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").

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 April 2, 2022.
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 2022 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2023 presentation.

The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $9.5 million as of the acquisition date. At April 2, 2022, the contingent consideration liability was remeasured to a fair value of $17.6 million and is included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At July 2, 2022, the contingent consideration liability was remeasured to a fair value of $22.1 million and is included in "Other current liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with the increase in fair value recognized in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

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 (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., acting as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the previous credit agreement dated as of December 5, 2017. The Credit Agreement includes a senior revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") of up to $300.0 million and included a senior term loan of $200.0 million (collectively the "Credit Facility") which was fully repaid in fiscal 2022.
On April 6, 2022, the Company and the administrative agent entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "LIBOR Transition Amendment") to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate as a reference rate available for use in the computation of interest under the Credit Agreement. As a result of the LIBOR Transition Amendment, at the Company’s option, loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at (i) the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Applicable Rate plus a rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 %, (b) the prime rate as set by the administrative agent, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0 % (the "Base Rate"). All
10
QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
swing line loans will bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus the Base Rate. The Term SOFR is the rate per annum equal to the forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate term rate for interest periods of one, three or six months (as selected by the Company) plus an adjustment (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Applicable Rate for Term SOFR loans ranges from 1.000 % per annum to 1.250 % per annum, and the Applicable Rate for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.000 % per annum to 0.250 % per annum. Undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility are subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.150 % to 0.200 %.
During the three months ended July 2, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.
Senior Notes due 2024
On December 14, 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.750 % senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"). The 2024 Notes will mature on December 15, 2024, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 14, 2021 (the "2021 Indenture"), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2021 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 2021 Indenture also contains customary negative covenants.
Interest is payable on the 2024 Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Interest paid on the 2024 Notes during the three months ended July 2, 2022 was $4.4 million.
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 and June 11, 2020, the Company issued an additional $200.0 million and $300.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of such notes (together, 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 guaranteed, jointly and severally, by 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 supplemental indentures, dated as of December 20, 2019 and June 11, 2020 (such indenture and supplemental indentures, collectively, the "2019 Indenture"). The 2019 Indenture contains substantially the same customary events of default and negative covenants as the 2021 Indenture.
Interest is payable on the 2029 Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year. Interest paid on the 2029 Notes during both the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 was $18.6
Senior Notes due 2031
On September 29, 2020, the Company issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.375 % senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes").

Interest Expense
During the three months ended July 2, 2022, the Company recognized total interest expense of $18.2 million, primarily related to the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, partially offset by interest capitalized to property and equipment of $1.0 million. During the three months ended July 3, 2021, the Company recognized total interest expense of $16.2 million, primarily related to the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, which was partially offset by interest capitalized to property and equipment of $0.9 million.
7. STOCK REPURCHASES
On May 5, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock, which included approximately $236.9 million authorized under a prior program terminated concurrent with the new authorization. Under this current 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 months ended July 2, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares of its common stock for approximately $350.0 million (including transaction costs) under the current share repurchase program. As of July 2, 2022, approximately $511.7 million remains available for repurchases under the current share repurchase program.
During the three months ended July 3, 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 1.7 million shares of its common stock for approximately $300.0 million (including transaction costs).
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Purchase Obligations
Amidst ongoing industry-wide supply constraints, the Company entered into a long-term capacity reservation agreement with a foundry supplier during the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Under the agreement, the Company is required to purchase, and the foundry supplier is required to supply, a certain number of wafers (at predetermined sales prices) for calendar years 2022 through 2025. In connection with this agreement, the Company paid a refundable deposit (which is recorded in "Other non-current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), and if the quarterly purchase commitments per the agreement are not met, under certain circumstances the supplier may deduct the amount of the purchase shortfall from the prepaid refundable deposit at the end of each calendar year.
During fiscal 2023, the Company experienced unexpectedly weakened demand for 5G handsets in China and EMEA due to unprecedented disruption resulting from measures taken in China to control the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine. As a result, the Company did not meet the minimum purchase commitments under a long-term capacity reservation agreement with a foundry supplier. The purchase shortfall resulted in an impairment to the prepaid refundable deposit of approximately $13.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company also performed an analysis of the inventory
12
QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
purchased under the agreement and recorded additional reserves of approximately $11.0 million for inventory in excess of management's demand forecasts. Additionally, the Company assessed the future minimum purchase commitments over the remaining term of the agreement and recorded an estimated shortfall of $86.0 million, of which $8.0 million is recorded in "Other current liabilities" and $78.0 million is recorded in "Other long-term liabilities" in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 330, "Inventory." These transactions resulted in a total increase to cost of goods sold of $110.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. In performing this assessment, the Company considered Company-specific forecasts, legal obligations, macroeconomic factors and market and industry trends. These factors include significant management judgment and estimates and, to the extent that these assumptions are incorrect or there are further declines in management's demand forecasts, additional charges may or may not be recorded in future periods. The Company continues to place orders for wafer volumes supported by current demand while working to renegotiate the terms of the agreement with the foundry supplier.
As of July 2, 2022, the Company estimates that, under the current terms of the capacity reservation agreement, it is obligated to purchase approximately $
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business that have not been fully adjudicated. The Company accrues a liability for legal contingencies when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of the previously accrued liability and records adjustments as appropriate. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of the unresolved legal matters, it is the opinion of management that these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal matters is not material.

11. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense was $10.7 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022, and $13.0 million for the three months ended July 3, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate was 13.4 % for the three months ended July 2, 2022, and 4.3 % for the three months ended July 3, 2021.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2022 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, global intangible low tax income ("GILTI"), domestic tax credits generated and discrete tax items recorded during the period. A discrete benefit of $19.3 million was recorded during the three months ended July 2, 2022. The discrete tax benefit primarily resulted from certain charges associated with a long-term capacity reservation agreement recorded during the period (refer to Note 8 for further information).
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended July 3, 2021 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, GILTI, domestic tax credits generated and discrete tax items recorded during the period. A discrete benefit of $20.2 million was recorded during the three months ended July 3, 2021. The discrete tax benefit was primarily related to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, tax deductions related to stock-based compensation and tax benefits associated with other non-recurring restructuring activities.
12. 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):

An immaterial number of the Company's outstanding stock-based awards was excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

OVERVIEW
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 global leader in the development and commercialization of technologies and products for wireless, wired and power markets.
We design, develop, manufacture and market our products to U.S. and international original equipment manufacturers and original design manufacturers in two operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Mobile Products ("MP") and Infrastructure and Defense Products ("IDP").
MP is a global supplier of cellular, ultra-wideband, Wi-Fi and other wireless solutions for a variety of applications, including smartphones, wearables, laptops, tablets and Internet of Things ("IoT").
IDP is a global supplier of RF, system-on-a-chip and power management solutions for a wide range of markets, including cellular and IT infrastructure, automotive, renewable energy, defense and IoT.
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 and reportable segment primarily based on operating income. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our reportable operating segments as of July 2, 2022. Refer to Note 13 for additional information regarding our subsequent change in reportable operating segments.
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on May 20, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the semiconductor industry supply chain causing uncertainty in customer demand, worldwide economies and financial markets. During fiscal 2023, we experienced unexpectedly weakened demand for 5G handsets in China and EMEA due to the measures taken in China to control the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine. As a result, we did not meet the minimum purchase commitments under a long-term capacity reservation agreement with a foundry supplier. This purchase shortfall resulted in an impairment to the prepaid refundable deposit under the agreement of approximately $13.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. We also performed an analysis of the inventory purchased under the agreement and recorded additional reserves of approximately $11.0 million for inventory in excess of management's demand forecasts. Additionally, we assessed the future minimum purchase commitments over the remaining term of the agreement and recorded an estimated shortfall of $86.0 million in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 330, "Inventory." These transactions resulted in a total increase to cost of goods sold of $110.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. In performing this assessment, the Company considered Company-specific forecasts, legal obligations, macroeconomic factors and market and industry trends. These factors include significant management judgment and estimates and, to the extent that these assumptions are incorrect or there are further declines in management's demand forecasts, additional charges may or may not be recorded in future periods. We continue to place orders for wafer volumes supported by current demand while working to renegotiate the terms of the agreement with the foundry supplier.
18
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2023 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
•Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 6.8% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, driven primarily by lower demand for 5G handsets in China and EMEA, partially offset by higher demand for our defense, base station and power management products.
•Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased to 36.2% as compared to 49.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, resulting primarily from $110.0 million of charges associated with a long-term capacity reservation agreement (refer to Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).
•Operating income was $101.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to $297.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable gross margin, lower revenue and higher operating expenses.
•Net income per diluted share was $0.65 for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to $2.51 for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
•Capital expenditures were $43.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to $65.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
•During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares of our common stock for approximately $350.0 million.

