1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On February 22, 2014, RF Micro Devices, Inc. ("RFMD") and TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. ("TriQuint") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as subsequently amended on July 15, 2014, the "Merger Agreement") providing for the business combination of RFMD and TriQuint ("Business Combination") under a new holding company named Qorvo, Inc. (formerly named Rocky Holding, Inc.) ("Qorvo"). The Business Combination closing was effective on January 1, 2015 (fourth quarter of fiscal 2015). For financial reporting and accounting purposes, RFMD was the acquirer of TriQuint. The results presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") reflect those of RFMD prior to the completion of the Business Combination with TriQuint on January 1, 2015 and those of Qorvo subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination. As used herein, all references to "the Company," "we," "us" and "our" prior to January 1, 2015 refer to RFMD and all such references on or after January 1, 2015 refer to Qorvo.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which could differ materially from actual results. In addition, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Qorvo’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015 .

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 uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31 of each year. The first fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30, the second fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to September 30 and the third fiscal quarter of each year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2016 is a 53-week fiscal year and as a result the second fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2015 included 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks for the second fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2014 and the six months ended October 3, 2015 included 27 weeks compared to 26 weeks for the six months ended September 27, 2014.

2. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective January 1, 2015, the Company effected a one-for-four reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. All share and per share information contained in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share data):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	October 3, 2015		September 27, 2014		October 3, 2015		September 27, 2014
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted net income per share — net income available to common stockholders	$	4,448	$	63,311	$	6,484	$	101,958
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net income per share — weighted average shares	146,053		72,211		147,627		71,888
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock-based awards	4,730		1,923		4,935		2,009
Denominator for diluted net income per share — adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions	150,783		74,134		152,562		73,897
Basic net income per share	$	0.03	$	0.88	$	0.04	$	1.42
Diluted net income per share	$	0.03	$	0.85	$	0.04	$	1.38

In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 , outstanding stock options to purchase approximately 0.2 million shares and 0.1 million shares, respectively, were excluded because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended September 27, 2014 , outstanding stock options to purchase less than 0.1 million shares were excluded because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the underlying common stock and the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended September 27, 2014 does not assume the conversion of the Company’s previously issued $175 million initial aggregate principal amount of 1.00% convertible subordinated notes due 2014 (the "2014 Notes"). The 2014 Notes became due on April 15, 2014, and the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million was paid with cash on hand.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the average cost method. The components of inventories are as follows (in thousands):



	October 3, 2015		March 28, 2015

4. DEBT

Credit Agreement

On April 7, 2015, the Company and certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), swing line lender, and L/C issuer, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. The Company may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $150.0 million . The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. As of October 3, 2015, the Company has an outstanding balance of $75.0 million under the Credit Agreement.

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 Eurodollar Rate (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 the Administrative Agent, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). All swingline loans will bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus the Base Rate. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, as published by Bloomberg, for dollar deposits for interest periods of one, two, three or six months, as selected by the Company. The Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate loans ranges from 1.50% per annum to 2.00% per annum. The Applicable Rate for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.50% per annum to 1.00% per annum. Interest for Eurodollar Rate loans will be 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 will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Company will pay 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.

The Credit Agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which the Company must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default, including financial covenants that the Company must maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, and the occurrence of an event of default will increase the applicable rate of interest by 2.00% and could result in the termination of commitments under the revolving credit facility, the declaration that all outstanding loans are due and payable in whole or in part and the requirement of cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit. Outstanding amounts are due in full on the maturity date of April 7, 2020 (with amounts borrowed under the swingline option due in full no later than ten business days after such loan is made).

Convertible Debt

In April 2007, the Company issued the 2014 Notes, which became due on April 15, 2014. The remaining principal balance of $87.5 million plus interest of $0.4 million was paid at maturity with cash on hand.

5. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 .

The Company’s income tax expense was $13.8 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 , respectively, and the Company's income tax expense was $11.9 million and $19.3 million for the three and six months ended September 27, 2014 , respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 75.7% and 69.0% for the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 , respectively, and 15.9% for both the three and six months ended September 27, 2014 . The Company's effective tax rate for both the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and the second quarter of fiscal 2015 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, adjustments to

(Unaudited)

deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily related to changes in state tax laws, adjustments to the valuation allowance limiting the recognition of the benefit of domestic deferred tax assets, changes in uncertain tax position exposure, and the domestic production activity deduction.

