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. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 1, 2017.

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 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2018 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 2018 and 2017 are 52-week years.

2. CHANGE IN ESTIMATE

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company changed its accounting estimate for the expected useful lives of certain machinery and equipment. The Company evaluated its current asset base and reassessed the estimated useful lives of certain machinery and equipment in connection with its implementation of several capital projects, including the migration of certain surface acoustic wave ("SAW") processes from 4-inch to 6-inch toolsets and certain bulk acoustic wave ("BAW") processes from 6-inch to 8-inch toolsets. Based on its ability to re-use equipment across generations of process technologies and historical usage trends, the Company determined that the expected useful lives for certain machinery and equipment should be increased by up to three years to reflect more closely the estimated economic lives of those assets. This change in estimate was applied prospectively effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $14.2 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017. This benefit increased income from operations by $2.2 million and decreased ending inventory by $12.0 million as of July 1, 2017. Net income increased by $1.5 million and diluted earnings per share increased by $0.01 for the three months ended July 1, 2017 as a result of this change in accounting estimate.

3. NET LOSS PER SHARE

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



	Three Months Ended
	July 1, 2017			July 2, 2016
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted net loss per share — net loss available to common stockholders	$	(30,624	)	$	(5,675	)
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net loss per share — weighted average shares	126,961			127,541
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock-based awards	—			—
Denominator for diluted net loss per share — adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions	126,961			127,541
Basic net loss per share	$	(0.24	)	$	(0.04	)
Diluted net loss per share	$	(0.24	)	$	(0.04	)

In the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended July 1, 2017, approximately 4.4 million outstanding shares were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended July 2, 2016, approximately 5.1 million outstanding shares were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on standard costs which approximates actual average costs. The components of inventories, net of reserves, are as follows (in thousands):

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, $37.0 million of in-process research and development assets were completed, transferred to finite-lived intangible assets and are being amortized over their useful lives of 4 years.

Total intangible assets amortization expense was $134.7 million and $119.4 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016, respectively.

6. DEBT

Senior Notes

On November 19, 2015, the Company completed an offering of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% senior notes due December 1, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.00% senior notes due December 1, 2025 (the “2025 Notes” and, together with the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. On September 19, 2016, the Company completed an exchange offer, in which all of the 2023 Notes and substantially all of the 2025 Notes were exchanged for new notes that have been registered under the Securities Act.

Interest is payable on the 2023 Notes at a rate of 6.75% per annum and on the 2025 Notes at a rate of 7.00% per annum. During the three months ended July 1, 2017, the Company recognized $17.3 million of interest expense related to the Notes which was offset by $5.6 million of interest capitalized to property and equipment. During the three months ended July 2, 2016, the Company recognized $17.5 million of interest expense related to the Notes, which was offset by $3.0 million of interest capitalized to property and equipment. Interest on both series of Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. Interest paid on the Notes during the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016 was $34.4 million and $36.7 million, respectively.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 19, 2015 (the "Indenture") containing customary events of default, including payment default, failure to provide certain notices and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The Indenture also contains customary negative covenants.

The 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes are traded over the counter and their fair values as of July 1, 2017 of $495.6 million and $625.6 million, respectively (compared to carrying values of $450.0 million and $550.0 million, respectively) were estimated based upon the values of their last trade at the end of the period. The fair values of the 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes were $489.4 million and $607.8 million, respectively, as of April 1, 2017, based upon the values of their last trade at the end of the period.

Credit Agreement

On April 7, 2015, the Company and certain of its material domestic subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), swing line lender, and L/C issuer, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. The Company may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $150.0 million. The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. During the three months ended July 1, 2017, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The Company had no outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement as of July 1, 2017 and April 1, 2017.

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, including financial covenants that the Company must maintain. On November 12, 2015, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the size of certain of the negative covenant baskets and the threshold for certain negative covenant incurrence-based permissions and to raise the consolidated leverage ratio test from 2.50 to 1.00 to 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The Company must also maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. As of July 1, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, and the occurrence of an event of default will increase the applicable rate of interest by 2.00% and could result in the termination of commitments under the revolving credit facility, the declaration that all outstanding loans are due and payable in whole or in part and the requirement of cash collateral deposits in

(Unaudited)

respect of outstanding letters of credit. Outstanding amounts are due in full on the maturity date of April 7, 2020 (with amounts borrowed under the swing line option due in full no later than ten business days after such loan is made).

7. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016.

The Company’s income tax benefit was $9.6 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.9% for the three months ended July 1, 2017 and 41.3% for the three months ended July 2, 2016. The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, changes in unrecognized tax benefits, a discrete tax benefit for excess stock compensation deductions in accordance with the new guidance for accounting for employee share-based payments (ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting") and a discrete tax expense associated with intra-entity transfers in accordance with the new guidance for the intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory (ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory"). The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, and changes in unrecognized tax benefits.

Deferred Taxes

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.

The Company has increased the deferred tax assets for both the domestic federal and state tax net operating loss (“NOLs”) carry-forwards by $36.7 million relating to the adoption of new accounting guidance for stock compensation (ASU 2016-09).

The Company has domestic federal and state tax NOLs carry-forwards that expire in fiscal years 2020 to 2036 if unused. The use of the NOLs that were acquired in prior year acquisitions is subject to certain annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state income tax provisions.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased from $90.6 million as of the end of fiscal 2017 to $94.3 million as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, due to a $3.7 million increase related to tax positions taken with respect to the current fiscal year.

(1) ARS are debt instruments with interest rates that reset through periodic short-term auctions. The Company’s Level 2 ARS are valued based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.

(2) 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.

As of July 1, 2017 and April 1, 2017, the Company did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

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 6 for the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.

9. STOCK REPURCHASES

On November 3, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $500.0 million of the Company's outstanding stock. 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 and 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 1, 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares of its common stock for approximately $31.9 million. As of July 1, 2017, $350.1 million remains available for repurchases under this share repurchase program.

10. 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 April 1, 2017.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." The new guidance clarifies when modification accounting in Topic 718 should be applied to changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The Company elected to early-adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The Company elected to adopt the standard early in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective method, which requires a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The cumulative adjustment to the July 1, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was not significant. For the three months ended July 1, 2017, the Company recognized a discrete tax expense of $5.4 million related to intra-entity transfers of assets during the quarter.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." The new guidance simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards on the balance sheet and presentation on the statement of cash flows, and became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce the Company's accumulated deficit by $36.7 million with a corresponding increase to deferred tax assets for the Federal and state net operating losses attributable to excess tax benefits which had not been previously recognized. All excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the current and future periods will be recognized as income tax expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the reporting period in which they occur. This will result in increased volatility in the Company’s effective tax rate. For the three months ended July 1, 2017, the Company recognized a discrete tax benefit of $3.8 million related to the excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The company plans to continue its existing practice of estimating expected forfeitures in determining compensation cost.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting." The new guidance eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method of accounting when an investment previously accounted for under the cost basis qualifies for the equity method of accounting. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 with no impact on its consolidated financial results. Application will be made on a prospective basis as transactions in scope of this new guidance occur.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." The new guidance changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less

reasonably predictable costs to completion, transportation, or disposal. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

11. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's operating segments as of July 1, 2017 are Mobile Products (MP) and Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP) based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), and these segments are managed separately based on the end markets and applications they support. The CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment primarily based on non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of revenue.

MP is a leading global supplier of cellular radio frequency ("RF") and Wi-Fi solutions into a variety of mobile devices, including smartphones, notebook computers, wearables, tablets, and cellular-based applications for the Internet of Things ("IoT"). Mobile device manufacturers and mobile network operators are adopting new technologies to address the growing demand for data-intensive, increasingly cloud-based, distributed applications and for mobile devices with smaller form factors, improved signal quality, less heat and longer talk and standby times. New wireless communications standards are being deployed to utilize available spectrum more efficiently. Carrier aggregation is being implemented, primarily in the downlink, to support wider bandwidths, increase data rates and improve network performance. These trends increase the complexity of smartphones, require more RF content and place a premium on performance, integration, systems-level expertise, and product and technology portfolio breadth, all of which are MP strengths. MP offers a comprehensive product portfolio of BAW and SAW filters, power amplifiers ("PAs"), low noise amplifiers ("LNAs"), switches, multimode multi-band PAs and transmit modules, RF power management integrated circuits, diversity receive modules, antenna switch modules, antenna tuning and control solutions, modules incorporating PAs and duplexers and modules incorporating switches, PAs and duplexers.

