NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1Background and Basis of Presentation
Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (Fairchild International, we, our or the the
company) designs, develops, manufactures and markets power analog, power discrete and certain non-power semiconductor solutions through its wholly-owned subsidiary Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation (Fairchild). We deliver
energy-efficient, easy-to-use and value-added semiconductor solutions for power and mobile designs. We help our customers differentiate their products and solve difficult technical challenges with our expertise in power and signal path products. Our
products have a wide range of applications and are sold to customers in the mobile, industrial, appliance, automotive, consumer electronics, and computing markets.
The company is headquartered in San Jose, California and has manufacturing operations in South Portland, Maine, Mountaintop, Pennsylvania,
Cebu, the Philippines, Bucheon, South Korea, and Suzhou, China. We sell our products to customers worldwide.
The accompanying financial
statements of the company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.).
We changed our reportable segments effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 to better reflect the way we currently manage the
business. All periods presented have been revised accordingly to reflect the new reportable segments. Please refer to
Note 17 Segments and Geographic Information
for details.
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, (ASU 2015-03) Interest
Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction of the related debt liability rather than an asset. We adopted
this ASU as of June 28, 2015. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the presentation of other assets, total assets, long-term debt and total liabilities changed for all periods presented. In 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, $3.0 million, $2.6
million, $3.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, was reclassified from other assets to long-term debt. These reclassifications impacted our total assets, total liabilities, and total liabilities, temporary equity and stockholders equity
line items within our consolidated balance sheets by corresponding amounts.
In November 2015, the FASB, issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2015-17, (ASU 2015-17) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified
statement of financial position. The amendment eliminates the guidance requiring an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets into a current amount and a noncurrent amount. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period and can be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and
assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. We have elected early adoption of ASU 2015-17 prospectively. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 had no material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
Pending Acquisition
On
November 18, 2015, Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (Fairchild Semiconductor) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with ON Semiconductor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Falcon Operations Sub, Inc. (together, ON Semiconductor), under which ON Semiconductor agreed to acquire Fairchild Semiconductor. The total transaction value is expected to be approximately $2.4 billion. Under the terms of the Merger
Agreement, on December 4, 2015, ON Semiconductor
12
commenced a tender offer to acquire outstanding shares of Fairchild Semiconductor common stock from our stockholders for $20.00 per share, net to each holder in cash (the Offer
Price). The tender offer is described in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by ON Semiconductor with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 4, 2015 (as amended, the ON Schedule TO). The closing of the tender
offer is subject to various conditions, including there being validly tendered in the tender offer at least a majority of our then-outstanding shares, and the receipt of customary regulatory approvals in the U.S. and other countries. Following
receipt of those approvals and after such time as all shares tendered in the tender offer are accepted for payment, the Merger Agreement provides for the parties to effect a merger which would result in all shares not tendered in the tender offer
(other than shares held by (i) ON Semiconductor, Fairchild Semiconductor or their respective subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, and (ii) stockholders of Fairchild Semiconductor who properly exercised their
appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law) being converted into the right to receive the Offer Price. In addition, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, all outstanding options to purchase shares of Fairchild
Semiconductor common stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and performance units will become fully vested and be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price (net of any applicable exercise price with respect to options).
At the completion of the merger, Fairchild Semiconductor would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ON Semiconductor. Additional information
about our pending acquisition by ON Semiconductor is available in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (as amended, our
Schedule 14D-9). The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the terms and conditions of the tender offer and merger do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, and to
ON Semiconductors tender offer to purchase and other related documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits (e)(1) and (a)(1)(A), respectively, of our Schedule 14D-9, and which are incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement is
also filed as Exhibit 2.01 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2016.
Note 2Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December. Our fiscal calendar, in which each quarter ends on a Sunday, contains 53 weeks every seven
years. This additional week is included in the first quarter of the year. Our results for the years ended December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014, and December 29, 2013 all consist of 52 weeks.
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) requires management
to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, investments, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, business combinations, loss contingencies, and assumptions used in the calculation of income
taxes, valuation of deferred tax assets, and customer incentives, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on managements best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using
historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and
13
circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity, and foreign currency markets, and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such
estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic
environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, delivery has
occurred and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of semiconductor products is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, which is generally when the product is received by the
customer. Shipping costs billed to customers are included within revenue. Associated costs are classified in cost of goods sold.
In 2015,
approximately 63% of our revenue was from distributors. Distributor payments are due under agreed terms and are not contingent upon resale or any other matter other than the passage of time. We have agreements with some distributors and customers
for various programs, including prompt payment discounts, pricing protection, scrap allowances and stock rotation. Sales to these distributors and customers, as well as the existence of sales incentive programs, are in accordance with terms set
forth in written agreements with these distributors and customers. In general, credits allowed under these programs are capped based upon individual distributor agreements. We record charges associated with these programs as a reduction of revenue
at the time of sale based upon historical activity. Our policy is to use both a three to six month rolling historical experience rate as well as a prospective view of products in the distributor channel for distributors who participate in an
incentive program in order to estimate the necessary allowance to be recorded. In addition, under our standard terms and conditions of sale, the products sold by us are subject to a limited product quality warranty. The standard limited warranty
period is one year. We accrue for the estimated cost of incurred but unidentified quality issues based upon historical activity and known quality issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Quality returns are accounted for as a
reduction of revenue.
In some cases, title and risk of loss do not pass to the customer when the product is received by them. In these
cases, we recognize revenue at the time when title and risk of loss is transferred, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. These cases include several inventory locations where we manage consigned inventory for our
customers, including some for which the inventory is at customer facilities. In such cases, revenue is not recognized when products are received at these locations; rather, revenue is recognized when customers take the inventory from the location
for their use.
Advertising
Advertising expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.
Research and Development Costs
Our research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.
Fair Value Measurements
Our
financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and derivative instruments. The carrying amounts of our financial instruments approximate fair value due to their
short-term nature. The fair values of marketable securities are estimated based on quoted market price for these securities.
Fair value
is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset transaction between market participants
14
on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use a fair value hierarchy
based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
|
|
|
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 2Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
|
It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.
When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market based parameters including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities
and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, we are required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument. Changes in the underlying
assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect the results of current or future values. The results may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of an asset or liability.
Please refer to
Note 3 Fair Value Measurements
for further discussion of the fair value of our financial instruments.
Cash, Cash
Equivalents and Other Securities
We invest excess cash in marketable securities consisting primarily of money markets and U.S.
government securities.
We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. Highly liquid investments with maturities greater than three months and less than one year are classified as short-term marketable securities. All other investments with maturities that exceed one year are classified as long-term
marketable securities. At December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, all of our securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a component
of other comprehensive income (OCI) within stockholders equity, net of any related tax effect, if such gains and losses are considered temporary. Realized gains and losses on these investments are included in other income (expense), net.
Declines in value judged by management to be other-than-temporary and credit related are included in impairment of investments in the statement of operations. Unrealized losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). For the
purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. For further discussion of our securities please refer to
Note 4 Marketable Securities
.
Derivatives
In 2015 and 2014, we
utilized various derivative financial instruments to manage market risks associated with the fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. It is our policy to use derivative financial instruments to protect against market risk arising from
transactions occurring in normal course of business. The criteria we use for designating an instrument as a hedge is the instruments effectiveness in risk reduction. To receive hedge accounting treatment, hedges must be highly effective at
offsetting the impact of the hedged transaction.
We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in
our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or AOCI, depending
15
on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction. We classify the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the
underlying hedged items. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
We assess, both at inception
and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows or fair values of the hedged items. We also assess hedge ineffectiveness and record the gain or loss
related to the ineffective portion to current earnings. If we determine that a forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, we discontinue hedge accounting for the affected portion of the hedge instrument, and any related unrealized
gain or loss on the contract is recognized in current earnings.
We used foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our
forecasted foreign exchange denominated revenues and expenses in 2015 and 2014. These derivatives have twelve month terms and the initial fair value, if any, and the subsequent gains or losses on the change in fair value are reported in earnings
within the same statement of operations line as the impact of the foreign currency translation. From time to time, we will also hedge the liability for an expected cash payment in foreign currency. These derivatives have terms that match the
expected payment timing. The initial fair value, if any, and the subsequent gains or losses on the change in fair value are reported in earnings within the same statement of operations line as the change in value of the liability due to changes in
currency value.
We net the fair value of all derivative financial instruments with counter-parties for which a master netting arrangement
is utilized. The notional principal amounts for these instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of year end and do not represent the amount of our exposure to credit or market loss. The estimates of fair value are
based on applicable and commonly used pricing models using prevailing financial market information as of the respective period end. Although we disclose the notional principal and fair value of amounts of derivative financial instruments, we do not
disclose the gains or losses associated with the exposures and transactions that these financial instruments are intended to hedge. The amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of these financial instruments, together with the gains and losses on
the underlying exposures will depend on actual market conditions during the remaining life of the instruments. Please refer to
Note 5 Derivatives
for the gross amounts of our derivative financial instruments under master netting
agreements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We are subject to concentrations of credit risk in our cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivatives, and trade accounts receivable. We
maintain cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with high credit quality financial institutions based upon our analysis of that financial institutions relative credit standing. Our investment policy is designed to limit exposure to
any one institution. We also are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counter-parties to hedging instruments. The counter-parties to all derivative transactions are major financial institutions. However, this does not
eliminate our exposure to credit risk with these institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in such contracts should any of these counter-parties fail to perform as contracted. We consider the risk of counter-party
default to be minimal.
We sell our products to distributors and original equipment manufacturers involved in a variety of industries
including computing, consumer, communications, automotive and industrial. We have adopted credit policies and standards to accommodate industry growth and inherent risk. We perform continuing credit evaluations of our customers financial
condition and require collateral as deemed necessary. Reserves are provided for estimated amounts of accounts receivable that may not be collected. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the reserve.
16
Geographic Concentration Risk
In 2015, 2014 and 2013, we generated 43%, 39% and 36%, respectively, of our total revenues in China. Accordingly, our revenue and profitability
is subject to prevailing regulatory, legal, economic, demographic, competitive and other conditions in this location. Changes in any of these conditions could make it less attractive for us to do business in this location and could have an adverse
effect on our financial results.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are generally depreciated based upon the following estimated useful lives: buildings and
improvements, ten to thirty years, machinery and equipment and software, three to ten years. Depreciation is principally provided under the straight-line method.
Investments
We have certain
strategic investments that are typically accounted for on a cost basis as they are less than 20% owned, and we do not exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the cost method, investments are
held at historical cost, less impairments. We periodically assess the need to record impairment losses on investments and record such losses when the impairment of an investment is determined to be other-than-temporary in nature. A variety of
factors are considered when determining if a decline in fair value below book value is other-than-temporary, including, among others, the financial condition and prospects of the investee.
Other Assets
Other assets include
mold and tooling costs. Molds and tools are amortized over their expected useful lives, generally three to five years.
Goodwill, Intangible Assets,
and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable
tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed annually, as of the last day of the fourth fiscal quarter, and whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill might not be recoverable. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. If we
elect this option and believe, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative two-step impairment test is required; otherwise,
no further testing is required. Alternatively, we may elect to not first assess qualitative factors and immediately perform the quantitative two-step impairment test. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its
carrying value. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to each reporting unit exceeds the fair value of each reporting unit, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of each
reporting units goodwill. If the carrying value of each reporting units goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
Our intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the time of their acquisition and are stated within our consolidated balance sheets, net
of accumulated amortization and impairments, if applicable. Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the economic consumption method if anticipated future revenues can be reasonably
estimated; the straight-line method is used when
17
revenues cannot be reasonably estimated. Amortization is recorded as amortization of acquisition-related intangibles within our consolidated statements of operations. Intangible assets with
indefinite lives are not amortized, however, they are subject to review for impairment. We review our intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, as of the last day of the fourth fiscal quarter, and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Intangible assets such as trademarks and trade names are generally recorded in connection with a business acquisition. Values assigned to intangible assets are based
on our estimates and judgments regarding expectations of the success and life cycle of products and technology acquired.
Long-lived
assets to be held and used, including property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. Determination of
recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the
assets, the assets are written-down to their fair values. We determine the discount rate for this analysis based on the expected internal rate of return for the related business and do not allocate interest charges to the asset or asset group being
measured. Considerable judgment is required to estimate discounted future operating cash flows. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are carried at fair value less costs to sell.
Currencies
Our functional
currency for the majority of operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar, with the exception of certain foreign subsidiaries, whose respective local currencies are designated as the functional currency. Accordingly, entities with U.S. dollar functional
currencies record gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements in current results. In addition, conversion of foreign currency cash and foreign currency transactions are included in current results. For entities with
local currencies designated as the functional currency, translation adjustments that arise due to changes in the exchange rate between the functional currency and the reporting currency over the period are presented as a component of OCI in
stockholders equity.
Realized foreign currency losses were $3.4 million, $1.9 million and $2.2 million for the years ended
December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets must also be assessed. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the associated
temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets which the company does not believe will more likely than not be realized in the future. Deferred taxes are not provided for the undistributed
earnings of the companys foreign subsidiaries that are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S. in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance
.
We plan to repatriate certain non-U.S. earnings which
have been taxed in the U.S. but earned offshore as well as any non-U.S. earnings which are not considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.
Authoritative accounting guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This guidance also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in the
18
interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of income tax expense. To the extent penalties and interest
are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.
Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net
income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock relating to potentially dilutive securities using the
treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common equivalent securities consist of stock options, deferred stock units (DSUs), restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance units (PUs). In calculating diluted earnings per share, the dilutive effect
of stock options is computed using the average market price for the respective period. Certain potential shares of our outstanding stock options are excluded because they are anti-dilutive in the period, but could be dilutive in the future.
Restructuring Charges
We have
made estimates and judgments regarding the amount and timing of our restructuring expense and liability, including current and future period termination benefits, lease termination costs, and other exit costs to be incurred when related actions take
place. We have also assessed the recoverability of certain long-lived assets employed in the business and, in certain instances shortened the expected useful life of the assets based on changes in their expected use. When we determine that the
useful lives of assets are shorter than we had originally estimated, we record additional depreciation to reflect the assets new shorter useful lives. Severance and other related costs and asset-related charges are reflected within our
consolidated statements of operations as a component of restructuring, impairments and other costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation programs grant awards which include stock options, RSUs, PUs and DSUs. We charge the estimated fair value of
awards against income over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair values of our stock option grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The estimated fair values
of the stock options are then expensed over the options vesting periods. The fair values of our RSUs, PUs, and DSUs are based on the market value of our stock on the date of grant. The fair values of our PUs with market-based performance
metrics are estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for RSUs is recognized over the applicable vesting period. We apply an accelerated attribution method to recognize
stock-based compensation expense when accounting for our PUs. The number of units reflected as granted represents the target number of shares that are eligible to vest in full or in part and are earned subject to the attainment of certain
performance criteria established at the beginning of the performance period. Compensation expense associated with these units is initially based upon the number of shares expected to vest after assessing the probability that certain performance
criteria will be met and the associated targeted payout level that is forecasted will be achieved, net of estimated forfeitures. Cumulative adjustments are recorded quarterly to reflect subsequent changes in the estimated outcome of
performance-related conditions until the date results are determined. For PUs with performance metrics that provide for vesting only at the end of the measurement period, related stock-compensation cost is amortized over the performance period on a
straight-line basis.
Contingencies
We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings. Loss contingency provisions are recorded if the potential loss from any
claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated or a range of loss can be determined. These accruals represent
19
managements best estimate of probable loss. Disclosure also is provided when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a
loss will exceed the recorded provision. On a quarterly basis, we review the status of each significant matter and assess its potential financial exposure. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the
determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the
potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise our estimates. These revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Note 3Fair Value Measurements
The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include securities and derivatives. Financial instruments classified as
Level 1 are securities traded on an active exchange as well as U.S. Treasury, and other U.S. government and agency-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Derivatives are classified as Level 2
financial instruments. We do not have any financial instruments classified as Level 3.
The fair value of securities is based on quoted
market prices at the date of measurement.
All of our derivatives are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are
not readily available. For these derivatives, we measured fair value utilizing a third-party pricing service. The pricing service utilizes industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches and observable market
inputs to determine value. These observable market inputs include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. Accordingly, the fair value of
these assets are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The tables below present information about our assets and
liabilities that are regularly measured and carried at fair value and indicate the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value:

Note 5Derivatives
We used derivative instruments in 2015 and 2014 to manage exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The fair value of these
hedges is recorded on the balance sheet. Please refer to
Note 3 Fair Value Measurements
for further information about the fair value of derivatives. Currencies hedged include the Euro, Japanese yen, Philippine peso, Malaysian ringgit,
Korean won, Taiwanese dollar and Chinese yuan. Our objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize the risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures.
Foreign Currency Forward ContractsHedging Instruments
In 2015 and 2014, we used foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign exchange denominated revenues and
expenses. We monitor our foreign currency exposures in an effort to maximize the overall effectiveness of our foreign currency hedge positions. Our objective for holding derivatives is to minimize the risks using the most effective methods to
eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures. The maturities of the hedges are 12 months or less as of the end of December 27, 2015.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to time value are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Hedge
ineffectiveness did not have a material impact on earnings for the years ended December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014, and December 29, 2013.
22
Derivative gains and losses included in AOCI are reclassified into earnings at the time the
forecasted transaction is recognized. For derivative transactions related to inventory, the effective portion of foreign exchange gains and losses deferred in AOCI is reclassified into earnings as the underlying inventory is sold, using historical
inventory turnover rates. We estimate that $3.6 million of net unrealized derivative losses included in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.
The following tables present derivatives designated as hedging instruments:

