EXHIBIT 99.1 AMIS Holdings, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results; Revenue Increased 9% Sequentially, Surpassing $150 Million for the First Time; Six Month Backlog Increased 9% Sequentially to a Record $184 Million POCATELLO, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2006--AMIS Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMIS), parent company of AMI Semiconductor, a leader in the design and manufacture of integrated mixed-signal solutions, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 2006. Financial Results Second quarter 2006 revenue was $150.7 million, an increase of nine percent sequentially and 23 percent compared to the second quarter of 2005. Second quarter 2005 revenue did not include revenues from the acquisition of the Flextronics semiconductor business, which occurred in September 2005. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2006 was 45.2 percent, representing a decline of 30 basis points sequentially and 390 basis points year over year. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2005 included a 220 basis point net reduction in cost of revenue that was primarily the result of a capital spending and employment investment grant from the Belgian government. Operating margin was 9.1 percent in the second quarter of 2006, a decline of 20 basis points sequentially and 670 basis points year over year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the second quarter of 2006 was 15.1 percent, flat sequentially, but down 250 basis points year over year. Non-GAAP operating margin for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005 excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and restructuring charges. In addition, the Company began expensing stock options in the first quarter of 2006, and second quarter 2006 non-GAAP operating income excludes $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense. Net income for second quarter 2006 was $8.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.3 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the same period in 2005. Non-GAAP net income for second quarter 2006 was $15.1 million or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $12.9 million or $0.15 per diluted share in second quarter 2005. Second quarter 2006 and 2005 non-GAAP net income exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and restructuring charges, net of tax effects. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the second quarter of 2006 also excludes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.02 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2005 includes a $2.8 million net reduction in cost of revenue from the Belgian government grant discussed above as well as a charge to income taxes of $2.3 million to write-down the Company's deferred tax assets based on a lower blended U.S. statutory rate in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Revenue for the first six months of 2006 was $289.3 million, an increase of 21 percent compared to the first six months of 2005. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $16.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005. Non-GAAP net income for the first six months of 2006 was $29.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $23.5 million or $0.27 per diluted share in the first six months of 2005. Non-GAAP net income for the first six months of 2006 excludes the same items described above for the second quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP net income for the first six months of 2005 excludes charges related to debt refinancing activities in the first quarter 2005 in addition to the adjustments described above for the second quarter of 2005. "I am pleased with the operational improvements we made in the second quarter," stated Christine King, president and chief executive officer. "We succeeded in increasing delivery performance which helped us realize a record level of revenue during the quarter. Though more work remains to be done to optimize operations, results from the quarter highlight our ability to grow the top line. I am encouraged by the strength of our backlog entering the third quarter, and I'm optimistic about our ability to grow revenue sequentially for the reminder of the year, driven primarily by anticipated growth in the automotive market as well as continued strength in the industrial market." The Company generated operating cash flow during the quarter of $17.2 million, bringing cash at the end of the quarter to $108.5 million, a sequential increase of $5.6 million. Capital expenditures during second quarter 2006 were $9.8 million. Business Outlook "Steady progress is being made in improving our operational performance," said David Henry, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Action plans have been implemented and we expect continued improvement during the rest of the year. Our guidance for the third quarter of 2006 is as follows: -- Revenue is expected to be up 2 percent sequentially; -- Gross margin is expected to be approximately 45 percent; -- Non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be approximately 15 percent; -- On a non-GAAP basis, our effective tax rate for the third quarter is expected to be 17 to 19 percent; -- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be approximately $0.17; -- Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense is expected to be in the range of $2.3 - $2.5 million, or approximately $0.02 per diluted share; -- Capital expenditures for the year are expected to remain at approximately eight percent of annual revenues."
