Overview

We are a global leader in the design, development, and marketing of sensor integrated circuits (“ICs”) and application-specific power ICs, that enable the sensing, motion control, and power management functions of complex electromechanical or power conversion systems. We primarily serve automotive and industrial markets, including advanced industrial markets such as Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) data centers, robotics, and energy infrastructure, where our solutions enable customers to sense, move, and manage power with efficiency, precision, and reliability.

Our sensor ICs provide critical feedback for motion, position, speed, and electrical current sensing, while our power ICs control motors and manage power conversion and regulation across a wide range of applications. By embedding system-level intelligence directly into our products, we reduce the number of components required in a customer’s design while improving performance, energy efficiency, safety, and reliability. We believe our deep application knowledge, differentiated technology, and strong customer relationships enable us to deliver solutions that are more integrated, intelligent and efficient than typical ICs.

We are headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire and have a global footprint across multiple continents. Our portfolio includes more than 1,500 products, and we ship approximately 2.1 billion units annually to more than 15,000 customers worldwide. During the three-month periods ended June 26, 2026 and June 27, 2025, we generated $259.2 million and $203.4 million in total net sales, respectively, with $15.9 million and $(13.2) million in net income (loss), respectively.

Other Key Factors and Trends Affecting Our Operating Results

Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by numerous other factors and trends, including the following:

Inflation

Inflation rates in the markets in which we operate have remained elevated and may continue to rise as a result of cost increases attributable to a rise in global energy and commodity prices and global tariff policies. Inflation in recent quarters has led us to experience higher costs, including higher labor costs, wafer and other costs for materials from suppliers, and transportation and energy costs. Our suppliers have raised their prices and may continue to raise prices, and in the competitive markets in which we operate, we may not be able to make corresponding price increases to preserve our gross margins and profitability. If inflation rates continue to rise or remain elevated for a sustained period of time, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. While we have attempted to offset increases in these costs through various productivity and cost reduction initiatives, as well as adjusting our selling prices and releasing new products with improved gross margins, our ability to increase our average selling prices depends on market conditions and competitive dynamics. Given the timing of our actions compared to the timing of these inflationary pressures, there may be periods during which we are unable to fully recover the increases in our costs.

Design Wins with New and Existing Customers

Our end customers continually develop new products in existing and new application areas, and we work closely with most of our significant original equipment manufacturer (“OEMs”) customers in our target markets to understand their product roadmaps and strategies. For new products, the time from design initiation and manufacturing until we generate sales can be lengthy, typically between two and four years. As a result, our future sales are highly dependent on our continued success at winning design mandates from our customers. Further, despite current inflationary and pricing conditions, we expect the average sales prices (“ASPs”) of our products to decline over time, and we consider design wins to be critical to our future success as they help mitigate declines in ASPs. We anticipate being increasingly dependent on revenue from newer design wins for our newer products. The selection process is typically lengthy and may require us to incur significant design and development expenditures in pursuit of a design win, with no assurance that our solutions will be selected. As a result, the loss of any key design win or any significant delay in the ramp-up of volume production of a customer’s products into which our product is designed could adversely affect our business. In addition, volume production is contingent upon the successful introduction and market acceptance of our customers’ end products, which may be affected by several factors beyond our control.

Customer Demand, Orders and Forecasts

Demand for our products is highly dependent on market conditions in the end markets in which our customers operate, which are generally subject to seasonality, cyclicality, tariffs and other pricing increases and competitive conditions. In addition, a substantial portion of our total net sales is derived from sales to customers that purchase large volumes of our products. These customers generally provide periodic forecasts of their requirements. However, these forecasts do not commit such customers to minimum purchases, and customers can revise these forecasts without penalty. In addition, as is customary in the semiconductor industry, customers are generally permitted to cancel orders for our products within a specified period. Cancellations of orders could result in the loss of anticipated sales without allowing us sufficient time to reduce our inventory and operating expenses. In addition, changes in forecasts or the timing of orders from customers expose us to the risks of inventory shortages or excess inventory. These risks may be compounded by broader geopolitical and supply chain disruptions affecting the electronics supply chain, even when our own supply, manufacturing and distribution capabilities are unaffected. Because our products are incorporated into our customers’ end products alongside components and materials supplied by numerous third parties over whom we have no control, a shortage, trade restriction, geopolitical disruption or other event affecting any other critical component or input could cause our customers to delay, reduce, reschedule or cancel orders for our products, and we have observed that the effects of such disruptions may lag the underlying event by one or more quarters. We are currently operating in an inflationary environment for our products as a result of a rise in global energy and commodity prices and global tariff policies, which also have the potential to reduce end market demand in certain markets. Over the past several quarters, we and other semiconductor companies have experienced an increase in market demand, but historically such periods are often followed by periods of softening demand, primarily driven by lower demand from customers across various markets and digestion of excess accumulated inventory. In addition, factors that cause a reduction in demand from the end users of our OEMs’ or other customers’ products, including as a result of increased prices resulting from a rise in global energy and commodity prices and global trade policies, tariffs or a recessionary environment in the markets in which we operate, may in the future continue to cause our direct customers to significantly reduce the number of products ordered from us.