Note 7Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We assess the impairment of goodwill on an ongoing basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable. Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or more frequently, if indicators of potential impairment arise. In the first quarter of 2015, we reorganized our operating segments. This
reorganization required us to assess the impairment of our goodwill and other long-lived assets. The goodwill impairment guidance requires that entities designate reporting units at the lowest level of an entity that is a business and that can be
25
distinguished, physically and operationally and for internal reporting purposes, from the other activities, operations, and assets of the entity. In previous periods, our reporting units were
equivalent to our reportable segments and are now consistent with the operating segments described in
Note 17 Segments and Geographic Information
.
The impairment assessment is based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of our reporting units based on a
discounted cash flow approach, and/or the market approach which estimates the fair value of our reporting units based on comparable market multiples. The average fair value is then reconciled to our market capitalization with an appropriate control
premium. The discount rates utilized in the discounted cash flows in the first quarter of 2015 ranged from approximately 11.5% to 14.0%, reflecting market based estimates of capital costs and discount rates adjusted for a market participants
view with respect to execution, concentration, and other risks associated with the projected cash flows of the individual segments. The peer companies used in the market approach are primarily the major competitors of each reporting unit. Our
valuation methodology requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance. In addition, we performed various sensitivity analyses based on several key input variables,
which further supported our assessment. If these assumptions differ materially from future results, we may record impairment charges in the future. In the first quarter of 2015, we conducted step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment test as
of the first day of fiscal year 2015. After completing step one of the impairment test, we determined that the estimated fair value of one of our goodwill reporting units was less than the carrying value of that reporting unit. In the first quarter
of 2015, we wrote off the entire goodwill balance for the reporting unit with an estimated fair value less than the carrying value, which resulted in an impairment loss of $0.6 million. This goodwill reporting unit is included in the Analog Power
and Systems Solutions (APSS) reportable segment described in
Note 17 Segments and Geographic Information
. The remainder of our reporting units with goodwill had fair values substantially in excess of book values. We generally allocated
goodwill to the reporting units based on relative fair value of the respective unit.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, we reviewed our
goodwill reporting units for impairment. One of our goodwill reporting units, which is included in our APSS reportable segment, performed slightly below expectations in 2015. Therefore, we conducted step one of the quantitative goodwill impairment
test for that reporting unit. We elected to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test for the remaining goodwill reporting units. We believe, based on either the qualitative or
quantitative assessment, that the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit was greater than its carrying amount, therefore, no further testing was required and there was no goodwill impairment.

