NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “MPS”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with these accounting principles, rules and regulations. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other future periods.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 
 
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition to those described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company is subject to the following significant accounting policy due to its recent acquisition.
 

Goodwill and Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets 
 
Goodwill represents the excess of fair value of purchase consideration over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the date of an acquisition. In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets represent the fair value of incomplete research and development (“R&D”) projects that had not reached technological feasibility as of the date of acquisition. IPR&D assets are initially capitalized at fair value as intangible assets with indefinite lives. When IPR&D projects are completed, they are reclassified as amortizable intangible assets and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Alternatively, if IPR&D projects are abandoned, they are impaired and expensed as R&D costs. Acquisition-related intangible assets with finite lives consist of developed technologies, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining useful lives. The amortization expense is recorded in cost of revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions used in these condensed consolidated financial statements primarily include those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, valuation of share-based awards, contingencies and income tax valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted as of September 30, 2024

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which aims to improve disclosures regarding a public entity’s reportable segments, primarily through more comprehensive disclosures around significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, and should be applied retroactively to all prior periods presented. The Company is evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which aims to improve an entity’s income tax disclosures around its effective rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, disaggregation of income before income taxes and income tax expense. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. The standard should be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Revenue from Product Sales

 

The Company generates revenue primarily from product sales, which include assembled and tested integrated circuits (“ICs”), power modules as well as dies in wafer form. These product sales accounted for 99% of the Company’s total revenue for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The remaining revenue primarily includes royalty revenue from licensing arrangements and revenue from wafer testing services performed for third parties. See Note 8 for the disaggregation of the Company’s revenue by geographic region and by product family.

 

The Company sells its products primarily through third-party distributors, value-added resellers, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), original design manufacturers (“ODMs”) and electronic manufacturing service (“EMS”) providers. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 88% and 77%, respectively, of the Company’s product sales were made through distribution arrangements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 87% and 79%, respectively, of the Company’s product sales were made through distribution arrangements. These distribution arrangements contain enforceable rights and obligations specific to those distributors and not the end customers. Purchase orders, which are generally governed by sales agreements or the Company’s standard terms of sale, set the final terms for unit price, quantity, shipping and payment agreed between the Company and the customer. The Company considers purchase orders to be the contracts with customers. The unit price as stated on the purchase orders is considered the observable, stand-alone selling price for the arrangements.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company excludes taxes assessed by government authorities, such as sales taxes, from revenue.

 

Product sales consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes product revenue from distributors and direct end customers when the following events have occurred: (a) the Company has transferred physical possession of the products, (b) the Company has a present right to payment, (c) the customer has legal title to the products, and (d) the customer bears significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products. In accordance with the shipping terms specified in the contracts, these criteria are generally met when the products are shipped from the Company’s facilities (such as the “Ex Works” shipping term) or delivered to the customers’ locations (such as the “Delivered Duty Paid” shipping term).

 

Under certain consignment agreements, the Company recognizes revenue when the customers consume the products from the consigned inventory locations, at which time control transfers to the customers and the Company issues invoices.

 

10

 

Variable Consideration

 

The Company accounts for price adjustments and stock rotation rights as variable consideration that reduces the transaction price and recognizes that reduction in the same period the associated revenue is recognized. Certain U.S.-based distributors have price adjustment rights when they sell the Company’s products to their end customers at a price that is lower than the distribution price invoiced by the Company. When the Company receives claims from the distributors that products have been sold to the end customers at the lower price, the Company issues the distributors credit memos for the price adjustments. The Company estimates the price adjustments using the expected value method based on an analysis of historical claims, at both the distributor and product level, as well as an assessment of any known trends of product sales mix. Other U.S. distributors and non-U.S. distributors do not have price adjustment rights. The Company records a credit against accounts receivable for the estimated price adjustments, with a corresponding reduction to revenue.

 

Certain distributors have limited stock rotation rights that permit the return of a small percentage of the previous nine months’ purchases in accordance with the contract terms. The Company estimates the stock rotation returns using the expected value method based on an analysis of historical returns, and the current level of inventory in the distribution channel. The Company records a liability for the stock rotation reserve, with a corresponding reduction to revenue. In addition, the Company recognizes an asset for product returns which represents the right to recover products from the customers related to stock rotations, with a corresponding reduction to cost of revenue.

 

Contract Balances

 

Accounts Receivable:

 

The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive consideration after the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s accounts receivables are short-term, with standard payment terms generally ranging from 30 to 90 days. The Company does not require its customers to provide collateral to support accounts receivable. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a customer-by-customer basis. To manage credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers’ financial condition, monitors payment performance, and assesses current economic conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, that may affect collectability of the outstanding receivables. For certain customers, the Company requires standby letters of credit or advance payments prior to shipments of goods. The Company did not recognize any write-offs of accounts receivable or record any allowance for credit losses for the periods presented.

