1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Qorvo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (together, the “Company” or “Qorvo”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which could differ materially from actual results. In addition, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain items in the fiscal 2020 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 2021 presentation.

The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The first fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30, the second fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 and the third fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2021 is a 53-week fiscal year during which the second fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020 and included 14 weeks, compared to 13 weeks for the second fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019. The first six months of fiscal 2021 ended October 3, 2020 and included 27 weeks, compared to 26 weeks for the six months ended September 28, 2019.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company assesses recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to determine the expected impacts on the Company's financial statements. The summary below describes impacts from newly issued standards as well as material updates to our previous assessments, if any, from Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020.

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

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

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

4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

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

7Hugs Labs S.A.S.

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

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

The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible liabilities, deferred tax liability and intangible asset resulted in goodwill of approximately $18.5 million. The Company will continue to evaluate certain assets, liabilities and tax estimates over the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). During the three months ended October 3, 2020, the Company recorded acquisition and integration costs associated with the acquisition of 7Hugs of $1.4 million in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Decawave Limited

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

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

Custom MMIC Design Services, Inc.

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

QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)

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

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

Cavendish Kinetics Limited

As of September 28, 2019, the Company had an investment in preferred shares in Cavendish, a private supplier of high-performance radio frequency ("RF") microelectromechanical system ("MEMS") technology for antenna tuning applications, with a carrying value of $59.4 million. The Company accounted for this investment as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value using the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321, "Investments-Equity Securities."

On October 4, 2019, the Company acquired the remaining issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish for cash consideration of $198.4 million. The acquisition advances RF MEMS technology for applications across the Company's products and the technology will be transitioned into high-volume manufacturing for mobile devices and other markets.

The purchase of the remaining equity interest in Cavendish was considered to be an acquisition achieved in stages, whereby the previously held equity interest was remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value. The Company determined that the fair value of its previously held equity investment was $102.4 million based on the purchase consideration exchanged to acquire the remaining issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish, which resulted in recognition of a gain of $43.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

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

Active-Semi International, Inc.

On May 6, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Active-Semi, a private fabless supplier of programmable analog power management solutions, for a total purchase price of $307.9 million. The acquisition expanded the Company's product offerings in power management markets.

During the six months ended October 3, 2020, the Company recognized an increase to goodwill of approximately $0.1 million in connection with finalizing the purchase price allocation. The measurement period ended one year from the acquisition date.

Credit Agreement

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

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

Pursuant to the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company may request one or more additional tranches of term loans or increases to the Revolving Facility, up to an aggregate of $500.0 million and subject to securing additional funding commitments from the existing or new lenders. The Revolving Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. The Credit Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Outstanding amounts are due in full on the maturity date of September 29, 2025, subject to scheduled amortization of the 2020 Term Loan principal prior to the maturity date as set forth in the 2020 Credit Agreement. During the six months ended October 3, 2020, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

At the Company’s option, loans under the 2020 Credit Agreement will bear interest at (i) the Applicable Rate (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Applicable Rate plus a rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate as set by the Administrative Agent, and (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). All swing line loans will bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus the Base Rate. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate per annum equal to the reserve adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate), for dollar deposits for interest periods of one, two, three or six months, as selected by the Company. The Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate loans ranges from 1.000% per annum to 1.250% per annum and is set at 1.125% per annum until the delivery of the Company’s first compliance certificate to the lenders following the fiscal quarter ending January 2, 2021. The Applicable Rate for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.000% per annum to 0.250% per annum, and is set at 0.125% per annum until the delivery of the Company’s first compliance certificate to the lenders following the fiscal

quarter ending January 2, 2021. Undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility are subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.150% to 0.200%. Interest for Eurodollar Rate loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period or at three-month intervals if such interest period exceeds three months. Interest for Base Rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears.

The 2020 Credit Agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which the Company must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default. As of October 3, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

During the three and six months ended October 3, 2020 and September 28, 2019, interest paid on the 2026 Notes was $24.8 million.

8. STOCK REPURCHASES

On October 31, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock, which included approximately $117.0 million authorized under the prior program which was terminated concurrent with the new authorization. Under this program, share repurchases are made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases depends on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares, does not have a fixed term, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

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

During the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 2.3 million and 3.8 million shares, respectively, of its common stock for approximately $165.0 million and $265.1 million, respectively, under the prior share repurchase program.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Legal Matters

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

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business that have not been fully adjudicated. These actions, when finally concluded and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

12. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's operating and reportable segments as of October 3, 2020 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.

MP is a global supplier of cellular, UWB and Wi-Fi solutions for a variety of high-volume markets, including smartphones, wearables, laptops, tablets and IoT applications.

IDP is a global supplier of RF, system-on-a-chip and power management solutions for wireless infrastructure, defense, smart home, automotive, and IoT.

The "All other" category includes operating expenses such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration related costs, restructuring related charges, start-up costs, accelerated depreciation, 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.

13. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended October 3, 2020 and September 28, 2019 was 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 those respective periods.

The Company’s income tax expense was $63.2 million for the three and six months ended October 3, 2020, and the Company’s income tax expense was $19.0 million and $24.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019. The Company’s effective tax rate was 31.6% and 21.3% for the three and six months ended October 3, 2020, respectively, and 18.6% and 16.8% for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended October 3, 2020 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 charge of $45.2 million and $35.2 million was recorded during the three and six months ended October 3, 2020, respectively. The discrete charge primarily relates to the intercompany restructuring of the Cavendish intellectual property, partially offset by discrete tax benefits recognized for stock-based compensation deductions and a retroactive incentive allowing previously non-deductible payments to be amortized. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019 differed from the statutory rate primarily

(Unaudited)

due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, GILTI, domestic tax credits generated, foreign permanent differences, the discrete treatment of post-combination compensation related expenses due to the Active-Semi acquisition, and a discrete expense related to the Company’s change in its permanent reinvestment assertion for certain unrepatriated foreign earnings previously subject to U.S. federal taxation.

14. 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):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	October 3, 2020		September 28, 2019		October 3, 2020		September 28, 2019
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted net income per share — net income available to common stockholders	$	136,917	$	83,038	$	233,839	$	122,579
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net income per share — weighted average shares	114,328		117,294		114,388		117,945
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock-based awards	1,849		2,135		2,007		2,251
Denominator for diluted net income per share — adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions	116,177		119,429		116,395		120,196
Basic net income per share	$	1.20	$	0.71	$	2.04	$	1.04
Diluted net income per share	$	1.18	$	0.70	$	2.01	$	1.02

In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended October 3, 2020, approximately 0.3 million and 0.1 million outstanding shares, respectively, were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, approximately 0.4 million and 0.2 million outstanding shares, respectively, were excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Prior to October 3, 2020, in connection with the offering of the 2031 Notes, the Company delivered to MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee, a Notice of Redemption for the $900.0 million principal balance of the 2026 Notes. On October 16, 2020, the Company completed the redemption of the 2026 Notes at a redemption price equal to 106.363% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, for a total cash payment of $969.8 million. The 2026 Notes were redeemed using proceeds from the recent issuance of the 2031 Notes combined with cash on hand plus borrowings under the 2020 Term Loan.

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 leader in the development and commercialization of technologies and products for wireless and wired connectivity. We combine a broad portfolio of innovative radio frequency ("RF") solutions, highly differentiated semiconductor technologies, systems-level expertise and global manufacturing scale to supply a diverse set of customers a broad range of products that enable a more connected world.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic downturn are affecting business conditions in our industry. During the six months ended October 3, 2020, we did not encounter material disruptions to our global supply chain or operations, and we believe that our cash on hand (including from our recently issued senior notes), cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility provide us with sufficient liquidity. The duration, severity, and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly uncertain, however, and may result in significant disruptions to our operations, including our supply chain, as well as negative impacts to our financial condition. We will continue to monitor the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, as well as our customers' and suppliers' businesses.

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-wide band and Wi-Fi solutions for a variety of high-volume markets, including smartphones, wearables, laptops, tablets and Internet of Things ("IoT") applications.

