INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
We believe there are several key growth trends shaping the wireless industry. First is the advent
of the mobile Internet, where consumers are increasingly demanding mobile devices with faster data
rates, advanced image quality and improved Web connections. We believe this demand is one of the
biggest secular growth trends in technology.
On the
high-end of the cellular handset market, the smart phone growth -
which is at the heart of the mobile Internet phenomenon - is
fostering this industry wide sea change. In effect, the smart phone
is moving from a higher end tool reserved for the corporate executive
to an increasingly mainstream communication platform necessity - one
that is changing the way in which we live, work and play. Social
networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are only fueling this
trend. Furthermore, this segment is being embraced and widely
promoted by carriers who benefit from the highly profitable data
services revenue stream as subscribers move to enhanced data plans.
The increased presence of multimedia-rich mobile devices has led manufacturers to recognize the
increasingly important role multimode Front-End Modules (FEM) play in the rapidly evolving
wireless handset market, particularly as the industry migrates to 3G and 4G technologies which
enable applications such as Web browsing, video streaming, gaming, MP3 players and cameras.
Next-generation EDGE, WEDGE and WCDMA wireless platforms are now being used in the majority of the
more than one billion cellular phones the industry produces annually which results in increasing
complexity in the FEM because each new wireless platform and operating frequency band requires
additional amplifier, filtering and switching content to support:
|
|
|
backward compatibility to existing networks, |
|
|
|
|
simultaneous transmission of voice and data, |
|
|
|
|
international roaming, and
|
5
|
|
|
broadband functionality to accommodate music, video, data, and other multimedia
features. |
Further, given constraints on handset size and power consumption, these complex FEMs must remain
physically small, energy efficient and cost effective, while also managing an unprecedented level
of potential signal interference within the handset.
Finally, and a direct result of this increasing FEM complexity, the addressable semiconductor
content within the transmit and receive chain portion of the mobile device is increasing. We
believe this trend is creating an incremental market opportunity measured in the billions of
dollars as switching, filtering and wireless local area networking functionality are integrated.
Meanwhile, outside of the handset market, wireless technologies and the opportunity for
applications for analog semiconductor products are also rapidly proliferating. According to
Gartner, a leading independent market research firm, the total available market for the analog
semiconductor segment is expected to exceed $18 billion in 2014. Today, this adjacent analog
semiconductor market, which is characterized by longer product lifecycles and relatively high gross
margins, is fragmented and diversified among various end-markets, customer bases and applications
including:

SKYWORKS STRATEGY
Skyworks mission is to achieve mobile connectivity leadership through semiconductor innovation.
Key elements in our strategy include:
Diversifying Our Business
By leveraging our core analog and mixed signal technology, Skyworks is able to deliver solutions to
a broad and diverse set of end markets and customers. In the handset market, we currently support
all top tier handset manufacturers as well as the leading smart phone suppliers, and have strategic
relationships with each key baseband supplier. In non-handset markets, we continue to take
advantage of our catalog business, intellectual property and worldwide distribution network, to
bolster our product pipeline and expand our addressable markets beyond the approximately 1,000
global customers and 2,500 analog components currently marketed.
6
Diversifying our Business
Gaining Market Share
Our customer engagements are increasingly centered on solving highly complex multimode, multiband,
switching, filtering, digital control and amplification challenges system-level requirements
which intersect with Skyworks core competencies. Skyworks continues to invest in developing
architectures which optimize power efficiency while minimizing cost and footprint, which we believe
will allow us to meet our customers demanding next-generation technology requirements as well as
stringent quality standards and manufacturing scale necessities.
Capitalizing on Content Growth in Third and Fourth Generation Applications
As the industry migrates to multi-mode EDGE, WEDGE, WCDMA and LTE architectures across a multitude
of wireless broadband applications, RF complexity in the transmit and receive chain substantially
increases given simultaneous voice and high speed data communications requirements, coupled with
the need for backward compatibility to existing networks. As a result of this complexity in the
FEM, we believe that our addressable market is increasing significantly.
Delivering Operational Excellence
Skyworks strategy is to either vertically integrate our supply chain where we can differentiate or
otherwise enter alliances and strategic relationships for leading-edge capabilities. This hybrid
manufacturing approach allows us to better balance external capacity with the demands of the
marketplace. Internally, our capacity utilization remains high and we are therefore able to
maintain margins and our return on invested capital on a broader range of revenues. We continue to
focus on achieving the industrys shortest cycle times, highest yields and ultimately lowest
product cost structure.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Our products are primarily sold through a direct Skyworks sales force. This team is globally
deployed across all of our major market regions. In some markets we supplement our direct sales
effort with independent manufacturers representatives, assuring broader coverage of territories
and customers. We also utilize distribution partners, some of
which are franchised globally with others focused in specific regional markets (e.g., Europe, North
America, China and Taiwan).
We maintain an internal marketing organization that is responsible for developing sales and
advertising literature, print media, such as product announcements and catalogs, as well as a
variety of Web-based content. Skyworks sales engagement begins at the earliest stages in a
customer design. We strive to provide close technical collaboration with our customers at the
inception of new programs. This relationship allows our team to facilitate customer-driven
solutions, which leverage the unique strength of our product portfolio while providing high value
and greatly reducing time-to-market.
We believe that the technical and complex nature of our products and markets demand an
extraordinary commitment to maintain intimate ongoing relationships with our customers. As such, we
strive to expand the scope of our customer relationship to include design, engineering,
manufacturing, purchasing and project management. We also employ a collaborative approach in
developing these relationships by combining the support of our design teams, applications
engineers, manufacturing personnel, sales and marketing staff and senior management.
We believe that maintaining frequent and interactive contact with our customers is paramount to our
continuous efforts to provide world-class sales and service support. By listening and responding to
feedback, we are able to mobilize resources to raise our level of customer satisfaction, improve
our ability to anticipate future product needs, and enhance our understanding of key market
dynamics. We are confident that diligence in following this path will position Skyworks to

