Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 58.8%, compared with gross margin of 55.2% in the same quarter last year, and 58.9% in the third quarter of 2010. Year over year, gross margin increased 340 basis points from 54.8% to close the year at 58.2%, exceeding Intersil’s target financial model.
Operating margin was 11.8% during the fourth quarter. Net income increased to $26.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with net income of $17.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year, and decreased sequentially from net income of $32.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding the effects of intangible amortization and one-time acquisition costs, fourth quarter 2010 operating income was $30.2 million, or 15.6% of revenue.

“Our fourth quarter results reflect the ongoing inventory correction that we saw in most of our end markets,” said Dave Bell, Intersil’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “However, distributor inventories are now at normal levels and bookings strengthened during the quarter. We have also made continued progress transforming our business by increasing our new products and sales into the industrial and communications end markets.”
At the end of the fourth quarter, Intersil’s cash and short-term investments totaled $383 million, and free cash flow was $27 million for the fourth quarter. Fiscal 2010 free cash flow was $122 million.
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 February 25, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 15, 2011.
First Quarter 2011 Outlook
| • | Revenues are expected to be in the range of $192 million to $202 million (-1% to +4% sequentially) |
| • | Research and development expenses are expected to be approximately $49 million |
| • | Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be approximately $37 million |
| • | Amortization of intangibles is expected to be approximately $7 million |
| • | GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.09 to $0.12 |
| • | Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (excluding amortization of intangibles) are expected to be in the range of $0.13 to $0.16 |
“Although we expect most of our end markets to remain in a slow recovery during the first quarter of 2011, we expect the computing end market to recover sharply from prior levels. Our book-to-bill ratio so far this quarter has been well above one, and we’re excited about a growing number of design wins resulting from new product introductions. The recovery in computing and an increase in many new design wins should contribute to growth during 2011,” said Bell.
