Cirrus Logic Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2000 Results

Sequential Growth in Net Revenues and Operating Profit

FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2000--Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS ) today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2000, which ended December 25, 1999. Net revenues grew to $150.8 million, approximately 13 percent over the prior quarter. Net income was $27.9 million compared to a net loss of $9.4 million in the prior quarter. Diluted net earnings per share was $0.40 compared to a diluted per share loss of $0.15 in the prior quarter.

Included in net income was a $34.3 million gain on the partial sale of the company's investment in marketable securities of Phone.com Inc. (Nasdaq: PHCM). On a pro forma basis, income from operations, before net interest expense, would be approximately $6.0 million compared to $3.2 million, on a comparable basis in the prior quarter. Pro forma income from operations excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets, asset abandonment charges, and acquired in-process R&D. On a pro forma basis, after net interest expense, the net income would be approximately $0.05 per share.

``We're pleased once again to report sequential growth, further demonstrating the early success of the new Cirrus Logic,'' said David D. French, president and chief executive officer. ``Thanks to the continuing expansion of our bookings and backlog during the December-ended quarter, we continue to be positive about the progress we have achieved, as we set our sights on being the leading provider of high-performance analog and DSP solutions for entertainment appliances.'' French noted that the fiscal Q3 revenue increase was fueled by record demand for the company's market-leading Crystal (R) audio products as well as a ramp to high-volume shipments of its highly integrated 3Ci chip for hard disk drives and record shipments of its encoder/decoder chips for CD-RW drives.

Cirrus Logic is a premier supplier of high-performance analog circuits and advanced mixed-signal chip solutions. The company's products, sold under its own name and the Crystal® product brand, enable system-level applications in mass storage, audio and precision data conversion.
