Good afternoon and welcome to Skyworks Solutions Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Earnings Call. This call is being recorded. At this time, I will turn the call over to Mitch Haws, Investor Relations for Skyworks. Mr. Haws, please go ahead.

Mitch Haws — Vice President of Investor Relations

Thank you, Cheryl. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Skyworks second fiscal quarter 2020 conference call. With me on the call today are Liam Griffin, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Kris Sennesael, our Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that our discussion will include statements relating to future results and expectations that are or maybe considered forward-looking statements. Please refer to our earnings press release and recent SEC filings including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for information on certain risks that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially and adversely from any forward-looking statements made today.

Additionally, the results and guidance we will discuss include non-GAAP financial measures consistent with past practice. Please refer to our press release within the Investor Relations section of our company website for a complete reconciliation to GAAP. With that, I’ll turn the call to Liam.

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Mitch and welcome everyone. Before we begin the overview of the business and our Q2 results, I wanted to provide an update on the COVID-19 outbreak impacting individuals, companies, governments, and markets across the globe. Our thoughts are with the millions who have suffered the effects of this global pandemic.

At Skyworks, we are deeply engaged with our own employees, a team of more than 9,000 deployed across the globe. Since the crisis began, we have taken early and aggressive actions to protect our people. We’ve implemented multiple safety protocols including social distancing, daily temperature testing, and heightened sanitation standards. In addition, we initiated rotating shifts at our global manufacturing sites. The implementation of these protective measures has collectively allowed Skyworks to better safeguard employee health while simultaneously supporting our business and manufacturing sites worldwide.

Finally, an update on the temporary suspension of activity in our Mexicali facility. After working in close collaboration with state and local officials in Mexico, we were given permission to resume operations last week. Assuming no further interruptions, we do not expect the temporary suspension to have a significant impact on our business going forward.

Now looking at the second quarter in more detail. We reported revenue of $766 million, in line with our revised guidance. We produced gross margin of 50.2% and operating margin of 32.5%. We posted earnings per share of $1.34 and we generated strong operating cash flow totaling $280 million in the quarter.

Further, our design win momentum reflects our execution across a rapidly evolving business environment, one in which our wireless technologies are playing an essential and critical role. We are enabling markets from telemedicine to emergency response, remote work, online education, real-time security, streaming entertainment, and store-to-door food delivery. Our mission of connecting everyone and everything all the time has never been more relevant.

During this time of social distancing and decreased travel, the technology Skyworks provides have become a primary means of connecting people all over the world. The roll out and adoption of 5G and other advanced wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi 6 and enhanced GPS have become the pillars in support of the vast connected economy. Skyworks is proud to play an integral role in making these vital technologies and essential connections a reality.

During the March quarter, we expanded our engagement with leading customers securing key design wins across numerous applications from the mobile phone to wireless infrastructure, IoT, automotive, machine-to-machine, and medical applications. In mobile, we are leveraging our Sky5 platform across multiple flagship 5G launches including Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and other Tier 1 players and expanding our technology reach across our customized Diversity Receive platforms with new 5G-centric solutions driving sharp gains in design win count. In IoT, we are supporting high-performance 5G and Wi-Fi enabled tablets specifically developed for health, safety, and telemedicine applications.

Across mobile operators, we are powering 5G hotspots with Verizon and AT&T supporting the expanding work-from-home trend. We’re extending our market leadership in Wi-Fi 6 with home and enterprise gateways at Cisco. We’re enabling home security applications at Honeywell and ramping remote patient monitoring systems with GE. We’re also launching asset tracking and fleet management solutions with Juniper and BlackBerry.

Moving to the infrastructure space, we’re supporting 5G Massive MIMO and small cell base station deployments across the U.S., Europe, and Japan and in automotive, we’re accelerating connectivity content with leading brands including Volkswagen, Renault, Hyundai, and Nissan. These highlights demonstrate our technology leadership underpinned by a diverse and growing set of critical product categories resolving increasingly complex architectures and preparing our customers for the performance gains demanded in 5G.

In these unprecedented times, our existing technologies and connectivity protocols are processing extraordinarily high data traffic. This explosion in data consumption is taxing networks with real-time video, high-speed processing, streaming content, and a long list of critical services, all dependent upon seamless, reliable, and ubiquitous connectivity.