 

Contract Liabilities:

 

For customers without credit terms, the Company requires cash payments two weeks before the products are scheduled to be shipped to the customers. The Company records these payments received in advance of performance as customer prepayments within current accrued liabilities. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, customer prepayments totaled $6.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The increase in the customer prepayment balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted from an increase in unfulfilled customer orders for which the Company had received payments. 

 

Practical Expedients

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.

 

The Company’s standard payment terms generally require customers to pay 30 to 90 days after the Company satisfies the performance obligations. For those customers who are required to pay in advance, the Company satisfies the performance obligations generally within a quarter. For these reasons, the Company has elected not to determine whether contracts with customers contain significant financing components.

 

The Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations primarily include products held in consignment arrangements and customer purchase orders for products that the Company has not yet shipped. Because the Company expects to fulfill these performance obligations within one year, the Company has elected not to disclose the amount of these remaining performance obligations.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

2014 Equity Incentive Plan

 

In April 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in June 2013. In October 2014, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the 2014 Plan. The amended 2014 Plan became effective on November 13, 2014, and provided for the issuance of up to 5.5 million shares. In April 2020, the Board of Directors further amended and restated the amended 2014 Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2014 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in June 2020. The Amended and Restated 2014 Plan became effective on June 11, 2020, and provides for the issuance of up to 10.5 million shares. The Amended and Restated 2014 Plan will cease being available for new awards on June 11, 2030. As of September 30, 2024, 3.9 million shares remained available for future issuance under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan.

The intrinsic value related to vested RSUs was $65.7 million and $148.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The intrinsic value related to vested RSUs was $494.4 million and $388.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the total intrinsic value of all outstanding RSUs was $1.6 billion, based on the closing stock price of $924.50. As of September 30, 2024, unamortized compensation expense related to all outstanding RSUs was $299.6 million with a weighted-average remaining recognition period of approximately two years.

 

Time-Based RSUs:

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Compensation Committee granted 31,000 RSUs with service conditions to non-executive employees and non-employee directors. The RSUs generally vest over four years for employees and one year for directors, subject to continued service with the Company.

 

2024 PSUs:

 

In February 2024, the Compensation Committee granted 50,000 PSUs to the executive officers, which represent the target number of shares that can be earned based on the degree of achievement of three sets of independent performance goals (“2024 Executive PSUs”). For the first goal, the executive officers can earn up to 300% of the target number of the 2024 Executive PSUs based on the achievement of the Company’s average three-year (2024 through 2026) revenue growth rate in excess of the analog industry’s average three-year revenue growth rate as published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (the “SIA”). For the second goal, the executive officers can earn 100% of the target number of the 2024 Executive PSUs if the Company achieves a reduction in 2026 of 25% global combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions against the 2022 baseline. For the third goal, the executive officers can earn 50% of the target number of the 2024 Executive PSUs if more than one-third of the Company’s total 2026 revenue in the automotive market is generated from Electronic Vehicle (“EV”) automakers. In addition, for the third goal, the executive officers can earn 50% of the target number of the 2024 Executive PSUs if total 2026 revenue from products enabling EV powertrains and EV 48V systems grows to 200% of the 2023 baseline. For the first goal, a percentage of the 2024 Executive PSUs will fully vest on December 31, 2026, depending on the degree to which the pre-determined goal is met during the performance period. The 2024 Executive PSUs related to the second and the third goal will fully vest on December 31, 2026 if the pre-determined goals are met during the performance period. Assuming the achievement of the highest level of the performance goals, the total stock-based compensation cost for the 2024 Executive PSUs will be $154.3 million. 
 
In February 2024, the Compensation Committee granted 11,000 PSUs to certain non-executive employees, which represent the target number of shares that can be earned based on the degree of achievement of the Company’s 2025 revenue goals for certain regions or product line divisions, or based on the degree of achievement of the Company’s average two-year (2024 and 2025) revenue growth rate compared against the analog industry’s average two-year revenue growth rate as published by the SIA (“2024 Non-Executive PSUs”). The maximum number of shares that an employee can earn is either 200% or 300% of the target number of the 2024 Non-Executive PSUs, depending on the job classification of the employee. 50% of the 2024 Non-Executive PSUs will vest in the first quarter of 2026 depending on the degree to which the pre-determined goals are met during the performance period. The remaining 2024 Non-Executive PSUs will vest over the following two years on a quarterly basis. Assuming the achievement of the highest level of performance goals, the total stock-based compensation cost for the 2024 Non-Executive PSUs will be $17.7 million. 
 
The 2024 Executive PSUs and the 2024 Non-Executive PSUs contain a purchase price feature, which requires the employees to pay the Company $30 per share upon vesting of the shares. The $30 purchase price requirement is deemed satisfied and waived if the Company’s stock price on the last trading day of the performance period is $30 higher than the grant date stock price of $632.98. The Company determined the grant date fair value of the 2024 Executive PSUs and the 2024 Non-Executive PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions: stock price of $632.98, simulation term of three years, expected volatility of 49.4%, risk-free interest rate of 4.1%, and expected dividend yield of 0.8%. There is no illiquidity discount because the awards do not contain any post-vesting sales restrictions.

