are recorded as income tax expense, whereas interest is reported as financial expense in the statement of operations.

Taxes due on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) inclusions in the U.S. are recognized as a current period expense when incurred.

Postretirement benefits
The Company’s employees participate in pension and other postretirement benefit plans in many countries. The costs of pension and other postretirement benefits and related assets and liabilities with respect to the Company’s employees participating in the various plans are based upon actuarial valuations.

Some of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans are funded with plan assets that have been segregated and restricted in a trust, foundation or insurance company to provide for the pension benefits to which the Company has committed itself.

The net liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of the postretirement plans is the present value of the projected benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets at the balance sheet date. Most of the Company’s plans are unfunded and result in a provision or a net liability.

For the Company’s major plans, the discount rate is derived from market yields on high quality corporate bonds. Plans in countries without a deep corporate bond market use a discount rate based on the local government bond rates.

Benefit plan costs primarily represent the increase in the actuarial present value of the obligation for benefits based on employee service during the year and the interest on this obligation in respect of employee service in previous years, net of the expected return on plan assets and net of employee contributions.

Actuarial gains and losses arise mainly from changes in actuarial assumptions and differences between actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred. They are recognized in the statement of operations, over the expected average remaining service periods of the employees only to the extent that their net cumulative amount exceeds 10% of the greater of the present value of the obligation or of the fair value of plan assets at the end of the previous year (the corridor). Events which invoke a curtailment or a settlement of a benefit plan will be recognized in our statement of operations.

In calculating obligation and expense, the Company is required to select actuarial assumptions. These assumptions include discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, assumed health care trend rates and rates of increase in compensation costs determined based on current market conditions, historical information and consultation with and input from our actuaries. Changes in the key assumptions can have a significant impact to the projected benefit obligations, funding requirements and periodic cost incurred.

Unrecognized prior-service costs related to the plans are amortized to the statements of operations over the average remaining service period of the active employees.
79



Contributions to defined contribution and multi-employer pension plans are recognized as an expense in the statements of operations as incurred.

The Company determines the fair value of plan assets based on quoted prices or comparable prices for non-quoted assets. For a defined benefit pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation; for any other postretirement defined benefit plan it is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.

The Company recognizes as a component of other comprehensive income, net of taxes, the gains or losses and prior service costs that arise during the year but are not recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, including the gains or losses and the prior services costs are adjusted as they are subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs.

For all the Company’s postretirement benefit plans, the measurement date is December 31, our year-end.

Share-based compensation
We recognize compensation expense for all share-based awards based on the grant-date estimated fair values, net of an estimated forfeiture rate. NXP’s grants through the incentive plan are equity settled. Share-based compensation cost for restricted share units (RSUs) with time-based vesting is measured based on the closing fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant, reduced by the present value of the estimated expected future dividends, and then multiplied by the number of RSUs granted. Share-based compensation cost for performance-based share units (PSUs) granted with performance or market conditions is measured using a Monte-Carlo simulation model on the date of grant.

The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods in our statements of operations. For stock options, PSUs and RSUs, the grant-date value, less estimated pre-vest forfeitures, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The vesting period for stock options is generally four years, for RSUs and PSUs it is generally three years.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share attributable to stockholders is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

To determine diluted share count, we apply the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of outstanding stock option shares, RSUs, PSUs, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) shares and MT Annual Incentive Plan. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising share-based awards and the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

Concentration of risk
Financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, that may potentially subject NXP to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, short-term investments, long-term investments, accounts receivable and forward contracts.

We sell our products to direct customers and to distributors in various markets, who resell these products to direct customers or to their subcontract manufacturers. One of our distributors accounted for 23% of our revenue in 2025, 22% in 2024 and 21% in 2023. No other distributor accounted for greater than 10% of our revenue for 2025, 2024 or 2023. No direct customers accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for 2025, 2024 or 2023.

Credit exposure related to NXP’s foreign currency forward contracts is limited to the realized and unrealized gains on these contracts.

80


The Company uses outside suppliers or foundries for a portion of its manufacturing capacity.

We have operations in Europe and Asia subject to collective bargaining agreements which could pose a risk to the Company but we do not expect that our operations will be disrupted if such is the case.

