NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in millions, except per share amounts or otherwise stated)

Note 1. Corporate Information

Company Operations

GlobalFoundries Inc. (“GlobalFoundries”) is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The address of GlobalFoundries’ registered office is P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104 Cayman Islands.

GlobalFoundries and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company”, “GlobalFoundries”, “GF”, “we”, or “us”) is one of the world’s leading semiconductor foundries and offers a full range of mainstream wafer fabrication services and technologies. The Company manufactures a broad range of semiconductor devices, including microprocessors, mobile application processors, baseband processors, network processors, radio frequency modems, microcontrollers and power management units.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Summary of Material Accounting Policies and Critical Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

Statement of Compliance — The interim condensed consolidated financial statements ('interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with GlobalFoundries' Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023. The interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements.

The interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB.

The interim financial statements were authorized by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee of GlobalFoundries’ Board of Directors on November 4, 2024, to be issued and subsequent events have been evaluated for their potential effect on the interim financial statements through November 5, 2024.

Summary of Material Accounting Policies and Critical Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions — The summary of material accounting policies and critical judgments, estimates and assumptions adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Change in Presentation — Certain prior period balances in the interim financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. This change is not a change in accounting policy. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income, cash flows or shareholders' equity previously reported.

New and Amended Accounting Pronouncements Adopted — On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the following amendments, which did not have a material impact on the interim financial statements:

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements) — The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period, including compliance with loan covenants before or at the reporting date. The amendments also require disclosures for liabilities subject to future covenants that an entity must comply with after the reporting period, which help users to understand the risk that those liabilities could become repayable within twelve months after the reporting period.

Lease Liability in a Sales and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases) — The amendments specify the requirements that the seller-lessee must meet when measuring these lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure that the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of profit or loss that relates to the right of use that it retains.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in millions, except per share amounts or otherwise stated)

Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures) — The amendments clarify the characteristics of supplier financing arrangements and require additional disclosures of such arrangements, so as to understand the effects of financing arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and liquidity risk exposure. The transition rules clarify that an entity is not required to provide disclosures in any interim periods in the year of initial application of the amendments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Adopted:

The Company has not adopted the following new, revised or amended IFRS standards that have been issued by the IASB that are not yet effective:

Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures) — The amendments clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of certain financial assets and liabilities, add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest criterion and add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows. The effective date for adoption of these amendments is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18") — This new standard will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The key concepts in IFRS 18 relate to the structure of the statement of profit or loss, required disclosures in the financial statements for certain management-defined performance measures and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.

•IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the first three are new.

•IFRS 18 also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.

•In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’ and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.

The effective date for adoption of this standard is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and earlier adoption is permitted. Retrospective application is required.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11 — These narrow-scope amendments relate to clarifications, simplifications, corrections or changes to improve consistency in the following IFRS statements: IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Instruments and IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. The effective date for adoption of these amendments is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.

As of the date the accompanying financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company continues to evaluate the impact of the aforementioned standards on its financial position and performance and related applicable periods.

Note 3. Net Revenue

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated based on revenue source, timing of revenue recognition and end markets that we serve, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company believes these categories best depict the nature and timing of revenue:


	Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Type of goods and services:
Wafer revenue(1)(2)	$	1,565	$	1,646	$	4,421	$	4,903



Non wafer revenue(1)(2)	174		206		499		635


Total	$	1,739	$	1,852	$	4,920	$	5,538

Timing of revenue recognition:
Revenue recognized over time	$	127	$	117	$	384	$	332
Revenue recognized at a point in time	1,612		1,735		4,536		5,206
Total	$	1,739	$	1,852	$	4,920	$	5,538

End Markets:
Smart Mobile Devices	$	868	$	779	$	2,310	$	2,258

Non wafer revenue and other	174		206		499		635
Total	$	1,739	$	1,852	$	4,920	$	5,538

(1) Beginning in 2024, access fees and other have been reclassified from wafer revenue to non wafer revenue. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current presentation.

(2) Beginning in the fourth quarter 2023, underutilization charges have been included in wafer revenue. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current presentation.

