2013 Annual Report

Dear Shareholder,

In 2013, ADI delivered solid profitability and shareholder 
returns despite the uncertain macroeconomic environ-
ment that transpired. While fiscal year 2013 revenue of 
$2.6 billion was 2% below the prior year, net income 
increased by 3% and sales in the second half were 6% 
higher than the first half, which we believe are positive 
signs for the year ahead. 

Net income for fiscal year 2013 totaled $673 million. 
Diluted earnings per share were $2.14, rising slightly 
from 2012. Cash flow from operations was $912 million, 
or 35% of revenue; and over $460 million was returned 
to shareholders, primarily through cash dividends. ADI 
shareholders earned $1.32 per share in dividends, a 15% 
increase over the prior year, and the total shareholder 
return was 28%.

Percentages are year-over-year growth.

As always, we were guided in 2013 by our long-term strategy to drive superior results through superior innovation. During the 
year, we sharpened our focus on developing the signal processing systems most critical to our customers, with the highest 
potential to sustain the returns we expect of our investments. As such, we increased investments in industrial, communications 
infrastructure, and automotive applications, which together accounted for 85% of our revenue in fiscal year 2013. We also 
increased investments in the advanced technologies that we believe will secure ADI’s leadership position far into the future. 
These increases were primarily achieved by redirecting resources, enabling us to keep expenses under tight control in the 
uncertain economic climate.

Few worked harder than the late Jerry Fishman to nurture the culture of innovation that Ray Stata founded at ADI. Jerry led 
ADI as CEO from 1996 to 2013, was an employee since 1974, and was my mentor and friend for many years. I know that 
long into the future I will continue to draw deeply on the learning that he imparted to me as I challenge our people to reach 
ever increasing levels of performance. 

This year we made steady progress executing against our long-term plan to grow sales, earn extraordinary profits, and 
use our cash generation to increase shareholder returns. Tremendous opportunities lie ahead for our great company. 
ADI provides an essential technology portfolio that enables pervasive sensing, automation, and communication across 
myriad applications that can improve how businesses operate and people live. Our brand is stronger than ever and our

BUSINESS

Company Overview

PART I

We are a world leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of a broad portfolio of high-performance analog, mixed-

signal and digital signal processing integrated circuits (ICs) used in virtually all types of electronic equipment. Since our 
inception in 1965, we have focused on solving the engineering challenges associated with signal processing in electronic 
equipment. Our signal processing products play a fundamental role in converting, conditioning, and processing real-world 
phenomena such as temperature, pressure, sound, light, speed and motion into electrical signals to be used in a wide array of 
electronic devices. As new generations of digital applications evolve, new needs for high-performance analog signal processing 
and digital signal processing (DSP) technology are generated. As a result, we produce a wide range of innovative products — 
including data converters, amplifiers and linear products, radio frequency (RF) ICs, power management products, sensors based 
on micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) technology and other sensors, and processing products, including DSP and other 
processors — that are designed to meet the needs of a broad base of customers. 

We focus on key strategic markets where our signal processing technology is often a critical differentiator in our

Industry Background

Semiconductor components are the electronic building blocks used in electronic systems and equipment. These 

components are classified as either discrete devices, such as individual transistors, or ICs, in which a number of transistors and 
other elements are combined to form a more complicated electronic circuit. ICs may be divided into two general categories, 
digital and analog. Digital circuits, such as memory devices and microprocessors, generally process on-off electrical signals, 
represented by binary digits, “1” and “0”. In contrast, analog ICs monitor, condition, amplify or transform continuous analog 
signals associated with physical properties, such as temperature, pressure, weight, light, sound or motion, and play an important 
role in bridging between real world phenomena and a variety of electronic systems. Analog ICs also provide voltage regulation 
and power control to electronic systems.

Organizational Structure

The organization is viewed based upon the products manufactured and the end markets served. The product group is 
focused on core technology development and leadership in converters, amplifiers and RF, MEMS, power management, and 
DSP. The end market-focused organization is dedicated to understanding, selecting, and resourcing initiatives that are more 
customized to a particular market or application. The focus of this team is to apply the full expanse of our broad technology 
portfolio to more integrated and targeted product strategies for the industrial, automotive, consumer, and communications 
markets. The end market group includes our sales organization. 

These two groups collaborate at all levels. Our product group develops key technology for use by the end market groups, 

which apply these technologies to specific applications. Equally important, the applications expertise within each end market 
group is used to enhance and direct core technology development by our product group. 

Principal Products

We design, manufacture and market a broad line of high-performance ICs that incorporate analog, mixed-signal and 

digital signal processing technologies. Our ICs are designed to address a wide range of real-world signal processing 
applications. Our product portfolio includes both general-purpose products used by a broad range of customers and 
applications, as well as application-specific products designed for specific clusters of customers in key target markets. By using 
readily available, high-performance, general-purpose products in their systems, our customers can reduce the time they need to 
bring new products to market. Given the high cost of developing more customized ICs, our standard products often provide a 
cost-effective solution for many low to medium volume applications. However, for some industrial, automotive, consumer, and 
communications products, we focus on working with leading customers to design application-specific solutions. We begin with 
our existing core technologies in data conversion, amplification, RF, MEMS, power management and DSP, and devise a 
solution to more closely meet the needs of a specific customer or group of customers. Because we have already developed the 
core technology for our general-purpose products, we can create application-specific solutions quickly. 

We produce and market several thousand products and operate in one reportable segment based on the aggregation of 
five operating segments. Our ten highest revenue products, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 9% of our revenue 
for fiscal 2013. A breakdown of our fiscal 2013 revenue by product category follows.

Our analog and mixed signal IC technology has been the foundation of our business for over four decades, and we are 

one of the world’s largest suppliers of high-performance analog ICs. Our analog signal processing ICs are primarily high-
performance devices, offering higher dynamic range, greater bandwidth, and other enhanced features. The principal advantages 
these products have as compared to competitors’ products include higher accuracy, higher speed, lower cost per function, 
smaller size, lower power consumption and fewer components, resulting in improved performance and reliability. Our product 
portfolio includes several thousand analog ICs, any one of which can have as many as several hundred customers. Our analog 
ICs typically have long product life cycles. Our analog IC customers include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and 
customers who build electronic subsystems for integration into larger systems. 

Converters — We are a leading supplier of data converter products. Data converters translate real-world analog signals 

into digital data and also translate digital data into analog signals. Data converters remain our largest and most diverse product 
family and an area where we are continuously innovating to enable our customers to redefine and differentiate their products. 
Our converter products combine sampling rates and accuracy with the low noise, power, price and small package size required 
by industrial, automotive, consumer, and communications electronics. 

Amplifiers/Radio Frequency — We are also a leading supplier of high-performance amplifiers. Amplifiers are used to 

condition analog signals. High performance amplifiers emphasize the performance dimensions of speed and precision. Within 
this product portfolio we provide precision, instrumentation, high speed, intermediate frequency/RF, broadband, and other 
amplifiers. We also offer an extensive portfolio of precision voltage references that are used in a wide variety of applications.
Our analog product line also includes a broad portfolio of high performance RF ICs covering the entire RF signal chain, from 
industry-leading stand-alone RF function blocks such as phase locked loops, frequency synthesizers, mixers, modulators, 

3

demodulators, and power detectors, to highly integrated broadband and short-range single chip transceiver solutions. Our high 
performance RF ICs support the high performance requirements of cellular infrastructure and a broad range of applications in 
our target markets. 

Other Analog — Also within our analog technology portfolio are products that are based on MEMS technology. This 

technology enables us to build extremely small sensors that incorporate an electromechanical structure and the supporting 
analog circuitry for conditioning signals obtained from the sensing element. Our MEMS product portfolio includes 
accelerometers used to sense acceleration, gyroscopes used to sense rotation and inertial measurement units used to sense 
multiple degrees of freedom combining multiple sensing types along multiple axes. The majority of our current revenue from 
MEMS products is derived from the automotive end market. The consumer and, to a lesser extent, the industrial end markets, 
accounted for the balance of revenue from MEMS products in fiscal year 2013. In addition to our MEMS products, our other 
analog product category includes isolators that enable designers to implement isolation in designs without the cost, size, power, 
performance, and reliability constraints found with optocouplers. Our isolators have been designed into hundreds of 
applications, such as universal serial bus isolation in patient monitors, where it allows hospitals and physicians to adopt the
latest advances in computer technology to supervise patient health and wirelessly transmit medical records. In smart metering 
applications, our isolators provide reliable electrostatic discharge performance that helps reduce meter tampering. Likewise, in
satellites, where any malfunction can be catastrophic, our isolators help protect the power system while enabling designers to 
achieve small form factors. 

Power Management & Reference — Power management & reference products make up the balance of our analog sales. 

Those products, which include functions such as power conversion, driver monitoring, sequencing and energy management, are 
developed to complement analog signal chain components across core market segments from micro power, energy-sensitive 
battery applications to efficient, high performance power systems in infrastructure and industrial applications. 

Digital Signal Processing Products

Digital Signal Processing products (DSPs) complete our product portfolio. DSPs are optimized for high-speed numeric 

calculations, which are essential for instantaneous, or real-time, processing of digital data generated, in most cases, from analog 
to digital signal conversion. Our DSPs are designed to be fully programmable and to efficiently execute specialized software 
programs, or algorithms, associated with processing digitized real-time, real-world data. Programmable DSPs are designed to 
provide the flexibility to modify the device’s function quickly and inexpensively using software. Our general-purpose DSP IC 
customers typically write their own algorithms using software development tools provided by us and third-party suppliers. Our 
DSPs are designed in families of products that share common architectures and therefore can execute the same software across 
a range of products. We support these products with easy-to-use development tools, which are designed to reduce our 
customers’ product development costs and time-to-market. Our customers use our products to solve a wide range of signal 
processing challenges across our core market and segment focus areas within the industrial, automotive, consumer and 
communications end markets. As an integrated part of our customers' signal chain, there are typically many other Analog 
Devices products connected to our processors including converters, audio and video codecs and power management solutions.

an important market for our communications products. Communications technology involves the acquisition of analog signals 
that are converted from analog to digital and digital to analog form during the process of transmitting and receiving data. The
need for higher speed and reduced power consumption, coupled with more reliable, bandwidth-efficient communications, 
creates demand for our products, which are used in the full spectrum of signal processing for internet protocol, video streaming
and voice communication. In wireless and broadband communication applications, our products are incorporated into: 

•
•

Cellular basestation equipment
Wireless backhaul systems 

• Wired networking equipment
•

for further information about our products by category and end market. 

Research and Development

Our markets are characterized by rapid technological changes and advances. Accordingly, we make substantial 
investments in the design and development of new products and manufacturing processes, and the improvement of existing 
products and manufacturing processes. We spent approximately $513 million during fiscal 2013 on the design, development 
and improvement of new and existing products and manufacturing processes, compared to approximately $512 million during 
fiscal 2012 and approximately $506 million during fiscal 2011.

Our research and development strategy focuses on building technical leadership in core technologies of converters, 

amplifiers and RF, MEMS, power management, and DSP. In support of our research and development activities, we employ 
thousands of engineers involved in product and manufacturing process development throughout the world. 

Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights

We seek to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our technology and products through the use of patents, 

copyrights, mask works, trademarks and trade secrets. We have a program to file applications for and obtain patents, 
copyrights, mask works and trademarks in the United States and in selected foreign countries where we believe filing for such 
protection is appropriate. We also seek to maintain our trade secrets and confidential information by nondisclosure policies and
through the use of appropriate confidentiality agreements. We have obtained a substantial number of patents and trademarks in 
the United States and in other countries. As of November 2, 2013, we held approximately 1,950 U.S. patents and approximately 
700 non-provisional pending U.S. patent applications with expiration dates ranging from 2013 through 2033. There can be no 
assurance, however, that the rights obtained can be successfully enforced against infringing products in every jurisdiction. 
While our patents, copyrights, mask works, trademarks and trade secrets provide some advantage and protection, we believe 
our competitive position and future success is largely determined by such factors as the system and application knowledge, 
innovative skills, technological expertise and management ability and experience of our personnel; the range and success of 
new products being developed by us; our market brand recognition and ongoing marketing efforts; and customer service and 
technical support. It is generally our policy to seek patent protection for significant inventions that may be patented, though we 
may elect, in certain cases, not to seek patent protection even for significant inventions, if we determine other protection, such 
as maintaining the invention as a trade secret, to be more advantageous. We also have trademarks that are used in the conduct 
of our business to distinguish genuine Analog Devices products and we maintain cooperative advertising programs to promote 
our brands and identify products containing genuine Analog Devices components. 

Sales Channels

We sell our products globally through a direct sales force, third-party distributors, independent sales representatives and 

via our website. We have direct sales offices, sales representatives and/or distributors in over 40 countries outside North 
America. 

We support our worldwide technical direct field sales efforts by an extensive promotional program that includes editorial 

coverage and paid advertising in trade publications, direct mail programs, promotional brochures, technical seminars and 
participation in trade shows. We publish and distribute product catalogs, applications guides, technical handbooks and detailed
data sheets for individual products. We also provide this information and sell products via our website. We maintain a staff of
field application engineers who aid customers in incorporating our products into their products. In addition, we offer a variety
of web-based tools that ease product selection and aid in the design process for our customers. 

We derived approximately 55% of our fiscal 2013 revenue from sales made through distributors. These distributors 

typically maintain an inventory of our products. Some of them also sell products that compete with our products, including 
those for which we are an alternate source. In all regions of the world, we defer revenue and the related cost of sales on 
shipments to distributors until the distributors resell the products to their customers. We make sales to distributors under 
agreements that allow distributors to receive price adjustment credits and to return qualifying products for credit, as determined
by us, in order to reduce the amounts of slow-moving, discontinued or obsolete product from their inventory. These agreements 
limit such returns to a certain percentage of our shipments to that distributor during the prior quarter. In addition, distributors 
are allowed to return unsold products if we terminate the relationship with the distributor. Additional information relating to
our sales to distributors is set forth in Note 2n in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Segment Financial Information and Geographic Information

We operate and track our results in one reportable segment based on the aggregation of five operating segments. 

Through subsidiaries and affiliates, we conduct business in numerous countries outside the United States. During fiscal 

2013, we derived approximately 69% of our revenue from customers in international markets. Our international business is 
subject to risks customarily encountered in foreign operations, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and 
controls, import and export controls, and other laws, policies and regulations of foreign governments. Although we engage in 
hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, our competitive position may be adversely 
affected by changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against other currencies.

For further detail regarding revenue and financial information about our industry, segment and geographic areas, see our 

Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 4 in the related Notes contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Customers

We have tens of thousands of customers worldwide. No sales to an individual customer accounted for more than 10% of 

fiscal year 2013, 2012, or 2011 revenue. These customers use hundreds of different types of our products in a wide range of 
applications spanning the industrial, automotive, consumer and communication markets. Our largest single customer, excluding 
distributors, represented approximately 4% of our fiscal 2013 revenue. Our 20 largest customers, excluding distributors, 
accounted for approximately 34% of our fiscal 2013 revenue. 

Seasonality

Sales to customers during our first fiscal quarter may be lower than other quarters due to plant shutdowns at some of our 

customers during the holiday season. In general, the seasonality for any specific period of time has not had a material impact on 
our results of operations. In addition, as explained in our risk factors contained in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-
K, our revenue is more likely to be influenced on a quarter to quarter basis by cyclicality in the semiconductor industry. 

Production and Raw Materials

Monolithic IC components are manufactured in a sequence of semiconductor production steps that include wafer 
fabrication, wafer testing, cutting the wafer into individual “chips,” or dice, assembly of the dice into packages and electrical
testing of the devices in final packaged form. The raw materials used to manufacture these devices include silicon wafers, 
processing chemicals (including liquefied gases), precious metals and ceramic and plastic used for packaging. 

We develop and employ a wide variety of proprietary manufacturing processes that are specifically tailored for use in 
fabricating high-performance analog, DSP, mixed-signal and MEMS ICs. We also use bipolar and complementary metal-oxide 
semiconductor, or CMOS, wafer fabrication processes. 

Our IC products are fabricated both at our production facilities and by third-party wafer fabricators. Our products are 

manufactured in our own wafer fabrication facilities using proprietary processes and at third-party wafer-fabrication foundries
using sub-micron digital CMOS processes. We currently source approximately 50% of our wafer requirements annually from 
third-party wafer fabrication foundries, primarily Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).  We operate wafer 
fabrication facilities in Wilmington, Massachusetts and Limerick, Ireland. We also operate test facilities located in the 
Philippines and use third-party subcontractors for the assembly and testing of our products. 

Capital spending was approximately $123 million in fiscal 2013, compared with approximately $132 million in fiscal 
2012. We expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2014 to be approximately $150 million, of which about two-thirds relates to 
ongoing capital spending, and about one-third relates to capital spending for a new building we are constructing on our campus 
in Ireland.  

Our products require a wide variety of components, raw materials and external foundry services, most of which we 
purchase from third-party suppliers. We have multiple sources for many of the components and materials that we purchase and 
incorporate into our products. However, a large portion of our external wafer purchases and foundry services are from a limited
number of suppliers, primarily TSMC. If TSMC or any of our other key suppliers are unable or unwilling to manufacture and 
deliver sufficient quantities of components to us, on the time schedule and of the quality that we require, we may be forced to
seek to engage additional or replacement suppliers, which could result in significant expenses and disruptions or delays in 
manufacturing, product development and shipment of product to our customers. Although we have experienced shortages of 

8

components, materials and external foundry services from time to time, these items have generally been available to us as 
needed. 

