2022 Letter to Stockholders

Fellow Stockholders:

KLA’s fiscal 2022 was exceptional as the company continued to execute against our long-term
strategic objectives. As strong industry demand persisted, KLA outperformed to meet customer
requirements while navigating a challenging market landscape. Once again, our global KLA team
persevered through dynamic and complex situations to produce record results. KLA’s strength in
adapting to deliver on commitments reflects the unique KLA culture, which is grounded in our value
to Drive to be Better. Through this, KLA had record results, upon which we will build our future
growth for customers, employees, stockholders, and partners. As we continued to execute against
our commitments to customers, we also made important strides in our environmental, social and
governance (ESG) commitments, including updating and improving our greenhouse gas (GHG)
inventory baseline and achieving third-party verification of our inventory and renewable energy
use. In August 2022, we also announced new targets for reducing our emissions, and we continue
to challenge ourselves to find new ways to fulfill our mission of being positive stewards and living
our values.

Record Results In A Strong Broad-Based Demand Environment

Fiscal 2022 was a record year for revenue, profitability, and free cash flow. We continued our
commitment to deliver for customers while innovating and maintaining our new product
introduction cadence despite ongoing supply chain challenges.

KLA revenue grew 33% to $9.2 billion in fiscal 2022, marking the seventh consecutive year of
growth. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share rose 45% to $21.15 per share, and free cash flow
grew 54% to $3.0 billion. Continuing our capital return commitment, we returned $5.5 billion, or
183% of free cash flow to shareholders, including $639 million in quarterly dividends and total stock
repurchases of $4.9 billion, which includes a $900 million forward contract related to our
accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program. Additionally, in June 2022, our Board of Directors
authorized a 24% increase in our quarterly dividend level to $1.30 per share, marking KLA’s 13th
consecutive annual dividend increase on a calendar year basis.

Our Board of Directors also authorized a $6 billion share repurchase program in June of 2022, of
which $3 billion is via the ASR program mentioned above. Additionally, we increased our long-term
targeted capital returns to greater than 85% of free cash flow, up from 70%. KLA remains focused
on returning excess capital to stockholders via our dividend and stock repurchase programs, as we
see it as fundamental to augmenting stockholder returns in KLA.

Looking at KLA’s segment results in fiscal 2022, revenue from our Semi Process Control segment
grew by 38% to $7.9 billion, driven by solid demand across our product portfolio, particularly for
our market-leading inspection and metrology solutions. KLA’s Specialty Semiconductor Process
segment grew 24% to $457 million, and our Printed Circuit Board (PCB), Display and Component
Inspections segments rose 2% to $832 million. The latter two businesses comprise KLA’s
Electronics, Packaging and Components (EPC) Group. Growth in automotive, advanced packaging,
5G, and high-performance computing technologies primarily drove the increase in revenues for the
EPC Group.

Our balance sheet remains very strong, with $2.7 billion in total cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, $6.7 billion in debt, and an attractive bond maturity profile supported by
investment-grade ratings from all three agencies. KLA’s investment grade credit ratings underscore
the strength of our balance sheet and the sustainability of our business and financial performance.
We will remain disciplined in executing our capital management strategy: investing at a high level
to strengthen our competitive advantages, growing free cash flow, and targeting returns to
stockholders of at least 85% of free cash flow over the long term.

June 2022 Investor Day Highlights KLA’s Sustainable
Outperformance and Drivers for Growth

At our June 16, 2022, Investor Day in New York City, we discussed how the company is well
positioned for sustainable outperformance and to deliver exceptional long-term total stockholder
returns. Key themes focused on how the semiconductor industry has become essential to many
industries and geographies and is expected to grow and change in ways that benefit KLA.

To demonstrate how KLA will benefit from these long-term industry secular growth drivers, we
detailed KLA’s positioning, differentiation, and long-term growth targets for each of our major
business units and how the business success fuels our ability to deliver long-term, sustainable
outperformance for the company.

For Semi Process Control, we illustrated how KLA’s portfolio and market leadership propels the
company’s long-term growth strategies as Process Control becomes even more critical to
semiconductor innovation. We saw increasing adoption of Process Control reflected in fiscal 2022,
with KLA delivering strong relative growth versus industry peers, driven by 38% growth in our Semi
Process Control segment fueled by 51% growth in Wafer Inspection Systems revenue. Our strong
relative performance results from KLA’s high investment in R&D, which drives our market
leadership in many of the largest and fastest-growing markets in the Wafer Fabrication Equipment
(WFE) industry.

For KLA’s EPC group, we reviewed how it is driving growth and diversification for KLA as part of our
long-term growth and market leadership. With EPC, KLA is intensifying our efforts to fuel growth in
new markets such as Advanced Packaging and Automotive electronics. The success of EPC and its
growth opportunities also demonstrate the strength of the KLA Operating Model in successfully
integrating new companies and driving collaboration, innovation, and execution across the entire
electronics ecosystem to fuel KLA’s growth objectives.

For Services, KLA unveiled a new 12-14% revenue growth rate target through calendar 2026. A
rapidly growing installed base, increasing customer adoption of long-term service agreements,
higher utilization rates, and expansion of Service opportunities in legacy nodes underpin this
increased growth rate. KLA’s Services business stands out among our peers as having nearly all our
Service revenue generated from “Pure Services,” or service contracts and break-fix maintenance,
and does not include other revenue sources such as equipment upgrades or sales of refurbished
systems. Boosted by growth throughout our installed base, and with over 75% of Semi Process
Control service revenue now being generated from subscription-like service contracts, KLA’s total
Service revenue grew 14% to $1.9 billion in fiscal 2022.

Throughout the event, key members of the KLA executive team detailed how the company’s
resilient business model, powered by our portfolio strategy and diversified revenue streams, strong
free cash flow generation, and assertive capital allocation continues to deliver best-in-class financial

performance and long-term total stockholder returns. Overall, we reinforced how our long-term
track record of solid execution and sustained outperformance demonstrates the strength of the
KLA Operating model.

New Financial Targets For Calendar 2026

As a final highlight of our June 2022 Investor Day, KLA introduced new long-term financial targets
for calendar 2026. Consistent with our stockholder return commitment, we also announced a series
of capital return updates, including a significant share repurchase and dividend increase mentioned
above. KLA’s new 9-11% revenue growth objective through calendar 2026 features strong relative
growth in each of our major businesses over that period and includes the upwardly revised long-
term revenue growth target of 12-14% CAGR in our Services business driven by growth in the
installed base, and new value-added service offerings. Our long-term model assumes a baseline
semiconductor industry growth CAGR of 6 - 7% through 2026. This growth rate aligns with many
forecasts today for the semiconductor market to grow at this rate and ultimately exceed $1 trillion
by 2030.

Secular Trends Driving Long-Term Industry Growth; KLA’s Focus on
Innovation Fuels Market Leadership and Sustained Outperformance

Although the near-term industry environment experienced in fiscal 2022 recognized supply chain
challenges impacting shipments and overall growth, the long-term secular growth factors
propelling industry growth remain strong. The broad electronics and semiconductor markets
continue to experience accelerated adoption of several industry growth drivers that we have been
tracking for the past few years. Technology is transforming how we live and work, and the data-
driven economy fundamentally changes how businesses operate and deliver value. Technology is
enabling secular demand drivers such as High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence
(AI), Machine Learning (ML), and rapid growth in new automotive electronics and 5G
communications markets. These secular trends are driving investments and innovation in advanced
Memory and Logic semiconductor devices and new and increasingly more complex Advanced
Packaging and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technologies. With KLA’s market leadership in Process
Control and growth and expansion to new markets like Specialty Semiconductor Process
equipment, PCB, and finished die inspection in our EPC group, KLA is essential to enabling an
increasingly digital world. KLA is in an advantageous position when we look at how the industry
demand environment is evolving. We have many tailwinds and strong secular growth drivers
creating momentum for our business and industry.

In parallel to the rising demand driven by the accelerating digitization across multiple industries and
end-markets, KLA continues to invest at a high level to drive innovation and create next-generation
technologies and ideas that transform our future and shape our lives.

KLA invested over $1.1 billion in Research and Development in fiscal 2022, far outpacing our
competition in Process Control. Total R&D investment grew 19% over the past year. This high level
of investment in addressing the most complex challenges in our industry help sustain and grow
KLA’s leadership in Process Control, where our market share continues to grow to an impressive
level of greater than four times the nearest competitor, as reported by Gartner Research in April of
2022. KLA’s broader position within the electronics ecosystem through the EPC businesses, and the
contribution of our large and growing Services business, also contributes to the company’s
sustained outperformance.

Enduring Excellence Guided by Experience: The KLA Operating
Model

We have learned from experience that passion alone is not enough to successfully implement our
strategic objectives. KLA’s strength is a function of the unique KLA culture and expertise that has
evolved over the decades into what we define as the KLA Operating Model. First articulated to
investors in September 2019, the KLA Operating Model codifies our corporate values, strategic
thinking, key performance metrics, and operating principles, providing a framework for executing
our long-term strategic objectives.

The three disciplines that come together to define the KLA Operating Model remain unchanged.
First, we apply common practices in a disciplined way to ensure consistent strategy and execution.
Second, we manage by metrics and operate with an expectation of continuous improvement. Third
and finally, we make sure to always operate the company with financial discipline and rigor that
creates a constant focus on enhancing stockholder value. These disciplines helped guide our strong
results this year against the backdrop of continued challenges and uncertainties from the
pandemic. Our results are a further testament to how the KLA Operating Model provides a reliable,
resilient framework to execute our strategic objectives.

ESG is in our DNA

KLA has been working on complex global challenges for over four decades. We take on these
challenges to serve our customers and make a meaningful impact on our world. In this context, our
commitment to corporate citizenship is interwoven with our values and our business. We are proud
of the work we are doing to reduce our environmental footprint and support efforts to combat

Commitment to con(cid:2)nuous innova(cid:2)on

In August 2022, KLA published a new Global Impact Report and announced new climate targets to
achieve 50% reductions in scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions
by 2050. The report also highlighted the most recent ESG progress and goals for the company, with
the purpose of promoting the sustainable growth of the business and informing KLA’s stakeholders
about our approach to managing and measuring our ESG performance. KLA has been expanding our
efforts across ESG topics most relevant to our business. We continue to build our long-term ESG
strategy to reduce climate impact, increase disclosure and deepen the positive impact we produce
through our company and community engagement.

To ensure that ESG is prioritized across the enterprise, KLA’s ESG strategy is led by an ESG Steering
Committee of leaders from across the business and is responsible for creating strategies and
programs to achieve our goals. The Board oversees ESG issues through its Nominating and
Governance Committee.

KLA’s ESG activities are integral to the company’s mission to advance humanity through devices and
ideas that transform our future and shape our world.

Looking Ahead with a Continuing Focus on Delivering Sustained
Outperformance

KLA’s fiscal 2022 results exhibited sustainable outperformance in a year of strong industry growth.
Our achievements in the past year also demonstrated the critical nature of KLA’s products and
services in enabling the digital transformation of our lives, the resiliency of the KLA Operating
Model in navigating the challenging global conditions and delivering on our commitments, and
KLA’s ongoing productive capital allocation.

At KLA, we are optimists who create technology that energizes the world around us. KLA is
exceptionally well positioned at the forefront of technology innovation, and investment in the long-
term remains a critical priority for us, as we believe it is an essential ingredient in the recipe that
drives our sustained success and outperformance. The semiconductor and electronics landscapes
are constantly changing, and we are seeing broadening customer interest driven by more
technology innovation than ever at the leading edge.

We expect KLA to continue to benefit from numerous secular factors driving long-term industry
demand. At the same time, our strategy of driving diversified growth with strong long-term
operating leverage will drive robust cash flow generation and consistent capital returns to our
stockholders.

We are proud of the results we are producing, guided by the KLA Operating Model and reflecting
the extraordinary commitment of our global teams. On behalf of all of us at KLA, we thank you for
your ongoing support and investment.

Sincerely,

Richard P. Wallace
President and Chief Executive Officer

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
To supplement our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with
GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information, which is adjusted from results based on
GAAP to exclude certain costs and expenses, as well as other supplemental information. The
non-GAAP and supplemental information is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding
of our operating performance and our prospects in the future. Specifically, we believe that the
non-GAAP information, including non-GAAP net income attributable to KLA, non-GAAP net income
per diluted share attributable to KLA, non-GAAP R&D expenses, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP
operating margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, Free Cash Flow, FCF Conversion and FCF Margin,
provides useful measures to both management and investors regarding financial end business
trends relating to our financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that we
believe are not indicative of our core operating results to help investors compare our operating
performances with our results in prior periods as well as with the performance of other
companies. The non-GAAP information is among the budgeting and planning tools that
management uses for future forecasting. However, because there are no standardized or generally
accepted definitions for most non-GAAP financial metrics, definitions of non-GAAP financial
metrics are inherently subject to significant discretion (for example, determining which costs and
expenses to exclude when calculating such a metric). As a result, non-GAAP financial metrics may
be defined very differently from company to company, or even from period to period within the
same company, which can potentially limit the usefulness of such information to an investor. The
presentation of non-GAAP and supplemental information is not meant to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with United States
GAAP. The following are descriptions of the adjustments made to reconcile GAAP net income
attributable to KLA to non-GAAP net income attributable to KLA:

a) Acquisition-related charges primarily include amortization of intangible assets and other

acquisition-related adjustments including adjustments for the fair valuation of inventory and
backlog, and transaction costs associated with our acquisitions.

b) Restructuring, severance and other charges primarily include costs associated with employee

severance, acceleration of certain stock-based compensation arrangements, interest expense on
unrecognized tax benefits, charges related to liquidation of legal entities and other exit costs.

c) Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments includes the income tax effects of the excluded items

noted above.

d) Discrete tax items consist of certain income tax expenses/benefits that, by excluding, help

investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior periods as well as with the
performance of other companies.

Note Regarding Reconciliations of Long-term Forecasts:

This shareholder letter includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including gross
margin, R&D as a percent of sales, SG&A as a percent of sales, operating margin and diluted EPS, in
forecasts for calendar year 2023 and calendar year 2026. The reconciliations for these non-GAAP
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not presented because of the inherent
difficulty in predicting, with a reasonable degree of certainty, the occurrence, financial impact and
timing of items that would be expected to impact GAAP results but would not impact non-GAAP
adjusted results, such as acquisition costs, restructuring costs and discrete taxable events, without
unreasonable efforts. These reconciling items could significantly impact, either individually or in the
aggregate, the corresponding GAAP measures.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

PART I

Certain industry and technical terms used in this section are defined in the subsection entitled “Glossary”

found at the end of this Item 1.

The Company

KLA Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (“KLA” or the “Company” and also referred to as
“we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references) is a supplier of industry-leading equipment and services that enables
innovation throughout the electronics industry. We provide advanced process control and process-enabling
solutions for manufacturing wafers, reticles, chemicals/materials, integrated circuits (“IC” or “chip”), packaged
ICs, printed circuit boards (“PCB”), and flat panel displays (“FPD”), as well as comprehensive support and
services across our installed base. Our suite of advanced products, coupled with our unique yield management
software and services, allow us to deliver the solutions our customers need to achieve their productivity goals,
including improving yields and reducing waste, by significantly reducing their risks and costs and improving
their overall profitability and return on investment.

KLA was formed as KLA-Tencor in April 1997 through the merger of KLA Instruments Corporation and
Tencor Instruments, two long-time leaders in the semiconductor capital equipment industry that began operations
in 1975 and 1976, respectively. On February 20, 2019, KLA completed the acquisition of Orbotech, Ltd.
(“Orbotech”), a global supplier of yield-enhancing and process-enabling solutions for the manufacture of
electronics products, in order to target growth opportunities in new and expanding end markets. We are
organized into four reportable segments: Semiconductor Process Control; Specialty Semiconductor Process;
PCB, Display and Component Inspection; and Other.

Within the Semiconductor Process Control segment, our comprehensive portfolio of inspection, metrology

and software products, and related services, help IC, wafer, reticle and chemical/materials manufacturers achieve
target yields throughout the entire fabrication process, from R&D to final volume production. These products and
services are designed to provide comprehensive solutions to help customers accelerate development and
production ramp cycles, achieve higher and more stable product yields and improve their overall profitability.

Within the Specialty Semiconductor Process segment, which includes the SPTS business, KLA develops
and sells advanced vacuum deposition and etching process tools, which are used by a broad range of specialty
semiconductor customers, including manufacturers of microelectromechanical systems (“MEMS”), radio
frequency (“RF”) communication semiconductors, and power semiconductors for automotive and industrial
applications.

Within the PCB, Display and Component Inspection segment, which includes the PCB, FPD, Frontline and

ICOS businesses, KLA enables electronic device manufacturers to inspect, test and measure PCBs, FPDs and
packaged ICs to verify their quality, pattern the desired electronic circuitry on the relevant substrate and perform
three-dimensional shaping of metalized circuits on multiple surfaces.

Company, products, services and other matters.

Industry

KLA’s core focus is enabling technological advances as well as improving manufacturing yields in the
semiconductor industry. The semiconductor fabrication process begins with a bare silicon wafer — a round disk
that is typically 200 millimeters or 300 millimeters in diameter, about as thick as a credit card and gray in color.
The process of manufacturing wafers is highly sophisticated and involves the creation of large ingots of silicon
by pulling them out of a vat of molten silicon. The ingots are then sliced into wafers. Prime silicon wafers are
then polished to a mirror finish. Other, more specialized wafers, such as epitaxial silicon (“epi”), silicon on
insulator (“SOI”), gallium nitride (“GaN”) and silicon carbide (“SiC”) are also common in the semiconductor
industry.

The manufacturing cycle of an IC is grouped into three phases: design, fabrication and testing. IC design

involves the architectural layout of the circuit, as well as design verification and reticle generation. The
fabrication of a semiconductor chip (or “semiconductor”) is accomplished by depositing a series of film layers
that act as conductors, semiconductors or insulators on bare wafers. The deposition of these film layers is
interspersed with numerous other process steps that create circuit patterns, remove portions of the film layers,
and perform other functions such as heat treatment, measurement and inspection. Most advanced chip designs
require hundreds of individual steps, many of which are performed multiple times. The majority of chips consist
of two main structures: the lower structure, typically consisting of transistors or capacitors which perform the
“smart” functions; and the upper “interconnect” structure, typically consisting of circuitry which connects the
components in the lower structure. When the layers on the wafer have been fabricated, each chip on the wafer is
tested for functionality. The wafer is then cut into individual chips, and the chips that pass functional testing are
packaged. Final testing is performed on all packaged chips. Packaged chips are then mounted onto PCBs for
connection to the rest of the electronic system. Additionally, FPDs are manufactured using processes similar to
ICs (e.g., film deposition, photolithography, etching) except using glass as the starting substrate.

Our business depends upon the capital expenditures of semiconductor, semiconductor-related and electronic

device manufacturers, which in turn is driven by the current and anticipated market demand for ICs, products
utilizing ICs and other electronic components. We do not consider our business to be seasonal in nature, but it
has historically been cyclical with respect to the capital equipment procurement practices of semiconductor,
semiconductor-related and electronic device manufacturers, and it is impacted by the investment patterns of such
manufacturers in different global markets. Downturns in the semiconductor or other industries in which we
operate, or slowdowns in the worldwide economy as well as customer consolidation, could have a material
adverse effect on our future business and financial results.

Companies that anticipate future market demands by developing and advancing new technologies and
manufacturing processes are better positioned to lead in the semiconductor market. Accelerating the yield ramp
and maximizing production yields of high-performance devices are key goals of modern semiconductor
manufacturing. Ramping to high-volume production ahead of competitors can dramatically increase the revenue
an IC manufacturer realizes for a given product. Leading semiconductor manufacturers are investing in
simultaneous production integration of multiple new process technologies, some requiring new substrate and film
materials, new geometries, new transistor architectures, new power distribution schemes, advanced multi-
patterning optical and extreme ultraviolet (“EUV”) lithography, and advanced packaging techniques. While
many of these technologies have been adopted at the development and pilot production stages of semiconductor
manufacturing, significant challenges and risks associated with each technology have affected the adoption of
these technologies into high-volume production. For example, as design rules decrease, yields become more
sensitive to the size and density of defects. Device performance characteristics (namely speed, capacity or power

2

management) also become more sensitive to parameters such as linewidth and film thickness variation. New
process materials require extensive characterization before they can be used in the manufacturing process.
Moving several of these advanced technologies into production at once only adds to the risks that chipmakers
face. The continuing evolution of semiconductors to smaller geometries and more complex multi-level circuitry
has significantly increased the performance and cost requirements of the capital equipment used to manufacture
these devices. Construction of an advanced IC fabrication facility today can cost well above $10 billion,
substantially more than previous-generation facilities. In addition, chipmakers are demanding increased
productivity and higher returns from their manufacturing equipment and are also seeking ways to extend the
performance of their existing equipment.

The semiconductor capital equipment industry is currently experiencing multiple growth drivers bolstered

by demand for semiconductors from leading edge foundry and logic manufacturers to support computational
power and connectivity for markets such as artificial intelligence (“AI”) and 5G wireless technology. Growth of
virtual engagement and the pace of digitization have been driven by COVID-19 related travel restrictions and
quarantines, work from home requirements, and advances in healthcare and industrial applications. These factors
together with the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and intelligence in automobiles are powering leading-
edge design node technology investments and capacity expansions. Intertwined in these areas, spurred by the
requirements of big data, is the growth in demand for memory chips. Regionalization of semiconductors has
become a trend as access to semiconductors is viewed from the lens of national security. China continues to
emerge as a major region for the manufacturing of logic and memory chips, adding to its role as the world’s
largest consumer of ICs. Government initiatives are propelling China to expand its domestic manufacturing
capacity. Although China is currently seen as an important long-term growth region for the semiconductor capital
equipment sector, the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) has added certain China-based entities to
the U.S. Entity List, restricting our ability to provide products and services to such entities without a license. In
addition, Commerce has imposed export licensing requirements on China-based customers engaged in military
end uses, as well as requiring our customers to obtain an export license when they use certain semiconductor
capital equipment based on U.S. technology to manufacture products connected to Huawei or its affiliates. While
these new rules have not significantly impacted our operations to date, such actions by the U.S. government or
another country could impact our ability to provide our products and services to existing and potential customers
and adversely affect our business.

Research and Development

The market for semiconductor and electronics industries is characterized by rapid technological
development and product innovation. These technical innovations are inherently complex and require long
development cycles and appropriate professional staffing. We make significant investments in product R&D for
the timely development of new products and enhancements necessary to maintain our competitive position.
Accordingly, we devote a significant portion of our human and financial resources to R&D programs and seek to
maintain close relationships with customers to remain responsive to their needs.

Our key R&D activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 involved the development of process

control and process-enabling solutions for a broad range of industries including semiconductors, PCBs and
displays. For information regarding our R&D expenses during the last three fiscal years, see Item 7
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

The strength of our competitive positions in many of our existing markets is largely due to our leading

technology, which is the result of our continuing significant investments in product R&D. Even during down
cycles in the semiconductor industry, we have remained committed to significant engineering efforts toward both
product improvement and new product development in order to enhance our competitive position.

3

Customers

We count among our largest customers the leading semiconductor, semiconductor-related and electronic
device manufacturers in Asia, the U.S. and Europe. Our future performance will depend, in part, on our ability to
continue to compete successfully in Asia, one of the largest markets for our equipment. Our ability to compete in
this area is dependent upon the continuation of favorable trading relationships between countries in the region
and the U.S,, and our continuing ability to maintain satisfactory relationships with leading semiconductor
companies in the region.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the following customers each accounted for more

than 10% of total revenues, primarily in the Semiconductor Process Control segment:

Sales, Service and Marketing

Our sales, service and marketing efforts are aimed at building deep long-term relationships with our
customers. We focus on providing comprehensive resources for the full breadth of process control, process-
enabling and yield management solutions for manufacturing and testing wafers and reticles, ICs, packaging,
light-emitting diodes (“LED”), power devices, compound semiconductor devices, MEMS, data storage, PCBs
and flat and flexible panel displays, as well as general materials research. Our revenues are derived primarily
from product sales and related service contracts, mostly through our direct sales force.

We believe that the size and location of our field sales, service and applications engineering, and marketing

organizations represent a competitive advantage in our served markets. We have direct sales forces in Asia, the
U.S. and Europe. We maintain an export compliance program that is designed to meet the requirements of
Commerce and the U.S. Department of State.

In addition to sales and service offices in the U.S., we conduct sales, marketing and services out of
subsidiaries or branches in many countries, some of the largest include China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Korea,
Singapore, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. We believe that sales outside the U.S. will continue to be a
significant percentage of our total revenues. International revenues accounted for approximately 90%, 89%, and
89% of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additional
information regarding our revenues from foreign operations for our last three fiscal years can be found in Note 19
“Segment Reporting and Geographic Information” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

International sales and operations may be adversely affected by the imposition of governmental controls,
restrictions on export technology, political instability, trade restrictions, changes in tariffs and the difficulties
associated with staffing and managing international operations. In addition, international sales may be adversely
affected by the economic conditions in each country and by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and such
fluctuations may negatively impact our ability to compete on price with local providers or the value of revenues
we generate from our international business. Although we attempt to manage some of the currency risk inherent
in non-U.S. dollar product sales through hedging activities, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be
adequate. These factors, as well as any of the other risk factors related to our international business and
operations that are described in Item 1A “Risk Factors,” could have a material adverse effect on our future
business and financial results.

Services

Our service programs enable our customers in all business sectors to maintain the high performance and

productivity of our products through a flexible array of service options. Whether a manufacturing site is
producing wafers, reticles, ICs, display or PCB products, our highly trained service teams collaborate with
customers to determine the best products and services to meet technology and business requirements.

Backlog

Our backlog, which represents our performance obligation to deliver products and services, totaled

$13.11 billion and $4.69 billion as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and primarily consists of sales orders
where written customer requests have been received. We expect to recognize approximately 40% to 50% of these
performance obligations as revenue beyond the next 12 months, but this estimate is subject to constant change
depending on the following: supply chain constraints; customer slot change requests as well as pushouts and
cancellations, usually with limited or no penalties; and potential elevated demand levels, which could require

7

even longer lead times. The growth that we have experienced over the past few years has resulted in higher levels
of backlog. The supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing pandemic as well as favorable market trends
have led to customers agreeing to purchase equipment from us with lead times that are longer than our historical
experience. As the lead times for delivery of our equipment get longer, the risk increases that customers may
choose to change their equipment orders due to the evolution of the customer’s technological, production or
market needs. This could result in order modifications, rescheduling or even cancellations that may not be
communicated to us in a timely manner, causing backlog to remain elevated until agreed with the customer.
Customer communication delays for orders already placed could affect our ability to respond quickly in
weakening demand environments, which could harm our results of operations.

Because customers can potentially change delivery schedules or delay or cancel orders, and because some

orders are received and shipped within the same quarter, our shipment backlog at any particular date is not
necessarily indicative of business volumes or actual sales for any succeeding periods. The historical cyclicality of
the semiconductor industry combined with the lead times from our suppliers sometimes result in timing
disparities between, on the one hand, our ability to manufacture, deliver and install products and, on the other,
the requirements of our customers. In our efforts to balance the requirements of our customers with the
availability of resources, management of our operating model and other factors, we often must exercise
discretion and judgment as to the timing and prioritization of manufacturing, deliveries and installations of
products, which may impact the timing of revenue recognition with respect to such products.

Manufacturing, Raw Materials and Supplies

We perform system design, assembly and testing in-house and utilize an outsourcing strategy for the

manufacture of components and major subassemblies. Our in-house manufacturing activities consist primarily of
assembling and testing components and subassemblies that are acquired through third-party vendors and
integrating those subassemblies into our finished products. Our principal manufacturing activities take place in
the U.S., Singapore, Israel, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and China. Our supply chain strategy adheres to
ethical labor practices, responsible minerals sourcing, and Responsible Business Alliance and SEMI guidelines.

Some critical parts, components and subassemblies (collectively, “parts”) that we use are designed by us

and manufactured by suppliers in accordance with our specifications, while other parts are standard commercial
products. We use numerous vendors to supply parts and raw materials for the manufacture and support of our
products. Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure that these parts and raw materials are available from
multiple suppliers, this is not always possible, and certain parts and raw materials included in our systems may be
obtained only from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. Through our business interruption planning,
we endeavor to minimize the risk of production interruption by, among other things, monitoring the financial
condition of suppliers of key parts and raw materials, providing financial support and incentives to encourage
vendors to increase capacity when required, identifying (but not necessarily qualifying) possible alternative
suppliers of such parts and materials, and ensuring adequate inventories of key parts and raw materials are
available to maintain manufacturing schedules.

Although we seek to reduce our dependence on sole and limited source suppliers, in some cases the partial

or complete loss of certain of these sources, or disruptions within our suppliers’ often complex supply chains,
could disrupt scheduled deliveries to customers, damage customer relationships and have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations.