Recent accounting standards
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and disclosure of income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated. We adopted the new standard retrospectively for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The amendments in ASU 2025-10 add guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants, leveraging the principles in IAS 20. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance and do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. It requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements were issued or became effective in the period that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 – Acquisitions and Divestments

2025

TTTech Auto acquisition
On June 17, 2025, NXP announced the closing of the acquisition of 100% of TTTech Auto for $766 million in cash ($675 million net of cash acquired). TTTech Auto is a leader in innovating unique safety-critical systems and middleware for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The TTTech Auto acquisition complements and expands NXP’s system and software offerings in the Automotive and Industrial & IoT end markets.

The fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the TTTech Auto acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:

Cash
91 
Other assets
74 
Other liabilities
(52)
Identified intangible assets347 
Goodwill306 
Net assets acquired766 

The purchase price allocation contains valuations related to certain assets and liabilities as some of the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as additional information becomes available.

Goodwill arising from the TTTech Auto acquisition is attributed to the anticipated growth from new product sales, sales to new customers, the assembled workforce, and synergies expected from the combination. The goodwill recognized is non-deductible for income tax purposes.

The identified intangible assets assumed were recognized as follows:
Fair value
Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (in Years)
Software267 11.5
Technology25 11.5
Customer relationships50 8.5
Order backlog5 3.5
Total identified intangible assets347 10.9

The income approach was applied to estimate the fair values of the intangible assets acquired. Software, technology, customer relationships, and order backlog were valued using the excess earnings method, which reflects the present values of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the software, technology, customer relationships, and order backlog less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows.

Aviva Links acquisition
On October 24, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Aviva Links for $222 million in cash ($202 million net of cash acquired) and $26 million through the settlement of previously held investments in Aviva Links. Aviva Links is a provider of Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) compliant in-vehicle connectivity solutions. The Aviva Links acquisition complements and expands NXP’s automotive networking solutions in the
82


Automotive and Industrial & IoT end markets.
The fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the Aviva Links acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:

Other assets20 
Other liabilities(64)
IPR&D197 
Goodwill95 
Net assets acquired248 

The purchase price allocation contains valuations related to certain assets and liabilities as some of the estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as additional information becomes available.

Goodwill arising from the Aviva Links acquisition is attributed to the value related to new technological innovations from future product sales, sales to new customers, the assembled workforce, and synergies expected from the combination. The goodwill recognized is non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Acquired IPR&D is an intangible asset classified as an indefinite lived asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development effort. IPR&D will be amortized over an estimated useful life to be determined at the date the associated research and development effort is completed, or expensed immediately when, and if, the project is abandoned. Acquired IPR&D is not amortized during the period that it is considered indefinite lived, but rather is subject to annual testing for impairment or when there are indicators for impairment.

The excess earnings method, a variant of the income approach, was applied to estimate the fair value of the IPR&D acquired. The fair value represents the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the IPR&D, adjusted for contributory asset charges related to other acquired assets.

Kinara, Inc. acquisition
On October 27, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Kinara, Inc. for $284 million in cash ($283 million net of cash acquired). Kinara is an industry leader in high performance, energy-efficient and programmable discrete neural processing units (NPUs). The Kinara acquisition complements and expands NXP’s solutions for AI-powered edge systems in the Industrial & IoT and Automotive end markets.

The fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the Kinara acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:

Other assets6 
Other liabilities(59)
Identified intangible assets254

Total identified intangible assets254 9.2
1 IPR&D is an intangible asset classified as an indefinite lived asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development effort. IPR&D will be amortized over an estimated useful life to be determined at the date the associated research and development effort is completed, or expensed immediately when, and if, the project is abandoned. Acquired IPR&D is not amortized during the period that it is considered indefinite lived, but rather is subject to annual testing for impairment or when there are indicators for impairment.

The excess earnings method, a variant of the income approach, was applied to estimate the fair values of the technology and IPR&D. The fair values represent the present values of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the technology or IPR&D, adjusted for contributory asset charges related to other acquired assets. In addition, the existing customer relationships are valued using the distributor method, a variant of the income approach, in which a market-based distributor profit margin is used to allocate profits to this intangible asset.

Divestments
There were no material divestments during 2025.

