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 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 2020 and 2019 are 52-week years.

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 30, 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," with multiple amendments subsequently issued. The new guidance requires that lease arrangements be presented on the lessee's balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the related future minimum lease payments. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 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 elected the transition package of practical expedients, under which the 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 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.

4. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

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 (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 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 28, 2019 is expected to 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 well as other acquisition and integration related costs during the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 of $1.7 million and $23.0 million, respectively, in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, the Company recorded acquisition and integration related costs during the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 of $3.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively, in "Cost of goods sold" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The fair value of the financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis was determined using the following levels of inputs as of September 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019 (in thousands):



				Total		Quoted Prices In Active Markets For Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)

		Marketable equity securities		901		901		—
		Auction rate securities (2)		1,950		—		1,950

			Total liabilities measured at fair value	$	18,737	$	18,737	$	—

(1) The Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan provides eligible employees and members of the Board of Directors with the opportunity to defer a specified percentage of their cash compensation. The Company includes the assets deferred by the participants in the “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” line items of its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company's obligation to deliver the deferred compensation in the "Other current liabilities" and “Other long-term liabilities” line items of its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) The Company's Level 2 auction rate securities were debt instruments with interest rates that reset through periodic short-term auctions and were valued based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that were not active. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company sold its auction rate securities at par value.

As of September 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019, the Company did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Equity Investment Without a Readily Determinable Fair Value

As of September 28, 2019, the Company has invested $60.0 million to acquire preferred shares of Cavendish Kinetics Limited (“Cavendish”). 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. This investment is classified in "Long-term investments" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 15 for additional disclosures related to the subsequent acquisition of the entire issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish.

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 7 for further disclosures related to the fair value of the Company's 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:



	September 28, 2019
	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
Operating lease expense	$	3,963	$	7,417
Short-term lease expense	1,187		3,152
Variable lease expense	1,181		1,595
Total lease expense	$	6,331	$	12,164

In fiscal years 2018 and 2019, the Company retired all of the issued and outstanding 2023 Notes and $526.6 million of the 2025 Notes.

Senior Notes due 2026

On July 16, 2018, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount 5.50% senior notes due 2026 (the “Initial 2026 Notes”). On August 28, 2018 and March 5, 2019, the Company issued an additional $130.0 million and $270.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of such notes (together, the "Additional 2026 Notes" and together with the Initial 2026 Notes, the "2026 Notes"). The 2026 Notes will mature on July 15, 2026, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2026 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are initially guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.

The Initial 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July 16, 2018 by and among the Company, the Guarantors and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee, and the Additional 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to supplemental indentures, dated as of August 28, 2018 and March 5, 2019, respectively (such indenture and supplemental indentures, collectively, the "2018 Indenture"). The 2018 Indenture contains customary events of default, including payment default, exchange default, failure to provide certain notices thereunder and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events and also contains customary negative covenants.

In connection with the offerings of the 2026 Notes, the Company agreed to provide the holders of the 2026 Notes with an opportunity to exchange the 2026 Notes for registered notes having terms substantially identical to the 2026 Notes. On June 25, 2019, the Company completed the exchange offer, in which all of the privately placed 2026 Notes were exchanged for new notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Interest is payable on the 2026 Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year at a rate of 5.50% per annum. Interest paid on the 2026 Notes during the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 was $24.8 million.

Credit Agreement

On December 5, 2017, the Company and the Guarantors entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement 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 senior delayed draw term loan of up to $400.0 million (the "Term Loan") and a $300.0 million senior 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 subsequently repaid in March 2018). On June 17, 2019, the Company drew $100.0 million of the Term Loan, with the remaining $200.0 million available, at the discretion of the Company, in a final draw. Subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement have, among other things, extended the delayed draw availability period to 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. The Company may request that the Credit Facility be increased by up to $300.0 million, subject to securing additional funding commitments from the existing or new lenders. The Credit Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. Outstanding amounts are due in full on the maturity date of December 5, 2022 (with amounts borrowed under the swingline option due in full no later than ten business days after such loan is made), subject to scheduled amortization of the Term Loan principal as set forth in the Credit Agreement prior to the maturity date. During the six months ended September 28, 2019, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility. 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 the Company must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default. As of September 28, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Fair Value of Debt

The Company's debt is carried at amortized cost and is measured at fair value quarterly for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes as of September 28, 2019 was $25.1 million and $954.8 million, respectively (compared to a carrying value of $23.4 million and $900.0 million, respectively). The estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes as of March 30, 2019 was $25.8 million and $929.3 million, respectively. The Company considers its debt to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments. The 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes trade over the counter, and their fair values were estimated based upon the value of their last trade at the end of the period.

The Company had no outstanding amounts under the Revolving Facility as of September 28, 2019. The Term Loan carries a variable interest rate set at current market rates, and as such, the fair value of the Term Loan approximated book value as of September 28, 2019.

