Skyworks’ Strategy
Skyworks’ vision is to become the leading supplier of high performance analog and mixed signal semicon-
ductors enabling mobile connectivity. Key elements in our strategy include:
Expanding Power Amplifier and Front-End Solutions Market Share
Our products offer customers solutions that significantly speed time-to-market while dramatically reducing
bill of material costs, power consumption and footprints. We plan to increase our current worldwide market share
position through higher levels of integration and continued innovation, leveraging our leading edge process and
packaging technology.
Capturing Increasing Dollar Content in Third and Fourth Generation Applications
As the industry migrates to multi-mode EDGE, WEDGE, WCDMA and WiMAX architectures, RF com-
plexity in the transmit and receive chain substantially increases given simultaneous voice and high speed data
communications requirements, coupled with the need for backward compatibility to existing networks. As a result,
Skyworks believes that the addressable semiconductor market for our solutions more than doubles.
Gaining Market Share with Helios™ RF Solutions
We continue to expand our radio presence with the Helios™ platform, which bundles our single chip direct
conversion transceiver and front-end module. Skyworks is now supporting multiple tier one handset OEMs
with
complete radios and we look forward to even greater traction as we launch our differentiated WCDMA
solutions in the coming year.
Partnering with the World’s Leading Baseband Suppliers
As a result of exiting the baseband business at the end of fiscal 2006, we are now effectively partnering with,
versus competing against, system-level developers. We believe these strategic relationships will enhance our
competitive position as the market migrates to 3G multimode and system-on-a-chip architectures where bes-
t-in-class baseband, radio and front-end solutions are increasingly required.
Diversifying into Adjacent Linear Markets
By leveraging core analog, mixed signal and RF technology, Skyworks is also able to deliver solutions to
broader and diverse markets that are characterized by longer product lifecycles, sustained revenue profiles and
higher contribution margins than our handset business. While the addressable market for linear products is highly
fragmented, it is significantly larger than the cellular handset RF industry.
Delivering Operational Excellence
Skyworks’ strategy is to vertically integrate where we can differentiate or otherwise enter alliances and
partnerships for leading-edge capabilities. These partnerships and alliances are designed to ensure product
leadership and competitive advantage in the marketplace. We are focused on achieving the industry’s shortest
cycle times, highest yields and ultimately the lowest product cost structure.
