Infrastructure Market
Devices Support Growing Network Capacity Needs as Mobile Data Traffic Increases
WOBURN, Mass., May 24, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS),
an innovator of high reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling
a broad range of end markets, today introduced three wideband quadrature
modulators for cellular infrastructure and high performance radio link
applications. Skyworks' modulators are the latest additions to its wireless
infrastructure portfolio and designed to support the world's leading 3G and 4G
base station providers.
These new, fixed gain quadrature modulators deliver excellent phase accuracy and
amplitude balance enabling high performance for a variety of multi-carrier
communication systems. In addition, Skyworks' new modulators have greater than
500 megahertz (MHz) 3dB modulation bandwidth, a low noise floor, and a wide
operating frequency range that support multiband designs and network
requirements.
According to a recent In-Stat Mobile Internet Group research report,
infrastructure expenditures by mobile operators will need to scale up by more
than 40 percent in the coming years to meet fast approaching network demand. As a
result, mobile operators will not only need to install new base stations, routers
and backhaul network equipment, but will need to upgrade and expand existing
infrastructure to avoid network traffic jams and preserve their highly profitable
data service revenue, all of which will require increased analog and mixed signal
content.
"With the addition of these new modulators, Skyworks continues to capitalize on
the network infrastructure side of the mobile Internet phenomenon," said Liam K.
Griffin, Skyworks' executive vice president and general manager of high
performance analog. "Skyworks is pleased to offer our customers a multitude of
high performance, cost effective solutions as they build out their networks to
support the staggering increase in mobile data traffic."
About Skyworks' Quadrature Modulators
The SKY73077 (for 1500 to 2700 MHz), the SKY73078 (for 500 to 1500 MHz), and the
SKY73092 (for 400 to 6000 MHz), quadrature modulators contain high linearity,
excellent I/Q phase accuracy and amplitude balance -- making the devices ideal
for use in high performance communication systems. The modulators accept two
differential baseband inputs and a single-ended local oscillator, and generate a
single-ended RF output.
Pricing and Availability
Skyworks' new quadrature modulators are available now. For pricing please contact

SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC.
DISCUSSION REGARDING THE USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Our earnings release contains some or all of the following financial measures
which have not been calculated in accordance with United States Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP): (i) non-GAAP gross profit and gross
margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, (iii) non-GAAP net
income, and (iv) non-GAAP net income per share (diluted). As set forth in the
"Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table found above, we
derive such non-GAAP financial measures by excluding certain expenses and other
items from the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable
to each non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses these non-GAAP financial
measures to evaluate our operating performance and compare it against past
periods, make operating decisions, forecast for future periods, compare operating
performance against peer companies and determine payments under certain
compensation programs. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with
additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in
our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-recurring expenses (which may not
occur in each period presented) and other items that management believes might
otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and
competitors more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce
management's ability to make useful forecasts.
We provide investors with non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP
operating income and operating margin and non-GAAP net income because we believe
it is important for investors to be able to closely monitor and understand
changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations. We
believe these non-GAAP financial measures give investors an additional method to
evaluate historical operating performance and identify trends, additional means
of evaluating period-over-period operating performance and a method to facilitate
certain comparisons of operating results to peer companies. We also believe that
providing non-GAAP operating income and operating margin allows investors to
assess the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial
performance. We further believe that providing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP
net income per share (diluted) allows investors to assess the overall financial
performance of ongoing operations by eliminating the impact of certain financing
decisions related to our convertible debt and certain tax items which may not
occur in each period for which financial information is presented and which
represent gains or losses unrelated to our ongoing operations. We believe that
disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures contributes to enhanced financial
reporting transparency and provides investors with added clarity about complex
financial performance measures.
We calculate non-GAAP gross profit by excluding from GAAP gross profit, stock
compensation expense, restructuring-related charges and acquisition-related
expenses. We calculate non-GAAP operating income by excluding from GAAP operating
income, stock compensation expense, restructuring-related charges,
acquisition-related expenses, litigation settlement gains and losses and certain
deferred executive compensation. We calculate non-GAAP net income and net income
per share (diluted) by excluding from GAAP net income and net income per share
(diluted), stock compensation expense, restructuring-related charges,
acquisition-related expenses, litigation settlement gains and losses,
amortization of discount on convertible debt, and certain deferred executive
compensation, as well as certain items related to the retirement of convertible
debt, and certain tax items, which may not occur in all periods for which
financial information is presented. We exclude the items identified above from
the respective non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set
forth with respect to each such excluded item below:
Stock Compensation - because (1) the total amount of expense is partially outside
of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price volatility and
interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in
which the expense is incurred, (2) it is an expense based upon a valuation
methodology premised on assumptions that vary over time, and (3) the amount of
the expense can vary significantly between companies due to factors that can be
outside of the control of such companies.
Acquisition-Related Expenses - including such items as, when applicable,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, fair value adjustments to contingent
consideration, fair value charges incurred upon the sale of acquired inventory,
acquisition-related professional fees and deemed compensation expenses, because
they are not considered by management in making operating decisions and we
believe that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business
operations and thereby including such charges does not accurately reflect the
performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are
incurred.
