Cirrus Logic (CRUS) Q2 Earnings & Revenues Beat, Down Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Cirrus Logic Inc. (CRUS - Free Report) reported better-than-expected top line and bottom-line results for the second quarter of fiscal 2019, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The company’s non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.08 topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 74 cents. However, the figure declined 20.6% year over year due to lower revenues and higher operating expenses.
Total revenues of $366.3 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $330 million. However, the top line was down 14.1% year over year. Revenues, however, exceeded the expectations of the company as orders for several portable products were preponed to the fiscal second quarter from the fiscal third quarter.
Nonetheless, growing momentum of demand for features for enhanced user experience across the company’s target markets remained a positive.
Quarter Details
Segment wise, portable audio product revenues (88.5% of the total revenues) came in at $324 million, down 15.1% year over year. Non-portable audio and other products (11.5%) decreased 3.4% to $42.3 million.
During the quarter, Cirrus Logic shipped a haptic driver and two audio amplifiers to its first high-end Android smartphone customer in North America.
Moreover, the company also increased penetration of boosted amplifiers in high-end and mid-range smartphones. It also supplied a 55-nanometer amplifier to a top customer.
Non-GAAP gross profit was $185.3 million, which decreased 12.4% on a year-over-year basis. Gross margin, however, grew 90 basis points (bps) to 50.6%.
Cirrus Logic’s non-GAAP operating expenses increased 7.1% to $103.7 million.
Non-GAAP operating income of $81.6 million declined 28.9%. Moreover, non-GAAP operating margin contracted 500 bps from the year-ago quarter to 22%.
On a non-GAAP basis, Cirrus Logic reported net income of $67.1 million compared with $89.9 million in the year-ago quarter. This marked a decline of 25.4%.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
