MAXIM REPORTS REVENUES AND EARNINGS ABOVE
GUIDANCE ESTIMATES FOR THE SECOND QUARTER
OF FISCAL 2004 AND DECLARES QUARTERLY
DIVIDEND
SUNNYVALE, CA–February 5, 2004–Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., (MXIM) reported net revenues of $338.1 million for its fiscal second quarter ending December 27, 2003, an 18.2% increase over the $286.1 million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 and a 9.0% increase over the $310.2 million reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Net income for the quarter was $98.5 million, a 27.8% increase over the $77.1 million reported last year and a 12.8% increase over the $87.4 million reported for the first quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $0.28 for the second quarter, a 21.7% increase over the $0.23 reported for the same period a year ago and a 12.0% increase over the $0.25 reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
During the quarter, cash and short-term investments increased $34.9 million after the Company repurchased 2.0 million shares of its common stock for $100.6 million, paid dividends of $26.4 million, and acquired $70.0 million in facilities and capital equipment, $40.5 million of which was a wafer manufacturing facility on 168 acres in San Antonio, Texas. Accounts receivable increased
$2.5 million in the second quarter to $133.4 million due to the increase in net revenues. Inventories decreased $7.2 million to $108.3 million.
Gross margin for the second quarter was 69.5%, a decrease from the 70.0% reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, largely due to start-up costs at the Company’s newly acquired wafer fabrication facility in San Antonio, Texas. Research and development expense was $71.2 million in the second quarter, compared to $70.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in research and development expense in the second quarter was the result of hiring additional engineers and increased expenses to support the Company’s new product and process development efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $21.4 million in the first quarter to $22.2 million in the second quarter but decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 6.9% to 6.6%.
Second quarter net bookings were approximately $417 million, a 19% increase over the previous quarter’s level of $349 million. Turns orders received in the quarter were approximately $192 million, a 7% increase over the $180 million received in the prior quarter (turns orders are customer orders that are for delivery within the same quarter and may result in revenue within the same quarter if the Company has available inventory that matches those orders). Bookings increased by more than 10% in all geographic regions, and 11 of the Company’s 14 business units saw a significant increase in bookings over the first quarter’s levels.
Second quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $327 million, including approximately $293 million requested for shipment in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company’s first quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $252 million, including approximately $233 million that was requested for shipment in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
Jack Gifford, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the quarter: “Second quarter bookings exceeded our expectations, with Maxim
and Dallas Semiconductor bookings each up approximately 19% over the Q1 level. Bookings growth was particularly strong for our ICs that have industrial applications and for our traditional analog/mixed-signal products serving broad markets. It was also encouraging to see bookings from ATE customers pick up after so many quarters of sluggish performance. We believe that the ATE market will continue to improve during calendar 2004, as semiconductor companies increase their manufacturing capacity and add equipment.”
Mr. Gifford continued: “In the next 6 months, there could be a shortage of foundry capacity for high-performance chip production. With our installed in-house capacity plus our newly acquired capacity in San Antonio, Texas, Maxim has the capacity to meet our customers’ revised and increased production requirements in most areas. Based on our current estimates for demand over the next two quarters, we have accelerated our schedule for production in San Antonio to the first quarter of fiscal 2005, approximately 9 months earlier than originally planned. Our timing of the acquisition could not have been more fortunate.”
Mr. Gifford concluded: “The Company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share. Payment will be made on March 1, 2004 to stockholders of record on February 16, 2004.”
****
Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risk and uncertainty. They include the Company’s belief that the ATE market will continue to improve during calendar 2004, the Company’s forecast that there could be a shortage of foundry capacity for high-performance chip production in the next 6 months, the Company’s estimates for demand over the next two quarters, and the Company’s plan to begin production at its newly acquired fabrication facility in San Antonio, Texas, by the first quarter of
fiscal 2005. Actual results could differ materially from those forecasted based upon, among other things, the Company’s incorrectly assessing the ATE market and foundry capacity for high-performance chip production, unexpected delays in preparation of its San Antonio facility, general market conditions and market developments that could adversely affect the growth of the mixed-signal analog market, such as declines in customer forecasts or greater than expected cyclical downturns within the mixed-signal analog segment of the semiconductor market, as well as other risks described in the Company’s Form 10K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2003.
All forward-looking statements included in this news release are made as of the date hereof, based on the information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
Maxim Integrated Products is a leading international supplier of quality analog and mixed-signal products for applications that require real world signal processing.
