NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (the company) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, consistent in all material respects with those applied in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full year. The company’s fiscal calendar, in which each quarter ends on a Sunday, contains 53 weeks every seven years. This additional week is included in the first quarter of the year. The company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012 consists of 13 weeks and 14 weeks, respectively.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, investments, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes and customer incentives, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity and foreign currency markets, and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Note 3 – Computation of Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock relating to potentially dilutive securities. There is no dilution when a net loss exists. Potentially dilutive common equivalent securities consist of stock options, performance units (PUs), deferred stock units (DSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the average market price for the respective period using the treasury share method. Certain potential shares of the company’s outstanding stock options were excluded because they were anti-dilutive, but could be dilutive in the future. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Note 5 – Fair Value

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. In accordance with the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), the company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

• Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted market price for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2 – Valuation is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

• Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

In accordance with the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, it is the company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. When available, the company uses quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market based parameters including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not

9

available, the company is required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect the results of current or future values. The results may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of an asset or liability.

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include securities and derivatives. Financial instruments classified as Level 1 are securities traded on an active exchange as well as U.S. Treasury, and other U.S. government and agency-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Derivatives are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. Auction rate securities were classified as Level 3 financial instruments in 2012. There are no level 3 instruments in 2013.

The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement. All of the company’s derivatives are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the company measures fair value using prices obtained from the counterparties with whom the company has traded. The counterparties price the derivatives based on models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities. Accordingly, the company classifies these derivatives as Level 2.

The company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to hedging instruments. The counterparties to all derivative transactions are major financial institutions. However, this does not eliminate the company’s exposure to credit risk with these institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in such contracts should any of these counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The company considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013.

Long term debt is carried at amortized cost. However, the company is required to estimate the fair value of long term debt under the Financial Instrument Topic of the FASB ASC. The market rates are currently lower than our interest rate of Libor + 1.75. In order to calculate the fair market value of the loan we have discounted the future payment stream at the current market rate. See Note 12 for more information on the credit facility.

Note 6 – Derivatives

Derivatives. The company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In accordance with the requirements of the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC, the fair value of these hedges is recorded on the balance sheet. For the fair value of derivatives, see Note 5.

Foreign Currency Derivatives. The company uses currency forward and combination option contracts to hedge a portion of its forecasted foreign exchange denominated revenues and expenses. The company monitors its foreign currency exposures to maximize the overall effectiveness of its foreign currency hedge positions. Currencies hedged include the euro, Japanese yen, Philippine peso, Malaysian ringgit, Korean won and Chinese yuan. The company’s objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize the risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures. The maturities of the cash flow hedges are 12 months or less.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to time value are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Hedge ineffectiveness, determined in accordance the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC, did not have a material impact on earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2013. No cash flow hedges were derecognized or discontinued during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) are reclassified into earnings at the time the forecasted transaction is recognized. The company estimates that $1.3 million of net unrealized derivative losses included in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

The company also uses currency forward and combination option contracts to offset the foreign currency impact of balance sheet translation. These derivatives have one month terms and the initial fair value, if any, and the subsequent gains or losses on the change in fair value are reported in earnings within the same income statement line as the impact of the foreign currency translation. From time to time, the company will also hedge the liability for an expected cash payment in foreign currency. These derivatives have terms that match the expected payment timing. The initial fair value, if any, and the subsequent gains or losses on the change in fair value are reported in earnings within the same income statement line as the change in value of the liability due to changes in currency value.

The tables below show the notional principal and the location and amounts of the derivative fair values in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 and December 30, 2012 as well as the location of derivative gains and losses in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012. The notional principal amounts for these instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of the end of the period and do not represent the amount of the company’s exposure to credit or market loss. The estimates of fair value are based on applicable and commonly used pricing models using prevailing financial market information as of March 31, 2013 and December 30, 2012. Although the following table reflects the notional principal and fair value of amounts of derivative financial instruments, it does not reflect the gains or losses associated with the exposures and transactions that these financial instruments are intended to hedge. The amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of these financial instruments, together with the gains and losses on the underlying exposures will depend on actual market conditions during the remaining life of the instruments.

In accordance with the Investments – Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB ASC, available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of AOCI within stockholders’ equity, net of any related tax effect, if such gains and losses are considered temporary. Realized gains and losses on these investments are included in interest income and expense. Declines in value judged by management to be other-than-temporary and credit related are included in impairment of investments in the statement of operations. The noncredit component of impairment is included in AOCI. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. There were no material realized gains or losses on sales of securities in the first three months of 2013 or 2012. There were no sales of securities in the first three months of 2013 or 2012.

Note 8 – Segment Information

Fairchild is currently organized onto three reportable segments. The organization is an application based structure which corresponds with the way the company manages the business. The majority of the company’s activities are aligned into two focus areas; MCCC, which focuses on mobile, computing and multimedia applications with typically lower power requirements, and the Power Conversion, Industrial, and Automotive (PCIA) business, which focuses on the higher power requirements for motor control solutions, power supplies, power conversion and automotive drive train applications. Each of these segments has a relatively small set of leading customers, common technology requirements and similar design cycles. The Standard Discrete and Standard Linear (SDT) business is managed separately as a third reportable segment.

Note 10 – Restructuring and Impairments

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the company recorded restructuring and impairment charges, net of releases, of $1.2 million. The detail of these charges is presented in the summary table below.

During the three months ended April 1, 2012, the company recorded restructuring and impairment charges, net of 2012 releases, of $2.4 million. The charges include $1.0 million of employee separation costs associated with the 2011 Infrastructure Realignment Program as well as $1.1 million in employee separation costs and $0.4 million in facility closure costs associated with the 2012 Infrastructure Realignment Program.

The 2013 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs to close the 8-inch line at our Salt Lake wafer fab facility and the transfer of manufacturing to our 8-inch lines in Korea and Mountaintop, as well as various other organizational changes. The 2012 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs for organizational changes in the company’s sales organization, manufacturing sites and manufacturing support organizations, the human resources function, executive management levels, and the MCCC and PCIA product lines as well as the termination of an IT systems lease and the final closure of a warehouse in Korea. The 2011 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs for organizational changes in the company’s supply chain management group, the website technology group, the quality organization, and other administrative groups. The 2011 program also includes costs to further improve the company’s manufacturing strategy and changes in the PCIA and MCCC groups as well as a primarily voluntary retirement program at our Mountaintop, Pennsylvania location. The 2010 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs to simplify and realign some activities within the MCCC segment, costs for the continued refinement of the company’s manufacturing strategy, and costs associated with centralizing the company’s accounting functions. The 2009 Infrastructure Realignment Program included costs associated with the previously planned closure of the Mountaintop, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and the four-inch manufacturing line in Bucheon, South Korea, both of which were announced in the first quarter of 2009. The 2009 Program also included charges for a smaller worldwide cost reduction plan to further right-size our company. The consolidation of the South Korea fabrication lines was completed in 2011. Also during 2011, the company decided to keep open the Mountain Top facility reversing the March 2009 announcement to close the site.

Note 11 – Contingencies

Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc. There are five outstanding proceedings with Power Integrations.

POWI 1: On October 20, 2004, the company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, were sued by Power Integrations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Power Integrations alleged that certain of the company’s pulse width modulation (PWM) integrated circuit products infringed four Power Integrations U.S. patents, and sought a permanent injunction preventing the company from manufacturing, selling or offering the products for sale in the U.S., or from importing the products into the U.S., as well as money damages for past infringement.

The trial in the case was divided into three phases. In the first phase of the trial that occurred in October of 2006, a jury returned a verdict finding that thirty-three of the company’s PWM products willfully infringed one or more of seven claims asserted in the four patents and assessed damages against the company. The company voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006. Subsequent phases of the trial conducted during 2007 and 2008 focused on the validity and enforceability of the patents. In December of 2008, the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s 2006 damages award from $34 million to approximately $6.1 million and ordered a new trial on the issue of willfulness. Following the new trial held in June of 2009, the court found the company’s infringement to have been willful and in January 2011 the court awarded Power Integrations final damages in the amount of $12.2 million. The company appealed the final damages award, willfulness finding, and other issues to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On March 26, 2013, the court of appeals vacated almost the entire damages award, ruling that there was no basis upon which a reasonable jury could find Fairchild liable for induced infringement. The court also vacated the earlier ruling of willful patent infringement by Fairchild. While the appeals court instructed the lower court to conduct further proceedings to determine damages based upon approximately $500,000 to $750,000 worth of sales and imports of affected products, Fairchild believes that damages on the basis of that level of infringing activity would not be material to Fairchild. Accordingly, the company released $12.6 million from the reserves relating to this case during the first quarter. Power Integrations has requested that the appeals court rehear the case. Although the company believes several aspects of the appeals court ruling apply to issues in other U.S. litigation between the company and Power Integrations, there are differences in the facts, asserted patents and accused products among the cases, and, as a result, no assurance can be given that similar outcomes will necessarily occur in the other lawsuits.

POWI 2: On May 23, 2008, Power Integrations filed another lawsuit against the company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary System General Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of three patents. Of the three patents asserted in that lawsuit, two were asserted against the company and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the October 2004 lawsuit described above. In 2011, POWI added a fourth patent to this case.

On October 14, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and System General Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Power Integrations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PWM

17

integrated circuit products infringe one or more claims of two U.S. patents owned by System General. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and an injunction preventing the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Power Integrations products found to infringe the asserted patents.

Both lawsuits were consolidated and heard together in Delaware District Court in a jury trial in April of 2012. On April 27, 2012, the jury found that Power Integrations infringed one of the two U.S. patents owned by System General and upheld the validity of both System General patents. In the same case, the jury found that the company infringed two of four U.S. patents asserted by Power Integrations and that the company had induced its customers to infringe the asserted patents. The jury also upheld the validity of the asserted Power Integrations patents. The verdict concluded the first phase of trial in the litigation. Willfulness and damages in the case will be determined in a second phase, which has yet to be scheduled and may occur after appeals of the first phase.

POWI 3: On November 4, 2009, Power Integrations filed a complaint for patent infringement against the company and two of the company’s subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that several of our products infringe three of Power Integrations’ patents. One of those patents has since been dropped from the case. The company intends to put on a vigorous defense against these claims. In the same lawsuit we have filed counterclaims against Power Integrations, alleging Power Integrations’ products infringe certain claims of one of our patents. Trial is scheduled for February 2014.

POWI 4: On February 10, 2010, Fairchild and System General filed a lawsuit in Suzhou, China against four Power Integrations entities and seven vendors. The lawsuit claims that Power Integrations violates certain Fairchild/System General patents. Fairchild is seeking an injunction against the Power Integrations products and over $17.0 million in damages. Hearings comparable to a trial in U.S. litigation were held in January, May and July 2012. In December of 2012, the Suzhou court ruled in favor of Power Integrations and denied the claims. The company is appealing the trial court’s judgment to the appeals court in Nanjing, China.

POWI 5: On May 1, 2012, Fairchild sued Power Integrations in United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit accuses Power Integration’s LinkSwitch-PH LED power conversion products of violating three Fairchild patents. Power Integrations has counterclaimed against Fairchild asserting five Power Integrations patents. Trial is expected in 2014.

Other Legal Claims. From time to time the company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The company believes that there is no such ordinary-course litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

The company analyzes potential outcomes from current litigation in accordance with the Contingency Topic of the FASB ASC. Accordingly, the company analyzes such outcomes as loss contingencies, and divides them into three categories based on the possibility that the contingency will give rise to an actual loss. The first category represents contingencies for which management believes the possibility of loss is remote. For contingencies in this category, the company does not record a reserve or assess the range of possible losses. The second category represents contingencies for which losses are believed to be reasonably possible. For this category, the company assesses the range of possible losses but does not record a reserve. There are currently no contingencies in this category. The third category represents contingencies for which losses are believed to be probable. For this category, the company determines the range of probable losses and records a reserve reflecting the best estimate within the range. For contingencies within this category, the company currently believes the range of probable losses is approximately $1.5 million to $3.8 million and the best estimate of losses within this range to be $1.5 million as of March 31, 2013 and has recorded this amount as a reserve. The amount reserved is based upon assessments of the potential liabilities using analysis of claims and historical experience in defending and resolving such claims.

Note 13 – Strategic Investments

The company has certain strategic investments that are typically accounted for on a cost basis as they are less than 20% owned, and the company does not exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the cost method, investments are held at historical cost, less impairments. The company periodically assesses the need to record impairment losses on investments and records such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other-than-temporary in nature. A variety of factors are considered when determining if a decline in fair value below book value is other-than-temporary, including, among others, the financial condition and prospects of the investee.

During the first quarter of 2013, as a result of the failure of certain funding plans for one of the strategic investments, the company evaluated the investment for impairment. Based on the current financial position of the investment and the lack of future cash flow funding, the company determined that the investment was impaired and wrote off the full value of $3.0 million.

The total cost basis for strategic investments, which are included in other assets on the balance sheet, was $0.7 million and $3.7 million, net of impairments, as of March 31, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Except as otherwise indicated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “our,” the “company,” “Fairchild” and “Fairchild International” refer to Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, our principal operating subsidiary. We refer to individual subsidiaries where appropriate.

Overview

We enter 2013 ready to capitalize on higher demand with a pipeline of new products and a lean supply chain. We have a portfolio of technologies to support growing end markets such as mobile, automotive, high efficiency battery charging, appliances, and alternative energy. In the first quarter of 2013, we experienced better than seasonal sales growth and our second quarter guidance reflects a continuation of this momentum. Bookings growth was even stronger than sales in the first quarter especially for original equipment manufacturers. Demand was particularly strong for our products serving the mobile, automotive, industrial, and appliance markets.

We strive to keep inventory as lean as possible while maintaining customer service. We prefer to maintain maximum flexibility by adjusting internal inventories in response to higher demand before adding more inventory to our distribution channels. While our goal is to manage our production output to maintain channel inventories within a target range of 8 to 9 weeks, at the end of the first quarter, our channel inventories were just over 10 weeks, which was a slight increase from the end of 2012. Internal inventories at the end of the first quarter of 2013 were at $226.3 million, a decrease of $10.4 million compared to the end of 2012.

19

Our fiscal calendar, in which each quarter ends on a Sunday, contains 53 weeks every seven years. This additional week was included in the first quarter of 2012. Our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012 consist of 13 weeks and 14 weeks, respectively.

The Mobile, Computing, Consumer and Communication (MCCC) group’s main focus is to supply the mobile, computing, consumer and communication end market segments with innovative power and signal path solutions including our low voltage metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), Power Management integrated circuits (IC’s), Mixed Signal Analog and Logic products. We seek to deliver exceptional product performance by optimizing silicon processes and application specific design to satisfy specific requirements for our customers. This enables us to deliver solutions with greater energy efficiency and in a smaller footprint than is commonly available. We expect a steady acceleration of new product sales especially for solutions addressing the handset and ultraportable market.

The Power Conversion, Industrial, and Automotive (PCIA) group’s focus is to capitalize on the growing demand for greater energy efficiency and higher power density for space savings in power supplies, consumer electronics, battery chargers, electric motors, industrial electronics and automobiles. We are a leader in power semiconductor devices, low standby power consumption designs, and power module technology that enable greater efficiency, greater power density, and better performance. Improving the efficiency of our customers’ products is vital to meeting new energy efficiency regulations. Effectively managing the power conversion and distribution in power supplies is one of the greatest opportunities we have to improve overall system efficiency. We believe the growing global focus on energy efficiency will continue to drive growth in this product line.

Standard Discrete and Standard Linear (SDT) products are core building block components for many electronic applications. This segment is moving to a more simplified and focused operating model to make the selling and support of these products easier and more profitable. The right operational structure and part portfolio should enable our standard products group to continue to generate solid cash flow with minimal investment.

A decrease in average selling prices drove a 5% decrease in revenue. This was offset by a 2% increase in unit volumes sold, despite one less week in the first quarter of 2013 when compared to 2012.

Geographic revenue information is based on the customer location within the indicated geographic region. The following table presents, as a percentage of sales, geographic sales for the U.S., Other Americas, Europe, China, Taiwan, Korea and Other Asia/Pacific (which for our geographic reporting purposes includes Japan and Singapore) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012. The increase in Asia/Pacific revenue was due to continued strong demand for mobile products including smart phones and tablets. The decrease in Korea revenue was due to a shift in customer sales from Korea to Asia Pacific as well as reduction in sales of our high voltage products.

Adjusted gross margin in the first quarter of 2012 did not include $2.9 million of accelerated depreciation related to the planned closure of the 8-inch line at our Salt Lake facility. There were no items adjusted out of gross margin in the first quarter of 2012. See above reconciliation for detail.

Operating Expenses

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013		April 1, 2012		$Change Inc (Dec)			% Change Inc  (Dec)
Research and development	$	42.6	$	40.1	$	2.5			6.2	%
Selling, general and administrative	$	51.6	$	54.7	$	(3.1	)		-5.7	%

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 consisted of one less week as compared to 2012. Despite this research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were higher as we continue to invest in R&D programs and resources. Selling expense decreased slightly as increased sales and marketing costs were offset by decreased variable compensation. General and administration expenses (G&A) for the first quarter of 2013 decreased when compared to the same period in 2012 due to reduced legal expenses and a decrease in other discretionary spending as well as lower variable compensation.

Restructuring and Impairment. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges, net of releases, of $1.2 million. The charges include $0.6 million of employee separation costs and $0.5 million of line closure costs associated with the 2013 Infrastructure Realignment Program as well as $0.1 million in employee separation costs associates with the 2012 Infrastructure Realignment Program.

During the three months ended April 1, 2012, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges, net of releases, of $2.4 million. The charges include $1.0 million of employee separation costs associated with the 2011 Infrastructure Realignment Program as well as $1.1 million in employee separation costs and $0.4 million in facility closure costs associated with the 2012 Infrastructure Realignment Program.

The 2013 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs to close the 8-inch line at our Salt Lake wafer fab facility and the transfer of manufacturing to our 8-inch lines in Korea and Mountaintop, as well as various other organizational changes. The 2012 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs for organization changes in our sales organization and MCCC and PCIA product lines as well as the final closure of a warehouse in Korea. The 2011 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs for organizational changes in our supply chain management group, website technology group, quality organization, and other administrative groups. The 2011 program also includes costs to further improve our manufacturing strategy and changes in both the PCIA and MCCC groups as well as a primarily voluntary retirement program at our Mountaintop, Pennsylvania location. The 2010 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs to simplify and realign some activities within the MCCC segment, costs for the continued refinement of the company’s manufacturing strategy, and costs associated with centralizing our accounting functions.

Other Expense, net.

The following table presents a summary of other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012.

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013			April 1, 2012
	(In millions)
Other expense, net
Interest expense	$	1.7		$	2.1
Interest income		(0.2	)		(0.7	)
Other (income) expense, net		3.1			0.1
Other expense, net	$	4.6		$	1.5

Interest expense. Interest expense in the first quarter of 2013 decreased $0.4 million when compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to lower debt balances.

24

Interest income. Interest income in the first quarter of 2013 decreased when compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the loss of interest earned on our auction rate securities which were sold at the end of 2012.

Other (income) expense, net. Other expense in the first quarter of 2013 was higher when compared to the same period of 2012, due the write-off of a $3.0 million strategic investment.

Income Taxes. Income tax provision in the first quarter of 2013 was $1.7 million on income before taxes of $1.2 million as compared to income tax benefit of $0.2 million on income before taxes of $1.4 million for the same time period of 2012. The effective tax rate for the first quarter 2013 was 147.7% compared to (17.1%) for the comparable period of 2012. The change in effective tax rate is primarily due to shifts of income and loss among jurisdictions with differing tax rates as well as the effect of a tax rate change in Korea on deferred tax asset balances in the first quarter of 2012. In the first three months of 2013, the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets decreased by $3.2 million. The overall decrease did not impact our results of operations.

In accordance with the Income Taxes Topic in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), deferred taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which are reinvested indefinitely. Certain non-U.S. earnings, which have been taxed in the U.S. but earned offshore, have and continue to be part of our repatriation plan. As of March 31, 2013, we have recorded a deferred tax liability of $1.8 million, with no impact to the consolidated statement of operations as we have a full valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets.

