STATS ChipPAC Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results
Singapore — 7/30/2010, United States — 7/30/2010 — STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC” or the “Company” — SGX-ST: STATSChP), a leading semiconductor test and advanced packaging service provider, today announced results for the second quarter 2010.
Tan Lay Koon, President and Chief Executive Officer of STATS ChipPAC, said, “We are pleased with our second quarter performance. Revenue for second quarter of 2010 increased by 35.7% to $435.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2009 and increased by 12.2% over the prior quarter. Our second quarter revenue reflected strong demand across all segments and was better than seasonal trend. As a result of higher savings from cost reduction effort and richer product mix, profitability for the quarter significantly improved over corresponding quarter a year ago.”
Net income for second quarter of 2010 was $37.3 million or $0.02 of net income per diluted ordinary share, compared to $2.2 million or $0.00 per diluted ordinary share in the second quarter of 2009 and net income of $27.5 million or $0.01 of net income per diluted ordinary share in the prior quarter.
John Lau, Chief Financial Officer of STATS ChipPAC, said, “Our gross margin in the second quarter of 2010 was 21.5% compared to 15.1% in the second quarter of 2009 and 20.0% in the prior quarter. Operating margin for second quarter of 2010 was 12.9% of revenue compared to 4.7% in the second quarter of 2009 and 11.2% in the prior quarter. Capital spending in the second quarter of 2010 was $67.7 million or 15.5% of revenue compared to $32.4 million or 10.1% of revenue in the second quarter of 2009, as we continued investments in wafer level packaging and 300mm eWLB manufacturing capacity. We ended the second quarter of 2010 with cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities of $381.1 million and debt of $451.4 million, compared to $368.1 million and $458.0 million, respectively, as of the fourth quarter of 2009.”
The Company has today announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation in respect of its $213.0 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 (“Existing Notes”) and is concurrently offering senior notes (“New Notes”) in a private placement in furtherance of its capital reduction plans, details of which are contained in a separate press release.

Global Market Conditions
The United States and other countries have experienced difficult economic conditions, including unprecedented financial market disruption. The downturn in the global economy and the semiconductor markets that accelerated during the second half of 2008 and continued well into 2009 have adversely affected, and we expect will continue to affect, demand for our products and services. The semiconductor industry recovered on a faster pace during the second half of 2009, and continues to grow in 2010 driven by new demands from the computing, communication and consumer convergent products, as well as low inventory level in the semiconductor supply chain. However, the uncertainty in global economic conditions remains and there can be no assurance that global economic conditions will improve, which may make it difficult for our customers to accurately forecast and plan for future business activities. A sustained global economic slowdown and downturn in the semiconductor industry would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, financial position and/or prospects.
Furthermore, restrictions on credit globally and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in countries in which we have operations may impact economic activity and our results of operations. Credit risk associated with our customers and our investment portfolio may also be adversely impacted. Financial market disruption may also result in increased interest expense or inability to obtain financing for our operations or investments.
Tender offer of Existing Notes, Private Placement of New Notes and Proposed Capital Reduction
The Company has today announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation in respect of its $213.0 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 (“Existing Notes”) and is concurrently offering senior notes (“New Notes”) in a private placement in furtherance of its capital reduction plans, details of which are contained in a separate press release.
These materials do not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The Company has not registered and does not intend to register any part of the proposed offering of New Notes in the United States. These materials also do not constitute an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or a solicitation of tenders or consents with respect to, any Existing Notes.
Results of Operations
Three and six months ended June 27, 2010 compared to three and six months ended June 28, 2009
Net Revenues
We derive revenues primarily from packaging and testing of laminate and leaded packages. Net revenues were US$435.3 million and US$823.3 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, respectively, an increase of 35.7% and 52.1% compared to US$320.7 million and US$541.2 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. The increase in net revenues in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, respectively was primarily due to continued improvement in the semiconductor industry.
