Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires (1) interim and annual disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss, (2) interim disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually, and (3) disclosure of the position and title of the CODM and how the CODM uses segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. In the event the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing performance and allocation of resources, clarification of disclosure requirements is provided. Additionally, a company with a single reportable segment is required to provide all the disclosures prescribed under this ASU. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, requiring more consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the Commission") adopted final climate-related disclosure rules. The rules require disclosure of climate-related risks that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. The rules also require disclosure of climate-related risk management, governance, greenhouse gas emissions, climate-related targets, and severe weather events, if material. Subsequently, the Commission issued an order to stay the rules pending judicial review of challenges to the rule. The Commission has indicated that it will publish a new effective date for the rules, if ultimately implemented, at the conclusion of the stay. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the final rules on our disclosures.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s investments have been classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Marketable securities are categorized on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as "Marketable securities", within the short-term or long-term classification, as appropriate, based on the original maturity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has determined that the only material assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio.  The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The Company applies the following fair value

hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio consist of money market funds, debt securities, U.S Treasury securities, securities of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, and commercial paper and are reflected on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets under the headings cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and long-term marketable securities.  The Company determines the fair value of its marketable securities portfolio by obtaining non-binding market prices from third-party pricing providers on the last day of the quarter, whose sources may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value.

Revenues

Disaggregation of revenue

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by product line and ship to location of the customer. Sales are designated in the respective product line categories of Audio and High-Performance Mixed-Signal ("HPMS").

Segment Information

We determine our operating segments in accordance with FASB guidelines.  Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) has been identified as the chief operating decision maker under these guidelines. 

The Company operates and tracks its results in one reportable segment, but reports revenue in two product lines, Audio and HPMS.  Our CEO receives and uses enterprise-wide financial information to assess financial performance and allocate resources, rather than detailed information at a product line level.  Additionally, our product lines have similar characteristics and customers.  They share support functions such as sales, public relations, supply chain management, various research and development and engineering support, in addition to the general and administrative functions of human resources, legal, finance and information technology.  Therefore, there is no complete, discrete financial information maintained for these product lines. Revenue by product line is disclosed in Note 9 - Revenues.
