1.1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Qorvo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (together, the "Company" or "Qorvo") have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which could differ materially from actual results. In addition, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March ~~31, 2018~~30, 2019.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain items in the fiscal 2019 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2020 presentation.

The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The first fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30, the second fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 and the third fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal years ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018~~2019 are 52-week years.

2.2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company assesses recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to determine the expected impacts on the Company's financial statements. The summary below describes impacts from newly issued standards as well as material updates to our previous assessments, if any, from Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March ~~31, 2018.~~30, 2019.

In ~~January 2017,~~February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ~~("ASU") 2017-01,~~ ~~"Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business."~~ The new guidance clarifies the definition of a business and provides further guidance for evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. There was no impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,~~ ~~"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force)."~~ The new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company's historical policies were consistent with the new standard, and therefore, there was no impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU~~ 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842).," with multiple amendments subsequently issued. The new guidance requires ~~lessees to recognize~~that lease arrangements be presented on the lessee's balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability ~~for all leases with a term longer than 12 months, including those previously described as operating leases. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP,~~equal to the ~~recognition, measurement, and presentation~~present value of ~~expenses and cash flows arising from a~~the related future minimum lease ~~by a lessee will primarily depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.~~payments. The ~~new guidance will become effective for~~Company adopted the ~~Company~~standard in the first quarter of fiscal ~~2020.~~ 2020, using the modified retrospective approach which permits lessees to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $70.7 million and a lease liability of $75.0 million. The difference between the right-of-use asset and lease liability is primarily attributed to a deferred rent liability which existed under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, "Leases."

The Company ~~expects~~elected the ~~valuation~~transition package of practical expedients, under which the ~~right-of-use assets~~Company does not have to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are leases, or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Further, the Company elected the practical expedient not to separate lease ~~liabilities,~~and non-lease components for ~~leases previously described as operating leases, to be the present value~~substantially all of its ~~forecasted future~~classes of leases and to account for the combined lease ~~commitments,~~and non-lease components as ~~determined by the standard. The Company is continuing to assess the overall impacts of the new standard, including the discount rate to be applied in these valuations.~~

~~In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,~~ ~~"Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities."~~ ~~The new guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities measured under the fair value option and presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments.~~a single lease component. In addition, the ~~FASB clarified guidance related~~Company made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the ~~assessment~~balance sheet.

The adoption of ~~valuation allowances when recognizing deferred tax assets~~this standard resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of less than $0.1 million. This standard did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. See Note 6 for further disclosures resulting from the adoption of this new standard.

related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. There was no impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,~~ ~~"Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),"~~ with several amendments subsequently issued. The new guidance provides an updated framework for revenue recognition, resulting in a single revenue model to be applied by reporting companies under U.S. GAAP. Under the new model, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of adoption is recognized at the date of initial application. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has implemented changes to its accounting policies, internal controls and disclosures to support the new standard; however, these changes were not material. See Note 8 for further disclosures resulting from the adoption of this new standard.

~~4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS~~4. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

~~Total~~

On May 6, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Active-Semi International, Inc. ("Active-Semi"), a private fabless supplier of programmable analog power solutions. The acquisition expanded the Company's product offerings for existing customers and new customers in power management markets. The purchase price of $309.5 million was allocated to Active-Semi's net tangible assets (approximately $19.8 million) and intangible assets ~~decreased~~(approximately $158.4 million) based on their estimated fair values as of May 6, 2019. The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets resulted in goodwill of approximately $131.2 million. The more significant intangible assets acquired included developed technology of $76.7 million (being amortized over 5 to ~~$595.9~~9 years), customer relationships of $40.9 million (being amortized over 5 years) and in-process research and development ("IPRD") of $40.6 million. During the six months ended September 28, 2019, $31.0 million of IPRD assets were completed, transferred to finite-lived intangible assets, and are being amortized over their useful lives of 5 to 7 years. The IPRD remaining as of September ~~29, 2018, compared~~28, 2019 is expected to ~~$860.3 million~~be completed during fiscal 2021 with remaining costs to complete of less than $2.0 million.

