  • Risk Factor Summary Risks Related to Our Business • Our operating results and financial conditions are affected by downturns in the semiconductor industry, changes in end-market demand and other macro-economic trends. • The decline of personal computing (“PC”) markets may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. • Our strategy of diversification into different market segments may not succeed according to our expectations and may expose us to new risks and place significant strains on our management, operational, financial and other resources. • Our operating results may fluctuate from period to period due to many factors, which may make it difficult to predict our future performance. • Geopolitical and economic conflicts between United States and China may adversely affect our business. • Our revenue may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to ordering patterns from our distributors and seasonality. • We may not be able to introduce or develop new and enhanced products that meet or are compatible with our customer’s product requirements in a timely manner. • We may not win sufficient designs, or our design wins may not generate sufficient revenue for us to maintain or expand our business. • Our success depends upon the ability of our OEM end customers to successfully sell products incorporating our products. • The operation of our Oregon Fab subjects us to additional risks and the need for additional capital expenditures which may negatively impact our results of operations. • Defects and poor performance in our products could result in loss of customers, decreased revenue, unexpected expenses and loss of market share, and we may face warranty and product liability claims arising from defective products. • The average selling prices of products in our markets have historically decreased rapidly and will likely do so in the future, which could harm our revenue and gross margins. • If we do not forecast demand for our products accurately, we may experience product shortages, delays in product shipment, excess product inventory, or difficulties in planning expenses, which will adversely affect our business and financial condition. • We face intense competition and may not be able to compete effectively which could reduce our revenue and market share. • Our reliance on third-party semiconductor foundries to manufacture our products subjects us to risks. • Our lack of control over the JV Company may adversely affect our operations. • Our reliance on distributors to sell a substantial portion of our products subjects us to a number of risks. • We have made and may continue to make strategic acquisitions of other companies, assets or businesses and these acquisitions introduce significant risks and uncertainties. • If we are unable to obtain raw materials in a timely manner or if the price of raw materials increases significantly, production time and product costs could increase, which may adversely affect our business. • We may not be able to accurately estimate provisions at fiscal period end for price adjustment and stock rotation rights under our agreements with distributors, and our failure to do so may impact our operating results. • Our operation of two wholly-owned packaging and testing facilities are subject to risks that could adversely affect our business and financial results. • We may be adversely affected by any disruption in our information technology systems. • We depend on the continuing services of our senior management team and other key personnel. • Failure to protect our patents and our other proprietary information could harm our business and competitive position. • Intellectual property disputes could result in lengthy and costly arbitration, litigation or licensing expenses or prevent us from selling our products. • Evolving export control regulations may adversely affect our financial performance and business operations. • Global or regional economic, political and social conditions could adversely affect our business and operating results. • Our business operations could be significantly harmed by natural disasters or global epidemics. • Our insurance may not cover all losses, including losses resulting from business disruption or product liability claims. • Our international operations subject our company to risks not faced by companies without international operations. • If we fail to maintain an effective internal control environment as well as adequate control procedures over our financial reporting, investor confidence may be adversely affected thereby affecting the value of our stock price. • We are subject to the risk of increased income taxes and changes in existing tax rules. • Our debt agreements include financial covenants that may limit our ability to pursue business and financial opportunities and subject us to risk of default. • The imposition of U.S. corporate income tax on our Bermuda parent and non-U.S. subsidiaries could adversely affect our results of operations. • We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. holders. • Changes in our United States federal income tax classification, or that of our subsidiaries, could result in adverse tax consequences to our 10% or greater U.S. shareholders. • Changes in tariffs and international trade policies affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial performance.
  • Risks Related to Doing Business in China • China’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, could affect our business and growth. • Changes in China’s laws, legal protections or government policies on foreign investment in China may harm our business. • The continuing trade tensions between the U.S. and China may result in increased tariffs on imported goods from China could adversely affect our business operations. • Our China subsidiaries’ current corporate structure and business operations may be affected by the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC and the New Company Law (defined below). • Limitations on our ability to transfer funds to our China subsidiaries could adversely affect our ability to expand our operations, make investments that could benefit our businesses and otherwise fund and conduct our business. • China's currency exchange control and government restrictions on investment repatriation may impact our ability to transfer funds outside of China. • The M&A Rules and certain other PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China. • Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between U.S. dollar and Chinese Yuan ("RMB"). • PRC labor laws may adversely affect our results of operations. • Our business operations in China are subject to complex and evolving PRC data security, data privacy, and cybersecurity laws, and any non-compliance could subject us to severe penalties, operational disruptions, or structural changes. • Strict regulatory oversight and evolving laws in China regarding data security, cyber security, and cross-border data transfers may restrict our operational data flows, increase compliance costs, or subject us to administrative penalties. • Relations between Taiwan and China could negatively affect our business, financial condition and operating results and, therefore, the market value of our common shares.
