Exhibit 1.01
Qorvo, Inc.
Conflict Minerals Report
For the Year Ended December 31, 2015
Introduction
Products of Qorvo, Inc. (referred to collectively with its wholly owned subsidiaries in this report as the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) intentionally contain tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (“3TG metals” or “conflict minerals”), and these metals are necessary to the functionality and production of our products. We have conducted a good faith Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether any of these conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) or an adjoining country (collectively, the “Covered Countries”), or are from recycled or scrap sources. As a result of the RCOI, we have determined that at least one of the smelters or refiners (herein collectively referred to as “smelters”) in our suppliers’ supply chains is sourcing conflict minerals from the Covered Countries. Further, some of our suppliers have not yet identified all of the smelters in their supply chains, and we are uncertain as to some smelters’ origins of conflict minerals. Therefore, we are required to exercise “due diligence” on the sourcing of the 3TG metals used in our products, and report on that due diligence in this Conflict Minerals Report.
Qorvo (NASDAQ:QRVO) is a leading provider of core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and aerospace/defense applications. Qorvo has more than 7,300 global employees dedicated to delivering solutions for everything that connects the world. Qorvo has the industry's broadest portfolio of products and core technologies; world-class ISO9001-, ISO 14001- and ISO/TS 16949-certified manufacturing facilities; and is a DoD-accredited 'Trusted Source' (Category 1A) for GaAs, GaN and BAW products and services. For the industry's leading core RF solutions, visit www.qorvo.com.
In this Conflict Minerals Report, we will address the following:
| • | The due diligence design of our Conflict Minerals Program; |
| • | A description of due diligence measures taken; |
| • | The results of and conclusion of our due diligence measures; |
| • | The processing facilities used in our supply chain (i.e., “smelters”); and |
| • | Steps to be taken to improve our due diligence measures for the year ending December 31, 2016. |
We are providing this Conflict Minerals Report pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”).
Due Diligence Design
Qorvo’s Conflict Minerals Program was designed to conform to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “OECD Guidance”). Currently, this is the foremost internationally recognized due diligence framework. The OECD framework encompasses the following steps:
| 1. | Establish strong company management systems; |
| 2. | Identify and assess risk in the supply chain; |
| 3. | Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks; |
| 4. | Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain; and |
| 5. | Report on supply chain due diligence. |
As outlined in the OECD Guidance, the internationally recognized standard on which our system is based, we support an industry initiative that audits smelters’ due diligence activities. That industry initiative is the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (“EICC”) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“GeSI”) Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). The data on which we relied for certain statements in this Conflict Minerals Report was obtained through our membership in the CFSI, using the RCOI report for QRVO.
Due Diligence Measures Taken
1. Establish strong company management systems.
Qorvo has adopted and continues to maintain a Conflict Mineral Policy, which is publicly available, and can be obtained by emailing a request to ConflictMinerals@qorvo.com. Key elements of our policy include:
| • | Our commitment to ensure that our products are not contributing to the ongoing conflict in the Covered Countries; |
| • | Our commitment to responsible sourcing within the Covered Countries; and |
| • | Our commitment to inform stakeholders of pertinent sourcing information learned as we survey our supply chain (i.e., whether any 3TG metals came from the Covered Countries). |
We have maintained an internal Conflict Minerals team to support supply chain due diligence and implement our Conflict Mineral Policy. The Conflict Minerals team periodically reports on the status of Qorvo’s Conflict Minerals Program to senior management.
We engaged a third party auditor to review the Qorvo Conflict Minerals Program’s due diligence design and implementation. This review was not a complete Independent Private Sector Audit (“IPSA”) as required to declare products “DRC Conflict Free.” Rather, the purpose of this review was to prepare for potential future declarations and serve as an independent review of and provide continued improvement to our Conflict Minerals Program.
