Quarterly Results
Revenue for the second quarter was slightly lower than expected due to persistent demand weakness in computing and infrastructure end markets. Computing and Consumer (C&C) revenue grew 2.4% sequentially driven by new smartphone wins. Industrial and Infrastructure (I&I) revenue was down 3.1% sequentially. In the I&I business, strength in automotive and military/aerospace was offset by softness in infrastructure power and industrial analog. The breakdown by end market for the quarter was as follows:

 

GAAP gross margin for the quarter was 59.3%, an increase of 120 basis points from the second quarter of 2014. Total GAAP operating expenses were $62.3 million. R&D expense was $33.1 million and SG&A expense was $25.2 million. GAAP operating income was $16.2 million or 12.2% of revenue. Q2 GAAP net income was $37.7 million and diluted GAAP EPS was $0.28.

The following non-GAAP results exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and stock compensation expense. Non-GAAP gross margin for the quarter was 59.6%. Margin declined slightly sequentially due primarily to a lower mix of I&I products. Non-GAAP operating expenses declined to $52 million as the company efficiently managed expenses. Q2 non-GAAP operating income was $26.9 million resulting in a non-GAAP operating margin of 20.3%.  Fully diluted Q2 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $0.16.
