**SUPER MICRO COMPUTER, INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

**Note 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates***

No material changes have been made to the significant accounting policies of Super Micro Computer, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Delaware, and its consolidated entities (together, the "Company"), disclosed in Part II, Item 8, Note 1, "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on August 29, 2022, for the year ended June 30, 2022. Management's estimates take into consideration, as applicable, general macroeconomic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates and geopolitical events.

***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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.

***Concentration of Supplier Risk***

Certain materials used by the Company in the manufacturing of its products are available from a limited number of suppliers. Shortages could occur in these materials due to an interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. Two suppliers accounted for 14.1% and 17.6% of total purchases for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and two suppliers accounted for 22.1% and 6.5% of total purchases for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Two suppliers accounted for 15.3% and 22.3% of total purchases for the six months ended December 31, 2022, and two suppliers accounted for 21.2% and 6.4% of total purchases for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Purchases from Ablecom, and Compuware, related parties of the Company (see Part I, Item 1, Note 8, "Related Party Transactions") accounted for a combined 6.7% and 9.4% of total cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and a combined 6.6% and 9.5% of total cost of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

***Concentration of Credit Risk***

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investment in an auction rate security and accounts receivable. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and one customer accounted for 15.8% of the net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2022. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the net sales for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021. No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2022. One customer accounted for 21.7% of the Company's accounts receivable, net as of June 30, 2022.

***Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted***

There were no new pronouncements recently adopted.

***Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted***

In March 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance also establishes (1) a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and (2) certain elective hedge accounting expedients. The amendments in this update do not apply to contract modifications made after December 31, 2022, new hedging relationships entered into after December 31, 2022, and existing hedging relationships evaluated for effectiveness in periods after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022 that apply certain optional expedients in which the accounting effects are recorded through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendment is effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued further guidance on this topic, which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. In December 2022, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) for the deferral of the sunset date of Topic 848 and amendments to the definition of secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"). The ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. The Company has loans and lines of credit with various financial institutions. Benchmark interest rates are used to calculate the interest on borrowings under the Chang Hwa Bank, CTBC, HSBC and Mega Bank Credit Facilities. LIBOR was used to calculate the interest on borrowings under the Company's 2018 Bank of America Credit Facility and E.SUN Credit Facility. The 2018 Bank of America Credit Facility was amended on June 28, 2021 to provide for a new maturity date of June 28, 2026 and fallback terms related to LIBOR replacement mechanics. On March 3, 2022, the 2018 Bank of America Credit Facility was amended to, among other items, increase the size of the facility from $200.0 million to $350.0 million and update provisions relating to payments and LIBOR replacement mechanics to SOFR. As these amendments had other contemporaneous changes to the facility, including the amount of borrowings permitted under the facility and not just directly related to LIBOR replacement, optional expedients under this guidance cannot be elected. The Company is currently evaluating the overall impact of the adoption of this guidance and does not expect it to have material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

**Note 2.** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Revenue**

*<u>Disaggregation of Revenue</u>*

The Company disaggregates revenue by type of product and by the geographical market in order to depict the nature, amount, and timing of revenue and cash flows. Service revenues, which are less than 10%, are not a significant component of total revenue, and are aggregated within the respective categories.

The following is a summary of net sales by product type (in thousands):

| Total | $1803195 | $1172419 | $3655325 | $2205149 |

---

*<u>Contract Balances</u>*

Generally, the payment terms of the Company's offerings range from 30 to 60 days. In certain instances, customers may prepay for products and services in advance of delivery. Receivables relate to the Company's unconditional right to consideration for performance obligations either partially or fully completed.

Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when such right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Such contract assets are insignificant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and relate to amounts invoiced to or advance consideration received from customers, which precede the Company's satisfaction of the associated performance obligations. The Company's deferred revenue primarily results from customer payments received upfront for extended warranties and on-site services because these performance obligations are satisfied over time. Additionally, at times, deferred revenue may fluctuate due to the timing of advance consideration received from non-cancellable non-refundable contract liabilities relating to the sale of future products. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, which was included in the deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2022, of $233.8 million, was $27.5 million and $61.0 million, respectively.

Deferred revenue increased $46.2 million as of December 31, 2022 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and was mainly due to the deferral on invoiced amounts for service contracts during the period exceeded the recognition of revenue from contracts entered into in prior periods. The service contracts deferral increase was offset partly by a $2.4 million decrease in non-cancellable non-refundable advance consideration or cash consideration received from customers which preceded the Company's satisfaction of the associated performance obligations relating to product sales expected to be fulfilled in the next 12 months.

