GAAP Results of Operations

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $156.0 million, a 21.6% decrease from $198.9 million in the first quarter of 2011, and a 5.9% decrease from $165.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, Intersil modified its end market reporting to better reflect the different characteristics of those markets. Changes in Intersil's first quarter end market product mix are summarized below and the historical detail dating from 2007, allocated to the adjusted end markets, is available on page 9 of this release.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2012 was 54.6%, compared with gross margin of 57.8% in the same quarter last year, and down from the fourth quarter of 2011 at 56.7%, primarily due to a decrease in the utilization of our internal resources and product mix. During the quarter, the company reduced inventory by $7.7 million.

Operating margin was a loss of 1.4% during the first quarter. Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $3.3 million, or a loss of $0.03 per share, compared with net income of $14.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year, and net income of $24.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011. First quarter GAAP results include $1.5 million of restructuring expenses.

Non-GAAP Results of Operations

Non-GAAP operating income, net income and earnings per share exclude the effects of equity-based compensation, intangible amortization, acquisition charges, certain tax adjustments and unusual expenses.

Non-GAAP operating income during the first quarter of 2012 was $12.7 million, or 8.1% of revenue. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $8.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.

"The first quarter of 2012 marked the bottom of the cycle for Intersil and business conditions gradually improved during the quarter. Backlog continues to increase and our book-to-bill ratio remained above one throughout the first quarter," said Dave Bell, President and Chief Executive Officer.

At the end of the first quarter, Intersil's cash totaled $389.7 million. Free cash flow was $20.4 million during the first quarter. Long term debt was reduced by $25.0 million to $175.0 million in the first quarter.

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 May 25, 2012 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2012.

Second Quarter 2012 Outlook

  • Revenue is expected to be between $162 million and $170 million (+4% to +9% sequentially)
  • R&D expenses are expected to be approximately $48 million ($44 million excluding equity-based compensation)
  • SG&A expenses are expected to be approximately $35 million ($31 million excluding equity-based compensation)
  • Total equity-based compensation is expected to be approximately $9.3 million
  • Amortization of intangibles is expected to be approximately $7.2 million
  • GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share are expected to be between $(0.02) and $0.01
  • Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be between $0.08 and $0.11

"Our R&D investments during the last several years are now materializing in end products. For example, one of our Top Ten Growth Drivers is pico projectors. Micron's revolutionary Pop Video pico projector accessory, built on Intersil's integrated chipset solution, begins selling tomorrow for only $99. Investors will see more examples of our R&D investments translating into revenue dollars in the coming quarters," said Bell.

About Non-GAAP Financial Results
The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is intended to be considered together with the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliations of such measures in the tables on page eight of this release. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Intersil's performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results. During the quarter ended July 1, 2011, we revised current quarter and historical presentation of non-GAAP financial information to exclude equity-based compensation in addition to previously excluded intangible amortization, acquisition charges, certain tax adjustments and one-time costs. Management feels this change aligns our non-GAAP presentation with that of our closest peers and increases comparability of our results with published earnings estimates widely available on the Internet.
