Cirrus Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRUS) today posted on its website at
investor.cirrus.com the quarterly Shareholder Letter that contains
the complete financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year
2025, which ended December 28, 2024, as well as the company’s
current business outlook.
“Cirrus Logic delivered revenue significantly above the top end
of our guidance range in the December quarter as shipments into
smartphones exceeded our expectations,” said John Forsyth, Cirrus
Logic president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter,
we experienced strong demand for our smartphone audio components,
including our latest-generation custom boosted amplifier and first
22-nanometer smart codec. Additionally, we gained momentum in our
laptop business as we were featured as part of the Intel Arrow Lake
reference design, began sampling our latest amplifier and codec
specifically designed for laptops, and expanded our breadth of
content across a variety of devices. With a compelling roadmap of
products and a proven track record of execution, we believe Cirrus
Logic is well-positioned to grow long-term shareholder value.”
Reported Financial Results – Third Quarter FY25
- Revenue of $555.7 million;
- GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 53.6 percent;
- GAAP operating expenses of $152.0 million and non-GAAP
operating expenses of $129.2 million; and
- GAAP earnings per share of $2.11 and non-GAAP earnings per
share of $2.51.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information is
included in the tables accompanying this press release.
Business Outlook – Fourth Quarter FY25
- Revenue is expected to range between $350 million and $410
million;
- GAAP gross margin is forecasted to be between 51 percent and 53
percent; and
- Combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses are anticipated to
range between $141 million and $147 million, including
approximately $20 million in stock-based compensation expense and
$2 million in amortization of acquired intangibles, resulting in a
non-GAAP operating expense range between $119 million and $125
million.

today to discuss its financial results and business outlook.

measure, is GAAP cash flow from operations (or cash provided by
operating activities) less capital expenditures. Capital
expenditures include purchases of property, equipment and software
as well as investments in technology, as presented within our GAAP
Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows. Free cash flow
margin represents free cash flow divided by revenue.