*<u>Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations</u>*

Remaining performance obligations represent in aggregate the amount of transaction price that has been allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or only partially delivered, as of the end of the reporting period. The Company applies the exemption to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. These performance obligations generally consist of services, such as on-site services, including integration services and extended warranty services that are contracted for one year or less, and products for which control has not yet been transferred. The value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2022 was $280.0 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately 43% of remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

*<u>Capitalized Contract Acquisition Costs and Fulfillment Cost</u>* 

Contract acquisition costs are those incremental costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. Contract acquisition costs consist primarily of incentive bonuses. Contract acquisition costs are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract with a customer and are therefore capitalizable. The Company applies the practical expedient to expense incentive bonus costs as incurred if the amortization period would be one year or less, generally upon delivery of the associated server and storage systems or components. Where the amortization period of the contract cost would be more than a year, the Company applies judgment in the allocation of the incentive bonus cost asset between hardware and service performance obligations and expenses the cost allocated to the hardware performance obligations upon delivery of associated server and storage systems or components and amortizes the cost allocated to service performance obligations over the period the services are expected to be provided. Contract acquisition costs allocated to service performance obligations that are subject to capitalization are insignificant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract fulfillment costs consist of costs paid in advance for outsourced services provided by third parties to the extent they are not in the scope of other guidance. Fulfillment costs paid in advance for outsourced services provided by third parties are capitalized and amortized over the period the services are expected to be provided. Such fulfillment costs are insignificant to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share in the periods presented, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The anti-dilutive common share equivalents resulting from outstanding equity awards were 211,729 and 419,423 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 259,562 and 1,501,560 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

*<u>Performance Awards Liability</u>*

In March 2020, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved performance bonuses for the Chief Executive Officer, a senior executive and two members of the Board, which payments will be earned when specified market and performance conditions are achieved.

The Chief Executive Officer's total cash bonus opportunity was $8.1 million, divided into two equal tranches. Each tranche would be earned if the average closing price for the Company's common stock reached specified targets. The Board retained the flexibility to reduce the amount payable under the first tranche (but not the second tranche) based on performance goals. Both price targets were reached during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, and the second tranche totaled $4.0 million was paid in full. As of June 30, 2021, the Company also expected it would likely pay the first tranche in full, and therefore recorded an expense of $3.6 million since March 2020 relating to the first tranche.

In September 2021, after the Company had closed its books for the year ended June 30, 2021, the Board decided to exercise its discretion to reduce the amount to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer for the first tranche to $2.0 million, which was paid in the quarter ended December 31, 2021. As a result of the Board's decision to reduce the amount to be paid under the first tranche, the Company adjusted the $3.6 million expense previously recorded for the first tranche to the new amount of $2.0 million, which resulted in the Company recognizing a $1.6 million benefit from this adjustment during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This performance award to the Chief Executive Officer was concluded in the year ended June 30, 2022. As such, there is no further transaction thereafter. There was no benefit recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. The benefit recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 was none and $1.6 million, respectively.

**Note 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Disclosure**

The financial instruments of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are included in cash equivalents, other assets and accrued liabilities. The Company classifies its financial instruments, except for its investment in an auction rate security, within Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company uses quoted prices in active markets or alternative pricing sources and models using market observable inputs to determine their fair value.

The Company's investment in an auction rate security is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the determination of its fair value was not based on observable inputs as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. The Company is using the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of the auction rate security at each period end and the following assumptions: (i) the expected yield based on observable market rate of similar securities, (ii) the security coupon rate that is reset monthly, (iii) the estimated holding period and (iv) a liquidity discount. The liquidity discount assumption is based on the management estimate of lack of marketability discount of similar securities and is determined based on the analysis of financial market trends over time, recent redemptions of securities and other market activities.

The following table sets forth the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.

<u>E.SUN Bank</u>

*2022 E.SUN Bank Credit Facility*

On August 9, 2022 (the "New E.SUN Bank Effective Date"), the Company through Super Micro Computer Inc., Taiwan, a Taiwan corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Taiwan Subsidiary"), entered into a new General Credit Agreement with E.SUN Bank, which replaced the 2021 E.SUN Bank Credit Facility (the "New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility"). The New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to (i) NTD 1.8 billion ($61.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent) and (ii) US $30.0 million. Other terms of the New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility are substantially identical to the prior E.SUN Bank Credit Facility. Generally, interest for base rate loans made under the New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility are based upon an average interbank overnight call loan rate in the finance industry (such as TAIFX) plus a fixed margin, and is subject to occasional adjustment. The New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility has customary default provisions permitting E.SUN Bank to terminate or reduce the credit limit, shorten the credit period, or deem all liabilities due and payable, including in the event the Taiwan Subsidiary has an overdue liability at another financial organization. The Company is not a guarantor of the New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility.

