Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Non-GAAP free cash flow financial
"resulting in non-GAAP free cash flow of $1,206 million"
Non-GAAP free cash flow is a company’s reported cash generated from operations after paying for routine investments in property and equipment, adjusted by management to exclude or include certain items that aren’t part of standard accounting rules. Investors watch it as a practical measure of the cash a business has available for dividends, stock buybacks, debt repayment or reinvestment — like a household’s usable savings after adjusting for one-time or unusual expenses — but calculations vary between firms, so comparisons require caution.
earn-out receivable financial
"The earn-out receivable was measured at fair value at closing"
equity-accounted investees financial
"Results relating to equity-accounted investees amounted to a loss"
Equity-accounted investees are companies in which an investor holds a significant minority stake and can influence—but does not control—management decisions, so the investor records its share of the investee’s profits or losses on its own financial statements and adjusts the investment’s carrying value accordingly. Like being a meaningful partner in a neighborhood business where you help shape decisions but don’t run day-to-day operations, this accounting treatment affects reported earnings, balance-sheet totals and how investors assess value and risk.
Commercial Paper Program financial
"We have a $2 billion Commercial Paper Program"
A commercial paper program is a formal way a company issues very short-term IOUs to raise quick cash, typically for days to months, without using a bank loan. Investors care because it shows how the company manages short-term funding and how trustworthy it appears—like watching whether someone keeps using and repaying a credit card; frequent use or higher costs can signal cash strain, while smooth issuance suggests healthy liquidity.

Introduction and Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q and certain information incorporated herein by reference contains forward-looking statements, which are provided under the “safe harbor” protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan” and “project” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, our management or third parties, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business strategy, financial condition, results of operations, market data as well as any other statements that are not historical facts. These statements reflect beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by our management and information currently available to us. Although we believe that these beliefs and assumptions are reasonable, these statements are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. These factors, risks and uncertainties expressly qualify all subsequent oral and written forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf and include, in addition to those listed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the following:
•market demand and semiconductor industry conditions;
•our ability to successfully introduce new technologies and products;
•the demand for the goods into which our products are incorporated;
•recent changes in global trade policy including tariffs and related trade actions announced by the U.S., China and other countries, potential increase of barriers to international trade, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs, and resulting disruptions to our established supply chains;
•the impact of government actions and regulations, including as a result of executive orders, including restrictions on the export of products and technology;
•increasing and evolving cybersecurity threats and privacy risks;
•our ability to accurately estimate demand and match our production capacity accordingly or obtain supplies from third-party producers;
•our access to production from third-party outsourcing partners, and any events that might affect their business or our relationship with them;
•our ability to secure adequate and timely supply of equipment and materials from suppliers;
•our ability to avoid operational problems and product defects and, if such issues were to arise, to correct them quickly;
•our ability to form strategic partnerships and joint ventures and successfully cooperate with our strategic alliance partners;
•our ability to win competitive bid selection processes;
•our ability to develop products for use in our customers’ equipment and products;
•our ability to successfully hire and retain key management and senior product engineers;
•global hostilities, including the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and resulting regional instability, sanctions and any other retaliatory measures taken against Russia, and the continued hostilities and armed conflict in the Middle East including the ongoing military conflict involving Iran and the resulting disruption to energy markets, industrial gas supplies and global logistical routes, which could adversely impact the global supply chain, disrupt our operations or negatively impact the demand for our products in our primary end markets
•our ability to maintain good relationships with our suppliers;
•our ability to integrate acquired businesses in an efficient and effective manner;
•our ability to generate sufficient cash, raise sufficient capital or refinance our debt at or before maturity to meet our debt service, research and development and capital investment requirements; and
•a change in tax laws could have an effect on our estimated effective tax rates.
We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements and disclaim any obligation to update our view of any risks or uncertainties described herein or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q, except as required by law.
In addition, this Form 10-Q contains information concerning the semiconductor industry, our end markets and business generally, which is forward-looking in nature and is based on a variety of assumptions regarding the ways in which the semiconductor industry, our end markets and business will develop. We have based these assumptions on information currently available to us, including through the market research and industry reports referred to in this Form 10-Q. If any one or more of these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual market results may differ from those predicted. While we do not know what impact any such differences may have on our business, if there are such differences, they could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak to results only as of the date the statements were made. Except for any ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the United States federal securities laws, NXP does not have any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after we file this document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, whether to reflect any future events or circumstances or otherwise.