REVENUES FROM AND DEPENDENCE ON CUSTOMERS; CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
For information regarding customer concentration and revenues from external
customers, see Note 18 of Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
We own and are licensed under numerous United States and foreign patents and patent applications
related to our products, our manufacturing operations and processes, and other activities. In
addition, we own a number of trademarks and service marks applicable to certain of our products and
services. We believe that intellectual property, including patents, patent applications, trade
secrets and trademarks are of material importance to our business. We rely on patent, copyright,
trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws, as well as nondisclosure and
confidentiality agreements and other methods, to protect our confidential and proprietary
technologies, devices, algorithms and processes. We cannot guarantee that these efforts will
meaningfully protect our intellectual property, and others may independently develop substantially
equivalent proprietary technologies, devices, algorithms or processes. In addition, the laws of
some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the
United States, and effective copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret protection may not be
available in those jurisdictions. In addition to protecting our proprietary technologies and
processes, we strive to strengthen our intellectual property portfolio to enhance our ability to
obtain cross-licenses of intellectual property from others, to obtain access to intellectual
property we do not possess and to more favorably resolve potential intellectual property claims
against us. Furthermore we seek to generate high gross margin revenue through the sale and license
of non-core intellectual property and occasionally purchase intellectual property to support our
core business. Due to rapid technological changes in the industry, we believe that establishing and
maintaining a technological leadership position depends primarily on our ability to develop new
innovative products through the technical competence of our engineering personnel.
COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
We compete on the basis of time-to-market, new product innovation, overall product quality and
performance, price, compliance with industry standards, strategic relationships with customers and
baseband vendors, and protection of our intellectual property. Certain competitors may be able to
adapt more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements, or may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of
their products than we can.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Our products and markets are subject to continued technological advances. Recognizing the
importance of such technological advances, we maintain a high level of research and development
activities. We maintain close collaborative relationships with many of our customers to help
identify market demands and target our development efforts to meet those demands. We focus our
development efforts on new products, design tools and manufacturing leveraging our core
technologies.
RAW MATERIALS
Raw materials for our products and manufacturing processes are generally available from several
sources. It is our policy not to depend on a sole source of supply unless market or other
conditions dictate otherwise. Consequently, there are limited situations where we procure certain
components and services for our products from single or limited sources. We purchase materials and
services primarily pursuant to individual purchase orders. However, we have a limited number of
long-term supply contracts with our suppliers. Certain of our suppliers consign raw materials to
us at our manufacturing facilities. We request these raw materials and take title to them as they
are needed in our manufacturing process. We believe we have adequate sources for the supply of raw
materials and components for our manufacturing needs with suppliers located around the world.
10
BACKLOG AND INVENTORY
Our sales are made primarily pursuant to standard purchase orders for delivery of products, with
such purchase orders officially acknowledged by us according to our own terms and conditions. We
also maintain Skyworks-owned finished goods inventory at certain customer hub locations. We do
not recognize revenue until these customers consume the Skyworks-owned inventory from these hub
locations. Due to industry practice, which allows customers to cancel orders with limited advance
notice to us prior to shipment, and with little or no penalty, we believe that backlog as of any
particular date may not be a reliable indicator of our future revenue levels. The cancellation or
deferral of product orders, the return of previously sold products, or overproduction due to a
change in anticipated order volumes could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which
could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
Federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of substances into the environment,
the disposal of hazardous wastes, and other activities affecting the environment have had, and will
continue to have, an impact on our manufacturing operations. Most of our customers have mandated
that our products comply with local and regional lead free and other green initiatives. We
believe that our current expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation
necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection, and other
expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims, will not have a material adverse effect on
our liquidity and capital resources, competitive position or financial condition. We are unable to
assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements.
SEASONALITY
Sales of our products are subject to seasonal fluctuation and periods of increased demand in
end-user consumer applications, such as cellular handsets. The highest demand for our handset
products generally occurs in the calendar quarter ending in December. The lowest demand for our
handset products generally occurs in the calendar quarter ending in March.
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
For information regarding net revenues by geographic region for each of the last three fiscal
years, see Note 18 of Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The majority of our tangible long
lived assets are located in the United States of America and Mexico (see Note 18 of Item 8). Risks
attendant to our foreign operations are discussed in Item 1A-Risk Factors.
EMPLOYEES
As of October 1, 2010, we employed approximately 3,700 persons. Approximately 450 of our employees
in Mexico are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
You should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to the other information
contained in this report, before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition
or results of operations could be harmed by any of these risks. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not currently known to us or other
factors not perceived by us to present significant risks to our business at this time also may
impair our business operations, financial condition or results from operations.
We operate in the highly cyclical wireless communications semiconductor industry, which is subject
to significant downturns.
We operate primarily in the wireless communications semiconductor industry, which is cyclical and
subject to rapid declines in demand for end-user products in both the consumer and enterprise
markets. Since late 2008, uncertain economic conditions worldwide, together with other factors such
as the continued volatility of the financial markets, have made it difficult for our customers and
for us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities.
11
Although we believe that the
market for wireless communications semiconductor products has
stabilized, continued
uncertainty and economic weakness could result in another market contraction and, as a result, our
business, financial condition and results of operations would likely be
materially and adversely affected. Such periods of industry downturn are characterized by
diminished product demand and revenues, manufacturing overcapacity, excess inventory levels,
accelerated erosion of average selling prices, and restructuring and/or impairment charges.
Furthermore, downturns in the wireless communications semiconductor industry may be prolonged, and
any extended delay or failure of the wireless semiconductor market to recover from an economic
downturn would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations beyond our current fiscal year.
Our operating results may be adversely affected by substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations
and market downturns.
Our revenues, earnings and other operating results have fluctuated significantly on a quarterly and
annual basis in prior fiscal years and our revenues, earnings and other operating results may
fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations are due to a number of factors, many of which are
beyond our control.
These factors include, among others:
|
|
|
changes in end-user demand for the products (principally cellular handsets)
manufactured and sold by our customers, |
|
|
|
|
the effects of competitive pricing pressures, including decreases in average selling prices
of our products, |
|
|
|
|
production capacity levels and fluctuations in manufacturing yields, |
|
|
|
|
availability and cost of materials and services from our suppliers, |
|
|
|
|
the gain or loss of significant customers, |
|
|
|
|
our ability to develop, introduce and market new products and technologies on a timely
basis, |
|
|
|
|
new product and technology introductions by competitors, |
|
|
|
|
changes in the mix of products produced and sold, |
|
|
|
|
market acceptance of our products and our customers, |
|
|
|
|
our ability to continue to generate revenues by licensing and/or selling non-core
intellectual property, and |
|
|
|
|
intellectual property disputes, including those concerning payments associated
with the licensing and/or sale of intellectual property. |
The foregoing factors are difficult to forecast, and these, as well as other factors, could
materially and adversely affect our quarterly or annual operating results. If our operating results
fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, it could materially and adversely affect
the price of our common stock.
Our stock price has been volatile and may fluctuate in the future.
The trading price of our common stock has and may continue to fluctuate significantly. Such
fluctuations may be influenced by many factors, including:
|
|
|
the recent unprecedented volatility of the financial markets, |
|
|
|
|
uncertainty regarding the prospects of the domestic and foreign economies, |
12
|
|
|
our performance and prospects, |
|
|
|
|
the performance and prospects of our major customers, |
|
|
|
|
the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock, |
|
|
|
|
investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate, |
|
|
|
|
changes in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by analysts, and |
|
|
|
|
domestic and international political conditions. |
Public stock markets have recently experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This
volatility significantly and negatively affected the market prices of securities of many technology
companies, including the market price of our common stock in late 2008 and early 2009. The return
of such volatility could result in broad market fluctuations that could materially and adversely
affect the market price of our common stock in future periods.
In addition, fluctuations in our stock price, volume of shares traded, and changes in our trading
multiples may make our stock attractive to momentum, hedge or day-trading investors who often shift
funds into and out of stocks rapidly, exacerbating price fluctuations in either direction. Our
company has been, and in the future may be, the subject of commentary by financial news media. Such
commentary may contribute to volatility in our stock price. If our operating results do not meet
the expectations of securities analysts, the financial news media or investors, our stock price may
decline, possibly substantially over a short period of time.
The wireless communications semiconductor markets are characterized by significant competition
which may cause pricing pressures, decreased gross margins and rapid loss of market share and may
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The wireless communications semiconductor industry in general and the markets in which we compete
in particular are very competitive. We compete with United States and international semiconductor
manufacturers of all sizes in terms of resources and market share, including Avago Technologies, RF Micro Devices and Triquint Semiconductor.
We currently face significant competition in our markets and expect that intense price and product
competition will continue. This competition has resulted in, and is expected to continue to result
in, declining average selling prices
for our products and increased challenges in maintaining or increasing market share. Furthermore,
additional competitors may enter our markets as a result of growth opportunities in communications
electronics, the trend toward global expansion by foreign and domestic competitors and
technological and public policy changes. We believe that the principal competitive factors for
semiconductor suppliers in our markets include, among others:
|
|
|
rapid time-to-market and product ramp, |
|
|
|
|
timely new product innovation, |
|
|
|
|
product quality, reliability and performance, |
|
|
|
|
product price, |
|
|
|
|
features available in products, |
|
|
|
|
compliance with industry standards, |
|
|
|
|
strategic relationships with customers, |
|
|
|
|
access to and protection of intellectual property, and |
13
|
|
|
maintaining access to raw materials, supplies and services at a competitive cost. |
We might not be able to successfully address these factors. Many of our competitors enjoy the
benefit of:
|
|
|
long presence in key markets, |
|
|
|
|
brand recognition, |
|
|
|
|
high levels of customer satisfaction, |
|
|
|
|
ownership or control of key technology or intellectual property, and |
|
|
|
|
strong financial, sales and marketing, manufacturing, distribution, technical or
other resources. |
As a result, certain competitors may be able to adapt more quickly than we can to new or emerging
technologies and changes in customer requirements or may be able to devote greater resources to the
development, promotion and sale of their products than we can.
Current and potential competitors have established, or may in the future establish, financial or
strategic relationships among themselves or with customers, resellers or other third parties. These
relationships may affect customers purchasing decisions. Accordingly, it is possible that new
competitors or alliances among competitors could emerge and rapidly acquire significant market
share. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and potential competitors.
Increased competition could result in pricing pressures, decreased gross margins and loss of market
share and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our success depends upon our ability to develop new products and reduce costs in a timely manner.
The wireless communications semiconductor industry generally and, in particular, the markets into
which we sell our products are highly cyclical and characterized by constant and rapid
technological change, continuous product evolution, price erosion, evolving technical standards,
short product life cycles, increasing demand for higher levels of integration, increased
miniaturization, reduced power consumption and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. Our
operating results depend largely on our ability to continue to cost-effectively introduce new and
enhanced products on a timely basis. The successful development and commercialization of
semiconductor devices and modules is highly complex and depends on numerous factors, including:
|
|
|
the ability to anticipate customer and market requirements and changes in
technology and industry standards, |
|
|
|
|
the ability to obtain capacity sufficient to meet customer demand, |
|
|
|
|
the ability to define new products that meet customer and market requirements, |
|
|
|
|
the ability to complete development of new products and bring products to market on a
timely basis, |
|
|
|
|
the ability to differentiate our products from offerings of our competitors, |
|
|
|
|
overall market acceptance of our products, |
|
|
|
|
the length of time that a particular product is in demand, and |
|
|
|
|
the ability to obtain adequate intellectual property protection for our new products. |
Our ability to manufacture current products, and to develop new products, depends, among other
factors, on the viability and flexibility of our own internal information technology systems, or IT
Systems.
14
We will be required to continually evaluate expenditures for planned product development and to
choose among alternative technologies based on our expectations of future market growth. We may
not be able to develop and introduce new or enhanced wireless communications semiconductor products
in a timely and cost-effective manner, and our products may not satisfy customer requirements or
achieve market acceptance or we may not be able to anticipate new industry standards and
technological changes. We also may not be able to respond successfully to new product announcements
and introductions by competitors or to changes in the design or specifications of complementary
products of third parties with which our products interface. If we fail to rapidly and
cost-effectively introduce new and enhanced products in sufficient quantities that meet our
customers requirements, our business and results of operations would be materially and adversely
harmed.
In addition, prices of many of our products decline, sometimes significantly, over time. Our
products may become obsolete earlier than planned or may not have life cycles long enough to allow
us to recoup the cost of our investment in designing such products. Accordingly, we believe that
to remain competitive, we must continue to reduce the cost of producing and delivering existing
products at the same time that we develop and introduce new or enhanced products. We may not be
able to continue to reduce the cost of our products to remain competitive.
If Original Equipment Manufactures, or OEMs and Original Design Manufacturers, or ODMs, of communications electronics products do not
design our products into their equipment, we will have difficulty selling those products. Moreover,
a design win from a customer does not guarantee future sales to that customer.
Our products are not sold directly to the end-user, but are components or subsystems of other
products. As a result, we rely on OEMs and ODMs of wireless communications electronics products to
select our products from among alternative offerings to be designed into their equipment. Without
these design wins, we would have difficulty selling our products. If a manufacturer designs
another suppliers product into one of its product platforms, it is more difficult for us to
achieve future design wins with that platform because changing suppliers involves significant cost,
time, effort and risk on the part of that manufacturer. Also, achieving a design win with a
customer does not ensure that we will receive significant revenues from that customer. Even after a
design win, the customer is not obligated to purchase our products and can choose at any time to
reduce or cease use of our products, for example, if its own products are not commercially
successful, or for any other reason. We may not continue to achieve design wins or to convert
design wins into actual sales, and failure to do so could materially and adversely affect our
operating results.
Our manufacturing processes are extremely complex and specialized and disruptions could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our manufacturing operations are complex and subject to disruption, including due to causes beyond
our control. The fabrication of integrated circuits is an extremely complex and precise process
consisting of hundreds of separate steps. It requires production in a highly controlled, clean
environment. Minor impurities, contamination of the clean room environment, errors in any step of
the fabrication process, defects in the masks used to print circuits on a wafer, defects in
equipment or materials, human error, or a number of other factors can cause a substantial
percentage of wafers to be rejected or numerous die on each wafer to malfunction. Because our
operating results are highly dependent upon our ability to produce integrated circuits at
acceptable manufacturing yields, these factors could have a material adverse affect on our
business.
Additionally, our operations may be affected by lengthy or recurring disruptions of operations at
any of our production facilities or those of our subcontractors. These disruptions may result from
electrical power outages, fire,
15
earthquake, flooding, war, acts of terrorism, health advisories or
risks, or other natural or manmade disasters, as well as equipment maintenance, repairs and/or
upgrades. Disruptions of our manufacturing operations could cause
significant delays in shipments until we are able to shift the products from an affected facility
or subcontractor to another facility or subcontractor. In the event of such delays, the required
alternative capacity, particularly wafer production capacity, may not be available on a timely
basis or at all. Even if alternative wafer production or assembly and test capacity is available,
we may not be able to obtain it on favorable terms, which could result in higher costs and/or a
loss of customers. We may be unable to obtain sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet demand,
either at our own facilities or through external manufacturing or similar arrangements with others.
Due to the highly specialized nature of the gallium arsenide integrated circuit manufacturing
process, in the event of a disruption at the Newbury Park, California or Woburn, Massachusetts
semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities for any reason, alternative gallium arsenide production
capacity would not be immediately available from third-party sources. These disruptions could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to warranty claims, product recalls and liability claims.
Although we invest significant resources in the testing of our products, we
may discover from time to time defects in our products after they have been shipped, and we may be
required to incur additional development and remediation costs, pursuant to warranty and
indemnification provisions in our customer contracts and purchase orders. The potential liabilities
associated with these, and similar, provisions in certain of our customer contracts are capped at
significant amounts, or are uncapped. These problems may divert our technical and other resources
from other product development efforts and could result in claims against us by our customers or
others, including liability for costs associated with product recalls, or other obligations under
customer contracts, which may adversely impact our operating results. If any of our products
contain defects, or have reliability, quality or compatibility problems, our reputation may be
damaged and we could be subject to liability claims, which could make it more difficult for us to sell our products to existing and prospective
customers and could adversely affect our operating results.
We may not be able to maintain and improve manufacturing yields that contribute positively to our
gross margin and profitability.
Minor deviations or perturbations in the manufacturing process can cause substantial manufacturing
yield loss, and in some cases, cause production to be suspended. Manufacturing yields for new
products initially tend to be lower as we complete product development and commence volume
manufacturing, and typically increase as we bring the product to full production. Our forward
product pricing includes this assumption of improving manufacturing yields
and, as a result, material variances between projected and actual manufacturing yields will have a
direct effect on our gross margin and profitability. The difficulty of accurately forecasting
manufacturing yields and maintaining cost competitiveness through improving manufacturing yields
will continue to be magnified by the increasing process complexity of manufacturing semiconductor
products. Our manufacturing operations will also face pressures arising from the compression of
product life cycles, which will require us to manufacture new products faster and for shorter
periods while maintaining acceptable manufacturing yields and quality without, in many cases,
reaching the longer-term, high-volume manufacturing conducive to higher manufacturing yields and
declining costs.
We are dependent upon third parties for the manufacture, assembly and test of our products.
We rely upon independent wafer fabrication facilities, called foundries, to provide silicon-based
products and to supplement our gallium arsenide wafer manufacturing capacity. There are significant
risks associated with reliance on third-party foundries, including:
|
|
|
the lack of wafer supply, potential wafer shortages and higher wafer prices, |
|
|
|
|
limited control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, production costs and quality
assurance, and |
|
|
|
|
the inaccessibility of, or delays in, obtaining access to, key process technologies. |
16
Although we have long-term supply arrangements to obtain additional external manufacturing
capacity, the third-party foundries we use for our standby manufacturing capacity may allocate
their limited capacity to the production requirements of other customers. If we choose to use a new
foundry, it will typically take an extended period of time to complete the qualification process
before we can begin shipping products from the new foundry. The foundries may experience financial
difficulties, be unable to deliver products to us in a timely manner or suffer damage or
destruction to their facilities, particularly since some of them are located in earthquake zones.
If any disruption of manufacturing capacity occurs, we may not have alternative manufacturing
sources immediately available. We may therefore experience difficulties or delays in securing an
adequate supply of our products, which could impair our ability to meet our customers needs and
have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Although we own and operate a test and assembly facility, we still depend on subcontractors to
package, assemble and test certain of our products at cost-competitive rates. We do not have
long-term agreements with any of our assembly or test subcontractors and typically procure services
from these suppliers on a per order basis. If any of these subcontractors experiences capacity
constraints or financial difficulties, suffers any damage to its facilities, experiences power
outages or any other disruption of assembly or testing capacity, we may not be able to obtain
alternative assembly and testing services in a timely manner and/or at cost-competitive rates. Due
to the amount of time that it usually takes us to qualify assemblers and testers, we could
experience significant delays in product shipments if we are required to find alternative
assemblers or testers for our components. Any problems that we may encounter with the delivery,
quality or cost of our products could damage our customer relationships and materially and
adversely affect our results of operations. We are continuing to develop relationships with
additional third-party subcontractors to assemble and test our products. However, even if we use
these new subcontractors, we will continue to be subject to all of the risks described above.
We are dependent upon third parties for the supply of raw materials and components.
Our manufacturing operations depend on obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials and the
components used in our manufacturing processes at a competitive cost. Although we maintain
relationships with suppliers located around the world with the objective of ensuring that we have
adequate sources for the supply of raw materials and components for our manufacturing needs,
increases in demand from the semiconductor industry for such raw materials and components, as well
as increased demand for commodities in general, can result in tighter supplies and higher costs.
Our suppliers may not be able to meet our delivery schedules, we may lose a significant or sole
supplier, a supplier may not be able to meet performance and quality specifications and we may not
be able to purchase such supplies or material at a competitive cost. If a supplier were unable to
meet our delivery schedules or if we lost a supplier or a supplier were unable to meet performance
or quality specifications, our ability to satisfy customer obligations would be materially and
adversely affected. In addition, we review our relationships with suppliers of raw materials and
components for our manufacturing needs on an ongoing basis. In connection with our ongoing review,
we may modify or terminate our relationship with one or more suppliers. We may also enter into
other sole supplier arrangements to meet certain of our raw material or component needs. While we
do not typically rely on a single source of supply for our raw materials, we are currently
dependent on a sole-source supplier for epitaxial wafers used in the gallium arsenide semiconductor
manufacturing processes at our manufacturing facilities. If we were to lose this sole source of
supply, for any reason, a material adverse effect on our business could result until an alternate
source is obtained. To the extent we enter into additional sole supplier arrangements for any of
our raw materials or components, the risks associated with our supply arrangements would be
exacerbated.
Our reliance on a small number of customers for a large portion of our sales could have a material
adverse effect on the results of our operations.
Significant portions of our sales are concentrated among a limited number of customers. If we lost
one or more of these major customers, or if one or more major customers significantly decreased its
orders for our products, our business could be materially and adversely affected. In fiscal year 2010, the Company had three customers, each with greater than ten percent of our net revenues: Samsung, Nokia and Foxconn.
If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel to contribute to the design,
development, manufacture and sale of our products, we may not be able to effectively operate our
business.
17
As the source of our technological and product innovations, our key technical personnel represent a
significant asset. Our success depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate
qualified personnel, including executive officers and other key management and technical personnel.
The competition for management and technical personnel is intense in the semiconductor industry,
and therefore we may not be able to continue to attract and retain the qualified management and
other personnel necessary for the design, development, manufacture and sale of our products. We may
have particular difficulty attracting and retaining key personnel during periods of poor operating
performance and/or declines in the price of our common stock, given among other things, the use of
equity-based compensation by us and our competitors. The loss of the services of one or more of our
key employees or our inability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, could have a
material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business.
Our business would be adversely affected by the departure of existing members of our senior
management team or if our senior management team is unable to effectively implement our strategy.
Our success depends, in large part, on the continued contributions of our senior management team,
none of whom is bound by a written employment contract to remain with us for a specified period.
The loss of any of our senior management could harm our ability to implement our business strategy
and respond to the rapidly changing market conditions in which we operate.
Lengthy product development and sales cycles associated with many of our products may result in
significant expenditures before generating any revenues related to those products.
After our product has been developed, tested and manufactured, our customers may need three to six
months or longer to integrate, test and evaluate our product and an additional three to six months
or more to begin volume production of equipment that incorporates the product. This lengthy cycle
time increases the possibility that a customer may decide to cancel or change product plans, which
could reduce or eliminate our sales to that customer. As a result of this lengthy sales cycle, we
may incur significant research and development expenses, and selling, general and administrative
expenses, before we generate the related revenues for these products. Furthermore, we may never
generate the anticipated revenues from a product after incurring such expenses if our customer
cancels or changes its product plans.
Uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of, and payment for, our products could adversely
affect our business.
Our sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders and not under long-term supply
arrangements with our customers. Our customers may cancel orders before shipment. Additionally, we
sell a portion of our products through distributors, some of whom have rights to return unsold
products if the product is defective. We may purchase and manufacture inventory based on estimates
of customer demand for our products, which is difficult to predict. This difficulty may be
compounded when we sell to OEMs indirectly through distributors or contract manufacturers, or both,
as our forecasts of demand will then be based on estimates provided by multiple parties. In
addition, our customers may change their inventory practices on short notice for any reason. The
cancellation or deferral of product orders, the return of previously sold products, or
overproduction due to a change in anticipated order volumes could result in us holding excess or
obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition.
In addition, if a customer encounters financial difficulties of its own as a result of a change in
demand or for any other reason, the customers ability to make timely payments to us for
non-returnable products could be impaired.
We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, or demands
that we license third-party technology, which could result in significant expense and prevent us
from using our technology.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual
property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert
patent, copyright, trademark and other
18
intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to our business and have demanded
and may in the future demand that we license their technology or refrain from using it.
Any litigation to determine the validity of claims that our products infringe or may infringe
intellectual property rights of another, including claims arising from our contractual
indemnification of our customers, regardless of their merit or resolution, could be costly and
divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. Regardless of the
merits of any specific claim, we may not prevail in litigation because of the complex technical
issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual property litigation. If litigation were to result
in an adverse ruling, we could be required to:
|
|
|
pay substantial damages, |
|
|
|
|
cease the manufacture, import, use, sale or offer for sale of infringing products or processes, |
|
|
|
|
discontinue the use of infringing technology, |
|
|
|
|
expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology, and |
|
|
|
|
license technology from the third party claiming infringement, which license may not be
available on commercially reasonable terms. |
Our operating results or financial condition may be materially adversely affected if we, or one of
our customers, were required to take any one or more of the foregoing actions.
In addition, if another supplier to one of our customers, or a customer of ours itself, were found
to be infringing upon the intellectual property rights of a third party, the supplier or customer
could be ordered to cease the manufacture, import, use, sale or offer for sale of its infringing
product(s) or process(es), either of which could result, indirectly, in a decrease in demand from
our customers for our products. If such a decrease in demand for our products were to occur, it
could have an adverse impact on our operating results.
Many of our products incorporate technology licensed or acquired from third parties. If licenses to
such technology are not available on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business
could be adversely affected.
We sell products in markets that are characterized by rapid technological changes, evolving
industry standards, frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles and increasing
levels of integration. Our ability to keep pace with this market depends on our ability to obtain
technology from third parties on commercially reasonable terms to allow our products to remain
competitive. If licenses to such technology are not available on commercially reasonable terms and
conditions, and we cannot otherwise integrate such technology, our products or our customers
products could become unmarketable or obsolete, and we could lose market share. In such instances,
we could also incur substantial unanticipated costs or scheduling delays to develop substitute
technology to deliver competitive products.
If we are not successful in protecting our intellectual property rights, it may harm our ability to
compete.
We rely on patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws, as well
as nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary
technologies, information, data, devices, algorithms and processes. In addition, we often
incorporate the intellectual property of our customers, suppliers or other third parties into our
designs, and we have obligations with respect to the non-use and non-disclosure of such third-party
intellectual property. In the future, it may be necessary to engage in litigation or like
activities to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to
determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights of others, including our customers. This
could require us to expend significant resources and to divert the efforts and attention of our
management and technical personnel from our business operations. We cannot be assured that:
19
|
|
|
the steps we take to prevent misappropriation, infringement, dilution or other
violation of our intellectual property or the intellectual property of our customers,
suppliers or other third parties will be successful, |
|
|
|
|
any existing or future patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other
intellectual property rights or ours will not be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, or |
|
|
|
|
any of the measures described above would provide meaningful protection. |
Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use
our technology without authorization, develop similar technology independently or design around our
patents. If any of our intellectual property protection mechanisms fails to protect our technology,
it would make it easier for our competitors to offer similar products, potentially resulting in
loss of market share and price erosion. Even if we receive a patent, the patent claims may not be
broad enough to adequately protect our technology. Furthermore, even if we receive patent
protection in the United States, we may not seek, or may not be granted, patent protection in
foreign countries. In addition, effective patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection
may be unavailable or limited for certain technologies and in certain foreign countries.
We attempt to control access to and distribution of our proprietary information through
operational, technological and legal safeguards. Despite our efforts, parties, including former or
current employees, may attempt to copy, disclose or obtain access to our information without our
authorization. Furthermore, attempts by computer hackers to gain unauthorized access to our systems
or information could result in our proprietary information being compromised or interrupt our
operations. While we attempt to prevent such unauthorized access we may be unable to anticipate the
methods used, or be unable to prevent the release of our proprietary information.
We are subject to the risks of doing business internationally.
A substantial majority of our net revenues are derived from customers located outside the United
States, primarily in countries located in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe. In addition, we have
suppliers located outside the United States, and third-party packaging, assembly and test
facilities and foundries located in the Asia-Pacific region. Finally, we have our own packaging,
assembly and test facility in Mexicali, Mexico. Our international sales and operations are subject
to a number of risks inherent in selling and operating abroad. These include, but are not limited
to, risks regarding:
|
|
|
currency exchange rate fluctuations, including changes in commodities prices related to such
fluctuations, |
|
|
|
|
local economic and political conditions, including social, economic and political
instability, |
|
|
|
|
disruptions of capital and trading markets, |
|
|
|
|
inability to collect accounts receivable, |
|
|
|
|
restrictive governmental actions (such as restrictions on transfer of funds and
trade protection measures, including export duties, quotas, customs duties, increased
import or export controls and tariffs), |
|
|
|
|
changes in, or non-compliance with, legal or regulatory import/export requirements, |
|
|
|
|
natural disasters, acts of terrorism, widespread illness and war, |
|
|
|
|
limitations on the repatriation of funds, |
|
|
|
|
difficulty in obtaining distribution and support, |
|
|
|
|
cultural differences in the conduct of business, |
|
|
|
|
the laws and policies of the United States and other countries affecting trade,
foreign investment and loans, and import or export licensing requirements, |
20
|
|
|
changes in current or future tax law or regulations or new interpretations
thereof, by federal or state agencies or foreign governments could adversely affect
our results of operations, |
|
|
|
|
our future results could be adversely affected by changes in the effective tax
rate as a result of our overall profitability and mix of earnings in countries with
differing statutory tax rates and the results of audits and examinations of previously
filed tax returns, |
|
|
|
|
the possibility of being exposed to legal proceedings in a foreign jurisdiction, and |
|
|
|
|
limitations on our ability under local laws to protect or enforce our
intellectual property rights in a particular foreign jurisdiction. |
Additionally, we are subject to risks in certain global markets in which wireless operators provide
subsidies on handset sales to their customers. Increases in cellular handset prices that negatively
impact handset sales can result from changes in regulatory policies or other factors, which could
impact the demand for our products. Limitations or changes in policy on phone subsidies in South
Korea, Japan, China and other countries may have additional negative impacts on our revenues.
We face a risk that capital needed for our business will not be available when we need it.
To the extent that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations are
insufficient to fund our future activities or repay debt when it becomes due, we may need to raise
additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If unfavorable capital market
conditions exist if and when we were to seek additional financing, we may not be able to raise
sufficient capital on favorable terms and on a timely basis (if at all). Failure to obtain capital
when required by our business circumstances would have a material adverse effect on us.
In addition, any strategic investments and acquisitions that we may make to help us grow our
business may require additional capital resources. The capital required to fund these investments
and acquisitions may not be available in the future.
Our leverage and our debt service obligations may adversely affect our cash flow.
On October 1, 2010, we had total indebtedness of approximately $74.7 million, which represented
approximately 5.4% of our total capitalization. As of October 1, 2010, we have short-term debt of
$50.0 million under the credit facility with Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A. (the Credit
Facility). Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility
expired in October 2010 and, given our strong cash position,
management has determined that the Credit Facility is no longer
required and accordingly, has been substantially repaid as of November 29, 2010. Also as of October 1, 2010, we
have long-term debt obligations of $26.7 million in aggregate principal value ($24.7 million
carrying value) that mature in March 2012, which are described in more detail in Note 9 to Item 8
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may require additional financing prior to the maturity of
such debt.
Our indebtedness could have negative consequences, including:
|
|
|
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, |
|
|
|
|
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing, |
|
|
|
|
requiring the dedication of a portion of any cash flow from operations to
service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of cash flow available for other
purposes, |
21
|
|
|
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
business and the industry in which we compete, and |
|
|
|
|
placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage to less leveraged competitors
and competitors that have better access to capital resources. |
Remaining competitive in the semiconductor industry requires transitioning to smaller geometry
process technologies and achieving higher levels of design integration.
In order to remain competitive, we expect to continue to transition our semiconductor products to
increasingly smaller geometries. This transition requires us to modify the manufacturing processes
for our products, design new products to more stringent standards, and to redesign some existing
products. In the past, we have experienced some difficulties migrating to smaller geometry process
technologies or new manufacturing processes, which resulted in sub-optimal manufacturing yields,
delays in product deliveries and increased expenses. We may face similar difficulties, delays and
expenses as we continue to transition our products to smaller geometry processes in the future. In
some instances, we depend on our relationships with our foundries to transition to smaller geometry
processes successfully. Our foundries may not be able to effectively manage the transition or we
may not be able to maintain our foundry relationships. If our foundries or we experience
significant delays in this transition or fail to efficiently implement this transition, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
As smaller geometry processes become more prevalent, we expect to continue to integrate greater
levels of functionality, as well as customer and third party intellectual property, into our
products. However, we may not be able to achieve higher levels of design integration or deliver new
integrated products on a timely basis, or at all.
Increasingly stringent environmental laws, rules and regulations may require us to redesign our
existing products and processes, and could adversely affect our ability to cost-effectively produce
our products.
The electronics industry has been subject to increasing environmental regulations. A number of
domestic and foreign jurisdictions seek to restrict the use of various substances, a number of
which have been or are currently used in our products or processes. For example, the European Union
Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive now
requires that certain substances which may be found in certain products we have manufactured in the
past, be removed from all electronics components. Eliminating such substances from our
manufacturing processes requires the expenditure of additional research and development funds to
seek alternative substances for our products, as well as increased testing by third parties to
ensure the quality of our products and compliance with the RoHS Directive. While we have
implemented a compliance program to ensure our product offering meets these regulations, there may
be instances where alternative substances will not be available or commercially feasible, or may
only be available from a single source, or may be significantly more expensive than their
restricted counterparts. Additionally, if we were found to be non-compliant with any such rule or
regulation, we could be subject to fines, penalties and/or restrictions imposed by government
agencies that could adversely affect our operating results.
We may be liable for penalties under environmental laws, rules and regulations, which could
adversely impact our business.
We have used, and will continue to use, a variety of chemicals and compounds in manufacturing
operations and have been and will continue to be subject to a wide range of environmental
protection regulations in the United States and in foreign countries. Current or future regulation
of the materials necessary for our products may have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Environmental regulations often require parties to
fund remedial action for violations of such regulations regardless of fault. Consequently, it is
often difficult to estimate the future impact of environmental matters, including potential
liabilities. Furthermore, our customers increasingly require warranties or indemnity relating to
compliance with environmental regulations. The amount of expense and capital expenditures that
might be required to satisfy environmental liabilities, to complete remedial actions and to
continue to comply with applicable environmental laws may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our gallium arsenide semiconductors may cease to be competitive with silicon alternatives.
Among our product portfolio, we manufacture and sell gallium arsenide semiconductor devices and
components, principally power amplifiers and switches. The production of gallium arsenide
integrated circuits is more costly than the production of silicon circuits. The cost differential
is due to higher costs of raw materials for gallium arsenide and higher unit costs associated with
smaller sized wafers and lower production volumes. Therefore, to remain competitive, we must offer
gallium arsenide products that provide superior performance over their silicon-based counterparts.
Although we manufacture and sell silicon-based power amplifiers, if we do not continue to offer
GaAs products that provide sufficiently superior performance to justify the cost differential, our
operating results may be materially and adversely affected. We expect the costs of producing
gallium arsenide devices will continue to exceed the costs of producing their silicon counterparts.
Silicon semiconductor technologies are widely used process technologies for certain integrated
circuits and these technologies continue to improve in performance. We may not continue to
identify products and markets that require performance attributes of gallium arsenide solutions.
To be successful we may need to effect investments, alliances and acquisitions, and to integrate
companies we acquire.
Although we have invested in the past, and intend to continue to invest, significant resources in
internal research and development activities, the complexity and rapidity of technological changes
and the significant expense of internal research and development make it impractical for us to
pursue development of all technological solutions on our own. On an ongoing basis, we review
investment, alliance and acquisition prospects that would complement our product offerings, augment
our market coverage or enhance our technological capabilities. We may not be able to identify and
consummate suitable investment, alliance or acquisition transactions in the future. Moreover, if
such transactions are consummated, they could result in:
|
|
|
issuances of equity securities dilutive to our stockholders, |
|
|
|
|
large, one-time write-offs, |
|
|
|
|
the incurrence of substantial debt and assumption of unknown liabilities, |
|
|
|
|
the potential loss of key employees from the acquired company, |
|
|
|
|
amortization expenses related to intangible assets, and |
|
|
|
|
the diversion of managements attention from other business concerns. |
Moreover, integrating acquired organizations and their products and services may be difficult,
expensive, time-consuming and a strain on our resources and our relationship with employees and
customers and ultimately may not be successful. Additionally, in periods following an acquisition,
we will be required to evaluate goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets for impairment.
When such assets are found to be impaired, they will be written down to estimated fair value, with
a charge against earnings.
Certain provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law may make it difficult for
someone to acquire control of us.
We have certain anti-takeover measures that may affect our common stock. Our certificate of
incorporation, our by-laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain several provisions that
would make more difficult an acquisition of control of us in a transaction not approved by our
Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws include provisions such as:
|
|
|
the division of our Board of Directors into three classes to be elected on a
staggered basis, one class each year, |
|
|
|
|
the ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock in one
or more series without further authorization of stockholders, |
23
|
|
|
a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, |
|
|
|
|
elimination of the right of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders, |
|
|
|
|
a requirement that stockholders provide advance notice of any stockholder
nominations of directors or any proposal of new business to be considered at any
meeting of stockholders, |
|
|
|
|
a requirement that the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3 percent
of our shares be obtained to amend or repeal any provision of our by-laws or the
provision of our certificate of incorporation relating to amendments to our by-laws, |
|
|
|
|
a requirement that the affirmative vote of at least 80% of our shares be
obtained to amend or repeal the provisions of our certificate of incorporation relating
to the election and removal of directors, the classified board or the right to act by
written consent, |
|
|
|
|
a requirement that the affirmative vote of at least 80% of our shares be
obtained for business combinations unless approved by a majority of the members of the
Board of Directors and, in the event that the other party to the business combination
is the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our shares, a majority of the members of Board
of Directors in office prior to the time such other party became the beneficial owner
of 5% or more of our shares, |
|
|
|
|
a fair price provision, and |
|
|
|
|
a requirement that the affirmative vote of at least 90% of our shares be
obtained to amend or repeal the fair price provision. |
In addition to the provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides that a corporation may not engage in any
business combination with any interested stockholder during the three-year period following the
time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless a majority of the directors
then in office approves either the business combination or the transaction that results in the
stockholder becoming an interested stockholder or specified stockholder approval requirements are
met.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been, and may in the future be,
instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement,
intellectual property, environmental, product liability, safety and health, employment and
contractual matters.
Additionally, the semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of
intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future
assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are
important to our business and have demanded and may in the future demand that we license their
technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some such
lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally speaking,
intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed against
the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Companys financial condition, or results of
operations. From time to time we are also involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of
business.
We believe that there is no pending litigation involving the Company that will have, individually
or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business.

