Amkor’s broad and strategically located manufacturing footprint is a key differentiator, enabling us to deliver flexible, resilient and cost-effective solutions to customers worldwide. With facilities located in key manufacturing regions in Asia and Europe, we provide customers with multiple options to mitigate risk, diversify supply chains and support regionalization initiatives. As a U.S. headquartered OSAT, we are expanding our manufacturing footprint with the construction of a new facility in Arizona. Construction began in the second half of 2025, and we believe that this investment will strengthen our ability to serve customers seeking to regionalize their supply chains and will enhance our participation in U.S. semiconductor initiatives. In addition, we continue to scale production in our Vietnam facility, which opened in 2024, further increasing our capacity and operational flexibility in Asia. Our scale and geographic diversity allow us to qualify production at multiple sites, optimize asset utilization and absorb large orders with quick turnaround times. Amkor has built long-standing relationships with most of the world’s leading semiconductor companies over the last five decades. Our operational excellence, high quality, reliability and predictability have been key to attracting and retaining customers. Our collaborative approach enables us to work closely with customers and suppliers to co-develop proprietary process technologies, accelerate time-to-market, improve quality and lower costs. We work closely with lead customers to deliver advanced packaging solutions tailored to evolving industry needs. High performance computing supporting artificial intelligence and increasing demand for improved networking speed and storage within data centers, cloud computing, PCs and laptops are driving increasing demand for semiconductors and advanced packaging in the computing end market. Increasing semiconductor content in automobiles is driving demand for advanced packaging to enable safety features such as advanced driver assistance systems (“ADAS”), in-car computing, radar and digital cockpit features such as infotainment displays and telematics. Increasing battery voltage, higher voltage power converters, onboard chargers, automotive inverter components and microcontrollers also require innovative power packaging solutions. Hearables, watches and augmented and virtual reality devices integrate multiple functions, such as processors, sensors and connectivity devices, into small form factors, which requires innovation in advanced packaging. We have a strong position across multiple device functionalities within premium and high-tier smartphones.

The trend to greater functionality drives miniaturization and innovation enabled by advanced packaging. As a supplier in the semiconductor industry, our business is cyclical and impacted by broad economic factors. Historical trends indicate there has been a strong correlation between worldwide gross domestic product levels, consumer spending -22- Table of Contents and semiconductor industry cycles. The semiconductor industry has experienced significant and sometimes prolonged cyclical upturns and downturns in the past. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any correction, economic slowdown, recession or subsequent economic recovery. We operate in a capital-intensive industry. Servicing our current and future customers requires that we incur significant operating expenses and continue to make significant capital expenditures, which are generally made in advance of expected revenues and without firm customer commitments. We fund our operations, including capital expenditures and other investments and servicing principal and interest obligations with respect to our debt, from cash flows from our operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under available debt facilities and/or proceeds from any additional debt or equity financing. Our liquidity is affected by, among other factors, volatility in the global economy and credit markets, the performance of our business, our capital expenditures and other investment levels, other uses of our cash, including any payments of dividends and purchases of stock under any stock repurchase program, any acquisitions or investments in joint ventures and any decisions we might make to either repay debt and other long-term obligations out of our operating cash flows or refinance debt at or prior to maturity with the proceeds of debt or equity financings. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1,121.2 million and $727.3 million, respectively. Our results of operations and cash flows have historically fluctuated significantly from quarter to quarter due to many factors, including the seasonality of our business, the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q. We continue to monitor the recent changes in global trade policy, including tariffs and related trade actions announced by the U.S. and other countries. The degree to which such tariffs and other related actions impact our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are uncertain. We will continue to make prudent investments, and we will closely manage capacity expansion and control costs in response to any changes in market conditions. Financial Summary Our net sales increased $363.1 million, or 27.5%, to $1,684.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1,321.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to growth across all end markets. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased to 14.2% compared to 11.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher factory utilization driven by the increase in net sales, partially offset by an increase in the proportion of products sold with higher material content and increased overhead and employee compensation costs. Operating income margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased to 6.0% compared to 2.