To illustrate how the pressure on the network capacity is intensifying, just over the last few months, we’ve seen visits to Amazon website rise more than 30% year-over-year, Zoom Video conferencing passing a milestone of 300 million daily participants, Microsoft Teams platform logging a single day record of 2.7 billion minutes and now with 5G just beginning to launch, the average user today is still working with legacy technologies showing system weakness in this high data demand environment.

Clearly more than ever, always on connectivity is paramount. Skyworks and our partners in the mobile and wireless ecosystems are anticipating and accelerating the development and delivery of much needed cutting-edge technologies led by 5G, Wi-Fi 6, enhanced GPS, and other networking protocols. As Skyworks and the world navigate this challenging environment, our focus will continue to ensure streamlined high-speed connectivity delivering a path for reliable, constant, and safe communication reaching all of our customers and their varied applications. With that, I will turn the call over to Kris for a discussion of Q2 and our outlook for Q3.

Kris Sennesael — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Thanks, Liam. Skyworks revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2020 was $766 million, in line with the March 4 updated outlook where we reduced our revenue guidance for the COVID-19 impact by approximately $45 million. At $766 million, revenue is down 5% year-over-year. However, excluding Huawei-related revenue in both Q2 of fiscal ’19 and fiscal ’20, revenue is up 4% year-over-year despite the negative impact from COVID-19. Gross profit in the second quarter was $384 million resulting in a gross margin of 50.2%. Operating expenses were $135 [Phonetic] million, flat year-over-year as we continue to prudently manage opex while making the necessary investments to accelerate future growth of the business. We generated $249 million of operating income translating into an operating margin of 32.5%. Other income was $4.5 [Phonetic] million and our effective tax rate was 9.4% driving net income of $230 million or $1.34 of diluted earnings per share.

Turning to the balance sheet and cash flow. Second fiscal quarter cash flow from operations was $280 million and capital expenditures was $60 [Phonetic] million resulting in $220 million of free cash flow on $766 million of revenue translating into a strong free cash flow margin of 29%. We paid $75 million in dividends and repurchased 3.2 million shares of our common stock for a total of $284 million. During the last 12 months, we have returned 92% of the free cash flow back to the shareholders through a combination of dividends and share buybacks. We ended the second fiscal quarter with cash and investments of $1.1 billion and we have no debt.

Now let’s move on to our outlook for Q3 of fiscal 2020. Given the supply chain and demand disruptions associated with COVID-19, visibility is limited for the June quarter resulting in a wider revenue range compared to prior quarters. For the third fiscal quarter of 2020, we anticipate revenue to be between $670 million and $710 million. We expect gross margin to be approximately 50% and operating expenses flat with Q2 at approximately $135.5 million. Below the line, we anticipate roughly $2.5 million in other income and a tax rate of 9.5%. We expect our diluted share count to further reduce to approximately 170 million shares. Accordingly, at the midpoint of the revenue range, we intend to deliver diluted earnings per share of $1.13. Lastly, I would like to highlight that the company declared a cash dividend of $0.44 per share for Q3 and we intend to continue with our share repurchase program. With that, I’ll turn the call back over to Liam.

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Despite the macro headwinds, Skyworks remains uniquely positioned as a market leader in the most important sectors in technology, capitalizing on our strengths in 5G and other advanced wireless protocols. We have made the critical investments in human capital, intellectual property, and manufacturing scale to usher in a new era of ubiquitous connectivity. Our relentless focus on solving our customers’ most challenging problems positions our partners to win by resolving complexity and advancing user experience.

Skyworks’ customer-first philosophy drives our product road maps where we leverage unique, customized, system-based solutions, purpose-built to offer interoperability, unprecedented levels of performance. Powered by the strength of our balance sheet and our cash generation capabilities, we are funding the investments that drive sustainable growth, differentiating Skyworks as both a leading technology innovator and a strong provider of consistent cash returns to our shareholders. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, let’s open the lines for questions.

Questions and Answers:

[Operator Instructions]

Mitch Haws — Vice President of Investor Relations

Operator, we’re ready for the first question. Cheryl?

Operator

Vivek, your line is open.

