Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This press release includes statements that qualify as forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements about the following topics: future financial results, including revenues, customer demand and inventories, order lead times, backlog, turns-fill requirements, net income, earnings per share, gross margin, average selling prices, the effect of cost-control efforts, use of free cash flow, stock buyback and dividend programs, supply chain constraints, channel inventory levels and trends, capacity utilization, development of new products, design wins and customer order patterns, and the nature and extent of macro-economic and industry trends. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, such factors as: softness in demand for Micrel products; customer decisions to cancel, reschedule, or delay orders for Micrel's products; the effect that lead times and channel inventories have on the demand for Micrel's products; distributor acceptance of changing contract terms; economic or financial difficulties experienced by Micrel customers; the effect of business conditions in the computing, wireless, telecommunications and industrial markets; the impact of any previous or future acquisitions; challenges involving integration of acquired businesses and utilization of acquired technology, market adoption, revenue growth and margins of acquired products; changes in demand for the Company's products; the impact of competitive products and pricing and alternative technological advances; the accuracy of estimates used to prepare the Company's financial statements and forecasts; the global economic situation; the ability of the Company's vendors and subcontractors to supply or manufacture the Company's products in a timely manner; the timely and successful development and market acceptance of new products and upgrades to existing products; softness in the economy and the U.S. stock markets as a whole; fluctuations in the market price of Micrel's common stock and other market conditions; the difficulty of predicting Micrel's future cash needs; the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company from time to time; Micrel's operating cash flow, and economic and industry projections. For further discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to the documents the Company files with the SEC from time to time, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. All forward-looking statements are made as of today, and the Company disclaims any duty to update such statements.

Non-GAAP Reporting

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes it is helpful information for investors and financial analysts in their analysis of historical results and projections of the Company's future operating results. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exclude the impact of revenues and the related cost of revenues from the conversion of certain distributors to a sell-in revenue recognition model, share-based compensation, restructuring charges and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets with the related income tax effects and R&D tax credit. Non-GAAP results without the one-time adjustment exclude the impact of revenues and the related cost of revenues from the conversion of distributors to a sell-in revenue recognition model with the related income tax effects. The Company believes this provides a better comparison of results in the current period to those in prior periods as well as provides information regarding the Company's on-going operating performance after exclusion of these items. The Company has reconciled such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the financial tables at the end of this press release.

References to these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results that are prepared under current accounting standards, but should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures may differ from non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies.

*  Non-GAAP  net  income  was  reached  by  excluding  revenues  and  the  related  cost
of  revenues  from  the  conversion  of  distributors  to  sell-in  revenue                    
recognition  model,  share-based  compensation  expense,  restructuring  charges    
and  amortization  of  acquisition-related  intangible  assets  with  related            
income  tax  effects  and  R&D  tax  credit.  Non-GAAP  results  were  presented  to      
supplement  our  GAAP  consolidated  financial  statements  to  allow  a  better          
comparison  of  results  in  the  current  period  to  those  in  prior  periods  and  to
provide  meaningful  insight  to  the  Company's  on-going  operating  performance    
after  exclusion  of  these  items.