Note 4. Income taxes

For tax reporting purposes, the Company consolidates its entities under GlobalFoundries Inc., a Cayman Islands entity. As a Cayman Islands entity, the Company’s domestic statutory income tax rate is 0.0%. The difference between the Company’s domestic statutory income tax rate and its effective income tax rate reflected in income tax benefit or income tax expense is primarily due to the effect of tax rates and permanent differences in other jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 8.7% and (2.5)%, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of a U.S. withholding tax reclassification from income tax in the third quarter 2023 and higher income tax expense related to the U.S. corporate alternative minimum tax.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 9.7% and 5.7%, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of higher income tax expense related to the U.S. corporate alternative minimum tax.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments – The Company enters into several purchase agreements and supplementary agreements with its third-party manufacturers and suppliers for future deliveries of equipment and components. In addition, the Company enters into intellectual property and licensing agreements with third parties. The total future payments under these agreements amounted to $591 million and $1.1 billion, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Unconditional purchase commitments of $368 million are due within the next 12 months.

Additionally, the Company obtained letters of credit to primarily guarantee payments for utility suppliers and foreign statutory payroll related charges. The Company has obtained letters of credit of $30 million and $23 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and has drawn down bank guarantees of $4 million and $54 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Contingencies – From time to time, the Company is a party to claims that arise in the normal course of business. These claims include allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights of others as well as other claims of liability. In addition, the Company, on a case by case basis, includes intellectual property indemnification provisions in the terms of sale and technology licenses with third parties. The Company is also subject to various taxes in the different jurisdictions in which it operates. These include property, goods and services, and other non-income taxes. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe it is probable that losses associated with these matters beyond those already recognized will be incurred in amounts that would be material to the interim financial statements.

On April 28, 2021, IBM sent the Company a letter alleging for the first time that it did not fulfill its obligations under the contracts entered into with IBM in 2014 and 2015 associated with the acquisition of IBM’s Microelectronics division. IBM asserted that the Company engaged in fraudulent misrepresentations during the underlying negotiations, and claimed the Company owed them $2.5 billion in damages and restitution. On June 7, 2021, the Company filed a complaint with the New York State Supreme Court (the “Court”) seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company did not breach the relevant contracts. IBM subsequently filed its complaint with the Court on June 8, 2021. On September 14, 2021, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss IBM’s claims of fraud, unjust enrichment and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. IBM appealed the dismissal of its fraud claim, and on April 7, 2022, the New York Appellate Division reversed the Court’s decision. Discovery and dispositive motion practice have been completed and the trial is scheduled to commence on February 3, 2025. The Company believes, based on discussions with legal counsel, that it has meritorious defenses against IBM’s claims and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring management judgment to develop the Company’s own models with estimates and assumptions.

Cash Equivalents – Cash equivalents include investments in government obligation-based money market funds, other money market instruments and interest-bearing deposits with initial or remaining terms of three months or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates its carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Marketable Securities – Marketable securities utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs include U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, floating rate securities, money market mutual funds, corporate debt instruments and other Notes, bonds or debt securities issued by non-U.S. sovereign or multilateral entities, as these securities all have quoted prices in active markets.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include grants receivable, loans receivable, lease obligations and the Company’s current and non-current portion of long-term debt.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the following table:


	September 30, 2024				December 31, 2023

Total	$	2,313	$	2,256	$	2,372	$	2,319

Estimated fair values of long-term debt are based on quoted prices for similar liabilities for which significant inputs are observable and represent a Level 2 valuation. The fair values are estimated based on the type of debt and their maturities. The Company estimates the fair value using market interest rates of debts with similar maturities.

Note 15. Share-Based Compensation

We measure and recognize compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee, consultant, and non-employee director share option awards, in our consolidated financial statements based on fair value. The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options, and the Monte Carlo simulation model for the performance share units and a share price at the grant date for the restricted share units. The Black-Scholes model and Monte Carlo model both require management to make certain assumptions of future expectations based on historical and current data. The assumptions include the expected term of the awards, expected volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The expected term represents the amount of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding, based on forecasted exercise behavior. The option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock, expected term of the awards, expected volatility of the price of the Company’s shares, risk free interest rate and the expected dividend yield of ordinary shares. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the option awards represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The Company estimates the expected forfeiture for options utilizing historical data, and only recognizes expense when a defined liquidity event (change in control or IPO) is deemed probable on the number of awards that are expected to vest. After applying a forfeiture estimate during each reporting period for when they are probable of vesting, the Company recognizes expense on a graded attribution basis for each tranche of the award over the period from the grant date to the later of the one-year anniversary of estimated time following a liquidity event or the legal vesting dates.

The Company offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase our ordinary shares through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation. A participant may purchase a maximum of 2,500 ordinary shares during the purchase period. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are used to purchase ordinary shares at the end of each six-month period, with the Company matching 20% of each employee's contributions on an after-tax basis.

