NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (“Skyworks” or the “Company”) is an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors.  Leveraging core technologies, Skyworks supports automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, energy management, GPS, industrial, medical, military, wireless networking, smartphone and tablet applications.  The Company's portfolio includes amplifiers, attenuators, circulators, demodulators, detectors, diodes, directional couplers, front-end modules, hybrids, infrastructure RF subsystems, isolators, lighting and display solutions, mixers, modulators, optocouplers, optoisolators, phase shifters, PLLs/synthesizers/VCOs, power dividers/combiners, power management devices, receivers, switches and technical ceramics.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, in management's opinion, the financial information reflects all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012 , filed with the SEC on November 21, 2012 (the "2012 10-K"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the 2012 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 28, 2013.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive loss that are reported in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Significant judgment is required in determining the recognition and/or disclosure of reserves for and fair value of items such as inventory, income taxes, share-based compensation, loss contingencies, subsequent events (which the Company has evaluated through the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements), bad debt allowances, contingent consideration, intangible assets associated with business combinations, and overall fair value assessments of assets and liabilities, particularly those classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, significant judgment is required in determining whether a potential indicator of impairment of long-lived assets exists and in estimating future cash flows for any necessary impairment tests. Actual results could significantly differ from these estimates.

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to September 30. Fiscal 2013 consists of 52 weeks and ends on September 27, 2013 . Fiscal 2012 consisted of 52 weeks and ended on September 28, 2012 . The third quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 each consisted of 13 weeks and ended on June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 , respectively.

2.     MARKETABLE SECURITIES

At June 28, 2013, the Company's marketable securities consisted of an auction rate security ("ARS"), which was classified as available for sale and recorded in other long term assets. The ARS had a par value of $3.2 million and a carrying value of $2.3 million at June 28, 2013 as compared to the September 28, 2012 balances of $4.0 million and $3.1 million , respectively. The decrease in the balance held at June 28, 2013 was due to the sale of an ARS instrument during the period with a carrying value of $0.8 million . The remaining ARS instrument is scheduled to mature in 2017. The current difference between the par and carrying value is categorized as a temporary loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company receives scheduled interest payments on the ARS in accordance with the terms of the securities and evaluates the appropriate accounting treatment in each period presented.

3.    FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. GAAP provides a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that prioritize the use of observable inputs over the use of unobservable inputs, when such observable inputs are available. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:


6

•
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data.
•
Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by the Company.

Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observable inputs may result in a reclassification of assets and liabilities within the three levels of the hierarchy outlined above.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis such as our financial instruments and marketable securities and recognizes transfers within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 .

Due to the illiquid markets for the Company's ARS, the Company believes that these securities are appropriately classified as a Level 3 asset at June 28, 2013.

At June 28, 2013 , assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the following (in millions):

The fair value of the contingent consideration which was recorded as a Level 3 liability on September 28, 2012 was earned and paid during the period ended June 28, 2013 . The Company has no further contingent consideration liabilities associated with prior acquisitions at June 28, 2013.

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company's non-financial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets resulting from business combinations are measured at fair value using income approach valuation methodologies at the date of acquisition and subsequently re-measured if there are indicators of impairment. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 .

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the 35% United States federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 , resulted primarily from foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate, the domestic production activities deduction, and research and development tax credits earned, partially offset by an increase in the Company's tax expense related to a change in the Company's reserve for uncertain tax positions. In January 2013, the United States Congress enacted the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, extending numerous tax provisions which had expired. The impact of this legislation reduced the Company's tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 by $6.1 million and $15.1 million , respectively.

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the 35% United States federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2012 , resulted primarily from foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate, the domestic production activities deduction, and the recognition of research and development tax credits earned, partially offset by an increase in the Company's tax expense related to a change in the Company's reserve for uncertain tax positions.

8.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters
From time to time, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been, and may in the future be, instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement, intellectual property, environmental, product liability and warranty, safety and health, employment and contractual matters. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to the Company's business and have demanded and may in the future demand that the Company license their technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some such lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally speaking, intellectual property disputes have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Company's financial condition, or results of operations.

