SILICON LABORATORIES REPORTS RECORD REVENUE

—Company Delivers Strong Quarterly Performance and Outlook—

AUSTIN, Texas — Oct. 24, 2012 — Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today reported record third quarter revenue of $149.5 million, an impressive 25 percent increase compared to the third quarter of 2011. The company believes market share gains across the portfolio and record design win activity are enabling the business to outperform the end markets.

Financial Highlights

Third quarter revenue was up ten percent sequentially due to both organic growth and the additional revenue from an acquisition completed during the quarter. On a GAAP-basis, gross margin was 57.9 percent, which included one-time charges associated with the acquisition. R&D investment increased to $34.8 million, and SG&A expense decreased to $24.5 million. SG&A expense declined primarily due to an $8.1 million gain from the purchase of the company’s headquarters. Resulting GAAP operating income increased to 18.2 percent. Diluted GAAP earnings per share declined to $0.24 and included other charges related to the acquisition of Ember and a net gain from the purchase of the headquarters buildings.

The following non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock compensation and other one-time items. Gross margin was 61.0 percent for the quarter. Operating expenses decreased to 39.1 percent of sales. R&D increased to $31.7 million, and SG&A increased to $26.7 million due to the acquisition and increased variable compensation. Operating income, therefore, was better than expected at 21.9 percent of revenue. Strong revenue growth and operating performance resulted in significant earnings leverage. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was 61 cents, a 20 percent sequential increase. Reconciling charges are set forth in the financial measures table included below.

The company repurchased $14.9 million of stock and ended the quarter with $285 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments due to continued healthy cash flow from operations.

Business Highlights

All of the company’s major product categories, Access, Broadcast and Broad-based, grew sequentially again in the third quarter. The company believes it is benefiting from growth trends in energy efficiency, the Internet of Everything, and the explosion in demand for bandwidth, all of which drive an increasing need for mixed-signal ICs.

The Broad-based business was up 15 percent as the company’s microcontroller (MCU) products posted record revenue. The increase, driven by both organic growth and the acquisition of ZigBee® wireless products, resulted from market share gains in communications infrastructure, consumer devices, smart energy, home automation and security. The company’s power products benefited from customers’ redesigns of power systems and grew 20 percent sequentially.

The Broadcast business increased in both audio and video as consumer equipment makers continued to build ahead of the holidays. Design win traction remains very strong, with the company’s video products closing on the majority of 2013 TV models, enabling continued share gains into next year. The Access products also posted sequential growth due to new ramps in PBX systems, voice over cable and Power over Ethernet applications.

“Our Broad-based business has achieved critical mass, and with double-digit annual growth rates, it is on track to be the majority of our business as we exit the year,” said Tyson Tuttle, president and CEO of Silicon Laboratories. “We’ve aligned our product focus to capitalize on the most important trends impacting mixed-signal ICs, and I feel good about extending the breadth and quality of the growth we’re seeing in the business into 2013.”

The company expects revenue for the fourth quarter to be in the range of $145 to $150 million.
