We [removed: already] have substantial outstanding indebtedness.
We derive significant revenues from customers [removed: located outside the United States, primarily] [added: globally, including] in [added: North America and] countries located in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe.

Our [removed: international] sales and operations are subject to a number of risks inherent in selling and operating in multiple jurisdictions.
- global, regional, and local economic and political conditions, including social, economic, political, and supply chain instability related to the uncertainty regarding the relationships [removed: among] [added: involving] the United States, China, Taiwan, Russia, Mexico, Israel, [added: Iran,] other Middle Eastern countries, Japan, Singapore, India, Canada and other foreign countries, and the international community at large, as well as related to armed conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflicts in [removed: Israel] [added: Israel, Iran,] and [removed: the] [added: other] Middle Eastern [removed: region,] [added: countries,] that exist, or in the future could exist, in various jurisdictions around the world,
- the imposition of or changes to tariffs, including the tariffs announced by the United States in 2025 [added: and 2026] with respect to numerous global trading partners and sectors, and any retaliatory tariffs or measures by any such trading partners, including countermeasures by China, have impacted and could further negatively impact trade between, or increase the cost of operating in, or increase the cost of or negatively impact the demand for, our products or our customers’ products in the countries in which we or our customers do business,

Violations of one or more of these legal regimes’ laws and regulations in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines, penalties, or monetary damages, criminal [added: sanctions against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business, negative action taken by our customers and partners, unfavorable publicity and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to process information, and allegations by our counterparties that we have not performed our contractual obligations.]
[removed: In addition, we] [added: We] may utilize the optional election to capitalize and amortize the domestic research and development expenses for tax purposes, where applicable, and which we expect will continue to increase, our taxes payable, resulting in reduced near-term cash flows.
Certain provisions became effective and were reflected in the Company’s fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] financial results, while others will become effective in future periods.
[removed: The] [added: For example, the] Company operates under a tax holiday in Singapore and is subject to the Company’s compliance with certain conditions, including maintaining certain employment and investment thresholds in Singapore.
For a discussion of the impact [added: of] the tax [removed: holiday has on Singapore taxes owed by us,] [added: holiday,] see Note 8 to Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We, our [removed: customers] [added: customers,] and our suppliers are subject to the risks of doing business in China.
[added: In particular, the imposition by the United States of tariffs on goods imported from China, or deemed to be of Chinese origin, and other] government actions that restrict our ability to sell our products to Chinese customers or to manufacture or source components in China, and countermeasures imposed by China in [removed: response, including the countermeasures announced in 2025,] [added: response] has impacted and could continue directly or indirectly adversely impacting our manufacturing costs, the availability and cost of materials, including gallium, germanium, antimony, tungsten, molybdenum, scandium, and other rare earth metals/critical minerals, and the sales of our products in China, the United States and elsewhere.
- the gain or loss of significant customers, or [removed: sockets with] [added: content in] any such [removed: customers,][added: customers’ products,]
In each of fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] and fiscal [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] one customer accounted for greater than ten percent of our net revenue.
As of October [removed: 3, 2025,] [added: 2, 2026,] three customers represented [removed: 82%] [added: 75%] of our aggregate gross accounts receivable.
Because our operating results are highly dependent upon our ability to produce integrated circuits at acceptable manufacturing yields, these factors could have a material [removed: and] adverse effect on our business.
These disruptions may result from [added: component shortages,] electrical power outages or fluctuations, water shortages, fire, earthquake, flooding, war, acts of terrorism, health advisories or risks, or other natural or man-made disasters, outages or disruptions to our information technology infrastructure, including those portions provided by third parties, as well as equipment or software maintenance, repairs, updates, and/or upgrades.
[added: Because the owner of the site for our Singapore Filter Manufacturing Facility] has decided to redevelop it for other uses, we will need to relocate our Singapore Filter Manufacturing Facility by the end of the sublease, and we have been exploring [added: both an extension of the sublease and also] alternative sites in other locations.
In addition, we [added: previously] announced [removed: in August 2025] that we took action aimed to optimize our U.S. factory footprint by planning for the closure of our wafer fabrication manufacturing operations in Woburn, Massachusetts and consolidating such manufacturing into Newbury Park, California.