On June 6 and 7, 2011, two putative stockholder class action lawsuits (Case No. 111CV202403 (the “Bushansky action”) and Case No. 111CV202501 (the “Venette action”), respectively) were filed in California Superior Court in Santa Clara County naming Advanced Analogic Technologies Inc. ("AATI"), members of AATI's board of directors, the Company and PowerCo Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”) as defendants. The lawsuits related to conduct surrounding the Company's acquisition of AATI. On July 26, 2011, the Court issued an order consolidating the Bushansky action and Venette action into a single, consolidated action captioned In re Advanced Analogic Technologies Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Lead Case No. 111CV202403, and designating an amended complaint filed on July 14, 2011 in the Venette action as the operative complaint in the litigation.

On November 30, 2011, following confidential arbitration proceedings in the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Company announced that it and AATI had amended their previously announced merger agreement whereby the Company would acquire AATI at a reduced price through a tender offer. The Company and AATI completed the transaction on January 9, 2012. On March 2, 2012, the Court stayed all discovery in the matter and ordered the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint by April 20, 2012.

On April 20, 2012, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint (“First Amended Complaint”) against each of the original defendants with the exception of Merger Sub. The First Amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that (1) members of AATI's board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by (a) failing to take steps to maximize the value of AATI to its public shareholders by failing to adequately consider potential acquirers, (b) agreeing to the merger for inadequate consideration on unfair terms; (c)

9

causing the filing of a materially misleading Schedule 14D-9 that failed to (i) disclose a basis for the price reduction, (ii) describe the arbitration proceedings, and (iii) include any financial valuation or fairness opinion concerning whether the revised merger consideration was fair; and (d) causing the issuance of amendments to the Schedule 14D-9 that failed to respond adequately to the SEC's disclosure directives; and (2) Skyworks and AATI allegedly aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duties.   On March 4, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, which asserts claims substantially similar to those in the First Amended Complaint.  On April 5, 2013, the defendants filed demurrers against the Second Amended Complaint, calling for the case to be dismissed with prejudice.  A hearing on the pending demurrers has been set for August 2, 2013.

The Company monitors the status of the foregoing litigation and other contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure that appropriate amounts are recognized and/or disclosed in our financial statements and footnotes as and when required. At June 28, 2013 and at the time of this filing, the Company had not recorded any accrual for loss contingencies associated with its legal proceedings as losses resulting from such matters were determined to be remote. In addition, the Company does not believe there are any legal proceedings that are reasonably possible to result in a material loss. We are engaged in various other legal actions, not described above, in the normal course of business and, while there can be no assurances, the Company believes the outcome of all pending litigation involving the Company will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company.

Guarantees and Indemnifications
The Company has made no contractual guarantees for the benefit of third parties. However, the Company generally indemnifies its customers from third-party intellectual property infringement litigation claims that may be brought against its customers resulting from or related to the use of the Company's products, and, on occasion, also provides other indemnities related to product sales. In connection with certain facility leases, the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the Company's activities at the facility or out of the lease. The indemnities to customers in connection with product sales generally are subject to limits based upon the amount of the related product sales and in many cases are subject to geographic and other restrictions. However, in certain instances, the Company's indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make.

In addition, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the state of Delaware. The duration of the indemnities varies, and in many cases are indefinite.

As of June 28, 2013 , the Company had not recorded any liability for any of the foregoing indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company continues to monitor the indemnities it provides and reassess whether it needs to record contingent liabilities during each reporting period.

9.     COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE

On November 8, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. During the three months ended June 28, 2013 , the Company paid $92.0 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 4.0 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $22.99 per share). During the nine months ended June 28, 2013 , the Company paid $164.5 million (including commissions) in connection with the repurchase of 7.3 million shares of its common stock (paying an average price of $22.50 per share).

On July 16, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time prior to July 16, 2015 on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. This newly authorized stock repurchase program replaces in its entirety the November 8, 2012 stock repurchase program.

