SILICON LABORATORIES RAISES GUIDANCE FOR SECOND QUARTER
Company Increases Revenue and Earnings Forecast
AUSTIN, Texas June 17, 2009 Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today announced it now expects second quarter revenue to be up about 20 to 25 percent sequentially to $101 to $105 million, an increase from the $92 to $97 million range previously forecasted.
In addition to ramps with new products, the company is also experiencing a stronger rebound in its Access and Audio Broadcast businesses versus prior expectations. The company noted that visibility has improved considerably and bookings and shipping linearity are more consistent with healthy historical norms. The company continues to believe customer demand is tracking to end user consumption and that revenue growth is specific to market share gains and traction with the companys products.
Based on increased revenue expectations, GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter are expected to increase to $0.13 to $0.16 compared to previous guidance of $0.07 to $0.11, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to increase to $0.34 to $0.37 compared to previous guidance of $0.28 to $0.32. Non-GAAP earnings per share exclude anticipated non-cash charges for stock compensation expenses.
We are pleased with the strength of the business and believe the market share momentum we have striven to maintain is resulting in a stronger revenue profile than we initially anticipated, said Necip Sayiner, president and CEO of Silicon Laboratories. With more new product cycles than at any time in our history, we are increasingly confident that it will only be a matter of quarters rather than years to reach and then exceed our third quarter 2008 revenue peak.
The company does not intend to provide any additional updates for the second quarter until July 29th when it plans to report complete second quarter financial results and third quarter guidance.
