Exhibit 99.4
SEMTECH CORPORATION
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated pro forma effects of the proposed acquisition of Sierra Wireless, Inc. (the “Seller” or “Sierra Wireless”) by Semtech Corporation (the “Buyer”, “Semtech”, “Parent”, or “Company”) (the “Acquisition”) and the related financing transactions which includes the expected draw down of our existing revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), the borrowing under our term loan commitments (the “New Term Loan”) and proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) (the “Financing”, collectively with the Acquisition, the “Transactions”).
The financial information for Semtech is based on a 52 or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in January, while the financial information for Sierra Wireless is based on a 12-month fiscal year ending on December 31 of each year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if they had been completed as of July 31, 2022, and combines the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Semtech as of July 31, 2022 with the consolidated balance sheet of Sierra Wireless as of June 30, 2022.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on February 1, 2021, the beginning of Semtech’s prior fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended January 30, 2022 combines the consolidated statement of income of Semtech for its fiscal year ended January 30, 2022 and the consolidated statement of operations of Sierra Wireless for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the six months ended July 31, 2022 combines the condensed consolidated statement of income of Semtech for its six month period ended July 31, 2022 and the consolidated statement of operations of Sierra Wireless for its six month period ended June 30, 2022.
The historical financial statements of Semtech and Sierra Wireless have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give estimated pro forma effect to the Transactions through the transaction accounting adjustments. Specifically, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information classifies the Financing and other material transactions related to the Acquisition as “Transaction Accounting Adjustments – Other” and material transactions as described in the Arrangement Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) as “Transaction Accounting Adjustments – Acquisition”. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has not been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes are provided for informational and illustrative purposes only and should be read in conjunction with the following:
| · | The audited consolidated financial statements of Semtech as of and for the year ended January 30, 2022, and the related notes, included in Semtech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022. |
| · | The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Semtech as of and for the six months ended July 31, 2022, and the related notes, included in Semtech’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2022; |
| · | The audited consolidated financial statements of Sierra Wireless as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes, included in Exhibit 99.2 of Semtech’s Current Report on Form 8-K of which this Exhibit 99.4 forms a part; and |
| · | The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Sierra Wireless as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes, included in Exhibit 99.3 of Semtech’s Current Report on Form 8-K of which this Exhibit 99.4 forms a part. |
Information regarding these pro forma adjustments is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the Acquisition may differ materially from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as the Acquisition and related Financing have yet to close. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not indicative of what the combined company financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Transactions occurred at an earlier date or on the dates assumed. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The actual results of the Company may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Description of the Transactions
The Acquisition
On August 2, 2022, Semtech, a Delaware corporation, Sierra Wireless, a corporation formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act, and 13548597 Canada Inc., a corporation formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act and wholly owned subsidiary of Semtech (the “Acquirer”), entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Acquirer will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sierra Wireless. Upon closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing” or the “Closing Date”), each common share of Sierra Wireless that is issued and outstanding as of the Closing will transfer to the Acquirer in consideration for the right to receive $31.00 in cash per common share without interest (the “Purchase Consideration”). Additionally, in connection with the Acquisition, each Sierra Wireless equity award granted under Sierra Wireless’ historical equity compensation plans will be converted into the right to receive the Purchase Consideration in an amount in which the equity awards convert into common shares.
In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), the preliminary purchase consideration will be $1,287.8 million as provided for in the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company intends to enter into certain financing transactions, including issuing the Notes, borrowing under a New Term Loan and drawing on its existing Revolving Credit Facility.
The Financing
To fund a portion of the Acquisition, Semtech is issuing Notes for estimated gross proceeds of $250.0 million. Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, Semtech plans to enter into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, in which Semtech estimates that approximately $21.0 million of the proceeds from the Notes will be used to pay for the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions (after the cost is partially offset by the proceeds to Semtech from the sale of the warrant transactions). Such estimated amount with respect to the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions is included for illustrative purposes only, and the actual amount of net proceeds used to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions may differ. Separately, Semtech plans to draw down a gross $75.0 million on its existing Revolving Credit Facility and borrow a gross $895.0 million under its New Term Loan. Following the issuance of the Notes, Semtech plans to use any remaining proceeds from the Notes, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and New Term Loan and available cash and cash equivalents to fund the settlement of Sierra Wireless’ existing debt, pay the Purchase Consideration, and pay any related fees and expenses.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information give effect to the settlement of Sierra Wireless’ existing debt and issuances of new Semtech debt under the Financing.
Treatment of Sierra Wireless’ Historical Share-Based Compensation as a result of the Acquisition
Per the terms of the Purchase Agreement and at the option of the Company, equity awards granted under Sierra Wireless’ historical equity compensation plans will be accelerated, will become fully vested and will be converted into the right to receive the Purchase Consideration for each share of Sierra Wireless common stock subject to such award (and in the case of stock options, less the applicable per share exercise price of such option). The fair value of the awards settled in cash associated with pre-acquisition services of Sierra Wireless’ employees represent a component of the preliminary total purchase consideration, whereas the remaining fair value of the awards settled in cash are excluded from the preliminary purchase consideration and is expensed in the post combination financial statements.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
Semtech and Sierra Wireless’ historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are presented in U.S. dollars. As discussed in Note 3, certain reclassifications were made to align the presentation of Sierra Wireless’ financial statements with those of Semtech. Semtech has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Sierra Wireless’ accounting policies to the accounting policies used by Semtech.
The Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and using the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of acquisition consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (and the related determination of estimated useful lives of amortizable identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment and estimates. The estimates and assumptions used include the projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows related to the business acquired. The allocation of the purchase price as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon management’s preliminary estimates of the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation of the purchase price depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary and, in some instances, are incomplete and have been made solely for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Any adjustments to the preliminary estimated fair value amounts could have a significant impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein, and our future results of operations and financial position. The fair value will be determined and finalized subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the realization of any cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring activities which might result from the Acquisition.

Note 4 - Conforming Accounting Policies
At this time, except for as discussed in Note 3 to reclassify certain balances presented in the historical financial statements of Sierra Wireless to conform their presentation to that of Semtech, Semtech is not aware of any material differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that would continue to exist subsequent to the application of acquisition accounting. Following the consummation of the Acquisition, Semtech will conduct a more detailed review of Sierra Wireless’ accounting policies in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require further adjustment of Sierra Wireless’ results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to Semtech’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result, Semtech may identify additional differences between the accounting policies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