Litigation settlement gains and losses - including gains and losses related to
the resolution of other than ordinary course threatened and actually filed
lawsuits and other than ordinary course contractual disputes, because (1) they
are not considered by management in making operating decisions, (2) such gains
and losses tend to be infrequent in nature, (3) such gains and losses are
generally not directly controlled by management, (4) we believe such gains and
losses do not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for
the period in which such charges are recognized and (5) the amount of such gains
or losses can vary significantly between companies and make comparisons
difficult.
Restructuring-Related Charges - because, to the extent such charges impact a
period presented, we believe that they have no direct correlation to future
business operations and including such charges does not necessarily reflect the
performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are
incurred.
Deferred Executive Compensation - including charges related to any contingent
obligation pursuant to an executive severance agreement because we believe the
period over which the obligation is amortized may not reflect the period of
benefit and that such expense has no direct correlation with our recurring
business operations and including such expenses does not accurately reflect the
compensation expense for the period in which incurred.
Amortization of Discount on Convertible Debt - comprised of the amortization of
the debt discount recorded at inception of the convertible debt borrowing related
to the adoption of ASC 470-20, because the expense is dependent on fair value
assessments and is not considered by management when making operating decisions.
Gains and Losses on Retirement of Convertible Debt - because, to the extent that
gains or losses from such repurchases impact a period presented, we do not
believe that they reflect the underlying performance of ongoing business
operations for such period.
Certain Income Tax Items - including certain deferred tax charges and benefits
which do not result in a current tax payment or tax refund and other adjustments
which are not indicative of ongoing business operations.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in the table above should not be
considered in isolation and are not an alternative for, the respective GAAP
financial measure that is most directly comparable to each such non-GAAP
financial measure. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on
these non-GAAP financial measures and are urged to review and consider carefully
the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial
measures may have limited value as analytical tools because they may exclude
certain expenses that some investors consider important in evaluating operating
performance or ongoing business. Further, non-GAAP financial measures are likely
to have limited value for purposes of drawing comparisons between companies
because different companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial
measures in different ways because non-GAAP measures are not based on any
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Our earnings release contains a forward looking estimate of non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share for the fourth quarter of our 2011 fiscal year ("Q4 2011"). We
provide this non-GAAP measure to investors on a prospective basis for the same
reasons (set forth above) that we provide them to investors on a historical
basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward looking estimate
of Q4 2011 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to a forward looking estimate of
Q4 2011 GAAP diluted earnings per share because certain information needed to
make a reasonable forward looking estimate of GAAP diluted earnings per share for
Q4 2011 (other than estimated stock compensation expense of $0.08 per diluted
share, certain tax items of $0.06 per diluted share, estimated acquisition
related expense of $0.09 per diluted share and estimated deferred executive
compensation expense and restructuring and other charges with a de minimis impact
per diluted share) is difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on
future events which may be uncertain or outside of our control. Such events may
include unanticipated gains and losses on retirement of convertible debt,
unanticipated one time charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets,
intangibles or goodwill), unanticipated acquisition related costs, unanticipated
litigation settlement gains and losses and other unanticipated non-recurring
items not reflective of ongoing operations. We believe the probable significance
of these unknown items, in aggregate, to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.05 in
quarterly earnings per diluted share on a GAAP basis. Our forward looking
estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may
differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as
statements of fact.

SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC. DISCUSSION REGARDING THE USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL
MEASURES
Our earnings release contains some or all of the following financial measures
which have not been calculated in accordance with United States Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP): (i) non-GAAP gross profit and gross
margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, (iii) non-GAAP net
income, and (iv) non-GAAP net income per share (diluted). As set forth in the
"Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table found above, we
derive such non-GAAP financial measures by excluding certain expenses and other
items from the respective GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable
to each non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses these non-GAAP financial
measures to evaluate our operating performance and compare it against past
periods, make operating decisions, forecast for future periods, compare operating
performance against peer companies and determine payments under certain
compensation programs. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with
additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in
our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-recurring expenses (which may not
occur in each period presented) and other items that management believes might
otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and
competitors more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce
management's ability to make useful forecasts.
We provide investors with non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP
operating income and operating margin and non-GAAP net income because we believe
it is important for investors to be able to closely monitor and understand
changes in our ability to generate income from ongoing business operations. We
believe these non-GAAP financial measures give investors an additional method to
evaluate historical operating performance and identify trends, additional means
of evaluating period-over-period operating performance and a method to facilitate
certain comparisons of operating results to peer companies. We also believe that
providing non-GAAP operating income and operating margin allows investors to
assess the extent to which ongoing operations impact our overall financial
performance. We further believe that providing non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP
net income per share (diluted) allows investors to assess the overall financial
performance of ongoing operations by eliminating the impact of certain financing
decisions related to our convertible debt and certain tax items which may not
occur in each period for which financial information is presented and which
represent gains or losses unrelated to our ongoing operations. We believe that
disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures contributes to enhanced financial
reporting transparency and provides investors with added clarity about complex
financial performance measures.
