New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company assesses recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to determine the expected impacts on the Company's financial statements. The summary below describes impacts from newly issued standards as well as material updates to our previous assessments, if any, from Qorvo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2017. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." The new guidance clarifies when modification accounting in Topic 718 should be applied to changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The Company elected to early-adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 with no impact on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The Company elected to adopt the standard early in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective method, which requires a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The cumulative adjustment to the July 1, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was not significant. For the three months ended July 1, 2017, the Company recognized a discrete tax expense of $5.4 million related to intra-entity transfers of assets during the quarter. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." The new guidance simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards on the balance sheet and presentation on the statement of cash flows, and became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce the Company's accumulated deficit by $36.7 million with a corresponding increase to deferred tax assets for the Federal and state net operating losses attributable to excess tax benefits which had not been previously recognized. All excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the current and future periods will be recognized as income tax expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the reporting period in which they occur. This will result in increased volatility in the Company’s effective tax rate. For the three months ended July 1, 2017, the Company recognized a discrete tax benefit of $3.8 million related to the excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The company plans to continue its existing practice of estimating expected forfeitures in determining compensation cost. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting." The new guidance eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method of accounting when an investment previously accounted for under the cost basis qualifies for the equity method of accounting. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 with no impact on its consolidated financial results. Application will be made on a prospective basis as transactions in scope of this new guidance occur. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." The new guidance changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs to completion, transportation, or disposal. The new standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