The Company will continue to evaluate certain assets, liabilities and tax estimates that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

The Company recorded postcombination compensation expense as ~~of March 31, 2018. This decrease was due to amortization expense for~~well as other acquisition and integration related costs during the three and six months ended September ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019 of ~~$133.4~~$1.7 million and ~~$266.7~~$23.0 million, respectively, ~~primarily~~in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, the Company recorded acquisition and integration related ~~to developed technology~~costs during the three and ~~customer relationships (which had net book values~~six months ended September 28, 2019 of ~~$386.9~~$3.5 million and ~~$196.8~~$4.2 million, respectively, in "Cost of goods sold" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended September 28, 2019, is as ~~of September 29, 2018).~~

This investment was determined to be an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and is accounted for using the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321, "Investments - Equity Securities." As of September 28, 2019, there was no impairment or observable price change for this investment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Marketable securities are measured at fair value and recorded in "Cash and cash equivalents," "Other current assets" and "Long-term investments" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related unrealized gains and losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," a component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax (debt securities) and "Other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (equity securities).

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments. See Note 67 for further disclosures related to the fair value of the Company's ~~long-term~~ debt.

6.6. LEASES

The Company leases certain of its corporate, manufacturing and other facilities from multiple third-party real estate developers. The Company also leases various machinery and office equipment. These operating leases expire at various dates through 2036, and some of these leases have renewal options, with the longest ranging up to two, ten-year periods.

In fiscal 2018, the Company entered into a finance lease which is expected to commence in fiscal 2021 and is not recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2019. The Company’s other finance lease, which is classified in "Property and equipment" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, is immaterial for disclosure.

The Company determines that a contract contains a lease at lease inception if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In evaluating whether the right to control an identified asset exists, the Company assesses whether it has the right to direct the use of the identified asset and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset.

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments considering the term of the lease, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date. The lease term includes renewal options when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised, and excludes termination options. To the extent that the Company's agreements have variable lease payments, the Company includes variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and excludes those that depend on facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time.

The components of lease expense for operating leases for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, are as follows:



	September 28, 2019
	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
Operating lease expense	$	3,963	$	7,417

Senior Notes due 2023 and 2025

On November 19, 2015, the Company issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount ~~of its~~ 6.75% senior notes due December 1, 2023 (the "2023 Notes") and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount ~~of its~~ 7.00% senior notes due December 1, 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2023 Notes were, and the 2025 Notes are, senior unsecured obligations of the Company and guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). The 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 19, 2015 (the "2015 Indenture"), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee.

7.8. STOCK REPURCHASES

On May 23, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of the Company's outstanding stock, which included approximately $126.3 million authorized under athe prior ~~share repurchase~~ program which was terminated concurrent with the new authorization. Under this program, share repurchases are made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases depends on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares, does not have a fixed term, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

During the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares and 3.8 million shares, respectively, of its common stock for approximately $165.0 million and $265.1 million, respectively. As of September 28, 2019, $132.8 million remains available for repurchases under the current share repurchase program. See Note 15 for information regarding the new share repurchase program which was announced by the Company on October 31, 2019.

During the three and six months ended September 29, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares and 2.3 million shares, respectively, of its common stock for approximately $86.7 million ~~under the current share repurchase program. During the six months ended September 29, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock for approximately~~and $186.7 million, (which included 0.4 million shares of its common stock for approximately $35.9 million under a prior share repurchase program).

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares and 1.2 million shares of its common stock for approximately $57.0 million and $88.9 million, respectively, under a prior share repurchase program.

~~8. REVENUE~~

~~Change in Accounting Policy~~

~~The Company adopted ASU 2014-09,~~ ~~"Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),"~~ in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 for open contracts using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative adjustment to "Accumulated deficit" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018. The impact from the cumulative-effect adjustment was immaterial (less than 1% of revenue in the quarter of adoption), related to over-time revenue recognition for customer-controlled inventory and point in time revenue recognition for intellectual property with a right to use. As the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact, comparative financial information for prior periods has not been restated and continues to be presented under the accounting standards in effect for the respective periods.

~~Revenue Recognition Policy~~

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of semiconductor products, either directly to a customer or to a distributor, or at completion of a consignment process. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A majority of the Company's revenue is recognized at a point in time, either on shipment or delivery of the product, depending on individual customer terms and conditions. Revenue from sales to the Company’s distributors is recognized upon shipment of the product to the distributors (sell-in). Revenue is recognized from the Company’s consignment programs at a point in time when the products are pulled from consignment inventory by the customer. Revenue recognized for product and services over-time is immaterial (less than 2% of overall revenue). The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in the new standard in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the corresponding performance obligation is satisfied.

