INTERSIL CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note A—Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Intersil Corporation have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented, have been made. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

 

The results of operations for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During 2004, the Company reviewed the classification of its investment in certain auction rate securities and concluded they should be classified as short-term investments as compared to their prior classification as cash equivalents. As of April 2, 2004, similar securities totaling $530.8 million have been reclassified from cash equivalents to short-term investments and the related effect has now been reflected in the quarter ended April 2, 2004 consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result, cash flows from investing activities increased by $10.5 million for quarter ended April 2, 2004 from that previously reported.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized upon shipment to all customers, except North American distributors. Sales to international distributors are made under agreements, which provide price protection and rights to periodically exchange a percentage of their unsold inventory. Accordingly, these sales are reduced by the estimated future price protection allowances and returns. The Company generally recognizes sales to North American distributors upon shipment to the end customer. However, certain products nearing or at the end of their lifecycle are sold on non-cancelable and non-returnable terms (“NCNR”) to North American distributors, in which case, revenue is recognized at the point of shipment. When placing orders for products with the Company, its customers typically provide the Company with a customer request date (“CRD”), which indicates their preferred date for receipt of the ordered products. Based on estimated transit time and other logistics, the Company may deliver products to the carrier in advance of the CRD, and recognize revenue from the sale of such products at the time of shipment. It is the Company’s intent that deliveries be made not more than ten days in advance of CRD.

 

Seasonality

 

The Company’s high-end consumer and computing markets generally experience weak demand in the first and second fiscal quarters of each year and stronger demand in the third and fourth quarters.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its 1999 Equity Compensation Plan (“Plan”) in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Compensation expense is recorded on the date of the stock option grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, the Company would have reported the following:

Table of Contents

Application of SFAS 123 would result in a decrease in diluted income per share of $0.06 and $0.09 for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 and the quarter ended April 2, 2004, respectively.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of each option as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2004 and prior years. The Company started using the Lattice model since the last quarter of fiscal year 2004. The Company believes that the Lattice model is a more accurate model for valuing employee stock options as it uses historical exercise patterns to predict the expected life of options and better predicts future volatility of the underlying stock price. For the quarter ended April 1, 2005 the Company estimated the fair value of each option as of the date of grant using the Lattice model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

    

Quarter Ended

April 1, 2005


 

Expected volatility

   0.39  

Dividend yield

   1.02 %

Risk-free interest rate

   3.86 %

Expected life, in years

   4.18  

 

For the quarter ended April 2, 2004 the Company estimated the fair value of each option as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

    

Quarter Ended

April 2, 2004


Expected volatility

   .695

Dividend yield

   0.5%

Risk-free interest rate

   3.23% - 3.81%

Expected life, in years

Note B—Inventories

 

Inventories are summarized below (in thousands):

 

     April 1, 2005

   December 31, 2004

Finished products

   $ 23,573    $ 25,966

Work in progress

     67,147      67,182

Raw materials and supplies

     3,192      3,302
    

  

Total inventories, net

   $ 93,912    $ 96,450
    

  

 

At April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Intersil was committed to purchase $15.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of inventory from suppliers. Management believes the cost of its inventory approximates current market value.

Note D—Investments

 

Short-term Investments

 

Available for Sale Investments—Investments designated as available-for-sale include marketable debt and equity securities. Investments that are designated as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in stockholders’ equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses on the sale of debt securities are recorded in interest and other, net. Realized gains or losses on the sale or exchange of equity securities and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are recorded in gains (losses) on equity securities, net. Marketable equity securities are presumed to be impaired if the fair value is less than the cost basis continuously for two consecutive quarters, absent evidence to the contrary.

