MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - July 22, 2009) - Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: [ ISIL ]), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended July 3, 2009.

Results of Operations

Net revenues for the second quarter were $147.3 million, a 32% decrease from $216.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 and a 25% increase from $118.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. Intersil's second quarter revenues by end market were as follows: high-end consumer, 25.6% of revenues; computing, 35.0% of revenues; industrial, 19.0% of revenues; and communications, 20.4% of revenues.

Gross margin was 54.2%, compared with gross margin of 56.7% in the same quarter last year, and 55.1% in the first quarter of 2009.

Operating margin from continuing operations was 6.2%, compared with 20.1% in the same quarter last year. Income from continuing operations was $6.2 million or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $38.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share in the same quarter last year, and $2.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009.

GAAP net income, which includes stock-based compensation expenses, restructuring expenses and amortization of intangible assets, was $6.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $38.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share in the same quarter last year, and $2.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009. Net income in the second quarter of 2009 was reduced by approximately $0.03 per diluted share due to a one-time $3.4 million tax expense associated with the move of Intersil's international headquarters.

"We are pleased with our strong performance and ability to beat and raise our second quarter revenue guidance," said Dave Bell, Intersil's President and Chief Executive Officer. "As expected, we are seeing steady recovery in our computing and consumer end markets. In addition, our industrial end market bucked the declining industry trend due to growing numbers of new products and design wins. We are cautiously optimistic about this momentum and believe it will continue to propel Intersil toward our long term goals."

"Our strong balance sheet continues to grow with over $324 million in cash and short-term investments, and no debt. We continue to control expenses, and remain committed to growing revenue faster than operating expenses. These efforts allowed Intersil to generate $30 million in free cash flow during the second quarter," continued Bell.

Intersil's Board of Directors has authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. The payment of this dividend will be made on August 21, 2009 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 11, 2009.

Third Quarter 2009 Outlook

 -- Revenues are expected to be in the range of $156 million to $162 million (+6% to +10% sequentially) -- Gross margin is expected to be up slightly from second quarter -- Research and development expenses are expected to increase to approximately $39 million -- Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase to approximately $32 million -- Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $8 million -- GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.08 to $0.11 

"Business conditions improved during the second quarter and we saw a positive book-to-bill and increasing backlog exiting the quarter," said Mr. Bell. "We believe our current bookings are being driven by a combination of successful new products and seasonal consumption in the third quarter. We expect our gross margin will increase slightly as the industrial and communications markets stage a moderate recovery in the second half of 2009."