Vivek Arya — BofA Securities — Analyst

Oh, sorry, I didn’t realize. Thanks, thank you for taking my question. I actually had two, one on the June quarter and then second on the calendar second half expectations. So Liam, on the June quarter, I was hoping you could give us some more color. I know it’s a little early. Visibility is limited, but how have bookings played out so far. If you could give us some color by geography and mobile versus broad markets and there’s some glimmers that China might be recovering. Have you seen that in your business. Just some more color around what you have seen so far in your June quarter?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Sure, Vivek, absolutely. What we have seen coming through the March period and then moving into April, we are starting to see some improvement in the demand profile. So, obviously, we weathered some very bumpy seas here in the early part of the year, the whole industry, but our ability to continue to drive design wins and some of the design wins that we consummated earlier at the end of 2019 started to pick up a bit. So we were seeing a pretty rough period here coming through the end of March, but things have improved, I would say quite a bit as we’ve gotten into the first month of our June quarter and we do expect, again, there is some visibility issues out there, but we feel very confident about the range we put out on the June quarter and we feel very good about the bottom end of that range and we certainly feel like there is a potential for us to go much higher.

Vivek Arya — BofA Securities — Analyst

Got it. And then, Liam. On the second half, how are you thinking about the seasonal ramps because what we have heard from some of your peers in the mobile supply chain is that overall phone volumes are lower, but the 5G unit expectations are kind of hanging in there around the 170 million to 200 million unit number for this calendar year. Is that consistent with what you are hearing. Just in general, how should we think about your seasonal ramp going into September, right, which tends to be your strongest sequential growth quarter. Thank you.

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, great question. So, couple of things. We have high conviction and are really happy with the design win position we have going into the second half of the year. It is really about timing, Vivek, it really is. We think the appetite from the consumer is very, very high. There were supply chain issues earlier in the year for everybody and I think once those supply chain issues resolve and they are resolving, the consumer then has an opportunity to capture that demand with high-end products. So we have very good position with the leading players both in the U.S. and abroad and we do believe that the second half calendar year and Q4 for us are going to be much stronger than what you see in Q3.

Vivek Arya — BofA Securities — Analyst

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from Ambrish Srivastava of BMO. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Ambrish Srivastava — BMO Capital Markets — Analyst

Hi, thank you very much. Kris and Liam, I just wanted to get a better sense for your operating plan. How are you modifying it in light of what we’re seeing in COVID and specifically how should we be thinking about opex beyond the quarter, capex, as well as capital allocation, are you going to continue with your share buyback? So just wanted more color on those and I had a follow-up.

Kris Sennesael — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Yes, Ambrish, we are not changing our operating plan and, of course, we’re going to continue to drive the top line growth and as Liam just pointed out, we see a lot of strength especially in — or we expect a lot of strength, especially in the second half of the calendar year. We are holding our margins above 50% and as the business starts growing, we will see back improvements from a gross margin point of view. From an opex point of view, as you know, we are running a very lean ship, we will continue to do so, we will continue to manage that. There is some discretionary spending reductions that we are putting in place, but at the same time, we will continue to make the necessary investments in R&D and sales and marketing to support our customers and to support the growth in the second half there as well.

From a capital allocation, very similar. We will continue with our capex plan. We will continue to manage that. So where we can see and possibly make some reductions, we will not hesitate to do that, but keep in mind that most of the capex is driven by technology, new technology and filter, BAW filter, very complex assembly and test new technologies and we will make those investments to support 5G ramps and so on. And then last but not least, as we indicated, we will return most of our cash — free cash flow back to the shareholder, combination of our dividend program as well as continue to execute on our share buyback program.

Ambrish Srivastava — BMO Capital Markets — Analyst

Okay. Sounds good. Sounds like you’re very confident about at least things that you can control in light of what we are seeing. I had a very quick follow-up on the inventory days. Days went up a lot. We were expecting March in absolute dollars to go up. Is there a risk of obsolescence here on the inventories side?

Kris Sennesael — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

No, so from an inventory point of view, we are running slightly higher than normal. We actually increased inventory in the March quarter by $44 million and days of inventory is now at 155 days, which is slightly higher than normal, but it is by design, right? We have increased our buffer stocks, we have increased even finished goods inventory. We kept the loading in our factories. Again, it’s all in support of the ramp in the second half and we want to make sure we continue to deliver on time to our customer. It actually came in pretty handy. As you know, we had a temporary suspension in our Mexicali factory. We were able to continue to deliver products to our customers. Luckily, that situation now has been resolved. While we are building this inventory, there is very few or little risk from an E&O point of view and despite all of that, we continue to deliver a very strong free cash flow.

