See accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 5 MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 29, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001. The Company has a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in June. Accordingly, every sixth or seventh fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal year 2001 was a 53-week fiscal year. The three months ended December 30, 2000 consisted of 14 weeks. The impact of the extra week on the Company's operating results for the three months ended December 30, 2000 consisted primarily of additional salary related expenses. These additional expenses were not material. NOTE 2: BUSINESS COMBINATION On April 11, 2001, the Company acquired Dallas Semiconductor Corporation (Dallas Semiconductor), a leading provider of specialty semiconductors. The Company issued approximately 41.0 million shares of its common stock in exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Dallas Semiconductor. In addition, the Company exchanged all options to purchase Dallas Semiconductor common stock for options to purchase approximately 5.9 million shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and qualifies as a tax-free reorganization. All financial data of the Company presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements has been restated to include the historical financial data of Dallas Semiconductor in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Adjustments relating to deferral of income on shipments to distributors were required to conform the accounting policies of the acquired company. The Company and Dallas Semiconductor had certain differences in the classification of revenues and expenses in their historical statements of operations and assets and liabilities in their historical balance sheets. Adjustments have been made to conform the combined companies' income statement and balance sheet classifications. In addition, the lives of the property, plant and equipment acquired as part of the merger with Dallas Semiconductor were conformed to the lives used by the Company as appropriate. The Company's statement of income for the three and six months ended December 30, 2000 was combined with the Dallas Semiconductor statement of income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. 6 MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.

Foreign currency translation adjustments are not tax affected. 9 MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) NOTE 8: MERGER AND SPECIAL CHARGES During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded merger costs in connection with the acquisition of Dallas Semiconductor of approximately $26.4 million. These costs consist of approximately $14.1 million intended to satisfy the change in control payments under previously existing employment contracts and other non-employee director arrangements for which there was no future economic benefit; a $5.8 million payment to be made under a change in control provision in a previously existing life insurance arrangement for which there was no future economic benefit; and $6.5 million for fees related to investment banking, legal, accounting, filings with regulatory agencies, financial printing, and other related costs. It is expected that substantially all of these direct transaction costs will be paid out of existing cash reserves within 12 months of the consummation of the merger. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded special charges of $137.0 million. These special charges resulted from the significant decrease in demand that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 for Dallas Semiconductor's products in combination with the Company's intention to close Dallas Semiconductor's 6-inch wafer manufacturing facility and dispose of the related equipment. The Company intends to complete construction of an 8-inch wafer manufacturing facility located in Dallas, Texas that was under construction when the merger was consummated. Once complete, the 8-inch wafer manufacturing facility will serve as Dallas Semiconductor's primary wafer manufacturing facility. In addition, the Company is concentrating test operations of the combined company at the Company's test facilities located in the Philippines and Thailand. Once complete, certain Dallas Semiconductor test equipment will be disposed of. The Company concluded that the above facts indicated that Dallas Semiconductor's long-lived assets might be impaired, and as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, performed a cash flow analysis of the related assets. Based on the cash flow analysis, the cash flows expected to be generated by Dallas Semiconductor's long-lived assets during their estimated remaining useful lives are not sufficient to recover the net book value of the assets. Based on the cash flow analysis, an impairment charge of $124.4 million was recorded to reduce the net book value of Dallas Semiconductor's long-lived assets to fair value. In addition to the above, the Company recorded special charges of $12.6 million to reflect the reorganization of the Company's sales organization, purchase order cancellation fees, and the reduction in the Company's manufacturing workforce. The above actions directly impacted employees in the Company's sales, marketing, and manufacturing organizations. During the three months ended December 29, 2001, the Company recorded special charges of $1.4 million related to reductions in the Company's manufacturing workforce. It is expected that 201 employees will be terminated by these actions, of which 158 were terminated and $1.0 million of termination benefits were paid by December 29, 2001. In addition to the above, during the three months ended December 29, 2001, the Company paid $0.2 million of termination benefits related to special charges recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. The Company has terminated 391 employees and has paid $5.1 million of termination benefits related to the special charges recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. 10 MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) Based on developments that occurred during the three months ended December 29, 2001 related to the special charges recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company revised its estimate of the reserve balance needed for purchase order cancellation fees. Based on the current status of negotiations with vendors regarding purchase order cancellation fees, the Company believes the amount which will ultimately be paid will be approximately $1.4 million less than the amount recorded for such charges at September 29, 2001. Accordingly, the Company decreased the amount recorded for purchase order cancellation fees by $1.4 million to reflect this change in estimate. The following table summarizes the activity related to the above actions for the six months ended December 29, 2001:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchase Order Merger Cancellation (Amount in thousands) Costs Severance Fees Other Total ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserve balance at June 30, 2001 $ 8,141 $ 553 $ 7,513 $ 2,244 $ 18,451 Adjustment -- 2,581 (2,581) -- -- Cash payments (4,906) (2,950) -- (426) (8,282) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserve balance at September 29, 2001 $ 3,235 $ 184 $ 4,932 $ 1,818 $ 10,169 Special charges -- 1,400 -- -- 1,400 Adjustment -- -- (1,400) -- (1,400) Cash payments -- (1,167) -- -- (1,167) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserve balance at December 29, 2001 $ 3,235 $ 417 $ 3,532 $ 1,818 $ 9,002 =======================================================================================================
