1. Cash + marketable securities — $4.0B at FY25 YE (down from $4.2B FY24)
| Line item | 2025-12-31 ($M) | 2024-12-31 ($M) | $Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1,800 | 2,200 | −400 |
| Marketable securities (current) | 2,200 | 2,000 | +200 |
| Marketable securities (non-current) | 939 | 839 | +100 |
| Total liquid assets | ~4.94B ✓ | ~5.04B ✓ | −100 |
| Restricted cash + other (in non-current) | included above | included 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 $1.8 billion of debt outstanding as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which was comprised of multiple term loans and other debt facilities in various currencies.”
| Tranche | Currency | Rate | 2025 carrying ($M) | 2024 carrying ($M) | Maturity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD Term Loan A | USD | SOFR + 2.90% | 0 | 586 | 2025 (paid down) |
| 2021 SGD EDB Loan (Singapore Economic Development Board) | SGD | 1.40% | 24 | 24 ⚠ | 2041 |

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 — $7.2B carrying value
| Line item | 2025-12-31 ($M) | 2024-12-31 ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| Property, plant and equipment, net | 7,223 | 7,762 |
| Right-of-use assets (leases) | 569 | 498 |
| Goodwill and intangible assets, net | 1,368 | 660 |
| Marketable securities (non-current) | 939 | 839 |
| Deferred tax assets | 231 | 188 |
| Receivables, prepayments and other (non-current) | 498 | 351 |
| Other non-current financial assets | 108 | 85 |
| Total non-current assets | 10,936 | 10,383 |
| Total current assets | 6,205 | 6,416 |
| Total assets | 17,141 ✓ | 16,799 ✓ |
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 = ~$26M residual intangibles or step-up; consistent with valued targets being primarily IP / customer-list intensive (MIPS, Tagore). Goodwill impairment risk is moderate but should be monitored at the FY26 testing date — particularly given the pre-acquisition margin profile of MIPS (early-cycle IP licensing) and AMF (200mm legacy Singapore foundry).
4. Working capital and current liabilities
| Current asset | 2025-12-31 ($M) | 2024-12-31 ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| Total current assets | 6,205 | 6,416 |
| (Includes cash + marketable + receivables + inventories) |
| Current liability | 2025-12-31 ($M) | 2024-12-31 ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| Trade payables and other current liabilities | 2,154 | 2,109 |
| Current portion of long-term debt | 86 | 753 |
| Current portion of lease obligations | 69 | 90 |
| Current portion of deferred income from gov’t grants | 59 | 92 |
| 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Inventory days / DSO / DPO — working-capital quality metrics not explicitly extracted; would be derived from quarterly receivable/inventory/payable balances.
- 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.