2024
There were no material acquisitions or divestments during 2024.

Note 4 – Assets Held for Sale

In the second quarter of 2025, NXP management, in reviewing its portfolio, concluded that certain activities related to our MEMS sensors business line no longer fit the NXP strategic portfolio and took actions that resulted in the business line meeting the criteria to be classified as held for sale. On July 24, 2025, NXP reached a definitive agreement with STMicroelectronics International N.V., under which NXP will sell the business for an amount up to $950 million in cash, including $900 million at closing and up to an additional $50 million subject to the achievement of technical milestones. The carrying value of these assets held for sale as of December 31, 2025, are comprised of current assets of $91 million and non-current assets of $207 million, which consists primarily of goodwill of $170 million. On February 2, 2026, NXP completed the sale of the Company’s MEMS sensors business line under the aforementioned conditions.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, NXP management committed to selling the buildings and land at our Oak Hill site in Austin, Texas. The carrying amount of the site of $74 million has been classified as held for sale and is presented within current assets. The asset is available for immediate sale, is being actively marketed and management expects the sale to be completed within the next twelve months.

The total restructuring liability as of December 31, 2025, of $270 million is classified in the balance sheets under current liabilities ($189 million) and non-current liabilities ($81 million). During 2025, we have initiated and executed restructuring initiatives to streamline manufacturing capacity, reduce costs and align resources with our strategic priorities. The plans include workforce reductions, facility consolidations, and other cost-saving measures. The restructuring additions for 2025 were $265 million, primarily related to the following new programs:
Involuntary restructuring programs: $167 million
Hybrid manufacturing strategy: $63 million
Other: $35 million

The effective income tax rate for 2025 was 19.7% compared to 17.6% for 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a different mix of income tax expense across our operating jurisdictions, as well as lower U.S. and NL tax incentives in 2025 due to a decrease in qualifying income and R&D expenses. In addition, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted in the U.S., which reduced the amount of claimable R&D tax credits. Taiwan also had higher tax expense in 2025 due to less undistributed earnings being considered indefinitely reinvested due to changes in the supply chain. These increases were partially offset by tax benefits from settlements with tax authorities.

The effective income tax rate for 2024 was 17.6% compared to 15.6% for 2023. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a different mix of the benefit (provision) for income taxes in our operating
91


locations, newly enacted alternative minimum tax law (also known as Pillar Two) that is applicable in the Netherlands as per 2024, and lower U.S. tax incentives in 2024 as a result of a decrease in qualifying income. In addition, in 2023 new guidance was released by the Internal Revenue Service to clarify the treatment of specified research and experimental expenditures under Section 174.

The Company benefits from income tax holidays in certain jurisdictions which provide that we pay reduced income taxes in those jurisdictions for a fixed period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction. The predominant income tax holiday is expected to expire at the end of 2026. The impact of this tax holiday decreased foreign income taxes by $13 million in 2025 (2024: $7 million; 2023: $13 million). The benefit of this tax holiday on net income per share (diluted) was $0.05 in 2025 (2024: $0.03; 2023: $0.05).

The Company has significant deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and deductible temporary differences that may reduce taxable income or income taxes payable in future periods. Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets based on a “more likely than not” threshold. The realization of our deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction. The valuation allowance increased by $36 million during 2025 (2024: $4 million decrease). The valuation allowance increased due to acquisitions for an amount of $16 million, due to a current year
92


unrecognized tax benefit of $12 million and the remainder of the increase relates to changes in estimates of prior years' income taxes.

We consider all available evidence in forming a judgment regarding the valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025, including events that occur subsequent to year end but prior to the issuance of the financial statements. The deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that we consider it more likely than not that these assets will be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including reversal of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies.

At December 31, 2025, tax loss carryforwards of $759 million (inclusive of $132 million of U.S. state tax losses) will expire as follows:

The net income tax payable (excluding the liability for unrecognized tax benefits) as of December 31, 2025, amounted to $16 million (2024: net income tax payable of $56 million) and includes amounts directly receivable from or payable to tax authorities. The amounts of cash paid for income taxes (net of refunds) by the Company are as follows:

* The amount of cash paid for income taxes (net of refunds) during the year does not meet the 5% disaggregation threshold and is included in "Other".

The Company does not indefinitely reinvest the majority of the undistributed earnings of its subsidiaries. Consequently, the Company has recognized a deferred tax liability of $51 million at December 31, 2025 (2024: $35 million) for the additional income taxes and withholding taxes payable upon the future remittances of these earnings of foreign subsidiaries. No deferred tax liability has been recorded by the Company for the undistributed earnings which are considered to be indefinitely reinvested although the timing of the reversal can
93


be controlled. Upon repatriation of those earnings, the Company would be subject to tax of $73 million, which is not recognized as deferred tax liability at December 31, 2025.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties is as follows:

Balance as of December 31193 203 186 

Of the total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025, $174 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. All other unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate as these would be offset by compensating adjustments in the Company’s deferred tax assets that would be subject to valuation allowance based on conditions existing at the reporting date.

