Cirrus Logic Reports Fiscal Q1 2009 Financial Results

Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS), a leader in high-precision analog and digital signal processing components, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, which ended June 28, 2008.

The company reported first quarter fiscal year 2009 revenue of $44.0 million, compared with $41.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and $44.8 million in the previous quarter. Gross margin for the quarter was 56 percent compared with 59 percent for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and 55 percent in the previous quarter. These first quarter results included approximately $700,000 of revenue and approximately $200,000 in costs of sales associated primarily with the shipment of end of life products from Caretta Integrated Circuits. Total GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $23.6 million, which included stock-based compensation, acquisition-related amortization of intangibles, and vacated facility-related charges of approximately $2.1 million. Cirrus Logic reported first quarter GAAP net income of $2.1 million, or $0.03 per share based on 67.2 million average diluted shares outstanding. Excluding the items noted above, non-GAAP net income was $3.7 million, or $0.06 earnings per share.

Total cash and marketable securities at the end of the first fiscal quarter was $103 million, compared with $187 million at the end of the prior fiscal quarter. As previously announced, during the first quarter the company completed its $150 million share repurchase program.

Outlook for Second Quarter FY 2009 (ending September 27, 2008):

* Revenue is expected to range between $50 million and $54 million;
* Gross margin is expected to be between 53 percent and 55 percent; and
* Combined R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to range between $23 million and $25 million, which include approximately $2.0 million in share-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles expenses.

“We’re pleased with our financial performance in Q1, especially in light of current challenging market conditions. Revenues were up year over year and we continue to drive operating expenses down,” said Jason Rhode, president and chief executive officer. “Our guidance for the September quarter reflects our expectation for meaningful revenue growth in the second half of this calendar year, driven by strong demand for our portable audio products.”