 

During the quarter ended April 2, 2004, Intersil sold all of its holdings of ChipPAC, Inc (“ChipPAC”) for a realized gain of $3.8 million. Proceeds from the sale were $8.7 million. As of April 1, 2005, available-for-sale debt investments consist exclusively of auction rate securities with a final maturity of greater than three months. The Company invests in auction rate securities as an alternative to cash and frequently sell positions to fund our working capital. These investments are reflected in “Short-term Investments” line item in the current section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Held-to-Maturity Investments— Investments designated as held-to-maturity include marketable debt with maturities of greater than three months. Examples of such debt securities include commercial paper, corporate bonds, corporate notes and federal, state, county and municipal government bonds. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, these securities are classified as held-to-maturity securities as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Securities in the “held-to-maturity” classification are carried at amortized cost. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses are not reported in the financial statements until realized or until a decline is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Held-to-maturity investments with maturities one year or less are contained in the balance sheet line item “Short-term Investments” within the current section, and those beyond one year are contained in the balance sheet line item “Long-term Investments” within the non-current section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Trading Investments— Trading investments are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. The Company elects to classify as “trading” assets a portion of its marketable equity securities, which are contained in the “Long-term Investments” line item in the non-current section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments consist exclusively of a marketable equity portfolio held to generate returns that seek to offset changes in liabilities related to certain deferred compensation arrangements. The Company’s portfolios of trading investments included the following securities as of the dates set forth below ($ in millions):

Cost Method Investments—All investments that are not accounted for as “held-to-maturity,” “available-for-sale” or “trading” are accounted for under the cost method. Under the cost method, investments are held at historical cost, less impairments, as there are no readily determinable market values. Furthermore, the Company holds less than 20% ownership of the cost method investments, cannot exercise significant influence over the investee and is not the primary beneficiary. These investments are reviewed at least quarterly for impairment indicators such as insolvency or competitive problems. Impairments are determined using several analytical techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and management’s qualitative evaluations. Cost method investments are contained in the “long-term investments” line item in the non-current section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2004 and April 1, 2005 the Company held approximately $4.1 million in cost method investments. The Company reviews its cost method investments at least quarterly for impairment indicators. The review as of quarter ended April 1, 2005 did not result in adjustments to the carrying value of the investments.

Indefinite lived intangible assets identified as assembled workforce have been included within goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS 141”), “Business Combinations.” Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, which range from 4 to 11 years. Amortization of definite lived intangible assets is shown separately on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The following table summarizes changes in Intersil’s goodwill balance since December 31, 2004 ($ in thousands):

The adjustment to the Xicor and Elantec related goodwill primarily resulted from the tax benefit received due to the exercise of vested stock options issued as part of the acquisition. The change in goodwill for Bitblitz is related to additional transaction related expenses incurred during the quarter ended April 1, 2005.

Deferred Stock Units

 

During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, the Company issued 89,000 deferred stock units to 8 executives and 6 Board members. The issuance of the deferred stock units is in conjunction with a decrease in the issuance of stock options. The deferred stock units entitle the executives to receive one share of Intersil Class A common stock for each deferred stock unit issued, provided the executives are employed at Intersil on the third anniversary of the grant date. The deferred stock units receive dividends prior to the stock issuance. The weighted average fair value of the deferred stock units issued during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 was $17.08.

 

According to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation”, the issuance of these deferred stock units requires compensation expense to be measured and recognized evenly over the three-year

vesting period. Accordingly, the Company recorded $1.5 million in unearned compensation within the shareholders’ equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 relating to these newly issued deferred stock units. The unearned compensation was calculated using the closing share price on the day of issuance. Unearned compensation is recorded within the shareholders’ equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Note G—Restructuring

 

March 2005

 

In March 2005, the Company announced a restructuring plan to further streamline its operations and reduce costs. The restructuring plan included the termination of employment of approximately 100 employees. The terms of the relevant severance benefits were outlined in the pre-existing employee benefit policies of the Company. As the severance obligation is probable and reasonably estimable and is a vested right attributable to the employees’ service already rendered, the Company recorded restructuring charges within continuing operations of $2.8 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 for the severance benefits it was obligated to pay in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 (“SFAS 112”), “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.” In connection with the restructuring, the employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. The affected positions included manufacturing, research and development, and selling, general and administrative employees. As of April 1, 2005, 85% of the affected positions had been terminated.

