|
San Jose, CA, April, 26, 2012 — Micrel, Incorporated (Nasdaq NM: MCRL), an industry leader in analog, high bandwidth communications and Ethernet IC solutions, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
First quarter revenues of $61.2 million were up by $2.4 million, or 4.0 percent, from $58.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in revenues was driven by overall demand from customers in most geographies and end markets. Compared to the same period last year, first quarter 2012 revenues were lower by $6.3 million.

First quarter 2012 GAAP net income of $5.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compares to fourth quarter 2011 GAAP net income of $5.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, and GAAP net income of $9.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the same period in 2011. First quarter 2012 non-GAAP net income of $6.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compares to fourth quarter 2011 non-GAAP net income of $6.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $9.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the same period in 2011. A reconciliation of the GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income is provided in the financial tables of this press release. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and the related tax effects.
“We experienced an increase in order rates toward the end of the first quarter of this year and posted higher revenues and profits compared to the prior quarter,” commented Ray Zinn, president and CEO of Micrel. “Gross margin rose to 54.3% primarily due to a richer mix of distribution sales which carry higher margins and higher factory utilization. Excluding the one-time tax adjustments for both the first quarter of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011, the first quarter 2012 GAAP net income would have been $5.9 million ($0.10 per basic and diluted share) and the fourth quarter 2011 GAAP net income would have been $3.2 million ($0.05 per basic and diluted share), or an increase in net income of 83% and earnings per share of 100%. For the first time in a while, our book-to-bill is now 1:1.”

Outlook
“Currently, we estimate that revenues for the second quarter of 2012 will be in the range of up 6% to up 10% on a sequential basis, including approximately $2.0 million of revenue for the second quarter from the recently completed acquisition of PhaseLink™. Based upon current estimates, gross profit margin is expected to be in a range of approximately 53 to 54 percent as a result of planned lower manufacturing utilization to control inventories. In addition, the Company estimates that second quarter 2012 GAAP net income will be approximately $0.08 to $0.11 per diluted share.
“Last month we signed a definitive agreement to acquire PhaseLink™, and our acquisition of a controlling interest closed on April 2, 2012. We anticipate this acquisition will significantly augment Micrel’s penetration into the clock and timing markets. As noted in our March 15, 2012 press release, we do not believe that PhaseLink™ will be accretive on a GAAP basis until 2013. To this end, we would expect diminution of earnings per share to be approximately two to three cents for 2012. We are pleased to announce that the acquisition of PhaseLink™ is going smoothly.”
Dividend
The Company announced today that Micrel’s Board of Directors has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share of common stock. The payment of this dividend will be made on May 23, 2012, to shareholders of record as of May 9, 2012.

Non-GAAP Reporting
The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures only because investors and financial analysts use non-GAAP results in their analysis of historical results and projections of the Company’s future operating results. The Company’s management uses non-GAAP measures on a limited basis, primarily for employee performance-based compensation. In order to facilitate the computation of non-GAAP results for the financial analyst community and investors, the Company makes reference to non-GAAP net income and earnings per share. These non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and the related tax effects. Micrel references those results to allow a better comparison of results in the current period to those in prior periods and to provide insight to the Company’s on-going operating performance after exclusion of these items. The Company has reconciled such non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the financial tables at the end of this press release.
Reference to these non-GAAP results should be considered in addition to results that are prepared under current accounting standards, but should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in accordance with GAAP. It should also be noted that Micrel’s non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
