MAXIM INTEGRATED REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2019


•	Revenue: $542 million


•	Gross Margin: 62.8% GAAP (63.8% excluding special items)


•	EPS: $0.47 GAAP ($0.52 excluding special items)


•	Fiscal fourth quarter revenue outlook: $540 to $580 million

SAN JOSE, CA - April 30, 2019 - Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM) reported net revenue of $542 million for its third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended March 30, 2019, a 6% decrease from the $577 million revenue recorded in the prior quarter, and a 16% decrease from the same quarter of last year.

Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our March quarter results met our expectations and end market demand appears to have stabilized. Looking ahead to the June quarter, we expect a return to seasonality in Industrial and Automotive, with both end markets trending up sequentially from the soft March quarter. Our profitability remains at industry-leading levels in this cycle due to our flexible manufacturing structure and overall business model.”

Fiscal Year 2019 Third Quarter Results

Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share in the March quarter was $0.47. The results were affected by $7 million in pre-tax special items which primarily consisted of charges related to acquisitions. GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items was $0.52. An analysis of GAAP versus GAAP excluding special items is provided in this press release.

Cash Flow Items

At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019, total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $1.90 billion, a decrease of $62 million from the prior quarter.

Notable items included:


•	Cash flow from operations: $207 million


•	Capital expenditures: $21 million


•	Dividends paid: $126 million ($0.46 per share)


•	Stock repurchases: $117 million

Adjusted trailing twelve months free cash flow was $899 million, which excludes a one-time tax payment of $178 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and is defined by cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.

Business Outlook

The Company’s 90-day backlog at the beginning of the June 2019 quarter was $399 million. Based on the beginning backlog and expected turns, our results for the June 2019 quarter are forecasted to be as follows:


•	Revenue: $540 to $580 million


•	Gross Margin: 63% to 66% GAAP (64% to 67% excluding special items)


•	EPS: $0.53 to $0.59 GAAP ($0.54 to $0.60 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.

Dividend

A cash dividend of $0.46 per share will be paid on June 14, 2019, to stockholders of record on May 30, 2019.

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; 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. 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. Special items include the tax impact of pre-tax special items, significant tax audit settlements, significant prior year tax reserve adjustments, and significant non-recurring and period specific tax items, which vary in size and frequency, including certain tax charges resulting from U.S. tax legislation that was enacted on December 22, 2017. We used a long-term average tax rate to compute the GAAP tax provision excluding special items for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018; that long-term average tax rate was the weighted average of our normalized fiscal year GAAP tax rate, excluding special items over a four-year period, that included fiscal year 2018 and the three prior fiscal years. A long-term average tax rate was not used for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 or for first, second and third quarters of fiscal year 2019 because, due to the impacts of tax reform, a long-term average tax rate was no longer appropriate.

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; 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.