In July 2004, the Company announced a restructuring plan to streamline its manufacturing and support functions. The restructuring plan included the termination of employment of approximately 12% of the workforce. The terms of the relevant severance benefits were outlined in the pre-existing employee benefit policies of the Company. As the severance obligation is probable and reasonably estimable and is a vested right attributable to the employees’ service already rendered, the Company recorded restructuring charges within continuing operations of $6.1 million during the quarter ended October 1, 2004 for the severance benefits it was obligated to pay in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 (“SFAS 112”), “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.” In connection with the restructuring, approximately 200 employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. The affected positions included manufacturing, research and development, and selling, general and administrative employees. All of the employees were located in the United States. As of April 1, 2005, 99% of the affected positions had been terminated.

Note H—Xicor Acquisition

 

On July 29, 2004, following receipt of approval of the shareholders of Intersil and Xicor, Intersil acquired Xicor by using Intersil Class A common stock, options to purchase common stock, warrants to purchase common stock and cash to purchase 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Milpitas, California-based company. Intersil issued approximately 10.1 million shares of its Class A common stock and paid approximately $231.7 million in cash (net of cash acquired) for all issued and outstanding shares of Xicor. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of Xicor have been included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the acquisition date.

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of Company operations are presented as if the Xicor acquisition occurred on the first day of each period presented below, ($ in millions, except per share data):

The pro forma results of operations include adjustments to give effect to additional amortization related to the increased value of acquired identified intangibles and the unearned stock-based compensation recorded in conjunction with the acquisition. Included in the pro forma results above are certain infrequent events. These events include, the impairment of long-lived assets of $27.0 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2004 and an impairment reversal of $0.6 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2005. Included in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 are restructuring costs of $2.8 million. Included in the quarter ended April 2, 2004 is $0.9 million of other loss that resulted from merger related expenses. Included in the quarter ended April 1, 2005 is other income of $2.0 million explained in Note K. Included in the quarter ended April 2, 2004 is a gain from the sale of Intersil’s holdings in ChipPAC for a net realized gain of $3.8 million. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the acquisition actually been made at the beginning of the period presented or the future results of the combined operations.

 

Note I—Discontinued Operations

 

The Company sold its Wireless Networking product group on August 28, 2003 to GlobespanVirata, Inc. This product group produced a portfolio of semiconductor solutions for the wireless local area network market (“WLAN”). Initial proceeds from the transaction included $250.0 million in cash and $114.4 million in GlobespanVirata common stock.

 

During the quarter ended April 2, 2004 the Company recorded a gain of $6.9 million ($4.2 million net of tax) primarily due to the finalization of the contingent working capital adjustment.

 

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, the Company has not included the results of operations of its Wireless Networking product group in the results from continuing operations. The results of operations for this product group have been reflected in discontinued operations through the date of the sale. The income from discontinued operations for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 and April 2, 2004, respectively, consists of the following ($ in thousands):

Note J—Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets

 

On March 18, 2004, the Company announced that it would move all internal volume of its 0.6-micron (um) wafer processing to IBM’s Burlington, Vermont manufacturing facility. It focused its Palm Bay, Florida manufacturing capacity on standard analog products, which are fabricated on greater than 1um proprietary processes. Due to this shift in manufacturing to an outside provider, the Company recorded an impairment of $26.6 million ($16.5 million net of tax) during the quarter ended April 2, 2004 on certain

 

11


Table of Contents

production equipment that was used to produce the 0.6-um wafers at its Palm Bay, Florida facility. The impairment was calculated as the excess of the assets’ carrying value over its fair value as determined by the market prices of these types of assets. A majority of these assets have either been sold or are being held for sale. Subsequent to recording the initial impairment, the Company made adjustments resulting in a net impairment reversal of $0.8 million during fiscal year 2004. During quarter ended April 1, 2005, the Company reversed $0.6 million of the impairment on this equipment as the actual selling price of certain assets exceeded the impaired value.

 

Also, during quarter ended April 2, 2004 the Company impaired $0.4 million of prepaid deposits to vendors due to change in a certain product’s roadmap. This long-term prepaid asset was impaired completely as the Company had no future use for the asset.

