Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Qorvo reported mixed fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results, with stronger margins but lower revenue. GAAP revenue was $808.3 million, down 7.0% year-over-year, with GAAP gross margin improving to 48.9%. GAAP operating income was $31.5 million, including an $82.4 million goodwill and intangible asset impairment, yielding GAAP diluted EPS of $0.32.
On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin rose to 52.6%, operating income reached $190.2 million, and diluted EPS increased to $1.69, reflecting meaningful profitability improvement. Qorvo generated free cash flow of $255 million and ended the quarter with $1.2 billion in cash.
The company repurchased $400 million of stock in the quarter, reducing common shares outstanding by roughly 5% versus the prior quarter. Management expects fiscal 2027 non-GAAP gross margin above 50% and non-GAAP diluted EPS approaching $7.00. Fiscal 2027 will be a 53-week year, and the second quarter will include 14 weeks. Qorvo also highlighted its pending merger transaction with Skyworks and has stopped holding earnings calls and issuing traditional forward-looking guidance.

Insights
Margins and cash flow improved, but revenue declined and GAAP results were hit by impairments.
Qorvo delivered Q4 fiscal 2026 revenue of $808.3 million, down 18.6% sequentially and 7.0% year-over-year. Despite softer top-line trends, non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 52.6%, and non-GAAP operating income rose year-over-year to $190.2 million, indicating better mix and cost discipline.
GAAP results were pressured by an $82.4 million goodwill and intangible asset impairment and other adjustments, leaving GAAP operating margin at only 3.9% and diluted EPS at $0.32. By contrast, non-GAAP diluted EPS reached $1.69, up from $1.42 a year earlier, highlighting how much the add-backs affect reported profitability.
Cash generation remained solid, with Q4 free cash flow of $255.0 million and a quarter-end cash balance of $1.2 billion. The company repurchased $400.1 million of stock, cutting diluted share count and supporting non-GAAP EPS. Management’s outlook for fiscal 2027—non-GAAP gross margin above 50% and non-GAAP EPS approaching $7.00—assumes continued efficiency gains, while the pending merger with Skyworks introduces strategic change and execution considerations.

6 terms
non-GAAP gross margin financial
"On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 52.6%, operating income was $190.2 million"
Non-GAAP gross margin is a measure of a company's profitability that shows how much money it makes from sales after subtracting the direct costs of producing its products or services, but without applying certain accounting adjustments required by standard rules. It helps investors understand the company's core earning ability by excluding items like one-time expenses or accounting changes. This metric provides a clearer picture of ongoing business performance beyond official financial reports.
free cash flow financial
"Qorvo generated $255 million of free cash flow and repurchased $400 million of shares"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
goodwill and intangible asset impairment financial
"Goodwill and intangible asset impairment | 82,369 | | | 79,503"
Goodwill and intangible asset impairment is an accounting write-down that happens when a company determines the extra value it paid for things like brand names, customer lists or patents is no longer justified by expected future benefits. For investors, an impairment reduces reported assets and profit for the period and can be a red flag that past acquisitions didn’t pay off or that future cash flows will be weaker — like realizing you overpaid for a house when the neighborhood declines.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
inventory days on hand financial

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Qorvo® Announces Fiscal 2026 Fourth Quarter Financial Results
GREENSBORO, N.C. — May 5, 2026 — Qorvo® (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, today announced financial results for the Company’s fiscal 2026 fourth quarter ended March 28, 2026.
On a GAAP basis, revenue for Qorvo’s fiscal 2026 fourth quarter was $808.3 million, gross margin was 48.9%, operating income was $31.5 million, and diluted earnings per share was $0.32. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 52.6%, operating income was $190.2 million, and diluted earnings per share was $1.69.
Bob Bruggeworth, president and chief executive officer of Qorvo, said, “Qorvo’s fiscal fourth quarter performance reflects continued operational excellence and the strategic optimization of business mix within and across operating segments. March quarterly non-GAAP gross margin expanded by 670 basis points year-over-year, and full-year fiscal 2026 non-GAAP gross margin expanded by 370 basis points versus the prior fiscal year. Looking forward, we expect continued momentum reducing capital intensity and enhancing profitability. For full-year fiscal 2027, we continue to expect non-GAAP gross margin above 50% and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share approaching $7.00.”
