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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "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, 2023.

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. The Company operates under three segments, High Performance Analog ("HPA"), Connectivity and Sensors Group ("CSG") and Advanced Cellular Group ("ACG").

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2024 presentation.

The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. Each fiscal year, the first quarter ends on the Saturday closest to June 30, the second quarter ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 and the third quarter ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal years 2024 and 2023 are 52-week years.

The components of inventories, net of reserves, are as follows (in thousands):

3. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows (in thousands):


	HPA		CSG		ACG		Total
Balance as of April 1, 2023 (1)	$	501,602	$	525,351	$	1,733,860	$	2,760,813
Goodwill impairment	—		(221,414)		—		(221,414)
Effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates	—		1,062		—		1,062
Balance as of December 30, 2023 (1)	$	501,602	$	304,999	$	1,733,860	$	2,540,461

(1) The Company’s goodwill balance is presented net of accumulated impairment losses and write-offs totaling $903.4 million and $682.0 million as of December 30, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively, which were recognized in fiscal years 2009, 2013, 2014, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company completed an interim test for goodwill impairment as management determined, based on revisions to long-term forecasts, it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit within the CSG segment was below its carrying amount. The quantitative analysis, which considered the income approach and the market approach to estimate the reporting unit's fair value, resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $48.0 million. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company concluded that an impairment triggering event occurred for this same

(Unaudited)

reporting unit within the CSG segment as new information was received regarding slower than expected market adoption for one of CSG's new technologies and lower attach rates for a second CSG technology (resulting in further revisions to the long-term forecasts of this reporting unit). The Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of this reporting unit was below its carrying amount, and a quantitative analysis was performed. The quantitative analysis, which considered the income approach and the market approach to estimate the reporting unit's fair value, resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $173.4 million. These goodwill impairment charges are recorded in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following summarizes information regarding the gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of intangible assets (in thousands):


	December 30, 2023				April 1, 2023

At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Company removes the gross asset and accumulated amortization amounts of intangible assets that have reached the end of their useful lives and have been fully amortized. Useful lives are estimated based on the expected economic benefit to be derived from the intangible assets.

The Credit Agreement amended and restated the previous credit agreement dated as of December 5, 2017. The Credit Agreement includes a senior revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") of up to $300.0 million, and included a senior term loan that was fully repaid in fiscal 2022. The Revolving Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the 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, among other things, securing additional funding commitments from the existing or new lenders.

On April 6, 2022, the Company and the administrative agent entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "LIBOR Transition Amendment") to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate as a reference rate available for use in the computation

of interest under the Credit Agreement. As a result of the LIBOR Transition Amendment, at the Company’s option, loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at (i) the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Applicable Rate plus a rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate as set by the administrative agent, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0% (the "Base Rate"). All swing line loans will bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus the Base Rate. The Term SOFR is the rate per annum equal to the forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate term rate for interest periods of one, three or six months (as selected by the Company) plus an adjustment (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Applicable Rate for Term SOFR loans ranges from 1.000% per annum to 1.250% per annum, and the Applicable Rate for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.000% per annum to 0.250% per annum. Undrawn amounts under the Revolving Facility are subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.150% to 0.200%.

On June 23, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"). The purpose of the Second Amendment was to amend certain covenants related to the Company’s ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement (the "Consolidated Leverage Ratio"). The Second Amendment increased the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended July 1, 2023 and September 30, 2023, and 3.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended December 30, 2023 and ending March 30, 2024. For subsequent fiscal quarters, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio will return to 3.00 to 1.00.

During the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

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. As of December 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Senior Notes due 2024

On December 14, 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.750% senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"). The 2024 Notes will mature on December 15, 2024, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.

The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 14, 2021 (the "2021 Indenture"), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2021 Indenture contains customary events of default, including payment default, exchange default, failure to provide certain notices thereunder and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The 2021 Indenture also contains customary negative covenants.

In connection with the offering of the 2024 Notes, the Company agreed to provide the holders of the 2024 Notes with an opportunity to exchange the 2024 Notes for registered notes having terms substantially identical to the 2024 Notes. On November 24, 2023, the Company completed the exchange offer, in which substantially all of the privately placed 2024 Notes were exchanged for new notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In December 2023, the Company repurchased $18.7 million of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on the open market. The Company recognized a net gain on debt extinguishment of $0.7 million, which is included in "Other income, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining principal amount of the 2024 Notes of $481.3 million is included in "Current portion of long-term debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2023.

