  • Record Revenue of $165M, up 9% Year-Over-Year
  • Record Gross Profit of $101M, up 35% Year-Over-Year
  • Record Gross Profit Margin of 61%
  • Net Income up 29% Sequentially

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 21, 2013--Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today reported unaudited financial results for its fiscal year 2014 second quarter, which ended July 28, 2013. The company also announced that its Board of Directors approved increasing the existing stock repurchase authorization by $50.0 million. Prior to the increase, the company had $42.5 million remaining from the authorization implemented in November 2011.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $165.0 million, up 9.5 percent from the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 and up 1.6 percent from the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Gross profit margin, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was 61.0 percent compared to 49.5 percent in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 and 59.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $19.1 million or 28 cents per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net income of $10.0 million or 15 cents per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 and GAAP net income of $14.8 million or 22 cents per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.


To facilitate the complete understanding of comparable financial performance between periods, Semtech also presents performance results net of certain non-cash and one-time items. Semtech's non-GAAP results exclude the following items:

  • Stock-based compensation expense
  • Acquisition related fair value adjustments
  • Transaction and integration related expenses
  • Intangible amortization and impairments
  • Write off of deferred financing costs
  • Release of prior accrued taxes on foreign earnings

Excluding the items listed above, Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $35.8 million or 52 cents per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $27.5 million or 41 cents per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 and was $31.3 million or 46 cents per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was 61.3 percent. Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was 61.2 percent and 61.6 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

As of July 28, 2013 Semtech had $242.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, compared to $173.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 and $236.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Mohan Maheswaran, Semtech's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Semtech delivered solid second quarter results with record revenue and gross margin. We also expanded operating margin, grew net income and continued to see strong design win activity. We expect our Q3 results to be negatively impacted by both a reduction in demand and inventory corrections at several of our largest smartphone customers. We anticipate that this weakness will continue through most of the second half. However, we remain confident in our ability to manage through any short term demand fluctuations as we head towards our $1 billion revenue goal."

The results announced today are preliminary, as they are subject to customary quarterly review procedures by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. As such, these results are subject to revision until the Company will have filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.
