It was charged against third-quarter chip revenue. ## What the fee buys The September 15 amendment frees Littelfuse entities from cross-guarantees and eases transfer restrictions. Littelfuse says that widens its options for the Dortmund Semiconductor GmbH asset. Payment comes in two parts: €15 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 and €9.6 million in the second quarter of 2027\. Meanwhile other customer reserves in accrued liabilities stood at $30.2 million at September 26, against $2.9 million at December 27, 2025. ## A dent in semiconductor sales Semiconductor sales in the Electronics segment were $187.4 million in the quarter, against $174.1 million a year earlier. The [earnings release](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000889331/000162828026067718/q32026earningsreleaseex991.htm?ref=bullished.co) adds the fee back to reach $215.9 million of adjusted semiconductor net sales. The 10-Q also records a $1.3 million non-cash impairment of customer relationships acquired with the Dortmund fab, which it ties to lower expectations for future revenue and cash flow. The [prior quarter's filing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000889331/000162828026050481/lfus-20260627.htm?ref=bullished.co) carried no such charge. ## A fab bought at the end of 2024 Littelfuse completed its purchase of the 200mm Dortmund fab from Elmos on December 31, 2024, for about €94 million, and reports it within its semiconductor business. Since then it has announced the closure or disposition of two semiconductor manufacturing sites, with fixed-asset impairments of $13.4 million for the first nine months of 2026. The company expects remaining employee-termination payments from its restructuring to be substantially finished during fiscal 2027. ### Sources - [10-Q Filing — Littelfuse (LFUS)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000889331/000162828026067807/lfus-20260926.htm?ref=bullished.co) — SEC EDGAR - [10-Q Filing — Littelfuse (LFUS), Q2 FY2026 filed 2026-07-29 (comparison basis)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000889331/000162828026050481/lfus-20260627.htm?ref=bullished.co) — SEC EDGAR - [Earnings release (8-K Item 2.02, q32026earningsreleaseex991.htm) — Littelfuse, filed 2026-10-28](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000889331/000162828026067718/q32026earningsreleaseex991.htm?ref=bullished.co) — SEC EDGAR - [Littelfuse (LFUS) Beats Q3 Earnings Estimates](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/littelfuse-lfus-beats-q3-earnings-113505619.html?.tsrc=rss&ref=bullished.co) — Yahoo Finance - [Littelfuse Q3 2026 Earnings Call Transcript](https://www.benzinga.com/news/26/10/62655482/littelfuse-q3-2026-earnings-call-transcript?ref=bullished.co) — benzinga.com - [Littelfuse Non-GAAP EPS of $5.79 beats by $0.81, revenue of $767M misses by $27.66M (LFUS:NASDAQ)](https://seekingalpha.com/news/4658761-littelfuse-non-gaap-eps-of-5%5F79-beats-by-0%5F81-revenue-of-767m-misses-by-27%5F66m?ref=bullished.co) — seekingalpha.com - [Littelfuse expects Q4 net sales $750M-$770M while reaffirming 2030 targets of $4.5B revenue and $1.1B adjusted EBITDA (NASDAQ:LFUS) | Seeking Alpha](https://seekingalpha.com/news/4659109-littelfuse-expects-q4-net-sales-750m-770m-while-reaffirming-2030-targets-of-4%5F5b-revenue-and?ref=bullished.co) — seekingalpha.com - [リテルヒューズ、超低クランプ電圧と超低キャパシタンスを両立したTVSダイオードアレイを発表 - ZDNET Japan](https://japan.zdnet.com/release/31218265/?ref=bullished.co) — japan.zdnet.com ### More on Littelfuse - [Littelfuse's Data Center Boom Is Still Low-Voltage, CEO Says — The Higher-Voltage Ramp Is Ahead](https://www.bullished.co/littelfuses-data-center-boom-is-still-low-voltage-ceo-says-the-higher-voltage-ramp-is-20e86ac0/) - [Littelfuse Books A $28.5 Million One-Time Dortmund Fee, Says It Opens Power Chip Options](https://www.bullished.co/littelfuse-books-a-28-5-million-one-time-dortmund-fee-says-it-opens-power-chip-options-11adab80/) - [Littelfuse Adjusted EPS Jumps 96% To A Record $5.79 On Data Center And Grid Demand](https://www.bullished.co/littelfuse-adjusted-eps-jumps-96-to-a-record-5-79-on-data-center-and-grid-demand-47bbacc6/) [All Littelfuse (LFUS) coverage →](https://www.bullished.co/tag/lfus/)
