Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed August 3, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on August 3, 2026 under Item 8.01 (Other Events) and Item 9.01 (Financial Statements and Exhibits) to furnish information related to its pending merger with Qorvo, Inc. under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 27, 2025.
Under the merger structure, Qorvo becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Skyworks. Each Qorvo share will be converted into 0.960 shares of Skyworks common stock plus $32.50a in cash. The filing states that Skyworks expects Qorvo equityholders and Skyworks equityholders to own approximately 37% and 63%, respectively, of the combined company on a pro forma basis.
The filing also notes that Qorvo and Skyworks each received a Second Request from the FTC on February 5, 2026, and that closing is subject to required regulatory approvals, including certain antitrust and foreign investment approvals. The company states it is "increasingly hopeful" the transaction will close within the calendar year, but cannot assure that timeline. The filing attaches Qorvo's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 27, 2026, which show revenue of $784,795 thousandb, operating income of $96,770 thousand, and net income of $85,802 thousand, compared with $818,778 thousand of revenue and $25,594 thousand of net income in the prior-year quarter.
It also attaches Skyworks' unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. That information shows pro forma combined net revenue of $5,500 millionc for the nine months ended July 3, 2026, an estimated total merger consideration of $8,433 million, which includes $2,867 million of cash, and estimated goodwill of $4,156 million. The pro forma figures rest on preliminary purchase price allocations and exclude anticipated synergies.
For investors, the key items are the scale of the transaction, the regulatory timeline and the financing. The pro forma presentation includes an assumed $2,000 milliond of new debt financing for the cash portion, and the Qorvo senior notes are subject to exchange offers and consent solicitations that remain open until September 1, 2026 unless extended.
