Part 1 Press Release of Dialog Semiconductor Plc dated July 21, 2004: ”Dialog Semiconductor reports second quarter 2004 results”

Table of Contents

Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, July 21, 2004 –Dialog Semiconductor Plc
(FWB: DLG, Nasdaq: DLGS,) today reported sales of EUR 30.4 million for the second quarter of 2004, a 32% sequential increase over EUR 23.0 million for Q1 2004, and a 44% growth compared to EUR 21.1 million for Q2 of 2003. A 2.9% improvement in gross margin compared to Q2 of 2003 combined with the revenue increase resulted in an operating profit for the company of
EUR 33 thousand and net income of EUR 125 thousand. Growth was driven by wireless and automotive markets. Key achievements during the quarter included the launch of three standard products to satisfy the demand for sophisticated power management, audio and displays in mobile phone handsets, and the ramping up to volume production of these and other integrated circuit (IC) devices for manufacturers of the latest handsets –including 3G products –in Asia.

Roland Pudelko, CEO & president said, “Our results for this quarter and the trend this year show that our strategy of offering application specific standard products (ASSPs) is working and is making us a stronger player in the market. Increasingly, the world’s leading companies are finding Dialog Semiconductor an attractive partner to work with because of our focused approach –we concentrate on developing products based around our core competences, and we utilize manufacturing and assembly partners to ensure products are delivered quickly”.

“This is demonstrated by our new liquid crystal display driver ICs, which are already shipping in volume, as announced in conjunction with Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing recently.”He added, “In addition to ramping up volume production of another power management device, we are also seeing increasing interest from companies in our latest products, with requests for samples, demos, and evaluation boards. At this mid-way stage in the year, we are confident of reaching our target revenue growth of 30% for the full year”.

The new products launched by Dialog Semiconductor during the quarter were:

Revenues

Revenues were €53.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with €42.1 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in revenues primarily results from higher sales volumes in our wireless communication and automotive markets which more than offset a decline in revenues in our industrial applications sector during the period. Revenues in the wireless communications sector were €40.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with €29.5 million for the corresponding period in the prior year, comprising 75% and 70% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Revenues from our automotive applications sector were €6.8 million and €4.3 million, representing 13% and 10% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Revenues from our industrial applications sector were €5.3 million and €7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 respectively, or 10% and 18% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Other revenues were €1.2 million and €1.0 million, representing 2% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Regional growth was particularly strong in Germany where revenue increased from €18.5 million to €25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, as well as in China where revenue increased from €6.4 million to €7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Due to the shipments of new products in volume production to the market we expect revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 to be higher than those for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists of the costs of outsourcing production and assembly, related personnel costs and applicable overhead and depreciation of test and other equipment. Cost of sales increased by 19.7% from €29.4 million (or 69.9% of our total revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to €35.2 million (or 65.9% of our total revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 in line with increased production volumes. In addition, as a result of higher production volume, our internal testing operation has been running at an increased utilization level, which in turn has decreased per unit production costs and decreased cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin increased from 30.1% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 34.1% of revenues for six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in per unit production costs was the primary factor contributing to an increase in our gross margin.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, travel expenses, sales commissions and costs associated with advertising and other marketing activities. Selling and marketing expenses increased from €2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to €2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due primarily to sales commissions incurred in connection with higher sales volumes. As a percentage of total revenues, selling and marketing expenses increased from 4.9% to 5.1%.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and support costs for our finance, human resources, information systems and other management departments. General and administrative expenses were €2.7 million and €2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased from 6.2% of total revenues to 5.1% of total revenues resulting from the proportionally higher revenue base.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist principally of unreimbursed design and engineering related costs associated with the development of new application specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”) and application specific standard products (“ASSPs”). Research and development expenses decreased 11.8% from €16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to €14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in research and development expenses primarily results from continued cost savings following the closure of our Swedish subsidiary. Research and development expenses decreased from 38.5% to 26.8% as a percentage of total revenues, resulting both from the absolute decrease and the proportionately higher revenue base. We expect to continue to incur research and development costs at the current level in connection with the development of ASICs and ASSPs. Our ability to generate revenues in the long-term depends on achieving technical feasibility from our research and development programs, and on customers accepting our designs and implementing them in large-scale production.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was €1.0 million as compared to €1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of 13.0%. Intangible assets subject to amortization include ASIC design software, a 16 bit microcontroller, licenses and certain imaging patents. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Restructuring and Related Impairment Charges

In the first quarter of 2003 we decided to close our Swedish subsidiary. In connection with the closure of the facility, we recorded restructuring charges of €1.5 million and impairment charges of €0.3 million, totaling € 1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. In the first quarter of 2004 we settled a lease obligation in connection with the closure and incurred additional costs of €0.1 million. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Operating Loss

We reported an operating loss of €2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and €11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of 76.6%. This decrease in operating loss was primarily due to a higher gross margin, lower research and development expenses and lower restructuring and impairment charges in the first six months ended June 30, 2004.