The Company classifies interest related to an underpayment of income taxes as financial expense and penalties as income tax expense. The total related interest and penalties recorded during the year 2025 amounted to a $20 million expense (2024: $24 million expense; 2023: $16 million expense). As of December 31, 2025, the Company has recognized a liability for related interest and penalties of $74 million (2024: $55 million; 2023: $32 million).

The Company files income tax returns in the Netherlands, the United States and in various other foreign jurisdictions. Tax filings of our subsidiaries are routinely audited in the normal course of business by tax authorities around the world. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions: the Netherlands (2021-2024), Germany (2017-2024), United States (2005-2024), China (2015-2024), Taiwan (2020-2024), Thailand (2020-2024), Malaysia (2018-2024) and India (2004, 2006-2024).

Note 13 - Postretirement Benefit Plans

Pensions
Our employees participate in employee pension plans in accordance with legal requirements, customs and the related matters in the respective countries. These are defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans and multi-employer plans.

The Company’s employees in The Netherlands participate in a multi-employer plan, implemented for the employees of the Metal and Electrical Engineering Industry ("Bedrijfstakpensioenfonds Metalektro" or "PME") in accordance with the mandatory affiliation to PME effective for the industry in which NXP operates. As this affiliation is a legal requirement for the Metal and Electrical Engineering Industry, it has no expiration date. This PME multi-employer plan (a career average plan) covers 1,566 companies and 629,500 participants. The plan monitors its risk on an aggregate basis, not by company or participant and can therefore not be accounted for as a defined benefit plan. The pension fund rules state that the only obligation for affiliated companies will be to pay the annual plan contributions. There is no obligation for affiliated companies to fund plan deficits. Affiliated companies are also not entitled to any possible surpluses in the pension fund.

Every participating company contributes the same fixed percentage of its total pension base, being pensionable salary minus an individual offset. The Company’s pension cost for any period is the amount of contributions due for that period.

The contribution rate for the mandatory scheme will remain 27.98% in 2026, same as 2025.

The amount for pension costs included in the statement of operations for the year 2025 was $123 million (2024: $125 million; 2023: $123 million) of which $61 million (2024: $67 million; 2023: $69 million) represents defined contribution plans and $32 million (2024: $31 million; 2023: $30 million) represents the PME multi-employer plans.

Defined benefit plans
The benefits provided by defined benefit plans are based on employees’ years of service and compensation levels. Contributions are made by the Company, as necessary, to provide assets sufficient to meet the benefits payable to defined benefit pension plan participants.

These contributions are determined based upon various factors, including funded status, legal and tax considerations as well as local customs. The Company funds certain defined benefit pension plans as claims are incurred.

The total ongoing cost of defined benefit plans amounted to $30 million in 2025 (2024: a cost of $27 million; 2023: a cost of $24 million).

The table below provides a summary of the changes in the pension benefit obligations and defined benefit pension plan assets for 2025 and 2024, associated with the Company’s dedicated plans, and a reconciliation of the funded status of these plans to the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.

The net amount of projected benefit obligation and plan assets for all underfunded (including unfunded) pension plans was $342 million and $360 million at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and was classified as liabilities and non-current assets in the balance sheets.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, actuarial gains were primarily related to increases in discount rates of approximately 60 basis points on a weighted basis offset by experience losses related to salary and pension indexation adjustments being higher than our long-term assumptions. For the year ended December 31, 2024, actuarial gains were primarily related to increases in discount rates of approximately 10 basis points on a weighted basis offset by experience losses related to salary and pension indexation adjustments being higher than our long-term assumptions.

The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the projected benefit obligations were as follows:
20252024
Discount rate3.9 %3.3 %
Rate of compensation increase2.2 %2.2 %
The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the net periodic pension cost were as follows:
202520242023
Discount rate3.3 %3.2 %3.3 %
Expected returns on plan assets3.1 %3.4 %2.9 %
Rate of compensation increase2.2 %2.2 %2.2 %

For the Company’s major plans, the discount rate used is based on high quality corporate bonds (iBoxx Corporate Euro AA 10+).

Plans in certain Asian countries without a deep corporate bond market use a discount rate based on the local sovereign rate and the plans' maturities (Bloomberg Government Bond Yields).

