Balance sheet — capital structure as of 2025-12-31

As of: 2026-04-29 (data through FY2025 20-F filed 2026-02-27)

Reference: Every line item reconciles to FY2025 20-F Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (acc. 0001709048-26-000022). The next interim balance-sheet update will be the Q1 2026 6-K, expected May 2026.

1. Cash + marketable securities — $4.0B at FY25 YE (down from $4.2B FY24)

Line item2025-12-31 ($M)2024-12-31 ($M)
Cash and cash equivalents1,8002,200−400
Marketable securities (current)2,2002,000+200
Marketable securities (non-current)939839+100
Total liquid assets~4.94B~5.04B−100
Restricted cash + other (in non-current)included aboveincluded above

MD&A statement (verbatim): “As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balances of $4.0 billion included $1.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $2.2 billion of marketable securities. As of December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $4.2 billion included $2.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $2.0 billion of marketable securities.” (FY25 20-F, MD&A — Liquidity and Capital Resources)

Note. The MD&A “cash + marketable securities” of $4.0B refers to the current-classification subset. Non-current marketable securities of $939M (FY25) / $839M (FY24) on the balance sheet are excluded from the MD&A figure but are still company-controlled liquid assets. Total liquid pool is therefore closer to ~$4.94B end-FY25.

Net decrease in cash and equivalents FY25: $(383)M vs. $(195)M FY24 — driven by:

  • $(722)M capex
  • $(682)M acquisition cash outflow (5 deals)
  • Partial offset: $148M government grants received, $170M property/tool sale proceeds

2. Debt stack — $1.2B total outstanding (down from $1.8B FY24)

MD&A statement (verbatim): “As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, we had an undrawn revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion. In addition to our available revolvers, we had $1.2 billion and $1.8 billion of debt outstanding as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which was comprised of multiple term loans and other debt facilities in various currencies.”

Sources: FY25 20-F MD&A “summary of our term loan facilities, other debt facilities” table; FY25 20-F Note 17 (Long-Term Debt — schedule incomplete in extracted text; full reconciliation requires direct review).

Revolving credit facility: $1.0B undrawn at both year-ends; $1.011B (FY25) / $1.012B (FY24) “Revolvers and letters of credit” capacity per MD&A. Revolver counterparty syndicate (per F-3ASR exhibits): Bank of America, DBS Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse Cayman, HSBC, First Abu Dhabi Bank.

Significant FY25 deleveraging event. The USD Term Loan A ($586M outstanding FY24) was paid down in FY25, reducing total debt by approximately $600M and lowering interest expense from $145M (FY24) to $93M (FY25) — a $52M favorable swing. “The decrease in interest expense was due to lower debt balances as a result of prepayment of the term loan in 2025” (FY25 20-F MD&A — Interest Expense).

Capital-structure read: GFS at $1.2B total debt vs. $4.0B+ liquid assets is net cash by ~$2.8B at FY25 YE. With market cap of $33.1B at the 2026-04-28 close, net cash represents ~8.5% of market cap. This is a clean, deleveraging balance sheet for an asset-heavy foundry — atypical of capex-intensive peers like SMIC or UMC at similar revenue scale.

3. Property, plant and equipment — $7.2B carrying value

Line item2025-12-31 ($M)2024-12-31 ($M)
Property, plant and equipment, net7,2237,762
Right-of-use assets (leases)569498
Goodwill and intangible assets, net1,368660
Marketable securities (non-current)939839

Receivables, prepayments and other (non-current)498351
Other non-current financial assets10885
Total non-current assets10,93610,383
Total current assets6,2056,416
Total assets17,14116,799

PP&E declined $539M YoY from $7,762M to $7,223M, reflecting:

  • Depreciation runs at approximately $1.4B/year ⚠ (estimated from cash-flow non-cash add-backs; precise figure requires Note 14)
  • $722M capex additions
  • Net depreciation > new capex = capex-cycle in trough phase
  • The $935M FY24 impairment charge already partially amortized into the FY25 base

Goodwill and intangibles MORE THAN DOUBLED to $1,368M (from $660M) — reflecting the 5 acquisitions closed in FY25:

  • Silicon Manufacturing Partners (SMP) — Jan 2, 2025
  • MIPS Holding, Inc. — Aug 13, 2025
  • Advanced Micro Foundry (AMF) Singapore — Nov 14, 2025
  • InfiniLink Inc. — Nov 14, 2025
  • Tagore Technology — date TBD per subsidiaries list (likely H2 2025)

Total acquisition cash outflow per FY25 cash-flow statement: $682M. Implied combined acquisition consideration including stock/contingent earnouts is likely higher. Per FY25 20-F internal-controls disclosure: “AMF constituted approximately 1% of total assets as of December 31, 2025 and less than 1% of total revenues.”

Read on goodwill increase. $708M of goodwill/intangibles added in FY25 against $682M acquisition cash = ~$26M residual intangibles or step-up; consistent with valued targets being primarily IP / customer-list intensive (MIPS, Tagore). Goodwill impairment risk is moderate but should be monitored at the FY26 testing date — particularly given the pre-acquisition margin profile of MIPS (early-cycle IP licensing) and AMF (200mm legacy Singapore foundry).

