Record Q2 Revenue and EPS Driven by Strong Demand for Smartphones

Cirrus Logic, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS) today posted on its website at investor.cirrus.com the quarterly Shareholder Letter that contains the complete financial results for the second quarter fiscal year 2023, which ended September 24, 2022, as well as the company’s current business outlook.

“Cirrus Logic reported Q2 revenue of $540.6 million, marking the fifth consecutive quarter in which we have set a revenue record for the corresponding fiscal period. Results were well above the top end of our guidance, as we benefited from higher unit volumes and high-performance mixed-signal content gains in smartphones,” said John Forsyth, Cirrus Logic president and chief executive officer. “In addition to these strong results, during the quarter we also made excellent progress in our audio product lines and in our strategy of expansion through adjacent high-performance mixed-signal applications. We furthered the development of our next-generation flagship smartphone audio components, continued to build momentum with our audio products in additional markets, and saw the continued growth in value of our camera controller solutions. With an extensive product portfolio and an outstanding roadmap, we believe we are positioned well to capitalize on opportunities that we believe will drive growth in the years to come.”

Safe Harbor Statement

Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this news release contain forward-looking statements including our statements about capitalizing on opportunities that we believe will drive growth in the years to come, and our estimates for the third quarter fiscal year 2023 revenue, gross margin, combined research and development and selling, general and administrative expense levels, stock compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles and acquisition-related costs. In some cases, forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “project,” “believe,” “goals,” “opportunity,” “estimates,” “intend,” and variations of these types of words and similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to our plans, expectations, strategies, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, and readers should not place undue reliance on such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the effects of the global COVID-19 outbreak and the measures taken to limit the spread of COVID-19, including any disruptions to our business that could result from measures to contain the outbreak that may be taken by governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which we and our supply chain operate; the susceptibility of the markets we address to economic downturns, including as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19; increased industry-wide capacity constraints that may impact our ability to meet current customer demand, which could cause an unanticipated decline in our sales and damage our existing customer relationships and our ability to establish new customer relationships; the potential for increased prices due to capacity constraints in our supply chain, which, if we are unable to increase our selling price to our customers, could result in lower revenues and margins that could adversely affect our financial results; recent significant increases in inflation in the U.S and overseas; the level and timing of orders and shipments during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, customer cancellations of orders, or the failure to place orders consistent with forecasts, along with the risk factors listed in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 26, 2022 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov. The foregoing information concerning our business outlook represents our outlook as of the date of this news release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.