Expected returns per asset class are based on the assumption that asset valuations tend to return to their respective long-term equilibria. The expected return on assets for any funded plan equals the average of the expected returns per asset class weighted by their portfolio weights in accordance with the fund’s strategic asset allocation.

The components of net periodic pension costs were as follows:

The components of net periodic pension cost other than the service cost component are included in Other financial income (expense) in the statements of operations.

Plan assets
The actual pension plan asset allocation at December 31, 2025, and 2024 is as follows:

Asset category:
Equity securities30 %27 %
Debt securities34 %35 %
Insurance contracts7 %7 %
Other29 %31 %
100 %100 %

We met our target plan asset allocation. The investment objectives for the pension plan assets are designed to generate returns that, along with the future contributions, will enable the pension plans to meet their future obligations. The investments in our major defined benefit plans largely consist of government bonds, “Level 2” Corporate Bonds and cash to mitigate the risk of interest fluctuations. The asset mix of equity, bonds, cash and other categories is evaluated by an asset-liability modeling study for our largest plan. The assets of funded plans in other countries mostly have a large proportion of fixed income securities with return characteristics that are aligned with changes in the liabilities caused by discount rate volatility. Total pension plan assets of $230 million include $182 million related to the German and Japanese pension funds.

On August 19, 2025, NXP B.V., together with NXP Funding LLC and NXP USA, Inc., issued $500 million of 4.3% senior unsecured notes due August 19, 2028, $300 million of 4.85% senior unsecured notes due August 19, 2032, and $700 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due August 19, 2035.

Subsequent events
On January 5, 2026, we repaid the $500 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.35% senior unsecured notes due March 1, 2026, using available cash.

On February 6, 2026, NXP B.V., together with NXP Funding LLC and NXP USA, Inc., amended and restated its revolving credit agreement entered into on August 26, 2022. The second amended and restated revolving credit agreement provides for $3 billion of senior unsecured revolving credit commitments and is scheduled to mature on February 6, 2031.

2024 Financing activities
On November 21, 2024, NXP B.V., NXP Funding LLC and NXP USA Inc. entered into definitive documentation to establish an unsecured Commercial Paper Program under which, on a joint and several basis, short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes may be issued. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time to time, with the aggregate principal amount of commercial paper notes outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program at any time not to exceed
103


$2,000 million. The net proceeds of issuances of the commercial paper notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

On November 22, 2024, NXP B.V. entered into a facility agreement with the European Investment Bank, (“EIB Facility A”), which provides for a €640 million unsecured senior loan facility. The proceeds from borrowings under the EIB Facility A are expected to be used to fund the research, development and innovation of semiconductor devices, technologies and solutions in five European countries.

Operating and finance lease assets relate to buildings (corporate offices, research and development and manufacturing facilities and datacenters), land, machinery and installations and other equipment (vehicles and certain office equipment). These leases, except for land leases, have remaining lease terms of 1 to 16 years (land leases 3 to 73 years), some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 6 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. As of December 31, 2025, assets recorded under finance leases amounted to $92 million and accumulated depreciation associated with finance leases was $28 million (December 31, 2024: $82 million and $25 million, respectively). Finance lease liabilities amounted to $15 million as of December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: $17 million).

Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments
The Company maintains purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials, semi-finished goods and manufacturing services and for some non-production items. Purchase commitments for inventory materials are generally restricted to a forecasted time-horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time horizon can vary for different suppliers. As of December 31, 2025, other than commitments directly with our foundry joint ventures, the Company had purchase commitments of $3,087 million, which are due through 2044.

Foundry Joint Venture Commitments
Driven by our investment in VSMC, NXP has committed to invest an additional $969 million in equity through 2027. NXP has committed to contribute an additional $345 million to support the long-term capacity infrastructure that is expected to be paid through 2026. In addition, NXP has an agreed purchase commitment with VSMC that over the lifetime of the factory the minimal loading will be between 80% - 90%, resulting in a total purchase commitment of approximately $14,096 million that is expected to be purchased over 37 years once wafer production starts.

Related to our investment in ESMC, NXP has committed to invest an additional $404 million in equity through 2029.

Legal Proceedings
We are regularly involved as plaintiffs or defendants in claims and litigation relating to a variety of matters such as contractual disputes, personal injury claims, employee grievances and intellectual property litigation. In addition, our acquisitions, divestments and financial transactions sometimes result in, or are followed by, claims or litigation. Some of these claims may possibly be recovered from insurance reimbursements. Although the ultimate disposition of asserted claims cannot be predicted with certainty, it is our belief that the outcome of any such claims, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, such outcomes may be material to our consolidated statement of operations for a particular period. The Company records an accrual for any claim that arises whenever it considers that it is probable that it is exposed to a loss contingency, and the amount of the loss contingency can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not record a gain contingency until the period in which all contingencies are resolved, and the gain is realized or realizable. Legal fees are expensed when incurred.

