CAMARILLO, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 28, 2024 — Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a high-performance semiconductor, IoT systems and cloud connectivity service provider, today reported unaudited financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024, which ended January 28, 2024.
"End market demand for our semiconductor business has progressed from stable to growing," said Paul H. Pickle, Semtech's president and chief executive officer. "While our hardware business remains constrained, we believe Semtech is well-positioned to benefit from near-term growth trends, particularly in our infrastructure end market."
"Working capital improvements contributed to positive operating and free cash flows for the fourth quarter, and we completed an optional principal prepayment on our credit facility," said Mark Lin, Semtech's executive vice president and chief financial officer. "We went live on a single ERP at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, which we expect will increase efficiencies and enhance internal controls."