GENERAL
During fiscal year 2010, certain key factors contributed to our overall results of operations and
cash flows from operations. More specifically:
|
|
|
According to some industry estimates, sales of smart phones and mobile internet devices
are growing four times faster than traditional cellular handsets given consumers appetite
for anytime, anywhere connectivity. We believe that this is the driving force behind the
higher overall demand for our wireless semiconductor products that support mobile internet,
wireless infrastructure, energy management and diversified analog applications. The
increase in the overall market coupled with an increase in our market share are the primary
drivers of the approximately 33.6% or $269.3 million year-over-year revenue growth. |
|
|
|
|
Gross profit increased by $138.6 million or 300 basis points to 42.6% of
net revenue for the fiscal year ending October 1, 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009.
The increase in gross profit in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of net revenue is
primarily the result of continued factory process and productivity enhancements, product
end-to-end yield improvements, year-over-year material cost reductions, targeted capital
expenditure investments, and the aforementioned increase in net revenues. |
|
|
|
|
Operating income increased by $128.0 million or 178.6% over the prior year to
18.6% of revenue for fiscal year 2010. The increase is primarily due to
the aforementioned increases in net revenue and gross margin along with a higher degree of
operating leverage as the Company maintained relatively constant operating expenditures. |
|
|
|
|
We generated $223.0 million in cash from operations during fiscal year 2010
resulting in a cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of $459.4 million at
October 1, 2010. |
|
|
|
|
In fiscal year 2010, we retired $53.0 million in aggregate principal amount
of our 2007 Convertible Notes. These retirements reduced the remaining aggregate
outstanding principal balance on our 2007 Convertible Notes to $26.7 million (carrying
value of $24.7 million) resulting in a net cash position of $384.6 million at October 1,
2010. |

