SiTime Corporation Announces Misclassification in Cash Flows and Non-Reliance on Prior Financial Statements

Details

The error involved categorizing interest received upon maturity of held-to-maturity securities as an investing activity instead of an operating activity. This misclassification led to the material misstatement of the consolidated statements of cash flows and the identification of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. As a result, the company's previously issued unaudited financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon. SiTime plans to restate these financials in amendments to its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