Free Cash Flow

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013			April 1, 2012			$Change Inc (Dec)		% Change Inc  (Dec)
Free Cash Flow	$	(23.9	)	$	(33.0	)	$	9.1		-27.6	%

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. To determine free cash flow, we subtract capital expenditures from cash provided by operating activities. Free Cash flow increased in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of a decrease in capital expenditures in 2013 when compared to 2012 offset in part by a decrease in operating cash flow driven by lower net income and unfavorable changes in working capital accounts. See Free Cash Flow reconciliation in results of operations section above.

Reportable Segments.

The following tables present comparative disclosures of revenue, gross margin, and operating income of our reportable segments.

(1) The three months ended March 31, 2013 includes $6.3 million of stock based compensation expense, $1.2 million of restructuring and impairment expense, $2.8 million of other costs which primarily consist of accelerated depreciation related to the closure of our 8-inch line at our Salt Lake facility, $12.6 million favorable impact for the release of a litigation charge, and $38.8 million of SG&A expenses. The three months ended April 1, 2012 includes $6.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.4 million of restructuring and impairments expense, $0.2 of other net gains, and $42.2 million of SG&A expenses, respectively.

MCCC

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013			April 1, 2012			$ Change Inc (Dec)			% Change Inc (Dec)
Revenue	$	135.2		$	142.6		$	(7.4	)		-5.2	%
Gross Margin $	$	46.5		$	52.9		$	(6.4	)		-12.1	%
Gross Margin %		34.4	%		37.1	%					-2.7	%
Operating Income	$	18.0		$	24.9		$	(6.9	)		-27.7	%

The 5% decrease in MCCC revenue in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the first quarter of 2012 was driven by a 2% decrease in average selling prices and a 3% decrease in the volume of units sold driven primarily by one less week in the first quarter of 2013. The decreases were driven by reduced unit sales and pricing pressure for our mobile analog IC products. Overall gross margin was down as compared to the first quarter of 2012 due to lower revenue and higher inventory reserves.

MCCC had operating income of $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to $24.9 million for the same period of 2012. Operating income decreased as a result of lower gross margin in the first quarter of 2013 and higher R&D expense for our analog IC mobile products. The higher mobile R&D spend was offset in part by lower spending on low voltage products and one less week of operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 2012.

PCIA

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013			April 1, 2012			$ Change Inc (Dec)			% Change Inc (Dec)
Revenue	$	174.6		$	174.2		$	0.4			0.2	%
Gross Margin $	$	44.5		$	46.5		$	(2.0	)		-4.3	%
Gross Margin %		25.5	%		26.7	%					-1.2	%
Operating Income	$	21.0		$	25.0		$	(4.0	)		-16.0	%

PCIA’s revenue in the first quarter of 2013 was flat as compared to first quarter of 2012 as increased unit sales were offset by a decrease in average selling prices and an extra week of revenue in the first quarter of 2012. Improved sales of our automotive power module, new product revenue for our optoelectronics products, and increased sales of our power conversion communication related products drove the improvement in unit sales. These improvements were offset by decreased average selling prices of our high voltage products. Lower gross margin was driven by the increased expenses due to low utilization rates at several of our manufacturing facilities as well as the strengthening of the Korean Won and costs related to the qualification of a new 8-inch fab in Korea.

PCIA had operating income of $21.0 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to $25.0 million in the same period of 2012. Lower operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was due to reduced gross margin and higher R&D spending on auto, high voltage and power conversion products. This was offset in part by one less week of operating expenses in 2013.

26

SDT

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013			April 1, 2012			$ Change Inc (Dec)			% Change Inc (Dec)
Revenue	$	33.4		$	35.4		$	(2.0	)		-5.6	%
Gross Margin $	$	5.4		$	6.5		$	(1.1	)		-16.9	%
Gross Margin %		16.2	%		18.4	%					-2.1	%
Operating Income	$	3.2		$	4.3		$	(1.1	)		-25.6	%

The SDT revenue decrease in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily driven by a decrease in average selling prices. Lower gross margin was due to lower revenue and higher overhead costs.

SDT had operating income of $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to $4.3 million in the same period of 2012. The decrease in operating income was primarily from lower gross margin. There were also some minor increases in R&D and G&A spending which were offset in part by one less week of operating expenses in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our main sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2013, $193.2 million of our $373.6 million cash and marketable securities balance is located in the United States. We believe that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and funds from our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our cash needs over the next twelve months.

Our Credit Facility consists of a $400.0 million revolving loan agreement of which $250 million was drawn as of March 31, 2013. After adjusting for outstanding letters of credit, we had $148.4 million available under the Credit Facility. This revolving borrowing capacity is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. We had additional outstanding letters of credit of $1.9 million that do not fall under the senior credit facility. We also had $3.6 million of undrawn credit facilities at certain of our foreign subsidiaries. These outstanding amounts do not impact available borrowings under the senior credit facility.

The Credit Facility includes restrictive covenants that place limitations on our ability to consolidate, merge, or enter into acquisitions, create liens or pay dividends, or make similar restricted payments, sell assets, invest in capital expenditures, and incur indebtedness. It also places limitations on our ability to modify our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or enter into shareholder agreements, voting trusts or similar arrangements. In addition, the affirmative covenants in the Credit Facility also require our financial performance to comply with certain financial measures, as defined by the credit agreement. These financial covenants require us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.0. It defines the interest coverage ratio as the ratio of the cumulative four quarter trailing consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to consolidated cash interest expense and defines the maximum leverage ratio as the ratio of total consolidated debt to the cumulative four quarter trailing consolidated EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the credit agreement excludes restructuring, non-cash equity compensation and other certain adjustments.

At March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants and we expect to remain in compliance with the covenants. This expectation is subject to various risks and uncertainties discussed more thoroughly in Item 1A, and include, among others, the risk that our assumptions and expectations about business conditions, expenses and cash flows for the remainder of the year may be inaccurate.

While our senior credit facility places restrictions on the payment of dividends, it does not restrict the subsidiaries of Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, except to a limited extent, from paying dividends or making advances to Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation. As a result, we believe that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and funds from our senior credit facility will be sufficient to meet our debt obligations, operating requirements, capital expenditures and research and development funding needs over the next twelve months. In the first three months of 2013, our capital expenditures totaled $19.9 million.

We frequently evaluate opportunities to sell additional equity or debt securities, obtain credit facilities from lenders or restructure our long-term debt to further strengthen our financial position. The sale of additional equity securities would cause dilution to our existing stockholders. Additional borrowing or equity investment may be required to fund future acquisitions.

27

During the first three months of 2013, our cash used in operating activities was $4.0 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $16.8 million in the same period of 2012. The following table presents a summary of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities during the first three months of 2013 and 2012.

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013			April 1, 2012
	(In millions)
Net income (loss)	$	(0.5	)	$	1.6
Depreciation and amortization		36.4			34.3
Non-cash stock-based compensation		6.3			6.9
Deferred income taxes, net		0.8			(2.2	)
Release of litigation charge		(12.6	)		—
Other, net		3.3			0.4
Change in other working capital accounts		(37.7	)		(24.2	)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(4.0	)	$	16.8

The change is cash provided by or used in operating activities during the first three months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012 was driven by a decrease in net income and changes in other working capital accounts.

Cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2013 totaled $20.2 million compared to $50.2 million for the same period of 2012. This decrease was driven by a decrease in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $19.9 million in the first three months of 2013 compared to $49.8 million in the same time period of 2012, as there was a high level of capital expenditures in 2013 related to the 8 inch line at our Korean wafer manufacturing facility.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $10.7 million in the first three months of 2013 compared to $8.6 million in the same period of 2012. This increase was driven by the purchase of treasury stock in the first quarter of 2013. No treasury stock was purchased in the first quarter of 2012.

As of March 31, 2013, we had $3.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, compared to approximately $3.0 million at December 30, 2012. The timing of the expected cash outflow relating to the balance is not reliably determinable at this time.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 (ASU 2013-01), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This standard addressed implementation issues about the scope of ASU 2011-11 by clarifying that the scope applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations and statements of cash flows although we have added some additional disclosures.

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 (ASU 2013-02), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Other Comprehensive Income. This objective of this update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications on the respective line items in net income. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations and statements of cash flows. A disclosure has been added to our Statement of Other Comprehensive Income.

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04 (ASU 2013-0), Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This update provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within is fixed at the reporting date. Examples include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. This statement is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05 (ASU 2013-5), Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. The objective of the amendments in this update is to resolve the diversity in practice concerning the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations and statements of cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Reference is made to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk, in Fairchild Semiconductor International’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012 and under the subheading “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Form 10-K. There were no material changes in the information we provided in our Form 10-K during the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to assure, as much as is reasonably possible, that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is communicated to management and recorded, processed, summarized and disclosed within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), with the participation of our management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

29

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any control system will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become less effective if conditions change or compliance with policies or procedures deteriorates.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first three months of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are five outstanding proceedings with Power Integrations.

POWI 1: On October 20, 2004, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, were sued by Power Integrations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Power Integrations alleged that certain of our pulse width modulation (PWM) integrated circuit products infringed four Power Integrations U.S. patents, and sought a permanent injunction preventing us from manufacturing, selling or offering the products for sale in the U.S., or from importing the products into the U.S., as well as money damages for past infringement.

The trial in the case was divided into three phases. In the first phase of the trial that occurred in October of 2006, a jury returned a verdict finding that thirty-three of our PWM products willfully infringed one or more of seven claims asserted in the four patents and assessed damages against us. We voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and have been offering replacement products since 2006. Subsequent phases of the trial conducted during 2007 and 2008 focused on the validity and enforceability of the patents. In December of 2008, the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s 2006 damages award from $34 million to approximately $6.1 million and ordered a new trial on the issue of willfulness. Following the new trial held in June of 2009, the court found our infringement to have been willful, and in January 2011 the court awarded Power Integrations final damages in the amount of $12.2 million. We appealed the final damages award, willfulness finding, and other issues to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On March 26, 2013, the court of appeals vacated almost the entire damages award, ruling that there was no basis upon which a reasonable jury could find us liable for induced infringement. The court also vacated the earlier ruling of willful patent infringement by us. While the appeals court instructed the lower court to conduct further proceedings to determine damages based upon approximately $500,000 to $750,000 worth of sales and imports of affected products, we believe that damages on the basis of that level of infringing activity would not be material to us. Accordingly, we released $12.6 million from our reserves relating to this case during the first quarter. Power Integrations has requested that the appeals court rehear the case. Although we believe several aspects of the appeals court ruling apply to issues in other U.S. litigation between us and Power Integrations, there are differences in the facts, asserted patents and accused products among the cases, and, as a result, no assurance can be given that similar outcomes will necessarily occur in the other lawsuits.