Interest Expense

During the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, the Company recognized $13.6 million and $26.5 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the 2025 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the Term Loan, which was partially offset by $1.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of interest capitalized to property and equipment. During the three and six months ended September 29, 2018, the Company recognized $10.9 million and $28.0 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the 2023 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes, which was partially offset by $1.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of interest capitalized to property and equipment.

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 the prior 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 and $186.7 million, respectively.

Total revenue	$	806,698	$	884,443	$	1,582,296	$	1,577,113

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.

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.

12. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 and September 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) for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018.

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. The Company’s effective tax rate was 18.6% and 16.8% for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, respectively, and 2.3% and 107.1% for the three and six months ended September 29, 2018, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 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 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.

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 second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company updated forecasts of cash balances and cash flow outside the 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 during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company had previously released in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 its permanent reinvestment assertion on its operating subsidiary in Singapore, Qorvo International Pte. Ltd.

13. NET INCOME PER SHARE

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



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018		September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted net income per share — net income available to common stockholders	$	83,038	$	32,084	$	122,579	$	2,091
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net income per share — weighted average shares	117,294		125,643		117,945		125,859
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock-based awards	2,135		2,907		2,251		3,118
Denominator for diluted net income per share — adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions	119,429		128,550		120,196		128,977
Basic net income per share	$	0.71	$	0.26	$	1.04	$	0.02
Diluted net income per share	$	0.70	$	0.25	$	1.02	$	0.02

In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, approximately 0.4 million and 0.2 million outstanding shares, respectively, were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended September 29, 2018,

approximately 0.3 million and 0.2 million outstanding shares, respectively, were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

14. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In accordance with the applicable indentures governing the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes, the Company's obligations under the 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each Guarantor, each of which is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Qorvo, Inc. (the "Parent Company"). A Guarantor can be released in certain customary circumstances.

The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:


(i)	Parent Company, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;


(ii)	Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the applicable indenture;


(iii)	Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis;


(iv)	Consolidating entries, eliminations and reclassifications representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent Company, the Guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate intercompany profit in inventory, (c) eliminate the investments in the Company’s subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and


(v)	The Company, on a consolidated basis.

Each entity in the condensed consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and Guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries that are eliminated upon consolidation. The financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, and cash flows, had the Parent Company, Guarantor or non-guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities.

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.

OVERVIEW

Company

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("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 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Qorvo^® is a product and technology leader at the forefront of the growing global demand for always-on connectivity. We combine a broad portfolio of innovative radio frequency ("RF") solutions, highly differentiated semiconductor technologies, systems-level expertise and global manufacturing scale to supply a diverse group of customers in expanding markets, including smartphones and other mobile devices, defense and aerospace, Wi-Fi customer premises equipment, cellular base stations, and multiple Internet of Things ("IoT") applications including the smart home and connected car. Within these markets, our products enable a broad range of leading-edge applications – from very-high-power wired and wireless infrastructure solutions to ultra-low-power smart home solutions. Our products and technologies help transform how people around the world access their data, transact commerce and interact with their communities.

We design, develop, manufacture and market our products to leading U.S. and international original equipment manufacturers and original design manufacturers in the following operating segments:


•	Mobile Products (MP) - MP is a global supplier of cellular RF and Wi-Fi solutions for a variety of mobile devices, including smartphones, wearables, laptops, tablets and cellular-based applications for the IoT.

Table of Contents


•	Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP) - IDP is a global supplier of RF, system-on-a-chip and power management solutions for cellular base station, smart home, IoT and other wireless communications, defense, automotive and multiple analog power management applications.

As of September 28, 2019, 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 ("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 non-GAAP operating income (see Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding our operating segments).

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2020 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

•

Quarterly revenue decreased 8.8% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to 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 mobile products in support of our customers based in 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.


•	Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was 40.1% as compared to 40.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2019, 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.


•	Operating income was $112.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to operating income of $90.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase was primarily due to lower operating 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 2020, we repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares of our common stock for approximately $165.0 million.

Revenue decreased for the three months ended September 28, 2019, as compared to the three months ended 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 mobile products in support of our customers based in 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 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 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, 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.

Table of Contents

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 costs and the addition of Active-Semi expenses, partially offset by lower product development spend.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $51.2 million, or 36.7%, for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to lower intangible amortization. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $98.2 million, or 35.6%, for the six months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to lower intangible amortization, partially offset by higher personnel costs and the addition of Active-Semi expenses.

Other operating expense was flat for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 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 six months ended September 29, 2018.

MP revenue decreased $43.4 million, or 6.5%, for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to lower shipments to Huawei as well as lower demand for our mobile products in support of customers based in 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.

MP revenue increased $26.7 million, or 2.3%, for the six months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to 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 as well as higher demand from Huawei (which resulted from content expansion). These increases were partially offset by lower demand for our mobile products in support of customers based in China.

MP operating income as a percentage of revenue was relatively flat for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018.