Your next question comes from Chris Caso of Raymond James. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Chris Caso — Raymond James — Analyst

Yes, thank you. For first question, can you break down the revenue from the various segments and specifically with the broad market business, if you could talk about the near-term trends that you’re seeing in that business as you go into June.

Kris Sennesael — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Yes, Chris. So in the March quarter, mobile was approximately 70% of total revenue, which was down mid-teens on a sequential basis which is somewhat in line with normal seasonality and it was flat on a year-over-year basis. Of course, that includes the reduction in Huawei because if I exclude Huawei in Q2 of fiscal ’19 and Q2 of fiscal ’20, the mobile revenue was actually up 9%, almost 10% on a year-over-year basis driven by content gains as well as the early 5G ramp with our Chinese customers. So our broad markets business was approximately 30% of total revenue in the March quarter. It was down mid-single digits sequentially, but we do expect it to be up sequentially in the June quarter, in part driven by the work-from-home, learn-from-home trends that results in strength in PC, tablets, wearables, Wi-Fi hotspots, the adoption of Wi-Fi 6, and other wireless protocols.

Chris Caso — Raymond James — Analyst

Okay, great. Thank you. As a follow-up, perhaps you can give us a little more color on the China business and in particular, I think it’s helpful to separate perhaps some of the production issues some of your customers may have had in the March quarter when some of their facilities shut and obviously, it would have gotten better from there, but perhaps to the extent you have visibility in what’s happening within demand and how those customers are selling through phones as they get to at least some degree of what’s going to be the new normal particularly within China?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Sure, Chris. Yeah, what we’re seeing is the Chinese accounts actually are recovering faster than some of the other players in the U.S. I think they were the first to be hit by the virus and they are the first to come out of it. So we are benefiting from some of the key brands Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, even some new growth now coming up with 5G with Samsung and that portfolio right now is actually — it’s not quite where it was a year ago, but it’s starting to move. The 5G penetration is strong and the velocity is picking up.

So I think the unit growth is starting to pick up, but the content within the units is really important to us. So we’re seeing very meaningful content improvement in 5G in China and again, we’ve talked about it before, but you have to have that backward compatibility for 3G, 4G, then 5G. So this is a really nice incremental move for us. There is also a great deal of complexity for the customer and our job is to resolve that and lever the integrated solutions like Sky5 to make it really easy for the client. So we are starting to see that and the Chinese brands today are really starting to move. There is still a lot of upside there from our base today, but they are starting to show some real good progress.

Chris Caso — Raymond James — Analyst

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from Craig Hettenbach of Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Craig Hettenbach — Morgan Stanley — Analyst

Great, thank you. Just following up on the broad markets business. Any additional context you have in terms of supply versus demand. Certainly, there has been some demand impact here, but also customers kind of looking to secure supply. So just curious to how you’re seeing that play out in your broad markets business?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Sure, Craig, and you’re right, I mean there was definitely a period of time and it’s still being resolved with some imbalances in supply and demand. There has been quite a bit of demand in broad markets for technologies like Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6, even some of the GPS technologies and we deliver those. So we fortunately do the lion’s share of our business in-house, right, under our watch and our own factory. So we’ve been able to be more active, more agile in executing to those demands and a lot of those demands, as Kris mentioned, were driven by new applications work-from-home, again all of the services that are starting to create the opportunity, right, we are seeing today whether it’s stay-for-home and entertainment, whatever it maybe, the technologies that we make, not just 5G, but the Wi-Fi and GPS are really moving fast.

So we’re getting to a point where the supply and demand intersection is closing, but we do see a meaningful change in user appetite for the technologies, right. I think you’re going to see more and more folks now truly adopt telemedicine or truly adopt video conferencing, some of these things that were kind of nascent and really hadn’t been played out. So we’re looking forward to that and the Wi-Fi 6 technologies as I said, are probably the leader in broad market, but we’re also generating new wins with very, very important customers globally that three or four years ago really weren’t on our list, names like GE, names like Honeywell, Raytheon to continue really broaden that reach and that side of the market.

