MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (MTSI)
Data as of July 16, 2026
Environment story
MACOM discloses minimal environmental data in its SEC filings. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are not quantified; Scope 3 emissions (supply-chain carbon from overseas manufacturing, assembly, and test operations in Asia) are undisclosed and likely substantial given the company's reliance on external foundries and contract manufacturers. No net-zero target year is disclosed. The company operates semiconductor fabrication and assembly facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia, creating operational environmental footprint; however, facility-level emissions reductions and renewable energy commitments are absent from available disclosures. Environmental controversies include a legacy liability as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at the Omega Chemical Corporation Superfund site in Whittier, California, alongside over 100 other companies, with non-material but ongoing remediation accrual. The company acknowledges exposure to WEEE and RoHS compliance costs but does not disclose specific climate targets, decarbonization initiatives, or renewable electricity percentages. Greenwashing assessment: no evidence of carbon-offset reliance; however, absence of supply-chain emissions disclosure and lack of credible net-zero commitment warrant significant deductions.

Leadership diversity (executive and board composition) is not quantified in the 10-K filing; specific percentages of women or underrepresented groups in technical or executive roles are absent, suggesting likely sub-30% representation (common in semiconductor industry). Supply-chain ethics: Company acknowledges reliance on external foundries and contract manufacturers across Asia and notes exposure to supply chain risks (labor shortages, geopolitical disruption) but does not disclose formal human-rights audits, conflict-minerals policies, or living-wage commitments.

Governance story
MACOM operates with a single class of common stock (no dual-class voting structure identified), which supports governance neutrality on that metric. Board independence percentage is not explicitly disclosed in the 10-K; typical semiconductor companies achieve 75-85% independence, but absence of specific disclosure prevents exact scoring. No evidence of active lobbying to weaken climate regulation or consumer-protection statutes; however, company acknowledges participation in trade associations and exposure to U.S. government policy changes (e.g., CHIPS Act funding, export controls, tariffs). Company faces cyclical regulatory scrutiny: export control compliance (BIS, ITAR), federal contracting regulations (FAR), GDPR and CCPA privacy compliance, and environmental remediation obligations. No active antitrust or SEC consent decrees reported in the 10-K; however, company notes litigation risk and has experienced patent infringement disputes (typical for semiconductor sector). Company notes risk from shareholder litigation and stock price volatility, indicating governance oversight challenges. Significant related-party concentration: largest shareholder Susan Ocampo beneficially owned 12.5% of common stock as of October 3, 2025, creating potential for influence over board and major corporate actions. A material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting has not been disclosed; company certifies compliance with disclosure controls and procedures but does not disclose valuation pressures on goodwill or intangible assets ($1.2 billion+ from acquisitions), creating transparency risk. Convertible debt restructuring (December 2024 exchange and issuance) and loss on debt extinguishment ($193.1 million) indicates active capital management but also suggests prior debt mispricing or strategic reassessment.
