Intersil's third quarter revenues by end market were as follows: high-end consumer, 28% of revenues; computing, 34% of revenues; industrial, 19% of revenues; and communications, 19% of revenues.
Gross margin was 54.5%, compared with gross margin of 56.3% in the same quarter last year, and 54.2% in the second quarter of 2009.
Operating margin from continuing operations was 10.4%, compared with 22.9% in the same quarter last year, and 6.2% in the second quarter of 2009. Income from continuing operations was $12.3 million or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with $47.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in the same quarter last year, and $6.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009.
Net income was $12.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with $47.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in the same quarter last year, and $6.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009. Third quarter net income includes a $14.3 million unrealized loss on Intersil's long term auction rate securities and approximately $9.7 million in related tax benefits.
"The third quarter demonstrated the ongoing broad-based recovery within our computing, consumer and now industrial end markets," said Dave Bell, Intersil's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The third quarter exhibited normal seasonality, and we believe that the communications end market is now poised for recovery as well."
"During the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Quellan, which exemplifies our strategy to expand our presence in high-margin communications infrastructure markets," continued Bell. "Quellan's signal integrity products improve the reach and power efficiency of high-speed interconnections within data centers."
At the end of the third quarter, Intersil's cash and short-term investments totaled over $329 million with no debt. Free cash flow was $32.6 million during the third quarter.
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 November 20, 2009 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2009.
Fourth Quarter 2009 Outlook
-- Revenues are expected to be in the range of $170 million to $177 million -- Research and development expenses are expected to decrease slightly to approximately $38 million -- Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be roughly flat at approximately $33 million -- Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $7.8 million -- GAAP earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.14 to $0.17
"The steady improvement of business conditions in the third quarter gives us confidence in the sustainability of this recovery. Our book-to-bill was above one, and we saw increasing backlog exiting the quarter," said Mr. Bell. "We believe our gross margin will again increase moderately as sales into the industrial and communications end markets grow in the fourth quarter."