NXP has one reportable segment representing the entity as a whole, aligning with our organizational structure and with the way our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company.
Our CODM regularly reviews income and expense items at the consolidated company (reporting segment) level and uses net income to evaluate income generated from total assets to evaluate whether and how to reinvest profits into the entity’s operations, shareholder return, acquisitions or otherwise. Net income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results, forecasted information and in competitive analysis. These interim income and expense items are included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and in our notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Dual principal executive offices
The Company maintains two principal executive offices, with global management leadership based in the Netherlands (Eindhoven, which is also our legal corporate headquarters) and in the United States (Austin, TX). The Company is also establishing Singapore as a regional hub.
2 Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Significant Accounting Policies
For a discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – “Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recent accounting standards
Accounting standards not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. It requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
No other new accounting pronouncements were issued or became effective in the period that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
3 Acquisitions and Divestments
2026
On February 2, 2026, we completed the sale of our MEMS Sensors business, previously classified as held for sale, pursuant to the definitive agreement with STMicroelectronics International N.V. dated July 24, 2025. At closing, we received $878 million in cash, with the potential to receive an additional $50 million contingent upon the achievement of specified post‑closing technical milestones ("earn-out receivable"). The earn-out receivable was measured at fair value at closing and included in the
10
consideration transferred, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This resulted in a gain on sale of $627 million recorded in "Other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
There were no material acquisitions during the first nine months of 2026.
2025
TTTech Auto acquisition
On June 17, 2025, NXP announced the closing of the acquisition of 100 % of TTTech Auto for $766 million in cash ($675 million net of cash acquired). TTTech Auto is a leader in innovating unique safety-critical systems and middleware for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The TTTech Auto acquisition complements and expands NXP’s system and software offerings in the Automotive and Industrial & IoT end markets.
The fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the TTTech Auto acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:
Cash | |||||
Other assets | |||||
Other liabilities | ( | ||||
| Identified intangible assets | |||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Net assets acquired | |||||
Our valuation procedures related to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were completed during the first quarter of 2026.
Goodwill arising from the TTTech Auto acquisition is attributed to the anticipated growth from new product sales, sales to new customers, the assembled workforce, and synergies expected from the combination. The goodwill recognized is non-deductible for income tax purposes.
The identified intangible assets assumed were recognized as follows:
Fair value | Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (in Years) | |||||||||||||
| Software | ||||||||||||||
| Technology | ||||||||||||||
| Customer relationships | ||||||||||||||
| Order backlog | ||||||||||||||
| Total identified intangible assets | ||||||||||||||
The income approach was applied to estimate the fair values of the intangible assets acquired. Software, technology, customer relationships, and order backlog were valued using the excess earnings method, which reflects the present values of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the software, technology, customer relationships, and order backlog less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows.
Aviva Links acquisition
On October 24, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100 % of Aviva Links for $222 million in cash ($202 million net of cash acquired) and $26 million through the settlement of previously held investments in Aviva Links. Aviva Links is a provider of Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) compliant in-vehicle connectivity solutions. The Aviva Links acquisition complements and expands NXP’s automotive networking solutions in the Automotive and Industrial & IoT end markets.
The fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the Aviva Links acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:
11
| Other assets | |||||
| Other liabilities | ( | ||||
In-Process R&D ("IPR&D")1 | |||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Net assets acquired | |||||
1Acquired IPR&D is an intangible asset classified as an indefinite lived asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development effort. IPR&D will be amortized over an estimated useful life to be determined at the date the associated research and development effort is completed, or expensed immediately when, and if, the project is abandoned. Acquired IPR&D is not amortized during the period that it is considered indefinitely lived but rather is subject to annual testing for impairment or when there are indicators for impairment.
Our valuation procedures related to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were completed during the third quarter of 2026.
Goodwill arising from the Aviva Links acquisition is attributed to the value related to new technological innovations from future product sales, sales to new customers, the assembled workforce, and synergies expected from the combination. The goodwill recognized is non-deductible for income tax purposes.
The excess earnings method, a variant of the income approach, was applied to estimate the fair value of the IPR&D acquired. The fair value represents the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the IPR&D, adjusted for contributory asset charges related to other acquired assets.
Kinara, Inc. acquisition
On October 27, 2025, NXP closed the previously announced acquisition of 100 % of Kinara, Inc. for $284 million in cash ($283 million net of cash acquired). Kinara is an industry leader in high performance, energy-efficient and programmable discrete neural processing units (NPUs). The Kinara acquisition complements and expands NXP’s solutions for AI-powered edge systems in the Industrial & IoT and Automotive end markets.
The fair values of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the Kinara acquisition, by major class, were recognized as follows:
| Other assets | |||||