Interest is payable on the 2024 Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Company paid interest of $4.2 million and $8.6 million on the 2024 Notes during the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, respectively, and paid interest of $4.4 million and $8.8 million on the 2024 Notes during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

(Unaudited)

$300.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of such notes (together, the "Additional 2029 Notes" and collectively with the Initial 2029 Notes, the "2029 Notes"). The 2029 Notes will mature on October 15, 2029, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.

The Initial 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 30, 2019, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee, and the Additional 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to supplemental indentures, dated as of December 20, 2019, and June 11, 2020 (such indenture and supplemental indentures, collectively, the "2019 Indenture"). The 2019 Indenture contains substantially the same customary events of default and negative covenants as the 2021 Indenture.

Interest is payable on the 2029 Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company paid interest of $18.6 million on the 2029 Notes during both the three months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and paid interest of $37.2 million during both the nine months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Senior Notes due 2031

On September 29, 2020, the Company issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"). The 2031 Notes will mature on April 1, 2031, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2031 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.

The 2031 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 29, 2020, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "2020 Indenture"). The 2020 Indenture contains substantially the same customary events of default and negative covenants as the 2021 Indenture.

Interest is payable on the 2031 Notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Company paid interest of $11.8 million on the 2031 Notes during the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023. The Company paid no interest on the 2031 Notes during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and paid interest of $11.8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Fair Value of Debt

The Company's debt is carried at amortized cost and is measured at fair value quarterly for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes as of December 30, 2023 was $462.1 million, $803.9 million and $602.2 million, respectively (compared to the outstanding principal amount of $481.3 million, $850.0 million and $700.0 million, respectively). The estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes as of April 1, 2023 was $464.2 million, $785.9 million and $565.3 million, respectively (compared to the outstanding principal amount of $500.0 million, $850.0 million and $700.0 million, respectively). The Company considers its debt to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments. The 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes currently trade over-the-counter, and the fair values were estimated based upon the value of the last trade at the end of the period.

Interest Expense

During the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, the Company recognized $18.2 million and $54.2 million of interest expense, respectively, primarily related to the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, partially offset by interest capitalized to property and equipment of $0.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $18.1 million and $54.2 million of interest expense, respectively, primarily related to the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, partially offset by interest capitalized to property and equipment of $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

6. STOCK REPURCHASES

On November 2, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock, which included the remaining authorized dollar amount under a prior program terminated concurrent with the new authorization.

Under the current program, share repurchases are made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases depends on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares, does not have a fixed term, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without prior notice. As of January 1, 2023, the Company's share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act. The excise tax is recognized as part of the cost basis of shares acquired in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.

During the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million and 3.1 million shares of its common stock, respectively, for approximately $100.8 million and $302.0 million, respectively (including transaction costs and excise tax) under the current share repurchase program. As of December 30, 2023, approximately $1,405.0 million remains authorized for repurchases under the current share repurchase program.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 2.2 million and 7.2 million shares of its common stock, respectively, for approximately $201.6 million and $711.7 million, respectively (including transaction costs) under the prior and current share repurchase programs.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a long-term capacity reservation agreement with a foundry supplier to purchase a certain number of wafers through calendar year 2025. In fiscal 2023, the agreement was amended, and the term was extended through calendar year 2026. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded charges of $110.0 million to "Cost of goods sold" based on the actual and estimated purchase shortfalls. No charges were recorded to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter or second quarter of fiscal 2024 as a result of this agreement.

In October 2023, the agreement was further amended. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company is no longer obligated to order silicon wafers from the foundry supplier and the agreement was terminated effective December 31, 2023. A contract termination fee of $65.0 million, which is expected to be paid by the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, was recorded to “Cost of goods sold” and "Other current liabilities" in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Legal Matters

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business that have not been fully adjudicated. The Company accrues a liability for legal contingencies when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of the previously accrued liability and records adjustments as appropriate. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of the unresolved legal matters, it is the opinion of management that these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal matters is not material.