GlobalFoundries Inc.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWS AND PROSPECTS

Overview

GlobalFoundries Inc. (“we,” “GF,” or the “Company”) is one of the world’s leading semiconductor foundries. We manufacture complex, essential integrated circuits (“ICs”) that are used in billions of electronic devices across various industries. Our specialized foundry manufacturing processes, extensive library of qualified circuit-building block designs (known as IP titles or IP blocks), and advanced transistor and device technology allow us to serve a wide range of customers, including the global leaders in IC design. We focus on providing optimized solutions for critical applications that drive key secular growth end markets, ensuring function, performance, and power requirements are met. As the only scaled pure-play foundry with a global footprint that is not based in China or Taiwan, we offer our customers the advantage of mitigating geopolitical risk and ensuring greater supply chain certainty. Our definition of a scaled pure-play foundry is a company that specializes in producing ICs for other companies, with annual foundry revenue exceeding $2.5 billion. Our differentiated foundry solutions redefine the industry by offering essential chip solutions that empower our customers to develop innovative products for a wide range of applications in diverse markets.

We focus on essential devices that include digital, analog, mixed-signal, radio frequency (“RF”), ultra-low power and embedded memory solutions that connect, secure and process data, and efficiently power the digital world around us. Our core technology portfolio includes a range of differentiated technology platforms, including our industry-leading RF silicon-on-insulator solutions, advanced high-performance Fin Field-Effect Transistor, Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, our proprietary FDXTM, high-performance Silicon Germanium and Gallium Nitride (“GaN”) products and Silicon Photonics, all of which can be purposely engineered, innovated and designed for a broad set of demanding applications.

The principal source of our revenue is wafer fabrication and sales of finished semiconductor wafers, which accounted for approximately 90% of our net revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The rest of our net revenue was mainly derived from photomask manufacturing, sourcing services and pre-fab manufacturing services.

Our business has experienced weaker demand across several of the end markets within which we operate, as our customers managed elevated inventory levels, amid an uncertain macro-economic environment, which has adversely impacted our revenues. Despite a modest improvement in quarterly revenue during 2024, demand remains below the levels in 2022 and 2023, as macro-economic uncertainties continue. As discussed in Item 3.D. “Key Information - Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on From 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we have chosen to renegotiate certain of our long term agreements (“LTAs”) with existing customers to reflect lower volume commitments and/or longer commitment timelines, and we expect that we will continue to renegotiate additional LTAs through the remainder of 2024.

We remain cautious as the global macroeconomic uncertainty continues, reflecting the impacts of inflation, high historic interest rates, and geopolitical conflicts. Although we are starting to see the inflationary headwinds moderate, the recent macro-economic environment has led to a prolonged and deeper cyclical downturn than was first anticipated. The extent to which these uncertainties will impact our business activities will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted at this time. We continue to collaborate closely with our customers to support the acceleration of their inventory depletion, while seeking to preserve the economic value of the commercial agreements we have entered into.

Components of Results of Operations

Net Revenue

We generate the majority of our revenue from sales of finished semiconductor wafers, which are priced on a per-wafer basis for the applicable design, and breakage fees or settlement fees arising from not meeting the minimum purchase requirements under certain LTAs with customers. We also generate revenue from the rendering of non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services, mask production and post-fabrication services such as bump, test and packaging.

GlobalFoundries Inc.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of material expenses, depreciation and amortization, employee-related expenses, facility costs and costs of fixed assets, including maintenance and spare parts. Material expenses primarily include the costs of raw wafers, test wafers, photomasks, resists, process gases, process chemicals, other operating supplies and external service costs for wafer manufacturing. Costs related to NRE services are also included within the cost of revenue. As it pertains to inflation and inflationary headwinds we are facing within our business, we have experienced an increase in costs for materials and energy, and we expect these increases to continue to have an adverse impact on our financial results of operations while these economic conditions persist.

Depreciation and amortization charges primarily include the depreciation of clean room production equipment. Commencement of depreciation related to construction in progress and property, plant and equipment involves determining when the assets are available for their intended use. Employee-related expenses primarily include employee wages and salaries, social security contributions and benefit costs for operators, maintenance technicians, process engineers, supply chain, IT production, yield improvement and health and safety roles. Facility costs primarily consist of the costs of electricity, water and other utilities and services. We expect our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue to decrease sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development (“R&D”), selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”), and restructuring charges. Personnel costs are the most significant component of our operating expenses, and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, share-based compensation and commissions.

