             Cirrus Logic Reports Fiscal Q2 2006 Financial Results;
            Revenue from Core Products Grows 11 Percent Sequentially


    AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2005--Cirrus Logic Inc.
(Nasdaq:CRUS), a leader in high-precision analog, mixed-signal and
embedded products for audio and industrial markets, today announced
financial results for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2006, which
ended Sept. 24, 2005.
    The company reported second quarter Fiscal Year 2006 revenue of
$50.5 million compared with $52.8 million in the prior fiscal quarter
ended June 25, 2005. Core product revenue for the second fiscal
quarter was $48.3 million related to our analog, mixed-signal and
embedded products, an increase of 11 percent compared with $43.7
million in revenue during the prior quarter and a three percent
increase year-over-year. Second-quarter gross margin was 53.2 percent
compared with 51.7 percent in the prior quarter. The gross margin for
its core products was 55.4 percent in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2006, down slightly from 56.3 percent in the prior quarter.
Combined research and development (R&D) and selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second fiscal quarter were
$26.4 million, compared with $28.0 million in the prior quarter. R&D
and SG&A expense included digital video related spending of
approximately $1.7 million, and there was also a $3.3 million
contingency related to excess leased office space. Without these
items, R&D and SG&A for the quarter was $21.4 million.
    Second fiscal quarter results also included a $2.3 million net
restructuring charge primarily related to the sale of the digital
video product line and a $207,000 foreign tax benefit. The net loss in
the second fiscal quarter was $99,000, or $0.00 per share. In the
prior quarter, the company reported net income of $26.0 million, or
$0.30 per diluted share, which included a $24.8 million net gain
related to a legal settlement. The non-GAAP net income for the quarter
was $6.8 million or $0.08 per diluted share as compared to a non-GAAP
net income of $4.3 million and $0.05 per diluted share in the previous
quarter.
    Total cash and marketable securities at the end of the second
fiscal quarter were $225.1 million, compared with $214.5 million at
the end of the prior fiscal quarter. Inventories were $17.0 million,
down 13 percent, or $2.5 million, from the end of the June quarter.
    On June 30, 2005, Cirrus Logic announced the completion of the
sale of its digital video product line assets to Magnum Semiconductor
in exchange for a non-controlling interest valued at $7.9 million.
    "I am pleased with the company's financial performance in Q2, as
we have completed the restructuring of the company around our core
analog mixed-signal and embedded products with our core products
showing sequential revenue growth of 11 percent," said David D.
French, president and chief executive officer, Cirrus Logic. "Our
focus on these product lines is leading us to sustained profitability,
strong gross margins and a solid cash position."

    Outlook and Guidance

    "We achieved better than expected core revenue growth of 11
percent due to strong seasonal purchasing patterns," French continued.
"However, we remain cautious as the traditional peak season nears
completion during our third fiscal quarter."

    Third Quarter FY 06 (ending December 24, 2005):

    --  Revenue is expected to range between $45 million and $49
        million;

    --  Gross margin is expected to be between 55 percent and 57
        percent;

    --  Combined R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to range between
        $20 million and $22 million;

    --  Cash generated from operations is estimated to be $5 million
        to $8 million.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

    Cirrus Logic reports its financials in accordance with GAAP, which
includes non-recurring items. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP is
included in the financial statements portion of this release as well

core product revenue, core product gross margin, core product R&D and
SG&A expense provided in this press release are non-GAAP numbers.
Non-GAAP results are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are
included solely for informational and comparative purposes. Cirrus
Logic management believes the non-GAAP financial information is useful
to investors because it can enhance the understanding of the results
and trends in our business, and therefore uses non-GAAP reporting
internally to evaluate and manage the company's operations. The
criteria for determining non-GAAP results may differ from other
companies' methods. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in
addition to, and not as a substitute for, the results prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
