Exhibit 99.1

Cirrus Logic Announces Preliminary Q4 Revenue Increases 87 Percent Year Over Year to Approximately $206.9M

Company to Record a Net Inventory Reserve of $23.3 Million in Q4

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 2013--Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq: CRUS) today announced preliminary net revenue of approximately $206.9 million, based on unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter, which ended March 30, 2013. The company also announced that it will record a total net inventory reserve of $23.3 million of which approximately $20.7 million is due to a decreased forecast for a high volume product as the customer migrates to one of Cirrus Logic’s newer components. The $20.7 million inventory reserve is expected to result in a decrease in gross margin for the quarter of slightly more than 10 percent to approximately 40.4 percent, below the company’s previous guidance range of 50 to 52 percent. Additionally, combined R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to be approximately $50 million, which includes roughly $6 million of stock based compensation and other charges.

The company expects margins to return to the 50 to 52 percent range on revenue of $150 to $170 million in the first fiscal quarter. R&D and SG&A expense for the June quarter is anticipated to be $51 million to $55 million, which includes approximately $6 million of stock based compensation.

“FY13 was an outstanding year for Cirrus Logic. While it is unfortunate to close the year with a significant inventory reserve, this should not overshadow the significant progress the company has made throughout this past fiscal year,” said Jason Rhode, president and chief executive officer, Cirrus Logic. “We continue to be aligned with the very best customers in the markets we serve and our team is hard at work on development activities that will position us to capitalize on exciting opportunities in the future.”