(1) During the second quarter of 2015, we changed our presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance
sheet. Debt issuance costs are reflected as a reduction of the related debt liability rather than as an asset. We applied this change in accounting principle retrospectively. Accordingly all previously reported financial information has been
revised. Please refer to
Note 1 Background and Basis of Presentation
for additional details regarding this accounting policy change.
Revolving Credit Facility
On
September 26, 2014, we entered into a new $400.0 million, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility. The facility primarily consists of the credit agreement dated as of September 26, 2014 among Fairchild, the lenders named therein
and Bank of America, NA, as administrative agent. At closing, we paid off all indebtedness under the prior credit facility using approximately $200.0 million of the proceeds provided by the new facility. The prior credit facility was terminated
concurrent with the closing of the new facility. The new facility consists of a $400.0 million five-year revolving credit facility with a $50.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $20.0 million sub-limit for swing
line loans. We have the ability to increase the facility from time to time by the addition of one or more tranches of incremental loans in the form of either (i) incremental term loan facilities or, (ii) incremental increases in the
revolving credit facility.
The aggregate principal amount of all incremental facilities cannot exceed $300.0 million. After adjusting for
outstanding letters of credit, we have $199.3 million available under the credit facility as of December 27, 2015. This revolving borrowing capacity is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. We
have additional outstanding letters of credit of $0.4 million that do not fall under the credit facility as of December 27, 2015. We also have $4.2 million of undrawn credit facilities at certain foreign subsidiaries as of December 27,
2015. These outstanding letters of amounts do not impact available borrowings under the credit facility.
Our obligations under the
facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of 100% of the equity interests in our material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of certain of our first-tier non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Additionally, the credit agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for a senior secured credit agreement of this nature. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on asset sales, mergers and
acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends, investments, loans, guarantees and transactions with the companys affiliates. The credit agreement contains only two financial covenants: (i) a maximum leverage ratio of total consolidated
indebtedness to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) for the trailing four consecutive quarters of 3.25 to 1.00 and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA to
consolidated interest expense for the trailing four consecutive quarters of at least 3.0 to 1.0. Interest expenses and commitment fees for the facility are determined on a sliding scale and are based upon its then current leverage ratio. Interest
expenses range from LIBOR plus 1.25% to a maximum rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% for Eurodollar rate loans. Unused commitment fees are calculated as a percentage of the entire facility and range between .20% at the low end of the range to a maximum rate
of 0.35%. At December 27, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our covenants and we expect to remain in compliance.

