Skyworks Reports Q2 FY20 Results
Delivers Revenue of $766.1 Million
Posts GAAP Diluted EPS of $1.06; Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $1.34
Generates $280.4 Million in Cash Flow from Operations
Ended Quarter with $1.1 Billion in Cash and Investments and No Debt

IRVINE, Calif., May 4, 2020 – Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS), an innovator of high-performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, today reported second fiscal quarter results for the period ended March 27, 2020. Revenue for the second fiscal quarter was $766.1 million.
On a GAAP basis, operating income for the second fiscal quarter of 2020 was $199.5 million with diluted earnings per share of $1.06. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $248.7 million with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.34.
“The COVID-19 outbreak is impacting individuals, companies, governments and markets across the globe, and our thoughts are with all those who have endured the effects of this global pandemic,” said Liam K. Griffin, president and chief executive officer of Skyworks.
“By enabling always-on, high-speed connectivity, Skyworks’ wireless technologies are essential for adapting to today’s rapidly changing business conditions and are playing a critical role in virus containment efforts worldwide. Skyworks’ trusted solutions are connecting people throughout the world enabling telemedicine and emergency response applications, as well as supporting shelter-in-place efforts through remote work and online education.
“Looking forward, our sustained investment in systems-level solutions, together with our strong balance sheet and cash-generation abilities, differentiates Skyworks as both a leading technology innovator and consistent provider of cash returns to stockholders.”

Third Fiscal Quarter 2020 Outlook
We provide earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis because certain information necessary to reconcile such guidance to GAAP is difficult to estimate and dependent on future events outside of our control. Please refer to the attached Discussion Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this press release for a further discussion of our use of non-GAAP measures, including quantification of known expected adjustment items.

“Given the supply chain and demand disruptions associated with COVID-19, visibility is limited for the June quarter, resulting in a wider revenue range compared to prior quarters,” said Kris Sennesael, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Skyworks. “Specifically, in the third fiscal quarter of 2020, we anticipate revenue to be between $670 and $710 million with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.13 at the midpoint of our revenue range.” This guidance is based on our current expectations of customer demand and our continued ability to manufacture and ship products, each of which could be impacted by COVID-19, as discussed further below.

Dividend Payment
Skyworks’ Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.44 per share of the Company’s common stock, payable on June 11, 2020, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 21, 2020.

COVID-19 Update
As announced on April 14, 2020, we temporarily suspended our manufacturing operations in Mexicali, Mexico, pursuant to an order by the government of the state of Baja California, Mexico, in an






effort to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. After working in close collaboration with state and local officials in Mexicali, on April 27, 2020, we were given permission to resume our Mexicali operations. In resuming the Mexicali operations, we continue to employ safety protocols in accordance with applicable guidance from government officials. We do not expect that the temporary suspension of our Mexicali operations experienced in April will have a significant impact on the company’s overall business operations.
Other than the temporary suspension of manufacturing activities in Mexicali, to date we have not experienced any significant disruptions to our ongoing operations or to our supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, Skyworks continues to implement multiple protocols in its facilities worldwide, including social distancing, pre-shift temperature screening, enhanced use of personal protective equipment, heightened sanitation standards and remote-work options wherever possible. In addition, Skyworks continues to implement rotating shifts with reduced staffing at its various manufacturing sites. Implementation of these protective measures allows Skyworks to better safeguard employee health while simultaneously maintaining business and manufacturing operations and continuing to provide products critical to sectors deemed “essential” under the applicable laws, regulations and orders of the jurisdictions in which the company has facilities.

SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC.
DISCUSSION REGARDING THE USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Our earnings release contains some or all of the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”): (i) non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, (iii) non-GAAP net income, and (iv) non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. As set forth in the “Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table found above, we derive such non-GAAP financial measures by excluding certain expenses and other items from the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, forecast for future periods, compare our operating performance against peer companies and determine payments under certain compensation programs. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-recurring expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and competitors more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce management’s ability to make forecasts.

