1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On February 22, 2014, RF Micro Devices, Inc. ("RFMD") and TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. ("TriQuint") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as subsequently amended on July 15, 2014, the "Merger Agreement") providing for the business combination of RFMD and TriQuint ("Business Combination") under a new holding company named Qorvo, Inc. (formerly named Rocky Holding, Inc.) ("Qorvo"). The Business Combination closing was effective on January 1, 2015 (fourth quarter of fiscal 2015). For financial reporting and accounting purposes, RFMD was the acquirer of TriQuint. The results presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") reflect those of RFMD prior to the completion of the Business Combination with TriQuint on January 1, 2015 and those of Qorvo subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination. As used herein, all references to "the Company," "we," "us" and "our" prior to January 1, 2015 refer to RFMD and all such references on or after January 1, 2015 refer to Qorvo.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 Qorvo’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015.
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.
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 2016 is a 53-week year and fiscal 2015 was a 52-week year, however, the first quarters of both fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 included 13 weeks.
2. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective January 1, 2015, the Company effected a one-for-four reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. All share and per share information contained in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the MD&A have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Numerator for basic and diluted net income per share — net income available to common stockholders | $ | 2,036 | $ | 38,647 | ||||
Denominator: | ||||||||

Basic net income per share | $ | 0.01 | $ | 0.54 | ||||
Diluted net income per share | $ | 0.01 | $ | 0.52 |
In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, outstanding stock options to purchase less than 0.1 million shares were excluded because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 28, 2014 does not assume the conversion of the Company’s previously issued $175 million initial aggregate principal amount of convertible subordinated notes (the "2014 Notes"). The 2014 Notes became due on April 15, 2014, and the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million was paid with cash on hand.

4. DEBT
Credit Agreement
On April 7, 2015, the Company and certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), swing line lender, and L/C issuer, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. The Company may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $150.0 million. The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. The Company currently has no outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement.
At the Company’s option, loans under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest at (i) the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Applicable Rate plus a rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of the Administrative Agent, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). All swingline loans will bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus the Base Rate. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, as published by Bloomberg, for dollar deposits for interest periods of one, two, three or six months, as selected by the Company. The Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate loans ranges from 1.50% per annum to 2.00% per annum. The Applicable Rate for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.50% per annum to 1.00% per annum. Interest for Eurodollar Rate loans shall be payable at the end of each applicable interest period or at three-month intervals, if such interest period exceeds three months. Interest for Base Rate loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears. The Company will pay a letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable Rate multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under any letter of credit, a fronting fee, and any customary documentary and processing charges for any letter of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which the Company must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default, including financial covenants that the Company must maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company and a consolidated interest coverage ratio not to be less than 3.00 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, and the occurrence of an event of default will increase the applicable rate of interest by 2.00% and could result in the termination of commitments under the revolving credit facility, the declaration that all outstanding loans are due and payable in whole or in part and the requirement of cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit. Outstanding amounts are due in full on the maturity date of April 7, 2020 (with amounts borrowed under the swingline option due in full no later than ten business days after such loan is made).
Convertible Debt
In April 2007, the Company issued $175 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% convertible subordinated notes due 2014 These notes became due on April 15, 2014, and the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million plus interest of $0.4 million was paid with cash on hand.
5. INCOME TAXES
Income Tax Expense
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 has been 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) for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014.
The Company’s income tax expense was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and $7.4 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.5% for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and 16.1% for the three months ended June 28, 2014. The Company's effective tax rate for both the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and the first quarter of fiscal 2015 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities, adjustments to the valuation

allowance limiting the recognition of the benefit of domestic deferred tax assets, changes in uncertain tax position exposure, and the domestic production activity deduction.
Deferred Taxes
The valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets has increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 by $1.4 million from the $13.8 million balance as of the end of fiscal 2015, with the change primarily arising from an increase in domestic deferred tax assets related to domestic state tax credits. 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.
The Company has outstanding domestic federal and state tax net operating loss (“NOLs”) carry-forwards that expire in fiscal years 2016 to 2035 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 tax provisions.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased from $59.4 million as of the end of fiscal 2015 to $58.9 million as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2016, with the change arising from a $0.2 million increase related to tax positions taken with respect to the current fiscal year and a $0.7 million decrease related to tax positions taken with respect to prior fiscal years.

