(Unaudited)


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, 201830, 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 20182019 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 20192020 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 20192020 and 20182019 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 August 2018,February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." The new guidance clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. The Company intends to adopt the guidance, prospectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and does not expect any significant impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued 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 recognizethat 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.  Also, in July 2018,equal to the FASB issued 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements," to provide clarification on specific topics, including adoption guidance and practical expedients.present value of the related future minimum lease payments. The Company plans to adoptadopted the new guidance utilizingstandard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, using the modified retrospective method and willapproach which permits lessees to recognize any cumulative effecta cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings atto the beginningopening 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 also plans to electelected the transition package of three practical expedients, that permitsunder which the Company does not have to maintain its historical conclusions about lease identification,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 and non-lease components for substantially all of its classes of leases and to account for the combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. In addition, the Company made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet.

The adoption of 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.

(Unaudited)




for leases that exist at the date of adoption.  Currently, the Company is assessing the other available practical expedients for potential adoption.  The guidance will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.  The Company expects the valuation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, for leases previously described as operating leases, to be the present value of its forecasted future lease commitments, 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. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the assessment of valuation allowances when recognizing deferred tax assets 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 and there was no material 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.

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. 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:

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

8. REVENUE

Adoption of 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 products 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.

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,

QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)




including distributors. A majority of these rebates are accrued and classified as a contra accounts receivable, and represent less than 5% of net revenue. 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.9. REVENUE

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 upon completion of the performance obligation and subsequent invoicing. Substantially all payments are collected within the Company’s standard terms, which do not include any 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 December 29, 2018, the Company had $34.7 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 Operations. 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 Operations.

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 Operations) 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.

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 10)11).


9.10. 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, in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recorded impairmentexpects to record total restructuring charges of $14.9approximately $95.0 million, (to adjust the carrying value of certain of its property and equipment to reflect its fair value) andincluding accelerated depreciation of $3.1$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 “All other” category includes operating expenses such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration related costs, restructuring costs, start-up costs, asset impairment and accelerated depreciation, (loss) gain on assets, and other miscellaneous corporate overhead expenses that the Company does not allocate to its reportable segments because these expenses are not included in the segment operating performance measures evaluated by the Company’s CODM. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. The Company’s operating segments do not record intercompany revenue. The Company does not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Except as discussed above regarding the “All other” category, the Company’s accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

11.12. 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 included 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”). During

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


the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed its analysis within the measurement period provided by SAB 118, and the adjustments during this measurement period have been included in net earnings from operations as an adjustment to income tax expense.

As described in Note 12 Income Taxes in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company was 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. For the nine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company made a $17.7 million SAB 118 measurement period adjustment consisting of a $2.6 million reduction in the tax expense related to the previously recorded provisional amount for the Transitional Repatriation Tax and a $15.1 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 adjustments related to the potential GILTI impact on deferred taxes have been recorded as the Company made its accounting policy choice during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 to treat taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost 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) before taxes.


Income Tax Expense
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and ninesix months ended DecemberSeptember 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 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-

tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) to year-to-date income (loss) to determine the amounts for the three and ninesix months ended DecemberSeptember 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017.2018.


The Company’s income tax expense was $1.4$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 $30.0$31.4 million, for the three and ninesix months ended DecemberSeptember 29, 2018, respectively, and the Company's income tax expense was $98.5 million and $88.6 million for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 1.9%18.6% and (72.2)%16.8% for the three and ninesix months ended December 29, 2018,September 28, 2019, respectively, and 150.6%2.3% and 145.7%107.1% for the three and ninesix months ended December 30, 2017,September 29, 2018, respectively.


The Company's effective tax rate for the three and ninesix months ended DecemberSeptember 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 Repatriationone-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries enacted in the Tax Cuts and for the nine months only,Jobs Act and a discrete tax benefits of $8.3 millionbenefit resulting from a retroactive incentive allowing previously non-deductible payments to be amortized andamortized.

Management has concluded that it can no longer support an assertion that certain earnings which have previously been subject to U.S. federal taxation at its foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested. During the SAB 118 increase in U.S deferred tax assets. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to a net discrete provisional tax expense of $95.9 million resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act, tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, foreign permanent differences, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, changes in unrecognized tax benefits, a discrete tax benefit for excess stock compensation deductions in accordance with ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (adopted in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2018),2020, the Company updated forecasts of cash balances and forcash flow outside the nine months only,U.S. and began to implement a more centralized approach to cash management. As a result, the Company recorded $4.0 million discrete tax expense associated with intra-entity transfers in accordance with ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" (adopted induring the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2018).

Deferred Taxes
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.

2020. The Company has domestic federal and state tax net operating loss ("NOL") and credit carry-forwards that expirehad previously released in fiscal years 2019 to 2038 if unused. The use of the NOLs that were acquired in prior year acquisitions is subject to certain annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state income tax provisions.

Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased from $122.8 million as of the end of fiscal 2018 to $116.4 million as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to lapses of statutes of limitations and the impact of the Tax Act reduction2018 its permanent reinvestment assertion on its operating subsidiary in tax rates.Singapore, Qorvo International Pte.

