Cirrus Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRUS) today posted on its website at investor.cirrus.com the quarterly Shareholder Letter that contains the complete financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, which ended September 28, 2024, as well as the company’s current business outlook.

“Cirrus Logic reported record revenue and earnings per share for the September quarter. Revenue was near the top end of our guidance range due to strong demand for products shipping into smartphones,” said John Forsyth, Cirrus Logic president and chief executive officer. “In addition to our outstanding financial results, during the quarter, we started shipping our next-generation custom boosted amplifier and first 22-nanometer smart codec in recently launched smartphones. We also made excellent progress in the laptop market as we secured our first high-volume mainstream design win with our latest PC codec and began shipping our first power product in multiple tier-one customers’ devices. With an extensive product portfolio and a compelling roadmap of future products, we believe Cirrus Logic is well-positioned to capitalize on the many opportunities ahead of us to further broaden our technology and market reach.”

Revenue of $541.9 million;
GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 52.2 percent;
GAAP operating expenses of $150.7 million and non-GAAP operating expenses of $126.8 million; and
