INTERSIL CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Intersil Corporation (“Intersil”) is a global designer and manufacturer of high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) for applications in the industrial, computing, communications and high-end consumer electronics markets.

In our opinion, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. We prepared these unaudited financial statements in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, using management estimates where necessary. We derived the December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet from our audited consolidated year-end financial statements. You should read this interim report in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

We utilize a 52/53 week fiscal year, ending on the nearest Friday to December 31. The next 53 week period will be in 2013. Quarterly or annual periods vary from exact calendar quarters or years.

Past financial performance may not be indicative of future financial performance for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. For example, sales in the high-end consumer and computing markets have historically experienced weaker demand in the first and second fiscal quarters and stronger demand in the third and fourth quarters. However, recent economic events, acquisitions and the cyclical nature of the industry have had a greater impact on quarterly fluctuations in recent years.

Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Note 2—Investments

Investments designated as available for sale (AFS) are reported at fair value. We record the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI). We determine the cost of securities sold based on the specific identification method. Realized gains or losses and impairment losses, such as other-than-temporary losses on equity securities and the credit component of other-than-temporary losses on debt securities, are recorded in other-than-temporary impairment losses on the accompanying financial statements.

We classify all investments maturing in one year or less as short-term and all investments maturing in more than one year as long-term.

We classify auction rate securities (ARS) and preferred equity securities as available for sale and record them at fair value. During the quarter ended April 2, 2010, we determined that certain of our equity securities had declines in value that were other-than-temporary and we recorded a $1.1 million impairment charge on the securities. Impairment charges are included in other-than-temporary impairment losses in the accompanying financial statements. The amortized cost of these securities is reduced by the recognized losses.

We recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the non-credit component in OCI when we do not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery. In determining whether an other-than-temporary loss is due to credit loss, we consider many factors including the adverse conditions related to a security, industry or geographic region, the failure of an issuer to make interest or principal payments, and rating changes of the security or issuer made by rating agencies. We did not recognize a non-credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in other comprehensive income in the quarter ended April 1, 2011.

The following table presents a rollforward of the amount related to credit losses on debt securities recognized in earnings (in millions):

During the quarter ended April 1, 2011, approximately $10.1 million of our ARS were called at par. There were no recognized gains or losses included in income during the quarters ended April 1, 2011 or April 2, 2010.

As of April 1, 2011, we had recorded a total unrealized loss of $0.6 million and a related deferred tax benefit of $1.9 million, which includes additional deferred tax benefits related to intercompany transfers. The total net unrealized gain of $1.3 million is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. We have concluded that the unrealized losses are temporary for the following reasons:

 

   

we do not intend to sell the securities;

 

   

we believe it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the securities prior to the recovery of amortized cost; and

 

   

the unrealized losses are due to conditions other than a credit loss.

Table of Contents

We may be required to record additional impairment charges if additional declines in value are determined to be other-than-temporary. The fair value of these securities has been estimated based on our fair value estimates, which could change significantly based on market conditions.

Trading Investments

Trading investments consist exclusively of a portfolio of marketable mutual funds and corporate owned life insurance in a qualified deferred employee compensation plan. We have an offsetting liability recorded for the investments. The funds are recorded at fair value. We recognize changes in fair value currently in gain on deferred compensation investments and we record changes in the liability in selling, general and administrative expense. We classify these investments as other non-current assets since we have no plan or intent of liquidating or otherwise using these securities in our business operations.

Note 3—Fair Value Measurements

In order to determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities, we utilize three levels of inputs, focusing on the most observable inputs when available. Observable inputs are generally developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about what market participants would use to value the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets which are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities during fiscal years 2010 or 2011.

For actively traded securities, foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps, we generally rely upon the valuations as provided by the third party custodian of these assets or liabilities. For available-for-sale securities, such as illiquid auction rate securities and preferred stock, we use the present value of future expected cash flows to determine fair value. Significant judgments are required in the estimation of fair value, including assumptions about the expected holding period, yield and appropriate discount rates.

Note 4—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments as required by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and those utilized as economic hedges. We use interest rate-related derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations of interest rates, as well as foreign currency derivatives to manage exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. By entering into these instruments, we are exposed from time to time to market risk and credit risk.

Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates or fluctuations in foreign currency rates. We minimize this market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. The counterparties to the agreements relating to our derivative instruments consist of two major international financial institutions with high credit ratings. We do not believe that there is significant risk of nonperformance by these counterparties because we continually monitor the credit ratings of such counterparties. Furthermore, none of our derivative transactions are subject to collateral or other security arrangements and none contain provisions that are dependent on our credit ratings from any credit rating agency. While the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of the volume of these transactions, they do not represent the amount of our exposure to credit risk. The amounts potentially subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed our obligations to the counterparties. As a result of the above considerations, we do not consider the risk of counterparty default to be significant.

Foreign Exchange Exposure Management—We purchase U.S. dollar call options to offset the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our operations, assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro. We enter into these foreign currency exchange contracts to support transactions made in the normal course of business and accordingly, the contracts are not speculative in nature. We use foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge anticipated foreign cash flow commitments up to six months. We recognize changes in the fair value of these undesignated hedges in earnings immediately, which generally offset the changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities being economically hedged. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from economic hedges are classified in the statements of operations consistent with the accounting classification of the items being hedged. We believe our cash flow hedges have been economically effective.

Interest Rate Exposure Management—On June 27, 2010, we entered into certain interest rate swap transactions with a notional value of $150.0 million to hedge a portion of the risk of changes in the benchmark interest rate of the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) related to our currently outstanding term loan. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, we will effectively convert $150.0 million of our variable-rate term-loan to fixed interest rates through October 27, 2013. We designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges to hedge the risk of changes in the benchmark interest. The fair values of the swaps at inception were zero and subsequent changes in the fair values of the swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax benefit, to the extent they are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows.

Table of Contents

We record the fair value of our derivative financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements in other current assets, other assets or accrued liabilities, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the derivative contract. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in earnings or in shareholders’ equity as a component of OCI. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are recorded in OCI, to the extent the derivative instrument is effective. Changes in the fair values of derivatives not designated for hedge accounting and any ineffectiveness measured in designated hedge transactions are reported in earnings as they occur.

Note 6—Goodwill and Purchased Intangibles

Purchased intangibles—Purchased intangibles are definite-lived intangible assets which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Substantially all of our purchased intangibles consist of multiple elements of developed technology which has estimated useful lives of 3 to 11 years. Other purchased intangibles consist of other identifiable assets, primarily customer relationships with an estimated useful life of six years.

We review long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization which are our developed technologies, backlog, customer relationships and intellectual property, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. There were no triggering events in the periods presented herein.

Goodwill—is an indefinite-lived intangible asset that is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The following table summarizes changes in the net goodwill balance for our one reportable segment (in millions):

 

Gross goodwill balance as of December 31, 2010

Adjustment to deferred tax asset related to the Techwell acquisition

     1.4   
        

Goodwill balance as of April 1, 2011

   $ 566.5   
        

We perform a goodwill impairment analysis using the two-step method on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair market value of the reporting unit. We have two reporting units for purposes of the analysis—analog & mixed-signal and power management. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is to identify potential impairment. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no impairment of the goodwill of the reporting unit is indicated and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The adjusted carrying amount of goodwill becomes the new accounting basis.

Goodwill as of April 1, 2011 was $566.5 million. If we experience significant declines in our stock price, market capitalization or future expected cash flows, significant adverse changes in the business climate or slower growth rates, we may need to perform additional impairment analysis of our goodwill in future periods prior to our annual test in the fourth quarter. We can provide no assurance that the significant assumptions used in our analysis will not change substantially and any additional analysis could result in impairment charges.

The remaining UTPs relates primarily to a provision established at the completion of field work on an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax audit for tax years 2005 through 2007. While the audit covered a number of different issues, the provision is largely due to the intercompany pricing of goods and services between different tax jurisdictions. We are currently contesting this matter through the IRS appeals office. As the final resolution of the appeals process remains uncertain, we continue to provide for the uncertain tax positions based on the more likely than not thresholds.

We are currently unable to estimate the amount of accruals that will significantly change in the next 12 months. The major tax jurisdictions in which we operate include the United States, various individual states and several foreign jurisdictions.

