“An expanding array of usage cases – from mobile to automotive, cloud computing and intelligent energy management – is accelerating the adoption of 5G across numerous end markets. Our decades-long experience and deep customer relationships, combined with the strength and scale of our internal fabrication capabilities, position Skyworks to enable a broad set of applications and opportunities.

Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2021 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 continued robust demand for connectivity solutions in mobile and broad markets and the inclusion of a partial quarter of revenue from the recently completed acquisition of the Infrastructure and Automotive business from Silicon Labs, we expect further strong year-over-year growth in the September quarter,” said Kris Sennesael, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Skyworks.

“Specifically, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021, we anticipate revenue to be between $1.270 billion and $1.330 billion with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.53 at the midpoint of our revenue range, representing revenue growth of 36% and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth of 37%, compared to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020. In addition, given our conviction in Skyworks’ strategic outlook and predictable strong cash generation, we are announcing another substantial increase to our quarterly dividend.”