We market and sell our products directly to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of
communication electronic products, third-party Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), contract
manufacturers, and indirectly through electronic components distributors. We periodically enter
into revenue generating arrangements that leverage our broad intellectual property portfolio by
licensing or selling our non-core patents or other intellectual property. We anticipate continuing
this intellectual property strategy in future periods.
Overall revenues in fiscal year 2010 increased by $269.3 million, or 33.6%, from fiscal year 2009.
This revenue increase was principally driven by market share gains and higher overall demand for
our products used in mobile internet, wireless infrastructure, energy management and diversified
analog applications.
Overall revenues in fiscal year 2009 decreased by $57.4 million, or 6.7%, from fiscal year 2008.
This revenue decline was principally due to a reduction in demand in our end markets as a result of
adverse global macroeconomic conditions, in addition to our exit from certain product areas such as
mobile transceivers in the second fiscal quarter of 2009.
For information regarding net revenues by geographic region and customer concentration, see Note 18 of Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Gross profit represents net revenues less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold consists primarily
of purchased materials, labor and overhead (including depreciation and equity based compensation
expense) associated with product manufacturing.
We increased our gross profit by $138.6 million for the fiscal year ending October 1, 2010 as
compared to the prior fiscal year, resulting in a 300 basis point expansion in gross profit margin
to 42.6%. This was principally the result of continued factory process and productivity
enhancements, product end-to-end yield improvements, year-over-year material cost reductions,
targeted capital expenditure investments and the aforementioned increase in net revenue.
During fiscal 2010 we continued to benefit
from higher contribution margins associated with the licensing and/or sale of intellectual property.
We maintained relatively consistent gross profit margins of 39.6% for the fiscal year ended October
2, 2009 as compared to fiscal year 2008 despite a year-over-year decrease in the overall revenue
base between the two fiscal years. This was principally the result of aggressive year-over-year
material cost reductions, yield improvements, leverage of our fixed costs and cost control measures
including capacity management enhanced by the flexibility of our hybrid manufacturing model. Gross
profit in aggregate dollars decreased by $24.7 million between fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year
2008 primarily as the result of the aforementioned $57.4 million decrease in overall revenues. In
fiscal year 2009, we continued to benefit from higher contribution margins associated with the licensing and/or sale of intellectual
property.

Research and development expenses consist principally of direct personnel costs, costs for
pre-production evaluation and testing of new devices, masks and engineering prototypes, equity
based compensation expense and design and test tool costs.
The 8.2% increase in research and development expenses in fiscal year 2010 when compared to fiscal
year 2009 is principally attributable to higher head count and related compensation costs. In
addition, the Company had ramped design activity resulting in higher mask, prototype and materials
costs in support of increased product development for our target markets. Research and development
expenses decreased as a percentage of net revenue for fiscal year 2010 as a result of the
aforementioned increase in net revenue.
The decrease in research and development expenses in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of net
revenues for fiscal year 2009 when compared to fiscal year 2008 was principally attributable to the
restructuring plan implemented on January 22, 2009 in which we exited non-core product areas.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include legal, accounting, treasury, human resources,
information systems, customer service, bad debt expense, sales commissions, share-based compensation expense, advertising, marketing and other costs.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2010 as compared to
fiscal year 2009 is principally due to share-based compensation which
increased primarily as a result of our
increased stock price in fiscal year 2010 as compared to
2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased for
fiscal year 2010, as compared to fiscal year 2009, due to the aforementioned increase in fiscal
year 2010 revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively unchanged for fiscal year 2009 as
compared to fiscal year 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
revenues increased for fiscal year 2009, as compared to fiscal year 2008, mainly due to the
aforementioned decline in fiscal year 2009 revenue.

Restructuring and other charges consist of charges for asset impairments and restructuring
activities.
On January 22, 2009, we implemented a restructuring plan to realign our costs given the business
conditions at the time. We exited our mobile transceiver product area and reduced global headcount
by approximately 4%, or 150 employees which resulted in a reduction to annual operating
expenditures of approximately $20 million. We recorded various charges associated with this action.
In total, we recorded $16.0 million of restructuring and other charges and $3.5 million in
inventory write-downs that were charged to cost of goods sold.
During fiscal year 2010 we recorded a gain of $1.0 million on the sale of a capital asset
previously impaired during the 2009 restructuring.

Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interest expense is comprised principally of interest expense related to the Companys 2007
Convertible Notes which has been calculated under ASC 470-20 Debt, Debt with Conversion and Other
Options.
Interest
expense includes charges in connection with our $50.0 million Credit
Facility between Skyworks USA, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, and
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility expired in October
2010 and, given our strong cash position, management has determined
that the Credit Facility was no longer required and accordingly, has
been substantially repaid as of November 29, 2010.
The decrease in interest expense for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010 as compared to fiscal
year 2009 is primarily due to the decline in interest payments and amortization of discount
associated with the early retirement and settlement of $53.0 million in aggregate principal amount
of our 2007 Convertible Notes.
34
The decrease in interest expense for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2009 as compared to fiscal
year 2008 in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of net revenues is due to the early retirement
of $57.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the Companys 2007 Convertible Notes in fiscal
year 2009.
For additional information regarding our borrowing arrangements, see Note 9 of Item 8 of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Other income, net is comprised primarily of interest income on invested cash balances, other
non-operating income and expense items and foreign exchange gains/losses.
The decreases in other income in both aggregate dollars and as a percentage of net revenues for the
fiscal year ended October 1, 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009 related to an overall decline in
interest income on invested cash balances due to lower rates combined with a net loss on foreign
currency translation.
For the fiscal year ended October 2, 2009 as compared to fiscal year 2008, the overall decline in
interest income on invested cash balances is due to lower interest rates in fiscal year 2009.

The income tax provision for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010 was $57.8 million as compared to
a benefit of $25.2 million in fiscal year 2009.
The annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2010
was 29.6% as compared to a tax benefit of 36.2% for fiscal year 2009.
The income tax provision for fiscal year 2010 consisted of $51.9
million, $5.0 million and $0.9 million for United States tax expense,
reserves for tax uncertainties, and foreign tax expense, respectively.
The fiscal year 2009 benefit
of $25.2 million was primarily due to a $25.4 million reduction in the valuation allowance related
to the utilization and recognition of future tax benefits on United States federal and state net
operating loss and credit carry forwards and other items, and United States income tax benefit of
$1.0 million, offset by increases to reserves for tax
uncertainties of $0.3 million and foreign tax expense of $0.9
million.
The income tax benefit was $25.2 million and $28.8 million for fiscal year 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The fiscal year 2008 benefit of $28.8 million is due to a $36.4 million reduction in
the valuation allowance related to the partial recognition of future tax benefits from United
States federal and state net operating loss and credit carry forwards, offset by United States
income tax expense of $1.2 million, a charge in lieu of tax
expense of $7.0 million, and foreign tax benefit of $0.6 million. The fiscal
year 2008 charge in lieu of tax expense resulted from a partial recognition of certain acquired tax
benefits that were subject to a valuation allowance at the time of acquisition, the realization of
which required a reduction of goodwill.
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, we have determined it is more likely than not that a
portion of our historic and current year income tax benefits will not be realized. Accordingly, as
of October 1, 2010, we have maintained a valuation allowance of $25.6 million of which $24.0
million relates to our United States deferred tax assets (principally related to state research tax
credits), and $1.6 million relates to our foreign operations. If these benefits are recognized in
a future period the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be reversed and up to a $25.2
million income tax benefit, and up to a $0.4 million reduction to goodwill may be recognized.
Our balance of deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, as of October 1, 2010 is $93.0
million. Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating taxable income in the
future. We will continue to evaluate our valuation allowance in future periods and depending upon
the outcome of that assessment, additional amounts could be reversed or recorded and recognized as
a reduction to goodwill or an adjustment to income tax benefit or expense. Such adjustments could
cause our effective income tax rate to vary in future periods. We will need to
36
generate $189.9 million of future United States federal taxable income to utilize our United States
deferred tax assets as of October 1, 2010.
No provision has been made for United States, state, or additional foreign income taxes related to
approximately $52.3 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which have been or
are intended to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the United States
federal income tax liability, if any, which would be payable if such earnings, were not permanently
reinvested.
Our gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $19.9 million and $8.9 million as of October 1, 2010
and October 2, 2009, respectively. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits at October 1, 2010,
$11.4 million would lower the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining unrecognized tax
benefits would not impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, due to our valuation allowance and
certain positions which were required to be capitalized. There are no positions which we anticipate
could change materially within the next twelve months.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities:
Cash provided from operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and
changes in certain assets and liabilities. For fiscal year 2010 we generated $223.0 million in
cash flow from operations, an increase of $4.2 million when compared to the $218.8 million
generated in fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2010, net income increased by $42.3 million to
$137.3 million when compared to fiscal year 2009. Despite the increase in net income, net cash
provided by operating activities remained relatively consistent. This was primarily due to:
|
|
|
Fiscal year 2010 net income included a deferred tax expense of $38.5 million compared to
a $24.9 million deferred tax benefit included in 2009 net income due to the release of the
tax valuation allowance in fiscal year 2009. |
|
|
|
|
During fiscal year 2010, the Company invested in working capital as result of higher
business activity. Compared to fiscal year 2009, accounts receivable, inventory and
accounts payable increased by $60.9 million, $38.8 million and $42.9 million, respectively. |
Cash Flow from Investing Activities:
Cash flow from investing activities consists primarily of capital expenditures and acquisitions.
We had net cash outflows of $95.3 million in fiscal year 2010, compared to $49.5 million in fiscal
year 2009. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $49.8 million in capital expenditures.
We anticipate our capital spending to be consistent in fiscal year 2011 to maintain our projected
growth rate.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities:
Cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of cash transactions related to debt and
equity. During fiscal year 2010, we had net cash outflows of $38.6 million, compared to $30.2
million in fiscal year 2009. During the year we had the following significant transactions:
37
|
|
|
We retired $53.0 million in aggregate principal amount (carrying value of $51.1 million)
of 2007 Convertible Notes for $80.7 million, which included a $29.6 million premium paid
for the equity component of the instrument. |
|
|
|
|
We received net proceeds from employee stock option exercises of $40.5 million
in fiscal year 2010, compared to $38.7 million in fiscal year 2009. |
Liquidity:
Cash and cash equivalent balances increased $89.0 million to $453.3 million at October 1, 2010 from
$364.2 million at October 2, 2009. Our net cash position, after deducting our short and long term
debt, increased by $137.7 million to $378.5 million at October 1, 2010 from $240.8 million at
October 2, 2009. Based on our historical results of operations, we expect our existing sources of
liquidity, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund
our research and development, capital expenditures, debt obligations, working capital and other
cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot be certain that the capital
required to fund these expenses will be available in the future. In addition, any strategic
investments and acquisitions that we may make may require additional capital resources. If we are
unable to obtain sufficient capital to meet our capital needs on a timely basis and on favorable
terms, our business and operations could be materially adversely affected.
Our invested cash balances primarily consist of money market funds and repurchase agreements where
the underlying securities primarily consist of United States treasury obligations, United States
agency obligations, overnight repurchase agreements backed by United States treasuries and/or
United States agency obligations and highly rated commercial paper. Our invested cash balances also
include time deposits and certificates of deposit. At October 1, 2010, we also held a $3.2 million
par value auction rate security. Disruptions in the credit markets have impaired the value of this
security. During the fiscal year ended October 3, 2008, we concluded the fair value of the auction
rate security was $2.3 million, and the carrying value was reduced by $0.9 million. In the fiscal
year ended October 3, 2008, we recorded temporary unrealized losses of approximately $0.9 million
in other comprehensive income and the auction rate security balance was reclassified to non-current
other assets. We continue to monitor the liquidity and accounting classification of this security.
If in a future period we determine that the impairment is other than temporary, we will impair the
security to its fair value and charge the loss to earnings.
On July 15, 2003, we entered into a receivables purchase agreement under which we have agreed to
sell from time to time certain of our accounts receivable to Skyworks
USA, Inc., a
wholly-owned special purpose entity that is fully consolidated for accounting purposes.
Concurrently, Skyworks USA entered into the Credit Facility. Any interest incurred by Skyworks USA
related to monies it borrows under the Credit Facility is recorded as interest expense in the
Companys consolidated results of operations. Interest related to the Credit Facility is at
LIBOR plus 0.75%. As of October 1, 2010, Skyworks USA had borrowed $50.0 million under this
agreement. Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility expired in
October 2010 and, given our strong cash position, management has determined
that the Credit Facility was no longer required and accordingly, has
been substantially repaid as of November 29, 2010.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant contractual obligations not fully recorded on our consolidated balance sheet
or fully disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. We have no material
off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in SEC Regulation S-K- 303(a)(4)(ii).
CONTRACTUAL CASH FLOWS
Following is a summary of our contractual payment obligations for consolidated debt, purchase