Note 8—Long-Term Debt

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we entered into a senior secured loan facility with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, and certain other banks (the “Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement, dated April 27, 2010 (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Facility consists of a $300.0 million term loan facility and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility, which replaced our previous $75.0 million revolving credit facility. Additionally, $10.0 million of the revolving credit facility is available as swingline loans. All of the term loan facility was drawn on at its closing, and none of the revolving loan facility was drawn on at its closing. The term loan facility matures on the sixth anniversary of its closing, and the revolving loan facility matures on the three and one-half year anniversary of its closing. The loans under the term loan facility amortize in equal quarterly installments in annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the term loan facility, with the final installment payable on the date of maturity. Additionally, we are required to repay loans outstanding under the Facility with any Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the proceeds of certain sales of our assets and capital stock.

The Facility is secured by a first priority lien and security interest in (a) all of the equity interests and intercompany debt of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, except, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to the extent that such pledge would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in adverse tax consequences, (b) all of our present and future tangible and intangible assets and our direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries) and (c) all proceeds and products of the property and assets described in clauses (a) and (b) above. Our obligations under the Facility are guaranteed by our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries).

The term loan bears interest at 3.25% over LIBOR subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.50%. The interest rate in effect as of April 1, 2011 was 4.75%. Actual interest paid during the quarter ended April 1, 2011 was $3.6 million at a weighted-average pre-tax interest rate of 4.75%.

Letters of Credit—We issue letters of credit during the ordinary course of business through major financial institutions as required by certain vendor contracts. We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $2.6 million as of April 1, 2011 and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2010. The standby letters of credit are primarily secured by our $75.0 million revolving credit facility.

Dividends—In February 2011, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. We paid dividends of $15.0 million on February 25, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 15, 2011. In April 2011, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 27, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2011.

Note 12—Equity-Based Compensation

We use equity-based compensation plans to enhance our ability to attract, retain and reward talented employees. Shares issued under these plans are made from newly-issued stock. The plans allow several forms of equity compensation including stock options (Options), restricted and deferred stock awards (Awards) and employee stock purchase plans.

Valuations, Assumptions and Terms

We use a binomial lattice model to estimate the fair value of Options, which is amortized as compensation cost over the lesser of the grantee’s requisite service period or the vesting term of the Option. The lattice model uses historical exercise patterns to predict the life of Options and estimates the future volatility of the underlying stock price, considering historical and implied volatility in its calculations.

We used the following assumptions in the lattice model for Options awarded in the periods indicated.

Table of Contents

Generally, our Options vest 25% in the first year and quarterly thereafter over three or four years and have seven year contract lives.

Market value at the date of grant is used as the fair value of Awards. We amortize Awards as compensation cost over the lesser of the requisite service period or the vesting term, which is generally three years for deferred stock units and four years for restricted stock units.

The compensation cost for shares issued under the employee stock purchase plan is 15% of the share price, which is the amount of the discount the employee obtains at the date of the purchase transaction.

Note 15—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”—In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to improve the disclosures for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and

Table of Contents

Level 2 fair value measurements, and separately report information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also updates ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to require an entity to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. Entities should also provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is currently effective. This statement resulted in additional disclosures on fair value measurements.

FASB ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350)”—In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350). ASU 210-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that an impairment of goodwill exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. This statement is currently effective and did not impact our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue and Gross Profit

Revenue for the quarter ended April 1, 2011 increased $9.5 million or 5.0% to $198.9 million from $189.4 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2010. The increase in sales was primarily in the industrial market, driven primarily by recent acquisitions, as well as a revenue increase in the consumer end markets, partially offset by a decline in the computing and communication end markets. Sales into the industrial and consumer end markets increased by 27% and 10%, respectively. Sales into the computing and communication end markets decreased by 9% and 2%, respectively, from the first quarter of 2010 due to a reduction in worldwide demand in our computing products.

Revenues by end market were as follows ($ in millions):

Table of Contents

In aggregate, an 8.6% increase in unit shipments increased net revenue from first quarter of 2010 levels by $16.2 million and average selling prices (ASPs) decreased 3.3%, decreasing revenues by $6.7 million. Declining sales prices at the product level has occurred within the semiconductor industry for much of its existence. While individual products generally experience ASP declines over time, we endeavor to continually introduce new products which typically enter the market at prices higher than existing products. Fluctuations in ASPs are expected to continue into the future.