IDP is a global supplier of RF, system-on-a-chip and power management solutions for wireless infrastructure, defense, smart home, automotive, and IoT.

Table of Contents

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 non-GAAP operating income (see Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding our operating segments).

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2021 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

Fiscal 2021 is a 53-week fiscal year during which the second fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020 and included 14 weeks, compared to 13 weeks for the second fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019. The first six months of fiscal 2021 ended October 3, 2020 and included 27 weeks, compared to 26 weeks for the six months ended September 28, 2019. This additional week impacts the following year-over-year results of operations.


•	Quarterly revenue increased 31.4% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily due to higher demand for our mobile products in support of smartphone customers in China and Korea, higher demand for our 5G base station products (primarily in China), and higher demand for our Wi-Fi products.


•	Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was 46.4% as compared to 40.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily due to overall favorable factory utilization, lower inventory adjustments and lower restructuring charges, partially offset by average selling price erosion.

•

Operating income was $221.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to $112.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher revenue and higher gross margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Operating expenses increased primarily due to higher personnel costs and increased product development spend resulting from our recent acquisitions.


•	Net income per diluted share was $1.18 for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to $0.70 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.


•	Capital expenditures were $43.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to $38.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.


•	During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately $105.0 million.


•	During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed the acquisition of 7Hugs Labs S.A.S. ("7Hugs") for a total purchase price of $48.7 million, including cash acquired of $1.0 million.


•	During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.375% senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes").

•

During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility, which includes a senior term loan (the "2020 Term Loan") of up to $200.0 million. On the closing date, we drew the full amount of the 2020 Term Loan and concurrently repaid the $97.5 million remaining principal balance of the term loan under a previous credit facility (see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).


•	Subsequent to quarter end, we completed the redemption of our 5.50% senior notes due July 15, 2026 (the "2026 Notes") at a redemption price equal to 106.363% of the principal amount of $900.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest (see Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Revenue increased for the three months ended October 3, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2019, primarily due to higher demand for our mobile products in support of smartphone customers in China and Korea, higher demand for our 5G base station products (primarily in China), and higher demand for our Wi-Fi products.

Revenue increased for the six months ended October 3, 2020 as compared to the six months ended September 28, 2019, primarily due to higher demand for our 5G base station products (primarily in China), higher demand for our mobile products in support of smartphone customers in China and Korea, and higher demand for our Wi-Fi products, partially offset by lower shipments of our mobile products to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and affiliates ("Huawei").

On May 16, 2019, the Bureau of Industry and Security of the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Commerce") added Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and over 100 of its affiliates to the Entity List maintained by Commerce, which caused us to temporarily suspend the shipment of all products to Huawei. In August 2020, Commerce issued a final rule adding additional Huawei non-U.S. affiliates to the Entity List, confirming the expiration of a temporary general license applicable to Huawei, and amending the foreign-produced direct product rule in a manner that represents a significant expansion of its application to Huawei. While we restarted shipments to Huawei of certain products from outside the U.S. that were not subject to the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") in fiscal 2020, during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, as a result of and in compliance with the most recent Commerce action, we suspended shipments of products to Huawei. While we have obtained a license to allow us to ship certain mobile products in compliance with the most recent Commerce action, our sales to Huawei will continue to be impacted by trade restrictions.

Gross margin increased for the three months ended October 3, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 28, 2019, primarily due to overall favorable factory utilization, lower inventory adjustments and lower restructuring charges, partially offset by average selling price erosion.

Interest expense

During the three and six months ended October 3, 2020, we recorded interest expense of $24.6 million and $44.6 million, respectively, which was partially offset by $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of capitalized interest. During the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, we recorded interest expense of $14.0 million and $27.6 million, respectively, which was partially offset by $1.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of capitalized interest. Interest expense increased as a result of the issuance of the 4.375% senior notes due October 15, 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other income (expense), net

During the three and six months ended October 3, 2020, we recorded $0.1 million of expense and $15.6 million of income, respectively, based on our share of the earnings from our investments in two limited partnerships.

