Exhibit 99.1 AMIS Holdings, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results POCATELLO, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2004--AMIS Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMIS): -- Record revenue in second quarter -- Gross margins for the quarter increased for the sixth consecutive quarter, improving 310 basis points year over year -- Operating margins increased to 18.7 percent -- Fully diluted EPS for second quarter grew 13 percent to $0.18 AMIS Holdings, Inc. ("AMIS" or "Company") (Nasdaq:AMIS), parent company of AMI Semiconductor, a leader in the design and manufacture of integrated mixed-signal solutions, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 26, 2004. Financial Results Second quarter 2004 revenue was $134.5 million, an increase of five percent over the first quarter 2004 revenue and 24 percent above the second quarter of last year. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2004 was 46.8 percent, an increase of 100 basis points sequentially and 310 basis points year over year. Operating income was $25.2 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared to first quarter operating income of $22.2 million and an operating loss of $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2003. Operating margins were 18.7 percent in the second quarter, up 140 basis points sequentially. Second quarter 2003 results included an impairment charge of $20.0 million. Excluding this charge, pro forma operating income grew 89 percent year over year. There were no pro forma adjustments to the 2004 information. Net income for the second quarter of 2004 increased 14 percent sequentially to $15.4 million, or $0.18 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $13.5 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of 2004 and a net loss of $7.3 million or $(0.49) per share for the second quarter of 2003. Excluding the impairment charge and the related tax effects, pro forma net income in the second quarter of 2003 was $4.6 million, or $(0.23) per share. Revenue for the first six months of 2004 increased 24.4 percent to $262.8 million from $211.2 million in the first six months of 2003. Net income for the first six months of 2004 was $28.9 million, or $0.33 per fully diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million in the first six months of 2003, or $(0.79) per share. This is an increase of 221 percent when compared to pro forma net income for the first six months of 2003 of $9.0 million, or $(0.47) per share. Pro forma net income and loss per share for the first six months of 2003 exclude an impairment charge, write-off of deferred financing fees, settlement of hedge transactions, and the tax effects related to each of these. Earnings per share for the second quarter and first six months of 2003, on both a GAAP and a pro forma basis, were impacted by a preferred stock dividend. "AMIS generated record-breaking revenue in the second quarter of 2004 and revenue growth for the sixth consecutive quarter," said Christine King, president and chief executive officer. "Our record revenue was driven by our integrated mixed-signal product line, which increased seven percent sequentially. This growth was centered in the automotive and industrial end markets. Structured digital products improved nine percent sequentially, driven by higher revenues in the communications and military end markets. Our mixed-signal foundry services revenue decreased three percent sequentially, due to the expected decline in STMicroelectronics revenue related to the expiration of a take-or-pay foundry arrangement." Operating cash flow for the second quarter was $19.0 million and capital expenditures were $6.5 million. Cash at June 26, 2004 was $127.5 million, up $10.8 million sequentially. "I am very pleased with our second quarter financial results," stated King. "We continue to sustain our margin growth through operational efficiencies. However, bookings dropped on a run-rate basis from our record first quarter level. Six-month backlog has returned to year-end levels. We continue to see strength in the automotive and industrial end markets. We also had excellent computing and military orders during the quarter, but we expect this to be offset by softness in the communications market, due to the STMicroelectronics business as well as in the medical end market. In summary, the fundamentals of our business remain strong." Business Outlook "We expect our third quarter revenue to be roughly flat as compared to second quarter, due to the decline in STMicroelectronics revenue related to the expiration of a take-or-pay foundry arrangement," said David Henry, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Excluding revenues from STMicroelectronics, we expect revenue to be up two to three percent in third quarter, as compared to second quarter. We anticipate gross margins and operating margins to each improve 50 basis points over the second quarter, which will help offset an anticipated increase in our effective tax rate to between 27 percent and 29 percent in the third quarter. Fully diluted earnings per share is expected to be about $0.18. We continue to expect capital expenditures for the year to be approximately seven percent of annual revenues. Depreciation and amortization is planned to be about $10.8 million in the third quarter."
