NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 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 30, 2024.
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 is organized into three operating and reportable segments that align technologies and applications with customers and end markets: 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 2025 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 2025 and 2024 are 52-week years.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
In August 2022, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act (the "CHIPS Act") was signed into law. The CHIPS Act provides for a 25% refundable tax credit on certain investments in domestic semiconductor manufacturing. The tax credit is provided for qualifying property and equipment which is placed in service after December 31, 2022, and for which construction begins before January 1, 2027. The CHIPS Act also provides for certain other financial incentives to further investments in domestic semiconductor manufacturing. During the three months ended September 28, 2024, the Company recognized an anticipated tax credit within other non-current assets related to qualifying expenditures placed in service since December 31, 2022 (which will be amortized over the useful lives of the qualifying assets), with a corresponding reduction to the carrying amount of the qualifying property and equipment.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires enhanced disclosures related to significant segment expenses. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-07 for its fiscal 2025 annual report and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2026 on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its disclosures.

4. BUSINESS DIVESTITURE
On December 16, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd. ("Luxshare") to divest its assembly and test operations in Beijing and Dezhou, China (the "Disposal Group") for preliminary cash proceeds of approximately $240.0 million (for the cash on hand of the disposed business, the assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group and inventory). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, regulatory approvals were received, and the Disposal Group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"). In accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations," the Disposal Group constituted a business, and therefore, the Company allocated $22.0 million of goodwill from three of its reporting units to assets held for sale based on a relative fair value basis. These reporting units were evaluated for impairment subsequent to the allocation of goodwill to the Disposal Group and it was determined that the fair value of all reporting units was in excess of their carrying amounts. Additionally, in accordance with ASC 360, the Disposal Group was measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. As the carrying value of the Disposal Group exceeded the fair value less costs to sell, a loss of $35.3 million was recognized for the year ended March 30, 2024, which was recorded in "Other operating expense" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The divestiture of the Disposal Group did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations per ASC 205-20, "Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations."
The Company completed the sale of its assembly and test operations in China on May 2, 2024 for a purchase price of approximately $232.0 million, resulting in an incremental loss of $8.0 million (which included an additional goodwill write-off of $1.0 million) recorded in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 29, 2024. The consideration received was for the cash on hand of the disposed business of $29.0 million, the assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group of $76.0 million and inventory of $127.0 million. The purchase price, which was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, increased to $234.0 million in the three months ended September 28, 2024, as a result of a $2.0 million increase in the value of inventory. The inventory amount relates to inventory that the Company sold to Luxshare and is obligated to repurchase at a future date subsequent to the performance of assembly and test services by Luxshare pursuant to a supply agreement. While legal title to the inventory resides with Luxshare, in accordance with ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," the Company will continue to recognize the inventory on its balance sheet and has recorded a financial liability (which is included in "Other current liabilities") equal to the cash received by the Company attributable to the inventory subject to repurchase.
The cash received from the sale of the assets and liabilities of the Disposal Group of $76.0 million is included in cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended September 28, 2024, net of a $20.0 million deposit received in fiscal 2024 upon execution of the Purchase Agreement (which was included in “Other investing activities” in the fiscal 2024 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows). The cash received for the inventory subject to repurchase by the Company is included in cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended September 28, 2024.
5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In fiscal 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to focus on growth drivers and key markets and to streamline operations, the Company decided not to further invest in its silicon carbide (“SiC”) power device business and began to seek strategic alternatives for this business. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company determined that there was a more-likely-than-not expectation of divesting its SiC power device business and impairment testing was triggered. The long-lived assets that are held and used by the power device business were reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360. The impairment testing resulted in the impairment of intangible assets (primarily developed technology) of $16.6 million, which is included in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, as the power device business constitutes a reporting unit within the HPA operating segment, the goodwill of the reporting unit was also subject to an impairment assessment in accordance with ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350") and it was determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value of this reporting unit, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $96.5 million (representing the entire goodwill assigned to this reporting unit). The estimated fair values of the intangible assets and the reporting unit were determined using a market approach. The significant inputs related to valuing these assets are classified