We provide investors with non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share because we believe it is important for investors to be able to closely monitor and understand changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures give investors an additional method to evaluate historical operating performance and identify trends, an additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance and a method to facilitate certain comparisons of our operating results to those of our peer companies. We also believe that providing non-GAAP operating income and operating margin allows investors to assess the extent to which our ongoing operations impact our overall financial performance. We further believe that providing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share allows investors to assess the overall financial performance of our ongoing operations by eliminating the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, settlements, gains, losses and impairments, restructuring-related charges, certain deferred executive compensation and certain tax items which may not occur in each period presented and which may represent non-cash items unrelated to our ongoing operations. We believe that disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures contributes to enhanced financial reporting transparency and provides investors with added clarity about complex financial performance measures.

We calculate non-GAAP gross profit by excluding from GAAP gross profit, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, settlements, gains, losses and impairments, and restructuring-related charges. We calculate non-GAAP operating income by excluding from GAAP operating income, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, settlements, gains, losses and impairments, restructuring-related charges, and certain deferred executive compensation. We calculate non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share by excluding from GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, settlements, gains, losses and impairments, restructuring-related charges, certain deferred executive compensation, and certain tax items. We exclude the items identified above from the respective non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to each such excluded item below:

Share-Based Compensation - because (1) the total amount of expense is partially outside of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price volatility and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expense is incurred, (2) it is an expense based upon a valuation methodology premised on assumptions that vary over time, and (3) the amount of the expense can vary significantly between companies due to factors that can be outside of the control of such companies.

Acquisition-Related Expenses - including such items as, when applicable, amortization of acquired intangible assets, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, fair value charges incurred upon the sale of acquired inventory, and acquisition-related expenses because they are not considered by management in making operating decisions and we believe that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to our future business operations and thereby including such charges does not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges or reversals are incurred.

Restructuring-Related Charges - because these charges have no direct correlation to our future business operations and including such charges or reversals does not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges or reversals are incurred.







Settlements, Gains, Losses and Impairments - because such settlements, gains, losses and impairments (1) are not considered by management in making operating decisions, (2) are infrequent in nature, (3) are generally not directly controlled by management, (4) do not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recognized and/or (5) can vary significantly in amount between companies and make comparisons less reliable.

Deferred Executive Compensation - including charges related to any contingent obligation pursuant to an executive severance agreement, because that expense has no direct correlation with our recurring business operations and including such expenses or reversals does not accurately reflect the compensation expense for the period in which incurred.

Certain Income Tax Items - including certain deferred tax charges and benefits that do not result in a current tax payment or tax refund and other adjustments, including but not limited to, items unrelated to the current fiscal year or that are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in the table above should not be considered in isolation and are not an alternative for the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to each such non-GAAP financial measure. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures and are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures may have limited value as analytical tools because they may exclude certain expenses that some investors consider important in evaluating our operating performance or ongoing business performance. Further, non-GAAP financial measures are likely to have limited value for purposes of drawing comparisons between companies as a result of different companies potentially calculating similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures in different ways because non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

Our earnings release contains forward-looking estimates of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of our 2020 fiscal year (“Q3 2020”). We provide this non-GAAP measure to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) that we provide it to investors on a historical basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking estimate of Q3 2020 GAAP diluted earnings per share to a forward-looking estimate of Q3 2020 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of GAAP diluted earnings per share for Q3 2020 (other than estimated share-based compensation expense of $0.20 to $0.25 per diluted share, estimated amortization of intangibles of $0.04 to $0.06 per diluted share and certain tax items of -$0.05 to $0.05 per diluted share) is difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control. Such events may include unanticipated changes in our GAAP effective tax rate, unanticipated one-time charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets, inventory, intangibles or goodwill), unanticipated acquisition-related expenses, expenses related to the temporary suspension of our Mexicali operations, unanticipated settlements, gains, losses and impairments and other unanticipated non-recurring items not reflective of ongoing operations. The probable significance of these unknown items, in the aggregate, is estimated to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.10 in quarterly earnings per diluted share on a GAAP basis. Our forward-looking estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as statements of fact.
