Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On July 7, 2014, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Panasonic Corporation, through its Automotive & Industrial Systems Company (“Panasonic”), Skyworks Panasonic Filter Solutions Japan Co., Ltd. (“FilterCo”), Skyworks Panasonic Filter Solutions Singapore Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of FilterCo (“FilterSub”), Skyworks Luxembourg S.a.r.l., and Panasonic Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. providing for the formation of a joint venture with respect to the design, manufacture and sale of Panasonic’s surface acoustic wave (“SAW”) and temperature-compensated (“TC”) SAW filter products. On August 1, 2014, pursuant to the terms contemplated by the Agreement, Panasonic completed its contribution to FilterCo and its wholly owned subsidiary, FilterSub, certain assets, properties, employees and rights related to its SAW and TC SAW filter business. Also on August 1, 2014 the Company completed its acquisition of a 66% controlling interest in FilterCo for $148.5 million in cash, subject to certain working capital adjustments. The working capital adjustment has been estimated and is included in the purchase price and recorded in other current liabilities on the balance sheet. Following the two-year anniversary of the closing of this acquisition, the Company will have the right to acquire from Panasonic, and Panasonic will have the right to sell to the Company, the remaining 34% interest in FilterCo for $76.5 million, subject to certain potential foreign exchange fluctuation adjustments as described in the Agreement (collectively the “purchase options”). Overall demand for SAW and TC SAW filters is increasing as technology enhancements and product architectures become more complex to support the overall evolution of wireless technology and the increasing number of frequency bands that are utilized in end consumer products. The acquisition assists the Company in securing a dedicated supply of SAW and TC SAW filters in addition to allowing for integrating filters into the design and production of the Company's products. The purchase options allow the Company to acquire the remaining 34% interest in FilterCo from Panasonic for a fixed price of $76.5 million on or after the second anniversary of the acquisition and permit Panasonic to sell its remaining 34% interest to the Company under the same terms. These options are non-transferable and terminate if the Company exercises its option to purchase, or Panasonic exercises its option to sell, the non-controlling interest. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the purchase options are embedded in the non-controlling interest because they are not legally detachable from the non-controlling interest nor are they separately exercisable because the non-controlling interest terminates upon exercising of the options. In accordance with ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company will account for the purchase option and non-controlling interest on a combined basis because it reflects the economic substance of the transaction and the Company retains the risks and rewards of owning FilterCo over the option period. Accordingly, the purchase option is considered to be seller financing of the remaining 34% of FilterCo and as a result, will be recorded as a liability for the future purchase of the remaining interest. The Company will not recognize a non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements. The $76.5 million settlement amount of this liability was measured at its present value in the determination of purchase price for this acquisition. The difference between the present value and settlement amount will be accreted to earnings ratably over the option period. As of October 3, 2014, the present value of this liability was $74.0 million and included in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. Although the settlement amount of the purchase option is fixed, it contains a foreign exchange adjustment (“foreign exchange collar”). In the event the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Japanese yen fluctuates outside of a predetermined range as defined in the Agreement upon exercising of the options the total amount the Company owes to Panasonic can change. This feature was intended for the parties to share in foreign exchange exposure outside of this range and does not impact the fair value of the remaining interest in FilterCo. As of the date of the acquisition the fair value of the foreign exchange collar was immaterial and was excluded from the determination of purchase price and accounted for separately from the acquisition (see Note 4 Fair Value in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information). As of October 3, 2014, the exchange rate between the United States dollar and Japanese yen was within the foreign exchange collar. The Company reviewed ASC 810 Consolidations, and concluded that FilterCo does not meet the definition of a variable interest entity. The Company controls FilterCo through its voting rights and absorbs all of FilterCo's expected losses or residual returns. Panasonic does not share in the risks and rewards of FilterCo. Accordingly, the Company consolidated 100% of FilterCo's activity and eliminated all intercompany transactions and will not recognize a non-controlling interest. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities recognized in the Company’s acquisition of FilterCo was not finalized at the time of filing this annual report on Form 10-K. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price reflected in the accompanying financial statements is based upon estimates and assumptions which are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date as prescribed in the ASC 805 Business Combinations). The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class related to the FilterCo acquisition and are reflected, as of the acquisition date, in the accompanying financial statements as follows (in millions):
|  | As of
Estimated fair value of assets acquired |  | August 1, 2014
Accounts receivable |  | $ | 12.2 |
Inventory |  | 35.5 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 121.2 |
Developed technology |  | 36.2 |
Goodwill |  | 50.5 |
Liabilities assumed |  | (22.4 | )
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired |  | $ | 233.2 |
The preliminary amount of the FilterCo purchase price allocated to goodwill of $50.5 million represents the expected synergies from cost reductions and manufacturing efficiencies. The Company expects that substantially all of the goodwill recognized in this transaction will not be deductible for tax purposes. The Company considers FilterCo's patented and unpatented technologies, manufacturing know-how and trade secrets to be closely related and as a result have combined these into one identifiable intangible asset as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the developed technology asset was preliminarily valued at $36.2 million and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of three years as of August 1, 2014. The estimated fair value of the intangible asset acquired was primarily determined using a relief from royalty method based on significant inputs that were not observed. The Company considers the fair value of each of the acquired intangible assets to be Level 3 assets due to the significant estimates and assumptions used by management in establishing the estimated fair values. See Note 4, Fair Value, in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the definition of Level 3 assets. The assumed liabilities of FilterCo include an estimate for a net pension obligation that had not yet transferred to the Company as of October 3, 2014. FilterCo employees located in Japan were covered under a pension plan provided by Panasonic. In the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2015, these employees will cease their employment with Panasonic and will become FilterCo employees. Employee benefits offered under the Panasonic pension will not change and as a result, the employee transfer will include a pro-rata share of pension assets and obligations that are entitled to all transferred employees. The Company preliminarily estimates this obligation of $6.4 million as of October 3, 2014 and upon the completion of the employee and pension related assets and obligation transfer, the Company will compute its fair value assessment of the pension assets and obligations in accordance with ASC 715 Compensation - Retirement Benefits. Any adjustment related to this fair value calculation to benefits that existed as of the acquisition date will be treated as a measurement period adjustment. Net revenue and net income for FilterCo have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the acquisition date through the end of the fiscal year on October 3, 2014 and the impact of FilterCo's ongoing operations on the Company's net revenue and net income were immaterial. The Company recognized transaction related costs associated with this acquisition of approximately $3.4 million during the fiscal year ended October 3, 2014 which were included within the sales, administrative and general expense line item on the statement of operations. The unaudited pro forma financial results for the fiscal years ended October 3, 2014 and September 27, 2013 combine the unaudited historical results of Skyworks with the unaudited historical results of FilterCo for the fiscal years ended October 3, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively. The results include the effects of unaudited pro forma adjustments as if FilterCo was acquired at the beginning of the prior fiscal year, September 29, 2012. The unaudited pro forma results presented include amortization charges for acquired intangible assets, adjustments for increases in the fair value of acquired inventory, other charges and related tax effects. The pro forma financial results presented below do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. These unaudited results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of future operations (in millions, except per share amounts):
|  | Fiscal Years-Ended
|  | October 3, 2014 |  | September 27, 2013
Revenue |  | $ | 2,324.9 |  |  | $ | 1,819.6 |
Net income |  | $ | 451.7 |  |  | $ | 256.4 |
Diluted earnings per common share |  | $ | 2.35 |  |  | $ | 1.33 |