Financial Commentary
Grant Brown, chief financial officer of Qorvo, said, "During the fiscal fourth quarter, Qorvo generated $255 million of free cash flow and repurchased $400 million of shares outstanding, representing a reduction of approximately 5% of common stock outstanding versus the prior quarter. Qorvo completed its fiscal fourth quarter with a cash balance of $1.2 billion."
Given Qorvo's pending transaction with Skyworks, Qorvo has discontinued conducting conference calls and providing forward-looking guidance. Qorvo's fiscal 2027 will be a 53-week year, and its fiscal second quarter, ending Saturday, October 3, 2026, will include 14 weeks.
See "Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures" below. Qorvo's actual results may differ from these expectations and projections, and such differences may be material.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains some or all of the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income and operating margin, (iii) non-GAAP net income, (iv) non-GAAP net income per diluted share, (v) free cash flow, (vi) EBITDA, (vii) non-GAAP return on invested capital (ROIC), and (viii) net debt or positive net cash. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures is either adjusted from GAAP results to exclude certain expenses or derived from multiple GAAP measures, which are outlined in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables, attached, and the “Additional Selected Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations” tables, attached.
In managing Qorvo's business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. In developing and monitoring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions taken to reduce costs with the goal of increasing gross margin and operating margin. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures to assess whether research and development efforts are at an appropriate level, and when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and other operating expenses. Also, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and enable investors to analyze the results of operations in the same way as management. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to enable investors to perform additional comparisons of our operating results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of expenses unrelated to operations, and stock-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in Qorvo's underlying performance.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures offer an additional view of Qorvo's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of Qorvo's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting Qorvo's business. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Our rationale for using these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as their impact on the presentation of Qorvo's operations, are outlined below:
Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin. Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring-related charges, acquisition and integration-related costs, and certain other charges or income. We believe that exclusion of these costs in presenting non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin facilitates a useful evaluation of our historical performance and projected costs and the potential for realizing cost efficiencies.
We view amortization of acquired acquisition-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s research and development efforts, trade names, and customer relationships, as items arising from pre-acquisition activities, determined at the time of an acquisition, rather than ongoing costs of operating Qorvo’s business. While these intangible assets are continually evaluated for impairment, amortization of the cost of purchased intangible assets is a static expense, which is not typically affected by operations during any particular period. Although we exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase price accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
We believe that presentation of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin and other non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense assists management and investors in evaluating the period-over-period performance of Qorvo's ongoing operations because (i) the expenses are non-cash in nature, and (ii) although the size of the grants is within our control, the amount of expense varies depending on factors such as short-term fluctuations in stock price volatility and prevailing interest rates, which can be unrelated to the operational performance of Qorvo during the period in which the expense is incurred and generally are outside the control of management. Moreover, we believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense in presenting non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin and other non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors to understand the impact of the expensing of stock-based compensation to Qorvo's gross profit and gross margins and other financial measures in comparison to prior periods. We also believe that the adjustments to profit and margin related to restructuring-related charges, and acquisition and integration-related costs do not constitute part of Qorvo's ongoing operations and therefore the exclusion of these items provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time and facilitates a useful evaluation of our historical and projected performance. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin has economic substance because the excluded expenses do not represent continuing cash expenditures and, as described above, we have little control over the timing and amount of the expenses in question.
Non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income and operating margin. Non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income and operating margin exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and integration-related costs, merger-related costs, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructuring-related charges and certain settlements, gains, losses and other charges. We believe that presentation of a measure of operating expenses, operating income and operating margin that excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense is useful to both management and investors for the same reasons as described above with respect to our use of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin. We believe that acquisition and integration-related costs, merger-related costs, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructuring-related charges and certain settlements, gains, losses and other charges do not constitute part of Qorvo's ongoing operations and therefore, the exclusion of these costs provides management and investors with better visibility into the actual costs required to generate revenues over time and facilitates a useful evaluation of our historical and projected performance. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income and operating margin has economic substance because the excluded expenses are either unrelated to ongoing operations or do not represent current cash expenditures.