In the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, unit volumes of our total packaging were 45.6% and 68.2% higher compared to the same periods in 2009, respectively. Average selling prices declined by 9.7% and 12.6% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, respectively, due to product mix change and price decrease. These resulted in a net increase of our packaging revenues in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 by 31.5% and 47.2% to US$308.8 million and US$583.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009. Revenue from test services in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 increased 20.8% and 36.7% to US$89.0 million and US$175.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009. Revenue from wafer level processing and other services in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 increased 207.4% and 283.3% to US$37.5 million and US$64.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009. Previously, we have reported revenue from wafer level processing and other services together with revenue from test services as revenue from test and other services. Commencing with the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we are reporting revenue from wafer level processing and other services separately from revenue from test services as a result of an increase in revenue from wafer level processing. We have similarly disclosed revenue from revenue from wafer level processing and other services separately from revenue from test services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 for comparative purposes.
In the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, revenue contribution from the communications market decreased 1.8% and 0.2% over the same periods in 2009 to US$224.1 million and US$427.0 million, respectively, and represented 51.5% and 51.9% of our revenues in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, respectively. Revenue contribution from consumer, multi-applications and other markets in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 increased 3.2% and decreased 0.2% compared to the same periods in 2009 to US$141.0 million and US$266.3 million, respectively, and represented 32.4% and 32.3% of our revenues in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, respectively. Revenue contribution from the personal computer market in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 decreased 1.4% and increased 0.4% to US$70.2 million and US$130.0 million over the same periods in 2009, respectively, and represented 16.1% and 15.8% of our revenues in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, respectively. We expect to continue to depend on the communications, consumer and multi-applications, and personal computer markets for substantially all of our net revenues.

Gross Profit
Gross profit in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 was US$93.6 million and US$171.3 million, compared to US$48.4 million and US$46.2 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 21.5% and 20.8% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to 15.1% and 8.5% in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, gross profit increased primarily due to higher net revenues, richer product mix and higher savings from our cost reduction efforts. Overall equipment utilization was approximately 67% in the three months ended June 27, 2010 compared to 51% in the three months ended June 28, 2009. Our cost of revenues consist principally of fixed costs such as depreciation and leasing expenses and variable costs such as direct and indirect labor, materials and overhead expenses. We continue to experience higher cost as a result of external global economic factors, such as higher substrate and gold prices which affected our cost of materials.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were US$25.4 million and US$48.0 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, an increase of 8.1% and 8.8% compared to US$23.5 million and US$44.1 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses were lower primarily due to mandatory shutdowns and vacations. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 5.8% and 5.8% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 compared to 7.3% and 8.2% in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were US$12.3 million and US$23.8 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 compared to US$9.8 million and US$17.4 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in research and development activities in advanced packaging in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 and lower research and development expenses during the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 resulted from longer mandatory shutdowns and vacations. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses were 2.8% and 2.9% in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to 3.0% and 3.2% in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively.
Restructuring Charges
No restructuring charges were incurred in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010. In the three months ended March 29, 2009, we recorded severance and related charges of US$12.9 million in connection with our restructuring plan involving the reduction of approximately 600 employees, representing approximately 5% of our global workforce. We implemented the restructuring plan to reduce our operating costs in response to the severe operating environment during that period and to realign our organization’s structure and efficiency.
Net Interest Income (Expense)
Net interest expense was US$7.0 million and US$14.0 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to US$7.3 million and US$14.6 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. Interest income was US$0.5 million and US$0.9 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to US$0.5 million and US$1.1 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. The decrease in interest income in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 was primarily due to lower interest rates in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, respectively.
Interest expense was US$7.5 million and US$14.9 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to US$7.8 million and US$15.7 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to our repayment of US$10.0 million of our 6.0% promissory notes to LSI Corporation (“LSI”) in October 2009, and the repurchase of US$2.0 million of our 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 in March 2009. Total outstanding interest-bearing debt was US$451.4 million and US$467.2 million as of June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss)
Net foreign currency exchange loss was US$1.1 million and US$2.0 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to US$5.0 million and US$3.0 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. These non-cash losses were due primarily to the fluctuations during the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, respectively, between the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and the South Korean Won, the Singapore dollar, the Malaysian Ringgit, the Chinese Renminbi and the Thai Baht.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net
Net other non-operating income was US$0.04 million and US$0.2 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to net other non-operating income (expense) of US$0.1 million and US$(2.3) million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively. The non-operating expense in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 was primarily due to the expenses related to our previously disclosed aborted capital reduction and debt financing in 2008.
