NEWPORT BEACH, CA--(Marketwire - December 17, 2008) - Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ MSPD ]), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, today announced an update to its business outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company now expects revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to be in the range of $30.5 million to $31.5 million. The Company's previous guidance for first fiscal quarter revenue was to be in the range of $33.6 million to $36.8 million. The revision in guidance is attributable to weaker than expected customer ordering trends in its wide area networking (WAN) business due primarily to the current macroeconomic environment.

Mindspeed is scheduled to release its earnings results for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 on February 2, 2009.
