Silicon Laboratories Reports First Quarter Results

April 27, 2011

Strong Growth from Broadcast and Broad-based Products

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today reported a seven percent sequential increase in first quarter revenue to $119.6 million due to strength in its broadcast and broad-based product lines.

Financial Highlights

Revenue returned to growth in the first quarter, countering typical seasonal weakness in consumer markets with strong new product cycles.

During the quarter, the company completed the acquisition of SpectraLinear, a timing IC provider, and GAAP results include approximately $11.7 million in charges related to the acquisition, as well as typical non-cash stock compensation charges. GAAP gross margin was impacted by product mix as well as $1.1 million in acquisition charges, resulting in 60.3 percent gross margin for the first quarter. Operating expenses included $5.1 million in acquisition-related charges and ended the quarter at $35.4 million in R&D investment and $31.9 million in SG&A expense. This resulted in a fully diluted GAAP loss of four cents per share.

The following non-GAAP results exclude the impact of acquisition-related charges and stock compensation expense. Non-GAAP gross margin was 61.6 percent for the quarter, down sequentially as anticipated due to product mix. Operating expenses increased only modestly, with R&D at $29.7 million and SG&A about flat at $23.2 million. Fully diluted non-GAAP earnings per share were better than expected at $0.40. The reconciling charges are set forth in the financial measures table included below.

Business Highlights

The company's better than seasonal performance was driven by an aggressive ramp of its innovative silicon TV tuner into iDTVs by five top TV makers during the quarter. The company's timing products also achieved record revenue again which, when combined with strong growth in MCU products, enabled high single-digit sequential growth in the broad-based product category. Record design wins and expanding portfolios in both timing and MCUs created market share momentum at both existing and new customers.

"The improving complexion of our revenue base, and the momentum we currently have with our bookings and design wins have so far outweighed the industry-wide concerns that have developed following the tragedy in Japan," said Necip Sayiner, president and CEO of Silicon Laboratories. "We continue to have confidence in the annual growth targets we set in January and view the Q1 results as strong progress towards those goals."

The company guided revenue for the second quarter in the range of $124 to $130 million.
