August 5, 2025
Dear Shareholders,
In Q1 FY26, Cirrus Logic delivered revenue of $407.3 million, above the top end of our guidance range. GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share were $1.14 and $1.51, respectively. During the quarter, we were delighted with the success of our latest-generation smartphone audio components, including our custom boosted amplifier and first 22-nanometer smart codec. Outside of smartphones, we continued to gain traction in the laptop market. In the June quarter, our next-generation amplifier and codec were designed into several new laptops, we announced a collaboration with Compal to address persistent audio quality challenges, and we continued development on multiple new laptop components. Progress in our general market business, which spans the professional audio, automotive, industrial, and imaging end markets, included ramping production of our latest-generation analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and an ultra-high-performance audio codec. Finally, we also began shipping our recently-introduced timing product to leading automotive and professional audio customers. Looking forward, we are focused on building on our strong intellectual property portfolio and leveraging our extensive mixed-signal expertise as we continue to drive growth across existing and new application areas in the coming years.

Revenue and Gross Margin
Revenue for the June quarter was $407.3 million, down four percent quarter over quarter and up nine percent year over year. Q1 FY26 revenue was above the top end of our guidance range due to stronger-than-expected smartphone unit volumes. The decrease in revenue on a sequential basis reflects lower smartphone unit volumes. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by sales associated with our latest-generation products and higher smartphone unit volumes. In the September quarter, we expect revenue to range from $510 million to $570 million, up 33 percent sequentially and approximately flat year over year at the midpoint.
In Q1 FY26, revenue derived from our audio and high-performance mixed-signal (HPMS) product lines represented 59 percent and 41 percent of total revenue, respectively. One customer contributed approximately 86 percent of total revenue in Q1 FY26. 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 August 5, 2025
GAAP gross margin in the June quarter was 52.6 percent, compared to 53.4 percent in Q4 FY25 and 50.5 percent in Q1 FY25. Non-GAAP gross margin in the June quarter was 52.6 percent, compared to 53.5 percent in Q4 FY25 and 50.6 percent in Q1 FY25. On a sequential basis, the decrease was mostly driven by a less favorable product mix and a return to a more typical pricing environment. On a year-over-year basis, the increase in gross margin was largely due to a more favorable product mix. In the September quarter, we expect gross margin to range from 51 percent to 53 percent.
Operating Profit, Tax, and EPS
Operating profit for Q1 FY26 was 17.8 percent on a GAAP basis and 23.3 percent on a non-GAAP basis. GAAP operating expense was $141.6 million and included $20.5 million in stock-based compensation and $1.6 million in amortization of acquisition intangibles. On a sequential basis, GAAP operating expense increased by $0.8 million primarily driven by higher employee-related expenses, mostly due to annual salary increases, and an increase in stock-based compensation. This was partially offset by a reduction in product development costs, largely due to the timing of expenses for new products, including tape outs.

The reduction also reflects a decrease in variable compensation and lower facilities-related expenses. On a year-over-year basis, GAAP operating expense decreased by $0.5 million largely due to the absence of lease impairments and lower product development costs. This was offset by higher employee-related costs mostly associated with annual salary increases. Non-GAAP operating expense for the quarter was $119.5 million, down $0.5 million sequentially and up $1.5 million year over year. The company’s total headcount exiting Q1 was 1,658.
Combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses for Q2 FY26 are expected to range from $153 million to $159 million, including approximately $20 million in stock-based compensation expense and $2 million in amortization of acquisition intangibles, resulting in a non-GAAP operating expense range between $131 million and $137 million.

chart-f1bcf45db3ca43a6ace.jpg
*Reflects midpoint of combined R&D and SG&A guidance as of August 5, 2025
For the June quarter, GAAP tax expense was $19.9 million on GAAP pre-tax income of $80.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.7 percent. Non-GAAP tax expense for the quarter was $22.8 million on non-GAAP pre-tax income of $103.1 million, resulting in a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 22.1 percent. The GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates for the June quarter were unfavorably impacted by a provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that required companies to capitalize and amortize R&D expenses. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was signed into law. Among other provisions, the OBBBA permanently eliminates the requirement to capitalize and amortize U.S. R&D expenditures and makes modifications to international tax rules. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the legislation.