The remaining merger and special charges reserve at December 29, 2001 is expected to be paid out by the end of fiscal year 2002. NOTE 9: CONTINGENCIES On September 21, 2001, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order dismissing a patent litigation action by Linear Technology Corporation against the Company described in prior periodic reports to the SEC. The court found that the Company did not infringe any of the claims of the asserted patent. The suit had claimed that the Company infringed various "sleep mode" and "current reversal prevention" claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,481,178. These claims were directed to the operation of switching voltage regulators, parts commonly used in laptop computers, cellular telephones and other applications. The Company moved for summary judgment on a number of subjects, including noninfringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the patent. The court found that the Company's remaining summary judgment motions were rendered moot by its noninfringement ruling. Linear Technology Corporation has appealed the decision. While the Company continues to believe the claims are without merit, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of the appeal. 11 MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) NOTE 10: COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES Following the extraordinary events on September 11, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an Emergency Order pursuant to Section 12(k)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This Emergency Order was issued to temporarily ease the restrictions of Rule 10 b-18 during the five business days following the opening of the U.S. securities market on September 17, 2001. The Emergency Order also provided that, despite pooling-of-interests provisions in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and the related interpretations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, consensuses of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force, rules and regulations of the Commission and interpretations by its staff, and other authoritative accounting guidance, a company could continue to account for its business combination transactions as a pooling-of-interests if it repurchased its own common stock pursuant to the Emergency Order. Subsequently, the Securities Exchange Commission extended this Emergency Order to September 28, 2001. As a result of the Emergency Order, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of its common stock for the ten business days following the opening of the U.S. securities markets on September 17, 2001. During the period from September 17, 2001 to September 28, 2001, the Company repurchased 8.2 million shares of its common stock for $286.6 million On September 28, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an Exemptive Order to respond to market developments. Similar to its previously issued Emergency Order, the Exemptive Order eased the restrictions of Rule 10 b-18 and provided that, despite pooling-of-interests provisions in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and the related interpretations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, consensuses of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force, rules and regulations of the Commission and interpretations by its staff, and other authoritative accounting guidance, a company could continue to account for its business combination transactions as a pooling-of-interests if it repurchased its own common stock pursuant to the Exemptive Order during the period from October 1, 2001 to October 12, 2001. On October 1, 2001 the Company increased the number of shares authorized to be repurchased to 15 million, and during the period from October 1, 2001 to October 12, 2001, the Company repurchased 2.0 million shares of its common stock for $67.8 million. The Company does not anticipate any further common stock repurchases in fiscal year 2002, and, to the extent that the Board's authorization to repurchase shares was not fully executed by October 12, 2001, that authorization has been rescinded. 12 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET REVENUES Net revenues were $247.1 million and $438.3 million for the three months ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000, respectively, a decrease of 43.6%. Net revenues were $486.5 million and $860.6 million for the six months ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000, respectively, a decrease of 43.5%. The decrease in net revenues is due to downturns in certain industry segments and in the general economy. During the three and six months ended December 29, 2001, approximately 61% and 62%, respectively, of net revenues were derived from customers outside of the United States. While the majority of these sales are denominated in US dollars, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate its risks on firm commitments and net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on revenue and the Company's results of operations for the three and six months ended December 29, 2001 was immaterial. GROSS MARGIN Gross margin was 70.1% and 64.8% for the three months ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000, respectively. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended December 29, 2001 is attributable to cost reductions and charges recorded during the three months ended December 29, 2001 as compared to the three months ended December 30, 2000. Gross margin for the three months ended December 29, 2001 was negatively impacted due to $3.0 million recorded for inventory reserves. Gross margin for the three months ended December 30, 2000 was negatively impacted due to $14.3 million recorded for inventory reserves and $11.6 million recorded to reduce the carrying value of plant and equipment that was abandoned, no longer in use, or whose estimated useful lives were shortened, resulting in accelerated depreciation. Gross margin was 70.0% and 64.8% for the six months ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000, respectively. The increase in gross margin for the six months ended December 29, 2001 is attributable to cost reductions and charges recorded during the six months ended December 29, 2001 as compared to the six months ended December 30, 2000. Gross margin for the six months ended December 29, 2001 was negatively impacted due to $6.5 million recorded for inventory reserves. Gross margin for the six months ended December 30, 2000 was negatively impacted due to $16.9 million recorded for inventory reserves and $26.5 million recorded to reduce the carrying value of plant and equipment that was abandoned, no longer in use, or whose estimated useful lives were shortened, resulting in accelerated depreciation. 