Forward-Looking Statements ©2024 Analog Devices, Inc. All Rights Reserved. This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which address a variety of subjects including, for example, our statements regarding future financial performance, including expected future revenue, operating income, operating margin and other future financial results; matters relating to our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; anticipated growth and trends in our business; future compensation actions; our strategy; and other future events. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs, plans and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The following important factors and uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: economic, political, legal and regulatory uncertainty or conflicts; changes in demand for semiconductor products; manufacturing delays, product and raw materials availability and supply chain disruptions; products that may be diverted from our authorized distribution channels; changes in export classifications, import and export regulations or duties and tariffs; our development of technologies and research and development investments; our future liquidity, capital needs and capital expenditures; our ability to compete successfully in the markets in which we operate; our ability to recruit and retain key personnel; risks related to acquisitions or other strategic transactions; security breaches or other cyber incidents; adverse results in litigation matters; reputational damage; changes in our estimates of our expected tax rates based on current tax law; risks related to our indebtedness; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures related to integrating Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.; the discretion of our Board of Directors to declare dividends and our ability to pay dividends in the future; factors impacting our ability to repurchase shares; and uncertainty as to the long-term value of our common stock. For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements made by us to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures that have been adjusted in order to provide investors with information regarding our results of operations, business trends and financial goals. Reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the appendix. Management uses non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company’s operating performance from continuing operations against past periods and to budget and allocate resources in future periods. These non-GAAP measures also assist management in evaluating the Company’s core business and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures as primary performance measurements when communicating with analysts and investors regarding the Company’s earnings results and outlook and believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because it provides investors with the operating results that management uses to manage the Company and enables investors and analysts to evaluate the Company’s core business. Management also believes that free cash flow, a non-GAAP liquidity measure, is useful both internally and to investors because it provides information about the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures that is then available to repay debt obligations, make investments and fund acquisitions, and for certain other activities.

None of our CEO, CFO or other NEOs received an increase to their base salaries in FY24. Our CEO, CFO and the executive and senior vice presidents reporting to the CEO are eligible to participate in our Executive Short-Term Variable Cash Incentive Plan. None of our CEO or other NEOs received an increase to the amount of their target long-term equity incentive grant in FY24. Based on FY24 target compensation. Note: As used on this slide 5, “other NEOs” refers to the named executive officers identified in our 2024 Proxy Statement, other than our former CFO.

The performance targets in our executive short-term incentive plan are challenging and are aligned with our long-term financial model; we adjust them for meaningful strategic transitions Our business is cyclical in nature and our executive short-term incentive plan pays accordingly; our current target payout opportunity continues to be extremely challenging to achieve amid continued macro and inventory headwinds We keep performance targets consistent year-over-year in accordance with our long-term strategy and financial model, which results in higher payouts in the upcycle and lower payouts in the downcycle to protect profits during weaker periods Executive Short-Term Variable Cash Incentive Historical Payouts ©2024 Analog Devices, Inc.
