ITEM 2.02         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.


        The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

        On January 19, 2005, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. announced its financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2004. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

        To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. uses non-GAAP financial measures of operating results, net income and earnings per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain charges and non-recurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain charges and non-recurring items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operations and economic performance. Additionally, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is contained in the attached press release.
