Press Release

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), a global leader in analog, mixed signal and digital semiconductors for mobile communications applications, today announced revenue of $191.5 million for the third fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2005, compared to revenue of $190.5 million in the previous quarter and $207.4 million in the same period a year ago. Results were consistent with the company's guidance provided last quarter and reflect the growth of the company's newest linear products and share gains in RF solutions, offset by softness among a subset of tier three cellular systems accounts.

GAAP operating income for the third fiscal quarter was $11.8 million, up 41 percent sequentially from $8.3 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2005 and compared to $17.8 million in the corresponding period a year ago. On a pro forma basis, operating income for the third fiscal quarter was $12.3 million, up 26 percent when compared to $9.8 million last quarter and versus $18.6 million for the same period a year ago. GAAP diluted earnings per share during the quarter was $0.05, while pro forma diluted earnings per share was $0.06, one cent ahead of consensus estimates.

"In the third fiscal quarter, Skyworks delivered another strong performance, meeting top line expectations and exceeding bottom line estimates, while strengthening the balance sheet. Our performance was driven by market adoption of our family of innovative linear products and newest RF solutions," said David J. Aldrich, Skyworks' president and chief executive officer. "Of special note, our 250 basis point sequential improvement to nearly 41 percent in gross margin exemplifies our progress in further diversifying into linear products, delivering higher levels of integration, and implementing operational efficiencies. These initiatives are the focused mission of Skyworks and are setting the stage for further gross margin expansion this year and the realization of our target model of 45 percent in 2006."

Business Outlook

As previously announced at the end of June, we fulfilled our obligation to provide assembly and test services to Conexant," said Allan M. Kline, Skyworks' vice president and chief financial officer. "Our revenue growth in the fourth fiscal quarter is being driven by the ramp of our linear products portfolio and traction with our EDGE and WCDMA solutions. Operationally, we expect gross margin to expand another 75 to 100 basis points, enabling an approximately 40 percent sequential improvement in our level of operating income."

(a) These charges primarily consist of a write-down of legacy
    technology licenses related to the Company's cellular systems
    business which was included in operating expenses, except for
    $0.9 million which was included in cost of goods sold.

(b) These charges represent certain costs incurred to implement
    facility consolidations.

(c) These charges represent an aggregate adjustment for the correction
    of an error in the manner in which the Company accounted for
    scheduled rent increases and amortization of leasehold
    improvements.

(d) During the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and for the three and nine
    months ended July 2, 2004, these charges represent a non-cash tax
    charge related to the utilization of pre-merger deferred tax
    assets. During the nine months ended July 1, 2005, these charges
    primarily represent non-cash charges related to the utilization of
    pre-merger deferred tax assets and a reduction in the expected
    benefit of foreign deferred tax assets resulting from a change in
    regulated foreign tax rates.

The above pro forma non-GAAP measures are based upon our unaudited
consolidated statements of operations for the periods shown. These
measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  However, the
Company  believes this information is useful in understanding the
results of operations.  Therefore, Skyworks provides this supplemental
information to enable investors to perform additional comparisons of
operating results and as a means to provide additional insight into
the Company's ongoing operations and economic performance.
