We had two customers during each of the periods from June 30, 2025 to September 29, 2025 and September 30, 2025 to June 28, 2026 and the fiscal years ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 that each represented more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. These customers, in the aggregate, accounted for 41%, 38%, 37% and 37% of our total consolidated revenue in each period from June 30, 2025 to September 29, 2025 and September 30, 2025 to June 28, 2026 and the fiscal years ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. For further discussion regarding customer concentration, please see Note 17, “Concentrations of Risk,” in our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report. The loss of any large customer could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Distribution

A portion of our products are sold to distributors. Distributors stock inventory and sell our products to their own customer base, which may include value added resellers, manufacturers who incorporate our products into their own manufactured goods and ultimate end users of our products. We also utilize third-party sales representatives who generally do not maintain a product inventory; instead, their customers place orders directly with us or through distributors.

Manufacturing

We manufacture silicon carbide substrates, silicon carbide MOSFETs and Schottky diodes and power modules. We utilize manufacturing facilities located in the United States in combination with assembly and test subcontractors throughout Asia. Manufacturing assets are managed together through one centralized organization to ensure we leverage scale in asset utilization, purchasing volumes, and overhead costs across the business. During fiscal 2025, we completed the transition of our device production capacity from 150mm to 200mm offerings including the substantial completion of the initial phase of our major expansion projects. During the period ended June 28, 2026, we closed the 150mm device fabrication facility in Durham, North Carolina and now produce all power devices in our 200mm Marcy, New York fabrication facility.

Silicon carbide substrate manufacturing occurs in our materials facility in Durham, North Carolina and involves production of a bare wafer substrate with or without epitaxy. Our front-end processes occur in manufacturing facilities called "wafer fabs". These processes involve several hundred manufacturing steps required for imprinting silicon carbide wafers with the precise circuitry required for semiconductor devices to function. Back-end processes include the assembly, test and packaging of semiconductors to make them suitable for use and sale.

Yields in our manufacturing process can vary and are dependent upon multiple factors including product complexity and performance requirements as well as the maturity of the process. In order to maximize both yield and quality, we maintain a robust process design that includes in-line process monitoring and testing.

Our substrate manufacturing facilities in Durham, North Carolina are certified to ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Our silicon carbide device fabrication facility in Marcy, New York (the Mohawk Valley Fab) is certified to LEED® Silver, ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 and is in the process of being certified for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system and focuses on the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer requirements. IATF 16949 is the highest international quality standard for the automotive industry. ISO 14001 is an internationally agreed upon standard for an environmental management system. ISO 45001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety ("OH&S") management system. It provides a framework for organizations to manage risks and improve OH&S performance.

Sources of Raw Materials

We depend on a number of suppliers for certain raw materials, components and equipment used in manufacturing our products, including certain key materials and equipment used in critical stages of our manufacturing processes. In select cases, we have purchase contracts with suppliers in place to help ensure our supply. In other cases, we purchase items pursuant to discrete purchase orders. Our suppliers are located around the world and can be subject to constraints beyond our control that may limit supply. We believe our current supply of essential materials is sufficient to meet our needs. However, shortages have occurred from time to time and could occur again.

We are focused on forecasting demand with sufficient time necessary to secure raw materials that may have extended lead times and we continue to work with suppliers to develop purchase and capacity agreements that secure supply over extended time periods, including accommodating our suppliers' need for capital investment when needed.

We believe our operations are currently not materially impacted by our ability to source raw materials, components and equipment used in manufacturing our products.

Competition

Silicon Carbide and GaN Materials

We have continued to maintain a well-established leadership position in the sale of silicon carbide wafer and silicon carbide and GaN epitaxy products. As market adoption of the technology grows with rapidly expanding power device designs, we have experienced increased competition from companies such as SICC Co., LTD., and TanKeBlue Semiconductor Co., Ltd in China. We believe our leading technology, product quality and leveraged production scale position us to reliably supply production volumes to the device manufacturers in the market.

