Exhibit 99.1 FOR RELEASE: NOVEMBER 18, 2003 4:00 P.M. EST ANALOG DEVICES REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2003 NORWOOD, Massachusetts - Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, today announced revenues of $558 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, an increase of 22% compared to the same quarter one year ago and 7% above the immediately prior quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $0.23 for the fourth quarter, up from $0.09 for the same period one year ago and $0.21 for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The fourth quarter results include a restructuring charge of $9.2 million ($0.02 per share) related to the decision to exit a small manufacturing business in Europe that was supplying foundry substrate services for optical applications. Excluding this charge, the diluted EPS would have been $0.25 for the fourth quarter. Revenues for the fiscal year 2003, which ended November 1, 2003, were $2.05 billion, up 20% year-over-year. Fiscal 2003 diluted EPS increased to $0.78, up from the fiscal 2002 EPS of $0.28. "The fourth quarter wrapped up what turned out to be a great year for ADI," said Mr. Jerald G. Fishman, president and CEO. "Continuing strong orders led to fourth-quarter revenues coming in higher than we had anticipated at the beginning of the quarter, with substantial contributions from both analog and DSP products. "In the fourth quarter, orders for shipment in the next 13 weeks grew by approximately 30% from the prior quarter. Orders grew in every region of the world and in both the distributor and OEM channels. Order growth continued to be the strongest in Asia as the digital consumer, wireless terminal and PC markets all posted strong results. We also saw strong demand from our broad base of customers serving all other end markets. "Gross margins for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 increased to 55.8% of sales, up from 55.1% of sales in the prior quarter. Days cost of sales in inventory fell to 106 days in the fourth quarter compared to 116 days in the previous quarter." Commenting on the balance sheet Mr. Fishman said, "The balance sheet continued to strengthen during the fourth quarter. Cash from operations was $105 million and capital expenditures were limited to $18 million, resulting in `free cash flow' of $87 million. During the quarter we redeemed our $1.2 billion of convertible debt and ended the quarter with $2.1 billion of cash and short-term investment balances and no debt."

Regarding the near-term outlook, Mr. Fishman said, "We are planning for the recovery that began seven quarters ago for ADI to continue in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Demand accelerated during the fourth quarter and we are entering the first quarter with the highest level of backlog we have seen over the last two years. As a result, we are planning for revenues to grow approximately 5% sequentially and for EPS to be in the range of $0.27 to $0.28 in the first quarter of fiscal 2004." In a separate press release issued today, the company announced that the Board of Directors of ADI declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on December 17, 2003 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on November 28, 2003.
