Exhibit 99.1 AMIS Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2005 Results POCATELLO, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2005--AMIS Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMIS): -- Six month backlog increased seven percent sequentially -- Refinancing to cut future interest expense in half AMIS Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMIS), parent company of AMI Semiconductor, a leader in the design and manufacture of integrated mixed-signal solutions, today reported results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2005. Financial Results First quarter 2005 revenue was $115.9 million, a decrease of six percent sequentially and 10 percent below the first quarter of last year. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2005 was 46.4 percent, a decrease of 270 basis points sequentially, but an increase of 40 basis points year over year. Operating margin was 13.0 percent in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 210 basis points sequentially. Excluding amortization of acquisition related intangibles and costs related to our previously announced restructuring program, on a pro forma basis, operating margin was 14.3 percent, a decrease of 480 basis points sequentially and 320 basis points year over year. The Company reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2005 of $11.1 million, or $0.13 per share, compared to net income of $7.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2004 and net income of $13.5 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2004. First quarter net income includes pre-tax charges of $28.0 million relating to costs associated with the tender and redemption of the Company's 10 3/4 percent senior subordinated notes which was completed on April 1, 2005, and $6.8 million for the write-off of deferred financing and other costs associated with the prior senior credit facility and the notes. Excluding these charges and other aforementioned items, pro forma net income in the first quarter of 2005 was $10.6 million or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to pro forma net income of $14.2 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2004 and pro forma net income of $13.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2004. "Market conditions were as difficult as expected in the first quarter," said Christine King, president and chief executive officer. "However we are encouraged by order strength we saw later in the quarter. Our six month backlog increased seven percent to $108 million in the first quarter, and we believe first quarter will represent the trough in our quarterly revenues for the year." Cash at the end of the first quarter was $87.3 million, a decrease of $74.4 million sequentially, which includes a $75.8 million use of cash to pay for costs associated with the tender, and a reduction in long-term debt in conjunction with the refinancing. Capital expenditures were $3.7 million. Business Outlook "We expect our second quarter 2005 revenue to be up two to five percent as compared to first quarter," said David Henry, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "We anticipate second quarter gross margins to be flat to up 50 basis points sequentially. On a pro forma basis, we expect operating margins will be flat to up 100 basis points sequentially. Net interest expense for second quarter is expected to be between $2.2 and $2.4 million, roughly half of first quarter net interest expense as a result of our refinancing. We expect pro forma diluted earnings per share in the second quarter to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.14. We continue to expect capital expenditures for 2005 to be approximately seven percent of annual revenues. Depreciation and amortization is expected to be about $12.0 million in the second quarter."