Other Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments.
7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability's carrying value, which is consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Due to the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to revolving debt arrangements, the Company will continue to capitalize such costs as an asset and amortize them ratably over the term of the revolving debt arrangement.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09") that amends existing guidance on revenue recognition. The new guidance is based on principles that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows and both qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers and applied significant judgments. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for the adoption of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Early adoption is permissible but not before its original effective date of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new authoritative guidance will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, using one of two retrospective methods of adoption. The Company has not determined which method it will adopt and is evaluating the effects the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
8. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s operating segments as of June 27, 2015 are Mobile Products (MP) and Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company renamed its reportable segments from Cellular Products Group (CPG) to MP, and Multi-Market Products Group (MPG) to IDP, as a result of the Business Combination. Additionally, the chief operating decision maker (CODM) elected to discontinue reporting Compound Semiconductor Group (CSG) as an operating segment.
MP is a leading global supplier of radio frequency (RF) solutions that perform various functions in the cellular radio front end section of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. These RF solutions are required for devices that operate under 4G, Wi-Fi and other communications standards. These solutions include various discrete RF components and module configurations, including complete RF front end modules that combine high-performance filters, power amplifiers and switches into single placement solutions.
IDP is a leading global supplier of a broad array of RF solutions to wireless network infrastructure, defense and aerospace markets and short-range connectivity applications for commercial, consumer, industrial and automotive markets. IDP’s solutions include high power gallium arsenide ("GaAs") and gallium nitride ("GaN") components and various multichip and hybrid assemblies.
As of June 27, 2015, MP and IDP are separate reportable segments based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company's CODM, and are managed separately based on the end markets and applications they support. The CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment primarily based on non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of revenue.
The “All other” category includes operating expenses such as stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition and integration related costs, intellectual property rights (IPR) litigation costs, restructuring and disposal costs, certain consulting costs, 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
13

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
Company’s CODM. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. The Company’s operating segments do not record inter-company 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.
The following tables present details of the Company’s reportable segments and a reconciliation of the “All other” category (in thousands):

9. BUSINESS ACQUISITION
Effective January 1, 2015, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, RFMD and TriQuint completed a strategic combination of their respective businesses through the “merger of equals” Business Combination under a new holding company named Qorvo, Inc.
As a result of the Business Combination, RFMD and TriQuint have combined complementary product portfolios, featuring power amplifiers (PAs), power management integrated circuits (PMICs), antenna control solutions, switch-based products and premium filters, to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance mobile solutions. It is expected that the Business
14
QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
Combination will continue to strengthen the combined company’s service to the infrastructure and defense/aerospace industries and enable advanced gallium nitride (GaN) solutions for additional markets and applications. It is also expected that customers will benefit from new scale advantages in manufacturing and research and development, as well as an aggressive roadmap of new products and technologies.
The total estimated purchase price was approximately $5,254.4 million. The allocation of the purchase price reflected in the accompanying financial statements is preliminary and is based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date pursuant to ASC 805). The measurement period remains open pending the completion of procedures related to deferred taxes.
The Business Combination resulted in the recognition of $470.0 million of in-process research and development (IPRD) of which $350.0 million relates to the MP operating segment and $120.0 million relates to the IDP operating segment. The IPRD encompasses a broad technology portfolio of product innovations in RF applications for MP and IDP. These technologies include a variety of semiconductor processes in GaAs and GaN for power and switching applications and surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) structures for filter applications. Included in IPRD are continuous improvements in the process for design and manufacturing as well as innovation in fundamental research areas such as materials, simulation and modeling, circuit design, device packaging and test. As of June 27, 2015, the IPRD for the MP operating segment was 58% complete with an estimated completion time of approximately 9 months and a remaining cost to complete of approximately $25.2 million. As of June 27, 2015, the IPRD associated with the IDP operating segment was 77% complete with an estimated completion time of approximately 6 months and a remaining cost to complete of approximately $33.9 million. Upon completion of the development, acquired IPRD assets will be transferred to finite-lived intangible assets and amortized over their useful lives.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company incurred integration costs of approximately $10.4 million and restructuring costs of approximately $2.9 million (including stock-based compensation) associated with the Business Combination. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $2.5 million and integration costs of $6.0 million associated with the Business Combination.
The acquisition, integration and restructuring costs are being expensed as incurred and are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as "Other operating expense."
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On August 4, 2015, Qorvo's wholly-owned subsidiary TriQuint invested $25.0 million to acquire shares of Series F Preferred Stock of Cavendish Kinetics Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Cavendish”). In connection with this investment, TriQuint, Cavendish and certain Cavendish shareholders and option holders entered into an agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) under which Cavendish and certain of its shareholders and option holders granted TriQuint the exclusive option and right, but not the obligation, to acquire the entire issued capital of Cavendish on the terms and conditions in the Acquisition Agreement. TriQuint may exercise the option at any time until the earlier of: (i) 60 days after Cavendish’s pre-production release of a specified product and (ii) June 30, 2017, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. This option period may be extended until June 30, 2018 under certain conditions, including an additional investment in Cavendish by TriQuint of up to $25.0 million.
The purchase price for Cavendish would be determined based upon a total valuation of Cavendish on a debt-free, cash-free basis, equal to $300.0 million, plus an amount equal to 4.5 times Cavendish’s annualized legacy product revenue (with a proportionate reduction to reflect TriQuint’s ownership in Cavendish at the time of purchase). The Acquisition Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the parties.