  • Our revenue from the PC markets accounted for a significant portion of our total revenue in recent years.
  • For example, demand for PC declined due to an industry-wide inventory correction and the ensuing downturn in the semiconductor industry from late 2022 to the end of 2023 and early 2024.
  • While the negative impact of inventory correction gradually subsided since mid-2024 and early 2025, in the first half of 2026, the semiconductor industry experienced a severe constraint in memory supplies (DRAM and NAND flash) driven by data center AI infrastructure demand, which adversely affected the demand in the PC market.
  • We cannot predict when the current memory constraint will end and whether the PC market will return to a more normalized level.
  • As part of the growth strategy to diversify our product portfolio and in response to the decline of the PC markets, we have been developing new technologies and products designed to penetrate into other markets and applications, including merchant power supplies, power supplies, flat panel TVs, smart phones, tablets, AI datacenters, servers, graphics cards, gaming consoles, datacom, telecommunications, home appliances, power tools, and industrial motor controls.
  • These factors include, among others: • a deterioration in general demand for electronic products, particularly the PC market, as a result of global or regional financial crises and associated macro-economic slowdowns, and/or the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; • a deterioration in business conditions at our distributors and /or end customers; • adverse general economic conditions in the countries where our products are sold or used; • the emergence and growth of markets for products we are currently developing; • our ability to successfully develop, introduce and sell new or enhanced products in a timely manner and the rate at which our new products replace declining orders for our older products; • the anticipation, announcement or introduction of new or enhanced products by us or our competitors; • changes in the selling prices of our products and in the relative mix in the unit shipments of our products, which have different average selling prices and profit margins; • the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures, including expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business operations and infrastructure; • the announcement of significant acquisitions, disposition or partnership arrangements; • changes in the utilization of our in-house manufacturing capacity and the availability of manufacturing capacity at third-party foundries and the JV Company; • supply and demand dynamics and the resulting price pressure on the products we sell; • the unpredictable volume and timing of orders, deferrals, cancellations and reductions for our products, which may depend on factors such as our end customers’ sales outlook, purchasing patterns and inventory adjustments based on general economic conditions or other factors; • changes in laws and regulations affecting our business operations, including trade regulations and tariffs; • changes in costs associated with manufacturing of our products, including pricing of wafer, raw materials and assembly services; • our concentration of sales in consumer applications and changes in consumer purchasing patterns and confidence; and • the adoption of new industry standards or changes in our regulatory environment.
  • Disagreements between the United States and China with respect to their political, military or economic policies toward Taiwan may contribute to further controversies.
  • Our customers’ products often incorporate third-party memory components.
  • The memory market has in the past experienced supply imbalances, capacity constraints, and pricing volatility, and the industry is currently experiencing a global shortage of certain memory components as a result of AI-driven demand.
  • These conditions are likely to impact our customers and may limit their ability to manufacture their end products or may cause them to adjust production schedules, delay product launches, or revise demand forecasts, which in turn could lead them to reduce, delay, or cancel orders for our products, even when demand for their end products remains strong.
  • The current shortage and resulting price increase for memory components also may lead our customers to increase prices of their end products, which could lead to decreased demand for those products, negatively impacting orders for our products in the longer term.
  • In addition, uncertainty regarding the availability or pricing of memory components or other key components may impair our ability to accurately forecast demand, manage inventory levels, or plan production.
  • Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • As of June 30, 2026, our equity interest in the JV Company was approximately 18.9%.
  • Because we no longer have a controlling interest in the JV Company, the JV Company is operating and will continue to operate independently, and our influence on all aspects of the JV Company’s business operations will be diminished.
  • Two distributors, WPG and Promate, collectively accounted for 72.3%, 73.4% and 71.0% of our revenue for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • Also we may incur significant costs in efforts that may not result in a successful acquisition.
  • Our estimated allowances for price adjustments, which we offset against accounts receivable from distributors, were $38.7 million and $40.8 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
  • Our estimated liabilities for stock rotation at June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $6.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
  • Our operations of a packaging and testing facility are subject to risks that could adversely affect our business and financial results.
  • In addition, we have dedicated significant resources and effort to retain and recruit talents in the semiconductor industry, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully compete with our peer companies in attracting qualified talents.
  • As of June 30, 2026, we owned 961 issued U.S. patents expiring between 2026 and 2044 and had 78 pending patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
  • In addition, we have manufacturing facilities in Oregon and Shanghai, which may be subject to disruption due to natural disasters such as flood and fire.