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of equity based awards and the convertible debt which was outstanding during the nine months ended June 29, 2012, using the treasury stock method. Certain of the Company's outstanding stock options, noted in the table above, were excluded because they were anti-dilutive, but could become dilutive in the future.

11.    RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

During the nine months ended June 28, 2013 , the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of approximately $6.4 million related to severance costs associated with two separate organizational restructuring plans undertaken to reduce headcount that were each initiated during the nine months ended June 28, 2013. These restructuring plans are expected to be completed within a year of the start of each program and have been aggregated into the "FY13 Restructuring Programs" line item in the summary table below. The Company does not anticipate any material charges in any future periods related to these plans.
During the three and nine months ended June 29, 2012, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of approximately $1.1 million and $7.8 million , respectively. The charges for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 included $7.2 million in severance costs and $0.6 million in lease termination costs primarily related to an acquisition in fiscal 2012. Payments related to these restructuring plans are largely complete and are summarized under "Other Restructuring" in the table below.

OVERVIEW

We are an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors.  Leveraging core technologies, we support automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, energy management, GPS, industrial, medical, military, wireless networking, smartphone and tablet applications.  Our portfolio includes amplifiers, attenuators, circulators, demodulators, detectors, diodes, directional couplers, front-end modules, hybrids, infrastructure RF subsystems, isolators, lighting and display solutions, mixers, modulators, optocouplers, optoisolators, phase shifters, PLLs/synthesizers/VCOs, power dividers/combiners, power management devices, receivers, switches and technical ceramics.

During the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013, the following key factors contributed to our overall results of operations, financial position and cash flows:

•
Net revenue increased by 12% and 15% for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year.

•
Operating margin increased by 21% and 15% for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year.

•
Cash flow from operations increased to $342 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013, up 46% as compared to $235 million generated during the corresponding period in fiscal 2012.

•
We repurchased 4 million shares of our common stock for $92 million and 7.3 million shares for $165 million during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013, respectively, and exited the quarter with $400 million in cash and cash equivalents. On July 16, 2013, we announced a new $250 million stock repurchase program.

We market and sell our products directly to original equipment manufacturers of communication electronic products, third-party original design and contract manufacturers, and indirectly through electronic components distributors. We periodically enter into revenue generating arrangements that leverage our broad intellectual property portfolio by licensing or selling our non-core patents or other intellectual property. We anticipate continuing this intellectual property strategy in future periods.
We generated net revenue of $436.1 million for the three months ended June 28, 2013 , an increase of $47.1 million or 12.1% when compared to $389.0 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 2012. Net revenue increased by 14.6% or $167.5 million to $1,315.0 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 , as compared to $1,147.5 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 2012. We generally experience seasonal peaks during the second half of the calendar year primarily as a result of increased worldwide production and sales of consumer electronics in anticipation of increased holiday sales. We continue to experience year-over-year growth as smartphones continue to displace traditional cellular phones, tablet computing increases in popularity and as our product portfolio expands to address additional content within handset, tablet and adjacent vertical markets including medical, automotive, military and industrial.
The increases in net revenue for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 were primarily driven by increased demand for our 3G, Switching, Wireless LAN and GPS solutions, partially offset by lower GSM/GPRS product revenue as a result of the contracting 2G market.

Gross profit represents net revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of purchased materials, labor and overhead (including depreciation and share-based compensation expense) associated with product manufacturing. Erosion of average selling prices of established products is typical of the semiconductor industry due to constant product innovations. Consistent with trends in the industry, we anticipate that average selling prices for our established products will continue to decline at a normalized rate of five to ten percent per year. As part of our normal course of business, we mitigate the gross profit margin impact of declining average selling prices with efforts to increase unit volume by leveraging customer relationships and integrating functionality of our products, reducing materials costs and lowering manufacturing costs of existing products and by introducing new and/ or higher value-added products.