Income tax expense

Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended October 3, 2020 and September 28, 2019 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 discrete items) for those respective periods.

For the three and six months ended October 3, 2020, we recorded income tax expense of $63.2 million, which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income, and discrete tax items recorded

Table of Contents

during the period. The discrete tax expense items primarily relate to the intercompany restructuring of the Cavendish Kinetics Limited intellectual property, partially offset by discrete tax benefits recognized for stock-based compensation deductions and a retroactive incentive allowing previously non-deductible payments to be amortized. For the three and six months ended September 28, 2019, we recorded income tax expense of $19.0 million and $24.7 million, respectively, which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income and the reversal of the permanent reinvestment assertion with regards to unrepatriated foreign earnings, partially offset by a tax benefit related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses and domestic tax credits.

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 October 3, 2020, we had working capital of approximately $1,585.7 million, including $2,000.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $1,151.5 million, including $714.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 28, 2020.

The cash balance at October 3, 2020 includes $700.0 million from the issuance of the 2031 Notes which was used subsequent to quarter end (combined with cash on hand and the $200.0 million draw under the 2020 Term Loan) to redeem the $900.0 million principal balance of the 2026 Notes. The principal balance of the 2026 Notes was reclassified as of October 3, 2020, from "Long-term debt" to "Current portion of long-term debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet due to our intention to retire the obligation soon after the balance sheet date. See Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the redemption of the 2026 Notes.

Our $2,000.3 million of total cash and cash equivalents as of October 3, 2020 includes approximately $617.0 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $512.7 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 six months ended October 3, 2020, we repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock for approximately $180.0 million under our share repurchase program. As of October 3, 2020, approximately $585.9 million remained available for repurchases under the program.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities for the six months ended October 3, 2020 generated cash of $495.2 million, compared to $430.5 million for the six months ended September 28, 2019, primarily due to increased profitability, partially offset by changes in working capital driven by accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $111.3 million for the six months ended October 3, 2020, compared to $387.3 million for the six months ended September 28, 2019. During the six months ended October 3, 2020, we acquired 7Hugs for $47.7 million (net of cash acquired). During the six months ended September 28, 2019, we acquired Active-Semi International, Inc. for $299.7 million (net of cash acquired). See Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our business acquisitions.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $900.4 million for the six months ended October 3, 2020, compared to $166.3 million of net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended September 28, 2019. During the six months ended October 3, 2020, we received proceeds from (1) the issuance of an additional $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes, (2) the issuance of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes, and (3) the $200.0 million draw under the 2020 Term Loan. In addition, during the six months ended October 3, 2020, we made payments of $100.0 million on the term loan (the "2017 Term Loan") under our previous credit agreement dated as of December 5, 2017 (the "2017 Credit Agreement").

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 (the "2020 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A.

acting as administrative agent and a syndicate of lenders. The 2020 Credit Agreement amended and restated the 2017 Credit Agreement. The 2020 Credit Agreement includes a senior term loan (the "2020 Term Loan") of up to $200.0 million and a senior revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") of up to $300.0 million (collectively the “Credit Facility”).

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

Pursuant to the 2020 Credit Agreement, we may request one or more additional tranches of term loans or increases in the Revolving Facility, up to an aggregate of $500.0 million and subject to securing additional funding commitments from the existing or new lenders. The Revolving Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. The Credit Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes. Outstanding amounts are due in full on the maturity date of September 29, 2025, subject to scheduled amortization of the 2020 Term Loan principal prior to the maturity date as set forth in the 2020 Credit Agreement. During the six months ended October 3, 2020, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

The 2020 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 October 3, 2020, we were in compliance with these covenants.

See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the 2020 Credit Agreement.

Future Sources of Funding Our future capital requirements may differ materially from those currently projected and will depend on many factors, including the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business (including our supply chain), financial conditions, results of operations, cash flow, as well as 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, 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 in the event that growth is faster than we anticipate, operating cash flows may be insufficient to meet our needs. If our existing liquidity combined with 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 debt or equity financing will not be dilutive to holders of our common stock or that 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. 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL PARENT AND GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In accordance with the indentures governing the 2025 Notes, the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes (collectively, the "Notes"), our obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Guarantors, each of which is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Qorvo, Inc.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. 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 March 28, 2020.