We are an active member of the CFSI and participate on several sub-teams. Through our CFSI membership, we are able to contribute to the organization’s ongoing work in identifying and auditing due diligence practices of smelters. We participate on teams that:
| • | Determine if facilities are smelters; |
| • | Engage smelters in the Conflict-Free Smelter Program; |
| • | Manage tools for CFSI members to determine the status of facilities provided to them by their supply chains; |
| • | Manage the development of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) form; and |
| • | Develop best practices for supply chain due diligence. |
We are also a member of IPC (an electronics industry trade group and standards making body – see www.ipc.org ) and participate in the development of standards guiding the exchange of conflict mineral data within the supply chain.
Qorvo has established an anonymous “whistleblower” policy for employees and external parties to submit any concerns about ethical issues, or any grievances regarding our policies and practices (see http://ir.qorvo.com/corporate-governance.cfm and select “Whistleblower Policy” under “Policies and Procedures”).
2. Identify and assess risk in the supply chain
We use our internal product compliance tool to identify which suppliers provide us with components or materials that contain any of the 3TG metals. We use the CFSI CMRT to collect sourcing information from these suppliers, and we evaluate their responses for completeness, logic, and degree of smelter identification based on established criteria. We have implemented a third party software solution to help collect and manage supplier CMRT data. This software solution performs an analysis on supplier CMRTs based on a set of validation rules that we designed in collaboration with the third party.
The CMRT analysis is broken into three categories:
| 1. | Errors – this includes checking for all mandatory fields in a supplier’s template, and any logical inconsistences with their data. A CMRT will not be accepted to the system until errors are corrected. |
| 2. | Actions required – this includes asking the supplier to perform further due diligence or provide additional information regarding its CMRT. |
| 3. | Smelter Actions required – this includes asking the supplier to perform further actions on specific smelter listings. |
All suppliers are emailed the results of their CMRT analysis through our third party software solution.
We also utilize several tools available to CFSI members to review our suppliers’ smelter lists and assess the level to which they have vetted their own supply chain relative to the originating smelter.
3. Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks.
We do not directly purchase from any smelters, nor do the majority of our suppliers. Because the electronics industry is not the most significant industry for any of the conflict minerals, except for tantalum, and we are not direct customers of smelters, we have very little influence over the smelters’ sourcing.
For those smelters that are sourcing from, or for which there is reason to believe they may be sourcing from the Covered Countries, and are not on the CFSP lists or active in the CFSP, we engage the direct supplier and perform further due diligence. Based on information provided by the direct supplier, including information it provides about its supply chain, our normal operating procedures are to:
| 1. | Continue trade with the direct supplier, while the direct supplier continues to work the risk mitigation process through its supply chain. Such steps would include communicating with and beginning engagement in the CFSP. |
| 2. | If the mitigation process failed and the smelter refused to engage with the CFSP, we would require the direct suppliers to identify and use alternate suppliers whose conflict mineral-processing smelters participate in the CFSP. |
Our Product Compliance Team reports to senior management semi-annually regarding the status of our Conflict Minerals Program. Our Product Compliance team further reports the findings of the supply chain assessment to the Chief Financial Officer of Qorvo, who is the executive sponsor of our conflict minerals initiatives.
4. Carry out independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence at identified points in the supply chain.
We do not have the resources or expertise to audit the smelters in our supply chain. We use the resources available from our participation in the CFSI to provide more information to our suppliers to help them get the smelters in their supply chain to participate in the CFSP. We encourage smelters in our supply chain both directly and through our direct suppliers to participate in the CFSP.
5. Report on supply chain due diligence.
We have filed this Conflict Minerals Report with the SEC, and it is available on our website at http://ir.qorvo.com/sec.cfm.
Findings
Qorvo made great progress in 2015 with respect to identifying the sourcing of conflict minerals in our products. Although all of the suppliers have not yet identified all of the smelters in their supply chains, we continue to progress towards this goal.