Research and Development

Our R&D efforts are focused on developing highly differentiated process technologies and solutions. Our R&D expense includes personnel costs, material costs, software license and intellectual property expenses, facility costs, supplies, professional and consulting fees, and depreciation on equipment used in R&D activities. Our development roadmap includes new platform investments, platform features and extensions, and investments in emerging technology capabilities and solutions. We expense R&D costs as incurred. We believe that continued investment in our technology portfolio is important for our future growth and acquisition of new customers. We expect our R&D as a percentage of revenue to modestly decrease sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative

SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including sales commissions to independent sales representatives and professional fees, including the costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax compliance. Additionally, costs related to advertising, trade shows, corporate marketing and allocated overhead costs are also included in SG&A expenses. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, SG&A expenses also include certain contract cancellation fees, (gain) loss on tool sales and withholding taxes. Certain contract cancellation fees and (gain) loss on tool sales were previously included in other income (expense) while withholding taxes were previously recorded in income tax expense. We expect our SG&A as a percentage of revenue to modestly increase sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges primarily relate to reductions in our global workforce, leased workspace and consultants we engage for strategic support of the restructuring.

Other Operating Charges

Finance Income (Expense), net

Finance income (expense), net consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, net of any interest expense on borrowings, amortization of debt issuance costs under our term loans, revolving credit facility, finance leases and other credit facilities we maintain with various financial institutions.

GlobalFoundries Inc.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net consists of our share of profit of our joint venture, one-time gains and losses and other miscellaneous income and expense items unrelated to our core operations. Included are gains and losses relating to hedging activities. Prior to the third quarter of 2023, other income (expense), net also included (gain) loss on tool sales and certain contract cancellation fees.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense consists primarily of income taxes in jurisdictions in which we conduct business, which mainly include Germany, Singapore and the United States.

Net revenue decreased by $113 million, or 6.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease from the prior period was primarily driven by wafer shipment volume totaling 549 thousand (300mm equivalent), a 5% decrease from prior period. This was principally the result of elevated inventory levels for several of our customers across certain end markets that we serve, which has resulted in lower customer demand in the Home and Industrial IOT, Communications Infrastructure & Datacenter, and Automotive end-markets. This has been partially offset by increased customer demand in the Smart Mobile Devices end-market.

Net revenue decreased by $618 million, or 11.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease from the prior period was primarily driven by wafer shipment volume totaling 1,529 thousand (300mm equivalent), an 8% decrease from prior period. Wafer shipment volume decline was primarily the result of elevated inventory levels for several of our customers across certain end markets that we serve, which has resulted in lower customer demand in the Communications Infrastructure & Datacenter, and Home and Industrial IOT end-markets. This has been partially offset by increased customer demand in the Automotive and Smart Mobile Devices end-markets. Additionally, average selling prices decreased by 2% from prior period, primarily due to mix shifts.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed operations primarily through cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, as well as cash generated from our business operations, including prepayments under LTAs, debt and government grants. As of September 30, 2024, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances of approximately $4.3 billion included $2.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $2.0 billion of marketable securities.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an undrawn revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion. In addition to our available revolver, we had $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which was primarily comprised of multiple term loans in various currencies. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of payments we receive from customers pursuant to our LTAs and other business arrangements, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the introduction of new and enhanced products and solutions, the continuing market adoption of our platform, and our obligations to repay our indebtedness from time to time. We may from time to time seek to raise additional capital to support our growth. As of September 30, 2024, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, credit under our revolving credit facility and expected cash generated from operations are sufficient to meet our capital requirements for at least the next 12 months and beyond.

Cash Flows

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the periods presented:

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $1,265 million decreased $176 million compared to the $1,441 million provided for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to $273 million in lower net income related to reduced sales offset by non-cash adjustments of $115 million mainly driven by $142 million of higher depreciation related to the expansion of our manufacturing capacity and $23 million of higher share-based compensation partially offset by decreased finance income of $47 million.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $1,033 million decreased $754 million compared to the cash used of $1,787 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by $1,108 million lower capital and intangible expenditures related to the expansion of our fabrication facilities. Partially offsetting this decrease was $238 million of proceeds from the sale of the East Fishkill facility, received in January 2023, an increase of $41 million for net purchases of marketable securities and $69 million related to acquisition costs.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $333 million increased $208 million compared to the cash used of $125 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to $200 million purchase of treasury shares in the second quarter of 2024.
