                 LSI LOGIC EXCEEDS Q1 BOTTOM LINE EXPECTATIONS;
                  ON COURSE FOR 2002 SECOND HALF PROFITABILITY

MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA -- LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today reported $413
million in revenues in the first quarter of 2002, a 1.6 percent increase over
the $406 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2001, and a 20 percent
decrease from the $517 million reported in the first quarter of 2001.

Pro forma 2002 first quarter net loss was $42 million or 12 cents a diluted
share, a $32 million improvement over the pro forma fourth quarter 2001 net loss
of $74 million or 20 cents a diluted share. The company reported pro forma net
income of $9.5 million or 3 cents a diluted share in the first quarter of 2001.
Cash and short-term investments totaled $967 million at the end of the 2002
first quarter.

"LSI Logic revenues grew in the first quarter and exceeded bottom line
expectations, despite normal seasonality in the consumer electronics sector,"
said Wilfred J. Corrigan, LSI Logic chairman and chief executive officer. "Our
Communications, Storage and Storage Systems businesses gathered momentum in the
first quarter as the high-technology sector underwent the first stages of
recovery.

"We anticipate that all of our businesses -- Communications, Consumer, Storage
Components and Storage Systems -- will grow in the second quarter. Our backlog
is increasing and bookings in the first three weeks of the present quarter are
running ahead of the comparable period in the first quarter. We are projecting
the restoration of profitability in the second half of 2002. We are confident
that the industry recovery is underway and we expect that resurgent
communications, consumer and storage markets will drive the next industry growth
cycle."

The first quarter (GAAP*) net loss was $172 million or 47 cents a diluted share,
a $78 million improvement over the fourth quarter (GAAP) net loss of $250
million or 68 cents a diluted share. The 2001 first quarter (GAAP) net loss was
$31 million or 10 cents a diluted share.

"The company embarked on a series of strategic actions during 2001 and the first
quarter, specifically designed to realign operating expenses, streamline
manufacturing and refocus company resources on markets where we have leadership
positions," said Bryon Look, LSI Logic executive vice president and chief
financial officer. "We believe the direct result of these actions will be an




accelerated return to profitability and a stronger LSI Logic competitive
presence in our targeted communications, consumer and storage markets."

* Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)

                           LSI LOGIC BUSINESS OUTLOOK

LSI Logic expects 2002 Q2 revenues to grow between 3 to 6 percent sequentially
from the $413 million reported in the first quarter.

The company anticipates reporting a pro forma second quarter loss of about 9
cents a diluted share and gross margin in the range of 35-37 percent.

The company does not anticipate selling any equity investments in the second
quarter.

The second quarter pro forma tax provision is expected to be a charge of
approximately $4 million.

Capital spending is expected to be less than $30 million in the second quarter
and under $200 million for 2002.

Second quarter depreciation is projected to be about $64 million.

The second quarter diluted common share count will be approximately 370 million.

Pro forma statements of operations are intended to present the Company's
operating results, excluding special items described below, for the periods
presented.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2002, the special items
represented additional excess inventory and related charges, amortization of
acquisition related items including intangibles and non-cash deferred stock
compensation, restructuring of operations and other non-recurring items, net,
and a $22 million tax benefit as a result of changes in the tax laws in the
first quarter of 2002.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2001, the special items
represented amortization of acquisition related items including intangibles and
non-cash deferred stock compensation.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2002, the pro forma statements are
prepared using the Company's calculated tax expense of $4,250 when excluding
special items. For the three month period ended March 31, 2001, the pro forma
statements are prepared using the Company's calculated tax rate of 25% when
excluding special items.

In computing diluted pro forma loss per share for the three month period ended
March 31, 2002, common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of
diluted loss per share as a result of their antidilutive effect.

A reconciliation from pro forma net (loss)/income to the reported results is
presented on the following page.

The format presented above is not intended to be in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles.

    On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
    ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142
    changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an
    impairment-only approach. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142,
    amortization of goodwill and intangibles will be lower by approximately $112
    million in 2002 as compared to 2001 and approximately $952 million of
    goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles will no longer be amortized. For
    more information regarding the adoption of SFAS No. 142, please refer to our
    Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