Note 9Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
We have future commitments to
purchase chemicals for certain wafer fabrication facilities. In the event we were to end the agreements, we would be required to pay future minimum payments of approximately $15.3 million. We do not accrue for this liability, as we expect to use
these chemicals in the ordinary course of business.
Our facilities in South Portland, Maine and West Jordan, Utah have ongoing
environmental remediation projects to respond to certain releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to the leveraged recapitalization of the company from National Semiconductor. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement with National
Semiconductor Corporation, National Semiconductor has agreed to indemnify us for the future costs of these projects. The terms of the indemnification are without time limit and without maximum amount. The costs incurred to respond to these
conditions were not material to the consolidated financial statements for any period presented. National Semiconductor Corporation was purchased by Texas Instruments Incorporated during the fourth quarter of 2011.
Pursuant to the 1999 asset agreement to purchase the power device business of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung agreed to indemnify us
for remediation costs and other liabilities related to historical contamination, up to $150.0 million. We are unable to estimate the potential amounts of future payments, if any; however, any future payments are not expected to have a material
effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations and statements of cash flows.
Litigation
From time to time, the company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We analyze potential outcomes from current
and potential litigation as loss contingencies in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Since most potential claims against the company may involve the enforcement of complex intellectual property rights or complicated damages calculations, we generally cannot
predict the eventual outcome of the pending matters, the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, or the magnitude of the eventual loss related to each pending matter.
For a limited number of matters disclosed in this note for which a loss, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no
accrued liability, is reasonably possible in future periods, we estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to estimate a range of possible loss, we review and evaluate our material litigation on an ongoing basis in
light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. These may include information learned through the discovery process, rulings on dispositive motions, settlement discussions, and other rulings by courts, arbitrators or others. If we
possess sufficient information to develop an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, that estimate is disclosed either individually or in the aggregate. Finally, for loss contingencies for which we believe the possibility of loss is remote, we
do not record a reserve or assess the range of possible losses.
29
Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from
pending matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond our control, an
adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc.
There are six outstanding proceedings with Power Integrations.
POWI 1
: On October 20, 2004, the company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, were sued by Power
Integrations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Power Integrations alleged that certain of the companys pulse width modulation (PWM) integrated circuit products infringed four Power Integrations U.S. patents, and
sought a permanent injunction preventing the company from manufacturing, selling or offering the products for sale in the U.S., or from importing the products into the U.S., as well as money damages for past infringement.
The trial in the case was divided into three phases. In the first phase of the trial that occurred in October of 2006, a jury returned a
verdict finding that thirty-three of the companys PWM products willfully infringed one or more of seven claims asserted in the four patents and assessed damages against the company. The company voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of
those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006. Subsequent phases of the trial conducted during 2007 and 2008 focused on the validity and enforceability of the patents. In December of 2008, the judge overseeing the case
reduced the jurys 2006 damages award from $34.0 million to approximately $6.1 million and ordered a new trial on the issue of willfulness. Following the new trial held in June of 2009, the court found the companys infringement to have
been willful, and in January 2011 the court awarded Power Integrations final damages in the amount of $12.2 million. The company appealed the final damages award, willfulness finding, and other issues to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit. On March 26, 2013, the court of appeals vacated almost the entire damages award, ruling that there was no basis upon which a reasonable jury could find the company liable for induced infringement. The court also vacated the earlier
judgment of willful patent infringement by the company. The full court of appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States have since denied Power Integrations request to review the appeals court ruling. Although the appeals court instructed
the lower court to conduct further proceedings to determine damages based upon approximately $500,000 to $750,000 worth of sales and imports of affected products, the company believes that damages on the basis of that level of infringing activity
would not be material. Accordingly, the company released $12.6 million from its reserves relating to this case during the first quarter of 2013.
POWI 2
: On May 23, 2008, Power Integrations filed another lawsuit against the company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and its
wholly owned subsidiary, System General Corporation (now named Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of three patents. Of the three patents asserted in that lawsuit, two were
asserted against the company and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the October 2004 lawsuit described above. In 2011, Power Integrations added a fourth patent to this case.
On October 14, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and System General Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Power
Integrations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PWM integrated circuit products infringe one or more claims of two U.S. patents owned by System General. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and an injunction
preventing the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of Power Integrations products found to infringe the asserted patents.
Both lawsuits were consolidated and heard together in a jury trial in April of 2012. On April 27, 2012, the jury found that Power
Integrations infringed one of the two U.S. patents owned by System General and upheld
30
the validity of both System General patents. In the same verdict, the jury found that the company infringed two of four U.S. patents asserted by Power Integrations and that the company had
induced its customers to infringe the asserted patents. (The court later ruled that the company infringed one other asserted Power Integrations patent that the jury found was not infringed.) The jury also upheld the validity of the asserted Power
Integrations patents. The verdict concluded the first phase of trial in this case. On June 30, 2014, the court issued an order enjoining Fairchild from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing into the United States the products
found to infringe the Power Integrations patents in the case as well as certain products that were similar to the products found to infringe. Willfulness and damages in the case will be determined in a second phase, which has yet to be scheduled and
will occur after appeals of the first phase. The company and Power Integrations have filed appeals from the first phase.
POWI 3
:
On November 4, 2009, Power Integrations filed another patent infringement lawsuit against the company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, System General Corporation (now named Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation),
in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that several of its products infringe three of Power Integrations patents. Fairchild filed counterclaims asserting that Power Integrations infringes two Fairchild
patents. A trial was held from February 10-27, 2014 on two Power Integrations patents and one Fairchild patent. On March 4, 2014, the jury returned a verdict finding that Fairchild willfully infringed both Power Integrations patents,
awarding Power Integrations $105.0 million in damages, and finding that Power Integrations did not infringe the Fairchild patent. Both parties filed various post-trial motions, which were denied by the court with the exception of Fairchilds
motion to set aside the jurys determination that it acted willfully. On September 9, 2014, the court granted the companys motion and determined that, as a matter of law, Fairchilds actions were not willful.
In addition to the ruling on willfulness, the company continued to challenge several other aspects of the verdict during post-trial review.
Specifically, the company asserted that the damages award included legal and evidentiary defects that were inconsistent with recent rulings by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On November 25, 2014, the trial court ruled that
the jury lacked sufficient evidence on which to base its damages award and, consequently, vacated the $105.0 million verdict and ordered a second trial on damages. On February 12, 2015, the court denied Power Integrations request to
enjoin the Fairchild products that were found to infringe, finding, among other things, that the evidence at trial failed to establish a causal connection between the alleged harm and the alleged infringement. The court ruled that Power Integrations
can request an injunction after the second trial on damages. The second damages trial was held in December 2015. On December 17, 2015, a jury returned a verdict awarding Power Integrations $139.8 million in damages. The company has filed a
number of post-trial motions challenging the verdict on several grounds, including several that are similar to challenges to the earlier damages verdict in the case. If the current damages award is not thrown out or significantly reduced in
post-trial proceedings, the company plans to appeal the current damages award. The company also plans to appeal the 2014 verdict finding that the asserted Power Integrations patents were both infringed and valid.
POWI 4
: On February 10, 2010, the company and System General Corporation (now named Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation) filed a
lawsuit in Suzhou, China against four Power Integrations entities and seven vendors. The lawsuit claimed Power Integrations violated certain Fairchild/System General patents. In December of 2012, the Suzhou court ruled in favor of Power Integrations
and denied the companys claims. Fairchild appealed the ruling but ultimately withdrew its appeal in the fourth quarter of 2014.
POWI 5
: On May 1, 2012, the company sued Power Integrations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit
accuses Power Integrations LinkSwitch-PH LED power conversion products of violating three of the companys patents. Power Integrations filed counterclaims of patent infringement against the company, asserting five Power Integrations
patents. Of those five patents, the court granted Fairchild summary judgment of no infringement on one, Power Integration voluntarily withdrew a second and was forced to remove a third patent during the trial. Trial in the case began on May 26,
2015. On June 5, 2015, the jury found that Power Integrations induced infringement of Fairchilds patent rights, and awarded Fairchild $2.4
31
million in damages. The same jury found that Fairchild did not infringe one of the two remaining Power Integrations patents and found that Fairchild infringed two claims of the last Power
Integrations patent, and awarded Power Integrations damages of $0.1 million.
POWI 6
: On October 21, 2015, Power Integrations
filed another complaint for patent infringement against Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The
lawsuit alleges certain products infringe two Power Integrations patents. The company is vigorously defending the lawsuit, which is in its earliest stages.
Other Legal Claims
From time to time we
are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We believe we have valid defenses with respect to matters currently pending against us and we intend to vigorously defend against those claims. For example, in December 2013, a
customer of one of our distributors filed suit against us claiming damages of $30.0 million arising out of the purchase of $20,000 of our products. We are contesting that claim vigorously. We believe there is no such ordinary-course pending
litigation that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
For matters where an estimate of the range of possible loss is possible, management currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably
possible loss, in excess of amounts accrued for outstanding matters, is $1.2 million to $15.9 million. The estimated range of reasonably possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety
of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible
are not included within this estimated range. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what we believe to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent our maximum exposure.
Note 10Stockholders Equity
Preferred Stock
Under the
companys restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 100,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock, but only in connection with the adoption of a stockholder rights plan. At
December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, no shares were issued.
Common Stock
The company has authorized 340,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.01 per share.
Treasury Stock
We account for
treasury stock acquisitions using the cost method. At December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, we held approximately 28.2 million and 22.4 million treasury shares, respectively. On May 20, 2015, the board of directors
authorized the additional repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the companys common stock. This amount is in addition to the two separate authorizations of $100.0 million disclosed in May 2014 and December 2013, respectively. The repurchase
program is currently funded using available cash. During the years ended December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, we repurchased 5.8 million shares and 10.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, under repurchase programs
for $95.7 million and $142.5 million, respectively, at an average purchase price of $16.54 per share and $14.07 per share, respectively.