Impinj Patent Litigation
On March 13, 2024, the Company and Impinj, Inc. (“Impinj”) entered into a settlement agreement with the Company paying Impinj an immaterial cash consideration, resolving all outstanding litigation and other proceedings between the parties, with all previously pending litigation and administrative proceedings being dismissed. In addition, each party agreed to release the other party from any claims to damages or monetary relief for alleged acts of patent infringement across the various patent infringement litigations and not to file any additional action for legal or equitable relief. Prior to the settlement, Impinj had initiated a number of lawsuits alleging infringement of their IP rights by certain of our products and we initiated a lawsuit and countersuit alleging infringement of our IP rights by certain products of Impinj.

Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits
The Company has assisted Motorola in the defense of personal injury lawsuits pursuant to indemnity obligations under the agreement that separated Freescale from Motorola in 2004. At the beginning of 2025, there were lawsuits pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, alleging a connection between work in semiconductor manufacturing clean room facilities and birth defects in 21 individuals, with alleged exposures occurring between 1980 and 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2025, and subsequent to year end prior to the date of this report, the Company reached agreements to resolve all previously disclosed clean room cases, and there are no pending lawsuits related to these matters. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate any further financial impact arising from these claims once settled. A portion of any indemnity due to Motorola will be reimbursed to NXP if Motorola receives an indemnification payment from its insurance coverage. 


106


Legal Proceedings Related Accruals and Insurance Coverage
The Company reevaluates at least on a quarterly basis the claims that have arisen to determine whether any new accruals need to be made or whether any accruals made need to be adjusted based on the most current information available to it and based on its best estimate. Based on the procedures described above, the Company has an aggregate amount of $75 million accrued for potential and current legal proceedings pending as of December 31, 2025, compared to $281 million accrued at December 31, 2024 (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements). The accruals are included in “Other current liabilities.” As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s balance related to insurance reimbursements was $56 million (December 31, 2024: $259 million) and is included in “Other current assets.”

The Company also estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amount accrued based on currently available information for those cases for which such estimate can be made. Given that the known pending legal proceedings with a potentially material aggregate exposure of possible losses were either settled during the year ended December 31, 2025, or subsequent to year end prior to the date of this report, the Company does not reasonably anticipate any additional potential aggregate exposure of possible loss in excess of the amount accrued.

Environmental remediation
In each jurisdiction in which we operate, we are subject to many environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that govern, among other things, emissions of pollutants into the air, wastewater discharges, the use and handling of hazardous substances, waste disposal, the investigation and remediation of soil and ground water contamination and the health and safety of our employees. We are also required to obtain environmental permits from governmental authorities for certain of our operations.

As with other companies engaged in similar activities or that own or operate real property, the Company faces inherent risks of environmental liability at our current and legacy manufacturing facilities. Certain environmental laws impose liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances. Some specific laws also assess liability on persons who arrange for hazardous substances to be sent to disposal or treatment facilities when such facilities are found to be a contributor or responsible party for environmental contamination.
Soil and groundwater contamination has been identified at our property near Phoenix, Arizona, United States. The remediation processes at this location are expected to continue for many years.

As of December 31, 2025, we have recorded $95 million for environmental remediation costs (2024: $95 million), which are primarily included in other non-current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. This amount represents the undiscounted future cash flows of our estimated share of costs incurred in environmental cleanup sites without considering recovery of costs from any other party or insurer, since in most cases potentially responsible parties other than us may exist and be held responsible.

Note 17 - Stockholders’ Equity and Earnings per Share
The share capital of the Company as of December 31, 2025, consists of 1,076,257,500 authorized shares, including 430,503,000 authorized shares of common stock, and 645,754,500 authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock.

