Fiscal Year 2011 Revenue Climbs 67 Percent to $370 Million

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2011--Cirrus Logic, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS), a leader in high-precision analog and digital signal processing components, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011, which ended March 26, 2011.

Revenue for the quarter was $91.4 million, up 46 percent compared to $62.6 million in the same quarter a year ago, and down 4 percent sequentially from $95.6 million in the previous quarter. Revenue for fiscal year 2011 totaled $370 million, a 67 percent increase compared to $221 million in fiscal year 2010.

Gross margin for the quarter was 50 percent, and reflects the charge of $4.2 million related to the production issue the company disclosed on April 14, 2011. This compares to gross margins of 56 percent in the fourth quarter a year ago, and 55 percent in the previous quarter. The company’s long term gross margin target remains 55 percent. Gross margin for fiscal year 2011 was 55 percent, compared to 54 percent in fiscal year 2010.

Total GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $32.4 million, compared to $29.4 million in the previous quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $29.7 million compared to $28.0 million in the previous quarter.

GAAP operating margin was 15 percent for the March quarter and 23 percent for fiscal year 2011. Operating margin on a non-GAAP basis was 18 percent for the March quarter and 24 percent for fiscal year 2011.

GAAP net income for the quarter was $130.4 million, or $1.80 per share, based on 72.3 million average diluted shares outstanding and $203.5 million, or $2.82 per share, based on 72.1 million average diluted shares for fiscal year 2011. Net income includes a $117 million net tax benefit, as the company revalued the deferred tax asset due to improved business performance. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $16.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share and $89.3 million, or $1.24 per diluted share for fiscal year 2011.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP charges is included in a table below.

“FY11 was an outstanding year for Cirrus Logic, as we grew revenue 67 percent, maintained our 55 percent gross margins target, and increased operating profit from 13 percent to 24 percent on a non-GAAP basis,” said Jason Rhode, president and chief executive officer, Cirrus Logic. “We have made excellent progress on our strategic initiatives in both audio and energy, and we expect meaningful new product introductions from multiple customers throughout the year.”
