October 20, 2009 8:00 AM EDT

Forecasts Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth in the Third Quarter of 30-40 Percent

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cirrus Logic, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS), a leader in high-precision analog and digital signal processing components, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended Sept. 26, 2009.

Revenue for the quarter was $55.7 million compared to $53.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 and $37.5 million in the previous quarter. Gross margin for the quarter was 52 percent, down from 56 percent in the quarter a year ago and flat compared to 52 percent reported for the previous quarter.

Total GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were approximately $22.5 million, up from $19.8 million in the previous quarter. GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter included a net benefit of approximately $1.4 million related to the sale of certain patents as well as an additional $165,000 in facilities restructuring credits. GAAP operating expenses also include charges of $1.3 million for stock-based compensation and $400,000 in acquisition-related amortization of intangibles. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were approximately $22.4 million, compared to $20.9 million for the June quarter.

Income from operations on a GAAP basis was approximately $6.4 million. Excluding the items noted above, non-GAAP income from operations was $6.7 million.

Cirrus Logic reported second quarter GAAP net income of approximately $6.8 million, or $0.10 per share based on 65.5 million average diluted shares outstanding. Excluding the items noted above, on a non-GAAP basis the company reported net income of $7.0 million, or $0.11 per share.

"We are extremely pleased with our Q2 results, as revenue and gross margin exceeded our expectations, driven by both new audio product ramps as well as a modest recovery across our other product lines," said Jason Rhode, president and chief executive officer, Cirrus Logic. "We expect further revenue growth in Q3, coupled with gross margin improvements due to a higher mix of Energy revenue as well as continued improvements to our product cost structures."

Outlook for Third Quarter FY 2010 (ending December 26, 2009):

    --  Revenue is expected to range between $58 million and $62 million;
    --  Gross margin is expected to be between 52 percent and 54 percent; and
    --  Combined R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to range between $23 million
        and $25 million, which include approximately $2 million in share-based
        compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles
        expenses.