Due to the highly specialized nature of our manufacturing processes, in the event of a disruption in production at one or more of our facilities for any reason, alternative production [removed: capacity would not be immediately available from third-party sources.]
We rely on foundries to provide silicon-based products and to supplement our [removed: gallium arsenide] wafer manufacturing capacity.
For those assembly and test subcontractors with whom we do not have long-term agreements, we typically procure services on a [removed: per-][added: per-order basis.]
During fiscal [removed: 2022,] [added: 2026 \[and subsequent to the end of fiscal 2026\], in reaction to market demand factors impacting capacity at a number of our vendors, including increased demand that foundries have faced associated with data center and AI-related buildouts,] we entered into [added: or continued to perform under] long-term capacity reservation and supply agreements with certain third-party [removed: foundries,] [added: foundries and OSATs,] under which we agreed to certain minimum purchase [removed: commitments.][added: commitments and/or upfront cash payments.]
These long-term capacity reservation agreements may have an [removed: additional] adverse effect on our operating results in the event our future supply needs are reduced below the minimum purchase [removed: expectations] [added: requirements] as a result of [removed: further] [added: a] reduction in [removed: overall market demand.][added: demand for our products.]
These risk factors include risks relating to the recent combination with Qorvo.
- Changes in our effective tax rate may adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow.
- We face risks of a loss of revenue if contracts with the U.S. government or defense and aerospace contractors are canceled or delayed or if defense spending is reduced.
- Imbalances in the supply of memory, storage and other components could increase our costs or our customers’ costs and product prices, which could reduce demand for our products.
- We may not be able to effectively execute restructuring initiatives, which could result in total costs that are greater than expected and cause us not to achieve the expected long-term operational benefits of such initiatives.
- Our acquisition of Qorvo will result in significant goodwill and acquired intangible assets, and changes in operating performance, market conditions, integration plans, product roadmaps or valuation assumptions could result in material impairment charges.
- our ability to negotiate agreements, social plans, and terms and conditions with our labor unions and works councils,
Operating expenses and certain working capital items related to our foreign-based operations are, in some instances, denominated in the local foreign currencies and therefore are affected by changes in the U.S. dollar exchange rate in relation to foreign currencies, such as the Euro, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, and Singapore Dollar.
When the U.S. dollar weakens compared to these and other currencies, such as in fiscal 2026 with the Mexican Peso, our operating expenses for foreign operations are and will be higher when remeasured back into U.S. dollars.
In addition, our ability to deduct the interest expense resulting from the Notes (as defined below) and other outstanding indebtedness is subject to the U.S. business interest expense limitation rules as modified by OBBBA.
Certain top-up tax inclusion may have a dilutive effect on the financial benefits derived from our tax incentive arrangements in future periods.
Some of our foreign subsidiaries operate under tax holiday arrangements and other preferential tax regimes that reduce our overall tax expense.
If we fail, or elect not, to satisfy these conditions, we could be required to repay certain previously realized tax benefits, become subject to clawback taxes, or lose the benefits of the tax holiday earlier than scheduled.
Changes in our effective tax rate may adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow.
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions.
Our effective tax rate is subject to fluctuations and impacted by a number of factors, including the following:
- changes in our operating structure, strategy and investment decisions;
- the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities, including those described in Note 8 to Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K;
- changes in the valuation of either our gross deferred tax assets or gross deferred tax liabilities;
- adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of various tax returns;
- changes in expenses not deductible for tax purposes;
- changes in available tax credits; and
- changes in tax laws, domestic and foreign, or the interpretation of such tax laws and changes in generally accepted accounting principles.
In addition, on October 5, 2026, we completed the acquisition of Qorvo, pursuant to two merger transactions involving cash-and-stock consideration (the “Mergers”).
The Mergers may result in greater-than-expected tax costs or liabilities.
The Mergers significantly increase the complexity of the Company’s global tax profile.
The Company may incur additional tax liabilities associated with the integration of legal entities, restructuring activities, transfer pricing arrangements, valuation of acquired deferred tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, limitations on tax attributes, and compliance with evolving international tax regimes, including Pillar Two.
Future tax outcomes may differ from estimates due to changes in facts, interpretations of tax law, audit examinations, regulatory developments, or integration decisions.