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that
are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and which require
our most difficult, complex or subjective judgments or estimates. Based on this definition, we
believe our critical accounting policies include the policies of revenue recognition, allowance for
doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, share-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets,
goodwill and intangibles, and income taxes.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the judgments and estimates underlying all of our accounting
policies. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and
liabilities reported, disclosures, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. These estimates
and assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgment. We evaluate our estimates and
assumptions using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic
environment, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates
and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be
determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes
in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected
in the financial statements in future periods.
Our significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 in Item 8 In this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in
accordance with ASC 605
Revenue Recognition net of
estimated reserves. We
maintain revenue reserves for
product returns and allowances
for price protection / stock
rotation for certain
electronic component
distributors. These reserves
are based on historical
experience or specific
identification of a
contractual arrangement
necessitating a revenue
reserve.
|
|
Our revenue recognition
accounting methodology
contains uncertainties
because it requires
management to make
assumptions and to apply
judgment to estimate the
value of future credits to
customers for product
returns, price protection
and stock rotation. Our
estimates of the amount
and timing of the reserves
is based primarily on
historical experience and
specific contractual
arrangements.
|
|
We have not made any material
changes in our accounting
methodology used to record
revenue reserves during the
last three fiscal years. We
do not believe there is a
reasonable likelihood that
there will be a material
change in the future estimates
or assumptions that would have
a material impact to earnings. |

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We record an allowance for
doubtful accounts for amounts
that we estimate will arise
from customers inability to
make required payments against
amounts owed on credit sales.
The reserve is based on the
analysis of credit risk and
aged receivable balances.
|
|
Our allowance for doubtful
accounts methodology
contains uncertainties
because it requires
management to apply
judgment to evaluate
credit risk and
collectability of aged
accounts receivables based
on historical experience
and forward looking
assumptions.
|
|
During fiscal year 2010 we
modified the process in which
we evaluate customers
creditworthiness when
establishing our allowance.
This did not have a material
effect in our balance. We do
not believe there is a
reasonable likelihood that
there will be a material
change in future estimates or
assumptions that would have a
material impact to earnings. |
|
|
|
|
|
Inventory Valuation
We value our inventory at the
lower of cost of the inventory
or fair market value through
the establishment of excess
and obsolete inventory
reserves. Our reserve is
based on a detailed analysis
of forecasted demand in
relation to on-hand inventory,
salability of our inventory,
general market conditions, and
product life cycles.
|
|
Our inventory reserves
contain uncertainties
because the calculation
requires management to
make assumptions and to
apply judgment regarding
historical experience,
forecasted demand and
technological
obsolescence.
|
|
We have not made any material
changes to our inventory
reserve methodology during the
last three fiscal years. We
do not believe that
significant changes will be
made in future estimates or
assumptions we use to
calculate these reserves.
However, if our estimates are
inaccurate or changes in
technology affect consumer
demand we may be exposed to
unforeseen gains or losses. A
10% difference in our
inventory reserves as of
October 1, 2010 would affect
fiscal year 2010 earnings by
approximately $1.2 million. |
|
|
|
|
|
Stock-Based Compensation
We have a stock-based
compensation plan which
includes non-qualified stock
options, share awards, and an
employee stock purchase plan.
See Note 11 of Item 8 for a detailed
listing and complete
discussion of our stock-based
compensation programs.
We determine the fair value of
our non-qualified stock-based
compensation at the date of
grant using the Black Scholes
options-pricing model. Our
determination of fair value of
share-based payment awards on
the date of grant contains
assumptions regarding a number
of highly complex and
subjective variables. These
variables include, but are not
limited to; our expected stock
price volatility over the term
of the award, risk-free rate,
the expected life and
potential forfeitures of
awards. Management
periodically evaluates these
assumptions and updates stock
based compensation expense
accordingly.
|
|
Option-pricing models and
generally accepted
valuation techniques
require management to make
assumptions and to apply
judgment to determine the
fair value of our awards.
These assumptions and
judgments include
estimating the future
volatility of our stock
price, future employee
turnover rates and future
employee stock option
exercise behaviors.
Changes in these
assumptions can materially
affect the fair value
estimate and stock based
compensation recognized by
the Company.
|
|
We have not made any material
changes in the accounting
methodology we used to
calculate stock-based
compensation during the past
three fiscal years. We do not
believe that there is a
reasonable likelihood there
will be a material change in
future estimates or
assumptions used to determine
stock-based compensation
expense. However, if actual
results are not consistent
with our estimates or
assumptions, we may be exposed
to a material change in
stock-based compensation
expense. A 10% difference in
our stock-based compensation
expense for the year ended
October 1, 2010 would affect
fiscal year 2010 earnings by
approximately $4.1 million. |