Backlog

Backlog at the end of fiscal 2013 was approximately $345 million, down from approximately $357 million at the end of 

fiscal 2012. We define backlog as of a particular date to mean firm orders from a customer or distributor with a requested 
delivery date within thirteen weeks. Backlog is impacted by the tendency of customers to rely on shorter lead times available 
from suppliers, including us, in periods of depressed demand. In periods of increased demand, there is a tendency towards 
longer lead times that has the effect of increasing backlog and, in some instances, we may not have manufacturing capacity 
sufficient to fulfill all orders. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, we allow most orders to be cancelled or deliveries
to be delayed by customers without significant penalty. Accordingly, we believe that our backlog at any time should not be 
used as an indication of our future revenue. 

We typically do not have long-term sales contracts with our customers. In some of our markets where end-user demand 

may be particularly volatile and difficult to predict, some customers place orders that require us to manufacture product and 
have it available for shipment, even though the customer is unwilling to make a binding commitment to purchase all, or even 
any, of the product. In other instances, we manufacture product based on forecasts of customer demand. As a result, we may 
incur inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales and are subject to the risk of cancellation of orders 
leading to a sharp reduction of sales and backlog. Further, those orders or forecasts may be for products that meet the 
customer’s unique requirements so that those canceled orders would, in addition, result in an inventory of unsaleable products,
resulting in potential inventory write-offs. As a result of lengthy manufacturing cycles for some of our products that are subject
to these uncertainties, the amount of unsaleable product could be substantial. 

Government Contracts

We estimate that approximately 3% of our fiscal 2013 revenue was attributable to sales to the U.S. government and 
U.S. government contractors and subcontractors. Our government contract business is predominantly in the form of negotiated, 
firm, fixed-price subcontracts. Most of these contracts and subcontracts contain standard provisions relating to termination at
the election of the U.S. government. 

Acquisitions, Divestitures and Investments

An element of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisition of businesses, assets, products or 

technologies that allow us to complement our existing product offerings, expand our market coverage, increase our engineering 
workforce or enhance our technological capabilities. From time to time, we consider acquisitions and divestitures that may 
strengthen our business.  

On October 31, 2013, we completed the sale of the assets and intellectual property related to our microphone product line 
to InvenSense, Inc. (InvenSense). We received $100.0 million in cash for the assets and intellectual property at the closing.  In 
addition, we have agreed to provide InvenSense with various transition services subsequent to the closing. We may receive 
additional cash payments, not to exceed $70.0 million, based on the achievement of certain revenue milestones through the first
anniversary of the closing date. 

Additional information relating to our acquisition and divestiture activities during fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 is set 

forth in Note 2u, Note 6 and Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.

Competition

We believe that competitive performance in the marketplace for signal processing products depends upon multiple 

factors, including technological innovation, strength of brand, diversity of product portfolio, product performance, technical 
support, delivery capabilities, customer service quality, reliability and price, with the relative importance of these factors 
varying among products, markets, and customers. 

We compete with a number of semiconductor companies in markets that are highly competitive. Our competitors include 

but are not limited to: 

• Broadcom Corporation 
• Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.  
• Infineon Technologies 
• Intersil Corporation 
• Linear Technology Corporation
• Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. 

• Microchip Technology, Inc. 
• NXP Semiconductors
• ST Microelectronics
• Silicon Laboratories, Inc.
• Texas Instruments, Inc.

We believe that our technical innovation emphasizing product performance and reliability, supported by our commitment 

to strong customer service and technical support, enables us to make a fundamental difference to our customers’ 
competitiveness in our chosen markets. 

Environment, Health and Safety

We are committed to protecting the environment and the health and safety of our employees, customers and the public. 

We endeavor to adhere to applicable environmental, health and safety (EHS) regulatory and industry standards across all of our 
facilities, and to encourage pollution prevention, reduce our water and energy consumption, reduce waste generation, and strive
towards continual improvement. We strive to achieve excellence in EHS management practices as an integral part of our total 
quality management system. 

Our management systems are certified to ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO 9001 and TS16949. We are a member of the 

Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC). Our Sustainability Report, first published in 2009, states our commitment to 
consuming less energy and applying fair labor standards, among other things. We are not including the information contained 
in our Sustainability Report in, or incorporating it by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous and increasingly strict federal, state, local and foreign EHS laws and 

regulations, particularly with respect to the transportation, storage, handling, use, emission, discharge and disposal of certain 
chemicals used or produced in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Our products are subject to increasingly stringent 
regulations regarding chemical content in jurisdictions where we sell products, including the Restriction of Hazardous 
Substances (RoHS) directive in the European Union and China and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction 
of Chemicals (REACH) directive in the European Union. Contracts with many of our customers reflect these and additional 
EHS compliance standards. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material impact on our capital 
expenditures, earnings, financial condition or competitive position. There can be no assurance, however, that current or future
environmental laws and regulations will not impose costly requirements upon us. Any failure by us to comply with applicable 
environmental laws, regulations and contractual obligations could result in fines, suspension of production, the need to alter 
manufacturing processes and legal liability. 

Employees

As of November 2, 2013, we employed approximately 9,100 individuals worldwide. Our future success depends in large 

part on the continued service of our key technical and senior management personnel, and on our ability to continue to attract, 
retain and motivate qualified employees, particularly those highly-skilled design, process, test and applications engineers 
involved in the design, support and manufacture of new and existing products and processes. We believe that relations with our 
employees are good; however, the competition for such personnel is intense, and the loss of key personnel could have a 
material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. 

10

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the SEC are descriptions of the risks and 

uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking 
statements contained in this report. 

Disruptions in global credit and financial markets could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

There is significant continuing uncertainty regarding the stability of global credit and financial markets. These economic 
uncertainties may lead consumers and businesses to postpone spending, which may cause our customers to cancel, decrease or 
delay their existing and future orders for our products and make it difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future
business activities. Uncertainty regarding the future stability of the Euro Zone could cause the value of the Euro to deteriorate,
thus reducing the purchasing power of our European customers. In addition, financial difficulties experienced by our suppliers 
or distributors could result in product delays, increased accounts receivable defaults and inventory challenges. During the past
few years, many governments adopted stimulus or spending programs designed to ease the economic impact of the crisis. Some 
of our businesses benefited from these stimulus programs and there can be no assurance that such programs will continue in the 
future. If economic conditions deteriorate, we may record additional charges relating to restructuring costs or the impairment of
assets and our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. 

Our future revenue, gross margins, operating results and net income are difficult to predict and may materially fluctuate.

      Our future revenue, gross margins, operating results and net income are difficult to predict and may be materially affected
by a number of factors, including: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the effects of adverse economic conditions in the markets in which we sell our products; 

changes in customer demand for our products and for end products that incorporate our products; 

our ability to effectively manage our cost structure in both the short term and over a longer duration; 

the timing of new product announcements or introductions by us, our customers or our competitors; 

competitive pricing pressures; 

fluctuations in manufacturing yields, adequate availability of wafers and other raw materials, and manufacturing, 

assembly and test capacity; 

the ability of our third-party suppliers, subcontractors and manufacturers to supply us with sufficient quantities of raw 

materials, products and/or components; 

any significant decline in our backlog; 

the timing, delay or cancellation of significant customer orders and our ability to manage inventory; 

our ability to hire, retain and motivate adequate numbers of engineers and other qualified employees to meet the 

demands of our customers; 

changes in geographic, product or customer mix; 

our ability to utilize our manufacturing facilities at efficient levels; 

potential significant litigation-related costs; 

the difficulties inherent in forecasting future operating expense levels, including with respect to costs associated with 

labor, utilities, transportation and raw materials; 

the costs related to compliance with increasing worldwide environmental and social responsibility regulations; 

changes in our effective tax rates in the United States, Ireland or worldwide; and 

the effects of public health emergencies, natural disasters, widespread travel disruptions, security risks, terrorist 

activities, international conflicts and other events beyond our control. 

In addition, the semiconductor market has historically been cyclical and subject to significant economic upturns and 
downturns. Our business is subject to rapid technological changes and there can be no assurance (i) that products stocked in our
inventory will not be rendered obsolete before we ship them, or (ii) that we will be able to produce products in a timely fashion 
to accommodate changing customer demand. As a result of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that we will not 
experience material fluctuations in future revenue, gross margins, operating results and net income on a quarterly or annual 

11

basis. In addition, if our revenue, gross margins, operating results and net income do not meet the expectations of securities 
analysts or investors, the market price of our common stock may decline. 

Changes in our effective tax rate may impact our results of operations.

A number of factors may increase our future effective tax rate, including: changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such 

tax laws; increases in tax rates in various jurisdictions; variation in the jurisdictions in which profits are earned and taxed; any 
adverse resolution of ongoing tax audits or adverse rulings from taxing authorities worldwide; changes in the valuation of our 
deferred tax assets and liabilities; adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of various tax returns; increases in expenses
not deductible for tax purposes, including executive compensation subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal 
Revenue Code and amortization of assets acquired in connection with strategic transactions; decreased availability of tax 
deductions for stock-based compensation awards worldwide; and changes in available tax credits. Any significant increase in 
our future effective tax rates could adversely impact our net income during future periods. 

Long-term contracts are not typical for us and reductions, cancellations or delays in orders for our products could adversely 
affect our operating results.

We typically do not have long-term sales contracts with our customers. In certain markets where end-user demand may 
be particularly volatile and difficult to predict, some customers place orders that require us to manufacture product and have it
available for shipment, even though the customer is unwilling to make a binding commitment to purchase all, or even any, of 
the product. In other instances, we manufacture product based on forecasts of customer demands. As a result, we may incur 
inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales and are subject to the risk of cancellations of orders, leading 
to a sharp reduction of sales and backlog. Further, orders or forecasts may be for products that meet the customer’s unique 
requirements so that those canceled or unrealized orders would, in addition, result in an inventory of unsaleable products, 
causing potential inventory write-offs. As a result of lengthy manufacturing cycles for certain of the products that are subject to 
these uncertainties, the amount of unsaleable product could be substantial. Incorrect forecasts, or reductions, cancellations or
delays in orders for our products could adversely affect our operating results. 

Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to innovate, improve our products, develop and market new products, 
and identify and enter new markets.

Our future success significantly depends on our continued ability to improve our products and develop and market 
innovative new products. Product development, innovation and enhancement is often a complex, time-consuming and costly 
process involving significant investment in research and development, with no assurance of return on investment. There can be 
no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new and improved products in a timely or efficient manner or that 
new and improved products, if developed, will achieve market acceptance. Our products generally must conform to various 
evolving and sometimes competing industry standards, which may adversely affect our ability to compete in certain markets or 
require us to incur significant costs. In addition, our customers generally impose very high quality and reliability standards on 
our products, which often change and may be difficult or costly to satisfy. Any inability to satisfy customer quality standards or 
comply with industry standards and technical requirements may adversely affect demand for our products and our results of 
operations. In addition, our growth is dependent on our continued ability to identify and penetrate new markets where we have 
limited experience and competition is intense. Also, some of our customers in these markets are less established, which could 
subject us to increased credit risk. There can be no assurance that the markets we serve will grow in the future, that our existing 
and new products will meet the requirements of these markets, that our products will achieve customer acceptance in these 
markets, that competitors will not force price reductions or take market share from us, or that we can achieve or maintain 
adequate gross margins or profits in these markets. Furthermore, a decline in demand in one or several of our end-user markets 
could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and our results of operations. 

We may not be able to compete successfully in markets within the semiconductor industry in the future.

We face intense technological and pricing competition in the semiconductor industry, and we expect this competition to 
increase in the future, including from companies located outside the United States. Many companies have sufficient financial, 
manufacturing, technical, sales and marketing resources to develop and market products that compete with our products. Some 
of our competitors may have more advantageous supply or development relationships with our current and potential customers 
or suppliers. Our competitors also include emerging companies selling specialized products in markets we serve. 
Competition is generally based on design and quality of products, product performance, features and functionality, and product 
pricing, availability and capacity, with the relative importance of these factors varying among products, markets and customers.
Existing or new competitors may develop products or technologies that more effectively address the demands of our customers 
and markets with enhanced performance, features and functionality, lower power requirements, greater levels of integration or 
lower cost. Increased competition in certain markets has resulted in and may continue to result in declining average selling 
prices, reduced gross margins and loss of market share in those markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to 

12

compete successfully in the future against existing or new competitors, or that our operating results will not be adversely 
affected by increased competition. 

We rely on third-party suppliers, subcontractors and manufacturers for some industry-standard wafers, manufacturing 
processes and assembly and test services, and generally cannot control their availability or conditions of supply.

We rely, and plan to continue to rely, on suppliers, assembly and test subcontractors, and third-party wafer fabricators to 

supply most of our wafers that can be manufactured using industry-standard submicron processes. This reliance involves 
several risks, including reduced control over availability, capacity utilization, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, and
costs. We currently source approximately 50% of our wafer requirements annually from third-party wafer fabrication foundries, 
primarily Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC. In addition, these suppliers often provide manufacturing 
services to our competitors and therefore periods of increased industry demand may result in capacity constraints. In certain 
instances, the third-party supplier is the sole source of highly specialized processing services. If our suppliers are unable or
unwilling to manufacture and deliver components to us on the time schedule and of the quality or quantity that we require or 
provide us with required manufacturing processes, we may be forced to seek to engage additional or replacement suppliers, 
which could result in additional expenses and delays in product development or shipment of product to our customers. If 
replacement suppliers or manufacturing processes are not available, we may also experience delays in product development or 
shipment which could, in turn, result in the temporary or permanent loss of customers. 

The markets for semiconductor products are cyclical, and increased production may lead to overcapacity and lower prices, 
and conversely, we may not be able to satisfy unexpected demand for our products.

The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry has resulted in periods when demand for our products has increased or 

decreased rapidly. If we expand our operations and workforce too rapidly or procure excessive resources in anticipation of 
increased demand for our products, and that demand does not materialize at the pace at which we expect, or declines, or if we 
overbuild inventory in a period of decreased demand, our operating results may be adversely affected as a result of increased 
operating expenses, reduced margins, underutilization of capacity or asset impairment charges. These capacity expansions by 
us and other semiconductor manufacturers could also lead to overcapacity in our target markets which could lead to price 
erosion that would adversely impact our operating results. Conversely, during periods of rapid increases in demand, our 
available capacity may not be sufficient to satisfy the demand. In addition, we may not be able to expand our workforce and 
operations in a sufficiently timely manner, procure adequate resources and raw materials, or locate suitable third-party 
suppliers, to respond effectively to changes in demand for our existing products or to the demand for new products requested 
by our customers, and our current or future business could be materially and adversely affected. 

Our semiconductor products are complex and we may be subject to product warranty and indemnity claims, which could result 
in significant costs and damage to our reputation and adversely affect the market acceptance of our products.

Semiconductor products are highly complex and may contain defects when they are first introduced or as new versions 
are developed. We generally warrant our products to our customers for one year from the date title passes from us. We invest 
significant resources in the testing of our products; however, if any of our products contain defects, we may be required to incur 
additional development and remediation costs, pursuant to warranty and indemnification provisions in our customer contracts 
and purchase orders. These problems may divert our technical and other resources from other product development efforts and 
could result in claims against us by our customers or others, including liability for costs associated with product recalls, which 
may adversely impact our operating results. We may also be subject to customer indemnity claims. Our customers have on 
occasion been sued, and may in the future be sued, by third parties alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, or 
damages resulting from use of our products. Those customers may seek indemnification from us under the terms and conditions 
of our sales contracts with them. In certain cases, our potential indemnification liability may be significant. If any of our 
products contains defects, or has reliability, quality or compatibility problems, our reputation may be damaged, which could 
make it more difficult for us to sell our products to existing and prospective customers and could adversely affect our operating 
results. 

We have manufacturing processes that utilize a substantial amount of technology as the fabrication of integrated circuits 
is a highly complex and precise process. Minute impurities, contaminants in the manufacturing environment, difficulties in the 
fabrication process, defects in the masks used in the wafer manufacturing process, manufacturing equipment failures, wafer 
breakage or other factors can cause a substantial percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous dice on each wafer to be 
nonfunctional. While we have significant expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, it is possible that some processes could 
become unstable. This instability could result in manufacturing delays and product shortages, which could have a material 
adverse effect on our operating results. 

13

We are involved in frequent litigation, including regarding intellectual property rights, which could be costly to bring or 
defend and could require us to redesign products or pay significant royalties.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation involving patent and other intellectual 
property rights, including claims arising under our contractual obligations to indemnify our customers. Other companies or 
individuals have obtained patents covering a variety of semiconductor designs and processes, and we might be required to 
obtain licenses under some of these patents or be precluded from making and selling infringing products, if those patents are 
found to be valid and infringed by us.  In the event a third party makes a valid intellectual property claim against us and a 
license is not available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we could be forced either to redesign or to stop 
production of products incorporating that intellectual property, and our operating results could be materially and adversely 
affected. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our patents or other of our intellectual property rights or to defend us against
claims of infringement, and this litigation could be costly and divert the attention of our key personnel. We could be subject to 
indemnity, warranty or product liability claims that could lead to significant costs and expenses as we defend those claims or 
pay damage awards. There can be no assurance that we are adequately insured to protect against all claims and potential 
liabilities. We may incur costs and expenses relating to a recall of our customers’ products due to an alleged failure of 
components we supply. An adverse outcome in litigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or on 
our operating results or cash flows in the period in which the litigation is resolved. 

