AUSTIN, Texas, Jul 28, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance,
analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today reported
record revenue of $134.6 million for the second quarter and delivered
record operating performance enabling better than expected earnings per
share. On a trailing twelve month basis, the company crossed $500
million in revenue while achieving record profitability and earnings
growth.
Financial Highlights
Second quarter revenue of $134.6 million was a nearly 30 percent
increase over the same period in 2009 and a six percent sequential
increase. Second quarter GAAP gross margin increased again considerably
to 67.5 percent. R&D investment for the second quarter was $30.5
million. SG&A expense was $29.7 million. GAAP operating income exceeded
20 percent for the fourth consecutive quarter, totaling 22.8 percent.
The GAAP tax rate was 31 percent and included a one-time charge related
to the acquisition of Silicon Clocks announced in April. Fully diluted
earnings per share were $0.44, more than double compared to the same
period last year.
The following non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock compensation
expense and the one-time Silicon Clocks acquisition tax expense.
Non-GAAP gross margin for the quarter was up again to 67.8 percent.
Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased as a percent of revenue to 37.1
percent. R&D investment increased to $26.1 million and SG&A expense
increased to $23.8 million. Non-GAAP operating income exceeded 30
percent of revenue, a record for the company. Non-GAAP diluted earnings
per share for the second quarter were $0.72, well above expectations.
The reconciling charges are set forth in the financial measures table
included below.
Share repurchases during the quarter totaled approximately $75 million.
The Board of Directors replaced the remaining share repurchase
authorization with an increased $150 million authorization through the
end of 2011. The company ended the quarter with $380 million in cash,
cash equivalents and investments due to continued healthy cash flow from
operations.
Business Summary
Strong performance for the quarter was led again by the company's
broad-based products. Revenue was up 85 percent compared to the same
period last year and represented the largest percentage of the company's
revenue for the first time. Within the broad-based business, the
embedded mixed-signal products had a record quarter due primarily to
record MCU revenue. MCU strength resulted from strong demand for USB
products and new customer ramps in applications like touchscreens and
portable medical devices. The timing business also had another record
quarter driven by continued demand from networking equipment makers.
The broadcast business grew by more than 20 percent compared to the
second quarter of 2009. Consumer audio revenue exceeded handset revenue
in the quarter due to strong ramps into new customer programs. The
company also achieved key revenue and customer milestones in its video
business. The company introduced a number of new products in the second
quarter, including a new video demodulator as well as new clock ICs, new
low power MCUs, new touch sense controllers, and new isolators and
isolated gate drivers. The high level of new product activity is the
outcome of the company's focus on developing a rich R&D pipeline.
"Over the last twelve months we have become a half billion dollar
revenue company, delivered above model profitability resulting in some
of the best metrics in the business and generated high quality earnings
growth," said Necip Sayiner, President and CEO of Silicon Laboratories.
"Putting this in the context of our steady diversification, market share
gains and portfolio expansion, we believe the company will continue on
its path to sustained top and bottom line growth."
The company guided revenues for the third quarter in the range of $136
to $141 million.

rapidly, difficulties developing new products that achieve market

risks that Silicon Laboratories may not be able to manage strains
associated with its growth; credit risks associated with our accounts
receivable; dependence on key personnel; risks associated with
divestitures; geographic concentration of manufacturers, assemblers,
test service providers and customers in Asia that subjects Silicon
Laboratories' business and results of operations to risks of natural
disasters, epidemics, war and political unrest; the competitive and