Such differences could materially affect the Company’s effective tax rate, cash tax obligations, and operating results.
As part of the Mergers, the Company is evaluating the impact of Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state and foreign provisions on the availability of acquired and existing tax attributes.
The analysis remains ongoing and may affect the amount and timing of realization of deferred tax assets, including tax credit carryforwards.
Any resulting limitations, if any, could affect future tax expense, cash tax payments, and valuation allowance assessments.
In addition, following the Mergers, tax authorities may increase their scrutiny of the combined company’s historical and future tax positions, including those associated with integration activities, legal entity restructuring, transfer pricing arrangements, acquisition accounting, and the utilization of tax attributes.
The resolution of tax examinations and related disputes may take several years and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and effective tax rate.
Any significant increase in our future effective tax rates could reduce net income and cash flow for future periods.
- our ability to forecast our customers’ demand for our products accurately,
- our ability to align production capacity to customer demand, which may lead to underutilization of our capacity in periods of lower demand or the lack of capacity in periods of excess demand, and fluctuations in manufacturing yields,
In addition, many of our largest customers, including our largest customer, typically refresh some or all of their product portfolios by releasing new models each year.
In some cases, product designs we pursue represent either opportunities to substantially increase our revenue by winning a new design or a risk of a substantial decrease in revenue by losing a component on which we are the incumbent.
Moreover, many customers, including our largest customer, frequently seek a second source for major components in their devices, which can significantly reduce the revenue obtained following a design win.
Risks Associated with the Proposed Transaction with Qorvo
- Completion of the proposed transaction with Qorvo may be delayed or not occur at all for a variety of reasons, including that the Merger Agreement is terminated, and the failure to complete the Mergers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of our common stock.
- Completion of the proposed Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, including certain regulatory approvals which may not be received, may take longer than expected or the receipt of which may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that cannot be met, and if these closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the proposed Mergers will not be completed.
- The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to pursue alternative transactions to the Mergers which could discourage a potential third party from making an alternative transaction proposal.
- While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.
- As a result of the Mergers, we anticipate that the scope and size of our operations and business will substantially change and will result in certain incremental risks to us, including increased competition.
We may not realize the full expected benefits of the Mergers.
- The Mergers will require us to incur substantial additional indebtedness, which could reduce our flexibility to operate our business and negatively affect our financial condition, and increase the risks associated with our level of indebtedness.
- If our senior management transitions are not successful, our business and future growth prospects could be harmed.
- We may encounter problems upgrading, enhancing, and improving our enterprise applications.
Risks Associated with the Proposed Transaction with Qorvo
Completion of the proposed transaction with Qorvo may be delayed or not occur at all for a variety of reasons, including that the Merger Agreement is terminated, and the failure to complete the Mergers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of our common stock.
On October 27, 2025, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Qorvo, Inc. (“Qorvo”), Comet Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub I”), and Comet Acquisition II, LLC (“Merger Sub II”), pursuant to which Merger Sub I will be merged with and into Qorvo (the “First Merger”), with Qorvo as the surviving entity in the First Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) with the Surviving Corporation continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and immediately following the First Merger, and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II as the surviving entity in the Second Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Completion of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions, including (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Qorvo’s stockholders, and the approval of the issuance of common stock as merger consideration by the Company’s stockholders as required under Nasdaq listing rules, (2) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the approval of the Mergers under certain other antitrust and foreign investment regimes, (3) the absence of any order, injunction or law prohibiting the Mergers in such jurisdictions, (4) the effectiveness of the registration statement pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued in the Mergers will be registered with the SEC, (5) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain standards set forth in the Merger Agreement, (6) compliance in all material respects by the other party with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (7) the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to each party.
Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Mergers will be completed in the expected timeframe (early in calendar year 2027), or at all.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including that either party may terminate if the Mergers are not completed by April 27, 2027, which date may be extended to July 27, 2027, and to October 27, 2027, in each case under certain circumstances as provided in the Merger Agreement (the “Outside Date”).
Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, each party under specified circumstances, including termination by such party to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or termination by the other party upon a change in such party’s board of directors’ recommendation to its
stockholders, will be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $298.7 million.
