ry manufacturing processes, extensive library of qualified circuit-building block designs (known as IP titles or IP blocks), and advanced transistor and device technology allow us to serve a wide range of customers, including the global leaders in IC design. We focus on providing optimized solutions for critical applications that drive key secular growth end markets, ensuring function, performance, and power requirements are met. As the only scaled pure-play foundry (defined as a company specializing in producing ICs for other companies with annual foundry revenue exceeding $3 billion) with a global footprint that is not based in China or Taiwan, we offer our customers the advantage of mitigating geopolitical risk and ensuring greater supply chain certainty and security Since our founding in 2009, we have invested over $23 billion to create a global manufacturing footprint with state-of-the-art facilities across three continents. Our differentiated foundry solutions redefine the industry by offering essential chip solutions that empower our customers to develop innovative products for a wide range of applications in diverse markets and bring their products to market quickly and cost effectively.

We focus on essential devices that include digital, analog, mixed-signal, radio frequency (“RF”), ultra-low power and embedded memory solutions that connect, secure and process data, and efficiently power the digital world around us. To meet the needs of our customers, we devote our research and development ("R&D") efforts to a diversified range of differentiated technology platforms in these key categories: Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (“CMOS”) for both Feature-Rich and Ultra-Low Power, RF, Power and Silicon Photonics (“SiPh”). Specifically, within these categories, our key technology platforms include RF SOI, FDX TM , Fin Field-Effect Transistor (“FinFET”), Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (“BCD”), BCDLite, Silicon Germanium (“SiGe”) and Gallium Nitride (“GaN”) products.

The principal source of our revenue is wafer fabrication and sales of finished semiconductor wafers, which accounted for approximately 88% and 89% of our net revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The rest of our net revenue was mainly derived from photomask manufacturing, sourcing services and pre-fab manufacturing services.

Starting in 2023, our business has experienced an industry-wide cyclical downturn that led to weaker demand across several of the end markets within which we operate. Exacerbated by geopolitical conflicts and inflation, this prolonged semiconductor downturn impacted our revenue as customers adjusted their inventory levels to match