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the increase in our gross margin discussed above. Our capital expenditures totaled $224.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $79.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our spending was primarily focused on investments in advanced packaging and test equipment and the Arizona Facility. Net cash provided by operating activities was $145.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to higher operating profits and changes in working capital. -23- Table of Contents Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain operating data as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Net sales 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of sales: Materials 53.5 % 52.4 % Labor 10.7 % 12.0 % Depreciation 9.3 % 10.6 % Other manufacturing costs 12.3 % 13.1 % Gross margin 14.2 % 11.9 % Selling, general and administrative 5.8 % 6.1 % Research and development 2.5 % 3.5 % Operating income 6.0 % 2.4 % Net income attributable to Amkor 4.9 % 1.6 % Net Sales For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change (In thousands, except percentages) Net sales $ 1,684,701 $ 1,321,575 $ 363,126 27.5 % The increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to growth across all end markets. The communications and automotive and industrial end markets grew 42% and 28%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025, primarily driven by increased supported content in premium tier smartphones and growth in ADAS and industrial applications, respectively. The computing and consumer end markets grew 19% and 4%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025, primarily driven by strength in datacenter and traditional consumer products, respectively. Gross Profit and Gross Margin For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change (In thousands, except percentages) Gross profit $ 239,032 $ 157,583 $ 81,449 Gross margin 14.2 % 11.9 % 2.3 % Our cost of sales consists principally of materials, labor, depreciation and manufacturing overhead. Since a substantial portion of the costs at our factories is fixed, there tends to be a strong relationship between our revenue levels and gross margin. Accordingly, relatively modest increases or decreases in revenue can have a significant effect on margin and on labor and other manufacturing costs as a percentage of revenue, depending on product mix, utilization, foreign currency exchange rate movements and seasonality. We have expanded our business in advanced packaging, which tends to have higher material costs than our other products. As we continue to increase production of these higher material cost products, there could be an impact on our profitability, depending on overall utilization. Gross profit and gross margin increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher factory utilization driven by the increase in net sales, p [Excerpt truncated for page length; source filing is linked above.]

The increase was primarily due to higher sales across all end markets. Gross margin decreased to 14.0% in 2025 compared to 14.8% in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to increased overhead and employee compensation costs, partially offset by higher factory utilization driven by the increase in net sales and a gain recognized on the sale of certain machinery and equipment. Gross margin for 2025 was also constrained by the ramp up of production at the Vietnam Facility, which is in the early stages of high-volume manufacturing. Operating income margin increased to 7.0% in 2025 from 6.9% in 2024. The increase in our operating income margin was primarily due to the net amount recognized for a cash receipt subject to bankruptcy proceedings related to our Nanium acquisition in May 2017 (“Nanium Insolvency Receipt”) and the incremental costs incurred in 2024 during start-up at the Vietnam Facility, partially offset by the decrease in our gross margin discussed above. In 2025, our capital expenditures totaled $904.6 million, or 13.5% of net sales, compared to $743.8 million, or 11.8% of net sales in 2024. Our spending was primarily focused on investments in advanced packaging and test equipment and the Arizona Facility. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,095.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,088.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to changes in contract liabilities due to customer advance payments and higher operating profits, offset by changes in working capital. In November 2025, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.08352 per share, a 1% increase from the rate set in November 2024. In 2025, we paid total cash dividends of $81.9 million. 38 Table of Contents Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain operating data as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated: For the Year Ended December 31 2025 2024 2023 Net sales 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of sales: Materials 55.2 % 55.1 % 55.1 % Labor 10.4 % 9.9 % 9.9 % Depreciation 8.7 % 8.5 % 8.9 % Other manufacturing costs 11.7 % 11.7 % 11.6 % Gross margin 14.0 % 14.8 % 14.5 % Selling, general and administrative 4.5 % 5.3 % 4.5 % Research and development 2.5 % 2.6 % 2.7 % Operating income 7.0 % 6.9 % 7.2 % Net income attributable to Amkor 5.6 % 5.6 % 5.5 % Net Sales Change 2025 2024 2023 2025 over 2024 2024 over 2023 (In thousands, except percentages) Net sales $ 6,707,981 $ 6,317,692 $ 6,503,065 $ 390,289 6.2 % $ (185,373) (2.9) % The $390.3 million increase in net sales in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to higher sales across all end markets. The computing end market increased 