Geographically, quarter-to-date revenues were derived from the Asia/Pacific, North America and Europe regions as follows ($ in millions):

 

     Quarter ended  
     April 1, 2011     April 2, 2010  
     Revenue      % of Revenue     Revenue      % of Revenue  

Asia/Pacific

   $ 152.7         77   $ 138.5         73

North America

     28.3         14     34.0         18

Europe and other

     17.9         9     16.9         9
                                  

Total

   $ 198.9         100   $ 189.4         100
                                  

We anticipate that our revenue from Asia/Pacific region customers will continue to grow as that region leads in the manufacture of the finished goods (consumer electronics, computers and communications equipment) in which our products are used. End market demand for those products is global, and therefore, dependent on aggregate global economic metrics and conditions such as personal incomes and business activity and not necessarily on Asian and Pacific Rim regional economic factors.

We sell our products to customers in many countries including, in descending order by revenue dollars for our top ten countries, China (including Hong Kong), the United States, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, Singapore, the Netherlands, Thailand, and Italy. Sales to customers in China, including Hong Kong, comprised approximately 54% of revenue, followed by the United States (13%) and South Korea (7%) during the quarter ended April 1, 2011. Three distributors that support a wide range of customers around the world accounted for 12%, 9% and 8% of our revenues in the quarter ended April 1, 2011. Two original design manufacturers accounted for 11% and 9% of our revenues for the quarter ended April 1, 2011.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue consists primarily of purchased materials and services, labor, overhead and depreciation associated with manufacturing pertaining to products sold. During the quarter ended April 1, 2011, gross profit increased $8.1 million or 7.6% to $115.0 million from $106.9 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2010. As a percentage of sales, gross margin was 57.8% during the quarter ended April 1, 2011 compared to 56.4% during the quarter ended April 2, 2010. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to growth in our higher margin industrial end market, higher utilization of resources as sales continue to grow and fluctuations caused by product sales mix changes at the product family level. Generally, our computing and high-end consumer products have lower gross margins than our industrial and communications products.

We strive to improve gross margins from their present levels by emphasizing new high-margin products and cost saving opportunities in our manufacturing chain.

Operating Costs, Expenses and Other Income

Research and Development (R&D)

R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries and expenses of employees engaged in product/process research, design and development activities, as well as related subcontracting activities, prototype development, cost of design tools and technology license agreement expenses.

R&D expenses increased $8.0 million or 19.3% to $49.7 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2011 from $41.7 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2010. We grew our R&D spending primarily through additional employees gained in acquisitions in order to invest in future products and technology essential for long-term growth.

 

22


Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and expenses of employees engaged in selling and marketing our products as well as the salaries and expenses required to perform our human resources, finance, information systems, legal, executive and other administrative functions.

SG&A costs increased by $3.4 million or 10.9% to $35.0 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2011 from $31.6 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2010. The increase was driven by increased sales commissions, compensation expense and increased incentives as sales increased.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets

Amortization of purchased intangible assets increased $4.0 million or 138.6% to $6.9 million in the quarter ended April 1, 2011 from $2.9 million in the quarter ended April 2, 2010. The increase resulted primarily from purchased intangibles due to the acquisition of Techwell.

Acquisition-related Costs

Acquisition-related costs were $0.3 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2011 and $1.0 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2010. For both periods, the costs were primarily related to the acquisition of Techwell in the second fiscal quarter of 2010.

Restructuring

Restructuring costs were $2.3 million in the quarter ended April 1, 2011. The restructuring was part of our ongoing efforts to optimize operations and conclude the integrations of acquired organizations. It included a workforce reduction of approximately 4% and an anticipated reduction in annual operating expenses of approximately $8 million.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest Income

Interest income increased slightly to $0.8 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2011, from $0.7 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2010. The increase is due primarily to higher rates earned on slightly higher average cash balances.

Interest Expense and Fees

Interest expense and fees increased to $4.5 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2011, from $0.2 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2010. The increase was due to interest and fees on the long-term debt agreement entered into during the second quarter of 2010 to fund the acquisition of Techwell.

