(Unaudited)


1.1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Qorvo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (together, the "Company" or "Qorvo") have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which could differ materially from actual results. In addition, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 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 the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 201830, 2019.


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. Certain items in the fiscal 20182019 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 20192020 presentation.


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 years 20192020 and 20182019 are 52-week years.


2.2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


The Company assesses recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to determine the expected impacts on the Company's financial statements. The summary below describes impacts from newly issued standards as well as material updates to our previous assessments, if any, from Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.30, 2019.


In August 2018,February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." The new guidance clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. The Company intends to adopt the guidance, prospectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and does not expect any significant impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business." The new guidance clarifies the definition of a business and provides further guidance for evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. There was no impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force)." The new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company's historical policies were consistent with the new standard, and therefore, there was no impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842).," with multiple amendments subsequently issued. The new guidance requires lessees to recognizethat lease arrangements be presented on the lessee's balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term longer than 12 months, including those previously described as operating leases.  Also, in July 2018,equal to the FASB issued 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements," to provide clarification on specific topics, including adoption guidance and practical expedients.present value of the related future minimum lease payments. The Company plans to adoptadopted the new guidance utilizingstandard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, using the modified retrospective method and willapproach which permits lessees to recognize any cumulative effecta cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings atto the beginningopening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $70.7 million and a lease liability of $75.0 million.  The difference between the right-of-use asset and lease liability is primarily attributed to a deferred rent liability which existed under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, "Leases.

The Company also plans to electelected the transition package of three practical expedients, that permitsunder which the Company does not have to maintain its historical conclusions about lease identification,reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are leases, or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Further, the Company elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for substantially all of its classes of leases and to account for the combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. In addition, the Company made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet.

The adoption of this standard resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of less than $0.1 million. This standard did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 6 for further disclosures resulting from the adoption of this new standard.

(Unaudited)




for leases that exist at the date of adoption.  Currently, the Company is assessing the other available practical expedients for potential adoption.  The guidance will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.  The Company expects the valuation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, for leases previously described as operating leases, to be the present value of its forecasted future lease commitments, as determined by the standard.  The Company is continuing to assess the overall impacts of the new standard, including the discount rate to be applied in these valuations.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The new guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities measured under the fair value option and presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the assessment of valuation allowances when recognizing deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and there was no material impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," with several amendments subsequently issued.  The new guidance provides an updated framework for revenue recognition, resulting in a single revenue model to be applied by reporting companies under U.S. GAAP.  Under the new model, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of adoption is recognized at the date of initial application. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has implemented changes to its accounting policies, internal controls and disclosures to support the new standard; however, these changes were not material. See Note 8 for further disclosures resulting from the adoption of this new standard.

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Total intangible assets decreased
Cavendish Kinetics Limited
As of September 28, 2019, the Company had an investment in preferred shares in Cavendish Kinetics Limited (“Cavendish”), a private supplier of high-performance radio frequency ("RF") microelectromechanical system ("MEMS") technology for antenna tuning applications, with a carrying value of $59.4 million. The Company accounted for this investment as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value using the measurement alternative in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01.

On October 4, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish for $196.8 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition advances RF MEMS technology for applications across the Company's products and the technology will be transitioned into high-volume manufacturing for mobile devices and other markets.

The purchase of the remaining equity interest in Cavendish was considered to $463.4be an acquisition achieved in stages, whereby the previously held equity interest was remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value. The Company determined that the fair value of its previously held equity investment was $102.4 million asbased on the purchase consideration exchanged to acquire the remaining issued and outstanding capital of December 29, 2018, compared to $860.3Cavendish. This resulted in recognition of a gain of $43.0 million as of March 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to amortization expense for the three and nine months ended December 29, 201828, 2019, which is recorded in "Other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of $132.5Income.

The total purchase price of $305.9 million was allocated to Cavendish's net tangible assets (approximately $4.7 million), deferred tax liability (approximately $16.5 million) and $399.2intangible assets (approximately $206.4 million, respectively, primarily related to developed technology) based on their estimated fair values as of October 4, 2019.