30

POWI 2: On May 23, 2008, Power Integrations filed another lawsuit against us, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary System General Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of three patents. Of the three patents asserted in that lawsuit, two were asserted against us and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the October 2004 lawsuit described above. In 2011, POWI added a fourth patent to this case.

On October 14, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and System General Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Power Integrations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PWM integrated circuit products infringe one or more claims of two U.S. patents owned by System General. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and an injunction preventing the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Power Integrations products found to infringe the asserted patents.

Both lawsuits were consolidated and heard together in Delaware District Court in a jury trial in April of 2012. On April 27, 2012, the jury found that Power Integrations infringed one of the two U.S. patents owned by System General and upheld the validity of both System General patents. In the same case, the jury found that we infringed two of four U.S. patents asserted by Power Integrations and that we had induced our customers to infringe the asserted patents. The jury also upheld the validity of the asserted Power Integrations patents. The verdict concluded the first phase of trial in the litigation. Willfulness and damages in the case will be determined in a second phase, which has yet to be scheduled and may occur after appeals of the first phase.

POWI 3: On November 4, 2009, Power Integrations filed a complaint for patent infringement against us and two of our subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that several of our products infringe three of Power Integrations’ patents. One of those patents has since been dropped from the case. We intend to put on a vigorous defense against these claims. In the same lawsuit we have filed counterclaims against Power Integrations, alleging Power Integrations’ products infringe certain claims of one of our patents. Trial is scheduled for February 2014.

POWI 4: On February 10, 2010 Fairchild and System General filed a lawsuit in Suzhou, China against four Power Integrations entities and seven vendors. The lawsuit claims that Power Integrations violates certain Fairchild/System General patents. Fairchild is seeking an injunction against the Power Integrations products and over $17.0 million in damages. Hearings comparable to a trial in U.S. litigation were held in January, May and July 2012. In December of 2012, the Suzhou court ruled in favor of Power Integrations and denied our claims. We are appealing the trial court’s judgment to the appeals court in Nanjing, China.

POWI 5: On May 1, 2012, we sued Power Integrations in United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit accuses Power Integration’s LinkSwitch-PH LED power conversion products of violating three of our patents. Power Integrations has counterclaimed against us asserting five Power Integrations patents. Trial is expected in 2014.

Other Legal Claims. From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We believe that there is no such ordinary-course litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We analyze potential outcomes from current litigation in accordance with the Contingency Topic of the FASB ASC. Accordingly, we analyze such outcomes as loss contingencies, and divide them into three categories based on the possibility that the contingency will give rise to an actual loss. The first category represents contingencies for which we believe the possibility of a loss is remote. For contingencies in this category, we do not record a reserve or assess the range of possible losses. The second category represents contingencies for which losses are believed to be reasonably possible. For this category, we assess the range of possible losses but do not record a reserve. There are currently no contingencies in this category. The third category represents contingencies for which losses are believed to be probable. For this category, we determine the range of probable losses and record a reserve reflecting the best estimate within the range. For contingencies within this category, we currently believe the range of probable losses is approximately $1.5 million to $3.8 million. We believe the best estimate of losses within this range to be $1.5 million as of March 31, 2013 and have recorded this amount as a reserve. The amount reserved is based upon assessments of the potential liabilities using analysis of claims and historical experience in defending and resolving such claims.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

A description of the risk factors associated with our business is set forth below. We review and update our risk factors each quarter. The description set forth below includes any changes to and supersedes the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business operations and financial condition.

The price of our common stock has fluctuated widely in the past and may fluctuate widely in the future.

Our common stock is traded on The New York Stock Exchange and its price has fluctuated significantly in recent years. Additionally, our stock has experienced and may continue to experience significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect its market price without regard to our operating performance. We believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in financial results, earnings below analysts’ estimates and financial performance and other activities of other publicly traded companies in the semiconductor industry could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, our common stock, the stock market in general and the market for shares of semiconductor industry-related stocks in particular have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Similar fluctuations in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We maintain a backlog of customer orders that is subject to cancellation, reduction or delay in delivery schedules, which may result in lower than expected revenues.

We manufacture products primarily pursuant to purchase orders for current delivery or to forecast, rather than pursuant to long-term supply contracts. The semiconductor industry is occasionally subject to double booking and rapid changes in customer outlooks or unexpected build ups of inventory in the supply channel as a result of shifts in end market demand and macro economic conditions. Accordingly, many of these purchase orders or forecasts may be revised or canceled without penalty. As a result, we must commit resources to the manufacture of products without binding purchase commitments from customers. Even in cases where our standard terms and conditions of sale or other contractual arrangements do not permit a customer to cancel an order without penalty, we may from time to time accept cancellations to maintain customer relationships or because of industry practice, custom or other factors. Our inability to sell products after we devote significant resources to them could have a material adverse effect on both our levels of inventory and revenues. While we currently believe our inventory levels are appropriate for the current economic environment, continued global economic uncertainty may result in lower than expected demand. When we anticipate increasing demand in our markets, lower than anticipated demand may impact our customers’ target inventory levels. While we focused on reducing channel inventories during 2012; our current business forecasting is still qualified by the risk that our backlog may deteriorate as a result of customer cancellations.

Downturns in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry or changes in end user market demands could reduce the profitability and overall value of our business, which could cause the trading price of our stock to decline or have other adverse effects on our financial position.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, and the value of our business may decline as a result of market response to this cyclicality. As we have experienced in the past, uncertainty in global economic conditions may continue to negatively affect us and the rest of the semiconductor industry, by causing us to experience backlog cancellations, higher inventory levels and reduced demand for our products. We may experience renewed, possibly severe and prolonged, downturns in the future as a result of this cyclicality. Even as demand increases following such downturns, our profitability may not increase because of price competition and supply shortages that historically accompany recoveries in demand. In addition, we may experience significant fluctuations in our profitability as a result of variations in sales, product mix, end user markets, the costs associated with the introduction of new products, and our efforts to reduce excess inventories that may have built up as a result of any of these factors. The markets for our products depend on continued demand for consumer electronics such as personal computers, cellular telephones, tablet devices, digital cameras, and automotive, household and industrial goods. Deteriorating global economic conditions may cause these end user markets to experience decreases in demand that could adversely affect our business and future prospects.

Our failure to execute on our cost reduction initiatives and the impact of such initiatives could adversely affect our business.

We continue to implement cost reduction initiatives to keep pace with the evolving economic and competitive conditions. These actions include closing our four-inch manufacturing line in South Korea and converting to eight-inch wafers in Bucheon, South Korea and South Portland, Maine. Additionally, we initiated several insourcing programs to replace higher-cost outside subcontractors with internal manufacturing, we lowered our materials costs and implemented workforce reductions in an effort to simplify operations, improve productivity and reduce costs.

32

We cannot guarantee that we will successfully implement any of these actions, or if these actions and other actions we may take will help reduce costs. Because restructuring activities involve changes to many aspects of our business, the cost reductions could adversely impact productivity and sales to an extent we have not anticipated. Even if we fully execute and implement these activities and they generate the anticipated cost savings, there may be other unforeseeable and unintended factors or consequences that could adversely impact our profitability and business.

We may not be able to develop new products to satisfy changing customer demands or we may develop the wrong products.

Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to innovate and create revenues from new product introductions. Failure to develop new technologies, or react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay development of new products and lead to decreased revenues and a loss of market share to our competitors. The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapidly changing technologies and industry standards, together with frequent new product introductions. Our financial performance depends on our ability to identify important new technology advances and to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and support new products and enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis. While new products often command higher prices and higher profit margins, we may not successfully identify new product opportunities and develop and bring new products to market or succeed in selling them for use in new customer applications in a timely and cost-effective manner. Products or technologies developed by other companies may render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. Many of our competitors are larger and more established companies with greater engineering and research and development resources than us. If we fail to identify a fundamental shift in technologies or in our product markets such failure could have material adverse effects on our competitive position within the industry. In addition, to remain competitive, we must continue our efforts to reduce die sizes, develop new packages and improve manufacturing yields. We cannot assure you that we can accomplish these goals.

If some original equipment manufacturers do not design our products into their equipment, our revenue may be adversely affected.

We depend on our ability to have original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), or their contract manufacturers, choose our products. Frequently, an OEM will incorporate or specifically design our products into the products it produces. In such cases the OEM may identify our products, with the products of a limited number of other vendors, as approved for use in particular OEM applications. Without “design wins,” we may only be able to sell our products to customers as a secondary source, if at all. If an OEM designs another supplier’s product into one of its applications, it is more difficult for us to achieve future design wins for that application because changing suppliers involves significant cost, time, effort and risk for the OEM. Even if a customer designs in our products, we are not guaranteed to receive future sales from that customer. We may be unable to achieve these “design wins” because of competition or a product’s functionality, size, electrical characteristics or other aspect of its design or price. Additionally, we may be unable to service expected demand from the customer. In addition, achieving a design win with a customer does not ensure that we will receive significant revenue from that customer and we may be unable to convert design into actual sales.

We depend on demand from the consumer, original equipment manufacturer, contract manufacturing, industrial, automotive and other markets we serve for the end market applications which incorporate our products. Reduced consumer or corporate spending due to increased energy and commodity prices or other economic factors could affect our revenues.