Revenue decreased for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared to the three months ended July 3, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to lower demand for 5G handsets in China and EMEA and customer product mix shifts resulting from ongoing global macroeconomic challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine and supply chain disruptions. These decreases were partially offset by higher demand for our defense, base station and power management products.
Gross margin decreased for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared to the three months ended July 3, 2021, resulting primarily from $110.0 million of charges associated with a long-term capacity reservation agreement.
Operating expenses increased for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared to the three months ended July 3, 2021, primarily due to additional headcount and higher design and development costs associated with our 5G related products, as well as additional headcount related to our biotechnology testing solutions and power device solutions.

Interest expense
During the three months ended July 2, 2022, we recorded interest expense primarily related to our 1.750% senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"), our 4.375% senior notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") and our 3.375% senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"). During the three months ended July 3, 2021, we recorded interest expense primarily related to our 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes. Refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other (expense) income, net
Other (expense) income includes our share of investments in limited partnerships' earnings and gains (losses) from our other investments. Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Income tax expense
During the three months ended July 2, 2022, we recorded income tax expense of $10.7 million, comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income and the impact of global intangible low tax income, partially offset by tax benefits related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses and domestic tax credits and discrete tax items recorded during the period. The discrete tax benefit primarily resulted from certain charges associated with a long-term capacity reservation agreement recorded during the period (refer to Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).
During the three months ended July 3, 2021, we recorded income tax expense of $13.0 million which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book income, partially offset by tax benefits related to international operations generating pre-tax book losses, domestic tax credits and discrete tax items recorded during the period. The discrete tax benefit was primarily related to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, tax deductions related to stock-based compensation and tax benefits associated with other non-recurring restructuring activities.
21
A valuation allowance remained against certain domestic and foreign net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will not be realized.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity. As of July 2, 2022, we had working capital of approximately $1,654.0 million, including $858.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $1,774.7 million, including $972.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of April 2, 2022.
Our $858.8 million of total cash and cash equivalents as of July 2, 2022, includes approximately $666.5 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $511.3 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 three months ended July 2, 2022, we repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares of our common stock for approximately $350.0 million (including transaction costs) under our share repurchase program. As of July 2, 2022, approximately $511.7 million remains available for repurchases under the program.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $273.0 million and $341.6 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. This decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to decreased profitability and the associated negative working capital impact resulting from lower demand for 5G handsets in China and EMEA.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $38.9 million and $228.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. There were no acquisitions during the three months ended July 2, 2022, and we acquired NextInput, Inc. during the three months ended July 3, 2021. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our business acquisitions.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $345.9 million and $311.4 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, primarily due to our stock repurchases. Refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our stock repurchases.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Credit Agreement On September 29, 2020, we and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., acting as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The Credit Agreement amended and restated our previous credit agreement dated as of December 5, 2017. The Credit Agreement includes a senior revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") of up to $300.0 million and included a senior term loan of $200.0 million (collectively the "Credit Facility") which was fully repaid in fiscal 2022. 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.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, we 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, among other things, securing additional funding commitments from the existing or new lenders.
During the three months ended July 2, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.
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 July 2, 2022, we were in compliance with these covenants.
22
2024 Notes On December 14, 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2024 Notes. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year at a rate of 1.750% per annum. The 2024 Notes will mature on December 15, 2024, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
2029 Notes On September 30, 2019, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes due 2029 (the "Initial 2029 Notes"). On December 20, 2019 and June 11, 2020, we issued an additional $200.0 million and $300.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of such notes (together with the Initial 2029 Notes, the "2029 Notes"). Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year 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 are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
2031 Notes On September 29, 2020, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2031 Notes. Interest on the 2031 Notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year at a rate of 3.375% per annum. The 2031 Notes will mature on April 1, 2031, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2031 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
For additional information regarding our long-term debt, refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital Commitments As of July 2, 2022, we had capital commitments of approximately $120.7 million primarily for expanding capability to support new products, equipment and facility upgrades, cost savings initiatives and increasing manufacturing capacity.
Purchase Obligations Refer to Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our purchase obligations.
Future Sources of Funding Our future capital requirements may differ materially from those currently projected 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 flows from operations, coupled with our existing cash, 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 if our revenue grows 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. Additional debt or equity financing could be dilutive to holders of our common stock. Further, we cannot be sure that any additional debt or equity 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. We accrue a liability for legal contingencies when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of the previously accrued liability and record adjustments as appropriate. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of the unresolved legal matters, it is the opinion of management that these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal matters is not material.