We operate in multiple foreign jurisdictions. We have historically incurred losses from time to time in
jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates than that of the U.S. Losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. may cause our effective tax rate to increase. In 2015, our effective tax rate was 1858.1% compared to
378.9% for 2014. The primary factor in the increase in effective tax rate was the decrease in companys profits when compared to 2014. Further contributing to the increase in effective tax rate were the losses incurred in jurisdictions with
full valuation allowances against their deferred tax assets. With the ceasing of operations at our Malaysian facility in 2015, the sites deferred tax asset and valuation allowance attributable to its tax credits were adjusted to reflect the
revised carry forward balance as a result of the disposition of its assets. The impact of foreign exchange at several of our Asian manufacturing facilities continued to contribute to the increase in effective rate.
Consistent with prior years and in 2015, a current provision for income taxes was provided for Fairchild Semiconductor Pte. Ltd at the
concessionary holiday tax rate of 10% on qualifying income. Fairchild Semiconductor Pte. Ltd is entitled to a concessionary tax rate of 10% through 2019, at which time it will revert to Singapores enacted statutory tax rate which is currently
17%.
The tax holidays increased net income by $0.8 million, or less than $0.01 per basic and diluted common share for the year ended
December 27, 2015. The tax holidays increased net income by $0.5 million, or less than $0.01 per basic and diluted common share for the year ended December 28, 2014. The tax holidays increased net income by $0.5 million, or $0.01 per basic
and diluted common share for the year ended December 29, 2013.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), Balance Sheet
Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendment
eliminates the guidance requiring an entity to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets into a current amount and a noncurrent amount. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period and can be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods
presented. We have elected early adoption of ASU 2015-17 prospectively. Prior periods will not be restrospectively adjusted.

The deferred tax valuation allowance for the year ended December 27, 2015 and
December 28, 2014 was $170.5 million and $169.2 million, respectively.

tax credits totaled $20.8 million, for research and development credits totaled $26.6 million, for capital loss carry forwards totaled $29.0 million, and for U.S. net operating losses (NOLs) totaled $68.5 million, not including $75.4 million excess
tax deductions from shared based payments, the benefit of which would be credited to additional paid in capital. The capital loss carry forwards expire in varying amounts through 2019. The NOLs expire in 2024 through 2035. The foreign tax credits
expire in 2016 through 2025. The research and development credits expire in varying amounts through 2035. As of December 27, 2015, the company has NOL carry forwards in Korea of $50.9 million. The Korean NOLs expire in 2022 through 2025.
Our ability to utilize our U.S. net operating loss and credit carry forwards may be limited in the future if the company experiences an
ownership change, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. An ownership change occurs when the ownership percentage of 5% or more stockholders changes by more than 50% over a three year period. In August 1999, the company experienced an ownership
change as a result of its initial public offering. This ownership change did not result in a material limitation on the utilization of the loss and credit carry forwards. As of December 27, 2015, we have not undergone a second ownership change.
Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and in determining whether deferred tax assets
will be realized. When it is more likely than not that all or some portion of specific deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance must be established for the amount of the deferred tax assets that are determined not likely to be
realizable. Realization is based on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. A valuation allowance is determined, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than
not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. Such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In 2005, a full valuation allowance on net U.S. deferred tax assets was recorded and we continue to carry the valuation allowance in
2015 as our trend of evidence does not currently support a release. Until such time that some or all of the valuation allowance is reversed, future income tax expense or benefit in the U.S., excluding any tax expense generated by our indefinite life
intangibles, will be offset by adjustments to the valuation allowance to effectively eliminate any income tax expense or benefit in the U.S. Income taxes will continue to be recorded for other tax jurisdictions subject to the need for valuation
allowances in those jurisdictions.
As of December 27, 2015, our valuation allowance for U.S. deferred tax assets totaled $114.7
million, which consists of the beginning of the year allowance of $106.9 million, a 2015 charge of $7.5 million to income from operations and a charge of $0.3 million to OCI. The valuation allowance reduces the carrying value of temporary
differences generated by capital losses, capitalized research and development expenses, foreign tax credits, reserves and accruals, and NOL carry forwards, which would require sufficient future capital gains and future ordinary income in order to
realize the tax benefits. If we are ultimately able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been established, then the related portion of the valuation allowance will be released to income from
continuing operations, additional paid in capital or OCI.
In 2008, a deferred tax asset and full valuation allowance was recorded in the
amount of $24.8 million relating to our Malaysian cumulative reinvestment allowance and manufacturing incentives. In 2015, the Malaysian deferred tax asset decreased to $15.2 million. As a result of the closure of our Malaysia manufacturing
operations in 2015, a full valuation allowance of $15.2 million remains.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, a full valuation allowance was
recorded in the amount of $36.8 million against our net Korean deferred tax assets. In 2015, assessing Koreas three-year cumulative loss in conjunction with the commencement of the foreign investment zone tax holiday, Korea continues to
maintain a full valuation allowance. As of December 27, 2015, our valuation allowance for Korean deferred tax assets totaled $38.5 million.

