Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This report and other documents we have filed with the SEC contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact should be considered to be forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “continue”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “potential”, “predicts”, “projects”, “seek”, “should”, “targets”, “will”, “would”, and similar expressions or variations or negatives of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements in this report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters such as our expectations and statements regarding the transaction with Qorvo, the possible impacts of geopolitical conflicts, tariffs, export controls, inflation, recession, and global health crises, as well as the development of new products, enhancements of technologies, sales levels, expense levels, the benefits of acquisitions we have made or may make in the future, and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Although forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management as of the date the statement is first made, such statements can only be based on facts and factors then known and understood by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual financial results and outcomes may differ materially and adversely from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual financial results to differ materially and adversely from those in the forward-looking statements. We urge you to consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in the 2025 10-K, under the heading “Risk Factors” and in the other documents filed by us with the SEC in evaluating our forward-looking statements. We have no plans, and undertake no obligation, to revise or update our forward-looking statements to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of the initial filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

In this document, the words “we”, “our”, “ours”, “us”, “Skyworks”, and “the Company” refer only to Skyworks Solutions, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries and not any other person or entity.

OVERVIEW

We, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, are a leading developer, manufacturer and provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and solutions for numerous applications, including aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, defense, entertainment and gaming, industrial, medical, smartphone, tablet, and wearables.

Pending Transaction With Qorvo

On October 27, 2025, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Qorvo, a provider of connectivity and power solutions, to combine Qorvo and Skyworks in a cash-and-stock transaction that values the combined company at approximately $22.0 billion as of the market close on October 27, 2025.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Mergers, each share of Qorvo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto (with certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive 0.960 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of Skyworks common stock and $32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Exchange Ratio is expected to result in Qorvo equityholders and Skyworks equityholders owning approximately 37% and 63%, respectively, of the combined company on a pro forma basis following the closing. The Merger Agreement also provides for Skyworks’ assumption of certain Qorvo equity awards, subject to certain adjustments thereto in respect of, among other things, performance-based vesting conditions.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately following the closing, the Board of Directors will be comprised of 11 directors, consisting of (i) the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks, who will be the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks following the closing, (ii) seven directors designated by Skyworks and (iii) three directors designated by Qorvo who are reasonably acceptable to Skyworks, each of whom will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders of Skyworks. Promptly following the closing, the Board of Directors will also designate a Chairman. Robert Bruggeworth, Qorvo’s current President, Chief Executive Officer and director, will be one of Qorvo’s designees upon the closing.

The Mergers, which we are increasingly hopeful will close within the calendar year, are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by Qorvo’s stockholders and the approval by Skyworks’ stockholders of the issuance of Skyworks common stock included in the consideration to be paid to Qorvo stockholders, the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, and other regulatory approvals under

Table of Contents

certain antitrust and foreign investment regimes, and the absence of any order, injunction or law of such jurisdictions prohibiting the Mergers. There can be no assurances that the closing will occur on this timeline.

Each of Skyworks’ special meeting of stockholders and Qorvo’s special meeting of stockholders were held virtually on February 11, 2026 at 11:30 AM, Pacific Time, and the stockholders of each respective company approved the ballot measures at each of their respective special meetings.

On February 5, 2026, Skyworks and Qorvo each received a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (the “Second Request”) from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) in connection with the transaction. The Second Request was issued under notification requirements of the HSR Act. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after Skyworks and Qorvo have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless that period is voluntarily extended by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. Each party has certified substantial compliance with the Second Request, and the parties are working cooperatively with FTC staff to conclude the investigation.

