San Jose, CA, October 24, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Third quarter revenues totaled $58.2 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 1.7%, from $59.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. Weaknesses in the industrial end market, primarily in China, led to the decline in revenues for the quarter. This decrease was partially offset by a solid sequential increase in revenues from the automotive and mobile end markets.
Third quarter 2013 GAAP net income of $4.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compares to second quarter 2013 GAAP net income of $5.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, and GAAP net income of $4.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the same period in 2012. Third quarter 2013 non-GAAP net income of $5.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compares to second quarter 2013 non-GAAP net income of $6.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $6.0 million, or $0.10 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 income tax effects.

Commenting on the third quarter 2013 results, Micrel’s President and CEO Ray Zinn said, “At the top line, third quarter revenues of $58.2 million indicate a weakness in the industrial end market. This was partially offset by growth in sales in the automotive and mobile end markets, where revenues increased nicely on a sequential basis. While bookings were down from the second quarter, year-to-date our book to bill ratio remains above 1:1, reflecting the solid design win momentum Micrel has experienced over the past year. Although we remain pleased with our operational execution, gross margin declined sequentially in the third quarter to 50.7 percent from 52.5 percent. The lower gross margin in the third quarter resulted from a shift in mix from higher gross margin industrial products to lower gross margin mobile handset products. We remain focused on increasing shareholder value through our stock repurchase program and quarterly dividend payments. During this past quarter, Micrel spent $8.5 million to repurchase nearly 855,000 shares of common stock. The Board also authorized an additional $30.0 million in further stock repurchases and declared a cash dividend of $0.05 for the quarter.”
Outlook
Mr. Zinn continued, “We expect that Micrel’s design win momentum over the past year will result in the Company growing at or above the industry average in 2014. We are particularly excited with respect to the growth potential of our Timing and Communications product group, which was enhanced with the acquisitions of PhaseLink and, most recently, Discera. The integration of both acquisitions is progressing smoothly. These acquisitions include world class timing products that we believe can achieve an annual growth rate of more than 15 percent. We are confident in our ability to apply the technologies that we have acquired through these acquisitions to higher margin communication markets, thus improving our overall gross margins. Our LAN Solutions group is also beginning to generate good traction from our VoIP portfolio both in telephony and embedded applications, while our Linear and Power Solutions group, with its focus on high performance switcher modules, will help the Company diversify from its concentration in low drop out regulators to the higher margin, higher power current switcher market.
“Looking specifically to the fourth quarter, based upon current backlog, inventory levels and demand estimates, Micrel projects fourth quarter 2013 revenue growth will be in the range of 0 percent to +4 percent. In addition, the Company estimates that fourth quarter 2013 GAAP net income will be approximately $0.05 to $0.08 per diluted share,” Mr. Zinn concluded.

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 income taxes. 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.