Alternatively, we, under specified circumstances, including termination following an injunction arising in connection with certain antitrust or foreign investment laws, or failure to receive certain required regulatory approvals of specified governmental authorities by the Outside Date, will be required to pay Qorvo a termination fee of $100.0 million.
Failure to complete the Mergers within the expected timeframe or at all could adversely affect our business and the market price of our common stock in a number of ways, including:
- the market price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects an assumption that the Mergers will be consummated;
- if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, we would be required to pay a termination fee of $298.7 million or $100.0 million, as described above;
- we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses for professional services in connection with the Mergers for which we will have received little or no benefit if the Mergers are not consummated; and
- we may experience negative publicity and/or reactions from our investors, employees, customers, suppliers, distributors and other business partners.
Completion of the proposed Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, including certain regulatory approvals which may not be received, may take longer than expected or the receipt of which may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that cannot be met, and if these closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the proposed Mergers will not be completed.
Various consents, clearances, approvals, authorizations and declarations of non-objection, or expiration of waiting periods (or extensions thereof), from certain regulatory and governmental authorities in the United States and certain other jurisdictions are included in the Merger Agreement as conditions to completing the proposed Mergers.
Regulatory and governmental entities may impose conditions on their respective approvals, in which case lengthy negotiations may ensue among such regulatory or governmental entities, the Company and Qorvo.
Such conditions, any such negotiations and the process of obtaining such regulatory approvals, consents or clearances, including any potential changes to the terms of the Mergers, could have the effect of delaying or preventing consummation of the proposed Mergers.
Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to consummate the Mergers, including cooperating to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to complete the Mergers.
Nonetheless, certain conditions to the completion of the pending Mergers are not within our or Qorvo’s control, and we cannot predict when or if these conditions will be satisfied (or waived, as applicable).
There can be no assurance that all required approvals will be obtained or that all closing conditions will otherwise be satisfied (or waived, if applicable), and, if all required approvals are obtained and all closing conditions are satisfied (or waived, if applicable), we can provide no assurance as to the terms, conditions and timing of such approvals or that the pending Mergers will be completed in a timely manner or at all.
Even if regulatory approvals are obtained, it is possible conditions will be imposed that could result in a material delay in, or the abandonment of, the pending Mergers or otherwise have an adverse effect on the Company.
The anticipated benefits we expect from the Mergers are based on projections and assumptions about our combined business with Qorvo, which may not materialize as expected or which may prove to be inaccurate.
- integrating financial forecasting and controls, procedures and reporting cycles;
Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Mergers and our future could disrupt our business relationships with our existing and potential customers, distributors, service providers and other business partners, who may attempt to negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than Qorvo.
Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Mergers could also adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain key personnel and other employees.
The pendency of the Mergers may also result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the financial markets, and may lead to litigation against us and our directors and officers.
Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against or otherwise resolving these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources.
Such litigation would be distracting to management and, may, in the future, require us to incur significant costs.
Such litigation could result in the Mergers being delayed and/or enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which could prevent the Mergers from being completed.

During the fiscal year ended October [removed: 3, 2025,] [added: 2, 2026,] the following key factors contributed to our overall results of operations, financial position, and cash flows:
- Net revenue decreased [removed: 2.2%] [added: 3.1%] to [removed: $4,086.9] [added: $3,959.6] million in fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] as compared to [removed: $4,178.0] [added: $4,086.9] million in fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] driven primarily by a decrease in market share at a significant customer, partially offset by an increase in demand for our [removed: mobile] [added: automotive, data center products,] and Wi-Fi products.
- Our ending cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance [removed: decreased 11.8%] [added: increased 87.7%] to [removed: $1,388.4] [added: $2,606.1] million in fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] as compared to [removed: $1,574.1] [added: $1,388.4] million in fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
The [removed: decrease] [added: increase] in [removed: cash,] cash [removed: equivalents,] and [removed: marketable securities] [added: cash equivalents] during fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] was primarily due to [removed: share repurchases] [added: the borrowing] of [removed: $830.2] [added: $800.0 million of the 2028 Notes, $600.0 million of the 2032 Notes, and $600.0 million of the 2036 Notes, which were used in fiscal 2027 to fund the cash portion of the Mergers, as well as cash generated from operations of $549.9] million, [added: partially offset by repayments of debt of $500.0 million,] dividend payments of [removed: $432.6] [added: $320.1] million, [removed: and] capital expenditures of [removed: $195.0] [added: $320.6] million, [removed: partially offset by cash generated from operations] [added: and share repurchases] of [removed: $1,300.8] [added: $114.5] million.

