NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 28, 2020.

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 2020 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2021 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 2021 is a 53-week fiscal year during which the second fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020 and included 14 weeks, compared to 13 weeks for the second fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019. The first six months of fiscal 2021 ended October 3, 2020 and included 27 weeks, compared to 26 weeks for the six months ended September 28, 2019.

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 28, 2020.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which requires a current lifetime expected credit loss methodology to be used to measure impairments of accounts receivable and other financial assets. Using this methodology will result in earlier recognition of losses than under the previous incurred loss approach, which requires waiting to recognize a loss until it is probable of being incurred. The Company adopted the standard, which applies to its accounts receivables, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Under this new standard, trade receivables are now evaluated on a collective (pool) basis and aggregated on the basis of similar risk characteristics. These aggregated risk pools will be reassessed at each measurement date. A combination of factors is considered in determining the appropriate estimate of expected credit losses which include broad-based economic indicators as well as customers' financial strength, credit standing, payment history and any historical defaults.

The adoption of this standard using the modified retrospective transition method resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of less than $0.1 million.

4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

During the three months ended October 3, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of 7Hugs Labs S.A.S. ("7Hugs"). During fiscal 2020, the Company completed the acquisitions of Decawave Limited ("Decawave"), Custom MMIC Design Services, Inc. ("Custom MMIC"), Cavendish Kinetics Limited ("Cavendish") and Active-Semi International, Inc. ("Active-Semi"). The operating results of these companies have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition dates.

7Hugs Labs S.A.S.

On October 1, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of 7Hugs, a private developer of ultra-wide band ("UWB") software and solutions, for a total purchase price of $48.7 million, including cash acquired of $1.0 million. The acquisition expands the Company's product offerings and is expected to support the ongoing development and adoption of UWB products and solutions.

The purchase price was allocated to 7Hugs' net tangible liabilities (approximately $5.4 million, which includes debt assumed), deferred tax liability (approximately $1.7 million) and an intangible asset (approximately $37.3 million, entirely related to developed technology) based on their estimated fair values as of October 1, 2020. The fair value of the developed technology was determined based on an income approach using the "relief from royalty method," which estimated the value by discounting the royalties avoided by acquiring the technology to present value as of the valuation date. The acquired developed technology asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 10 years.

The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible liabilities, deferred tax liability and intangible asset resulted in goodwill of approximately $18.5 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). During the three months ended October 3, 2020, the Company recorded acquisition and integration costs associated with the acquisition of 7Hugs of $1.4 million in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Decawave Limited

On February 21, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Decawave, a pioneer in UWB technology and provider of UWB solutions for mobile, automotive and Internet of Things ("IoT") applications, for a total purchase price of $372.7 million. The acquisition expands the Company's product and technology offerings that enables real-time, highly accurate and reliable local area precision-location services.

During the six months ended October 3, 2020, the Company recognized a decrease to goodwill of approximately $2.6 million as a result of purchase price allocation adjustments. The Company will continue to evaluate certain assets, liabilities, and tax estimates over the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

Custom MMIC Design Services, Inc.

On February 6, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Custom MMIC, a supplier of high-performance gallium arsenide ("GaAs") and gallium nitride ("GaN") monolithic microwave integrated circuits ("MMICs") for defense and commercial applications, for a total purchase price of $91.7 million. The acquisition expands the Company's

millimeter wave ("mmWave") capabilities for product offerings in defense and commercial markets. On the acquisition date, the purchase price was comprised of cash consideration of $86.0 million and contingent consideration of $5.7 million (based on estimated fair value) which is payable to the sellers in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 if certain revenue targets are achieved over a one-year period from the acquisition date. The contingent consideration liability is remeasured to fair value each period with changes recognized in "Other operating expense." The fair value of the contingent consideration liability as of October 3, 2020 was equal to the maximum amount payable of $10.0 million, which is included in "Accrued liabilities." See Note 6 for further information related to the fair value measurement.

During the six months ended October 3, 2020, the Company recognized a decrease to goodwill of approximately $0.6 million as a result of purchase price allocation adjustments. The Company will continue to evaluate certain assets, liabilities, and tax estimates over the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

Cavendish Kinetics Limited

As of September 28, 2019, the Company had an investment in preferred shares in 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 ASC 321, "Investments-Equity Securities."

On October 4, 2019, the Company acquired the remaining issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish for cash consideration of $198.4 million. 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, which resulted in recognition of a gain of $43.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

During the six months ended October 3, 2020, the Company recognized an increase to goodwill of approximately $1.6 million and a decrease to intangibles of approximately $2.0 million as a result of purchase price allocation adjustments. The measurement period ended one year from the acquisition date of October 4, 2019.

Active-Semi International, Inc.

On May 6, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Active-Semi, a private fabless supplier of programmable analog power management solutions, for a total purchase price of $307.9 million.

Credit Agreement

On September 29, 2020, the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement (the "2020 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. acting as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and a syndicate of lenders. The 2020 Credit Agreement amended and restated the previous credit agreement dated as of December 5, 2017 (the “2017 Credit Agreement”). The 2020 Credit Agreement includes a senior term loan (the "2020 Term Loan") of up to $200.0 million and a senior revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") of up to $300.0 million (collectively the “Credit Facility”).

On the closing date of the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company repaid the remaining principal balance of $97.5 million on the term loan under the 2017 Credit Agreement (the “2017 Term Loan”) and concurrently drew $200.0 million under the 2020 Term Loan. Interest paid on the 2017 Term Loan during the three and six months ended October 3, 2020 was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Pursuant to the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company may request one or more additional tranches of term loans or increases to the Revolving Facility, up to an aggregate of $500.0 million and subject to securing additional funding commitments from the existing or new lenders. 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 general corporate purposes. Outstanding amounts are due in full on the maturity date of September 29, 2025, subject to scheduled amortization of the 2020 Term Loan principal prior to the maturity date as set forth in the 2020 Credit Agreement. During the six months ended October 3, 2020, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

At the Company’s option, loans under the 2020 Credit Agreement will bear interest at (i) the Applicable Rate (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the 2020 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 as set by the Administrative Agent, and (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). All swing line 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 reserve adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate), 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 1.000% per annum to 1.250% per annum and is set at 1.125% per annum until the delivery of the Company’s first compliance certificate to the lenders following the fiscal quarter ending January 2, 2021. The Applicable Rate for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.000% per annum to 0.250% per annum, and is set at 0.125% per annum until the delivery of the Company’s first compliance certificate to the lenders following the fiscal

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 October 3, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately 0.8 million and 1.6 million shares, respectively, of its common stock for approximately $105.0 million and $180.0 million, respectively, under the current share repurchase program.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Legal Matters

The Company accrues a liability for legal contingencies when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews these accruals and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company's views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company's accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made.

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of its 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 upon the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
