Business Outlook
Including $5 million in patent sale revenue, the company expects revenue in the second quarter to be in the range of $168 million to $173 million. Second quarter diluted earnings per share are expected to be between $0.23 and $0.29 on a GAAP basis, and between $0.61 and $0.67 on a non-GAAP basis, which reflects an expected $0.09 after-tax benefit from the patent sale transaction.
“Strong top line performance, fueled by record revenue in IoT and Infrastructure, combined with good gross margin results and favorable opex, drove a solid beat in first quarter non-GAAP EPS,” said Tyson Tuttle, CEO of Silicon Labs. “Over the past 20 years, we’ve established ourselves as a leading innovator of silicon, software and solutions for a more connected world. The launch of our multiprotocol Wireless Gecko portfolio enables game-changing functionality for our customers and will drive our growth and success in the broad IoT market.”
