Maxim Reports Record Revenue for the First Quarter of

Revenue: $636 million
Gross Margin: 62.2% GAAP (63.7% excluding special expense items)
EPS: $0.44 GAAP ($0.46 excluding special items)
Cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments: $760 million
Fiscal second quarter revenue outlook: $580 million to $620 million

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (Nasdaq:MXIM) reported record net revenue of $636 million for its fiscal 2012 first quarter ended September 24, 2011, a 1.5% increase from the $626.5 million revenue recorded in the prior quarter.

Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our customers are maintaining a cautious business outlook. End customers as well as the distribution channel are reducing inventory and order lead times. This is limiting our visibility into end demand, especially in our industrial and communications markets. However, Maxim's balanced business model of targeting profitable growth opportunities in all major markets has proved resilient. In the September quarter strong growth in our consumer business more than offset weakness in the industrial and communications markets."

Fiscal Year 2012 First Quarter Results

Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share in the September quarter was $0.44. The results were affected by certain pre-tax and tax related special items which primarily consisted of:

$13.8 million pre-tax expense for acquisition related items
$7.2 million benefit due to international restructuring and a one-time item

GAAP earnings per share excluding special expense items was $0.46.

Cash Flow Items

At the end of our fiscal 2012 first quarter total cash, cash equivalents and short term investments was $760 million, a decrease of $253 million from the prior quarter. Notable items include:

Cash flow from operations: $120.8 million
Capital expenditures: $49.3 million
Acquisitions: $154.3 million
Dividends: $64.8 million ($0.22 per share)
Stock repurchases: $88.7 million

Business Outlook

Our second fiscal quarter is a 14 week quarter. The Company's current quarter backlog at the beginning of the second fiscal quarter was $403 million. Based on our beginning backlog and expected turns, results for the December 2011 quarter, excluding restructuring charges, are expected to be:

Revenue: $580 million to $620 million
Gross Margin: 58% to 61% GAAP (60% to 63% excluding special expense items)
EPS: $0.26 to $0.30 GAAP ($0.30 to $0.34 excluding special expense items)

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, Maxim uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results to exclude special expense items related to intangible asset amortization; acquisition related inventory write up to fair value; severance and restructuring; gain on sales of assets held for sale; stock option related litigation; certain payroll taxes, interest and penalties; reversal of tax reserves related to audit completion and expiration of statute of limitations; and the tax provision impacts due to implementation of international restructuring. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate Maxim's current performance. Many analysts covering Maxim use the non-GAAP measures as well. Given management's use of these non-GAAP measures, Maxim believes these measures are important to investors in understanding Maxim's current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in Maxim's core business across different time periods. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. The non-GAAP measures displayed in the table above include the following:

GAAP gross profit excluding special expense items

The use of GAAP gross profit excluding special expense items allows management to evaluate the gross margin of the company's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special expense items including intangible asset amortization and acquisition related inventory write up to fair value. In addition, it is an important component of management's internal performance measurement and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents GAAP gross profit excluding special expense items to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of Maxim's core businesses.

GAAP operating expenses excluding special expense items

The use of GAAP operating expenses excluding special expense items allows management to evaluate the operating expenses of the company's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special expense items including intangible asset amortization; severance and restructuring; gain on sales of assets held for sale; stock option related litigation; and certain payroll taxes, interest and penalties. In addition, it is an important component of management's internal performance measurement and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents GAAP operating expenses excluding special expense items to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our core business and its direct operating expenses.

GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share excluding special items

The use of GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share excluding special items allow management to evaluate the operating results of Maxim's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special items including intangible asset amortization; acquisition related inventory write up to fair value; gain of sales of assets held for sale, severance and restructuring; stock option related litigation; and certain payroll taxes, interest and penalties; reversal of tax reserves related to audit completion and expiration of the statute of limitations; and the tax provision impacts due to implementation of international restructuring. In addition, they are important components of management's internal performance measurement and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share excluding special items to enable investors and analysts to understand the results of operations of Maxim's core businesses and to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in our industry.