 

The impairment described above relates to continuing operations and is contained within the caption “Impairment of long-lived assets” on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Note K—Other Income

 

During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, the Company received insurance proceeds of $2.0 million for business interruption losses sustained as a result of two hurricanes, which impacted its Florida operations during 2004.

 

Note L—Income Tax

 

The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 of 22.1% differs from the tax rate for the quarter ended April 2, 2004 of negative 148.1% due primarily to the tax gain recorded in connection with the settlement of the 1999 and 2000 Internal Revenue Service audits during the first quarter of 2004. In addition, higher sales in lower tax jurisdictions and an increase in the interest from tax-exempt versus taxable investments also contributed to the difference.

 

Note M—Warranties and Indemnifications

 

Warranty

 

Intersil provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers, the estimated warranty obligation is affected by ongoing product failure rates and material usage costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If actual product failure rates or material usage costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The Company warrants that its products will be free from defects in material workmanship and possess the electrical characteristics to which the Company has committed. Typically, the warranty period is for one year following shipment. The Company estimates its warranty reserves based on historical warranty experience, tracks returns by type and specifically identifies those returns that were based on product failures and similar occurrences. For the quarter ending April 1, 2005, changes in Intersil’s warranty accrual are summarized in the following table ($ in millions):

Indemnifications

 

The Company sold its facility in Mountaintop, Pennsylvania to Fairchild Semiconductor (“Fairchild”) in 2001. Fairchild recently alleged that trichloroethylene was discovered in the groundwater under that site, and has indicated that they will be seeking indemnification from Intersil. To the extent any contamination was caused prior to August 1999, Harris has indemnified Intersil against any associated environmental liabilities. This indemnification does not expire, nor does it have a maximum amount.

 

The Harris facilities in Palm Bay, Florida, are listed on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) for groundwater clean up under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liabilities Act, or Superfund. Intersil’s adjacent facility is included in the listing since it was owned by Harris at the time of the listing. Remediation activities associated with the NPL site have ceased. However, Harris is still obligated to conduct groundwater monitoring on the Company’s property for an unspecified period of time. Harris has indemnified Intersil against any environmental liabilities associated with this contamination. This indemnification does not expire, nor does it have a maximum amount.

 

The Company’s former facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which the Company sold to ChipPAC in June 2000, has known groundwater contamination from past operations. The contamination was discovered in May 2000, during the closure activities associated with a former waste storage pad. This contamination has been attributed to activities conducted prior to Intersil’s

Table of Contents

acquisition of the facility from Harris. Harris is conducting additional investigations and some remediation may be required. Harris has indemnified Intersil against any environmental liabilities associated with this contamination, and Intersil likewise is indemnifying ChipPAC against those liabilities. This indemnification does not expire, nor does it have a maximum amount.

 

The Company generally provides customers with a limited indemnification against intellectual property infringement claims related to the Company’s products. The Company accrues for known indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and accrues for estimated incurred but unidentified issues based on historical activity. The accrual and the related expense for known issues were not significant during the periods presented.

 

In certain instances when we sell product groups, the Company may retain certain liabilities for known exposures and provide indemnification to the buyer with respect to future claims arising from events occurring prior to the sale date, including liabilities for taxes, legal matters, intellectual property infringement, environmental exposures and other obligations. The terms of the indemnifications vary in duration, from one to two years for certain types of indemnities, to terms for tax indemnifications that are generally aligned to the applicable statute of limitations for the jurisdiction in which the divestiture occurred, and terms for environmental indemnities that typically do not expire. The maximum potential future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications are either contractually limited to a specified amount or unlimited. The Company believes that the maximum potential future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications are not determinable at this time, as any future payments would be dependent on the type and extent of the related claims, and all available defenses, which are not estimable.

 

Note N—Related Party Transactions

 

Sterling, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., and its affiliates formerly owned a significant number of Intersil’s common shares. However, as of April 1, 2005, Sterling held none. Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners, which is managed by an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., indirectly owns an interest in STATS ChipPAC.