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.

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.

Revenue decreased for the three months ended December 29, 2018September 28, 2019, as compared to the three months ended December 30, 2017,September 29, 2018, primarily due to lower shipments of our mobile products and base station products to Huawei as well as lower demand for our cellular RF solutions in support of our largest end customer and our customers based in Asia, partially offset by higher demand for our base station products. Revenue increased for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, as compared to the nine months ended December 30, 2017, primarily due to higher demand for our cellular RF solutionsmobile products in support of our customers based in ChinaChina. 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 stationmobile 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.


Gross margin forConsistent with our prior disclosure, we recognized significantly lower sales to Huawei in the three months ended December 29, 2018 was 40.7%, as compared to 39.8% for the three months ended December 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to favorable changes in product mix, partially offset by lower factory utilization inSeptember 28, 2019 (approximately 5.0% of our SAW wafer fabrication facilities.

Gross margin was flat for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, as compared to the nine months ended December 30, 2017, with favorable changes in product mix within our cellular RF solutions being offset by lower factory utilization in our SAW wafer fabrication facilities.

Gross margin was flat for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018, with gross margin improvements related to lower intangible amortization expense and favorable changes in product mix being offset by lower factory utilization and increased restructuring charges.

Gross margin for the six months ended September 28, 2019 was 39.0%, as compared to 37.4% the six months ended September 29, 2018. This increase was primarily due to lower intangible amortization expense, favorable changes in product mix and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by increased restructuring charges, average selling price erosion and lower factory utilization.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expense was relatively flat for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018, with lower product development spend being partially offset by the addition of Active-Semi expenses. Research and development expense increased $6.9 million, or 3.0%, for the six months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to higher personnel related costs. Researchcosts and development expense increased for the nine months ended December 29, 2018, as compared to the nine months ended December 30, 2017, primarily due to higher personnel related costs,addition of Active-Semi expenses, partially offset by the timing oflower product development spend.


Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $51.2 million, or 36.7%, for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018,September 28, 2019 as compared to the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, withSeptember 29, 2018, primarily due to lower intangible amortization.

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. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, in accordance with current SEC guidance, we finalized our accounting for the impact of the Tax Act within the SAB 118 measurement period of one year from the date of enactment of the Tax Act.

As of December 29, 2018, we completed accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act described above, and in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019, we recorded discrete income tax benefits of $17.7 million related to our fiscal 2018 estimated

provisional tax expense, consisting of $2.6 million to reduce the tax expense related to the previously recorded provisional amount for the Transitional Repatriation Tax and a $15.1 million increase in U.S. deferred tax assets. In addition, the new GILTI and limitations on compensation provisions enacted by the Tax Act became effective for the Company in fiscal 2019 and have been accounted for in the calculation of current year taxes. The GILTI provisions result in income earned by certain foreign subsidiaries being included in the gross income of its direct and indirect U.S. shareholders.

Our provision for income taxes for the three and ninesix months ended DecemberSeptember 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 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 the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017.those respective periods.


For the three and ninesix months ended December 29, 2018,September 28, 2019, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.4$19.0 million and income tax benefit of $30.0$24.7 million, respectively, which was comprised primarily of tax benefitsexpense 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 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 incentive granted in Singapore and adjustments in the provisional estimates required by the Tax Act estimatesCuts and a 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 nine months ended December 30, 2017, we had income tax expense of $98.5 million and $88.6 million, respectively, which was comprised primarily of tax expenses related to the Transitional Repatriation Tax, international operations generating pre-tax book income and the adoption of new accounting guidance related to intra-entity transfers of assets, offset by tax benefits from a provisional remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities for the decrease in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% upon enactment of the Tax Act, domestic operations generating pre-tax book losses and, for the nine months only, tax benefit from the adoption of new accounting guidance related to stock compensation.


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 December 29, 2018,September 28, 2019, we had working capital of approximately $1,201.6$1,102.2 million, including $649.7$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 retirementacquisition of the 2023 Notes and a majority of the 2025 Notes. These amounts wereActive-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 December 29, 2018 as compared to March 31, 2018.fiscal 2020.


Our $649.7$586.8 million of total cash and cash equivalents as of December 29, 2018September 28, 2019 includes approximately $603.7$503.5 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $476.7$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 these earnings. 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.


Stock Repurchases
During the ninesix months ended December 29, 2018,September 28, 2019, we repurchased approximately 4.63.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately $338.7$265.1 million under the current and priorour share repurchase programs.program.

On the closing date, $100.0 million of the Term Loan was funded, and this amount was subsequently repaid in March 2018.

Interest paid on the Term Loan during the three and six months ended September 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 December 29, 2018,September 28, 2019, we were in compliance with all the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Capital Commitments At December 29, 2018,September 28, 2019, we had capital commitments of approximately $89.0$52.2 million primarily for projects related to projects to increase ourGaN technology capabilities, premium filter capacity projects forand 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.
