Skyworks Delivers Record Net Income with Diluted EPS of $0.13 on a Pro Forma Basis in First Fiscal Quarter of 2007
WOBURN, Mass., Jan 25, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS), an innovator of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling mobile connectivity, today announced first fiscal quarter revenue of $196 million, in line with prior guidance, and up 8 percent when compared to core revenue (i.e., excluding baseband sales) of $181 million in the same period a year ago. On October 2, 2006, Skyworks announced it was immediately ceasing its baseband operations and implementing a strategic restructuring to focus on its core analog and RF business. Please see www.skyworksinc.com/pressroom.asp for more details on this announcement.
On a pro forma basis, first fiscal quarter operating income was $22.9 million, up 97 percent from the prior quarter and 65 percent year-over-year, while net income was $21.4 million, a new company record, representing a 105 percent sequential increase, and translating into $0.13 of diluted earnings per share. GAAP operating income for the first fiscal quarter was $14.9 million, or 8 percent of sales, and includes $5.5 million of restructuring charges related to the company's previously announced exit of the baseband product area, $2.0 million of equity-based compensation in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123R, and $0.5 million of amortization. GAAP net income for the first fiscal quarter was $12.0 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.07, versus a net loss of $96 million and diluted loss per share of $0.60 in the prior quarter.
"Our record first fiscal quarter results demonstrate the financial leverage of the new Skyworks operating model," said David J. Aldrich, Skyworks' president and chief executive officer. "With an intensified focus on our differentiated product portfolio and increasing profitability, we plan to build on this foundation as we set the stage for several program ramps in 2007."

Business Outlook
"We anticipate revenue in the second fiscal quarter in the range of $180 million, with typical handset market seasonality offset by new product introductions," said Allan M. Kline, Skyworks' vice president and chief financial officer. "At the same time, we expect pro forma earnings per share between $0.09 and $0.11."
Estimated pro forma earnings per share exclude approximately $3.5 million of FASB Statement No. 123R-related expenses.
Pro forma results, which are a supplement to financial results based on GAAP, exclude certain charges including equity-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, baseband exit charges, and non-recurring items. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain charges and non-recurring items that may not be indicative of Skyworks' ongoing operations and economic performance.

(b) On October 2, 2006, the Company announced that it was exiting its baseband product area in order to focus on its core business encompassing linear products, power amplifiers, front-end modules and radio solutions. Restructuring and other charges recorded during the three months ended December 29, 2006 primarily consisted of $1.4 million related to the write-down of technology licenses and design software associated with the baseband product area and $4.1 million related to lease obligations associated with the shut-down of certain locations associated with the baseband product area.
The charges recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 primarily related to a continued reduction in the level of activity with the Company's cellular baseband product area. Approximately $0.4 million, $1.2 million and $0.2 million were included in cost of goods sold, research and development expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively.
© During the three months ended December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005, these charges primarily represent a non-cash tax charge related to the utilization of pre-merger deferred tax assets.
