Maxim Integrated Reports Results For The First Quarter Of Fiscal 2018

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) reported net revenue of $576 million for its first quarter of fiscal 2018 ended September 23, 2017, a 4% decrease from the $602 million revenue recorded in the prior quarter, and a 3% increase from the same quarter of last year.

Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our performance in the September quarter. Revenue growth was led by double-digit increases in Industrial and Automotive from the same quarter last year." Mr. Doluca continued, "Looking forward, we expect strong growth in Automotive, Industrial and Data Center in the December quarter with continued solid profitability."

Fiscal Year 2018 First Quarter Results
Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share in the September quarter was $0.54. The results were affected by pre-tax special items which primarily consisted of $13 million in charges related to acquisitions and $5 million in charges related to restructuring activities. GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items was $0.60. An analysis of GAAP versus GAAP excluding special items is provided in the last table of this press release.

Cash Flow Items
At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, total cash, cash equivalents and short term investments were $2.77 billion, an increase of $29 million from the prior quarter.

Notable items included:

    --  Cash flow from operations: $220 million
    --  Gross capital expenditures: $14 million
    --  Dividends paid: $101 million ($0.36 per share)
    --  Stock repurchases: $75 million

Trailing twelve months free cash flow was $819 million. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and is defined by net cash flow from operations less gross capital expenditures.

Business Outlook
The Company's 90-day backlog at the beginning of the December 2017 quarter was $426 million. Based on the beginning backlog and expected turns, the final transition to sell-in revenue accounting for distribution, and a 14-week quarter, our results for the December 2017 quarter are forecasted to be as follows:

    --  Revenue: $600 to $640 million (including $18 to $22 million for sell-in
        transition)
    --  Gross Margin: 64% to 66% GAAP (66% to 68% excluding special items)
    --  EPS: $0.57 to $0.63 GAAP ($0.61 to $0.67 excluding special items)

Maxim Integrated's business outlook does not include the potential impact of any special items related to restructuring activity, acquisitions, or other business combinations that may be completed during the quarter.

A cash dividend of $0.36 per share will be paid on December 14, 2017, to stockholders of record on November 30, 2017.

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; impairment of long-lived assets; severance and restructuring; other operating expenses (income), net; interest and other expense (income), net; and other income tax effects and adjustments. We defined free cash flow as net cash provided from operations less gross capital expenditures. 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, accelerated depreciation, and other costs of goods sold. 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; severance and restructuring, and other operating expenses (income), net. 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 Provision for Income Taxes Excluding Special Items
The use of a GAAP provision for income taxes excluding special items allows management to evaluate the provision for income taxes across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of special items including the tax provision impact of pre-tax special items. In fiscal year 2016, we began using a long-term tax rate to compute the GAAP provision for income taxes excluding special items. This long-term tax rate considers the income tax impact of pre-tax special items and eliminates the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items which vary in size and frequency. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, we used a long-term tax rate of 14%, which was our forecast of the weighted average of our normalized fiscal year GAAP tax rate excluding special items over a four-year period, that includes the past three fiscal years plus the current fiscal year projection at the beginning of fiscal year 2018. We review the long-term tax rate on an annual basis and more frequently whenever events occur that may materially affect the long-term tax rate such as tax law changes; significant changes in our geographic earnings mix; or changes in our corporate structure.

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; accelerated depreciation; impairment of long-lived assets; severance and restructuring; other operating expenses (income), net; interest and other expense (income), net; and other income tax effects and 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.