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property rights, which may limit our ability to compete 
effectively.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We primarily rely on patent, mask 

work, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods, to protect our 
proprietary technologies and processes. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, it is possible that competitors or 
other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose our technologies, products and processes. Moreover, the laws
of foreign countries in which we design, manufacture, market and sell our products may afford little or no effective protection
of our proprietary intellectual property.  

There can be no assurance that the claims allowed in our issued patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our 
technology. In addition, any of our existing or future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. As such, any 
rights granted under these patents may not provide us with adequate protection. We may not be able to obtain foreign patents or
pending applications corresponding to our U.S. patents and applications. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective 
enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. If our patents and mask works do not adequately protect our technology, 
our competitors may be able to offer products similar to ours. Our competitors may also be able to develop similar technology 
independently or design around our patents. 

We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and strategic partners. We also try to 

control access to and distribution of our technologies, documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these efforts,
internal or external parties may attempt to copy, disclose, obtain or use our products or technology without our authorization.
Also, former employees may seek employment with our business partners, customers or competitors, and there can be no 
assurance that the confidential nature of our proprietary information will be maintained in the course of such future 
employment. 

A significant disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems could materially and adversely affect
our business or reputation.  

We rely on information technology systems throughout our Company to keep financial records, process orders, manage 
inventory, coordinate shipments to customers, and operate other critical functions.  Our information technology systems may be 
susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication failures, user 
errors, catastrophes or other unforeseen events.   We may also be subject to security breaches caused by computer viruses, 
illegal break-ins or hacking, sabotage, or acts of vandalism by third parties.  Our security measures or those of our third party
service providers may not detect or prevent security breaches.  If we were to experience a prolonged disruption in the 
information technology systems that involve our interactions with customers or suppliers, it could result in the loss of sales and
customers and significant incremental costs, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, security breaches of our 
information technology systems could result in the misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information 
belonging to us or to our employees, partners, customers or suppliers, which could result in our suffering significant financial
or reputational damage.

If we do not retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be adversely affected.

Our continued success depends to a significant extent upon the recruitment, retention and effective succession of our 

executive officers and key management and technical personnel, particularly our experienced engineers. The competition for 
these employees is intense. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on
our operating results. In addition, there could be a material adverse effect on our business should the turnover rates for 
engineers and other key personnel increase significantly or if we are unable to continue to attract qualified personnel. We do 
not maintain any key person life insurance policy on any of our officers or employees. 

To remain competitive, we may need to acquire other companies, purchase or license technology from third parties, or enter 
into other strategic transactions in order to introduce new products or enhance our existing products.

An element of our business strategy involves expansion through the acquisitions of businesses, assets, products or 
technologies that allow us to complement our existing product offerings, expand our market coverage, increase our engineering 
workforce or enhance our technological capabilities. We may not be able to find businesses that have the technology or 
resources we need and, if we find such businesses, we may not be able to purchase or license the technology or resources on 
commercially favorable terms or at all. Acquisitions and technology licenses are difficult to identify and complete for a number
of reasons, including the cost of potential transactions, competition among prospective buyers and licensees, the need for 
regulatory approvals, and difficulties related to integration efforts. Both in the U.S. and abroad, governmental regulation of 
acquisitions has become more complex, increasing the costs and risks of undertaking significant acquisitions. In order to 
finance a potential transaction, we may need to raise additional funds by issuing securities or borrowing money. We may not be 
able to find financing on favorable terms, and the sale of our stock may result in the dilution of our existing shareholders or the 
issuance of securities with rights that are superior to the rights of our common shareholders. 

Acquisitions also involve a number of risks, including: 

difficulty integrating acquired technologies, operations and personnel with our existing businesses; 

diversion of management attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisitions and integrating the assets; 

strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to oversee larger operations; 

the future funding requirements for acquired companies, which may be significant; 

potential loss of key employees; 

exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies; and 

increased risk of costly and time-consuming litigation.

•

If we are unable to successfully address these risks, we may not realize some or all of the expected benefits of the 

acquisition, which may have an adverse effect on our business plans and operating results. 

We rely on supplies, services and manufacturing capacity located in geologically unstable areas, which could affect our ability
to produce products.

We, like many companies in the semiconductor industry, rely on supplies, services, internal manufacturing capacity, 

wafer fabrication foundries and other sub-contractors in geologically unstable locations around the world. This reliance 
involves risks associated with the impact of earthquakes on us and the semiconductor industry, including temporary loss of 
capacity, availability and cost of key raw materials, utilities and equipment and availability of key services, including transport 
of our products worldwide. For example, in fiscal 2011, our revenue in Japan declined as a result of the severe earthquake and 
tsunami in that country. In addition, flooding in Thailand and the Philippines in 2012 had disruptive effects on local 
semiconductor-related businesses. Any prolonged inability to utilize one of our manufacturing facilities, or those of our 
subcontractors or third-party wafer fabrication foundries, as a result of fire, flood, natural disaster, unavailability of utilities or 
otherwise, could result in a temporary or permanent loss of customers for affected products, which could have a material 
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 

We are exposed to business, economic, political, legal and other risks through our significant worldwide operations.

We have significant operations and manufacturing facilities outside the United States, including in Ireland and the 

Philippines. Approximately 69% of our revenue is derived from customers in international markets. Although we engage in 
hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, there can be no assurance that our 
competitive position will not be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rate of the United States dollar against other 
currencies. Potential interest rate increases, as well as high energy costs, could have an adverse impact on industrial and 
consumer spending patterns and could adversely impact demand for our products. At November 2, 2013, our principal source 

15

of liquidity was $4,682.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which approximately $1,318.9 
million was held in the United States and the remaining balance was held outside the United States in various foreign 
subsidiaries. As we intend to reinvest our foreign earnings indefinitely, this cash held outside the United States is not readily
available to meet our cash requirements in the United States. We require a substantial amount of cash in the United States for 
operating requirements, stock repurchases, cash dividends and acquisitions. If we are unable to address our U.S. cash 
requirements through operations, through borrowings under our current credit facility, through future debt or equity offerings 
or from other sources of cash obtained at an acceptable cost, it may be necessary for us to consider repatriation of earnings that 
are permanently reinvested, and we may be required to pay additional taxes under current tax laws, which could have a material 
effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 

In addition to being exposed to the ongoing economic cycles in the semiconductor industry, we are also subject to the 
economic, political and legal risks inherent in international operations, including the risks associated with the recent crisis in 
global credit and financial markets, ongoing uncertainties and political and economic instability in many countries around the 
world, as well as economic disruption from acts of terrorism and the response to them by the United States and its allies. Other
business risks associated with global operations include increased managerial complexities, air transportation disruptions, 
expropriation, currency controls, currency exchange rate movement, additional costs related to foreign taxes, tariffs and freight 
rate increases, exposure to different business practices and legal standards, particularly with respect to price protection, 
competition practices, intellectual property, anti-corruption and environmental compliance, trade and travel restrictions, 
pandemics, import and export license requirements and restrictions, difficulties in staffing and managing worldwide operations,
and accounts receivable collections.  We also incur significant costs associated with our foreign defined benefit pension plans.
There can be no assurance that the value of the plan assets will be sufficient in the future and it is possible that we may be 
required to make higher cash contributions to the plans in future years, which would reduce the cash available for other 
business purposes. 

We expect to continue to expand our business and operations in China. Our success in the Chinese markets may be 
adversely affected by China’s continuously evolving laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and 
export tariffs, currency controls, environmental regulations, indigenous innovation, and intellectual property rights and 
enforcement of those rights. Enforcement of existing laws or agreements may be inconsistent. In addition, changes in the 
political environment, governmental policies or U.S.-China relations could result in revisions to laws or regulations or their 
interpretation and enforcement, exposure of our proprietary intellectual property, increased taxation, restrictions on imports,
import duties or currency revaluations, which could have an adverse effect on our business plans and operating results. 

Our operating results are dependent on the performance of independent distributors.

A significant portion of our sales are through independent distributors that are not under our control. These independent 
distributors generally represent product lines offered by several companies and thus could reduce their sales efforts applied to
our products or they could terminate their representation of us. We generally do not require letters of credit from our 
distributors and are not protected against accounts receivable default or declarations of bankruptcy by these distributors. Our
inability to collect open accounts receivable could adversely affect our operating results. Termination of a significant 
distributor, whether at our initiative or the distributor’s initiative or through consolidation in the distribution industry, could 
disrupt our current business, and if we are unable to find suitable replacements, our operating results could be adversely 
affected.

We are subject to increasingly strict environmental, health and safety (EHS) regulations, which could increase our expenses 
and affect our operating results.

Our industry is subject to increasingly strict EHS requirements, particularly those environmental requirements that 
control and restrict the sourcing, use, transportation, emission, discharge, storage and disposal of certain chemicals, minerals,
elements and materials used or produced in the semiconductor manufacturing process. Public attention to environmental, 
sustainability and social responsibility concerns continues to increase, and our customers routinely include stringent 
environmental and other standards in their contracts with us. Changes in environmental laws or regulations may require us to 
invest in costly equipment or alter the way our products are made. In addition, we use hazardous and other regulated materials 
that subject us to risks of strict liability for damages caused by potential or actual releases of such materials. Any failure to 
control such materials adequately or to comply with statutory or regulatory standards or contractual obligations could result in
liability for damages, penalties, and civil and criminal fines, and might damage our reputation, increase our expenses, and 
adversely affect our operating results. 

Compliance with new “conflict minerals” rules recently promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission will 

result in increased costs related to investigations to determine the sources of raw materials used in our products, and to any 
resulting changes to products, processes or sources of supply.  The implementation of these rules could also adversely affect the
sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in our products. New climate change laws and regulations could require us to 
change our manufacturing processes or obtain substitute materials that may cost more or be less available for our 

16

manufacturing operations. In addition, new restrictions on emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases could result 
in significant costs for us. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has adopted greenhouse gas regulations, and the 
U.S. Congress may pass federal greenhouse gas legislation in the future. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 
issued greenhouse gas reporting regulations that may apply to certain of our operations. The EPA is developing other climate 
change-based regulations, as are certain states, that also may increase our expenses and adversely affect our operating results.
We expect increased worldwide regulatory activity relating to climate change in the future. Compliance with these laws and 
regulations has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings, financial condition or competitive position. 
There is no assurance that the cost to comply with current or future EHS laws and regulations will not exceed our estimates or 
adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, any failure by us to comply with applicable EHS
requirements or contractual obligations could result in penalties, civil and criminal fines, suspension of or changes to 
production, legal liability and damage to our reputation. 

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may not be able to service our debt obligations, including making 
payments on our outstanding senior unsecured notes.

In April 2011, we issued in a public offering $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes 
due April 15, 2016 (the 2016 Notes).  In June 2013, we issued in a public offering $500.0 million aggregate principal amount 
of 2.875% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2023 (the 2023 Notes and together with the 2016 Notes, the Notes).  Our ability 
to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness when due depends upon our future performance, which will be 
subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business and other factors affecting our consolidated 
operations, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the 
future to service our outstanding debt, we may be required to, among other things: 

•

•

seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets; 

refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the Notes; 

• borrow under our existing revolving credit facility; 

• divert funds that would otherwise be invested in our operations; 

•

•

sell selected assets; or 

reduce or delay planned capital expenditures or operating expenditures. 

Such measures might not be sufficient to enable us to service our debt, including the Notes, which could negatively 
impact our financial results. In addition, any such financing, refinancing or sale of assets might not be possible on economically
favorable terms. 

Restrictions in our revolving credit facility and outstanding debt instruments may limit our activities.

Our current revolving credit facility and our outstanding senior unsecured notes impose, and future debt instruments to 

which we may become subject may impose, restrictions that limit our ability to engage in activities that could otherwise benefit
our Company, including to undertake certain transactions, to create certain liens on our assets and to incur certain subsidiary
indebtedness. Our ability to comply with these financial restrictions and covenants is dependent on our future performance, 
which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors that are beyond our control such as 
foreign exchange rates, interest rates, changes in technology and changes in the level of competition. In addition, our revolving 
credit facility requires us to maintain compliance with specified financial ratios. If we breach any of the covenants under our
revolving credit facility or the indenture governing our outstanding Notes and do not obtain appropriate waivers, then, subject
to applicable cure periods, our outstanding indebtedness thereunder could be declared immediately due and payable. 

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the future, as it may be 

significantly affected by the following factors: 

•

•

•

•

crises in global credit, debt and financial markets; 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and operating results; 

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with those estimates or our 

published guidance; 

changes in market valuations of other semiconductor companies; 

17

•

announcements by us or our competitors of significant new products, technical innovations, material transactions, 

acquisitions or dispositions, litigation or capital commitments; 

• departures of key personnel; 

•

alleged noncompliance with laws, regulations or ethics standards by us or any of our employees, officers or 

directors; and 

• negative media publicity targeting us or our suppliers, customers or competitors. 

The stock market has historically experienced volatility, especially within the semiconductor industry, that often has been 

unrelated to the performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may cause our stock price to fall regardless of
our operating results.

Fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2011 were 52-week years. Fiscal 2012 was a 53-week year. The additional week in fiscal 2012 was 

included in the first quarter ended February 4, 2012.

The year-to-year revenue changes by end market and product category are more fully outlined below under Revenue 

Trends by End Market and Revenue Trends by Product Type.

During fiscal 2013, our revenue decreased 2% compared to fiscal 2012. Our diluted earnings per share from continuing 

operations increased to $2.14 in fiscal 2013 from $2.13 in fiscal 2012. Cash flow from operations in fiscal 2013 was $912.3 
million, or 34.6% of revenue.  The year-to-year decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to one less week of operations in 
fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 and continued weakness in the global economic environment. We believe that our 
variable cost structure and continued efforts to manage production, inventory levels and expenses helped to mitigate the effect 
of the lower sales level on our earnings.

Revenue Trends by End Market

The following table summarizes revenue by end market. The categorization of revenue by end market is determined 
using a variety of data points including the technical characteristics of the product, the “sold to” customer information, the 
“ship to” customer information and the end customer product or application into which our product will be incorporated. As 
data systems for capturing and tracking this data evolve and improve, the categorization of products by end market can vary 
over time. When this occurs, we reclassify revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not 
materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.

The year-to-year decrease in revenue in the industrial and consumer end markets in fiscal 2013 was primarily the 
result of a weak global economic environment and one less week of operations in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012.  
Automotive end market revenue increased in fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of increasing electronic content in vehicles. 

The year-to-year decrease in revenue in the industrial, consumer and communications end markets in fiscal 2012 was 

primarily the result of a broad-based decrease in demand in these end markets.  Automotive end market revenue increased in 
fiscal 2012 primarily as a result of increasing electronic content in vehicles.

Revenue Trends by Product Type

The following table summarizes revenue by product categories. The categorization of our products into broad categories 

is based on the characteristics of the individual products, the specification of the products and in some cases the specific uses 
that certain products have within applications. The categorization of products into categories is therefore subject to judgment in 
some cases and can vary over time. In instances where products move between product categories, we reclassify the amounts in 
the product categories for all prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the 
underlying trends of results within, each product category.

In fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, the predominant countries comprising “Rest of North and South America” are 
Canada and Mexico; the predominant countries comprising “Europe” are Germany, Sweden, France and the United Kingdom; 
and the predominant countries comprising “Rest of Asia” are Taiwan and South Korea.

On a regional basis, the year-over-year sales declines in Japan and Rest of Asia for fiscal 2013 were primarily the result 
of lower demand for products used in consumer applications.  The year-over-year sales increase in China for fiscal 2013 was 
primarily the result of an increase in demand in the industrial end market.

Gross margin percentage in fiscal 2013 decreased 20 basis points compared to fiscal 2012 primarily as a result of a slight 

mix shift in favor of lower margin products being sold. 

Gross margin percentage in fiscal 2012 decreased 190 basis points compared to fiscal 2011 primarily as a result of 
decreased operating levels in our manufacturing facilities as well as a reduced percentage of sales of our products sold into the 
industrial automation and instrumentation sectors of the industrial end market and the wireless base station sector of the 
communications end market, which earn higher margins as compared to products sold into our other end market sectors.

R&D Expenses
R&D Expenses as a % of

R&D expenses remained flat in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 as increases in R&D employee salary and benefit 
expenses and other operational spending were offset by lower variable compensation expense linked to our overall profitability 
and revenue growth.

R&D expenses increased in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011 as a result of annual salary increases that became 

effective during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and a general increase in spending, partially offset by lower variable 
compensation expense linked to our overall profitability and revenue growth.

R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue will fluctuate from year-to-year depending on the amount of revenue and the 

success of new product development efforts, which we view as critical to our future growth. We have hundreds of R&D 
projects underway, none of which we believe are material on an individual basis. We expect to continue the development of 
innovative technologies and processes for new products. We believe that a continued commitment to R&D is essential to 
maintain product leadership with our existing products as well as to provide innovative new product offerings, and therefore, 
we expect to continue to make significant R&D investments in the future.

SMG&A expenses remained flat in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 as decreases in SMG&A employee salary and 
benefit expenses and variable compensation expense linked to our overall profitability and revenue growth were partially offset 
by increases in other operational spending. In addition, fiscal 2013 also included $6.3 million of stock-based compensation 
expense following the death of our CEO in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock 
units in accordance with the terms of his restricted stock unit agreement. 