Competition

The worldwide market for technologically advanced process control, process-enabling and yield
management solutions used by semiconductor and electronics manufacturers is highly competitive, with
important competitive factors including system performance, ease of use, reliability, technical service and
support, and overall cost of ownership. However, we believe that, while the competitive factors listed are

8

important, the customers’ overriding requirement is for systems that easily and effectively incorporate automated
capabilities into their existing development and manufacturing processes to enhance productivity, improve yields
and reduce waste. To remain competitive, we use significant financial resources to offer a broad range of
products, to maintain customer service and support centers worldwide, and to invest in product R&D. In each of
our product markets, we have many competitors, including companies such as Applied Materials, Inc., ASML
Holding N.V., Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Onto Innovation, Inc. and Lasertec, Inc., some of which
may have greater financial, research, engineering, manufacturing and marketing resources than we have. We
expect our competitors to continue to improve the design and performance of their current products and to
introduce new products with improved price and performance characteristics. We may also face future
competition from new market entrants overseas or domestically. We maintain our market position by building
long-term relationships with our customers to meet their dynamic needs as well as anticipating future market
demands and enabling our customers to accelerate adoption and production of new technologies, as discussed
further in the “Industry” section of this Item 1. Management believes that we are well positioned in the market
with our industry-leading portfolio of products and services. However, any loss of competitive position could
negatively impact our prices, customer orders, revenue, gross margin and market share. Should this occur, it
could negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.

Acquisitions

We continuously evaluate strategic acquisitions and alliances to expand our technologies, product offerings

and distribution capabilities. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including management issues and costs in
connection with integration of the operations, technologies and products of the acquired companies, and the
potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies. The inability to manage these risks effectively could
negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.

Patents and Other Proprietary Rights

We protect our proprietary technology through reliance on a variety of intellectual property laws, including

patent, copyright and trade secret. We have filed and obtained a number of patents in the U.S. and abroad and
intend to continue pursuing the legal protection of our technology through intellectual property laws. In addition,
from time to time we acquire license rights under U.S. and foreign patents and other proprietary rights of third
parties, and we attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information through confidentiality and
other agreements with our customers, suppliers, employees and consultants and through other security measures.

Although we consider patents and other intellectual property significant to our business, no single patent,

copyright or trade secret is essential to us as a whole or to any of our business segments.

No assurance can be given that patents will be issued on any of our applications, that license assignments
will be made as anticipated, or that our patents, licenses or other proprietary rights will be sufficiently broad to
protect our technology. No assurance can be given that any patents issued to or licensed by us will not be
challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that the rights granted thereunder will provide us with a competitive
advantage. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our technology or that
competitors will not be able to independently develop similar or functionally competitive technology.

Government Regulations

We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local governmental laws and regulations worldwide,
including laws and regulations related to anti-corruption, antitrust, data privacy, employment, environmental,
foreign exchange controls, health and safety, immigration, import/export, intellectual property and tax.
Compliance with these laws and regulations did not have in fiscal 2022, and is not expected to have in fiscal
2023, a material effect on our capital expenditures, financial condition, results of operations or competitive
position.

9

However, any failure to comply with laws and regulations may subject us to a range of consequences
including fines, suspension of certain of our business activities, limitations on our ability to sell our products,
obligations to remediate in the case of environmental contamination, and criminal and civil liabilities or other
sanctions. Changes in environmental laws and regulations could require us to invest in potentially costly
pollution control equipment, alter our manufacturing processes or use substitute materials. Our failure to comply
with laws and regulations could subject us to future liabilities.

Environmental, Social and Governance Initiatives

KLA strives to proactively manage and address the ESG topics most important to our stakeholders. We have

integrated ESG considerations into many of our business practices and policies, and work together with our
customers, peers, partners and suppliers to promote improvement in human rights, labor, environment, health and
safety, anti-corruption, ethics and management system standards within our operations and our supply chain. Our
ESG initiatives are another way in which KLA seeks to deliver long-term value for our stockholders and they
exemplify our core values. For more on our core values, refer to the “Human Capital Management” section of
this Item 1.

We have an ESG Steering Committee composed of global leaders within the organization that implements

and executes our ESG strategy under the oversight of the KLA executive team and the Board of Directors.
Training and awareness are central to the success of the strategy, and, as part of its responsibilities, the steering
committee evaluates our policies and practices including our Code of Business Conduct to promote an effective
outcome and adherence by our employees. Our ESG strategy is organized into four pillars based on the areas
where we believe we have the greatest opportunities to make positive impacts:

Advancing Innovation: As a technological innovator, we seek to deliver solutions for our customers to
increase production yields, reduce waste, and meet their own profitability and sustainability goals. Refer to
“Research and Development” and “Patents and Other Proprietary Rights” of this Item 1 for more information on
our efforts for advancing innovation. In addition to legal protections, we also work to protect our operations
through a significant focus on cybersecurity. In addition to 24/7 monitoring through our KLA Security
Operations Center, we engage in other initiatives such as cybersecurity assessments, employee training on
cybersecurity issues and compliance monitoring. Our cybersecurity efforts are spearheaded by our Chief
Information Security Officer, and cybersecurity updates are provided to the Audit Committee quarterly, or more
frequently as needed.

Advancing Stewardship: We work across our global footprint to shape a more sustainable future. Our
company-wide Environmental Management Policy establishes a commitment to complying with all applicable
environmental laws and standards across company locations globally. KLA is committed to protecting and
respecting our environment and energy resources for future generations throughout our manufacturing
operations. As part of our efforts in striving to be better, we’ve established goals around climate and energy,
waste and water management. For example, we have set a goal to use 100% renewable electricity across our
global operations by 2030.

Advancing Opportunity: It is our goal to work together to harness the untapped human potential of a more
just and inclusive world. Refer to the “Human Capital Management” and “Manufacturing, Raw Materials and
Supply” sections of this Item 1 for information on our diversity and inclusion, human rights, health and safety
initiatives.

Advancing Leadership: We aim to empower today’s leaders as well as tomorrow’s leaders by infusing our

values in everything we do. Refer to the “Human Capital Management” and “Government Regulations” sections
of this Item 1 for examples of our employee-centric culture and our commitment to operating our business
responsibly in compliance with regulations and best practices worldwide.

Human Capital Management

At KLA, our people drive our success, and we celebrate the diversity of backgrounds and experiences that
all employees bring to the table. We recognize that our competitive advantage is our people and the technology
they develop. As talent and retention continue to be a challenging issue for many companies, we strive to work
proactively to address these concerns. We believe it is critical to attract, motivate and retain a dedicated, talented,
and innovative team of employees who exhibit our core values. We also aim to support employees’ personal and
professional growth. Our talent development programs focus on developing the whole person through
comprehensive training offerings, employee engagement programs and health & wellness activities. We embrace
our responsibility to lead through exceptional training programs and professional development and through
enabling our employees to be safe, secure, healthy and feel included and empowered to bring their full self to
work.

Our Core Values

At KLA, our core values – demonstrating perseverance; striving to be better; being honest, forthright, and

consistent; building high-performing teams; and being indispensable to our customers – serve as a foundation for
our relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders and reflect a commitment to
ethical business practices and corporate citizenship in the places where we do business.

Our Workforce

As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately 14,000 regular full-time employees and approximately 280 part-

time and temporary employees in facilities located in 19 countries. Approximately 30% of our regular full-time
employees are located in the U.S., 22% in Europe and Middle Eastern countries and 48% in Asia Pacific and
Japan, with approximately 20% engaged in manufacturing, 26% in R&D, 31% in customer service, 4% in sales
and marketing, and 19% in other roles. Except for our employees in Belgium (where a trade union delegation has
been recognized) and our employees in the German operations of our MIE business unit (who are represented by
employee works council), none of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced
work stoppages and believe that our employee relations are good.

In fiscal year 2022, our overall turnover rate was 7.4%.

Compensation and Benefits

At KLA, our talent is the heartbeat of our organization. We value our employees as individuals and aim to

recognize and support their needs so they can bring their best selves to work every day. We engage with our
employees about what they need to be successful in and out of the workplace. We seek to achieve our objective
of attracting, retaining, and motivating our workforce by linking a significant portion of compensation to
Company and business unit performance. We seek competitiveness and fairness in total compensation with
reference to peer comparisons and internal equity. In the first half of fiscal 2022 we performed a mid-year salary
review and made adjustments to improve our competitiveness in the market. We enable employees to share in the
success of the Company through various programs including an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), equity
compensation including restricted stock units (“RSU”), profit sharing and bonus plans.

11

In addition to providing our employees with competitive compensation packages, we have built out a robust

suite of benefits to help foster the well-being of all employees. Our benefits are designed to meet the needs of
employees and their families, including paid time off, parental leave, bereavement leave, health insurance
coverage, flexible work arrangements, contributions to retirement savings and access to employee assistance and
work-life programs.

We offer programs to employees to help improve their health and wellness habits. KLA’s virtual and

in-person wellness course offerings span both physical and mental health. We offer in-person and virtual workout
classes as well as seminars on mindfulness, meditation and other wellness topics. We hold online fitness classes
that include body-tune up, yoga and other well-being classes like maintaining life balance, nutrition, importance
of sleep, hydration and relaxation. Throughout our sites, we host a series of events and challenges, both virtually
and in person, to encourage our employees to stay active. Our wellness program helps employees manage and
improve their health and build healthy lifestyle habits in engaging ways.

We expanded hybrid work options and telecommuting. As the COVID-19 pandemic persisted through fiscal

2021 and into fiscal 2022, many working parents faced challenges balancing working from home and caring for
their families’ needs. At KLA, we recognized those challenges and expanded our benefits to include remote
learning and childcare leave for employees in the U.S. and some of our other locations. We offered parenting
webinars through our Connecting Employees website for parents to learn more about adolescent mental health.
Some sessions have included helping teens through COVID-19, talking to children about racism, and supporting
children with anxiety. We also offer courses on financial literacy and planning to help our employees prepare for
their financial futures.

Inclusion and Diversity

The journey to becoming a truly inclusive and diverse global organization takes time, and we are deeply

committed to this path. At KLA, Inclusion & Diversity (“I&D”) is a shared aspiration, commitment and
responsibility, as well as a direct expression of our core values. We celebrate the diversity of our employees,
customers and partners, and we are committed to fostering a culture of conscious inclusion.

Throughout fiscal 2022, we continued to strengthen our engagement on I&D. We are an equal opportunity/

affirmative action employer and have increased our efforts to recruit, develop and retain a more diverse
workforce with a focus on those historically underrepresented in the technology field, including women, Black
and Hispanic/Latinx candidates.

Over the last fiscal year, we increased our I&D efforts in several ways. We continue to provide digital
versions of our Values in Action training modules with a continued focus on I&D. New managers can hone their
skills on unconscious bias, non-discrimination, and anti-harassment, and are introduced to a model of conscious
inclusion that emphasizes key leadership qualities.

We also expanded our Employee Resource Groups (“ERG”) to engage employees in service of our I&D
goals. In addition to the ERG called WISE (Women in STEM, Empowered), an employee-led group that includes
people of all genders who have joined to support the professional growth of women at KLA and foster an
inclusive environment, Konexión, our Hispanic/Latinx ERG where employees can interact and innovate through
cultural sharing and understanding of the Latinx community, and MOSAIC, which comprises a diverse group of
employees at KLA’s second North American headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan working together to build a
culture of inclusion across all dimensions, all of which were launched in 2020, KLA also launched BELIEVE
(Black Employees Leading in Inclusion, Excellence, Values and Education) in fiscal 2022. This ERG supports
the recruitment and advancement of Black talent, while also promoting cultural awareness, understanding and
allyship of the Black community. Our newest ERG is PRISM, where Pride, Respect, Inclusion and Solidarity
Meet. PRISM’s mission is to amplify KLA’s commitment to equality and inclusion by encouraging a safe and
open working environment for LGBTQ+ employees and allies.

12

As of June 30, 2022, our global workforce was 80% male, 18% female and 2% gender undisclosed, and 8%

of our workforce in the U.S. was composed of Black or African American, and/or Hispanic/Latinx employees.

Learning and Development

We offer our employees opportunities to advance their careers at KLA. We emphasize stretch assignments,
on-the job development, as well as classroom and online training. Our employees have access to a wide range of
programs, workshops, classes and resources to help them excel in their careers and share what they know with
others. Our performance management process includes performance feedback against goals, a review of key
competencies that are needed to be successful at KLA and career development discussions.

We emphasize frequent 1-on-1 meetings between managers and employees and regular coaching and

feedback sessions. Through coaching and mentorship programs, our employees are inspired to push the
boundaries of their comfort zones and seek creative solutions.

If our employees pursue external learning opportunities and education, we support that too, through tuition

reimbursement. Through our partnerships with San Jose State University and the University of Michigan,
employees can pursue advanced degrees in engineering that are customized for KLA, and the skills and
competencies required to support our customers. We also offer a competitive student loan reimbursement
program in the U.S.

We have a robust succession planning process especially targeted at director level positions and above. Our
Enterprise Leadership Program, a comprehensive, two-year management training program that we offer, helps to
prepare KLA employees to fill future leadership roles. In fiscal year 2022, several of our managers and leaders
went through the program. Additionally, our Values in Action training which was also targeted at the director
level and above provided further guidance on our values, business ethics and about inclusion and diversity.

Most of our employees are also required to take annual training courses and regular certifications related to

their work, including those pertaining to the environment, data privacy and workplace health and safety.

Employee Engagement

We conduct regular employee surveys to check in with our global workforce and obtain input on several

topics. The feedback we receive from these surveys helps us assess employee sentiment, identify areas of
improvement, and guides our decision-making as it relates to people management. In addition, our executives
conduct regular weekly and quarterly webcasts. These global webcasts enable all employees to engage with
senior leaders and ask questions in an open Q&A session.

As we began to emerge from the global pandemic in fiscal 2022 in parts of the world, many employees
sought connection as never before. Through our annual Employee Engagement Surveys, which had an 85%
response rate in fiscal year 2022, we identified the top priorities in a post-pandemic world. We created action
plans to act on these priorities and engaged our workforce in identifying potential solutions to address these top
concerns. Even though our survey rated our level of engagement as being “good,” we realize that we have several
opportunities for improvement and will continue to involve our employees in seeking ways we can get even
better.

Employee Health and Safety and Pandemic Response

The health and safety of our employees is paramount to our success. We are committed to providing a safe

and healthy workplace for all employees. We accomplish this through strict compliance with applicable laws and
regulations regarding workplace safety, including recognition and control of workplace hazards, tracking injury
and illness rates, utilizing a global travel health program and maintaining detailed emergency and disaster
recovery plans.

13

KLA’s top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic has been and continues to be protecting the health and

safety of our employees and their families, our customers, and our community. The continuing demands of
COVID-19 required that we build upon our global approach to employee health and safety (“EHS”) with strong
collaboration across the regions. This has resulted in the adoption of best practices for each of our sites,
improving business resiliency and EHS worldwide. In addition, our flexible work options have enabled
employees to remain safely at home during quarantines to support their families and prevent cross-contamination
in the workplace. Through this period we continued the implementation of an infectious disease playbook, work
from home programs, health check protocols, screenings for all employees working on-site, new process
workflows at physical sites to ensure reduced contact for employees working on-site, contact tracing processes
and protocols, quarantining and testing protocols for exposure and positive tests, on-site vaccination clinics,
travel guidelines and protocols to ensure employees who must travel for work can do so safely and phased
return-to-work plans and approval processes to enable non-manufacturing employees to return-to-work when
permitted by local government regulations.

Our goal is always zero accidents across our facilities, and to achieve that, we proactively conduct risk
assessments and audits to constantly improve our efforts. We implemented a global standard for our incidents to
ensure consistency across our regions, and continually outperform industry averages for injury rates. We are
committed to reducing safety risks across business units and at corporate sites worldwide. We revised our
approach to risk assessments to “risk rank” our own operations. We are utilizing this system not only to measure
our own performance, but also to help improve the performance in our supply chain and with our customers. Our
excellent safety record is a tribute to our employees’ efforts, the breadth and depth of our training programs, and
our dedication to safety policy management. All new hires are required to complete a health and safety training
program. In addition, our service technicians are required to achieve and maintain role-specific safety training
certifications.

We made a commitment to globalize our ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems)

certification and expand our ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) certification beyond our larger
sites. The goal is to execute these plans through calendar year 2024.

• Economic, political or other conditions in the jurisdictions where we earn profits can impact the tax

laws and taxes we pay in those jurisdictions, subsequently impacting our effective tax rate, cash flows
and results of operations;

•

Increased compliance costs with federal securities laws, rules, and regulations, as well as NASDAQ
requirements; and

• Changes in accounting pronouncements and laws could have unforeseen effects.

Industry Risks

• We may not be able to keep pace with trends and technological changes in the industries in which we

operate;

• We have a highly concentrated customer base; and

•

Prevailing local and global economic conditions may negatively affect the purchasing decisions of our
customers.

Business Model and Capital Structure Risks

• We may not be able to maintain our technology advantage or protect our proprietary rights;

• We may not be able to compete with new products introduced by our competitors;

• We may not receive components necessary to build our products in a timely manner;

• We may fail to operate our business in a manner consistent with our business plan;

• We may fail to comply with the covenants in our Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes (as

defined below), which could impair our ability to borrow needed funds, or require us to repay debt
sooner than we planned;

• We may not have sufficient financial resources to repay our indebtedness when it becomes due and our

leveraged capital structure may divert resources from operations and other corporate uses;

• We may not be able to declare cash dividends at all or in any particular amounts;

• Risks related to our commercial terms and conditions, including our indemnification of third parties, as

well as the performance of our products;

• Our government funding for R&D is subject to termination, audit and any further penalties;

• We may incur significant restructuring charges or other asset impairment charges or inventory write-

offs; and

• We are subject to risks related to receivables factoring arrangements, and compliance risk of certain

settlement agreements with the government.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The current COVID-19 pandemic and the potential aftereffects from it could materially harm our

business, financial condition and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial global disruptions, including in the jurisdictions where we

conduct business and may cause additional disruptions in the future, which are impossible to predict. Local,
regional and national authorities in numerous jurisdictions have implemented a variety of measures designed to
slow the spread of the virus, including social distancing guidelines, quarantines, banning of non-essential travel
and requiring the cessation of non-essential activities on the premises of businesses. In 2022, the Chinese
government implemented lockdowns in two of its larger economic hubs, Shenzhen and Shanghai. Lockdowns in
major economic hubs such as Shenzhen and Shanghai have led to additional supply chain challenges and could
cause delays in the delivery of goods in or around impacted areas, which could both harm our ability to obtain
components for our products in a timely manner, delay the delivery of our products in and around those areas,
delay installation of our products in those areas or affect customer acceptance processes due to resource mobility
restrictions. Any delays in delivering or installing our products could adversely impact the timing of our revenue
recognition. While all of our global manufacturing sites are currently operational, any local pandemic outbreaks
or the advent of new variants could require us to temporarily curtail production levels or temporarily cease
operations based on government mandates.

Despite the wide availability of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. and in other parts of the world, we are
unable to predict how effective they will continue to be in preventing the spread of COVID-19 (including its
variant strains). In addition, although there has been improvement in the global economy since the severe effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic at its onset, many macroeconomic variables remain dynamic and we continue to
experience constraints in our supply chain as discussed below.

Some of the risks associated with the pandemic or a worsening of the pandemic in the future include:

• Cancellation or reduction of routes available from common carriers, which may cause delays in our

ability to deliver or service our products or receive components from suppliers necessary to
manufacture or service our products;

•

Shortages or disruption in the supply chain could affect our ability to procure components for our
products on a timely basis or at all, or could require us to commit to increased purchases and provide
longer lead times to secure critical components, which could increase inventory obsolescence risk
(refer to the Executive Summary in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information on supply constraints related
to the COVID-19 pandemic);

• Travel bans, lockdowns or the requirement to quarantine for a lengthy period after entering a

jurisdiction, which may delay our ability to install the products we sell or service those products
following installation;

• Governmental orders or employee exposure requiring us, our customers or our suppliers to discontinue

manufacturing products at our or their respective facilities for a period of time;

• Continued volatility and uncertainty in customer demand for our products, delivery pushouts or

cancellation of orders by our customers caused by a global recession resulting from the pandemic and
the measures implemented by authorities to slow the spread of COVID-19;

•

Increased costs or inability to acquire components necessary for the manufacture of our products due to
reduced availability or rising inflation;

• Absence of liquidity at customers and suppliers caused by disruptions from the pandemic, which may
hamper the ability of customers to pay for the products they purchase on time or at all, or hamper the
ability of our suppliers to continue to supply components to us in a timely manner or at all; and

• Loss of efficiencies due to remote working requirements for our employees.

19

If any of the foregoing risks occur or intensify during this pandemic, our business, financial condition and

results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Commercial, Operational, Financial and Regulatory Risks

A majority of our annual revenues are derived from outside the US, and we maintain significant
operations outside the US. We are exposed to numerous risks as a result of the international nature of our
business and operations.

A majority of our annual revenues are derived from outside the U.S., and we maintain significant operations

outside the U.S. We expect that these conditions will continue in the foreseeable future. Managing global
operations and sites located throughout the world presents a number of challenges, including but not limited to:

• Global trade issues and changes in and uncertainties with respect to trade policies, including the ability
to obtain required import and export licenses, trade sanctions, tariffs and international trade disputes;

•

•

Political and social attitudes, laws, rules, regulations and policies within countries that favor domestic
companies over non-domestic companies, including customer- or government-supported efforts to
promote the development and growth of local competitors;

Ineffective or inadequate legal protection of intellectual property rights in certain countries;

• Managing cultural diversity and organizational alignment;

• Exposure to the unique characteristics of each region in the global market, which can cause capital

equipment investment patterns to vary significantly from period to period;

•

•

Periodic local or international economic downturns;

Potential adverse tax consequences, including withholding tax rules that may limit the repatriation of
our earnings, and higher effective income tax rates in foreign countries where we do business;

• Compliance with customs regulations in the countries in which we do business;

• Existing and potentially new tariffs or other trade restrictions and barriers (including those applied to

our products, spare parts and services, or to parts and supplies that we purchase);

•

Political instability, natural disasters, legal or regulatory changes, acts of war such as Russia’s invasion
of Ukraine or terrorism in regions where we, our customers or our suppliers have operations or where
we or they do business;

• Rising inflation and fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates may adversely impact our
ability to compete on price with local providers or the value of revenues we generate from our
international business. Although we attempt to manage some of our near-term currency risks through
the use of hedging instruments, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be adequate;

• Our ability to receive prepayments for certain of our products and services sold in certain jurisdictions.
These prepayments increase our cash flows for the quarter in which they are received. If our practice of
requiring prepayments in those jurisdictions changes or deteriorates, our cash flows would be harmed;

• Longer payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable outside of the U.S.;

• Difficulties in managing foreign distributors (including monitoring and ensuring our distributors’

compliance with applicable laws); and

•

Inadequate protection or enforcement of our intellectual property and other legal rights in foreign
jurisdictions.

In addition, government controls, either by the U.S. or other countries, that restrict our business overseas or
restrict our ability to import or export our products and services or increase the cost of our operations through the

20

imposition of broad sanctions, trade restrictions, tariffs, new controls, outright bans, or otherwise, could harm our
business. For example, Commerce has added numerous China-based entities to the U.S. Entity List, including
Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Company, Ltd., Huawei and Semiconductor Manufacturing International
Corporation, restricting our ability to provide products and services to such entities without an export license.
Even if we apply for licenses to sell our products or provide services to companies on Commerce’s U.S. Entity
List, there can be no assurance that licenses will be granted. In addition, Commerce has imposed export licensing
requirements on China-based customers engaged in military end uses or where Commerce has determined there
is a risk of diversion to a military end use, as well as requiring our customers to obtain an export license when
they use certain semiconductor capital equipment based on U.S. technology to manufacture products connected
to Huawei or its affiliates. To date, these rules have not significantly impacted our operations, but we are
continually monitoring their impact. If additional companies are added to Commerce’s U.S. Entity List, or other
licensing requirements or restrictions are imposed, thereby limiting our ability to sell our products or services to
other customers in China, our business could be significantly harmed. Similar actions by the U.S. government or
another country could impact our ability to provide our products and services to existing and potential customers.

Any of the factors above could have a significant negative impact on our business and results of operations.

We are exposed to risks associated with a weakening in the condition of the financial markets and the

global economy.

Demand for our products is ultimately driven by the global demand for electronic devices by consumers and

businesses. Economic uncertainty frequently leads to reduced consumer and business spending, and can cause
our customers to decrease, cancel or delay their equipment and service orders. The tightening of credit markets,
rising interest rates and concerns regarding the availability of credit can make it more difficult for our customers
to raise capital, whether debt or equity, to finance their purchases of capital equipment, including the products we
sell. Reduced demand, combined with delays in our customers’ ability to obtain financing (or the unavailability
of such financing), has at times in the past adversely affected our product and service sales and revenues and
therefore has harmed our business and operating results, and our operating results and financial condition may
again be adversely impacted if economic conditions decline from their current levels.

In addition, a decline in the condition of the global financial markets could adversely impact the market

values or liquidity of our investments. Our investment portfolio includes corporate and government securities,
money market funds and other types of debt and equity investments. Although we believe our portfolio continues
to be comprised of sound investments due to the quality and (where applicable) credit ratings of such
investments, a decline in the capital and financial markets or rising interest rates would adversely impact the
market value of our investments and their liquidity. If the market value of such investments were to decline, or if
we were to have to sell some of our investments under illiquid market conditions, we may be required to
recognize an impairment charge on such investments or a loss on such sales, either of which could have an
adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

If we are unable to timely and appropriately adapt to changes resulting from difficult macroeconomic
conditions, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We might be involved in claims or disputes related to intellectual property or other confidential
information that may be costly to resolve, prevent us from selling or using the challenged technology and
seriously harm our operating results and financial condition.

As is typical in the industries in which we serve, from time to time we have received communications from

other parties asserting the existence of patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights or other intellectual property
rights which they believe cover certain of our products, processes, technologies or information. In addition, we
occasionally receive notification from customers who believe that we owe them indemnification or other
obligations related to intellectual property claims made against such customers by third parties. With respect to

21

intellectual property infringement disputes, our customary practice is to evaluate such infringement assertions
and to consider whether to seek licenses where appropriate. However, there can be no assurance that licenses can
be obtained or, if obtained, will be on acceptable terms or that costly litigation or other administrative
proceedings will not occur. The inability to obtain necessary licenses or other rights on reasonable terms could
seriously harm our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may potentially be subject to
claims by customers, suppliers or other business partners, or by governmental law enforcement agencies, related
to our receipt, distribution and/or use of third-party intellectual property or confidential information. Legal
proceedings and claims, regardless of their merit, and associated internal investigations with respect to
intellectual property or confidential information disputes are often expensive to prosecute, defend or conduct;
may divert management’s attention and other Company resources; and/or may result in restrictions on our ability
to sell our products, settlements on significantly adverse terms or adverse judgments for damages, injunctive
relief, penalties and fines, any of which could have a significant negative effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of future legal proceedings,
claims or investigations. The instigation of legal proceedings or claims, our inability to favorably resolve or settle
such proceedings or claims, or the determination of any adverse findings against us or any of our employees in
connection with such proceedings or claims could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations, as well as our business reputation.

We are exposed to various risks related to the legal, regulatory and tax environments in which we

perform our operations and conduct our business.

We are subject to various risks related to compliance with laws, rules and regulations enacted by legislative

bodies and/or regulatory agencies in the countries in which we operate and with which we must comply,
including environmental, safety, antitrust, anti-corruption/anti-bribery, unclaimed property, economic sanctions
and export control regulations. We have policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with applicable
law, but there can be no assurance our policies and procedures will prove completely effective in ensuring
compliance by all our personnel, business partners and representatives, for whose misconduct we may under
some circumstances be legally responsible. Our failure or inability to comply with existing or future laws, rules
or regulations in the countries in which we operate could result in government investigations and/or enforcement
actions, which could result in significant financial cost (including investigation expenses, defense costs,
assessments and criminal or civil penalties), reputational harm and other consequences that may adversely affect
our operating results, financial condition and ability to conduct our business. For instance, in response to
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S., European Union and other countries have imposed sanctions against
Russia, Belarus and certain other regions, entities and individuals, and may impose additional sanctions, export
controls or other measures. The imposition of sanctions, export controls and other measures could adversely
impact our business including preventing us from performing existing contracts, recognizing revenue, pursuing
new business opportunities or receiving payment for products already supplied or services already performed
with customers.

Additionally, we are subject to various domestic and international environmental laws and regulations,
including those that control and restrict the use, transportation, emission, discharge, storage, and disposal of
certain chemicals, gases and other substances. Any failure to comply with applicable environmental laws,
regulations or requirements may subject us to a range of consequences, including fines, suspension of certain of
our business activities, limitations on our ability to sell our products, obligations to remediate environmental
contamination, and criminal and civil liabilities or other sanctions. Some of these laws impose strict liability for
certain releases, which may require us to incur costs regardless of fault or the legality of actions at the time of
release. In addition, changes in environmental laws and regulations (including any relating to climate change and
greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions) could require us, or others in our value chain, to install additional
equipment, alter operations to incorporate new technologies or processes, or revise process inputs, among other
things, which may cause us to incur significant costs or otherwise adversely impact our business performance.
Various agencies and governmental bodies have expressed particular interest in promulgating rules relating to
climate change. For example, in March 2022, the SEC published a proposed rule that would require companies to

22

provide significantly expanded climate-related disclosures in their Form 10-K, which may require us to incur
significant additional costs to comply and impose increased oversight obligations on our management and Board
of Directors. We also face increasing complexity in our manufacturing, product design and procurement
operations as we adjust to new and prospective requirements relating to the composition of our products,
including restrictions on lead and other substances and requirements to track the sources, production methods, or
provenance of certain metals and other materials. The cost of complying, or of failing to comply, with these and
other regulatory requirements or contractual obligations could adversely affect our operating results, financial
condition and ability to conduct our business.

