CIRRUS LOGIC, INC.

Previous wording

While we generate sales from a broad base of customers worldwide, the loss of any of our key customers, or a significant reduction in sales or selling prices to any key customer, or reductions in selling prices made to retain key customer relationships, would significantly reduce our revenue, margins and earnings and adversely affect our business. For the first quarter of fiscal years 2027 and 2026, our ten largest end customers represented approximately 96 percent and 95 percent of our net sales, respectively. We had one end customer, Apple Inc., that purchased through multiple contract manufacturers and represented approximately 90 percent and 86 percent of the Company’s total net sales for the first quarter of fiscal years 2027 and 2026, respectively. No other end customer or distributor represented more than 10 percent of net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2026, or June 28, 2025.

Previous wording

Even with long-term supply agreements, we are still subject to risks that GlobalFoundries will be unable to meet its supply commitments, achieve anticipated manufacturing yields, manufacture our products on a timely basis, or provide additional wafer capacity beyond its current contractual commitments sufficient to meet our customers' product demands. If this were to occur, we may experience delays in product launches or supply shortages for certain products, which could cause an unanticipated decline in our sales and damage our existing customer relationships and our ability to establish new customer relationships. In addition, if GlobalFoundries experiences financial difficulties or goes into bankruptcy, it could be difficult or impossible, or may require substantial time and expense, for us to recover any or all of our prepayments made as part of the agreements.

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