SILICON LABORATORIES ANNOUNCES RECORD REVENUE

Company Also Announces Significant Expansion of Share Repurchase Program—

AUSTIN, Texas — July 25, 2007 — Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today reported record revenue in continuing operations of $75.6 million and earnings per share results that exceeded the company’s guidance. The company also announced a significant increase in the share repurchase program.

Share Repurchase Program

Silicon Laboratories’ Board of Directors approved a new $400 million share repurchase plan, quadrupling the previous authorization. The program will be executed on the open market or in private transactions, including structured or accelerated transactions, depending on market conditions.

“It is our intention to be active in the execution of this program, effectively returning capital to shareholders and significantly reducing our outstanding share base,” said Bill Bock, chief financial officer of Silicon Laboratories. “We also believe this is a responsible action relative to our cash position in that it returns value to shareholders while retaining our financial flexibility for either the operation of the business or for strategic opportunities.”

Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenue increased by two percent year over year to record levels in the second quarter. GAAP gross margin totaled 60 percent. GAAP operating income was $1.9 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.12 represented more than a 100 percent improvement over the same period last year.




Excluding an $8.6 million charge for stock compensation expense, non-GAAP operating income was $10.6 million or 14 percent of revenue, representing significant progress towards the company’s target model. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations totaled $0.26, an increase of 60 percent sequentially. The reconciling charges are set forth in the financial measures table included below.

The company ended the quarter with approximately $644 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Business Summary

During the second quarter, growth was driven by strength in the broadcast and microcontroller product lines. Strong demand from certain handset customers and increasing diversification in non-handset applications resulted in a double-digit broadcast revenue increase. The company also began to ship its new FM transmitter in the second quarter as planned.

The MCU business continued to grow across consumer, industrial and networking applications. The company believes that recent new product introductions and future products under development as part of the MCU roadmap will significantly expand the company’s served available market over time.

“We believe that improved visibility into the next two quarters and current business trends support the company’s annual growth targets,” said Necip Sayiner, president and chief executive officer of Silicon Laboratories. “The margin leverage in our new business model will really become impactful as we grow our revenue in the second half of the year.”

For the third quarter of 2007, the company believes revenue in all of its core product lines will experience growth and is guiding revenue in the range of $81 to $84 million.