Terms for specific drawdown instruments issued under the New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility, such as credit amount, term of use, mode of drawdown, specific lending rate, and other relevant terms, are to be set forth in Notifications and Confirmation of Credit Conditions (a "Notification and Confirmation") negotiated with E.SUN Bank. Under a Notification and Confirmation entered into on the New E.SUN Bank Effective Date, the Taiwan Subsidiary and E.SUN Bank have agreed to both a medium term credit loan of NTD 680.0 million ($23.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent) with a tenor of five years (the "Medium Term Loan") and a drawdown of US $30.0 million under the New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility for an import loan with a tenor of 120 days (the "Import O/A Loan"). With respect to the Medium Term Loan, the period of use is between April 28, 2022 and April 28, 2023. The interest rate thereunder is based upon a floating annual rate plus a fixed margin, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Interest payments are due on a monthly basis. Principal is amortized evenly on a monthly basis, with principal payments subject to a one year grace period prior to the commencement of repayment. The Medium Term Loan will be used by the Taiwan Subsidiary to support its manufacturing activities (such as purchase of materials and components) ("Use of Proceeds"). Drawdowns may be in amounts of up to 80% of permitted Use of Proceeds expenses. The Taiwan Subsidiary is subject to various financial covenants in connection with the Medium Term Loan, including a current ratio, net debt to equity ratio, and interest coverage ratio. The current Medium Term Loan and the prior medium term loan under the Prior E.SUN Bank Credit Facility shall not exceed in aggregate NTD 1.8 billion. With respect to the Import O/A Loan, the period of use is between April 28, 2022 and April 28, 2023.

**Note 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Related Party Transactions** 

The Company has a variety of business relationships with Ablecom and Compuware. Ablecom and Compuware are both Taiwan corporations. Ablecom is one of the Company's major contract manufacturers; Compuware is both a distributor of the Company's products and a contract manufacturer for the Company. Ablecom's Chief Executive Officer, Steve Liang, is the brother of Charles Liang, the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Steve Liang and his family members owned approximately 28.8% of Ablecom's stock and Charles Liang and his spouse, Sara Liu, who is also an officer and director of the Company, collectively owned approximately 10.5% of Ablecom's capital stock as of December 31, 2022. Bill Liang, a brother of both Charles Liang and Steve Liang, is a member of the Board of Directors of Ablecom. Bill Liang is also the Chief Executive Officer of Compuware, a member of Compuware's Board of Directors and a holder of a significant equity interest in Compuware. Steve Liang is also a member of Compuware's Board of Directors and is an equity holder of Compuware. Neither Charles Liang nor Sara Liu own any capital stock of Compuware and the Company does not own any of Ablecom or Compuware's capital stock.

*Dealings with Ablecom*

The Company has entered into a series of agreements with Ablecom, including multiple product development, production and service agreements, product manufacturing agreements, manufacturing services agreements and lease agreements for warehouse space.

Under these agreements, the Company outsources to Ablecom a portion of its design activities and a significant part of its server chassis manufacturing as well as an immaterial portion of other components. Ablecom manufactured approximately 95.5% and 88.3% of the chassis included in the products sold by the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 91.8% and 90.3% of the chassis included in the products sold by the Company during the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. With respect to design activities, Ablecom generally agrees to design certain agreed-upon products according to the Company's specifications, and further agrees to build the tools needed to manufacture the products. The Company pays Ablecom for the design and engineering services, and further agrees to pay Ablecom for the tooling. The Company retains full ownership of any intellectual property resulting from the design of these products and tooling.

With respect to the manufacturing aspects of the relationship, Ablecom purchases most of materials needed to manufacture the chassis from third parties and the Company provides certain components used in the manufacturing process (such as power supplies) to Ablecom through consignment or sales transactions. Ablecom uses these materials and components to manufacture the completed chassis and then sell them back to the Company. For the components purchased from the Company, Ablecom sells the components back to the Company at a price equal to the price at which the Company sold the components to Ablecom. The Company and Ablecom frequently review and negotiate the prices of the chassis the Company purchases from Ablecom. In addition to inventory purchases, the Company also incurs other costs associated with design services, tooling and other miscellaneous costs from Ablecom.

The Company's exposure to financial loss as a result of its involvement with Ablecom is limited to potential losses on its purchase orders in the event of an unforeseen decline in the market price and/or demand of the Company's products such that the Company incurs a loss on the sale or cannot sell the products. Outstanding cancellable and non-cancellable purchase orders from the Company to Ablecom on December 31, 2022 were $27.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively, and outstanding cancellable and non-cancellable purchase orders from the Company to Ablecom on June 30, 2022 were $39.5 million and $36.0 million, respectively, effectively representing the exposure to financial loss. The Company does not directly or indirectly guarantee any obligations of Ablecom, or any losses that the equity holders of Ablecom may suffer. Since Ablecom manufactures substantially all the chassis that the Company incorporates into its products, if Ablecom were to suddenly be unable to manufacture chassis for the Company, the Company's business could suffer if the Company is unable to quickly qualify substitute suppliers who can supply high-quality chassis to the Company in volume and at acceptable prices.

*Dealings with Compuware*

The Company has entered into a distribution agreement with Compuware, under which the Company appointed Compuware as a non-exclusive distributor of the Company's products in Taiwan, China and Australia. Compuware assumes the responsibility to install the Company's products at the site of the end customer, if required, and administers customer support in exchange for a discount from the Company's standard price for its purchases.

The Company also has entered into a series of agreements with Compuware, including multiple product development, production and service agreements, product manufacturing agreements, and lease agreements for office space.