OVERVIEW
Company
On February 22, 2014, RF Micro Devices, Inc. (“RFMD”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, (as subsequently amended on July 15, 2014, the "Merger Agreement"), with TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. ("TriQuint") providing for the combination of RFMD and TriQuint in a merger of equals ("Business Combination") under a new holding company named Qorvo, Inc. (the “Company” or “Qorvo”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on January 1, 2015, and as a result, TriQuint's results of operations are included in Qorvo's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the quarter ended June 27, 2015.
For financial reporting and accounting purposes, RFMD was the acquirer of TriQuint in the Business Combination. Unless otherwise noted, “we,” “our” or "us” in this report refers to RFMD and its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Business Combination and to Qorvo and its subsidiaries after the closing of the Business Combination.
The following MD&A is intended to help the reader understand the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of Qorvo. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
We are a leading provider of core technologies and radio frequency (“RF”) solutions for mobile, infrastructure and defense and aerospace applications. We have more than 6,700 global employees dedicated to delivering solutions for everything that connects the world. Our design and manufacturing expertise encompasses many semiconductor process technologies, which we source both internally and through external suppliers. We operate worldwide with our design, sales and manufacturing facilities located in Asia, Europe and North America.
We design, develop, manufacture and market our products to leading U.S. and international original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and original design manufacturers ("ODMs") in the following operating segments:
• | Mobile Products (MP) - MP is a leading global supplier of RF solutions that perform various functions in the cellular radio front end section of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. These RF solutions are required for devices that operate under 4G, Wi-Fi and other communications standards. These solutions include various discrete RF components and module configurations, including complete RF front end modules that combine high-performance filters, power amplifiers and switches into single placement solutions. |
17
• | Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP) - IDP is a leading global supplier of a broad array of RF solutions to wireless network infrastructure, defense and aerospace markets and short-range connectivity applications for commercial, consumer, industrial and automotive markets. IDP’s solutions include high power gallium arsenide ("GaAs") and gallium nitride ("GaN") components and various multichip and hybrid assemblies. |
As of June 27, 2015, our reportable segments are MP and IDP. These business segments are based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (or CODM), and are managed separately based on the end markets and applications they support. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of each operating segment primarily based on operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue. In connection with the Business Combination, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 we renamed our Cellular Products Group (CPG) operating segment as MP and our Multi-Market Products Group (MPG) operating segment as IDP. Additionally, the CODM elected to discontinue reporting Compound Semiconductor Group (CSG) as an operating segment (see Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding our operating segments).
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2016 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
• | Quarterly revenue increased 113.0% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2015, primarily due to the inclusion of TriQuint revenue in the three months ended June 27, 2015 as well as increased demand for our cellular RF solutions for smartphones. |
• | Gross margin for the quarter was 41.5% as compared to 45.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. This decrease was primarily due to costs related to the Business Combination (including intangible amortization and stock-based compensation) and average selling price erosion. This decrease was partially offset by manufacturing and sourcing-related cost reductions. |
• | Operating loss was $1.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to operating income of $46.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. This decrease was primarily due to costs related to the Business Combination (including intangible amortization and stock-based compensation), which was partially offset by increased revenue and manufacturing and sourcing-related cost reductions. |
• | Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $0.01 as compared to $0.52 for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 after giving retroactive effect to the one-for-four reverse stock split related to the Business Combination. |
• | Cash flow from operations was $141.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to $36.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to improved profitability exclusive of non-cash Business Combination expenses. |
• | Capital expenditures were $89.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to $9.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. This year-over-year increase was primarily related to projects for increasing manufacturing capacity. |
• | During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of our common stock for approximately $50.0 million. |
• | During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded merger-related expenses, integration costs and restructuring expenses totaling $13.3 million related to the Business Combination. We expect merger and integrated-related expenses associated with the Business Combination to decrease in future periods. |