 

Intersil has a contract with STATS ChipPAC, in which STATS ChipPAC provides a specified percentage of Intersil’s test and package activities subject to certain exceptions. The terms of the contract were the result of arms-length negotiations and are no less favorable than those that could be obtained from non-affiliated parties. This contract expires June 30, 2005. At the time the contract was entered into, Citigroup Venture Capital held a seat on Intersil’s Board of Directors and on the Board of Directors of the predecessor to STATS ChipPAC. The Company had $7.9 million and $6.3 million of trade accounts payable to STATS ChipPAC as of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Purchases under this contract totaled $11.4 million and $8.7 million during the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and April 2, 2004, respectively. Although the Company expect its relationship with STATS ChipPAC to continue after the expiration of this agreement, the services provided under this agreement are available from other vendors.

 

Note O—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On April 14, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for FAS 123R. In accordance with the new rule, the accounting provisions of FAS 123R will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2006. The Company is in the process of determining how the guidance regarding valuing share-based compensation as proscribed by FAS 123R will be applied to valuing share-based awards granted after the effective date and the impact the recognition of compensation expense related to such awards will have on its financial statements. It is, however, expected to have a negative effect on consolidated net income.

 

Note P—Legal Matters

 

The Company is currently party to various claims and legal proceedings. If the Company believes that a loss from these matters is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record the amount of the loss. As additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess any potential liability related to these matters and, if necessary, will revise its estimates.

 

If the Company believes a loss is less than likely but more than remote, it will disclose the nature of the matter and, if possible, disclose its estimate of the possible loss.

 

Note Q—Segment Information

 

The Company operates and accounts for its results in one reportable segment. The Company designs, develops, manufacturers and markets high performance integrated circuits. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 (FAS 131), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto. Except for historical information, the discussions in this section contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed below.

 

This Quarterly Report contains statements relating to our expected future results and business trends that are based upon our current estimates, expectations, and projections about our industry, and upon management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions we have made, that are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements.” In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are “forward-looking statements.” Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any “forward-looking statement” as a result of various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: global economic and market conditions, including the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the markets addressed by our and our customers’ products; demand for, and market acceptance of, new and existing products; successful development of new products; the timing of new product introductions; the successful integration of acquisitions; the availability and extent of utilization of manufacturing capacity and raw materials; the need for additional capital; pricing pressures and other competitive factors; changes in product mix; fluctuations in manufacturing yields; product obsolescence; the ability to develop and implement new technologies and to obtain protection of the related intellectual property. These “forward-looking statements” are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the “forward-looking statements”, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Overview

 

We design, develop, manufacture and market high performance integrated circuits. We believe our product portfolio addresses some of the fastest growing applications within four attractive end markets: high-end consumer, computing, communications and industrial.

Revenue

 

Revenue from continuing operations for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 decreased $9.4 million or 6.8% to $128.1 million from $137.4 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2004. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to a $5.9 million decrease in revenue for our products serving the communication end market and a $5.2 million decrease in revenue for our core power products serving the computing market. In aggregate, a 2% decrease in unit demand decreased net sales by $2.5 million and a 5% decline in average selling prices (ASP’s), decreased net sales by $6.9 million. These shifts are not expected to change the demand or return characteristics for our products.

 

Geographically, 58.7%, 26.0% and 14.6% of product sales were derived from Asia/Pacific, North America and Europe, respectively, during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 as compared to 60.8%, 25.2% and 14.2% during the quarter ended April 2, 2004.

 

We sell our products to customers in a variety of countries (in descending order by volume) including the United States, China, Taiwan, Germany, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Philippines, Italy and France as well as others with less volume. Sales to customers in the United States comprised approximately 25.7% of the revenue, followed by China with 23.6% and Taiwan with 14.1% during the quarter ended April 1, 2005. One distributor that supports a wide range of customers in Taiwan and China accounted for 10% of the Company’s sales in quarter ended April 1, 2005.

