“Cirrus Logic reported revenue for the June quarter towards the top end of guidance as we benefited from higher-than-expected unit volumes,” said John Forsyth, Cirrus Logic president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, we taped out our next-generation boosted amplifier, completed product validation on our first 22-nanometer smart codec, and began ramping production of our latest camera controller. We also made progress on product and end-market diversification as we gained momentum in laptops and began selectively refreshing certain core product lines that are expected to drive expansion outside of smartphones.”

Business Outlook – Second Quarter FY24
Revenue is expected to range between $430 million and $490 million; GAAP gross margin is forecasted to be between 49 percent and 51 percent; and Combined GAAP R and SG expenses are anticipated to range between $141 million and $147 million, including approximately $22 million in stock-based compensation expense, $2 million in amortization of acquired intangibles, and $3 million in acquisition-related costs and restructuring charges associated with our recently announced workforce reduction.Cirrus Logic will host a live Q session at 6 p.m. EDT today to discuss its financial results and business outlook.
