Qorvo, Inc. Revenue Disclosure
Revenue Recognition
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 to which the Company 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 less than 4% of overall revenue. The Company applies a five-step approach, as defined in ASC 606, 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, including distributors, and represents approximately 10% of net revenue in fiscal 2025. 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 sale of its products. However, the Company may authorize sales returns under certain circumstances, which include courtesy returns and like-kind exchanges. 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. There have been no material impairment losses on accounts receivable for fiscal years 2025, 2024 or 2023. Contract assets and contract liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were immaterial as of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024.
The Company invoices customers upon shipment and recognizes revenue in accordance with delivery terms. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had $114.9 million in remaining unsatisfied performance obligations with an original duration greater than one year, of which the majority is expected to be recognized as income over the next 12 months.
The Company includes shipping charges billed to customers in "Revenue" and includes the related shipping costs in "Cost of goods sold" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including tariffs, value-added taxes and excise taxes, are excluded from revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company incurs commission expense that is incremental to obtaining contracts with customers. Sales commissions (which are recorded in the "Marketing and selling" expense line item in the 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.

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