In addition, the existing customer relationships are valued using the distributor method, a variant of the income approach, in which a market-based distributor profit margin is used to allocate profits to this intangible asset.
Divestments
There were no material divestments during the first nine months of 2025.
4 Assets Held for Sale
During the fourth quarter of 2025, NXP management committed to selling the buildings and land at our Oak Hill site in Austin, Texas. The carrying amount of the site of $76 million was classified as held for sale and continues to be presented within current assets, representing the majority of the assets classified as held for sale as of September 27, 2026. The asset is available for immediate sale, is being actively marketed, and management expects the sale to be completed within the next six months.

6 Restructuring
At each reporting date, we evaluate our restructuring liabilities, which consist primarily of termination benefits, to ensure that our accruals are still appropriate.
The following table presents the changes in restructuring liabilities in 2026:
| As of January 1, 2026 | Additions | Utilized | Released | Other changes | As of September 27, 2026 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Restructuring liabilities | ( | ( | ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The total restructuring liability as of September 27, 2026, of $148 million is classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under current liabilities ($83 million) and non-current liabilities ($65 million).
The Company has ongoing restructuring initiatives aimed at streamlining manufacturing capacity, reducing costs, and aligning resources with strategic priorities. These initiatives primarily consist of workforce reductions, facility consolidations, and other cost‑saving measures. During the first nine months ended September 27, 2026, the restructuring provision decreased by $122 million, primarily reflecting the execution of previously announced involuntary restructuring programs of $109 million and a release for earlier programs of $18 million. The restructuring charges for the nine-month period ending September 28, 2025, primarily consist of $89 million for personnel related costs for specific targeted actions, offset by a $5 million release for an earlier program.
These restructuring charges recorded in operating income, for the periods indicated, are included in the following line items in the Statement of Operations:

7 Income Tax
Our provision for income taxes for 2026 is based on our EAETR of 19.7 %, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8 %, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.
| For the three months ended | For the nine months ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Discrete tax benefit (provision) items | ( | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Benefit (provision) for income taxes | ( | ( | ( | ( | |||||||||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | % | % | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||
The effective tax rate of 20.2 % for the third quarter of 2026 was higher than the EAETR due to income tax expense for discrete items of $6 million. The discrete items are primarily related to changes in estimates for previous years.
For the first nine months ended September 27, 2026, the effective tax rate of 19.6 % was lower than 19.7 % due to the income tax benefit for discrete items of $2 million. The discrete items are primarily related to the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items and changes in estimates for previous years.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2026 was 19.6 % compared to 19.4 % for the same period in 2025, with discrete items in the respective periods impacting the rates accordingly. Excluding discrete items, the EAETR increased to 19.7 % in 2026 from 18.7 % in 2025, mainly as a result of a taxable capital gain and non-deductible goodwill associated with the divestiture of the MEMS Sensors business in the first quarter of 2026.

Refer to Note 5 – Supplemental Financial Information for information on the total carrying value of investments in equity-accounted investees, and to Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies for NXP’s related party commitments.
11 Fair Value Measurements
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Estimated fair value | |||||||||||||||||
| Fair value hierarchy | September 27, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||

