SAN JOSE, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Micrel, Incorporated (Nasdaq: MCRL), an industry leader in analog, high bandwidth communications and Ethernet IC solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Second quarter revenues of $73.9 million increased by $6.7 million, or 10.0%, up from $67.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. The sequential increase in revenues was primarily due to improved demand in the communications, computer and industrial end markets. Compared to the same period last year, revenues were higher by $22.1 million, or 42.7%, due to higher overall demand from customers in all geographies and end markets. This is reflective of a global recovery from the worldwide economic downturn that significantly impacted most consumer-related markets during the prior year.
Second quarter 2010 GAAP net income of $12.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share compares to first quarter 2010 GAAP net income of $9.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, and GAAP net income of $3.9 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the same period in 2009. Second quarter 2010 non-GAAP net income of $13.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share compares to first quarter 2010 non-GAAP net income of $10.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $4.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the same period in 2009. A reconciliation of the GAAP net income to non-GAAP net income is provided in the financial tables of this press release. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and the related tax effects.
"Second quarter revenues of $73.9 million increased by 10% on a sequential quarter basis but fell slightly short of our expected sequential growth range of 12% to 15%. This was primarily due to supply chain delinquencies that delayed some of our scheduled product shipments in the quarter. However, we currently expect the supply chain constraints will be resolved during the third quarter and will not impact our results in the second half of 2010," commented Ray Zinn, president and CEO of Micrel. "Despite this short-term challenge, our second quarter results were solid and I was pleased with our operational execution. Demand from customers serving the communications, computer and industrial end markets was strong, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio well above one along with a robust ending backlog. During the previous several quarters, channel inventories were low, but an increase in the second quarter now has channel inventories approaching normal levels. In addition, our second quarter gross margin of 57.8% improved significantly, largely due to improved factory utilization and a richer product mix. This is a fifth consecutive quarter that gross margins have increased, reflecting the leverage in our business model as factory utilization improves. Overall, I believe we are doing a good job controlling operating expenses while managing the significant growth we have achieved during the past several quarters. As a result, our second quarter operating margin expanded to 25.8%—the highest level in recent memory."
Outlook
Commenting on Micrel's business outlook, Mr. Zinn said, "Our backlog is at a 10-year high and I am confident that we can make up most of the second quarter revenue shortfall in the third quarter. In addition, new order bookings remain robust. Our new product development initiatives continue to expand our served available market to include high growth opportunities in digital television, display backlight drivers, 3G and 4G communications networks, computing and automotive, to name but a few. And importantly, we continue to closely manage expenses and improve capacity utilization to drive profitable growth."
For the third quarter of 2010, the Company estimates that revenues will increase in the range of 5% to 8% on a sequential basis. Gross profit margin is expected to be approximately 58%. In addition, the Company estimates that GAAP net income will be approximately $0.21 to $0.23 per diluted share.
Dividend
The Company announced today that Micrel's Board of Directors has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.035 per share of common stock. The payment of this dividend will be made on August 25, 2010, to shareholders of record as of August 11, 2010.

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, such factors as: softness in demand for our products; customer decisions to cancel, reschedule, or delay orders for our products; the effect that lead times and channel inventories have on the demand for our products; economic or financial difficulties experienced by our customers; the effect of business conditions in the computer, wireless, telecommunications and industrial markets; the impact of any previous or future acquisitions; changes in demand for networking or high bandwidth communications products; the impact of competitive products and pricing and alternative technological advances; the accuracy of estimates used to prepare the Company's financial statements and forecasts; the global economic situation; the ability of the Company's vendors and subcontractors to supply or manufacture the Company's products in a timely manner; the timely and successful development and market acceptance of new products and upgrades to existing products; softness in the economy and the U.S. stock markets as a whole; fluctuations in the market price of Micrel's common stock and other market conditions; the difficulty of predicting our future cash needs; the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company from time to time; Micrel's operating cash flow, and economic and industry projections.

Non-GAAP Reporting
The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures only because investors and financial analysts use non-GAAP results in their analysis of historical results and projections of the Company's future operating results. The Company's management uses non-GAAP measures on a limited basis, primarily for employee performance-based compensation. In order to facilitate the computation of non-GAAP results for the financial analyst community and investors, the Company makes reference to non-GAAP net income and earnings per share. These non-GAAP results exclude the impact of revenues and cost of revenues related to intellectual property settlements, stock-based compensation expense, proxy contest expenses, restructuring and impairment charges or credits, other income related to litigation settlements and their respective related tax effects. Micrel references those results to allow a better comparison of results in the current period to those in prior periods and to provide insight to the Company's on-going operating performance after exclusion of these items. The Company has reconciled such non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the financial tables at the end of this press release.
Reference to these non-GAAP results should be considered in addition to results that are prepared under current accounting standards, but should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in accordance with GAAP. It should also be noted that Micrel's non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