29

 
 
 
 
 
 
SMG&A expenses decreased in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011 as lower variable compensation expense, which is 

a variable expense linked to our overall profitability and revenue growth, was partially offset by annual salary increases that 
became effective during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Special Charges

We monitor global macroeconomic conditions on an ongoing basis, and continue to assess opportunities for improved 
operational effectiveness and efficiency and better alignment of expenses with revenues. As a result of these assessments, we 
have undertaken various restructuring actions over the past several years. The expense reductions relating to ongoing actions 
are described below.

During fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2010, we recorded special charges of approximately $43.3 million. These special 
charges included: $39.1 million for severance and fringe benefit costs in accordance with our ongoing benefit plan or statutory 
requirements at foreign locations for 245 manufacturing employees and 470 engineering and SMG&A employees; $2.1 million 
for lease obligation costs for facilities that we ceased using during the first quarter of fiscal 2009; $0.8 million for the write-off 
of property, plant and equipment; $0.5 million for contract termination costs and $0.3 million for clean-up and closure costs 
that were expensed as incurred; and $0.5 million related to the impairment of intellectual property. This action resulted in 
annual cost savings of approximately $52.0 million per year. We have terminated the employment of all employees associated 
with these actions. 

During fiscal 2011, we recorded a special charge of approximately $2.2 million for severance and fringe benefit costs in 

accordance with our ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 25 engineering and SMG&A 
employees. This action was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. This action resulted in annual cost savings of 
approximately $4.0 million.

During fiscal 2012, we recorded special charges of approximately $8.4 million. The special charge included $7.9 million 
for severance and fringe benefit costs in accordance with our ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations 
for 95 manufacturing, engineering and SMG&A employees; $0.1 million for contract termination costs; $0.2 million for lease 
obligation costs for facilities that we ceased using during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and $0.2 million for the write-off of 
property, plant and equipment. This action resulted in annual savings in SMG&A expenses of approximately $12.0 million per 
year. We have terminated the employment of all employees associated with this action. 

During fiscal 2013, we recorded special charges of approximately $29.8 million for severance and fringe benefit costs in 

accordance with our ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 235 engineering and SMG&A 
employees.  As of November 2, 2013, we employed 98 of the 235 employees included in this cost reduction action. These 
employees must continue to be employed by us until their employment is involuntarily terminated in order to receive the 
severance benefit.  We estimate these actions will result in annual cost savings of approximately $32.6 million, once fully 
implemented, which will be used to make additional investments in products that we expect will drive revenue growth in the 
future.

The year-over-year increase in nonoperating income in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 was primarily the result of 

recognizing a gain of $85.4 million from the sale of a product line, as more fully described below under the heading 
Divestitures,  partially offset by the net loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $10.2 million in conjunction with the 
redemption of our $375 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes in fiscal 2013 as more fully 
described below under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The year-over-year increase in nonoperating interest expense in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011 was primarily a 

result of our issuance of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes on April 4, 2011 which was 
partially offset by the impact of the termination of our interest rate swap agreement more fully described below under the 
heading Debt. The increases were partially offset by an increase in nonoperating interest income due to higher interest rates 
earned on our investments and the investment of higher cash balances in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011, and an 
increase in nonoperating other income as a result of the gain from the sale of other investments in the second quarter of fiscal
2012.

Our effective tax rate reflects the applicable tax rate in effect in the various tax jurisdictions around the world where our 

income is earned. 

The decrease in our effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 was primarily due to income earned in 

lower tax rate jurisdictions as a result of an international tax restructuring effective January 1, 2013.  In addition, our effective
tax rate for fiscal 2013 was lower by approximately 3% as a result of various discrete items including the reinstatement of the
U.S. federal research and development tax credit and the reversal of certain prior period tax liabilities.  These decreases in our 
effective tax rate were partially offset by the recording of a tax reserve of $36.5 million related to one open tax matter related to 
Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code which increased our effective tax rate by approximately 5% and the tax effect of the 
gain on the sale of a product line in fiscal 2013 which increased our effective tax rate by approximately 3%.  

The increase in our effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the expiration of the 

U.S. federal research and development tax credit in December 2011.

The year-over-year increase in net income from continuing operations in fiscal 2013 from fiscal 2012 was primarily a 
result of the lower provision for income taxes and the $72.8 million increase in nonoperating income, partially offset by the 
$71.0 million decrease in operating income from continuing operations. 

The year-over-year decrease in net income from continuing operations in fiscal 2012 from fiscal 2011 was primarily a 
result of the $248.0 million decrease in operating income from continuing operations partially offset by a lower provision for 
income taxes in fiscal 2012. 

The impact of inflation and foreign currency exchange rate movement on our results of operations during the past three 

fiscal years has not been significant.

We sold our Baseband Chipset Business to MediaTek Inc. during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Accordingly, the results 
of the operations of this business has been presented as discontinued operations within the consolidated financial statements.  In 
fiscal 2011, additional proceeds of $10.0 million were released from escrow and $6.5 million net of tax was recorded as 
additional gain from the sale of discontinued operations. 

      Divestitures

          On October 31, 2013, we completed the sale of the assets and intellectual property related to our microphone product line 
to InvenSense, Inc. (InvenSense). We received $100.0 million in cash for the assets and intellectual property and after 
providing for the write-off of inventory, fixed assets and other costs incurred to complete the transaction, recorded a net gain of 
$85.4 million in nonoperating income during fiscal 2013.  We have agreed to provide InvenSense with various transition 
services subsequent to the closing.   We may receive additional cash payments, not to exceed $70.0 million, based on the 
achievement of certain revenue milestones through the first anniversary of the closing date. The sale of the assets and 
intellectual property related to the microphone product line did not qualify as a discontinued operation as it did not meet the
requirement to be considered a component of an entity.

Acquisitions

In fiscal 2012, we acquired privately-held Multigig, Inc. (Multigig) of San Jose, California. The acquisition of Multigig is 

expected to enhance our clocking capabilities in stand-alone and embedded applications and strengthen our high speed signal 
processing solutions. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $26.8 million, which consisted of
$24.2 million in initial cash payments at closing and an additional $2.6 million subject to an indemnification holdback that was
payable within 15 months of the transaction date. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we reduced this holdback amount by 
$0.1 million as a result of indemnification claims. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we paid the remaining $2.5 million
due under the holdback. Our assessment of fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was
based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $15.6 million of in-process 
research and development (IPR&D), $1.1 million of developed technology, $7.0 million of goodwill and $3.1 million of net 
deferred tax assets. The goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the
assembled workforce of Multigig. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill 
because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for
tax purposes. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we finalized our purchase accounting for Multigig which resulted in 
adjustments of $0.4 million to deferred taxes and goodwill. In addition, we will be obligated to pay royalties to the Multigig 
employees on revenue recognized from the sale of certain Multigig products through the earlier of 5 years or the aggregate 
maximum payment of $1.0 million. Royalty payments to Multigig employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered 
and, as such, we will record these amounts as compensation expense in the related periods. As of November 2, 2013, no royalty 
payments have been made. We recognized $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in fiscal 2012, which 
were included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income. 

In fiscal 2011, we acquired privately-held Lyric Semiconductor, Inc. (Lyric) of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 
acquisition of Lyric gives us the potential to achieve significant improvement in power efficiency in mixed signal processing. 
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $27.8 million, which consisted of $14.0 million in initial
cash payments at closing and contingent consideration of up to $13.8 million. The contingent consideration arrangement 
requires additional cash payments to the former equity holders of Lyric upon the achievement of certain technological and 
product development milestones payable during the period from June 2011 through June 2016. We estimated the fair value of 
the contingent consideration arrangement utilizing the income approach. Changes in the fair value of the contingent 
consideration subsequent to the acquisition date primarily driven by assumptions pertaining to the achievement of the defined 
milestones will be recognized in operating income in the period of the estimated fair value change. As of November 2, 2013, 
the Company had paid $8.0 million in contingent consideration. These payments are reflected in the statements of cash flows as 
cash used in financing activities related to the liability recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and cash provided by 
operating activities related to the fair value adjustments previously recognized in earnings. The fair value of the tangible and
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in 
the recognition of $12.2 million of IPR&D, $18.9 million of goodwill and $3.3 million of net deferred tax liabilities. The 
goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of
Lyric. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future 
development and growth of the business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of 
the remaining contingent consideration was approximately $6.5 million as of November 2, 2013, of which $3.8 million is 
included in accrued liabilities and $2.7 million is included in other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. In 
addition, we will be obligated to pay royalties to the former equity holders of Lyric on revenue recognized from the sale of 
Lyric products and licenses through the earlier of 20 years or the accrual of a maximum of $25.0 million. Royalty payments to 
Lyric employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered and, as such, we will record these amounts as compensation 
expense in the related periods. As of November 2, 2013, no royalty payments have been made. We recognized $0.2 million of 
acquisition related costs that were expensed in fiscal 2011. These costs are included in operating expenses in the consolidated
statement of income. 

We have not provided pro forma results of operations for Multigig and Lyric herein as these acquisitions were not 
considered material to us on either an individual or an aggregate basis. We included the results of operations of each acquisition 
in our consolidated statement of income from the date of each acquisition. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At November 2, 2013, our principal source of liquidity was $4,682.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term 

investments, of which approximately $1,318.9 million was held in the United States. The balance of our cash and cash 
equivalents and short-term investments was held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. As we intend to 
reinvest our foreign earnings indefinitely, this cash held outside the United States is not available to meet certain aspects of our 
cash requirements in the United States, including cash dividends and common stock repurchases. Our cash and cash equivalents 
consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition, including money market
funds, and our short-term investments consist primarily of corporate obligations, such as commercial paper and floating rate 

33

notes, bonds and bank time deposits. We maintain these balances with high credit quality counterparties, continually monitor 
the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and diversify our investments in order to minimize our credit risk. 

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to be generated from future operations, together with 
existing and anticipated available long-term financing, will be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures, research and 
development efforts, dividend payments (if any) and repurchases of our stock (if any) under our stock repurchase program in 
the immediate future and for at least the next twelve months.

At November 2, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $392.1 million.  The following changes contributed to the net 

decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $136.7 million in fiscal 2013. 

Operating Activities

         During fiscal 2013, we generated cash from operating activities of $912.3 million, an increase of $97.8 million compared
to the $814.5 million generated in fiscal 2012.  The increase in cash flow from operating activities was related to higher net 
income adjusted for non-cash items and the gain on the sale of the product line coupled with net cash inflows from working 
capital changes. 

Investing Activities

          During fiscal 2013, cash used for investing activities included $918.7 million for the net purchases of available-for-sale
short term investments, $123.1 million for property, plant and equipment additions and $100.0 million in proceeds from the 
sale of a product line.  

Financing Activities

         During fiscal 2013, cash used for financing activities included net proceeds of $493.9 million from the issuance of $500.0 
million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% senior unsecured notes on June 3, 2013, proceeds of $306.3 million from 
employee stock options and proceeds of $11.0 million from the settlement of derivative instruments. We paid $392.8 million 
related to the redemption of the $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes, distributed $406.0 
million to our shareholders in dividend payments, paid $60.5 million for the repurchase of 1.4 million shares of our common 
stock and repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on our $145 million term loan facility of $60.1 million.

The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily the result of lower revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 
compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Days sales outstanding decreased as a result of lower product shipments in the 
final month of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the final month of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. 

Inventory as of November 2, 2013 decreased as compared to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 as a result of our 
continued efforts to balance manufacturing production, demand and inventory levels.  Days cost of sales in inventory decreased 
from 114 days at the end of fiscal 2012 to 111 days at the end of fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of cost of sales decreasing 7% 
while inventory decreased by 10% for the same period. 

Current liabilities increased to $570.5 million at November 2, 2013 from $525.1 million recorded at the end of fiscal 
2012, as increases in income taxes payable, accrued liabilities and deferred income on shipments to distributors, more fully 
described below, were partially offset by a decrease in the current portion of long term debt.    

As of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, we had gross deferred revenue of $309.2 million and $299.0 million, 

respectively, and gross deferred cost of sales of $61.8 million and $60.5 million, respectively. Deferred income on shipments to
distributors increased in fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of a mix shift in favor of higher margin products sold into the channel. 
Sales to distributors are made under agreements that allow distributors to receive price-adjustment credits and to return 
qualifying products for credit, as determined by us, in order to reduce the amounts of slow-moving, discontinued or obsolete 
product from their inventory. Given the uncertainties associated with the levels of price-adjustment credits to be granted to 
distributors, the sales price to the distributors is not fixed or determinable until the distributors resell the products to their 
customers. Therefore, we defer revenue recognition from sales to distributors until the distributors have sold the products to 
their customers. The amount of price-adjustments is dependent on future overall market conditions, and therefore the levels of 
these adjustments could fluctuate significantly from period to period. To the extent that we experience a significant increase in
the amount of credits we issue to our distributors, there could be a material impact on the ultimate revenue and gross margin 
recognized relating to these transactions. 

 Debt

As of November 2, 2013, we had $872.2 million in principal outstanding on our long term debt. Our debt obligations 

consist of the following: 

$375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes

On April 4, 2011, we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 
2016 (the 2016 Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing 
October 15, 2011. 

$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% senior unsecured notes

On June 3, 2013, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 
2023 (the 2023 Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing 
December 1, 2013. 

The indentures governing the 2016 Notes and the 2023 Notes contain covenants that may limit our ability to: incur, 
create, assume or guarantee any debt for borrowed money secured by a lien upon a principal property; enter into sale and lease-
back transactions with respect to a principal property; and consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or 
substantially all of our assets to, any other party. As of November 2, 2013, we were compliant with these covenants. See Note 
16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further 
information on our outstanding debt. 

Revolving Credit Facility

During December 2012, we terminated our $165.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional 

lenders entered into in May 2008. On December 19, 2012, we entered into a five-year, $500.0 million senior unsecured 
revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders. To date, we have not borrowed under this credit facility but we may 
borrow in the future and use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital 
expenditures, working capital and other lawful corporate purposes. The terms of the facility impose restrictions on our ability to 
undertake certain transactions, to create certain liens on assets and to incur certain subsidiary indebtedness. In addition, the
credit agreement contains a consolidated leverage ratio covenant of total consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA 
(earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. As of November 2, 2013, we 
were compliant with these covenants. 

35

$145.0 million term loan facility

On December 22, 2010, Analog Devices Holdings B.V., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit agreement 
with Bank of America, N.A., London Branch as administrative agent. The borrower's obligations were guaranteed by us. The 
credit agreement provided for a $145.0 million term loan facility, which was set to mature on December 22, 2013. During the 
first quarter of fiscal 2013, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on the loan of $60.1 million and the credit
agreement was terminated.   

$375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we redeemed our outstanding 5.0% senior unsecured notes which were due on 

July 1, 2014 (the 2014 Notes).  The redemption price was 104.744% of the principal amount of the 2014 Notes. We recognized 
a net loss on the debt extinguishment of approximately $10.2 million recorded in other, net expense within non-operating 
(income) expense.  The loss was comprised of the make-whole premium of $17.8 million paid to bondholders on the 2014 
Notes in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Notes,  the recognition of the remaining $8.6 million of unamortized proceeds 
received from the termination of the interest rate swap associated with the debt, and the write-off of  approximately $1.0 
million of debt issuance and discount costs that remained to be amortized. The write-off of the remaining unamortized portion 
of debt issuance costs, discount and swap proceeds are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within 
operating activities, and the make-whole premium is reflected within financing activities.   

Stock Repurchase Program

Our common stock repurchase program has been in place since August 2004. In the aggregate, our Board of Directors has 

authorized us to repurchase $5.0 billion of our common stock under the program. Under the program, we may repurchase 
outstanding shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions. 
Unless terminated earlier by resolution of our Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when we have 
repurchased all shares authorized under the program. As of November 2, 2013, we had repurchased a total of approximately 
130.1 million shares of our common stock for approximately $4,481.6 million under this program. As of November 2, 2013, an 
additional $518.4 million worth of shares remains available for repurchase under the current authorized program. The 
repurchased shares are held as authorized but unissued shares of common stock. We also from time to time repurchase shares in 
settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units or the exercise of stock 
options. Any future common stock repurchases will be based on several factors, including our financial performance, outlook, 
liquidity and the amount of cash we have available in the United States. 

         Capital Expenditures

Net additions to property, plant and equipment were $123.1 million in fiscal 2013 and were funded with a combination of 

cash on hand and cash generated from operations. We expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2014 to be approximately $150 
million, of which about two-thirds relates to ongoing capital spending, and about one-third relates to capital spending for a new
building we are constructing on our campus in Ireland. These capital expenditures will be funded with a combination of cash on 
hand and cash generated from operations. 

         Dividends

On November 25, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.34 per outstanding share of common 

stock. The dividend will be paid on December 17, 2013 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on December 6, 
2013 and is expected to total approximately $105.8 million. We currently expect quarterly dividends to continue at $0.34 per 
share, although they remain subject to determination and declaration by our Board of Directors. The payment of future 
dividends, if any, will be based on several factors, including our financial performance, outlook and liquidity.

(b) 

Certain of our operating lease obligations include escalation clauses. These escalating payment requirements are reflected 
in the table.
These payments relate to obligations under our deferred compensation plan. The deferred compensation plan allows 
certain members of management and other highly-compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt 
of all or any portion of their compensation. The amount in the “More than 5 Years” column of the table represents the 
remaining total balance under the deferred compensation plan to be paid to participants who have not terminated 
employment. Since we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of withdrawals for participants who have not yet 
terminated employment, we have included the future obligation to these participants in the “More than 5 Years” column 
of the table.