IDP is a leading global supplier of RF solutions with a diverse portfolio of solutions that "connect and protect," spanning communications, network infrastructure and defense applications. These applications include high performance defense systems such as radar, electronic warfare and communication systems, Wi-Fi customer premises equipment for home and work, high speed connectivity in Long-Term Evolution and 5G base stations, cloud connectivity via data center communications and telecom transport, automotive connectivity and other IoT, including smart home solutions. IDP products include high power gallium arsenide and gallium nitride PAs, LNAs, switches, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor system-on-a-chip solutions, premium BAW and SAW filter solutions and various multi-chip and hybrid assemblies.

The “All other” category includes operating expenses such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration related costs, acquired inventory step-up and revaluation, restructuring and disposal costs, start-up costs, gain (loss) on assets and other miscellaneous corporate overhead expenses that the Company does not allocate to its reportable segments because these expenses are not included in the segment operating performance measures evaluated by the Company’s CODM. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. The Company’s operating segments do not record intercompany revenue. The Company does not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Except as discussed above regarding the “All other” category, the Company’s accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

12. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:


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


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


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


(iv)	Consolidating entries, eliminations and reclassifications representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent Company, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries,

Table of Contents

(Unaudited)

(b) eliminate intercompany profit in inventory, (c) eliminate the investments in the Company’s subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and


(v)	The Company, on a consolidated basis.

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

The Company has made certain immaterial corrections to the prior period Condensed Consolidating Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. An adjustment to income from operations and income in subsidiaries for the guarantor subsidiaries of $10.7 million and $17.7 million, respectively, has been presented in the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three months ended July 2, 2016, to properly reflect intercompany transactions between guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries and the equity method accounting for the guarantor subsidiaries’ ownership interests in non-guarantor subsidiaries. An adjustment to income from operations for the non-guarantor subsidiaries of $(43.7) million has been presented in the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three months ended July 2, 2016, to properly reflect intercompany transactions between guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

These immaterial corrections relate solely to presentation between the Company and its subsidiaries and only impact the financial statements included in this footnote. These corrections do not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

As previously disclosed, in August 2015 a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company invested $25.0 million to acquire shares of Series F Preferred Stock of Cavendish and was granted the exclusive option and right, but not the obligation, to acquire the entire issued capital of Cavendish (the “Option”). The acquisition agreement generally provided that the Option could be exercised until the earlier of: (i) 60 days after Cavendish’s pre-production release of a specified product and (ii) June 30, 2017 (the “Option Period”). On July 31, 2017, the parties amended the acquisition agreement and related documents to extend the outside expiration date of the Option Period from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2019, and to make certain modifications to the procedures for calculating the purchase price of Cavendish. In connection with the amendment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company: (i) invested an additional $20.0 million in shares of Series F Preferred Stock; and (ii) agreed, subject to certain conditions, to make a further $15.0 million investment in shares of Series F Preferred Stock by June 29, 2018. As a result, the Company expects to account for its investment in Cavendish using the equity method of accounting commencing in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

OVERVIEW

Company

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to help the reader understand the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of Qorvo. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

We employ more than 8,700 people. We have world-class manufacturing facilities, and our fabrication facility in Richardson, Texas, is a U.S. Department of Defense accredited ‘Trusted Source’ (Category 1A) for gallium arsenide ("GaAs"), gallium nitride ("GaN") and bulk acoustic wave ("BAW") technologies. Our design and manufacturing expertise covers many semiconductor process technologies, which we source both internally and through external suppliers. Our primary wafer fabrication facilities are in Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Oregon, and our primary assembly and test facilities are in China, Costa Rica, Germany and Texas. We also operate design, sales and manufacturing facilities throughout Asia, Europe and North America.

