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 Statements of Income or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 6 for further disclosures resulting from the adoption of this new standard.

4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Cavendish Kinetics Limited

As of September 28, 2019, the Company had an investment in preferred shares in Cavendish Kinetics Limited (“Cavendish”), a private supplier of high-performance radio frequency ("RF") microelectromechanical system ("MEMS") technology for antenna tuning applications, with a carrying value of $59.4 million. The Company accounted for this investment as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value using the measurement alternative in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01.

On October 4, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish for $196.8 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition advances RF MEMS technology for applications across the Company's products and the technology will be transitioned into high-volume manufacturing for mobile devices and other markets.

The purchase of the remaining equity interest in Cavendish was considered to be an acquisition achieved in stages, whereby the previously held equity interest was remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value. The Company determined that the fair value of its previously held equity investment was $102.4 million based on the purchase consideration exchanged to acquire the remaining issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish. This resulted in recognition of a gain of $43.0 million for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, which is recorded in "Other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The total purchase price of $305.9 million was allocated to Cavendish's net tangible assets (approximately $4.7 million), deferred tax liability (approximately $16.5 million) and intangible assets (approximately $206.4 million, primarily related to developed technology) based on their estimated fair values as of October 4, 2019.

The fair value of the Cavendish developed technology acquired was determined based on an income approach using the “excess earnings method,” which estimated the value of the intangible asset by discounting the future projected earnings of the asset to present value as of the valuation date. This developed technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 9 years.

The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets, deferred tax liability and intangible assets resulted in goodwill of approximately $111.3 million. The Company will continue to evaluate certain assets, liabilities and tax estimates over the measurement period (up to one year from the October 4, 2019 acquisition date).

Active-Semi International, Inc.

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 $307.9 million was allocated to Active-Semi's net tangible assets (approximately $18.9 million) and intangible assets (approximately $158.4 million) based on their estimated fair values as of May 6, 2019. The more significant intangible assets acquired included developed technology of $76.7 million, customer relationships of $40.9 million and in-process research and development ("IPRD") of $40.6 million.

Table of Contents

QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

The fair value of Active-Semi customer relationships acquired was determined based on an income approach using the “with and without method,” in which the value of the asset is determined by the difference in discounted cash flows of the profitability of the Company “with” the asset and the profitability of the Company “without” the asset. These customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.

The fair values of the Active-Semi developed technology and IPRD acquired were determined based on an income approach using the “excess earnings method,” which estimated the values of the intangible assets by discounting the future projected earnings of the asset to present value as of the valuation date. The acquired developed technology assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 9 years.

During the nine months ended December 28, 2019, $31.0 million of IPRD assets were completed, transferred to finite-lived intangible assets, and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years. The IPRD remaining as of December 28, 2019 is expected to be completed during fiscal 2021 with remaining costs to complete of less than $2.0 million.

The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets resulted in goodwill of approximately $130.6 million. The Company will continue to evaluate certain assets, liabilities and tax estimates over 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 nine months ended December 28, 2019 of $2.1 million and $25.1 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 nine months ended December 28, 2019 of $0.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in "Cost of goods sold" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(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 December 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

On October 4, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish. Prior to the acquisition date, the Company had accounted for its investment in Cavendish as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and the investment was classified in "Long-term investments" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 4 for disclosures related to the acquisition 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.

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 nine months ended December 28, 2019, are as follows:



	December 28, 2019
	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
Operating lease expense	$	3,698	$	11,115
Short-term lease expense	1,911		5,063
Variable lease expense	734		2,329

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").

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. The Company paid no interest on the 2026 Notes during the three months ended December 28, 2019 and paid interest of $24.8 million on the 2026 Notes during the nine months ended December 28, 2019.

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 “Initial 2029 Notes”). On December 20, 2019, the Company issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes (the "Additional 2029 Notes" and together with the Initial 2029 Notes, the "2029 Notes"). The 2029 Notes will mature on October 15, 2029, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are initially guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors.

The Initial 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 30, 2019, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee, and the Additional 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to a supplemental indenture, dated as of December 20, 2019 (such indenture and supplemental indenture, together, the "2019 Indenture"). 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.

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 Initial 2029 Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of September 30, 2019, by and among the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and BofA Securities, Inc., as representative of the initial purchasers of the Initial 2029 Notes, on the other hand, and a substantially similar agreement, dated as of December 20, 2019, with respect to the Additional 2029 Notes (together, the "Registration Rights Agreements").

Under the Registration Rights Agreements, 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.

Interest is payable on the 2029 Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year at a rate of 4.375% per annum, commencing April 15, 2020.

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 included 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"). In addition, the Company may request one or more additional tranches of term loans or increases in the Revolving Facility, up to an aggregate of $300.0 million and subject to securing additional funding commitments from the existing or new lenders (the “Incremental Facility,” together with the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility, 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. The delayed draw availability period for the remaining $200.0 million of the Term Loan expired on 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 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 nine months ended December 28, 2019, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility. Interest paid on the Term Loan during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019 was $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

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 December 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, 2026 Notes, and 2029 Notes as of December 28, 2019 was $25.3 million, $962.3 million, and $576.1 million, respectively (compared to a carrying value of $23.4 million, $900.0 million, and $550.0 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, 2026 Notes, and 2029 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 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 December 28, 2019.

Interest Expense

During the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, the Company recognized $17.8 million and $44.3 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the 2025 Notes, the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the Term Loan, which was partially offset by $1.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of interest capitalized to property and equipment. During the three months ended December 29, 2018, the Company recognized $10.8 million of interest expense related to the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes, which was partially offset by $1.9 million of interest capitalized to property and equipment. During the nine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company recognized $38.8 million of interest expense related to the 2023 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes, which was partially offset by $7.2 million of interest capitalized to property and equipment.

8. STOCK REPURCHASES

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 included approximately $117.0 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 nine months ended December 28, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares and 5.1 million shares, respectively, of its common stock for approximately $125.0 million and $390.1 million, respectively, under the prior and current share repurchase programs. As of December 28, 2019, $890.9 million remained available for repurchases under the current share repurchase program.

During the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares and 4.6 million shares, respectively, of its common stock for approximately $152.0 million and $338.7 million, respectively, under the prior share repurchase program.

Total revenue	$	869,073	$	832,330	$	2,451,369	$	2,409,443

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 December 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).