From time to time, we may receive inquiries, subpoenas, investigative demands or audit notices from

governmental or regulatory bodies, or we may make voluntary disclosures, related to legal, regulatory or tax
compliance matters, and these matters may result in significant financial cost (including investigation expenses,
defense costs, assessments and criminal or civil penalties), reputational harm and other consequences that could
materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. In addition, we may be subject to
new or amended laws, including laws that conflict with other applicable laws, which may impose compliance
challenges and create the risk of non-compliance.

In addition, we may from time to time be involved in legal proceedings or claims regarding employment,
immigration, contracts, product performance, product liability, antitrust, environmental regulations, securities,
unfair competition and other matters. These legal proceedings and claims, regardless of their merit, may be time-
consuming and expensive to prosecute or defend, divert management’s attention and resources, and/or inhibit our
ability to sell our products. There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of current or future legal
proceedings or claims, which could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and ability to
operate our business.

Increasing attention to ESG matters, including any targets or other ESG initiatives, could result in

additional costs or risks or adversely impact our business.

Certain investors, capital providers, shareholder advocacy groups, other market participants, customers and

other stakeholder groups have focused increasingly on companies’ ESG initiatives, including those regarding
climate change, human rights and I&D, among others. This may result in increased costs, changes in demand for
certain types of products, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations and costs, or other adverse impacts on
our business, financial condition or results of operations.

From time to time, we create and publish voluntary disclosures regarding ESG matters. Identification,
assessment, and disclosure of such matters is complex. Many of the statements in such voluntary disclosures are
based on our expectations and assumptions, which may require substantial discretion and forecasts about costs
and future circumstances. Additionally, expectations regarding companies’ management of ESG matters
continues to evolve rapidly, in many instances due to factors that are out of our control. In addition, organizations
that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed rating
processes on evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Such ratings are used by some investors to
inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings could lead to increased negative investor
sentiment toward us, our customers, or our industry, which could negatively impact our share price as well as our
access to and cost of capital. To the extent ESG matters negatively impact our reputation, it may also impede our
ability to compete as effectively to recruit or retain employees, which may adversely affect our operations.

Although we may participate in various voluntary frameworks and certification programs, or establish

voluntary ESG initiatives, to improve the ESG profile of our operations and product offerings, we cannot
guarantee that such efforts will have the intended results. For example, in December 2021, we announced a goal
to use 100% renewable electricity across our global operations by 2030. Our estimates concerning the timing and
cost of implementing this and other goals are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are outside of our
control. Any failure, or perceived failure, to successfully achieve our voluntary goals, or the manner in which we
achieve some or any portion of our goals, could adversely impact our reputation or, to the extent related to

23

sustainability-linked capital sources, financial condition and results of operations. Our ESG efforts may also
include the adoption, or expansion, of certain ESG practices or policies, which may require us to expend
additional resources to implement or to forego certain business opportunities to the extent others in our value
chain do not meet pertinent requirements of such policies. By contrast, any failure, or perceived failure, to
conform to such policies could have an adverse impact on our reputation and business activities. Our
performance may be subject to greater scrutiny as a result of our announcement of any goals or policies and the
publication of our performance against the same. Moreover, despite the voluntary nature of such efforts, we may
receive pressure from external sources, such as lenders, investors or other groups, to adopt more aggressive
climate or other ESG-related initiatives; however, we may not agree that such initiatives will be appropriate for
our business, and we may not be able to implement such initiatives because of potential costs or technical or
operational obstacles. In addition, we note that certain ESG matters are becoming less “voluntary” as regulators,
including the SEC, begin proposing and adopting regulations regarding ESG matters, including, but not limited
to climate change-related matters. To the extent we are subject to increased regulatory requirements, we could
become subject to increased compliance-related costs and risks, including potential enforcement and litigation.
Such ESG matters may also impact our suppliers and customers, which may compound or cause new impacts on
our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We depend on key personnel to manage our business effectively, and if we are unable to attract, retain

and motivate our key employees, our sales and product development could be harmed.

Our employees are vital to our success, and our key management, engineering and other employees are
difficult to replace. We generally do not have employment contracts with our key employees. Further, we do not
maintain key person life insurance on any of our employees. The expansion of high technology companies
worldwide and the elevated demand for talent from the growth in the demand for semiconductors following the
onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand and competition for qualified personnel. Competition
for engineering and other technical personnel in many areas of the world in which we operate is especially
intense due to the proliferation of technology companies worldwide. In addition, current or future immigration
laws, policies or regulations may limit our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel. If we are unable
to attract, onboard and retain key personnel, or if we are not able to attract, assimilate, onboard and retain
additional highly qualified employees to meet our current and future needs, our business and operations could be
harmed.

We outsource a number of services to third-party service providers, which decreases our control over the

performance of these functions. Disruptions or delays at our third-party service providers could adversely
impact our operations.

We outsource a number of services, including our transportation, information systems management and
logistics management of spare parts and certain accounting and procurement functions, to domestic and overseas
third-party service providers. While outsourcing arrangements may lower our cost of operations, they also reduce
our direct control over the services rendered. It is uncertain what effect such diminished control will have on the
quality or quantity of products delivered or services rendered, on our ability to quickly respond to changing
market conditions, or on our ability to ensure compliance with all applicable domestic and foreign laws and
regulations. In addition, many of these outsourced service providers, including certain hosted software
applications that we use for confidential data storage, employ cloud computing technology for such storage.
These providers’ cloud computing systems may be susceptible to “cyber incidents,” such as intentional cyber-
attacks aimed at theft of sensitive data or inadvertent cyber-security compromises, which are outside of our
control. If we do not effectively develop and manage our outsourcing strategies, if required export and other
governmental approvals are not timely obtained, if our third-party service providers pass on the cost of inflation
to us or do not perform as anticipated, or do not adequately protect our data from cyber-related security breaches,
or if there are delays or difficulties in enhancing business processes, we may experience operational difficulties
(such as limitations on our ability to ship products), increased costs, manufacturing or service interruptions or
delays, loss of intellectual property rights or other sensitive data, quality and compliance issues, and challenges

24

in managing our product inventory or recording and reporting financial and management information, any of
which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on secure information technology for our business and are exposed to risks related to

cybersecurity threats and cyber incidents affecting our, our customers’, suppliers’ and other service providers’
systems and networks.

In the conduct of our business, we collect, use, transmit and store data on information systems and networks,

including systems and networks owned and maintained by KLA and/or by third-party providers. This data
includes confidential information, transactional information and intellectual property belonging to us, our
customers and our business partners, as well as personally identifiable information of individuals. Despite
network security and other measures, our, our customers’, suppliers’ and other third-party providers’ information
systems and networks are susceptible to computer viruses, ransomware, cyber-related security breaches and
similar disruptions from unauthorized intrusions, tampering, misuse, or criminal acts made directly against, or
through our third-party providers in the supply chain, and against, our systems and networks, including phishing,
or other events or developments that we may be unable to anticipate or fail to mitigate, including but not limited
to vulnerabilities or misconfigurations in information systems, networks, software or hardware. We have
experienced cyber-related attacks in the past, and are likely to experience cyber-related attacks in the future. Our
security measures may also be breached due to employee errors, malfeasance, or otherwise. Third parties may
also attempt to influence employees, users, suppliers or customers to disclose sensitive information in order to
gain access to our, our customers’ or business partners’ data. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized
access to the information systems change frequently, may not be recognized until launched against a target and
are increasingly designed to circumvent controls, avoid detection and remove or obfuscate forensic artifacts, we
may be unable to anticipate these techniques, implement adequate preventative measures, or adequately identify,
investigate and recover from cybersecurity incidents.

Any cybersecurity incident or occurrence could impact our business directly, or indirectly by impacting
third parties in the supply chain, in many potential ways: disruptions to operations; misappropriation, corruption
or theft of confidential information, including intellectual property and other critical data, of KLA, our customers
or other business partners; misappropriation of funds and Company assets; reduced value of our investments in
research, development and engineering; litigation with, or payment of damages to, third parties; reputational
damage; costs to comply with regulatory inquiries or actions; data privacy issues; costs to rebuild our information
systems and networks; and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs. Cybersecurity incidents
affecting our customers could result in substantial delays in our ability to ship to those customers or install our
products, which could result in delays in revenue recognition or the cancellation of orders, and cybersecurity
incidents affecting our suppliers could result in substantial delays in our ability to obtain necessary components
for our products from those suppliers, which could hamper our ability to ship our products to our customers,
harming our results of operations.

We carry insurance that provides limited protection against the potential losses arising from a cybersecurity

incident but it will not likely cover all such losses, and the losses it does not cover may be significant.

We rely upon certain critical information systems for our daily business operations. Our inability to use

or access our information systems at critical points in time could unfavorably impact our business operations.

Our global operations are dependent upon certain information systems, including telecommunications, the

internet, our corporate intranet, network communications, email and various computer hardware and software
applications. System failures or malfunctions, such as difficulties with our customer relationship management
system, could disrupt our operations and our ability to timely and accurately process and report key components
of our financial results. Our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system is integral to our ability to accurately
and efficiently maintain our books and records, record transactions, provide critical information to our
management, and prepare our financial statements. Any disruptions or difficulties that may occur in connection

25

with our ERP system or other systems (whether in connection with the regular operation, periodic enhancements,
modifications or upgrades of such systems or the integration of our acquired businesses into such systems, or due
to cybersecurity events such as ransomware attacks) could adversely affect our ability to complete important
business processes, such as the evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, operating
results and financial condition.

Acquisitions are an important element of our strategy but, because of the uncertainties involved, we may
not find suitable acquisition candidates and we may not be able to successfully integrate and manage acquired
businesses. We are also exposed to risks in connection with strategic alliances into which we may enter.

In addition to our efforts to develop new technologies from internal sources, part of our growth strategy is to
pursue acquisitions and acquire new technologies from external sources. As part of this effort, in February 2019,
we announced that we had consummated our acquisition of Orbotech. We may also enter into definitive
agreements for and consummate acquisitions of, or significant investments in, businesses with complementary
products, services and/or technologies. There can be no assurance that we will find suitable acquisition
candidates, that we can close such acquisitions or that acquisitions we complete will be successful. In addition,
we may use equity to finance future acquisitions, which would increase our number of shares outstanding and be
dilutive to current stockholders.

If we are unable to successfully integrate and manage acquired businesses, if the costs associated with
integrating the acquired business exceeds our expectations, or if acquired businesses perform poorly, then our
business and financial results may suffer. It is possible that the businesses we have acquired, as well as
businesses we may acquire in the future, may perform worse than expected or prove to be more difficult to
integrate and manage than anticipated. In addition, we may face other risks associated with acquisition
transactions that may lead to a material adverse effect on our business and financial results, including:

• We may have to devote unanticipated financial and management resources to acquired businesses;

• The combination of businesses may result in the loss of key personnel or an interruption of, or loss of

momentum in, the activities of our Company and/or the acquired business;

• We may not be able to realize expected operating efficiencies or product integration benefits from our

acquisitions;

• We may experience challenges in entering into new market segments for which we have not previously

manufactured and sold products;

• We may face difficulties in coordinating geographically separated organizations, systems and facilities;

• The customers, distributors, suppliers, employees and others with whom the companies we acquire

have business dealings may have a potentially adverse reaction to the acquisition;

• We may have difficulty implementing a cohesive framework of controls, procedures and policies

appropriate for a larger, U.S.-based public company at companies that prior to acquisition may not
have as robust controls, procedures and policies, particularly, with respect to the effectiveness of cyber
and information security practices and incident response plans, compliance with data privacy and
protection and other laws and regulations, and compliance with U.S.-based economic policies and
sanctions which may not have previously been applicable to the acquired company’s operations;

• We may have to write off goodwill or other intangible assets; and

• We may incur unforeseen obligations or liabilities in connection with acquisitions including but not
limited to cybersecurity risks associated with integrating our networks or systems with those of
acquired entities.

At times, we may also enter into strategic alliances with customers, suppliers or other business partners with

respect to development of technology and intellectual property. These alliances typically require significant

26

investments of capital and exchange of proprietary, highly sensitive information. The success of these alliances
depends on various factors over which we may have limited or no control and requires ongoing and effective
cooperation with our strategic partners. Mergers and acquisitions and strategic alliances are inherently subject to
significant risks, and the inability to effectively manage these risks could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and operating results.

Disruption of our manufacturing facilities or other operations or those of our suppliers, or in the
operations of our customers, due to earthquake, flood, other natural catastrophic events, health epidemics or
terrorism could result in cancellation of orders, delays in deliveries or other business activities, or loss of
customers and could seriously harm our business.

We have significant manufacturing operations in the U.S., Singapore, Israel, Germany, United Kingdom,
Italy and China. In addition, our business is international in nature, with our sales, service and administrative
personnel and our customers and suppliers located in numerous countries throughout the world. Operations at our
manufacturing facilities and our assembly subcontractors and those of our suppliers, as well as our other
operations and those of our customers, are subject to disruption for a variety of reasons, including work
stoppages, acts of war such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, terrorism, health epidemics and pandemics, fire,
earthquake, volcanic eruptions, energy shortages or power blackouts, flooding or other natural disasters; and
certain of these events may become more frequent or intense as a result of climate change. Such disruption could
cause delays in, among other things, shipments of products to our customers, our ability to perform services
requested by our customers, the ability of our suppliers to supply us components for our products in a timely
manner, or the timely installation and acceptance of our products at customer sites. We cannot provide any
assurance that alternate means of conducting our operations (whether through alternate production capacity or
service providers or otherwise) would be available if a major disruption were to occur or that, if such alternate
means were available, they could be obtained on favorable terms.

In addition, as part of our cost-cutting actions, we have consolidated several operating facilities. Our
California operations are now primarily centralized in our Milpitas facility. The consolidation of our California
operations into a single campus could further concentrate the risks related to any of the disruptive events
described above, such as acts of war or terrorism, earthquakes, fires or other natural disasters, if any such event
were to impact our Milpitas facility.

We are predominantly uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist acts and acts of war. If

international political instability continues or increases, our business and results of operations could be
harmed.

The threat of terrorism targeted at, or acts of war in, the regions of the world in which we do business
increases the uncertainty in our markets. Any act of terrorism or war that affects the economy or the industries
we serve could adversely affect our business. Increased international political instability in various parts of the
world, disruption in air transportation and further enhanced security measures as a result of terrorist attacks may
hinder our ability to do business and may increase our costs of operations. We maintain significant operations in
Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place
between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and a state of hostility varying in degree and intensity has led to security
and economic challenges for Israel. In addition, some of our employees in Israel are obligated to perform annual
reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces, and may be called to active military duty in emergency circumstances.
We cannot assess the impact that emergency conditions in Israel in the future may have on our business,
operations, financial condition or results of operations, but it could be material. Instability in any region could
directly impact our ability to operate our business (or our customers’ ability to operate their businesses), cause us
to incur increased costs in transportation, make such transportation unreliable, increase our insurance costs, and
cause international currency markets to fluctuate. Instability in the region could also have the same effects on our
suppliers and their ability to timely deliver their products. If international political instability continues or
increases in any region in which we do business, our business and results of operations could be harmed. We are
predominantly uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist acts and acts of war.

27

We self-insure certain risks including earthquake risk. If one or more of the uninsured events occurs, we

could suffer major financial loss.

We purchase insurance to help mitigate the economic impact of certain insurable risks; however, certain

risks are uninsurable, are insurable only at significant cost or cannot be mitigated with insurance. Accordingly,
we may experience a loss that is not covered by insurance, either because we do not carry applicable insurance or
because the loss exceeds the applicable policy amount or is less than the deductible amount of the applicable
policy. For example, we do not currently hold earthquake insurance. An earthquake could significantly disrupt
our manufacturing operations, a significant portion of which are conducted in California, an area highly
susceptible to earthquakes. It could also significantly delay our research and engineering efforts on new products,
much of which is also conducted in California. We take steps to minimize the damage that would be caused by an
earthquake, but there is no certainty that our efforts will prove successful in the event of an earthquake. We self-
insure earthquake risks because we believe this is a prudent financial decision based on our cash reserves and the
high cost and limited coverage available in the earthquake insurance market. Certain other risks are also self-
insured either based on a similar cost-benefit analysis, or based on the unavailability of insurance. If one or more
of the uninsured events occurs, we could suffer major financial loss.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Although we hedge certain currency
risks, we may still be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates or declining economic
conditions in these countries.

We have some exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Japanese Yen, the

euro, the pound sterling and the Israeli new shekel. We have international subsidiaries that operate and sell our
products globally. In addition, an increasing proportion of our manufacturing activities are conducted outside of
the U.S., and many of the costs associated with such activities are denominated in foreign currencies. We
routinely hedge our exposures to certain foreign currencies with certain financial institutions in an effort to
minimize the impact of certain currency exchange rate fluctuations, but these hedges may be inadequate to
protect us from currency exchange rate fluctuations. To the extent that these hedges are inadequate, or if there are
significant currency exchange rate fluctuations in currencies for which we do not have hedges in place, our
reported financial results or the way we conduct our business could be adversely affected. Furthermore, if a
financial counterparty to our hedges experiences financial difficulties or is otherwise unable to honor the terms of
the foreign currency hedge, we may experience material financial losses.

We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and the market values of our portfolio investments, and

an impairment of our investments could harm our earnings. In addition, we and our stockholders are exposed
to risks related to the volatility of the market for our common stock.

Our investment portfolio primarily consists of both corporate and government debt securities that are
susceptible to changes in market interest rates and bond yields. As market interest rates and bond yields increase,
those securities with a lower yield-at-cost show a mark-to-market unrealized loss. An impairment of the fair
market value of our investments, even if unrealized, must be reflected in our financial statements for the
applicable period and may, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period.

In addition, the market price for our common stock is volatile and has fluctuated significantly during recent

years. The trading price of our common stock could continue to be highly volatile and fluctuate widely in
response to various factors, including without limitation conditions in the semiconductor industry and other
industries in which we operate, fluctuations in the global economy or capital markets, our operating results or
other performance metrics, or adverse consequences experienced by us as a result of any of the risks described
elsewhere in this Item 1A. Volatility in the market price of our common stock could cause an investor in our
common stock to experience a loss on the value of their investment in us and could also adversely impact our
ability to raise capital through the sale of our common stock or to use our common stock as consideration to
acquire other companies.

28

We are exposed to risks in connection with tax and regulatory compliance audits in various jurisdictions.

We are subject to tax and regulatory compliance audits (such as related to customs or product safety
requirements) in various jurisdictions, and such jurisdictions may assess additional income or other taxes,
penalties, fines or other prohibitions against us. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable and that
our products and practices comply with applicable regulations, the final determination of any such audit and any
related litigation could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals related to
income taxes and other contingencies. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material adverse effect on
our operating results or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made.

A change in our effective tax rate can have a significant adverse impact on our business.

We earn profits in, and are therefore potentially subject to taxes in, the U.S. and numerous foreign

jurisdictions, including Singapore and Israel, the countries in which we earn the majority of our non-U.S. profits.
Due to economic, political or other conditions, tax rates in those jurisdictions may be subject to significant
change. A number of factors may adversely impact our future effective tax rates, such as the jurisdictions in
which our profits are determined to be earned and taxed; changes in the tax rates imposed by those jurisdictions;
expiration of tax holidays in certain jurisdictions that are not renewed; the resolution of issues arising from tax
audits with various tax authorities; changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; adjustments
to estimated taxes upon finalization of various tax returns; increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes,
including write-offs of acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and impairment of goodwill in
connection with acquisitions; changes in available tax credits; changes in stock-based compensation expense;
changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws; changes in generally accepted accounting principles;
and the repatriation of earnings from outside the U.S. for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes.
A change in our effective tax rate can materially and adversely impact our results from operations.

In addition, recent changes to U.S. tax laws will significantly impact how U.S. multinational corporations
are taxed on foreign earnings. We have completed our accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(the “Tax Act”), which was enacted into law on December 22, 2017. However, the recent U.S. tax law changes
are subject to future guidance from U.S. federal and state governments, such as the Treasury Department and/or
the Internal Revenue Service. Any future guidance can change our tax liability. A significant portion of the
income taxes due to the enactment of the Tax Act is payable by us over a period of eight years. As a result, our
cash flows from operating activities will be adversely impacted until the tax liability is paid in full. Numerous
countries are evaluating their existing tax laws due in part, to recommendations made by the Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project.

Compliance with federal securities laws, rules and regulations, as well as NASDAQ requirements, has
become increasingly complex, and the significant attention and expense we must devote to those areas may
have an adverse impact on our business.

Federal securities laws, rules and regulations, as well as NASDAQ rules and regulations, require companies

to maintain extensive corporate governance measures, impose comprehensive reporting and disclosure
requirements, set strict independence and financial expertise standards for audit and other committee members
and impose civil and criminal penalties for companies and their chief executive officers, chief financial officers
and directors for securities law violations. These laws, rules and regulations have increased, and in the future are
expected to continue to increase, the scope, complexity and cost of our corporate governance, reporting and
disclosure practices, which could harm our results of operations and divert management’s attention from business
operations.

A change in accounting standards or practices or a change in existing taxation rules or practices (or
changes in interpretations of such standards, practices or rules) can have a significant effect on our reported
results and may even affect reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective.

New accounting standards and taxation rules and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements and

taxation rules have occurred and will continue to occur in the future. Changes to (or revised interpretations or

29

applications of) existing accounting standards or tax rules or the questioning of current or past practices may
adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business. Adoption of new standards
may require changes to our processes, accounting systems, and internal controls. Difficulties encountered during
adoption could result in internal control deficiencies or delay the reporting of our financial results.

Risks Associated with Our Industry

Ongoing changes in the technology industry, as well as the semiconductor industry in particular, could

expose our business to significant risks.

The industries we serve, including the semiconductor, FPD and PCB industries, are constantly developing

and changing over time. Many of the risks associated with operating in these industries are comparable to the
risks faced by all technology companies, such as the uncertainty of future growth rates in the industries that we
serve, pricing trends in the end-markets for consumer electronics and other products (which place a growing
emphasis on our customers’ cost of ownership), rising inflation in the supply chain and interest rates, changes in
our customers’ capital spending patterns and, in general, an environment of constant change and development,
including decreasing product and component dimensions, use of new materials, and increasingly complex device
structures, applications and process steps. If we fail to appropriately adjust our cost structure and operations to
adapt to any of these trends, or, with respect to technological advances, if we do not timely develop new
technologies and products that successfully anticipate and address these changes, we could experience a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, we face a number of risks specific to ongoing changes in the semiconductor industry, as a
significant majority of our sales are our process control and yield management products sold to semiconductor
manufacturers. The trends our management monitors in operating our business include the following:

• The potential for reversal of the long-term historical trend of declining cost per transistor with each
new generation of technological advancement within the semiconductor industry, and the adverse
impact that such reversal may have upon our business;

• The increasing cost of building and operating fabrication facilities and the impact of such increases on

our customers’ capital equipment investment decisions;

• Differing market growth rates and capital requirements for different applications, such as memory and

foundry/logic;

• Lower level of process control adoption by our memory customers compared to our foundry/logic

customers;

• Our customers’ reuse of existing and installed products, which may decrease their need to purchase

new products or solutions at more advanced technology nodes;

• The emergence of disruptive technologies that change the prevailing semiconductor manufacturing

processes (or the economics associated with semiconductor manufacturing) and, as a result, also impact
the inspection and metrology requirements associated with such processes;

• The higher design costs for the most advanced ICs, which could economically constrain leading-edge

manufacturing technology customers to focus their resources on only the large, technologically
advanced products and applications;

• The possible introduction of integrated products by our larger competitors that offer inspection and
metrology functionality in addition to managing other semiconductor manufacturing processes;

• Changes in semiconductor manufacturing processes that are extremely costly for our customers to

implement and, accordingly, our customers could reduce their available budgets for process control
equipment by reducing inspection and metrology sampling rates for certain technologies;

30

• The bifurcation of the semiconductor manufacturing industry into (a) leading edge manufacturers

driving continued R&D into next-generation products and technologies and (b) other manufacturers
that are content with existing (including previous generation) products and technologies;

• The ever escalating cost of next-generation product development, which may result in joint

development programs between us and our customers or government entities to help fund such
programs that could restrict our control and ownership of and profitability from the products and
technologies developed through those programs; and

• The entry by some semiconductor manufacturers into collaboration or sharing arrangements for

capacity, cost or risk with other manufacturers, as well as increased outsourcing of their manufacturing
activities, and greater focus only on specific markets or applications, whether in response to adverse
market conditions or other market pressures.

Any of the changes described above may negatively affect our customers’ rate of investment in the capital
equipment that we produce, which could result in downward pressure on our prices, customer orders, revenues
and gross margins. If we do not successfully manage the risks resulting from any of these or other potential
changes in our industries, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely impacted.

We are exposed to risks associated with a highly concentrated customer base.

Our customer base, particularly in the semiconductor industry, historically has been highly concentrated due

to corporate consolidation, acquisitions and business closures. In this environment, orders from a relatively
limited number of manufacturers have accounted for, and are expected to continue to account for, a substantial
portion of our sales. This increasing concentration exposes our business, financial condition and operating results
to a number of risks, including the following:

• The mix and type of customers, and sales to any single customer, may vary significantly from quarter

to quarter and from year to year, which exposes our business and operating results to increased
volatility tied to individual customers.

• New orders from our foundry/logic customers in the past several years have constituted a significant
portion of our total orders. This concentration increases the impact that future business or technology
changes within the foundry/logic industry may have on our business, financial condition and operating
results.

•

In a highly concentrated business environment, if a particular customer does not place an order, or if
they delay or cancel orders, we may not be able to replace the business. Furthermore, because our
process control and yield management products are configured to each customer’s specifications, any
changes, delays or cancellations of orders may result in significant, non-recoverable costs.

• As a result of this consolidation, the customers that survive the consolidation represent a greater

portion of our sales and, consequently, have greater commercial negotiating leverage. Many of our
large customers have more aggressive policies regarding engaging alternative, second-source suppliers
for the products we offer and, in addition, may seek and, on occasion, receive pricing, payment,
intellectual property-related or other commercial terms that may have an adverse impact on our
business and we may not be able to pass on the cost of inflation to our customers. Any of these changes
could negatively impact our prices, customer orders, revenues and gross margins.

• Certain customers have undergone significant ownership changes, created alliances with other

companies, experienced management changes or have outsourced manufacturing activities, any of
which may result in additional complexities in managing customer relationships and transactions. Any
future change in ownership or management of our existing customers may result in similar challenges,
including the possibility of the successor entity or new management deciding to select a competitor’s
products.

31

• The highly concentrated business environment also increases our exposure to risks related to the

financial condition of each of our customers. For example, as a result of the challenging economic
environment during fiscal year 2009, we were (and, in some cases, continue to be) exposed to
additional risks related to the continued financial viability of certain of our customers. To the extent
our customers experience liquidity issues in the future, we may be required to incur additional credit
losses with respect to receivables owed to us by those customers. In addition, customers with liquidity
issues may be forced to reduce purchases of our equipment, delay deliveries of our products,
discontinue operations or may be acquired by one of our customers, and, in either case, such event
would have the effect of further consolidating our customer base.

•

•

Semiconductor manufacturers generally must commit significant resources to qualify, install and
integrate process control and yield management equipment into a semiconductor production line. We
believe that once a semiconductor manufacturer selects a particular supplier’s process control and yield
management equipment, the manufacturer generally relies upon that equipment for that specific
production line application for an extended period of time. Accordingly, we expect it to be more
difficult to sell our products to a given customer for that specific production line application and other
similar production line applications if that customer initially selects a competitor’s equipment.

Prices differ among the products we offer for different applications due to differences in features
offered or manufacturing costs. If there is a shift in demand by our customers from our higher-priced to
lower-priced products, our gross margin and revenues would decrease. In addition, when products are
initially introduced, they tend to have higher costs because of initial development costs and lower
production volumes relative to the previous product generation, which can impact gross margin.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating

results.

We operate in industries that have historically been cyclical, including the semiconductor industry. The

purchasing decisions of our customers are highly dependent on the economies of both the local markets in
which they are located and the condition of the industry worldwide. If we fail to respond to industry cycles, our
business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely impacted.

The timing, length and severity of the up-and-down cycles in the industries in which we serve are difficult to

predict. The historically cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry in which we primarily operate is largely a
function of our customers’ capital spending patterns and need for expanded manufacturing capacity, which, in
turn, are affected by factors such as capacity utilization, consumer demand for products, inventory levels and our
customers’ access to capital. Cyclicality affects our ability to accurately predict future revenue and, in some
cases, future expense levels. During down cycles in our industry, the financial results of our customers may be
negatively impacted, which could result not only in a decrease in, or cancellation or delay of, orders (which are
generally subject to cancellation or delay by the customer with limited or no penalty) but also a weakening of
their financial condition that could impair their ability to pay for our products or our ability to recognize revenue
from certain customers. Our ability to recognize revenue from a particular customer may also be negatively
impacted by the customer’s funding status, which could be weakened not only by rising interest rates, adverse
business conditions or inaccessibility to capital markets for any number of macroeconomic or company-specific
reasons, but also by funding limitations imposed by the customer’s unique organizational structure. Any of these
factors could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

When cyclical fluctuations result in lower than expected revenue levels, operating results may be adversely

affected and cost reduction measures may be necessary for us to remain competitive and financially sound.
During periods of declining revenues, we must be in a position to adjust our cost and expense structure to
prevailing market conditions and to continue to motivate and retain our key employees. If we fail to respond, or
if our attempts to respond fail to accomplish our intended results, our business could be seriously harmed.
Furthermore, any workforce reductions and cost reduction actions that we adopt in response to down cycles may
result in additional restructuring charges, disruptions in our operations and loss of key personnel. In addition,

32

during periods of rapid growth, we must be able to increase manufacturing capacity and personnel to meet
customer demand. We can provide no assurance that these objectives can be met in a timely manner in response
to industry cycles. Each of these factors could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.