| Derivative instruments-assets | 2 | ||||||||||||||||
| Earn-out receivable | 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| Liabilities: | |||||||||||||||||
| Derivative instruments-liabilities | 2 | ( | ( | ||||||||||||||
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Money market funds (as part of our cash and cash equivalents) and marketable equity securities (as part of other non-current assets) have fair value measurements which are all based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For derivatives (as part of other current assets or accrued liabilities) the fair value is based upon significant other observable inputs depending on the nature of the derivative. The earn-out receivable is related to our previously divested MEMS sensor business and is measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis
We measure and record our non-marketable equity securities, equity method investments and non-financial assets, such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, at fair value when an impairment charge is required.
Assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include non-marketable equity securities and equity method investments that have not been remeasured or impaired in the current period and debt.
12 Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
The Company maintains purchase commitments with certain suppliers, primarily for raw materials, semi-finished goods and manufacturing services and for some non-production items. Purchase commitments for inventory materials are generally restricted to a forecasted time-horizon as mutually agreed upon between the parties. This forecasted time horizon can vary for different suppliers. As of September 27, 2026, other than foundry joint venture commitments, the Company had purchase commitments of $2,936 million, which are due through 2044.
Foundry Joint Venture Commitments
Driven by our investment in VSMC, NXP has committed to invest an additional $565 million in equity through 2027. In addition, NXP has an agreed purchase commitment with VSMC that over the lifetime of the factory the minimal loading will be
21
between 80 % - 90 %, resulting in a total purchase commitment of approximately $14,096 million that is expected to be purchased over 37 years once wafer production starts.
Related to our investment in ESMC, NXP has committed to invest an additional $351 million in equity through 2029.
Lease Commitments
The Company has operating and finance lease arrangements related to buildings (corporate offices, research and development and manufacturing facilities and datacenters), land, machinery and installations and other equipment (vehicles and certain office equipment). As of September 27, 2026, amounts related to future lease payments for operating lease obligations totaled $700 million (December 31, 2025: $519 million), which are due through 2048. The increase from December 31, 2025 is primarily attributable to the execution of new relocation lease agreements during 2026.
Legal Proceedings
We are regularly involved as plaintiffs or defendants in claims and litigation relating to a variety of matters such as contractual disputes, personal injury claims, employee grievances and intellectual property litigation. In addition, our acquisitions, divestments and financial transactions sometimes result in, or are followed by, claims or litigation. Some of these claims may possibly be recovered from insurance reimbursements. Although the ultimate disposition of asserted claims cannot be predicted with certainty, it is our belief that the outcome of any such claims, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, such outcomes may be material to our condensed consolidated statement of operations for a particular period. The Company records an accrual for any claim that arises whenever it considers that it is probable that it is exposed to a loss contingency, and the amount of the loss contingency can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not record a gain contingency until the period in which all contingencies are resolved, and the gain is realized or realizable. Legal fees are expensed when incurred.
Motorola Personal Injury Lawsuits
The Company has assisted Motorola in the defense of personal injury lawsuits pursuant to indemnity obligations under the agreement that separated Freescale from Motorola in 2004. All pending cases were settled as of the end of the first quarter and subsequently paid in the second quarter of 2026. As a result, there are no remaining pending lawsuits related to these matters. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate any further financial impact arising from these claims now that they have been settled.

The Company reevaluates at least on a quarterly basis, claims that have arisen to determine whether accruals need to be established, adjusted or released based on the most current information available to it and based on its best estimate of potential loss. As of September 27, 2026, the Company had accrued $1 million for potential and current legal proceedings, compared to $75 million as of December 31, 2025 (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements), reflecting the resolution of previously accrued matters. The related insurance reimbursement receivable, which was $56 million as of December 31, 2025, and included in "Other current assets" was collected during the nine months ended September 27, 2026, with no balance remaining at period end.
The Company also estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amount accrued based on currently available information for those cases for which such estimate can be made. Given that the known pending legal proceedings with a potentially material aggregate exposure of possible losses were paid during the previous quarter, the Company does not reasonably anticipate any additional potential aggregate exposure of possible loss in excess of the amount accrued.

Financial income (expense) was an expense of $97 million for the three months ended September 27, 2026, compared to an expense of $98 million for the three months ended September 28, 2025. The change in financial income (expense) is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $10 million, mainly driven by lower interest expenses from the redemption of notes and decreased borrowing under our commercial paper program, offset by the interest on three new bonds issued in August 2025. Other financial expenses increased year-over-year primarily due to fair value adjustments in equity securities resulting in a $2 million loss paired with an unfavorable foreign exchange rate result.

YTD 2026 compared to YTD 2025
Financial income (expense) was an expense of $290 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2026, compared to an expense of $276 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2025. The change in financial income (expense) is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income of $17 million mainly due to lower interest rates.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes
Our provision for income taxes for 2026 is based on our EAETR of 19.7%, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8%, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.

