Second quarter revenue of $134.0 million was up sequentially and year-over-year

(PRNewswire) —   Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a leading provider of innovative power management and precision analog solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2016. Second quarter revenue of $134.0 million was up 3.7% sequentially and 1.2% year-over-year.

Company Highlights

• Both Consumer and Computing (C&C) and Industrial and Infrastructure (I&I) revenue were up year-over-year.
• I&I demand improved broadly, resulting in 7.8% sequential growth.
• Gross margin increased sequentially again to 59.4% on a GAAP basis and 59.6% on a non-GAAP basis.
• Planned closure of a portion of the company's manufacturing operations resulted in restructuring charges of $13.5 million, lowering GAAP operating margin and reducing GAAP earnings per share to $0.01.
• Non-GAAP operating margin and earnings per share increased on both a sequential and year-over-year basis and were 21.1% and $0.17 for the quarter. 
• Cash and cash equivalents increased again to $257 million at quarter-end.

Quarterly Results
Revenue for the second quarter improved sequentially due to strength in the company's I&I products. Aerospace revenue achieved a recent record, while automotive revenue was near record levels in the quarter. Both I&I power and industrial analog were up again sequentially as a result of improving end market demand. Second quarter C&C revenue decreased 3.6% sequentially due to expected weakness in consumer demand, but was up 2% year-over-year.

"With year-over-year growth in both of our key businesses, we're encouraged with the progress in returning Intersil to a sustained growth path," said Necip Sayiner, president and CEO of Intersil. "An improving cost structure and strong gross margins are providing for good earnings leverage as we move closer to our long-term target operating model."

In addition, any statements that refer to projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements in the quote from our CEO, including regarding our future growth and progress towards our long-term target operating model, statements under the caption "Third Quarter 2016 Outlook," that relate to our business, future revenues, future expenses, future profits or losses, growth plans and other strategies, product and customer initiatives, market growth projections, and our industry in general.

These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this communication and Intersil undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Reporting
To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Intersil uses non-GAAP financial measures, which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in detail below. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed in conjunction with Intersil's GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting the Company's business and operations. It should also be noted that Intersil's non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by Intersil include:

• Gross profit;
• Operating expenses;
• Provision (benefit) for income taxes;
• Operating income (loss);
• Net income (loss);
• Diluted earnings (loss) per share; and
• Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted.

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because the investor community uses non-GAAP results in its analysis and comparison of historical results and projections of the Company's future operating results. These non-GAAP results exclude acquisition-related charges, restructuring and related costs, equity-based compensation expense, and certain other expenses and benefits. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of the business. These non-GAAP results are also consistent with the way management internally analyzes Intersil's financial results.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures supplement, and should be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the accompanying press release.

As presented in the "Non-GAAP Results" tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

Acquisition-related charges. Acquisition-related charges are not factored into management's evaluation of potential acquisitions or Intersil's performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to the Company's core operating performance. Adjustments of these items provide investors with a basis to compare Intersil's performance to other companies without the variability caused by purchase accounting. Acquisition-related charges primarily include:

• Amortization of purchased intangibles, which include purchased intangibles such as purchased technology, patents, customer relationships, trademarks, backlog and non-compete agreements.
• One-time charges associated with completing an acquisition including contract termination costs.

Other adjustments. These items are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not related to the core operating activities and on-going future operating performance of Intersil. Excluding these items allows investors to better compare Intersil's period-over-period performance without such expense, which Intersil believes may be useful to the investor community. Other adjustments primarily include:

• Equity-based compensation expense.
• Legal judgments, awards, or governmental fines or penalties.
• Income from IP agreements.
• Restructuring and related costs, including asset impairment charges.
• Write-offs (recoveries) related to Auction Rate Securities.
• Tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments.
• Diluted weighted average shares non-GAAP adjustment - for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, the GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding is adjusted to exclude the benefits of equity-based compensation expense attributable to future services not yet recognized in the financial statements that are treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.

Comparability. The above criteria has been consistently applied when calculating the non-GAAP financial measures for all periods presented in this press release and accompanying tables.