9. REVENUE

Sales agreements are in place with certain customers and contain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, warranty and supply, but typically do not require minimum purchase commitments. In the absence of a sales agreement, the Company’s standard terms and conditions apply. The Company considers a customer's purchase order, which is governed by a sales agreement or the Company’s standard terms and conditions, to be the contract with the customer.

The Company’s pricing terms are negotiated independently, on a stand-alone basis. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration in the form of rebate programs is offered to certain customers, including distributors. These rebates represent less than 5% of net revenue. The majority of these accruals are classified as a contra accounts receivable. The Company determines variable consideration by estimating the most likely amount of consideration it expects to receive from the customer. The Company's terms and conditions do not give its customers a right of return associated with the original sale of its products. However, the Company may authorize sales returns under certain circumstances, which include courtesy returns and like-kind exchanges. Sales returns are classified as a refund liability. The Company reduces revenue and records reserves for product returns and allowances, rebate programs and scrap allowance based on historical experience or specific identification depending on the contractual terms of the arrangement.

The Company’s accounts receivable balance is from contracts with customers and represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration from its customers. Payments are due within one year of completion of the performance obligation and subsequent invoicing and, therefore, do not include significant financing components. To date, there have been no material impairment losses on accounts receivable. Contract assets and contract liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were immaterial in the periods presented.

The Company invoices customers upon shipment and recognizes revenues in accordance with delivery terms. As of September 29, 2018, the Company had $41.6 million in remaining unsatisfied performance obligations with an original duration greater than one year, of which the majority is expected to be recognized as income over the next twelve months.

The Company includes shipping charges billed to customers in "Revenue" and includes the related shipping costs in "Cost of goods sold" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including tariffs, value-added and excise taxes, are excluded from revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company incurs commission expense that is incremental to obtaining contracts with customers. Sales commissions (which are recorded in the "Selling, general and administrative" expense line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income) are expensed when incurred because such commissions are not owed until the performance obligation is satisfied, which coincides with the end of the contract term, and therefore no remaining period exists over which to amortize the commissions.

The following table presents the Company's revenue disaggregated by geography, based on the ~~billing addresses~~location of ~~its customers~~the customers' headquarters (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended				Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company changed its presentation of net revenue based on the "sold to" address of the customer to the above presentation of net revenue based on the location of the customers' headquarters. The September 29, 2018 information above has been reclassified to reflect this change. The Company believes that the disaggregation of revenue based on the location of the customers' headquarters is more representative of how its revenue and cash flows are impacted by geographically-sensitive changes in economic factors.

The Company also disaggregates revenue by operating segments (see Note 11).

10. RESTRUCTURING

In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company initiated restructuring actions to reduce operating expenses and improve its manufacturing cost structure, including the phased closure of a wafer fabrication facility in Florida and idling production at a wafer fabrication facility in Texas. As a result of these actions, the Company expects to record total restructuring charges of approximately $95.0 million, including accelerated depreciation of $49.0 million (to reflect changes in estimated useful lives of certain property and equipment), impairment charges of $16.0 million (to adjust the carrying value of certain property and equipment to reflect its fair value), employee termination benefits of $16.0 million, and other exit costs of $14.0 million. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company has recorded cumulative expenses of approximately $42.9 million, $16.0 million, $12.3 million and $6.9 million for accelerated depreciation, impairment charges, employee termination benefits and other exit costs, respectively, as a result of these restructuring actions (which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2020).

During fiscal 2018, the Company initiated restructuring actions to improve operating efficiencies. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company has recorded cumulative expenses of $46.3 million, $23.4 million and $0.2 million for impairment charges, employee termination benefits and other exit costs, respectively, as a result of these restructuring actions. The Company believes these amounts approximate the total costs to be recognized as these restructuring actions are substantially complete.

In addition, the Company recorded immaterial restructuring expenses in the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, related to exited leased facilities associated with other restructuring events.

The Company does not allocate restructuring costs to its reportable segments.

~~10.~~12. INCOME TAXES

~~U.S. Tax Reform~~

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") was enacted into law. This new law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, full expensing for investments in new and used qualified property, limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation, and the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system.