Interest Income, net

Interest and similar income, net from the Company’s investments (primarily short-term deposits and securities) increased from €0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to €0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflecting higher cash equivalents and marketable securities balances in the first six months ended June 30, 2004.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gains and Losses, net

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses result from amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the period end remeasurement of foreign currency denominated receivables, prepaid expenses and payables into Euro. Foreign currency exchange losses, net increased from €0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to €0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Recovery of Investment

In the fourth quarter of 2001, we determined that our ability to recover the full amount of our investments in silicon supplier ESM Holding Limited (“ESM”) was impaired. Accordingly we wrote off our investments in ESM. In March 2002, International Rectifier acquired ESM. As a result we were able to recover €0.1 million and €0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit was €0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with €3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, representing effective income tax benefit rates of 36.0% and 30.2%, respectively. The primary reason for the lower effective tax benefit rate in the six months ended June 30, 2003 is the fact that certain costs related to the closing of our Swedish operations are not deductible for tax purposes and that a valuation allowance was recognized on the deferred tax assets related to our former Swedish operations because the benefits of these assets are no longer expected to be realized.

Net Loss

For the reasons described above, we reported net loss of €1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with net loss of €7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Cash flows

Cash generated from operating activities was €6.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with cash provided by operating activities of €2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in cash generated from operating activities principally resulted from lower operating losses.  In addition, although our business volume increased significantly our working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities) increased by only €0.6 million.

Cash used for investing activities decreased from €4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to €0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due primarily to increased purchases of property, plant and equipment by €3.1 million, offset by a net sale of marketable securities (€7.0 million). Cash used for investing activities consisted mostly of the purchase of test equipment, tooling (masks), laboratory and electronic data processing equipment in the amounts of €6.6 million and €3.5 million for the six months ended June 30 2004 and 2003 respectively, as well as the purchase of software, licenses and patents in the amounts of €0.4 million and €1.1 million for the same respective periods.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2004 we had €14.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and €37.7 million in marketable securities. The working capital at June 30,2004 was €71.3 million. As a result of our increase in business volume, our accounts receivables, inventories and accounts payables increased from €14.3 million, €13.2 million and €7.2 million at December 30, 2003 to €17.4 million, €19.9 million and €17.1 million at June 30, 2004, respectively.

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash from operations, cash from the issuance of ordinary shares, short-term borrowings and the recovery of the investment in ESM Limited. As of June 30, 2004 we had no long-term debt. We have no arrangements with unconsolidated, variable interest entities. We expect to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents in 2004 to finance working capital resulting from expected increased business volumes. A decrease in customer demand for our products caused by unfavorable industry conditions or an inability to develop new products in response to technological changes could materially reduce the amount of cash generated from operations.

If necessary, we have available for use a short-term credit facility of €12.5 million that bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR + 0.75% per annum. At June 30, 2004 we had no amounts outstanding under this facility. Accordingly, we believe the funding available from these and other sources will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements in the near to medium term.

Backlog

In accordance with Frankfurt Stock Exchange rules and regulations, companies are required to disclose information regarding their backlog. Purchase order patterns of our customers can vary widely and therefore no consistent shipping arrangements have been established. “Ship-to-line”agreements with major customers underlie our responsibility to act on a timely basis to ensure appropriate inventory levels and production capabilities. Other customers place purchase orders ranging from four to twelve weeks and provide forecasts for a further period, generally not to exceed twelve months, and these purchase orders are not legally binding. Since any backlog information published would not be based on a consistent pattern of purchase orders by our customers, we believe such information not to be meaningful and, accordingly, do not provide such information here.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Table of Contents

To the Board of Directors of Dialog Semiconductor Plc:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Dialog Semiconductor Plc and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Dialog Semiconductor Plc and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended; and in our report dated February 17, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Table of Contents

(In thousands of €, unless otherwise stated)

1. Description of Business

Dialog Semiconductor Plc and subsidiaries ("Dialog" or the "Company") is a fabless semiconductor company that develops and supplies power management, audio and imaging technology, delivering innovative mixed signal standard products as well as application specific IC solutions for wireless, automotive and industrial applications. The company’s expertise in mixed signal design, with products manufactured entirely in CMOS technology, enhances the performance and features of wireless, hand-held and portable electronic products. Its technology is also used in intelligent control circuits in automotive and industrial applications. Production of these designs is then outsourced, and the final products are returned to Dialog for approval and testing before delivery to the customers.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2004.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and judgments include the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets, the realizability of deferred income tax assets and inventories, and the fair value of stock-based employee compensation awards. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from historical results include, but are not limited to, the highly cyclical nature of both the semiconductor and wireless communications industries, dependence on certain customers and the ability to obtain adequate supply of sub-micron wafers.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan that is accounted for using the intrinsic-value-based method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Under this method, no stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income (loss), as all options granted by the plan had an exercise price equal to market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. As allowed by SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. The Company does not currently have any involvement with variable interest entities. Therefore, the initial adoption of the Interpretation did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Segment Reporting

4. Restructuring and Related Impairment Charges

a) Restructuring Charges

In the first quarter of 2003 the Company decided to close the Swedish subsidiary. Restructuring charges incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2003, include termination benefits that were paid to all employees affected by the closing of €1,076 and a provision for estimated costs that will continue to be incurred under an operating lease for the building for its remaining term without economic benefit to the Company of €419. In the first quarter of 2004 the Company settled its building lease obligation in connection with the closure and recognized an additional charge of €59. The pretax amounts for the restructuring charges are comprised of the following:
