November 4, 2024
Dear Shareholders,
In Q2 FY25, Cirrus Logic delivered record revenue and EPS for the September quarter, driven by strong demand for products shipping into smartphones and a higher-volume production week associated with typical seasonal product ramps. Revenue was $541.9 million, up 45 percent quarter over quarter and up 13 percent year over year. GAAP and non-GAAP operating profit were 24.3 percent and 28.8 percent, respectively, while GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share were $1.83 and $2.25, respectively.
During the quarter, our next-generation custom boosted amplifier and first 22-nanometer smart codec started shipping in recently launched smartphones. We also passed key milestones related to our laptop business as we secured our first high-volume mainstream design win with our latest PC codec and began shipping our first power product specifically designed for laptops in multiple tier-one customers’ devices. One of these new devices includes eight Cirrus Logic components, representing the breadth of our content opportunity in this market. While we are in the early stages of revenue contribution from our recently introduced laptop components, we are pleased with our progress to date. Furthermore, we plan to continue leveraging our mixed-signal design and advanced low-power signal processing expertise to capitalize on future growth opportunities.

Revenue and Gross Margin
Revenue for the September quarter was $541.9 million, up 45 percent quarter over quarter and up 13 percent year over year. Q2 FY25 revenue was near the top end of our guidance range due to strong demand for products shipping into smartphones. The increase in revenue on a sequential basis reflects higher unit volumes associated with new smartphone launches. The year-over-year increase in sales was driven by higher smartphone unit volumes and increased revenue associated with next-generation products. As we indicated in our Q1 FY25 shareholder letter, when comparing our September quarter to the equivalent quarter last year, we would note that in FY25 our September quarter began and ended one week later. Thus, it encompassed one week more of the higher-volume production associated with typical seasonal product ramps.
Q2 FY25 Letter to Shareholders

In the December quarter, we expect revenue to range from $480 million to $540 million, down six percent sequentially and down 18 percent year over year at the midpoint. When comparing our December quarter outlook to the equivalent quarter last year, guidance reflects one less week of revenue as FY24 was a 53-week fiscal year.
In Q2 FY25, revenue derived from our audio and high performance mixed-signal (HPMS) product lines represented 58 percent and 42 percent of total revenue, respectively. One customer contributed approximately 90 percent of total revenue in Q2 FY25. Our relationship with our largest customer remains outstanding, with continued strong design activity across a wide range of products. While we understand there is intense interest in this customer, in accordance with our policy, we do not discuss specifics about this business.

*Midpoint of guidance as of November 4, 2024
GAAP gross margin in the September quarter was 52.2 percent, compared to 50.5 percent in Q1 FY25 and 51.3 percent in Q2 FY24. Non-GAAP gross margin in the September quarter was 52.2 percent, compared to 50.6 percent in Q1 FY25 and 51.3 percent in Q2 FY24. On a sequential basis, the 160-basis point increase was mostly driven by a favorable product mix. On a year-over-year basis, the 90-basis point increase was largely due to a favorable product mix, offset in part by higher supply chain costs. In the December quarter, we expect gross margin to range from 51 percent to 53 percent.

Operating Profit, Tax, and EPS
Operating profit for Q2 FY25 was 24.3 percent on a GAAP basis and 28.8 percent on a non-GAAP basis. GAAP operating expense was $150.7 million and included $22.1 million in stock-based compensation and $1.9 million in amortization of acquisition intangibles. On a sequential basis, GAAP operating expense increased by $8.6 million primarily due to higher variable compensation and product development costs. This was offset by a reduction in employee-related expenses and the absence of a lease impairment. On a year-over-year basis, GAAP operating expense increased by $9.9 million largely due to higher employee-related expenses, increased variable compensation, and higher product development costs. This was offset by the absence of restructuring costs. Non-GAAP operating expense for the quarter was $126.8 million, up $8.8 million sequentially and $12.3 million year over year. The company’s total headcount exiting Q2 was 1,672.
Combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses for Q3 FY25 are expected to range from $148 million to $154 million, including approximately $22 million in stock-based compensation expense and $2 million in amortization of acquisition intangibles, resulting in a non-GAAP operating expense range between $124 million and $130 million.

*Reflects midpoint of combined R&D and SG&A guidance as of November 4, 2024

For the September quarter, GAAP tax expense was $37.9 million on GAAP pre-tax income of $140.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.0 percent. Non-GAAP tax expense for the quarter was $39.0 million on non-GAAP pre-tax income of $164.3 million, resulting in a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 23.8 percent. The GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates for the September quarter were unfavorably