Gain on Deferred Compensation Investments, Net

We have a liability for a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. We maintain a portfolio of approximately $11.7 million of mutual fund investments and corporate owned life insurance under the plan. Changes in the fair value of the asset are recorded as a gain (loss) on deferred compensation investments and changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded as a component of compensation expense. In general, the compensation expense (benefit) is substantially offset by the gains and losses on the investment. During the quarter ended April 1, 2011, we recorded a gain on deferred compensation investments of $0.2 million and an increase in compensation expense of $0.3 million. During the quarter ended April 2, 2010, we recorded a gain on deferred compensation investments of $0.3 million and an increase in compensation expense of $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Losses

During the quarter ended April 2, 2010, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million, before taxes, on certain preferred equity securities whose decline in fair value was determined to be other-than-temporary. We continue to monitor our securities and intend to hold all of these investments until the anticipated recovery in market value occurs.

Income Tax

Income tax expense for the quarter ended April 1, 2011 was $3.2 million or 18.3% of income before taxes compared with $1.9 million or 6.5% of income before taxes for the quarter ended April 2, 2010. The quarter ended April 2, 2010 included a one-time discrete benefit resulting from the donation of our Fab facilities in Palm Bay, Florida. Excluding this item, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended April 1, 2011was slightly lower due to a greater portion of income in lower tax jurisdictions. Our tax rate is expected to be approximately 18%-20% in future quarters.

In determining net income, we estimate and exercise judgment in the calculation of tax expense and tax liabilities and in assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets that arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of assets and liabilities.

In the ordinary course of business, the ultimate tax outcome of many transactions and calculations is uncertain, as the calculation of tax liabilities involves the application of complex tax laws in the United States and other jurisdictions. We recognize liabilities for additional taxes that may be due on tax audit issues based on an estimate of the ultimate resolution of those issues. Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, the final outcome may be different than amounts we estimate. Such determinations could have a material impact on the income tax provision, effective tax rate and operating results in the period they occur. In addition, the effective tax rate reflected in our forward-looking statements is based on current enacted tax law. Significant changes in enacted tax law could materially impact our estimates.

Backlog

Our sales are made pursuant to purchase orders that are generally booked up to six months in advance of delivery. Our standard terms and conditions of sale provide that these orders may not be cancelled or rescheduled thirty days prior to the most current customer request date for standard products and ninety days prior to the customer request date for semi-custom and custom products. Backlog is influenced by several factors, including end market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product lead times. Additionally, we believe backlog can fall faster than consumption rates in periods of weak end market demand since production lead times can be shorter. Conversely, we believe backlog can grow faster than consumption in periods of strong end market demand as production and delivery times increase and some customers may increase orders in excess of their current consumption to reduce their own risk of production disruptions.

Our six-month backlog was $178.2 million as of April 1, 2011 compared to $166.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and $196.8 million as of April 2, 2010. Although not always the case, we believe backlog can be an indicator of performance in the near future.

Business Outlook

In our first quarter 2011 earnings release, filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K on April 27, 2011, we announced that we anticipate revenues for the second quarter 2011 to be in the range of $204 million to $212 million. Based on this outlook, we stated that we expect second quarter 2011 earnings per diluted share to be between $0.15 and $0.18.

The crisis in Japan had little impact on our upstream supply chain, and we are utilizing our capacity to replace some competing products in short supply. It is difficult to accurately predict the downstream supply chain impact from other component shortages; however, we forecasted slightly lower growth during the second quarter to compensate for this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements have not changed significantly from December 31, 2010. As of April 1, 2011, we had committed to purchase $27.2 million of inventory from suppliers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base; the success, timing and amount of investment required to bring new products to market; revenue growth or decline; and potential acquisitions. We believe that we have the financial resources necessary to meet business requirements for the next 12 months, including our dividend program, the requisite capital expenditures for the maintenance of worldwide manufacturing capacity, working capital requirements and potential future acquisitions or strategic investments. As of April 1, 2011, our total shareholders’ equity was $1,056.3 million and we had $390.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we had $278.2 million in long-term debt outstanding as further described in Note 8 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We had $62.9 million in long-term investments, primarily auction rate securities as of April 1, 2011. These securities are composed of approximately $32.8 million of insurance related securities, $14.5 million of corporate credit securities and $15.6 million of securities collateralized by student loans. We continue to accrue and receive interest on the securities based on a contractual rate. The weighted rate is currently approximately 193 basis points above one month LIBOR.

