Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement Cirrus Logic's financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Cirrus has provided non-GAAP financial information, including gross margins, operating expenses, net income, operating profit and income, tax expenses and diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results is included in the tables to the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Non-GAAP financial information is not meant as a substitute for GAAP results, but is included because management believes such information is useful to our investors for informational and comparative purposes. In addition, certain non-GAAP financial information is used internally by management to evaluate and manage the company. The non-GAAP financial information used by Cirrus Logic may differ from that used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The information contained in Items 2.02, 7.01, and 9.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits furnished hereto contain forward-looking statements regarding the Company and cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In addition, this information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