(c)  Our funding policy for our foreign defined benefit plans is consistent with the local requirements of each country. The 

payment obligations in the table are estimates of our expected contributions to these plans for fiscal year 2014. The 
actual future payments may differ from the amounts presented in the table and reasonable estimates of payments beyond 
one year are not practical because of potential future changes in variables, such as plan asset performance, interest rates 
and the rate of increase in compensation levels.

Purchase orders for the purchase of raw materials and other goods and services are not included in the table above. We 
are not able to determine the total amount of these purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders 
may represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. In addition, our purchase orders generally allow for 
cancellation without significant penalties. We do not have significant agreements for the purchase of raw materials or other 
goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected short-term requirements.

Our 2011 acquisition of Lyric Semiconductor involves the potential payment of contingent consideration. The table above 

does not reflect any such obligations, as the timing and amounts are uncertain. See Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding our acquisitions.

As of November 2, 2013, our total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions was $71.3 million, which are 

included in “Other non-current liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheet contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K. Due to the complexity associated with our tax uncertainties, we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the 
period in which we expect to settle the non-current liabilities associated with these uncertain tax positions. Therefore, we have 
not included these uncertain tax positions in the above contractual obligations table.

The expected timing of payments and the amounts of the obligations discussed above are estimated based on current 

information available as of November 2, 2013.

Off-balance Sheet Financing

As of November 2, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may 

differ materially as a result of, among other things, the important factors contained in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" and 
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless specifically mentioned, these statements do not give effect to the 
potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or business combinations that may be announced or closed after the
date of filing this report. These statements supersede all prior statements regarding our business outlook made by us. 

We are planning for revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to be down approximately 5% to down approximately 10% 

from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Our plan is for gross margin percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to be 
approximately 64% to 65%. We are planning for operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to be approximately $226 
million and our tax rate to be approximately 13%. As a result, our plan is for Diluted EPS to be approximately $0.44 to $0.52 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2014. 

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that 

are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of 
recently issued standards will not have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations. See Note
2t, New Accounting Pronouncements, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for a description of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, including the dates of 
adoption and impact on our historical financial condition and results of operations. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon the consolidated 

financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The 
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and 
judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and beliefs of what could occur in the future based on 
available information. We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our 
financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment. If actual results differ significantly from management’s
estimates and projections, there could be a material effect on our financial statements. We also have other policies that we 
consider key accounting policies, such as our policy for revenue recognition, including the deferral of revenue on sales to 
distributors until the products are sold to the end user; however, the application of these policies does not require us to make
significant estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective. 

Inventory Valuation

We value inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Because of the cyclical nature of the 
semiconductor industry, changes in inventory levels, obsolescence of technology, and product life cycles, we write down 
inventories to net realizable value. We employ a variety of methodologies to determine the net realizable value of inventory. 
While a portion of the calculation is determined via reference to the age of inventory and lower of cost or market calculations,
an element of the calculation is subject to significant judgments made by us about future demand for our inventory. If actual 
demand for our products is less than our estimates, additional adjustments to existing inventories may need to be recorded in 
future periods. To date, our actual results have not been materially different than our estimates, and we do not expect them to
be materially different in the future. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts, when appropriate, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our 

customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, our actual losses may 
exceed our estimates, and additional allowances would be required. To date, our actual results have not been materially 
different than our estimates, and we do not expect them to be materially different in the future. 

Long-Lived Assets

We review property, plant, and equipment and finite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured 
by comparison of their carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate over their 
remaining economic lives. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the 

38

amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or
a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. Although we have recognized no material impairment 
adjustments related to our property, plant, and equipment and identified intangible assets during the past three fiscal years, 
except those made in conjunction with restructuring actions, deterioration in our business in the future could lead to such 
impairment adjustments in future periods. Evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets requires estimates of future operating 
results that are used in the preparation of the expected future undiscounted cash flows. Actual future operating results and the
remaining economic lives of our long-lived assets could differ from the estimates used in assessing the recoverability of these
assets. These differences could result in impairment charges, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of 
operations. In addition, in certain instances, assets may not be impaired but their estimated useful lives may have decreased. In 
these situations, we amortize the remaining net book values over the revised useful lives. We review indefinite-lived intangible
assets for impairment annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter (on or about August 1) or more frequently if indicators of 
impairment exist. The impairment test involves the comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying 
amount. 

Goodwill

Goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist and suggest 
that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable from estimated discounted future cash flows. We test goodwill for 
impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis in the 
fourth quarter (on or about August 1) or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. For our latest annual 
impairment assessment that occurred on August 4, 2013, we identified our reporting units to be our five operating segments, 
which meet the aggregation criteria for one reportable segment. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The 
first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate 
carrying values, including goodwill. We generally determine the fair value of our reporting units using the income approach 
methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation 
methodologies, which requires significant judgment by management. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the 
reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment 
loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s
goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. These impairment tests may result in impairment losses that could have a 
material adverse impact on our results of operations. 

Value of Contingent Consideration related to Business Combination

We record contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. We 

generally determine the fair value of the contingent consideration using the income approach methodology of valuation. Each 
reporting period thereafter, we revalue these obligations and record increases or decreases in their fair value as an adjustment to 
operating expenses within the consolidated statement of income. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration can 
result from changes in assumed discount periods and rates, and from changes pertaining to the achievement of the defined 
milestones. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date
and for each subsequent period. Accordingly, future business and economic conditions, as well as changes in any of the 
assumptions described above, can materially impact the amount of contingent consideration expense we record in any given 
period. 

Accounting for Income Taxes

We must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. 
These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of tax credits, benefits, and deductions, and in the calculation of certain
tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue and expense for tax and 
financial statement purposes, as well as the interest and penalties relating to these uncertain tax positions. We assessed the 
likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and concluded that a valuation allowance is needed to reserve the amount of
the deferred tax assets that may not be realized due to the uncertainty of the timing and amount of the realization of certain state
credit carryovers. In reaching our conclusion, we evaluated certain relevant criteria including the existence of deferred tax 
liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, the taxable income in prior carryback years in the impacted state 
jurisdictions that can be used to absorb net operating losses and taxable income in future years. Our judgments regarding future
profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. These 
changes, if any, may require material adjustments to these deferred tax assets, resulting in a reduction in net income or an 
increase in net loss in the period when such determinations are made, which in turn, may result in an increase or decrease to our
tax provision in a subsequent period. 

39

We account for uncertain tax positions by determining if it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained 

by the appropriate taxing authorities prior to recording any benefit in the financial statements. An uncertain income tax position 
is not recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not 
that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of 
being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those 
income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized
in the financial statements. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors 
including, but not limited to, changes in known facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under 
audit, and new audit activity. A change in these factors would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge
to the tax provision. 

In the ordinary course of global business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is 

uncertain. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of cost reimbursement and royalty arrangements among related 
entities. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these 
matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. In the event our 
assumptions are incorrect, the differences could have a material impact on our income tax provision and operating results in the
period in which such determination is made. In addition to the factors described above, our current and expected effective tax 
rate is based on then-current tax law. Significant changes during the year in enacted tax law could affect these estimates. 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options and related awards is recognized in the statement of 
income. Determining the amount of stock-based compensation to be recorded requires us to develop estimates to be used in 
calculating the grant-date fair value of stock options. We calculate the grant-date fair values using the Black-Scholes valuation
model. The use of valuation models requires us to make estimates of the following items: 

Expected volatility — We are responsible for estimating volatility and have considered a number of factors, including 

third-party estimates, when estimating volatility. We currently believe that the exclusive use of implied volatility results in the 
best estimate of the grant-date fair value of employee stock options because it reflects the market’s current expectations of 
future volatility. In evaluating the appropriateness of exclusively relying on implied volatility, we concluded that: (1) options in 
our common stock are actively traded with sufficient volume on several exchanges; (2) the market prices of both the traded 
options and the underlying shares are measured at a similar point in time to each other and on a date close to the grant date of
the employee share options; (3) the traded options have exercise prices that are both near-the-money and close to the exercise 
price of the employee share options; and (4) the remaining maturities of the traded options used to estimate volatility are at 
least one year. 

Expected term — We use historical employee exercise and option expiration data to estimate the expected term 
assumption for the Black-Scholes grant-date valuation. We believe that this historical data is currently the best estimate of the 
expected term of a new option, and that generally, all of our employees exhibit similar exercise behavior. In general, the longer 
the expected term used in the Black-Scholes valuation model, the higher the grant-date fair value of the option. 

Risk-free interest rate — The yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the 

expected term assumption is used as the risk-free interest rate. 

Expected dividend yield — Expected dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the cash dividend declared by our Board 

of Directors for the current quarter and dividing that result by the closing stock price on the date of grant of the option. Until
such time as our Board of Directors declares a cash dividend for an amount that is different from the current quarter’s cash 
dividend, the current dividend will be used in deriving this assumption. Cash dividends are not paid on options, restricted stock
or restricted stock units. 

The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the 

awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in 
subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or
“expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered option. Based on an analysis of our historical 
forfeitures, we have applied an annual forfeiture rate of 4.4% to all unvested stock-based awards as of November 2, 2013. The 
rate of 4.4% represents the portion that is expected to be forfeited each year over the vesting period. This analysis is re-
evaluated quarterly and the forfeiture rate is adjusted as necessary. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over the vesting
period will only be for those awards that vest. 

40

Contingencies

From time to time, we receive demands from third parties alleging that our products or manufacturing processes infringe 

the patent or intellectual property rights of these parties. We periodically assess each matter to determine if a contingent 
liability should be recorded. In making this determination, we may, depending on the nature of the matter, consult with internal
and external legal counsel and technical experts. Based on the information we obtain, combined with our judgment regarding 
all the facts and circumstances of each matter, we determine whether it is probable that a contingent loss may be incurred and 
whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, we record a 
contingent loss. In determining the amount of a contingent loss, we consider advice received from experts in the specific 
matter, current status of legal proceedings, settlement negotiations that may be ongoing, prior case history and other factors. If 
the judgments and estimates made by us are incorrect, we may need to record additional contingent losses that could materially 
adversely impact our results of operations. 

Post-Retirement Benefits

 We have significant pension costs and liabilities related to our foreign defined benefit pension plans that are developed 

from actuarial valuations specific to each country. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions including discount rates, 
expected return on plan assets, mortality rates, merit and promotion increases. We are required to consider current market 
conditions, including changes in interest rates, in making our assumptions. Changes in the related pension costs or liabilities
may occur in the future due to changes in our assumptions. Our assumptions as to the expected long-term rates of return on 
plan assets are based upon the composition of plan assets, historical long-term rates of return on similar assets and current and 
expected market conditions. The discount rate used for non-U.S. plans reflects the market rate for high-quality fixed-income 
investments on our annual measurement date (November 2) and is subject to change each year. The discount rates used for 
plans outside the U.S. are based on a combination of relevant indices regarding corporate and government securities, the 
duration of the liability and appropriate judgment. Changes in pension income/costs or assets/liabilities may occur in the future
due to changes in the assumptions and changes in asset values.   If the actual results and events of our pension plan differ from 
our current assumptions, our benefit obligations may be over-or under-valued.   See the disclosures about pension obligations, 
the composition of plan assets, assumptions and other matters in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

           We performed a sensitivity analysis on the discount rate and long-term rate of return on assets, which are key 
assumptions in determining our net periodic post-retirement benefit cost. The table below illustrates the impact of an 
increase(decrease) of 25 basis points in these assumptions for the year ended November 2, 2013.

ITEM 7A.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Exposure

Our interest income and expense are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. In this regard, changes in 
interest rates affect the interest earned on our marketable securities and short term investments, as well as the fair value of our 
investments and debt. 

Based on our marketable securities and short-term investments outstanding as of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 

2012, our annual interest income would change by approximately $46 million and $41 million, respectively, for each 100 basis 
point increase in interest rates. 

To provide a meaningful assessment of the interest rate risk associated with our investment portfolio, we performed a 

sensitivity analysis to determine the impact a change in interest rates would have on the value of our investment portfolio 
assuming a 100 basis point parallel shift in the yield curve. Based on investment positions as of November 2, 2013 and 
November 3, 2012, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates across all maturities would result in a $15 million
and $10 million decline, respectively in the fair market value of the portfolio. Such losses would only be realized if we sold the 
investments prior to maturity. 

41

As of November 2, 2013, we had $875 million in principal amount of senior unsecured notes outstanding, which 
consisted of $375 million 3% senior unsecured notes (the 2016 Notes), due April 15, 2016 and $500 million 2.875% senior 
unsecured notes (the 2023 Notes), due June 1, 2023. As of November 2, 2013, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in market 
interest rates would reduce the fair value of our 2016 Notes outstanding by approximately $9 million. As of November 2, 2013, 
a similar increase in market interest rates would reduce the fair value of our 2023 Notes by $41 million.   

Foreign Currency Exposure

As more fully described in Note 2i in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Annual 

Report on Form 10-K, we regularly hedge our non-U.S. dollar-based exposures by entering into forward foreign currency 
exchange contracts. The terms of these contracts are for periods matching the duration of the underlying exposure and generally
range from one month to twelve months. Currently, our largest foreign currency exposure is the Euro, primarily because our 
European operations have the highest proportion of our local currency denominated expenses. Relative to foreign currency 
exposures existing at November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange 
rates over the course of the year would expose us to approximately $2 million and $1 million, respectively, in losses in earnings 
or cash flows. 

The market risk associated with our derivative instruments results from currency exchange rates that are expected to 

offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. The counterparties to the agreements
relating to our foreign exchange instruments consist of a number of major international financial institutions with high credit
ratings. Based on the credit ratings of our counterparties as of November 2, 2013, we do not believe that there is significant risk 
of nonperformance by them. While the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of 
the volume of these transactions, they do not represent the amount of our exposure to credit risk. The amounts potentially 
subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are generally
limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed our obligations to the 
counterparties. 

The following table illustrates the effect that a 10% unfavorable or favorable movement in foreign currency exchange 
rates, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have on the fair value of our forward exchange contracts as of November 2, 2013 and 
November 3, 2012: 

Fair value of forward exchange contracts asset 
Fair value of forward exchange contracts after a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign 
currency exchange rates asset 
Fair value of forward exchange contracts after a 10% favorable movement in foreign 
currency exchange rates liability

The calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In 

addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, such changes typically affect the volume of sales or the foreign 
currency sales price as competitors’ products become more or less attractive. Our sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes
in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency selling prices.

(all tabular amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

1. Description of Business

Analog Devices, Inc. (“Analog Devices” or the “Company”) is a world leader in the design, manufacture and marketing 

of a broad portfolio of high-performance analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing integrated circuits (ICs) used in 
virtually all types of electronic equipment. Since the Company’s inception in 1965, it has focused on solving the engineering 
challenges associated with signal processing in electronic equipment. The Company’s signal processing products play a 
fundamental role in converting, conditioning, and processing real-world phenomena such as temperature, pressure, sound, light, 
speed and motion into electrical signals to be used in a wide array of electronic devices. As new generations of digital 
applications evolve, new needs for high-performance analog signal processing and digital signal processing (DSP) technology 
are generated. As a result, the Company produces a wide range of innovative products — including data converters, amplifiers 
and linear products, radio frequency (RF) ICs, power management products, sensors based on micro-electro mechanical 
systems (MEMS) technology and other sensors, and processing products, including DSP and other processors — that are

• Networking equipment
•   Optical systems
•   Digital cameras
•   Portable electronic devices

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Upon 

consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been 
reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2013 presentation. Such reclassified amounts were immaterial. The Company’s fiscal year 
is the 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal year 2013 and 2011 were 52-
week periods. Fiscal year 2012 was a 53-week period. The additional week in fiscal 2012 was included in the first quarter 
ended February 4, 2012. 

The Company sold its baseband chipset business and related support operations (Baseband Chipset Business) to 

MediaTek Inc. during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company has reflected the financial results of this business as 
discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. The historical results of operations
of this business has been segregated from the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are included in income from 
discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated statements of income. 

b. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturities of three months 

or less at the time of acquisition. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consist primarily of institutional money 
market funds, corporate obligations such as commercial paper and floating rate notes, bonds and bank time deposits. 

The Company classifies its investments in readily marketable debt and equity securities as “held-to-maturity,” “available-

for-sale” or “trading” at the time of purchase. There were no transfers between investment classifications in any of the fiscal
years presented. Held-to-maturity securities, which are carried at amortized cost, include only those securities the Company has
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities such as bank time deposits, which by their nature are typically held 
to maturity, are classified as such. The Company’s other readily marketable cash equivalents and short-term investments are 
classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of 
related tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

The Company’s deferred compensation plan investments are classified as trading. See Note 7 for additional information 

on the Company’s deferred compensation plan investments. There were no cash equivalents or short-term investments 
classified as trading at November 2, 2013 or November 3, 2012. 

The Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment. There were no other-than-temporary impairments of 

short-term investments in any of the fiscal years presented. 

Realized gains or losses recognized in non-operating income from the sales of available-for-sale securities were not 

material during any of the fiscal years presented. 

Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities classified as short-term investments at November 2, 2013 and 

November 3, 2012 were as follows:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The valuation of inventory requires the 

Company to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as inventory that is not of saleable quality. The Company employs a 
variety of methodologies to determine the net realizable value of its inventory. While a portion of the calculation to record 
inventory at its net realizable value is based on the age of the inventory and lower of cost or market calculations, a key factor in 
estimating obsolete or excess inventory requires the Company to estimate the future demand for its products. If actual demand 
is less than the Company’s estimates, impairment charges, which are recorded to cost of sales, may need to be recorded in 
future periods. Inventory in excess of saleable amounts is not valued, and the remaining inventory is valued at the lower of cost
or market.

