SILICON LABORATORIES ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

AUSTIN, Texas — January 31, 2007 — Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today reported fourth quarter revenue of $111 million.

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 53.4 percent, which was above the company’s previously stated guidance range of 52 to 53 percent. GAAP operating income was $2.6 million. Non-GAAP operating income was $12.7 million, or 11.4 percent of revenue. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $5.2 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share. Non-GAAP net income, excluding certain charges, was $13.5 million, or $0.24 per fully diluted share. The reconciling charges are set forth in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures table included below.

The company’s balance sheet continued to be strong with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling approximately $386 million at December 30, 2006. During the quarter, the company repurchased shares of its common stock under its repurchase program at a cost of approximately $15 million.

“We achieved year-over-year revenue growth while managing through multiple product transitions in our mobile handset business and experiencing an overall industry slowdown in the second half of the year,” said Necip Sayiner, President and CEO of Silicon Laboratories. “We continue to create a diverse set of growth drivers within our business and execute on our new product introductions in our effort to drive double digit growth in 2007.”

Business Summary

During the fourth quarter, the company experienced strong demand for its Broadcast products, in particular FM tuners and satellite receivers.  The broad-based mixed-signal business experienced a slight decline on a sequential basis due to lower modem shipments.




The mobile handset business performed within the company’s guidance for the fourth quarter.    Silicon Laboratories experienced a decline in the total GSM/GPRS transceiver shipments, which was largely offset by the increase in EDGE transceiver shipments, initial AeroFONE™ revenue and FM tuner growth.

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2007, the company anticipates revenue to be in a range of $106 to $111 million.
