Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. September 2006 Investor Presentation
Notes on Forward Looking Statements and Non- GAAP Measures Comments in this presentation other than statements of historical fact may constitute forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are based on Fairchild management s estimates and projections and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties are described in the Company s periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (see the Business Risks section) and are available at http://www.sec.gov and investor.fairchildsemi.com. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. Some data in this presentation may include non-gaap measures that we believe provide useful information about the operating performance of our businesses that should be considered by investors in conjunction with GAAP measures that we also provide. You can find a reconciliation of non-gaap to comparable GAAP measures at the Investor Relations section of our web site at http://investor.fairchildsemi.com Recent additions to our website at http://investor.fairchildsemi.com Updated Financials (through 2006 Q2, with segment revenue/gross margin breakouts) Quarterly Fact Sheet with 2006 Q2 highlights This investor presentation 2
Q2 Summary Continued Margin Growth Q2 average daily sales rate increased >6% sequentially Gross margins increase 90 bps to 30.8% from prior quarter Distribution re-sales increased >3% QoQ and 9% YoY Channel and internal inventories remain lean and within our target range End market demand remains healthy greatest sales & bookings strength in the industrial end market Effectively managing lead times average lead time peaked at the mid quarter then finished in the 10-12 week range 3
Q3 Mid-Quarter Update Raised guidance to Flat to +2% from previous Flat guidance Q3 sales trend has averaged -2% QoQ for the last 4 years Order rates remained healthy cancellations were lower than expected Better matching of sales into the distribution channel to end market demand appears to be smoothing demand between Q3 and Q4...more sales growth in Q3 and less in Q4 Channel and internal inventories remain lean and within our target range Lead times tracking to same levels as Q2 4
Q3 Mid-Quarter Update End Markets Strongest demand in the industrial end market good order and sales rates Handset order rates have increased through the quarter and are now at very solid levels Computing demand was seasonally slow early in the quarter and began increasing through August Other end markets show normal seasonal demand pattern 5
2006 Strategy for Success Improve the quality of our business Ramp higher margin new products Mix out lower margin, non-core standard products Tightly manage the distribution channel POS focus Maintain inventory in the 10 12 weeks of supply range Continue growing POS and market share Maintain capital expenditure discipline Budget of 6 8% of sales in 2006 Focus capacity adds on higher margin core business Capital budget drives low margin mix out discipline 6

SPM Success - White Goods Integration of system components 6-IGBTs 3-HVICs 1-LVICs Design Considerations Protection circuit using analog components cause time delay and noise. SPM s built-in HVIC and LVIC with protection circuit Fairchild s SPM simplifies design through an integrated inverter-controlled variable speed driver for 3-phase induction motors, low power brushless dc (BLDC) motors, and switched reluctance motors. Assembling these parts might increase manufacturing time and cause low yields. SPM, which integrates all diverse components, enhances productivity while simplifying manufacturing Manufacturing Impact 18