Power Devices

Our silicon carbide power devices compete with silicon carbide power semiconductor solutions offered by companies like Infineon Technologies AG, ON Semiconductor Corporation, Rohm Co. Ltd., ST Microelectronics N.V., Robert Bosch GmbH, and Silan Microelectronics Co. Ltd., as well as an increasing number of smaller competitors. Our silicon carbide products also compete with silicon semiconductor devices offered by a variety of manufacturers. Our power products compete in the power semiconductor market on the basis of performance, reliability and overall system price.

Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights

We believe it is important to protect our investment in technology by obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights, including rights under patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright laws. We seek to protect inventions we consider significant by applying for patents in the United States and other countries when appropriate. We have also acquired, through license grants, purchases and assignments, rights to patents on inventions originally developed by others. As of June 28, 2026, we owned or were the exclusive licensee of 550 issued United States patents and approximately 921 foreign patents with various expiration dates extending up to 2051, with certain patents expiring in the near term. We do not consider our business to be materially dependent upon any one patent, and we believe our business will not be materially adversely affected by the expiration of any one patent. For proprietary technology that is not patented, we generally seek to protect the technology and related know-how and information as trade secrets by keeping confidential the information that we believe provides us with a competitive advantage. We attempt to create strong brands for our products and promote our products through trademarks that distinguish them in the market. We may license to our customers use of our trademarks in connection with the sale of our products, and we monitor for the proper and authorized use of our trademarks.

Licensing activities and lawsuits to enforce intellectual property rights, particularly patent rights, are a common aspect of the semiconductor industry, and we attempt to ensure respect for our intellectual property rights through appropriate actions, including our recently filed lawsuit against Navitas Semiconductor Corp. for patent infringement. Refer to Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies," in our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information. The breadth of our intellectual property rights and the extent to which they can be successfully enforced varies across jurisdictions. We both make and receive inquiries regarding possible patent infringements and possible violations of other intellectual property rights in the normal course of business. Depending on the circumstances, we may seek to negotiate a license or other acceptable resolution. If we are unable to achieve a resolution by agreement, we may seek to enforce our rights or defend our position through litigation. Patent litigation can be expensive and the outcome is often uncertain. We believe that the strength of our portfolio of patent rights is important in helping us resolve or avoid such disputes with other companies in our industry.

Governmental Regulation

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. These include statutory and regulatory provisions under which we are responsible for the management of hazardous materials we use and the disposition of hazardous wastes resulting from our manufacturing processes. Failure to comply with such provisions could result in fines and other liabilities to the government or third parties, injunctions requiring us to suspend or curtail operations or other remedies, and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Increasing public attention has been focused on the environmental impact of semiconductor manufacturing operations. We, along with the rest of the semiconductor industry, are subject to variable interpretations and governmental priorities concerning environmental laws and regulations.

We endorse and adhere to Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) standards for all our sites. It is our EHS goal to design and develop products safely, that realize energy efficiency, minimize environmental impacts, and have sustainable life cycles. In this manner, we are striving to continuously improve our EHS performance and reduce the overall impacts of our manufacturing processes. To further ensure that we can implement such standards, we are dedicated to:

•providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees;

•complying with regulatory and other requirements;

•using natural resources, energy, and materials efficiently;

•substituting sustainable resources in place of non-renewable resources;

•reusing or recycling materials wherever technically possible and economically reasonable;

•minimizing waste and disposing of waste safely and responsibly;

•sourcing raw material responsibly;

•implementing specific measures to prevent and minimize hazards to humans; and the environment including pollution prevention; and

•consulting with and encouraging the participation of workers and workers’ representatives, as applicable.

Our EHS management systems in our manufacturing facilities in Durham, North Carolina are certified to ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management. The benefits of implementing environmental and safety management systems include improved risk management, cost savings, meeting external stakeholder expectations, ensuring compliance with environmental and occupational safety laws, and decreasing our environmental footprint through discovering new possibilities for energy, water and waste usage reductions.

We are also subject to import-export controls, tariffs and other trade-related regulations and restrictions in countries in which we have operations or otherwise do business. These controls, tariffs, regulations, and restrictions may have a material impact on our business, including our ability to sell products and to manufacture or source components.