Manufacturing Costs and Product Mix

Gross margin has been, and will continue to be, affected by a variety of factors, including the ASPs of our products, product mix in a given period, material costs, yields, manufacturing costs and efficiencies. We believe the primary driver of gross margin is the ASP negotiated between us and our customers relative to material costs and yields. Our pricing and margins depend on the volumes and the features of the products we produce and sell to our customers. As our products mature and unit volumes increase, we expect their ASPs to decline in the long-term. We continually monitor and work to reduce the cost of our products and improve the potential value our solutions provide to our customers, as we target new design win opportunities and manage the product life cycles of our existing customer designs. We also maintain a close relationship with our suppliers and subcontractors to improve quality, increase yields and lower manufacturing costs. As a result, these declines often coincide with improvements in manufacturing yields and lower wafer, assembly, and testing costs, which offset some or all of the margin reduction that results from declining ASPs. However, we expect our gross margin to fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of changes in ASPs due to product mix, new product introductions, transitions into volume manufacturing and manufacturing costs. Gross margin generally decreases if production volumes are lower as a result of decreased demand, which leads to a reduced absorption of our fixed manufacturing costs. Gross margin generally increases when the opposite occurs.

Cyclical Nature of the Semiconductor Industry

The semiconductor industry has historically been highly cyclical and is characterized by increasingly rapid technological change, product obsolescence, competitive pricing pressures, evolving standards, short product life cycles in consumer and other rapidly changing markets and fluctuations in product supply and demand. New technology may result in sudden changes in system designs or platform changes that may render some of our products obsolete and require us to devote significant research and development resources to compete effectively. Periods of rapid growth and capacity expansion are occasionally followed by significant market correctio

We are headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire and have a global footprint with 27 locations across four continents. Our portfolio includes more than 1,500 products, and we ship approximately 2.1 billion units annually to more than 15,000 customers worldwide. During fiscal years 2026 and 2025, we generated $890.1 million and $725.0 million in total net sales, respectively, with $14.7 million and $72.8 million in net loss, respectively.

Recent Initiatives to Improve Results of Operations

We implemented several initiatives during fiscal years 2025 and 2026 that were designed to improve our operating results during those fiscal years and going forward.

We continue our efforts to leverage our fixed costs and operating margin improvements. Efficiencies may be achieved through cost structure improvements, streamlining of manufacturing and support processes, and further utilization of existing capacity. These manufacturing efficiencies may allow us to leverage higher volumes when demand increases across most of our applications, which would increase the absorption of our fixed costs. Although these initiatives can result in gross margin and operating income improvements, we cannot ensure that these trends will occur or continue over the long-term.

On July 23, 2024, we entered into a share repurchase agreement with Sanken (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to repurchase 38,767,315 shares of our common stock from Sanken in a privately negotiated transaction at a price per share equal to the price per share at which the underwriters in a public underwritten equity offering of shares of our common stock would purchase the shares (the “Equity Offering”). The repurchase of shares of common stock occurred in two separate closings, with the first closing taking place after the closing of the Equity Offering (the “First Closing”) and the second closing (the “Second Closing”) occurring after the receipt of the proceeds from borrowings under the Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility (as defined below). The First Closing of the share repurchase was conditioned upon the closing of the Equity Offering and certain other conditions, and the Second Closing of the share repurchase was conditioned upon the receipt of net proceeds of no less than $300.0 million from incremental term loans under the Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Repurchase Agreement, Sanken reimbursed us for the expenses incurred by us in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Share Repurchase Agreement, and paid a

38

facilitation fee of $35.0 million, which was recorded within additional paid-in-capital with the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

To fund the First Closing, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), on July 24, 2024, pursuant to which we agreed to sell 25,000,000 shares of our common stock to the Underwriters at a price of $23.16 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 shares of our common stock at the same purchase price, which option was exercised in full prior to the closing of the Equity Offering.

