Qorvo Beats Q1 Earnings Estimates Despite Lower Y/Y Revenues 

Qorvo reported strong first-quarter fiscal 2027 results, with both adjusted earnings and revenues surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

During the quarter, lower smartphone-related revenues weighed on the company’s overall sales. However, solid growth in the High-Performance Analog business, along with disciplined cost management, helped improve profitability and margins.

Net Income

On a GAAP basis, the company reported a net income of $85.8 million or 96 cents per share compared with $25.6 million or 27 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Despite lower net sales, lower cost of goods sold boosted the bottom line during the quarter.

Non-GAAP net income was $146.6 million or $1.64 per share compared with $86.5 million or 92 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.10 per share.

Revenues

Net sales during the quarter declined to $784.8 million from $818.8 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to soft demand in the Advanced Cellular Group segment. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $745.8 million. 

Segmental Performance

The High-Performance Analog segment contributed $206.3 million in revenues, up from $137.4 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting continued strength across its diversified portfolio, including defense and aerospace applications.

Revenues from the Connectivity and Sensors Group segment were $101.9 million compared with $110.2 million in the year-earlier quarter. Net sales in the Advanced Cellular Group segment were $476.6 million, down 16.6% year over year due to weaker demand from certain smartphone customers and changes in product mix.

Other Details

Non-GAAP gross profit was $414.3 million compared with $360 million in the year-ago quarter, with respective margins of 52.8% and 44%. Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased to $236.6 million from $251.8 million a year ago. Non-GAAP operating income was $177.6 million compared with $108.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