In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC Topic 740 ~~- Income Taxes~~ ~~(“ASC 740”). The provisional tax effects recorded to date will be revised during the measurement period, possibly materially, due to further~~

~~QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

refinement of the calculations, changes in interpretations and assumptions made, and additional guidance that may be issued by the Department of the U.S. Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service, and other regulatory and standard setting bodies. The Company will complete its analysis within fiscal 2019 consistent with the guidance provided in SAB 118, and any adjustments during this measurement period will be included in net earnings from continuing operations as an adjustment to income tax expense.

~~As described in Note 12~~ ~~Income Taxes~~ in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we were able to reasonably estimate certain effects of the Tax Act provisions that became effective during fiscal 2018 and, therefore, recorded provisional amounts, including a $116.4 million expense related to the one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the “Transitional Repatriation Tax”) and a $39.1 million benefit from the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. While the Company has not finalized the accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act, for the six months ended September 29, 2018 we have made a $15.9 million measurement period adjustment to reduce the tax expense related to the previously recorded provisional amounts. This was comprised of an $11.6 million reduction in the Transitional Repatriation Tax and a $4.3 million increase in U.S. deferred tax assets.

The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions create a new requirement that certain income earned by foreign subsidiaries be currently included in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder. No provisional adjustments related to the potential GILTI impact on deferred taxes has been made as the Company has not made its accounting policy choice of either: (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company's measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”).

The GILTI and executive compensation limitation provisions in the Tax Act became effective for the Company in fiscal 2019. Provisional estimates for the current year impact of these new provisions are included in the calculation of the fiscal 2019 annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income (loss).

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 ~~and September 30, 2017 has been~~was calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss ~~(pre-tax~~(pre-

The Company’s income tax expense was $19.0 million and $24.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, and the Company’s income tax expense was $0.8 million and income tax benefit was $31.4 million, for the three and six months ended September 29, 2018, ~~respectively,~~respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 18.6% and ~~the Company's income tax benefit was $0.3 million and $9.9 million~~16.8% for the three and six months ended September ~~30, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was~~28, 2019, respectively, and 2.3% and 107.1% for the three and six months ended September 29, 2018, ~~respectively, and (0.7)% and 214.7%~~respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September ~~30, 2017, respectively.~~

28, 2019 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”), domestic tax credits generated, foreign permanent differences, the discrete treatment of postcombination compensation expenses related to the Active-Semi acquisition, and a discrete expense related to the Company’s change in its permanent reinvestment assertion for certain unrepatriated foreign earnings previously subject to U.S. federal taxation. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 29, 2018 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, foreign permanent differences, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, changes in unrecognized tax benefits, GILTI, a discrete tax benefit for changes in provisional estimates related to the ~~Transitional Repatriation~~one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and a discrete tax benefit resulting from a retroactive incentive allowing previously non-deductible payments to be amortized. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, changes in unrecognized tax benefits, a discrete tax benefit for excess stock compensation deductions in accordance with the new guidance for accounting for employee share-based payments ASU 2016-09, ~~"Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting"~~), and a discrete tax expense, for the six months only, associated with intra-entity transfers in accordance with the new guidance for the intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory (ASU 2016-16, ~~"Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory"~~).

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Senior Notes due 2029

On September 30, 2019, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes pay interest semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 at a rate of 4.375% per annum. The 2029 Notes will mature on October 15, 2029, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms.

The 2029 Notes were sold in a private offering to certain institutions that then resold the 2029 Notes in the United States to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes. The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are initially guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors.

QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

The 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 30, 2019 (the “2019 Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee. The 2019 Indenture contains customary events of default, including payment default, exchange default, failure to provide certain notices thereunder and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The 2019 Indenture also contains customary negative covenants.

At any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Notes, at a redemption price equal to their principal amount, plus a “make-whole” premium as of the redemption date, and accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 104.375%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Furthermore, at any time on or after October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices specified in the 2019 Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2029 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

In connection with the offering of the 2029 Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2019 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and BofA Securities, Inc., as representative of the initial purchasers of the 2029 Notes, on the other hand.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file with the SEC a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) relating to the registered exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange the 2029 Notes for a new series of the Company’s exchange notes having terms substantially identical in all material respects to, and in the same aggregate principal amount as, the 2029 Notes; (ii) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC; and (iii) cause the Exchange Offer to be consummated no later than the 360th day after September 30, 2019 (or if such 360th day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day). The Company and the Guarantors have also agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to consummate the Exchange Offer.