Income Tax Expense
Our consolidated income tax expense was US$8.9 million and US$15.9 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to US$0.4 million and US$0.8 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively, based on the mix of tax rates and taxable income across the various jurisdictions in which we do business. Our primary tax jurisdictions are Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States.

The US$8.9 million and US$15.9 million tax expense in the three months and six months ended June 27, 2010 included tax benefit adjustments to the effective tax rate related to US$2.6 million and US$1.8 million of liability for unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, respectively, compared to tax expense adjustments of US$0.3 million and US$0.2 million in the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, respectively.
We recognize interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefit in income tax expense. As of June 27, 2010, we do not have any accrued interest and penalties.
Balance Sheet
Total Group assets increased US$98.8 million to US$2,525.7 million mainly due to an increase in accounts receivables by US$46.7 million, property, plant and equipment by US$34.7 million, and cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities by US$12.9 million.
The increase in accounts receivable was due to higher net revenues. The increase in property, plant and equipment is mainly due to expansion in our wafer level packaging and 300mm eWLB manufacturing capacity. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due higher net revenues offset by cash used in investing and financing activities.
Total Group liabilities increased US$31.8 million to US$835.2 million mainly due to an increase in accounts payables, payables related to property, plant and equipment purchases, and other payables by US$30.4 million in the aggregate and US$6.5 million in other non-current liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in total debts by US$6.6 million. The increase in accounts payables, payables related to property, plant and equipment purchases, and other payables is due to increased purchase of property, plant and equipment.
Total shareholders’ equity attributable to STATS ChipPAC Ltd. increased by US$65.0 million to US$1,629.7 million mainly due to a net income of US$64.8 million recorded in the six months ended June 27, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity consists of cash flows from operating activities, bank facilities, debt financing, and our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of June 27, 2010, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of US$381.1 million. We also have available lines of credit and banking facilities consisting of loans, overdrafts, letters of credit and bank guarantees, including those available to our consolidated subsidiaries, which amounted to an aggregate of US$521.1 million, of which US$89.7 million was utilized as of June 27, 2010. Our liquidity needs arise primarily from servicing our outstanding debts, working capital needs and the funding of capital expenditures and investments. Our capital expenditures are largely driven by the demand for our services, primarily to increase our packaging and testing capacity, to replace packaging and testing equipment from time to time, and to expand our facilities and service offerings. Depending on business conditions, we expect our capital expenditures in 2010 to increase from our previous estimate of US$200 million to approximately US$270 million due to improved business outlook. We spent US$67.7 million and US$167.0 million on capital expenditures in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, compared to US$32.4 million and US$41.8 million in the same periods in 2009. Our capital expenditure in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 was higher over the same periods in 2009 as we expanded our wafer level packaging and 300mm embedded Wafer-Level Ball Grid Array (eWLB) manufacturing capacity.
In July 2010, we repaid the US$50.0 million loan with Bank of America. We funded the repayment with cash on hand.
In May 2010, we obtained a term loan facility of US$360.0 million with a syndicate of lenders. The loan drawdown must be made within 6 months from the date of the facility agreement but no later than November 15, 2010. No drawdown has been made for this facility as of June 27, 2010. On July 19, 2010, we drew down US$150.0 million to finance the redemption of the 7.5% Senior Notes due 2010 at maturity on July 19, 2010.
In September 2009, STATS ChipPAC Korea Ltd. obtained a short term loan facility from DBS Bank Ltd with a credit limit of US$25.0 million. No drawdown has been made from this facility as of June 27, 2010.
In June 2009, STATS ChipPAC Shanghai Co., Ltd. obtained a short term loan facility from Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. with a credit limit of US$15.0 million. US$6.0 million was drawn down under this credit facility over two loan tranches of US$3.0 million each. The principal of the two loan tranches of US$3.0 million each that were due to mature in June 2010 were rolled forward to a maturity date in June 2011. As of June 27, 2010, US$6.0 million was outstanding under this credit facility.
In March 2009, we repurchased US$2.0 million aggregate principal amount of our US$215.0 million 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 for US$1.7 million (excluding interest). We funded the repurchase of these senior notes with our existing cash on hand. We have deposited the repurchased US$2.0 million principal amount of senior notes with a banking institution to hold in custody and accordingly, those senior notes have thereupon ceased to be outstanding or to accrue interest in our financial statements.