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

•

Mobile Products (MP) - MP is a leading global supplier of cellular RF and Wi-Fi solutions into a variety of mobile devices, including smartphones, notebook computers, wearables, tablets, and cellular-based applications for the Internet of Things ("IoT"). Mobile device manufacturers and mobile network operators are adopting new technologies to address the growing demand for data-intensive, increasingly cloud-based, distributed applications and for mobile devices with smaller form factors, improved signal quality, less heat and longer talk and standby times. New wireless communications standards are being deployed to utilize available spectrum more efficiently. Carrier aggregation is being implemented, primarily in the downlink, to support wider bandwidths, increase data rates and improve network performance. These trends increase the complexity of smartphones, require more RF content and place a premium on performance, integration, systems-level expertise, and product and technology portfolio breadth, all of which are MP strengths. We offer a comprehensive product portfolio of BAW and surface acoustic wave ("SAW") filters, power amplifiers ("PAs"), low noise amplifiers ("LNAs"), switches, multimode multi-band PAs and transmit modules, RF power management integrated circuits, diversity receive modules, antenna switch modules, antenna tuning and control solutions, modules incorporating PAs and duplexers ("PADs") and modules incorporating switches, PAs and duplexers.

•

Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP) - IDP is a leading global supplier of RF solutions with a diverse portfolio of solutions that "connect and protect," spanning communications, network infrastructure and defense applications. These applications include high performance defense systems such as radar, electronic warfare and communication systems, Wi-Fi customer premises equipment for home and work, high speed connectivity in Long-Term Evolution and 5G base stations, cloud connectivity via data center communications and telecom transport, automotive connectivity and other IoT, including smart home solutions. Our IDP products include high power GaAs and GaN PAs, LNAs, switches, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor system-on-a-chip solutions, premium BAW and SAW filter solutions and various multi-chip and hybrid assemblies.

As of July 1, 2017, our reportable segments are MP and IDP. These business segments are based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), and are managed separately based on the end markets and applications they support. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of each operating segment primarily based on operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue (see Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding our operating segments).

FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2018 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:


•	Quarterly revenue decreased 8.3% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to lower demand for our cellular RF solutions in support of our largest customer and customers based in China, partially offset by higher demand for our defense and aerospace and Wi-Fi products.


•	Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was 36.9% as compared to 39.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease was primarily due to higher intangible amortization expense and lower factory utilization resulting from the lower demand, partially offset by lower stock compensation expense.


•	Our operating loss was $27.8 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017 as compared to operating income of $5.7 million for the three months ended July 2, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue and lower gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses.


•	Diluted net loss per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $0.24 as compared to diluted net loss per share of $0.04 for the first quarter of fiscal 2017.


•	Cash flow from operations was $103.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $59.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. This year-over-year increase was driven by changes in accounts receivable primarily due to the timing of shipments.


•	Capital expenditures were $124.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to $130.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We expect capital expenditures in fiscal 2018 to be lower than capital expenditures in fiscal 2017.


•	During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares of our common stock for approximately $31.9 million.

See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment operating income to the consolidated operating (loss) income for the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016.

Change in Estimate

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we changed our accounting estimate for the expected useful lives of certain machinery and equipment. We evaluated our current asset base and reassessed the estimated useful lives of certain machinery and equipment in connection with the implementation of several capital projects, including the migration of certain SAW processes from 4-inch to 6-inch toolsets and certain BAW processes from 6-inch to 8-inch toolsets. Based on our ability to re-use equipment across generations of process technologies and historical usage trends, we determined that the expected useful lives for certain machinery and equipment should be increased by up to three years to reflect more closely the estimated economic lives of those assets. This change in estimate was applied prospectively effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $14.2 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017. This benefit increased income from operations by $2.2 million for the three months ended, and decreased ending inventory by $12.0 million as of July 1, 2017. Net income increased by $1.5 million and diluted earnings per share increased by $0.01 for the three months ended July 1, 2017 as a result of this change in accounting estimate.

This change in depreciable lives is expected to lower depreciation expense for the remainder of fiscal 2018 by approximately $45.0 million (benefiting gross margin by approximately $37.0 million and decreasing operating expenses by approximately $8.0 million).

Interest income	766			278
Other expense	(934		)	(500		)
Income tax benefit	9,644			3,993

Interest Expense

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded interest expense related to our senior notes of $17.3 million (which was offset by $5.6 million of capitalized interest) as compared to $17.5 million (which was offset by $3.0 million of capitalized interest) for the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016.