Under certain circumstances, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file a shelf registration statement relating to the resale of the 2029 Notes as promptly as practicable, and (ii) cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable. The Company and the Guarantors have also agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement continuously effective until one year after its effective date (or such shorter period that will terminate when all the 2029 Notes covered thereby have been sold pursuant thereto).

If the Company fails to meet any of these targets, the annual interest rate on the 2029 Notes will increase by 0.25% during the 90-day period following the default, and will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00% per year. If the Company cures the default, the interest rate on the 2029 Notes will revert to the original level.

Cavendish Kinetics Limited Acquisition

On October 4, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the entire issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish for a cash purchase price of approximately $203.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Cavendish is a private supplier of high-performance RF microelectromechanical system ("MEMS") technology for antenna tuning applications and will become part of the Company's MP operating segment. As a result of the acquisition, RF MEMS technology will be advanced for applications across the Company's products and the technology will be transitioned into high-volume manufacturing for mobile devices and other markets.

Share Repurchase Program

On October 31, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock, which includes approximately $117.0 million authorized under the prior program terminated concurrent with the new authorization. Under this new program, share

repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases will depend on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares, does not have a fixed term, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

Quarterly revenue ~~increased 7.7%~~decreased 8.8% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal ~~2018,~~2019, primarily due to ~~higher~~lower shipments of our mobile products and base station products to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and its affiliates ("Huawei") as well as lower demand for our ~~cellular RF solutions~~mobile products in support of our customers based in ~~China and~~China. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue resulting from higher demand for marquee smartphones experienced by our largest end customer as well as higher demand ~~for our base station and Wi-Fi products.~~from a Korea-based customer.

Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 was ~~40.0%~~40.1% as compared to ~~39.1%~~40.0% for the second quarter of fiscal ~~2018. The increase was primarily due~~2019, with gross margin improvements related to lower intangible amortization expense and favorable changes in product mix ~~within our cellular RF solutions, partially~~being offset by ~~average selling price erosion.~~lower factory utilization and increased restructuring charges.

~~Our operating~~Operating income was ~~$90.5~~$112.8 million for the ~~three months ended September 29, 2018~~second quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to operating income of ~~$49.6~~$90.5 million for the ~~three months ended September 30, 2017,~~second quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase was primarily due to ~~higher revenue, improved gross margin and~~ lower operating ~~expenses.~~expenses, partially offset by lower revenue.


•	Capital expenditures decreased to $38.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to $70.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Our capital expenditures in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were primarily strategic investments in premium filter capacity and gallium nitride ("GaN") technology capabilities.

During the second quarter of fiscal ~~2019, we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $48.8 million.~~

Diluted net income per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $0.25 as compared to $0.27 for the second quarter of fiscal 2018. This year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the loss on debt extinguishment recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

~~Cash flow from operations was $214.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $219.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018.~~

~~Capital expenditures were $70.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to $67.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018.~~

During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we received a Section 19B incentive grant in Singapore which allows us to retroactively amortize $124.2 million of previously non-deductible payments made in prior years.

~~During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we completed the purchase of $436.4 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.00% senior notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes").~~

~~During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we redeemed the remaining $15.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.75% senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes").~~

~~During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we completed an offering of~~ ~~$630.0 million~~ ~~aggregate principal amount of our~~ ~~5.50%~~ ~~senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes").~~

~~During the second quarter of fiscal 2019,~~2020, we repurchased approximately ~~1.1~~2.3 million shares of our common stock for approximately ~~$86.7~~$165.0 million.

Revenue ~~increased~~decreased for the three ~~and six~~ months ended September ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019, as compared to the three ~~and six~~ months ended September ~~30, 2017,~~29, 2018, primarily due to ~~higher~~lower shipments of our mobile products and base station products to Huawei as well as lower demand for our ~~cellular RF solutions~~mobile products in support of our customers based in ~~China and~~China. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue resulting from higher demand for marquee smartphones experienced by our largest end customer as well as higher demand from a Korea-based customer.

Revenue was flat for the six months ended September 28, 2019, as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2018, with increased revenue resulting from higher demand for marquee smartphones experienced by our largest end customer as well as higher demand from a Korea-based customer, being offset by lower demand for our ~~base station~~mobile products in support of customers based in China.

