Exhibit 99.1 AMIS Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results -- Record Revenue of $159.3 Million, Up 6% Sequentially POCATELLO, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 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 third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Financial Results Third quarter 2006 revenue was $159.3 million, an increase of six percent sequentially and 27 percent compared to the third quarter of 2005. Excluding $22.3 million of revenue in the third quarter from the Flextronics semiconductor business and $1.4 million from the acquisitions of the Starkey design center and the select businesses of NanoAmp, organic revenue was a record $135.6 million, up 11 percent year over year. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2006 was 43.8 percent, representing a decline of 140 basis points sequentially and 520 basis points year over year. The sequential decline in gross margin was driven primarily by an unfavorable product mix and some inventory-related charges. Operating margin was 9.6 percent in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 50 basis points sequentially but a decrease of 420 basis points year over year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the third quarter of 2006 was 14.4 percent, down 70 basis points sequentially and 220 basis points year over year. The sequential decline in non-GAAP operating margin was driven by lower gross margin and lower sequential development revenues. Non-GAAP operating margin for the third 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 third quarter 2006 non-GAAP operating income excludes approximately $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense. Net income for third quarter 2006 was $8.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.7 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the same period in 2005. Non-GAAP net income for third quarter 2006 was $14.6 million or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $14.8 million or $0.17 per diluted share in third quarter 2005. Third 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 third quarter of 2006 also excludes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.02 per diluted share. Revenue for the first nine months of 2006 was $448.6 million, an increase of 23 percent compared to the first nine months of 2005. Net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $25.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005. Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $44.5 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $38.2 million or $0.43 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2005. Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 excludes the same items described above. Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2005 also excludes charges related to debt refinancing activities in the first quarter 2005. "I am very pleased with our ability to deliver back-to-back quarters of record revenue," stated Christine King, chief executive officer. "In addition, our target markets remain healthy and new product introductions are on plan for the year. Although our third quarter margins were disappointing we are focused on generating greater margin leverage. Based on the margin improvement plans we have in place, I expect to see positive results in the fourth quarter. " The Company generated operating cash flow during the quarter of $25.2 million. Cash at the end of the quarter was $91.5 million, a sequential decrease of $17.0 million due primarily to payments for acquisitions during the quarter. Capital expenditures during third quarter 2006 were $12.9 million. In connection with the September 2006 preparation and filing of the Company's federal tax return for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company discovered that it had provided incorrect amounts of income tax expense in its financial statements in 2005 and the first two quarters of 2006 due to a misapplication of federal tax rules applicable to transactions between the Company and its foreign subsidiaries. The problem first occurred in the fourth quarter of 2005. As a result, the Company determined it must restate its previously reported financial statements for 2005 and the first two quarters of 2006. The effect of this restatement in 2005 is to increase net income by approximately $1.1 million and increase earnings per share by $0.02 on a GAAP basis and $0.01 on a non-GAAP basis. For 2006, the restatement in first quarter will increase net income by approximately $0.1 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share by $0.01. However there will be no impact to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. In the second quarter, net income will increase by approximately $0.1 million, with no impact on diluted earnings per share on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. These restatements do not affect the income amounts reported for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2005. The restatements have no impact on previously reported net cash flow from operations in any period. The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 in this press release has been restated to reflect this change. Business Outlook "We expect that third quarter will represent the trough in our margins," said David Henry, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Key operational initiatives are in place and management's main focus is on improving margin leverage on both a short-term and long-term basis. Some of the effects of these actions can be seen in our balance sheet, as days of inventory in the third quarter declined 8 days sequentially. Our guidance for the fourth quarter of 2006 is as follows: -- Revenue is expected to be flat sequentially; -- Gross margin is expected to increase 50 basis points sequentially; -- Non-GAAP operating margin is expected to increase by approximately 50 to 100 basis points sequentially; -- On a non-GAAP basis, our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter is expected to be 19 to 20 percent; -- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be approximately $0.17 to $0.18; -- Stock-based compensation expense is expected to decrease GAAP diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.02; -- Capital expenditures for the year are expected to remain at approximately eight percent of annual revenues." Conference Call and Webcast Information Christine King, CEO, along with David Henry, senior vice president and CFO, will host a conference call on October 26, 2006 at 5 p.m. ET, to discuss the Company's third quarter financial results and its updated business outlook. The web simulcast of this call will be available under the investor relations section of the Company's web site at http://www.amis.com. A webcast replay will be available at that same location until close of business November 9, 2006.
