Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS), an innovator of
high-performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places
and things, today reported first fiscal quarter results for the
period ended Dec. 31, 2021.
Revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2022 was $1.510 billion,
up 15% sequentially, exceeding consensus estimates. On a GAAP
basis, operating income for the first fiscal quarter was $445.9
million with diluted earnings per share of $2.40. On a non-GAAP
basis, operating income was $585.8 million with non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share of $3.14.
“Skyworks delivered strong first quarter results, with
double-digit sequential growth in both revenue and earnings per
share,” said Liam K. Griffin, chairman, CEO and president of
Skyworks. “Importantly, the growth was well diversified across our
mobile and broad markets portfolios.
“Looking forward, demand for connectivity is rapidly expanding
across multiple essential wireless protocols, including 5G,
advanced Wi-Fi and precision GPS. Skyworks is uniquely positioned
to outperform in all of these technologies through an expanding

Second Fiscal Quarter 2022 Outlook
We provide earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis because certain
information necessary to reconcile such guidance to GAAP is
difficult to estimate and dependent on future events outside of our
control. Please refer to the attached Discussion Regarding the Use
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this press release for a further
discussion of our use of non-GAAP measures, including
quantification of known expected adjustment items.
“Based on new product ramps across our increasingly diversified
product portfolio, we expect double-digit year-over-year revenue
and earnings growth in the March quarter,” said Kris Sennesael,
senior vice president and chief financial officer of Skyworks.
“Specifically, in the second fiscal quarter of 2022, we anticipate
revenue to be between $1.300 billion and $1.360 billion with
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.62 at the midpoint of our
revenue range, representing revenue growth of 13.5% and non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share growth of 11%, compared to the second
fiscal quarter of 2021.”
Dividend Payment
Skyworks’ board of directors has declared a cash dividend of
$0.56 per share of the Company’s common stock, payable on Mar. 15,
2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on Feb.
22, 2022.

to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information
relating to future results and expectations of Skyworks (e.g.,
certain projections and business trends, as well as plans for
dividend payments, debt repayment and share repurchases).
Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as
“anticipates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “believes,”
“plans,” “may,” “will” or “continue,” and similar expressions and
variations or negatives of these words. All such statements are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely
from those projected and may affect our future operating results,
financial position and cash flows.
These risks, uncertainties and other important factors include,
but are not limited to: the effects on our business operations of
the global COVID-19 pandemic, including the spread of more
contagious variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, as well as
of the measures taken to limit COVID-19’s spread, including
measures implemented in certain of our manufacturing facilities
that may lead to reduced production levels, as well as potential

conditions; reduced flexibility in operating our business as a
result of the indebtedness incurred in connection with the
transaction with Silicon Labs; our ability to retain, recruit and
hire key executives, technical personnel and other employees in the
positions and numbers, with the experience and capabilities, and at
the compensation levels needed to implement our business and
product plans; the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of
significant customer orders and our ability, as well as the ability
of our customers, to manage inventory; our ability to prevent theft
of our intellectual property, disclosure of confidential
information, or breaches of our information technology systems;
uncertainties of litigation, including potential disputes over
intellectual property infringement and rights, as well as payments
related to the licensing and/or sale of such rights; our ability to
continue to grow and maintain an intellectual property portfolio
and obtain needed licenses from third parties; our ability to make
certain investments and acquisitions, integrate companies we
acquire, and/or enter into strategic alliances; and other risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those detailed from
time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

DISCUSSION REGARDING THE USE OF NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
Our earnings release contains some or all of the following
financial measures that 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 diluted earnings per share. As set forth in the “Unaudited
Reconciliations 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 our 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 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 forecasts.
We provide investors with non-GAAP gross profit and gross
margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP
net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share 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, an additional means of
evaluating period-over-period operating performance and a method to
facilitate certain comparisons of our operating results to those of
our peer companies. We also believe that providing non-GAAP
operating income and operating margin allows investors to assess
the extent to which our ongoing operations impact our overall
financial performance. We further believe that providing non-GAAP
net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share allows investors
to assess the overall financial performance of our ongoing
operations by eliminating the impact of share-based compensation
expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of
acquisition-related intangibles, settlements, gains, losses, and
impairments, restructuring-related charges, and certain tax items
which may not occur in each period presented and which may
represent non-cash items 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, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related
expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and
settlements, gains, losses, and impairments. We calculate non-GAAP
operating income by excluding from GAAP operating income,
share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses,
amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, settlements,
gains, losses, and impairments, and restructuring-related charges.
We calculate non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share by
excluding from GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share,
share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses,
amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, settlements,
gains, losses, and impairments, restructuring-related charges, and
certain tax items. 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:
Share-Based 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, and
acquisition-related 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 our future business
operations and thereby including such charges does not necessarily
reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in
which such charges or reversals are incurred.
Restructuring-Related Charges - because these charges have no
direct correlation to our future business operations and including
such charges or reversals does not necessarily reflect the
performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such
charges or reversals are incurred.
Settlements, Gains, Losses, and Impairments - because such
settlements, gains, losses, and impairments (1) are not considered
by management in making operating decisions, (2) are infrequent in
nature, (3) are generally not directly controlled by management,
(4) do not necessarily reflect the performance of our ongoing
operations for the period in which such charges are recognized,
and/or (5) can vary significantly in amount between companies and
make comparisons less reliable.
Certain Income Tax Items - including certain deferred tax
charges and benefits that do not result in a current tax payment or
tax refund and other adjustments, including but not limited to,
items unrelated to the current fiscal year or that are not
indicative of our 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 our operating
performance or ongoing business performance. Further, non-GAAP
financial measures are likely to have limited value for purposes of
drawing comparisons between companies as a result of different
companies potentially calculating 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 forward-looking estimates of
non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of our
2022 fiscal year (“Q2 2022”). We provide this non-GAAP measure to
investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth
above) that we provide it to investors on a historical basis. We
are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking
estimate of Q2 2022 GAAP diluted earnings per share to a
forward-looking estimate of Q2 2022 non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share because certain information needed to make a reasonable
forward-looking estimate of GAAP diluted earnings per share for Q2
2022 (other than estimated share-based compensation expense of
$0.25 to $0.35 per diluted share, estimated amortization of
intangibles of $0.40 to $0.50 per diluted share and certain tax
items of -$0.15 to $0.05 per diluted share) is difficult to predict
and estimate and is often dependent on future events that may be
uncertain or outside of our control. Such events may include
unanticipated changes in our GAAP effective tax rate, unanticipated
one-time charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets,
inventory, intangibles, or goodwill), unanticipated
acquisition-related expenses, unanticipated settlements, gains,
losses, and impairments, and other unanticipated non-recurring
items not reflective of ongoing operations. The probable
significance of these unknown items, in the aggregate, is estimated
to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.15 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.