If we provide revenue, margin or earnings per share guidance, it is generally based on certain assumptions we make concerning the health of the overall economy and our projections of future consumer and corporate spending. If our projections of these expenditures are inaccurate or based upon erroneous assumptions, our revenues, margins and earnings per share could be adversely affected. For example, beginning in the third quarter of 2011 and throughout much of 2012, we observed weakening order rates which we attributed to uncertainty and deterioration of global economic conditions. While order rates and profitability are showing early signs of improvement, we cannot be certain that a change in macroeconomic conditions will not have an adverse effect on our business.

Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our future performance and growth.

Failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in the loss of valuable technologies. We rely on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect such technologies. These laws are subject to legislative and regulatory

33

change or through changes in court interpretations of those laws and regulations. For example, there have been recent developments in the laws and regulations governing the issuance and assertion of patents in the U.S., including modifications to the rules governing patent prosecution. There have also been court rulings on the issues of willfulness, obviousness and injunctions, that may affect our ability to obtain patents and/or enforce our patents against others. Some of our technologies are not covered by any patent or patent application. With respect to our intellectual property generally, we cannot assure you that:

• the patents owned by us or numerous other patents which third parties license to us will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged or licensed to other companies; or

• any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued within the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all.

In addition, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in some countries. We cannot assure that we will be able to effectively enforce our intellectual property rights in every country in which our products are sold or manufactured.

We also seek to protect our proprietary technologies, including technologies that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors’ rights agreements with our collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons or institutions will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of such research. We have non-exclusive licenses to some of our technology from National Semiconductor, Infineon, Samsung Electronics and other companies. These companies may license such technologies to others, including our competitors or may compete with us directly. In addition, National Semiconductor and Infineon have limited royalty-free, worldwide license rights to some of our technologies. National Semiconductor was purchased by Texas Instruments in 2011. If necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses under patents or intellectual property rights claimed by others. However, we cannot assure you that we will obtain such licenses or that the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to us. The failure to obtain a license from a third party for technologies we use could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the manufacture or shipment of products or our use of processes requiring the technologies.

Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use some technologies may negatively affect our financial results.

Our future success and competitive position depend in part upon our ability to obtain or maintain proprietary technologies used in our principal products. From time to time we are required to defend against claims by competitors and others of intellectual property infringement. Claims of intellectual property infringement and litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights are commonplace in the semiconductor industry and are frequently time consuming and costly. From time to time, we may be notified of claims that we may be infringing patents issued to other companies. Such claims may relate both to products and manufacturing processes. We may engage in license negotiations regarding these claims from time to time. Even though we maintain procedures to avoid infringing others’ rights as part of our product and process development efforts, it is impossible to be aware of every possible patent which our products may infringe, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts to avoid infringement claims. Furthermore, even if we conclude our products do not infringe another’s patents, others may not agree. We have been and are involved in lawsuits, and could become subject to other lawsuits, in which it is alleged that we have infringed upon the patent or other intellectual property rights of other companies. For example, since October 2004, we have been in litigation with Power Integrations, Inc. See Item 3, Legal Proceedings. Our involvement in this litigation and future intellectual property litigation, or the costs of avoiding or settling litigation by purchasing licenses rights or by other means, could result in significant expense to our company, adversely affecting sales of the challenged products or technologies and diverting the efforts and attention of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor. We may decide to settle patent infringement claims or litigation by purchasing license rights from the claimant, even if we believe we are not infringing, in order to reduce the expense of continuing the dispute or because we are not sufficiently confident that we would eventually prevail. In the event of an adverse outcome as a defendant in any such litigation, we may be required to:

• pay substantial damages;

• indemnify our customers for damages they might suffer if the products they purchase from us violate the intellectual property rights of others;

• stop our manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products;

34

• expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing technologies;

• discontinue manufacturing processes; or

• obtain licenses to the intellectual property we are found to have infringed.

We cannot assure you that we would be successful in such development or acquisition or that such licenses would be available under reasonable terms. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources.

We may not be able to consummate future acquisitions or successfully integrate acquisitions into our business.

We have made numerous acquisitions of various sizes since we became an independent company in 1997 and we plan to pursue additional acquisitions of related businesses. The costs of acquiring and integrating related businesses, or our failure to integrate them successfully into our existing businesses, could result in our company incurring unanticipated expenses and losses. In addition, we may not be able to identify or finance additional acquisitions or realize any anticipated benefits from acquisitions we do complete.

We are constantly evaluating acquisition opportunities and consolidation possibilities and are frequently conducting due diligence or holding preliminary discussions with respect to possible acquisition transactions, some of which could be significant.

If we acquire another business, the process of integrating an acquired business into our existing operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and may require us to use significant financial resources on the acquisition that may otherwise be needed for the ongoing development or expansion of existing operations. Some of the risks associated with acquisitions include:

• unexpected losses of key employees, customers or suppliers of the acquired company;

• conforming the acquired company’s standards, processes, procedures and controls with our operations;

• coordinating new product and process development;

• hiring additional management and other critical personnel;

• inability to realize anticipated synergies;

• negotiating with labor unions; and

• increasing the scope, geographic diversity and complexity of our operations.

• In addition, we may encounter unforeseen obstacles or costs in the integration of other businesses we acquire.

Possible future acquisitions could result in the incurrence of additional debt, contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We may face risks associated with dispositions of assets and businesses.

From time to time we may dispose of assets and businesses in an effort to grow our more profitable product lines. When we do so, we face certain risks associated with these exit activities, including but not limited the risk that we will disrupt service to our customers, the risk of inadvertently losing other business not related to the exit activities, the risk that we will be unable to effectively continue, terminate, modify and manage supplier and vendor relationships, and the risk that we may be subject to consequential claims from customers or vendors as a result of eliminating, or transferring the production of affected products or the renegotiation of commitments related to those products.

We depend on suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials of acceptable quality. Production time and product costs could increase if we were to lose a primary supplier or if we experience a significant increase in the prices of our raw materials. Product performance could be affected and quality issues could develop as a result of a significant degradation in the quality of raw materials we use in our products.

35

Our manufacturing processes use many raw materials, including silicon wafers, gold, copper lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and various chemicals and gases. Our manufacturing operations depend upon our ability to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials on a timely basis. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we were unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner or if the costs of raw materials increased significantly. If the prices of these raw materials rise significantly we may be unable to pass on our increased operating expenses to our customers. This could result in decreased profit margins for the products in which the materials are used. Results could also be adversely affected if there is a significant degradation in the quality of raw materials used in our products, or if the raw materials give rise to compatibility or performance issues in our products, any of which could lead to an increase in customer returns or product warranty claims. Although we maintain rigorous quality control systems, errors or defects may arise from a supplied raw material and be beyond our detection or control. For example, some phosphorus-containing mold compound received from one supplier and incorporated into our products in the past resulted in a number of claims for damages from customers. We purchase some of our raw materials such as silicon wafers, lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and chemicals and gases from a limited number of suppliers on a just-in-time basis. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. We subcontract a minority of our wafer fabrication needs, primarily to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Central Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Jilin Magic Semiconductor, Macronix International Co. Ltd., and Phenitec Semiconductor. In order to maximize our production capacity, some of our back-end assembly and testing operations are also subcontracted. Primary back-end subcontractors include , Advance Semiconductor Engineering, Inc., AIC Semicondutor Sdn Bhd, Amkor Technology, AUK Semiconductor PTE, Ltd, GEM Services, Inc., Greatek Electronics, Inc., Hana Microelectronics Ltd, Liteon, Inc., Tak Cheong Electronics (Holdings) Co. Ltd, United Test and Assembly Center Thai Ltd., and Vigilant Technology Company, Ltd. Our operations and ability to satisfy customer obligations could be adversely affected if our relationships with these subcontractors were disrupted or terminated.

Delays in expanding capacity at existing facilities, implementing new production techniques, or incurring problems associated with technical equipment malfunctions, all could adversely affect our manufacturing efficiencies.

Our manufacturing efficiency is an important factor in our profitability, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our manufacturing efficiency or increase manufacturing efficiency to the same extent as our competitors. Our manufacturing processes are highly complex, require advanced and costly equipment and are continuously being modified in an effort to improve yields and product performance. Impurities or other difficulties in the manufacturing process can lower yields. We are constantly looking for ways to expand capacity or improve efficiency at our manufacturing facilities. For example, we are in the final stages of expanding our facilities in South Korea to manufacture 8 inch wafers. As is common in the semiconductor industry, we may experience difficulty in completing transitions to new manufacturing processes at existing facilities. As a consequence, we have suffered delays in product deliveries or reduced yields in the past and may experience such delays again in the future.

We may experience delays or problems in bringing new manufacturing capacity to full production. Such delays, as well as possible problems in achieving acceptable yields, or product delivery delays relating to existing or planned new capacity could result from, among other things, capacity constraints, construction delays, upgrading or expanding existing facilities or changing our process technologies, any of which could result in a loss of future revenues. Our operating results could also be adversely affected by the increase in fixed costs and operating expenses related to increases in production capacity if revenues do not increase proportionately.

We rely on subcontractors to reduce production costs and to meet manufacturing demands, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

Many of the processes we use in manufacturing our products are complex requiring, among other things, a high degree of technical skill and significant capital investment in advanced equipment. In some circumstances, we may decide that it is more cost effective to have some of these processes performed by qualified third party subcontractors. In addition, we may utilize a subcontractor to fill unexpected customer demand for a particular product or process or to guaranty supply of a particular product that may be in great demand. More significantly, as a result of the expense incurred in qualifying multiple subcontractors to perform the same function, we may designate a subcontractor as a single source for supplying a key product or service. If a single source subcontractor were to fail to meet our contractual requirements, our business could be adversely affected and we could incur production delays and customer cancellations as a result. We would also

36

be required to qualify other subcontractors, which would be time consuming and cause us to incur additional costs. In addition, even if we qualify alternate subcontractors, those subcontractors may not be able to meet our delivery, quality or yield requirements, which could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition to these operational risks, some of these subcontractors are smaller businesses that may not have the financial ability to acquire the advanced tools and equipment necessary to fulfill our requirements. In some circumstances, we may find it necessary to provide financial support to our subcontractors in the form of advance payments, loans, loan guarantees, equipment financing and similar financial arrangements. In those situations, we could be adversely impacted if the subcontractor failed to comply with its financial obligations to us.