We and Qorvo each have termination rights under the Merger Agreement. Under specified circumstances, including termination by a party to accept a superior proposal or termination by the other party upon a change in such party’s board of directors’ recommendation to its stockholders, each of us and Qorvo will be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $298.7 million, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement. Alternatively, under certain specified circumstances, including termination following an injunction arising in connection with certain antitrust or foreign investment laws, or failure to receive certain required regulatory approvals of specified governmental authorities, we will be required to pay Qorvo a termination fee of $100.0 million, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into the Bridge Commitment Letter on October 27, 2025, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, which committed to provide, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, up to $3,050.0 million of senior unsecured bridge term loans for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash portion of the consideration to be paid to Qorvo stockholders, paying related fees and expenses in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, in certain circumstances, to refinance certain of Qorvo’s senior notes. Depending on market conditions, we anticipate raising financing for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in advance of any expected closing, including to partially pay the cash portion of the consideration to be paid to Qorvo stockholders and to pay fees and expenses. The receipt of financing by us is not a condition to our obligation to consummate the Mergers.

Pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Commitment Letter, $1,550.0 million of the senior unsecured bridge term loans had been specifically designated to represent the principal amount of the Qorvo Notes Tranche, and if a ratings decline (as defined in the applicable Qorvo indenture as in effect on the date of the commitment letter) did not occur on or prior to December 27, 2025 (which date would be extended so long as the rating of any series of Qorvo’s outstanding senior notes was under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade), then the aggregate commitments in respect of the Qorvo Notes Tranche under the Bridge Commitment Letter would be automatically permanently reduced dollar-for-dollar by the aggregate principal amount of Qorvo’s senior notes. On December 28, 2025, Goldman Sachs Bank USA notified the Company that there was no such ratings decline, no rating as to any series of Qorvo’s outstanding senior notes was under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade, and therefore the Qorvo Notes Tranche had been permanently reduced to $0.00. As a result, as of July 3, 2026, Goldman Sachs Bank USA has committed to provide up to $1,500.0 million of senior unsecured bridge term loans.

On May 20, 2026, we commenced exchange offers to exchange each series of the Qorvo Notes Tranche notes for new senior notes of the Company. In connection with the exchange offers, we also commenced the solicitation of consents for proposed amendments to the applicable indenture governing each series of the Qorvo Notes Tranche notes. Pursuant to the exchange offers, holders may exchange their Qorvo Notes Tranche notes for newly issued Skyworks senior notes having substantially similar terms. The exchange offers and related consent solicitations are conditioned upon, and expected to be settled following, the consummation of the Mergers. As of June 11, 2026, h

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially and adversely from those referred to herein due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those described below and in Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

We, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, are a leading developer, manufacturer and provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and solutions for numerous applications, including aerospace, automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, connected home, defense, entertainment and gaming, industrial, medical, smartphone, tablet, and wearables.

Pending Combination With Qorvo

On October 27, 2025, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Qorvo, a provider of connectivity and power solutions, to combine Qorvo and Skyworks in a cash-and-stock transaction that values the combined company at approximately $22.0 billion as of the market close on October 27, 2025.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Mergers, each share of Qorvo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto (with certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive 0.960 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of Skyworks common stock and $32.50 in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Exchange Ratio is expected to result in Qorvo equityholders and Skyworks equityholders owning approximately 37% and 63%, respectively, of the combined company on a pro forma basis following the closing. The Merger Agreement also provides for Skyworks’ assumption of certain Qorvo equity awards, subject to certain adjustments thereto in respect of, among other things, performance-based vesting conditions.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately following the closing, the Board of Directors will be comprised of 11 directors, consisting of (i) the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks, who will be the Chief Executive Officer of Skyworks following the closing, (ii) seven directors designated by Skyworks and (iii) three directors designated by Qorvo who are reasonably acceptable to Skyworks, each of whom will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders of Skyworks. Promptly following the closing, the Board of Directors will also designate a Chairman. Robert Bruggeworth, Qorvo’s current President, Chief Executive Officer and director, will be one of Qorvo’s designees upon the closing.

