London, UK, 12 January 2015 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a
provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC, solid state lighting
and Bluetooth(R) Smart wireless technology, today announces record Q4 2014
IFRS revenue of approximately $435 million, slightly above the high end of
its guidance for the quarter and driven by strong demand in its Mobile
Systems segment throughout December.

This represents a 24% year on year Q4 growth with full year IFRS revenue
expected to end at approximately $1,156 million, representing 28% growth
over FY 2013.

Dialog anticipates an increase in cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $67 million in Q4 2014 which includes a $40 million early
debt repayment. The strong cash generation of the business has allowed the
company to return to a bank debt free position significantly ahead of
schedule. At 31 December 2014 the company anticipates a cash and cash
equivalent balance of approximately $325 million.