Compliance with new regulations regarding the use of “conflict minerals could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain metals used in manufacturing our products.

Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act), requires the SEC to promulgate new disclosure requirements for manufacturers of products containing certain minerals which are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. These “conflict minerals” are commonly found in metals used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Manufacturers are also required to disclose their efforts to prevent the sourcing of such minerals and metals produced from them. The new disclosure rules will take effect in May of 2014, one year after the promulgation of the SEC’s final rules. The implementation of these new regulations may limit the sourcing and availability of some of the metals used in the manufacture of our products. The regulations may also reduce the number of suppliers who provide conflict-free metals, and may affect our ability to obtain products in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Finally, some of our customers may elect to disqualify us as a supplier if we are unable to verify that the metals used in our products free of conflict minerals.

A significant portion of our sales are made to distributors who can terminate their relationships with us with little or no notice. The termination of a distributor could reduce sales and result in inventory returns.

Distributors accounted for 61% of our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We anticipate that this percentage may decrease as we begin to sell more products directly to our customers. Our top five distributors worldwide accounted for 21% of our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a general rule, we do not have long-term agreements with our distributors, and they may terminate their relationships with us with little or no advance notice. Additionally, because distributors may offer competing products, certain distributors may be less inclined to sell our products as a result of our direct sales increase. Distributors generally offer competing products. The loss of one or more of our distributors, or the decision by one or more of them to reduce the number of our products they offer or to carry the product lines of our competitors, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The termination of a significant distributor, whether at our or the distributor’s initiative, or a disruption in the operations of one or more of our distributors, could reduce our net sales in a given quarter and could result in an increase in inventory returns.

The semiconductor business is very competitive, especially in the markets we serve, and increased competition could reduce the value of an investment in our company.

We participate in the standard component or “multi-market” segment of the semiconductor industry. While the semiconductor industry is generally highly competitive, the “multi-market” segment is particularly so. Our competitors offer equivalent or similar versions of many of our products, and customers may switch from our products to our competitors’ products on the basis of price, delivery terms, product performance, quality, reliability and customer service or a combination of any of these factors. Competition is especially intense in the multi-market semiconductor segment because it is relatively easy for customers to switch between suppliers of more standardized, multi-market products like ours. In the past we have experienced decreases in prices during “down” cycles in the semiconductor industry, and this may occur again as a result of the recent downturn in global economic conditions. Even in strong markets, price pressures may emerge as competitors attempt to gain a greater market share by lowering prices. We compete in a global market and our competitors are companies of various sizes in various countries around the world. Many of our competitors are larger than us and have greater financial resources available to them. As such, they tend to have a greater ability to pursue acquisition candidates and can better withstand adverse economic or market conditions. Additionally, companies with whom we do not currently compete may introduce new products that may cause them to compete with us in the future.

We may not be able to attract or retain the technical or management employees necessary to remain competitive in our industry.

37

Our continued success depends on our ability to attract, motivate and retain skilled personnel, including technical, marketing, management and staff personnel. In the semiconductor industry, the competition for qualified personnel, particularly experienced design engineers and other technical employees, is intense, particularly when the business cycle is improving. During such periods competitors may try to recruit our most valuable technical employees. While we devote a great deal of our attention to designing competitive compensation programs aimed at accomplishing this goal, specific elements of our compensation programs may not be competitive with those of our competitors and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our current personnel or recruit the key personnel we require.

If we must reduce our use of equity awards to compensate our employees, our competitiveness in the employee marketplace could be adversely affected. Our results of operations could vary as a result of changes in our stock-based compensation programs.

Like most technology companies, we have a history of using employee stock based incentive programs to recruit and retain our workforce in a competitive employment marketplace. Our success will depend in part upon the continued use of stock options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and performance-based equity awards as a compensation tool. While this is a routine practice in many parts of the world, foreign exchange and income tax regulations in some countries make this practice more and more difficult. Such regulations tend to diminish the value of equity compensation to our employees in those countries. With regard to all equity based compensation, our current practice is to seek stockholder approval for increases in the number of shares available for grant under the Fairchild Semiconductor 2007 Stock Plan as well as other amendments that may be adopted from time to time which require stockholder approval. If these proposals do not receive stockholder approval, we may not be able to grant stock options and other equity awards to employees at the same levels as in the past, which could adversely affect our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, and we may need to increase cash compensation in order to attract, retain and motivate employees, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, since 2009 we have relied almost exclusively on grants of restricted stock units and performance based equity awards in place of stock options. While we believe that our compensation policies are competitive with our peers, we cannot provide any assurance that we have not, and will not continue in the future to lose opportunities to recruit and retain key employees as a result of these changes.

Changes in forecasted stock-based compensation expense could impact our gross margin percentage, research and development expenses, marketing, general and administrative expenses and our tax rate.

We may face product warranty or product liability claims that are disproportionately higher than the value of the products involved.

Our products are typically sold at prices that are significantly lower than the cost of the equipment or other goods in which they are incorporated. For example, our products that are incorporated into a personal computer may be sold for several dollars, whereas the personal computer might be sold by the computer maker for several hundred dollars. Although we maintain rigorous quality control systems, we manufacture and sell approximately 16 billion individual semiconductor devices per year to customers around the world, and in the ordinary course of our business we receive warranty claims for some of these products that are defective or that do not perform to published specifications. Additionally, while we attempt to contractually limit our customers use of our products, we cannot be certain that our distributors will not sell our products to customers who intend to use them in applications for which we did not intend them to be used. Since a defect or failure in one of our products could give rise to failures in the goods that incorporate them (and consequential claims for damages against our customers from their customers), we may face claims for damages that are disproportionate to the revenues and profits we receive from the products involved. Furthermore, even though we attempt, through our standard terms and conditions of sale and other customer contracts, to contractually limit our liability to replace the defective goods or refund the purchase price, we cannot be certain that these claims will not expose us to potential product liability, warranty liability, personal injury or property damage claims relating to the use of those products. In the past, we have received claims for charges, such as for labor and other costs of replacing defective parts or repairing the products into which the defective products are incorporated, lost profits and other damages. In addition, our ability to reduce such liabilities, whether by contracts or otherwise, may be limited by the laws or the customary business practices of the countries where we do business. And, even in cases where we do not believe we have legal liability for such claims, we may choose to pay for them to retain a customer’s business or goodwill or to settle claims to avoid protracted litigation. Our results of operations and business could be adversely affected as a result of a significant quality or performance issue in our products, if we are required or choose to pay for the damages that result. For example, from 2001 to 2008 we received claims from a number of customers seeking damages resulting from certain products manufactured with a phosphorus-containing mold compound, and we were named in lawsuits relating to these mold compound claims.

38

Our operations and business could be significantly harmed by natural disasters.

Our manufacturing facilities in China, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and many of the third party contractors and suppliers that we currently use are located in countries that are in seismically active regions of the world where earthquakes and other natural disasters, such as floods and typhoons may occur. While we take precautions to mitigate these risks, we cannot be certain that they will be adequate to protect our facilities in the event of a major earthquake, flood, typhoon or other natural disaster. Although we maintain insurance for some of the damage that may be caused by natural disasters, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and would not cover us for lost business. As a result, a natural disaster in one of these regions could severely disrupt the operation of our business and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Natural disasters could affect our supply chain or our customer base which, in turn, could have a negative impact on our business, the cost of and demand for our products and our results of operations.

While the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and flooding in Thailand did not materially impact us, the occurrence of natural disasters in certain regions, could have a negative impact on our supply chain, our ability to deliver products, the cost of our products and the demand for our products. These events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility to the U.S. and worldwide economies. Any such occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our financial condition.

Our international operations subject our company to risks not faced by domestic competitors.

Through our subsidiaries we maintain significant operations and facilities in the Philippines, Malaysia, China, South Korea and Singapore. We have sales offices and customers around the world. Approximately 75% of our revenues in three months ended March 31, 2013 were from Asia. The following are some of the risks inherent in doing business on an international level:

• economic and political instability;

• foreign currency fluctuations;

• transportation delays;

• trade restrictions;

• changes in laws and regulations relating to, amongst other things, import and export tariffs, taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights and property,

• work stoppages; and

• the laws of, including tax laws, and the policies of the U.S. toward, countries in which we manufacture our products.

We acquired significant operations and revenues when we acquired a business from Samsung Electronics and, as a result, are subject to risks inherent in doing business in Korea, including political risk, labor risk and currency risk.

We have significant operations and sales in South Korea and are subject to risks associated with doing business there. Korea accounted for approximately 8% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Relations between South Korea and North Korea have been tense over most of South Korea’s history, and more recent concerns over North Korea’s nuclear capability, and relations between the U.S. and North Korea, have created a global security issue that may adversely affect Korean business and economic conditions. We cannot assure you as to whether or when this situation will be resolved or change abruptly as a result of current or future events. An adverse change in economic or political conditions in South Korea or in its relations with North Korea could have a material adverse effect on our Korean subsidiary and our company. In addition to other risks disclosed relating to international operations, some businesses in South Korea are subject to labor unrest.

39

Our Korean sales are denominated primarily in U.S. dollars while a significant portion of our Korean operations’ costs of goods sold and operating expenses are denominated in South Korean won. Although we have taken steps to fix the costs subject to currency fluctuations and to balance won revenues and won costs as much as possible, a significant change in this balance, coupled with a significant change in the value of the won relative to the dollar, could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.

A change in foreign tax laws or a difference in the construction of current foreign tax laws by relevant foreign authorities could result in us not recognizing any anticipated benefits.

Some of our foreign subsidiaries have been granted preferential income tax or other tax holidays as an incentive for locating in those jurisdictions. A change in the foreign tax laws or in the construction of the foreign tax laws governing these tax holidays, or our failure to comply with the terms and conditions governing the tax holidays, could result in us not recognizing the anticipated benefits we derive from them, which would decrease our profitability in those jurisdictions. While we continue to monitor the tax holidays, the income tax laws governing the tax holidays, and our compliance with the terms and conditions of the tax holidays there is still a risk that we may not be able to recognize the anticipated benefits of these tax holidays.

We have significantly expanded our manufacturing operations in China and, as a result, will be increasingly subject to risks inherent in doing business in China, which may adversely affect our financial performance.

We expect a significant portion of our production from our Suzhou, China facility will be exported out of China, however, we are hopeful that a significant portion of our future revenue will result from the Chinese markets in which our products are sold, and from demand in China for goods that include our products. Our ability to operate in China may be adversely affected by changes in that country’s laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, foreign exchange restrictions, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. In addition, our results of operations in China are subject to the economic and political situation there. We believe that our operations in China are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, there can be no assurance that China’s central or local governments will not impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures. Changes in the political environment or government policies could result in revisions to laws or regulations or their interpretation and enforcement, increased taxation, restrictions on imports, import duties or currency revaluations. In addition, a significant destabilization of relations between China and the U.S. could result in restrictions or prohibitions on our operations or the sale of our products in China. The legal system of China relating to foreign trade is relatively new and continues to evolve. There can be no certainty as to the application of its laws and regulations in particular instances. Enforcement of existing laws or agreements may be sporadic and implementation and interpretation of laws inconsistent. Moreover, there is a high degree of fragmentation among regulatory authorities resulting in uncertainties as to which authorities have jurisdiction over particular parties or transactions.

We are subject to fluctuations in the value of foreign and domestic currency and interest rates.

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks and to protect against reductions in the value and volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, we have established hedging programs. These hedging programs may utilize certain derivative financial instruments. For example, we use a combination of currency forward and option contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign exchange denominated revenues and expenses. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exposures would generally be offset by corresponding losses and gains on the related hedging instruments, resulting in negligible net exposure to us. A majority of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, we do conduct these activities by way of transactions denominated in other currencies, primarily the Korean won, Malaysian ringgit, Philippine peso, Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, Taiwanese dollar, British pound and the Euro. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not always entirely eliminate, the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. For example, during the twelve months ended December 30, 2012, an adverse change (defined as a 20% unfavorable move in every currency where we have exposure) in the exchange rates of all currencies over the course of the year would have resulted in an adverse impact on income before taxes of approximately $15.5 million. While we have established hedging policies and procedures to monitor and prevent unauthorized trading and to maintain substantial balance between purchases and sales or future delivery obligations, we can provide no assurance, however, that these steps will detect and/or prevent all violations of such risk management policies and procedures, particularly if deception or other intentional misconduct is involved.

40

In addition to our currency exposure, we have interest rate exposure with respect to our credit facility due to its variable pricing. For example, for the year ended 2012, a 50 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in increased annual interest expense of $1.4 million. The increased annual interest expense due to a 50 basis point increase in LIBOR rates would have been offset by an increase in interest income of $1.5 million on the cash and investment balances during 2012. We do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure and we can provide no assurance that a sudden increase in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial performance

We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations that could affect our operations or result in significant expenses.

Increasingly stringent environmental regulations restrict the amount and types of pollutants that can be released from our operations into the environment. While the cost of compliance with environmental laws has not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations historically, compliance with these and any future regulations could require significant capital investments in pollution control equipment or changes in the way we make our products. In addition, because we use hazardous and other regulated materials in our manufacturing processes, we are subject to risks of liabilities and claims, regardless of fault, resulting from our use, transportation, emission, discharge, storage, recycling or disposal of hazardous materials, including personal injury claims and civil and criminal fines, any of which could be material to our cash flow or earnings. For example:

• we currently are remediating contamination at some of our operating plant sites;

• we have been identified as a potentially responsible party at a number of Superfund sites where we (or our predecessors) disposed of wastes in the past; and

• significant regulatory and public attention on the impact of semiconductor operations on the environment may result in more stringent regulations, further increasing our costs.

Although most of our known environmental liabilities are covered by indemnification agreements with Raytheon Company, National Semiconductor Corporation, Samsung Electronics and Intersil Corporation, these indemnities are limited to conditions that occurred prior to the consummation of the transactions through which we acquired facilities from those companies. National Semiconductor was purchased by Texas Instruments in 2011. Moreover, we cannot assure you that their indemnity obligations to us for the covered liabilities will be available, or, if available, adequate to protect us.

Our senior credit facility limits our flexibility and places restrictions on the manner in which we run our operations.

At March 31, 2013 we had total debt of $250.1 million and the ratio of this debt to equity was approximately 0.2 to 1. As of March 31, 2013, our credit facility consists of a $400 million in a revolving line of credit. Adjusted for outstanding letters of credit, we had up to $148.4 million available under the revolving loan portion of the senior credit facility. In addition, there is a $150 million uncommitted incremental revolving loan feature. Despite the significant reductions we have made in our long-term debt, we continue to carry indebtedness which could have significant consequences on our operations. For example, it could:

• require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;

• increase the amount of our interest expense, because our borrowings are at variable rates of interest, which, if interest rates increase, could result in higher interest expense;

• increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

41

• restrict us from making strategic acquisitions, introducing new technologies or exploiting business opportunities;

• make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the instruments governing our indebtedness;

• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness; or

• limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt instruments, our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, repurchase stock or pay cash dividends. Failing to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to generate the necessary amount of cash to service our indebtedness, which may require us to refinance our indebtedness or default on our scheduled debt payments. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our historical financial results have been, and we anticipate that our future financial results may be subject to substantial fluctuations. While we currently have sufficient cash flow to satisfy all of our current obligations, we cannot assure you that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs in the future. Further, we can make no assurances that our currently anticipated cost savings and operating improvements will be realized on schedule or at all, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our senior credit facility in an amount sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs. In addition, because our senior credit facility has a variable interest rate, our cost of borrowing will increase if market interest rates increase. If we are unable to meet our expenses and debt obligations, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity, sell assets or raise equity. We cannot assure you that we would be able to renew or refinance any of our indebtedness, sell assets or raise equity on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could cause us to default on our obligations and impair our liquidity. Restrictions imposed by the credit agreement relating to our senior credit facility restrict or prohibit our ability to engage in or enter into some business operating and financing arrangements, which could adversely affect our ability to take advantage of potentially profitable business opportunities.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in the credit agreement relating to our senior credit facility may limit our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interests. The credit agreement imposes significant operating and financial restrictions on us that affect our ability to incur additional indebtedness or create liens on our assets, pay dividends, sell assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions, make investments or engage in other business activities. These restrictions could place us at a disadvantage relative to our competitors many of which are not subject to such limitations.

In addition, the senior credit facility also requires us to maintain specified financial ratios. Our ability to meet those financial ratios can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with these ratios. A breach of any of these covenants, ratios or restrictions could result in an event of default under the senior credit facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the senior credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior credit facility, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against our assets, including any collateral granted to them to secure the indebtedness. If the lenders under the senior credit facility accelerate the payment of the indebtedness, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness and our other indebtedness.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise the integrity of our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

We routinely collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property and other proprietary information about our business and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings and liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information. It could also result in regulatory penalties, disrupt our operations and the services we provide to customers, damage our reputation and cause a loss of confidence in our products and services, which could adversely affect our business/operating margins, revenues and competitive position.

All of these shares were purchased by the company in open-market transactions and were authorized by the Board of Directors. The purchase of these shares satisfied the conditions of the safe harbor provided by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

For the majority of restricted stock units granted, the number of shares issued on the date the restricted stock units vest is net of the minimum statutory withholding requirements that we pay in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities on behalf of our employees. Although these withheld shares are not issued or considered common stock repurchases and are not included in the table above, the cash paid for taxes is treated in the same manner as common stock repurchases in our financial statements, as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting.

Basis of Presentation

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (the company) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, consistent in all material respects with those applied in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full year. The company’s fiscal calendar, in which each quarter ends on a Sunday, contains 53 weeks every seven years. This additional week is included in the first quarter of the year. The company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012 consists of 13 weeks and 14 weeks, respectively.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, investments, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes and customer incentives, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity and foreign currency markets, and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the company recorded restructuring and impairment charges, net of releases, of $1.2 million. The detail of these charges is presented in the summary table below.

During the three months ended April 1, 2012, the company recorded restructuring and impairment charges, net of 2012 releases, of $2.4 million. The charges include $1.0 million of employee separation costs associated with the 2011 Infrastructure Realignment Program as well as $1.1 million in employee separation costs and $0.4 million in facility closure costs associated with the 2012 Infrastructure Realignment Program.

The 2013 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs to close the 8-inch line at our Salt Lake wafer fab facility and the transfer of manufacturing to our 8-inch lines in Korea and Mountaintop, as well as various other organizational changes. The 2012 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs for organizational changes in the company’s sales organization, manufacturing sites and manufacturing support organizations, the human resources function, executive management levels, and the MCCC and PCIA product lines as well as the termination of an IT systems lease and the final closure of a warehouse in Korea. The 2011 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs for organizational changes in the company’s supply chain management group, the website technology group, the quality organization, and other administrative groups. The 2011 program also includes costs to further improve the company’s manufacturing strategy and changes in the PCIA and MCCC groups as well as a primarily voluntary retirement program at our Mountaintop, Pennsylvania location. The 2010 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs to simplify and realign some activities within the MCCC segment, costs for the continued refinement of the company’s manufacturing strategy, and costs associated with centralizing the company’s accounting functions. The 2009 Infrastructure Realignment Program included costs associated with the previously planned closure of the Mountaintop, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and the four-inch manufacturing line in Bucheon, South Korea, both of which were announced in the first quarter of 2009. The 2009 Program also included charges for a smaller worldwide cost reduction plan to further right-size our company. The consolidation of the South Korea fabrication lines was completed in 2011. Also during 2011, the company decided to keep open the Mountain Top facility reversing the March 2009 announcement to close the site.

The following table presents a summary of the activity in the company’s accrual for restructuring and impairment costs for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2013.

Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc. There are five outstanding proceedings with Power Integrations.

POWI 1: On October 20, 2004, the company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, were sued by Power Integrations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Power Integrations alleged that certain of the company’s pulse width modulation (PWM) integrated circuit products infringed four Power Integrations U.S. patents, and sought a permanent injunction preventing the company from manufacturing, selling or offering the products for sale in the U.S., or from importing the products into the U.S., as well as money damages for past infringement.