The growth that we have experienced over the past few years has resulted in higher levels of backlog, or

remaining performance obligations (“RPO”). The supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing pandemic as
well as favorable market trends have led to customers agreeing to purchase equipment from us with lead times
that are longer than our historical experience. As the lead times for delivery of our equipment get longer, the risk
increases that customers may choose to change their equipment orders due to the evolution of the customer’s
technological, production or market needs. This could result in order modifications, rescheduling or even
cancellations that may not be communicated to us in a timely manner, causing RPO to remain elevated until
agreed with the customer. Customer communication delays for orders already placed could affect our ability to
respond quickly in weakening demand environments, which could harm our results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Business Model and Capital Structure

If we do not develop and introduce new products and technologies in a timely manner in response to

changing market conditions or customer requirements, our business could be seriously harmed.

Success in the industries in which we serve, including the semiconductor, FPD and PCB industries depends,

in part, on the continual improvement of existing technologies and rapid innovation of new solutions. The
primary driver of technology advancement in the semiconductor industry has been to shrink the lithography that
prints the circuit design on semiconductor chips. To the extent that driver slows, semiconductor manufacturers
may delay investments in equipment, investigate more complex device architectures, use new materials and
develop innovative fabrication processes. These and other evolving customer plans and needs require us to
respond with continued development programs and cut back or discontinue older programs, which may no longer
have industry-wide support. Technical innovations are inherently complex and require long development cycles
and appropriate staffing of highly qualified employees. Our competitive advantage and future business success
depend on our ability to accurately predict evolving industry standards, develop and introduce new products and
solutions that successfully address changing customer needs, win market acceptance of these new products and
solutions, and manufacture these new products in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our failure to accurately
predict evolving industry standards and develop as well as offer competitive technology solutions in a timely
manner with cost-effective products could result in loss of market share, unanticipated costs and inventory
obsolescence, which would adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

We must continue to make significant investments in R&D in order to enhance the performance, features

and functionality of our products, to keep pace with competitive products and to satisfy customer demands.
Substantial R&D costs typically are incurred before we confirm the technical feasibility and commercial viability
of a new product, and not all development activities result in commercially viable products. There can be no
assurance that revenues from future products or product enhancements will be sufficient to recover the
development costs associated with such products or enhancements. In addition, we cannot be sure that these
products or enhancements will receive market acceptance or that we will be able to sell these products at prices
that are favorable to us. Our business will be seriously harmed if we are unable to sell our products at favorable
prices or if the market in which we operate does not accept our products.

In addition, the complexity of our products exposes us to other risks. We regularly recognize revenue from a

sale upon shipment of the applicable product to the customer (even before receiving the customer’s formal
acceptance of that product) in certain situations, including sales of products for which installation is considered
perfunctory, transactions in which the product is sold to an independent distributor and we have no installation
obligations, and sales of products where we have previously delivered the same product to the same customer
location and that prior delivery has been accepted. However, our products are very technologically complex and
rely on the interconnection of numerous subcomponents (all of which must perform to their respective

33

specifications), so it is conceivable that a product for which we recognize revenue upon shipment may ultimately
fail to meet the overall product’s required specifications. In such a situation, the customer may be entitled to
certain remedies, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results for various periods and, as a
result, our stock price.

We derive a substantial percentage of our revenues from sales of inspection products. As a result, any delay

or reduction of sales of these products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and operating results. The continued customer demand for these products and the development, introduction and
market acceptance of new products and technologies are critical to our future success.

Our success is dependent in part on our technology and other proprietary rights. If we are unable to

maintain our lead or protect our proprietary technology, we may lose valuable assets.

Our success is dependent, in part, on our technology and other proprietary rights. We own various U.S. and

international patents and have additional pending patent applications relating to some of our products and
technologies. The process of seeking patent protection is lengthy and expensive, and we cannot be certain that
pending or future applications will actually result in issued patents or that issued patents will be of sufficient
scope or strength to provide meaningful protection or commercial advantage to us. Other companies and
individuals, including our larger competitors, may develop technologies and obtain patents relating to our
business that are similar or superior to our technology or may design around the patents we own, which may
adversely affect our business. In addition, we at times engage in collaborative technology development efforts
with our customers and suppliers, and these collaborations may constitute a key component of certain of our
ongoing technology and product R&D projects. The termination of any such collaboration, or delays caused by
disputes or other unanticipated challenges that may arise in connection with any such collaboration, could
significantly impair our R&D efforts, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and
operations.

We also maintain trademarks on certain of our products and services and claim copyright protection for
certain proprietary software and documentation. However, we can give no assurance that our trademarks and
copyrights will be upheld or successfully deter infringement by third parties.

While patent, copyright and trademark protection for our intellectual property is important, we believe our

future success in highly dynamic markets is most dependent upon the technical competence and creative skills of
our personnel. We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information through confidentiality
and other agreements with our customers, suppliers, employees and consultants and through other security
measures. We also maintain exclusive and non-exclusive licenses with third parties for strategic technology used
in certain products. However, these employees, consultants and third parties may breach these agreements, and
we may not have adequate remedies for wrongdoing. We also try to control access to and distribution of our
technology and proprietary information. Despite our efforts, internal or external parties may attempt to copy,
disclose, obtain or misappropriate our intellectual property or technology. In addition, former employees may
seek employment with our customers, suppliers 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. In
addition, the laws of certain territories in which we develop, manufacture or sell our products may not protect our
intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S.. In any event, the extent to which we can
protect our trade secrets through the use of confidentiality agreements is limited, and our success will depend to a
significant extent on our ability to innovate ahead of our competitors.

Our future performance depends, in part, upon our ability to continue to compete successfully worldwide.

Our industry includes large manufacturers with substantial resources to support customers worldwide. Some

of our competitors are diversified companies with greater financial resources and more extensive research,
engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and customer service and support capabilities than we possess. We face

34

competition from companies whose strategy is to provide a broad array of products and services, some of which
compete with the products and services we offer. These competitors may bundle their products in a manner that
may discourage customers from purchasing our products, including pricing such competitive tools significantly
below our product offerings. In addition, we face competition from smaller emerging companies whose strategy
is to provide a portion of the products and services that we offer, using innovative technology to sell products
into specialized markets. The strength of our competitive positions in many of our existing markets is largely due
to our leading technology, which is the result of continuing significant investments in product R&D. However,
we may enter new markets, whether through acquisitions or new internal product development, in which
competition is based primarily on product pricing, not technological superiority. Further, some new growth
markets that emerge may not require leading technologies. Loss of competitive position in any of the markets we
serve, or an inability to sell our products on favorable commercial terms in new markets we may enter, could
negatively affect our prices, customer orders, revenues, gross margins and market share, any of which would
negatively affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our business would be harmed if we do not receive parts sufficient in number and performance to meet

our production requirements and product specifications in a timely and cost-effective manner.

We use a wide range of materials in the production of our products, including custom electronic and
mechanical components, and we use numerous suppliers to supply these materials. Generally, we do not have
guaranteed supply arrangements with our suppliers. Because of the variability and uniqueness of customers’
orders, we do not maintain an extensive inventory of materials for manufacturing. Through our business
interruption planning, we seek to minimize the risk of production and service interruptions and/or shortages of
key parts by, among other things, monitoring the financial stability of key suppliers, identifying (but not
necessarily qualifying) possible alternative suppliers and maintaining appropriate inventories of key parts.
Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure that parts are available from multiple suppliers, certain key parts
are available only from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. Also, key parts we obtain from some of
our suppliers incorporate the suppliers’ proprietary intellectual property; in those cases, we are increasingly
reliant on third parties for high-performance, high-technology components, which reduces the amount of control
we have over the availability and protection of the technology and intellectual property that is used in our
products. In addition, if certain of our key suppliers experience liquidity issues and are forced to discontinue
operations, which is a heightened risk, especially during economic downturns, it could affect their ability to
deliver parts and could result in delays for our products. Similarly, especially with respect to suppliers of high-
technology components, our suppliers themselves have increasingly complex supply chains, and delays or
disruptions at any stage of their supply chains may prevent us from obtaining parts in a timely manner and result
in delays for our products, or our suppliers might pass on the cost of inflation to us while we are unable to adjust
pricing with our own customers. Our operating results and business may be adversely impacted if we are unable
to obtain parts to meet our production requirements and product specifications, or if we are able to do so only on
unfavorable terms. Furthermore, a supplier may discontinue production of a particular part for any number of
reasons, including the supplier’s financial condition or business operational decisions, which would require us to
purchase, in a single transaction, a large number of such discontinued parts in order to ensure that a continuous
supply of such parts remains available to our customers. Such “end-of-life” parts purchases could result in
significant expenditures by us in a particular period, and ultimately any unused parts may result in a significant
inventory write-off, either of which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of
operations for the applicable periods. Refer to the Executive Summary in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information on supply
constraints related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

If we fail to operate our business in accordance with our business plan, our operating results, business

and stock price may be significantly and adversely impacted.

We attempt to operate our business in accordance with a business plan that is established annually, revised

frequently (generally quarterly), and reviewed by management even more frequently (at least monthly). Our

35

business plan is developed based on a number of factors, many of which require estimates and assumptions, such
as our expectations of the economic environment, future business levels, our customers’ willingness and ability
to place orders, lead-times, and future revenue and cash flow. Our budgeted operating expenses, for example, are
based in part on our future revenue expectations. However, our ability to achieve our anticipated revenue levels is
a function of numerous factors, including the volatile and historically cyclical nature of our primary industry,
customer order cancellations, macroeconomic changes, operational matters regarding particular agreements, our
ability to manage customer deliveries, the availability of resources for the installation of our products, delays or
accelerations by customers in taking deliveries and the acceptance of our products (for products where customer
acceptance is required before we can recognize revenue from such sales), our ability to operate our business and
sales processes effectively, and a number of the other risk factors set forth in this Item 1A.

Because our expenses are in most cases relatively fixed in the short term, any revenue shortfall below
expectations could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on our operating results. Similarly, if we fail
to manage our expenses effectively or otherwise fail to maintain rigorous cost controls, we could experience
greater than anticipated expenses during an operating period, which would also negatively affect our results of
operations. If we fail to operate our business consistent with our business plan, our operating results in any period
may be significantly and adversely impacted. Such an outcome could cause customers, suppliers or investors to
view us as less stable, or could cause us to fail to meet financial analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates, any of
which could have an adverse impact on our stock price.

In addition, our management is constantly striving to balance the requirements and demands of our

customers with the availability of resources, the need to manage our operating model and other factors. In
furtherance of those efforts, we often must exercise discretion and judgment as to the timing and prioritization of
manufacturing, deliveries, installations and payment scheduling. Any such decisions may impact our ability to
recognize revenue, including the fiscal period during which such revenue may be recognized, with respect to
such products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or stock price.

We have a leveraged capital structure.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $6.73 billion aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness,

consisting of $6.45 billion aggregate principal amount of senior, unsecured long-term notes, of which
$3.00 billion were issued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. As of March 31, 2022, we had in place a Credit
Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) providing for a $1.00 billion unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the
“Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of November 30, 2023. In the fourth quarter of fiscal
2022, we replaced the Prior Credit Agreement and Prior Revolving Credit Facility with a renegotiated Credit
Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and a renegotiated unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving
Credit Facility”) having a maturity date of June 8, 2027 with two one-year extension options that allows us to
borrow up to $1.50 billion. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility may be
increased by an amount up to $250.0 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2022, we had an aggregate
principal amount of $275.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. We may incur additional
indebtedness in the future by accessing the unfunded portion of our Revolving Credit Facility and/or entering
into new financing arrangements. We also announced a stock repurchase program, under which the remaining
available for repurchases was $3.23 billion as of June 30, 2022. A large portion of the remaining repurchases
may be financed with new indebtedness. Our ability to pay interest and repay the principal amount of our current
indebtedness is dependent upon our ability to manage our business operations, our credit rating, the ongoing
interest rate environment and the other risk factors discussed in this Item 1A. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to manage any of these risks successfully.

In certain circumstances involving a change of control followed by a downgrade of the rating of a series of

our Senior Notes (as defined below) by at least two of Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), S&P Global
Ratings (“S&P”) and Fitch Inc. (“Fitch”), unless we have exercised our right to redeem the Senior Notes of such
series, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or, at the holder’s option, any part, of each holder’s

36

Senior Notes of that series pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change
of Control Offer, we will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
of Senior Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Senior Notes repurchased, up to, but
not including, the date of repurchase. We cannot make any assurance that we will have sufficient financial
resources at such time nor that we will be able to arrange financing to pay the repurchase price of that series of
Senior Notes. Our ability to repurchase that series of Senior Notes in such event may be limited by law, by the
relevant indenture associated with that series of Senior Notes, or by the terms of other agreements to which we
may be a party at such time. If we fail to repurchase that series of Senior Notes as required by the terms of such
Senior Notes, it would constitute an event of default under the relevant indenture governing that series of Senior
Notes which, in turn, may also constitute an event of default under our other obligations.

Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate, and an increase in interest
rates, particularly in the current environment of rising interest rates, would require us to pay additional interest on
any borrowings, which may have an adverse effect on the value and liquidity of our debt and the market price of
our common stock could decline. The interest rate under our Revolving Credit Facility is also subject to (i) an
adjustment in conjunction with our credit rating downgrades or upgrades and (ii) an adjustment based on our
performance against certain sustainability key performance indicators (“KPI”) related to GHG emissions and
renewable electricity usage. Additionally, under our Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to comply with
affirmative and negative covenants, which include the maintenance of certain financial ratios, the details of
which can be found in Note 8 “Debt” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

If we fail to comply with these covenants, we will be in default and our borrowings may become

immediately due and payable. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient financial resources nor that
we will be able to arrange financing to repay our borrowings at such time. In addition, certain of our domestic
subsidiaries are required to guarantee our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. In the event we
default on our borrowings, these domestic subsidiaries shall be liable for our borrowings, which could disrupt our
operations and result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or stock price.

Our leveraged capital structure may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and net

income per share.

Our substantial amount of indebtedness could have adverse consequences including, but not limited to:

• A negative impact on our ability to satisfy our future obligations;

• An increase in the portion of our cash flows that may have to be dedicated to interest and principal

payments that may not be available for operations, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions,
investments, dividends, stock repurchases, general corporate or other purposes;

• An impairment of our ability to obtain additional financing in the future; and

• Obligations to comply with restrictive and financial covenants as noted in the above risk factor and

Note 8 “Debt” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our ability to satisfy our future expenses as well as our debt obligations will depend on our future

performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory and other factors. Furthermore,
our future operations may not generate sufficient cash flows to enable us to meet our future expenses and service
our debt obligations, which may impact our ability to manage our capital structure to preserve and maintain our
investment grade rating. If our future operations do not generate sufficient cash flows, we may need to access the
money available for borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility or enter into new financing arrangements to
obtain necessary funds. If we determine it is necessary to seek additional funding for any reason, we may not be
able to obtain such funding or, if funding is available, we may not be able to obtain it on acceptable terms. Any
borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will place further pressure on us to comply with the financial
covenants. If we fail to make a payment associated with our debt obligations, we could be in default on such
debt, and such a default could cause us to be in default on our other obligations.

37

There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends at all or in any particular

amounts.

We intend to continue to pay quarterly dividends subject to capital availability and periodic determinations
by our Board of Directors that cash dividends are in the best interest of our stockholders and are in compliance
with all laws and agreements applicable to the declaration and payment of cash dividends by us. However, future
dividends may be affected by, among other factors: our views on potential future capital requirements for
investments in acquisitions and the funding of our R&D; legal risks; stock repurchase programs; changes in
federal and state income tax laws or corporate laws; changes to our business model; and our increased interest
and principal payments required by our outstanding indebtedness and any additional indebtedness that we may
incur in the future. Our dividend payments may change from time to time, and we cannot provide assurance that
we will continue to declare dividends at all or in any particular amounts. A reduction in our dividend payments
could have a negative effect on our stock price.

We are exposed to risks related to our commercial terms and conditions, including our indemnification of

third parties, as well as the performance of our products.

Although our standard commercial documentation sets forth the terms and conditions that we intend to

apply to commercial transactions with our business partners, counterparties to such transactions may not
explicitly agree to our terms and conditions. In situations where we engage in business with a third party without
an explicit master agreement regarding the applicable terms and conditions, or where the commercial
documentation applicable to the transaction is subject to varying interpretations, we may have disputes with those
third parties regarding the applicable terms and conditions of our business relationship with them. Such disputes
could lead to a deterioration of our commercial relationship with those parties, costly and time-consuming
litigation, or additional concessions or obligations being offered by us to resolve such disputes, or could impact
our revenue or cost recognition. Any of these outcomes could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, in our commercial agreements, from time to time in the normal course of business, we
indemnify third parties with whom we enter into contractual relationships, including customers, suppliers and
lessors, with respect to certain matters. We have agreed, under certain conditions, to hold these third parties
harmless against specified losses, such as those arising from a breach of representations or covenants, third-party
claims that our products, when used for their intended purposes, infringe the intellectual property rights of such
third parties, or other claims made against certain parties. We may be compelled to enter into or accrue for
probable settlements of alleged indemnification obligations, or we may be subject to potential liability arising
from our customers’ involvements in legal disputes. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions related to
limitations on our liability that we seek to include in our business agreements, the counterparties to such
agreements may dispute our interpretation or application of such provisions, and a court of law may not interpret
or apply such provisions in our favor, any of which could result in an obligation for us to pay material damages
to third parties and engage in costly legal proceedings. It is difficult to determine the maximum potential amount
of liability under any indemnification obligations, whether or not asserted, due to our limited history of prior
indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in any particular
claim. Our business, financial condition and results of operations in a reported fiscal period could be materially
and adversely affected if we expend significant amounts in defending or settling any purported claims, regardless
of their merit or outcomes.

We are also exposed to potential costs associated with unexpected product performance issues. Our products
and production processes are extremely complex and, thus, could contain unexpected product defects, especially
when products are first introduced. Unexpected product performance issues could result in significant costs being
incurred by us, including increased service or warranty costs, providing product replacements for (or
modifications to) defective products, litigation related to defective products, reimbursement for damages caused
by our products, product recalls, or product write-offs or disposal costs. These costs could be substantial and

38

could have an adverse impact upon our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, our
reputation with our customers could be damaged as a result of such product defects, which could reduce demand
for our products and negatively impact our business.

Furthermore, we occasionally enter into volume purchase agreements with our larger customers, and these

agreements may provide for certain volume purchase incentives, such as credits toward future purchases. We
believe that these arrangements are beneficial to our long-term business, as they are designed to encourage our
customers to purchase larger volumes of our products. However, these arrangements could require us to
recognize a reduced level of revenue for the products that are initially purchased, to account for the potential
future credits or other volume purchase incentives. Our volume purchase agreements require significant
estimation for the amounts to be accrued depending upon the estimate of volume of future purchases. As such,
we are required to update our estimates of the accruals on a periodic basis. Until the earnings process is
complete, our estimates could differ in comparison to actual results. As a result, these volume purchase
arrangements, while expected to be beneficial to our business over time, could materially and adversely affect
our results of operations in near-term periods, including the revenue we can recognize on product sales and,
therefore, our gross margins.

In addition, we may in limited circumstances enter into agreements that contain customer-specific

commitments on pricing, tool reliability, spare parts stocking levels, response time and other commitments and
we may be unable to adjust pricing with our customers despite rising inflation in our supply chain. Furthermore,
we may give these customers limited audit or inspection rights to enable them to confirm that we are complying
with these commitments. If a customer elects to exercise its audit or inspection rights, we may be required to
expend significant resources to support the audit or inspection, as well as to defend or settle any dispute with a
customer that could potentially arise out of such audit or inspection. To date, we have made no significant
accruals in our Consolidated Financial Statements for this contingency. While we have not in the past incurred
significant expenses for resolving disputes regarding these types of commitments, we cannot make any assurance
that we will not incur any such liabilities in the future. Our business, financial condition and results of operations
in a reported fiscal period could be materially and adversely affected if we expend significant amounts in
supporting an audit or inspection, or defending or settling any purported claims, regardless of their merit or
outcomes.

There are risks associated with our receipt of government funding for research and development.

We are exposed to additional risks related to our receipt of external funding for certain strategic

development programs from various governments and government agencies, both domestically and
internationally. Governments and government agencies typically have the right to terminate funding programs at
any time in their sole discretion, or a project may be terminated by mutual agreement if the parties determine that
the project’s goals or milestones are not being achieved, so there is no assurance that these sources of external
funding will continue to be available to us in the future. In addition, under the terms of these government grants,
the applicable granting agency typically has the right to audit the costs that we incur, directly and indirectly, in
connection with such programs. Any such audit could result in modifications to, or even termination of, the
applicable government funding program. For example, if an audit were to identify any costs as being improperly
allocated to the applicable program, those costs would not be reimbursed, and any such costs that had already
been reimbursed would have to be refunded. We do not know the outcome of any future audits. Any adverse
finding resulting from any such audit could lead to penalties (financial or otherwise), termination of funding
programs, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from receiving future government
funding from the applicable government or government agency, any of which could adversely impact our
operating results, financial condition and ability to operate our business.

39

We have recorded significant restructuring, inventory write-off and asset impairment charges and may do

so again in the future, which could have a material negative impact on our results of operations.

Historically, we have recorded material restructuring charges related to our prior global workforce
reductions, large excess inventory write-offs, and material impairment charges related to our goodwill and
purchased intangible assets. Workforce changes can also temporarily reduce workforce productivity, which could
be disruptive to our business and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, we may not achieve or
sustain the expected cost savings or other benefits of our restructuring plans, or do so within the expected time
frame. If we again restructure our organization and business processes, implement additional cost-reduction
actions or discontinue certain business operations, we may take additional, potentially material, restructuring
charges related to, among other things, employee terminations or exit costs. We may also be required to write off
additional inventory if our product build plans or usage of service inventory decline. Also, as our lead times from
suppliers increase (due to the increasing complexity of the parts and components they provide) and the lead times
demanded by our customers decrease (due to the time pressures they face when introducing new products or
technology or bringing new facilities into production), we may be compelled to increase our commitments, and,
therefore, our risk exposure, to inventory purchases to meet our customers’ demands in a timely manner, and that
inventory may need to be written off if demand for the underlying product declines for any reason. Such
additional write-offs could result in material charges.

We have recorded material charges related to the impairment of our goodwill and purchased intangible

assets. Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the net fair value of net assets acquired in a business
combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with
authoritative guidance for goodwill. Purchased intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over
their respective estimated useful lives based on economic benefit if known or using the straight-line method, and
are reviewed for impairment in accordance with authoritative guidance for long-lived assets. The valuation of
goodwill and intangible assets requires assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including, but not
limited to, declines in our operating cash flows, declines in our stock price or market capitalization, declines in
our market share, and declines in revenues or profits. A substantial decline in our stock price, or any other
adverse change in market conditions, particularly if such change has the effect of changing one of the critical
assumptions or estimates we previously used to calculate the value of our goodwill or intangible assets (and, as
applicable, the amount of any previous impairment charge), could result in a change to the estimation of fair
value that could result in an additional impairment charge.

Any such additional material charges, whether related to restructuring or goodwill or purchased intangible
asset impairment, may have a material negative impact on our operating results and related financial statements.

We are exposed to risks related to our financial arrangements with respect to receivables factoring and

banking arrangements.

We enter into factoring arrangements with financial institutions to sell certain of our trade receivables and
promissory notes from customers without recourse. In addition, we maintain bank accounts with several domestic
and foreign financial institutions, any of which may prove not to be financially viable. If we were to stop entering
into these factoring arrangements, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely
impacted by delays or failures in collecting trade receivables. However, by entering into these arrangements, and
by engaging these financial institutions for banking services, we are exposed to additional risks. If any of these
financial institutions experiences financial difficulties or is otherwise unable to honor the terms of our factoring
or deposit arrangements, we may experience material financial losses due to the failure of such arrangements or a
lack of access to our funds, any of which could have an adverse impact upon our operating results, financial
condition and cash flows.

40

We are subject to the risks of additional government actions in the event we were to breach the terms of

any settlement arrangement into which we have entered.

In connection with the settlement of certain government actions and other legal proceedings related to our

historical stock option practices, we have explicitly agreed as a condition to such settlements that we will comply
with certain laws, such as the books and records provisions of the federal securities laws. If we were to violate
any such law, we might not only be subject to the significant penalties applicable to such violation, but our past
settlements may also be impacted by such violation, which could give rise to additional government actions or
other legal proceedings. Any such additional actions or proceedings may require us to expend significant
management time and incur significant accounting, legal and other expenses, and may divert attention and
resources from the operation of our business. These expenditures and diversions, as well as an adverse resolution
of any such action or proceeding, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction
with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements,
which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Item 1A
“Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (see “Special Note Regarding Forward-
Looking Statements”). Discussions and analysis of fiscal year 2021 as compared against fiscal year 2020 have
been omitted and can be found in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2021, filed with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are a leading supplier of process control and yield management solutions and services for the

semiconductor and related electronics industries. Our broad portfolio of inspection and metrology products, and
related service, software and other offerings, support R&D and manufacturing of ICs, wafers and reticles. Our
products, services and expertise are used by our customers to measure, detect, analyze and resolve critical and
nanometric level product defects, helping them to manage manufacturing process challenges and to obtain higher
finish product yields at lower cost. We also offer advanced technology solutions to address various
manufacturing needs of PCBs, FPDs, Specialty Semiconductor Devices and other electronic components,
including advanced packaging, LED, power devices, compound semiconductor, and data storage industries, as
well as general materials research.

Our semiconductor customers generally operate in one or both of the major semiconductor device

manufacturing markets: memory and foundry/logic. The pervasive and increasing needs for semiconductors in
many consumer and industrial products, the rapid proliferation of new applications for more advanced
semiconductor devices, and the increasing complexity associated with leading edge semiconductor
manufacturing drives demand for our process control and yield management solutions. Other demand trends
include the growth of end-market drivers such as AI, the deployment of 5G telecommunications technology and
associated high-end mobile devices, the electrification and digitalization of the automotive industry, the revival
of personal computer (“PC”) demand and associated innovations to support remote work, virtual collaboration,
remote learning and entertainment, and the growth of the IoT. The favorable end market dynamics are driving
our customers to make increased investments in our process control and yield management solutions as part of
their overall capital investment plans. These trends also drive demand for our other products such as those used
in the PCB, FPD and Specialty Semiconductor manufacturing, where the increase in technology complexity is
expected to continue and further accelerate as more devices become interconnected and dependent on other
electronic devices. As a result of these factors, we saw a general strengthening of demand for our products
throughout fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. While demand for our products remains strong, the recent macro-
economic uncertainty and resulting impact on consumer demand is a development we are monitoring closely.
Some of our customers, particularly in the PC and mobile device end markets, are experiencing market softening
in the past few months, and we have seen memory pricing in those markets weaken as well. While our concerns
are elevated, we continue to see strong demand from our customers. Any push out or cancellation of deliveries by
our customers could cause earnings volatility, due to increases in risk of inventory related charges as well as the
timing of revenue recognition.

We are organized into four reportable segments:

•

Semiconductor Process Control: A comprehensive portfolio of inspection, metrology and data analytics
products as well as related service offerings that help IC manufacturers achieve target yields
throughout the semiconductor fabrication process, from R&D to final volume production.

44

•

•

Specialty Semiconductor Process: Advanced vacuum deposition and etching process tools used by a
broad range of specialty semiconductor customers.

PCB, Display and Component Inspection: a range of inspection, testing and measurement, and direct
imaging for patterning products used by manufacturers of PCBs, FPDs, advanced packaging, MEMS,
and other electronic components.

• Other: products that do not fall into the three segments above.

A majority of our revenues are derived from outside the U.S., and include geographic regions such as China,

Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Europe and Israel, and Rest of Asia. China is emerging as a major region for
manufacturing of logic and memory chips, adding to its role as the world’s largest consumer of ICs. Additionally,
a significant portion of global FPD and PCB manufacturing has migrated to China. Government initiatives are
propelling China to expand its domestic manufacturing capacity and attracting investment from semiconductor
manufacturers from Taiwan, Korea, Japan and the U.S. Although China is currently seen as an important long-
term growth region for the semiconductor and electronics capital equipment sector, Commerce has added certain
China-based entities to the U.S. Entity List, restricting our ability to provide products and services to such
entities without a license. In addition, Commerce has imposed new export licensing requirements on China-based
customers engaged in military end uses, as well as requiring our customers to obtain an export license when they
use certain semiconductor capital equipment based on U.S. technology to manufacture products connected to
Huawei or its affiliates. While these new rules have not significantly impacted our operations to date, such
actions by the U.S. government or another country could impact our ability to provide our products and services
to existing and potential customers and adversely affect our business.