Our primary sources and uses of cash during the quarters ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010 were as follows (in millions):

For the quarter ended April 1, 2011, our operational cash flows were $31 million compared to $37 million in the quarter ended April 2, 2010. This decrease of $6 million was primarily due to the decrease in net income. We used approximately $2 million for capital expenditures, $20 million to repay indebtedness and $15 million to pay shareholder dividends. Investment balances were decreased by $11 million in the quarter ended April 1, 2011 as certain investments were called. The resulting cash provided was $7 million overall.

Our aim is to continually improve the cash flows from our existing business activities and return a substantial portion of that cash flow to shareholders. We continue to maintain and improve our existing business performance with necessary capital expenditures and acquisitions that may further improve our business and return on investment. Cash, stock, debt or a combination may be issued to fund additional acquisitions to grow our business.

Our cash, cash equivalents and investments give us the flexibility to return free cash flow to our shareholders while also pursuing business improvement opportunities for our future.

Non-cash Working Capital

Trade accounts receivable, less valuation allowances, decreased by $3 million, or 3%, to $86 million as of April 1, 2011 from $89 million as of December 31, 2010. This decrease primarily reflects fluctuations in the timing of payments and increased reserves related to changes in distributor agreements.

Our net inventories decreased by $4 million, or 4%, to $98 million as of April 1, 2011 from $102 million as of December 31, 2010. Our days of inventory as of December 31, 2010 reflect an inventory correction in our end markets and the resulting decrease in sales experienced in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010. We maintained stock of certain high volume products to ensure our lead times remain within customer expectations.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures, net of sales proceeds, were $2 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2011 and $2 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2010. Capital expenditures have been focused primarily on facilities improvements at our Milpitas location and on the expansion of available capacity for test partners to support continuing unit volume growth. We anticipate capital expenditures will remain at current levels in the near term.

Proceeds from Exercises of Stock Options and our Stock Purchase Plan

Cash flow from stock plans (exercises of stock options and sales under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP) was $2 million in the quarter ended April 1, 2011, compared to $3 million received in the quarter ended April 2, 2010. Exercises are decisions of grantees and are influenced by the level of our stock price and by other considerations of grantees. Recent declines in stock price have resulted in many of our options being “underwater” with exercise prices in excess of the current stock price. While the level of cash inflow from exercises is difficult to forecast or control, we believe it will remain a secondary source of cash.

Dividends on Common Stock

In February 2011, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on February 25, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 15, 2011. In April 2011, our Board of Directors also declared a dividend of $0.12 per share, to be paid on May 27, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2011.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Global economic conditions pose a risk to the overall economy as consumers and businesses may defer purchases in response to the uncertainty around tighter credit and negative financial news. These conditions could reduce product demand and affect other related matters. Demand could be different from our expectations due to many factors including changes in business and economic conditions, conditions in the credit market that could affect consumer confidence, customer acceptance of our products, changes in customer order patterns including order cancellations and changes in the level of inventory held by vendors.

Credit markets have tightened as a result of the recent financial crises, resulting in lower liquidity in many financial markets and excess volatility in fixed income, credit and equity markets. We could experience a number of resulting effects, including product delays due to effects experienced by key suppliers; reduced orders and payments as customers are affected by tighter credit markets and/or insolvency; decreased investing and financing options in a tighter market; increased expenses; increased impairments resulting from lower orders and sales as customers experience difficulties obtaining financing; and volatility and extreme changes in the earnings and fair value of our investments.

Moreover, in the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments, entered into for purposes other than trading purposes, to manage our exposure to these risks.

 

26


Table of Contents

Our cash equivalents and investments are subject to three market risks: interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Our investments are primarily held in money market funds, bank time deposits and auction rate securities (ARS). Some of these investments are insured for credit risk.

ARS are subject to substantial risk that the market will fail to provide the opportunity to liquidate on scheduled reset dates. This risk, which we have encountered with regard to our ARS, manifests itself in sponsoring broker-dealers withdrawing from the auction process that provides the rate reset and liquidity.

For further discussion of the risk related to foreign currency exchange rates and market risk, see our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2011.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of April 1, 2011. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our officers concluded that, as of April 1, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our CEO and CFO by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by Intersil in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