Credit Agreement
On April 23, 2024, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer and a syndicate of lenders (the "Credit Agreement"), which replaced the previous credit agreement dated as of September 29, 2020. The Credit Agreement provides for a $325.0 million senior revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility"). Up to $25.0 million of the Revolving Facility may be used for the issuance of standby letters of credit and up to $10.0 million of the Revolving Facility may be used for swing line advances (i.e., short-term borrowings made available from the lead lender). The Company may request at any time that the Revolving Facility be increased by up to $325.0 million, subject to securing additional funding commitments from existing or new lenders. The Revolving Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes. The initial maturity date of the Revolving Facility is April 23, 2029, which may be extended by up to two years by exercising extension options provided in the Credit Agreement.
At the Company’s option, loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at (i) the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 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 of Bank of America, N.A., or (c) Term SOFR plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”). All swing line loans bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus the Base Rate. Term SOFR is the rate per annum equal to the forward-looking SOFR term rate for interest periods of one, three or six months, as selected by the Company, plus an adjustment of 0.10%. The Applicable Rate is determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or, at the option of the Company, the Debt Rating (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Applicable Rate for Term SOFR loans ranges from 1.000% per annum to 1.750% per annum and the Applicable Rate for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.000% per annum to 0.750% per annum. Undrawn amounts under the Revolving Facility are subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.275%. Interest for Term SOFR 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 Company pays a letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable Rate multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under any letter of credit, a fronting fee and any customary documentary and processing charges for any letter of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.
During the six months ended September 28, 2024, 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 avoid an event of default. As of September 28, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
and $626.8 million, respectively (compared to the outstanding principal amount of $412.5 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 March 30, 2024 was $426.9 million, $797.6 million and $603.8 million, respectively (compared to the outstanding principal amount of $439.7 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 six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company recognized $24.3 million and $42.0 million of interest expense, respectively, primarily related to the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, which was partially offset by interest capitalized to property and equipment of $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 also includes financing costs related to certain inventory (subject to repurchase) in connection with a supply agreement. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $17.9 million and $36.1 million of interest expense, respectively, primarily related to the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, which was partially offset by interest capitalized to property and equipment of $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
8. STOCK REPURCHASES
On November 2, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a 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 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 September 28, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 0.7 million and 2.0 million shares of its common stock, respectively, for approximately $81.7 million and $207.5 million, respectively (including transaction costs and excise tax) and approximately $1,098.7 million remains authorized for repurchases under its share repurchase program as of September 28, 2024.
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million and 2.0 million shares of its common stock, respectively, for approximately $100.6 million and $201.2 million, respectively (including transaction costs and excise tax) under its share repurchase program.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business that have not been fully adjudicated. The Company accrues a liability for legal contingencies when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of the previously accrued liability and records adjustments as appropriate. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of the unresolved legal matters, it is the opinion of management that these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal matters is not material.

11. RESTRUCTURING
2025 Restructuring Initiative
In fiscal 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to focus on growth drivers and key markets and to streamline operations, the Company decided not to further invest in its SiC power device business and began to seek strategic alternatives for this business (the “2025 Restructuring Initiative”). In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company determined that there was a more-likely-than-not expectation of divesting its SiC power device business and impairment testing was triggered. The inventory and long-lived assets that are held and used by the power device business were reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 330, "Inventory" and ASC 360, respectively, resulting in inventory write-downs of $13.7 million (for inventory expected to be disposed of) and impairments of intangible assets (primarily developed technology) of $16.6 million. In addition, as the power device business constitutes a reporting unit, the goodwill of the reporting unit was also subject to an impairment assessment in accordance with ASC 350 and it was determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value of this reporting unit, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $96.5 million (representing the entire goodwill assigned to this reporting unit).
The Company will continue to evaluate strategic opportunities associated with this business and additional impairment charges of the intangible assets of this business may be incurred in fiscal 2025.

12. 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 for each operating segment. 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.

13. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense was $19.9 million and $18.8 million for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, and $42.1 million and $34.0 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 796.5% and 1,056.4% for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, and 30.1% and 38.7% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), domestic tax credits generated, discrete pretax items (including a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge) and discrete tax items. After consideration of pretax items taxed discretely in the period, the Company recognized tax expense associated with its ongoing operations and the year-to-date income, which was partially offset by discrete tax benefits of $4.3 million and discrete tax expense of $0.2 million for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively. The discrete tax benefit for the three months ended September 28, 2024 primarily related to the tax impacts of the 2025 Restructuring Initiative (refer to Note
QORVO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
11 for additional information). For the six months ended September 28, 2024, this tax benefit was offset by the tax effects of the sale of the Company's assembly and test operations in China (refer to Note 4 for additional information).
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, GILTI, domestic tax credits generated, discrete pretax items (including a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge) and discrete tax items. A discrete tax expense of $5.6 million and $5.5 million was recorded during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and primarily resulted from foreign currency gains recognized for tax purposes.
14. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share (in thousands, except per share data):