The decrease in net revenue in fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] as compared to fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] was driven primarily by a decrease in market share at a significant customer, partially offset by an increase in demand for our [removed: mobile] [added: automotive, data center,] and Wi-Fi products.

The decrease in gross profit in fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] as compared to fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] was primarily the result of [removed: unfavorable product mix, lower average selling prices, and an increase] [added: increases] in [added: input] costs [removed: associated with facility consolidation] and [removed: closure,] [added: unfavorable product mix,] partially offset by higher unit volumes.

The increase in research and development expenses in fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] as compared to fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] was primarily related to increases in headcount-related expenses, including share-based [removed: compensation and costs for engineering prototypes] [added: compensation,] as a result of our increased investment in developing new technologies and products.

We, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, are a U.S.-based global leader in high-performance radio frequency (“RF”), power management, and analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and solutions, serving mobile and a broad range of diversified markets, including physical AI and connected edge, defense and aerospace, data center and networking, and automotive.
On October 5, 2026, we completed the acquisition of Qorvo, Inc. (“Qorvo”), pursuant to two merger transactions involving cash-and-stock consideration (the “Mergers”).
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 27, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), Qorvo became a wholly owned subsidiary of Skyworks.
Qorvo stockholders received approximately $2.9 billion in cash and 85.3 million shares of Skyworks common stock in the aggregate.
We funded the cash portion of the Mergers with the net proceeds from the issuance of an aggregate of $2,000.0 million in senior notes, comprised of $800.0 million of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), $600.0 million of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), and $600.0 million of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes”), that we issued on August 10, 2026, as well as cash on hand and funds from our revolver.
In connection with the completion of the Mergers, we also completed the previously announced exchange offers for $1,550.0 million of outstanding senior notes of Qorvo.
Pursuant to the exchange offers, participating holders exchanged their Qorvo senior notes for newly issued senior notes of Skyworks having substantially similar terms.
Refer to Note 17 to Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to the Mergers and exchanged notes.
The discussions below related to our business and financial results for fiscal 2026 and prior periods do not include any impact from or information relating to the Mergers.
Restructuring, impairment, and other charges in fiscal 2026 were primarily due to costs associated with facility consolidation and closure and impairment charges on other current assets and certain assets held for sale.
The assets classified as held for sale as of October 2, 2026 were not material.
The increase in interest expense in fiscal 2026, as compared to fiscal 2025, was due to the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the 2032 Notes, and the 2036 Notes in August 2026.
Interest expense is estimated to increase in fiscal 2027 as our average borrowings outstanding are expected to be higher than in fiscal 2026.
The decrease in income tax expense in fiscal 2026, as compared to fiscal 2025, was primarily due to lower taxes, driven by the decrease in earnings, partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation shortfalls, uncertain tax positions, transaction costs related to the transaction with Qorvo, and a lower foreign-derived intangible income deduction benefit.
In January 2026, the
OECD Inclusive Framework on BEPS released significant administrative guidance including the side-by-side safe harbor package that will apply to U.S. multinational enterprise groups.
In connection with the completion of the Mergers and subsequent to fiscal year-end, we used the proceeds from the 2028 Notes, the 2032 Notes, and the 2036 Notes to partially fund the cash consideration for the Mergers, with additional funding provided by our cash on hand and funds from our revolver.
We also assumed $1,550.0 million of outstanding senior notes of Qorvo
through the issuance of new senior notes of the Company following the completion of the exchange offers and by the remaining outstanding indebtedness under outstanding senior notes of Qorvo following the completion of the exchange offers.
For additional discussion regarding our stock repurchase program, refer to Note 9 to Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, are a leading developer, manufacturer and provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and solutions for numerous applications, including aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, defense, entertainment and gaming, industrial, medical, smartphone, tablet, and wearables.
