Empower Semiconductor
On July 7, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the voting interests of Empower Semiconductor, Inc. (Empower), a provider of integrated voltage regulators and power management solutions, for approximately $1.5 billion. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $1.0 billion of goodwill, $0.6 billion of intangible assets, primarily technology-based, and $0.1 billion of deferred tax liabilities. The goodwill is attributable to the expected future economic benefits arising from the acquisition, including the enhancement of the Company’s power technology portfolio. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Revenue and earnings attributable to Empower since the acquisition date were immaterial to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized approximately $23.4 million of transaction-related costs, including legal, accounting and other related fees that were expensed during the third quarter of fiscal 2026. These costs are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income in Operating expenses within Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses.
The purchase accounting for the acquisition is preliminary and remains subject to adjustment as the Company completes its valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects to complete the purchase accounting within one year of the acquisition date.
