January 30, 2019 Dear Shareholders, Cirrus Logic delivered Q3 FY19 revenue of $324.3 million, in line with our revised expectations. Revenue for the quarter was lower than originally anticipated largely due to a reduction in sales of portable audio products shipping in smartphones. GAAP and non‐GAAP earnings per share were $0.49 and $0.91, respectively. During the quarter, design win traction was solid, and we remained actively engaged with a variety of new and existing customers. While uncertainties surrounding the macroeconomic environment and smartphone unit sales continue to impact the industry, Cirrus Logic maintains a sizeable cash position, no debt and an expectation that we will continue to generate strong cash flow going forward. This positions the company to remain focused on long‐ term growth and invest in strategic initiatives that we believe are essential for our future success. With a wide range of components on the market today and a compelling pipeline of products that target audio, voice and other adjacent applications, we are optimistic about our prospects.

disclosed, the year‐over‐year decline also reflects lower unit volumes of one of our digital headset products. One customer contributed 83 percent of sales for the quarter. Our relationship with our largest customer remains outstanding with design activity continuing on various products. While we understand there is intense interest in this customer, in accordance with our policy, we do not discuss specifics about our business relationship.

Guidance reflects our expectation for continued weakness in smartphone unit sales, which is partially offset by new product ramps ahead of customer launches in the spring. Despite this softness, we are encouraged as thompany is executing on new product development and design wins with new and existing customers are accelerating. Cirrus Logic has historically provided commentary on our revenue expectations for the upcoming fiscal year when reporting our third quarter results; however, given the wide array of uncertainties surrounding the macroeconomic environment and their unknowable impact on smartphone volumes, we are not currently providing a revenue outlook for FY20. Nonetheless, we anticipate revenue generated by Android customers in the next fiscal year will increase year over year, driven by content gains with various OEMs, including our largest Android customer. With a solid pipeline of products launching with both new and existing customers across our target markets as we move through FY20, we continue to be optimistic about our future.  e c

to our target operating profit margin model in the mid‐20s. Our total headcount exiting Q3 was 1,580.

GAAP earnings per share include approximately $13.8 million of non‐operating expense associated with the settlement of a United Kingdom defined benefit pension scheme. Non‐GAAP earnings per share for the quarter were $0.91, versus $1.08 in Q2 FY19 and $1.59 in Q3 FY18. Our ending cash balance in the December quarter was approximately $444 million, up from $396 million the prior quarter. Cash from operations was approximately $118 million for the quarter. In the December quarter, we used $55 million to repurchase roughly 1.4 million shares at an average price of $39.03. As of December 29, 2018, the company has $50 million remaining in the January 2018 share repurchase authorization. Further, the Board of Directors recently authorized the company to repurchase up to an additional $200 million of the company’s common stock. We expect to continue to have strong cash flow generation going forward and will evaluate potential Q3 FY19 Letter to Shareholders 5

uses of this cash, including acquisitions and the repurchase of shares on an opportunistic basis. Net interest income is currently expected to be roughly $2 million in Q4FY19. Taxes and Inventory We realized GAAP tax expense for the December quarter of approximately $2.4 million on GAAP pre‐tax income of approximately $32.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 7.4 percent. Non‐ GAAP tax expense for the quarter was approximately $9.4 million on non‐GAAP pre‐tax income of approximately $64.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 14.5 percent. Non‐GAAP tax expense includes approximately $7 million related to the tax effect of higher non‐GAAP income in various jurisdictions. We expect that our worldwide non‐GAAP effective tax rate in FY19 will range from 17 percent to 19 percent. Q3 inventory was $167.9 million, up from $142.3 million the prior quarter. The sequential increase in inventory was largely due to lower than anticipated sales of portable audio products. While we are supporting new product launches in FYQ4, overall inventory is expected to be relatively flat to Q3 FY19. Company Strategy Cirrus Logic is investing in long‐term strategic initiatives and innovative technologies that we believe will fuel new growth opportunities. Despite the uncertainties surrounding the macroeconomic environment and smartphone unit sales, we have not experienced a meaningful shift in the key trends driving demand for our technology. As we look to the future, we believe our expertise is becoming even more important as the need for low‐power, low‐latency, secure signal processing is increasing, particularly at the intelligent edge where certain functions benefit from being implemented locally on the consumer device to ensure a high‐performance experience for the user. For example, in recent years, Cirrus Logic technologies have become critical enablers for the voice assistant interfaces through our delivery of features such as low‐power always‐on voice wake. Today, Cirrus Logic’s products enable these features in smartphones, wired and wireless digital headsets and smart home devices. We see significant customer interest across these device categories for our new generation of technologies such as advanced far‐field voice processing and speaker identification. Moreover, we believe the potential ubiquity of the voice interface and the desire to seamlessly interact with intelligent assistants via wearables, IoT devices and automobiles represents a tremendous market opportunity. Accordingly, we continue to make considerable investments in what we see as critical technology building blocks such as voice biometrics, anti‐ spoofing techniques, machine‐learning algorithms, far‐field voice processing and low‐power signal processing. While we continue to expand our portfolio of compelling audio and voice products, we Q3 FY19 Letter to Shareholders   6 

