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 first quarter of fiscal year 2026, which ended June 28, 2025, as well as the company’s current business outlook.

“Cirrus Logic delivered strong financial results for the June quarter driven by robust demand for our custom boosted amplifier and first 22-nanometer smart codec shipping in smartphones,” said John Forsyth, Cirrus Logic president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, we also executed against our growth strategy to drive product and end-market diversification. Our progress included gaining traction in the laptop market and ramping production of our latest-generation general market components that target the professional audio, automotive, industrial, and imaging end markets. With a growing roadmap of products and a proven track record of execution, we believe Cirrus Logic is well-positioned to grow long-term shareholder value.”
