SILICON LABORATORIES RESULTS EXCEED EXPECTATIONS

 

Company Reports Strong Quarterly Performance and Outlook—

 

AUSTIN, Texas — April 25, 2012 — Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today reported first quarter revenue of $125.7 million, a five percent increase compared to the same period last year.  GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.33 and $0.43, respectively, also exceeded expectations and represented solid growth versus the first quarter of 2011.

 

Financial Highlights

 

Strong new product cycles largely offset anticipated seasonal weakness, driving revenue upside.  First quarter revenue declined by less than one percent sequentially, setting the stage for a strong start to 2012. On a GAAP-basis, gross margin declined to 59.7 percent. R&D investment was $32.9 million and SG&A expense was $25.4 million. Resulting GAAP operating income was 13 percent, an improvement over the same period a year ago. Net income was 11 percent of revenue. Diluted GAAP earnings per share of 33 cents increased 14 percent sequentially, a six quarter high.

 

The following non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock compensation and other one-time items.  Significant strength in the company’s video products resulted in a mix shift during the quarter. Gross margin therefore declined to 60.0 percent.  R&D remained about flat at $29.3 million, while SG&A increased slightly to $23.3 million.  Operating income, therefore, was better than expected at 18 percent of revenue, and net income was 15 percent of revenue. Solid operational results provided significant earnings leverage resulting in diluted earnings per share of 43 cents, a 7.5 percent year on year increase.  Reconciling charges are set forth in the financial measures table included below.

 



 

The company ended the quarter with $351 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments due to continued healthy cash flow from operations.

 

Business Highlights

 

First quarter revenue upside was driven by continued strength in video and touch controllers, as well as solid demand for MCU and power-related products.

 

The company’s video products ramped into new design wins as TV makers began to build their new models for 2012.  Market share gains were behind the more than 30 percent revenue growth compared to the same period a year ago. Continued momentum at the company’s large touch controller customer also contributed to the first quarter performance as demand outpaced original forecasts.

 

The MCU product line benefitted from some demand recovery in the communications and industrial end markets, growing slightly sequentially despite seasonal weakness in consumer end markets. Isolation and related power product revenue also increased due to market share gains.

 

“As I take the helm, I see tremendous potential for the business. We have the right team, the product line up and the market runway to become one of the leaders in the semiconductor industry,” said Tyson Tuttle, president and CEO of Silicon Laboratories. “We’re building a set of capabilities that I feel strongly are going to be the backbone of a very substantial and valuable piece of our business in the future.”

 

The company expects revenue for the second quarter to be up three to seven percent sequentially.