An immaterial number of shares of outstanding stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (net loss) per share for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2025 OVERVIEW
•Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased 5.2% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024, driven by a mix shift among smartphone customers to lower RF content 5G smartphones and a higher percentage of entry-level Android smartphones, which contain less RF content. Revenue increased for our Wi-Fi components and automotive connectivity products, reflecting new product releases and improved channel inventory levels compared to the prior year.
•Gross margin decreased to 42.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to 44.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, driven by higher average selling price erosion in Android mass market 5G smartphones and restructuring-related charges, while improved factory utilization positively impacted gross margin.
•Operating income was $9.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to $151.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, driven by a decrease in gross profit of $44.4 million for the reasons described above, a goodwill impairment charge of $96.5 million and other restructuring-related charges.
•Net loss per share was $0.18 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to net income per diluted share of $0.99 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Three months ended September 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023
HPA revenue was relatively flat, with decreases in defense and aerospace driven by the timing of defense programs, partially offset by incremental revenue resulting from the acquisition of Anokiwave, Inc. ("Anokiwave").
The decrease in HPA operating income was due to an increase in operating expenses of $12.6 million, resulting from the acquisition of Anokiwave and higher employee-related costs (including salaries and benefits, as well as incentive-based cash compensation).
Six months ended September 28, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023
The $11.8 million decrease in HPA revenue was attributable to revenue decreases of $18.7 million and $8.8 million in defense and aerospace, and infrastructure, respectively. These revenue decreases were driven by the timing of defense programs and infrastructure deployment cycles and were partially offset by a $14.9 million increase in power management revenue.
The decrease in HPA operating income was due to lower revenue and an increase in operating expenses of $20.5 million, resulting from the acquisition of Anokiwave and higher employee-related costs (including salaries and benefits, as well as incentive-based cash compensation).

The $43.2 million increase in CSG revenue was attributable to a $40.6 million increase in revenue for our Wi-Fi components and automotive connectivity products, reflecting new product releases and improved channel inventory levels compared to the prior year.
The decrease in CSG operating loss was due to the impact of higher revenue and improved factory utilization.
Six months ended September 28, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023
The $58.8 million increase in CSG revenue was attributable to a $64.8 million increase in revenue for our Wi-Fi components, ultra-wideband solutions and automotive connectivity products, reflecting new product releases and improved channel inventory levels compared to the prior year. These revenue increases were partially offset by a $6.9 million decrease in revenue from our biotechnology business, which was sold in fiscal 2024.
The decrease in CSG operating loss was due to the impact of higher revenue and improved factory utilization, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $6.3 million. The increase in operating expenses was driven by R&D activities related to developing new process technologies and new product categories, including salaries and benefits, as well as incentive-based cash compensation. In addition, our biotechnology business, which was sold in fiscal 2024, generated an operating loss of $8.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023.

The $98.6 million decrease in ACG revenue was driven by a mix shift among smartphone customers to lower RF content 5G smartphones and a higher percentage of entry-level Android smartphones, which contain less RF content.
The decrease in ACG operating income was driven by lower revenue and an increase in operating expenses of $16.2 million. The increase in operating expenses was driven by R&D activities related to developing new process technologies and new product categories, including salaries and benefits, as well as incentive-based cash compensation. In addition, higher average selling price erosion in Android mass market 5G smartphones offset improved factory utilization.
Six months ended September 28, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023
The $131.5 million increase in ACG revenue was driven by increased revenue from our largest customers in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, offset by a mix shift during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 among smartphone customers to lower RF content 5G smartphones and a higher percentage of entry-level Android smartphones, which contain less RF content.
ACG operating income was relatively flat reflecting higher revenue and improved factory utilization, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $33.5 million and higher average selling price erosion in Android mass market 5G smartphones. The increase in operating expenses was driven by R&D activities related to developing new process technologies and new product categories, including salaries and benefits, as well as incentive-based cash compensation.