16% in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily driven by strength in AI related PC devices and networking infrastructure. The automotive and industrial end market increased 8% in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to strong advanced content growth for ADAS applications. The consumer and communications end markets grew 9% and 1%, respectively, in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by strong demand for IoT wearables and premium tier smartphones. Gross Profit and Gross Margin Change 2025 2024 2023 2025 over 2024 2024 over 2023 (In thousands, except percentages) Gross profit $ 938,599 $ 933,212 $ 943,153 $ 5,387 $ (9,941) Gross margin 14.0 % 14.8 % 14.5 % (0.8) % 0.3 % Our cost of sales consists principally of materials, labor, depreciation and manufacturing overhead. Since a substantial portion of the costs at our factories is fixed, there tends to be a strong relationship between our revenue levels and gross margin. Accordingly, relatively modest increases or decreases in revenue can have a significant effect on margin and on labor and other manufacturing costs as a percentage of revenue, depending on product mix, utilization, foreign currency exchange rate movements and seasonality. We have expanded our business in advanced packaging, which tends to have higher material costs than our other products. As we continue to increase production of these higher material cost products, there could be an impact on our profitability, depending on overall utilization. Gross margin decreased for 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to increased overhead and employee compensation costs, partially offset by higher factory utilization driven by the increase in net sales and a gain recognized on the sale of certain machinery and equipment. Gross profit and gross margin for 2025 were also constrained by the ramp up of production at the Vietnam Facility, which is in the early stages of high-volume manufacturing. For additional 39 Table of Contents information regarding the sale of certain machinery and equipment, please refer to Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Selling, General and Administrative Change 2025 2024 2023 2025 over 2024 2024 over 2023 (In thousands, except percentages) Selling, general and administrative $ 304,471 $ 331,806 $ 295,393 $ (27,335) (8.2) % $ 36,413 12.3 % Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the net amount recognized from the Nanium Insolvency Receipt in 2025 and the incremental costs incurred in 2024 during start-up at the Vietnam Facility, partially offset by increased employee compensation costs, the recovery of bad debt expense in 2024 and higher professional fees and software maintenance costs. The net amount recognized from the Nanium Insolvency Receipt was $32.4 million. The incremental costs incurred during start-up at the Vietnam Facility were approximately $16 million in 2024. For additional information regarding the Nanium Insolvency Receipt, please refer to Note 17 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Research and Development Change 2025 2024 2023 2025 over 2024 2024 over 2023 (In thousands, except percentages) Research and development $ 166,743 $ 162,951 $ 177,473 $ 3,792 2.3 % $ (14,522) (8.2) % Research and development activities are focused on developing new packaging and test services and improving the efficiency and capabilities of our existing production processes. The costs related to our technology and product development projects are included in research and development expense until the project moves into production. Once production begins, the costs relating to production become part of the cost of sales, including ongoing depreciation for the equipment previously held for research and development activities. Research and development expenses increased in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to development projects in new advanced and mainstream packaging technologies, partially offset by projects moving into production. Other Income and Expense Change 2025 2024 2023 2025 over 2024 2024 over 2023 (In thousands, except percentages) Interest expense $ 75,444 $ 64,945 $ 59,000 $ 10,499 16.2 % $ 5,945 10.1 % Interest income (62,397) (65,541) (48,458) 3,144 (4.8) % (17,083) 35.3 % Foreign currency (gain) loss, net 10,836 8,856 18,361 1,980 22.4 % (9,505) (51.8) % Loss on debt retirement 1,787 — — 1,787 100 % — — % Other (2,904) (821) (2,457) (2,083) 100% 1,636 (66.6) % Total other expense, net $ 22,766 $ 7,439 $ 26,446 $ 15,327 100% $ (19,007) (71.9) % Interest expense increased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in our average outstanding debt related to the new issuances in 2025, which were used in part to redeem outstanding amounts under existing debt. For additional information regarding our debt activities, please refer to Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Interest income decreased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to lower interest rates, partially offset by increases in our cash and cash equivalent and available-for-sale debt investment balances. 40 Table of Contents Income Tax Expense Change 2025 2024 2023 2025 over 2024 2024 over 2023 (In thousands, except percentages) Income tax expense $ 68,503 $ 75,481 $ 81,710 $ (6,978) $ (6,229) Effective tax rate 15.4 % 17.5 % 18.4 % Income tax expense, which includes foreign withholding taxes and minimum taxes, reflects the applicable tax rates in effect in the various countries where our income is earned and is subject to volatility depending on the relative mix of earnings in each location. The effective tax rate is below the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to lower tax rates applicable to our operations in some foreign jurisdictions where we earn income and discrete tax benefits recognized in 2025. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, our subsidiaries in Korea, Singapore and Vietnam operated under various conditional reduced tax rates. As these conditional reduced tax rates expire, income earned in these jurisdictions will be subject to higher statutory income tax rates, which may cause our effective tax rate to increase. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information about our income tax expense. Liquidity We assess our liquidity based on our current expectations regarding sales and operating expenses, capital spending, dividend payments, stock and debt repurchases, debt service requirements, lease obligations and other funding needs. Based on this assessment, we believe that our cash flow from operating activities, together with existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and availability under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, dividend payments, debt service, debt repurchases and other financial requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our liquidity is affected by, among other factors, volatility in the global economy and credit markets, the performance of our business, our capital expenditure levels, other uses of our cash including any dividends and purchases of stock or debt under any repurchase program, any acquisitions, joint ventures or other investments and our ability to either repay debt out of operating cash flow or refinance it at or prior to maturity with the proceeds from debt or equity offerings. There can be no assurance that we will generate the necessary net income or operating cash flows, or be able to borrow sufficient funds, to meet the funding needs of our business beyond the next 12 months due to a variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and other factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K. Our primary source of cash and the source of funds for our operations are cash flows from operations, current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, borrowings under available credit facilities and proceeds from any additional debt or equity financings. Please refer to Note 6 and Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information on our investments and borrowings, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1,991.4 million. Included in our cash and short-term investments balances as of December 31, 2025, is $1,503.6 million held offshore by our foreign subsidiaries. We have the ability to access cash held offshore by our foreign subsidiaries primarily through the repayment of intercompany debt obligations. If we were to distribute this offshore cash to the United States as dividends from our foreign subsidiaries, the dividends generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, but the distributions may be subject to foreign withholding and state income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we estimate that repatriation of this foreign cash and short-term investments would generate withholding taxes and state income taxes of approximately $43 million. 41 Table of Contents For certain accounts receivable, we use non-recourse factoring arrangements with third party financial institutions to manage our working capital and cash flows. Under these arrangements, we sell receivables to a financial institution for cash at a discount to the face amount. Available capacity under these arrangements is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold, the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables and the limits provided by the financial institutions. These factoring arrangements can be reduced or eliminated at any time due to market conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of customers. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we sold receivables totaling $154.4 million and $158.6 million, net of discounts and fees of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. We operate in a capital-intensive industry. Servicing our current and future customers may require that we incur significant operating expenses and make significant investments in equipment and facilities, which are generally made in advance of the related revenues and without firm customer commitments. In December 2024, we signed a Direct Funding Agreement with the Commerce Department for the award of up to $407 million in government incentives pursuant to the CHIPS Act, and no funds have been received to date. The award agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that relate to compliance with requirements, including construction milestones, and also includes certain events of default and related rights and remedies, including clawbacks. In addition, we are eligible to receive an investment tax credit on qualified investments in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing under the CHIPS Act. In July 2025, the enactment of OBBBA increased the investment tax credit rate from 25% to 35% for qualified property placed in service after 2025. For additional information, please refer to Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. In May 2025, we entered into a $1.0 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2025 Revolving Credit Facility”) that replaced an existing revolving credit facility. The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility includes an uncommitted optional accordion of up to $200.0 million, which may be incurred in the form of revolving commitment increases or term loans. In June 2025, we amended the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility agreement and created a new tranche of term loans (the “Term A Loans”), which are secured and guaranteed on a pari passu basis to the revolver loans under the existing agreement. The Term A Loans have