Q3 2026 compared to Q3 2025
The effective tax rate of 20.2% for the third quarter of 2026 was higher than the EAETR due to income tax expense for discrete items of $6 million. Excluding discrete items, the EAETR increased to 19.7% in 2026 from 18.7% in 2025, mainly as a result of a taxable capital gain and non-deductible goodwill associated with the divestiture of the MEMS Sensors business in the first quarter of 2026.
YTD 2026 compared to YTD 2025
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2026 was 19.6% compared to 19.4% for the same period in 2025, with discrete items in the respective periods impacting the rates accordingly. Excluding discrete items, the EAETR increased to 19.7% in 2026 from 18.7% in 2025, mainly as a result of a taxable capital gain and non-deductible goodwill associated with the divestiture of the MEMS Sensors business in the first quarter of 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We derive our liquidity and capital resources primarily from our cash flows from operations. We continue to generate strong positive operating cash flows. At the end of the third quarter of 2026, our cash balance was $3,943 million, an increase of $676 million compared to December 31, 2025. Taking into account the available amount of the unsecured revolving credit facility of $3,000 million ("RCF"), we had access to $6,943 million of liquidity as of September 27, 2026. We currently use cash to fund operations, meet working capital requirements, for capital expenditures and for potential common stock repurchases, dividends and strategic investments. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our current available sources of funds (including cash and cash equivalents, RCF of $3,000 million, plus anticipated cash generated from operations) will be adequate to finance our operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and potential dividends for at least the next twelve months.

Cash
At September 27, 2026, our cash balance was $3,943 million of which $316 million was held by SSMC, our consolidated joint venture company with TSMC. Under the terms of our joint venture agreement with TSMC, a portion of this cash can be distributed by way of a dividend to us, but 38.8% of the dividend will be paid to our joint venture partner. During the first quarter of 2026, SSMC declared a dividend of $150 million, payable in two equal installments of $75 million in the first and third quarters. Of each installment, 38.8% was paid to our joint venture partner, TSMC.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the first nine months of 2026, our operating activities provided $2,909 million in cash. This was primarily the result of net income of $2,814 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $192 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(112) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) include non-cash items, such as gain on sale of assets of $(627 million), depreciation and amortization of $555 million, share-based compensation of $328 million and changes in deferred taxes (benefit) of $(84 million).
Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by:
- Increase in other non-current assets of $327 million due to payments to secure production supply (driven primarily by payments of $345 million to support the long-term capacity infrastructure of VSMC),
- Increase in receivables and other current assets of $90 million primarily due to the higher trade accounts receivable driven by
increased sales,
+ Increase in accounts payable and other liabilities of $291 million primarily due to an increase in accrued variable compensation.

This was primarily the result of net income of $1,600 million, adjustments to reconcile the net income of $960 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(655) million. Adjustments to net income (loss) include non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization of $617 million, share-based compensation of $362 million and changes in deferred taxes (benefit) of $(32) million.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by:
- Decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $296 million as a result of lower purchase volumes and timing related to payments,
- Increase in inventories of $180 million to align inventory on hand with expected demand,
- Increase in receivables and other current assets of $81 million due to the related timing of cash collection.

Information Regarding Guarantors of NXP (unaudited)
Summarized Combined Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries
All debt instruments are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, by NXP Semiconductors N.V. and issued or guaranteed by NXP USA, Inc., NXP B.V. and NXP LLC, (together, the “Subsidiary Obligors” and together with NXP Semiconductors N.V., the “Obligor Group”). Other than the Subsidiary Obligors, none of the Company’s subsidiaries (together the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) guarantee the Notes. The Company consolidates the Subsidiary Obligors in its Consolidated Financial Statements and each of the Subsidiary Obligors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
All of the existing guarantees by the Company rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of the Obligor Group. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
The following tables present summarized financial information of the Obligor Group on a combined basis, with intercompany balances and transactions between entities of the Obligor Group eliminated and investments and equity in the earnings of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries excluded. The Obligor Group’s amounts due from, amounts due to, and intercompany transactions with Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been disclosed below the table, when material.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. is the head of a fiscal unity for the corporate income tax and VAT that contains the most significant Dutch wholly owned group companies. The Company is therefore jointly and severally liable for the tax liabilities of the tax entity as a whole, and as such the income tax expense of the Dutch fiscal unity has been included in the net income of the Obligor Group.
The financial information of the Obligor Group includes sales executed through a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary single-billing entity as a sales agent on behalf of an entity in the Obligor Group. The Obligor Group has sales to non-guarantors (for the nine months ended September 27, 2026: $533 million). The Obligor Group has amounts due from equity financing (September 27, 2026: $8,938 million; December 31, 2025: $7,756 million) and due to debt financing (September 27, 2026: $3,229 million; December 31, 2025: $2,695 million) with non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Certain prior period amounts included within the Information Regarding Guarantors disclosure have been adjusted for presentation purposes. These adjustments were immaterial in nature and related to the presentation of the Obligor Group amounts due from equity financing, non-current liabilities and corresponding equity balances in the summarized combined financial information. These adjustments did not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements, results of operations, cash flows, earnings per share, or debt covenant compliance.

Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial information on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”), NXP also provides selected financial measures on a non-GAAP basis which are adjusted for specified items. The adjustments made to achieve these non-GAAP financial measures or the non-GAAP financial measures as specified are described below, including the usefulness to management and investors.
In managing NXP’s business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. When measuring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from cost‑reduction actions with the goal of increasing our gross margin and operating margin, as well as in assessing appropriate levels of research and development efforts. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and other operating expenses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting NXP’s business. We believe that they enable investors to make additional comparisons of our operating results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of expenses unrelated to core operating performance, certain non-cash expenses and share-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in NXP’s underlying performance. This information also enables investors to compare financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management.
The presentation of these and other similar items in NXP’s non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
| Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure | Definition | Usefulness to Management and Investors | ||||||||||||
| Purchase price accounting effects | Purchase price accounting ("PPA") effects reflect the fair value adjustments impacting acquisition accounting and other acquisition adjustments charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This typically relates to inventory, property, plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets, such as developed technology and marketing and customer relationships acquired. The PPA effects are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements. These charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired asset and thus are generally recorded over multiple years. | We believe that excluding these charges related to fair value adjustments for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures allows the users of our financial statements to better understand the historic and current cost of our products, our gross margin, our operating costs, our operating margin, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies. | ||||||||||||
| Restructuring | Restructuring charges are costs associated with a restructuring plan and are primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. Charges related to restructuring are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements | We exclude restructuring charges, including any adjustments to charges recorded in prior periods, for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because these costs do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends. | ||||||||||||
| Share-based compensation | Share-based compensation consists of incentive expense granted to eligible employees in the form of equity-based instruments. Charges related to share-based compensation are recorded within both cost of revenue and operating expenses in our US GAAP financial statements. | We exclude charges related to share-based compensation for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe these charges, which are non-cash, are not representative of our core operating performance as they can fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within our control, such as our stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued. We believe these adjustments provide investors with a useful view, through the eyes of management, of our core business model, how management currently evaluates core operational performance, and additional means to evaluate expense trends. | ||||||||||||
| Other incidentals | Other incidentals consist of certain items which may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. These may include such items as process and product transfer costs, certain charges related to acquisitions and divestitures, litigation and legal settlements, costs associated with the exit of a product line, factory or facility, environmental or governmental settlements, and other items of similar nature. | We exclude these certain items which may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent or directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of the Company’s core operating performance for purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends. | ||||||||||||
35
| Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure | Definition | Usefulness to Management and Investors | ||||||||||||
| Non-GAAP Provision for income taxes | Non-GAAP provision for income taxes is NXP's GAAP provision for income taxes adjusted for the income tax effects of the adjustments to our GAAP measure, including PPA effects, restructuring costs, share-based compensation, other incidental items and certain other adjustments to financial income (expense) items. Additionally, adjustments are made for the income tax effect of any discrete items that occur in the interim period. Discrete items primarily relate to unexpected tax events that may occur as these amounts cannot be forecasted (e.g., the impact of changes in tax law and/or rates, changes in estimates or resolved tax audits relating to prior year tax provisions, the excess or deficit tax effects on share-based compensation, etc.). | The non-GAAP provision for income taxes is used to ascertain and present on a comparable basis NXP's provision for income tax after adjustments, the usefulness of which is described within this table. Additionally, the income tax effects of the adjustments to achieve the noted non-GAAP measures are used to determine NXP's non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and accordingly, our diluted non-GAAP earnings per share attributable to stockholders. | ||||||||||||
| Free Cash Flow | Free Cash Flow represents operating cash flow adjusted for net additions to property, plant and equipment. | We believe that free cash flow provides insight into our cash-generating capability and our financial performance and is an efficient means by which users of our financial statements can evaluate our cash flow after meeting our capital expenditure. | ||||||||||||
| Net debt | Net debt represents total debt (short-term and long-term) after deduction of cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits. | We believe this measure provides investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enables comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect of calculating our net leverage. | ||||||||||||
