MARKET SEGMENTS

Wide Area Networks and Storage Area Networks (WAN/SAN)

Revenue from the WAN/SAN segment, which accounted for 35% of fourth-quarter revenue, increased 22% from the prior quarter. The segment posted a gross margin of 56%. Earlier signs of improvement in enterprise networking The networking infrastructure in a large enterprise with multiple computer systems and networks of different types is extraordinarily complex. Due to the myriad of interfaces that are required, much of what goes on has little to do with the real data processing of the payroll and orders.  have been followed by increases in broader-based networking sales. Cypress experienced positive growth and new design wins in a broad range of products, including specialty memories, framers and synchronous RAMs, and a significant increase in its network search engine business. We expect continued growth in WAN/SAN in the first quarter. Segment highlights include:

+ Cypress announced two new network search engine (NSE NSE - Network Software Environment: a proprietary CASE framework from Sun Microsystems. ) architectures. The ternary (programming) ternary - A description of an operator taking three arguments. The only common example is C's ?: operator which is used in the form "CONDITION ? EXP1 : EXP2" and returns EXP1 if CONDITION is true else EXP2.  content-addressable memory Content-addressable memory (CAM) is a special type of computer memory used in certain very high speed searching applications. It is also known as associative memory, associative storage, or associative array  (TCAM (TeleCommunications Access Method) IBM communications software widely used to transfer data between mainframes and 3270 terminals. See access method. )-based Ayama(TM) 20000 NSE is the industry's highest-performance solution at 266 million searches per second (MSPS MSPS Mega-Samples Per Second
MSPS Million Samples Per Second

). The Sahasra(TM) 50000 family of algorithmic NSEs achieves four times the capacity of the largest TCAM-based NSE. Cypress is the only company to offer both types of search solutions. Cypress enjoyed 39 new NSE designs which went into production in the fourth quarter. Among companies with search engines in production, we now have the broadest customer base outside Cisco.

+ Cypress announced the availability of Ayama 20000 NSE models, which enable software engineers to perform early prototyping and software development, shortening design cycle time and speeding time to market. The 18-Mbit Ayama 20000 NSE provides support for Intel IXP (1) (Internet EXchange Processor) See IXA.

+ Cypress achieved volume production of its 18-Mbit FLEx72(TM) Dual-Port memory, the highest-density, highest-performance memory of its kind, with 19.2 Gbps of bandwidth.

Wireless Terminals and Wireless Infrastructure (WIT/WIN)

Revenue from the WIT/WIN segment, which accounted for 29% of fourth-quarter revenue, increased 6% from the prior quarter. The revenue increase is attributable to the continued expansion of our customer base and the ongoing deployment of 2.5G cellular networks. The gross margin for the segment was 44%. We are expecting a modest improvement in WIT/WIN sales in the first quarter, primarily due to market-share gains. Segment highlights include:

+ Cypress announced the acquisition of Cascade Semiconductor Corporation, a company specializing in one-transistor (1T) Pseudo-SRAM (PSRAM PSRAM Pseudo-Static Random Access Memory
PSRAM Pseudo Static Ram
) products for wireless applications, including cell phones. 1T PSRAM devices offer higher density than conventional SRAMs at a lower cost, enabling new features in next-generation phones. The transaction closed January 6, 2004.

+ Cypress ramped production of its 16-Mbit, second-generation More Battery Life(TM) (MoBL2(TM)) MicroPower(TM) SRAM See static RAM.

, manufactured with the company's proprietary 0.13-micron RAM8(TM) technology. The CY7C62167/8DV device is the world's smallest low-power 16-Mbit SRAM, increasing battery life, talk time and data storage capabilities in cell phones.

Computation and Consumer

Revenue from the computation and consumer segment, which accounted for 32% of fourth-quarter revenue, was essentially flat from the prior quarter and posted a gross margin of 50%. Seasonal weakness in the consumer business was offset by strong sales of high-speed USB controllers. We expect first-quarter revenue to remain seasonally flat. Highlights include:

+ Cypress announced full production of its WirelessUSB(TM) LS solution -- the industry's most affordable 2.4-GHz radio system-on-a-chip -- and its associated WirelessUSB LS development kit for mice, keyboards, game controllers, remote controls and other cordless devices. Priced under $2 in volume quantities, WirelessUSB LS eclipses the price/performance benefits of Bluetooth(R), ZigBee(TM) and proprietary 27-MHz solutions. Electronic Products, a U.S. trade publication, named WirelessUSB LS its 2003 Product of the Year, the third such award the product has received.

+ Cypress unveiled a high-performance reference design kit targeting USB streaming video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater.  applications.

Cypress Subsidiaries

Revenue from Cypress subsidiaries, which accounted for 4% of fourth-quarter revenue, was up 7% from the prior quarter. The subsidiaries posted a gross margin of 74%. Cypress anticipates continued progress in the performance of its subsidiaries as new products from the group reach the marketplace. Segment highlights include:

+ SunPower Corporation, which produces the world's most-efficient, low-cost silicon solar cells, increased the production of its A-300 solar cells at Cypress's Fab 7 pilot line in Round Rock, Texas. The revolutionary A-300 cells are based on a unique rear-contact design that maximizes the working cell area, hides unsightly un·sight·ly

Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, and hydroelectricity to biomass and biofuels for transportation. . NASA has partnered with SunPower on a range of projects in recent years: SunPower solar cells were used on the NASA-sponsored "Helios" solar-powered airplane that flew to a record altitude of 96,863 feet in 2001.

Conclusion

Rodgers said, "The recovery is progressing, but is still in its early phase. Strong consumer and wireless sales in the third quarter of 2003 have now been followed by a significant rebound in networking during the fourth quarter. We expect the current strength in our markets to preclude the usual seasonal first-quarter revenue dip, allowing us to grow revenue in the first quarter of 2004."

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Cypress uses a
non-GAAP conforming, or pro forma, measure of net income that is GAAP
net income adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains. Pro
forma net income gives an indication of Cypress's baseline performance
before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by
management to be outside of the company's core operating results. In
addition, pro forma net income (loss) is among the primary indicators
management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting future
periods. Cypress computes pro forma net income (loss) by adjusting
GAAP net income (loss) with the impact of acquisition-related charges
(intangible asset amortization, deferred stock compensation and
charges related to milestone achievements), restructuring charges, and
other non-recurring charges and gains. Cypress provides pro forma
results as additional information for its operating results. These
measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally
accepted accounting principles and may be different from pro forma
measures used by other companies.