In October 2007, we consummated the previously announced definitive agreement with LSI pursuant to which STATS ChipPAC (Thailand) Limited acquired LSI’s assembly and test operations in Thailand for an aggregate purchase price of approximately US$100.0 million. We funded the initial payment of US$50.0 million of the aggregate purchase consideration with our working capital, including our cash and cash

4


 

equivalents, and issued a promissory note bearing interest of 6.0% per annum for the balance US$46.8 million purchase price, after taking into account a contractual net-off of US$3.2 million of receivables from LSI. The promissory note is payable over four annual installments of US$20.0 million, US$10.0 million, US$10.0 million and US$6.8 million commencing October 2, 2008. The first and second annual installment of US$20.0 million and US$10.0 million were paid to LSI in 2008 and 2009, respectively. As of June 27, 2010, the amount payable to LSI under the promissory note was US$16.8 million.
We believe that our cash on hand, existing credit facilities and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated capital expenditure requirements, investment requirements, as well as debt service repayment obligations for the next 12 months. We regularly evaluate our current and future financing needs and may take advantage of favorable market conditions to raise additional financing. We may also from time to time seek to refinance our outstanding debt, or retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for securities, in the open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. From time to time, we may make acquisitions of, or investments in, other companies and businesses that we believe could expand our business, augment our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. Such additional financing, refinancing, repurchases, exchanges, acquisitions or investments, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Under the global market conditions as discussed above, there can be no assurance that our business activity would be maintained at the expected level to generate the anticipated cash flows from operations or that our credit facilities would be available or sufficient. If the market conditions deteriorate, there can be no assurance that demand for our services will not be adversely affected, resulting in our cash flows from operations being lower than anticipated. If our cash flows from operations is lower than anticipated, including as a result of a downturn in the market conditions generally or the semiconductor industry or otherwise, or our capital requirements exceed our expectations as a result of higher than anticipated growth in the semiconductor industry, acquisition or investment opportunities, or the expansion of our business or otherwise, we may have to seek additional financing. In such events, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available or, if available, that such financings can be obtained on terms favorable to us or that any additional financing will not be dilutive to our shareholders or detrimental to our creditors.
Total Borrowings
As of June 27, 2010, our total debt outstanding consisted of US$451.4 million of borrowings, which included US$150.0 million of our 7.5% Senior Notes due 2010, US$213.0 million of our 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011, and other long-term and short-term borrowings.
On July 19, 2010, we redeemed US$150.0 million of our 7.5% Senior Notes due 2010 at maturity. We financed the redemption with a drawdown of US$150.0 million from our US$360.0 million term loan facility.
On May 18, 2010, we obtained a senior credit facility of US$360.0 million with a syndicated group of lenders. The credit facility is guaranteed by all of our material wholly-owned subsidiaries other than our China subsidiaries and will mature in May 2013. During the tenor of the credit facility, we will be required to repay 5% of the principal amount of the credit facility on each of the first two semiannual payment dates, 10% of the principal amount of the credit facility on the third semiannual payment date, 15% of the credit facility on each of the fourth and fifth semiannual payment dates, and the remaining 50% of the principal amount of the credit facility on the sixth (and final) semiannual payment date. The interest rate payable under the credit facility will be determined by reference to LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on our then-applicable leverage ratio. The agreement governing the credit facility contains provisions relating to optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment, representations, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The loan drawdown must be made within 6 months from the date of the facility agreement but no later than November 15, 2010. We incurred deferred debt issuance cost of approximately $11.5 million in syndication, legal and other costs during the three months ended June 27, 2010. As of June 27, 2010, we have not utilized the term loan facility. On July 19, 2010, we made a drawdown of US$150.0 million from the credit facility to finance the redemption upon maturity of the 7.5% Senior Notes due 2010.

In March 2009, we repurchased US$2.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.75% Senior Notes due 2011 for US$1.7 million (excluding interest). We funded the repurchase of these senior notes with our existing cash on hand. As a result, we recognized a gain on repurchase of senior notes of US$0.3 million in the first quarter of 2009.