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less allowances for depreciation. The straight-line method of 
depreciation is used for all classes of assets for financial statement purposes while both straight-line and accelerated methods
are used for income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized based upon the lesser of the term of the lease or the 
useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are based on 
the following useful lives: 

Buildings & building equipment 
Machinery & equipment 
Office equipment

Up to 25 years
3-8 years
3-8 years

Depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment was $110.2 million, $109.7 million and $116.9 million in fiscal 

2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

The Company reviews property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of
their carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic 
lives. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the
carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by 
utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. If such assets are not impaired, but their useful lives have decreased, the remaining 
net book value is amortized over the revised useful life. 

f. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances 

suggest that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the 
reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis on the first day of the 
fourth quarter (on or about August 1) or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For the Company’s latest annual 
impairment assessment that occurred on August 4, 2013, the Company identified its reporting units to be its five operating 
segments, which meet the aggregation criteria for one reportable segment. The performance of the test involves a two-step 
process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their 
aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income 
approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method, as well as other generally accepted 
valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company 
performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the 
goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying 
value of that goodwill. No impairment of goodwill resulted in any of the fiscal years presented.  Upon the sale of the assets and 
intellectual property related to the Company's microphone product line in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, as more fully 
described in Note 17, the Company assessed the goodwill of the remaining reporting unit for impairment. The Company’s next 
annual impairment assessment will be performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 unless indicators arise
that would require the Company to reevaluate at an earlier date. The following table presents the changes in goodwill during 
fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012:

The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate 

that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their 
carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic lives. If 
such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying 
value of the assets exceeds their fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing 
a discounted cash flow technique. As of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets 
consisted of the following which related to the acquisition of Multigig, Inc. See Note 6 below for further information related to 
the acquisition of Multigig, Inc.

2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The remaining amortization expense will be recognized over a period of approximately 3.5 
years.

The Company expects annual amortization expense for intangible assets to be:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis on the first day of the fourth quarter (on or 
about August 1) or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The impairment test involves the comparison of the fair 
values of the intangible assets with their carrying amount. No impairment of intangible assets resulted from the impairment 
tests in any of the fiscal years presented. 

Intangible assets, excluding in-process research and development (IPR&D), are amortized on a straight-line basis over 

their estimated useful lives or on an accelerated method of amortization that is expected to reflect the estimated pattern of 
economic use. IPR&D assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the 
associated R&D efforts. Upon completion of the projects, the IPR&D assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. 

Indefinite-lived intangible assets consisted of $27.8 million of IPR&D as of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, 

respectively.

g. Grant Accounting

Certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have received grants from governmental agencies. These grants include 

capital, employment and research and development grants. Capital grants for the acquisition of property and equipment are 
netted against the related capital expenditures and amortized as a credit to depreciation expense over the useful life of the 
related asset. Employment grants, which relate to employee hiring and training, and research and development grants are 
recognized in earnings in the period in which the related expenditures are incurred by the Company.

h. Translation of Foreign Currencies

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign sales and research and development operations is the applicable local 

currency. Gains and losses resulting from translation of these foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive (loss) income. Transaction gains and losses and re-measurement of foreign currency denominated assets 
and liabilities are included in income currently, including those at the Company’s principal foreign manufacturing operations 
where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses included in other expenses, net,
were not material in fiscal 2013, 2012 or 2011. 

i. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Agreements

Foreign Exchange Exposure Management — The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to 

offset certain operational and balance sheet exposures from the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such 
exposures result from the portion of the Company’s operations, assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other 
than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro; other significant exposures include the Philippine Peso, the Japanese Yen and the 
British Pound. These foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to support transactions made in the normal course of 
business, and accordingly, are not speculative in nature. The contracts are for periods consistent with the terms of the 
underlying transactions, generally one year or less. Hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at
the inception of the respective hedges as cash flow hedges and are evaluated for effectiveness monthly. Derivative instruments 
are employed to eliminate or minimize certain foreign currency exposures that can be confidently identified and quantified. As 
the terms of the contract and the underlying transaction are matched at inception, forward contract effectiveness is calculated by 
comparing the change in fair value of the contract to the change in the forward value of the anticipated transaction, with the 
effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive 
(loss) income (OCI) in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged 
transaction affects earnings. Any residual change in fair value of the instruments, or ineffectiveness, is recognized immediately
in other (income) expense. Additionally, the Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts that economically hedge 
the gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain recorded assets and liabilities in a non-functional currency. 
Changes in the fair value of these undesignated hedges are recognized in other (income) expense immediately as an offset to the
changes in the fair value of the asset or liability being hedged. As of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the total 
notional amount of these undesignated hedges was $33.4 million and $31.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these 
hedging instruments in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012 was 
immaterial. 

Interest Rate Exposure Management — The Company's current and future debt may be subject to interest rate risk.  The 
Company utilizes interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce the effects of these changes. On 
April 24, 2013, the Company entered into a treasury rate lock agreement with Bank of America.  This agreement allowed the 
Company to lock a 10-year US Treasury rate of 1.7845% through June 14, 2013 for its anticipated issuance of the 2023 Notes.  
The Company designated this agreement as a cash flow hedge.  On June 3, 2013, the Company terminated the treasury rate lock 
simultaneously with the issuance of the 2023 Notes which resulted in a gain of approximately $11.0 million.  This gain is being
amortized into interest expense over the 10-year term of the 2023 Notes.  During fiscal 2013 approximately $0.5 million was 
amortized from OCI into interest expense and approximately $1.1 million will be amortized from OCI into interest expense 
within the next 12 months. 

On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions related to its outstanding $375.0 million 
aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes (the 2014 Notes) where the Company swapped the notional amount 
of its $375.0 million of fixed rate debt at 5.0% into floating interest rate debt through July 1, 2014. The Company designated 
these swaps as fair value hedges. The fair value of the swaps at inception was zero and subsequent changes in the fair value of
the interest rate swaps were reflected in the carrying value of the interest rate swaps on the balance sheet. The carrying value of 
the debt on the balance sheet was adjusted by an equal and offsetting amount. The gain or loss on the hedged item (that is, the
fixed-rate borrowings) attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate risk and the offsetting gain or loss on the related 
interest rate swaps for fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2011 was as follows:

          The amounts earned and owed under the swap agreements were accrued each period and were reported in interest 
expense. There was no ineffectiveness recognized in any of the periods presented. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the 
Company terminated the interest rate swap agreement. The Company received $19.8 million in cash proceeds from the swap 
termination, which included $1.3 million in accrued interest. The proceeds, net of interest received, are disclosed in cash flows

from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of the termination, the carrying value of the
2014 Notes was adjusted for the change in the fair value of the interest component of the debt up to the date of the termination
of the swap in an amount equal to the fair value of the swap, to be amortized to earnings as a reduction of interest expense over
the remaining life of the debt. During fiscal year 2013 and 2012, $4.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, were amortized 
into earnings as a reduction of interest expense related to the swap termination. This amortization is reflected in the 
consolidated statements of cash flows within operating activities. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, in conjunction with
the redemption of the 2014 Notes, the Company recognized the remaining $8.6 million in unamortized proceeds received from 
the termination of the interest rate swap as other, net expense.  

The market risk associated with the Company’s derivative instruments results from currency exchange rate or interest rate 

movements that are expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. The 
counterparties to the agreements relating to the Company’s derivative instruments consist of a number of major international 
financial institutions with high credit ratings. Based on the credit ratings of the Company’s counterparties as of November 2, 
2013, nonperformance is not perceived to be a significant risk. Furthermore, none of the Company’s derivatives are subject to 
collateral or other security arrangements and none contain provisions that are dependent on the Company’s credit ratings from 
any credit rating agency. While the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of the
volume of these transactions, they do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to credit risk. The amounts 
potentially subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are 
generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the obligations of
the Company to the counterparties. As a result of the above considerations, the Company does not consider the risk of 
counterparty default to be significant. 

The Company records the fair value of its derivative financial instruments in its consolidated financial statements in other 
current assets, other assets or accrued liabilities, depending on their net position, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding 
the derivative contract. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in
earnings or in shareholders’ equity as a component of OCI. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI 
and reclassified into earnings when the underlying contract matures. Changes in the fair values of derivatives not qualifying for 
hedge accounting are reported in earnings as they occur. 

The total notional amounts of forward foreign currency derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments of cash 

flow hedges denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Philippine Pesos and Japanese Yen as of November 2, 2013 and 
November 3, 2012 was $196.9 million and $151.8 million, respectively. The fair values of these hedging instruments in the 
Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012 were as follows:

j. Fair Value

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be 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 or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). 

Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the 

reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. 

Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or 

liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be
observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. 

Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity 

for the asset or liability at the measurement date. 

The tables below, set forth by level, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, excluding accrued interest 
components, that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012. The 
tables exclude cash on hand and assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value. As of 
November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the Company held $45.6 million and $38.9 million, respectively, of cash and held-
to-maturity investments that were excluded from the tables below.

(1)  The amortized cost of the Company’s investments classified as available-for-sale as of November 3, 2012 was $3,327.5 

million.

(2)  The Company has a master netting arrangement by counterparty with respect to derivative contracts. As of November 3, 
2012, contracts in a liability position of $1.9 million were netted against contracts in an asset position in the consolidated 
balance sheet.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial 

instruments:

Cash equivalents and short-term investments — These investments are adjusted to fair value based on quoted market 

prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates.

Deferred compensation plan investments — The fair value of these mutual fund, money market fund and equity 

investments are based on quoted market prices.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts — The estimated fair value of forward foreign currency exchange 
contracts, which includes derivatives that are accounted for as cash flow hedges and those that are not designated as cash flow 
hedges, is based on the estimated amount the Company would receive if it sold these agreements at the reporting date taking 
into consideration current interest rates as well as the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets and the Company’s 
creditworthiness for liabilities.

Contingent consideration — The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated utilizing the income approach 

and is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market. The income approach is based on two steps. The first step 
involves a projection of the cash flows that is based on the Company’s estimates of the timing and probability of achieving the 

56

 
 
 
 
 
ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

defined milestones. The second step involves converting the cash flows into a present value equivalent through discounting. 
The discount rate reflects the Baa costs of debt plus the relevant risk associated with the asset and the time value of money. 

          The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration encompasses the following significant unobservable inputs:

Unobservable Inputs
Estimated contingent consideration payments 
Discount rate 
Timing of cash flows 
Probability of achievement

Range
$7,000 
8% - 10% 
1 - 23 months
100% 

Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date that are primarily driven by 

assumptions pertaining to the achievement of the defined milestones will be recognized in operating income in the period of the
estimated fair value change. Significant increases or decreases in any of the inputs in isolation may result in a fluctuation in the 
fair value measurement. 

The following table summarizes the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration measured using significant 

unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of November 3, 2012 and November 2, 2013:

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

On June 30, 2009, the Company issued the 2014 Notes with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on January 1 and 
July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2010. On June 6, 2013, the Company redeemed the 2014 Notes. Based on quotes 
received from third-party banks, the fair value of the 2014 Notes as of November 3, 2012 was $402.5 million and is classified 
as a Level 1 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy. 

On April 4, 2011, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due 

April 15, 2016 (the 2016 Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on April 15 and October 15 of each year, 
commencing October 15, 2011. Based on quotes received from third-party banks, the fair value of the 2016 Notes as of 
November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012 was $392.8 million and $402.3 million, respectively and is classified as a Level 1 
measurement according to the fair value hierarchy. 

On June 3, 2013, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% senior unsecured notes due 

June 1, 2023 (the 2023 Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on June 1 and December 1 of each year, 
commencing December 1, 2013. Based on quotes received from third-party banks, the fair value of the 2023 Notes as of 
November 2, 2013 was $466.0 million and is classified as a Level 1 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

k. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting 
period. Such estimates relate to the useful lives of fixed assets and identified intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts 
and customer returns, the net realizable value of inventory, potential reserves relating to litigation matters, accrued liabilities, 
accrued taxes, deferred tax valuation allowances, assumptions pertaining to share-based payments and other reserves. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. 

l. Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of 

investments and trade accounts receivable. 

The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments with high credit quality 
counterparties, continuously monitors the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and diversifies its investments in order to 
minimize its credit risk. 

The Company sells its products to distributors and original equipment manufacturers involved in a variety of industries 

including industrial process automation, instrumentation, defense/aerospace, automotive, communications, computers and 
computer peripherals and consumer electronics. The Company has adopted credit policies and standards to accommodate 
growth in these markets. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and 
although the Company generally does not require collateral, the Company may require letters of credit from customers in 
certain circumstances. The Company provides reserves for estimated amounts of accounts receivable that may not be collected. 

m. Concentration of Other Risks

The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change, competitive pricing pressures and cyclical 

market patterns. The Company’s financial results are affected by a wide variety of factors, including general economic 
conditions worldwide, economic conditions specific to the semiconductor industry, the timely implementation of new 
manufacturing technologies, the ability to safeguard patents and intellectual property in a rapidly evolving market and reliance
on assembly and test subcontractors, third-party wafer fabricators and independent distributors. In addition, the semiconductor
market has historically been cyclical and subject to significant economic downturns at various times. The Company is exposed 
to the risk of obsolescence of its inventory depending on the mix of future business. Additionally, a large portion of the 
Company’s purchases of external wafer and foundry services are from a limited number of suppliers, primarily Taiwan 
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). If TSMC or any of the Company’s other key suppliers are unable or 
unwilling to manufacture and deliver sufficient quantities of components, on the time schedule and of the quality that the 
Company requires, the Company may be forced to engage additional or replacement suppliers, which could result in significant 
expenses and disruptions or delays in manufacturing, product development and shipment of product to the Company’s 
customers. Although the Company has experienced shortages of components, materials and external foundry services from time 
to time, these items have generally been available to the Company as needed. 

n. Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales to customers is generally recognized when title passes, which for shipments to certain foreign 

countries is subsequent to product shipment. Title for these shipments ordinarily passes within a week of shipment. A reserve 
for sales returns and allowances for customers is recorded based on historical experience or specific identification of an event
necessitating a reserve. 

In all regions of the world, the Company defers revenue and the related cost of sales on shipments to distributors until the 
distributors resell the products to their customers. As a result, the Company’s revenue fully reflects end customer purchases and 
is not impacted by distributor inventory levels. Sales to distributors are made under agreements that allow distributors to receive
price-adjustment credits, as discussed below, and to return qualifying products for credit, as determined by the Company, in 
order to reduce the amounts of slow-moving, discontinued or obsolete product from their inventory. These agreements limit 
such returns to a certain percentage of the value of the Company’s shipments to that distributor during the prior quarter. In 
addition, distributors are allowed to return unsold products if the Company terminates the relationship with the distributor.  

Distributors are granted price-adjustment credits for sales to their customers when the distributor’s standard cost (i.e., the 

Company’s sales price to the distributor) does not provide the distributor with an appropriate margin on its sales to its  

58

ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

customers. As distributors negotiate selling prices with their customers, the final sales price agreed upon with the customer will
be influenced by many factors, including the particular product being sold, the quantity ordered, the particular customer, the 
geographic location of the distributor and the competitive landscape. As a result, the distributor may request and receive a 
price-adjustment credit from the Company to allow the distributor to earn an appropriate margin on the transaction. 

Distributors are also granted price-adjustment credits in the event of a price decrease subsequent to the date the product 

was shipped and billed to the distributor. Generally, the Company will provide a credit equal to the difference between the price
paid by the distributor (less any prior credits on such products) and the new price for the product multiplied by the quantity of
the specific product in the distributor’s inventory at the time of the price decrease. 

Given the uncertainties associated with the levels of price-adjustment credits to be granted to distributors, the sales price 

to the distributor is not fixed or determinable until the distributor resells the products to their customers. Therefore, the 
Company defers revenue recognition from sales to distributors until the distributors have sold the products to their customers.

Title to the inventory transfers to the distributor at the time of shipment or delivery to the distributor, and payment from 

the distributor is due in accordance with the Company’s standard payment terms. These payment terms are not contingent upon 
the distributors’ sale of the products to their customers. Upon title transfer to distributors, inventory is reduced for the cost of 
goods shipped, the margin (sales less cost of sales) is recorded as “deferred income on shipments to distributors, net” and an 
account receivable is recorded. Shipping costs are charged to cost of sales as incurred. 

The deferred costs of sales to distributors have historically had very little risk of impairment due to the margins the 
Company earns on sales of its products and the relatively long life-cycle of the Company’s products. Product returns from 
distributors that are ultimately scrapped have historically been immaterial. In addition, price protection and price-adjustment
credits granted to distributors historically have not exceeded the margins the Company earns on sales of its products. The 
Company continuously monitors the level and nature of product returns and is in frequent contact with the distributors to ensure
reserves are established for all known material issues. 

As of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the Company had gross deferred revenue of $309.2 million and $299.0 

million, respectively, and gross deferred cost of sales of $61.8 million and $60.5 million, respectively. Deferred income on 
shipments to distributors increased in fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of a mix shift in favor of higher margin products sold into 
the channel.  

