IRVINE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 11, 2024 — Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS), a leading developer, manufacturer and provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and solutions for numerous applications, today reported fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year-end results for the period ended Sept. 27, 2024.

Revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 was $1.025 billion. On a GAAP basis, operating income for the fourth fiscal quarter was $59 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.37. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $273 million with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.55.

“Skyworks’ fourth fiscal quarter revenue grew 13% sequentially, above the midpoint of our guidance,” said Liam K. Griffin, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Skyworks. “For the second year in a row, we generated over $1.6 billion of free cash flow and ended fiscal 2024 with a record 40% free cash flow margin. Looking ahead, we believe AI is poised to ignite a transformative smartphone upgrade cycle, propelling the demand for higher levels of RF complexity. We are in the early stages of this multi-year trend and Skyworks is well-positioned to capitalize on it.”

First Fiscal Quarter 2025 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.

“For the December quarter, we expect revenue to be $1.05 billion to $1.08 billion with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.57 at the mid-point of the revenue range,” said Kris Sennesael, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Skyworks. “We expect our mobile business to be up mid-single digits sequentially, driven by seasonal product ramps. In broad markets, despite excess inventory in select segments, we anticipate further modest sequential growth, and a return to year-over-year growth.”
