AnalogicTech Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2008

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc. ("AnalogicTech" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AATI), a developer of power management semiconductors for mobile consumer electronic devices, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $21.2 million, a decrease of 18.1% over net revenue of $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2007 and a sequential decrease of 15.6% from net revenue of $25.1 million for the first quarter of 2008.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. This compares to net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007, and net income of $0.4 million or $0.01 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, in-process research and development and severance-related expenses, net of taxes, net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. This compares to a non-GAAP net income of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007 and non-GAAP net income of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2008 excluded stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangibles, net of taxes.

AnalogicTech reported gross margins of 47.3% for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 55.1% for the second quarter of 2007 and 54.7% for the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP gross margin was 48.9% for the second quarter of 2008, compared to 56.2% for the second quarter of 2007 and 56.0% for the first quarter of 2008. Second quarter gross margin decreased sequentially, primarily due to a higher than normal excess inventory charge of $0.9 million associated with lower than anticipated net revenues. The Company ended the quarter with $110.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

"As we previously announced, our second quarter results were impacted by prolonged weakness in China handset sales, short-term delays in the rollout of new high profile handsets by our customers and general softness in our end markets," stated Richard K. Williams, President, CEO and CTO of AnalogicTech. "While near-term the macro economic environment is expected to continue to be challenging, we remain optimistic about our long-term growth opportunities. We continue to experience design win traction across multiple product lines. The expected dollar content of a number of recent design wins is significantly higher than the Company's historical levels. We remain focused on the continued development, introduction and roll out of high-voltage and multifunction products using ModularBCD and we are encouraged by recent successes."

Business Outlook

The following statements are based upon management's current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. AnalogicTech undertakes no obligation to update these statements.

For the third quarter ending September 30, 2008, AnalogicTech estimates revenue in the range of $24 to $26 million, and net loss in the range of $0.03 to $0.01 per diluted share on a GAAP basis. The third quarter 2008 estimates include pre-tax quarterly share-based compensation expense in the range of $1.9 to $2.1 million.

Non-GAAP Reporting

In addition to GAAP reporting, AnalogicTech reports net income, gross margin and earnings/loss per share on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP earnings information excludes certain items and their tax-related effects. AnalogicTech believes this non-GAAP earnings information provides meaningful insight into the Company's ongoing operational performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors as an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. AnalogicTech also uses this information internally to evaluate and manage company operations and to determine incentive compensation. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income, gross margin and earnings/loss per share is included in the tables below.

The non-GAAP information included in this press release is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information of other companies.