During the six months ended September 28, 2019, we temporarily suspended shipments of products to Huawei after the Bureau of Industry and ~~Wi-Fi products.~~Security ("BIS") of the U.S. Department of Commerce added Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and over 100 of its affiliates to the BIS's Entity List. Eventually, we restarted shipments from outside the U.S. of certain foreign-made products that are not subject to the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") to Huawei in compliance with the BIS order. We have also applied for a license to ship other products that are subject to the EAR, as required by the rules governing the Entity List.

Consistent with our prior disclosure, we recognized significantly lower sales to Huawei in the three months ended September 28, 2019 (approximately 5.0% of our total revenue) as compared to the three months ended June 29, 2019 (approximately 22.0% of our total revenue).

Gross margin was flat for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018, ~~was 40.0%, as compared~~with gross margin improvements related to ~~39.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Gross margin for the six months ended September ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019 was ~~37.4%~~39.0%, as compared to 38.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to average selling price erosion, partially offset by favorable changes in product mix within our cellular RF solutions.

~~Operating Expenses~~

Research and development expense increased for the three months ended September 29, 2018, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to higher personnel related costs. Research and development expense was relatively flat for37.4% the six months ended September 29, ~~2018, as compared~~2018.

Other operating expense increased $22.2 million for the six months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to expenses related to the acquisition of Active-Semi as well as restructuring expenses. These costs were partially offset by lower start-up costs as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to a decrease in restructuring charges (primarily related to employee termination benefits and impairment charges on held for sale assets) associated with the cost reduction actions initiated in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. In addition, for the three and six months ended September 29, ~~2018, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded lower acquisition and integration related costs and start-up costs.~~2018.

Interest Expense

During the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, we recorded interest expense of $14.0 million and $27.6 million, respectively, primarily related to the 5.50% senior notes due July 15, 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), which was partially offset by $1.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of capitalized interest.

During the three and six months ended September 29, 2018, we recorded interest expense of ~~$10.9~~$11.5 million and ~~$28.0~~$29.3 million, respectively, primarily related to the 6.75% senior notes due December 1, 2023 ~~Notes,~~(the "2023 Notes"), the 7.00% senior notes due December 1, 2025 ~~Notes~~(the "2025 Notes") and the 2026 Notes, ~~(which~~which was partially offset by $1.8 million and $5.3 million of capitalized interest, respectively).

During the first half of fiscal 2019, we completed the purchase (via tender offer) of $429.2 million and $436.4 million aggregate principal amounts of our 2023 Notes and 2025 Notes, respectively, and we redeemed the remaining $15.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 2023 Notes. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 we completed the issuance of $630.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes. Collectively, compared to our long-term debt portfolio at March 31, 2018, these transactions extended the weighted-average maturity of our outstanding senior notes by an additional seventeen months and are expected to decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $25.9 million.

Other Expense

During the three and six months ended September 29, 2018, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $48.8 million and $82.2 million, respectively, ~~primarily as a result~~in connection with certain purchases of ~~our debt extinguishment activity (see Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the tender offers for~~ the 2023 Notes and the 2025 ~~Notes and the redemption of the 2023 Notes).~~Notes.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Act that instituted fundamental changes to the taxation of multinational corporations, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% which became effective as of January 1, 2018, and implemented a territorial tax system. As a result of the Tax Act, we recorded, as of March 31, 2018, a provisional tax expense of $77.3 million, which was comprised of a $116.4 million tax expense related to the one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the “Transitional Repatriation Tax”), offset by a provisional deferred tax benefit of $39.1 million from the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019, provisional amounts continue to be recorded because certain information related to the computation of earnings and profits, distributable reserves, non-U.S. income taxes paid, and foreign exchange gains and losses related to wholly owned subsidiaries are still being gathered and analyzed; information related to non-wholly owned subsidiaries is not available; and there is evolving information and guidance from federal and state taxing authorities regarding the application and interpretation of the recently enacted legislation. In accordance with current SEC guidance, the Company will finalize its provisional estimates for the impact of the Tax Act in the reporting period in which the accounting is completed, which will not exceed one year from the date of enactment of the Tax Act.

