Item 5. Other Items and Regulation FD Disclosure

LSI Logic Corporation (“LSI Logic” or the “Registrant”) reported revenues of $450 million in the third quarter of 2003, an 11 percent sequential increase compared to the $407 million reported in the second quarter of 2003, and a decline of 8 percent compared to the $487 million reported in the third quarter of 2002.

Cash and short-term investments totaled $987 million at the end of the 2003-third quarter. The Registrant generated positive operating cash flow for the sixth consecutive quarter and repurchased approximately $172 million in convertible notes, eliminating all current debt.

The 2003-third quarter GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) net loss was $32 million or 8 cents a diluted share, including a $25 million charge for restructuring. The 2003-second quarter GAAP net loss was $162 million or 43 cents a diluted share. The Registrant reported a GAAP net loss of $28 million or 7 cents a diluted share in the 2002-third quarter.

Last month, the Registrant signed a definitive agreement to sell the company’s Tsukuba, Japan manufacturing facility and extend its foundry usage. The transaction is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter. When this action is finalized, the Registrant will have completed the consolidation of its internal manufacturing at the Registrant’s Gresham campus, supplemented by strategic foundry engagements.
