Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Skyworks Solutions, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (“Skyworks” or the “Company”) is an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors. Leveraging core technologies, Skyworks supports automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, energy management, GPS, industrial, medical, military, wireless networking, smartphone and tablet applications. The Company's portfolio includes amplifiers, attenuators, circulators, demodulators, detectors, diodes, directional couplers, front-end modules, hybrids, infrastructure RF subsystems, isolators, lighting and display solutions, mixers, modulators, optocouplers, optoisolators, phase shifters, PLLs/synthesizers/VCOs, power dividers/combiners, power management devices, receivers, switches and technical ceramics. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, in management's opinion, the financial information reflects all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the full year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2012, filed with the SEC on November 21, 2012 (the "2012 10-K"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the 2012 10-K, filed with the SEC on January 28, 2013. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive loss that are reported in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Significant judgment is required in determining the recognition and/or disclosure of reserves for and fair value of items such as inventory, income taxes, share-based compensation, loss contingencies, subsequent events (which the Company has evaluated through the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements), bad debt allowances, contingent consideration, intangible assets associated with business combinations, and overall fair value assessments of assets and liabilities, particularly those classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, significant judgment is required in determining whether a potential indicator of impairment of long-lived assets exists and in estimating future cash flows for any necessary impairment tests. Actual results could significantly differ from these estimates. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to September 30. Fiscal 2013 consists of 52 weeks and ends on September 27, 2013. Fiscal 2012 consisted of 52 weeks and ended on September 28, 2012. The third quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 each consisted of 13 weeks and ended on June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively.