The fair value of the Cavendish developed technology acquired was determined based on an income approach using the “excess earnings method,” which estimated the value of the intangible asset by discounting the future projected earnings of the asset to present value as of the valuation date. This developed technology is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 9 years.

The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets, deferred tax liability and intangible assets resulted in goodwill of approximately $111.3 million. The Company will continue to evaluate certain assets, liabilities and tax estimates over the measurement period (up to one year from the October 4, 2019 acquisition date).

The Company recorded postcombination compensation expense as well as other acquisition and integration related costs during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019 of $1.9 million and $3.1 million in "Other operating expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Active-Semi International, Inc.
On May 6, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Active-Semi International, Inc. ("Active-Semi"), a private fabless supplier of programmable analog power solutions. The acquisition expanded the Company's product offerings for existing customers and new customers in power management markets. The purchase price of $307.9 million was allocated to Active-Semi's net tangible assets (approximately $18.9 million) and intangible assets (approximately $158.4 million) based on their estimated fair values as of May 6, 2019. The more significant intangible assets acquired included developed technology of $76.7 million, customer relationships (which had net book values of $324.2$40.9 million and $127.3 million, respectively, asin-process research and development ("IPRD") of December 29, 2018).

The estimated fair value of available-for-sale debt securitiesActive-Semi customer relationships acquired was determined based on an income approach using the prevailing market“with and without method,” in which the value of the asset is determined by the difference in discounted cash flows of the profitability of the Company “with” the asset and the profitability of the Company “without” the asset. These customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.

The fair values of the Active-Semi developed technology and IPRD acquired were determined based on an income approach using the “excess earnings method,” which estimated the values of the intangible assets by discounting the future projected earnings of the asset to present value as of the valuation date. The acquired developed technology assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 9 years.

During the nine months ended December 29, 201828, 2019, $31.0 million of IPRD assets were completed, transferred to finite-lived intangible assets, and March 31, 2018.are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years. The IPRD remaining as of December 28, 2019 is expected to be completed during fiscal 2021 with remaining costs to complete of less than $2.0 million.

The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets resulted in goodwill of approximately $130.6 million. The Company determineswill continue to evaluate certain assets, liabilities and tax estimates over the cost of an investment sold based onmeasurement period (up to one year from the specific identification method.acquisition date).

Equity Investment Without a Readily Determinable Fair Value
On October 4, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining issued and outstanding capital of Cavendish. Prior to the acquisition date, the Company had accounted for its investment in Cavendish as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and the investment was classified in "Long-term investments" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 4 for disclosures related to the acquisition of Cavendish.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Marketable securities are measured at fair value and recorded in "Cash and cash equivalents," "Other current assets" and "Long-term investments" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related unrealized gains and losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," a component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax (debt securities) and "Other income (expense)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (equity securities).

Other Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments. See Note 67 for further disclosures related to the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.


6. LEASES
The Company leases certain of its corporate, manufacturing and other facilities from multiple third-party real estate developers. The Company also leases various machinery and office equipment. These operating leases expire at various dates through 2036, and some of these leases have renewal options, with the longest ranging up to two, ten-year periods.

The Company determines that a contract contains a lease at lease inception if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In evaluating whether the right to control an identified asset exists, the Company assesses whether it has the right to direct the use of the identified asset and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset.

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments considering the term of the lease, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date. The lease term includes renewal options when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised, and excludes termination options. To the extent that the Company's agreements have variable lease payments, the Company includes variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and excludes those that depend on facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time.

The components of lease expense for operating leases for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, are as follows:
 December 28, 2019

7.8. STOCK REPURCHASES


On May 23, 2018,October 31, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock, which included approximately $126.3$117.0 million authorized under athe prior share repurchase program which was terminated concurrent with the new authorization. Under this program, share repurchases are made in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, the number of shares and the timing of any repurchases depends on general market conditions, regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other considerations. The program does not require the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares, does not have a fixed term, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

During the three months ended December 29, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock for approximately $152.0 million under the current share repurchase program. During the nine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 4.6 million shares of its common stock for approximately $338.7 million (which included 0.4 million shares of its common stock for approximately $35.9 million under a prior share repurchase program).

During the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares and 2.3 million shares of its common stock for approximately $80.0 million and $168.9 million, respectively, under a prior share repurchase program.