impacted by a provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that requires companies to capitalize and amortize R&D expenses rather than deduct them in the current year. We continue to anticipate that the impact of capitalized R&D will become less pronounced as additional years of R&D expenses are amortized. We estimate that our FY25 non-GAAP effective tax rate will range from approximately 22 percent to 24 percent.
GAAP earnings per share for the September quarter was $1.83, compared to earnings per share of $0.76 the prior quarter and $1.34 in Q2 FY24. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the September quarter was $2.25, versus $1.12 in Q1 FY25 and $1.80 in Q2 FY24.
Balance Sheet
Our cash and investment balance at the end of Q2 FY25 was $706.6 million, down from $744.6 million the prior quarter and $352.5 million in Q2 FY24. Cash flow from operations for the September quarter was $8.2 million. During the quarter, we repurchased 356,432 shares at an average price of $140.26, returning $50.0 million of cash to shareholders in the form of buybacks. At the end of Q2 FY25, the company had $224.1 million remaining in its share repurchase authorization. Over the long term, we expect strong cash flow generation, and we will continue to evaluate potential uses of this cash, including investing in the business to pursue organic growth opportunities, M&A, and returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases.
Q2 FY25 inventory was $271.8 million, up from $232.6 million in Q1 FY25. In Q3 FY25, we expect a slight increase in inventory dollars from the prior quarter. As we move through FY25 and into FY26 we expect inventory to increase as we continue to fulfill demand and manage our wafer purchase commitments per our long-term capacity agreement with GlobalFoundries.
Company Strategy
We remain committed to our three-pronged strategy for growing our business: first, maintaining our leadership position in smartphone audio; second, increasing HPMS content in smartphones; and third, leveraging our strength in audio and HPMS to expand into additional applications and markets with both existing and new components.
Audio in Smartphones
This quarter we were particularly excited to see our next-generation custom boosted amplifier and our first 22-nanometer smart codec begin shipping in recently-launched smartphones. This custom boosted amplifier utilizes an innovative new architecture to deliver significant power and efficiency improvements while also reducing board space and the overall bill of materials for our customer’s products. The transition to a more advanced technology node for the smart codec enables design flexibility while also making meaningful improvements in performance, size, and power consumption. We are focused on consistently delivering high-quality products and expect both of these components to ship for multiple smartphone generations, providing us with sustained revenue contribution in the coming years. Additionally, a leading Android OEM introduced their latest flagship smartphone this past quarter featuring two of our boosted amplifiers. While the majority of our general market R&D investments are focused on developing products for new markets, we continue to engage with customers on next-generation flagship smartphones with our general market audio components.
Q2 FY25 Letter to Shareholders

HPMS in Smartphones
Looking beyond audio, we are excited about expanding our content in smartphones with HPMS solutions, which are expected to provide growth opportunities and revenue diversification. While we have several HPMS investments, our camera controllers have been a key product in driving this expansion. Since launching our first camera controller in 2020, the value of our camera-related content has steadily increased over time, including with the recent launch of new flagship smartphones. We were delighted to see the camera technology continue to be featured as an important differentiator in the new generation of devices. In this product cycle, we are benefiting from a more favorable overall mix of smartphones on the market that include our camera controllers. Our customer engagement and close engineering collaboration around our camera technology remains strong and we are working to identify further opportunities to enable advanced functionality and improve overall system performance. We are also pleased to see leading Android OEMs introduce a variety of flagship smartphones that utilize our HPMS components this fall. We continue to believe that there are opportunities for us in advanced power, sensing, and battery-related technologies, and we have a number of R&D programs underway that are focused on these areas. Customer engagement on these opportunities is encouraging, and we are actively pursuing sockets where we can deliver more efficient and flexible solutions through the integration of digital processing and control alongside analog circuits. Looking ahead, we anticipate that the investments we are making in this space today will continue to drive product diversification and revenue growth in the future.
Expanding Audio and HPMS into New Applications and Markets
Outside of smartphones, we are committed to leveraging our intellectual property and engineering capabilities to expand into new applications and markets. We continue to gain traction in the laptop market, where the desire for higher-quality audio and the trend towards thinner, lighter, and more energy-efficient designs, make our components increasingly attractive. These trends combined with the emergence of AI-enabled laptop platforms create numerous opportunities that Cirrus Logic can capitalize on, particularly related to power efficiency and user experience features. While we are in the early stages of revenue contribution from our recently introduced laptop components, we are on track with our expectations in this market and passed several key milestones during the quarter. That progress included securing our first high-volume mainstream design win with our latest PC codec that features both our best-in-class hardware as well as audio algorithms for enhanced audio playback and speaker tuning to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, we are pleased to have begun shipping our first power product specifically designed for laptops in multiple tier-one customers’ devices. One of these new laptops has eight Cirrus Logic components, including a codec, amplifiers, and power conversion ICs. This laptop showcases the breadth of our content opportunity as our solutions enable compelling user experiences and improve battery life. We are encouraged by the strong customer engagement in this space and anticipate a growing number of end products featuring our components to come to market over the next year.
While laptops represent a significant growth opportunity outside of smartphones, we continue to see excitement surrounding our recently launched series of high-performance audio data converters. These components advance our long-held market leadership in audio performance and deliver differentiating features without compromising on power efficiency. We are engaged with dozens of customers and expect the first devices featuring the components to come to market in early 2025. Expanding on this world class portfolio, we also have multiple new products being introduced in the coming quarters targeting professional audio, consumer, and industrial end markets. Looking ahead, we expect to leverage our portfolio of technologies to expand our reach in additional applications and markets.
