SILICON LABORATORIES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Strong Operational Performance Drives Earnings Leverage—

 

AUSTIN, Texas — Oct. 26, 2011 — Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today reported third quarter revenue of $119.1 million and GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.26 and $0.44, respectively.

 

Financial Highlights

 

The company detected and communicated market weakness early in the quarter and delivered solid top-line performance relative to the guidance and good operational controls, enabling better than anticipated earnings results.

 

On a GAAP basis, which includes approximately $9.1 million in non-cash stock compensation charges, gross margin improved to 61.2 percent for the third quarter. R&D investment was down in the third quarter to $31.7 million, and SG&A was $27.3 million, resulting in operating income of 12 percent. This resulted in fully diluted GAAP earnings per share of $0.26.

 

The following non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock compensation expense and certain other one-time items. Non-GAAP gross margin was 61.5 percent as a result of product mix changes including better than anticipated results in the company’s Broadcast products and macro-related declines in the Broad-based and Access products. Operating expenses declined meaningfully.  Specifically, R&D expense was $28.1 million and SG&A was $22.4 million resulting in operating income of 19 percent.  Resulting third quarter non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.44.  The reconciling charges are set forth in the financial measures table included below.

 



 

The company ended the quarter with $301 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments due to continued healthy cash flow from operations partially offset by share repurchases. Share repurchases during the quarter totaled $86 million, completing the current repurchase authorization and bringing the total shares repurchased to date to 22.4 million. The company’s board of directors approved a new authorization for $50 million that will run through April 2012.

 

Business Highlights

 

The company’s third quarter performance reflected weakening demand across end markets.  Visibility remained limited as customers continued to be cautious about building inventory in light of an uncertain demand environment.  However, the Timing products had another record revenue quarter, with new products driving wins in a broad set of applications, supporting further diversification. The company also reported record design wins in both MCU and Timing, two of its leading product lines.

 

The Broadcast products benefitted from some seasonal lift during the quarter, resulting in growth in audio products. The video products also fared better than expected and TV inventory issues that tempered growth appeared to have been largely resolved during the quarter.

 

“While the macro-economic headwinds are still weighing heavily on the industry, we do expect our new product cycles to help us start outperforming our peers in the fourth quarter,” said Necip Sayiner, president and CEO of Silicon Laboratories. “I’m optimistic about the traction we’re getting with new products and believe that with the improved complexion of our business and continued focus on market share gains, we’ll benefit disproportionately when the market environment improves.”

 

The company expects revenue for the fourth quarter to be in the range of up 3 percent to down 3 percent sequentially.
