Reports Third Quarter
Fiscal Year 2005 Results
“Net sales in the December quarter did not meet our initial expectations, as a result of a combination of lower turns from our direct customers and sell-through in the distributor channel being lower than originally anticipated,” said Steve Sanghi, Microchip’s President and CEO. “All product segments and each geographic region were sequentially down, indicating a broad-based impact on our business, as we communicated in our business update on December 1, 2004.”
“Although we are disappointed that overall industry conditions have resulted in sequentially down revenues for Microchip, we are nonetheless encouraged by the continuing resilience of our business model. Despite the conditions we experienced in the December quarter, our gross and operating margins remain among the best in the industry. We have always managed our business through industry cycles based on a longer-term focus on overall results, returning higher highs and higher lows in operating performance. We certainly believe that to be the case in the current business environment,” Mr. Sanghi continued.
Mr. Gordon Parnell, Microchip’s Chief Financial Officer said, “Although we slightly moderated capacity utilization in our wafer fabs, inventories grew by $7.8 million to $97.8 million in the December quarter, approximating 101 days of inventory. The majority of the products in our portfolio have longer effective lives in comparison to many semiconductor companies, allowing Microchip the ability to effectively manage inventory levels as we navigate through changing industry conditions. As we have demonstrated in the past cycles, this is the most appropriate method to manage our business, improving shareholder value as we monetize the value of our inventory over time.”
“Our free cash flow generation continues to be very strong, as we increased our treasury balance by approximately $90 million in the December quarter. After consideration of the continuing strength of our cash flow, the Board of Directors has decided to increase the dividend yield by 35% sequentially to 7 cents per share. This decision confirms the intent we have shared with investors to continue to increase the dividend yield as a means of returning value to our shareholders,” Mr. Parnell added.
Mr. Sanghi concluded, “The March quarter has historically been seasonally challenged for Microchip as a result of the effects of the Lunar New Year in Asia, and the effect is further magnified as our business in that region has continued to outgrow the other geographies. Although the book-to-bill ratio in December for our direct business returned to approximately parity, our overall book to bill was 0.88, resulting in lower backlog visibility for the current period. The Americas and Europe will have more ship days in the

current quarter compared to the December quarter, which was impacted by the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays, but Asia will have fewer ship days due to the Lunar New Year holidays. Based on our assessment of the overall environment and our business outlook, we believe our March net sales will be approximately flat with December, with earnings per share of about 25 cents.”
Microchip’s Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2005 Highlights:
• Microchip announced the first Flash PIC® microcontrollers with full-speed USB 2.0 connectivity and 48 MHz operation for 12 megabits-per-second data-transfer rates. In combination with a wide variety of on-chip peripherals and nanoWatt Technology power management, these features provide a complete embedded-control solution for designers working with USB in industrial, medical and many other embedded applications.
• The Company introduced four new 8-bit Controller Area Network (CAN) Flash PIC microcontrollers; including the world’s smallest CAN microcontroller in a 28-pin, 6x6 mm QFN package for minimal occupied board space and a lower total system cost. These devices combine a small form factor with the innovative ECANä module and nanoWatt Technology power management to complete the seamless migration path of Microchip’s PIC18F CAN microcontroller portfolio from 16 to 64 Kbytes of Flash program memory and 28- to 80-pin package options for automotive and industrial designers.
• Microchip launched the PIC16F59, the first baseline 8-bit PIC microcontroller to be offered in 40- and 44-pin packages. The PIC16F59 targets cost-sensitive applications that require additional input and output pins, such as the appliance market.
• Microchip debuted the PICDEMä Z 2.4 GHz Demonstration Kit that supports the ZigBeeä standard protocol for wirelessly networked control and monitoring applications. Microchip’s PICDEM Z platform accelerates customer designs by providing hardware and a free ZigBee protocol software stack that can be easily integrated into wireless products.
• During the quarter, Microchip shipped 11,380 new development systems, demonstrating the continued strong acceptance of our products. The total cumulative number of development systems shipped now stands at 345,282.

• The Company announced the industry’s most accurate digital-temperature sensors in space-saving SOT-23 packages. With a +/-1 degree Celsius maximum temperature error, the MCP980X devices retrieve temperature data, digitally convert it and communicate the information to the microcontroller or central processing unit. This gives designers the ability to better protect their applications and to respond to thermal changes faster as the device accurately measures temperature, protects and/or calibrates the system and provides thermal information using minimal board space.
• A low-power voltage detection circuit debuted to protect microcontrollers while extending battery life. Consuming only 1 microamp and operating at 1V (minimum), the MCP102/103/121/131 system supervisors use less power thereby extending the life of the battery. This low-power consumption, coupled with the small packaging, make these devices ideal for portable or space-constrained applications.
• Microchip introduced a low-cost 8-gain-step SPIä bus programmable gain amplifier family, the MCP6S9X, which provides digital control over the amplifier function and design. The ability to configure the system gain and signal path during operation allows maximum flexibility for system self-calibration and other system operation adjustments in a user transparent manner while the end application is in use.
• Microchip expanded its battery management IC portfolio with the introduction of the MCP73853 and MCP73855 single-cell charge management controllers featuring 0.5 percent overall system accuracy for the fast-growing Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer battery technologies used in consumer applications. These fully integrated solutions simplify the design and increase system reliability, while eliminating the need for a pass transistor, reverse-blocking diode, sensor resistor and thermal design, resulting in significantly lower system cost.
