Cirrus Logic Announces Preliminary Q3 Revenue Grows 28 Percent Year Over Year to $122 Million

Company Expects Q4 Revenues of Approximately $105 Million, an Increase of 15 Percent Year Over Year

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 9, 2012--Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS) today announced estimated net revenue based on preliminary unaudited financial results for the third fiscal quarter, which ended on Dec. 31, 2011, of approximately $122 million. Previously, the company anticipated revenue to be between $102 million and $108 million. Revenue from audio products is estimated at $105 million and revenue from energy products is expected to be approximately $17 million.

The company expects gross margin to be approximately 54 percent and combined R&D and SG&A expenses are estimated to be approximately $600,000 above the upper end of guidance, due primarily to additional product development expenses.

“Q3 was a great quarter for Cirrus Logic, and we are particularly pleased that the last few weeks of the quarter were much stronger than we had anticipated, indicating that demand remains robust following the holiday season,” said Jason Rhode, president and chief executive officer. “More importantly, we also achieved all of our key product release milestones thanks to outstanding efforts by our product development teams. We are very excited about our outlook for 2012, and efficiently getting our newest audio and energy products into full production is one more critical step towards capitalizing on some extraordinary opportunities.”

At this early stage in the March quarter, the company is currently expecting revenue of approximately $105 million, which represents year over year revenue growth of approximately 15 percent. The company will post its full third quarter, fiscal year 2012 financial results and Q4 business outlook on its investor relations area of its website at http://investor.cirrus.com on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012, at approximately 4:00 p.m. ET.
