Filing text · FY2026 10-Q · filed Apr 30, 2026

Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income, the amount of our pre-tax income as business activities fluctuate, non-deductible expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, R&D credits as a percentage of aggregate pre-tax income, non-taxable or non-deductible increases or decreases in the assets held within our Executive Deferred Savings Plan, the tax effects of employee stock activity and the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies. We also continue to monitor the adoption of Pillar Two relating to the global minimum tax in each of our tax jurisdictions to evaluate its impact on our effective income tax rate. For some of the [added] jurisdictions that have adopted Pillar Two in their tax legislation, it was effective for us beginning in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

01RemovedPart I, Item 2 › Working Capital

Summary · quote-checked

Removed the statement that operating cash, liquidity sources and the $1.50 billion Revolving Credit Facility would cover obligations for at least the next 12 months.

The removed paragraph disclosed liquidity sufficiency, named funding sources and covered contractual obligations, so its removal changes the company’s liquidity disclosure.

Why the model ranked it here

This removes the company’s explicit statement that available operating cash and committed credit capacity would cover liquidity needs and contractual obligations.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

Working capital was $6.04 billion as of March 31, 2025, which represents an increase of $664.7 million compared to our working capital of $5.37 billion as of June 30, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $4.03 billion of cash, cash equivalents and, marketable securities, as well as $1.50 billion availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our liquidity may be affected by many factors, some of which are based on the normal ongoing operations of the business, spending for business acquisitions, and other factors such as uncertainty in the global and regional economies and the semiconductor, semiconductor-related and electronic device industries. Although cash requirements will fluctuate based on the [removed] timing and extent of these factors, we believe that cash generated from operations, together with the liquidity provided by existing cash and cash equivalents balances, marketable securities and our $1.50 billion Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements associated with working capital needs, capital expenditures, cash dividends, stock repurchases and other contractual obligations, including repayment of outstanding debt, for at least the next 12 months.

02RemovedPart I, Item 2 › EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Summary · quote-checked

A paragraph describing potential export-license failures, operational disruption, customer-support impacts, RPO reduction, and customer-deposit returns was removed.

The removed paragraph disclosed substantive regulatory, supply-chain, customer-support, revenue-obligation, and refund risks; its removal changes the filing’s stated exposure.

Why the model ranked it here

This removes disclosure that export-license failures could disrupt shipments, customer support, revenue obligations and customer deposits.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

[removed] The possible negative effects on our future business of export licenses not being granted could be material and could disrupt our supply chain and product shipment, and impair our ability to complete product development in a timely manner, or our ability to support existing customers of covered products or supply customers of covered products outside the impacted regions, and may require us to transition certain operations out of one or more of the identified countries. Failure to obtain export licenses could also result in a substantial reduction to our RPO or require us to return substantial deposits received from customers in China for purchase orders.

03RemovedPart I, Item 2 › Impairment of Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

Summary · quote-checked

The current report omits disclosure of fiscal 2025 impairment tests and the resulting $239.1 million charge.

The removed paragraph disclosed a deterioration in the PCB business, triggering events, impairment testing, and a significant goodwill and purchased intangible assets charge.

Why the model ranked it here

This removes disclosure linking deterioration in the PCB business to impairment testing and a substantial recognized charge.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

[removed] During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we noted a continued deterioration of the long-term forecast for our PCB business, which is part of our PCB and Component Inspection reportable segment, and completed an internal reorganization affecting the composition of reporting units within our Specialty Semiconductor Process and PCB and Component Inspection reportable segments. These two events triggered goodwill and purchased intangible assets impairment tests, which resulted in a $239.1 million goodwill and purchased intangible assets impairment charge in the PCB and Component Inspection reportable segment.

04RemovedPart I, Item 2 › EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Summary · quote-checked

Removed disclosure of expanded export restrictions, compliance measures, licensing efforts, and uncertainty over obtaining licenses for China-related shipments and services.

The deleted paragraph described regulatory restrictions, export-license dependency, potential customer disruption, and uncertainty over approvals; removing it changes disclosed obligations and risks.

Why the model ranked it here

This removes disclosure of expanding export restrictions, licensing uncertainty and constraints on China-related shipments and services.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

[removed] Furthermore, in December 2024 and January 2025, the U.S. government again issued incremental regulations (the "2024 BIS Rules" and the "2025 BIS Rules," respectively) adding even more companies to the U.S. Entity List and revising the definition of advanced DRAM, further restricting our ability to provide certain items and services to facilities in China producing advanced DRAM ICs. We are taking appropriate measures to comply with all BIS Rules, and will continue to apply for export licenses, when required, to avoid disruption to our customers' operations. To the extent that we or our customers are able to obtain export licenses in the future, we will increase remaining performance obligations ("RPO") for the products we can ship to the customers or services we can provide the customers under the export license. There can be no assurance that export licenses applied for by either us or our customers, now or in the future, will be granted.

05RemovedPart I, Item 2 › Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

Summary · quote-checked

Removed disclosure of foreign-held cash, indefinite reinvestment, potential repatriation taxes, and accrued taxes on remaining funds.

The removed paragraph described cash location, repatriation-related tax obligations, and the availability of funds without additional U.S. tax expense, changing liquidity and tax disclosure.

