Financial Report: Cyrix Record Year 1994 Profits up 92%; Revenues up 97% from 1993 Richardson, Texas - January 19, 1995 - Cyrix Corporation (NASDAQ: CYRX), a manufacturer of high performance x86 microprocessors, today announced record revenues and profits for the final quarter of 1994. Cyrix's net sales of $246 million in 1994 increased by 97% compared to 1993; net income of $37.6 million in 1994 increased by 92% compared to 1993. Cyrix posted earnings per share of $1.88 in 1994 compared to $1.06 in 1993. Net sales for the final quarter of 1994 were $73 million, exceeding fourth quarter 1993 net sales of $32.8 million by 123%. Cyrix posted record net income of $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 1994, an increase of 20% over third quarter 1994 results and up substantially from fourth quarter 1993 earnings of $1.2 million. On a per-share basis, Cyrix earned $0.63 for the fourth quarter of 1994 compared to $0.06 for fourth quarter 1993. "By any measure, 1994 was a great year for Cyrix," noted Jerry Rogers, president and CEO. "We hit several important milestones such as our manufacturing relationship with IBM, our product transition to the 486DX2 family and nearly doubling sales from 1993." In 1994, Cyrix transitioned its product mix from entry level lines such as the 486SLC and 486DLC microprocessors and math coprocessors to primarily 486DX and 486DX2 microprocessors. In the fourth quarter, Cyrix almost quadrupled the volume of its 486DX2/66 shipments compared to the prior quarter. Cyrix began volume production of the DX2/80 in January 1995. If yields continue improving, Cyrix will be able to meet more of its customers' demand during the first quarter for the DX2/80. The M1 microprocessor, using .5 micron technology from IBM and SGS Thomson Microelectronics, is slated to be the highest performance x86 microprocessor in the market and is currently operational in computer systems. Rogers, commenting on the M1, said, "Our internal testing and benchmarks have exceeded our early performance expectations. We are making modifications to the current chip and expect to complete testing and have samples available in February." Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet
