Skyworks Updates Q3 FY19 Outlook

Revised Outlook Reflects Impact of U.S. Department of Commerce Actions Against Huawei

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. SWKS, an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, today announced it is updating its outlook for the third fiscal quarter of 2019 ending June 28, 2019. This update reflects the expected impact on Skyworks of the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce placing Huawei Technologies Co. and certain of its affiliates on the Bureau's Entity List. Skyworks ceased all shipments to Huawei and its affiliates as of the date Huawei was added to the Entity List and cannot currently predict if and when shipments will resume.

Skyworks' past shipments to Huawei and its affiliates include both mobile and wireless infrastructure solutions. During the first six months of fiscal 2019, sales to Huawei were approximately 12 percent of Skyworks' total revenue.

The outlook provided during Skyworks' second fiscal quarter 2019 earnings conference call on May 2, 2019, did not anticipate the addition of Huawei to the Entity List and the cessation of shipments to Huawei and its affiliates. As a result, the company is revising its outlook for revenue and non-GAAP EPS for the third fiscal quarter of 2019, assuming no further shipments to Huawei occur this quarter. The company now expects:

• Revenue between $755 million and $775 million, compared to the prior outlook of between $815 million and $835 million;
• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.34 at the midpoint of the revenue range, compared to the prior outlook of $1.50.

This update is based on information available to management as of the date of this release. Skyworks undertakes no obligation to update the information in this release in the event facts or circumstances change after the date of this release.

Discussion Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains a forward-looking estimate of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of our 2019 fiscal year ("Q3 2019"). We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking estimate to Q3 2019 GAAP diluted earnings per share because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of GAAP diluted earnings per share for Q3 2019 (other than estimated share-based compensation expense of $0.10 to $0.15 per diluted share, and estimated amortization of intangibles of $0.05 to $0.07 per diluted share) is difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control. Such events may include changes in our GAAP effective tax rate, one-time charges related to asset impairments (fixed assets, inventory, intangibles or goodwill), acquisition-related expenses, litigation settlement gains, losses and expenses and other non-recurring items not reflective of ongoing operations. Our forward-looking estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as statements of fact.
