Investor Day Presentation Supplemental information on Non-GAAP financial measures In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this presentation contains some or all of the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) non-GAAP revenue, (ii) non-GAAP gross margin, (iii) non-GAAP operating margin, (iv) non- GAAP operating expenses (research and development; selling, general and administrative), (v) non-GAAP net income per diluted share, (vi) free cash flow, (vii) non- GAAP return on invested capital (ROIC), and (viii) net debt. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures is either adjusted from GAAP results to exclude certain expenses or derived from multiple GAAP measures, as described below. For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to our earnings releases for the relevant performance periods, available on our Investor Relations website at ir.qorvo.com under Financial Releases, or the Reconciliation of GAAP to non- GAAP Financial Measures section included at the end of this presentation. In managing Qorvo's business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non- GAAP financial measures. In developing and monitoring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions taken to reduce costs with the goal of increasing gross margin and operating margin. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures to assess whether research and development efforts are at an appropriate level, and when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and other operating expenses. Also, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and enable investors to analyze the results of operations in the same way as management. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to enable investors to perform additional comparisons of our operating results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of expenses unrelated to operations, and stock-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in Qorvo's underlying performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures offer an additional view of Qorvo's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures where necessary, provide a more complete understanding of Qorvo's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting Qorvo's business. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. © 2024 Qorvo US, Inc. | Qorvo Confidential & Proprietary Information 90
Investor Day Presentation Supplemental information on Non-GAAP financial measures (continued) Our rationale for using these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as their impact on the presentation of Qorvo's operations, are outlined below: Non-GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP revenue (for fiscal 2016) excludes non-cash deferred royalty revenue. We believe that the exclusion of this non-cash adjustment to revenue provides management and investors a more effective means of evaluating our historical and projected performance. Non-GAAP gross margin. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring-related charges, acquisition and integration-related costs and certain other expenses. We believe that exclusion of these costs in presenting non-GAAP gross margin facilitates a useful evaluation of our historical performance and projected costs and the potential for realizing cost efficiencies. We view amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s research and development efforts, trade names, and customer relationships, as items arising from pre-acquisition activities, determined at the time of an acquisition, rather than ongoing costs of operating Qorvo’s business. While these intangible assets are continually evaluated for impairment, amortization of the cost of purchased intangible assets is a static expense, which is not typically affected by operations during any particular period. Although we exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase price accounting and contribute to revenue generation. We believe that presentation of non-GAAP gross margin and other non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of stock- based compensation expense assists management and investors in evaluating the period-over-period performance of Qorvo's ongoing operations because (i) the expenses are non-cash in nature, and (ii) although the size of the grants is within our control, the amount of expense varies depending on factors such as short-term fluctuations in stock price volatility and prevailing interest rates, which can be unrelated to the operational performance of Qorvo during the period in which the expense is incurred and generally are outside the control of management. Moreover, we believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense in presenting non-GAAP gross margin and other non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors to understand the impact of the expensing of stock-based compensation to Qorvo's gross margins and other financial measures in comparison to prior periods. We also believe that the adjustments to profit and margin related to restructuring-related charges and acquisition and integration-related costs do not constitute part of Qorvo's ongoing operations and therefore the exclusion of these items provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time and facilitates a useful evaluation of our historical and projected performance. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP gross margin has economic substance because the excluded expenses do not represent continuing cash expenditures and, as described above, we have little control over the timing and amount of the expenses in question. Non-GAAP gross margin also excludes net adjustments related to a long-term capacity reservation agreement as we believe these net adjustments are not reflective of the performance of our ongoing business. © 2024 Qorvo US, Inc. | Qorvo Confidential & Proprietary Information 91
Investor Day Presentation Supplemental information on Non-GAAP financial measures (continued) Non-GAAP operating expenses and operating margin. Non-GAAP operating expenses and operating margin exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration-related costs, goodwill impairment, restructuring-related charges, net adjustments related to a long- term capacity reservation agreement, gain or loss on disposal of business and assets and certain other expenses or income. We believe that presentation of a measure of operating expenses and operating margin that excludes amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense is useful to both management and investors for the same reasons as described above with respect to our use of non-GAAP gross margin. We believe that acquisition and integration- related costs, goodwill impairment, restructuring-related charges, net adjustments related to a long-term capacity reservation agreement, gain or loss on disposal of business and assets and certain other expenses or income do not constitute part of Qorvo's ongoing operations and therefore, the exclusion of these costs provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time and facilitates a useful evaluation of our historical and projected performance. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP operating expenses and operating margin has economic substance because the excluded expenses are either unrelated to ongoing operations or do not represent current cash expenditures. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share excludes the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration-related costs, goodwill impairment, restructuring-related charges, net adjustments related to a long-term capacity reservation agreement, gain or loss on disposal of business and assets, start-up costs, certain other expenses or income, gain or loss on investments, and also reflect an adjustment of income taxes. The income tax adjustment primarily represents the use of research and development tax credit carryforwards, deferred tax expense or benefit items not affecting taxes payable, adjustments related to the deemed and actual repatriation of historical foreign earnings, non-cash expense or benefit related to uncertain tax positions and other items unrelated to the current fiscal year or that are not indicative of our ongoing business operations. We believe that presentation of measures of net income per diluted share that exclude these items is useful to both management and investors for the reasons described above with respect to non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses and operating margin. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP net income per diluted share has economic substance because the excluded expenses are either unrelated to ongoing operations or do not represent current cash expenditures. © 2024 Qorvo US, Inc. | Qorvo Confidential & Proprietary Information 92
Investor Day Presentation Supplemental information on Non-GAAP financial measures (continued) Free cash flow. Qorvo defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities during the period minus property and equipment expenditures made during the period, and free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We use free cash flow as a supplemental financial measure in our evaluation of liquidity and financial strength. Management believes that this measure is useful as an indicator of our ability to service our debt, meet other payment obligations and make strategic investments. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, our definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our entire statement of cash flows. Non-GAAP ROIC. Return on invested capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides useful supplemental information for management and the investor by measuring the effectiveness of our operations' use of invested capital to generate profits. We use ROIC to track how much value we are creating for our shareholders. Non-GAAP ROIC is calculated by dividing annualized non-GAAP operating income, net of an adjustment for income taxes (as described above), by average invested capital. Average invested capital is calculated by subtracting the average of the beginning balance and the ending balance of equity plus net debt, less certain goodwill. Net debt. Net debt is defined as unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments minus any borrowings under our credit facility and the principal balance of our senior unsecured notes. Management believes that net debt provides useful information regarding the level of Qorvo's indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. This presentation contains forward-looking measures including gross margin and operating margin. We provide these non-GAAP measures to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) that we provide them to investors on a historical basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort due to variability and difficulty in making accurate projections for items that would be required to be included in the GAAP measures, such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration-related costs, restructuring-related charges, gain or loss on disposal of business and assets and goodwill impairment, which could have a potentially significant impact on our future GAAP results. © 2024 Qorvo US, Inc. | Qorvo Confidential & Proprietary Information 93
Investor Day Presentation Supplemental information on Non-GAAP financial measures (continued) Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are these non-GAAP financial measures (i) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry, and (ii) exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance, thus limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. We compensate for these limitations by providing full disclosure of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the corresponding GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures in our earnings releases, to enable investors to perform their own analysis of our gross margin, operating expenses, operating margin, net income per diluted share and net cash provided by operating activities. © 2024 Qorvo US, Inc. | Qorvo Confidential & Proprietary Information 94