Craig Hettenbach — Morgan Stanley — Analyst

Got it. And then just Liam just for a follow-up, for the flagship phones in the back half of this year, can you talk about just kind of year-to-year, how you’re feeling about kind of the content?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Sure, sure. Well, as I said, we’ve got some pretty important players launching 5G and the 5G story is all about incremental content, also incremental complexity and I think it will be revealed that our solutions fare very, very well and our content opportunity was meaningful and we executed on that. So some of that stuff hasn’t hit the market yet, but we know we’re winning and where we’re headed and it’s a positive move. We’ll start to see that into Q4 and into our fiscal Q1, which would be the December quarter. So Q4 September through December, you’re going to see a lot of that traction launch.

Operator

Your next question comes from Blayne Curtis of Barclays. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Blayne Curtis — Barclays — Analyst

Hey, thanks for taking my question. Liam, just curious, you went through your own factory shut down, but the handset OEMs went through that issue in Q1. You had an up [Phonetic] quarter, it’s hard to disseminate because you’re obviously I think coming off a very low level and maybe gaining some share, but I’m just kind of curious your perspective on the Android market. Was there any inventory that was built in Q1 and does that rectify itself in Q2 with this guidance?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, I think, it feels like we’re normalizing right now, Blayne, and starting to get to a point where there is real acceleration in supply chain. As you noted, throughout this period getting from February to now, there has been a tremendous amount of supply chain breakdowns everywhere. We’re fortunate that we have our own facilities and we can manage our house pretty well, but it’s very challenging for the overall industry with some locations and some factories just not being able to get employees, right, for obvious reasons, for health reasons, but I feel like that’s starting to abate now and we’re seeing more improvement.

If you look at the Android cycle, we have really good print position with MediaTek, as an example, and they’ve been a real strong feeder for Asia and other emerging markets. Also we’re seeing some really good things as I mentioned with the Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi names as we go forward and the supply chains today again are getting cleaned up pretty quickly specifically in China and other Asian markets. So we feel like that could pick up and it’s another thing, the overall theme here is that we’ve got a great technology in 5G globally in the industry and the consumer has not had a chance to get there, right. We had supply chain issues, we had some shocks, supply chain shocks in some cases where the technology wasn’t there. We have people staying at home that are not going to the stores.

This is all going to abate and the demand and the consumption for the technology is going to be there and I think wireless in this period of time that we’ve all been dealing with here, stay-at-home period, we recognize that the wireless devices that we have really are the bread and butter of our communication, our ability to work, our ability to communicate with family. It’s really important and I think the appetite for the technology is going to only increase and the opportunity for companies like Skyworks, we’re happy to play a role in advancing those technologies into the future.

Blayne Curtis — Barclays — Analyst

Thanks and I just want to ask you on your BAW efforts and Qualcomm has been very vocal about their confidence in their solid SAW technology, you saw this Broadcom asset I guess ultimately not get sold. Can you point out anything that in terms of what you’re shipping today for BAW and then as you look out into the back half of next year in terms of shipping into mid-high band module, where do you see that for Skyworks down the road?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Sure. You know the story is getting better and better, Blayne, with respect to BAW. So we have some meaningful design wins that have been shipping, but the quantity of the device count now is going way up. So we’re broadening the set of customers and then some of it, very strategic customers, the volumes and units there are picking up. So we actually — I’m going to give you like a highlight-reel stat here. We crossed 100 million units of BAW-enabled devices about two weeks ago — since we launched the BAW technology. So we’re really pleased at the launch. It’s taken a little time, but we’re accelerating. We have opportunities across the board with new customers. We have design wins with strategic customers today and we’re going to continue to advance that technology and all that stuff is being done in-house with our engineering teams, our fabs, our IP and just driving a technology solution that customers really want.

Your next question comes from Edward Snyder of Charter Equity Research. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Edward Snyder — Charter Equity Research — Analyst

Thank you very much. Liam, you mentioned a sharp gain in DRx modules content or design wins based on 5G content. Is any of that due to finally getting a transmit function in the DRx modules to support MIMO, or CA or Diversity or is it still all on the receive side and are you in production on the BAW Duplex again?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, I mean, it’s a great question. So the DRx category as you know, has really been an incredible performer in mobile device capitalizing on downlink and there is so many variants, Ed, for us. So we have a really wide portfolio in that technology and we are starting to see greater usage across the board. There is so many different versions, whether it’s DRx, DSM, ultra high band, mid-band, you can go across the board and we’re able to play in each one of those categories and you know, it’s a technology that requires very strong, very powerful filtering, the ability to work collectively with potentially LNAs and other technologies and then integrate in a way that works for the customer.