Deferred Taxes

The valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 by $2.4 million from the $13.8 million balance as of the end of fiscal 2015 , primarily due to an increase in domestic deferred tax assets related to domestic state tax credits. A valuation allowance remained against certain domestic and foreign net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company has outstanding domestic federal and state tax net operating loss (“NOLs”) carry-forwards that expire in fiscal years 2016 to 2035 if unused. The use of the NOLs that were acquired in prior year acquisitions is subject to certain annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state tax provisions.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased from $59.4 million as of the end of fiscal 2015 to $63.1 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016 , due to a $4.4 million increase related to tax positions taken with respect to the current fiscal year and a $0.7 million decrease related to tax positions taken with respect to prior fiscal years.

7. SHARE REPURCHASES

On February 5, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock, exclusive of related fees, commissions or other expenses. On August 11, 2015, the Company announced the completion of this $200.0 million share repurchase program having repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock for approximately $150.0 million during fiscal 2016 . On August 11, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $400.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. On September 10, 2015, the Company announced the completion of this $400.0 million share repurchase program having repurchased approximately 7.3 million shares of common stock for approximately $400.0 million during the three months ended October 3, 2015.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2015, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"). Entities that measure their inventory other than the last-in, last-out and retail inventory methods will measure their inventory at the lower of cost or net realized value. Net realized value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary cost of business less reasonably predictable costs to completion, transportation, or disposal. Currently, inventory is required to be measured at the lower of cost or market where market could be the replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximated normal profit margin. The new authoritative guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and implementation will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability's carrying value, which is consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" ("ASU 2015-15"), which clarifies ASU 2015-03 by stating that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-15 and continued to present its debt issuance costs related to its revolving credit facility as an asset and is amortizing these costs ratably over the term of its revolving credit arrangement.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09") that amends existing guidance on revenue recognition. The new guidance is based on principles that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows and both qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers and applied significant judgments. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for the adoption of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Early adoption is permissible but not before its original effective date of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new authoritative guidance will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, using one of two retrospective methods of adoption. The Company has not determined which method it will adopt and is evaluating the effects the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

9. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s operating segments as of October 3, 2015 are Mobile Products (MP) and Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 , the Company renamed its reportable segments from Cellular Products Group to MP, and Multi-Market Products Group to IDP, as a result of the Business Combination. Additionally, the chief operating decision maker (CODM) elected to discontinue reporting Compound Semiconductor Group as an operating segment.

(Unaudited)

MP is a leading global supplier of radio frequency (RF) solutions that perform various functions in the cellular radio front end section of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. These RF solutions are required for devices that operate under 4G, Wi-Fi and other communications standards. These solutions include various discrete RF components and module configurations, including complete RF front end modules that combine high-performance filters, power amplifiers and switches into single placement solutions.

IDP is a leading global supplier of a broad array of RF solutions to wireless network infrastructure, defense and aerospace markets and short-range connectivity applications for commercial, consumer, industrial and automotive markets. IDP’s solutions include high power gallium arsenide ("GaAs") and gallium nitride ("GaN") components and various multichip and hybrid assemblies.

As of October 3, 2015 , MP and IDP are separate reportable segments based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company's CODM, and are managed separately based on the end markets and applications they support. The CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment primarily based on non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) as a percentage of revenue.

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

The following tables present details of the Company’s reportable segments and a reconciliation of the “All other” category (in thousands):

10. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

Effective January 1, 2015, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, RFMD and TriQuint completed a strategic combination of their respective businesses through the “merger of equals” Business Combination under a new holding company named Qorvo, Inc.

The total estimated purchase price was approximately $5,254.4 million . The allocation of the purchase price reflected in the accompanying financial statements is preliminary and is based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date pursuant to ASC 805). The measurement period remains open pending the completion of procedures related to deferred taxes.

The Business Combination resulted in the recognition of $470.0 million of in-process research and development (IPRD) of which $350.0 million relates to the MP operating segment and $120.0 million relates to the IDP operating segment. The IPRD encompasses a broad technology portfolio of product innovations in RF applications for MP and IDP. These technologies include a variety of semiconductor processes in GaAs and GaN for power and switching applications and surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) structures for filter applications. Included in IPRD are continuous improvements in the process for design and manufacturing as well as innovation in fundamental research areas such as materials, simulation and modeling, circuit design, device packaging and test. As of October 3, 2015 , the IPRD projects for the MP operating segment are between 40% to 90% complete with estimated completion dates through the end of fiscal 2017. As of October 3, 2015 , the IPRD projects associated with the IDP operating segment are between 60% to 95% complete with estimated completion dates through the end of fiscal 2017. Remaining costs to complete the IPRD projects for the MP operating segment and the IDP operating segment are approximately $15.0 million to $25.0 million and $5.0 million to $15.0 million , respectively. Upon completion of the development, acquired IPRD assets will be transferred to finite-lived intangible assets and amortized over their useful lives.

