GAAP net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 were a record $1.650 billion, up 26.0% from net sales of $1.310 billion in the prior year's second fiscal quarter.
GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $242.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, up from GAAP net income of $73.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior year's second fiscal quarter. For the second quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, GAAP net income was significantly adversely impacted by purchase accounting adjustments associated with our acquisitions.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was a record at $605.6 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, up from non-GAAP net income of $416.4 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the prior year's second fiscal quarter. For the second quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, our non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance, and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, IT security remediation costs, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debentures, and losses on the settlement of debt. For the second quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the applicable fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP and GAAP results is included in this press release.
Microchip announced today that on November 2, 2021, its Board of Directors declared a record quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of 23.2 cents per share, up 6.2% from the cash dividend paid last quarter and up 25.9% from the year ago quarter. The quarterly dividend is payable on December 3, 2021 to stockholders of record on November 19, 2021.
"Our September quarter results continued to be strong, with revenue growing 5.1% sequentially and 26% year-over-year despite ongoing manufacturing capacity constraints," said Ganesh Moorthy, President and Chief Executive Officer. "September quarter revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP EPS were all records. Our September 2021 quarter results have now exceeded our long-term operating model of 65% non-GAAP gross margin and 42% non-GAAP operating margin. We plan to update our long-term business model on November 8, 2021, at our Investor and Analyst Day in New York City."
Mr. Moorthy added, "Business conditions remained exceptionally strong through the September quarter with high levels of bookings and record backlog for product to be shipped over multiple quarters, accentuated by our Preferred Supply Program which continues to be greater than 50% of our aggregate backlog and 100% of our backlog in the most constrained capacity areas. Demand outpaced the capacity improvements we implemented during the September quarter resulting in our unsupported backlog continuing to climb and our lead times stretching out."
Steve Sanghi, Microchip's Executive Chair, said, "Microchip's Board of Directors approved a sequential increase in our dividend of 6.2%, to a record 23.2 cents per share, up from our August dividend of 21.85 cents, on a split-adjusted basis. The dividend announced today also represents a 25.9% year-over-year increase. This continues the path we initiated in February 2021 to commence larger increases in our quarterly dividends, with a sequential increase of 5.8% in February, 5.9% in May, and 5.8% in August. We expect to continue to increase dividends as part of our cash return strategy."
Eric Bjornholt, Microchip's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We continued to aggressively pay down our debt with another $415.6 million of payments during the September quarter, reflecting a cumulative debt pay down of $4.41 billion over the past 13 quarters, as we have actively managed the working capital requirements for the business. In the September quarter, we exchanged $263.6 million of dilutive convertible debentures for cash and shares of common stock. We used cash generation during the quarter to fund the principal amount of the convertible debt exchanges and we believe that these transactions will benefit stockholders by significantly reducing share count dilution to the extent our stock price appreciates over time. We remain focused on enhancing our capital structure as we continue on our path to becoming an investment grade rated company."
Mr. Moorthy concluded, "Our backlog for the December quarter is very strong. In addition, we have considerable backlog requested by customers in the December quarter that currently cannot be fulfilled until later quarters despite us growing capacity from last quarter. Given this backdrop, we expect our net sales in the December quarter to be up between 4% and 8% sequentially. At the mid-point of our guidance for the December quarter, net sales will be 29.3% higher than the year ago quarter."

(2) We are not able to estimate the amount of certain Special Charges and Other, net that may be incurred during the quarter ending December 31, 2021. Therefore, our estimate of GAAP operating expenses excludes certain amounts that may be recognized as Special Charges and Other, net in the quarter ending December 31, 2021.
(3) The forecast for GAAP tax expense excludes any unexpected tax events that may occur during the quarter, as these amounts cannot be forecasted.
(4) Represents the expected cash tax rate for fiscal 2022, excluding any transition tax payments associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
- Microchip's inventory days in the December 2021 quarter are expected to be in the range of 112 to 118 days, compared to 112 days on September 30, 2021. Our actual inventory level will depend on the inventory that our distributors decide to hold to support their customers, overall demand for our products, and our production levels.
- Capital expenditures for the quarter ending December 31, 2021 are expected to be between $70 million and $90 million. Capital expenditures for all of fiscal 2022 are expected to be between $350 million and $400 million. We continue to add capital equipment to maintain, grow and operate our internal manufacturing capabilities to support the expected growth of our business.
Under the GAAP revenue recognition standard, which we adopted on April 1, 2018, we are required to recognize revenue when control of the product changes from us to a customer or distributor. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating demand for our products in the end markets we serve and not on moving inventory
into our distribution network. Therefore, the elements of our internal performance and executive and employee compensation metrics that are based on sales and operating results are measured using the value of the end-market demand for our products. We use end-market demand for these purposes because we do not believe that the underlying value of our business benefits from increases in the value of inventory that is held in the supply chain. As many of our products are designed into customer applications with relatively long lives, such value is only realized when the end-market demand is created, and the supply chain sells the inventory to the end customer. We define end-market demand as the net dollar amount of our products, licensing revenue, and other services delivered to our direct (non-distributor) customers and by our distributors to their customers. We are able to calculate end-market demand based on information that our distributors provide us about their product shipments to their customers and inventory holdings. The value of end-market demand from our distributors is calculated as the net transaction value of these shipments. We believe that our end-market demand metric reflects true end-market demand based on when product is sold to direct customers or by our distributors to an end customer. We believe the use of end-market demand is also important to investors and users of our financial statements as it reflects the final outcome of our sales activities, whereas our GAAP net sales are based on estimates made earlier in (or before the end of) the process of creating and fulfilling demand is complete. We also manage our manufacturing and supply chain operations, including our distributor relationships, towards the goal of having our products available at the time and location the end customer desires. Management uses end-market demand to manage and assess the profitability of our business and when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose end-market demand metric because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it provides better information regarding end-market demand for our products. Therefore, we believe that it is useful to investors for us to disclose end-market demand. Our determination of end-market demand metric might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Our non-GAAP adjustments, where applicable, include the effect of share-based compensation, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance, and other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses associated with acquisitions including legal fees and expenses for litigation and investigations related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, IT security remediation costs, non-cash interest expense on our convertible debentures, and losses on the settlement of debt. For the second quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
We are required to estimate the cost of certain forms of share-based compensation, including employee stock options, restricted stock units, and our employee stock purchase plan, and to record a commensurate expense in our income statement. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is affected by the price of our stock at the date of grant. The price of our stock is affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management. Our other non-GAAP adjustments are either non-cash expenses, unusual or infrequent items, or other expenses related to transactions. Management excludes all of these items from its internal operating forecasts and models.
