AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2007--Silicon
Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance,
analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today
reported strong first quarter results that exceeded the company's
guidance on the top and bottom line.
First Quarter Financial Highlights
First quarter results have almost a full quarter of operations
inclusive of the Aero® products sold on March 23rd, which are now
classified as discontinued operations. During the first quarter of
2007 (on a non-GAAP basis and including the results from discontinued
operations), total revenue increased sequentially to $111.8 million,
gross margin was 52 percent, and operating income was $11.4 million,
or 10 percent of revenue. Net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding
the gain on the sale of the Aero products, was $10.8 million, or $0.19
per fully diluted share, exceeding the high-end of the guidance range
by two cents.
The company's continuing operations made up of its core,
mixed-signal business delivered 11 percent year over year revenue
growth and totaled $73.8 million. GAAP gross margin for the
mixed-signal business increased to 61.5 percent. GAAP operating loss
was $3.7 million. Excluding an $11.8 million charge for stock
compensation expense, non-GAAP operating income was $8 million or 11
percent of revenue. The GAAP income statement includes income from
discontinued operations of $156.3 million, which includes the
after-tax gain on the sale of the business, resulting in GAAP net
income of $155.6 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.84.
The reconciling charges are set forth in the financial measures table
included below.
The company ended the quarter with approximately $666 million in
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The company
repurchased $13 million of its common stock under its repurchase
program during the quarter.
"We executed well this quarter on several strategic objectives,
and I believe the progress we made to improve efficiencies and scale
our infrastructure appropriately demonstrates our commitment to our
target operating model," said Necip Sayiner, president and chief
executive officer of Silicon Laboratories. "As a company, we are at a
positive inflection point strategically, and we have a business with a
profile that is now in sync with the growth and profitability targets
we have established."
Mixed-Signal Business Summary
Silicon Laboratories' continuing operations are made up of the
mixed-signal business which includes a diverse set of innovative
products addressing broadcast, embedded modems, voice over broadband,
microcontrollers (MCUs), and timing. During the first quarter, the
broadcast, microcontroller, embedded modems and timing product lines
increased revenue sequentially while voice products declined.
The company announced several strategic MCU and broadcast products
in the first quarter. Silicon Laboratories' new additions to the small
form factor MCU family enable the company to address cost sensitive
applications such as white goods and toys. New broadcast products,
including a fully integrated AM/FM receiver, offer additional features
and further differentiation in the company's tuner family, improving
average selling prices and boosting the company's penetration into
portable audio applications.
Business Outlook
For the second quarter of 2007, the company anticipates revenue
from continuing operations to be in the range of $74 to $77 million.
GAAP net income per fully diluted share is expected to be in the range
of $0.10 to $0.13. Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted share,
excluding a non-cash charge for stock compensation, is expected to be
in the range of $0.22 to $0.25.