 

Gross Profit

 

Cost of product sales consists primarily of purchased materials, labor and overhead (including depreciation) associated with product manufacturing, plus licensing and sustaining engineering expenses pertaining to products sold. During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, gross profit from continuing operations decreased 10.1% or $7.9 million to $70.4 million from $78.3 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2004. As a percentage of sales, gross margin from continuing operations was 55.0% during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 compared to 57.0% during the quarter ended April 2, 2004. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to the decline in revenue and in some average selling prices.

Research and Development (“R&D”)

 

R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries and costs of employees engaged in product/process research, design and development activities, as well as related subcontracting activities, prototype development, cost of design tools and technology license agreement expenses. R&D expenses from continuing operations increased $2.2 million or 8.7% to $26.8 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 from $24.6 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2004. The increase in these expenses was primarily driven by additional labor expenses due to increased hiring and the addition of Xicor personnel, as well as salary increases.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

 

SG&A costs include marketing, selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A costs from continuing operations increased by $2.9 million or 13.2% to $24.4 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 from $21.5 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2004. The increase in spending is primarily driven by additional headcount, specifically in the marketing and selling areas, the addition of Xicor personnel, as well as increased audit expenses related to compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Amortization

 

Amortization of intangible assets from continuing operations increased by $1.3 million to $2.5 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 from $1.2 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2004. The increase is due to the addition of developed technology, resulting from the purchase of Xicor and certain of the assets of Bitblitz Communications. Definite lived assets are being amortized over their useful lives ranging from 9 to 11 years.

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, requires testing goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we determined that the value of each of our reporting units exceeded its book value. Therefore, no impairments were recorded. Depending on the future market demand for our products, among other factors, we could experience an impairment on this balance.

 

Unearned Compensation

 

Amortization of unearned compensation from continuing operations increased to $3.8 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 from $1.6 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2004. This increase is primarily due to acquisition of Xicor.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

On March 18, 2004, we announced that we would move all internal volume of our 0.6 micron (um) wafer processing to IBM’s Burlington, Vermont manufacturing facility. We started to focus our entire Palm Bay, Florida manufacturing capacity on standard analog products fabricated on greater than 1um proprietary processes. Due to this shift in manufacturing to an outside provider, we recorded an impairment of $26.6 million ($16.5 million net of tax) during the quarter ended April 2, 2004 on certain production equipment that was used to produce the 0.6-um wafers at our Palm Bay, Florida facility. The impairment was calculated as the excess of the assets’ carrying value over its fair value as determined by the market prices of these types of assets. The majority of these assets have either been sold or are being held for sale. Subsequent to recording the initial impairment, we made adjustments resulting in a net impairment reversal of $0.8 million during fiscal year 2004. During quarter ended April 1, 2005, we reversed $0.6 million of the impairment on this equipment as the actual selling price of certain assets exceeded the impaired value by at least that amount. Also, during quarter ended April 2, 2004 we impaired $0.4 million of prepaid deposits to vendors due to change in a certain product’s roadmap. This long-term prepaid asset was impaired completely as we had no future use for the asset.

 

Restructuring

 

In March 2005, the Company announced a restructuring plan to further streamline its operations and reduce costs. The restructuring plan included the termination of employment of approximately 100 employees. The terms of the relevant severance benefits were outlined in the pre-existing employee benefit policies of the Company. As the severance obligation is probable and reasonably estimable and is a vested right attributable to the employees’ service already rendered, the Company recorded restructuring charges within continuing operations of $2.8 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 for the severance benefits it was obligated to pay in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 (“SFAS 112”), “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits.” In connection with the restructuring, the employees were notified that their employment would be terminated and were apprised of the specifics of their severance benefits. The affected positions included manufacturing, research and development, and selling, general and administrative employees. As of April 1, 2005, 85% of the affected positions had been terminated.

 

Savings from the restructuring are being realized as each of the specific actions is being completed. Specifically, we estimate that annual savings of cost of product sales are approximately $5.2 million. We also estimate that annual savings of research and development expenses are $2.3 million. Finally, we estimate that annual savings of selling, general and administrative expenses are $1.0 million. These savings are primarily in the form of decreased payroll and healthcare costs. We believe there will not be significant variances between the expected savings and actual savings. The remaining restructuring accrual balance as of April 1, 2005 will be paid over the next 12 months.