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets other than
goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets, which are
separately tested for
impairment, are evaluated for
impairment whenever events or
circumstances arise that may
indicate that the carrying
value of the asset may not be
recoverable. When evaluating
long-lived assets for
potential impairment, we first
compare the carrying value of
the assets to the assets
estimated undiscounted future
cash flows (excluding
interest). If the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows
are less than the carrying
value of the asset or asset
group, we would recognize an
impairment loss, measured as
the amount by which the
carrying value exceeds the
fair value of the asset or
asset group.
|
|
Our impairment loss
calculations contain
uncertainties because they
require management to make
assumptions and to apply
judgment to estimate asset
fair values, including
estimating future cash
flows, useful lives and
selecting an appropriate
discount rate that
reflects the risk inherent
in future cash flows.
|
|
We have not made any material
changes in the accounting
methodology we use to assess
impairment loss during the
past three fiscal years. We
do not believe there is a
reasonable likelihood that
there will be a material
change in the estimates or
assumptions we use to
calculate long-lived asset
impairment losses. However,
if actual results are not
consistent with our estimates
and assumptions used in
estimating future cash flows
and asset fair values, we may
incur material losses. |
|
|
|
|
|
Income Taxes
|
|
|
|
|
We account for income taxes
using the asset and liability
method, under which deferred
tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the expected
future tax consequences of
temporary differences between
tax and financial reporting.
Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using
the currently enacted tax
rates that apply to taxable
income in effect for the years
in which those tax assets are
expected to be realized or
settled. We record a valuation
allowance to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amount that
is believed more likely than
not to be realized.
Significant management
judgment is required in
developing our provision for
income taxes, including the
determination of deferred tax
assets and liabilities and any
valuation allowances that
might be required against the
deferred tax assets. ASC 740
clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprises
financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. ASC 740
prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial
statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return. This
statement also provides
guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in the
interim periods and
disclosure.
|
|
The application of tax
laws and regulations to
calculate our tax
liabilities is subject to
legal and factual
interpretation, judgment,
and uncertainty in a
multitude of
jurisdictions. Tax laws
and regulations themselves
are subject to change as a
result of changes in
fiscal policy, changes in
legislation, the evolution
of regulations, and court
rulings. We recognize
potential liabilities for
anticipated tax audit
issues in the United
States and other tax
jurisdictions based on our
estimate of whether, and
the extent to which,
additional taxes and
interest will be due. We
record an amount as an
estimate of probable
additional income tax
liability at the largest
amount that we feel is
more likely than not,
based upon the technical
merits of the position, to
be sustained upon audit by
the relevant tax
authority. We record a
valuation allowance
against deferred tax
assets that we feel are
more likely than not to
not be realized.
|
|
We have not made any material
changes in the accounting
methodology we used to measure
our deferred tax assets and
liabilities or reserves for
additional income tax
liabilities. If our estimate
of income tax liabilities
proves to be less than the
ultimate assessment, or events
caused us to change our
estimate of probable
additional income tax
liability, a further charge to
expense would be required.
The Company expects to
continue to be profitable and
therefore has determined that
a valuation allowance is not
required against our deferred
tax assets, except for certain
state and foreign tax credits.
If certain events caused us
to change our estimate of the
realizability of our deferred
tax assets and liabilities, a
further charge to expense
would be required. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We evaluate goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible
assets for impairment annually
on the first day of the fiscal
fourth quarter and whenever
events or circumstances arise
that may indicate that the
carrying value of the goodwill
or other intangibles may not
be recoverable. Intangible
assets with indefinite useful
lives comprise an
insignificant portion of the
total book value of our
goodwill and intangible
assets. Pursuant to the
guidance provide under ASC
280-Segment Reporting, we have
determined that we have only
one reporting unit for the
purposes of allocating and
testing goodwill.
The impairment evaluation
involves comparing the fair
value to the carrying value of
the reporting unit. We use
the market price of the
Companys stock adjusted for a
market premium to calculate
the fair value of the
reporting unit. If the fair
value exceeds the carrying
value, then it is concluded
that no goodwill impairment
has occurred. If the carrying
value of the reporting unit
exceeds its fair value, a
second step is required to
measure the possible goodwill
impairment loss.
In the second step, we would
use a discounted cash flow
methodology to determine the
implied fair value of our
goodwill. The implied fair
value of the reporting units
goodwill would then be
compared to the carrying value
of the goodwill. If the
carrying value of the goodwill
exceeds the implied fair value
of the goodwill, we would
recognize a loss equal to the
excess.
|
|
Our impairment analysis
contains uncertainties
because it requires
management to make
assumptions and to apply
judgment to estimate
control premiums, discount
rate, future cash flows
and the profitability of
future business
strategies.
|
|
We have not made any material
changes in the accounting
methodology we use to assess
impairment loss during the
past three fiscal years. The
carrying value of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible
assets at October 1, 2010 were
$485.6 million and $3.3
million, respectively. Based
on the results of our
impairment test, we had a
significant excess fair value
over the carrying value. We
do not believe there is a
reasonable likelihood that
there will be a material
change in the estimates or
assumptions we use to
calculate goodwill and
intangible asset impairment
losses. However, if actual
results are not consistent
with our estimates and
assumptions used in estimating
future cash flows and asset
fair values, we may be exposed
to losses that could be
material. |
OTHER MATTERS
Inflation did not have a material impact upon our results of operations during the three-year
period ended October 1, 2010.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to investment risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk as described
below.
42
Investment and Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate and general market risks relates principally to our investment
portfolio, which as of October 1, 2010 consisted of the following (in thousands):
|
|
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents (time deposits, overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds) |
|
$ |
453,257 |
|
Restricted cash (time deposits and certificates of deposit) |
|
|
6,128 |
|
Available for sale securities (auction rate securities) |
|
|
2,288 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ |
461,673 |
|
|
|
|
|
The main objective of our investment activities is the liquidity and preservation of capital. In
general, our cash and cash equivalent investments have short-term maturity periods which dampen the
impact of significant market or interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with our investments is
not material as our investment policy prescribes high credit quality standards and limits the
amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We currently do not use derivative instruments for
trading, speculative or investment purposes; however, we may use derivatives in the future.
We are subject to overall financial market risks, such as changes in market liquidity,
credit quality and interest rates. Available for sale securities carry a longer maturity period
(contractual maturities exceed ten years).
Our short-term debt consists of borrowings under our Credit Facility of $50.0 million. Interest
related to our borrowings under our Credit Facility is at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 0.75% and
was approximately 1.01% at October 1, 2010. Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility expired
in October 2010 and, given our strong cash position, management has determined that the
Credit Facility was no longer required and accordingly, has been substantially repaid as of November 29, 2010.
Our long-term debt at October 1, 2010 consists of $26.7 million aggregate principal amount our 2007
Convertible Notes. The 2007 Convertible Notes contain cash settlement provisions, which permit the
application of the treasury stock method in determining potential share dilution of the conversion
spread should the share price of the Companys common stock exceed $9.52. It has been the Companys
historical practice to cash settle the principal and interest components of convertible debt
instruments, and it is our intention to continue to do so in the future. These shares have been
included in the computation of fully diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended October
1, 2010.
We do not believe that investment of interest rate risk is material to our business or results of
operations.
Exchange Rate Risk
Substantially all sales to customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for
pricing and payment in United States dollars, thereby reducing the impact of foreign exchange rate
fluctuations on our results. A small percentage of our international operational expenses are
denominated in foreign currencies. Exchange rate volatility could negatively or positively impact
those operating costs. For the fiscal years ended October 1, 2010, October 2, 2009, and October 3,
2008, the Company had foreign exchange gains/(losses) of $(0.6) million, $0.7 million,
and $(0.6) million, respectively. Increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other
currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to
compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could
result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us. Fluctuations in
currency exchange rates could have a greater effect on our business in the future to the extent our
expenses increasingly become denominated in foreign currencies.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Skyworks Solutions, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, cash flows, and stockholders equity and comprehensive income (loss) for each of the
years in the three-year period ended October 1, 2010. In connection with our audit of the
consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule listed in
Item 15 of the 2010 Form 10-K. We also have audited Skyworks Solutions Inc.s internal control over
financial reporting as of October 1, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). Skyworks Solutions, Inc.s management is responsible for these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
and financial statement schedule, and an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial
reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a
material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries
as of October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 1, 2010, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein. Also in our opinion, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 1, 2010, based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, effective October 3, 2009, the
Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 470-20, Debt with
Conversion and Other Options and retrospectively adjusted all periods presented in the consolidated
financial statements referred to above.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the audited
consolidated financial statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
All majority owned subsidiaries are included in the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements and
all intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.
FISCAL YEAR
The Companys fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to September 30. Fiscal years 2010 and 2009
each consisted of 52 weeks and ended on October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively. Fiscal
year 2008 consisted of 53 weeks and ended on October 3, 2008.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon currently
available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues from product sales are recognized upon shipment and transfer of title, in accordance with
the shipping terms specified in the arrangement with the customer. Revenue from license fees and
intellectual property is recognized when due and payable, and all other criteria of ASC 605-Revenue
Recognition, have been met. The Company ships product on consignment to certain customers and only
recognize revenue when the customer notifies us that the inventory has been consumed. Revenue
recognition is deferred in all instances where the earnings process is incomplete. Certain product
sales are made to electronic component distributors under agreements allowing for price protection
and/or a right of return (stock rotation) on unsold products. A reserve for sales returns and
allowances for customers is recorded based on historical experience or specific identification of a
contractual arrangement necessitating a revenue reserve.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The Company maintains general allowances for doubtful accounts for losses that they estimate will
arise from their customers inability to make required payments. These reserves require management
to apply judgment in deriving estimates. As the Company becomes aware of any specific receivables
which may be uncollectable, they perform additional analysis and reserves are recorded if deemed
necessary. Determination of such additional specific reserves require management to make judgments
and estimates pertaining to factors such as a customers credit worthiness, intent and ability to
pay, and overall financial position. If the data the Company uses to calculate the
51
allowance for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding
receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and its results of
operations could be materially affected.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Companys cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash money market funds and repurchase
agreements where the underlying securities primarily consist of United States treasury obligations,
United States agency obligations, overnight repurchase agreements backed by United States
treasuries and/or United States agency obligations and highly rated commercial paper.
INVESTMENTS
The Companys investment is classified as available for sale and consists of an auction rate
security (ARS).
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash is primarily used to collateralize the Companys obligation under
the Credit Facility, which management plans to repay during the first
quarter of fiscal 2011.
For further information regarding the Credit Facility, please see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market.
Each quarter, the Company estimates and establishes reserves for excess, obsolete or unmarketable
inventory. These reserves are generally equal to the historical cost basis of the excess or
obsolete inventory and once recorded are considered permanent adjustments. Calculation of the
reserves requires management to use judgment and make assumptions about forecasted demand in
relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of its product offerings, general market
conditions and product life cycles upon which the reserves are based. When inventory on hand
exceeds foreseeable demand (generally in excess of twelve months), reserves are established for the
value of such inventory that is not expected to be sold at the time of the review.
If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those the Company projects,
additional inventory reserves may be required and its results of operations could be materially
affected. Some or all of the inventories that have been reserved may be retained and made available
for sale; however, they are generally scrapped over time.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. Significant renewals and betterments are
capitalized and equipment taken out of service is written off. Maintenance and repairs, as well as
renewals of a minor amount, are expensed as incurred.
Estimated useful lives used for depreciation purposes are 5 to 30 years for buildings and
improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated
over the lesser of the economic life or the life of the associated lease.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718) which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to
employees and directors including employee stock options, employee stock purchases related to the
Companys 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, restricted stock
and other special share-based awards based
on estimated fair values. The Company
52
adopted ASC 718 using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of
the applicable accounting standard as of October 1, 2005, the first day of the Companys fiscal
year 2006.
The fair value of stock-based awards is amortized over the requisite service period, which is
defined as the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an
award. The Company uses a straight-line attribution method for all grants that
include only a service condition. Due to the existence of both performance and service
conditions, certain restricted stock grants are expensed over the service period for each
separately vesting tranche.
Share-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion
of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Share-based
compensation expense recognized in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
fiscal year ended October 1, 2010 only included share-based payment awards granted subsequent to
September 30, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions
of ASC 718. As share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010 is based on awards ultimately expected to
vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated
at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ
from those estimates.
Upon adoption of ASC 718, the Company elected to retain its method of valuation for share-based
awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Black-Scholes model) which was also
previously used for the Companys pro forma information required under the previous authoritative
literature governing stock compensation expense. The Companys determination of fair value of
share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by the
Companys stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective
variables. These variables include, but are not limited to; the Companys expected stock price
volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise
behaviors. For more complex awards with market-based performance conditions, the Company employs a
Monte Carlo simulation method which calculates many potential outcomes for an award and establishes
fair value based on the most likely outcome.
VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Carrying values for long-lived assets and definite lived intangible assets, which exclude goodwill,
are reviewed for possible impairment as circumstances warrant. Factors considered important that
could result in an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected,
historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of
assets or the Companys business strategy, significant negative industry or economic trends and a
significant decline in its stock price for a sustained period of time. In addition, impairment
reviews are conducted at the judgment of management whenever asset / asset group values are deemed
to be unrecoverable relative to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that
particular asset / asset group. The determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset / asset group and its eventual
disposition. Such estimates require management to exercise judgment and make assumptions regarding
factors such as future revenue streams, operating expenditures, cost allocation and asset
utilization levels, all of which collectively impact future operating performance. The Companys
estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things,
technological changes, economic conditions, changes to its business model or changes in its
operating performance. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than
the carrying value of an asset/asset group, the Company would recognize an impairment loss,
measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset
group.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested at least annually for
impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350).
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives comprise an insignificant portion of the total book
value of the Companys goodwill and intangible assets. The Company assesses the need to test its
goodwill for impairment on a regular basis. Pursuant to the guidance provided under ASC 280-Segment
Reporting (ASC 280), the Company has determined that it has only one reporting unit for the
purposes of allocating and testing goodwill under ASC 350.
53
The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. The first step of the Companys impairment
analysis compares its fair value to its net book value to determine if there is an indicator of
impairment. To determine fair value, ASC 350 allows for the use of several valuation methodologies,
although it states that quoted market prices are the best evidence of fair value and shall be used
as the basis for measuring fair value where available. In the Companys assessment of its fair
value, the Company considers the average market price of its common stock surrounding the selected
testing date, the number of shares of its common stock outstanding during such period and other
marketplace activity and related control premiums. If the calculated fair value is determined to be
less than the book value of the Company, then the Company performs step two of the impairment
analysis. Step two of the analysis compares the implied fair value of the Companys goodwill, to
the book value of its goodwill. If the book value of the Companys goodwill exceeds the implied
fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. In step two of
the Companys annual impairment analysis, the Company primarily uses the income approach
methodology of valuation, which includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally
accepted valuation methodologies, to determine the implied fair value of the Companys goodwill.
Significant management judgment is required in preparing the forecasts of future operating results
that are used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation. Should step two of the impairment
test be required, the estimates management would use would be consistent with the plans and
estimates that the Company uses to manage its business. In addition to testing goodwill for
impairment on an annual basis, factors such as unexpected adverse business conditions,
deterioration of the economic climate, unanticipated technological changes, adverse changes in the
competitive environment, loss of key personnel and acts by governments and courts, are considered
by management and may signal that the Companys intangible assets have become impaired and result
in additional interim impairment testing.
In fiscal year 2010, the Company performed impairment tests of its goodwill as of the first day of
the fourth fiscal quarter in accordance with the Companys regularly scheduled annual testing. The
results of this test indicated that none of the Companys goodwill was impaired based on step one
of the test; accordingly step two of the test was not performed.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Financing costs are capitalized as an asset on the Companys balance sheet and amortized on a
straight-line basis over the life of the financing. If debt is extinguished early, a proportionate
amount of deferred financing costs is charged to earnings.
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. This method also requires the
recognition of future tax benefits such as net operating loss carry forwards, to the extent that
realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The carrying value of the Companys net deferred tax assets assumes the Company will be able to
generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and
assumptions. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be
required to record additional valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets resulting in
additional income tax expense in its consolidated statement of operations. Management evaluates the
realizability of the deferred tax assets and assesses the adequacy of the valuation allowance
quarterly. Likewise, in the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize
its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the
deferred tax assets would increase income or decrease the carrying value of goodwill in the period
such determination was made.
The determination of recording or releasing tax valuation allowances is made, in part, pursuant to
an assessment performed by management regarding the likelihood that the Company will generate
future taxable income against
54
which benefits of its deferred tax assets may or may not be realized. This assessment requires
management to exercise significant judgment and make estimates with respect to its ability to
generate revenues, gross profits, operating income and taxable income in future periods. Amongst
other factors, management must make assumptions regarding overall business and semiconductor
industry conditions, operating efficiencies, the Companys ability to develop products to its
customers specifications, technological change, the competitive environment and changes in
regulatory requirements which may impact its ability to generate taxable income and, in turn,
realize the value of its deferred tax assets. In addition, the current uncertain economic
environment limits the Companys ability to confidently forecast its taxable income. In fiscal
years 2010 and 2009, the Companys estimates of future taxable income were prepared in a manner
consistent with its assessment of various factors, including market and industry conditions,
operating trends, product life cycles and competitive and regulatory environments.
The calculation of the Companys tax liabilities includes addressing uncertainties in the
application of complex tax regulations. With the implementation effective September 29, 2007, ASC
740 (formerly referenced as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with GAAP. ASC 740
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other
tax jurisdictions based on its recognition threshold and measurement attribute of whether it is
more likely than not that the positions the Company has taken in tax filings will be sustained upon
tax audit, and the extent to which, additional taxes would be due. If payment of these amounts
ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits
being recognized in the period in which it is determined the liabilities are no longer necessary.
If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge
to expense would result.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets,
accounts payable, short-term debt and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to short-term
maturities of these assets and liabilities. Fair values of long-term debt and investments are based
on quoted market prices if available, and if not available a fair value is determined through a
discounted cash flow analysis at the date of measurement.
ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
The Company accounts for comprehensive loss in accordance with the provisions of ASC 220 -
Comprehensive Income (ASC 220). ASC 220 is a financial statement presentation standard that
requires the Company to disclose non-owner changes included in equity but not included in net
income or loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss presented in the financial statements consists
of adjustments to the Companys auction rate securities and minimum pension liability as follows

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASC 810
In December 2007, the FASB issued amendments to ASC 810-Consolidation (ASC 810). ASC 810 amends
previously issued authoritative literature to amend accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends
certain of consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of ASC 805. This
statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. The statement was applied prospectively as of the beginning of the
fiscal year. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have an impact on the Companys results of operations
or financial position because the Company does not have any minority interests.
ASC 825
In February 2007, the FASB issued ASC 825-Financial Instruments (ASC 825), including an
amendment of ASC 320-Investments-Debt and Equity Securities (ASC 320), which permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. ASC 825 was effective for the Company beginning on
October 3, 2009. The adoption of ASC 825 did not have a material impact on the Companys results
from operations or financial position.
ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14
In September 2009, the FASB reached a consensus on Accounting Standards Update
(ASU)-2009-13-Revenue Recognition (ASC 605) Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (ASU
2009-13) and ASU 2009-14- Software (ASC 985) Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include
Software Elements (ASU 2009-14). ASU 2009-13 modifies the requirements that must be met for an
entity to recognize revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a multiple-element
arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the requirement
that all undelivered elements must have either: i) Vendor Specific Objective Evidence or VSOE or
ii) third-party evidence, or TPE, before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall
arrangement consideration that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the
absence of VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered
elements in a multiple-element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling
prices of those elements. Overall arrangement consideration will be allocated to each element (both
delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether
those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entitys estimated selling
price. The residual method of allocating arrangement consideration has been eliminated. ASU 2009-14
modifies the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude from its scope tangible products that
contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a products
essential functionality. These new updates are effective for revenue arrangements entered into or
materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that the adoption of these ASUs will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company did not complete any business combinations during its fiscal year ended October 1,
2010.
56
4. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company accounts for its investment in accordance with ASC 320-Investments-Debt and Equity
Securities, and classifies them as available for sale. At October 1, 2010, these securities
consisted of $3.2 million par value in auction rate securities, which are long-term debt
instruments intended to provide liquidity through a Dutch auction process that resets interest
rates each period. The uncertainties in the credit markets have caused the ARS to become illiquid
resulting in failed auctions.
During the fiscal year ended October 3, 2008, the Company performed a comprehensive valuation and
discounted cash flow analysis on the ARS. The Company concluded the value of the ARS was $2.3
million thus the carrying value of these securities was reduced by $0.9 million, reflecting this
change in fair value. The Company assessed the decline in fair value to be temporary and recorded
this reduction in shareholders equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company will
continue to closely monitor the ARS and evaluate the appropriate accounting treatment in each
reporting period. If in a future period the Company determines that the impairment is other than
temporary, the Company will impair the security to its fair value and charge the loss to earnings.
The Company holds no other auction rate securities.
5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
On October 4, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASC 820)
for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The Company adopted ASC 820-10-55,
for non-financial assets and liabilities including intangible assets and reporting units measured
at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment test on October 3, 2009. In accordance
with ASC 820, the Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are
traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
|
|
|
Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted market price for identical
instruments traded in active markets. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Valuation is based on quoted market prices for similar
instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation
techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the
market. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use
significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation
techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar
techniques. |
The Company has cash equivalents classified as Level 1 and has no Level 2 securities. The Companys
ARS, discussed in Note 4, Marketable Securities, is classified as level 3 assets. There have been
no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 assets during the fiscal year ending October 1,
2010. There have been no purchases, sales, issuances or settlements of the marketable securities
classified as Level 3 assets during the fiscal year.

Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Companys non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and other long lived
assets resulting from business combinations are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition
and subsequently re-measured if there is an indicator of impairment. There was no impairment
recognized during the fiscal year ending October 1, 2010.

Goodwill is adjusted as required as a result of the realization of deferred tax assets. The
benefit from the recognition of a portion of these deferred items reduces the carrying value of
goodwill instead of reducing income tax expense. Accordingly, future realization of certain
deferred tax assets will reduce the carrying value of goodwill. For the fiscal year ended
October 2, 2009 goodwill was reduced by $7.2 million. The remaining deferred tax assets that could
reduce goodwill in future periods are $0.4 million as of October 1, 2010.
Annual amortization expense for the next five years related to intangible assets is expected to be

On March 2, 2007, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible
subordinated notes (2007 Convertible Notes). The offering contained two tranches. The first
tranche consisted of $100.0 million of 1.25% convertible subordinated notes due March 2010 (the
1.25% Notes). The second tranche consisted of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50%
convertible subordinated notes due March 2012 (the 1.50% Notes). The Company pays interest in
cash semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year on the 1.50% Notes. The
conversion price of the 1.50% Notes is 105.0696 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes to be
redeemed, which is the equivalent of a conversion price of approximately $9.52 per share, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the conversion date. Holders of the 1.50% Notes may
require the Company to repurchase the 2007 Convertible Notes upon a change in control of the
Company.
These 2007 Convertible Notes contain cash settlement provisions, which permit the application of
the treasury stock method in determining potential share dilution of the conversion spread should
the share price of the Companys common stock exceed $9.52. It has been the Companys historical
practice to cash settle the principal and interest components of convertible debt instruments, and
it is our intention to continue to do so in the future.

On October 3, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 470-20 Debt, Debt with Conversions and Other Options
(ASC 470-20). Our financial statements and the accompanying footnotes for all prior periods
presented have been adjusted to reflect the retrospective adoption of this new accounting
principle. ASC 470-20 requires the issuer of convertible debt instruments with cash settlement
features to separately account for the liability and equity components of the convertible debt
instrument and requires retrospective application to all periods presented in the financial
statements to which it is applicable. ASC 470-20 applies to the Companys 2007 Convertible Notes.
Using a non-convertible borrowing rate of 6.86%, the Company estimated the fair value of the
liability component of the 1.50% Notes to be $77.3 million. As of the issuance date, the difference
between the fair value of the liability component of the 1.50% Notes and the corresponding
aggregate principal amount of such notes, which is equal to the fair value of the equity component
of the 1.50% Notes ($22.7 million), was retrospectively recorded as a debt discount and as an
increase to additional paid-in capital, net of tax. The discount of the liability component of the
1.50% Notes is being amortized over the life of the instrument.
During the fiscal year ending October 1, 2010, the Company redeemed the remaining $32.6 million of
aggregate principal amount of the 1.25% Notes and redeemed $20.4 million of aggregate principal
amount of the 1.50% Notes. The Company paid a cash premium (cash paid less principal amount) of
$15.1 million and $12.4 million on the retirements of the 1.25% and 1.50% Notes, respectively.
After applying ASC 470-20, the Company recorded a total gain on the transaction of approximately
$0.1 million (including commissions and deferred financing).

The remaining unamortized discount on the 1.50% Notes will be amortized over the next seventeen
months. As of October 1, 2010, the if converted value of the remaining 1.50% Notes exceeds the
related principal amount by approximately $31.2 million. As of October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009,
the number of shares of the Companys common stock underlying the then remaining 2007 Convertible
Notes (which at October 2, 2009 included both the 1.25% Notes and the 1.50% Notes) were 2.8 million
and 8.4 million, respectively.

On July 15, 2003, the Company entered into a receivables purchase agreement under which it has
agreed to sell from time to time certain of its accounts receivable to Skyworks USA, Inc.
(Skyworks USA), a wholly-owned special purpose entity that is consolidated for accounting
purposes. Concurrently, Skyworks USA entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
(previously Wachovia Bank, N.A.) providing for a $50.0 million Credit Facility secured by the purchased accounts receivable. As a part of the consolidation, any
interest incurred by Skyworks USA related to monies it borrows under
the Credit Facility is
recorded as interest expense in the Companys results of operations. The Company performs
collections and administrative functions on behalf of Skyworks USA. The Company extended the
Credit Facility effective on July 9, 2010 for an additional term of three months.
Interest related to the Credit Facility is at LIBOR plus 0.75% and was approximately 1.01% at
October 1, 2010. As of October 1, 2010, Skyworks USA had borrowed $50.0 million under this
agreement. Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility expired in
October 2010 and, given our strong cash position, management has determined that the
Credit Facility was no longer required and accordingly, has been substantially repaid as of November 29, 2010.

During
fiscal year 2010, the Company restructured its international
operations resulting in a tax benefit of $3.5 million. This consisted of a tax benefit of $6.3 million due to reassessing the United States income tax
required to be recorded on earnings of our operations in Mexico,
offset by $2.8 million of tax provision related to the transfer of
assets to an affiliated foreign company. As a result of this
restructuring, the Company is no longer required to assess United
States income tax on the earnings of its Mexican business.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities consist of the tax effects of temporary differences

In accordance with GAAP, management has determined that it is more likely than not that a
portion of its historic and current year income tax benefits will not be realized. As of October 1,
2010, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $25.6 million,
principally related to state research tax credits. If these benefits are recognized in a future
period the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be reversed and up to a $25.2 million
income tax benefit, and up to a $0.4 million reduction to goodwill may be recognized. During
fiscal year 2010, the Company recognized a net decrease in its valuation allowance of $1.0 million.
The change in the valuation allowance resulted in a tax expense of
$2.8 million and an increase to additional paid-in capital of $3.8
million.
The Company will need to generate $189.9 million of future United States federal taxable income to
utilize our United States deferred tax assets as of October 1, 2010.
Based on the Companys evaluation of the realizability of its United States net deferred tax assets
and other future deductible items through the generation of future taxable income, $38.6 million of
the Companys valuation allowance was reversed at October 2, 2009. The amount reversed consisted of
$25.4 million recognized as income tax benefit, and $13.2 million recognized as a reduction to
goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for foreign operations when management believes it is more
likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be recovered during the carry forward period. The
Company will continue to assess its valuation allowance in future periods.
As of October 1, 2010, the Company has United States federal net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $17.7 million, which will expire at various dates through 2029 and aggregate state
net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1.4 million, which will expire at various dates
through 2019. The utilization of these net operating losses is subject to certain annual
limitations as required under Internal Revenue Code section 382 and similar state income tax
provisions. The Company also has United States federal and state income tax credit carry forwards
of approximately $75.3 million, of which $9.9 million of federal income tax credit carry forwards
have not been recorded as a deferred tax asset. The United States federal tax credits expire at
various dates through 2030. The state tax credits relate primarily to California research tax
credits which can be carried forward indefinitely.
The Company has continued to expand its operations and increase its investments in numerous
international jurisdictions. These activities will increase the Companys earnings attributable to
foreign jurisdictions. As of October 1, 2010, no provision has been made for United States
federal, state, or additional foreign income taxes related to approximately $52.3 million of
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which have been or are
intended to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the United States federal
income tax liability, if any, which would be payable if such earnings, were not permanently
reinvested.
64
The Companys gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $19.9 million and $8.9 million as of
October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively. Included in the $19.9 million is $11.4 million
which would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits
would not impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, due to the Companys valuation allowance
and certain positions which were required to be capitalized. There are no positions which the
Company anticipates could change within the next twelve months.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as

The Companys major tax jurisdictions as of October 1, 2010 are the United States, California, and
Iowa. For the United States, the Company has open tax years dating back to fiscal year 1998 due to
the carry forward of tax attributes. For California and Iowa, the Company has open tax years dating
back to fiscal year 2002 due to the carry forward of tax attributes.
During the year ended October 1, 2010, $0.6 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits related
to the expiration of the statute of limitations period were recognized. The Companys policy is to
recognize accrued interest and penalties, if incurred, on any unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense. The Company did not incur any significant accrued interest or
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits during fiscal year 2010.
11. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue (1) 525,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.25 per

declared and set aside. In the event of the Companys liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the
holders of common stock will be entitled to share pro rata in the assets remaining after payment to
creditors and after payment of the liquidation preference plus any unpaid dividends to holders of
any outstanding preferred stock.
Each holder of the Companys common stock is entitled to one vote for each such share outstanding
in the holders name. No holder of common stock is entitled to cumulate votes in voting for
directors. The Companys second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that,
unless otherwise determined by the Companys Board of Directors, no holder of common stock has any
preemptive right to purchase or subscribe for any stock of any class which the Company may issue or
sell.
On August 3, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, pursuant
to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $200 million of the Companys common stock
from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as permitted by
securities laws and other legal requirements. The Company had not repurchased any shares under the
program for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010. As of November 29, 2010, the Company had
repurchased 786,400 shares of common stock for approximately $18.2
million. These shares were not
retired and are currently being held in our Treasury Stock.
At October 1, 2010, the Company had 185,683,236 shares of common stock issued and 180,263,009
shares outstanding.

up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and with rights and preferences
that may be fixed or designated by the Companys Board of Directors without any further action by
the Companys stockholders. The designation, powers, preferences, rights and qualifications,
limitations and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series will be fixed by the certificate
of designation relating to such series, which will specify the terms of the preferred stock. At
October 1, 2010, the Company had no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

66
Non-Vested Restricted Stock Awards with Service and Market Conditions
The Company granted 576,688 shares of restricted stock during fiscal year ended October 3,
2008 with service and market conditions on vesting. The remaining portion of these grants were fully vested and expensed
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Non-Vested Restricted Stock Awards with Service Conditions
The Companys share-based compensation plans provide for awards of restricted shares of common
stock and other stock-based incentive awards to employees and directors. Restricted
stock awards are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates during the prescribed retention
period.
For the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted stock
that vest in varying amounts over a three-year period. The remaining unrecognized compensation
expense on restricted stock with service conditions outstanding at October 1, 2010 was $1.6
million, and the weighted average period over which the cost is expected to be recognized is 2.9
years.
For the fiscal year ended October 2, 2009 the Company granted 47,500 shares of restricted stock
that vest in varying amounts over a four-year period. The remaining unrecognized compensation
expense on restricted stock with service conditions outstanding at October 1, 2010 was $0.1
million, and the weighted average period over which the cost is expected to be recognized is 1.5
years.
For the fiscal year ended October 3, 2008 the Company granted 50,000 shares of restricted stock
that vest in varying amounts over a four-year period. The remaining unrecognized compensation
expense on restricted stock with service conditions outstanding at October 1, 2010 was $0.1