9. RESTRUCTURING

During fiscal 2023, the Company initiated actions to improve efficiencies in its operations and further align the organization with its strategic objectives. These initiatives (the "2023 Restructuring Initiatives") included seeking strategic alternatives related to its non-core biotechnology business. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of its non-core biotechnology business, which is recorded in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company will continue to evaluate its operating footprint, cost structure and strategic opportunities, but does not expect to incur additional material charges related to the 2023 Restructuring Initiatives.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with a global advanced contract manufacturer (the "Purchaser"), to sell its assembly and test facilities in Beijing and Dezhou, China (the "2024 Restructuring Initiative"). The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of calendar 2024, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions. Assembly and test services will be provided to the Company by the Purchaser under a long-term supply agreement upon completion of the transaction. In connection with the 2024 Restructuring Initiative, the Company incurred immaterial legal and professional fees, recorded to "Other operating expense," in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, and expects to incur additional restructuring-related charges related to this initiative. Restructuring charges recorded by the Company are not allocated to its reportable segments.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's restructuring liabilities for the nine months ended December 30, 2023 (in thousands):


	One-Time Employee Termination Benefits		Contract Termination and Other Costs		Total

The accrued restructuring balances as of December 30, 2023 represent estimated future cash payments required to satisfy the Company's remaining obligations, the majority of which are expected to be paid in the next twelve months.

10. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's three operating and reportable segments, HPA, CSG, and ACG, are based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of each of the three operating segments primarily based on operating income. The Company’s manufacturing facilities service and provide benefit to all three operating segments and the operating costs of the facilities are reflected in the cost of goods sold of each operating segment, on the basis of product cost. The Company’s operating segments do not record intercompany revenue. The Company does not allocate gains and losses from investments, interest expense, other income (expense), or taxes to operating segments. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.

HPA is a leading global supplier of radio frequency ("RF") and power management solutions for automotive, defense and aerospace, cellular infrastructure, broadband, industrial, enterprise and consumer markets. HPA leverages a diverse portfolio of differentiated technologies and products to support multiyear growth trends, including electrification, renewable energy, the increasing semiconductor spend in defense and aerospace, and 5G and 6G network infrastructure.

CSG is a leading global supplier of connectivity and sensor solutions, with broad expertise spanning ultra-wideband, Matter®, Bluetooth® Low Energy, Zigbee®, Thread®, Wi-Fi®, cellular Internet of Things, microelectromechanical system-based sensors and bulk acoustic wave-based sensors. CSG’s markets include home and consumer electronics, industrial automation, automotive, smartphones, wearables, and industrial and enterprise access points.

ACG is a leading global supplier of cellular RF solutions for smartphones, wearables, laptops, tablets and other devices. ACG leverages world-class technology and systems-level expertise to deliver a broad portfolio of high performance cellular products to the world's leading smartphone and consumer electronics companies.

The "All other" category includes operating expenses such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring-related charges, acquisition and integration-related costs, goodwill impairment, charges associated with a long-term capacity reservation agreement, gain (loss) on disposal of business and assets and other miscellaneous corporate overhead expenses that the Company does not allocate to its operating segments because these expenses are not included in the segment operating performance measures evaluated by the Company’s CODM. 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.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense was $83.1 million and $117.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, respectively, and income tax expense was $13.2 million and $82.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was (189.9)% and 265.9% for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, respectively, and (474.1)% and 25.4% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, global intangible low tax income ("GILTI"), domestic tax credits generated, discrete charges and tax items recorded during the periods including effects of non-deductible goodwill impairment charges within the CSG segment. A discrete tax expense of $40.2 million and $45.7 million was recorded during the three and

Table of Contents

QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

nine months ended December 30, 2023, respectively. The discrete tax expense for the three months ended December 30, 2023 primarily related to the tax impacts of the Company’s reversal of its permanent reinvestment assertion, sale of its non-core biotechnology business, termination of a long-term capacity reservation agreement, and the correlative effects on GILTI. The discrete tax expense for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023 was also impacted by foreign currency gains recognized for tax purposes.