The remaining IPRD asset is classified as an indefinite lived intangible asset that is not currently subject to amortization but is reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such asset may not be recoverable. The IPRD asset will be subject to amortization upon completion of its respective research project and at the start of commercialization. The fair value assigned to the IPRD asset was determined using the income approach based on estimates and judgments regarding risks inherent in the development process, including the likelihood of achieving technological success and market acceptance. If the IPRD project is abandoned, the acquired technology attributable to the project will be expensed in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 , the Company incurred approximately $5.6 million and $16.0 million , respectively, of integration costs (including stock-based compensation) and approximately $3.4 million and $6.3 million , respectively, of restructuring costs (including stock-based compensation) associated with the Business Combination (primarily related to employee termination benefits). During the three and six months ended September 27, 2014 , the Company incurred approximately $1.3 million and $3.8 million , respectively, of acquisition costs and approximately $6.1 million and $12.1 million , respectively, of integration costs associated with the Business Combination.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 5, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock through November 4, 2016.

Under the share repurchase program, share repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases will depend on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

On November 6, 2015, the Company announced that it proposes to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2023 and 2025 (the “Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases and repayment of any amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under its existing revolving credit facility.

We are a leading provider of core technologies and radio frequency (“RF”) solutions for mobile, infrastructure and defense and aerospace applications. We have more than 7,000 global employees dedicated to delivering solutions for everything that connects the world. Our design and manufacturing expertise encompasses many semiconductor process technologies, which we source both internally and through external suppliers. We operate worldwide, with design, sales and manufacturing facilities located in Asia, Europe and North America.

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

•

Mobile Products (MP) - MP is a leading global supplier of RF solutions that perform various functions in the cellular radio front end section of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. These RF solutions are required for devices that operate under 4G, Wi-Fi and other communications standards. These solutions include various discrete RF components and module configurations, including complete RF front end modules that combine high-performance filters, power amplifiers and switches into single placement solutions.

•

Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP) - IDP is a leading global supplier of a broad array of RF solutions to wireless network infrastructure, defense and aerospace markets and short-range connectivity applications for commercial, consumer, industrial and automotive markets. IDP’s solutions include high power gallium arsenide ("GaAs") and gallium nitride ("GaN") components and various multichip and hybrid assemblies.

As of October 3, 2015 , our reportable segments are MP and IDP. These business segments are based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (or CODM), and are managed separately based on the end markets and applications they support. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of each operating segment primarily based on operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue. In connection with the Business Combination, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 we renamed our Cellular Products Group operating segment as MP and our Multi-Market Products Group operating segment as IDP. Additionally, the CODM elected to discontinue reporting Compound Semiconductor Group as an operating segment (see Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding our operating segments).

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2016 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:


•	Quarterly revenue increased 95.3% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2015 , primarily due to the inclusion of TriQuint revenue in the three months ended October 3, 2015 as well as increased demand for our cellular RF solutions for smartphones.


•	Gross margin for the quarter was 40.2% as compared to 46.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 . This decrease was primarily due to costs related to the Business Combination (including intangible amortization and stock-based compensation) and average selling price erosion. This decrease was partially offset by manufacturing and sourcing-related cost reductions.

•

Operating income was $18.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to operating income of $75.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 . This decrease was primarily due to costs related to the Business Combination (including intangible amortization and stock-based compensation), which was partially offset by increased revenue and manufacturing and sourcing-related cost reductions.


•	Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $0.03 as compared to $0.85 for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 after giving retroactive effect to the one-for-four reverse stock split related to the Business Combination.


•	Cash flow from operations was $168.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to $58.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 . This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to improved profitability exclusive of non-cash Business Combination expenses.


•	Capital expenditures were $80.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to $19.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 . This year-over-year increase was primarily related to projects for increasing manufacturing capacity.


•	During the second quarter of fiscal 2016 , we repurchased approximately 9.1 million shares of our common stock for approximately $500.0 million .