• The Company introduced the first digital signal controller in a 6x6 mm 28-pin QFN package. With 30 million instructions per second (MIPS) of performance, the ultra-small dsPIC30F2010MMG gives engineers a powerful thermally efficient design option for space-constrained applications.
• Microchip began volume production of two 16-bit dsPIC® digital signal controllers that offer designers performance speeds of 20 and 30 MIPS, self-programming capabilities via Flash memory and industrial and extended temperature ranges. With 48 Kbytes of Flash program memory and CAN
—more—
capability, the dsPIC30F4011 and dsPIC30F4012 devices are ideal for power conversion applications and for motor control applications that require higher precision, higher-speed operation or sensorless control.
• To support its 16-bit dsPIC digital signal controllers, Microchip made available the V.22bis/V.22 Software Modem Library (2400 bps) and the V.32bis/V.32 Software Modem Library (14.4 Kbps). These sophisticated Modem Libraries are ideally suited for the growing number of high-performance embedded designs that need to communicate short messages and transactions through telephone lines. The Libraries are available at no cost to users, reducing size and component count while enabling faster time to market.
• Microchip awarded 20 prizes as part of its dsPIC Digital Signal Controller Design Contest. Thousands of engineers worldwide purchased Microchip’s power-packed dsPIC30F Design Contest Kit, which participants used to submit entries showing off their design skills with the dsPIC digital signal controller and its high-performance development tools. Contestants created a product design, related block and flow diagrams, a schematic of the circuitry and project source code, all based on a dsPIC30F digital signal controller.
• Microchip announced the conversion of its product packaging to environmentally friendly lead (Pb)-free plating, beginning January 2005, in compliance with pending worldwide government regulations and industry standards. Matte tin (Sn) is being used as the new plating material, ensuring that Microchip Pb-free products are backward compatible with industry-standard, tin/lead-based soldering processes, and forward compatible with higher-temperature Pb-free processes that are used with Pb-free pastes such as tin/silver/copper (SnAgCu).
• During the quarter, many leading trade publications announced their top picks of new product innovations during the year. Microchip’s revolutionary PIC10F Flash microcontroller family—the only 6-pin microcontroller in the world—won the Integrated Circuits category in ECN Magazine’s 2004 “First Annual Product Technology Awards” and was selected by Electronic Products Magazine as a winner in its “29th Annual Products of the Year” awards. Product Design & Development Magazine picked the MCP1630 Pulse-Width Modulator as a finalist in their Annual Engineering Awards for 2004.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2005 Outlook:
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
• Net sales for the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2005 are currently anticipated to be approximately $205 million (approximately flat with the December 2004 quarter).
• Gross margins for the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2005 are expected to be between 56.50% and 57.00%. Generally, gross margins fluctuate over time, driven primarily by the mix of microcontrollers, analog products and memory products sold; variances in manufacturing yields; fixed cost absorption; wafer fab loading levels; pricing pressures in our non-proprietary product lines; and competitive and economic conditions.
• Operating expenses for the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2005 are expected to be approximately 25% to 26%. Operating expenses fluctuate over time, primarily due to revenue, foreign currency effects on our business, and profit levels.
• The tax rate for the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2005 is anticipated to be approximately 24%.
• Earnings per diluted share for the fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2005 are anticipated to be approximately 25 cents.
• Inventories at March 31, 2005 are anticipated to be approximately 108 to 112 days. The level of inventories fluctuates over time, primarily due to sales volume and overall capacity utilization.
• Capital expenditures for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 are expected to be approximately $10 million, and capital expenditures for fiscal year 2005 are expected to total approximately $65 million. The level of capital expenditures varies from time to time as a result of actual and anticipated business conditions.
—more—
• Based on cash projected to be generated from operations and current projected capital expenditure levels, we expect to add approximately $60 million to our existing cash balances during the quarter ending March 31, 2005. This amount is before the effect of any stock buy-back activity.
• Microchip announced on March 11, 2004 that its Board of Directors had authorized a stock buy-back of up to 2.5 million shares, and on April 22, 2004 that its Board of Directors had authorized an additional stock buy-back of up to 2.5 million shares. At December 31, 2004, approximately 1.7 million shares remained available for purchase under these programs. Future purchases will depend upon market conditions, interest rates and corporate considerations.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
We provide non-GAAP financial information in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and to enhance our investors’ overall understanding of our core financial performance. We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes” of management in addition to the GAAP presentation. Management measures enterprise performance using non-GAAP financial measures such as those that are disclosed in this press release. This information facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical core operating results and comparisons to competitors’ core operating results as determined by management. Management believes that non-GAAP information allows for additional transparency and such information is used by management in its financial and operational decision making. We present non-GAAP information for the following line items: cost of sales, special charges, operating income, income before income taxes, income taxes and net income. The non-GAAP adjustments for each of these non-GAAP measures that management determines as being informative to investors allows them to focus on the ongoing operations and the core results of our business. Historically, we have reported similar non-GAAP information to our investors and believe that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting. This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, information prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It excludes items, such as restructurings and special charges that may have a material effect on the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. We exclude these charges and the related tax benefit from the charges when analyzing our financial results as the items are distinguishable events and have no impact to our ongoing results of operations. We believe that by viewing our results of operations excluding these charges, investors are given an indication of the ongoing results of our operations.
