Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a world leader in the design
and manufacture of high performance analog and mixed signal
semiconductors, today reported financial results for its third
quarter ended October 2, 2009.
Results of Operations
Net revenues for the third quarter were $168.3 million, a 23%
decrease from $218.7 million in the third quarter of 2008 and a 14%
increase from $147.3 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Intersil's third quarter revenues by end market were as follows:
high-end consumer, 28% of revenues; computing, 34% of revenues;
industrial, 19% of revenues; and communications, 19% of revenues.
Gross margin was 54.5%, compared with gross margin of 56.3% in the
same quarter last year, and 54.2% in the second quarter of 2009.
Operating margin from continuing operations was 10.4%, compared with
22.9% in the same quarter last year, and 6.2% in the second quarter of
2009. Income from continuing operations was $12.3 million or $0.10 per
diluted share, compared with $47.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share
in the same quarter last year, and $6.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted
share, in the second quarter of 2009.
Net income was $12.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared
with $47.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in the same quarter
last year, and $6.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the
second quarter of 2009. Third quarter net income includes a $14.3
million unrealized loss on Intersil's long term auction rate
securities and approximately $9.7 million in related tax benefits.
"The third quarter demonstrated the ongoing broad-based recovery
within our computing, consumer and now industrial end markets," said
Dave Bell, Intersil's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The
third quarter exhibited normal seasonality, and we believe that the
communications end market is now poised for recovery as well."
"During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Quellan, which
exemplifies our strategy to expand our presence in high-margin
communications infrastructure markets," continued Bell. "Quellan's
signal integrity products improve the reach and power efficiency of
high-speed interconnections within data centers."
At the end of the third quarter, Intersil's cash and short-term
investments totaled over $329 million with no debt. Free cash flow
was $32.6 million during the third quarter.
Intersil's Board of Directors has authorized the payment of a
quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. The payment of
this dividend will be made on November 20, 2009 to shareholders of
record as of the close of business on November 10, 2009.
Fourth Quarter 2009 Outlook
-- Revenues are expected to be in the range of $170 million to $177 million
-- Research and development expenses are expected to decrease slightly to
approximately $38 million
-- Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be roughly
flat at approximately $33 million
-- Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $7.8
million
-- GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.14
to $0.17
"The steady improvement of business conditions in the third quarter
gives us confidence in the sustainability of this recovery. Our
book-to-bill was above one, and we saw increasing backlog exiting the
quarter," said Mr. Bell. "We believe our gross margin will again
increase moderately as sales into the industrial and communications
end markets grow in the fourth quarter."
Intersil will discuss its third quarter financial results during its
scheduled conference call following the market close on October 21st.
