CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2011--Semtech Corp. (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today reported un-audited financial results for its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 that ended January 30, 2011.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $116.3 million, up 36.8 percent from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 and down 5.6 percent from the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), was $26.0 million or 39 cents per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net income of $9.5 million or 15 cents per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 and GAAP net income of $16.1 million or 25 cents per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
GAAP gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was 60.2 percent compared to 53.9 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 and 60.0 percent in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
To facilitate the complete understanding of comparable financial performance between periods, Semtech also presents performance results net of certain non-cash and one-time items. Semtech’s non-GAAP results exclude the following items:
- Stock-based compensation expense
- Expenses related to class action litigation and ongoing stock option related matters, net of insurance recoveries
- Changes related to increased cost of goods sold for fair value inventory adjustments made as part of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Sierra Monolithics, Inc.
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets
- Transaction and other expenses related to the acquisition of Sierra Monolithics, Inc.
- Certain restructuring expenses
- Business interruption insurance recovery
Excluding the items listed above, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $31.0 million or 47 cents per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $18.9 million or 30 cents per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 and was $30.4 million or 47 cents per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was 60.5 percent. Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was 56.6 percent and 60.2 percent in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Semtech had $258.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of January 30, 2011, up from $228.7 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Mohan Maheswaran, Semtech’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was yet another record-breaking quarter for Semtech. Our gross profit margin, operating income and diluted earnings per share were the highest in our company’s history and were achieved during a seasonally down revenue quarter. Q4 also closes out a superb year for Semtech in terms of financial discipline, new product platform releases, operational excellence, and technological innovation. We look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead on our journey toward becoming a billion-dollar company.”
The results announced today are preliminary, as they are subject to the annual audit by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As such, these results are subject to revision until the Company will have filed its annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2011.