2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended and restated, the 2004 ESPP)

 

On August 16, 2023, the 2004 ESPP was amended and restated to, among other changes, provide for the issuance of up to 4.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2004 ESPP will expire on August 16, 2038.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 7,000 and 9,000 shares were issued under the 2004 ESPP, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 18,000 and 18,000 shares were issued under the 2004 ESPP, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, 4.4 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2004 ESPP.

 

The intrinsic value of the shares issued was $2.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The intrinsic value of the shares issued was $5.4 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the unamortized expense was $1.4 million, which will be recognized through the first quarter of 2025. The Black-Scholes model was used to value the employee stock purchase rights with the following weighted-average assumptions:

4. ACQUISITION

 

On January 3, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Axign B.V. (“Axign”), a Dutch company that designs and develops class-D audio ICs, targeting applications ranging from portable consumer speakers to automotive and professional-grade multi-speaker systems. Commencing on the Acquisition Date, Axign became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The purchase consideration was $33.4 million in cash. Cash paid at the Acquisition Date included $3.8 million that is being held in an escrow account for a one-year period as recourse in the event of a breach of Axign’s representations and warranties. 

 

In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred $0.4 million in transaction costs that were expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The purchase price allocation for Axign is as follows (in thousands):

 

Inventory

  $ 720  

Other tangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed

    1,487  

Intangible assets:

       

Developed technology

    9,184  

IPR&D

    2,147  

Total identifiable net assets acquired

    13,538  

Goodwill

    19,860  

Total net assets acquired

  $ 33,398  

 

The intangible asset acquired with a finite life includes the core developed technology with an estimated remaining useful life of eight years. The acquired intangible asset with an indefinite life includes an incomplete R&D project that had not reached technological feasibility as of the Acquisition Date. The fair values of the developed technology and the IPR&D were determined using the income approach.

 

The goodwill arising from the acquisition was primarily attributed to the assembled workforce and synergies that are anticipated to enable the Company to develop solutions with lower power consumption in the consumer and automotive markets using Axign’s digital feedback technology. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

7. NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock, and calculated using the treasury stock method. Contingently issuable shares, including equity awards with performance conditions or market conditions, are considered outstanding shares of common stock and included in the basic net income per share as of the date that all necessary conditions to earn the awards have been satisfied. Prior to the end of the contingency period, the number of contingently issuable shares included in the diluted net income per share is based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the arrangement at the end of the reporting period.

 

The Company’s RSUs contain forfeitable rights to receive cash dividend equivalents, which are accumulated and paid to the employees when the underlying RSUs vest. Dividend equivalents accumulated on the underlying RSUs are forfeited if the employees do not fulfill the requisite service requirement and, as a result, the awards do not vest. Accordingly, these awards are not treated as participating securities in the net income per share calculation.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

Stock Repurchase Program
 
In October 2023, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $640.0 million in the aggregate of its common stock through October 29, 2026. Shares are retired upon repurchase. The Company repurchased 6,000 and 19,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5.5 million and $14.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
 
Stock repurchased under the program may be made through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or other structures in accordance with applicable state and federal securities laws, at times and in amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and the number of any repurchased common stock will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, legal requirements, share price, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
 
The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 requires a 1% excise tax based on the value of certain stock repurchases in excess of stock issued for employee compensation made after December 31, 2022. This provision did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

8. SEGMENT, SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

 

The Company operates in one reportable segment that includes the design, development, marketing and sale of high-performance, semiconductor-based power electronics solutions for the enterprise data, storage and computing, automotive, communications, consumer and industrial markets. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company derives a majority of its revenue from sales to customers located outside North America, with geographic revenue based on the customers’ ship-to locations.

 

The Company sells its products primarily to third-party distributors and value-added resellers, and directly to OEMs, ODMs and EMS providers. The following table summarizes those customers with sales equal to 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue:

Distributor B

Distributor C

  *   11%  *   10%

 


* Represents less than 10%

 

The Company’s agreements with these third-party customers were made in the ordinary course of business and may be terminated with or without cause by these customers with advance notice. Although the Company may experience a short-term disruption in the distribution of its products and a short-term decline in revenue if its agreement with any of the distributors were terminated, the Company believes that such termination would not have a material adverse effect on its financial statements because it would be able to engage alternative distributors, resellers and other distribution channels to deliver its products to end customers within a short period following any termination of the agreement with a distributor.

 

The following table summarizes those customers with accounts receivable equal to 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Product Warranties

 

The Company generally provides either a one- or two-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship and will repair the products, provide replacements at no charge to customers or issue a refund. As they are considered assurance-type warranties, the Company does not account for them as separate performance obligations. Warranty reserve requirements are generally based on a specific assessment of the products sold with warranties when a customer asserts a claim for warranty or for a product defect.
