The company believes it is well positioned to benefit as new generation of AI data center processors and racks enter the market.
The company continues to optimize and right-size its manufacturing footprint to align its capacity with its long-term outlook, while focusing on generating efficiencies that result in meaningful gross margin expansion and operating cash flows. The company intends to achieve efficiencies in its operating and capital expenditures and invest in research and development initiatives to accelerate growth in high-margin products. The company continues to evaluate its employee workforce composition (both employee positions and locations) and manufacturing capacity and footprint for potential operational improvements and efficiencies. The company expects to incur additional accelerated depreciation and amortization of approximately $135 million 43 in the first half of 2026. The company intends to continue cost-saving initiatives during 2026.
The company continues to implement cost-saving initiatives to be able to align its overall cost structure, capital investments and other expenditures with its expected revenue, spending and capacity levels to help offset softening demand and increased manufacturing and operating costs. The company has taken, and continues to take actions, including but not limited to, exiting product lines that do not enhance gross margin or satisfy strategic objectives. The company made meaningful progress in aligning internal manufacturing capacity and resources to external demand.
In 2026, based on current plans, the company expects capital expenditures to be approximately 5% 44 of revenue. The company expects to continue to opportunistically repurchase its shares of common stock under its New Share Repurchase Program subject to market conditions, the price of its shares and other factors. In November 2025, the Board of Directors approved a New Share Repurchase Program under which the company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $6.0 billion 45 of the company's common stock (exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses) from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028. Through February 4, 2026, the company acquired 2.9 million 46 shares for $175.6 million 47 under the New Share Repurchase Program pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading arrangement.
During 2025, the semiconductor industry continued to experience a softening demand and uncertainty due to macroeconomic factors and the geopolitical environment. The company has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in its operating results due to macroeconomic conditions, as well as those within the semiconductor industry. The company's business is driven more by content gains within applications and secular growth drivers and not solely by macroeconomic and industry cyclicality. The company's power technologies designed for AI use may not capture market share as expected, and issues related to the responsible use of AI may adversely affect its business. The company may not be able to develop and offer the technology solutions that its AI-focused customers demand in a timely manner or effectively, which could have a materially adverse effect on its business. The imposition of or increase in tariffs, export controls and other trade restrictions as a result of international trade disputes or changes in trade policies or political conditions may adversely affect the company's sales and profitability. The global geopolitical uncertainty or escalation of geopolitical tensions involving countries where the company or its suppliers operate or any retaliatory actions from such governments could have a material adverse effect on the company's business and results of operations.
The company's manufacturing network includes multiple owned and third-party facilities, which may each produce one or more components necessary for the assembly of a single product, and an operational disruption at a single facility may have a disproportionate impact on its ability to produce many of its products. The company is also dependent upon a limited number of highly specialized third-party suppliers for required components and materials for certain of its key technologies. The company may be unable to implement certain business strategies and restructuring initiatives and the pursuit of such strategies and initiatives could materially adversely affect its business and results of operations. If the company is unable to accurately forecast demand for its products, it may purchase more or fewer parts than necessary or incur costs for canceling, postponing or expediting delivery of parts. If the company purchases or commits to purchase inventory in anticipation of customer demand that does not materialize, or such inventory is rendered obsolete by the rapid pace of technological change, or if customers reduce, delay or cancel orders, it may incur excess or obsolete inventory charges.
Risk Factors
A significant portion of the company's revenue is derived from customers in the automotive and industrial end-markets, which represented approximately 51% 48 and 28% 49 of revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025, and a downturn or lower sales in either end-market could materially adversely affect business and results of operations. The company's manufacturing efficiency is contingent upon the efficient operation of numerous interdependent processes, and any disruption in these processes could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. The company faces significant competition within each of its product lines from major global semiconductor companies, and if it is unable to compete effectively, its competitive position could be weakened. The company had $3,004.9 million 50 of outstanding principal relating to its indebtedness as of December 31, 2025, and the degree to which it is leveraged could have important consequences for its business and operations, including impacting its ability to obtain additional financing. The company may be unable to successfully make or integrate strategic acquisitions, joint ventures, collaborations or strategic investments, which could materially adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.
Management Priorities
Management's message emphasizes a focus on increasing profitable revenue through differentiated technologies to address high-growth megatrends in automotive, industrial and other markets which include AI data centers. The key strategic priorities emphasized are continuing to optimize and right-size the manufacturing footprint to align capacity with long-term outlook, focusing on generating efficiencies that result in meaningful gross margin expansion and operating cash flows, and achieving efficiencies in operating and capital expenditures while investing in research and development initiatives to accelerate growth in high-margin products. Management states that the company intends to continue cost-saving initiatives during 2026 and expects capital expenditures to be approximately 5% 51 of revenue in 2026 based on current plans.