The Company generally offers a twelve-month warranty for its products. The Company’s warranty policy provides for 

replacement of defective products. Specific accruals are recorded for known product warranty issues. Product warranty 
expenses during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 were not material. 

o. Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Other comprehensive (loss) income includes certain transactions that have generally been reported in the consolidated 

statement of shareholders’ equity. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss at November 2, 2013 and 
November 3, 2012 consisted of the following, net of tax: 

Foreign currency translation adjustment
Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities 
Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities 
Unrealized gains on derivative instruments

       As of November 2, 2013, the Company held 137 investment securities, 31 of which were in an unrealized loss position 
with gross unrealized losses of $0.5 million and an aggregate fair value of  $972.2 million.  As of November 3, 2012, the 
Company held 88 investment securities, 29 of which were in an unrealized loss position with gross unrealized losses of $0.5 
million and an aggregate fair value of  $1,214.1 million. These unrealized losses were primarily related to corporate obligations 
that earn lower interest rates than current market rates. None of these investments have been in a loss position for more than 
twelve months. As the Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is unlikely that the Company will be required 

59

ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized basis, which will be at maturity, the Company does not consider those
investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at  November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012. 

p. Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $3.3 million in fiscal 2013, $3.9 

million in fiscal 2012 and $4.2 million in fiscal 2011. 

q.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax basis of 
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted income tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the 
temporary differences are expected to reverse. Additionally, deferred tax assets and liabilities are separated into current and
non-current amounts based on the classification of the related assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. 

r. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during 

the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during 
the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock relating to stock option programs and other 
potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect of 
stock options is computed using the average market price for the respective period. In addition, the assumed proceeds under the
treasury stock method include the average unrecognized compensation expense of stock options that are in-the-money and 
restricted stock units. This results in the “assumed” buyback of additional shares, thereby reducing the dilutive impact of in-the-
money stock options. Potential shares related to certain of the Company’s outstanding stock options were excluded because 
they were anti-dilutive. Those potential shares, determined based on the weighted average exercise prices during the respective
years, related to the Company’s outstanding stock options could be dilutive in the future. 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the grant-date fair value of the awards ultimately 
expected to vest, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally five years
for stock options and three years for restricted stock units. Determining the amount of stock-based compensation to be recorded
requires the Company to develop estimates used in calculating the grant-date fair value of stock options. The Company 
calculates the grant-date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The use of valuation models 
requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions such as expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, 
expected dividend yield and forfeiture rates. The grant-date fair value of restricted stock units represents the value of the 
Company's common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the Company's 
common stock prior to vesting. 

See Note 3 for additional information relating to stock-based compensation. 

t. New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Implemented

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-

05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU No. 2011-05). ASU No. 2011-05 amended Accounting Standards 
Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income, to converge the presentation of comprehensive income between U.S. GAAP 
and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single 
continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and requires reclassification 
adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements where the 
components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the 
option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement in changes of stockholders' equity. 
ASU No. 2011-05 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, 
which was the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 
affected the presentation of comprehensive income but did not impact the Company’s financial condition or results of 
operations. 

Standards to be Implemented

Balance Sheet

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 

No. 2011-11). ASU No. 2011-11 amended ASC 210, Balance Sheet, to converge the presentation of offsetting assets and 
liabilities between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-11 requires that entities disclose both gross information and net 
information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and
transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013, which is the Company’s fiscal year 2014. Subsequently, in 
January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about offsetting Assets and Liabilities,
which clarifies that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, 
Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase 
agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-
20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The adoption of ASU 
No. 2011-11 and ASU No. 2013-01 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 will require additional disclosures related to offsetting 
assets and liabilities but will not impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 

Comprehensive Income

 In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other 
Comprehensive Income (ASU No. 2013-02), which seeks to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other 
comprehensive income by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other 
comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP 
to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in
their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required 
under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-02 supersede the 
presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU No. 2011-05, 
Presentation of Comprehensive Income, and ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the 
Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

No. 2011-05. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after 
December 15, 2012, which is the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 in the first 
quarter of fiscal 2014 will affect the presentation of comprehensive income but will not impact the Company's financial 
condition or results of operations.

Income Taxes

 In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating 

Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU No. 2013-11).   ASU No. 2013-11 requires 
that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented as a reduction to a deferred
tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. ASU 
No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which is 
the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 will affect
the presentation of our unrecognized tax benefits but will not impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

u. Discontinued Operations

In September 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Baseband Chipset Business to MediaTek 

Inc. The decision to sell the Baseband Chipset Business was due to the Company’s decision to focus its resources in areas 
where its signal processing expertise can provide unique capabilities and earn superior returns. During fiscal 2008, the 
Company completed the sale of its Baseband Chipset Business for net cash proceeds of $269 million. The Company made cash 
payments of $1.7 million during fiscal 2009 related to retention payments for employees who transferred to MediaTek Inc. and 
for the reimbursement of intellectual property license fees incurred by MediaTek. During fiscal 2010, the Company received 
cash proceeds of $62 million as a result of the receipt of a refundable withholding tax and also recorded an additional gain on
sale of $0.3 million, or $0.2 million net of tax, due to the settlement of certain items at less than the amounts accrued. In fiscal
2011, additional proceeds of $10 million were released from escrow and $6.5 million net of tax was recorded as additional gain 
from the sale of discontinued operations. The Company does not expect any additional proceeds from this sale. 

The following amounts related to the Baseband Chipset Business have been segregated from continuing operations and 

reported as discontinued operations.

The Company grants, or has granted, stock options and other stock and stock-based awards under The 2006 Stock 
Incentive Plan (2006 Plan). The 2006 Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 23, 2006 and was 
approved by shareholders on March 14, 2006 and subsequently amended in March 2006, June 2009, September 2009, 
December 2009, December 2010 and June 2011. The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of up to 15 million shares of the 
Company’s common stock, plus such number of additional shares that were subject to outstanding options under the 
Company’s previous plans that are not issued because the applicable option award subsequently terminates or expires without 
being exercised. The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted
stock units and other stock-based awards. Employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its 
subsidiaries are eligible to be granted awards under the 2006 Plan. No award may be made under the 2006 Plan after March 13, 
2016, but awards previously granted may extend beyond that date. The Company will not grant further options under any 
previous plans. 

 While the Company may grant to employees options that become exercisable at different times or within different 
periods, the Company has generally granted to employees options that vest over five years and become exercisable in annual 
installments of 20% on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant; 33.3% on each of the 
third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant; or in annual installments of 25% on each of the second, third, fourth 
and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. The maximum contractual term of all options is ten years. In addition, the Company
has granted to employees restricted stock units that generally vest in one installment on the third anniversary of the grant date.

As of November 2, 2013, a total of 3,353,057 common shares were available for future grant under the 2006 Plan and 

24,837,852 common shares were reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan and the Company's previous plans. 

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the grant-date fair value of the awards ultimately 

expected to vest, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally five years
for stock options and three years for restricted stock units. Determining the amount of stock-based compensation to be recorded
requires the Company to develop estimates used in calculating the grant-date fair value of stock options.

Expected volatility — The Company is responsible for estimating volatility and has considered a number of factors, 

including third-party estimates. The Company currently believes that the exclusive use of implied volatility results in the best
estimate of the grant-date fair value of employee stock options because it reflects the market’s current expectations of future
volatility. In evaluating the appropriateness of exclusively relying on implied volatility, the Company concluded that: 
(1) options in the Company’s common stock are actively traded with sufficient volume on several exchanges; (2) the market 
prices of both the traded options and the underlying shares are measured at a similar point in time to each other and on a date
close to the grant date of the employee share options; (3) the traded options have exercise prices that are both near-the-money
and close to the exercise price of the employee share options; and (4) the remaining maturities of the traded options used to 
estimate volatility are at least one year. 

Expected term — The Company uses historical employee exercise and option expiration data to estimate the expected 

term assumption for the Black-Scholes grant-date valuation. The Company believes that this historical data is currently the best
estimate of the expected term of a new option, and that generally its employees exhibit similar exercise behavior. 

Risk-free interest rate — The yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the 

expected term assumption is used as the risk-free interest rate. 

Expected dividend yield — Expected dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the cash dividend declared by the 
Company’s Board of Directors for the current quarter and dividing that result by the closing stock price on the date of grant. 
Until such time as the Company’s Board of Directors declares a cash dividend for an amount that is different from the current 
quarter’s cash dividend, the current dividend will be used in deriving this assumption. Cash dividends are not paid on options,
restricted stock or restricted stock units. 

      Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the awards that are 

ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if
actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and 
represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock-based award. Based on an analysis of its historical forfeitures, the 
Company has applied an annual forfeiture rate of 4.4% to all unvested stock-based awards as of November 2, 2013. The rate of 
4.4% represents the portion that is expected to be forfeited each year over the vesting period. This analysis will be re-evaluated 
quarterly and the forfeiture rate will be adjusted as necessary. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over the vesting period 
will only be for those options that vest.

     Additional paid-in-capital (APIC) Pool

The APIC pool represents the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation that are available to absorb future 

tax deficiencies. If the amount of future tax deficiencies is greater than the available APIC pool, the Company records the 
excess as income tax expense in its consolidated statements of income. For fiscal year 2013, the Company had a sufficient 
APIC pool to cover any tax deficiencies recorded and as a result, these deficiencies did not affect its results of operations. 
During fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized an immaterial amount of income tax expense resulting from tax 
shortfalls related to share-based compensation in its consolidated statements of income.

average period of 1.4 years. The total grant-date fair value of shares that vested during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 
approximately $63.9 million, $48.6 million and $49.6 million, respectively. 

       Common Stock Repurchase Program

 The Company’s common stock repurchase program has been in place since August 2004. In the aggregate, the Board of 

Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase $5.0 billion of the Company’s common stock under the program. Under 
the program, the Company may repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

through privately negotiated transactions. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, the 
repurchase program will expire when the Company has repurchased all shares authorized under the program. As of 
November 2, 2013, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 130.1 million shares of its common stock for 
approximately $4,481.6 million under this program. An additional $518.4 million remains available for repurchase of shares 
under the current authorized program. The repurchased shares are held as authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The 
Company also, from time to time, repurchases shares in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the 
vesting of restricted stock units or the exercise of stock options.  The withholding amount is based on the Company's minimum 
statutory withholding requirement. Any future common stock repurchases will be dependent upon several factors, including the 
Company's financial performance, outlook, liquidity and the amount of cash the Company has available in the United States.  

        Preferred Stock

         The Company has 471,934 authorized shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock, none of which is issued or outstanding. 
The Board of Directors is authorized to fix designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations on the preferred stock at
the time of issuance.

Revenue Trends by End Market

The following table summarizes revenue by end market. The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using 

a variety of data points including the technical characteristics of the product, the “sold to” customer information, the “ship to” 
customer information and the end customer product or application into which the Company’s product will be incorporated. As 
data systems for capturing and tracking this data evolve and improve, the categorization of products by end market can vary 
over time. When this occurs, the Company reclassifies revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically
do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.

Revenue Trends by Product Type

The following table summarizes revenue by product categories. The categorization of the Company’s products into broad 

categories is based on the characteristics of the individual products, the specification of the products and in some cases the 
specific uses that certain products have within applications. The categorization of products into categories is therefore subject to 
judgment in some cases and can vary over time. In instances where products move between product categories, the Company 
reclassifies the amounts in the product categories for all prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change
the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each product category.

million for the write-off of property, plant and equipment; $0.5 million for contract termination costs and $0.3 million for 
clean-up and closure costs that were expensed as incurred; and $0.5 million related to the impairment of intellectual property.
The Company terminated the employment of all employees associated with these actions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

During fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a special charge of approximately $2.2 million for severance and fringe 
benefit costs in accordance with its ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 25 engineering and
SMG&A employees. The Company terminated the employment of all employees associated with these actions.   

During fiscal 2012, the Company recorded special charges of approximately $8.4 million. The special charges included 

$7.9 million for severance and fringe benefit costs in accordance with its ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at 
foreign locations for 95 manufacturing, engineering and SMG&A employees; $0.1 million for contract termination costs; $0.2 
million for lease obligation costs for facilities that the Company ceased using during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and $0.2
million for the write-off of property, plant and equipment. The Company terminated the employment of all employees 
associated with this action.  

          During the fiscal 2013, the Company recorded special charges of approximately $29.8 million for severance and fringe 
benefit costs in accordance with its ongoing benefit plan or statutory requirements at foreign locations for 235 engineering and
SMG&A employees. As of November 2, 2013, the Company still employed  98 of the 235 employees included in this cost 
reduction action.  These employees must continue to be employed by the Company until their employment is involuntarily 
terminated in order to receive the severance benefit. 

6.  

Acquisitions 

On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired privately-held Multigig, Inc. (Multigig) of San Jose, California. The 
acquisition of Multigig is expected to enhance the Company’s clocking capabilities in stand-alone and embedded applications 
and strengthen the Company’s high speed signal processing solutions. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration 
transferred totaled $26.8 million, which consisted of $24.2 million in initial cash payments at closing and an additional $2.6 
million subject to an indemnification holdback that was payable within 15 months of the transaction date. During the third 
quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reduced this holdback amount by $0.1 million as a result of indemnification claims. 
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company paid the remaining $2.5 million due under the holdback. The Company’s 
assessment of fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair
values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $15.6 million of IPR&D, $1.1 million of developed technology,
$7.0 million of goodwill and $3.1 million of net deferred tax assets. The goodwill recognized is attributable to future 
technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of Multigig. Future technologies do not meet 
the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business.
None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company 
finalized its purchase accounting for Multigig which resulted in adjustments of $0.4 million to deferred taxes and goodwill. In
addition, the Company will be obligated to pay royalties to the Multigig employees on revenue recognized from the sale of 
certain Multigig products through the earlier of 5 years or the aggregate maximum payment of $1.0 million. Royalty payments 
to Multigig employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered and, as such, the Company will record these amounts as 
compensation expense in the related periods. As of November 2, 2013, no royalty payments have been made. The Company 
recognized $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in fiscal 2012, which were included in operating 
expenses in the consolidated statement of income. 

On June 9, 2011, the Company acquired privately-held Lyric Semiconductor, Inc. (Lyric) of Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

The acquisition of Lyric gives the Company the potential to achieve significant improvement in power efficiency in mixed 
signal processing. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $27.8 million, which consisted of 
$14.0 million in initial cash payments at closing and contingent consideration of up to $13.8 million. The contingent 
consideration arrangement requires additional cash payments to the former equity holders of Lyric upon the achievement of 
certain technological and product development milestones payable during the period from June 2011 through June 2016. The 
Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement utilizing the income approach. Changes in the 
fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date primarily driven by assumptions pertaining to the
achievement of the defined milestones will be recognized in operating income in the period of the estimated fair value change. 
As of November 2, 2013, the Company had paid $8.0 million in contingent consideration. These payments are reflected in the 
statements of cash flows as cash used in financing activities related to the liability recognized at fair value as of the acquisition 
date and cash provided by operating activities related to the fair value adjustments previously recognized in earnings. The 
Company’s assessment of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on their
estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $12.2 million of IPR&D, $18.9 million of 
goodwill and $3.3 million of net deferred tax liabilities. The goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have 
yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of Lyric. Future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition 
separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. None of the goodwill is 
expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was approximately $6.5 
million as of November 2, 2013, of which $3.8 million is included in accrued liabilities and $2.7 million is included in other 

68

non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company will be obligated to pay royalties to the 
former equity holders of Lyric on revenue recognized from the sale of Lyric products and licenses through the earlier of 20 
years or the accrual of a maximum of $25.0 million. Royalty payments to Lyric employees require post-acquisition services to 
be rendered and, as such, the Company will record these amounts as compensation expense in the related periods. As of 
November 2, 2013, no royalty payments have been made. The Company recognized $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs 
that were expensed in fiscal 2011, which were included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income. 

The Company has not provided pro forma results of operations for Multigig and Lyric herein as they were not material to 
the Company on either an individual or an aggregate basis. The Company included the results of operations of each acquisition 
in its consolidated statement of income from the date of each acquisition.

The fair values of these investments are based on published market quotes on November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, 
respectively. Adjustments to the fair value of, and income pertaining to, Deferred Compensation Plan investments are recorded 
in operating expenses. Gross realized and unrealized gains and losses from trading securities were not material in fiscal 2013,
2012 or 2011. 

The Company has recorded a corresponding liability for amounts owed to the Deferred Compensation Plan participants 

(see Note 10). These investments are specifically designated as available to the Company solely for the purpose of paying 
benefits under the Deferred Compensation Plan. However, in the event the Company became insolvent, the investments would 
be available to all unsecured general creditors. 

8. 

Other Investments

Other investments consist of equity securities and other long-term investments. Investments are stated at fair value, which 

is based on market quotes or on a cost-basis, dependent on the nature of the investment, as appropriate. Adjustments to the fair
value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded as an increase or decrease in accumulated other 
comprehensive (loss) income, unless the adjustment is considered an other-than-temporary impairment, in which case the 
adjustment is recorded as a charge in the statement of income. 

Realized gains or losses on investments are determined based on the specific identification basis and are recognized in 

nonoperating (income) expense. Gross realized gains of approximately $1.3 million and gross realized losses of approximately 
$0.1 million on sales of available-for-sale investments were recognized in fiscal 2012. There were no material net realized 
gains or losses from the sales of available-for-sale investments during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2011. 

There were no net unrealized gains or losses on securities classified as other investments as of November 2, 2013 and 

November 3, 2012.

10.  Deferred Compensation Plan Liability

The deferred compensation plan liability relates to obligations due under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Deferred 

Compensation Plan allows certain members of management and other highly-compensated employees and non-employee 
directors to defer receipt of all or any portion of their compensation. The balance represents Deferred Compensation Plan 
participant accumulated deferrals and earnings thereon since the inception of the Deferred Compensation Plan net of 
withdrawals. The Company’s liability under the Deferred Compensation Plan is an unsecured general obligation of the 
Company. 

