IRVINE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 30, 2024 — Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS), an innovator of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors connecting people, places and things, today reported first fiscal quarter results for the period ended Dec. 29, 2023.

Revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2024 was $1.202 billion. On a GAAP basis, operating income for the first fiscal quarter was $258.3 million with diluted earnings per share of $1.44. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $365.7 million with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.97.

“Skyworks continues to execute well and generate robust profitability in light of ongoing macroeconomic volatility,” said Liam K. Griffin, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Skyworks. “We delivered record quarterly free cash flow of $753 million, which reflects strong working capital management and moderating capex intensity. We are seeing signs that the Android smartphone market is recovering. In broad markets, we are well positioned for long-term growth in edge-connected IoT devices, automotive electrification and advanced safety systems, and AI-enabled workloads driving cloud and data center upgrades.”

First Fiscal Quarter Business Highlights

• Secured several design wins in infrastructure, including optical transport products with a major operator in India and timing devices for 5G small cells for private networks
• Expanded Wi-Fi design win pipeline with Cisco’s enterprise access point, Linksys tri-band mesh router, and TP-Link’s tri-band gaming router
• Delivered next-generation smart energy solutions with Google’s Nest temperature sensor and Itron’s residential gas meter
• Increased design win momentum in automotive including telematics, infotainment systems, and on-board chargers across the leading OEMs

Second Fiscal Quarter 2024 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 earnings release for a further discussion of our use of non-GAAP measures, including quantification of known expected adjustment items.

“We expect revenue to be $1.02 to $1.07 billion in the March quarter,” said Kris Sennesael, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Skyworks. “At the mid-point of the revenue range, we anticipate non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.52. We expect our mobile business to be seasonally down sequentially, consistent with historical patterns, while in broad markets, we anticipate modest growth off the December quarter.”