For repurchases of shares in 2023, 2024 and 2025, the board of directors of NXP ("the Board") made use of the authorizations renewed by the annual general meeting of shareholders on June 1, 2022, May 24, 2023, May 29, 2024, and June 11, 2025, respectively. The Board has approved the purchase of shares from participants in NXP's equity programs to satisfy participants' tax withholding obligations and this authorization will remain in effect until terminated by the Board. In March 2021, the Board approved the repurchase of shares up to a maximum of $2 billion (the "2021 Share Repurchase Program"), and in August 2021, the Board increased the 2021 Share Repurchase Program authorization by $2 billion, for a total of $4 billion approved for the repurchase of shares under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program. In January 2022, the Board approved the repurchase of shares up to a maximum of $2 billion (the "2022 Share Repurchase Program"). In August 2024, the Board approved the repurchase of shares up to a maximum of $2 billion (the "2024 Share Repurchase Program").

107


During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, NXP repurchased 4.4 million shares, for a total of approximately $0.9 billion, and during the year ended December 31, 2024, NXP repurchased 5.7 million shares, for a total of approximately $1.4 billion. The number of issued NXP shares is 274,519,638 as per December 31, 2024, and 274,519,638 as per December 31, 2025, with each share of common stock having a par value of €0.20 or a nominal stock capital of €55 million (2024: €55 million).

Share-based awards
The Company has granted share-based awards to the members of our board of directors, management team, our other executives, selected other key employees/talents of NXP and selected new hires to receive the Company’s shares in the future. See Note 18, “Share-based Compensation.”

Treasury shares
From time to time, last on June 11, 2025, the General Meeting of Shareholders authorizes the Board of Directors to repurchase shares of our common stock. On that basis, the Board of Directors has approved various share repurchase programs. In accordance with the Company’s policy to provide share-based awards from its treasury share inventory, shares which have been repurchased and are held in treasury for delivery upon exercise of options and under restricted and performance share programs, are accounted for as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Treasury shares are recorded at cost, representing the market price on the acquisition date. When issued, shares are removed from treasury shares on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

Differences between the cost and the proceeds received when treasury shares are reissued, are recorded in capital in excess of par value. Deficiencies in excess of net gains arising from previous treasury share issuances are charged to retained earnings.

Shareholder tax on repurchased shares
Under Dutch tax law, the repurchase of a company’s shares by an entity in the Netherlands is a taxable event (unless exemptions apply). The tax on the repurchased shares is attributed to the shareholders, with NXP making the payment on the shareholders’ behalf. As such, the tax on the repurchased shares is accounted for within stockholders’ equity.

1)There were no stock options to purchase shares of NXP’s common stock that were outstanding in 2025 (2024: none; 2023: none) that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average fair market value of the common stock or the number of shares assumed to be repurchased using the proceeds of unrecognized compensation expense and exercise prices was greater than the weighted average number of shares underlying outstanding stock options.
2)There were 0.3 million unvested RSUs, PSUs and equity rights that were outstanding in 2025 (2024: 0.1 million; 2023: no shares) that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the number of shares assumed to be repurchased using the proceeds of unrecognized compensation expense was greater than the weighted average number of outstanding unvested RSUs, PSUs and equity rights or the performance goal has not been met.

The income tax (expense) benefit recognized in net income related to share-based compensation expenses was $36 million (includes $5 million of excess tax benefits), $46 million (includes $15 million of excess tax benefits) and $36 million (includes $9 million of excess tax benefits) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
The LTIP was introduced in 2010 and is a broad-based long-term retention program to attract, retain and motivate talented employees as well as align stockholder and employee interests. The LTIP provides share-based compensation (“awards”) to both our eligible employees and non-employee directors. Awards that may be granted include performance shares, stock options and restricted shares. Awards granted generally will become fully vested upon a termination event occurring within one year following a change in control, as defined. A termination event is defined as either termination of employment or services other than for cause or constructive termination resulting from a significant reduction in either the nature or scope of duties and responsibilities, a reduction in compensation or a required relocation. The number of shares authorized and available for awards at December 31, 2025, was 14.4 million.

A charge of $450 million was recorded in 2025 for the LTIP (2024: $448 million; 2023: $398 million).

A summary of the activity for our LTIP during 2025 is presented below.

Performance share units

Market performance conditions
The Company grants PSU awards to certain executives of the Company with a performance measure of Relative Total Shareholder Return (“Relative TSR”). Each PSU, which generally cliff vests on the third anniversary of the date of grant, entitles the grant recipient to receive from 0 to 2 common shares for each of the target units awarded based on the Relative TSR of the Company's share price as compared to a set of peer companies.

The fair value of the PSUs is calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model, utilizing assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes methodology:

As of December 31, 2025, NXP has contributed $855 million (December 31, 2024: $275 million), which is recorded in other non-current assets.