So we’re doing really well there and we do want to continue on the BAW side to advance the technology into higher and higher bands and capture more and more of that pie and I think we have some important customers and accounts that work with us that collaboratively we’re trying to get to that solution together, but along the way the DRx solutions are gaining a lot of share, a lot of traction. They are extremely valuable to the customer, it’s a high-end solution at very fair pricing and allows the customer to get a great end solution. So that technology continues to move — the bulk acoustic wave technologies again continue to move up, we’ve demonstrated some volume now, but we still have a lot of room to move from here. I mean by no means have we captured all the business. There’s a lot out there for us to go after.

Edward Snyder — Charter Equity Research — Analyst

And then on ultra-high band if I could, the sub-six [Phonetic] bands in China requiring both [Indecipherable] for 5G. I mean we’re seeing up to five new transmit-receive chains being added to some of the high-end phones. How many of your customers are putting more of a premium on size, so say favoring your dual-band solution versus flexibility on selecting the individual bands that more of the kind of approach that China has taken. I’m trying to get a feel for one, what solution is being favored and two, are you seeing a lot of people opting for kind of the fuller-end high-end solutions that would require more integration. Thanks.

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, no, it’s a great question. So you’re right, I mean, [Indecipherable] really important right now in the 5G landscape and you also, you hit another point I didn’t make. The integration is so vital. We don’t — the integration for us isn’t just kind of a cool thing to package, it is really about densifying the product and Kris mentioned some of our capital investments are really around packaging advancements. We, of course, are developing filters and trying to raise the bar on frequency with our filtering technology, but you also have to have incredible technology on the packaging side to create that miniaturization and with more and more technology squeezed in, you’ve got 3G, 4G and 5G incremental, you’ve got transmit, you’ve got receive, it’s very, very complex architecturally.

So those technologies that we have are critical and customers do want it integrated. I mean there is an appetite in some cases for discretes, but that’s really moving in the rear view mirror and the new technology, specifically in 5G, are going to be around densification, packaging, and then bringing all of those elements to the customer in an easy, easy form factor.

Your next question comes from Toshiya Hari of Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Toshiya Hari — Goldman Sachs — Analyst

Hi guys, thanks for taking the question. My first one was on your exposure in China. Kris, I think last quarter you guys were kind enough to size your business with the non-Huawei, the OVX camp at around $100 million in the December quarter. I’m curious how big those guys were in the March quarter and what the outlook was into June and related to that, we’re getting quite a few headlines related to the U.S.-China trade relationship, any of this kind of potentially impact you guys down the line? Then, I have a quick follow-up.

Kris Sennesael — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, our China business remains on or about 20% of total revenue and we definitely see strength with Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi as they ramp their 5G phones with strong Skyworks content in it. Unfortunately, the business with Huawei remains at a much lower level than it was historically although we are able to continue to ship under the ban, which is still effective right now.

Toshiya Hari — Goldman Sachs — Analyst

Got it. And then a quick follow-up on gross margins. I was positively surprised to see gross margins in the quarter essentially come in line with guidance despite lower revenue and I guess similarly into June you’re guiding to essentially flat gross margins with a reduced revenue outlook. So I guess I was curious what were some of the offsets in the March quarter. Kris, you spoke to maintaining factory loading. So maybe that’s the explanation, but were there any positives that sort of materialized in March and what are some of the potential offsets into June. Thank you.

Kris Sennesael — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Yeah, no, I mean we continue to work really hard to improve gross margins and as I talked about that before, one of the most important things is of course is advancing the technology, higher complexity, more value add new products, especially with 5G, Wi-Fi 6 that we bring to market and typically those higher complex type of products demand a higher gross margin and so as we bring those new products to market, you will see a boost from from that. Unfortunately, yes, there is some disruption in the supply chain and some inefficiencies as a result of COVID-19 and so that’s why we’re not at 53% gross margin today, but we hope that once all those disruption gets out of the supply chain and we start ramping the business, we will see some nice further improvements on the gross margins.

Your next question comes from Craig Ellis of B. Riley FBR. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Craig Ellis — B. Riley FBR — Analyst

Yeah, thanks for taking the question and congrats on the financial performance and Liam on the internal BAW milestone, that’s a big one for the company given your support there.

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, thanks very much.

