Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions Completed. On March 16, 2021 (the Closing Date), we completed the acquisition of NuVia, Inc. (NUVIA) for $1.1 billion (net of $174 million cash acquired), substantially all of which was paid in cash. In connection with the acquisition, we assumed or replaced unvested NUVIA stock awards with Qualcomm stock awards with an estimated fair value of $258 million, which have post-acquisition requisite service periods of up to four years. NUVIA has certain in-process technologies and is comprised of a CPU (central processing unit) and technology design team with expertise in high performance processors, SoC (system-on-chip) and power management for compute-intensive devices and applications. Upon completion of development, NUVIA’s technologies are expected to be integrated into certain QCT products. We recorded $885 million of goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes and was allocated to our QCT segment for annual impairment testing purposes. Goodwill is primarily attributable to assembled workforce and certain revenue and cost synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. We also recorded a $247 million in-process research and development intangible asset related to a single project, which is expected to be completed in fiscal 2023 and, upon completion, will be amortized over its useful life, which is expected to be seven years. Our results of operations for fiscal 2021 included the operating results of NUVIA since the Closing Date, the amounts of which were not material. Pending. On October 4, 2021, we and SSW Partners, a New York-based investment partnership, entered into a definitive agreement (the Merger Agreement) to acquire Veoneer, Inc. (Veoneer) for $37.00 per share in cash, which values the estimated total cash consideration to be paid to Veoneer’s shareholders, inclusive of amounts expected to be paid at closing for Veoneer’s outstanding equity awards and convertible senior notes due 2024, at approximately $4.5 billion. At closing, SSW Partners will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Veoneer, shortly after which it will sell Veoneer’s Arriver business to Qualcomm and retain Veoneer’s Tier-1 automotive supplier businesses. Following the close of the Arriver business sale, we intend to incorporate Arriver’s computer vision, drive policy and driver assistance technologies into our Snapdragon automotive platform to deliver an ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) platform for automakers and Tier-1 automotive suppliers. The Merger Agreement was approved by Veoneer’s shareholders on December 16, 2021. The acquisition is subject to certain other closing conditions. The Merger Agreement also provides that Qualcomm and SSW Partners are not required to complete the acquisition prior to April 4, 2022. Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, the acquisition is expected to close in 2022. We will fund substantially all of the cash consideration that SSW Partners will pay to Veoneer’s shareholders in exchange for (i) our right to acquire, and SSW Partners’ obligation to sell to us, Veoneer’s Arriver business and (ii) our right to receive a portion of the proceeds upon the sale of Veoneer’s Tier-1 automotive supplier businesses by SSW Partners. In addition, we entered into a loan facility under which we will provide financing to Veoneer to support the Arriver business, to the extent requested by Veoneer, in the event that the acquisition has not closed, for the quarter commencing April 1, 2022 and each of the two subsequent quarters of up to $120 million per quarter (up to $360 million in the aggregate), which amounts may be forgiven in certain circumstances in which the Merger Agreement is terminated. An additional amount of up to $120 million for the first quarter of calendar 2023 may be provided under the loan facility if the final outside date, as defined in the Merger Agreement, is extended to April 4, 2023. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, we paid to Magna International Inc. (Magna) a termination fee of $110 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 on behalf of Veoneer in connection with the termination of the previously announced agreement and plan of merger, dated as of July 22, 2021, by and among Magna and Veoneer. The termination fee was recorded in other noncurrent assets as advanced consideration for the acquisition at December 26, 2021 and was classified as cash used by investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the three months ended December 26, 2021.