Deferred income taxes have not been provided for the undistributed earnings of our foreign
subsidiaries that are reinvested indefinitely. Deferred income taxes have been provided for the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries that are part of the repatriation plan, which were immaterial at December 27, 2015. In addition,
certain non-U.S. earnings, which have been taxed in the U.S. but earned offshore have and will continue to be part of our repatriation plan. At December 27, 2015, the undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries approximated $325.5 million. The
amount of taxes attributable to these undistributed earnings is not practicably determinable.
Authoritative accounting guidance
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This guidance also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in the interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We adopted the current guidance on January 1, 2007. The unrecognized tax benefits at December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014 total
$59.0 million and $59.0 million respectively. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits at December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, $3.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining
unrecognized tax benefits would not impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, as we had a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred taxes. The timing of the expected cash outflow relating to the $3.4 million is not reliably determinable
at this time.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):

Our major tax jurisdictions are the U.S. and Korea. For the U.S., we have open tax years dating back to 1999
due to the carryforward of tax attributes. In Korea, we have five open tax years dating back to 2010.
As of December 27, 2015 and
December 28, 2014, we had accrued for penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions totaling $0.9 million.
On
July 27, 2015, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner related to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. The IRS has the right to appeal the U.S. Tax Court
Decision. At this time, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has not withdrawn the requirements from its regulations to include stock-based compensation. We have reviewed this case and its impact on Fairchild and concluded that no adjustment to the
consolidated financial statements is appropriate at this time due to the uncertainties with respect to the ultimate resolution of this case.
Note
12Stock-based Compensation
All stock-based awards to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in
the statement of operations based on their fair values at the date of grant.

We grant equity awards under the Fairchild Semiconductor 2007 Stock Plan. In addition, we have
occasionally granted equity awards outside our equity compensation plans when necessary.
Fairchild Semiconductor 2007 Stock Plan
.
Under this plan, officers, employees, non-employee directors, and certain consultants may be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance units (PUs), deferred stock units (DSUs) and
other stock-based awards. The plan has been approved by stockholders. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan is equal to 36,188,118 shares, plus shares available for issuance as of May 2, 2007 under the
Fairchild Semiconductor Stock Plan, and shares subject to outstanding awards under the Fairchild Semiconductor Stock Plan as of May 2, 2007 that cease for any reason to be subject to such awards. The maximum life of any option is ten years from
the date of grant for incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Actual terms for outstanding non-qualified stock options are eight years, although options may be granted under the plan with up to ten-year terms. Options granted under
the plan are exercisable at the determination of the compensation committee, generally vesting ratably over four years. PUs are contingently granted depending on the achievement of certain predetermined performance goals. DSUs, RSUs and PUs entitle
participants to receive one share of common stock for each DSU, RSU or PU awarded. For RSUs and PUs, the settlement date is the vesting date. For DSUs, the settlement date is selected by the participant at the time of the grant. Grants of PUs
generally vest under the plan over a period of three years, and DSUs and RSUs generally vest over a period of three or four years. On May 20, 2015 our stockholders approved an amendment to the plan which reduced the vesting period for equity
grants to our nonemployee directors from three years to one year.

The weighted average grant date fair value for stock options granted during the year ended December 29,
2013 was $6.33. We did not grant any stock options in fiscal year 2014. Total intrinsic value for stock options exercised (i.e. the difference between the market price at exercise and the price paid by employees to exercise the award) for 2015, 2014
and 2013, is $1.0 million, $1.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair value for DSUs granted during the years ended December 28, 2014 and
December 29, 2013 was $12.90 and $13.98, respectively. The total grant date fair value for DSUs vested during the years ended December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014, and December 29, 2013 was $0.6 million, $0.9 million and
$0.6 million, respectively. The number and weighted average remaining contractual term for DSUs vested and outstanding is 234,769 units and 1.5 years, respectively as of December 27, 2015.
Our plan documents governing DSUs contain contingent cash settlement provisions upon a change of control. Accordingly, we present previously
recorded expense associated with unvested and unsettled DSUs under the balance sheet caption Temporary equity-deferred stock units.

The weighted average grant date fair value for PUs granted during the years ended December 28, 2014 and
December 29, 2013 was $13.80 and $13.99, respectively. The total grant date fair value for PUs vested during the year ended December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 was $5.2 million, $5.5 million and $5.0
million, respectively.
For our relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance-based awards, which are based on market performance,
the compensation cost is amortized over the performance period on a straight-line basis net of forfeitures, because the awards vest only at the end of the measurement period and the probability of actual shares expected to be earned is considered in
the grant date valuation. As a result, the expense is not adjusted to reflect the actual shares earned. We granted 121,250 TSR PUs during fiscal year 2015, which are included in the above table.
Our practice is to issue shares of common stock upon exercise or settlement of options, DSUs, RSUs and PUs from previously unissued shares.
For the years ended December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014, and December 29, 2013, $1.8 million, $1.5 million, and $1.1 million respectively, was received from the exercise of stock options.

the years ended December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively. In addition, due to our valuation allowance for U.S. deferred income tax assets, no tax benefit on U.S. based stock compensation expense
was recognized in the years ended December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. No material income tax benefit was recognized by foreign tax jurisdictions for the year ended December 27,

We did not grant any TSR performance-based awards in 2014 or 2013. The fair value of our TSR performance-based awards at
the date of grant was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

Stock price
. Based on the closing stock price of our common stock as of the grant date.
Expected volatility
. We utilize an average of implied volatility and the most recent historical volatility commensurate with the
expected life assumption.
Dividend yield
. We do not pay a dividend, therefore this input is not applicable.
Risk-free interest rate
. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is
commensurate with the expected life assumption.
Expected life
. We have evaluated expected life based on history and exercise
patterns across our demographic population. We believe that this historical data is the best estimate of the expected life of a new option, and that generally all groups of our employees exhibit similar exercise behavior.