an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million. In July 2025, a portion of the proceeds were used to redeem $125.0 million of our 6.625% Senior Notes due September 2027 (“2027 Notes”) and repay the remaining $98.0 million of term loans at Amkor Assembly & Test (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“AATS Loans”). The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and Term A Loans will mature in May 2030. As of December 31, 2025, we had availability of $1.0 billion under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2025, our foreign subsidiaries also had $58.6 million available to be borrowed under term loan credit facilities. For additional information regarding the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility, please refer to Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. In September 2025, we issued $500.0 million of 5.875% Senior Notes due October 2033 (the “2033 Notes”). The proceeds were used for the redemption of the outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2027 Notes and general corporate purposes. For additional information regarding the 2033 Notes, please refer to Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2025, we had debt of $1,445.2 million, with $162.4 million payable within 12 months. As of December 31, 2025, the interest payment obligations, based on stated coupon rates for fixed rate debt and interest rates applicable at December 31, 2025 for variable rate debt, were $366.0 million during the remaining term of the debt. Interest payment obligations payable within 12 months is $65.7 million. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2025, and we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants for at least the next 12 months. For additional information regarding our debt arrangements, please refer to Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Certain of our debt agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants including, among others, covenants to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, which restrict our ability to pay dividends and could restrict our operations. These restrictions do not currently have a material impact on our ability to make dividend payments or stock repurchases. The debt of Amkor Technology, Inc. is structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. From time to time, Amkor Technology, Inc., Amkor Technology Singapore Holding Pte. Ltd. (“ATSH”) and Guardian Assets, Inc. (“Guardian”) guarantee certain debt of our subsidiaries. 42 Table of Contents In order to reduce our debt and future cash interest payments, we may from time to time repurchase or redeem our outstanding senior notes for cash or exchange shares of our common stock for our outstanding senior notes. Any such transaction may be made in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and would be subject to the terms of our indentures and other debt agreements, market conditions and other factors. We lease certain machinery and equipment, office space and manufacturing facilities. As of December 31, 2025, our total remaining operating lease obligations and finance lease obligations were $82.9 million and $170.8 million, respectively, with $26.3 million and $51.8 million payable within 12 months, respectively. The lease obligations represent our future minimum lease payments including interest payments. For additional information regarding our leases, please refer to Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We had off-balance sheet purchase obligations for capital expenditures, long-term supply contracts and other contractual commitments. As of December 31, 2025, the purchase obligations were $1,152.4 million, with $1,084.8 million payable within 12 months. We enter into customer advance payment agreements from time to time, some of which require standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2025, we expect to receive approximately $300 million of advance payments over a two-year period, all of which will require standby letters of credit upon receipt. For additional information regarding our customer advance payments, please refer to Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Capital Returns In November 2022, we announced our intention to return 40 percent to 50 percent of cumulative free cash flow generated over time, beginning 2022. This return may be in the form of dividends and stock repurchases, subject to a variety of factors, including strategic investments, other capital allocation priorities and Board of Directors’ approval. In 2025, we paid total quarterly cash dividends of $81.9 million, and we currently anticipate that we will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. However, the payment, amount and timing of future dividends remain within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, debt restrictions and other factors. Capital Resources We make significant capital expenditures in order to service the demand of our customers. In 2025, our capital expenditures totaled $904.6 million or approximately 13.5% of net sales, which are primarily focused on investments in advanced packaging and test equipment and the Arizona Facility. We expect that our 2026 capital expenditures will be approximately $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion. The increase from 2025 is primarily due to the construction of the Arizona Facility. Ultimately, the amount of our 2026 capital expenditures will depend on several factors including, among others, the timing and implementation of any capital projects under review, including the progress of construction of the Arizona Facility, the performance of our business, economic and market conditions, the cash needs and investment opportunities for the business, the need for additional capacity to service anticipated customer