Item 2.02     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 28, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing its third quarter fiscal year 2009 results. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit No. 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  The press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company and cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

The information contained in Items 2.02 and 9.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement Cirrus Logic's financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the attached press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results for this quarter is included in the financial statements portion of the attached press release. Non-GAAP financial information is not meant as a substitute for GAAP results, but is included because management believes such information is useful to our investors for informational and comparative purposes. In addition, certain non-GAAP financial information is used internally by management to evaluate and manage the company. As a note, the non-GAAP financial information used by Cirrus Logic may differ from that used by other companies.  These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 26, 2009, the Cirrus Logic Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $20 million.  The repurchases will be funded from existing cash and may be effected from time to time depending on general market and economic conditions and in accordance with applicable securities laws.