While as of September 29, 2018 the Company has not completed the accounting for any of the tax effects of tax reform described above, in the first two quarters of fiscal 2019 we recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $15.9 million related to our fiscal 2018 estimated provisional tax expense. This was comprised of an $11.6 million reduction in the provisional Transitional Repatriation Tax and a $4.3 million increase in U.S. deferred tax assets. In addition, provisional amounts are recorded for the impact of the new GILTI and limitations on compensation provisions enacted by the Tax Act, which both became effective for the Company in fiscal 2019. The GILTI provisions result in certain income earned by foreign subsidiaries currently being included in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder.

Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended September ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019 and September ~~30, 2017~~29, 2018 was calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) ~~to year-to-date income (loss) to determine the amounts~~ for those respective periods.

For the three and six months ended September ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $19.0 million and ~~September 30, 2017.~~

$24.7 million, respectively, which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income and the reversal of the permanent reinvestment assertion with regards to unrepatriated foreign earnings, offset by a tax benefit related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses and domestic tax credits. For the three and six months ended September 29, 2018, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.8 million and income tax benefit of $31.4 million, respectively, which was comprised primarily of tax benefit related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses, a tax ~~benefit related to the~~incentive granted in Singapore and adjustments in the provisional estimates required by the Tax ~~Act estimates,~~Cuts and ~~tax benefit related to the Singapore tax incentive granted during the second quarter,~~Jobs Act, offset by a tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, income tax benefit was $0.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively, which was comprised primarily of tax benefit related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses and tax benefit from the adoption of new accounting guidance related to stock compensation, partially offset by tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income and tax expense, for the six months only, from the adoption of new accounting guidance related to intra-entity transfers of assets.

A valuation allowance remained against certain domestic and foreign net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will not be realized.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we determined that we could no longer support a permanent reinvestment position on certain earnings previously subject to U.S. federal taxation at our foreign subsidiaries. This change was primarily a result of future cash flow projections outside the U.S. and implementation of a more centralized approach to cash management.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity. As of September ~~29, 2018,~~28, 2019, we had working capital of approximately ~~$1,157.4~~$1,102.2 million, including ~~$557.9~~$586.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately ~~$1,402.5~~$1,249.2 million at March ~~31, 2018,~~30, 2019, including ~~$926.0~~$711.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the ~~retirement~~acquisition of ~~the 2023 Notes and 2025 Notes and the higher share repurchase activity. These amounts were~~Active-Semi. This decrease in working capital was partially offset by the ~~issuance~~$100.0 million draw on the Term Loan in the first quarter of ~~the 2026 Notes as well as an increase in accounts receivable as of September 29, 2018 as compared to March 31, 2018.~~fiscal 2020.

Our ~~$557.9~~$586.8 million of total cash and cash equivalents as of September ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019 includes approximately ~~$462.1~~$503.5 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which ~~$361.7~~$424.0 million is held by Qorvo International Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. If the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are needed in the U.S., we may be required to ~~accrue and~~ pay state income and/or foreign local withholding taxes to ~~repatriate. Under our current plans, we may~~ repatriate ~~the foreign earnings of Qorvo International Pte. Ltd. and expect to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings of our other foreign subsidiaries.~~these earnings.

Stock Repurchases

During the six months ended September ~~29, 2018,~~28, 2019, we repurchased approximately ~~2.3~~3.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately ~~$186.7~~$265.1 million under ~~the current and prior~~our share repurchase ~~programs.~~program. As of September ~~29, 2018, $849.2~~28, 2019, $132.8 million ~~remains~~remained available for repurchases under the program.

On October 31, 2019, we announced that our ~~current~~Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program. See Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the new share repurchase program.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities for the six months ended September ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019 generated cash of ~~$289.8~~$430.5 million, compared to ~~$323.5~~$289.8 million for the six months ended September ~~30, 2017. This year-over-year decrease was~~29, 2018, primarily due to favorable changes in working ~~capital. Working~~ capital ~~was impacted~~driven by ~~increased accounts receivable resulting from higher revenue generated~~improvements in days sales outstanding as well as the timing of sales during the ~~last~~six months ~~of the second quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2018.~~ended September 28, 2019.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $387.3 million for the six months ended September 28, 2019, compared to $132.8 million for the six months ended September 29, 2018, compared to $215.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017. Capital expenditures decreased $78.6 million for the six months ended September 29, 2018, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to ~~higher capital expenditures incurred in~~ the ~~first half~~acquisition of ~~fiscal 2018 in support of our premium filter capacity.~~Active-Semi.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $166.3 million for the six months ended September 28, 2019, compared to $523.0 million for the six months ended September 29, ~~2018, compared to $80.1 million for~~2018. During the six months ended September ~~30, 2017. This year-over-year increase was primarily due to~~29, 2018, cash disbursed in connection with the retirement of all of the 2023 Notes and a majority of the 2025 Notes ~~and higher share repurchase activity in the six months ended September 29, 2018. The increase~~ was partially offset by ~~the~~cash proceeds received from the issuance of the 2026 ~~Notes in~~Notes. During the six months ended September ~~29, 2018.~~28, 2019, we drew $100.0 million on our Term Loan.