Under these agreements, the Company outsources to Compuware a portion of its design activities and a significant part of its power supplies manufacturing as well as an immaterial portion of other components. With respect to design activities, Compuware generally agrees to design certain agreed-upon products according to the Company's specifications, and further agrees to build the tools needed to manufacture the products. The Company pays Compuware for the design and engineering services, and further agrees to pay Compuware for the tooling. The Company retains full ownership of any intellectual property resulting from the design of these products and tooling. With respect to the manufacturing aspects of the relationship, Compuware purchases most of materials needed to manufacture the power supplies from outside markets and uses these materials to manufacture the products and then sell those products to the Company. The Company and Compuware frequently review and negotiate the prices of the power supplies the Company purchases from Compuware.

Compuware also manufactures motherboards, backplanes and other components used on printed circuit boards for the Company. The Company sells to Compuware most of the components needed to manufacture the above products. Compuware uses the components to manufacture the products and then sells the products back to the Company at a purchase price equal to the price at which the Company sold the components to Compuware, plus a "manufacturing value added" fee and other miscellaneous material charges and costs including overhead and labor. The Company and Compuware frequently review and negotiate the amount of the "manufacturing value added" fee that will be included in the price of the products the Company purchases from Compuware. In addition to the inventory purchases, the Company also incurs costs associated with design services, tooling assets, and miscellaneous costs.

The Company's exposure to financial loss as a result of its involvement with Compuware is limited to potential losses on its purchase orders in the event of an unforeseen decline in the market price and/or demand of the Company's products such that the Company incurs a loss on the sale or cannot sell the products. Outstanding cancellable and non-cancellable purchase orders from the Company to Compuware on December 31, 2022 were $170.2 million and $70.1 million, respectively, and outstanding cancellable and non-cancellable purchase orders from the Company to Compuware on June 30, 2022 were $213.3 million and $44.3 million, respectively, effectively representing the exposure to financial loss. The Company does not directly or indirectly guarantee any obligations of Compuware, or any losses that the equity holders of Compuware may suffer.

*Dealings with Investment in a Corporate Venture* 

In October 2016, the Company entered into agreements pursuant to which the Company contributed certain technology rights in connection with an investment in a privately-held company (the "Corporate Venture") located in China to expand the Company's presence in China. The Corporate Venture is 30% owned by the Company and 70% owned by another company in China. The transaction was closed in the third fiscal quarter of 2017 and the investment is accounted for using the equity method. As such, the Corporate Venture is also a related party.

The Company recorded a deferred gain related to the contribution of certain technology rights. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had no unamortized deferred gain balance in accrued liabilities and none in other long-term liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company monitors the investment for events or circumstances indicative of potential impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values if it determines that an impairment charge is required. In June 2020, the third-party parent company that controls the Corporate Venture was placed on a U.S. government export control list, along with several of such third-party parent's related entities and a separate listing for one of its subsidiaries. The Corporate Venture is not itself a restricted party. The Company has concluded that the Corporate Venture is in compliance with the new restrictions. The Company does not believe that the equity investment carrying value is impacted as of December 31, 2022. No impairment charge was recorded for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

The Company sold products worth $6.0 million and $38.3 million to the Corporate Venture during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and sold products worth $17.3 million and $53.5 million to the Corporate Venture during the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company's share of intra-entity profits on the products that remained unsold by the Corporate Venture as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 have been eliminated and have reduced the carrying value of the Company's investment in the Corporate Venture. To the extent that the elimination of intra-entity profits reduces the investment balance below zero, such amounts are recorded within accrued liabilities. The Company had $5.0 million and $8.0 million due from the Corporate Venture in accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

***Equity Incentive Plan***

On June 5, 2020, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Original 2020 Plan"). The maximum number of shares available under the Original 2020 Plan is 5,000,000 plus 1,045,000 shares of common stock that remained available for future awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"), at the time of adoption of the Original 2020 Plan. No other awards can be granted under the 2016 Plan and 7,246,000 shares of common stock remain reserved for outstanding awards issued under the Original 2016 Plan at the time of adoption of the Original 2020 Plan. On May 18, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment and restatement of the Original 2020 Plan (as amended and restated, the "2020 Plan") which, among other things, increased the number of shares available for award under the 2020 Plan by an additional 2,000,000 shares.

Under the 2020 Plan, the Company can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents, and certain other awards, including those denominated or payable in, or otherwise based on, the Company's common stock. The exercise price per share for incentive stock options granted to employees owning shares representing more than 10% of the Company's outstanding voting stock at the time of grant cannot be less than 110% of the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date. Nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options granted to all other persons are granted at a price not less than 100% of the fair value. Options generally expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options and RSUs generally vest over four years; 25% at the end of one year and one sixteenth per quarter thereafter.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 2,711,240 authorized shares available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.

***Common Stock Repurchase***

On August 3, 2022, after the expiration of a prior share repurchase program on July 31, 2022, a duly authorized subcommittee of the Company's Board approved a new share repurchase program to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock for up to $200 million at prevailing prices in the open market. The share repurchase program is effective until January 31, 2024 or until the maximum amount of common stock is repurchased, whichever occurs first. No shares were repurchased under any share repurchase programs during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022.