 

Other Income

 

During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, we received insurance proceeds of $2.0 million for business interruption losses sustained as a result of two hurricanes, which impacted our Florida operations during 2004. These proceeds are not considered normal business operations, as such we do not expect to receive additional proceeds in the future.

Interest Income/Expense

 

Net interest income increased to $3.7 million during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 from $3.1 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2004. This increase is due to longer maturities on our held-to-maturity investment balances and increases in short-term interest rates.

 

Gain on Investments

 

During the quarter ended April 2, 2004, we sold all of our holdings in ChipPAC for a realized gain of $3.8 million. Proceeds from the sale were $8.7 million. As a result of this sale, we recognized $2.8 million ($1.8 million net of tax) of unrealized gains previously recorded in the other comprehensive income line item of shareholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Tax Expense

 

Our effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 of 22.1% differs from our tax rate for the quarter ended April 2, 2004 of negative 148.1% due primarily to the tax gain recorded in connection with the settlement of the 1999 and 2000 Internal Revenue Service audits during the first quarter of 2004. In addition, higher sales in lower tax jurisdictions and an increase in our interest from tax-exempt versus taxable investments also contributed to the difference.

 

In determining net income, we must make certain estimates and judgments in the calculation of tax expense and tax liabilities and in the recoverability of deferred tax assets that arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenues and expenses.

 

In the ordinary course of business, there may be many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. The calculation of tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. We recognize probable liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of the ultimate resolution of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than amounts reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made.

 

In addition to the risks to the effective tax rate described above, the effective tax rate reflected in our forward-looking statements is based on current enacted tax law. Significant changes in enacted tax law could materially affect these estimates.

 

Backlog

 

Our sales are made pursuant to purchase orders that are generally booked from one to six months in advance of delivery. Our standard terms and conditions of sale provide that these orders become non-cancelable thirty days prior to scheduled delivery for standard products and ninety days prior to scheduled delivery for semi-custom and custom products. Backlog is influenced by several factors, including market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product lead times. We had a six-month backlog at April 1, 2005 of $88.9 million compared to December 31, 2004 of $78.8 million. Although not always the case, backlog can be a leading indicator of performance for the next two quarters.

 

Business Outlook

 

Our external conditions continue to improve. However, due to seasonality, the high-end consumer and computing markets generally do not experience a strengthening in demand until the third or fourth quarter. On April 27, 2005, we announced our outlook for the second quarter of 2005. At that time, we expected revenue for the second quarter to grow between 4-6% over the first quarter, driven by our orders momentum, increased acceptance of our new products and the continued strength from our design wins.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

With the exception of our inventory purchase order commitments, our off-balance sheet items have not changed significantly from December 31, 2004. At April 1, 2005, we have committed to purchase $15.0 million of inventory from suppliers.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in our existing business base; the success, timing and amount of investment required to bring new products on-line; revenue growth or decline; and potential acquisitions. We believe that we have the financial resources necessary to meet business requirements for the next 12 months,

including the requisite capital expenditures for the expansion or upgrading of worldwide manufacturing capacity, working capital requirements, our dividend program, our treasury share repurchase program and potential future acquisitions or strategic investments. As of April 1, 2005, our total shareholders’ equity was $2,430.5 million. Also, we had $551.1 million in cash and short-term securities, as well as $159.6 million in long-term investments, which included $149.2 million of long-term securities and $10.4 million in other investments.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 was $35.8 million. This was primarily due to income from continuing operations of $12.8 million excluding non-cash charges such as impairment recovery of $0.6 million, amortization of purchased intangibles of $2.5 million, amortization of unearned stock-based compensation of $4.1 million, restructuring charges of $2.8 million and depreciation of long-lived assets of $6.5 million and $5.1 million in cash generated by components of working capital including accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid assets, and accounts payable. Net cash used by investing activities during quarter ended April 1, 2005 was $21.3 million. Net cash used by financing activities during the quarter ended April 1, 2005 was $25.9 million resulting primarily from the purchase of treasury shares and the payment of dividends offset by the proceeds of exercised stock options. We expect to continue this level of share repurchases for the foreseeable future.