The Mergers, which are anticipated to close early in calendar year 2027, are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by Qorvo’s stockholders and the approval by Skyworks’ stockholders of the issuance of Skyworks common stock included in the consideration to be paid to Qorvo stockholders, the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and other regulatory approvals under certain antitrust and foreign investment regimes, the absence of any order, injunction or law of such jurisdictions prohibiting the Mergers, and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by us.

We and Qorvo each have termination rights under the Merger Agreement. Under specified circumstances, including termination by a party to accept a superior proposal or termination by the other party upon a change in such party’s board of directors’ recommendation to its stockholders, each of Qorvo and us will be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $298.7 million, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement. Alternatively, under certain specified circumstances, including termination following an injunction arising in connection with certain antitrust or foreign investment laws, or failure to receive certain required regulatory approvals of specified governmental authorities, we will be required to pay Qorvo a termination fee of $100.0 million, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter (“Bridge Commitment Letter”) on October 27, 2025, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, which committed to provide, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, up to $3,050.0 million of senior unsecured bridge term loans for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash portion of the consideration to be paid to Qorvo stockholders, paying related fees and expenses in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, in certain circumstances, to refinance certain of Qorvo’s senior notes. The receipt of financing by us is not a condition to our obligation to consummate the Mergers.

Table of Contents

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we and certain stockholders of Qorvo affiliated with Starboard Value (“SBV”), an affiliate of Peter Feld, a member of the board of directors of Qorvo so designated by SBV (each, a “SBV Stockholder”), entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “VSA”), pursuant to which each SBV Stockholder has agreed to vote its shares of Qorvo common stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. As of October 24, 2025, the SBV Stockholders collectively held approximately 8% of Qorvo’s issued and outstanding shares. Each SBV Stockholder has also agreed, for a limited period of time not exceeding nine months from the date of the VSA, not to sell or transfer its shares of Qorvo common stock, subject to certain exceptions as specified in the VSA, and has agreed not to solicit any competing acquisition proposal. The VSA will terminate, as to each SBV Stockholder, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the closing, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement, (c) the date of any Qorvo Triggering Event or Skyworks Triggering Event (each, as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (d) the written consent of Skyworks, Qorvo and the applicable SBV Stockholder.

General

During the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025, the following key factors contributed to our overall results of operations, financial position, and cash flows:

•Net revenue decreased 2.2% to $4,086.9 million in fiscal 2025, as compared to $4,178.0 million in fiscal 2024, driven primarily by a decrease in market share at a significant customer, partially offset by an increase in demand for our mobile and Wi-Fi products.

•Our ending cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance decreased 11.8% to $1,388.4 million in fiscal 2025, as compared to $1,574.1 million in fiscal 2024. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities during fiscal 2025 was primarily due to share repurchases of $830.2 million, dividend payments of $432.6 million, and capital expenditures of $195.0 million, partially offset by cash generated from operations of $1,300.8 million.

Net Revenue

We market and sell our products indirectly through electronic components distributors and directly to OEMs of communications and electronics products, third-party original design manufacturers, and contract manufacturers. We generally experience seasonal peaks during our fourth and first fiscal quarters (which correspond to the second half of the calendar year), primarily as a result of increased worldwide production of consumer electronics in anticipation of holiday sales, whereas our second and third fiscal quarters are typically lower and in line with seasonal industry trends.

The decrease in net revenue in fiscal 2025, as compared to fiscal 2024, was driven primarily by a decrease in market share at a significant customer, partially offset by an increase in demand for our mobile and Wi-Fi products.

For information regarding net revenue by geographic region and customer concentration, see Note 14 to Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Gross profit represents net revenue less cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of purchased materials, labor, and overhead (including depreciation, share-based compensation expense, and amortization of acquisition intangibles) associated with product manufacturing. Erosion of average selling prices of established products is typical of the semiconductor industry. Consistent with trends in the industry, we anticipate that average selling prices for our established products will continue to decline over time. As part of our normal course of business, we intend to improve gross profit with efforts to increase unit volumes, improve m