On July 26, 2024, we completed the Equity Offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement of 28,750,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $24.00 per share resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $665.9 million, after deducting $24.2 million of underwriting discounts. As described above, we used the net proceeds of the Equity Offering to complete the First Closing under the Share Repurchase Agreement.

On July 29, 2024, we completed the First Closing under the Share Repurchase Agreement, repurchasing 28,750,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate consideration of $628.3 million, which was the Equity Offering price, less the facilitation fee of $35.0 million, underwriting discounts, and reimbursable transaction expenses. The shares repurchased in the First Closing were retired.

On August 6, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to the revolving facility credit agreement dated June 21, 2023 by and among the Company, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Allegro MicroSystems, LLC (“AML”) Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, collateral agent, a letter of credit issuer and a lender, and the other agents, lenders and letter of credit issuers parties thereto (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or replaced from time to time, the “2023 Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Second Amendment increased the total capacity of the revolving credit facility thereunder to $256.0 million.

The Second Amendment also provided for a new $400.0 million tranche of term loans maturing in 2030 (the “Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility”), the proceeds of which were primarily used to (i) repurchase a portion of our common stock in connection with the Second Closing, (ii) refinance the Company’s $250.0 million term loan maturing in 2030 entered into on October 31, 2023, (iii) pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing and (iv) for general corporate purposes. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility amortized at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility bore interest, at our option, at a rate equal to (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) in effect from time to time plus 2.25% or (ii) the highest of (x) the Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (y) the prime lending rate or (z) the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.0% in effect from time to time plus 1.25%. In conjunction with this refinancing, we recognized $3.6 million as a debt discount, which will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term using the effective interest method.

A payment of $25.0 million was applied to the term loan balance on October 31, 2024, which eliminated future required minimum quarterly payments.

On August 7, 2024, we completed the Second Closing under the Share Repurchase Agreement, repurchasing 10,017,315 shares of our common stock for aggregate cash consideration of $225.5 million, which was the Equity Offering price, less underwriting discounts and reimbursable transaction expenses. We used a portion of the proceeds from the Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility and existing cash on hand to complete the Second Closing. The shares repurchased in the Second Closing were retired.

The Share Repurchase Agreement was accounted for as a forward repurchase contract as there were certain terms that could have caused the obligation not to be fulfilled. Accordingly, the contract was initially recorded as a liability at its fair value with subsequent remeasurements recognized in loss on change in fair value of forward repurchase contract until the completion of the First Closing and Second Closing. We recognized a loss of $34.8 million as a result of the fair value forward repurchase contract in the consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the Share Repurchase Agreement, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement with Sanken (the “Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement”), which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2022, by and among us, Sanken and OEP SKNA, L.P. (“OEP”). The Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, which became effective in accordance with its terms on July 29, 2024, removed OEP as a party and amended certain rights and obligations of us and Sanken.

39

On September 20, 2024, we, along with Sanken, PSL, and PS Investment Aggregator, L.P. (“Subscriber”), completed the transaction (the “PSL Closing”) contemplated by a Sale and Subscription Agreement that we, Sanken, PSL and Subscriber entered into on April 25, 2024 (the “PSL Agreement” and the transaction thereunder, the “PSL Transaction”). As contemplated by the PSL Agreement, Subscriber and certain of its affiliates agreed to make capital contributions to PSL of $175.0 million in exchange for an equity interest in PSL, and we agreed to discharge the PSL Promissory Notes (as defined in Note 21, “Related Party Transactions” to the audited consolidated financial statements) held by us for a value of $10.4 million in exchange for PSL equity interests. Following the PSL Closing, we owned approximately 10.2% of PSL. As a result of PSL's share issuance to Subscriber, we recognized a net loss of $2.8 million related to the difference between the selling price per share and its carrying amount per share and after a gain from the conversion of the PSL Promissory Notes. The loss is in