demand, equipment lead times and the availability of cash flows from operations or financing. The primary sources of funds for our capital expenditures are cash flows from operations, current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, borrowings under available credit facilities and proceeds from any additional debt or equity financings. Please refer to Note 6 and Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information on our investments and borrowings, respectively. In addition, we are subject to risks associated with our capital expenditures, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K under the caption “We make substantial investments in equipment and facilities to support the demand of our customers, which may materially and adversely affect our business if the demand of our customers does not develop as we expect or is adversely affected.” 43 Table of Contents Cash Flows Net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for each of the three years ended December 31, 2025 was as follows: For the Year Ended December 31 2025 2024 2023 (In thousands) Operating activities $ 1,095,606 $ 1,088,868 $ 1,270,020 Investing activities (885,044) (800,324) (951,910) Financing activities 98,700 (260,432) (149,207) Operating activities: Our cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $6.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to changes in contract liabilities due to customer advance payments and higher operating profits, offset by changes in working capital. Investing activities: Our cash flow used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $84.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to higher payments for property, plant and equipment and higher net payments for short-term investments, partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and lower net payments for foreign exchange forward contracts. Payments for property, plant and equipment can fluctuate based on the timing of purchase, receipt and acceptance of equipment. Financing activities: The changes in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily due to net debt borrowings in 2025 and the payment of a special cash dividend in 2024, partially offset by increased payments of finance lease obligations. We provide the following supplemental data to assist our investors and analysts in understanding our liquidity and capital resources. We define “free cash flow” as net cash provided by operating activities less payments for property, plant and equipment, plus proceeds from the sale of, insurance recovery for and grants for property, plant and equipment, if applicable. Free cash flow is not defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe free cash flow to be relevant and useful information to our investors because it provides them with additional information in assessing our liquidity, capital resources and financial operating results. Our management uses free cash flow in evaluating our liquidity, our ability to service debt, our ability to fund capital expenditures and our ability to pay dividends and the amount of dividends to be paid. However, free cash flow has certain limitations, including that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other, non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service, are not deducted from the measure. The amount of mandatory versus discretionary expenditures can vary significantly between periods. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of liquidity or financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as net cash provided by operating activities. Furthermore, our definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For the Year Ended December 31 2025 2024 2023 (In thousands) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 1,095,606 $ 1,088,868 $ 1,270,020 Payments for property, plant and equipment (904,614) (743,796) (749,467) Proceeds from sale of and grants for property, plant and equipment 116,881 14,203 13,032 Free cash flow $ 307,873 $ 359,275 $ 533,585 Contingencies, Indemnifications and Guarantees Please refer to Note 17 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of contingencies related to litigation and other legal matters. 44 Table of Contents Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. A summary of our significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements appears in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Our preparation of this Form 10-K requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates, including the impact of any deterioration in the global business and economic environment. We believe the following critical accounting estimates and policies, which have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue, net of sales, use, value-added and other similar taxes, as a performance obligation is satisfied in an amount reflecting the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. We apply a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of our revenue is recognized as services are rendered. Our packaging and test services are our performance obligations to our customers. Our packaging services include wafer bump, probe and assembly. We provide packaging and test services to our customers either individually or as part of a combined offering. In a combined offering, we account for the individual services separately if they are determined to be distinct. We determine a service to be distinct if it is separately identifiable from other services in the combined offering and if a customer can benefit from the unique service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration, including variable consideration, is allocated between the distinct services in a combined offering based upon the stand-alone selling prices of the individual