Refer to Note 5 - Supplemental Financial Information for information on the total carrying value of investments in equity-accounted investees, and to Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies for NXP's related party commitments.


Note 21 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Estimated fair value
Fair value
hierarchy
December 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Assets:
Money market funds1,757 2,398 
Marketable equity securities1 2 
Derivative instruments-assets9 2 
Liabilities:
Derivative instruments-liabilities(11)(10)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Money market funds (as part of our cash and cash equivalents) and marketable equity securities (as part of other non-current assets) have fair value measurements which are all based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For derivatives (as part of other current assets or accrued liabilities), the fair value is based upon significant other observable inputs depending on the nature of the derivative.

113


Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis
We measure and record our non-marketable equity securities, equity method investments and non-financial assets, such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, at fair value when an impairment charge is required.

Assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include non-marketable equity securities and equity method investments that have not been remeasured or impaired in the current period and debt.
As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of current and non-current debt was $11.6 billion ($9.8 billion as of December 31, 2024). The fair value is estimated on the basis of broker-dealer quotes, which are Level 2 inputs. Accrued interest is included under accrued liabilities and not within the carrying amount or estimated fair value of debt.

Note 22 - Other Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Currency Risk
We conduct business in diverse markets around the world and employ a variety of risk management strategies and techniques to manage foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. One way we achieve this is through the active hedging of risks through the selective use of derivative instruments.

Derivatives are recorded on our balance sheets at fair value which fluctuates based on changing market conditions.

The Company does not purchase or hold financial derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Currency risk
The Company’s transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies. The Company uses financial instruments to reduce its exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations. Accordingly, the Company’s organizations identify and measure their exposures from transactions denominated in other than their own functional currency. We calculate our net exposure on a cash flow basis considering balance sheet items, actual orders received or made and anticipated revenue and expenses. The Company generally hedges foreign currency exposures in relation to transaction exposures, such as receivables/payables resulting from such transactions and part of anticipated sales and purchases. The Company generally uses forwards to hedge these exposures. As of January 1, 2016, as a result of the acquisition of Freescale, NXP concluded that the functional currency of the Company is USD. Beginning from January 1, 2016, our U.S. dollar-denominated notes and short term loans no longer needed to be re-measured. Prior to January 1, 2016, the U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by our Dutch subsidiary (which had at that time a euro functional currency) could have generated adverse currency results in financial income and expenses depending on the exchange rate movement between the euro and the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar exposure of the net investment in U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries was hedged by certain of our U.S. dollar denominated debt. The hedging relationship was assumed to be highly effective. Foreign currency gains or losses on this U.S. dollar debt that were recorded in a euro functional currency entity that were designated as, and to the extent they were effective, as a hedge of the net investment in our U.S. dollar foreign entities, were reported as a translation adjustment in other comprehensive income within equity, and offset in whole or in part the foreign currency changes to the net investment that were also reported in other comprehensive income. Absent the application of net investment hedging, these amounts would have been recorded as a loss within financial income (expense) in the statement of operations.
114



Note 23 - Segments and Geographical Information
NXP has one reportable segment representing the entity as a whole, aligning with our organizational structure and with the way our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is our Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company.

Our CODM regularly reviews income and expense items at the consolidated company (reporting segment) level and uses net income to evaluate income generated from total assets to evaluate whether and how to reinvest profits into the entity’s operations, shareholder return, acquisitions or otherwise. Net income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results, forecasted information and in competitive analysis. These income and expense items are as included on the statements of operations and in our notes to the financial statements.

This may differ from the customer's shipped-to location. The change in reporting basis was made to more appropriately reflect how we manage our business. For 2025, the largest impacts from the change were to the United States, Germany, and China, which reflected changes of approximately 174.4%, 135.7%, and (57.0)%, respectively.

Not applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports we filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and included controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in such reports was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
It should be noted that any control system, regardless of how well it is designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, EY Accountants B.V., has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, which appears in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company acquired each of TTTech Auto, Aviva Links and Kinara Inc. during the year ended December 31, 2025, and is currently in the process of integrating the TTTech Auto, Aviva and Kinara operations within the Company's control environment.
Except as described above, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2025, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, excluded TTTech Auto, Aviva and Kinara, each of which were acquired during the year ended December 31, 2025. The assets and revenue of TTTech Auto, Aviva and Kinara excluded from management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting each represent less than 3% of the Company's total assets as of December 31, 2025, and less than 1% of the Company's total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
