Revenue: $606 million
Gross Margin: 56.1% GAAP (60.1% excluding special items)
EPS: $0.42 GAAP ($0.43 excluding special items)

Fiscal fourth quarter revenue outlook: $635 million to $665 million

SAN JOSE, CA - April 24, 2014 - Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM) reported net revenue of $606 million for its third quarter of fiscal 2014 ended March 29, 2014, a 2% decrease from the $620 million revenue recorded in the prior quarter.

Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We achieved better than seasonal results for our mix of businesses, driven by growth in automotive, industrial and communications, as market requirements converge on the need for lower power, higher functionality, and more integrated designs. ” Mr. Doluca continued, “Looking forward, we expect continued growth in these businesses, accompanied by strength in mobility.”

Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share in the March quarter was $0.42. Earnings per share included an intellectual property licensing income amount of $17 million, included in Interest and Other Income.

The results were affected by special items which primarily consisted of a $35 million pre-tax charge for items related to acquisitions and a $35 million benefit for income taxes. GAAP earnings per share, excluding special

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, Maxim Integrated uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results to exclude special items related to intangible asset amortization; acquisition-related inventory write-up; impairment of long-lived assets; severance and restructuring; acquisition-related costs; contingent consideration adjustments relating to certain acquisitions; legal settlement; in-process research and development abandoned; legal expenses related to Volterra; impairment of investments in privately-held companies; tax provision impacts due to fixed asset tax basis adjustments; research and development tax credits; and discontinued operations, net of tax. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate Maxim Integrated’s current performance. Many analysts covering Maxim Integrated use the non-GAAP measures as well. Given management’s use of these non-GAAP measures, Maxim Integrated believes these measures are important to investors in understanding Maxim Integrated’s current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in Maxim Integrated’s core business across different time periods. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. The non-GAAP measures displayed in the table above include the following:

GAAP Gross Profit Excluding Special Items
The use of GAAP gross profit excluding special items allows management to evaluate the gross margin of the Company’s core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special items including intangible asset amortization and acquisition-related inventory write-up. In addition, it is an important component of management’s internal performance measurement and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents GAAP gross profit excluding special items to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of Maxim Integrated’s core businesses.

GAAP Operating Expenses Excluding Special Items
The use of GAAP operating expenses excluding special items allows management to evaluate the operating expenses of the Company’s core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special items including intangible asset amortization; impairment of long-lived assets;

In addition, it is an important component of management’s internal performance measurement and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents GAAP operating expenses excluding special items to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our core business and its direct operating expenses.

GAAP Net Income and GAAP Net Income per Share Excluding Special Items
The use of GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share excluding special items allow management to evaluate the operating results of Maxim Integrated’s core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special items including intangible asset amortization; acquisition-related inventory write-up; impairment of long-lived assets; severance and restructuring; acquisition-related costs; contingent consideration adjustments relating to certain acquisitions; legal settlement; in-process research and development abandoned; legal expenses related to Volterra; impairment of investments in privately-held companies; research and development tax credits; discontinued operations, net of tax; and the tax provision impacts due to fixed asset tax basis adjustments. In addition, they are important components of management’s internal performance measurement and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share excluding special items to enable investors and analysts to understand the results of operations of Maxim Integrated’s core businesses and to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in our industry.
