Second Fiscal Quarter 2019 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.

“In the March quarter, we expect diversification and momentum in our high-growth broad markets business to partially offset unit declines in mobile,” said Kris Sennesael, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Skyworks. “Specifically, in the second fiscal quarter of 2019, we anticipate revenue to be between $800 and $820 million with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.43 at the midpoint of our revenue range. Further, reflecting confidence in our business model and ability to consistently generate strong free cash flow, the Board of Directors has approved a new $2 billion stock repurchase program.”