Table of Contents

MP operating income increased $47.2 million, or 16.5%, for the six months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to higher gross margin, lower operating expenses and higher revenue. Gross margin was positively impacted by favorable changes in product mix and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by average selling price erosion and lower factory utilization. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to lower personnel related costs and lower product development spend.

IDP revenue decreased $34.3 million, or 15.7%, for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to lower demand for our base station products from Huawei as well as lower demand for our Wi-Fi products. These decreases were partially offset by sales of our programmable power management products as a result of the acquisition of Active-Semi.

IDP revenue decreased $21.6 million, or 5.1%, for the six months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to lower demand for our Wi-Fi products, partially offset by sales of our programmable power management products as a result of the acquisition of Active-Semi.

IDP operating income decreased $41.3 million, or 73.4%, for the three months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to lower revenue, lower gross margin and higher operating expenses. Gross margin was negatively impacted by inventory charges and lower factory utilization. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher personnel costs and the addition of Active-Semi expenses.

IDP operating income decreased $46.4 million, or 41.6%, for the six months ended September 28, 2019 as compared to the six months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to higher operating expenses, lower gross margin and lower revenue. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher personnel costs and the addition of Active-Semi expenses. Gross margin was negatively impacted by inventory charges and lower factory utilization.

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 $11.5 million and $29.3 million, respectively, primarily related to the 6.75% senior notes due December 1, 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), the 7.00% senior notes due December 1, 2025 (the "2025 Notes") and the 2026 Notes, which was partially offset by $1.8 million and $5.3 million of capitalized interest.

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, in connection with certain purchases of the 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 and September 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) for those respective periods.

For the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $19.0 million and $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 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 Cuts and Jobs Act, offset by a tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income.

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 28, 2019, we had working capital of approximately $1,102.2 million, including $586.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $1,249.2 million at March 30, 2019, including $711.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the acquisition of Active-Semi. This decrease in working capital was partially offset by the $100.0 million draw on the Term Loan in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Our $586.8 million of total cash and cash equivalents as of September 28, 2019 includes approximately $503.5 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $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 pay state income and/or foreign local withholding taxes to repatriate these earnings.

Stock Repurchases

During the six months ended September 28, 2019, we repurchased approximately 3.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately $265.1 million under our share repurchase program. As of September 28, 2019, $132.8 million remained available for repurchases under the program.

On October 31, 2019, we announced that our 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 28, 2019 generated cash of $430.5 million, compared to $289.8 million for the six months ended September 29, 2018, primarily due to favorable changes in working capital driven by improvements in days sales outstanding as well as the timing of sales during the six months 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, primarily due to the acquisition of 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. During the six months ended September 29, 2018, cash disbursed in connection with the retirement of all of the 2023 Notes and a majority of the 2025 Notes was partially offset by cash proceeds received from the issuance of the 2026 Notes. During the six months ended September 28, 2019, we drew $100.0 million on our Term Loan.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

2023 Notes and 2025 Notes On November 19, 2015, we issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. The 2023 Notes were, and the 2025 Notes are, senior unsecured obligations of the Company and guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). With respect to the 2023 Notes, interest was payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 6.75% per annum, and with respect to the 2025 Notes, interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 7.00% per annum. We paid no interest on the 2025 Notes during the three months ended September 28, 2019 and we paid interest of $0.8 million on the 2025 Notes during the six months ended September 28, 2019. Interest paid on the 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes during the three and six months ended September 29, 2018 was $7.3 million and $41.5 million, respectively.

In fiscal years 2018 and 2019, we retired all of the issued and outstanding 2023 Notes and $526.6 million of the 2025 Notes. As of September 28, 2019, an aggregate principal amount of $23.4 million of the 2025 Notes remained outstanding.

See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes.

2026 Notes On July 16, 2018, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (the "Initial 2026 Notes"). On August 28, 2018 and March 5, 2019, we completed offerings of an additional $130.0 million and $270.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of such notes (together, the "Additional 2026 Notes", and together with the Initial 2026 Notes, the "2026 Notes"). The 2026 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year at a rate of 5.50% per annum. Interest paid on the 2026 Notes during the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 was $24.8 million.

In connection with the offerings of the 2026 Notes, we agreed to provide the holders of the 2026 Notes with an opportunity to exchange the 2026 Notes for registered notes having terms substantially identical to the 2026 Notes. On June 25, 2019, we completed the exchange offer, in which all of the privately placed 2026 Notes were exchanged for new notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the 2026 Notes.

2029 Notes On September 30, 2019, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 4.375% senior notes due October 15, 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). 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. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes. The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors.

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 Agreement On 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.

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. On June 17, 2019, we drew $100.0 million of the Term Loan, with the remaining $200.0 million available, at our discretion, in a final draw. Subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement have, among other things, extended the delayed draw availability period to 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). During the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility. 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 September 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 28, 2019, we had capital commitments of approximately $52.2 million primarily for projects related to GaN technology capabilities, premium filter capacity 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 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 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 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 30, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

The extent to which we repurchase our 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 us 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.
