Financial Commentary and Outlook
Mark Murphy, chief financial officer of Qorvo, said, "Qorvo's December quarter
results and March quarter guidance reflect strength in our end markets of 5G, Wi-Fi
and Defense and continued strong operating performance. Given our operating results
and capital management, we now forecast free cash flow for the full fiscal year
of over $700 million."
Qorvo currently believes the demand environment in its end markets supports the
following expectations for the March 2020 quarter:
- Quarterly revenue in the range of $800 million to $840 million
- Non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 48.5%
- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.55 at the midpoint of guidance
Qorvo's actual quarterly results may differ from these expectations and projections,
and such differences may be material.
