Total cash, cash equivalents and short term investments decreased by $180 million during Q2. Items contributing to this decline were $106 million for two income tax payments in the quarter, $94 million for previously announced goodwill payments related to expired options, $63 million for the acquisition of the storage line from Vitesse, $60 million for dividends and $77 million for property and equipment, partially offset by strong cash flow generated from the P&L.
Maxim is not currently providing detailed GAAP and non-GAAP financials for the quarter ending December 29, 2007 due to the previously announced need to restate its historical financial statements to record additional non-cash, stock-based compensation expense related to past stock-option grants. Consequently, limited financial data is being presented at the present time.
Fab and R&D Restructuring
Maxim announced the ramp down and eventual closure of its wafer fab in Dallas. This action is the result of recent success in bringing capacity on line at the Company's strategic manufacturing partner, Epson, combined with improving yields and shortening cycle times in Maxim fabs thereby increasing Maxim's effective wafer output. The long-term benefit of this fab consolidation is expected to be approximately $18 million in annual cost savings.
Maxim today announced the restructuring of certain businesses, including a decision to stop funding R&D for the handset RF transceiver product line. The approximate reduction in annual operating expenses from this action is $15 million.
As a result of these restructuring actions, Maxim expects to take a one-time charge of $10 million before asset impairment costs which are as yet undetermined.
Business Outlook
During Q2 Maxim's net realizable bookings were down 9% sequentially primarily due to seasonality and customer concerns about the economic environment. We therefore expect Q3 revenue to be in the range of $475 to $495 million.
Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Notwithstanding our Q3 revenue decline due to seasonality and economic concerns, we are pleased that the revenues generated in the just completed December quarter were an all time record for the Company, with sequential growth in all four end markets. Our strong performance in Q2 and our restructuring actions this quarter clearly demonstrate we are executing to our strategy."
Dividend
A cash dividend for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 of $0.1875 per share will be paid on February 28, 2008 to stockholders of record on February 14, 2008.
