The company reported first quarter, fiscal year 2006 revenue of $52.8 million compared with $40.4 million in the prior fiscal quarter ended March 25, 2005. The revenue for the first fiscal quarter included $43.7 million related to its core analog, mixed-signal and embedded product integrated circuits (ICs), an increase of 19 percent over the $36.8 million in revenue related to these core products during the prior quarter. First quarter gross margin was 51.7 percent, compared with 53.1 percent in the prior quarter. The gross margin for its core products was 56.3 percent. Combined research and development (R&D) and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter were $28.0 million, compared with $25.2 million in the prior quarter. Combined R&D and SG&A expense included approximately $5.4 million for video product line related expenses plus $1.1 million for a contingency related to excess leased office space.
Net income in the first fiscal quarter was $26.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. In the prior quarter, the company reported a net income of $2.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. The first fiscal quarter included a $24.8 million net gain related to a legal settlement. First fiscal quarter net income also included interest income of $1.1 million, a $388,000 gain on the sale of marketable securities and a $302,000 foreign tax benefit.
Total cash and marketable securities at the end of the first fiscal quarter were $214.5 million, compared with $179.7 million at the end of the prior fiscal quarter. Inventories were $19.5 million, down 27 percent, or $7.1 million, from the end of the March quarter.
"We are pleased to have exceeded our financial expectations for the quarter and to have successfully reduced our inventory levels," said David D. French, president and chief executive officer, Cirrus Logic. "We recently introduced our latest low-power stereo codec for applications such as MP3 players, smart phones and digital camcorders, which demonstrates our commitment to drive revenue growth in one of the hottest-growing market segments. We also anticipate that with the increased focus on our core analog and mixed-signal products, Cirrus Logic is already well on its way to achieving consistent revenue growth and profitability."
On June 30, 2005, Cirrus Logic announced the completion of the sale of its digital video product line assets to Magnum Semiconductor in exchange for a non-controlling interest in that company. First fiscal quarter revenue and expenses for the digital video product line were approximately $9.1 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The sale of the digital video product line assets excluded related inventories of $1.6 million and receivables of $5.0 million.
"We are encouraged that we have started our fiscal year with strong momentum," said French. "We have an excellent balance sheet with roughly $215 million in cash, no debt and our inventory balances are in line with our expectations. All of these factors help position Cirrus Logic for profitability and growth within its broad, expanding customer base for analog, mixed-signal and embedded products."
Outlook and Guidance
"After solid growth of 19 percent within our core analog and mixed-signal product lines in the first fiscal quarter, we are forecasting continued growth in the second quarter," said French. "Nevertheless, I remain somewhat cautious in terms of our outlook recognizing that the industry continues to face challenges."
Second Quarter FY 06 (ending September 24, 2005):
-- Sales for our core products are expected to range between $45 million and $47 million;
-- Sales from video products are estimated at $2 million, as we liquidate the remainder of the inventory in this product category;
-- Gross margin is anticipated to be between 55 percent and 57 percent for core products
-- Gross margin for the final liquidation of inventory is expected to be approximately 15 percent;
-- Combined R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to range between $20 million and $22 million;
-- The company expects to incur a charge of between $4 million and $5 million as we exit the digital video product line facility in Fremont, California, partially offset by a gain of $1.5 million on the sale of the digital video assets;
-- Cash generated from core operations is estimated to be $6 million to $8 million with an additional $6 million to $7 million expected to be generated from the sale of the remaining video product inventory to Magnum Semiconductor and the collection of outstanding receivables associated with the video product line.