We calculate non-GAAP gross profit by excluding from GAAP gross profit, stock
compensation expense, restructuring-related charges and acquisition-related
expenses. We calculate non-GAAP operating income by excluding from GAAP operating
income, stock compensation expense, restructuring-related charges,
acquisition-related expenses, litigation settlement gains and losses and certain
deferred executive compensation. We calculate non-GAAP net income and net income
per share (diluted) by excluding from GAAP net income and net income per share
(diluted), stock compensation expense, restructuring-related charges,
acquisition-related expenses, litigation settlement gains and losses,
amortization of discount on convertible debt, and certain deferred executive
compensation, as well as certain items related to the retirement of convertible
debt, and certain tax items, which may not occur in all periods for which
financial information is presented. We exclude the items identified above from
the respective non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set
forth with respect to each such excluded item below:
Stock Compensation - because (1) the total amount of expense is partially outside
of our control because it is based on factors such as stock price volatility and
interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in
which the expense is incurred, (2) it is an expense based upon a valuation
methodology premised on assumptions that vary over time, and (3) the amount of
the expense can vary significantly between companies due to factors that can be
outside of the control of such companies.
Acquisition-Related Expenses - including such items as, when applicable,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, fair value adjustments to contingent
consideration, fair value charges incurred upon the sale of acquired inventory,
acquisition-related professional fees and deemed compensation expenses, because
they are not considered by management in making operating decisions and we
believe that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business
operations and thereby including such charges does not accurately reflect the
performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are
incurred.
Litigation Settlement Gains and Losses - including gains and losses related to
the resolution of other than ordinary course threatened and actually filed
lawsuits and other than ordinary course contractual disputes, because (1) they
are not considered by management in making operating decisions, (2) such gains
and losses tend to be infrequent in nature, (3) such gains and losses are
generally not directly controlled by management, (4) we believe such gains and
losses do not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for
the period in which such charges are recognized and (5) the amount of such gains
or losses can vary significantly between companies and make comparisons
difficult.
Restructuring-Related Charges - because, to the extent such charges impact a
period presented, we believe that they have no direct correlation to future
business operations and including such charges does not necessarily reflect the
performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are
incurred.
Deferred Executive Compensation - including charges related to any contingent
obligation pursuant to an executive severance agreement because we believe the
period over which the obligation is amortized may not reflect the period of
benefit and that such expense has no direct correlation with our recurring
business operations and including such expenses does not accurately reflect the
compensation expense for the period in which incurred.
Amortization of Discount on Convertible Debt - comprised of the amortization of
the debt discount recorded at inception of the convertible debt borrowing related
to the adoption of ASC 470-20, because the expense is dependent on fair value
assessments and is not considered by management when making operating decisions.
Gains and Losses on Retirement of Convertible Debt - because, to the extent that
gains or losses from such repurchases impact a period presented, we do not
believe that they reflect the underlying performance of ongoing business
operations for such period.
Certain Income Tax Items - including certain deferred tax charges and benefits
which do not result in a current tax payment or tax refund and other adjustments
which are not indicative of ongoing business operations.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in the table above should not be
considered in isolation and are not an alternative for, the respective GAAP
financial measure that is most directly comparable to each such non-GAAP
financial measure. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on
these non-GAAP financial measures and are urged to review and consider carefully
the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial
measures may have limited value as analytical tools because they may exclude
certain expenses that some investors consider important in evaluating operating
performance or ongoing business. Further, non-GAAP financial measures are likely
to have limited value for purposes of drawing comparisons between companies
because different companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial
measures in different ways because non-GAAP measures are not based on any
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Our earnings release contains a forward looking estimate of non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share for the first quarter of our 2012 fiscal year ("Q1 2012"). We
provide this non-GAAP measure to investors on a prospective basis for the same
reasons (set forth above) that we provide them to investors on a historical
basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward looking estimate
of Q1 2012 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to a forward looking estimate of
Q1 2012 GAAP diluted earnings per share because certain information needed to
make a reasonable forward looking estimate of GAAP diluted earnings per share for
Q1 2012 (other than estimated stock compensation expense of $0.09 per diluted
share, certain tax items of $0.06 per diluted share, estimated acquisition
related expense of $0.04 per diluted share and estimated deferred executive
compensation expense and restructuring and other charges with a de minimis impact
per diluted share) is difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on
future events which may be uncertain or outside of our control. Such events may
include unanticipated gains and losses on retirement of convertible debt,
unanticipated one time charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets,
intangibles or goodwill), unanticipated acquisition related costs, unanticipated
litigation settlement gains and losses and other unanticipated non-recurring
items not reflective of ongoing operations. We believe the probable significance
of these unknown items, in aggregate, to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.05 in
quarterly earnings per diluted share on a GAAP basis. Our forward looking
estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may
differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as
statements of fact.