8. REVENUE

Adoption of Accounting Policy
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 for open contracts using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative adjustment to "Accumulated deficit" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018. The impact from the cumulative-effect adjustment was immaterial (less than 1% of revenue in the quarter of adoption), related to over-time revenue recognition for customer-controlled inventory and point in time revenue recognition for intellectual property with a right to use. As the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact, comparative financial information for prior periods has not been restated and continues to be presented under the accounting standards in effect for the respective periods.

Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of semiconductor products, either directly to a customer or to a distributor, or at completion of a consignment process. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A majority of the Company's revenue is recognized at a point in time, either on shipment or delivery of the product, depending on individual customer terms and conditions. Revenue from sales to the Company’s distributors is recognized upon shipment of the product to the distributors (sell-in). Revenue is recognized from the Company’s consignment programs at a point in time when the products are pulled from consignment inventory by the customer. Revenue recognized for products and services over-time is immaterial (less than 2% of overall revenue). The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in the new standard in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the corresponding performance obligation is satisfied.

Sales agreements are in place with certain customers and contain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, warranty and supply, but typically do not require minimum purchase commitments. In the absence of a sales agreement, the Company’s standard terms and conditions apply. The Company considers a customer's purchase order, which is governed by a sales agreement or the Company’s standard terms and conditions, to be the contract with the customer.

The Company’s pricing terms are negotiated independently, on a stand-alone basis. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration in the form of rebate programs is offered to certain customers,

(Unaudited)




including distributors. A majority of these rebates are accrued
During the three and classified as a contra accounts receivable,nine months ended December 28, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares and represent less than 5% of net revenue. The Company determines variable consideration by estimating the most likely amount of consideration it expects to receive from the customer. The Company's terms and conditions do not give its customers a right of return associated with the original sale5.1 million shares, respectively, of its products. However,common stock for approximately $125.0 million and $390.1 million, respectively, under the Company may authorize sales returnsprior and current share repurchase programs. As of December 28, 2019, $890.9 million remained available for repurchases under certain circumstances, which include courtesy returnsthe current share repurchase program.

During the three and like-kind exchanges. Sales returns are classified as a refund liability. The Company reduces revenue and records reserves for product returns and allowances, rebate programs and scrap allowance based on historical experience or specific identification depending on the contractual terms of the arrangement.

The Company’s accounts receivable balance is from contracts with customers and represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration from its customers. Payments are due upon completion of the performance obligation and subsequent invoicing. Substantially all payments are collected within the Company’s standard terms, which do not include any financing components. To date, there have been no material impairment losses on accounts receivable. Contract assets and contract liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were immaterial in the periods presented.

The Company invoices customers upon shipment and recognizes revenues in accordance with delivery terms. As ofnine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company had $34.7repurchased approximately 2.3 million in remaining unsatisfied performance obligations with an original duration greater than one year,shares and 4.6 million shares, respectively, of whichits common stock for approximately $152.0 million and $338.7 million, respectively, under the majority is expected to be recognized as income over the next twelve months.prior share repurchase program.


The Company includes shipping charges billed to customers in "Revenue" and includes the related shipping costs in "Cost of goods sold" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including tariffs, value-added and excise taxes, are excluded from revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

9. REVENUE
The Company incurs commission expense that is incremental to obtaining contracts with customers. Sales commissions (which are recorded in the "Selling, general and administrative" expense line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) are expensed when incurred because such commissions are not owed until the performance obligation is satisfied, which coincides with the end of the contract term, and therefore no remaining period exists over which to amortize the commissions.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company changed its presentation of net revenue based on the "sold to" address of the customer to the above presentation of net revenue based on the location of the customers' headquarters. The December 29, 2018 information above has been reclassified to reflect this change. The Company believes that the disaggregation of revenue based on the location of the customers' headquarters is more representative of how its revenue and cash flows are impacted by geographically-sensitive changes in economic factors.

The Company also disaggregates revenue by operating segments (see Note 10)11).