In addition, during each of the fiscal years ended October 1, 2010, October 2, 2009, and October 3,
2008, under the 2008 Director Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company issued a total of 100,000
restricted stock awards to Directors with a three-year graded vesting. The remaining unrecognized
compensation expense on restricted stock with service conditions outstanding at October 1, 2010 was
$1.8 million. The weighted average period over which the cost is expected to be recognized is
approximately 1.9 years.
Performance Share Awards with Milestone-Based Performance Conditions
The Company granted 219,000, 56,000, and 160,500 performance awards with milestone-based performance
conditions to non-executives during the fiscal years ended October 1, 2010, October 2, 2009, and
October 3, 2008, respectively. The performance awards will convert to common stock at such time that
the performance conditions are deemed to be achieved. The performance awards will be expensed over
implicit performance periods ranging from 6-40 months. The Company will utilize both quantitative
and qualitative criteria to judge whether the milestones are probable of achievement. If the
milestones are deemed to be not probable of achievement, no expense will be recognized until such
time as they become probable of achievement. If a milestone is initially deemed probable of
achievement and subsequent to that date it is deemed to be not probable of achievement, the Company
will discontinue recording expense on the awards. If the milestone is deemed to be improbable of
achievement, any expense recorded on those performance awards will be reversed. As of the fiscal
year ended October 1, 2010, October 2, 2009, and October 3, 2008, the fair value of the performance
awards at the date of grant were $3.5 million, $0.6 million, and $1.4 million, respectively. The
Company issued 24,331 shares, 30,419 shares, and 100,466 shares in fiscal year 2010, 2009, and
fiscal year 2008, respectively as a result of milestone achievement. In addition, certain other
milestones were deemed to be probable of achievement thus, the Company recorded total compensation
expense of $1.2 million, $(0.1) million, and $1.2 million, and in the fiscal years ended October
1, 2010, October 2, 2009, and October 3, 2008, respectively.
2007 Executive Performance Share Awards
The Company awarded 725,000 performance shares based on future stock price appreciation to
executives during the fiscal year ended October 3, 2008. On June 10, 2009, the 2007 Executive
Performance Share Award was
67
modified. The awards under this plan were forfeited by the executives and replaced with the 2009
Executive Restricted Stock and Performance Share Awards as described below.
2009 Executive Restricted Stock and Performance Share Awards
On June 4, 2009, the Company gave its executives the opportunity to forfeit the aforementioned
performance shares that were originally granted on November 6, 2007 and the executives received in its place a
modified award with both a restricted stock and performance share component.
On June 10, 2009, the Company modified the November 6, 2007 performance shares by issuing 337,500
restricted stock awards based on a service condition: The restricted shares would cliff vest on
November 6, 2010 provided the executive continued employment with the Company through such date. At
November 6, 2010 the service condition was met and the Company released 337,500 shares to the
executives.
Under the performance share award component of the plan, the executives would earn up to 675,000
additional shares based on a comparison of (x) the change in Skyworks common stock price to (y)
the change in the price of the common stock of companies in a peer group over a three year period.
The change in price of both the Companys common stock price and each peer companys common stock
was determined by comparing its average stock price for the 90 day period beginning November 6,
2007 to its average stock price for the 90 day period ending November 6, 2010. If the percentage
change in Skyworks stock price exceeded the 70th percentile of the peer group, then the target
metrics under the award would be deemed to have been met and all of the shares would have been
earned. The Company determined that the Companys relative stock price, measured as described
above, did exceed the 70th percentile of the peer group selected by the Companys
compensation committee as of November 6, 2010. As a result, under the terms of the plan, the
shares were earned and the executives were entitled to receive the shares in two tranches (50% on
November 6, 2010 and 50% on November 6, 2011 should the executive continue employment with the
Company through such dates). The Company released 337,500 shares to the executives. The Company
recorded compensation expense of $3.2 million, $2.4 million, and $2.3 million, and in the fiscal
years ended October 1, 2010, October 2, 2009, and October 3, 2008, respectively. The remaining
unrecognized compensation expense on these performance share awards at October 1, 2010 was $0.8
million.
2010 Operating Margin Performance Share Awards
The Company awarded 0.9 million performance shares to executives and key employees based on
operating margin performance for fiscal year 2010. The fair value of these shares at target on the
grant date was $10.3 million. Each participant had the ability to earn minimum (50% of target),
target, stretch, or maximum (200% of target), depending on performance as publicly announced by the
Company following the fiscal year end. Upon achievement of the performance target, the participants
would earn the corresponding number of shares issued as follows: One-third on the initial issuance
date anniversary of November 10, 2010 and one-third on each of the second and third anniversary of
the initial issuance date, providing the employee was actively employed. On November 10, 2010,
performance was met at the maximum level and 1.7 million performance shares were issued to
executives and key employees. For the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010, the Company recorded
compensation expense of $10.7 million. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense on these
performance share awards at October 1, 2010 was $9.6 million.
2009 Operating Margin Performance Share Awards
The Company awarded 0.8 million performance shares to executives and key employees based on
operating margin performance for fiscal year 2009. Each participant had the ability to earn
Minimum (50% of Target), Target, Stretch, or Maximum (200% of Target), depending on performance as
publicly announced by the Company following the fiscal year end. Upon achievement of the
performance target, the participants will earn the corresponding number of shares issued as
follows: One-third on the initial issuance date anniversary of November 4, 2009 and one-third on
each of the second and third anniversary of the initial issuance date, providing the employee is
actively employed. As of November 4, 2009, performance was met
at the maximum level. The Companys performance
earned 1.5 million shares, two-thirds of which have been released to the executives and key employees as of November 4, 2010 and
one-third of which is to be released on the third anniversary assuming the employee is still actively employed. As of the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010, the fair value of the performance awards at
the date of grant was $13.3 million. At October 1, 2010, the Company had recorded total
compensation expense of $7.0 million.

In May 2010, 120,824 shares were issued to certain key employees for the first half of
fiscal year 2010 based on the Company exceeding its target metrics under the Fiscal Year 2010
Management Incentive Plan. The Company recorded $4.8 million in expense related to the
Fiscal Year 2010 Management Incentive Plan during the fiscal year. The expenses associated with
the 2009 Management Incentive Plan were expensed during fiscal year 2009.
Share-Based Compensation Plans for Directors
The Company has three share-based compensation plans under which options and restricted stock have
been granted for non-employee directors the 1994 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, the Directors
2001 Stock Option Plan, and the 2008 Directors Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under the three plans, a
total of 1.9 million shares have been authorized for option grants. Under the current 2008
Directors Long-Term Incentive Plan, a total of 0.3 million shares are available for new grants as
of October 1, 2010. The 2008 Directors Long-Term Incentive Plan is structured to provide options
and restricted common stock to non-employee directors as follows: a new director receives a total
of 25,000 options and 12,500 shares of restricted common stock upon becoming a member of the Board;
and continuing directors receive 12,500 shares of restricted common stock after each Annual Meeting
of Stockholders. Under this plan, the option price is the fair market value at the time the option
is granted. All options granted are exercisable at 25% per year beginning one year from the date
of grant. The maximum contractual term of the director awards is 10 years. As of October 1,
2010, a total of 0.7 million options at a weighted average exercise price of $10.41 per share were
outstanding under these four plans, and 0.7 million options were exercisable at a weighted average
exercise price of $10.62 per share. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense on director
stock options at October 1, 2010 was $0.1 million and the weighted average period over which the
cost is expected to be recognized is approximately 0.5 years. There were 121,500, 105,000, and
60,000 options exercised under these plans during the fiscal years ended October 1, 2010, October
2, 2009, and October 3, 2008, respectively. The above-mentioned activity for the share-based
compensation plans for directors is included in the option tables below.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company maintains a domestic and an international employee stock purchase plan. Under these
plans, eligible employees may purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of
compensation. The price per share is the lower of 85% of the market price at the beginning or end
of each offering period (generally six months). The plans provide for purchases by employees of up
to an aggregate of 8.1 million shares through December 31, 2012. Shares of common stock purchased
under these plans in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008 were 640,341, 1,058,736, and 790,556,
respectively. At October 1, 2010, there are 1.0 million shares available for purchase. The Company
recognized compensation expense of $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010 and $1.6
million for both the fiscal years ended October 2, 2009 and October 3, 2008.

The Company used an arithmetic average of historical volatility and implied volatility to calculate
its expected volatility during the year ended October 1, 2010. Historical volatility was determined
by calculating the mean reversion of the weekly-adjusted closing stock price over the 7.40 years
between June 25, 2002 and November 10, 2009. The implied volatility was calculated by analyzing the
52-week minimum and maximum prices of publicly traded call options on the Companys common stock.
The Company concluded that an arithmetic average of these two calculations provided for the most
reasonable estimate of expected volatility under the guidance of ASC 718.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed Treasury bill interest rates (risk
free) appropriate for the expected life of the Companys employee stock options.
The expected life of employee stock options represents a calculation based upon the historical
exercise, cancellation and forfeiture experience for the Company over the 7.25 years between June
25, 2002 and October 2, 2009. The Company determined that it had two populations with unique
exercise behavior. These populations included stock options with a contractual life of 7 years and
10 years, respectively.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN, PENSIONS AND OTHER RETIREE BENEFITS
The Company maintains the following pension and retiree benefit plans:
|
|
|
401(k) plan covering substantially all employees based in the United States |
|

|
|
Pre-merger defined benefit pension and retiree health plans covering certain former employees |
401(k) Plan:
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan covering substantially all of its employees based in the United
States under which all employees at least 21 years old are eligible to receive discretionary
Company contributions. Discretionary Company contributions are determined by the Board of Directors
and may be in the form of cash or the Companys stock. The Company has generally contributed a
match of up to 4.0% of an employees annual eligible compensation. For the fiscal years ended
October 1, 2010, October 2, 2009, and October 3, 2008, the Company contributed shares of 0.3
million, 0.7 million, and 0.6 million, respectively, and recognized expense of $4.8 million, $4.6
million, and $5.0 million, respectively.

In addition, the Company has entered into licensing agreements for intellectual property rights and
maintenance and support services. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Company is
committed to making aggregate payments of $4.1 million, $3.0 million, and $0.7 million in fiscal
years 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively.
14. CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, various lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been, and may in the future be,
instituted or asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to patent infringement,
intellectual property, environmental, product liability, safety and health, employment and
contractual matters.
Additionally, the semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of
intellectual property rights. From time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future
assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to technologies that are
important to the Companys business and have demanded and may in the future demand that the Company
license their technology. The outcome of any such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and
some such lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. Generally
speaking, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief, which, if imposed
against the Company, could materially and adversely affect the Companys financial condition, or
results of operations. From time to time the Company is also involved in legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of business.
The Company believes that there is no litigation pending that will have, individually or in the
aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business.
73
15. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNITIES
The Company has made no contractual guarantees for the benefit of third parties. However, the
Company generally indemnifies its customers from third-party intellectual property infringement
litigation claims related to its products, and, on occasion, also provides other indemnities
related to product sales. In connection with certain facility leases, the Company has indemnified
its lessors for certain claims arising from the facility or the lease.
The Company indemnifies its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws
of the state of Delaware. The duration of the indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite.
The indemnities to customers in connection with product sales generally are subject to limits based
upon the amount of the related product sales and in many cases are subject to geographic and other
restrictions. In certain instances, the Companys indemnities do not provide for any limitation of
the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not
recorded any liability for these indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and
does not expect that such obligations will have a material adverse impact on its financial
condition or results of operations.

2009 RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND OTHER
On January 22, 2009, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to realign its costs given
current business conditions.
The Company exited its mobile transceiver product area and reduced global headcount by
approximately 4%, or 150 employees which resulted in a reduction to annual operating expenditures
of approximately $20 million. The Company recorded various charges associated with this action. In
total, they recorded $16.0 million of restructuring and other charges and $3.5 million in inventory
write-downs that were charged to cost of goods sold.
The $16.0 million charge includes the following: $4.5 million related to severance and benefits,
$5.6 million related to the impairment of certain long-lived assets which were written down to
their salvage values, $2.1 million related to the exit of certain operating leases, $2.3 million
related to the impairment of technology licenses and design software, and $1.5 million related to
other charges. These charges total $16.0 million and are recorded in restructuring and other
charges.
The Company made cash payments related to the restructuring plan of $1.5 million during fiscal year
2010 and recorded a gain of $1.0 million on the sale of a capital asset previously impaired during
the 2009 restructuring.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of equity based
awards and the 2007 Convertible Notes using the treasury stock method.
Equity based awards exercisable for approximately 4.6 million shares, 16.5 million shares and 23.0
million shares were outstanding but not included in the computation of earnings per share for the
fiscal year ended October 1, 2010, October 2, 2009 and October 3, 2008, respectively, as their
effect would have been anti-dilutive.
In addition, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible
subordinated notes in March 2007. These 2007 Convertible Notes contain
cash settlement provisions, which permit the application of the treasury stock method in
determining potential share dilution of the conversion spread should the share price of the
Companys common stock exceed $9.52. It has been the Companys historical practice to cash settle
the principal and interest components of convertible debt instruments, and it is the Companys
intention to continue to do so in the future. The convertible debt was anti-dilutive for the
fiscal year ended October 3, 2008 and therefore was not included in the calculation of diluted
earnings per share.
18. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS
In accordance with ASC 280-Segment Reporting (ASC 280), the Company has one reportable operating
segment which designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary semiconductor products,
including intellectual property. ASC 280 establishes standards for the way public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and in
interim reports to shareholders. The method for determining what information to report is based on
managements use of financial information for the purposes of assessing
performance and making operating decisions. In evaluating financial performance and making
operating decisions, management primarily uses consolidated net revenue, gross profit, operating
profit and earnings per share. The
75
Companys business units share similar economic
characteristics, long term business models, research and development expenses and selling, general
and administrative expenses. Furthermore, the Companys chief decision makers base operating
decision on consolidated financial information. The Company has concluded at October 1, 2010 that
it has only one reportable operating segment. The Company will re-assess its conclusions at least
annually.

The Companys revenues by geography do not necessarily correlate to end market demand by
region. For example, if the Company sells a power amplifier module to a customer in South Korea,
the sale is recorded within the South Korea account although that customer, in turn, may integrate
that module into a product sold to an end customer in a different geography.

number of shares outstanding and included common stock equivalents in each period. Therefore,
the sums of the quarters do not necessarily equal the full year earnings per share. |

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company implemented a restructuring plan
to reduce global headcount by approximately 4%, or 150 employees. The total charges related
to the plan were $19.4 million. Due to accounting classifications, the charges associated
with the plan are recorded in various lines and are summarized as follows: Cost of goods sold
adjustments include approximately $3.5 million of inventory write-downs. Restructuring and
other charges primarily consisted of $4.5 million related to severance and benefits, $5.6
million related to the impairment of long-lived assets, $2.0 million related to lease
obligations, $2.3 million related to the impairment of technology licenses and design software
and $1.5 million related to other charges. |

Effective October 3, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 470-20- Debt, Debt with Conversion and
Other Options (ASC 470-20) in accordance with GAAP. The Companys financial statements and
the accompanying footnotes for all prior periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the
retrospective adoption of this new accounting principle. |

ITEM 9A. |
|
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 1, 2010. The
term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
companys management,
77
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their
objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on managements evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of October 1, 2010, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2010 that have
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control
over financial reporting.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a
process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Companys principal executive and principal
financial officers and effected by the Companys board of directors, management and other
personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
|
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect
on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Companys management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of October 1, 2010. In making this assessment, the Companys management
used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on their assessment, management concluded that, as of October 1, 2010, the Companys internal
control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Companys independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit report on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on
page 45.

Item 5.02 |
|
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On November 23, 2010, the Company amended and restated the Change of Control / Severance Agreement
of Mr. David J. Aldrich, the Companys Chief Executive Officer (the Agreement). Specifically,
the Agreement was amended as follows: (1) the initial term of the Agreement was extended for three
(3) years until January 22, 2014, at which time the Agreement will become renewable on an annual
basis by mutual agreement of the parties for up to five (5) additional one year periods; and (2) in
order to ensure that Performance Share Awards (PSAs) issued to Mr. Aldrich continue to be treated
as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Agreement
was amended to clarify that if Mr. Aldrich is involuntarily terminated, terminates his employment
for good reason or for no reason, he is entitled to receive only the number of performance shares
under outstanding PSAs that he would have received had he actually remained employed through the
end of the performance period applicable to such PSAs. All other terms and conditions of the
Agreement remain the same.