***Determining Fair Value***

The Company's fair value of RSUs and PRSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-option-pricing model. This fair value is then amortized ratably over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The key inputs in using the Black-Scholes-option-pricing model were as follows:

Expected Term—The Company's expected term represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on the Company's historical experience.

Expected Volatility—Expected volatility is based on the Company's implied and historical volatility.

Expected Dividend—The Black-Scholes valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input and the Company has no plans to pay dividends.

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is based on the United States Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

As of December 31, 2022, $17.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.01 years and $78.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.63 years. Additionally, as described below, $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.50 years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

***Stock Option Activity***

In March 2021, the Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") approved the grant of a stock option award for 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company's CEO (the "2021 CEO Performance Stock Option"). The 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option has five vesting tranches with a vesting schedule based entirely on the attainment of operational milestones (performance conditions) and market conditions, assuming (1) continued employment either as the CEO or in such capacity as agreed upon between the Company's CEO and the Board and (2) service through each vesting date. Each of the five vesting tranches of the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option will vest upon certification by the Compensation Committee that both (i) the market price milestone for such tranche, which begins at $45.00 per share for the first tranche and increases up to $120.00 per share thereafter (based on a 60 trading day average stock price), has been achieved, and (ii) any one of five operational milestones focused on total revenue, as reported under U.S. GAAP, have been achieved for the previous four consecutive fiscal quarters. Upon vesting and exercise, including the payment of the exercise price of $45.00 per share, prior to March 2, 2024, the Company's CEO must hold shares that he acquires until March 2, 2024, other than those shares sold pursuant to a cashless exercise where shares are simultaneously sold to pay for the exercise price and any required tax withholding.

The achievement status of the operational and stock price milestones as of December 31, 2022 was as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Annualized Revenue Milestone (in billions) | Achievement Status | Stock Price Milestone | Achievement Status |
| $4.0 | Achieved | $45 | Achieved <sup>(1)</sup> |

| $5.8 | Achieved | $75 | Achieved <sup>(3)</sup> |
| $6.8 | Probable | $95 | Not yet achieved |
| $8.0 | Probable | $120 | Not yet achieved |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The vesting of the first tranche of 200,000 option shares under the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option, representing one-fifth of such award, was certified by the Company's Compensation Committee in August 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The vesting of the second tranche of 200,000 option shares under the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option representing one-fifth of such award was certified by the Company's Compensation Committee in October 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)The vesting of the third tranche of 200,000 option shares under the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option representing one-fifth of such award was certified by the Company's Compensation Committee on January 4, 2023.

On the grant date, a Monte Carlo simulation was used to determine for each tranche (i) a fixed expense amount for such tranche and (ii) the future time when the market price milestone for such tranche was expected to be achieved, or its "expected market price milestone achievement time." Separately, based on a subjective assessment of the Company's future financial performance, each quarter, the Company will determine whether achievement is probable for each operational milestone that has not previously been achieved or deemed probable of achievement, and, if so, the future time when the Company expects to achieve that operational milestone, or its "expected operational milestone achievement time." When the Company first determines that an operational milestone has become probable of being achieved, the Company will allocate the entire expense for the related tranche over the number of quarters between the grant date and the then-applicable "expected vesting time." The "expected vesting time" at any given time is the later of (i) the expected operational milestone achievement time (if the related operational milestone has not yet been achieved) and (ii) the expected market price milestone achievement time (if the related market price milestone has not yet been achieved). The Company will immediately recognize a catch-up expense for all accumulated expenses from the grant date through the quarter in which the operational milestone was first deemed probable of being achieved. Each quarter thereafter, the Company will recognize the prorated portion of the then-remaining expense for the tranche based on the number of quarters between such quarter and the then-applicable expected vesting time, except that upon vesting of a tranche, all remaining expenses for that tranche will be immediately recognized.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option of $1.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option of $2.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had $2.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2021 CEO Performance Stock Option. The unrecognized compensation cost as of December 31, 2022 is expected to be recognized over a period of more than 1.50 years.

**Note 10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $29.6 million and $68.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, and $7.6 million and $10.9 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was 14.3% and 15.9% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, and 15.4% and 14.1% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2022 is lower than that for the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in the tax deduction for stock compensation, and a tax reserve release in the three months ended December 31, 2022. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2022 is higher than that for the six months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the significant increase in taxable income in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2023, while the income tax deductions for items such as the R&D credit and foreign tax deduction in those quarters did not increase in the same proportion.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development ("R&D") expenses in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to capitalize R&D expenses, including software development cost, and subsequently amortize such expenses over five years for R&D activities conducted in the United States and over fifteen years for R&D activities conducted outside of the United States beginning in the Company's fiscal year 2023. Although Congress has considered legislation that would defer, modify, and repeal the capitalization and amortization requirement, there is no assurance the provision will be deferred, repealed, or otherwise modified.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $41.1 million, of which, $23.4 million if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, there was a $3.9 million decrease in gross unrecognized tax benefits. The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued $3.3 million of interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company believes that it has adequately provided reserves for all uncertain tax positions; however, amounts that may be asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than the Company's current position. Accordingly, the Company's provision for federal, state, and foreign tax related matters to be recorded in the future may change as revised estimates are made or as the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved.