•	During the second quarter of fiscal 2016 , we recorded merger-related expenses, integration costs and restructuring expenses totaling $9.0 million related to the Business Combination. We expect merger and integrated-related expenses associated with the Business Combination to decrease in future periods.

Income tax expense	(13,784		)	(11,927		)	(14,376		)	(19,345		)

Other Income

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we sold equity securities and recognized a gain of approximately $4.0 million .

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 .

Income tax expense was $13.8 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended October 3, 2015 , which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book income offset by a tax benefit related to international operations generating pre-tax book losses. Income tax expense was $11.9 million and $19.3 million for the three and six months ended September 27, 2014 , which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to domestic and international operations offset by a tax benefit related to changes in the domestic deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

The valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as of October 3, 2015 increased by $2.4 million from the $13.8 million balance as of the end of fiscal 2015, with the change primarily arising from an increase in domestic deferred tax assets related to state tax credits. A valuation allowance remained against certain domestic and foreign net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will not be realized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have funded our operations to date through revenue from product sales, sales of equity and debt securities, bank borrowings and capital equipment leases. As of October 3, 2015 , we had working capital of approximately $920.5 million , including $169.6 million in cash and cash equivalents ($224.3 million was received from TriQuint in the Business Combination), compared to working capital of approximately $453.7 million at September 27, 2014 , including $110.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. Working capital increased year-over-year primarily due to the Business Combination.

Our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $195.6 million as of October 3, 2015 . This balance includes approximately $86.9 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds held by our foreign subsidiaries are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. However, under our current plans, we expect to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and do not expect to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.

Stock Repurchases

Table of Contents

million share repurchase program having repurchased approximately 7.3 million shares of common stock for approximately $400.0 million during the three months ended October 3, 2015 . These repurchases were partially funded through our revolving credit facility.

On November 5, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock through November 4, 2016. Under the share repurchase program, share repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases will depend on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities for the six months ended October 3, 2015 generated cash of $310.2 million , compared to $95.0 million for the six months ended September 27, 2014 . This year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to improved profitability exclusive of non-cash Business Combination expenses.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended October 3, 2015 was $25.5 million , compared to net cash used in investing activities of $73.4 million for the six months ended September 27, 2014 . This change was primarily due to increased proceeds from maturities of available-for-sale securities for the six months ended October 3, 2015 as compared to the six months ended September 27, 2014 , which was partially offset by higher capital expenditures for the six months ended October 3, 2015 as compared to the six months ended September 27, 2014 .

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $465.9 million for the six months ended October 3, 2015 , compared to $82.7 million for the six months ended September 27, 2014 . Net cash used in financing activities was higher during the six months ended October 3, 2015 as we repurchased approximately 9.7 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $56.81 on the open market. In addition, during the three months ended October 3, 2015 , the Company borrowed $125.0 million and made payments of $50.0 million under its Credit Agreement, while during the six months ended September 27, 2014 , the remaining principal balance of $87.5 million plus interest of $0.4 million was paid.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit Agreement On April 7, 2015, we and certain of our material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) entered into a five-year unsecured senior credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), swing line lender, and L/C issuer, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement includes a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. We may request, at any time and from time to time, that the revolving credit facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $150.0 million . The revolving credit facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors. As of October 3, 2015 , $75.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains various conditions, covenants and representations with which we must be in compliance in order to borrow funds and to avoid an event of default, including financial covenants that we must maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and a consolidated interest coverage ratio not to be less than 3.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. At October 3, 2015 , we were in full compliance with these covenants.

Proposed Notes Offering On November 6, 2015, the Company announced that it proposes to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2023 and 2025 (the “Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including share repurchases and repayment of any amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under its existing revolving credit facility.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

Capital Commitments At October 3, 2015 , we had capital commitments of approximately $56.2 million primarily related to projects for increasing manufacturing capacity. In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized up to an additional $128.0 million in capital expenditures in the current fiscal year to fund various manufacturing-related projects.

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

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

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures during the second quarter of fiscal 2016 . For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015 .

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 and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On January 1, 2015, the Business Combination was consummated between RFMD and TriQuint. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company has incorporated internal controls over significant processes specific to TriQuint and the Business Combination that it believes to be appropriate and necessary in consideration of the level of related integration. As the Company further integrates the TriQuint business, it will continue to review the internal controls and may take further steps to ensure that the internal controls are effective and integrated appropriately.

Except for the paragraph above, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended October 3, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015 , which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in Qorvo's Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.