Why the model ranked it here

This removes information about foreign-held liquidity, potential repatriation taxes and the availability of those funds without additional domestic tax expense.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

[removed] As of March 31, 2025, $999.3 million of our $4.03 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were held by our foreign subsidiaries and branch offices. We currently intend to indefinitely reinvest $65.9 million of the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our foreign subsidiaries for which we assert that earnings are permanently reinvested. If, however, a portion of these funds were to be repatriated to the United States, we would be required to accrue and pay state and foreign taxes of approximately 1% - 22% of the funds repatriated. The amount of taxes due will depend on the amount and manner of the repatriation, as well as the location from which the funds are repatriated. We have accrued state and foreign tax on the remaining cash of $933.4 million of the $999.3 million held by our foreign subsidiaries and branch offices. As such, these funds can be returned to the U.S. without accruing any additional U.S. tax expense.

01ChangedPart I, Item 2 › Working Capital

Summary · quote-checked

The paragraph adds an explicit assessment that operating cash flow and existing liquidity will satisfy obligations for at least the next 12 months.

This adds a substantive liquidity outlook and coverage statement, beyond routine fiscal-year and amount updates; therefore the change affects what the filing asserts about liquidity.

Why the model ranked it here

The filing newly states that operating cash flow and available liquidity will cover working capital, investment, distributions, repurchases, and contractual obligations.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

02ChangedPart I, Item 2 › Revolving Credit Facility

Summary · quote-checked

The facility maturity was extended, expansion capacity increased, and covenant measurement and maximum leverage terms changed.

Although reporting dates rolled forward, the maturity, incremental borrowing capacity, leverage metric, and covenant threshold substantively change financing terms and obligations.

Why the model ranked it here

The revolving facility now has different maturity, expansion capacity, leverage measurement, and covenant terms that change the company’s financing flexibility and obligations.

03ChangedPart I, Item 2 › Senior Notes

Summary · quote-checked

The disclosure adds Senior Notes due dates and removes the statement that $750.0 million of notes were repaid in November 2024.

The paragraph changes substantive debt information by adding maturity timing and removing a repayment event, potentially altering readers’ understanding of debt obligations.

Why the model ranked it here

The debt disclosure now emphasizes outstanding senior-note maturities while removing a previously disclosed repayment, changing the reader’s view of debt obligations.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

04ChangedPart I, Item 2 › Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Summary · quote-checked

Investing cash flow changed from net provided to net used, with new periods, amounts, and substantially different stated drivers.

The MD&A direction reverses from cash provided to cash used, and the reported causes change from security sales and acquisitions to security purchases, capital expenditures, and government assistance.

Why the model ranked it here

Investing cash flow changed from providing cash to using cash, driven by security purchases and capital expenditures rather than prior-period asset sales and acquisition effects.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

Net cash [removed] provided by (used in) investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, [removed] 2025 was $122.9 million compared to [removed] $(1.34) billion during the nine months ended March 31, [removed] 2024. This increase in cash [removed] provided resulted from an increase in net [removed] proceeds from sale of available-for-sale securities of [removed] $1.48 billion, a decrease in cash used in business acquisitions of $3.7 million and an increase in net proceeds from sales of trading securities of $1.2 million, partially offset by [removed] an increase in capital expenditures of $18.2 million, a decrease in proceeds from [removed] sale of assets of $4.9 million and $2.9 million of cash used for intellectual property acquisitions.

Filing text · FY2026 10-Q · filed Apr 30, 2026

Net cash [added] used in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, [added] 2026 was $1.02 billion compared to [added] $122.9 million of net cash provided during the nine months ended March 31, [added] 2025. This increase in cash [added] used was primarily due to increases in net [added] purchases of available-for-sale securities of [added] $1.11 billion, and capital expenditures of $51.8 million, partially offset by [added] a $16.5 million increase in proceeds from [added] capital-related government assistance.

05ChangedPart I, Item 2 › EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Summary · quote-checked

The executive summary removes semiconductor-demand drivers and adds realized geopolitical impacts, improved results, and an outlook for revenue growth and DRAM-related margin pressure.

The disclosure changes substantively by replacing industry and customer-demand discussion with realized adverse impacts, reported improvement, and specific forward-looking revenue and gross-margin expectations.

Why the model ranked it here

The executive summary newly identifies geopolitical factors and tariffs as having adversely affected results, replacing a primarily constructive industry-demand narrative.

Filing text · FY2025 10-Q · filed May 1, 2025

[removed] Recently, the semiconductor industry environment has improved as the emergence of disruptive technologies such as [removed] AI and continuing advancement of innovation, as well as rising semiconductor content across end-markets and strategic investments in legacy nodes fuel growth. Our customers' investments in AI as well as High-performance computing ("HPC") continue to drive demand for our advanced packaging portfolio, which contributes to our success in market diversification. Our foundry/logic customers are slowly increasing their capital intensity, as they maintain a robust design environment and continue to scale as well as incorporate new technologies and larger die sizes. Additionally, technology development investments supporting AI and high bandwidth memory are improving the environment for memory device manufacturers. While we continue to invest in technological innovation, factors such as delays from customers in adopting new chips and technology methods, could impact process control capital intensity. Push out or cancellation of deliveries to our customers could still cause earnings volatility, due to the timing of revenue recognition as well as increased risk of inventory-related charges.

Filing text · FY2026 10-Q · filed Apr 30, 2026

[added] While we continue to invest in technological innovation, factors such as [added] delays from customers in adopting new chips and technology methods could impact process control capital intensity. Pushouts or cancellations of deliveries to our customers could cause earnings volatility, due to the timing of revenue recognition as well as increased risk of inventory-related charges. Geopolitical factors, such as government regulations and tariffs, have had an adverse impact on our results of operations. However, despite these headwinds, our total revenues and net income improved in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Looking ahead, while we expect continued revenue growth in calendar year 2026, escalating costs for DRAM chips used in the Company's image computers will continue to negatively impact our gross margin, though we expect this impact to be transitory.