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.
SUPPLEMENTAL PARENT AND GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In accordance with the indentures governing the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes (together, the "Notes"), our obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Guarantors, which are listed on Exhibit 22 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Each Guarantor is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Qorvo, Inc. ("Parent"). A Guarantor can be released in certain customary circumstances. Our other U.S. subsidiaries and our non-U.S. subsidiaries do not guarantee the Notes (such subsidiaries are referred to as the "Non-Guarantors").
The following presents summarized financial information for the Parent and the Guarantors on a combined basis as of and for the periods indicated, after eliminating (i) intercompany transactions and balances among the Parent and Guarantors, and (ii) equity earnings from, and investments in, any Non-Guarantor.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," contained in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022.
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 Interim 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 July 2, 2022, 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.
Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A., "Risk Factors" in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022.
We are subject to inventory risks and costs because we purchase materials and build our products based on forecasts provided by customers before receiving purchase orders for the products.
In order to ensure availability of our products for some of our largest end customers, we purchase materials and start manufacturing certain products in advance of receiving purchase orders based on forecasts provided by these customers. However, these forecasts do not represent binding purchase commitments and we do not recognize sales for these products until they are shipped to or consumed by the customer. As a result, we incur significant inventory and manufacturing costs in advance of anticipated sales. Because demand for our products may not materialize, or may be lower than expected, purchasing materials and manufacturing based on forecasts subjects us to heightened risks of higher inventory carrying costs, increased obsolescence and higher operating costs. These inventory risks are exacerbated when our customers purchase indirectly through contract manufacturers or hold component inventory levels greater than their consumption rate because this reduces our visibility regarding the customers’ accumulated levels of inventory.

These inventory risks are exacerbated when our customers purchase indirectly through contract manufacturers or hold component inventory levels greater than their consumption rate because this reduces our visibility regarding the customers’ accumulated levels of inventory.
For example, amidst ongoing industry-wide supply constraints, we entered into a long-term capacity reservation agreement with a foundry supplier during the second quarter ended October 2, 2021. Under the agreement we are required to purchase, and the supplier is required to supply, a certain number of wafers for calendar years 2022 through 2025. In connection with this agreement, we paid a refundable deposit and if the quarterly purchase commitments per the agreement are not met, under certain circumstances the supplier may deduct the amount of the purchase shortfall from the prepaid refundable deposit at the end of each calendar year.
During fiscal 2023, we experienced unexpectedly weakened demand for 5G handsets in China and EMEA due to unprecedented disruption resulting from measures taken in China to control the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine. As a result, we did not meet the minimum purchase commitments under a long-term capacity reservation agreement with a foundry supplier. The purchase shortfall resulted in an impairment to the prepaid refundable deposit of approximately $13.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. We also performed an analysis of the inventory purchased under the agreement and recorded additional reserves of approximately $11.0 million for inventory in excess of management's demand forecasts. Additionally, we assessed the future minimum purchase commitments over the remaining term of the agreement and recorded an estimated shortfall of $86.0 million, of which $8.0 million is recorded in "Other current liabilities" and $78.0 million is recorded in "Other long-term liabilities" in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 330, "Inventory." These transactions resulted in a total increase to cost of goods sold of $110.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
In performing this assessment, we considered Company-specific forecasts, legal obligations, macroeconomic factors and market and industry trends. These factors include significant management judgment and estimates and, to the extent that these assumptions are incorrect or there are further declines in management's demand forecasts, additional charges may be recorded in future periods, which would have a negative impact on our gross margin and other operating results.

On May 5, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock, which included approximately $236.9 million authorized under a prior program terminated concurrent with the new authorization. Under this current program, share repurchases are made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which we repurchase our 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 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.