The trial in the case was divided into three phases. In the first phase of the trial that occurred in October of 2006, a jury returned a verdict finding that thirty-three of the company’s PWM products willfully infringed one or more of seven claims asserted in the four patents and assessed damages against the company. The company voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006. Subsequent phases of the trial conducted during 2007 and 2008 focused on the validity and enforceability of the patents. In December of 2008, the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s 2006 damages award from $34 million to approximately $6.1 million and ordered a new trial on the issue of willfulness. Following the new trial held in June of 2009, the court found the company’s infringement to have been willful and in January 2011 the court awarded Power Integrations final damages in the amount of $12.2 million. The company appealed the final damages award, willfulness finding, and other issues to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On March 26, 2013, the court of appeals vacated almost the entire damages award, ruling that there was no basis upon which a reasonable jury could find Fairchild liable for induced infringement. The court also vacated the earlier ruling of willful patent infringement by Fairchild. While the appeals court instructed the lower court to conduct further proceedings to determine damages based upon approximately $500,000 to $750,000 worth of sales and imports of affected products, Fairchild believes that damages on the basis of that level of infringing activity would not be material to Fairchild. Accordingly, the company released $12.6 million from the reserves relating to this case during the first quarter. Power Integrations has requested that the appeals court rehear the case. Although the company believes several aspects of the appeals court ruling apply to issues in other U.S. litigation between the company and Power Integrations, there are differences in the facts, asserted patents and accused products among the cases, and, as a result, no assurance can be given that similar outcomes will necessarily occur in the other lawsuits.

POWI 2: On May 23, 2008, Power Integrations filed another lawsuit against the company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary System General Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of three patents. Of the three patents asserted in that lawsuit, two were asserted against the company and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the October 2004 lawsuit described above. In 2011, POWI added a fourth patent to this case.

On October 14, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and System General Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Power Integrations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PWM integrated circuit products infringe one or more claims of two U.S. patents owned by System General. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and an injunction preventing the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Power Integrations products found to infringe the asserted patents.

Both lawsuits were consolidated and heard together in Delaware District Court in a jury trial in April of 2012. On April 27, 2012, the jury found that Power Integrations infringed one of the two U.S. patents owned by System General and upheld the validity of both System General patents. In the same case, the jury found that the company infringed two of four U.S. patents asserted by Power Integrations and that the company had induced its customers to infringe the asserted patents. The jury also upheld the validity of the asserted Power Integrations patents. The verdict concluded the first phase of trial in the litigation. Willfulness and damages in the case will be determined in a second phase, which has yet to be scheduled and may occur after appeals of the first phase.

POWI 3: On November 4, 2009, Power Integrations filed a complaint for patent infringement against the company and two of the company’s subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that several of our products infringe three of Power Integrations’ patents. One of those patents has since been dropped from the case. The company intends to put on a vigorous defense against these claims. In the same lawsuit we have filed counterclaims against Power Integrations, alleging Power Integrations’ products infringe certain claims of one of our patents. Trial is scheduled for February 2014.

POWI 4: On February 10, 2010, Fairchild and System General filed a lawsuit in Suzhou, China against four Power Integrations entities and seven vendors. The lawsuit claims that Power Integrations violates certain Fairchild/System General patents. Fairchild is seeking an injunction against the Power Integrations products and over $17.0 million in damages. Hearings comparable to a trial in U.S. litigation were held in January, May and July 2012. In December of 2012, the Suzhou court ruled in favor of Power Integrations and denied the claims. The company is appealing the trial court’s judgment to the appeals court in Nanjing, China.

POWI 5: On May 1, 2012, Fairchild sued Power Integrations in United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit accuses Power Integration’s LinkSwitch-PH LED power conversion products of violating three Fairchild patents. Power Integrations has counterclaimed against Fairchild asserting five Power Integrations patents. Trial is expected in 2014.

Other Legal Claims. From time to time the company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The company believes that there is no such ordinary-course litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

The company analyzes potential outcomes from current litigation in accordance with the Contingency Topic of the FASB ASC. Accordingly, the company analyzes such outcomes as loss contingencies, and divides them into three categories based on the possibility that the contingency will give rise to an actual loss. The first category represents contingencies for which management believes the possibility of loss is remote. For contingencies in this category, the company does not record a reserve or assess the range of possible losses. The second category represents contingencies for which losses are believed to be reasonably possible. For this category, the company assesses the range of possible losses but does not record a reserve. There are currently no contingencies in this category. The third category represents contingencies for which losses are believed to be probable. For this category, the company determines the range of probable losses and records a reserve reflecting the best estimate within the range. For contingencies within this category, the company currently believes the range of probable losses is approximately $1.5 million to $3.8 million and the best estimate of losses within this range to be $1.5 million as of March 31, 2013 and has recorded this amount as a reserve. The amount reserved is based upon assessments of the potential liabilities using analysis of claims and historical experience in defending and resolving such claims.

Fair Value

Fair Value

Note 5 – Fair Value

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. In accordance with the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), the company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

• Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted market price for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2 – Valuation is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

• Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

In accordance with the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, it is the company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. When available, the company uses quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market based parameters including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, the company is required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect the results of current or future values. The results may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of an asset or liability.

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include securities and derivatives. Financial instruments classified as Level 1 are securities traded on an active exchange as well as U.S. Treasury, and other U.S. government and agency-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Derivatives are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. Auction rate securities were classified as Level 3 financial instruments in 2012. There are no level 3 instruments in 2013.

The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement. All of the company’s derivatives are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the company measures fair value using prices obtained from the counterparties with whom the company has traded. The counterparties price the derivatives based on models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities. Accordingly, the company classifies these derivatives as Level 2.

The company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to hedging instruments. The counterparties to all derivative transactions are major financial institutions. However, this does not eliminate the company’s exposure to credit risk with these institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in such contracts should any of these counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The company considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013.

Long term debt is carried at amortized cost. However, the company is required to estimate the fair value of long term debt under the Financial Instrument Topic of the FASB ASC. The market rates are currently lower than our interest rate of Libor + 1.75. In order to calculate the fair market value of the loan we have discounted the future payment stream at the current market rate. See Note 12 for more information on the credit facility.

Segment Information

Note 8 – Segment Information

Fairchild is currently organized onto three reportable segments. The organization is an application based structure which corresponds with the way the company manages the business. The majority of the company’s activities are aligned into two focus areas; MCCC, which focuses on mobile, computing and multimedia applications with typically lower power requirements, and the Power Conversion, Industrial, and Automotive (PCIA) business, which focuses on the higher power requirements for motor control solutions, power supplies, power conversion and automotive drive train applications. Each of these segments has a relatively small set of leading customers, common technology requirements and similar design cycles. The Standard Discrete and Standard Linear (SDT) business is managed separately as a third reportable segment.

The following table presents selected operating segment financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012.

Derivatives

Note 6 – Derivatives

Derivatives. The company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In accordance with the requirements of the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC, the fair value of these hedges is recorded on the balance sheet. For the fair value of derivatives, see Note 5.

Foreign Currency Derivatives. The company uses currency forward and combination option contracts to hedge a portion of its forecasted foreign exchange denominated revenues and expenses. The company monitors its foreign currency exposures to maximize the overall effectiveness of its foreign currency hedge positions. Currencies hedged include the euro, Japanese yen, Philippine peso, Malaysian ringgit, Korean won and Chinese yuan. The company’s objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize the risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures. The maturities of the cash flow hedges are 12 months or less.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to time value are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Hedge ineffectiveness, determined in accordance the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC, did not have a material impact on earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2013. No cash flow hedges were derecognized or discontinued during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) are reclassified into earnings at the time the forecasted transaction is recognized. The company estimates that $1.3 million of net unrealized derivative losses included in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

The company also uses currency forward and combination option contracts to offset the foreign currency impact of balance sheet translation. These derivatives have one month terms and the initial fair value, if any, and the subsequent gains or losses on the change in fair value are reported in earnings within the same income statement line as the impact of the foreign currency translation. From time to time, the company will also hedge the liability for an expected cash payment in foreign currency. These derivatives have terms that match the expected payment timing. The initial fair value, if any, and the subsequent gains or losses on the change in fair value are reported in earnings within the same income statement line as the change in value of the liability due to changes in currency value.

The tables below show the notional principal and the location and amounts of the derivative fair values in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 and December 30, 2012 as well as the location of derivative gains and losses in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012. The notional principal amounts for these instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of the end of the period and do not represent the amount of the company’s exposure to credit or market loss. The estimates of fair value are based on applicable and commonly used pricing models using prevailing financial market information as of March 31, 2013 and December 30, 2012. Although the following table reflects the notional principal and fair value of amounts of derivative financial instruments, it does not reflect the gains or losses associated with the exposures and transactions that these financial instruments are intended to hedge. The amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of these financial instruments, together with the gains and losses on the underlying exposures will depend on actual market conditions during the remaining life of the instruments.

Computation of Net Income per Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2013

Computation of Net Income per Share

Note 3 – Computation of Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock relating to potentially dilutive securities. There is no dilution when a net loss exists. Potentially dilutive common equivalent securities consist of stock options, performance units (PUs), deferred stock units (DSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the average market price for the respective period using the treasury share method. Certain potential shares of the company’s outstanding stock options were excluded because they were anti-dilutive, but could be dilutive in the future. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Strategic Investments

Note 13 – Strategic Investments

The company has certain strategic investments that are typically accounted for on a cost basis as they are less than 20% owned, and the company does not exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the cost method, investments are held at historical cost, less impairments. The company periodically assesses the need to record impairment losses on investments and records such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other-than-temporary in nature. A variety of factors are considered when determining if a decline in fair value below book value is other-than-temporary, including, among others, the financial condition and prospects of the investee.

During the first quarter of 2013, as a result of the failure of certain funding plans for one of the strategic investments, the company evaluated the investment for impairment. Based on the current financial position of the investment and the lack of future cash flow funding, the company determined that the investment was impaired and wrote off the full value of $3.0 million.

The total cost basis for strategic investments, which are included in other assets on the balance sheet, was $0.7 million and $3.7 million, net of impairments, as of March 31, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