4. Working capital and current liabilities

Current asset2025-12-31 ($M)2024-12-31 ($M)
Total current assets6,2056,416
(Includes cash + marketable + receivables + inventories)
Current liability2025-12-31 ($M)2024-12-31 ($M)
Trade payables and other current liabilities2,1542,109
Current portion of long-term debt86753
Current portion of lease obligations6990
Current portion of deferred income from gov’t grants5992
Total current liabilities (partial)n/d (incomplete extract)n/d

The current-portion-of-long-term-debt drop from $753M (FY24) to $86M (FY25) corresponds to the Term Loan A paydown. This eliminates a major near-term refinancing wall. The remaining $86M current debt is rolling EDB/EUR tranches.

Customer A (~16.4% of wafer revenue, likely AMD) accounts receivable balance:

  • 2025-12-31: $343M (FY25 20-F Note 32)
  • 2024-12-31: $176M

Receivable from Customer A nearly doubled YoY — implying either delayed collection or accelerating Customer A revenue ramp into Q4’25. Worth monitoring DSO trend in Q1’26 6-K.

5. Government grants — accounting and balance-sheet treatment

GFS treats CHIPS Act Direct Funding and State of New York payments as deferred income, recognized into the P&L as the supported assets are placed in service (offsetting depreciation).

Government-grant-related balance items (per FY25 20-F):

  • Current portion of deferred income from grants: $59M (FY25) / $92M (FY24)
  • Non-current deferred income from grants: not explicitly extracted — should be ~$300M+ given the $1.5B commitment

FY25 inflows from government grants in cash flow: $148M (vs. $10M FY24, $138M FY23)

Per FY25 20-F MD&A: “In 2025, we received funding for the achievement of the first two milestones for the expansion of the Fab 8 facility.” The CHIPS Direct Funding Agreement contains “detailed milestones we must achieve in order to receive funds.” This is lumpy revenue/income recognition, not a steady stream — and depends on physical-construction and capability milestones at Fab 8 / Burlington.

6. Equity structure

Ordinary shares outstanding (per Item 7 of FY25 20-F):

  • Total ordinary shares outstanding: 555,756,300 (implied from Mubadala 81.0% = 450,387,613)
  • FMR LLC (Fidelity, via Schedule 13G/A No. 3 filed 2026-02-05): 55,462,583 = 10.0%
  • Mubadala (MTIC + MTIIIC + affiliates): 81.0%
  • Free float (excl. Mubadala + FMR + insiders): approximately 9–10% of outstanding, or ~50M shares
  • Per STOCK_PRICE_DATA.json (2026-04-28): float reported ~83M shares (likely includes some FMR holdings as float-eligible)

Weighted-average shares outstanding:

  • Basic FY25: 555M (FY24: 553M, FY23: 552M)
  • Diluted FY25: 558M (FY24: 553M, FY23: 556M)

RSUs and PSUs outstanding under 2021 Plan (FY25 20-F):

  • 8.7M RSUs outstanding
  • 3.0M PSUs outstanding
  • 12.0M ordinary shares available for future grant under the plan

7. Off-balance-sheet / commitments

  • Capacity reservation fees received from customers under LTAs are recorded as deferred revenue; the 20-F discloses LTAs but not the contracted dollar quantum.
  • Lease obligations recognized via $569M ROU asset (FY25); offsetting $69M current + non-current lease liability.
  • Mubadala Shareholder’s Agreement — director-nomination rights, consent rights triggered by ownership thresholds (50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 5%). See mubadala related party.

8. Subsequent events (post 2025-12-31)

  • February 2026 — Board approves first-ever $500M share repurchase authorization, valid 12 months. (Disclosed in the FY25 20-F itself; counts as subsequent-event-style disclosure.)
  • March 11–12, 2026 — F-3ASR shelf registration filed and 424B7 prospectus supplement priced (acc. 0001709048-26-000028 / 030 / 040). This opens the door for Mubadala to sell down its 81% stake via SEC-registered secondary offerings at any time without further filing burden. Mubadala has not announced an intent to sell as of the data cutoff. This is the load-bearing supply-side risk for the equity.
  • March 2026 — Anderskouv (President/COO) announced intent to resign effective 2026-03-02 (per FY25 20-F bio).

9. Open items / backfill queue

  1. Full Note 17 long-term debt schedule extraction — debt-by-tranche carrying value, interest rates, principal payment schedule, year-of-maturity tower. Required for a clean credit-position view; not fully extracted from the 20-F text-mining pass.
  2. Goodwill segment-allocation by acquisition (FY25 Note 12 / 13) — what portion of $708M goodwill addition allocates to MIPS vs. AMF vs. SMP vs. Tagore vs. InfiniLink? Required for FY26 goodwill-impairment-risk read.
  3. Inventory days / DSO / DPO — working-capital quality metrics not explicitly extracted; would be derived from quarterly receivable/inventory/payable balances.
  4. AMITC tax credit on the balance sheet — is the $7M FY25 AMITC refund a one-off, or is GFS booking ongoing AMITC receivable as a deferred tax asset? Affects forward effective tax rate.