Interest expense
During the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, 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 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information. Interest expense for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 also includes financing costs related to certain inventory (subject to repurchase) in connection with a supply agreement.
Other income, net
During the three months ended September 28, 2024, we recorded interest income of $13.8 million and net gains of $1.7 million from our share of the profit or loss from our limited partnership investments and gains or losses from other investments. During the six months ended September 28, 2024, we recorded interest income of $26.2 million and net gains of $0.6 million from our share of the profit or loss from our limited partnership investments and gains or losses from other investments.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded interest income of $7.7 million and net losses of $2.5 million from our share of the profit or loss from our limited partnership investments and gains or losses from other investments. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded interest income of $15.9 million and net gains of $2.1 million from our share of the profit or loss from our limited partnership investments and gains or losses from other investments.
Income tax expense
During the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $19.9 million and $18.8 million, respectively, comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income and the impact of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), partially offset by tax benefits related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses, domestic tax credits and discrete tax items. The discrete tax benefit for the three months ended September 28, 2024 primarily related to the impacts of restructuring activities initiated in fiscal 2025 (refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). For the six months ended September 28, 2024, this tax benefit was offset by the discrete tax effects of the sale of the Company's assembly and test operations in China (refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $42.1 million and $34.0 million, respectively, comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income, the impact of 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 period. The discrete tax expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily resulted from 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 September 28, 2024, we had working capital of approximately $1,198.7 million, including $1,096.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $1,215.9 million, including $1,029.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 30, 2024.
Our $1,096.5 million of total cash and cash equivalents as of September 28, 2024, includes approximately $888.0 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $691.1 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.
We may from time to time 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 the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we repurchased $27.3 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 $412.5 million is included in "Current portion of long-term debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2024.
In August 2022, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act (the "CHIPS Act") was signed into law. The CHIPS Act provides for a 25% refundable tax credit on certain investments in domestic semiconductor
manufacturing. The tax credit is provided for qualifying property which is placed in service after December 31, 2022, and for which construction begins before January 1, 2027. We recognized an anticipated tax credit during the three months ended September 28, 2024 within other non-current assets and will receive the cash benefit in future periods when applied against our tax obligations.
Stock Repurchases
During the six months ended September 28, 2024, we repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares of our common stock for approximately $207.5 million (including transaction costs and excise tax) under our share repurchase program. As of September 28, 2024, approximately $1,098.7 million remains authorized for repurchases under the program.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $208.9 million and $137.9 million for the six months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven by changes in working capital, partially offset by decreased profitability.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $52.0 million and $24.2 million for the six months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. During the six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company purchased $30.0 million of short-term investments and received proceeds of $55.6 million from the divestiture of our assembly and test operations in China. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $47.3 million, primarily from the sale of our manufacturing facility in Farmers Branch, Texas.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $109.3 million and $214.3 million for the six months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. During the six months ended September 28, 2024, we received net proceeds of $142.8 million from Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd. for inventory (subject to repurchase) in connection with our supply agreement (refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information) and we repurchased $27.3 million of the principal amount of our 2024 Notes for $26.7 million.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Credit Agreement On April 23, 2024, we entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”), which replaced our previous credit agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for a $325.0 million senior revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”). We may request at any time that the Revolving Facility be increased by up to $325.0 million, subject to securing additional funding commitments from existing or new lenders. The Revolving Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes.
During the six months ended September 28, 2024, 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 September 28, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.
2024 Notes On December 14, 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2024 Notes. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year at a rate of 1.750% per annum. The remaining principal amount of the 2024 Notes of $412.5 million is included in "Current portion of long-term debt" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2024 and 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 certain of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries (the "Guarantors").
2029 Notes On September 30, 2019, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Notes. On December 20, 2019, and June 11, 2020, we issued an additional $200.0 million and $300.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Notes. Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year at a rate of 4.375%
per annum. The 2029 Notes will mature on October 15, 2029, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
2031 Notes On September 29, 2020, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2031 Notes. Interest on the 2031 Notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year at a rate of 3.375% per annum. The 2031 Notes will mature on April 1, 2031, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms. The 2031 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
For additional information regarding our debt, refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital Commitments As of September 28, 2024, we had capital commitments of approximately $116.3 million primarily for expanding capability to develop and 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 anticipated 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 and cash equivalents and availability from the Revolving Facility, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet both our short-term and long-term cash requirements. However, if there is a significant decrease in demand for our products, or if investments in our business outpace revenue growth, 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 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
In accordance with the indentures governing the 2024 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes (together, the "Notes"), our obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by the Guarantors, which are listed on Exhibit 22 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Each Guarantor is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Qorvo, Inc. ("Parent"). A Guarantor can be released in certain customary circumstances. Our other U.S. subsidiaries and our non-U.S. subsidiaries do not guarantee the Notes (such subsidiaries are referred to as the "Non-Guarantors").
The following presents summarized financial information for the Parent and the Guarantors on a combined basis as of and for the periods indicated, after eliminating (i) intercompany transactions and balances among the Parent and the Guarantors, and (ii) equity earnings from, and investments in, any Non-Guarantor. The summarized financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial position and results of operations had the combined Parent and Guarantors operated independently from the Non-Guarantors.

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 2025. 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 30, 2024.
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 September 28, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, 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 30, 2024, 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 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 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.
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.
