Cirrus Logic Reports December Quarter Revenue Up 15 Percent Sequentially to $218.9 Million

Completes Acquisition of Leading Voice-Based Technology Supplier Acoustic Technologies

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 28, 2014--Cirrus Logic, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS), a leader in high-precision analog and digital signal processing components, today posted on its investor relations website at http://investor.cirrus.com the quarterly Shareholder Letter that contains the complete financial results for the third quarter fiscal year 2014, which ended Dec. 28, as well as the company’s current business outlook.

“We delivered strong revenue, operating profit and EPS results for the third quarter,” said Jason Rhode, president and chief executive officer. “While our business is typically driven by product cycles that weight our revenue more heavily towards the September and December quarters, we expect to exceed our operating profit goal of 20 percent in FY14 and we remain committed to this long-term target. We are extremely excited to be taping out a wave of new products in advanced geometries this year as we look to capitalize on strategic opportunities in audio with new and existing customers, especially the growing trend of voice as a powerful interface to a wide variety of devices. We anticipate these products will contribute to future revenue growth as early as calendar year 2015.”

Reported Financial Results – Third Quarter FY14

- Revenue of $218.9 million;
- Gross margin of 47.4 percent;
- GAAP operating expenses of $51 million and non-GAAP operating expenses of $45 million; and
- GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.63 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.89.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP charges is included in the tables accompanying this press release.

Business Outlook – Fourth Quarter FY14

- Revenue is expected to range between $130 million and $150 million;
- Gross margin is expected to be between 47 percent and 49 percent; and
- Combined R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to range between $51 million and $55 million, which includes approximately $6 million in share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles.