We are using non-GAAP operating expenses in dollars, including non-GAAP research and development expenses and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other expense, net, and non-GAAP income tax rate, which exclude the items noted above, as applicable, to permit additional analysis of our performance.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they enhance the understanding of our historical financial performance and comparability between periods. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose this non-GAAP information because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and other charges that many investors feel may obscure our underlying operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business and for compensation purposes. We also use our non-GAAP results when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Our determination of these non-GAAP measures might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it should not be construed as a substitute for amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with using these non-GAAP measures, including that they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Management compensates for this by presenting information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for investors and providing reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP results.
Generally, gross margin fluctuates over time, driven primarily by the mix of products sold and licensing revenue; variances in manufacturing yields; fixed cost absorption; wafer fab loading levels; costs of wafers from foundries; inventory reserves; pricing pressures in our non-proprietary product lines; and competitive and economic conditions. Operating expenses fluctuate over time, primarily due to net sales and profit levels.
Diluted Common Shares Outstanding can vary for, among other things, the trading price of our common stock, the exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock units, the potential for incremental dilutive shares from our convertible debentures (additional information regarding our share count is available in the investor relations section of our website under the heading "Supplemental Financial Information"), and repurchases or issuances of shares of our common stock. The diluted common shares outstanding presented in the guidance table above assumes an average Microchip stock price in the December 2021 quarter between $75 and $83 per share (however, we make no prediction as to what our actual share price will be for such period or any other period and we cannot estimate what our stock option exercise activity will be during the quarter).

Cautionary Statement:
The statements in this release relating to ongoing manufacturing capacity constraints, plans to update our long-term business model, our unsupported backlog continuing to climb and our lead times stretching out, continuing the path we initiated in February 2021 to commence larger increases in our quarterly dividends, expecting to continue to increase dividends as part of our cash return strategy, actively managing the working capital requirements for the business, our belief that these convertible debt exchanges will benefit stockholders by significantly reducing share count dilution to the extent our stock price appreciates over time, remaining focused on enhancing our capital structure as we continue on our path to becoming an investment grade rated company, backlog requested by customers in the December quarter that currently cannot be fulfilled until later quarters despite us growing capacity from last quarter, expecting our net sales in the December quarter to be up between 4% and 8% sequentially, that at the mid-point of our guidance for the December quarter, net sales will be 29.3% higher than the year ago quarter, our third quarter fiscal 2022 guidance for net sales and GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, other expense, net, income tax provision, net income, diluted common shares outstanding, earnings per diluted share, expected inventory days in the December 2021 quarter, capital expenditures for the December 2021 quarter and for all of fiscal 2022, continuing to add capital equipment to maintain, grow and operate our internal manufacturing capabilities to support the expected growth of our business, our belief that our end-market demand metric reflects true end-market demand based on when product is sold to direct customers or by our distributors to an end customer and our assumed average stock price in the December 2021 quarter are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to: any continued economic uncertainty due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken or which may be taken by the Biden administration or the U.S. Congress, monetary policy, political,
geopolitical, trade or other issues in the U.S. or internationally, any further unexpected fluctuations or weakness in the U.S. and global economies (including China), changes in demand or market acceptance of our products and the products of our customers and our ability to meet any continued increases in market demand; the impact of current and future changes in U.S. corporate tax laws (including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017), foreign currency effects on our business; the mix of inventory we hold and our ability to satisfy short-term orders from our inventory; changes in utilization of our manufacturing capacity and our ability to effectively manage and expand our production levels to meet any continued increases in market demand; competitive developments including pricing pressures; the level of orders that are received and can be shipped in a quarter; changes or fluctuations in customer order patterns and seasonality; our ability to obtain a sufficient supply of wafers from third party wafer foundries to meet our increasing needs and the cost of such wafers, our ability to obtain additional capacity from our suppliers to increase production to meet any continued increases in market demand; our ability to realize the expected benefits of our preferred supply program; our ability to successfully integrate the operations and employees, retain key employees and customers and otherwise realize the expected synergies and benefits of our acquisitions; the impact of any future significant acquisitions that we may make; the costs and outcome of any current or future litigation or other matters involving our Microsemi acquisition, the Microsemi business, intellectual property, customers, or other issues; the costs and outcome of any current or future tax audit or investigation regarding our business or the business of Microsemi, our actual average stock price in the December quarter and the impact such price will have on our share count; fluctuations in our stock price and trading volume which could impact the number of shares we acquire under our share repurchase program and the timing of such repurchases; disruptions in our business or the businesses of our customers or suppliers due to natural disasters (including any floods in Thailand), terrorist activity, armed conflict, war, worldwide oil prices and supply, public health concerns (including the COVID-19 pandemic) or disruptions in the transportation system; and general economic, industry or political conditions in the United States or internationally.
