A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.<br><br>Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures<br><br>Skyworks Solutions, Inc. uses non-GAAP financial measures of operating results, net income and earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain charges and non-recurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our current fin
ancial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain charges and non-recurring items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operations and economic performance. Additionally, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.<br>

<FONT SIZE="2">
On September 29, 2006, the Board of Directors of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") committed to a plan to discontinue the Company's cellular baseband operations ("Baseband Operations") as a result of continued contraction in the addressable market for its complete cellular system products, primarily due to continuing consolidation of the handset market by tier one original equipment manufacturers.  As a result of this decision, the Company is restructuring its business to focus on its core analog and RF product markets. <br><br>As a result of the discontinuation of its Baseband Operations, the Company expects to reduce its global workforce by approximately 10% (or approximately 425 employees) and close (or consolidate) certain international design centers. The Company expects these actions to result in annual cost savings of approximately $70 million, commencing in the Company's 2007 fiscal year, which began October 1, 2006, and will end September 28, 2007. The aggregate estimated pre-tax charges asso
ciated with these actions, including certain bad debt charges related to baseband customers, are expected to be between $85 million and $95 million.  Total cash charges are expected to be approximately $25 million, and consist primarily of one-time employee severance and related termination costs of approximately $13 million and contract termination costs of approximately $12 million.  Total non-cash charges, consisting of asset impairments, are expected to be between $60 million and $70 million, including approximately $20 million for inventory, approximately $35 million for accounts receivable, and approximately $10 million for property, plant and equipment.  Most of these charges were incurred in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006. These actions are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007.<br><br>Information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that relates to the Company&#x2019;s anticipated expense reductions, restructuring charges, financial performa
nce, business prospects and plans, and similar matters are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  All information set forth herein is current as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no duty to update any statement in light of new information or future events except as required by applicable law.

Implements Strategic Restructuring</B></FONT>



<P align="center" style="font-size: 14pt"><FONT style="font-size: 12pt"><I>Intensifies Focus on High Growth Core Analog and RF Business;<BR>
Outlines New Financial Model with FY07 Pro Forma Diluted<BR>
EPS of $0.55 to $0.60 and EBITDA in Excess of $150 Million</I></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>WOBURN, Mass., Oct. 2, 2006&#151;</B>Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling mobile connectivity, today announced
that effective immediately the company is ceasing its baseband operations in order to sharpen focus
on its high growth core business encompassing linear products, power amplifiers, front-end modules
and radio solutions. Skyworks&#146; baseband business developed complete reference designs,
incorporating the digital signal processor and software functionality, in support of tier-three
handset suppliers. This initiative was complex, research and development intensive and generated
substantial operating losses. As tier-one OEMs have increasingly dominated the landscape, the
addressable market for the company&#146;s baseband solutions has significantly contracted.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">At the same time, and essentially masked by declining baseband sales, Skyworks&#146; core business
revenue has grown an average of 17&nbsp;percent annually over the past four years. This growth has been
driven by: first, the successful launch of the Linear Products business; second, power amplifier
market share gains; third, ramp of Helios&#153; EDGE radios; and fourth, capture of increasing dollar
content through highly integrated solutions.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Given the diverging profitability and growth profiles of the baseband and core businesses, the
company has implemented a strategic restructuring to immediately eliminate all baseband-related
infrastructure while strengthening research and development, marketing and sales efforts within the
core business.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">&#147;Today marks a new beginning for Skyworks as we become a far more profitable and streamlined
company. We are focusing exclusively on our high growth and profitable analog and RF core business
where Skyworks possesses a clear competitive advantage,&#148; said David J. Aldrich, Skyworks&#146; president
and chief executive officer. &#147;Going forward, we will partner with, rather than compete against,
leading baseband suppliers such as Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Freescale and Infineon.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;We began our transition away from developing baseband designs nearly two years ago, but
continued to support existing customers with legacy products. Throughout this timeframe, our
portfolio of linear products, ultra-compact power amplifiers, Intera&#153; front-end modules and Helios&#153;
EDGE radios has demonstrated design win momentum and an accelerating growth trajectory.
Accordingly, today we are implementing a strategic restructuring to build upon our leadership
franchise and to realize our vision of becoming the global leader in semiconductors enabling mobile
connectivity,&#148; said Aldrich.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Key Elements of Strategic Restructuring</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Skyworks is eliminating nearly $70&nbsp;million in annual costs through the narrowing of product
development, closure of certain international design centers and reduction of approximately 425
employees, or 10&nbsp;percent of the worldwide workforce. These actions are expected to result in
charges of between $85 and $95&nbsp;million &#151; more than two thirds of which are anticipated to be
non-cash &#151; for asset impairments, severance and shut-down costs. The majority of this activity is
expected to be recorded in the fourth fiscal quarter ending September&nbsp;29, 2006.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Historical Revenue Base</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Skyworks&#146; revenue from the core business has grown at a compounded annual rate of 17&nbsp;percent
&#151; from $396&nbsp;million at the time of the company&#146;s launch in fiscal 2002 to an estimated $730
million in fiscal 2006. This growth has been offset by the declining baseband revenues and the
conclusion of a non-strategic assembly and test services contract.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Fourth Fiscal Quarter Business Update</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Skyworks is affirming its fourth fiscal quarter guidance of revenue in the range of $197 to
$200&nbsp;million and pro forma diluted earnings per share of $0.05.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Fiscal 2007 Financial Model</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Following the exit of the baseband business, the company plans to deliver fiscal 2007 revenue
of $820 to $840&nbsp;million, an increase in the core business of nearly 15&nbsp;percent year-over-year. On
a pro forma basis, gross margin is expected to expand to the 38 to 40&nbsp;percent range, while
operating expenses decrease to $215&nbsp;million, yielding operating income in excess of $100&nbsp;million
and EBITDA of more than $150&nbsp;million. Most importantly, the company expects to achieve record pro
forma diluted earnings per share of $0.55 to $0.60 in fiscal 2007 -&#151; roughly two times the current
First Call consensus estimate of $0.29.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">For the first fiscal quarter of 2007, the company expects pro forma earnings per share of
$0.12 to $0.14 with revenue growth in the core business offsetting the elimination of baseband
revenue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">&#147;Skyworks&#146; business transformation is now complete. We&#146;ve evolved from a system-level
baseband supplier targeting new market entrants at the time of our launch, to a developer of highly
specialized analog and RF solutions supporting leading customers. Accordingly, we plan to
substantially improve our financial performance beginning in the current quarter and ultimately
deliver superior returns to our shareholders,&#148; Aldrich concluded.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Both pro forma and EBITDA financial measures, which supplement financial measures based on
GAAP, exclude certain charges including equity-based compensation, amortization of intangible
assets and non-recurring items, such as the restructuring charges outlined above. The company
believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and
investors by excluding certain charges and non-recurring items that may not be indicative of
Skyworks&#146; ongoing operations and economic performance. Due to the company&#146;s inability to project
with certainty the timing of certain restructuring charges, the company is not providing comparable
GAAP measures.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Strategic Restructuring Conference Call</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">To further discuss its exit of the baseband business and fiscal 2007 outlook, the company will
conduct an analyst conference call on October&nbsp;3, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. To listen to the
