MILPITAS, Calif. & BIEL, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 2011--IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS), an international power and IC semiconductor company, today reported record revenues and backlog for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $101.8 million, up 5% sequentially from net sales of $96.8 million in the immediately preceding quarter, and up 20% from net revenues of $84.9 million in the prior year’s first quarter. This marks the eighth consecutive quarter of revenue growth and the first time in the company's history that quarterly revenues exceeded the $100 million mark.
“As evidenced by this $100 million milestone, which is another sequential record for quarterly revenues, IXYS has positioned itself as one of the fastest growing diversified power semiconductor companies. We attribute our success to the breadth of our product portfolio and technological advances - from power semiconductors to microcontroller ICs. Our sales and marketing team continued to introduce new products to the marketplace on a worldwide basis. The combination of our in-house fab facilities and external foundries provides us with a competitive advantage and the ability to address the surging demand for our products," commented Dr. Nathan Zommer, Chairman & CEO. "We have continued our R&D investments in power semiconductors, HVICs and MCUs that address new applications for power management, efficient LED lighting, renewable energy, motor control and electric transportation."
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $10.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, which is an increase of 52.9% from net income of $6.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior year’s first quarter.
Gross profit was $35.0 million, or 34.4% of net revenues, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, as compared to gross profit of $29.5 million, or 34.7% of net revenues, for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.
IXYS experienced record backlog of $193.2 million at June 30, 2011, up $14.5 million from March 31, 2011 and up more than $28.3 million when compared to $164.9 million at June 30, 2010. Backlog represents existing customer orders that, by their terms, can be shipped within the 12 months following June 30, 2011. Bookings were $116.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $111.4 million for the prior quarter.
The company ended June 2011 with $87.7 million in cash, which is an increase of $11.7 million over the cash at March 31, 2011. "Clearly, our business remains highly profitable, and we expect to continue generating strong cash from operations in the ensuing quarters," commented Mr. Uzi Sasson, President & CFO.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company purchased about 118,000 shares of its common stock under its existing share repurchase program for about $1.5 million.
Mr. Sasson continued, "This is the summer quarter, where we have traditionally experienced seasonal production issues and situations where customers have delayed delivery. Combined with the uncertain macroeconomic environment, we are faced with a challenging quarter for shipments. However, with our strong backlog, we expect our product revenues for the September 2011 quarter to be similar to those of the June quarter.”