The Company continually evaluates its global cash needs and has historically asserted that some of its unremitted foreign earnings were permanently reinvested. During the three months ended December 30, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its assembly and test facilities in China (refer to Note 9 for additional information), and it was determined the Company could no longer support its permanent reinvestment assertion on related, unremitted earnings. In relation to the reversal of its permanent reinvestment assertion, the Company recorded a $28.2 million discrete tax expense during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, and as of December 30, 2023, the Company no longer asserts that any of the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, GILTI, domestic tax credits generated and discrete tax items recorded during the periods. A discrete tax expense of $2.2 million and discrete tax benefit of $10.4 million was recorded during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The discrete tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 primarily resulted from foreign currency gains recognized for tax purposes. The discrete tax benefit for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 primarily resulted from certain charges associated with a long-term capacity reservation agreement, partially offset by foreign currency gains recognized for tax purposes.

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2024 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

•Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 44.5% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to content gains at our largest end customer as well as an increase in demand for our advanced cellular products for mass market smartphones.

•Gross margin remained flat at 36.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to improved factory utilization and lower inventory charges, offset by a termination fee related to a long-term capacity reservation agreement and average selling price erosion.

•Operating loss was $41.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to operating income of $8.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge, partially offset by higher revenue.

•Net loss per share was $1.31 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to net loss per share of $0.16 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Revenue increased for the three months ended December 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to content gains at our largest end customer. In addition, demand increased for our advanced cellular products for mass market smartphones and Wi-Fi products, as channel inventory levels improved and shipments more closely aligned with end market demand.

Revenue decreased for the nine months ended December 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022. In the first half of fiscal 2024, challenges in the global macroeconomic environment negatively impacted demand for our advanced cellular products for mass market smartphones and products in other markets including cellular infrastructure, Wi-Fi, power management and broadband. Demand for our products in the cellular infrastructure, broadband and power management markets was also negatively impacted by higher channel inventory. Over the course of fiscal 2024, channel inventory levels improved in other markets, and shipments of our advanced cellular products in mass market smartphones and Wi-Fi products more closely aligned with end market demand. Content gains at our largest end customer partially offset the decreased revenue for the nine months ended December 30, 2023.

Gross margin was flat for the three months ended December 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to improved factory utilization and lower inventory charges, offset by a termination fee related to a long-term capacity reservation agreement and average selling price erosion.

Gross margin decreased for the nine months ended December 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to average selling price erosion.

In fiscal 2022, we entered into a long-term capacity reservation agreement with a foundry supplier to purchase a certain number of wafers through calendar year 2025. In fiscal 2023, the agreement was amended and the term was extended through calendar

year 2026. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we recorded charges of $110.0 million to "Cost of goods sold" based on our actual and estimated purchase shortfalls. No charges were recorded to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter or second quarter of fiscal 2024 as a result of this agreement. In October 2023, the agreement was further amended. Pursuant to the amendment, we are no longer obligated to order silicon wafers from the foundry supplier and the agreement was terminated effective December 31, 2023. A contract termination fee of $65.0 million, which is expected to be paid by the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, was recorded to "Cost of goods sold" and "Other current liabilities" in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Operating expenses increased for the three months ended December 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge and higher employee-related costs, partially offset by lower restructuring charges. Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the goodwill impairment charge.

Operating expenses increased for the nine months ended December 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to goodwill impairment charges and higher employee-related costs, partially offset by lower restructuring charges. In addition, in fiscal 2024, we began a multiyear project to upgrade the core systems we use to run our business and recorded consulting expenses associated with this project.

Interest expense

During the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recorded interest expense primarily related to our 1.750% senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"), our 4.375% senior notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") and our

3.375% senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"). Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other income, net

During the three months ended December 30, 2023, we recorded interest income of $9.6 million and net gains of $3.8 million from our share of the results from our limited partnership investments and other investments. During the nine months ended December 30, 2023, we recorded interest income of $25.5 million and net gains of $5.9 million from our share of the results from our limited partnership investments and other investments.

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded interest income of $8.1 million and net losses of $3.7 million from our share of the results from our limited partnership investments and other investments. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded interest income of $12.8 million and net losses of $10.9 million from our share of the results from our limited partnership investments and other investments.

Income tax expense

During the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $83.1 million and $117.1 million, respectively, comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income, the impact of global intangible low tax income ("GILTI") and discrete tax items, partially offset by tax benefits related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses and domestic tax credits recorded during the periods. The discrete tax expense for the three months ended December 30, 2023 primarily related to the tax impacts of the Company’s reversal of its permanent reinvestment assertion, sale of its non-core biotechnology business, termination of a long-term capacity reservation agreement, and the correlative effects on GILTI. The discrete tax expense for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023 was also impacted by foreign currency gains recognized for tax purposes.