Gross profit increased by $22.9 million for the three months ended June 28, 2013 when compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2012. The increase in gross profit was the result of higher unit volumes and lower per unit materials and manufacturing costs which collectively increased gross profit by approximately $31.4 million. This increase was offset by the erosion of our average per unit selling price and changes in the mix of products sold combining to reduce gross profit of approximately $8.5 million. As a result, gross profit margin increased from 42.5% for the three months ended June 29, 2012 to 43.2% for the three months ended June 28, 2013 .

Gross profit increased by $68.1 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 when compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2012. The increase in gross profit was the result of higher unit volumes and lower per unit materials and manufacturing costs which collectively increased gross profit by approximately $121.2 million. This increase was offset by the erosion of our average per unit selling price and changes in the mix of products sold combining to reduce gross profit by approximately $53.1 million. As a result, gross profit margin decreased from 42.7% for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 to 42.4% for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 .
During the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 , we continued to benefit from higher contribution margins associated with the licensing and/or sale of intellectual property.

Research and development expense for the three months ended June 28, 2013 increased slightly as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2012. Research and development expense decreased as a percentage of net revenue due to the aforementioned increase in net revenue.

Research and development expense for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 increased $15.1 million or 9.7% when compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2012. The increase was primarily related to a net increase of $8.3 million in compensation expense including variable and stock-based compensation and $6.0 million related to product design and development activity. Research and development expense decreased as a percentage of net revenue due to the aforementioned increase in net revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include legal, accounting, treasury, human resources, information systems, customer service, bad debt expense, sales commissions, share-based compensation expense, advertising, marketing, costs associated with business combinations completed or contemplated during the period and other costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 7.5% for the three months ended June 28, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2012. The increase for the three months ended June 28, 2013 is primarily related to higher compensation expense including variable compensation during the period. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of net revenue due to the aforementioned increase in net revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by 2.1% for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2012 was primarily related to the decreases in acquisition related expenses incurred in the prior fiscal year of $9.9 million, partially offset by increased compensation expense including variable compensation of $5.1 million in the current period. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of net revenue due to the decrease in acquisition related expenses and the aforementioned increase in net revenue.

The restructuring and other charges incurred during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 relate to severance costs associated with two separate organizational restructuring plans initiated during the period. These actions are expected to be completed within a year of the start of each program and we do not anticipate incurring any further material charges related to these restructuring plans. We made cash payments related to these restructuring activities of approximately $2.2 million and $6.6 million during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 , respectively and expect all cash payments to be completed in fiscal 2013 in all material respects.

During the three and nine months ended June 29, 2012, we recorded $1.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively, in restructuring charges primarily related to a plan to reduce redundancies associated with acquisitions made in prior fiscal years.

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $18.8 million ( $16.2 million and $2.6 million for United States and foreign income taxes, respectively) and $44.8 million ($37.9 million and $6.9 million for United States and foreign income taxes, respectively) for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 , respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 was 22.3% and 18.8% , respectively, as compared to 20.6% and 22.0% , for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2012, respectively. The difference between our year to date effective tax rate of 18.8% and the federal statutory rate of 35% is principally due to the recognition of foreign earnings in lower tax jurisdictions, the domestic production activities deduction, and the recognition of research and development tax credits earned, partially offset by an increase in our tax expense related to a change in our reserve for uncertain tax positions.