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses were $68.6 million and $71.5 million for the three months ended December 29, 2001, and December 30, 2000, respectively, which represented 27.7% and 16.3% of net revenues, respectively. Research and development expenses were $134.5 million and $138.1 million for the six months ended December 29, 2001, and December 30, 2000, respectively, which represented 27.7% and 16.0% of net revenues, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended December 29, 2001 as compared to the same periods in the prior year is due to $3.6 million and $7.1 million recorded during the three and six months ended December 30, 2000, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of plant and equipment that was abandoned, no longer in use, or whose estimated useful lives were shortened, resulting in accelerated depreciation. The decrease is somewhat offset primarily by increased headcount and related employee expenses to continue development of new products to support revenue growth. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.8 million and $43.4 million for the three months ended December 29, 2001, and December 30, 2000, respectively, which represented 9.2% and 9.9% of net revenues, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $47.9 million and $85.0 million for the six months ended December 29, 2001, and December 30, 2000, respectively, which represented 9.9% and 9.9% of net revenues, respectively. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended December 29, 2001 as compared to the three and six months ended December 30, 2000 is due to lower sales representative commissions and decreased headcount related expenses due mainly to a reorganization of the combined Company's sales organization completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. In addition, the Company recorded charges of $4.0 million and $7.0 million during the three and six months ended December 30, 2000, respectively, for technology licensing. INTEREST INCOME, NET Interest income, net was $11.6 million and $26.6 million for the three and six months ended December 29, 2001, respectively, compared to $14.9 million and $28.3 million for the three and six months ended December 30, 2000, respectively. The decrease in interest income, net for the three and six months ended December 29, 2001 as compared to the three and six months ended December 30, 2000 is a result of decreased interest rates on invested amounts offset somewhat by higher levels of invested cash. INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000 was 33.0% and 33.7%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000 was 33.0% and 33.6%, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and tax exempt earnings of the Company's Foreign Sales Corporation. 14 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) OUTLOOK Second quarter bookings were approximately $230 million, a 9% increase over the first quarter's level of $211 million. Turns orders received during the quarter were $125 million, a 23% increase over the $102 million received in the prior quarter (turns orders are customer orders that are for delivery within the same quarter and may result in revenue within the same quarter if the Company has available inventory that matches those orders). Order cancellations were down 39% from the first quarter and down 81% from the year ago level. Bookings increased in all geographic regions except the U.S., where bookings decreased slightly compared to the prior quarter. Bookings increased in most of the Company's 14 business units, with particular strength in those business units with products for portable equipment. Bookings were down from the first quarter for those business units with products for the test equipment, fiber and telecommunication equipment markets. Second quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $187 million, including $170 million requested for shipment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The Company's first quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $196 million, including approximately $172 million requested for shipment in the second quarter of fiscal year 2002. The Company is confident that inventory levels for much of the end equipment that its products address are either significantly reduced or have moderated. The Company remains cautious about the short-term outlook for the telecom and ATE markets, where its customers are still working through inventories. Although the Company believes that its customers' visibility is better now than it has been in the past several quarters, turns orders remain high because of the Company's short lead times. As lead times increase, the Company expects customers to place orders beyond their immediate needs. The Company is encouraged by the continued increase in bookings during its second quarter. Although visibility remains limited, the Company currently expects bookings to increase again in the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. 15 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of funds for the six months ended December 29, 2001 were from net cash generated from operating activities of $223.8 million, $185.3 million of net investment activities, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $54.7 million associated with the Company's stock option programs. The principal uses of funds were the repurchase of $354.4 million of common stock and the purchase of $44.3 million in property, plant and equipment. The Company believes that it possesses sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund its property, plant and equipment purchases and operations for the next twelve months. The Company is subject to pending legal proceedings. For example, see Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding a pending patent litigation. Although the results of such legal proceedings are unpredictable, the Company does not believe that any pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on its liquidity or financial position. If, however, the court in the action brought by Linear Technology Corporation were to reverse its recent dismissal of the patent litigation claims brought by Linear Technology Corporation against the Company, and were Linear Technology Corporation to prevail in its claims against the Company, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected. In the past, it was the Company's policy to reduce the dilution effect from stock options by repurchasing its common stock from time to time in amounts based on estimates of proceeds from stock option exercises and of tax benefits related to such exercises. That stock repurchase policy was terminated in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. See Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding repurchases of common stock in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2002 and the subsequent termination of such repurchases. 