  • In August 2026, our packaging and testing facilities in Shanghai were flooded due to a strong typhoon, which caused us to suspend production temporarily, and we also incurred additional costs relating to cleanup and outsourcing packaging capacity.
  • We currently do not have redundant, multiple site capacity in the event of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event, and we may not be able to locate suitable replacement capacity in the event we suspend production.
  • In the event of such an occurrence, our business and financial performance would be adversely affected.
  • Our effective tax rate was (21.0)%, 31.0% and (138.1)% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
  • In order to avoid EU “blacklisting”, both Bermuda and Cayman Islands enacted laws that require Bermuda and Cayman companies carrying on one or more “relevant activity” (including: banking, insurance, fund management, financing, leasing, headquarters, shipping, distribution and service center, intellectual property or holding company) to maintain a substantial economic presence in Bermuda and Cayman Islands in order to comply with the economic substance requirements.
  • However, the legislation remains subject to further clarification and interpretation by Bermuda and Cayman Islands authorities and, accordingly, there is no guarantee that we will be deemed to be compliant.
  • The U.S. has implemented, proposed, and continues to evaluate changes to tariffs and other international trade measures affecting imports and exports.
  • Although the tariffs imposed in 2025 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) on U.S. imports from virtually all countries were ultimately invalidated by the U.S.
  • Supreme Court in 2026, a global tariff regime was largely preserved through alternative tariff authorities, including Section 122 and Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.
  • In response to tariffs announced by the U.S., certain U.S. trading partners including Japan, Taiwan, and Korea, have entered into agreements with the U.S. establishing revised tariff frameworks, while negotiations with other countries, including China, remain ongoing, and it is unclear what the final tariff rate may be.
  • The U.S. has also undertaken actions under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act relating to semiconductor imports and continues to evaluate additional trade measures affecting semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the scope and impact of which remain uncertain.
  • In addition to tariffs, evolving export controls, import restrictions, sanctions, licensing requirements and other trade measures may increase compliance costs, disrupt supply chains, restrict customer access or otherwise adversely affect our business.
  • Crucially, the five-year transitional period mandated by the Foreign Investment Law for foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) to rectify and align their corporate governance structures with the domestic company law officially expired on December 31, 2024.
  • Consequently, all FIEs in China must now fully comply with the new PRC Company Law (the “New Company Law”), which came into effect on July 1, 2024.
  • Under this unified regime, FIEs face dual layers of compliance friction.

  • Our revenue from the PC markets accounted for approximately 46.6%, 43.0% and 35.2% of our total revenue for the years ended June 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
  • While we experienced a surge of demand in the PC market as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related events, such demand has returned to normal level and declined due to an industry-wide inventory correction and the ensuing downturn in the semiconductor industry from late 2022 to the end of 2023 and early 2024.
  • While we believe the negative impact of inventory correction has gradually subsided since mid-2024 and early 2025, we cannot predict how and when the market will be fully recovered.
  • As part of the growth strategy to diversify our product portfolio and in response to the decline of the PC markets, we have been developing new technologies and products designed to penetrate into other markets and applications, including merchant power supplies, power supplies, flat panel TVs, smart phones, tablets, gaming consoles, lighting, datacom, telecommunications, home appliances and industrial motor controls.

  • In July 2025, we entered into an equity transfer agreement with a strategic investor to sell approximately 20.3% of outstanding equity interest in the JV Company.
  • As of June 30, 2025, our interest in the JV Company was 39.2%.
  • Because we no longer have a controlling interest in the JV Company, the JV Company is operating and will continue to operate more independently, and our influence on all aspects of the JV Company’s business operations will be diminished.
  • Our recent sale of equity interest in the JV Company is subject to certain closing conditions, and if the conditions are not met, we may not receive a portion or any of the cash proceeds under the equity transfer agreement and we may be required to unwind the transaction, which will adversely affect our financial results and reputation.
  • On July 14, 2025, we entered into an equity transfer agreement with a third-party strategic investor to sell approximately 20.3% of outstanding equity interest in the JV Company for an aggregate cash consideration of $150 million to be paid in four installments, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
  • Such conditions include, among other things, shareholder approval by the JV Company and certain registrations, approvals by government authorities and closing of additional investment by the strategic investor in the JV Company’s equity, which are outside of our control.
  • For a more detailed description of the installment payments and related conditions, please see Item 7.
  • Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview .
  • We cannot be certain that these conditions will be satisfied on a timely basis, including those conditions that are outside of our control.