9.10. RESTRUCTURING


In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company initiated restructuring actions to reduce operating expenses and improve its manufacturing cost structure, including the phased closure of a wafer fabrication facility in Florida and idling production at a wafer fabrication facility in Texas.  As a result of these actions, inthe end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019,2020, the Company has recorded impairmenttotal cumulative restructuring charges of $14.9$88.1 million (to adjust the carrying valueas a result of certain of its property and equipment to reflect its fair value) andthese restructuring actions, including accelerated depreciation of $3.1$47.2 million (to reflect changes in estimated useful lives of certain property and equipment), impairment charges of $15.9 million (to adjust the carrying value of certain property and equipment to reflect its fair value), employee termination benefits of $13.9 million and other exit costs of $11.1 million.  The Company expects to record additional expenses of approximately $1.0 million for employee termination benefits and $4.0 million for other exit costs as a result of these actions. 

During fiscal 2018, the Company initiated restructuring actions to improve operating efficiencies. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company has recorded cumulative expenses of $46.3 million, $23.3 million and $0.2 million for impairment charges, employee termination benefits and other exit costs, respectively, as a result of these restructuring actions which are substantially complete.

The Company does not allocate restructuring costs to its reportable segments.

11.12. INCOME TAXES

U.S. Tax Reform
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") was enacted into law. This new law included significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, full expensing for investments in new and used qualified property, limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation and the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system.

In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). During

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)


the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed its analysis within the measurement period provided by SAB 118, and the adjustments during this measurement period have been included in net earnings from operations as an adjustment to income tax expense.

As described in Note 12 Income Taxes in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company was able to reasonably estimate certain effects of the Tax Act provisions that became effective during fiscal 2018 and, therefore, recorded provisional amounts, including a $116.4 million expense related to the one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the “Transitional Repatriation Tax”) and a $39.1 million benefit from the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. For the nine months ended December 29, 2018, the Company made a $17.7 million SAB 118 measurement period adjustment consisting of a $2.6 million reduction in the tax expense related to the previously recorded provisional amount for the Transitional Repatriation Tax and a $15.1 million increase in U.S. deferred tax assets.

The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions create a new requirement that certain income earned by foreign subsidiaries be currently included in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder. No adjustments related to the potential GILTI impact on deferred taxes have been recorded as the Company made its accounting policy choice during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 to treat taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”).

The GILTI and executive compensation limitation provisions in the Tax Act became effective for the Company in fiscal 2019. Provisional estimates for the current year impact of these new provisions are included in the calculation of the fiscal 2019 annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date income (loss) before taxes.


Income Tax Expense
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 29, 201828, 2019 and December 30, 201729, 2018 was calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax(pre-

tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) to year-to-date income (loss) to determine the amounts for the three and nine months ended December 29, 201828, 2019 and December 30, 2017.29, 2018.


The Company’s income tax expense was $21.8 million and $46.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2019, and the Company’s income tax expense was $1.4 million and income tax benefit was $30.0 million, for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018, respectively,respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 11.9% and the Company's income tax expense was $98.5 million and $88.6 million14.1% for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was28, 2019, respectively, and 1.9% and (72.2)% for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018, respectively, and 150.6% and 145.7%respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, respectively.

28, 2019 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”), domestic tax credits generated, foreign permanent differences, the discrete treatment of postcombination compensation expenses related to the Active-Semi and Cavendish acquisitions, and a discrete expense related to the Company’s change in its permanent reinvestment assertion. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, foreign permanent differences, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, changes in unrecognized tax benefits, GILTI, a discrete tax benefit for changes in provisional estimates related to the Transitional Repatriationone-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and, for the nine months ended December 29, 2018 only, a discrete tax benefits of $8.3 millionbenefit resulting from a retroactive incentive allowing previously non-deductible payments to be amortized andamortized.

Management has concluded that it can no longer support an assertion that certain earnings which have previously been subject to U.S. federal taxation at its foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested. During the SAB 118 increase in U.S deferred tax assets. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to a net discrete provisional tax expense of $95.9 million resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act, tax rate differences in foreign jurisdictions, foreign permanent differences, state income taxes, domestic tax credits generated, changes in unrecognized tax benefits, a discrete tax benefit for excess stock compensation deductions in accordance with ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (adopted in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2018),2020, the Company updated forecasts of cash balances and forcash flow outside the nine months only,U.S. and began to implement a more centralized approach to cash management. As a result, the Company recorded $4.0 million of discrete tax expense associated with intra-entity transfers in accordance with ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" (adopted induring the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2018).