11.  Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain facilities, equipment and software under various operating leases that expire at various dates 

through 2020. The lease agreements frequently include renewal and escalation clauses and require the Company to pay taxes, 
insurance and maintenance costs. Total rental expense under operating leases was approximately $49 million in fiscal 2013, 
$48 million in fiscal 2012 and $45 million in fiscal 2011. 

The following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments required under long-term operating leases at

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, various claims, charges and litigation are asserted 

or commenced against the Company arising from, or related to, contractual matters, patents, trademarks, personal injury, 
environmental matters, product liability, insurance coverage and personnel and employment disputes. As to such claims and 
litigation, the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail. The Company does not believe that any current legal matters
will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

13.  Retirement Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries have various savings and retirement plans covering substantially all employees. The 

Company maintains a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its eligible U.S. employees. This plan provides for Company 
contributions of up to 5% of each participant’s total eligible compensation. In addition, the Company contributes an amount 
equal to each participant’s pre-tax contribution, if any, up to a maximum of 3% of each participant’s total eligible 
compensation. The total expense related to the defined contribution plan for U.S. employees was $23.1 million in fiscal 2013, 
$22.8 million in fiscal 2012 and $21.9 million in fiscal 2011. The Company also has various defined benefit pension and other 
retirement plans for certain non-U.S. employees that are consistent with local statutory requirements and practices. The total 
expense related to the various defined benefit pension and other retirement plans for certain non-U.S. employees was $26.5 
million in fiscal 2013, $18.9 million in fiscal 2012 and $21.4 million in fiscal 2011. 

Non-U.S. Plan Disclosures

The Company’s funding policy for its foreign defined benefit pension plans is consistent with the local requirements of 
each country. The plans’ assets consist primarily of U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities, bonds, property and cash. The benefit
obligations and related assets under these plans have been measured at November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012.

Assumptions

The range of assumptions used for the non-U.S. defined benefit plans reflects the different economic environments within 

the various countries. The projected benefit obligation was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions: 

Discount rate 
Rate of increase in compensation levels 

2013 

2012 

4.05% 
2.84% 

4.55%
2.85%

Net annual periodic pension cost was determined using the following weighted average assumptions: 

Discount rate 
Expected long-term return on plan assets 
Rate of increase in compensation levels 

2013 

2012 

4.55% 
5.59% 
2.85% 

5.60%
5.71%
3.07%

The expected long-term rate of return on assets is a weighted-average of the long-term rates of return selected for the 

various countries where the Company has funded pension plans. The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is 
selected based on the facts and circumstances that exist as of the measurement date and the specific portfolio mix of plan 
assets. Management, in conjunction with its actuaries, reviewed anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset 
categories and considered the asset allocation strategy adopted by the Company and/or the trustees of the plans. While the 
review considered recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term prospective rate. 

The Company’s investment strategy is based on an expectation that equity securities will outperform debt securities over 
the long term. Accordingly, in order to maximize the return on assets, a majority of assets are invested in equities. Investments
within each asset class are diversified to reduce the impact of losses in single investments. The use of derivative instruments is 
permitted where appropriate and necessary to achieve overall investment policy objectives and asset class targets. 

The Company establishes strategic asset allocation percentage targets and appropriate benchmarks for each significant 
asset class to obtain a prudent balance between return and risk. The interaction between plan assets and benefit obligations is
periodically studied by the Company and its actuaries to assist in the establishment of strategic asset allocation targets.

(1) The majority of the assets in these categories are invested in a mix of equities, including those from North America, 
Europe and Asia. The funds are valued using the net asset value method in which an average of the market prices for 
underlying investments is used to value the fund. Due to the nature of the underlying assets of these funds, changes in 
market conditions and the economic environment may significantly impact the net asset value of these investments and, 
consequently, the fair value of the investments. These investments are redeemable at net asset value to the extent provided 
in the documentation governing the investments. However, these redemption rights may be restricted in accordance with 
governing documents. Publicly traded securities are valued at the last trade or closing price reported in the active market 
in which the individual securities are traded. Level 3 securities are valued at book value per share based upon the financial 
statements of the investment. 

(2) The majority of the assets in this category are invested in funds primarily concentrated in non-U.S. debt instruments. The 
funds are valued using the net asset value method in which an average of the market prices for underlying investments is 
used to value the fund. 

(3) The majority of the assets in this category are invested in properties in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Europe and other 
established international markets. Investments in properties are stated at estimated fair values based upon valuations by 
external independent property appraisers.

The Company continues to intend to reinvest certain of its foreign earnings indefinitely. Accordingly, no U.S. income 

taxes have been provided for approximately $3,761.6 million of unremitted earnings of international subsidiaries. As of 
November 2, 2013, the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these earnings was $1,018.4 million. 

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities for the fiscal years ended November 2, 

2013 and November 3, 2012 are as follows:

The valuation allowances of $43.5 million and $37.4 million at November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, respectively, 

are valuation allowances for the Company’s state credit carryovers that began expiring in 2008. 

The Company has provided for potential tax liabilities due in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. 
Judgment is required in determining the worldwide income tax expense provision. In the ordinary course of global business, 
there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these uncertainties arise as a
consequence of cost reimbursement arrangements among related entities. Although the Company believes its estimates are 
reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is 
reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the Company’s 
income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made. 

As of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the Company had a liability of $62.3 million and $7.1 million, 
respectively, for unrealized tax benefits, all of which, if settled in the Company’s favor, would lower the Company’s effective
tax rate in the period recorded. In addition, as of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, the Company had a liability of 
approximately $10.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for interest and penalties. The Company includes interest and 
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes in the consolidated statements of income. The total
liability as of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012 of $71.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, for uncertain tax 
positions is classified as non-current, and is included in other non-current liabilities, because the Company believes that the
ultimate payment or settlement of these liabilities may not occur within the next twelve months. The consolidated statements of
income for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 include $7.1 million, ($7.1) million and $0.9 million, respectively, of interest and
penalties related to these uncertain tax positions. Over the next fiscal year, the Company anticipates the liability to be reduced 
by $1.3 million for the possible expiration of an income tax statute of limitations. 

The following table summarizes the changes in the total amounts of unrealized tax benefits for fiscal 2011 through fiscal 

2013.

The Company has filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court for one open matter for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 that pertains 

to Section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code related to the beneficial tax treatment of dividends paid from foreign owned 
companies under The American Jobs Creation Act. The potential liability for this adjustment is $36.5 million. On September 
18, 2013, in a matter not involving the Company, the U.S. Tax Court held that accounts receivable created under Rev. Proc. 99-
32 may constitute indebtedness for purposes of Section 965 (b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and that the IRS was not 
precluded from reducing the beneficial dividend received deduction because of the increase in related-party indebtedness 
(BMC Software Inc. v Commissioner, 141 T.C. No. 5 2013). After analyzing the Tax Court’s decision, the Company has 
determined that its tax position with respect to the Section 965(b)(3) no longer meets the more likely than not standard of 
recognition for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $36.5 million reserve for this matter in the fourth 
quarter of 2013. 

All of the Company's U.S. federal tax returns prior to fiscal year 2010 are no longer subject to examination. 

All of the Company's Ireland tax returns prior to fiscal year 2009 are no longer subject to examination. 

15.  Revolving Credit Facility

As of November 2, 2013, the Company had $4,682.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, of 
which $1,318.9 million was held in the United States. The balance of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term 
investments was held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. As the Company intends to reinvest its foreign 
earnings indefinitely, this cash is not available to meet the Company's cash requirements in the United States, including cash 
dividends and common stock repurchases. During December 2012, the Company terminated its five-year, $165.0 million 
unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders entered into in May 2008. On December 19, 2012, the 
Company entered into a five-year, $500.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders 
(the Credit Agreement). To date, the Company has not borrowed under this credit facility but the Company may borrow in the 
future and use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, 
working capital and other lawful corporate purposes. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement (other than swing line loans) 
bear interest, at the Company's option, at either a rate equal to (a) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 
a margin based on the Company's debt rating or (b) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of (i) the Bank of America prime rate,
(ii) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus .50% or (iii) one month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus 
a margin based on the Company's debt rating. The terms of the facility impose restrictions on the Company’s ability to 
undertake certain transactions, to create certain liens on assets and to incur certain subsidiary indebtedness. In addition, the
Credit Agreement contains a consolidated leverage ratio covenant of total consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA 
(earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. As of November 2, 2013, the 
Company was compliant with these covenants. 

16.  Debt

On June 30, 2009, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% senior unsecured notes due 

July 1, 2014 (the 2014 Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing 
January 1, 2010. The sale of the 2014 Notes was made pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement dated June 25, 2009 
between the Company and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein. 
The net proceeds of the offering were $370.4 million, after issuing at a discount and deducting expenses, underwriting 
discounts and commissions, which were amortized over the term of the 2014 Notes.  

77

ANALOG DEVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----- (Continued)

On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions related to its outstanding 2014 Notes where 

the Company swapped the notional amount of its $375.0 million of fixed rate debt at 5.0% into floating interest rate debt 
through July 1, 2014. The Company designated these swaps as fair value hedges. The changes in the fair value of the interest 
rate swaps were reflected in the carrying value of the interest rate swaps in other assets on the balance sheet. The carrying value 
of the debt on the balance sheet was adjusted by an equal and offsetting amount. In fiscal 2012, the Company terminated the 
interest rate swap agreement. The Company received $19.8 million in cash proceeds from the swap termination, which 
included $1.3 million in accrued interest. The proceeds, net of interest received, are disclosed in cash flows from financing 
activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of the termination, the carrying value of the 2014 Notes was 
adjusted for the change in the fair value of the interest component of the debt up to the date of the termination of the swap in an 
amount equal to the fair value of the swap, and was amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the 
remaining life of the debt. During fiscal year 2012, $5.3 million was amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest expense
related to the swap termination. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, in conjunction with the redemption of the 2014 Notes,
the Company recognized the remaining $8.6 million in unamortized proceeds received from the termination of the interest rate 
swap as other, net expense, within non-operating (income) expense.  

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company redeemed its outstanding 2014 Notes.  The redemption price was 

104.744% of the principal amount of the 2014 Notes.  The Company applied the provisions of Accounting Standards 
Codification (ASC) Subtopic 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments (ASC 470-50) in order to determine if the terms of 
the debt were substantially different and, as a result, whether to apply modification or extinguishment accounting. The 
Company concluded that the debt transaction qualified as a debt extinguishment and as a result recognized a net loss on debt 
extinguishment of approximately $10.2 million recorded in other, net within non-operating (income) expense.  This loss was 
comprised of the make-whole premium of $17.8 million paid to bondholders on the 2014 Notes in accordance with the terms of 
the notes, the recognition of the remaining $8.6 million of unamortized proceeds received from the termination of the interest 
rate swap associated with the debt, and the write-off of approximately $1.0 million of debt issuance and discount costs that 
remained to be amortized. The write-off of the remaining unamortized portion of debt issuance costs, discount and swap 
proceeds are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within operating activities, and the 
make-whole premium is reflected within financing activities.   

On December 22, 2010, Analog Devices Holdings B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit 

agreement with Bank of America, N.A., London Branch as administrative agent. The borrower’s obligations were guaranteed 
by the Company. The credit agreement provided for a term loan facility of $145.0 million, which was set to mature on 
December 22, 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on 
the loan of $60.1 million and the credit agreement was terminated. The terms of the agreement provided for a three year 
principal amortization schedule with $3.6 million payable quarterly every March, June, September and December with the 
balance payable upon the maturity date. During fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012, the Company made additional principal payments 
of $17.5 million and $42.0 million, respectively. The loan bore interest at a fluctuating rate for each period equal to the LIBOR
rate corresponding with the tenor of the interest period plus a spread of 1.25%. The terms of this facility included limitations on 
subsidiary indebtedness and on liens against the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, and also included financial 
covenants that required the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and not exceed a maximum leverage ratio.  

On April 4, 2011, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due 

April 15, 2016 (the 2016 Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on April 15 and October 15 of each year, 
commencing October 15, 2011. The sale of the 2016 Notes was made pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement, 
dated March 30, 2011 between the Company and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and 
Smith Incorporated, as representative of the several underwriters named therein. The net proceeds of the offering were $370.5 
million, after issuing at a discount and deducting expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions, which are being 
amortized over the term of the 2016 Notes. The indenture governing the 2016 Notes contains covenants that may limit the 
Company’s ability to: incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt for borrowed money secured by a lien upon a principal 
property; enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to a principal property; and consolidate with or merge into, or 
transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any other party. As of November 2, 2013, the Company was compliant
with these covenants. The 2016 Notes are subordinated to any future secured debt and to the other liabilities of the Company’s 
subsidiaries. 

On June 3, 2013, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% senior unsecured notes due 

June 1, 2023 (the 2023 Notes) with semi-annual fixed interest payments due on June 1 and December 1 of each year, 
commencing December 1, 2013.  Prior to issuing the 2023 Notes, on April 24, 2013, the Company entered into a treasury rate 
lock agreement with Bank of America.  This agreement allowed the Company to lock a 10-year US Treasury rate of 1.7845% 
through June 14, 2013 for its anticipated issuance of the 2023 Notes.  Upon issuing the 2023 Notes, the Company 
simultaneously terminated the treasury rate lock agreement resulting in a gain of approximately $11.0 million.  This gain is

being amortized into interest expense over the 10-year term of the 2023 Notes.  The sale of the 2023 Notes was made pursuant 
to the terms of an underwriting agreement, dated as of May 22, 2013, among the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, 
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as the representatives of the 
several underwriters named therein. The net proceeds of the offering were $493.9 million, after discount and issuance costs.  
Debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized through interest expense over the term of the 2023 Notes. The indenture 
governing the 2023 Notes contains covenants that may limit the Company's ability to: incur, create, assume or guarantee any 
debt for borrowed money secured by a lien upon a principal property; enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to
a principal property; and consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any other 
party. As of November 2, 2013, the Company was compliant with these covenants. The notes are subordinated to any future 
secured debt and to the other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries. 

The Company’s principal payments related to its debt obligations are as follows: $375.0 million in fiscal year 2016 and 

$500.0 million in fiscal year 2023. 

17.  Gain on Sale of Product Line

On October 31, 2013, we completed the sale of the assets and intellectual property related to our microphone product 

line to InvenSense, Inc. (InvenSense).  The Company received $100.0 million in cash for the assets and intellectual property 
and after providing for the write-off of inventory, fixed assets and other costs incurred to complete the transaction, recorded a 
net gain of $85.4 million in nonoperating income during fiscal 2013.  The Company has agreed to provide InvenSense with 
various transition services subsequent to the closing.   The Company may receive additional cash payments, not to exceed 
$70.0 million, based on the achievement of certain revenue milestones through the first anniversary of the closing date. The 
sale of the assets and intellectual property related to the microphone product line did not qualify as a discontinued operation as 
it did not meet the requirement to be considered a component of an entity. 

18. 

Subsequent Events

On November 25, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.34 per outstanding share 

of common stock. The dividend will be paid on December 17, 2013 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on 
December 6, 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Analog Devices, Inc. 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Analog  Devices,  Inc.  as  of  November  2,  2013  and 
November 3, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash 
flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  November  2,  2013.    Our  audits  also  included  the  financial  statement 
schedule  listed  in  the  Index  at  Item  15(b).   These financial  statements  and  schedule  are  the responsibility  of  the  Company’s 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts 
and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.    An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Analog Devices, Inc. at November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and 
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 2, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. 

We  have  also  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States), Analog Devices, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 2, 2013, based on criteria established in 
Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission 
(1992 framework) and our report dated November 26, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND 
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable. 

ITEM 9A.      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive 

Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Analog’s disclosure controls and procedures as of 
November 2, 2013. The term “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”), means controls and other procedures of a company that 
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. 
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information 
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and 
communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate 
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter 
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management 
necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the 
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 2, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. 
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial 
officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: 

•

•

•

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the 
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
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. 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 2, 2013. In 

making this assessment, the company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations 
of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. 

Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of November 2, 2013, our internal control over financial 

reporting is effective based on those criteria. 

Our independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this annual report has 

issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears below. 

(c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Analog Devices, Inc. 

We  have  audited  Analog  Devices,  Inc.’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  November  2,  2013  based  on 
criteria  established  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the 
Treadway  Commission  (1992  framework)  (the  COSO  criteria).    Analog  Devices,  Inc.’s  management  is  responsible  for 
maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  and  for  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control
over  financial  reporting  included  in  the  accompanying  Management’s  Report  on  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting.  
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States).    Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  effective 
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding 
of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design 
and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the  assessed  risk,  and  performing  such  other  procedures  as  we 
considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with 
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.    A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and 
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions 
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to 
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and 
expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the  
company;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use  or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  
Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become 
inadequate because changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

In  our  opinion,  Analog  Devices,  Inc.  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial 

reporting as of November 2, 2013, based on the COSO criteria. 

We  have  also  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States),  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Analog  Devices,  Inc.    as  of  November  2,  2013  and  November  3,  2012,  and  the 
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three 
years in the period ended November 2, 2013 of Analog Devices, Inc. and our report dated November 26, 2013 expressed an 
unqualified opinion thereon.

(d) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.  No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as 

defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended 
November 2, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
