AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2007--Silicon
Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance,
analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today
reported fourth quarter revenue of $111 million.
Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights
Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 53.4 percent, which was
above the company's previously stated guidance range of 52 to 53
percent. GAAP operating income was $2.6 million. Non-GAAP operating
income was $12.7 million, or 11.4 percent of revenue. GAAP net income
for the fourth quarter was $5.2 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted
share. Non-GAAP net income, excluding certain charges, was $13.5
million, or $0.24 per fully diluted share. The reconciling charges are
set forth in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures
table included below.
The company's balance sheet continued to be strong with cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments totaling approximately $386
million at December 30, 2006. During the quarter, the company
repurchased shares of its common stock under its repurchase program at
a cost of approximately $15 million.
"We achieved year-over-year revenue growth while managing through
multiple product transitions in our mobile handset business and
experiencing an overall industry slowdown in the second half of the
year," said Necip Sayiner, President and CEO of Silicon Laboratories.
"We continue to create a diverse set of growth drivers within our
business and execute on our new product introductions in our effort to
drive double digit growth in 2007."
Business Summary
During the fourth quarter, the company experienced strong demand
for its Broadcast products, in particular FM tuners and satellite
receivers. The broad-based mixed-signal business experienced a slight
decline on a sequential basis due to lower modem shipments.
The mobile handset business performed within the company's
guidance for the fourth quarter. Silicon Laboratories experienced a
decline in the total GSM/GPRS transceiver shipments, which was largely
offset by the increase in EDGE transceiver shipments, initial
AeroFONE(TM) revenue and FM tuner growth.
Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2007, the company anticipates revenue to
be in a range of $106 to $111 million.