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 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 October 3, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of our employees are now working from home. The design of our processes, systems, and controls allows for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Table of Contents

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020. In addition to the risk factor set forth below and the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, 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 March 28, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q 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.

Changes in government trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and export restrictions, have limited and could continue to limit our ability to sell our products to certain customers, which may materially adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

The U.S. or foreign governments have taken and may continue to take administrative, legislative or regulatory action that could materially interfere with our ability to sell products in certain countries, particularly in China. For example, between July 2018 and June 2019, the Office of the United States Trade Representative imposed 25% tariffs on specified product lists, including certain electronic components and equipment, totaling approximately $250 billion in Chinese imports. In response, China imposed or proposed new or higher tariffs on U.S. products. The U.S. government also imposed 15% tariffs on an additional $120 billion of Chinese imports, with China imposing retaliatory tariffs. While the imposition of these tariffs did not have a direct, material adverse impact on our business during fiscal 2020, the direct and indirect effects of tariffs and other restrictive trade policies are difficult to measure and are only one part of a larger U.S./China economic and trade policy disagreement. For example, imposition of tariffs on our customers’ products that are imported from China to the U.S. could harm sales of such products, which would harm our business. We cannot predict what further actions may ultimately be taken with respect to tariffs or trade relations between the U.S. and China or other countries, what products may be subject to such actions, or what actions may be taken by the other countries in retaliation.

Furthermore, we have experienced restrictions on our ability to sell products to certain foreign customers where sales of products require export licenses or are prohibited by government action. The U.S. government has in the past imposed export restrictions that effectively banned American companies from selling products to ZTE Corporation, one of our customers. In May 2019, the Bureau of Industry and Security of the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) added Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and over 100 of its affiliates to the “Entity List” maintained by Commerce, which caused us to temporarily suspend the shipment of products to Huawei. In August 2020, Commerce issued a final rule adding additional Huawei non-U.S. affiliates to the Entity List, confirming the expiration of a temporary general license applicable to Huawei, and amending the foreign-produced direct product rule in a manner that represents a significant expansion of its application to Huawei. Huawei accounted for 10%, 15% and 8% of our total revenue during fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. While we restarted shipments to Huawei of certain products from outside the U.S. that were not subject to the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) in fiscal 2020, during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, as a result of and in compliance with the most recent Commerce action, we suspended shipments of products to Huawei. While we have obtained a license to allow us to ship certain mobile products in compliance with the most recent Commerce action, our sales to Huawei will continue to be impacted by trade restrictions.

As of the date of this report, we are unable to predict the scope and duration of the export restrictions imposed on Huawei and the corresponding future effects on our business. Even if such restrictions are lifted, any financial or other penalties or continuing export restrictions imposed on Huawei could have a continuing negative impact on our future revenue and results of operations. In addition, Huawei or other foreign customers affected by future U.S. government sanctions or threats of sanctions may respond by developing their own solutions to replace our products or by adopting our foreign competitors’ solutions. Moreover, U.S. government actions targeting exports of certain technologies to China are becoming more pervasive. For example, in 2018, the U.S. adopted new laws designed to address concerns about the export of emerging and foundational technologies to China. In addition, in May 2019, an executive order was issued that invoked national emergency economic powers to implement a framework to regulate the acquisition or transfer of information communications technology in transactions that imposed undue national security risks. These actions could lead to additional restrictions on the export of products that include or enable certain technologies, including products we provide to China-based customers.

The loss or temporary loss of Huawei or other foreign customers or the imposition of restrictions on our ability to sell products to such customers as a result of tariffs, export restrictions or other U.S. regulatory actions could materially adversely affect our sales, business and results of operations.

On October 31, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock, which included approximately $117.0 million authorized under the prior program which was terminated concurrent with the new authorization. Under this program, share repurchases are made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which 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.