We used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering of the 2026 Notes to fund the tender offers for the 2025 Notes and to pay related fees and expenses of the offering and will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes."2026 Notes").

Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable on October 15 and April 15 of each year at a rate of 4.375% per annum.

See Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the 2029 Notes.

Credit AgreementOn December 5, 2017, we and the Guarantors entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender, and L/C issuer, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). On the same date, in connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement, we terminated our prior credit agreement, dated April 7, 2015. ~~On June 5, 2018, we and the Guarantors entered into the First Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Credit Agreement.~~

The Credit Agreement includes a senior delayed draw term loan of up to $400.0 million (the "Term Loan") and a $300.0 million revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility", together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facility"). On the closing date, $100.0 million of the Term Loan was funded, and this amount was subsequently repaid in March 2018. ~~The remainder~~On June 17, 2019, we drew $100.0 million of the Term Loan, iswith the remaining $200.0 million available, at our discretion, in upa final draw. Subsequent amendments to ~~two draws. The Amendment,~~the Credit Agreement have, among other things, extended the delayed draw availability period ~~from June 5, 2018~~ to ~~January 3,~~December 31, 2019. The Revolving Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. We may request at any time that the Credit Facility be increased up to $300.0 million. The Credit Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. Outstanding amounts are due in full on the maturity date of December 5, 2022 (with amounts borrowed under the swing line option due in full no later than ten business days after such loan is made). ~~We had~~During the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, there were no ~~outstanding amounts~~borrowings under the ~~Credit Facility as of~~Revolving Facility. Interest paid on the Term Loan during the three and six months ended September ~~29, 2018.~~28, 2019 was $0.9 million.

The Credit Agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which we must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default. As of September ~~29, 2018,~~28, 2019, we were in compliance with all the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Credit Agreement.

Capital Commitments At September ~~29, 2018,~~28, 2019, we had capital commitments of approximately ~~$104.2~~$52.2 million primarily for projects related to ~~projects to increase our~~GaN technology capabilities, premium filter capacity ~~projects for~~and manufacturing cost savings initiatives, as well as for equipment replacements and general corporate purposes.

Future Sources of Funding Our future capital requirements may differ materially from those currently anticipated and will depend on many factors, including ~~but not limited to,~~ market acceptance of and demand for our products, acquisition opportunities, technological advances and our relationships with suppliers and customers. Based on current and projected levels of cash flow from operations, coupled with our existing cash and cash equivalents and our Credit Facility, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet both our short-term and long-term cash requirements. However, if there is a significant decrease in demand for our products, or in the event that growth is faster than we anticipate, operating cash flows may be insufficient to meet our needs. If existing resources and cash from operations are not sufficient to meet our future requirements or if we perceive conditions to be favorable, we may seek additional debt or equity financing. We cannot be sure that any additional equity or debt financing will not be dilutive to holders of our common stock. Further, we cannot be sure that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Legal We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business that have not been fully adjudicated. These actions, when finally concluded and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Taxes We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and foreign tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of revenues and expenses in different jurisdictions. Additionally, the amount of taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are subject to audits by tax authorities. While we endeavor to comply with all applicable tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law than we do or that we will comply in all respects with applicable tax laws, which could result in additional taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from tax audits will not have an adverse effect on our results of operations in the period during which the review is conducted.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures during the second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March ~~31, 2018~~30, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of such date, to enable the Company to record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information that the Company is required to disclose in its Exchange Act reports, and to accumulate and communicate such information to management, including the Company’s CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September ~~29, 2018~~28, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March ~~31, 2018,~~30, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March ~~31, 2018~~30, 2019 are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Under this program, share repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