16 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding or implicating the Company's expectations, intentions, plans, goals and hopes regarding the future. Forward-looking statements in this report, including this Management's Discussion and Analysis section, involve risk and uncertainty. Forward-looking statements include the Company's expectations regarding future bookings, the Company's assessment of its customers' ability to forecast their future business and their willingness or unwillingness to commit to inventories and longer term orders, the Company's assessment of the outlook for the telecom and ATE markets and the Company's assessment of the sufficiency of its capital resources and liquidity. Results could differ materially from those forecasted based upon, among other things, the Company incorrectly assessing customer end-user demand and willingness to commit to inventories and orders, and order cancellation levels. Given the Company's backlog of orders at the end of December 2001, the Company's ability to increase revenues in the current quarter will depend on the amount of turns orders that it can generate and on its ability to match orders with available inventory. In addition, future business could be adversely affected by technical difficulties in bringing new products and processes to market in a timely manner; market developments that could adversely affect the growth of the mixed-signal analog market such as further declines in customer forecasts or greater than expected cyclical downturns within the mixed-signal analog segment of the semiconductor market or possible effects of capacity constraints affecting other suppliers to equipment manufacturers; the Company being unable to sustain its successes in recruiting and retaining high-quality personnel; and the Company's successes in the markets its products are introduced in, as well as other risks described in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. Additional risk factors include whether, and the extent to which, demand for the Company's products increases and reflects real end-user demand; whether customer cancellations and delays of outstanding orders increase; whether the Company is able to manufacture in a correct mix to respond to orders on hand and new orders received in the future; whether the Company is able to achieve its new product development and introduction goals, including, without limitation, goals for recruiting, retaining, training, and motivating engineers, particularly design engineers, and goals for conceiving and introducing timely new products that are well received in the marketplace; whether the Company is able to effectively and successfully manage manufacturing operations during a period of diminished demand; and whether the Company is able to successfully commercialize its new technologies, such as its next-generation high-frequency technologies, that it has been investing in by designing and introducing new products based on these new technologies. In addition to the above, there are certain risks and uncertainties related to the Company's acquisition of Dallas Semiconductor (see Notes 2 and 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Although the process of integrating the personnel and operations of Dallas Semiconductor, with the goals of reducing cost and increasing efficiency and productivity, has been proceeding well in most regards, no assurance can be given that products, technologies, distribution channels, customer support operations, management information systems, key personnel and businesses of Dallas Semiconductor will be effectively assimilated into the Company's business or product offerings, or that such integration will be completed according to the Company's schedule, or that the results of the integration will be successful. 17 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D) Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted or implied in this report include overall worldwide economic conditions; demand for electronic products and semiconductors generally; demand for the end-user products for which the Company's semiconductors are suited; timely availability of raw materials, equipment, supplies and services; unanticipated manufacturing problems; technological and product development risks; competitors that may outperform the Company; and other risk factors described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in particular its report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001. All forward-looking statements included in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on the information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information relating to existing conditions, future events or otherwise. ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's market risk has not changed significantly from the risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On September 21, 2001, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order dismissing a patent litigation action by Linear Technology Corporation against the Company described in prior periodic reports to the SEC. The court found that the Company did not infringe any of the claims of the asserted patent. The suit had claimed that the Company infringed various "sleep mode" and "current reversal prevention" claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,481,178. These claims were directed to the operation of switching voltage regulators, parts commonly used in laptop computers, cellular telephones and other applications. The Company moved for summary judgment on a number of subjects, including noninfringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the patent. The court found that the Company's remaining summary judgment motions were rendered moot by its noninfringement ruling. Linear Technology Corporation has appealed the decision. While the Company continues to believe the claims are without merit, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of the appeal. 18 ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS The Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on November 15, 2001.