Note 13Retirement Plans
We sponsor the Fairchild Personal Savings and Retirement Plan (the Retirement Plan), a contributory savings plan which qualifies
under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Retirement Plan covers substantially all employees in the U.S. As of January 1, 2007, we provide a discretionary matching contribution equal to 100% of employee elective deferrals on the
first 3% of pay that is contributed to the Retirement Plan and 50% of the next 2% of pay contributed. We also maintain a non-qualified Benefit Restoration Plan, under which certain eligible employees who have otherwise exceeded annual IRS
limitations for elective deferrals can continue to contribute to their retirement savings. We match employee elective deferrals to the Benefit Restoration Plan on the same basis as the Retirement Plan. Total expense recognized under these plans was
$4.8 million, $5.2 million and $5.8 million for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
We also provide certain former executives with health
care benefits in accordance with their respective employment agreements. As of December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, we have recognized $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, with respect to these agreements as a liability in the
consolidated statements of financial position.
Employees in Korea and Malaysia participate in defined contribution plans. We have funded
accruals for these plans in accordance with statutory regulations in each location. Amounts recognized as expense for contributions made under the Korean plan were $7.7 million, $7.0 million and $6.5 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively and
for the Malaysian plan were $1.3 million, $2.2 million and $2.4 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Employees in the United
Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Finland, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan are also covered by a variety of defined benefit or defined contribution pension plans that are administered consistent with local statutes and practices. The
expense under each of the respective plans for 2015, 2014 and 2013 was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
We
recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of our defined post retirement plans as an asset or liability in our statement of financial position. We currently have defined benefit pension plans in Germany, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The net
funded status for our foreign defined benefit plans was $6.4 million and $8.5 million at December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively, and was recognized as a liability in the consolidated statements of financial position. We
measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of our fiscal year end.
Note 14Lease Commitments
Rental expense related to our facilities and equipment at our plants were $16.8 million, $17.9 million and $19.5 million, for 2015, 2014 and
2013, respectively.
Certain facility and land leases contain renewal provisions. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable

Note 15Restructuring, Impairments and Other Costs
During the years ended December 27, 2015, December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, we recorded restructuring, impairment
and other costs, net of releases, of $47.6 million, $49.8 million and $15.9 million, respectively. The detail of these charges is presented in the summary tables below.
2015 Operating Expense Reduction Program
In the third quarter of 2015, we announced a program to reduce operating expenses by approximately $30.0 million to $34.0 million annually.
This is a structural change to the operating expense level of the company and the anticipated savings contain no temporary measures. We recorded $12.9 million of employee separation expense in 2015, which represents the full cost of this program.
This program is substantially complete as of December 27, 2015.
Prior Year Infrastructure Realignment Programs
The 2014 Infrastructure Realignment Program consists of product line and sales organizational changes, costs associated with streamlining
operations creating greater manufacturing flexibility and having a more balanced internal versus external production mix, and other related costs mainly associated with product qualification activities. In 2014, we announced our 2014 Manufacturing
Footprint Consolidation Plan. We eliminated our internal 5-inch and significantly reduced 6-inch wafer fabrication lines and rationalized our assembly and test capacity, resulting in the closure of our manufacturing and assembly facilities in West
Jordan, Utah and Penang, Malaysia, as well as the remaining 5-inch wafer fabrication lines in Bucheon, South Korea. We ended production at these sites during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.
In addition to the amounts recorded in the summary below, we expect to incur an additional $1.0 million in qualification costs and an
additional $3.0 million in site closure costs to complete this program in fiscal year 2016.
The 2013 Infrastructure Realignment Program
includes costs to close the 8-inch line at our Salt Lake wafer fab facility and transfer the manufacturing to the 8-inch lines in Korea and Mountaintop, as well as organizational changes in our mobile product group, manufacturing support
organizations, executive management, and sales organizations.
The 2012 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs for
organizational changes in our sales organization, manufacturing sites and manufacturing support organizations, the human resources function, executive management levels, and certain product lines as well as the termination of an IT systems lease and
the final closure of a warehouse in Korea.
The 2011 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs for organizational changes in our
supply chain management group, the website technology group, the quality organization, and other administrative groups. The 2011 program also includes costs to further improve our manufacturing strategy and changes in certain product lines.
43
The 2010 Infrastructure Realignment Program includes costs to simplify and realign some
activities within one of our segments, costs for the continued refinement of our manufacturing strategy, and costs associated with centralizing our accounting functions.

Note 17Segments and Geographic Information
We changed our reportable segments effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 to reflect changes in the way we currently manage the
business. All periods presented have been revised accordingly to reflect the new reportable segments.
The Switching Power Solutions
segment (SPS) contains our low and high voltage switch operating segments, integrated power modules, as well as our automotive and cloud operating segments. This segment provides a wide range of highly efficient discrete and integrated power
management solutions across a broad range of end markets. The Analog Power and Signal Solutions segment (APSS) contains our mobile solutions, power conversion and motion tracking operating segments. This segment focuses on developing innovative
analog solutions including power management, sensor and signal path applications. The Standard Products Group (SPG) includes a broad portfolio of standard discrete, analog, logic and optoelectronic products.
In addition to the operating segments mentioned above, we also operate global operations, sales and marketing, information systems, finance
and administration groups that are led by senior vice presidents who report to the Chief Executive Officer. Also, only direct SG&A and R&D spending by the segments is included in the calculation of their operating income. All other corporate
level SG&A and R&D spending is included in the corporate category. We do not allocate income taxes or interest expense to our operating segments as the operating segments are principally evaluated on operating profit before interest and
taxes.
We do not specifically identify and allocate all assets by operating segment. It is our policy to fully allocate amortization to
our operating segments. Operating segments do not sell products to each other, and accordingly, there are no inter-segment revenues to be reported. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the company as a whole.

Note 19Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, which requires an entity to recognize
the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow
entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. This ASU permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-05, (ASU 2015-05)
IntangiblesGoodwill and
OtherInternal-Use Softwar
e (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU clarifies that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the license consistent with its accounting for other software licenses. If
the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2015. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In
July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,
Inventory
(Topic 330):
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory
. The new standard applies only to inventory for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in, first-out and the
retail inventory method, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. Inventory within the scope of this standard is required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value
is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption of
this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations and statements of cash flows.
48
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,
Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10):
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
. The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in
consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; Requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure
purposes; Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); Eliminates the requirement for public business entities to
disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in the ASU is not permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated
financial position and results of operations and statements of cash flows.
Note 20Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events and did not identify any events that required disclosure as of February 25, 2016.