For the three months ended July 1, 2017, we had an income tax benefit of $9.6 million which was comprised primarily of tax benefit related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses and tax benefit relating to the adoption of new accounting guidance relating to stock compensation, offset by a tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income and tax expense relating to the adoption of new accounting guidance relating to intra-entity transfers of assets. For the three months ended July 2, 2016, income tax benefit was $4.0 million which was comprised primarily of tax benefit related to international operations generating pre-tax book losses offset by a tax expense related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book income.

A valuation allowance remained against certain domestic and foreign net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will not be realized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity. As of July 1, 2017, we had working capital of approximately $1,105.3 million, including $512.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $1,042.8 million at April 1, 2017, including $545.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Our $512.6 million of total cash and cash equivalents as of July 1, 2017 includes approximately $403.6 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. If the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are needed in the U.S., we may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate. Our current plans are to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

Stock Repurchases

On November 3, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $500.0 million of our outstanding stock. Under this program, share repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which we repurchase our shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases will depend on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require us to repurchase a minimum number of shares and 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 1, 2017, we repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares of our common stock for approximately $31.9 million. As of July 1, 2017, $350.1 million remains available for repurchases under this share repurchase program.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities for the three months ended July 1, 2017 generated cash of $103.6 million, compared to $59.4 million for the three months ended July 2, 2016. This year-over-year increase was driven by changes in accounts receivable primarily due to the timing of shipments.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $117.4 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017, compared to $75.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2016. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we received proceeds from available-for-sale securities of $172.9 million, which was partially offset by the purchase of a business for $117.5 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $19.8 million for the three months ended July 1, 2017, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $23.2 million for the three months ended July 2, 2016. This year-over-year increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to stock repurchases in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit Agreement On April 7, 2015, we and certain of our material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender, and L/C issuer, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. We may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $150.0 million. The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. We had no outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement as of July 1, 2017.

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, including financial covenants that we must maintain. On November 12, 2015, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the size of certain of the negative covenant baskets and the threshold for certain negative covenant incurrence-based permissions and to raise the consolidated leverage ratio test from 2.50 to 1.00 to 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. We must also maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. At July 1, 2017, we were in full compliance with these covenants. See Note 6 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Credit Agreement.

Notes Offering On November 19, 2015, we completed an offering of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes due December 1, 2023 and $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due December 1, 2025 (collectively the "Notes"). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors. Interest on both series of the Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year and commenced on June 1, 2016. Interest paid on the Notes during the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016 was $34.4 million and $36.7 million, respectively.

Capital Commitments At July 1, 2017, we had capital commitments of approximately $56.4 million primarily related to projects to increase our premium filter capacity, constructing a new office and design center, projects for manufacturing cost savings initiatives, equipment replacements and general corporate purposes. We expect capital expenditures in fiscal 2018 to be lower than capital expenditures in fiscal 2017.

Future Sources of Funding Our future capital requirements may differ materially from those currently anticipated and will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, market acceptance of and demand for our products, acquisition opportunities, technological advances and our relationships with suppliers and customers. Based on current and projected levels of cash flow from operations, coupled with our existing cash and cash equivalents and our revolving credit facility, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet both our short-term and long-term cash requirements. However, if there is a significant decrease in demand for our products, or in the event that growth is faster than we anticipate, operating cash flows may be insufficient to meet our needs. If existing resources and cash from operations are not sufficient to meet our future requirements or if we perceive conditions to be favorable, we may seek additional debt or equity financing. We cannot be sure that any additional equity or debt financing will not be dilutive to holders of our common stock. Further, we cannot be sure that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Legal We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business that have not been fully adjudicated. These actions, when finally concluded and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Taxes We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and foreign tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of revenues and expenses in different jurisdictions. Additionally, the amount of taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are subject to audits by tax authorities. While we endeavor to comply with all applicable tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law than we do or that we will comply in all respects with applicable tax laws, which could result in additional taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from tax audits will not have an adverse effect on our results of operations in the period during which the review is conducted.

ITEM 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 2018. 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 1, 2017.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 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 in 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 1, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2017, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2017 are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