Impact of COVID-19

Events surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in a reduction in economic activity
across the globe in calendar year 2020 and early 2021. Vaccinations and pandemic containment measures have
now created an environment that is driving economic growth, even as the pace of economic recovery remains
uneven in various geographies. On one hand, the semiconductor and capital equipment industry has experienced
multiple growth drivers, including acceleration of the pace of virtual engagement and digitization driven by
COVID-19 related travel restrictions and quarantines. On the other hand, the resumption of growth has caused us
to experience new constraints in our supply chain. Supply chain lead times are extended and shortages have
sometimes required us to plan further ahead and increase our purchase commitments to secure critical
components on a timely basis. We continue to monitor our supply chain and work with our suppliers to identify
and mitigate potential gaps to ensure continuity of supply.

45

While all of our global manufacturing sites are currently operational, any local pandemic outbreaks or
advent of new variants have required and could in the future require us to temporarily curtail production levels or
temporarily cease operations based on government mandates or due to outbreaks affecting our manufacturing
employees. We remain committed to the health and safety of our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers
and communities, and are following government policies and recommendations designed to slow the spread of
COVID-19.

We are working with government authorities in the jurisdictions where we operate, and continue to monitor

our operations in an effort to ensure we follow government requirements, relevant regulations, industry
standards, and best practices to help safeguard our team members, while safely continuing operations to the
extent possible at our sites across the globe.

We may take further actions or alter our business operations that we determine are in the best interests of

our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and stakeholders, or as required by federal, state, or local
authorities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions in
applying our accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical
experience and evaluate them on an ongoing basis to ensure that they remain reasonable under current conditions.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. We discuss the development and selection of the critical
accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, and the Audit
Committee has reviewed our related disclosure in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies that
reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to
aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition. We primarily derive revenue from the sale of process control and process-enabling
solutions for the semiconductor and related electronics industries, maintenance and support of all these products,
installation and training services, and the sale of spare parts. Our portfolio includes yield enhancement and
production solutions for manufacturing wafers and reticles, ICs, packaging, PCBs and FPDs, as well as
comprehensive support and services across our installed base. Our solutions are generally not sold with a right of
return, nor have we experienced significant returns from or refunds to our customers.

We account for a contract with a customer when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the

rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and
collectability of consideration is probable. Our revenues are measured based on consideration stipulated in the
arrangement with each customer, net of any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties,
such as sales taxes. The revenues are recognized as separate performance obligations that are satisfied by
transferring control of the product or service to the customer. Our arrangements with our customers include
various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as
separate performance obligations. A product or service is considered distinct if it is separately identifiable from
other deliverables in the arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that
are readily available to the customer. The transaction consideration, including any sales incentives, is allocated
between separate performance obligations of an arrangement based on the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) for
each distinct product or service. Management considers a variety of factors to determine the SSP, such as
historical stand-alone sales of products and services, discounting strategies and other observable data. From time
to time, our contracts are modified to account for additional, or to change existing, performance obligations. Our
contract modifications are generally accounted for prospectively.

46

Product Revenue

We recognize revenue from product sales at a point in time when we have satisfied our performance
obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer. We use judgment to evaluate whether control
has transferred by considering several indicators, including whether:

• We have a present right to payment;

• The customer has legal title;

• The customer has physical possession;

• The customer has significant risk and rewards of ownership; and

• The customer has accepted the product, or whether customer acceptance is considered a formality
based on history of acceptance of similar products (for example, when the customer has previously
accepted the same tool, with the same specifications, and when we can objectively demonstrate that the
tool meets all of the required acceptance criteria, and when the installation of the system is deemed
perfunctory).

Not all of the indicators need to be met for us to conclude that control has transferred to the customer. In

circumstances in which revenue is recognized prior to the product acceptance, the fair value of revenue
associated with our performance obligations to install the product is deferred and recognized as revenue at a
point in time, once installation is complete.

We enter into volume purchase agreements with some of our customers. We adjust the transaction
consideration for estimated credits earned by our customers for such incentives. These credits are estimated
based upon the forecasted and actual product sales for any given period and agreed-upon incentive rate. The
estimate is updated at each reporting period.

We offer perpetual and term licenses for software products. The primary difference between perpetual and

term licenses is the duration over which the customer can benefit from the use of the software, while the
functionality and the features of the software are the same. Software is generally bundled with post-contract
customer support (“PCS”), which includes unspecified software updates that are made available throughout the
entire term of the arrangement. Revenue from software licenses is recognized at a point in time, when the
software is made available to the customer. Revenue from PCS is deferred at contract inception and recognized
ratably over the service period, or as services are performed.

Services Revenue

The majority of product sales include a standard six to 12-month warranty that is not separately paid for by
the customers. The customers may also purchase extended warranties for periods beyond the initial year as part
of the initial product sale. We have concluded that the standard 12-month warranty as well as any extended
warranty periods included in the initial product sales are separate performance obligations for most of our
products. The estimated fair value of warranty services is deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the
warranty period, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of warranty services
provided by us.

Additionally, we offer product maintenance and support services, which the customer may purchase
separately from the standard and extended warranty offered as part of the initial product sale. Revenue from
separately negotiated maintenance and support service contracts is also recognized over time based on the terms
of the applicable service period. Revenue from services performed in the absence of a maintenance contract,
including training revenue, is recognized when the related services are performed. We also sell spare parts,
revenue from which is recognized when control over the spare parts is transferred to the customer.

47

Significant Judgments

Our contracts with our customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services. Each

product and service is generally capable of being distinct within the context of the contract and represents a
separate performance obligation. Determining the SSP for each distinct performance obligation and allocation of
consideration from an arrangement to the individual performance obligations and the appropriate timing of
revenue recognition are significant judgments with respect to these arrangements. We typically estimate the SSP
of products and services based on observable transactions when the products and services are sold on a stand-
alone basis and those prices fall within a reasonable range. We typically have more than one SSP for individual
products and services due to the stratification of these products by customers and circumstances. In these
instances, we use information such as the size of the customer, geographic region, as well as customization of the
products in determining the SSP. In instances where the SSP is not directly observable, we determine the SSP
using information that includes market conditions, entity-specific factors, including discounting strategies,
information about the customer or class of customer that is reasonably available and other observable inputs.
While changes in the allocation of SSP between performance obligations will not affect the amount of total
revenue recognized for a particular contract, any material changes could impact the timing of revenue
recognition, which could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Although the products are generally not sold with a right of return, we may provide other credits or sales

incentives, which are accounted for either as variable consideration or material right, depending on the specific
terms and conditions of the arrangement. These credits and incentives are estimated at contract inception and
updated at the end of each reporting period if and when additional information becomes available.

As outlined above, we use judgments to evaluate whether or not the customer has obtained control of the

product and consider several indicators in evaluating whether or not control has transferred to the customer. Not
all of the indicators need to be met for us to conclude that control has transferred to the customer.

Contract Assets/Liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections may result in accounts receivable, contract

assets, and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. A receivable is recorded in
the period we deliver products or provide services when we have an unconditional right to payment. Contract
assets primarily relate to the value of products and services transferred to the customer for which the right to
payment is not just dependent on the passage of time. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when
rights to payment become unconditional.

A contract liability is recognized when we receive payment or have an unconditional right to payment in
advance of the satisfaction of performance. The contract liabilities represent (1) deferred product revenue related
to the value of products that have been shipped and billed to customers and for which control has not been
transferred to the customers, and (2) deferred service revenue, which is recorded when we receive consideration,
or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring services to the customer under
the terms of a contract. Deferred service revenue typically results from warranty services, and maintenance and
other service contracts.

Contract assets and liabilities related to rights and obligations in a contract are recorded net in the

Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Business Combinations. Accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant

estimates and assumptions to determine the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the
acquisition date. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made in the past have been
reasonable and appropriate, they are based, in part, on historical experience and information obtained from
management of the acquired companies, and are inherently uncertain. Critical estimates in valuing certain

48

acquired intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows including revenue growth
rate assumptions from product sales, customer contracts and acquired technologies, expected costs to develop
IPR&D into commercially viable products, estimated cash flows from the projects when completed, including
assumptions associated with the technology migration curve, estimated royalty rates used in valuing technology
related intangible assets, and discount rates. The discount rates used to discount expected future cash flows to
present value are typically derived from a weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) analysis and adjusted to
reflect inherent risks. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that could affect either the accuracy or
validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

We allocate the fair value of the purchase price of our acquisitions to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities

assumed, and intangible assets acquired, including IPR&D, based on their estimated fair values at acquisition
date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these net tangible and intangible
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable, but our estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement.
As a result, during the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date, we record
adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the
conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of the purchase price of our
acquisitions, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

The fair value of IPR&D is initially capitalized as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and assessed for

impairment thereafter whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the
IPR&D assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of IPR&D is recorded to R&D expenses. When an IPR&D
project is completed, the IPR&D is reclassified as an amortizable purchased intangible asset and amortized to
costs of revenues over the asset’s estimated useful life.

Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as

incurred.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable
costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Demonstration units are stated at their manufacturing cost and
written down to their net realizable value. We review and set standard costs semi-annually at current
manufacturing costs in order to approximate actual costs. Our manufacturing overhead standards for product
costs are calculated assuming full absorption of forecasted spending over projected volumes, adjusted for excess
capacity. Abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and spoilage
are recognized as current period charges. We write down product inventory based on forecasted demand and
technological obsolescence and service spare parts inventory based on forecasted usage. These factors are
impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes, new product introductions and changes in
strategic direction and require estimates that may include uncertain elements. Actual demand may differ from
forecasted demand, and such differences may have a material effect on recorded inventory values.

Allowance for Credit Losses. A majority of our accounts receivable are derived from sales to large
multinational semiconductor and electronics manufacturers throughout the world. We maintain an allowance for
credit losses for expected uncollectible accounts receivable and assess collectability by reviewing accounts
receivable on a collective basis where similar risk characteristics exist and on an individual basis when we
identify specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. The estimate of expected credit losses
considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable
forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is reviewed on a quarterly basis to assess the adequacy of the
allowance. However, volatility in market conditions and evolving credit trends are difficult to predict and may
cause variability that may have a material impact on our allowance for credit losses in future periods.

49

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans. Compensation expense for RSUs with performance

metrics is calculated based upon expected achievement of the metrics specified in the grant, or when a grant
contains a market condition, the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo
simulation fair value model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the award’s
expected life, the price volatility of the underlying stock, as well as the potential outcomes of the market
condition on the grant date of each award.

Contingencies and Litigation. We are subject to the possibility of losses from various contingencies.
Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the probability and amount of any loss from such contingencies.
An accrual is made when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We accrue a liability and recognize as expense the estimated costs
incurred to defend or settle asserted and unasserted claims existing as of the balance sheet date. See Note 16
“Commitments and Contingencies” and Note 15 “Litigation and Other Legal Matters” to our Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional details.

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets - Impairment Assessments. We review goodwill for

impairment annually during our third fiscal quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Pursuant to the authoritative guidance, we make certain judgments
and assumptions to determine our reporting units and allocate shared assets and liabilities to those reporting
units, which determines the carrying values for each reporting unit. When assessing goodwill for impairment, an
initial assessment of qualitative factors determines whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates it
is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Judgments related to
qualitative factors include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall
financial performance, relevant entity-specific events, a sustained decrease in share price and other events
affecting the reporting units. If we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less
than its carrying value, a quantitative test is then performed by estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and
comparing it to its carrying value including goodwill. If the former is lower, goodwill is written down by the
excess amount, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. See Note 7 “Goodwill and
Purchased Intangible Assets” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

We determine the fair value of a reporting unit using the market approach when deemed appropriate and the
necessary information is available, or the income approach which uses discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis, or
a combination of both. If multiple valuation methodologies are used, the results are weighted. Determining fair
value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgments about appropriate discount rates,
revenue growth rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. Discount rates are based on a
WACC, which represents the average rate a business must pay its providers of debt and equity, plus a risk
premium. The WACC used to test goodwill is derived from a group of comparable companies. The cash flows
employed in the DCF analysis are derived from internal forecasts and external market forecasts. The market
approach estimates the fair value of the reporting unit by utilizing the market comparable method which is based
on revenue and earnings multiples from comparable companies.

We review purchased finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives
of the assets are shorter than initially expected. We determine whether finite-lived intangible assets are
recoverable based on the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows that are expected to be generated by the
lowest-level associated asset grouping. Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives
of our intangible assets are complex and subjective. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the recoverability test
are less than the long-lived assets’ carrying value, we recognize an impairment loss for the amount that the
carrying value exceeds the fair value.

We review indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business

circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The authoritative

50

accounting guidance allows a qualitative approach for testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment,
similar to the impairment testing guidance for goodwill. It allows the option to first assess qualitative factors
(events and circumstances) that could have affected the significant inputs used in determining the fair value of
the indefinite-lived intangible asset. The qualitative factors assist in determining whether it is more-likely-
than-not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. An organization may choose to bypass the
qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to calculating
its fair value. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets are IPR&D intangible assets.

Any impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and net asset value in

the quarter in which we recognize the impairment charge. See Note 7 “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible
Assets” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which requires

income tax effects for changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the law is enacted.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary
differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. The guidance also requires that
deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred
tax asset will not be realized. We have determined that a valuation allowance is necessary against a portion of the
deferred tax assets, but we anticipate that our future taxable income will be sufficient to recover the remainder of
our deferred tax assets. However, should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets that
are not subject to a valuation allowance, we could be required to record an additional valuation allowance against
such deferred tax assets. This would result in an increase to our tax provision in the period in which we determine
that the recovery is not probable.

On a quarterly basis, we provide for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate.

The effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic composition of worldwide earnings, tax
regulations governing each region, availability of tax credits and the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies.
We carefully monitor the changes in many factors and adjust our effective income tax rate on a timely basis. If
actual results differ from these estimates, this could have a material effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax

regulations. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we
recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax
position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not
that the position will be sustained in audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any.
The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized
upon ultimate settlement. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is
based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively
settled issues under audit and new audit activities. Any change in these factors could result in the recognition of a
tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

We record income taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries’
earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. Our effective tax rate would be adversely
affected if we change our intent or if such undistributed earnings are needed for U.S. operations because we
would be required to provide or pay income taxes on some or all of these undistributed earnings.

Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income. The Tax Act includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed

Income (“GILTI”) wherein U.S. taxes on foreign income are imposed in excess of a deemed return on tangible
assets of foreign corporations. This income is effectively taxed at a 10.5% tax rate in general. We elect to account
for GILTI as a component of current period tax expense and not recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the basis differences expected to reverse as a result of GILTI provisions.

Product revenues

Our business is affected by the concentration of our customer base and our customers’ capital equipment
procurement schedules as a result of their investment plans. Our product revenues in any particular period are
significantly impacted by the amount of new orders that we receive during that period and, depending upon the
duration of manufacturing and installation cycles, in the preceding period. Revenue is also impacted by average
customer pricing, customer revenue deferrals associated with volume purchase agreements and the effect of
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

The increase in product revenues by 39% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior fiscal

year is primarily attributable to strong demand for many of our products, especially our inspection, metrology
and specialty semiconductor process portfolios as customers prioritize technology development investments and
also expand their capacity to meet resilient semiconductor end customer demand.

Service revenues

Service revenues are generated from product maintenance and support services, as well as billable time and

material service calls made to our customers. The amount of our service revenues is typically a function of the
number of systems installed at our customers’ sites and the utilization of those systems, but it is also impacted by
other factors, such as our rate of service contract renewals, the types of systems being serviced and fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates.

The increase in service revenues by 14% in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year is

primarily attributable to an increase in our installed base.

Revenue from our Semiconductor Process Control segment increased by 38% in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year primarily due to a strong demand for many of our products, especially
from our inspection and metrology portfolios. The increase in revenues from our Specialty Semiconductor
Process segment, which comprises etching and deposition solutions for advanced packaging and specialty
semiconductor markets, is primarily driven by advances in the IC packaging technology roadmap and growth in
demand for automotive power, RF filters and MEMS devices. The revenue from our PCB, Display and
Component Inspection segment was relatively flat in fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021.

A significant portion of our revenues continues to be generated in Asia, where a substantial portion of the

world’s semiconductor manufacturing capacity is located, and we expect that trend to continue.

Gross margin

Our gross margin fluctuates with revenue levels and product mix and is affected by variations in costs
related to manufacturing and servicing our products, including our ability to scale our operations efficiently and
effectively in response to prevailing business conditions.

The following table summarizes the major factors that contributed to the changes in gross margin:

Changes in gross margin, which are driven by the revenue volume of products and services, reflect our
ability to leverage existing infrastructure to generate higher revenues. Changes in gross margin from the mix of
products and services sold reflect the impact of changes within the composition of product and service offerings,
and amortization of inventory fair value adjustments from business combinations. Changes in gross margin from
manufacturing labor, overhead and efficiencies reflect our ability to manage costs and drive productivity as we
scale our manufacturing activity to respond to customer requirements, and amortization of intangible assets.
Changes in gross margin from other service and manufacturing costs include the impact of customer support
costs, including the efficiencies with which we deliver services to our customers, and the effectiveness with
which we manage our production plans and inventory risk.

The increase in our gross margin from 59.9% to 61.0% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 is
primarily attributable to a higher revenue volume of products and services sold and a more profitable mix of
products and services sold, partially offset by an increase in service and manufacturing costs.

(1) Segment gross profit is calculated as segment revenues less segment costs of revenues and excludes

corporate allocations, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, amortization of intangible
assets, inventory fair value adjustments, and acquisition-related costs. For additional details, refer to Note 19
“Segment Reporting and Geographic Information” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The primary factors impacting the performance of our segment gross profits for fiscal year 2022 compared

to fiscal year 2021 are summarized as follows:

•

Semiconductor Process Control segment gross profit increased due to a more profitable mix of
products and services sold, partially offset by an increase in service and manufacturing costs.

• The segment gross profits of the Specialty Semiconductor Process segment increased primarily due to a

more favorable mix of products and services sold as well as a higher revenue volume.

• The segment gross profits of the PCB, Display and Component Inspection and Other segments

decreased primarily due to a less favorable mix of products and services sold as well as an increase in
other service and manufacturing costs.

R&D expenses may fluctuate with product development phases and project timing as well as our R&D

efforts. As technological innovation is essential to our success, we may incur significant costs associated with
R&D projects, including compensation for engineering talent, engineering material costs and other expenses.

R&D expenses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 increased compared to the fiscal year ended

June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses of $149.4 million as a result of
additional engineering headcount, higher employee benefit costs and higher variable compensation, higher
consulting costs of $9.5 million and an IPR&D write-off of $6.0 million.

Our future operating results will depend significantly on our ability to produce products and provide
services that have a competitive advantage in our marketplace. To do this, we believe that we must continue to
make substantial and focused investments in our R&D. We remain committed to product development in new
and emerging technologies.

Goodwill Impairment

We performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill as of February 28, 2022 and concluded that

goodwill was not impaired.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, as a result of our annual goodwill impairment testing for all

reporting units, we recorded $144.2 million and $112.5 million in impairment charges in the Specialty
Semiconductor Process and PCB and Display reporting units, respectively, in the three months ended March 31,
2020.

Restructuring Charges

Over the last few years, management approved plans to streamline our organization and business processes,

which included reductions of workforce.

Restructuring charges were $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Restructuring charges were

$12.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2021 and included $3.9 million of non-cash charges for accelerated
depreciation related to certain right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and fixed assets to be abandoned. Restructuring
charges were $7.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2020.

For additional information refer to Note 20 “Restructuring Charges” to our Consolidated Financial

Statements.

The increase in interest expense during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 compared to the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to higher interest expense on our Revolving Credit Facility, which is
described further in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below.

Other expense (income), net is comprised primarily of fair value adjustments and realized gains or losses on

sales of marketable and non-marketable securities, gains or losses from revaluations of certain foreign currency
denominated assets and liabilities as well as foreign currency contracts, interest-related accruals (such as interest
and penalty accruals related to our tax obligations) and interest income earned on our invested cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities.

The increase in other expense (income), net during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 compared to the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a fair value loss of $18.9 million from an equity security in
the current fiscal year following initial fair value gains of $26.7 million when it became marketable in the prior
fiscal year, as well as a $4.4 million gain recorded in the prior fiscal year due to the sale of our interest in PixCell
Medical Technologies Ltd. These were partially offset by a gain from the sale of an investment of $27.7 million
in fiscal year 2022.

56

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, loss on extinguishment of debt reflected a pre-tax net loss of $22.5

million associated with the redemption of our $500.0 million of Senior Notes due 2021, including associated
redemption premiums, accrued interest and other fees and expenses.

Tax expense was lower as a percentage of income before taxes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022

compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to the impact of the following items:

• Tax expense decreased by $392.7 million relating to a non-recurring tax benefit resulting from the

intra-entity transfers of certain intellectual property rights during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022;

• Tax expense decreased by $29.3 million relating to the impact of an increase in the proportion of

KLA’s earnings generated in jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2022; partially offset by

• Tax expense increased by $93.4 million relating to an increase in our unrecognized tax benefit during

the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022; and

• Tax expense increased by $21.2 million relating to a non-deductible decrease in the assets held within

our Executive Deferred Savings Plan (“EDSP”) during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as tax legislation, the geographic

composition of our pre-tax income, the amount of our pre-tax income as business activities fluctuate,
non-deductible expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, R&D credits as a percentage of aggregate
pre-tax income, non-taxable or non-deductible increases or decreases in the assets held within our EDSP, the tax
effects of employee stock activity and the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies.

For discussions on tax examinations, assessments and certain related proceedings, see Note 14 “Income

Taxes” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities:

As of June 30, 2022, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $2.71 billion, which
represents an increase of $213.5 million from June 30, 2021. The increase is mainly due to net cash provided by
operating activities of $3.31 billion and net proceeds from issuance of debt, including net draws on our Prior
Revolving Credit Facility and our Revolving Credit Facility, of $3.22 billion, partially offset by stock
repurchases of $3.97 billion, cash paid for purchase of forward contract for accelerated share repurchases of
$900.0 million, cash used for payments of dividends and dividend equivalents of $638.5 million, cash paid for
business acquisitions of $479.1 million, capital expenditures of $307.3 million and net cash usage of
$118.5 million related to the purchases, sales and maturities of available-for-sale and trading securities.

As of June 30, 2022, $1.29 billion of our $2.71 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities

were held by our foreign subsidiaries and branch offices. We currently intend to indefinitely reinvest
$77.1 million of the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our foreign subsidiaries for which
we assert that earnings are permanently reinvested. If, however, a portion of these funds were to be repatriated to
the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay state and foreign taxes of approximately 1%-22% of the funds
repatriated. The amount of taxes due will depend on the amount and manner of the repatriation, as well as the
location from which the funds are repatriated. We have accrued state and foreign tax on the remaining cash of
$1.21 billion of the $1.29 billion held by our foreign subsidiaries and branch offices. As such, these funds can be
returned to the U.S. without accruing any additional U.S. tax expense.

Cash Dividends:

The total amounts of regular quarterly cash dividends and dividends equivalents paid during the fiscal years

ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $638.5 million, $559.4 million and $522.4 million, respectively. The
increase in the amount of regular quarterly cash dividends and dividends equivalents paid during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021 reflected the increase in the level of our regular quarterly cash
dividend from $0.90 to $1.05 per share that was instituted during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
The amounts of accrued dividend equivalents payable for regular quarterly cash dividends on unvested RSUs
with dividend equivalent rights were $11.2 million and $10.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The settlement of the accrued dividend equivalents will occur upon vesting of the underlying unvested RSUs as
described in Note 10 “Equity, Long-term Incentive Compensation Plans and Non-Controlling Interest” to our
Consolidated Financial Statements.

58

On August 4, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend of

$1.30 per share. Refer to Note 21 “Subsequent Events” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding the declaration of our quarterly cash dividend announced subsequent to June 30, 2022.

Stock Repurchases:

The shares repurchased under our stock repurchase program have reduced our basic and diluted weighted-
average shares outstanding for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Our stock repurchase program is
intended, in part, to mitigate the potential dilutive impact related to our equity incentive plans and shares issued
in connection with our ESPP as well as to return excess cash to our stockholders. As of March 31, 2022 an
aggregate of $0.70 billion was available for repurchase under our stock repurchase program. In June 2022, the
Board of Directors authorized an additional $6.00 billion for share repurchases. On June 23, 2022, the Company
executed ASR Agreements with two financial institutions to repurchase shares of our common stock in exchange
for an upfront payment of $3.00 billion. The Company received initial deliveries totaling approximately
6.5 million shares on June 24, 2022, which represented 70% of the prepayment amount at the then prevailing
market price of the Company’s shares of stock. The initial shares delivered were retired immediately upon
settlement and treated as repurchases of the Company’s common stock for purposes of earnings per share
calculations. The value of the shares yet to be delivered to the Company for the remainder of the upfront payment
of approximately $0.90 billion was recorded as an unsettled forward contract, classified within stockholders’
equity. The delivery of any remaining shares would occur at the final settlement of the transactions under the
ASR Agreements, which is scheduled for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, subject to earlier termination under
certain limited circumstances, as set forth in the ASR Agreements. The total number of shares received under the
ASR Agreements will be based on the volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s stock during the term
of the ASR Agreements, less an agreed-upon discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the ASR Agreements.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities:

We have historically financed our liquidity requirements through cash generated from operations. Net cash
provided by operating activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 increased by $1.13 billion compared
to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, from $2.19 billion to $3.31 billion, primarily as a result of the following
factors:

• An increase in collections of approximately $2.6 billion mainly driven by higher shipments during the

fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021; and

• An increase in gains from currency and interest rate derivatives used for risk management purposes of
approximately $99 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 compared to the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2021; partially offset by the following items:

• An increase in accounts payable payments of approximately $1.1 billion during the fiscal year ended

June 30, 2022 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021;

• An increase in employee-related payments of approximately $292 million during the fiscal year ended

June 30, 2022 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021; and

• An increase in income tax payments of approximately $128 million during the fiscal year ended

June 30, 2022 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was $876.5 million
compared to $500.4 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This increase in cash used was mainly
due to an increase in cash paid for business acquisitions of $479.1 million and an increase in cash paid to
purchase fixed assets of $75.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in net purchases of available for sale and
trading securities of $169.6 million.

59

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities:

Net cash used in financing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was $2.26 billion compared

to $1.50 billion during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This increase was mainly due to an increase in cash
used for stock repurchases of $3.03 billion, cash paid for purchase of forward contract for accelerated share
repurchases of $900.0 million and an increase cash paid for dividends and dividend equivalents of $79.2 million,
partially offset by an increase in net debt proceeds of $3.25 billion.

Senior Notes:

In June 2022, we issued $3.00 billion (“2022 Senior Notes”) aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured

notes as follows: $1.00 billion of 4.650% senior, unsecured notes due July 15, 2032; $1.20 billion of 4.950%
senior, unsecured notes due July 15, 2052; and $800.0 million of 5.250% senior, unsecured notes due July 15,
2062. A portion of the net proceeds of the 2022 Senior Notes are intended to be used to purchase up to a
maximum aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million of our 2014 Senior Notes due 2024; refer to Note 21
“Subsequent Events” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the purchase of a portion
of our Senior Notes due 2024. The remainder of the net proceeds were used for share repurchases and for general
corporate purposes.

In February 2020, March 2019 and November 2014, we issued $750.0 million, $1.20 billion and

$2.50 billion, respectively (the “2020 Senior Notes,” “2019 Senior Notes” and “2014 Senior Notes,” respectively,
and collectively with the 2022 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”), aggregate principal amount of senior,
unsecured notes. In February 2020, October 2019 and November 2017, we repaid $500.0 million, $250.0 million
and $250.0 million of the Senior Notes, respectively.

In February 2020, S&P upgraded its credit rating of the Company to “BBB+” and revised its outlook to
stable, which permanently eliminated interest rate adjustments and the interest rate on the 2014 Senior Notes
became fixed. The interest rates for each series of the 2020 Senior Notes and 2019 Senior Notes are not subject to
credit-rating-based rate adjustments.

Since fiscal 2015, we have entered into four sets of forward contracts to lock the benchmark interest rate on
portions of our Senior Notes prior to issuance (“Rate Lock Agreements”). Upon issuance of the associated debt,
the Rate Lock Agreements were settled and their fair values were recorded within accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss). The resulting gains and losses from these transactions are amortized to interest
expense over the lives of the associated debt. For additional details on the forward contracts, refer to Note 17
“Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The original discounts on the 2022 Senior Notes, the 2020 Senior Notes, the 2019 Senior Notes and the
2014 Senior Notes amounted to $12.8 million, $0.3 million, $6.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and are
being amortized over the life of the debt. Interest is payable as follows: semi-annually on January 15 and July 15
of each year for the 2022 Senior Notes; semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year for the 2020
Senior Notes; semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year for the 2019 Senior Notes; and semi-
annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year for the 2014 Senior Notes. The relevant indentures for the
Senior Notes (collectively, the “Indenture”) include covenants that limit our ability to grant liens on our facilities
and enter into sale and leaseback transactions.

In certain circumstances involving a change of control followed by a downgrade of the rating of a series of

Senior Notes by at least two of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, unless we have exercised our rights to redeem the
Senior Notes of such series, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or, at the holder’s option, any
part, of each holder’s Senior Notes of that series pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. In the Change of
Control Offer, we will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of
Senior Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Senior Notes repurchased, up to, but
not including, the date of repurchase.