During the three months ended December 30, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its assembly and test facilities in China (refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information), and we determined the Company could no longer support its permanent reinvestment assertion on related, unremitted earnings. In relation to the reversal of our permanent reinvestment assertion, we recorded a $28.2 million discrete tax expense during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, and as of December 30, 2023, the Company no longer asserts that any of the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded income tax expense of $13.2 million and $82.1 million, respectively, comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income and the impact of GILTI, partially offset by tax benefits related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses, domestic tax credits generated and discrete tax items recorded during the periods. The discrete tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 primarily resulted from foreign currency gains recognized for tax purposes. The discrete tax benefit for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 primarily resulted from certain charges associated with a long-term capacity reservation agreement (refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information), partially offset by foreign currency gains recognized for tax purposes.

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 December 30, 2023, we had working capital of approximately $1,148.0 million, including $1,072.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $1,474.0 million, including $808.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of April 1, 2023.

Our $1,072.0 million of total cash and cash equivalents as of December 30, 2023, includes approximately $915.8 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $642.1 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.

Table of Contents

We may from time to time in the future seek to retire or make additional optional payments on our outstanding debt obligations through repurchases or exchanges of our outstanding notes, which may be effected through privately negotiated transactions, market transactions, tender offers, redemptions or otherwise. Such tenders, exchanges, purchases, or other transactions, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. In December 2023, we repurchased $18.7 million of the principal amount of our 2024 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on the open market. The remaining principal amount of the 2024 Notes of $481.3 million is included in "Current portion of long-term debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2023.

Stock Repurchases

During the nine months ended December 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares of our common stock for approximately $302.0 million (including transaction costs and excise tax) under our share repurchase program. As of December 30, 2023, approximately $1,405.0 million remains authorized for repurchases under the program.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $630.8 million and $777.8 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to decreased profitability.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $23.3 million and $117.4 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the nine months ended December 30, 2023, we received proceeds of $47.4 million primarily from the sale of our BAW manufacturing facility in Farmers Branch, Texas.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $327.9 million and $714.0 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, primarily due to our stock repurchases. Refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our stock repurchases.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit Agreement On September 29, 2020, we and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., acting as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the previous credit agreement dated as of December 5, 2017. The Credit Agreement includes a senior revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") of up to $300.0 million, and included a senior term loan that was fully repaid in fiscal 2022. The Revolving Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, we may request one or more additional tranches of term loans or increases to the Revolving Facility, up to an aggregate of $500.0 million and subject to, among other things, securing additional funding commitments from the existing or new lenders.

On June 23, 2023, we entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"). The purpose of the Second Amendment was to amend certain covenants related to our ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement (the "Consolidated Leverage Ratio"). The Second Amendment increases the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended July 1, 2023 and September 30, 2023, and 3.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended December 30, 2023 and ending March 30, 2024. For subsequent fiscal quarters, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio will return to 3.00 to 1.00.

During the nine months ended December 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which we must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default. As of December 30, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The 2031 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.

For additional information regarding our debt, refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital Commitments As of December 30, 2023, we had capital commitments of approximately $104.6 million primarily for expanding capability to support new products, equipment and facility upgrades and cost savings initiatives.

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

Legal We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business that have not been fully adjudicated. We accrue a liability for legal contingencies when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of the previously accrued liability and record adjustments as appropriate. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of the unresolved legal matters, it is the opinion of management that these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. We believe the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal matters is not material.

Taxes We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and foreign tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of revenue 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

which are listed on Exhibit 22 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Each Guarantor is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Qorvo, Inc. ("Parent").

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. 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, 2023.

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 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 our CEO and 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 December 30, 2023, 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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 April 1, 2023, 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.

On November 2, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock, which included the remaining authorized dollar amount under a prior program terminated concurrent with the new authorization. Under the current program, share repurchases are made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which we repurchase our shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases depends on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require us to repurchase a minimum number of shares, does not have a fixed term, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without prior notice.

As of January 1, 2023, our share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act. The excise tax is recognized as part of the cost basis of shares acquired in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity and is excluded from amounts presented above.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
