Assets Held for Sale

On June 1, 2026, we completed the sale of our Processor IP Solutions (Processor IP) business, which was part of the Design IP segment, to GlobalFoundries Inc. as part of our reallocation of resources to the highest growth opportunities in our Design IP segment. The Processor IP business was not presented as discontinued operations as the divestiture did not represent a strategic shift in operations that would have a major effect on our business and was also not material to our business.

Total cash consideration from the Processor IP divestiture is $443.3 million. We derecognized $17.9 million of net assets including goodwill of $38.0 million, and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $425.4 million, which was included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, we incurred $44.9 million divestiture-related expenses, resulting in a net pre-tax gain on sale of $380.5 million.