60

As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Indenture associated with

the Senior Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility:

As of March 31, 2022, we had in place the Prior Credit Agreement providing for a $1.00 billion five-year
unsecured Prior Revolving Credit Facility with a maturity date of November 30, 2023. In the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2022, we replaced the Prior Credit Agreement and Prior Revolving Credit Facility with the Credit
Agreement and the Revolving Credit Facility having a maturity of June 8, 2027 that allows us to borrow up to
$1.50 billion. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by an
amount up to $250.0 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2021, we had no aggregate principal amount of
borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, we borrowed
$600.0 million from the Prior Revolving Credit Facility and made principal payments of $600.0 million. As of
June 30, 2022, we had an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility, which was borrowed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

We may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the Revolving Credit Facility until the maturity date, at

which time we may exercise two one-year extension options with the consent of the lenders. We may prepay
outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without a prepayment penalty.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility can be made as Term Secured Overnight Financing

(“SOFR”) Loans or Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans, at the Company’s option. In the event that Term SOFR
is unavailable, any Term SOFR elections will be converted to Daily Simple SOFR, as long as it is available. Each
Term SOFR Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Adjusted Term SOFR rate, which
is equal to the applicable Term SOFR rate plus 10 bps that shall not be less than zero, plus a spread ranging from
75 bps to 125 bps, as determined by the Company’s credit ratings at the time. Each ABR Loan will bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus a spread ranging from 0 bps to 25 bps, as determined by the
Company’s credit ratings at the time. We are also obligated to pay an annual commitment fee on the daily
undrawn balance of the Revolving Credit Facility, which ranges from 4.5 bps to 12.5 bps, subject to an
adjustment in conjunction with changes to our credit rating. The applicable interest rates and commitment fees
are also subject to adjustment based on the Company’s performance against certain environmental sustainability
KPI related to GHG emissions and renewable electricity usage. As of June 30, 2022, the all-in interest rate of the
$275.0 million outstanding Term SOFR loans reflected the applicable adjusted Term SOFR plus a spread of 100
bps and the applicable commitment fee on the daily undrawn balance of the Revolving Credit Facility was 9 bps.

The Prior Revolving Credit Facility required us to maintain an interest expense coverage ratio as described

in the Prior Credit Agreement, on a quarterly basis, covering the trailing four consecutive fiscal quarters of no
less than 3.50 to 1.00. The Revolving Credit Facility removed that requirement. The maximum leverage ratio as
described in the Credit Agreement, on a quarterly basis, is 3.50 to 1.00, covering the trailing four consecutive
fiscal quarters for each fiscal quarter, which can be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for a period of time in connection
with a material acquisition or a series of material acquisitions. As of June 30, 2022, our maximum allowed
leverage ratio was 3.50 to 1.00.

We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022 (the leverage
ratio was 1.61 to 1.00). Considering our current liquidity position, short-term financial forecasts and ability to
prepay the Revolving Credit Facility, if necessary, we expect to continue to be in compliance with our financial
covenants at the end of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.

$17,057,811

$3,670,963

$13,386,848

(1) Represents $6.45 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due from fiscal year 2025 to fiscal year

2063.

(2) The interest payments associated with the Senior Notes payable included in the table above are based on the
principal amount multiplied by the applicable interest rate for each series of Senior Notes. As of June 30,
2022, the interest payment under the Revolving Credit Facility for the undrawn balance is payable at 9 bps
as a commitment fee based on the daily undrawn balance, and we utilized the existing rate for the projected
interest payments included in the table above. Our future interest payments for the Revolving Credit Facility
are subject to change due to any upgrades or downgrades to our then effective credit rating as well as the
Company’s performance against certain environmental sustainability KPIs related to GHG emissions and
renewable electricity usage.

(3) Represents an estimate of significant commitments to purchase inventory from our suppliers as well as an
estimate of significant purchase commitments associated with goods, services and other assets in the
ordinary course of business. Our obligation under these purchase commitments is generally restricted to a
forecasted time-horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time-horizon can vary

62

among different suppliers. Actual expenditures will vary based upon the volume of the transactions and
length of contractual service provided. In addition, the amounts paid under these arrangements may be less
in the event the arrangements are renegotiated or canceled. Certain agreements provide for potential
cancellation penalties.

(4) Represents the estimated income tax payable obligation related to uncertain tax positions as well as related
accrued interest. We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in
individual years due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes.

(5) Operating lease obligations represent the undiscounted lease payments under non-cancelable leases, but

exclude non-lease components.

(6) As part of our employee compensation program, we issue cash-based long-term incentive (“Cash LTI”)
awards to many of our employees. Cash LTI awards issued to employees under the Cash Long-Term
Incentive Plan (“Cash LTI Plan”) generally vest in three or four equal installments. The amounts in the table
above are those committed under the Cash LTI Plan; the expected total payment after estimated forfeitures
is approximately $166 million. For additional details, refer to Note 10 “Equity, Long-term Incentive
Compensation Plans and Non-Controlling Interest” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

(7) Represents an estimate of expected benefit payments up to fiscal year 2032 that was actuarially determined
and excludes the minimum cash required to contribute to our defined benefit pension plans. As of June 30,
2022, our defined benefit pension plans do not have material required minimum cash contribution
obligations.

(8) Represents the amount committed under our non-qualified executive deferred compensation plan. We are
unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years due to the
uncertainties in the timing around participant’s separation and any potential changes that participants may
decide to make to the previous distribution elections.

(9) Represents the transition tax liability associated with our deemed repatriation of accumulated foreign

earnings resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act into law on December 22, 2017.

(10) Represents severance payments due upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in

certain other circumstances as required under Israeli law.

(11) Represents amounts committed for accrued dividends payable for quarterly cash dividends for unvested

RSUs granted with dividend equivalent rights. For additional details, refer to Note 10 “Equity, Long-term
Incentive Compensation Plans and Non-Controlling Interest” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Working Capital:

Working capital was $4.30 billion as of June 30, 2022, which represents an increase of $704.8 million
compared to our working capital as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity
consisted of $2.71 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our liquidity may be affected by
many factors, some of which are based on the normal ongoing operations of the business, spending for business
acquisitions, and other factors such as uncertainty in the global and regional economies and the semiconductor,
semiconductor-related and electronic device industries. Although cash requirements will fluctuate based on the
timing and extent of these factors, we believe that cash generated from operations, together with the liquidity
provided by existing cash and cash equivalents balances and our $1.50 billion Revolving Credit Facility, will be
sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements associated with working capital needs, capital expenditures, cash
dividends, stock repurchases and other contractual obligations, including repayment of outstanding debt, for at
least the next 12 months.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange

rates and marketable equity security prices. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments,
such as foreign currency hedges. All of the potential changes noted below are based on sensitivity analyses
performed on our financial position as of June 30, 2022. Actual results may differ materially.

As of June 30, 2022, we had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities of $1.01 billion. These
securities, as with all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market
interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 100 bps from levels
as of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the portfolio would have declined by $9.4 million.

The fair market value of long-term fixed interest rate notes is subject to interest rate risk. The fair market
value of fixed interest rate notes will increase as market interest rates fall and decrease as market interest rates
rise. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value and the book value of our Senior Notes due in various fiscal years
ranging from 2025 to 2063 were $6.39 billion and $6.45 billion, respectively. Since February 2020, the interest
rates on our Senior Notes have not been subject to credit-rating based rate adjustments.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we replaced the Prior Credit Agreement and Prior Revolving Credit
Facility with a renegotiated Credit Agreement and renegotiated unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. Subject to
the terms of Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility allows us to borrow up to $1.50 billion, has a
maturity date of June 8, 2027 with two one-year extension options, and may be increased by an amount up to
$250.0 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2022, we had an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Each Term SOFR Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable Adjusted Term SOFR rate, which is equal to the applicable Term SOFR rate plus 10 bps
that shall not be less than zero, plus a spread ranging from 75 bps to 125 bps, as determined by the Company’s
credit ratings at the time. The fair value of the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to
interest rate and credit risk due to the timing of the rate resets and changes in the market’s assessment of risk of
default, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are also obligated to pay an annual
commitment fee on the daily undrawn balance of the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate that ranges from 4.5 bps
to 12.5 bps, depending upon the Company’s then prevailing credit rating. As of June 30, 2022 the annual
commitment fee was 9 bps. At June 30, 2022, if our credit ratings were downgraded to be below investment
grade, the maximum potential increase to our annual commitment fee for the Revolving Credit Facility, using the
highest range of the ranges discussed above, is estimated to be approximately $1 million.

Our equity investment in a publicly traded company is subject to market price risk, which we typically do

not attempt to reduce or eliminate through hedging activities. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of our
investment in the marketable equity security, which began publicly trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on
April 5, 2021, was $11.0 million. Assuming a decline of 50% in market prices, the aggregate value of our
investment in the marketable equity security could decrease by approximately $6 million, based on the value as
of June 30, 2022.

See Note 5 “Marketable Securities” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8; “Liquidity

and Capital Resources” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations in Part II, Item 7; and Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a
description of recent market events that may affect the value of the investments in our portfolio that we held as of
June 30, 2022.

65

As of June 30, 2022, we had net forward and option contracts to purchase $58.2 million in foreign currency

in order to hedge certain currency exposures (see Note 17 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to
our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). If we had entered into these contracts on June 30,
2022, the U.S. dollar equivalent would have been $64.2 million. A 10% adverse move in all currency exchange
rates affecting the contracts would decrease the fair value of the contracts by $94.2 million. However, if this
occurred, the fair value of the underlying exposures hedged by the contracts would increase by a similar amount.
Accordingly, we believe that, as a result of the hedging of certain of our foreign currency exposure, changes in
most relevant foreign currency exchange rates should have no material impact on our results of operations or
cash flows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation. KLA Corporation and its majority-owned
subsidiaries (“KLA” or the “Company” and also referred to as “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references) is a
supplier of process equipment, process control equipment, and data analytics products for a broad range of
industries, including semiconductors, printed circuit boards (“PCB”) and displays. We provide advanced process
control and process-enabling solutions for manufacturing and testing wafers and reticles, integrated circuits
(“IC”), packaging, light-emitting diodes, power devices, compound semiconductor devices,
microelectromechanical systems (“MEMS”), data storage, PCBs and flat and flexible panel displays, as well as
general materials research. We also provide comprehensive support and services across our installed base. Our
extensive portfolio of inspection, metrology and data analytics products, and related services, helps IC
manufacturers achieve target yield throughout the entire semiconductor fabrication process, from research and
development (“R&D”) to final volume production. We develop and sell advanced vacuum deposition and etching
process tools, which are used by a broad range of specialty semiconductor customers. We enable electronic
device manufacturers to inspect, test and measure PCBs and flat panel displays (“FPD”) and ICs to verify their
quality, deposit a pattern of desired electronic circuitry on the relevant substrate and perform three-dimensional
shaping of metalized circuits on multiple surfaces. Our advanced products, coupled with our unique yield
management software and services, allow us to deliver the solutions our semiconductor, PCB and display
customers need to achieve their productivity goals by significantly reducing their risks and costs and improving
their overall profitability and return on investment. Headquartered in Milpitas, California, we have subsidiaries
both in the U.S. and in key markets throughout the world.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of KLA and its majority-owned subsidiaries.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Comparability. Effective on the first day of fiscal 2022, we adopted an Accounting Standards Update

(“ASU”) to simplify the accounting for income taxes in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740,
Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), on a prospective basis. We also adopted an ASU to simplify the accounting for
certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and
contracts on an entity’s own equity, on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption of these updates had no
material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective on the first day of fiscal 2021, we adopted ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial

Instruments (“ASC 326”). Prior periods were not retrospectively recast and, accordingly, the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020 and the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30,
2020 were prepared using accounting standards that were different than those in effect as of and for the years
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s Consolidated Financial Statements to conform

to the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not have material effects on the prior year’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows.

Management Estimates. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions in applying our accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities) at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities. All highly liquid debt instruments with original or

remaining maturities of less than three months at the date of purchase are cash equivalents. Marketable securities
are generally classified as available-for-sale for use in current operations, if required, and are reported at fair
value, with unrealized gains and non-credit related unrealized losses, net of tax, presented as a separate
component of stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” All
realized gains and losses are recorded in earnings in the period of occurrence. The specific identification method
is used to determine the realized gains and losses on investments.

We regularly review the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position and evaluate the
current expected credit loss by considering available information relevant to the collectability of the security,
such as historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors including credit ratings, default and loss rates of
the underlying collateral and structure and credit enhancements, current economic conditions and reasonable and
supportable forecasts. There were no credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities recognized in the years
ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

If we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security, the amount representing credit

losses, defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the
amortized cost basis of the debt security, is recorded as an allowance for credit losses with an offsetting entry to
net income, and the amount that is not credit-related is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”).
If we have the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security
before recovery of its entire amortized cost basis, we first write off any previously recognized allowance for
credit losses with an offsetting entry to the security’s amortized cost basis. If the allowance has been fully written
off and fair value is less than amortized cost basis, we write down the amortized cost basis of the security to its
fair value with an offsetting entry to net income.

Investments in Equity Securities. We hold equity securities in publicly and privately held companies for
the promotion of business and strategic objectives. Equity securities in publicly held companies, or marketable
equity securities, are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Equity securities in privately held
companies, or non-marketable equity securities, are accounted for at cost, less impairment, plus or minus
observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar securities of the same issuer.
Non-marketable equity securities are subject to a periodic impairment review; however, since there are no open-
market valuations, the impairment analysis requires significant judgment. This analysis includes assessment of
the investee’s financial condition, the business outlook for its products and technology, its projected results and
cash flow, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment, the likelihood of obtaining
subsequent rounds of financing and the impact of any relevant contractual equity preferences held by us or the
others. Non-marketable equity securities are included in “Other non-current assets” on the balance sheet.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value or the sale of our marketable and
non-marketable equity securities are recorded in “Other expense (income), net.”

Variable Interest Entities. We use a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for

variable interest entities. The approach focuses on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the
activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance and which enterprise
has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the variable interest entity. In the event we
are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the
variable interest entity will be included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have concluded that none
of our equity investments require consolidation based on our most recent qualitative assessment.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value.

Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably
predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Demonstration units are stated at their
manufacturing cost and written down to their net realizable value. We review and set standard costs semi-
annually at current manufacturing costs in order to approximate actual costs. Our manufacturing overhead

75

standards for product costs are calculated assuming full absorption of forecasted spending over projected
volumes, adjusted for excess capacity. Abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight
and handling costs, and spoilage are recognized as current period charges. We write down product inventory
based on forecasted demand and technological obsolescence and service spare parts inventory based on
forecasted usage. These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes, new
product introductions and changes in strategic direction, and require estimates that may include uncertain
elements. Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand, and such differences may have a material effect on
recorded inventory values.

Allowance for Credit Losses. A majority of our accounts receivable are derived from sales to large
multinational semiconductor and electronics manufacturers throughout the world. We maintain an allowance for
credit losses for expected uncollectible accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable
and changes in such are classified as selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. We assess collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where
similar risk characteristics exist and on an individual basis when we identify specific customers with known
disputes or collectability issues. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information
that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is
reviewed on a quarterly basis to assess the adequacy of the allowance. Our assessment considered the impact of
COVID-19 and estimates of expected credit and collectability trends. The credit losses recognized on accounts
receivable were not significant as of June 30, 2022 and 2021. Volatility in market conditions and evolving credit
trends are difficult to predict and may cause variability that may have a material impact on our allowance for
credit losses in future periods.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation of property and equipment is based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. The following table sets forth the estimated useful life for various asset categories:

Asset Category

Buildings
Leasehold improvements
Machinery and equipment
Office furniture and fixtures

Range of Useful Lives

30 to 50 years
Shorter of 15 years or lease term
2 to 10 years
7 years

Construction-in-process assets are not depreciated until the assets are placed in service. Depreciation
expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $122.2 million, $111.1 million and
$101.4 million, respectively.

Leases. Under ASC 842 Leases, a contract is or contains a lease when we have the right to control the use of

an identified asset for a period of time. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract,
which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to, and the agreement creates enforceable rights
and obligations. The commencement date of the lease is the date that the lessor makes an underlying asset
available for our use. On the commencement date, leases are evaluated for classification and assets and liabilities
are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

The lease term used to calculate the lease liability includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it
is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The right of use (“ROU”) asset is initially measured as the
amount of lease liability, adjusted for any initial lease costs, prepaid lease payments and any lease incentives.
Variable lease payments, consisting primarily of reimbursement of costs incurred by lessors for common area
maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are not included in the lease liability and are recognized as they are
incurred.

76

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate at lease
commencement to measure ROU assets and lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate used by us is based
on baseline rates and adjusted by the credit spreads commensurate with our secured borrowing rate, over a
similar term. We used the incremental borrowing rate on June 30, 2019 for all leases that commenced on or prior
to that date. Operating lease expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease
component for the majority of our asset classes. For leases with a term of one year or less, we have elected not to
record the ROU asset or liability.

Goodwill, Purchased Intangible Assets and Impairment Assessment. Purchased intangible assets that are

not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which generally
range from six months to nine years. The carrying values of our intangible assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable.
Recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the
future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. Recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible
assets is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value. If the asset is considered to be
impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair
value.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of the net

tangible and intangible assets acquired. We assess goodwill for impairment annually during our third fiscal
quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable.
We have the option to perform a qualitative assessment prior to necessitating a quantitative impairment test. The
former is performed when the fair value of a reporting unit historically has significantly exceeded the carrying
value of its net assets and, based on current operations, is expected to continue to do so. In the qualitative
assessment, if we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the
carrying value, a quantitative test is then performed, which involves comparing the estimated fair value of a
reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. We determine the fair value of a reporting unit using the
income approach which uses discounted cash flow analysis, the market approach when deemed appropriate and
the necessary information is available, or a combination of both. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than
its carrying value, a goodwill impairment charge is recorded for the difference. See Note 7 “Goodwill and
Purchased Intangible Assets” for additional information. Any further impairment charges could have a material
adverse effect on our operating results and net asset value in the quarter and fiscal year in which we recognize the
impairment charge.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets whenever

events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired. An
impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset,
including disposition, are less than the carrying value of the asset. Such an impairment charge would be
measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, trade
accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments used in hedging activities. We invest in a variety of
financial instruments, such as, but not limited to, certificates of deposit, corporate debt and municipal securities,
U.S. Treasury and Government agency securities, and equity securities and, by policy, we limit the amount of
credit exposure with any one financial institution or commercial issuer. We have not experienced any material
credit losses on our investments.

A majority of our accounts receivable are derived from sales to large multinational semiconductor and
electronics manufacturers located throughout the world, with a majority located in Asia. In recent years, our

77

customer base has become increasingly concentrated due to corporate consolidations, acquisitions and business
closures, and to the extent that these customers experience liquidity issues in the future, we may be required to
reserve for potential credit losses with respect to trade receivables. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our
customers’ financial condition and generally require little to no collateral to secure accounts receivable. We
maintain an allowance for potential credit losses based upon expected collectability risk of all accounts
receivable. In addition, we may utilize letters of credit (“LC”), credit insurance or non-recourse factoring to
mitigate credit risk when considered appropriate.

We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties on the foreign exchange
contracts that we use in hedging activities and in certain factoring transactions. These counterparties are large
international financial institutions, and to date no such counterparty has failed to meet its financial obligations to
us under such contracts.

Foreign Currency. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are primarily the local currencies,
except as described below. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated to U.S.
dollars at current period end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated to U.S. dollars using
average exchange rates in effect during the period. The gains and losses from foreign currency translation of
these subsidiaries’ financial statements are recorded directly into a separate component of stockholders’ equity
under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

Our manufacturing subsidiaries in Singapore, Israel, Germany, and the United Kingdom use the U.S. dollar

as their functional currency. Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities in non-functional currency of these
subsidiaries are remeasured using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Revenues and costs in local
currency are remeasured using average exchange rates for the period, except for costs related to those balance
sheet items that are remeasured using historical exchange rates. The resulting remeasurement gains and losses are
included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as incurred.

Derivative Financial Instruments. We use financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts

including forward and options transactions, to hedge a portion of, but not all, existing and forecasted foreign
currency denominated transactions. The purpose of our foreign exchange hedging program is to manage the
effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated revenues, costs and eventual cash
flows. The effect of exchange rate changes on foreign exchange contracts is expected to offset the effect of
exchange rate changes on the underlying hedged items. We also use rate lock agreements to hedge the risk
associated with the variability of cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate of the intended debt

78

financing. We believe these financial instruments do not subject us to speculative risk that would otherwise result
from changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates. All of our derivative financial instruments are recorded
at fair value based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments adjusted for risk of counterparty
non-performance.

For derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency
denominated transactions or debt financing expected to occur within 12 to 18 months, the effective portion of the
gains or losses is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into
earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We elected to
include time value for the assessment of effectiveness on all forward transactions designated as cash flow hedges.
The change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in AOCI until the hedged transaction is recognized in
earnings. The assessment of effectiveness of options contracts designated as cash flow hedges excludes time
value. The initial value of the component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in earnings
over the life of the derivative contract. Any differences between change in the fair value of the excluded
components and the amounts recognized in earnings are recorded in AOCI. For foreign exchange contracts that
are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge in a foreign operation and that meet the effectiveness
requirements, the net gains or losses attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in cumulative
translation within AOCI. The remainder of the change in value of such instruments is recorded in earnings using
the mark-to-market approach. Recognition in earnings of amounts previously recorded in cumulative translation
is limited to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the
hedged foreign operations. For foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges, gains and losses are
recognized in other expense (income), net. We use foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency
denominated assets or liabilities. The gains and losses on these derivative instruments are largely offset by the
changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged.

Revenue Recognition. We primarily derive revenue from the sale of process control and process-enabling
solutions for the semiconductor and related electronics industries, maintenance and support of all these products,
installation and training services and the sale of spare parts. Our portfolio includes yield enhancement and
production solutions for manufacturing wafers and reticles, ICs, packaging, PCBs and FPDs, as well as
comprehensive support and services across our installed base.

Our solutions are generally not sold with a right of return, nor have we experienced significant returns from

or refunds to our customers.

We account for a contract with a customer when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the

rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and
collectability of consideration is probable.

Our revenues are measured based on consideration stipulated in the arrangement with each customer, net of

any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes. The revenues are
recognized as separate performance obligations that are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service
to the customer.

Our arrangements with our customers include various combinations of products and services, which are
generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. A product or service is
considered distinct if it is separately identifiable from other deliverables in the arrangement and if a customer can
benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer.

The transaction consideration, including any sales incentives, is allocated between separate performance
obligations of an arrangement based on the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct product or service.
Management considers a variety of factors to determine the SSP, such as historical stand-alone sales of products
and services, discounting strategies and other observable data.

79

From time to time, our contracts are modified to account for additional, or to change existing, performance

obligations. Our contract modifications are generally accounted for prospectively.

Product Revenue

We recognize revenue from product sales at a point in time when we have satisfied our performance
obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer. We use judgment to evaluate whether control
has transferred by considering several indicators, including whether:

• We have a present right to payment;

• The customer has legal title;

• The customer has physical possession;

• The customer has significant risk and rewards of ownership; and

• The customer has accepted the product, or whether customer acceptance is considered a formality
based on history of acceptance of similar products (for example, when the customer has previously
accepted the same tool, with the same specifications, and when we can objectively demonstrate that the
tool meets all of the required acceptance criteria, and when the installation of the system is deemed
perfunctory).

Not all of the indicators need to be met for us to conclude that control has transferred to the customer. In

circumstances in which revenue is recognized prior to the product acceptance, the fair value of revenue
associated with our performance obligations to install the product is deferred and recognized as revenue at a
point in time, once installation is complete.

We enter into volume purchase agreements with some of our customers. We adjust the transaction
consideration for estimated credits earned by our customers for such incentives. These credits are estimated
based upon the forecasted and actual product sales for any given period and agreed incentive rate. The estimate is
updated at each reporting period.

We offer perpetual and term licenses for software products. The primary difference between perpetual and

term licenses is the duration over which the customer can benefit from the use of the software, while the
functionality and the features of the software are the same. Software is generally bundled with post-contract
customer support (“PCS”), which includes unspecified software updates that are made available throughout the
entire term of the arrangement. Revenue from software licenses is recognized at a point in time, when the
software is made available to the customer. Revenue from PCS is deferred at contract inception and recognized
ratably over the service period, or as services are performed.

Services Revenue

The majority of product sales include a standard six to 12-month warranty that is not separately paid for by
the customers. The customers may also purchase an extended warranty for periods beyond the initial year as part
of the initial product sale. We have concluded that the standard 12-month warranty as well as any extended
warranty periods included in the initial product sales are separate performance obligations for most of our
products. The estimated fair value of warranty services is deferred and recognized ratably as revenue over the
warranty period, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of warranty services
provided by us.

Additionally, we offer product maintenance and support services, which the customer may purchase
separately from the standard and extended warranty offered as part of the initial product sale. Revenue from
separately negotiated maintenance and support service contracts is also recognized over time based on the terms

80

of the applicable service period. Revenue from services performed in the absence of a maintenance contract,
including training revenue, is recognized when the related services are performed. We also sell spare parts,
revenue from which is recognized when control over the spare parts is transferred to the customer.

Significant Judgments

Our contracts with our customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services. Each

product and service is generally capable of being distinct within the context of the contract and represents a
separate performance obligation. Determining the SSP for each distinct performance obligation and allocation of
consideration from an arrangement to the individual performance obligations and the appropriate timing of
revenue recognition are significant judgments with respect to these arrangements. We typically estimate the SSP
of products and services based on observable transactions when the products and services are sold on a stand-
alone basis and those prices fall within a reasonable range. We typically have more than one SSP for individual
products and services due to the stratification of these products by customers and circumstances. In these
instances, we use information such as the size of the customer, geographic region, as well as customization of the
products in determining the SSP. In instances where the SSP is not directly observable, we determine the SSP
using information that includes market conditions, entity-specific factors, including discounting strategies,
information about the customer or class of customer that is reasonably available and other observable inputs.
While changes in the allocation of SSP between performance obligations will not affect the amount of total
revenue recognized for a particular contract, any material changes could impact the timing of revenue
recognition, which could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Although the products are generally not sold with a right of return, we may provide other credits or sales

incentives, which are accounted for either as variable consideration or material right, depending on the specific
terms and conditions of the arrangement. These credits and incentives are estimated at contract inception and
updated at the end of each reporting period if and when additional information becomes available.

As outlined above, we use judgments to evaluate whether or not the customer has obtained control of the

product and consider several indicators in evaluating whether or not control has transferred to the customer. Not
all of the indicators need to be met for us to conclude that control has transferred to the customer.

Contract Assets/Liabilities

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections may result in accounts receivable, contract

assets, and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. A receivable is recorded in
the period we deliver products or provide services when we have an unconditional right to payment. Contract
assets primarily relate to the value of products and services transferred to the customer for which the right to
payment is not just dependent on the passage of time. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when
rights to payment become unconditional.

A contract liability is recognized when we receive payment or have an unconditional right to payment in
advance of the satisfaction of performance. The contract liabilities represent (1) deferred product revenue related
to the value of products that have been shipped and billed to customers and for which control has not been
transferred to the customers, and (2) deferred service revenue, which is recorded when we receive consideration,
or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring services to the customer under
the terms of a contract. Deferred service revenue typically results from warranty services, and maintenance and
other service contracts.

Contract assets and liabilities related to rights and obligations in a contract are recorded net in the

Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Research and Development Costs. R&D costs are expensed as incurred.

81

Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of sales.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans. We account for stock-based awards granted to

employees for services based on the fair value of those awards. The fair value of stock-based awards is measured
at the grant date and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The fair value for
restricted stock units (“RSU”) granted without “dividend equivalent” rights is determined using the closing price
of our common stock on the grant date, adjusted to exclude the present value of dividends which are not accrued
on the RSUs. The fair value for RSUs granted with “dividend equivalent” rights is determined using the closing
price of our common stock on the grant date. The award holder is not entitled to receive payments under dividend
equivalent rights unless the associated RSU award vests (i.e., the award holder is entitled to receive credits,
payable in cash or shares of common stock, equal to the cash dividends that would have been received on the
shares of our common stock underlying the RSUs had the shares been issued and outstanding on the dividend
record date, but such dividend equivalents are only paid subject to the recipient satisfying the vesting
requirements of the underlying award). Compensation expense for RSUs with performance metrics is calculated
based upon expected achievement of the metrics specified in the grant, or when a grant contains a market
condition, the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation incorporates
estimates of the potential outcomes of the market condition on the grant date fair value of each award.
Additionally, we estimate forfeitures based on historical experience and revise those estimates in subsequent
periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimated amounts. The fair value is determined using a Black-
Scholes valuation model for purchase rights under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The Black-
Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of assumptions, including the option’s expected term and the
expected price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility assumption is based on the
market-based historical implied volatility from traded options of our common stock.

Accounting for Cash-Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Cash-based long-term incentive
(“Cash LTI”) awards issued to employees under our Cash Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Cash LTI Plan”) vest in
three or four equal installments, with one-third or one-fourth of the aggregate amount of the Cash LTI award
vesting on each yearly anniversary of the grant date over a three- or four-year period. In order to receive
payments under a Cash LTI award, participants must remain employed by us as of the applicable award vesting
date. Compensation expense related to the Cash LTI awards is recognized over the vesting term and adjusted for
the impact of estimated forfeitures.

