Cirrus Logic Reports Fiscal First Quarter Revenue of $317.0 Million

Cirrus Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRUS) today posted on its website at investor.cirrus.com the quarterly Shareholder Letter that contains the complete financial results for the first quarter fiscal year 2024, which ended June 24, 2023, as well as the company’s current business outlook.

“Cirrus Logic reported revenue for the June quarter towards the top end of guidance as we benefited from higher-than-expected unit volumes,” said John Forsyth, Cirrus Logic president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, we taped out our next-generation boosted amplifier, completed product validation on our first 22-nanometer smart codec, and began ramping production of our latest camera controller. We also made progress on product and end-market diversification as we gained momentum in laptops and began selectively refreshing certain core product lines that are expected to drive expansion outside of smartphones.”

Reported Financial Results – First Quarter FY24

  • Revenue of $317.0 million;
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 50.3 percent and 50.4 percent;
  • GAAP operating expenses of $141.6 million and non-GAAP operating expenses of $113.8 million; and
  • GAAP earnings per share of $0.28 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.67.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information is included in the tables accompanying this press release.

Business Outlook – Second Quarter FY24

  • Revenue is expected to range between $430 million and $490 million;
  • GAAP gross margin is forecasted to be between 49 percent and 51 percent; and
  • Combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses are anticipated to range between $141 million and $147 million, including approximately $22 million in stock-based compensation expense, $2 million in amortization of acquired intangibles, and $3 million in acquisition-related costs and restructuring charges associated with our recently announced workforce reduction.

Cirrus Logic will host a live Q&A session at 6 p.m. EDT today to discuss its financial results and business outlook. Participants may listen to the conference call on the investor relations website at investor.cirrus.com. A replay of the webcast can be accessed on the Cirrus Logic website approximately two hours following its completion or by calling (647) 362-9199, or toll-free at (800) 770-2030 (Access Code: 95424).

Use of non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement Cirrus Logic's financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the company has provided non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP net income, diluted earnings per share, diluted share count, operating income and profit, operating expenses, gross margin and profit, tax expense, tax expense impact on earnings per share, effective tax rate, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin.

Safe Harbor Statement

Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this news release contain forward-looking statements including our statements about our ability to make progress with product and end-market diversification and refresh certain core product lines that are expected to drive expansion outside of smartphones; and our estimates for the second quarter fiscal year 2024 revenue, gross margin, combined research and development and selling, general and administrative expense levels, stock compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles and acquisition-related costs and restructuring charges associated with our recently announced workforce reduction. In some cases, forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “project,” “believe,” “goals,” “opportunity,” “estimates,” “intend,” and variations of these types of words and similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to our plans, expectations, strategies, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, and assumptions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, and readers should not place undue reliance on such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: our ability to develop and ramp new products in a timely manner, including our next-generation boosted amplifier, our first 22-nm smart codec, and latest camera controller; our ability to commercialize new research and development efforts into new markets outside of smartphones; and the level and timing of orders and shipments during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, customer cancellations of orders, or the failure to place orders consistent with forecasts, along with the risk factors listed in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 25, 2023 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov. The foregoing information concerning our business outlook represents our outlook as of the date of this news release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is GAAP cash flow from operations (or cash provided by operating activities) less capital expenditures. Capital expenditures include purchases of property, equipment and software as well as investments in technology, as presented within our GAAP Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows. Free cash flow margin represents free cash flow divided by revenue.