In January 2013, the United States Congress enacted the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extending numerous tax provisions which had expired. The impact of this legislation reduced our income tax expense by approximately $6.1 million and $15.1 million for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities:
Our cash flow from operating activities consists of net income for the period adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain operating assets and liabilities. During the nine months ended June 28, 2013 , we generated $342.2 million of cash flow from operating activities, an increase of $107.3 million when compared to the $234.9 million generated during the nine months ended June 29, 2012 . The increase in cash flow from operating activities during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 was related to higher net income combined with a net cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities and to a lesser extent the increase in non-cash depreciation. Specifically, the changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in sources of cash were: $23.0 million in other current and long-term liabilities primarily related to accrued current and long-term tax liabilities and to a lesser extent payroll accruals and a net reduction in accounts receivable of $13.7 million due to the collections of outstanding account balances during the period. The offsetting change was primarily related to the net use of $25.4 million in cash to decrease accounts payable due to the timing of vendor payments during the period.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities:
Our cash flow from investing activities consists of cash paid for capital expenditures, the sale and maturity of investments and acquisitions, net of cash acquired. Cash flow used in investing activities was $84.6 million during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 , compared to $272.1 million during the nine months ended June 29, 2012 . Cash used in investing activities decreased due to an acquisition in the prior fiscal year. Capital expenditures increased to $85.4 million due to the purchase of manufacturing equipment to support increased production in anticipation of accelerating demand from key customers at our wafer fabrication facilities in the United States and our assembly and test facility in Mexicali, Mexico as compared to $63.4 million invested in capital expenditures during the nine months ended June 29, 2012 . Our uses of cash for investing activities during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 were partially offset by $0.8 million in proceeds received upon the sale of investments.



16

Cash Flow from Financing Activities:
Our cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of cash transactions related to our equity and debt. During the nine months ended June 28, 2013 , we had net cash outflows from financing activities of $164.4 million , compared to net cash outflows from financing activities of $45.7 million during the nine months ended June 29, 2012 . During the nine months ended June 28, 2013 , we had the following significant uses of cash in financing activities:

•
$164.5 million related to our repurchase of 7.3 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors on November 8, 2012, and
•
$17.3 million related to payroll tax withholdings on the vesting of employee performance and restricted stock awards.

These uses of cash were partially offset by the net proceeds from cash payments from employee stock option exercises of $13.2 million and excess tax benefit from stock option exercises of $5.3 million during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 .

Liquidity:
Cash and cash equivalent balances were $400.3 million at June 28, 2013 , representing an increase of $93.2 million from September 28, 2012. The increase was primarily related to our increase in cash from operations partially offset by our use of $164.5 million in cash to repurchase 7.3 million shares of stock and our cash investment of $85.4 million in capital expenditures for increased production capacity during the nine months ended June 28, 2013. Based on our historical results of operations, we expect that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and the cash we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to fund our research and development, capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot be certain that our cash on hand and our cash from operations will be available in the future to fund all of our capital and operating requirements. In addition, any strategic investments and acquisitions that we may make may require additional cash and capital resources. If we are unable to obtain sufficient cash or capital to meet our capital needs on a timely basis and on favorable terms, our business and operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our invested cash balances primarily consist of money market funds with original maturities of three months or less (where the underlying securities primarily consist of United States treasury obligations, United States agency obligations, repurchase agreements collateralized by United States Government and agency obligations) and to a lesser extent time deposits and certificates of deposit.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance of $400.3 million at June 28, 2013 consisted of $186.1 million held domestically and $214.2 million held by foreign subsidiaries. Of the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries at June 28, 2013 , approximately $146.7 million is considered by us to be indefinitely reinvested and would be subject to material tax effects if repatriated.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Our contractual obligations disclosure in our 2012 10-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the 2012 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 28, 2013, have not materially changed since we filed those reports.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in SEC Regulation S-K- 303(a)(4)(ii).

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued updated guidance on reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). This guidance seeks to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this guidance supersede the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in previously issued guidance. This guidance will be effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of this guidance will affect the presentation of comprehensive income but will not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

17


We are subject to investment risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk as described below.

Investment and Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate and general market risks relates principally to our investment portfolio, which consisted of the following (in millions):
As of
June 28, 2013
Cash and cash equivalents (time deposits and money market funds)
$
400.3

Carrying value of available for sale securities (auction rate securities)
2.3

Total
$
402.6


The main objective of our investment activities is the liquidity and preservation of capital. Our cash and cash equivalent investments have original maturities of three months or less which dampen the impact of significant market or interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with our investments is not material as our investment policy prescribes high credit quality standards and limits the amount of credit exposure we may have to any one issuer. We currently do not use derivative instruments for trading, speculative or investment purposes; however, we may use derivatives for some or all of those purposes in the future.