Deferred Taxes
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 domestic federal and state tax net operating loss ("NOL") and credit carry-forwards that expire in fiscal years 2019 to 2038 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 income tax provisions.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due2020, the Company recorded an additional $9.3 million of discrete deferred tax expense related to lapsesoutside tax basis differences realized on the Company's investment in Cavendish.

Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Act that instituted fundamental changes to the taxation of multinational corporations, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, which became effective as of January 1, 2018, and implemented a territorial tax system. As a result of the Tax Act, we recorded, as of March 31, 2018, a provisional tax expense of $77.3 million, which was comprised of a $116.4 million tax expense related to the one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the “Transitional Repatriation Tax”), offset by a provisional deferred tax benefit of $39.1 million from the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, in accordance with current SEC guidance, we finalized our accounting for the impact of the Tax Act within the SAB 118 measurement period of one year from the date of enactment of the Tax Act.

As of December 29, 2018, we completed accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act described above, and in the first three quarters of fiscal 2019, we recorded discrete income tax benefits of $17.7 million related to our fiscal 2018 estimated

provisional tax expense, consisting of $2.6 million to reduce the tax expense related to the previously recorded provisional amount for the Transitional Repatriation Tax and a $15.1 million increase in U.S. deferred tax assets. In addition, the new GILTI and limitations on compensation provisions enacted by the Tax Act became effective for the Company in fiscal 2019 and have been accounted for in the calculation of current year taxes. The GILTI provisions result in income earned by certain foreign subsidiaries being included in the gross income of its direct and indirect U.S. shareholders.

Our provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 29, 201828, 2019 and December 30, 201729, 2018 was 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) to year-to-date income (loss) to determine the amounts for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017.those respective periods.


For the three and nine months ended December 29, 2018,28, 2019, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.4$21.8 million and income tax benefit of $30.0$46.5 million, respectively, which was comprised primarily of tax benefitsexpense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income and the reversal of the permanent reinvestment assertion with regards to unrepatriated foreign earnings, offset by a tax benefit related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses and domestic tax credits. For the three months ended December 29, 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $1.4 million, which was comprised primarily of tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income, partially offset by tax benefit related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses.  For the nine months ended December 29, 2018, we recorded income tax benefit of $30.0 million, which was comprised primarily of tax benefit related to domestic and international operations generating pre-tax book losses, a tax incentive granted in Singapore and adjustments in the provisional estimates required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, estimates and a Singapore tax incentive granted during the second quarter,partially offset by a tax expense related to international operations generating pre-tax book income.

For the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017, we had income tax expense of $98.5 million and $88.6 million, respectively, which was comprised primarily of tax expenses related to the Transitional Repatriation Tax, international operations generating pre-tax book income and the adoption of new accounting guidance related to intra-entity transfers of assets, offset by tax benefits from a provisional remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities for the decrease in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% upon enactment of the Tax Act, domestic operations generating pre-tax book losses and, for the nine months only, tax benefit from the adoption of new accounting guidance related to stock compensation.


A valuation allowance remained against certain domestic and foreign net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will not be realized.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity. As of December 29, 2018,28, 2019, we had working capital of approximately $1,201.6$1,576.5 million, including $649.7$1,097.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of approximately $1,402.5$1,249.2 million at March 31, 2018,30, 2019, including $926.0$711.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. The decreaseincrease in working capital was primarily due to the retirementissuance of $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 20232029 Notes in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and a majoritythe $100.0 million draw on the Term Loan (as defined in “Commitments and Contingencies” below) in the first quarter of the 2025 Notes.fiscal 2020.

Ltd. and expect to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings of our other foreign subsidiaries.

See Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the pending business acquisitions.

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 and demand for our products, acquisition opportunities, 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 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 anticipate, operating cash flows may be insufficient to meet our needs. If existing resources and cash from operations are not sufficient to meet our future requirements or if we perceive conditions to be favorable, we may seek additional debt or equity financing. 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 various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen 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.