are also leveraging our core intellectual property to develop components in adjacent applications. The company’s expertise around closed‐loop controllers and systems, coupled with our ability to provide low‐latency, low‐power, high‐performance signal processing is transferrable beyond the markets we currently serve. We expect to sample our first products that incorporate some of these new technologies and intellectual property in the first half of calendar 2019 and look forward to launching a variety of compelling new products over the next several years. We are delighted with the success of our boosted amplifier and haptic driver product lines and anticipate revenue in FY20 from these components will continue to increase meaningfully year‐ over‐year. Growth is expected to be fueled by broadening our penetration of the Android smartphone market through sales of products shipping today in flagship and mid‐tier devices and a strong pipeline of design wins that should be introduced over the next 12 months. Demand for boosted amplifiers is accelerating across tiers as OEMs push to introduce louder devices with high‐ quality stereo audio output, while ensuring overall system and speaker reliability. With integrated low‐power DSP, Cirrus Logic’s 55‐nanometer boosted amplifiers enable customers to achieve louder and higher‐performance sound output while reducing board space and improving system integration and flexibility. Customers utilizing our haptic driver benefit from the low‐power, low‐ latency fully integrated closed‐loop system that delivers a high‐definition haptic experience to consumers. Although we believe the largest opportunity for haptic drivers remains smartphones, we are experiencing increased interest from non‐smartphone applications. With solid design wins and customer engagements, we anticipate several of these applications utilizing our haptic technology to be introduced this year. While these markets are in the early stages of adoption within Android, we believe boosted amplifiers and haptic drivers will continue to contribute significantly to future revenue growth. Given this sizeable market opportunity and the differentiated technology we want to provide customers, we are continuing to increase our investment in hardware, software and key audio, voice and acoustics engineers that we view as important for executing on our roadmap. We believe the resulting diverse product portfolio will solidify our position as the leading supplier of these components. Since our digital headset technology started high volume production shipments in calendar 2016, Cirrus Logic has sold nearly a billion units. While the company’s components are utilized today in a variety of wired and wireless digital headsets and dongles, the success of this business has been largely driven by inbox wired headset opportunities. Despite the success of this business, we continue to experience a slower than anticipated transition to the USB‐C interface in the Android market. That said, with a wide range of products on the market today and more expected to be introduced over the next 3 to 12 months, with particular emphasis on those products with differentiated feature sets that have the potential to ship in volume, we continue to be confident about our design opportunities in this market going forward. Q3 FY19 Letter to Shareholders  7       

In conclusion, as we move into calendar 2019, the company is laser‐focused on executing on our product roadmap and increasing our penetration at new and existing customers. We believe the need for our low‐power, low‐latency complex analog and digital signal processing components will continue to expand across traditional audio, voice and other adjacent applications and we remain optimistic in the long‐term success of Cirrus Logic. Other Interesting Updates We are extremely pleased to have been recognized in Fortune magazine as one of the top employers in the United States on the 2018 Best Medium Workplaces list by the Great Place to Work Institute. The company also placed in the top Medium Workplaces list in the UK, as well as being    identified    by    the    Austin    American Statesman, for the eighth consecutive year, as a top employer in Central Texas. Cirrus Logic has developed a corporate culture that encourages innovation, creativity and timely execution, while fostering integrity, trust and camaraderie. We believe this environment is essential for the company to attract and retain talented employees and is critical to our long‐term success. Summary and Guidance For the March quarter we expect the following results: •    Revenue to range between $200 million and $240 million; •    GAAP gross margin to be between 49 percent and 51 percent; and •    Combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses to range between $119 million and $125 million, including approximately $12 million in share‐based compensation expense and $7 million in amortization of acquired intangibles; In summary, despite the current market dynamics, more customers are seeking sophisticated signal processing components that deliver a better user experience across our target markets. With an extensive intellectual property portfolio that we are leveraging into a robust product roadmap and an outstanding team of engineers, supply chain and operations support, we continue to invest in key technologies that we believe will drive meaningful opportunities in the coming years.