Craig Ellis — B. Riley FBR — Analyst

Yeah. You’re welcome. What I wanted to do with the first question is just to make sure I’m looking at what you’re seeing with integrated mobile correctly over the — say the 12 to 18-month time period. So we have been shipping Sky5, we continue to do that and it sounds like broadened our OEM base in the quarter and so that sets up well for the back half, you’ve got 5G Diversity Receive and I wasn’t clear if you were saying that was going to ship in volume in the second half or really for next year, but in the second half, our 5G unit should at least double half-on-half for industry just given the projections that are out there from some of the big guys and then next year, hopefully, we don’t have a situation where we lose 10% of our sales days due to a virus crisis. So help me, one, understand if the timing for some of the new products is somewhat as I outlined in terms of their impact on financials and what does that mean for next year’s growth, are we solidly back in double-digit growth next year for integrated mobile?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Yeah. Great, great questions and lots of ways to think about it. So, I’ll tell you what we see now, Craig, and how it plays out into the future. We really are feeling good about the design consummation that we’ve made here and those products, a lot of those products have not yet shipped and you hit a couple of key points. Sky5, great traction, a lot of room. Diversity Receive, we’re delivering that in low-band, mid-band and high-band on the receive side with some great technologies, all of that new. Then, we start to get into the broad markets. We’re seeing more and more. I mean, Kris touched on some of it, but we’re seeing a real nice run-up in some of the Wi-Fi technologies, Wi-Fi 6 and those are not low-end products. Those are very, very high performing data drivers and then this work-in-home environment and some of the new applications that have been stimulated through this are not going to go away. The appetite is there.

So when you get to the macro view of how do the numbers come together, it’s really about timing. The magnitude of the dollars will be up. We know that and we believe that with great conviction. We’re coming off of a low point as well. I mean, this is our pivot — Q3 is our pivot quarter. This is our pivot quarter. We’re going to be up and to the right from here and it’s just about the rate of change, the rate of revenue and the timing, right. I mean the world really doesn’t care about 90-day quarters, it’s just about the actual growth and consummation of the demand. So we feel really good about it and there’s reason for it, the products are better, the 5G technologies are much faster, they are more reliable, better latency, you can move it into IoT, there’s just a lot to do and unfortunately, this COVID-19 thing showed up, no one expected it and it put the brakes on the business and now we’re starting to recover, but we still feel really good about the outcome and where we’re headed. Our factories are positioned well, we’re in extremely close communication with every one of our customers working hand-in-hand to consummate and intersect their supply, our demand, their demand, our supply working it together.

So it’s a great opportunity for companies like Skyworks to shine. We have our own facilities, we develop at a chip level and then integrate at a systems level, we can create flexibility for whatever market the customers want to roam in, what their size constraints maybe, what their current consumption maybe and weave that all together for a solution, but we feel really good about the macro theme here. It’s been delayed unfortunately, but we see that starting to come back by the end of this quarter and certainly into our Q4 in the second half calendar.

Craig Ellis — B. Riley FBR — Analyst

That’s helpful. And then the follow-up is just on broad markets and one of the comments from your recent remarks and earlier as you went through some of the applications for which broad markets is seeing good demand and had some run rate [Phonetic] whether it be auto or others, one of the things I don’t think I heard previously but was on today’s call was telemedicine and so the question is in the world that we’re now in beyond telemedicine, are there other application areas that are coming into the broad markets portfolio as new incremental TAM for you and if so, what would they be? Thanks, Liam.

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, I think the video conferencing dynamic is incredible. I’m sure everybody that’s on this call has been using that recently and even the best technology out there today is still not good enough in my opinion and I think the appetite for that is really going to create some interesting dynamics for us. I think that’s one really important one.

I think the service community is going to be a big deal right now. I mean people are — you’re seeing how the world has evolved. We talked about some stats about whether it’s Microsoft Teams or or Zoom or stay-at-home food delivery, these are things that I don’t think they’re going to go away even when the COVID-19 pandemic is done, I think there is going to be some lasting behavior and some of that’s very good behavior for our business where the consumer is going to rely more and more on wireless technologies and remote technologies to live their life in, whether it’s education, whether it’s healthcare, whether it’s entertainment all of those services are provided and can be provided through wireless technologies that we bring to market.

