Silicon Laboratories Reports Second Quarter Results

July 25, 2011

Strong Growth from 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 5.5 percent sequential increase in second quarter revenue to $126.2 million due to a record quarter in its Broad-based product lines.

Financial Highlights

During the quarter, the company demonstrated sequential improvement across key financial metrics. On a GAAP basis, which includes approximately $8.6 million in non-cash stock compensation charges, gross margin was up slightly at 60.4 percent for the second quarter. R&D investment was down in the second quarter to $34.2 million, and SG&A decreased significantly to $26.1 million. This resulted in fully diluted GAAP earnings per share of 29 cents.

The following non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock compensation expense and certain other one-time items. Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 62.1 percent for the quarter, within the company's target range. Operating expenses declined to 42 percent of revenue. Specifically, R&D expense was $30.5 million and SG&A declined to $22.5 million. Operating income improved to 20.1 percent of revenue. Net income increased to $21.9 million in the second quarter, or 17.3 percent of revenue. Resulting second quarter diluted earnings per share were 48 cents. The reconciling charges are set forth in the financial measures table included below.

Business Highlights

The company's performance was driven by growth in all three of its main product lines, Broad-based, Access and Broadcast. The record quarter in Broad-based products was driven primarily by MCUs, with particular strength due to ramps of new products and customer programs. Video and timing products also delivered record revenue in the quarter. New mid-year model wins in video support the anticipated increase in the adoption rate of silicon tuner technology across TV makers, models and geographies.

CPE modems and FM tuners in handsets combined declined to 12 percent of company revenue. These maturing products have become a less significant share of total revenue, contributing to the long-term improvement in the complexion of the business.

"We've executed well in the first half of the year, achieving record revenue in many of our product lines while successfully navigating through the transition in our access and audio products. But, while the business is ready to sprint ahead on the legs of very strong products and share gains, we're facing weakening end-user demand in several of our markets," said Necip Sayiner, president and CEO of Silicon Laboratories. "While we find this frustrating, we remain focused on operational discipline to preserve profitability and continued R&D pipeline development so when the economy improves, we'll be ready to break out to higher revenue and earnings levels."

The company expects revenue for the third quarter to decline by 5 to 10 percent sequentially.