The federal statute of limitations remains open in general for tax years ended June 30, 2019 through 2022. Various states statutes of limitations remain open in general for tax years ended June 30, 2018 through 2022. Certain statutes of limitations in major foreign jurisdictions remain open in general for the tax years ended June 30, 2017 through 2022. It is reasonably possible that the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $3.0 million, in the next 12 months, due to the lapse of the statute of limitations. These adjustments, if recognized, would positively impact the Company's effective tax rate, and would be recognized as additional tax benefits.

**Note 11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commitments and Contingencies**

***Litigation and Claims—*** On February 8, 2018, two putative class action complaints were filed against the Company, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and the Company's former Chief Financial Officer in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Hessefort v. Super Micro Computer, Inc., et al., No. 18-cv-00838 and United Union of Roofers v. Super Micro Computer, Inc., et al., No. 18-cv-00850). The complaints contain similar allegations, claiming that the defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act due to alleged misrepresentations and/or omissions in public statements regarding recognition of revenue. The court subsequently appointed New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund as lead plaintiff. The lead plaintiff then filed an amended complaint naming the Company's Senior Vice President of Investor Relations as an additional defendant. On June 21, 2019, the lead plaintiff filed a further amended complaint naming the Company's former Senior Vice President of International Sales, Corporate Secretary, and Director as an additional defendant. On July 26, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On March 23, 2020, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint, with leave for lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint within 30 days. On April 22, 2020, lead plaintiff filed a further amended complaint. On June 5, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the further amended complaint, the hearing for which was calendared for September 23, 2020; however, the Court held a conference on September 15 to discuss how the Court could efficiently address the recent SEC settlement agreement. The parties stipulated to allow plaintiffs to further amend the complaint solely to add allegations relating to the SEC settlement. On October 14, 2020, plaintiffs filed a Fourth Amended Complaint. On October 28, 2020, defendants filed a supplemental motion to dismiss. On March 29, 2021, the Court granted in part and denied in part defendants' motions to dismiss. Plaintiffs' claims under Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Exchange Act were dismissed with prejudice as against the Company's former head of Investor Relations, Perry Hayes. Plaintiffs' Section 10(b) claim, but not the Section 20 claim, was likewise dismissed as to Wally Liaw, a founder, former director, and former SVP of International Sales. The Court denied the motions to dismiss the Section 10(b) and Section 20 claims against the Company, Charles Liang, and Howard Hideshima, the Company's former CFO. On March 11, 2022, the Company, together with the individual defendants, agreed in principle with plaintiff's counsel to settle the action. On April 8, 2022, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement, pursuant to which and subject to Court approval, plaintiff will dismiss with prejudice and release on behalf of a class of shareholders all claims against defendants, including the Company, in exchange for payment of $18,250,000, of which sum $2,000,000 will be funded by the Company. On May 25, 2022, the Court vacated the hearing on preliminary approval of the proposed settlement scheduled for June 2, 2022, stating that the unopposed motion was suitable for disposition without oral argument. All settlement funds have been transferred into an account controlled by the settlement's escrow agent. No settlement funds will be distributed until the Court grants final approval. On November 8, 2022, the Court granted preliminary approval and calendared a hearing on March 2, 2023 for final approval. This settlement, if finally approved by the Court, will fully resolve the action.

***Other legal proceedings and indemnifications***

From time to time, the Company has been involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. The resolution of any such matters have not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity as of December 31, 2022 and any prior periods.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its current and former directors and executive officers.

Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities that arise by reason of their status as directors or officers and to advance expenses incurred by such individuals in connection with related legal proceedings. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each claim. However, the Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance coverage to reduce its exposure to such obligations.

***Purchase Commitments***— The Company has agreements to purchase inventory and non-inventory items primarily through the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2022, these remaining noncancelable commitments were $422.9 million, including $97.0 million for related parties.

***Lease Commitments*** - See Part I, Item 1, Note 7, "Leases," for a discussion of the Company's operating lease and financing lease commitments.

*This section and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including "would," "could," "may," "will," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," or "continue," the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risks discussed under "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of this filing. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.*

*The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 (the "2022 10-K"), which includes our condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.*

**Overview**

We are a Silicon Valley-based provider of accelerated compute platforms that are application-optimized high performance and high-efficiency server and storage systems for a variety of markets, including enterprise data centers, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, 5G and edge computing. Our Total IT Solutions include complete servers, storage systems, modular blade servers, blades, workstations, full rack scale solutions, networking devices, server sub-systems, server management and security software. We also provide global support and services to help our customers install, upgrade and maintain their computing infrastructure.

