HILLSBORO, OREGON (USA) - April 25, 2012 - TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc (NASDAQ: TQNT), a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, announces its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, including the following highlights:
▪ | Revenues for the quarter were $216.7 million |
▪ | GAAP net income for the quarter was $1.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share |
▪ | Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $4.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share |
▪ | Opened TriQuint International headquarters in Singapore, strengthening customer relationships and supply chain efficiencies |
▪ | Reached a significant milestone in production shipments of GaN products for S-band radars |
▪ | New Multi-mode and Quad-band PA modules now shipping in Samsung Galaxy SII and Huawei Honor smartphones |
Commenting on the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Ralph Quinsey, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated “Our revenue was better than normal seasonality in the first quarter and we saw signs of improvement in some of our infrastructure markets. While we anticipate a challenging second quarter in the mobile devices market, specifically with our largest customer, I believe this dip will be temporary and I remain confident about our long term position. We have achieved design win success with our new products and I believe we will return to normal revenue levels and growth in the second half of 2012.”
Summary Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012:
Revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were $216.7 million, down 3% from the first quarter of 2011 and down 5% sequentially. Networks market revenue grew 10% sequentially while mobile devices market revenue and defense & aerospace market revenue decreased 8% and 4%, respectively.
GAAP
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2012 was 28.9%, down sequentially from 29.5%.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $66.2 million, or 31% of revenue, up from $61.6 million in the previous quarter partially due to an increase in litigation expenses.
Net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.9 million or $0.01 per diluted share, down from $4.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the previous quarter. Included in net income was a gain on a previously impaired investment of $7.0 million.
Cash and investments grew by $32.6 million to $194.9 million in the quarter due primarily to improved working capital management and lower capital expenditures.
Non-GAAP
Gross margin for the first quarter was 30.4%, slightly down sequentially from 31.0%.
Operating expenses for the quarter were $61.4 million, or 28% of revenue, up from $56.9 million in the prior quarter.
Net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $4.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, down sequentially from $0.08 per diluted share.
Please see the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below and the attached supplemental schedule for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
Outlook:
The Company believes second quarter 2012 revenues will be between $170 million and $185 million and non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 27% and 29%. Second quarter non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $0.10 and $0.15 due to weak revenue and higher litigation costs. The Company expects to return to normal revenue levels in the second half of 2012. The Company is 91% booked to the midpoint of revenue guidance.
As part of a planned transition in filter packaging technology and due to a change in product mix, the Company plans to restructure its filter related operations during the second quarter. The Company expects to record a GAAP restructuring charge of between $12 and $14 million, consisting of a non-cash charge for excess equipment of between $10 and $12 million and a cash charge for the remainder that is primarily related to severance costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release provides financial measures for non-GAAP net income, diluted earnings per share, gross profit, operating expenses and operating income (loss) that exclude equity compensation expense, non-cash tax expense, certain entries associated with acquisitions, and other specifically identified non-routine items, and are therefore not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The charges associated with acquisitions reflect the amortization of intangible and tangible assets recorded in connection with acquisition accounting and charged to the income statement. The non-cash tax expense excludes certain deferred tax charges and benefits that do not result in a tax payment or tax refund. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information that enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate TriQuint's operating results.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be used in isolation and should not be considered a substitute for any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool, including that other companies may calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. The company compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amount excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The company further compensates for the limitations of our use of non-GAAP financial measures by presenting comparable GAAP measures more prominently. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with our GAAP net income and net income per share.