At the end of 2015, 253 facilities were identified as possible smelters in Qorvo’s supply chain. As of April 18, 2016, of these 253 facilities:
| • | 248 are known smelters by the CFSI: |
| ◦ | 190 are compliant to the CFSP; |
| ◦ | 29 are active in the CFSP or are Tungsten Industry-Conflict Minerals Council (“TI-CMC”) members who will undergo a CFSP Audit in the near future; |
| ◦ | 12 are in communication with the CFSI and are interested in joining the CFSP; and |
| ◦ | 17 facilities require further outreach to bring them into the CFSP. |
| • | 5 facilities are known to not be legitimate smelters. |
In addition to the foregoing data regarding the facilities of which we are aware, we have five suppliers that have not yet identified 100% of their smelters, and one supplier that did not provide any sourcing information for 2015.
Unfortunately, due to these limitations in our sourcing information, we are unable to determine the origin of all of the conflict minerals contained in our products at this time. Although we have not identified any conflict minerals in our supply chain that have supported the ongoing conflict in the Covered Countries, we cannot affirm that our products are “DRC conflict free” at this time (this can be considered as equivalent to stating our products are “DRC conflict undeterminable”). This determination is made with respect to all Qorvo products.
Processing Facilities (Smelters) not known to be “DRC Conflict Free”
Since we have determined that we are unable to identify the sourcing information for all of the smelters in our supply chain, we are required to identify, if known, the facilities (i.e., smelters) that processed the 3TG metals in our products, and if known, the country of origin of those metals, and to describe the efforts to determine the mine or location of origin with the greatest possible specificity.
As a member of the CFSI, we rely on the sourcing information disclosed during the CFSP’s third party auditing process. We believe this to be the most reasonable and accurate method of determining the mines or locations of origin for conflict minerals. In addition to the smelters listed in the tables below, our suppliers submitted other facilities that we believe are not smelters at this time. They are not listed in this Conflict Minerals Report as being “processing facilities” under Rule 13p-1. We continue to work with our suppliers to identify the legitimate smelters in our supply chain.
In the section above, we have stated that 190 smelters in our supply chain are compliant to the CFSP. These smelters are listed in Table 1 below.
Of the 58 remaining known smelters, we classify another 29 smelters as “active” in the CFSP. They are either working with the CFSP on completing their sourcing audits, or are working to close any findings. Of these active smelters, six are TI-CMC members (see www.ti-cmc.org ). TI-CMC members have agreed to undergo a sourcing audit within two years of becoming a TI-CMC category A member (see http://www.ti-cmc.org/ti-cmc_framework.pdf). These six TI-CMC members have self-declared their sourcing, and none of them have declared they are sourcing from the Covered Countries. These smelters are listed in Table 2 below.
For the remaining 29 smelters, 12 smelters are in communications with the CFSP. These smelters are listed in Table 3 below.
Of the remaining 17 smelters, 3 smelters are London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) members in various stages of getting their Responsible Gold certificate (either setting up the audit, reviewing or closing findings of the audit, or have passed the audit but not yet listed in the CFSI list for gold smelters). The status of these smelters, listed in Table 4 below, can be found at http://www.lbma.org.uk/Default.aspx?CCID=21993&FID=141296&ExcludeBoolFalse=True&ID=/refiners-gold-current.
For the remaining 14 smelters, we do not have any sourcing information, and we do not have any supplemental information to provide any risk indications that these smelters are not sourcing from the Covered Countries in a responsible manner. These smelters are listed in Table 5 below.
Calendar Year 2016 Due Diligence Planned Improvements
For the year ending December 31, 2016, we plan to take the following actions to mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
| • | Provide additional guidance to relevant suppliers on conflict minerals reporting and the use of the CMRT; |
| • | Simplify the process by which we gather, maintain and monitor the conflict minerals data from our suppliers; |
| • | Continue to work with those suppliers who have provided incomplete smelter information, or have identified facilities that are not smelters in their CMRT and drive them to 100% identification of the smelters in their supply chains; |
| • | Further communicate to suppliers the importance of using smelters that are compliant to the CFSP, or equivalent; |
| • | Continue our active participation in the CFSI, including the engagement of smelters in the CFSP; and |
| • | Continue to work towards making our supplier resources more readily available. |