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and integration-related costs, merger-related costs, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructuring-related charges, certain settlements, gains, losses and other charges, investment and debt-related gains and losses, and also reflect an adjustment of income taxes. The income tax adjustment primarily represents the use of research and development tax credit carryforwards, deferred tax expense (benefit) items not affecting taxes payable, adjustments related to the deemed and actual repatriation of historical foreign earnings, non-cash expense (benefit) related to uncertain tax positions and other items unrelated to the current fiscal year or that are not indicative of our ongoing business operations. We believe that presentation of measures of net income and net income per diluted share that exclude these items is useful to both management and investors for the reasons described above with respect to non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses, operating income and operating margin. We believe disclosure of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share has
economic substance because the excluded expenses are either unrelated to ongoing operations or do not represent current cash expenditures.
Free cash flow. Qorvo defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities during the period minus property and equipment expenditures made during the period, and free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We use free cash flow as a supplemental financial measure in our evaluation of liquidity and financial strength. Management believes that this measure is useful as an indicator of our ability to service our debt, meet other payment obligations and make strategic investments. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, our definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our entire statement of cash flows.
EBITDA. Qorvo adjusts GAAP net income for interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and intangible amortization expense, stock-based compensation and other charges that are not representative of Qorvo's ongoing operations (including goodwill and intangible asset impairments, investment and debt-related gains and losses, acquisition-related costs, merger-related costs, restructuring-related costs and certain settlements, gains, losses and other charges) when presenting EBITDA. Management believes that this measure is useful to evaluate our ongoing operations and as a general indicator of our operating cash flow (in conjunction with a cash flow statement which also includes, among other items, changes in working capital and the effect of non-cash charges).
Non-GAAP ROIC. ROIC is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides useful supplemental information for management and the investor by measuring the effectiveness of our operations' use of invested capital to generate profits. We use ROIC to track how much value we are creating for our shareholders. Non-GAAP ROIC is calculated by dividing annualized non-GAAP operating income, net of an adjustment for income taxes (as described above), by average invested capital. Average invested capital is calculated by subtracting the average of the beginning balance and the ending balance of equity plus net debt, less certain goodwill.
Net debt or positive net cash. Net debt or positive net cash is defined as unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, minus any borrowings under our credit facility and the principal balance of our senior unsecured notes. Management believes that net debt or positive net cash provides useful information regarding the level of Qorvo's indebtedness by reflecting cash and investments that could be used to repay debt.
Inventory days on hand. Inventory days on hand is defined as (a) average net inventory for the period, divided by (b) the result of non-GAAP cost of goods sold for the period divided by the number of days in the period.
Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. Our earnings release contains forward-looking gross margin and diluted earnings per share. We provide these non-GAAP measures to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) that we provide them to investors on a historical basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort due to variability and difficulty in making accurate projections for items that would be required to be included in the GAAP measures, such as stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration-related costs, merger-related costs, restructuring-related charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, certain settlements, gains, losses and other charges, investment and debt-related gains or losses and the provision for income taxes, which could have a potentially significant impact on our future GAAP results.
Limitations of non-GAAP financial measures. The primary material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool compared to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are these non-GAAP financial measures (i) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry, and (ii) exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance, thus limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. We compensate for these limitations by providing full disclosure of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the corresponding GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, to enable investors to perform their own analysis of our gross profit and gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, net income, net income per diluted share and net cash provided by operating activities. We further compensate for the limitations of our use of non-GAAP financial measures by presenting the corresponding GAAP measures more prominently.