Accounting for Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. We have a non-qualified deferred

compensation plan (known as the “Executive Deferred Savings Plan” (“EDSP”)) under which certain executives
and non-employee directors may defer a portion of their compensation. Participants are credited with returns
based on their allocation of their account balances among measurement funds. We control the investment of
these funds, and the participants remain general creditors of ours. We invest these funds in certain mutual funds
and such investments are classified as trading securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investments in
trading securities are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Unrealized holding gains and
losses for trading securities are included in earnings. Distributions from the EDSP commence following a
participant’s retirement or termination of employment or on a specified date allowed per the EDSP provisions,
except in cases where such distributions are required to be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited distribution
under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Participants can generally elect for the distributions to be paid in a
lump sum or quarterly cash payments over a scheduled period for up to 15 years and are allowed to make
subsequent changes to their existing elections as permissible under the EDSP provisions. The liability associated
with the EDSP is included as a component of other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Changes in the EDSP liability are recorded in SG&A expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The
net (benefit) expense associated with changes in the liability included in SG&A expense was $(44.2) million,
$56.5 million and $13.3 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We also
have a deferred compensation asset that corresponds to the liability under the EDSP and it is included as a
component of other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the EDSP assets are
recorded as gains (losses), net in SG&A expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of

82

net (losses) gains included in SG&A expense were $(44.3) million, $56.8 million and $13.9 million for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which requires

income tax effects for changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the law is enacted.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary
differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. The guidance also requires that
deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred
tax asset will not be realized. We have determined that a valuation allowance is necessary against a portion of the
deferred tax assets, but we anticipate that our future taxable income will be sufficient to recover the remainder of
our deferred tax assets. However, should there be a change in our ability to recover our deferred tax assets that
are not subject to a valuation allowance, we could be required to record an additional valuation allowance against
such deferred tax assets. This would result in an increase to our tax provision in the period in which we determine
that the recovery is not probable.

On a quarterly basis, we provide for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate.

The effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic composition of worldwide earnings, tax
regulations governing each region, availability of tax credits and the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies.
We carefully monitor the changes in many factors and adjust our effective income tax rate on a timely basis. If
actual results differ from these estimates, this could have a material effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax

regulations. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we
recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax
position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not
that the position will be sustained in audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any.
The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized
upon ultimate settlement. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is
based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively
settled issues under audit and new audit activities. Any change in these factors could result in the recognition of a
tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

We record income taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries’
earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. Our effective tax rate would be adversely
affected if we change our intent or if such undistributed earnings are needed for U.S. operations because we
would be required to provide or pay income taxes on some or all of these undistributed earnings.

Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income. The Tax Cut and Jobs Act includes provisions for Global
Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) wherein U.S. taxes on foreign income are imposed in excess of a
deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. We elect to account for GILTI as a component of
current period tax expense and not recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the basis differences expected
to reverse as a result of GILTI provisions.

Business Combinations. We allocate the fair value of the purchase price of our acquisitions to the tangible

assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and
development (“IPR&D”), based on their estimated fair values at acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of
the purchase price over the fair values of these net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as
goodwill. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but our
estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the
measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the

83

assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the conclusion of the
measurement period or final determination of the fair value of the purchase price of our acquisitions, whichever
comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of IPR&D is initially capitalized as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and assessed for

impairment thereafter whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the
IPR&D assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of IPR&D is recorded to R&D expenses. When an IPR&D
project is completed, the IPR&D is reclassified as an amortizable purchased intangible asset and amortized to
costs of revenues over the asset’s estimated useful life.

Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as

incurred.

Net Income Per Share. Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to

common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net income per share is calculated by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been
outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued. The dilutive effect of RSUs and
options is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive
securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share when a net loss is recorded for the
period as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Contingencies and Litigation. We are subject to the possibility of losses from various contingencies.
Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the probability and amount of any loss from such contingencies.
An accrual is made when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We accrue a liability and recognize as expense the estimated costs to
defend or settle asserted and unasserted claims existing as of the balance sheet date. See Note 16 “Commitments
and Contingencies” and Note 15 “Litigation and Other Legal Matters” for additional details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASU to simplify the
accounting for income taxes in ASC 740. This amendment removes certain exceptions and improves consistent
application of accounting principles for certain areas in ASC 740. We adopted this update beginning in the first
quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 on a prospective basis and the adoption had no material impact on
our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with

characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity.
The standard eliminates the beneficial conversion feature and cash conversion models, resulting in more
convertible instruments being accounted for as a single unit, and modifies the guidance on the computation of
earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. We adopted this update
beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 on a modified retrospective basis and the
adoption had no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

On July 1, 2020 we adopted ASC 326, which was issued by the FASB in June 2016 as ASU No. 2016-13

Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. The ASU replaced previous incurred loss impairment guidance and
established a single expected credit losses allowance framework for financial assets carried at amortized cost. It
also eliminated the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to certain
available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. We adopted ASC 326

84

using the modified retrospective method, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance
of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption and, accordingly, recorded a net decrease of
$5.5 million to retained earnings as of July 1, 2020. Please see the “Allowance for Credit Losses” accounting
policy above.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the existing accounting standards for fair value
measurement disclosure. This update eliminates the disclosure of the amount of and reasons for transfers between
Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the policy for the timing of transfers between levels. We
adopted this update beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 on a retrospective basis
and the adoption had no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU to amend the disclosure requirements related to defined benefit

pension and other post-retirement plans. Some of the changes include adding a disclosure requirement for
significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period and removing the amounts
in AOCI expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year. We
adopted this update beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 on a retrospective basis
and the adoption had no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs

incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing
implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance clarifies which costs
should be capitalized including the cost to acquire the license and the related implementation costs. We adopted
this update beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 on a prospective basis and the
adoption had no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Updates Not Yet Effective

In October 2021, FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires companies to apply revenue guidance to

recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a
business combination at carrying value. Under the current business combination guidance, such assets and
liabilities are recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. This update is effective for us in the
first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption
is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of

payment of 70% to 90% of total contract consideration within 30 to 60 days of shipment, with the remainder
payable within 30 days of acceptance.

The change in contract assets during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was mainly due to $96.2 million of
revenue recognized for which the payment is subject to conditions other than the passage of time, partially offset

85

by $72.6 million of contract assets reclassified to net accounts receivable as our right to consideration for these
contract assets became unconditional. Contract assets are included in other current assets on our Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

The change in contract liabilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was mainly due to the value of
products and services billed to customers for which control of the products and services has not transferred to the
customers, partially offset by the recognition in revenue of $555.4 million that was included in contract liabilities
as of June 30, 2021. The change in contract liabilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was mainly due
to the value of products and services billed to customers for which control of the products and services has not
transferred to the customers, partially offset by the recognition in revenue of $526.1 million that was included in
contract liabilities as of June 30, 2020. Contract liabilities are included in current and non-current liabilities on
our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2022, we had $13.11 billion of remaining performance obligations, which represents our

obligation to deliver products and services, and primarily consists of sales orders where written customer
requests have been received. This amount excludes contract liabilities of $1.01 billion as disclosed above. We
expect to recognize approximately 40% to 50% of these performance obligations as revenue beyond the next 12
months, but this estimate is subject to constant change depending upon supply chain constraints, customer slot
change requests and potential elevated demand levels, which could require even longer lead times.

Practical expedients

We apply the following practical expedients in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with

Customers:

• We account for shipping and handling costs as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods, instead

of a promised service to our customer.

• We have elected to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant

financing component as we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a
promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will
generally be one year or less.

• We have elected to expense costs to obtain a contract as incurred because the expected amortization

period is one year or less.

Refer to Note 19 “Segment Reporting and Geographic Information” for information related to revenue by

geographic region as well as significant product and service offerings.

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our financial assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value, except for our debt and certain

equity investments in privately held companies. Equity investments without a readily available fair value are
accounted for using the measurement alternative. The measurement alternative is calculated as cost minus
impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. See Note 8 “Debt” for
disclosure of the fair value of our Senior Notes.

Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and land, property and equipment, are assessed
for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have
occurred.

86

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. We have evaluated the estimated fair value of financial instruments

using available market information and valuations as provided by third-party sources. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The fair value of our cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current assets and
liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these items.

Fair Value Hierarchy. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value

hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. 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). The three levels of the
fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity

has the ability to access.

Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are

not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for
substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are

significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is

significant to the fair value measurement. Besides the transfer listed in the table below, there were no other
transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements during the year ended June 30, 2022.

The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets included money market
funds, certain U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government agency securities. Such instruments are generally
classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The types of instruments valued based on other observable inputs included corporate debt securities,

sovereign securities, municipal securities, certain U.S. Treasury securities, and marketable equity securities
subject to security specific restrictions. The market inputs used to value these instruments generally consist of
market yields, reported trades and broker/dealer quotes. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2
of the fair value hierarchy.

The principal market in which we execute our foreign currency contracts is the institutional market in an

over-the-counter environment with a relatively high level of price transparency. The market participants
generally are large financial institutions. Our foreign currency contracts’ valuation inputs are based on quoted
prices and quoted pricing intervals from public data sources and do not involve management judgment. These
contracts are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of deferred payments and contingent consideration payable, the majority of which were

recorded in connection with business combinations, were classified as Level 3 and estimated using significant
inputs that were not observable in the market. See Note 6 “Business Combinations and Dispositions” for
additional information.

(1) Unrealized gains on equity securities included in our portfolio consist of the initial fair value adjustment

recorded upon a security becoming marketable.
(2) Time deposits excluded from fair value measurements.

92

Our investment portfolio includes both corporate and government securities that have a maximum maturity

of three years. The longer the duration of these securities, the more susceptible they are to changes in market
interest rates and bond yields. As yields increase, those securities with a lower yield-at-cost show a
mark-to-market unrealized loss. Most of our unrealized losses are due to changes in market interest rates, and
bond yields. We believe that we have the ability to realize the full value of all of these investments upon
maturity. As of June 30, 2022, we had 547 investments in an unrealized loss position. Our investments that were
in a continuous loss position of 12 months or more, as well as the unrealized losses on those investments, were
immaterial.

unrealized loss position as of the dates indicated below:

NOTE 6 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Fiscal 2022 Acquisitions

On May 1, 2022, we acquired the outstanding shares of a privately held company for total purchase
consideration of $8.6 million, paid in cash. We allocated the purchase price to the tangible and identified
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values, and residual
goodwill was allocated to the Wafer Inspection and Patterning reporting unit. The goodwill recognized was not
deductible for tax purposes.

93

On February 28, 2022, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of ECI Technology,
Inc. (“ECI”), a privately held company, for aggregate purchase consideration of $431.5 million, paid in cash. ECI
is a provider of chemical management systems for semiconductor, photovoltaic and PCB industries. KLA
acquired ECI to extend and enhance our portfolio of products and services.

The purchase price was allocated to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed

based on their preliminary estimated fair values, which were determined using generally accepted valuation
techniques based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisition. These
estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, which is not expected to exceed
one year. Any adjustments to our preliminary purchase price allocation identified during the measurement period
will be recognized in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

The $271.8 million of goodwill was assigned to the Wafer Inspection and Patterning reporting unit, and the

amount recognized was not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was primarily attributable to the assembled
workforce of the acquired company and planned growth in new markets.

The estimated fair value and weighted-average useful life of the acquired intangible assets are as follows:

(1) Existing technology was identified from the products of ECI and its fair value was determined using the

Relief-from-Royalty method under the income approach, which estimates the cost savings generated by a
company related to the ownership of an asset for which it would otherwise have had to pay royalties or
license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The discount rate used was determined at the
time of measurement based on an analysis of the implied internal rate of return of the transaction, weighted-
average cost of capital and weighted-average return on assets. The economic useful life was determined
based on the technology cycle related to each developed technology, as well as the cash flows over the
forecast period.

94

(2) Customer relationships represent the fair value of the existing relationships with ECI’s customers and its fair
value was determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earning Method which involves isolating the net
earnings attributable to the asset being measured based on present value of the incremental after-tax cash
flows (excess earnings) attributable solely to the intangible asset over its remaining useful life. The
economic useful life was determined based on historical customer turnover rates.

(3) Order backlog primarily relates to the dollar value of purchase arrangements with customers, effective as of
a given point in time, that are based on mutually agreed terms which, in some cases, may still be subject to
completion of written documentation and may be changed or cancelled by the customer, often without
penalty. ECI’s backlog consists of these arrangements with assigned shipment dates expected, in most cases,
within 12 months. The fair value was determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earning Method. The
economic useful life is based on the time to fulfill the outstanding order backlog obligation.

(4) Trade name / trademark primarily relates to ECI’s name. The fair value was determined by applying the

Relief-from-Royalty Method under the income approach. The economic useful life was determined based on
the expected life of the trade names, trademarks and domain names.

We believe the amounts of purchased intangible assets recorded above represent the fair values and
approximate the amounts a market participant would pay for these intangible assets as of the acquisition date.

On July 1, 2021, we acquired Anchor Semiconductor Inc., a privately held company, primarily to expand
our products and services offerings, for a total purchase consideration of $81.7 million, including post-closing
working capital adjustments, as well as the fair value of the promise to pay an additional consideration up to
$35.0 million contingent on the achievement of certain revenue milestones. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated
fair value of the additional consideration was $13.5 million, which was classified as a current liability on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total purchase consideration was allocated as follows: $31.7 million to
identifiable intangible assets, $26.4 million to net tangible assets, $8.0 million to deferred tax liabilities, and
$31.5 million to goodwill. The goodwill was assigned to the Wafer Inspection and Patterning reporting unit, and
the amount recognized was not deductible for tax purposes.

We have included the financial results of the fiscal 2022 acquisitions in our Consolidated Financial

Statements from their respective acquisition dates, and these results were not material to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2022, we have $23.7 million of contingent consideration recorded for the Anchor acquisition
and other acquisitions from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, of which $17.2 million is classified as a current
liability and $6.5 million as a non-current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Fiscal 2020 Acquisitions

On April 24, 2020, we acquired a product line from a public company for total purchase consideration of

$11.4 million, of which $2.2 million was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill recognized was assigned to the Wafer
Inspection and Patterning reporting unit, and was deductible for income tax purposes.

On August 22, 2019, we acquired the outstanding shares of Qoniac GmbH, a privately held company,
primarily to expand our products and services offerings, for a total purchase consideration of $94.0 million
inclusive of measurement period adjustments of $0.2 million as well as the fair value of the promise to pay an
additional consideration up to $60.0 million contingent on the achievement of certain revenue milestones. As of
June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the additional consideration was zero. The $54.2 million of goodwill
was assigned to the Wafer Inspection and Patterning reporting unit and was not deductible for income tax
purposes.

We have included the financial results of the fiscal 2020 acquisitions in our Consolidated Financial

Statements from their respective acquisition dates, and these results were not material to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Acquisition-related Costs

Our acquisition-related costs are primarily included within SG&A expenses in our Consolidated Statements
of Operations. We incurred insignificant acquisition-related costs for the fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2020 acquisitions.

Assets Held for Sale

In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, management committed to a plan to sell Orbograph Ltd. (“Orbograph”), a

non-core business engaged in the development and marketing of character recognition solutions to banks,
financial and other payment processing institutions and healthcare providers, of which we own approximately
94% as of June 30, 2022. We determined that all of the criteria for held-for-sale accounting were met and,
consequently, we designated the net assets and liabilities of Orbograph, which is in our PCB, Display and
Component Inspection segment, as held for sale. We expect to complete the sale in the next 12 months. In
addition, based on available information, we determined that the carrying value of net assets held for sale did not
exceed fair value less costs to sell; therefore, no impairment was recorded in the three months ended June 30,
2022.

As of June 30, 2022 the balances of Orbograph’s net assets held for sale were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 7 — GOODWILL AND PURCHASED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable

intangible assets acquired in business combinations. We have four reportable segments and six operating
segments. The operating segments are determined to be the same as reporting units.

The following table presents goodwill carrying value and the movements by reporting unit during the fiscal

years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021(1):

Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually during the third fiscal quarter,
as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

We performed the required annual goodwill impairment tests as of February 28, 2022 and 2021, and
concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As a result of our qualitative assessments, we determined that it was
not necessary to perform the quantitative assessments at those times. The required annual goodwill impairment
tests for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 were performed as of February 28, 2020. We completed qualitative
assessments for all reporting units and concluded that goodwill was not impaired for the Wafer Inspection and
Patterning, Global Service and Support, and Component Inspection reporting units. However, due to the
downward revision of the financial outlook for the Specialty Semiconductor Process and PCB and Display
reporting units as well as the impact of the elevated risk and macroeconomic slowdown driven by the COVID-19
pandemic, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for these two reporting units. As a result
of the assessment, we recorded $144.2 million and $112.5 million in impairment charges in the Specialty
Semiconductor Process and PCB and Display reporting units, respectively, during the quarter ended March 31,
2020.

Goodwill as of June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is net of accumulated impairment losses of $534.2 million, of

which $277.6 million was included in the Wafer Inspection and Patterning reporting unit, $144.2 million was
included in the Specialty Semiconductor Process reporting unit, and $112.5 million was included in the PCB and
Display reporting unit.

There have been no significant events or circumstances affecting the valuation of goodwill subsequent to the

assessment performed in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The next annual assessment of
goodwill by reporting unit is scheduled to be performed in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30,
2023.

Purchased intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. Impairment indicators
primarily include the declines in our operating cash flows from the use of these assets. If impairment indicators
are present, we are required to perform a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted
future cash flows attributable to these long-lived assets to their carrying value.

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no impairment indicators for purchased intangible assets.

Senior Notes and Debt Redemption:

In June 2022, we issued $3.00 billion aggregate principal amount of senior, unsecured notes (the “2022

Senior Notes”) as follows: $1.00 billion of 4.650% senior, unsecured notes due July 15, 2032; $1.20 billion of
4.950% senior, unsecured notes due July 15, 2052; and $800.0 million of 5.250% senior, unsecured notes due
July 15, 2062. A portion of the net proceeds of the 2022 Senior Notes are intended to be used to purchase up to a
maximum aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million of our 2014 Senior Notes due 2024; refer to Note 21
“Subsequent Events” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the purchase of a portion
of our 2014 Senior Notes due 2024. The remainder of the net proceeds were used for share repurchases and for
general corporate purposes.

In February 2020, we issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior, unsecured notes (the
“2020 Senior Notes”) and used the proceeds to redeem $500.0 million of our Senior Notes due 2021, including
associated redemption premiums, accrued interest and other fees and expenses, to repay borrowings of
$200.0 million under the prior Revolving Credit Facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”), and for other
general corporate purposes. The redemption resulted in a pre-tax net loss on extinguishment of debt
of $22.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

In March 2019 and November 2014, we issued $1.20 billion and $2.50 billion, respectively (the “2019

Senior Notes” and “2014 Senior Notes,” respectively, and, together with the 2020 Senior Notes and the 2022
Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”), aggregate principal amount of senior, unsecured notes. In each of November
2017 and October 2019, we repaid $250.0 million of Senior Notes.

In February 2020, S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) upgraded its credit rating of the Company to “BBB+” and
revised its outlook to stable, which permanently eliminated interest rate adjustments and the interest rate on the
2014 Senior Notes became fixed. The interest rates for each series of the 2022 Senior Notes, 2020 Senior Notes
and 2019 Senior Notes are not subject to credit ratings-based rate adjustments.

Since fiscal 2015, we have entered into four sets of forward contracts to lock the benchmark interest rate on
portions of our Senior Notes prior to issuance (“Rate Lock Agreements”). Upon issuance of the associated debt,
the Rate Lock Agreements were settled and their fair values were recorded within AOCI. The resulting gains and
losses from these transactions are amortized to interest expense over the lives of the associated debt. For
additional details on the forward contracts, refer to Note 17 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

The original discounts on the 2022 Senior Notes, 2020 Senior Notes, the 2019 Senior Notes and the 2014

Senior Notes amounted to $12.8 million, $0.3 million, $6.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively and are being
amortized over the life of the debt. Interest is payable as follows: semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of
each year for the 2022 Senior Notes; semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year for the 2020
Senior Notes; semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year for the 2019 Senior Notes; and semi-
annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year for the 2014 Senior Notes. The relevant indentures for the
Senior Notes (collectively, the “Indenture”) include covenants that limit our ability to grant liens on our facilities
and enter into sale and leaseback transactions.

In certain circumstances involving a change of control followed by a downgrade of the rating of a series of

Senior Notes by at least two of Moody’s Investors Service, S&P and Fitch Inc., unless we have exercised our
rights to redeem the Senior Notes of such series, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all or, at the
holder’s option, any part, of each holder’s Senior Notes of that series pursuant to the offer described below (the
“Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, we will be required to offer payment in cash equal
to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on the Senior Notes repurchased, up to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

The fair value of the Senior Notes as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $6.39 billion and $3.98 billion,
respectively. While the Senior Notes are recorded at cost, the fair value of the long-term debt was determined

99

based on quoted prices in markets that are not active; accordingly, the long-term debt is categorized as Level 2
for purposes of the fair value measurement hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Indenture associated with

the Senior Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility:

As of March 31, 2022, we had in place a Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) providing for a
$1.00 billion five-year unsecured Prior Revolving Credit Facility with a maturity date of November 30, 2023. In
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we replaced the Prior Credit Agreement and Prior Revolving Credit Facility
with a renegotiated Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”) and renegotiated unsecured Revolving Credit
Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) having a maturity date of June 8, 2027 that allows us to borrow up to
$1.50 billion. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by an
amount up to $250.0 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2021, we had no aggregate principal amount of
borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company
borrowed $600.0 million under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility and made principal payments of
$600.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million outstanding under
the Revolving Credit Facility, which was borrowed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

We may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the Revolving Credit Facility until the maturity date, at

which time may exercise two one-year extension options with the consent of the lenders. We may prepay
outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without a prepayment penalty.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility can be made as Term Secured Overnight Financing

(“SOFR”) Loans or Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans, at the Company’s option. In the event that Term SOFR
is unavailable, any Term SOFR elections will be converted to Daily Simple SOFR, as long as it is available. Each
Term SOFR Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Adjusted Term SOFR rate, which
is equal to the applicable Term SOFR rate plus 10 bps that shall not be less than zero, plus a spread ranging from
75 bps to 125 bps, as determined by the Company’s credit ratings at the time. Each ABR Loan will bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus a spread ranging from 0 bps to 25 bps, as determined by the
Company’s credit ratings at the time. We are also obligated to pay an annual commitment fee on the daily
undrawn balance of the Revolving Credit Facility, which ranges from 4.5 bps to 12.5 bps, subject to an
adjustment in conjunction with changes to our credit rating. The applicable interest rates and commitment fees
are also subject to adjustment based on the Company’s performance against certain environmental sustainability
key performance indicators related to greenhouse gas emissions and renewable electricity usage. As of June 30,
2022, the all-in interest rate of the $275.0 million outstanding Term SOFR loans reflected the applicable
Adjusted Term SOFR plus a spread of 100 bps and the applicable commitment fee on the daily undrawn balance
of the Revolving Credit Facility was 9 bps.

The Prior Revolving Credit Facility required us to maintain an interest expense coverage ratio as described

in the Prior Credit Agreement, on a quarterly basis, covering the trailing four consecutive fiscal quarters, of no
less than 3.50 to 1.00. The Revolving Credit Facility removed that requirement. The maximum leverage ratio as
described in the Credit Agreement, on a quarterly basis, is 3.50 to 1.00, covering the trailing four consecutive
fiscal quarters for each fiscal quarter, which may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for a period of time in connection
with a material acquisition or a series of material acquisitions. As of June 30, 2022, our maximum allowed
leverage ratio was 3.50 to 1.00.

We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022.

Notes Payable:

In December 2020 we sold promissory notes to a financial institution, borrowing an aggregate of
$40.0 million (“Notes Payable”). Of the aggregate amount borrowed, $20.0 million matured and was paid on

100

February 20, 2021 and the balance of $20.0 million matured and was paid on February 22, 2022. The premium of
$0.3 million from the sale of the Notes Payable was amortized over the life of the debt. The net proceeds from
the sale of the Notes Payable were used for general corporate purposes.

NOTE 9 — LEASES

We have operating leases for facilities, vehicles and other equipment. Our facility leases are primarily used

for administrative functions, R&D, manufacturing, and storage and distribution. Our finance leases are not
material.

Our existing leases do not contain significant restrictive provisions or residual value guarantees; however,

certain leases contain provisions for the payment of maintenance, real estate taxes, or insurance costs by us. Our
leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 15 years, including periods covered by
options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

Lease expense was $36.6 million, $38.9 million and $35.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022,

2021 and 2020, respectively. Expense related to short-term leases, which are not recorded on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets, was not material for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and
2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term was 4.8 years and 4.6 years, respectively and the weighted-
average discount rate was 2.18% and 1.64%, respectively.

INTEREST

Equity Incentive Program

As of June 30, 2022, we were able to issue new equity incentive awards, such as RSUs and stock options, to

our employees, consultants and members of our Board of Directors under our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“2004 Plan”) with 9.2 million shares available for issuance.

101

Any 2004 Plan awards of RSUs, performance shares, performance units or deferred stock units are counted

against the total number of shares issuable under the 2004 Plan share reserve as two shares for every one share
subject thereto.

In addition, the plan administrator has the ability to grant “dividend equivalent” rights in connection with
awards of RSUs, performance shares, performance units and deferred stock units before they are fully vested.
The plan administrator, at its discretion, may grant a right to receive dividends on the aforementioned awards
which may be settled in cash or our stock subject to meeting the vesting requirement of the underlying awards.

Assumed Equity Plans

As of the Orbotech Ltd. (“Orbotech”) Acquisition on February 20, 2019 (“Acquisition Date”), we assumed
outstanding equity incentive awards under Orbotech equity incentive plans (the “Assumed Equity Plans”). The
awards under the Assumed Equity Plans, previously issued in the form of stock options and RSUs, were
generally settled as follows:

a)

Each award of Orbotech’s stock options and RSUs that was outstanding and vested immediately prior
to the Acquisition Date (collectively, the “Vested Equity Awards”) was canceled and terminated and
converted into the right to receive the purchase consideration in respect of such Vested Equity Awards
as of the Acquisition Date, and in the case of stock options, less the exercise price.

b) Each award of Orbotech’s stock options and RSUs that was outstanding and unvested immediately

prior to the Acquisition Date was assumed by us (each, an “Assumed Option” and “Assumed RSU,”
and collectively the “Assumed Equity Awards”) and converted to stock options and RSUs exercisable
for the number of shares of our common stock based on the exchange ratio defined in the acquisition
agreement. The Assumed Equity Awards generally retain all of the rights, terms and conditions of the
respective plans under which they were originally granted, including the same service-based vesting
schedule, applicable thereto.

As of the Acquisition Date, the estimated fair value of the Assumed Equity Awards was $55.0 million, of
which $13.3 million was recognized as goodwill and the balance of $41.7 million is being recognized as stock-
based compensation (“SBC”) expense over the remaining service period of the Assumed Equity Awards. The fair
value of the Assumed Equity Awards for services rendered through the Acquisition Date was recognized as a
component of the merger consideration, with the remaining fair value related to the post-combination services
being recorded as SBC over the remaining vesting period.

A total of 14,558 and 518,971 shares of our common stock underlie the Assumed Options and RSUs and
had an estimated weighted-average fair value at the Acquisition Date of $53.3 and $104.5 per share, respectively.
All Assumed Options were fully exercised as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2022, there were 20,799 shares of
our common stock underlying the outstanding Assumed RSUs under the Assumed Equity Plans.

(1) The number of RSUs reflects the application of the award multiplier of 2.0x as described above.
(2)

Includes RSUs granted to senior management with performance-based vesting criteria (in addition to
service-based vesting criteria for any of such RSUs that are deemed to have been earned) (“performance-
based RSU”). As of June 30, 2022, it had not yet been determined the extent to which (if at all) the
performance-based vesting criteria had been satisfied. Therefore, this line item includes all such
performance-based RSUs granted during the fiscal year, reported at the maximum possible number of shares
that may ultimately be issuable if all applicable performance-based criteria are achieved at their maximum
levels and all applicable service-based criteria are fully satisfied (0.2 million shares, 0.2 million shares and
0.4 million shares for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflecting the
application of the 2.0x multiplier described above).
Includes RSUs granted to executive management during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 with both a
market condition and a service condition (“market-based RSU”). Under the award agreements, the vesting
of the market-based RSUs is contingent on achieving total stockholder return (including stock price
appreciation and cash dividends) objectives on a per share basis of equal to or greater
than 150%, 175% and 200% multiplied by the measurement price of $116.39 during the five-year period
ending March 20, 2024. The awards are split into three tranches and, to the extent that total stockholder
return targets have been met, one-third of the maximum number of shares available under these awards will
vest on each of the third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. As of June 30, 2022, the market
conditions were met, resulting in all three tranches being eligible to vest, subject to the service condition.
(4) Represents the portion of RSUs granted with performance-based vesting criteria and reported at the actual
number of shares issued upon achievement of the performance vesting criteria during the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

(5) No additional stock options, RSUs or other awards will be granted under the Assumed Equity Plans.