 

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our suppliers, the estimated warranty obligation is affected by ongoing product failure rates and material usage costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If actual product failure rates or material usage costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. We warrant that our products will be free from defects in material workmanship and possess the electrical characteristics to which we have committed. The warranty period is for one year following shipment. We estimate our warranty reserves based on historical warranty experience. We track returns by type and specifically identify those returns that were based on product failures and similar occurrences. Warranty reserves for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 were $1.7 million.

 

In certain instances when we sell product groups or assets, we may retain certain liabilities for known exposures and provide indemnification to the buyer with respect to future claims arising from events occurring prior to the sale date, including liabilities for taxes, legal matters, intellectual property infringement, environmental exposures and other obligations. The terms of the indemnifications for tax are generally aligned to the applicable statute of limitations for the jurisdiction in which the divestiture occurred. The terms for environmental indemnities typically do not expire. All other indemnifications are from one to two years. The maximum potential future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnifications are either contractually limited to a specified amount or unlimited. We believe that the maximum potential future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnifications are not determinable at this time, as any future payments would be dependent on the type and extent of the related claims, and all available defenses, which are not estimable.

 

We generally provide customers with a limited indemnification against intellectual property infringement claims related to our products. We accrue for known indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and accrue for estimated incurred but unidentified issues based on historical activity. The accrual and the related expense for known issues were not significant during the periods presented.

 

Working Capital

 

Trade accounts receivable, less the allowances decreased by $1.7 million to $76.2 million at April 1, 2005 from $77.9 million at December 31, 2004. Inventories also decreased by $2.5 million or 2.7% to $93.9 million at April 1, 2005 from $96.5 million at December 31, 2004.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Capital expenditures were $2.9 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 and $2.5 million the quarter ended April 2, 2004.

 

Dividends

 

In February 2005, our Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend, of $0.04 per share, which was paid on February 25, 2005 to stockholders of record as of February 15, 2005. In April 2005, our Board of Directors also declared a dividend, of $0.04 per share, to be paid on May 27, 2005 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2005.

 

Treasury Share Repurchase Program

 

We have a treasury stock repurchase program, which authorizes us to repurchase up to $150.0 million in our common stock, of which $83.8 million had been repurchased as of April 1, 2005. During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, we, as authorized by the Board of Directors, repurchased 1,447,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an approximate cost of $24.1 million. As of April 1, 2005, we held 9,525,670 shares of treasury stock at a cost of $181.8 million. The table below summarizes this activity (in millions and at cost):

Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties

 

Sterling, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., and its affiliates formerly owned a significant number of Intersil’s common shares. However, as of April 1, 2005, Sterling held none. Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners, which is managed by an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., indirectly owns an interest in STATS ChipPAC.

 

We have a contract with STATS ChipPAC, in which they provide a specified percentage of our test and package activities subject to certain exceptions. The terms of the contract were the result of arms-length negotiations and are no less favorable than those that could be obtained from non-affiliated parties. This contract expires June 30, 2005. At the time the contract was entered into, Citigroup Venture Capital held a seat on Intersil’s Board of Directors and on the Board of Directors of the predecessor to STATS ChipPAC. We had $7.9 million and $6.3 million of trade accounts payable to STATS ChipPAC as of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Purchases under this contract totaled $11.4 million and $8.7 million during the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and April 2, 2004, respectively. Although we expect our relationship with STATS ChipPAC to continue after the expiration of this agreement, the services provided under this agreement are available from other vendors.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

During the quarter ended April 1, 2005, we purchased and sold $11.1 million of foreign exchange forward contracts. The derivatives were also recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, which was nominal, at April 1, 2005.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of April 1, 2005. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of April 1, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our CEO and CFO by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