Based on our results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2013 , a hypothetical reduction in the interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents to zero would result in an immaterial reduction of interest income with a de minimis impact to income before income taxes.

In the event that the market conditions change in the future and our auction rate security becomes fully and permanently impaired, the impact to income before income taxes would be the par value of the auction rate security of approximately $3.2 million as of June 28, 2013 .

We are subject to overall financial market risks, such as changes in market liquidity, credit quality and interest rates. However, given the low interest rate environment, the objectives of our investment activities, and the relatively low interest income generated from our cash and cash equivalents and other investments, we do not believe that financial market; investment or interest rate risks pose material exposures to our current business or results of operations. However, this may change in the future.

Exchange Rate Risk
Substantially all sales to our customers and our arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for pricing and payment in United States dollars, thereby reducing the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our results. A small percentage of our international operational expenses are denominated in foreign currencies and exchange rate volatility could positively or negatively impact those operating costs. Increases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Given the relatively small number of customers and arrangements with third-party manufactures denominated in foreign currencies we do not believe that foreign exchange volatility has a material impact to our current business or results of operations. However, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a greater effect on our business or results of operations in the future to the extent our expenses increasingly become denominated in foreign currencies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 28, 2013 . The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding

18

required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 28, 2013 , our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been, and may in the future be, instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement, intellectual property, environmental, product liability and warranty, safety and health, employment and contractual matters. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to the Company's business and have demanded and may in the future demand that the Company license their technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some such lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally speaking, intellectual property disputes have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Company's financial condition, or results of operations.

On June 6 and 7, 2011, two putative stockholder class action lawsuits (Case No. 111CV202403 (the “Bushansky action”) and Case No. 111CV202501 (the “Venette action”), respectively) were filed in California Superior Court in Santa Clara County naming Advanced Analogic Technologies Inc. ("AATI"), members of AATI's board of directors, the Company and PowerCo Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”) as defendants. The lawsuits related to conduct surrounding the Company's acquisition of AATI. On July 26, 2011, the Court issued an order consolidating the Bushansky action and Venette action into a single, consolidated action captioned In re Advanced Analogic Technologies Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Lead Case No. 111CV202403, and designating an amended complaint filed on July 14, 2011 in the Venette action as the operative complaint in the litigation.

On November 30, 2011, following confidential arbitration proceedings in the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Company announced that it and AATI had amended their previously announced merger agreement whereby the Company would acquire AATI at a reduced price through a tender offer. The Company and AATI completed the transaction on January 9, 2012. On March 2, 2012, the Court stayed all discovery in the matter and ordered the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint by April 20, 2012.

On April 20, 2012, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint (“First Amended Complaint”) against each of the original defendants with the exception of Merger Sub. The First Amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that (1) members of AATI's board of directors breached their fiduciary duties by (a) failing to take steps to maximize the value of AATI to its public shareholders by failing to adequately consider potential acquirers, (b) agreeing to the merger for inadequate consideration on unfair terms; (c) causing the filing of a materially misleading Schedule 14D-9 that failed to (i) disclose a basis for the price reduction, (ii) describe the arbitration proceedings, and (iii) include any financial valuation or fairness opinion concerning whether the revised merger consideration was fair; and (d) causing the issuance of amendments to the Schedule 14D-9 that failed to respond adequately to the SEC's disclosure directives; and (2) Skyworks and AATI allegedly aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duties.   On March 4, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, which asserts claims substantially similar to those in the First Amended Complaint.  On April 5, 2013, the defendants filed demurrers against the Second Amended Complaint, calling for the case to be dismissed with prejudice.  A hearing on the pending demurrers has been set for August 2, 2013.

Item 1A. Risk Factors .

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012 , filed with the SEC on November 21, 2012 (the "2012 10-K"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the 2012 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 28, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material

19

changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2012 10-K as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the 2012 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 28, 2013.
