Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks COHU INC names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 17, 2026: 41 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • Risks Relating to Our Business Operations, Growth Strategy and Industry
  • Semiconductor equipment is subject to rapid technological change, product introductions and transitions which may result in inventory write-offs, and our new product development involves numerous risks and uncertainties.
  • The semiconductor industry we serve is cyclical, seasonal, volatile and unpredictable, and increased cyclicality could have an adverse impact on our sales and gross margin.
  • We outsource select manufacturing activities to third-party service providers, which decreases our control over the performance of these functions.
  • If we deliver systems with defects, our reputation and demand for our systems may decrease, and the cost of quality events could be harmful to our operating results.
  • Failure of critical suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of parts in a timely and cost-effective manner could adversely impact our operations.
  • Inflationary pressures, along with any further increase in interest rates, increase the threat of recession and may impact our financial condition or results of operations.
  • The semiconductor equipment industry is intensely competitive, and we may not be able to maintain or win business over our competition.
  • Consolidation in the semiconductor industry and within the semiconductor test equipment market could adversely affect the market for our products and negatively impact our ability to compete.
  • The cyclical nature of the semiconductor equipment industry places enormous demands on our employees, operations and infrastructure.
  • If we cannot continue to develop, manufacture, market and support products and services that meet customer requirements for innovation and quality, our revenue and gross margin may suffer.
  • We must attract and retain experienced personnel to help support our future growth, and competition for such personnel in our industry is high.
The other 30 risks
  • The use of AI within our product development involves risks and uncertainties that may impact our operational performance and be subject to legal and/or regulatory action.
  • Risks Associated with Operating a Global Business
  • We are exposed to the risks of operating in certain foreign locations where we manufacture certain products and support our sales and services to the global semiconductor industry.
  • Geopolitical instability in locations critical to us and our customers may adversely impact our operations, sales and profitability.
  • The occurrence of natural disasters, health epidemics, and geopolitical instability and other threats may adversely impact our operations and sales.
  • Our business could be materially and adversely affected by transition and physical climate change effects and related matters.
  • We are exposed to additional risks as a result of increased attention by our stakeholders to sustainability, including environmental, social and governance matters.
  • Risks Relating to Acquisitions and Other Strategic Transactions
  • We may choose to acquire new and complementary businesses, products or technologies instead of developing them ourselves, and we may be unable to complete these acquisitions or may not be able to successfully integrate an acquired business in a cost-effective and non-disruptive manner.
  • Risks Relating to our Indebtedness, Financing and Future Access to Capital
  • Due to the nature of our business, we need continued access to capital, which if not available to us or if not available on favorable terms, could harm our ability to operate or expand our business.
  • Our foreign operations expose us to additional risks relating to currency fluctuations.
  • We have recorded restructuring, inventory write-offs and asset impairment charges in the past, and may do so again in the future, which could have a material negative impact on our financial results.
  • We are exposed to the instability of financial institutions where we maintain cash deposits or other liquid holdings, which could result in a lack of liquidity.
  • Because a significant portion of our total assets is represented by goodwill, which is subject to mandatory impairment evaluation, and other intangibles, we could be required to write off some or all of its goodwill and other intangibles, which may adversely affect the combined company’s financial condition and results of operations.
  • Risks Relating to Owning Our Stock
  • Our financial and operating results may vary and fall below analysts’ estimates, or credit rating agencies may change their ratings on Cohu, any of which may cause the price of our common stock to decline or make it difficult to obtain other financing.
  • If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, and current and potential stockholders may lose confidence in our financial reporting.
  • We have experienced significant volatility in our stock price.
  • We may underperform relative to our expectations.
  • The performance of our business as affected by the level of our indebtedness could prevent us from meeting the obligations under the indentures governing the Notes or maintaining sufficient liquidity to operate our business or service our debt obligations, and we cannot provide any guarantee that we will be able to actively repurchase our common stock pursuant to a share repurchase program.
  • The issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with any future offerings of securities by us or conversion of the Notes, will dilute our shareholders’ ownership interest in the company.
  • Our stock repurchase program or our purchase of capped call transactions in connection with Notes may not have an impact that is fully reflected in the current stock valuation.
  • Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law or certain provisions governing the Notes may make a takeover of Cohu more difficult.
  • Risks Relating to Regulatory Matters
  • Trade regulations and restrictions impact our ability to manufacture certain products and to sell to certain customers, specifically in China, which may materially harm and limit our business.
  • Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions, enactment of new tax laws, or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.
  • Compliance with regulations may impact sales to foreign customers and impose costs and any failure to comply with such laws may result in severe sanctions and liabilities, which may negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
  • Any failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations could subject us to significant fines and liabilities, and new laws and regulations (such as involving climate change) or changes in regulatory interpretation or enforcement could make compliance more difficult and costly.
  • There may be changes in, and uncertainty with respect to, legislation, regulation and governmental policy in the U.S.
  • Risks Relating to Cybersecurity, Intellectual Property, Privacy and Litigation
  • Our business and operations could suffer in the event of cybersecurity breaches within our operational systems or products.
  • We may fail to adequately protect our intellectual property and, therefore, lose our competitive advantage.
  • We may not be able to adequately protect or defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and expensive, or affect the freedom to operate our business.
  • Data privacy, identity protection and information security compliance may require significant resources and present certain risks.
  • We may be subject to litigation or regulatory proceedings that could have an adverse effect on our business.