Revenue increased for the three months ended June 27, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2014, primarily due to the inclusion of TriQuint revenue in the three months ended June 27, 2015. IDP’s revenue and operating income for the quarter ended June 27, 2015 were adversely impacted by lower global demand for wireless infrastructure products, which is currently expected to continue in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment operating income to the consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014.

Other Income
During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we sold equity securities and recognized a gain of approximately $4.0 million.
Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 has been 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) for the three months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014.
Income tax expense was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 27, 2015, which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book income offset by a tax benefit related to international operations generating pre-tax book losses. Income tax expense was $7.4 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014, which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to domestic and international operations offset by a tax benefit related to changes in the domestic deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as of June 27, 2015 increased by $1.4 million from the $13.8 million balance as of the end of fiscal 2015, with the change primarily arising from an increase in domestic deferred tax assets related to state tax credits. 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.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have funded our operations to date through revenue from product sales, sales of equity and debt securities, bank borrowings and capital equipment leases. As of June 27, 2015, we had working capital of approximately $1,244.5 million, including $325.6 million in cash and cash equivalents ($224.3 million was received from TriQuint in the Business Combination), compared to working capital of approximately $377.9 million at June 28, 2014, including $97.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Working capital increased year-over-year primarily due to the Business Combination.
Our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $558.4 million as of June 27, 2015. This balance includes approximately $134.1 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds held by our foreign subsidiaries are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. However, under our current plans, we expect to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and do not expect to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.
On February 5, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock, exclusive of related fees, commissions or other expenses. Repurchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, and the program may be discontinued at any time. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of our common stock for approximately $50.0 million.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities for the three months ended June 27, 2015 generated cash of $141.4 million, compared to $36.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014. This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to improved profitability exclusive of non-cash Business Combination expenses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 27, 2015 was $75.1 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $29.4 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014. This change was primarily due to higher capital expenditures for the three months ended June 27, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2014. This increase in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by increased proceeds from maturities of available-for-sale securities for the three months ended June 27, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 28, 2014.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $40.5 million for the three months ended June 27, 2015, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $81.2 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014. Net cash used in financing activities was higher during the three months ended June 28, 2014 as we paid the $87.5 million remaining principal balance of the 2014 Notes. During the three months ended June 27, 2015, we repurchased 0.6 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $83.10 on the open market.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Credit Agreement On April 7, 2015, we and certain of our material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), swing line lender, and L/C issuer, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. We may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $150.0 million. The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. We currently have no outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement.
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, including financial covenants that we must maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and a consolidated interest coverage ratio not to be less than 3.00 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. At June 27, 2015, we were in full compliance with these covenants.
Capital Commitments At June 27, 2015, we had capital commitments of approximately $87.9 million primarily related to projects for increasing manufacturing capacity.
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 our products, volume pricing concessions, capital improvements, demand for our products, 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 revolving 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 had anticipated, 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 litigation and other legal proceedings 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 first quarter of fiscal 2016. 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 28, 2015.
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 and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
On January 1, 2015, the Business Combination was consummated between RFMD and TriQuint. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company has incorporated internal controls over significant processes specific to TriQuint and the Business Combination that it believes to be appropriate and necessary in consideration of the level of related integration. As the Company further integrates the TriQuint business, it will continue to review the internal controls and may take further steps to ensure that the internal controls are effective and integrated appropriately.
Except for the paragraph above, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 27, 2015 that has materially affected, or is 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 28, 2015, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.

discontinued at any time. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. Pursuant to this authorization, during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 we repurchased 601,697 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $83.10 for a total cost of approximately $50.0 million. At June 27, 2015, approximately $100.0 million remains available for future repurchases under this authorization.
