MICREL REPORTS 2013 FIRST QUARTER
FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues of $59.7 million, down 4.2% from the prior quarter
GAAP net income of $5.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $0.08 per diluted share in the prior quarter
Non-GAAP net income of $6.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share compared to a net income of $0.08 per diluted share in the prior quarter
Gross margin of 52.0%, compared to 50.3% in the prior quarter
First quarter book to bill at 1:1
Micrel declares a quarterly dividend of $0.0425 per share
San Jose, CA, Apr. 25, 2013 - Micrel, Incorporated (Nasdaq NM: MCRL), a leading global manufacturer of IC solutions for the worldwide high performance linear and power, LAN and timing and communications markets, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
First quarter revenues totaled $59.7 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 4.2%, from $62.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. This decrease in revenues was driven by continued weakness in the computing and communications end-markets. Compared to the same period of last year, first quarter 2013 revenues were lower by $1.4 million, or 2.3%.
First quarter 2013 GAAP net income of $5.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compares to fourth quarter 2012 GAAP net loss of $4.5 million, or a loss of $0.08 per diluted share, and GAAP net income of $5.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the same period in 2012. First quarter 2013 non-GAAP net income of $6.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compares to a fourth quarter 2012 non-GAAP net income of $4.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $7.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in the same period of 2012. A reconciliation of the GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income is provided in the financial tables at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense with the related tax effects and deferred tax asset adjustment.

Commenting on the first quarter 2013 results, Micrel's President and CEO Ray Zinn said, “We continue to face macro-economic challenges. At the top line, we saw weakness in the computing and communications end markets. This was partially offset by growth in sales in the consumer end market, where revenues increased nicely on a sequential quarterly basis. Bookings were solid in the quarter with a book to bill ratio of 1:1 driven by strength in the industrial end market. In addition, I was pleased with our operational execution as evidenced by an improved gross margin of 52.0% for the quarter, up sequentially from 50.3%. We remain keenly focused on expense management with a nearly $1.8 million sequential quarter reduction in operating expenses that helped expand operating margins compared to the prior quarter. We also continue to maintain a strong balance sheet and ended the first quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments of $111.7 million, or $1.89 per share providing Micrel with significant financial flexibility.”
Outlook
Mr. Zinn continued, “We are pleased with our financial management and our success in stabilizing gross margins.  In addition, we are also encouraged by the improvements we have seen in our industrial, auto and consumer end markets.  We believe that Micrel is executing at a high level from an operational perspective, and we will continue to remain intensely focused on expense management.  Looking ahead, I am excited about the new products that we are introducing and believe that they will be drivers of growth for Micrel in the years to come.
“Based upon current inventory levels and demand estimates, the Company projects second quarter 2013 revenue growth will be in a range of plus 2% to 6% on a sequential basis.  Gross profit margin is expected to be in the range of 51% to 52%.  In addition, the Company estimates that second quarter 2013 GAAP net income will be approximately $0.07 to $0.09 per diluted share,” Mr. Zinn concluded.
Dividend
The Company announced today that Micrel's Board of Directors has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0425 per share of common stock. The payment of this dividend will be made on May 22, 2013, to shareholders of record as of May 8, 2013.

Non-GAAP Reporting
The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures only because investors and financial analysts use non-GAAP results in their analysis of historical results and projections of the Company's future operating results. The Company's management uses non-GAAP measures on a limited basis, primarily for employee performance-based compensation. In order to facilitate the computation of non-GAAP results for the financial analyst community and investors, the Company makes reference to non-GAAP net income and earnings per share. These non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense with related taxes and a valuation allowance established against California deferred tax assets. Micrel references those results to allow a better comparison of results in the current period to those in prior periods and to provide insight to the Company's on-going operating performance after exclusion of these items. The Company has reconciled such non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the financial tables at the end of this press release.
Reference to these non-GAAP results 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. It should also be noted that Micrel's non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
