ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2004, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. will reduce the carrying value of a deferred tax
asset by $3.5 million. This charge originated primarily from foreign exchange translation errors after
establishing the tax benefit recorded for the impairment of its assembly and test machinery and equipment in
Mexicali, Mexico immediately following completion of the merger between Alpha Industries, Inc. and Conexant
Systems, Inc.'s wireless business in 2002. The cumulative effect of this adjustment is being recorded in the
provision for income taxes line of the statement of operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, as it did
not have a material impact in prior periods. Accordingly, the financial results within the company's fiscal 2004
10-K filing will reflect a $3.5 million reduction in net income, equating to $0.02 earnings per share, for both
the fourth fiscal quarter and full year.
The information furnished in this report is not deemed “filed” for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of
that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of
1933 or the Exchange Act, unless expressly incorporated by specific itemized reference in any such filing.