We do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements or publicly announce the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements, other than as is required under U.S. federal securities laws. Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those relating to fluctuations in our operating results on a quarterly and annual basis; our substantial dependence on developing new products and achieving design wins; our dependence on several large customers for a substantial portion of our revenue; a loss of revenue if defense and aerospace contracts are canceled or delayed; our dependence on third parties; risks related to sales through distributors; risks associated with the operation of our manufacturing facilities; business disruptions; poor manufacturing yields; increased inventory risks and costs, due to timing of customers' forecasts; our inability to effectively manage or maintain relationships with chipset suppliers; our ability to continue to innovate in a very competitive industry; underutilization of manufacturing facilities; unfavorable changes in interest rates, pricing of certain precious metals, utility rates and foreign currency exchange rates; our acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic investments failing to achieve financial or strategic objectives; our ability to effectively execute on restructuring initiatives; our ability to attract, retain and motivate key employees; warranty claims, product recalls and product liability; changes in our effective tax rate; enactment of international or domestic tax legislation, or changes in regulatory guidance; changes in the favorable tax status of certain of our subsidiaries; risks associated with social, environmental, health and safety regulations, and climate change; risks from international sales and operations; economic regulation in China; changes in government trade policies, including imposition of tariffs and export restrictions; we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt; restrictions imposed by the agreements governing our debt; our reliance on our intellectual property portfolio; claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights; security breaches, failed system upgrades or regular maintenance and other similar disruptions to our IT systems; theft, loss or misuse of personal data by or about our employees, customers or third parties; provisions in our governing documents and Delaware law may discourage takeovers and business combinations that our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests; negative impacts from activist stockholders; volatility in the price of our common stock; risks and uncertainties relating to the Mergers, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of us or Skyworks to terminate the Merger Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us or Skyworks in connection with the Mergers; the possibility that the Mergers do not close when expected or at all because of required regulatory, stockholder, or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all (and the risk that seeking or obtaining such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Mergers); that efforts to complete the Mergers may affect our business relationships with our existing and potential customers, suppliers, service providers and other business partners; that the expected synergies from the Mergers may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than anticipated; any failure to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of the Company and Skyworks; and that the Mergers may divert management’s attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities. These and other risks and uncertainties, which are described in more detail under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025, and Qorvo’s subsequent reports and statements that we file with the SEC, could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any of these forward-looking statements.

FAQ
How did Qorvo (QRVO) perform in its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter?
Qorvo’s fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter revenue was $808.3 million, down 7% year-over-year, but profitability improved. GAAP diluted EPS was $0.32, while non-GAAP diluted EPS rose to $1.69 as non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 52.6% on better mix and cost control.
What margins did Qorvo (QRVO) report for Q4 fiscal 2026 on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis?
Qorvo reported GAAP gross margin of 48.9% and GAAP operating margin of 3.9% in Q4 fiscal 2026. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin improved to 52.6% and operating margin to 23.5%, reflecting exclusions of stock-based compensation, amortization and other non-recurring charges.
How much free cash flow did Qorvo (QRVO) generate in Q4 fiscal 2026?
Qorvo generated $255.0 million of free cash flow in Q4 fiscal 2026. The company defines free cash flow as net cash from operating activities minus property and equipment expenditures, and it uses this metric to assess liquidity, debt service capacity and ability to fund strategic investments.
What stock repurchase activity did Qorvo (QRVO) undertake in Q4 fiscal 2026?
During Q4 fiscal 2026, Qorvo repurchased $400.1 million of its common stock. Management noted this represented a reduction of approximately 5% in common shares outstanding versus the prior quarter, supporting per-share metrics while returning capital to shareholders.
What guidance did Qorvo (QRVO) provide for fiscal 2027?
For fiscal 2027, Qorvo expects non-GAAP gross margin above 50% and non-GAAP diluted EPS approaching $7.00. The company also indicated fiscal 2027 will be a 53-week year and that the fiscal second quarter will include 14 weeks of results.
How is the pending Skyworks merger affecting Qorvo (QRVO) communications?
Given its pending transaction with Skyworks, Qorvo has discontinued conducting earnings conference calls and issuing traditional forward-looking guidance. Instead, it provided limited forward-looking non-GAAP metrics while reminding investors that actual results may differ materially from these expectations.
