Cirrus Logic Reports Fiscal Third Quarter Revenue of $590.6 Million

CRUS

Smartphone Sales Drive Record Revenue

Cirrus Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRUS)today posted on its website at investor.cirrus.com the quarterly Shareholder Letter that contains the complete financial results for the third quarter fiscal year 2023, which ended December 24, 2022, as well as the company’s current business outlook.

“Cirrus Logic delivered record revenue in the December quarter, with sales driven above the high end of guidance by demand for smartphones,” said John Forsyth, Cirrus Logic president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, customer engagement across our product portfolio remained strong. We taped out our next-generation 22-nanometer smart codec and we made excellent progress on numerous other audio and high-performance mixed-signal products. Going forward, we will continue to leverage our intellectual property into other applications and markets as we target opportunities for incremental content, including in the areas of sensing, charging, and power. With a solid product roadmap and a deep commitment to innovation, we believe Cirrus Logic is well-positioned to drive further growth and product diversification in the future.”

Reported Financial Results – Third Quarter FY23

  • Revenue of $590.6 million;
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 50.2 percent and 50.3 percent;
  • GAAP operating expenses of $155.3 million and non-GAAP operating expenses of $123.2 million; and
  • GAAP earnings per share of $1.83 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $2.40.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information is included in the tables accompanying this press release.

Business Outlook – Fourth Quarter FY23

  • Revenue is expected to range between $340 million and $400 million;
  • GAAP gross margin is forecasted to be between 49 percent and 51 percent; and
  • Combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses are anticipated to range between $153 million and $159 million, including approximately $22 million in stock-based compensation expense, $8 million in amortization of acquired intangibles, and $3 million in acquisition-related costs.

Safe Harbor Statement

Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this news release contain forward-looking statements including our statements about our ability to leverage our intellectual property into other applications and markets including in the areas of sensing, charging, and power; our ability to drive incremental content, growth, and product diversification in the future; and our estimates for the fourth quarter fiscal year 2023 revenue, gross margin, combined research and development and selling, general and administrative expense levels, stock compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles and acquisition-related costs. In some cases, forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “project,” “believe,” “goals,” “opportunity,” “estimates,” “intend,” and variations of these types of words and similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to our plans, expectations, strategies, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, and readers should not place undue reliance on such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the effects of the global COVID-19 outbreak and the measures taken to limit the spread of COVID-19, including any disruptions to our business that could result from measures to contain the outbreak that may be taken by governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which we and our supply chain operate; the susceptibility of the markets we address to economic downturns, including as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19; increased industry-wide capacity constraints that may impact our ability to meet current customer demand, which could cause an unanticipated decline in our sales and damage our existing customer relationships and our ability to establish new customer relationships;the potential for increased prices due to capacity constraints in our supply chain, which, if we are unable to increase our selling price to our customers, could result in lower revenues and margins that could adversely affect our financial results;recent significant increases in inflation in the U.S and overseas; the level and timing of orders and shipments during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, customer cancellations of orders, or the failure to place orders consistent with forecasts, along with the risk factors listed in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 26, 2022 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov. The foregoing information concerning our business outlook represents our outlook as of the date of this news release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.