services. Our services involve a high degree of specialization which are unique based on the design and purpose of the customer’s wafers. Accordingly, our negotiated pricing reflects the customized nature of our services and represents a customer-specific stand-alone selling price. We recognize revenue as services are rendered, which generally occurs over the course of two to three weeks. Services are generally billed at completion of each individual packaging or test service or in some instances at the completion of all services in a combined offering. We recognize revenue over time as services are rendered because our services create or enhance the customer’s wafer. We utilize an input method (cost incurred plus estimated margin) to determine the amount of revenue to recognize for in-process, but incomplete, customer orders at a reporting date. During the period of providing our services, we generally do not control or take ownership of customers’ wafers, nor do we include the cost of the wafer in our cost calculations. We believe that a cost-based input method is the most appropriate manner to measure how we satisfy our performance obligations to customers because the effort and costs incurred to package and/or test customer wafers are not linear over the duration of these services. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as a cost to fulfill our performance obligations to customers. Accordingly, we record customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales, and the costs incurred for shipping and handling are then charged to cost of sales. Income Taxes. We operate in and file income tax returns in various U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions which are subject to examination by tax authorities. The tax returns for years where the statute of limitations remains open in all jurisdictions in which we do business are subject to change upon examination. We believe that we have estimated and provided adequate accruals for potential additional taxes and related interest expense that may ultimately result from such examinations. We believe that any additional taxes or related interest over the amounts accrued will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, resolution of these matters involves uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that the outcomes will be favorable. In addition, changes in the mix of 45 Table of Contents income from our foreign subsidiaries, expiration of conditional reduced tax rates or changes in tax laws or regulations could result in increased tax expense and effective tax rates in the future. Additionally, we monitor on an ongoing basis our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets and whether there is a need for a related valuation allowance. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets in the jurisdictions from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. With the exception of a certain foreign jurisdiction and select U.S. and foreign carryforwards, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income to allow us to realize these deferred tax assets. However, in the event taxable income falls short of current expectations, we may need to establish a valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets. We have valuation allowances on certain U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards expected to expire unused and on select deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. Such valuation allowances are released as the related tax benefits are realized or when sufficient evidence exists to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Valuation of Inventory. We order raw materials based on customers’ forecasted demand. If our customers change their forecasted requirements and we are unable to cancel our raw materials order, or if our vendors require that we order a minimum quantity that exceeds the current forecasted demand, we will experience a build-up in raw material inventory. We will either seek to recover the cost of the materials from our customers or utilize the inventory in production. However, we may not be successful in recovering the cost from our customers or be able to use the inventory in production and, accordingly, if we believe that it is probable that we will not be able to recover such costs, we reduce the carrying value of our inventory. Additionally, we reduce the carrying value of our inventories by the cost of inventory we estimate is excess and obsolete based on the age of our inventories. When a determination is made that the inventory will not be utilized in production or is not saleable, it is written off. The forecast of demand and the evaluation of inventory recoverability require estimates and judgment. Although we make an effort to ensure forecasted demand and estimates of inventory are accurate, any unanticipated changes could have a material effect on our financial condition and result of operations. Inventories consist of raw materials and purchased components and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is principally determined by standard cost or the weighted moving average method, both of which approximate actual cost. For inventory valued using the standard cost method, we review and set our standard costs as needed, but at a minimum on a quarterly basis. Valuation of Long-lived Assets. We review long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: •significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; •significant changes in the manner of our use of the asset; •significant negative industry or economic trends; and •our market capitalization relative to net book value. Recoverability of a long-lived asset group to be held and used in operations is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less the costs of disposal.