In October 2007, we issued a promissory note carrying interest, payable annually, of 6.0% per annum to LSI in connection with the acquisition of an assembly and test operations in Thailand. The amount payable to LSI after contractual netting off of certain receivables from LSI of US$3.2 million amounted to US$16.8 million as of December 27, 2009.

Contingencies
     We are subject to claims and litigations, which arise in the normal course of business. These claims may include allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights of others as well as other claims of liability. We accrue liability associated with these claims and litigations when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
     In February 2006, our Company, STATS ChipPAC Inc., (“ChipPAC”) and STATS ChipPAC (BVI) Limited were named as defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit filed in United States Federal Court for the Northern District of California (the “California Litigation”). The plaintiff, Tessera, Inc. (“Tessera”), has asserted that semiconductor chip packaging, specifically devices having Ball Grid Array (“BGA”) and multi-chip BGA configurations used by the defendants infringe certain patents of Tessera. Tessera has further asserted that our Company is in breach of an existing license agreement entered into by Tessera with ChipPAC, Inc., which agreement has been assigned by ChipPAC, Inc. to our Company.
     In May 2007, at Tessera’s request, the United States International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) instituted an investigation (the “First ITC Investigation”) of certain of our Company’s co-defendants in the California Litigation and other companies, including certain of our Company’s customers. In addition, in April 2007, Tessera instituted an action in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Texas Action”) against certain of our Company’s co-defendants in the California Litigation and other companies. In the First ITC Investigation, the ITC issued a limited exclusion order in May 2009 preventing the named companies from importing certain packaged semiconductor chips and products containing them into the United States. The respondents in the First ITC Investigation appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals and the appeal is pending. The Texas Action seeks damages and injunctive relief against the named defendants. Both the First ITC Investigation and the Texas Action allege infringement of two of the same patents asserted by Tessera in the California Litigation, and may involve some of the same products packaged by our Company that are included in the California Litigation.
     In May 2008, the ITC instituted an investigation (the “Second ITC Investigation”) of our Company and other semiconductor package assembly service providers that are included in the California Litigation. In the Second ITC Investigation, Tessera sought an order to prevent our Company and other named companies (collectively, the “Respondents”) from providing packaging or assembly services for certain packaged semiconductor chips incorporating small format non-tape BGA semiconductor packages and products containing them, for importation into the United States. In addition, Tessera sought a general exclusion order excluding from importation all small format non-tape BGA semiconductor packages (and downstream products containing such packages), regardless of whether such packages are assembled by the Respondents. The Second ITC Investigation alleged infringement of three of the same patents asserted by Tessera in the California Litigation. Our Company responded to the complaint in June 2008. In February 2009, the Second ITC Investigation was stayed pending the outcome of the First ITC Investigation. In March 2009, Tessera moved to terminate the Second ITC Investigation. In August 2009, the ITC issued a final determination terminating the Second ITC Investigation.
     The district court in the California Litigation has vacated the trial schedule and stayed all proceedings pending a final resolution of the First ITC Investigation. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) has also instituted reexamination proceedings on all of the patents Tessera has asserted in the California Litigation and the Second ITC Investigation. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the California Litigation, the total costs of resolving the California Litigation, or when the stay in the California Litigation will be lifted; nor is it possible to predict the outcome of the First ITC Investigation or the Texas Action. It is also not possible to predict the outcome of the PTO proceedings or their impact on the California Litigation or the First ITC Investigation.
     We believe that we have a meritorious defense to these claims and intend to defend the lawsuit(s) vigorously. A court or ITC determination that our products or processes infringe the intellectual property rights of others could result in significant liability and/or require us to make material changes to our products and/or processes. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the lawsuit(s) and investigation(s), we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome and it could result in significant liability and/or injunction and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and the results of operations of our Company.
     Our Company also, from time to time, receives from customers request for indemnification against pending or threatened infringement claims brought against such customers, such as the Tessera cases described above. The resolution of any future allegation or request for indemnification could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
     In addition, we are subject to various taxes in the different jurisdictions in which we operate. These include taxes on income, property, goods and services, and other taxes. We submit tax returns and claims with the appropriate government taxing authorities, which are subject to examination and agreement by those taxing authorities. We will regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine adequacy of provision for taxes.