The fair value of stock-based awards is measured at the grant date and is recognized as an expense over the

employee’s requisite service period. For RSUs granted without “dividend equivalent” rights, fair value is
calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date, adjusted to exclude the present value of
dividends which are not accrued on those RSUs. The fair value for RSUs granted with “dividend equivalent”
rights is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value for market-
based RSUs is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following
assumptions: expected volatilities ranging from 27.8% to 28.1%, based on a combination of implied volatility
from traded options on our common stock and the historical volatility of our common stock; dividend yield

103

ranging from 2.4% to 2.5%, based on our current expectations for our anticipated dividend policy; risk-free
interest rate ranging from 2.3% to 2.4%, based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon
issues with terms equal to the contractual terms of each tranche; and an expected term which takes into
consideration the vesting term and the contractual term of the market-based award. The awards are amortized
over service periods of three, four, and five years, which is the longer of the explicit service period or the period
in which the market target is expected to be met. The fair value for purchase rights under our ESPP is determined
using a Black-Scholes model.

and an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 1.4 years. The intrinsic value of outstanding RSUs as
of June 30, 2022 was $508.4 million.

Cash LTI Compensation

As part of our employee compensation program, we issue Cash LTI awards to many of our employees.
Executives and non-employee members of the Board of Directors do not participate in the Cash LTI Plan. During
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we approved Cash LTI awards of $60.9 million and
$136.5 million, respectively. Cash LTI awards issued to employees under the Cash LTI Plan will vest in three or
four equal installments, with one-third or one-fourth of the aggregate amount of the Cash LTI award vesting on
each anniversary of the grant date over a three or four-year period. In order to receive payments under a Cash
LTI award, participants must remain employed by us as of the applicable award vesting date. During the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $85.3 million, $75.8 million and $64.0 million,
respectively, in compensation expense under the Cash LTI Plan. As of June 30, 2022, the unrecognized
compensation balance (excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures) related to the Cash LTI Plan was
$176.7 million.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our ESPP provides that eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their eligible earnings toward the

semi-annual purchase of our common stock. The ESPP is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue
Code. The employee’s purchase price is derived from a formula based on the closing price of the common stock
on the first day of the offering period versus the closing price on the date of purchase (or, if not a trading day, on
the immediately preceding trading day).

The offering period (or length of the look-back period) under the ESPP has a duration of six months, and the

purchase price with respect to each offering period beginning on or after such date is, until otherwise amended,
equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of our common stock at the commencement of the
applicable six-month offering period or (ii) the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date. We
estimate the fair value of purchase rights under the ESPP using a Black-Scholes model.

The fair value of each purchase right under the ESPP was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-

The ESPP shares are replenished annually on the first day of each fiscal year by virtue of an evergreen
provision. The provision allows for share replenishment equal to the lesser of 2.0 million shares or the number of
shares which we estimate will be required to be issued under the ESPP during the forthcoming fiscal year. As of
June 30, 2022, a total of 2.2 million shares were reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP.

Quarterly cash dividends

On June 1, 2022, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $1.05 per share on the outstanding shares of our
common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2022. The total amount of regular
quarterly cash dividends and dividend equivalents paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was
$638.5 million and $559.4 million, respectively. The amount of accrued dividend equivalents payable related to
unvested RSUs with dividend equivalent rights was $11.2 million and $10.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively. These amounts will be paid upon vesting of the underlying RSUs. Refer to Note 21
“Subsequent Events” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the
declaration of our quarterly cash dividend announced subsequent to June 30, 2022.

Non-controlling Interests

We have consolidated the results of Orbograph, in which we own approximately 94% of the outstanding
equity interest. Orbograph is engaged in the development and marketing of character recognition solutions to
banks, financial and other payment processing institutions and healthcare providers. For information regarding
our plan to sell Orbograph, refer to Note 6 “Business Combinations and Dispositions.”

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell certain core

assets of Orbotech LT Solar, LLC (“OLTS”), which was engaged in the research, development and marketing of
products for the deposition of thin film coating of various materials on crystalline silicon photovoltaic wafers for
solar energy panels through plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The sale was completed in the first
quarter of fiscal 2021 and the proceeds were not material. We consolidate the results of OLTS, which is
considered a non-strategic business, of which we own 97% of the outstanding equity interest as of June 30, 2022.

106

In December 2020, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to sell our entire interest in PixCell, an

Israeli company that is engaged in the development, marketing and sales of diagnostic equipment for
point-of-care hematology applications, to a South Korean company. The sale was completed in February 2021
for total consideration of $20.2 million. We recognized a $4.4 million gain from the sale, which was recorded as
part of other expense (income), net. Prior to the sale, we owned approximately 52% of PixCell’s outstanding
equity interests.

NOTE 11 — STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Our Board of Directors has authorized a program that permits us to repurchase our common stock, including
increases in the authorized repurchase amount of $2.00 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and $6.00 billion
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended
at any time. The intent of the program is, in part, to mitigate the potential dilutive impact related to our equity
incentive plans and shares issued in connection with our ESPP as well as to return excess cash to our
stockholders. Any and all share repurchase transactions are subject to market conditions and applicable legal
requirements.

On June 23, 2022, the Company executed accelerated share repurchase agreements (“ASR Agreements”)

with two financial institutions to repurchase shares of our common stock in exchange for an upfront payment of
$3.00 billion. The Company received initial deliveries totaling approximately 6.5 million shares in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2022, which represented 70% of the prepayment amount at the then prevailing market price of
the Company’s shares of stock. The initial shares delivered were retired immediately upon settlement and treated
as repurchases of the Company’s common stock for purposes of earnings per share calculations. The value of the
shares yet to be delivered to the Company for the remainder of the upfront payment of $0.90 billion was recorded
as an unsettled forward contract, classified within stockholders’ equity. The delivery of any remaining shares
would occur at the final settlement of the transactions under the ASR Agreements, which is scheduled for the
second quarter of fiscal 2023, subject to earlier termination under certain limited circumstances, as set forth in
the ASR Agreements. The total number of shares received under the ASR Agreements will be based on the
volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s stock during the term of the ASR Agreements, less an agreed-
upon discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreements.

Under the authoritative guidance, share repurchases are recognized as a reduction to retained earnings to the

extent available, with any excess recognized as a reduction of capital in excess of par value.

As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate of approximately $3.23 billion was available for repurchase under our

stock repurchase program.

Share repurchase transactions for the indicated periods (based on the trade date of the applicable

repurchase), excluding the $0.90 billion portion of the ASR upfront payment that was recorded as an unsettled
forward contract in fiscal 2022, were as follows:

NOTE 12 — NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the

weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is
calculated by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased to
include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the shares of

common stock underlying our outstanding dilutive RSUs had been issued. The dilutive effect of outstanding
RSUs is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method. In addition, the
shares delivered under the ASR Agreements discussed in Note 11 “Stock Repurchase Program” resulted in a
reduction of outstanding shares used to determine our weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes
of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 13 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We have a profit sharing program for eligible employees, which distributes a percentage of our pre-tax
profits on a quarterly basis. In addition, we have an employee savings plan that qualifies as a deferred salary
arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since January 1, 2019, the employer match is
the greater of 50% of the first $8,000 of an eligible employee’s contributions or 50% of the first 5% of eligible
compensation contributed plus 25% of the next 5% of compensation contributed.

The total expenses under the profit sharing and 401(k) programs aggregated $33.3 million, $27.0 million,

and $24.6 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We have no defined
benefit plans in the U.S. In addition to the profit sharing plan and the U.S. 401(k), several of our foreign
subsidiaries have retirement plans for their full-time employees, several of which are defined benefit plans.
Consistent with the requirements of local law, our deposited funds for certain of these plans are held with
insurance companies, with third-party trustees or in government-managed accounts. The assumptions used in
calculating the obligation for the foreign plans depend on the local economic environment.

We apply authoritative guidance that requires an employer to recognize the funded status of each of our

defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans as a net asset or liability on its balance sheets.
Additionally, the authoritative guidance requires an employer to measure the funded status of each of its plans as
of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The benefit obligations and related assets under our
plans have been measured as of June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The assumptions for expected rate of return on assets were developed by considering the historical returns

and expectations of future returns relevant to the country in which each plan is in effect and the investments

109

applicable to the corresponding plan. The discount rate for each plan was derived by reference to appropriate
benchmark yields on high quality corporate bonds, allowing for the approximate duration of both plan
obligations and the relevant benchmark index.

Fair Value of Plan Assets

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair
value of plan assets are described in Note 3 “Fair Value Measurements.”

The foreign plans’ investments are managed by third-party trustees consistent with the regulations or market
practice of the country where the assets are invested. We are not actively involved in the investment strategy, nor
do we have control over the target allocation of these investments. These investments made up 100% of total
foreign plan assets in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The expected aggregate employer contribution for the foreign plans during the fiscal year ending June 30,

2023 is $7.8 million.

The total benefits to be paid from the foreign pension plans are not expected to exceed $6.6 million in any

year through the fiscal year ending June 30, 2032.

Concentration of Risk

We manage a variety of risks, including market, credit and liquidity risks, across our plan assets through our

investment managers. We define a concentration of risk as an undiversified exposure to one of the above-
mentioned risks that increases the exposure of the loss of plan assets unnecessarily. We monitor exposure to such
risks in the foreign plans by monitoring the magnitude of the risk in each plan and diversifying our exposure to
such risks across a variety of instruments, markets and counterparties. As of June 30, 2022, we did not have
concentrations of plan asset investment risk in any single entity, manager, counterparty, sector, industry or
country.

As of June 30, 2022, we, excluding Orbotech, had U.S. federal, state and foreign net operating loss (“NOL”)

carry-forwards of approximately $11 million, $12 million and $14 million, respectively. Orbotech had U.S.
federal, state, and foreign NOLs of approximately $24 million, $13 million and $219 million, respectively.
Orbotech also had capital loss carry-forwards of approximately $35 million as of June 30, 2022. The U.S. federal
NOL carry-forwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2023 through 2033. The utilization of NOLs
created by acquired companies is subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
However, it is not expected that such annual limitation will significantly impair the realization of these NOLs.

112

The state NOLs began to expire in 2022. Foreign NOLs and capital loss carry-forwards will be carried forward
indefinitely. State credits of $301.0 million for us, including Orbotech, will also be carried forward indefinitely.

The net deferred tax asset valuation allowance was $244.4 million and $204.4 million as of June 30, 2022
and June 30, 2021, respectively. The change was primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related
to U.S. federal and state credit carry-forwards generated in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The valuation
allowance is based on our assessment that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be
realized in the foreseeable future. Of the valuation allowance as of June 30, 2022, $231.2 million was related to
federal and state credit carry-forwards. The remainder of the valuation allowance was related to state and foreign
NOL carry-forwards.

As of June 30, 2022, we intend to indefinitely reinvest $185.9 million of cumulative undistributed earnings

held by certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. If these undistributed earnings were repatriated to the U.S., the potential
deferred tax liability associated with the undistributed earnings would be approximately $39 million.

We benefit from tax holidays in Singapore where we manufacture certain of our products. These tax

holidays are on approved investments and are scheduled to expire in six to nine years. We are in compliance with
all the terms and conditions of the tax holidays as of June 30, 2022. The net impact of these tax holidays was to
decrease our tax expense by approximately $544 million, $12 million and $33 million in the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The benefits of the tax holidays on diluted net income per share were
$3.83, $0.08 and $0.21 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The benefits during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 include a one-time deferred tax benefit of approximately $398 million due to
a tax basis step-up from a restructuring.

The amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate were $205.0 million,
$137.8 million and $161.5 million as of June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The amounts of interest and
penalties recognized during the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were expenses of $11.5 million,
$2.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits within other expense (income), net. The amounts of interest and penalties accrued as of June 30,
2022 and 2021 were approximately $52 million and $42 million, respectively.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world. We

are subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for all years beginning from the fiscal year ended June 30,
2018 and are under U.S. federal income tax examination for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
We are subject to state income tax examinations for all years beginning from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
We are also subject to examinations in other major foreign jurisdictions, including Singapore and Israel, for all
years beginning from the calendar year ended December 31, 2012. We are under audit in Germany related to
Orbotech for the years ended December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015.

In May 2017, Orbotech received an assessment from the Israel Tax Authority (“ITA”) with respect to its
fiscal years 2012 through 2014 (the “Assessment”), for an aggregate amount of tax, after offsetting all NOLs
available through the end of 2014, of approximately NIS 229 million (equivalent to approximately $66 million
which includes related interest and linkage differentials to the Israeli consumer price index as of the date of the
issuance of the Tax Decrees, as defined below).

On August 31, 2018, Orbotech filed an objection in respect of the Assessment (the “Objection”). The ITA

completed the second stage of the audit, in which the claims Orbotech raised in the Objection were examined by
different personnel at the ITA. In addition, the ITA examined additional items during this second stage of the
audit. As Orbotech and the ITA did not reach an agreement during the second stage, the ITA issued Tax Decrees
to Orbotech on August 28, 2019 (“Tax Decrees”) for an aggregate amount of tax, after offsetting all NOLs
available through the end of 2014, of approximately NIS 257 million (equivalent to approximately $73 million
which includes related interest and linkage differentials to the Israeli consumer price index as of the date of the
issuance of the Tax Decrees). These Tax Decrees replaced the Assessment. We believe that our recorded
unrecognized tax benefits are sufficient to cover the resolution of these Tax Decrees.

Orbotech filed a notice of appeal with respect to the above Tax Decrees with the District Court of Tel Aviv

on September 26, 2019. On February 27, 2020 the ITA filed its arguments in support of the Tax Decrees.
Orbotech filed the grounds of appeal with respect to the above Tax Decrees on July 30, 2020. We are currently in
the pre-trial hearing stage of the process. The ITA and Orbotech are continuing discussions in an effort to resolve
this matter in a mutually agreeable manner.

In connection with the above, there was an ongoing criminal investigation in Israel against Orbotech, certain
of its employees and a tax consultant. On April 11, 2018, Orbotech received a “suspect notification letter” (dated

114

March 28, 2018) from the Tel Aviv District Attorney’s Office (Fiscal and Financial). In the letter, it was noted
that the investigation file was transferred from the Assessment Investigation Officer to the District Attorney’s
Office. The letter further stated that the District Attorney’s Office had not yet made a decision regarding
submission of an indictment against Orbotech; and that if after studying the case, a decision is made to consider
prosecuting Orbotech, Orbotech will receive an additional letter, and within 30 days, Orbotech may present its
arguments to the District Attorney’s Office as to why it should not be indicted. On October 27, 2019, we received
a request for additional information from the District Attorney’s Office. On March 23, 2022, Orbotech received a
letter from the Assessment Investigation Officer that the investigation was closed due to lack of evidence. In
addition, the Orbotech employees and its tax consultant also received letters in March 2022 noting the
investigation against them had been closed.

In December 2020, Orbotech received an assessment from the ITA with respect to its fiscal years 2015
through 2018 (the “Second Assessment”), for an aggregate amount of tax, after offsetting all NOLs available
through the end of 2018, of approximately NIS 227 million (equivalent to approximately $68 million which
includes related interest and linkage differentials to the Israeli consumer price index as of the date of the issuance
of the Second Assessment). We filed an objection to the Second Assessment with the ITA in March 2021. The
objection moved the 2015-2018 audit to the second stage, in which the ITA reviews the objections. The ITA has
completed the second stage review for 2015 and 2016 of the Second Assessment and issued Tax Decrees to
Orbotech on March 3, 2022 for 2015-2016 in the amount of approximately NIS 63 million (equivalent to
approximately $19 million which includes related interest and linkage differentials to the Israeli consumer price
index as of the date of the issuance of the Tax Decrees). These Tax Decrees replaced the Second Assessment for
2015 and 2016. The second stage review for 2017 and 2018 has not been completed. The Second Assessment for
2017 and 2018 remains at approximately NIS 114 million (equivalent to approximately $34 million which
includes related interest and linkage differentials to the Israeli consumer price index as of the date of the issuance
of the Second Assessment). We believe that our recorded unrecognized tax benefits are sufficient to cover the
resolution of the Second Assessment.

We believe that we may recognize up to $1.3 million of our existing unrecognized tax benefits within the

next 12 months as a result of the lapse of statutes of limitations. It is possible that certain income tax
examinations may be concluded in the next 12 months. Given the uncertainty around the timing of the resolution
of these ongoing examinations, we are unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to our
unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

NOTE 15 — LITIGATION AND OTHER LEGAL MATTERS

We are named from time to time as a party to lawsuits and other types of legal proceedings and claims in the

normal course of our business. Actions filed against us include commercial, intellectual property, customer, and
labor and employment related claims, including complaints of alleged wrongful termination and potential class
action lawsuits regarding alleged violations of federal and state wage and hour and other laws. In general, legal
proceedings and claims, regardless of their merit, and associated internal investigations (especially those relating
to intellectual property or confidential information disputes) are often expensive to prosecute, defend or conduct
and may divert management’s attention and other company resources. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings
are difficult to predict, and the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial, regardless of outcome. We believe
the amounts provided in our Consolidated Financial Statements are adequate in light of the probable and
estimated liabilities. However, because such matters are subject to many uncertainties and the ultimate outcomes
are not predictable, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from
the matters described above will not exceed the amounts reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements or
will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

NOTE 16 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Factoring. We have agreements (referred to as “factoring agreements”) with financial institutions to sell
certain of our trade receivables and promissory notes from customers without recourse. We do not believe we are

115

at risk for any material losses as a result of these agreements. In addition, we periodically sell certain LC, without
recourse, received from customers in payment for goods and services.

The following table shows total receivables sold under factoring agreements and proceeds from sales of LC

for the indicated periods:

Factoring and LC fees for the sale of certain trade receivables were recorded in other expense (income), net

and were not material for the periods presented.

Purchase Commitments. We maintain commitments to purchase inventory from our suppliers as well as

goods, services, and other assets in the ordinary course of business. Our liability under these purchase
commitments is generally restricted to a forecasted time-horizon as mutually agreed between the parties. This
forecasted time-horizon can vary among different suppliers. Our estimate of our significant purchase
commitments primarily for material, services, supplies and asset purchases is $3.75 billion as of June 30, 2022, a
majority of which will be due within the next 12 months. Actual expenditures will vary based upon the volume of
the transactions and length of contractual service provided. In addition, the amounts paid under these
arrangements may be less in the event that the arrangements are renegotiated or canceled. Certain agreements
provide for potential cancellation penalties.

Cash LTI Plan. As of June 30, 2022, we have committed $198.8 million for future payment obligations

under our Cash LTI Plan. The calculation of compensation expense related to the Cash LTI Plan includes
estimated forfeiture rate assumptions. Cash LTI awards issued to employees under the Cash LTI Plan vest in
three or four equal installments, with one-third or one-fourth of the aggregate amount of the Cash LTI award
vesting on each anniversary of the grant date over a three or four-year period. In order to receive payments under
a Cash LTI award, participants must be employed by us as of the applicable award vesting date.

Guarantees and Contingencies. We maintain guarantee arrangements available through various financial

institutions for up to $92.1 million, of which $59.6 million had been issued as of June 30, 2022, primarily to fund
guarantees to customs authorities for value-added tax and other operating requirements of our consolidated
subsidiaries in Europe, Israel and Asia.

Indemnification Obligations. Subject to certain limitations, we are obligated to indemnify our current and
former directors, officers and employees with respect to certain litigation matters and investigations that arise in
connection with their service to us. These obligations arise under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, its
bylaws, applicable contracts, and Delaware and California law. The obligation to indemnify generally means that
we are required to pay or reimburse the individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possibly damages and other
liabilities incurred by several of our current and former directors, officers and employees in connection with
these matters. For example, we have paid or reimbursed legal expenses incurred in connection with the
investigation of our historical stock option practices and the related litigation and government inquiries.
Although the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under the
indemnification obligations generally described in this paragraph is theoretically unlimited, we believe the fair
value of this liability, to the extent estimable, is appropriately considered within the reserve we have established
for currently pending legal proceedings.

We are a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify the other

party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in connection with contracts and license

116

agreements or the sale of assets, under which we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against
losses arising therefrom, or provide customers with other remedies to protect against, bodily injury or damage to
personal property caused by our products, non-compliance with our product performance specifications,
infringement by our products of third-party intellectual property rights and a breach of warranties,
representations and covenants related to matters such as title to assets sold, validity of certain intellectual
property rights, non-infringement of third-party rights, and certain income tax-related matters. In each of these
circumstances, payment by us is typically subject to the other party making a claim to and cooperating with us
pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. This usually allows us to challenge the other
party’s claims or, in case of breach of intellectual property representations or covenants, to control the defense or
settlement of any third-party claims brought against the other party. Further, our obligations under these
agreements may be limited in terms of amounts, activity (typically at our option to replace or correct the products
or terminate the agreement with a refund to the other party), and duration. In some instances, we may have
recourse against third parties and/or insurance covering certain payments made by us.

In addition, we may in limited circumstances enter into agreements that contain customer-specific
commitments on pricing, tool reliability, spare parts stocking levels, response time and other commitments.
Furthermore, we may give these customers limited audit or inspection rights to enable them to confirm that we
are complying with these commitments. If a customer elects to exercise its audit or inspection rights, we may be
required to expend significant resources to support the audit or inspection, as well as to defend or settle any
dispute with a customer that could potentially arise out of such audit or inspection. To date, we have made no
significant accruals in our Consolidated Financial Statements for this contingency. While we have not in the past
incurred significant expenses for resolving disputes regarding these types of commitments, we cannot make any
assurance that we will not incur any such liabilities in the future.

It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar
agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in
each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements have not had a material
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 17 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The authoritative guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments, including foreign
exchange contracts and rate lock agreements (collectively “derivatives”) as either assets or liabilities at fair value
on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with the accounting guidance, we designate foreign currency
forward transactions and options contracts and interest rate forward transactions as cash flow hedges. In
accordance with the accounting guidance, we also designate certain foreign currency exchange contracts as net
investment hedge transactions intended to mitigate the variability of the value of certain investments in foreign
subsidiaries.

Our foreign subsidiaries operate and sell our products in various global markets. As a result, we are exposed

to risks relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize foreign exchange contracts to hedge
against future movements in foreign currency exchange rates that affect certain existing and forecasted foreign
currency denominated sales and purchase transactions, such as the Japanese yen, the euro, the pound sterling and
the Israeli new shekel. We routinely hedge our exposures to certain foreign currencies with various financial
institutions in an effort to minimize the impact of certain currency exchange rate fluctuations. These foreign
exchange contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, generally have maturities of less than 18 months. Cash flow
hedges are evaluated for effectiveness monthly, based on changes in total fair value of the derivatives. If a
financial counterparty to any of our hedging arrangements experiences financial difficulties or is otherwise
unable to honor the terms of the foreign currency hedge, we may experience material losses.

Since fiscal 2015, we have entered into four sets of Rate Lock Agreements to hedge the benchmark interest

rate on portions of our Senior Notes prior to issuance. Upon issuance of the associated debt, the Rate Lock

117

Agreements were settled and their fair values were recorded within AOCI. The resulting gains and losses from
these transactions are amortized to interest expense over the lives of the associated debt. We recognized a net
expense of $1.0 million, $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively, for the amortization of the net of the four sets of Rate Lock Agreements that had been recognized in
AOCI, which increased the interest expense on a net basis. As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate unamortized
portion of the fair value of the Rate Lock Agreements was a $54.8 million net gain.

For derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gains or
losses is reported in AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. For derivative contracts executed after adopting the new accounting guidance in
fiscal 2019, the election to include time value for the assessment of effectiveness is made on all forward contracts
designated as cash flow hedges. The change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in AOCI until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The assessment of effectiveness of options contracts designated as cash flow
hedges exclude time value. The initial value of the component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is
recognized in earnings over the life of the derivative contract. Any difference between change in the fair value of
the excluded components and the amounts recognized in earnings are recorded in AOCI.

For derivatives that are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge in a foreign operation and that
meet the effectiveness requirements, the net gains or losses attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are
recorded in cumulative translation within AOCI. The remainder of the change in value of such instruments is
recorded in earnings using the mark-to-market approach. Recognition in earnings of amounts previously recorded
in cumulative translation is limited to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation or
sale of the net investment in the hedged foreign operations.

For derivatives that are not designated as hedges, gains and losses are recognized in other expense (income),

net. We use foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities. The
gains and losses on these derivative instruments are largely offset by the changes in the fair value of the assets or
liabilities being hedged.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities

We present derivatives at gross fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have entered into

arrangements with each of our counterparties, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of
transactions with the same counterparty under certain conditions. The information related to the offsetting
arrangements for the periods indicated was as follows:

NOTE 19 — SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and
in assessing performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.

We have four reportable segments: Semiconductor Process Control; Specialty Semiconductor Process; PCB,
Display and Component Inspection; and Other. The reportable segments are determined based on several factors
including, but not limited to, customer base, homogeneity of products, technology, delivery channels and similar
economic characteristics.

Semiconductor Process Control

The Semiconductor Process Control segment offers a comprehensive portfolio of inspection, metrology and

data analytics products, and related services, which helps IC manufacturers achieve target yield throughout the
entire semiconductor fabrication process, from R&D to final volume production. Our differentiated products and
services are designed to provide comprehensive solutions that help our customers accelerate development and
production ramp cycles, achieve higher and more stable semiconductor die yields and improve their overall
profitability. This reportable segment is comprised of two operating segments, Wafer Inspection and Patterning
and GSS.

Specialty Semiconductor Process

The Specialty Semiconductor Manufacturing segment develops and sells advanced vacuum deposition and

etching process tools, which are used by a broad range of specialty semiconductor customers, including
manufacturers of MEMS, radio frequency communication chips, and power semiconductors for automotive and
industrial applications. This reportable segment is comprised of one operating segment.

PCB, Display and Component Inspection

The PCB, Display and Component Inspection segment enables electronic device manufacturers to inspect,

test and measure PCBs, FPDs and ICs to verify their quality, pattern the desired electronic circuitry on the
relevant substrate and perform three-dimensional shaping of metalized circuits on multiple surfaces. This
segment also engages in the development and marketing of character recognition solutions to banks, financial
and other payment processing institutions and healthcare providers. This reportable segment is comprised of two
operating segments, PCB and Display and Component Inspection.

Other

The Other segment is comprised of one operating segment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we

entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell certain core assets of our non-strategic solar energy business,
OLTS, which accounted for the majority of our Other reportable segment. The sale was completed in the first
quarter of fiscal 2021 with an insignificant amount of proceeds. This business was engaged in the research,
development and marketing of products for the deposition of thin film coating of various materials on crystalline
silicon photovoltaic wafers for solar energy panels.

The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment and allocates resources to those segments

based on total revenue and segment gross profit and does not evaluate the segments using discrete asset
information. Segment gross profit excludes corporate allocations and effects of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments, and
transaction costs associated with our acquisitions related to costs of revenues.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of KLA Corporation

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of KLA Corporation and its subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive
income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022,
including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2)
(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it
accounts for current expected credit losses in 2021.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing
under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

126

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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 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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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 of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the
consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and
(ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit
matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we
are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit
matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Uncertain Tax Position Related to the Ongoing Israeli Tax Authority Matter

As described in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded liabilities for
uncertain tax positions of $217.9 million as of June 30, 2022, which includes a liability for an uncertain tax
position arising from a tax assessment and subsequent Tax Decrees received from the Israel Tax Authority
(“ITA”). The calculation of the Company’s tax liability associated with the ongoing ITA matter involves dealing
with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. Management recognizes liabilities for uncertain
tax positions based on the two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by
determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be
sustained in audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to
measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. Management re-evaluates uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on
factors including, but not limited to changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled
issues under audit and new audit activity.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the uncertain tax
position related to the ongoing ITA matter is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by
management when determining the uncertain tax position and the application of complex tax regulations; (ii) a
high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s
timely identification and accurate measurement of the uncertain tax position; and (iii) the evaluation of audit
evidence available to support the tax liability for the uncertain tax position is complex and resulted in significant
auditor judgment as the nature of the evidence is often highly subjective.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming
our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness

127

of controls relating to the identification and recognition of the liability for the uncertain tax position, controls
addressing completeness of the uncertain tax position, and controls over measurement of the liability. These
procedures also included, among others (i) testing the information used in the calculation of the liability for the
uncertain tax position related to the ongoing ITA matter, including evaluating international filing positions, the
related final tax returns, and communications between the Company and the tax authorities; (ii) testing the
calculation of the liability, including management’s assessment of the technical merits of tax position related to
the ITA matter and estimates of the amount of tax benefit expected to be sustained for the matter; and (iii) testing
the completeness of management’s assessment of both the identification of the uncertain tax position and
possible outcomes of each uncertain tax position.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and

procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”) (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on
Form 10-K (this “Report”) required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b). The evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based on
this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this
Report, our Disclosure Controls were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Attached as exhibits to this Report are certifications of the CEO and CFO, which are required in accordance

with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This Controls and Procedures section includes the information
concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the
certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Definition of Disclosure Controls

Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to

be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules
and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Our Disclosure Controls include components of our internal control over financial
reporting, which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. To the extent that components of our internal control over financial
reporting are included within our Disclosure Controls, they are included in the scope of our annual controls
evaluation.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial

reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2022.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022 has been audited by

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which
appears in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or internal

control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives
will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and
the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that
judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or
by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the
evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fourth quarter
of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