We commenced operations in 1993 and have been profitable every year since inception. Our net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased to $176.2 million from $41.9 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. In order to increase our sales and profits, we believe that we must continue to develop flexible and application optimized server and storage solutions and be among the first to market with new features and products. We also believe that we must continue to expand our software and customer service and support offerings, particularly as we increasingly focus on AI/ML applications and larger enterprise customers. Additionally, we intend to focus on development of our sales partners and distribution channels to further expand our market share. We measure our financial success based on various indicators, including growth in net sales, gross profit margin and operating margin. Among the key non-financial indicators of our success is our ability to rapidly introduce new products and deliver the latest application-optimized server and storage solutions. In this regard, we work closely with microprocessor, GPU and other key component vendors to take advantage of new technologies as they are introduced. Historically, our ability to introduce new products rapidly has allowed us to benefit from technology transitions such as the introduction of new microprocessor, GPU, memory and storage technologies, and as a result, we monitor the introduction cycles of NVIDIA Corporation, Intel Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Samsung Electronics Company Limited, Micron Technology, Inc. and others closely and carefully. This also impacts our research and development expenditures as we continue to invest more in our current and future product development efforts.

*Financial Highlights*

The following is a summary of our financial highlights of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net sales increased by 53.8% in the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross margin increased to 18.7% in the three months ended December 31, 2022 from 14.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating expenses increased by 8.5% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 and were equal to 6.7% and 9.6% of net sales in the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Effective tax rate decreased to 14.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2022 from 15.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2021.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, and base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the judgments we make about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because these estimates can vary depending on the situation, actual results may differ from these estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and statement of cash flows.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in our 2022 10-K. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Part I, Item 1, Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report.

**Net Sales**

Net sales consist of sales of our server and storage solutions, including systems and related services and subsystems and accessories. The main factors that impact net sales of our server and storage systems are the number of systems and compute nodes sold and the average selling prices per system and node. The number of nodes and systems shipped will vary each quarter depending on our customers specific server application or workload. The main factors that impact net sales of our subsystems and accessories are units shipped and the average selling price per unit. The prices for our server and storage systems range widely depending upon the configuration, including the number of compute nodes in a server system as well as the level of integration of key components such as GPUs, SSDs and memory. The prices for our subsystems and accessories can also vary widely based on whether a customer is purchasing power supplies, server boards, chassis or other accessories.

A compute node is an independent hardware configuration within a server system capable of having its own CPU, memory and storage and that is capable of running its own instance of a non-virtualized operating system. The number of compute nodes sold, which can vary by product, is an important metric we use to track our business. As with most electronics-based product life cycles, average selling prices typically are highest at the time of introduction of new products that utilize the latest technology and tend to decrease over time as such products mature in the market and are replaced by next generation products. Additionally, in order to remain competitive throughout all industry cycles, we actively change our selling price per unit in response to changes in costs for key components such as CPU/GPU, memory and storage.

**Cost of Sales and Gross Margin**

Cost of sales primarily consists of the costs to manufacture our products, including the costs of materials, contract manufacturing, shipping, personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and incentive bonuses, equipment and facility expenses, warranty costs and inventory excess and obsolescence provisions. The primary factors that impact our cost of sales are the mix of products sold and cost of materials, which include purchased parts and material costs, shipping costs, salary and benefits and overhead costs related to production as well as efficiencies or leverage gained from higher production volume in our facilities. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales may increase or decrease over time if the changes in average selling prices are not matched by corresponding changes in our costs. Our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is also impacted by the extent to which we are able to efficiently utilize our expanding manufacturing capacity. Because we generally do not have long-term fixed supply agreements, our cost of sales is subject to change based on the cost of materials and market conditions.

We use several suppliers and contract manufacturers to design and manufacture subsystems in accordance with our specifications, with most final assembly and testing performed at our manufacturing facilities in the same region where our products are sold. We work with Ablecom, one of our key contract manufacturers and also a related party to optimize modular designs for our chassis and certain of other components. We also outsource to Compuware, also a related party, a portion of our design activities and a significant part of the manufacturing of components, particularly power supplies.

Cost of sales and gross margin for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows (dollars in millions):

