SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) reported net revenue of $591 million for its fiscal 2012 second quarter ended December 31, 2011, a 7% decrease from the record $636 million revenue recorded in the prior quarter.

Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our customers maintained a cautious outlook during the December quarter and continued to reduce inventory, particularly in the distribution channel. We are encouraged however by an increase in bookings beginning in December. As a result, we forecast our revenue to return to normal trends in the March quarter."

Fiscal Year 2012 Second Quarter Results

Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share in the December quarter was $0.29. The results were affected by certain pre-tax expenses which primarily consisted of:


    --  $14.2 million for acquisition related items
    --  $6.0 million for restructuring and severance

GAAP earnings per share excluding special expense items was $0.34.

Cash Flow Items

At the end of our fiscal 2012 second quarter total cash, cash equivalents and short term investments was $817 million, an increase of $56 million from the prior quarter. Notable items include:


    --  Cash flow from operations: $249 million (42% of revenue)
    --  Capital expenditures: $67 million
    --  Dividends: $64 million ($0.22 per share)
    --  Stock repurchases: $72 million

Business Outlook

The Company's 90 day backlog at the beginning of the third fiscal quarter was $365 million. Based on our beginning backlog and expected turns, results for the March 2012 quarter are expected to be:


    --  Revenue: $555 million to $585 million
    --  Gross Margin: 55% to 58% GAAP (57% to 60% excluding special expense
        items)
    --  EPS: $0.22 to $0.26 GAAP ($0.25 to $0.29 excluding special expense
        items)

Maxim's Business Outlook does not include the potential impact of any restructuring activity or mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations that may be completed during the quarter.

Dividend

A cash dividend of $0.22 per share will be paid on March 7, 2012, to stockholders of record on February 22, 2012.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, Maxim uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results to exclude special expense items related to intangible asset amortization; acquisition related inventory write up to fair value; severance and restructuring; stock option related litigation; certain payroll taxes, interest and penalties; loss on the sale of land and buildings; the tax provision impacts due to implementation of international restructuring; and gain on sale of equity investment. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate Maxim's current performance. Many analysts covering Maxim use the non-GAAP measures as well. Given management's use of these non-GAAP measures, Maxim believes these measures are important to investors in understanding Maxim's current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in Maxim's core business across different time periods. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. The non-GAAP measures displayed in the table above include the following:

In addition, it is an important component of management's internal performance measurement and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents GAAP gross profit excluding special expense items to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of Maxim's core businesses.
