MAXIM INTEGRATED REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2015

Revenue: $567 million
Gross Margin: 55.4% GAAP (60.3% excluding special items)
EPS: $0.25 GAAP loss ($0.33 profit excluding special items)
Cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments: $1.38 billion
Fiscal second quarter revenue outlook: $565 million to $605 million

SAN JOSE, CA - January 22, 2015 - Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM) reported net revenue of $567 million for its second quarter of fiscal 2015 ended December 27, 2014, a 2% decrease from the $580 million revenue recorded in the prior quarter, and a 9% decrease year over year.

Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our December quarter revenue performance, driven by our diversification in Consumer and continued strength in our Automotive business.” Mr. Doluca continued, “We are on track to achieve our previously announced cost reduction plans, which will enable us to reduce spending while we focus investment in our growth businesses. We also decided to stop investment in Consumer MEMS and Touch technology.”

Fiscal Year 2015 Second Quarter Results
Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share in the December quarter was a $0.25 loss. The results were affected by pre-tax special items which primarily consisted of $138 million in charges related to impairment of goodwill and other assets related to our MEMS business,  $28 million in charges related to restructuring activities and $23 million in charges related to acquisitions.  GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items was $0.33. An analysis of GAAP versus GAAP excluding special items is provided in the last table of this press release.

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; accelerated depreciation; acquisition-related inventory write-up; impairment of long-lived assets; impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; severance and restructuring; acquisition-related costs; contingent consideration adjustments relating to certain acquisitions; expected loss on rent expense for vacated office space; legal settlement; loss related to sale of land and buildings; tax provision impacts due to reversal of tax reserves related to a favorable settlement of a foreign tax issue. 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:

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.