Your next question is from Bill Peterson of J.P. Morgan. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Bill Peterson — J.P. Morgan — Analyst

Yeah, hi, good afternoon and thanks for taking the questions. I guess the first question as it relates to COVID-19 impacts, in this case, on the supply chain, it’s good to see obviously Mexicali coming back, but there’s obviously a lot of talk that there could be multiple phases of this virus. I’m wondering, I guess how — what percentage is coming from Mexicali, what are the opportunities or have you considered outsourcing and what are the contingency plans and I guess how conceivable is it if you did need to bring up a secondary or third party to manufacture some of your products.

Kris Sennesael — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Yes, so Bill, so approximately 70%, 75% of the revenue is being generated out of the back-end facility in Mexicali. Now, before this whole COVID-19 pandemic started, we were already building a more diverse supply chain and so we have already started to shift part of our supply chain with third-party assembly and test houses out there mostly in Asia and so that’s obviously a trend that we will continue to do so.

Bill Peterson — J.P. Morgan — Analyst

Okay, thanks for that. And I know you guys constantly talk about crafting solutions, working side-by-side with customers. I guess with a lot of the lock downs in place globally, how has that impacted your design activities. I mean I presume, obviously, your second half design wins are well locked and loaded, but as we think about next year, how are you working with your customers to craft these solutions?

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, I mean we are doing that, but it’s not has been far less face-to-face, hand-to-hand kind of communication, right? So we’re not shoulder to shoulder like we used to be and we will be again, but in the meantime, we’ve got really clever engineers with customers that are very smart and we’re using the technologies we talked about, we’re doing video conferencing, Microsoft Teams, lot of conference calls, lot of sharing of PowerPoint and openness as we go through this.

So it is a different dynamic. I think most of us prefer the in-person contact, but it’s one of the things that may change, right. I think the world may change as a result, there could be more and more distance based communication and again that’s more of a wireless play, but in the meantime, we’re staying extremely close with our customers, we’re taking care of our people, we’re being good citizens in that regard and we’re hoping that we can all get through this together and look forward to better days.

Your last question comes from Harsh Kumar of Piper Sandler. Please go ahead, your line is open.

Harsh Kumar — Piper Sandler — Analyst

Yeah. hey guys, thanks for squeezing me in. So, Liam or Kris, question for you. In the last six months, revenues are down roughly, call it $200 million, but your margins are within a band of basically 20 basis points, 30 basis points. So the question is how, I mean what have you guys done here to basically keep your margins up despite the fact that your utilization I assume is down quite a bit despite the fact that you might have built a little bit of inventory, I’m just curious.

Kris Sennesael — Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

No Harsh, I mean this is, as I indicated before, a lot of hard work from the team and there’s multiple elements that come into play, right? There is more complex, higher value-add products that we bring to the market. That’s very important. We continue to execute well. Secondly, of course, it’s driving down the cost in our factories and our third-party suppliers building a very efficient operations and then of course we do have a little bit of a tailwind from a mix point of view as broad markets is growing and has some higher margins compared to the mobile business. As you know, our target model is 53%. If it wasn’t for the headwinds that you just indicated, we would have been there already, but unfortunately we have to deal with those headwinds and we dealing with it. And so, as I indicated before, in the second half of 2020 and beyond, when those headwinds become tailwinds, we will see some nice further gross margin improvements.

Harsh Kumar — Piper Sandler — Analyst

It’s pretty impressive guys, I just wanted to ask if there was anything going on and then secondly, we’ve heard a lot, you guys have called out China particularly in the new 5G phones, you know, Oppo, Vivo etc in the last few calls and I was curious if you guys are actually you think you’re actually gaining a lot of share or is it just a situation where China as a country is going to 5G and you’re just getting a fair share there.

Liam K. Griffin — President and Chief Executive Officer

No, the way we see it and we have really good intel on this is that we are gaining a lot of share and part of it is the ability to do that integration and make it easy for the customer. So there’s a great deal of interest and appetite in demand in China for a 5G product and what we’re doing is we’re bringing in a highly complex configured customer by customer Sky5 platform so that those customers don’t have to deal with all the complexity and burden of laying out 40, 50 different discrete devices to create a 5G engine. We’re going to do it for them. And so that’s been really the play for us and it’s worked out great. It gives our customers a faster time to market. It lowers their need for an engineering burden, we can do that for you and then we bring it to the market uniquely and differentiated.
