    and the repurchase of $387.4 million, or 4.5 million shares of our common stock, at an average price of $85.38
    per share under our previously announced $4.0 billion stock buyback program. Cumulatively repurchased
    $2.354 billion, or 30.4 million shares, over the last ten quarters.
  • Record quarterly dividend declared today for the June quarter of 45.2 cents per share, an increase of 18.0%
    from the year ago quarter.

  • Net sales of $7.634 billion decreased 9.5% over the prior year.
  • On a GAAP basis: gross profit of 65.4%; operating income of $2.571 billion; net income of $1.907 billion,
    adversely impacted by purchase accounting adjustments associated with our previous acquisitions and a $12.2
    million loss on debt settlement associated with our debt refinancing activities; and EPS of $3.48 per diluted

  • Paid down $447.4 million of total debt and returned $1.89 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Capital expenditures for the quarter ending June 30, 2024 are expected to be between $60 million and $70 million. Capital
expenditures for all of fiscal 2025 are expected to be about $175 million. We are selectively adding capital equipment to
maintain, grow and operate our internal manufacturing capabilities to support the expected growth of our business.
Under the GAAP revenue recognition standard, we are required to recognize revenue when control of the product changes
from us to a customer or distributor. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating demand for our products in the
end markets we serve and not on moving inventory into our distribution network. We also manage our manufacturing and
supply chain operations, including our distributor relationships, towards the goal of having our products available at the
time and location the end customer desires.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Our non-GAAP adjustments, where applicable, include the effect of share-based
    compensation, other manufacturing adjustments, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset
    amortization, severance, and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated
    with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition),
    professional services associated with certain legal matters, and losses on the settlement of debt. For the fourth quarters of
    fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the fiscal year,
    excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
    We are required to estimate the cost of certain forms of share-based compensation, including employee stock options,
    restricted stock units, and our employee stock purchase plan, and to record a commensurate expense in our income
    statement. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is
    affected by the price of our stock at the date of grant. The price of our stock is affected by market forces that are difficult to
    predict and are not within the control of management. Our other non-GAAP adjustments are either non-cash expenses,
    unusual or infrequent items, or other expenses related to transactions. Management excludes all of these items from its
    internal operating forecasts and models.
    We are using non-GAAP operating expenses in dollars, including non-GAAP research and development expenses and nonGAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other expense, net, and non-GAAP income tax rate, which
    exclude the items noted above, as applicable, to permit additional analysis of our performance.
    Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they enhance the understanding of our
    historical financial performance and comparability between periods. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose
    this non-GAAP information because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and
    other charges that many investors feel may obscure our underlying operating results. Management uses non-GAAP
    measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business and for compensation purposes. We also use our non-GAAP
    results when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Our determination of these non-GAAP measures might
    not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it should not be construed as a substitute for
    amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with using these non-GAAP measures,
    including that they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance.
    Management compensates for this by presenting information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for investors and
    providing reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP results.

    Generally, gross profit fluctuates over time, driven primarily by the mix of products sold and licensing revenue; variances in
    manufacturing yields; fixed cost absorption; wafer fab loading levels; costs of wafers from foundries; inventory reserves;
    pricing pressures in our non-proprietary product lines; and competitive and economic conditions. Operating expenses
    fluctuate over time, primarily due to net sales and profit levels.
    Diluted Common Shares Outstanding can vary for, among other things, the trading price of our common stock, the exercise
    of options or vesting of restricted stock units, the potential for incremental dilutive shares from our convertible debentures
    (additional information regarding our share count is available in the investor relations section of our website under the
    heading “Supplemental Financial Information”), and repurchases or issuances of shares of our common stock. The diluted
    common shares outstanding presented in the guidance table above assumes an average Microchip stock price in the June
    2024 quarter between $85 and $95 per share (however, we make no prediction as to what our actual share price will be for
    such period or any other period and we cannot estimate what our stock option exercise activity will be during the quarter)