**Operating Expenses** 

Research and development expenses consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and incentive bonuses, and related expenses for our research and development personnel, as well as product development costs such as materials and supplies, consulting services, third-party testing services and equipment and facility expenses related to our research and development activities. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We occasionally receive non-recurring engineering funding from certain suppliers and customers for joint development. Under these arrangements, we are reimbursed for certain research and development costs that we incur as part of the joint development efforts with our suppliers and customers. These amounts offset a portion of the related research and development expenses and have the effect of reducing our reported research and development expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and incentive bonuses, and related expenses for our sales and marketing personnel, cost for tradeshows, independent sales representative fees and marketing programs. From time to time, we receive marketing development funding from certain suppliers. Under these arrangements, we are reimbursed for certain marketing costs that we incur as part of the joint promotion of our products and those of our suppliers. These amounts offset a portion of the related expenses and have the effect of reducing our reported sales and marketing expenses. The timing, magnitude and estimated usage of these programs can result in significant variations in reported sales and marketing expenses from period to period. Spending on cooperative marketing, reimbursed by our suppliers, typically increases in connection with new product releases by our suppliers.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of general corporate costs, including personnel expenses such as salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and incentive bonuses, and related expenses for our general and administrative personnel, financial reporting, information technology, corporate governance and compliance, outside legal, audit, tax fees, insurance and bad debt reserves on accounts receivable.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We have financed our growth primarily with funds generated from increased profits from operations, in addition to utilizing borrowing facilities. We draw on our credit facilities to fund working capital requirements due to the higher level of inventories and accounts receivable based on increasing sales as well as financing the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. We also received funds from the exercise of employee stock options. Our cash and cash equivalents were $304.6 million and $267.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Our cash in foreign locations was $168.5 million and $169.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Amounts held outside of the U.S. are generally utilized to support non-U.S. liquidity needs. Repatriations generally will not be taxable from a U.S. federal tax perspective but may be subject to state income or foreign withholding tax. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is to keep cash balances outside of the U.S. and to meet liquidity needs through operating cash flows, external borrowings, or both. We do not expect restrictions or potential taxes incurred on repatriation of amounts held outside of the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, borrowing capacity available from our credit facilities and internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to support our operating businesses and maturing debt and interest payments for the 12 months following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. In August 2022, we entered into a new general credit agreement with E.SUN Bank. This New E.SUN Bank Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to (i) NTD 1.8 billion ($61.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent) and (ii) US$30.0 million in loans that will support the growth of our Taiwan business.

On August 3, 2022, after the expiration of a prior share repurchase program on July 31, 2022, a duly authorized subcommittee of our Board approved a new share repurchase program to repurchase shares of our common stock for up to $200 million at prevailing prices in the open market. The share repurchase program is effective until January 31, 2024 or until the maximum amount of common stock is repurchased, whichever occurs first.

The increase was primarily due to an increase of $369.2 million of various non-cash items, including the collection of accounts receivables from the higher sales as well lower levels of inventory needed from an improved supply chain in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and an increase in net income of $293.2 million.

*<u>Investing Activities</u>*

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $3.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to decrease in purchases of property, plant and equipment in the six months ended December 31, 2022.

*<u>Financing Activities</u>*

Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was $415.8 million while net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $227.2 million. The change in cash flows from financing activities of $643.0 million was primarily due to a decrease of $443.7 million in proceeds from borrowings and an increase of $197.4 million in repayment of debt.

*<u>Other Factors Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>*

Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 6, "Short-term and Long-term Debt," in our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our outstanding debt.

*<u>Capital Expenditure Requirements</u>*

We anticipate our capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2023 will be approximately $33 million, relating primarily to costs associated with our manufacturing capabilities, including tooling for new products, new information technology investments, and facilities upgrades. We are evaluating an expansion of our manufacturing into Malaysia, and during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 entered into a letter of understanding to acquire land in Malaysia. A definitive agreement to acquire such land, subject to various conditions, was subsequently executed in January 2023. In the event we acquire such land, we anticipate additional future capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2023 of approximately $14 million for such initiative. In addition, we will continue to evaluate new business opportunities and new markets. As a result, our future growth within the existing business or new opportunities and markets may dictate the need for additional facilities and capital expenditures to support that growth. We evaluate capital expenditure projects based on a variety of factors, including expected strategic impacts (such as forecasted impact on revenue growth, productivity, expenses, service levels and customer retention) and our expected return on investment.

We intend to continue to focus our capital expenditures in fiscal year 2023 to support the growth of our operations. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced software and services offerings and investments in our office facilities and our IT system infrastructure.

**Item 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk***

**Interest Rate Risk**

The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income without significantly increasing the risk. Some of the securities we invest in are subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in money market funds and certificates of deposit, all of which are held for purposes other than trading. Our investment in an auction rate security has been classified as non-current due to the lack of a liquid market for these securities. Since our results of operations are not dependent on investments, the risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio, and we believe that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on our results of operations. As of December 31, 2022, our investments were in money market funds, certificates of deposits and auction rate securities.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our borrowings under our term loans and revolving lines of credit. The interest rates for the term loans and the revolving lines of credit ranged from 1.075% to 5.88% at December 31, 2022 and 0.825% to 4.004% at June 30, 2022. Based on the outstanding principal indebtedness of $170.1 million under our credit facilities as of December 31, 2022, we believe that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on our results of operations.

**Foreign Currency Risk**

To date, our international customer and supplier agreements have been denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and accordingly, we have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from customer agreements, and do not currently engage in foreign currency hedging transactions. The functional currency of our subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Taiwan is the U.S. dollar. However, certain loans and transactions in these entities are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, and thus we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations associated with re-measurement to U.S. dollars. Such fluctuations have not been significant historically. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange loss for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $6.9 million and realized and unrealized gain for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was $0.9 million. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange loss for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 was $0.7 million.

**Item 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Controls and Procedures***

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of December 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2022.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

Under applicable SEC rules (Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d)), management is required to evaluate, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, any changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during each fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

***Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls***

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances that its objectives will be met. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but we cannot assure that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
