Semtech says Q2 financials ‘assuming company can continue as going concern’

In the Liquidity section of the company’s 10-Q filing, Semtech stated: “The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the issuance of the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Compliance with the Company’s leverage and interest expense coverage financial covenants is measured quarterly based upon the Company’s performance over the most recent four quarters, and compliance with the liquidity covenant is measured as of the last day of each monthly accounting period. As of July 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. In response to adverse market demand conditions, the Company has taken actions to reduce expenses to preserve cash and maintain compliance with its financial covenants. In the absence of additional actions, the Company may not maintain compliance with the financial covenants over the next twelve months from the issuance of the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which noncompliance would raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to meet the covenant requirements in the Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement and there is no certainty the Company would be able to obtain waivers or amendments with the requisite lenders party thereto in order to maintain compliance.”