On October 27, 2025, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Qorvo, a provider of connectivity and power solutions, to combine Qorvo and Skyworks in a cash-and-stock transaction that values the combined company at approximately $22.0 billion as of the market close on October 27, 2025.
The Exchange Ratio is expected to result in Qorvo equityholders and Skyworks equityholders owning approximately 37% and 63%, respectively, of the combined company on a pro forma basis following the closing.
The Merger Agreement also provides for Skyworks’ assumption of certain Qorvo equity awards, subject to certain adjustments thereto in respect of, among other things, performance-based vesting conditions.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately following the closing, the Board of Directors will be comprised of 11 directors, consisting of (i) the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks, who will be the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks following the closing, (ii) seven directors designated by Skyworks and (iii) three directors designated by Qorvo who are reasonably acceptable to Skyworks, each of whom will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders of Skyworks.
Promptly following the closing, the Board of Directors will also designate a Chairman.
Robert Bruggeworth, Qorvo’s current President, Chief Executive Officer and director, will be one of Qorvo’s designees upon the closing.
The Mergers, which are anticipated to close early in calendar year 2027, are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by Qorvo’s stockholders and the approval by Skyworks’ stockholders of the issuance of Skyworks common stock included in the consideration to be paid to Qorvo stockholders, the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and other regulatory approvals under certain antitrust and foreign investment regimes, the absence of any order, injunction or law of such jurisdictions prohibiting the Mergers, and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by us.
We and Qorvo each have termination rights under the Merger Agreement.
Under specified circumstances, including termination by a party to accept a superior proposal or termination by the other party upon a change in such party’s board of directors’ recommendation to its stockholders, each of Qorvo and us will be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $298.7 million, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement.
Alternatively, under certain specified circumstances, including termination following an injunction arising in connection with certain antitrust or foreign investment laws, or failure to receive certain required regulatory approvals of specified governmental authorities, we will be required to pay Qorvo a termination fee of $100.0 million, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter (“Bridge Commitment Letter”) on October 27, 2025, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, which committed to provide, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, up to $3,050.0 million of senior unsecured bridge term loans for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash portion of the consideration to be paid to Qorvo stockholders, paying related fees and expenses in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, in certain circumstances, to refinance certain of Qorvo’s senior notes.
The receipt of financing by us is not a condition to our obligation to consummate the Mergers.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we and certain stockholders of Qorvo affiliated with Starboard Value (“SBV”), an affiliate of Peter Feld, a member of the board of directors of Qorvo so designated by SBV (each, a “SBV Stockholder”), entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “VSA”), pursuant to which each SBV Stockholder has agreed to vote its shares of Qorvo common stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement.
As of October 24, 2025, the SBV Stockholders collectively held approximately 8% of Qorvo’s issued and outstanding shares.
Each SBV Stockholder has also agreed, for a limited period of time not exceeding nine months from the date of the VSA, not to sell or transfer its shares of Qorvo common stock, subject to certain exceptions as specified in the VSA, and has agreed not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal.
The VSA will terminate, as to each SBV Stockholder, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the closing, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement, (c) the date of any Qorvo Triggering Event or Skyworks Triggering Event (each, as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (d) the written consent of Skyworks, Qorvo and the applicable SBV Stockholder.
- On February 4, 2025, the Board of Directors appointed Philip Brace as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a director, effective February 17, 2025.
- On May 7, 2025, the Board of Directors appointed Todd Lepinski as Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, effective as of June 2, 2025.
- On August 23, 2025, the Board of Directors appointed Philip Carter as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of September 8, 2025.

Amortization of intangible assets was consistent in fiscal 2025, as compared to fiscal 2024.
Restructuring, impairment, and other charges in fiscal 2024 was primarily due to the abandonment or delay of previously capitalized in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) projects of $147.9 million and employee severance costs.
The decrease in interest expense in fiscal 2025, as compared to fiscal 2024, was due to certain debt repayments in prior periods that reduced the amount of outstanding indebtedness.

The increase in income tax expense in fiscal 2025, as compared to fiscal 2024, was primarily due to higher foreign taxes including the tax impact of remeasuring existing net deferred tax liabilities in Singapore and a lower Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) benefit, partially offset by a decrease in Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), net of foreign tax credits and an increase in research and development credits.