GAAP earnings per share for the June quarter was $1.14, compared to earnings per share of $1.31 the prior quarter and $0.76 in Q1 FY25. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the June quarter was $1.51, versus $1.67 in Q4 FY25 and $1.12 in Q1 FY25.
Balance Sheet
Our cash and investment balance at the end of Q1 FY26 was $847.8 million, up from $834.8 million the prior quarter and $744.6 million in Q1 FY25. Cash flow from operations for the June quarter was $116.1 million. During the quarter, we repurchased 1,013,613 shares at an average price of $98.66, returning $100.0 million of cash to shareholders in the form of buybacks. At the end of Q1 FY26, the company had $454.1 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.
Q1 FY26 inventory was $279.0 million, down from $299.1 million in Q4 FY25. In Q2 FY26, we expect inventory to decrease 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.
Smartphones
In smartphone audio, we are delighted with the success of our latest-generation custom boosted amplifier and first 22-nanometer smart codec. These components deliver exceptional audio performance and significant power and efficiency improvements while also enabling system design flexibility. We remain committed to delivering high-quality products and expect both of these components to ship for multiple smartphone generations. Additionally, the company also continues to support customers in the Android market. While the majority of our general market R&D resources are focused on developing products for new markets, we still expect new flagship smartphones utilizing our components to come to market in the second half of the calendar year.
Beyond audio, we are excited about the opportunities to grow our smartphone content with HPMS solutions. Engagement with our largest customer on camera controllers remains strong, and the features they help enable have been very well received. We continue to work to identify additional opportunities to enable advanced functionality and improve overall system performance. Further, we are also making investments in advanced battery and power technology and have a number of R&D programs underway related to these areas. To capitalize on these growth opportunities, we are actively pursuing sockets where our signal processing expertise can deliver more efficient, flexible solutions compared to competing solutions. Looking forward, with a number of ongoing technology investments, we believe we have a solid pipeline of opportunities with HPMS products.

New Applications and Markets
Outside of smartphones, we are leveraging our intellectual property to expand into other applications and markets with both existing and new products. We continue to gain traction in the laptop market. During the quarter, customer engagement across our portfolio was strong as we saw our next-generation amplifier and codec designed into several new laptops that are expected to begin initial shipments in late CY25. These products help deliver high-fidelity audio and voice while also allowing our customers to improve their user experience and battery life. Further, these components expand our reach across price points, enabling us to support our customers’ higher-volume mainstream programs. By broadening into this product tier, we can capture more of our serviceable addressable market and create additional revenue opportunities. We also recently announced a collaboration with Compal, a leading electronic design and manufacturing services company, to address persistent audio quality challenges in laptops, notably the mechanical rattle and audio distortion that often leads to poor and inconsistent audio quality. Cirrus Logic’s tools and algorithms can help detect these conditions, and when implemented in manufacturing production lines, can enable better quality assurance and consistent user experiences across high-volume manufacturing. Further, we are in development on multiple new products that aim to significantly improve voice and audio capture functionality across a wide range of the laptops. We believe this will be especially valuable as users are more frequently using voice as an interface when interacting with their laptops and AI agents. We are excited with our progress in this market as our breadth of content in laptops continues to expand through both direct engagement with OEMs and our participation with leading reference design partners.
Beyond the laptop market, we continue to invest in our general market business, which spans a large number of customers across the professional audio, automotive, industrial, and imaging end markets. We ramped production of our latest-generation ADCs, DACs, and an ultra-high-performance audio codec. Additionally, we expanded this professional audio portfolio with the launch of four new high-performance ADC and DAC products. These components deliver exceptional performance and innovative features like hybrid gain control while requiring lower power compared to previous generations. They also make Cirrus Logic’s audio capabilities and features accessible across a range of high-performance audio applications and price points. We recently began shipping our latest timing product to leading automotive and professional audio customers. Looking forward, we plan to continue to leverage our mixed-signal design and advanced low-power signal processing expertise to execute on our strategic vision and capitalize on growth opportunities in new applications and markets.
Summary and Guidance
For the September quarter we expect the following results:
Revenue to range between $510 million and $570 million;
GAAP gross margin to be between 51 percent and 53 percent; and
Combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses to range between $153 million and $159 million, including approximately $20 million in stock-based compensation expense and $2 million in amortization of acquisition intangibles, resulting in a non-GAAP operating expense range between $131 million and $137 million.
In conclusion, we delivered strong results for Q1 FY26. During the quarter, we continued our leadership in smartphone audio, gained traction in the laptop market, and started ramping production of our latest-
