SAN JOSE, CA.-- January 26, 2021 -- Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM) reported net revenue of $628 million for its second quarter of fiscal 2021 ended December 26, 2020, a 1% increase from the $619 million revenue recorded in the prior quarter, and a 14% increase from the same quarter of last year.

“Our strong performance in the December quarter relative to the same quarter last year benefitted from robust demand from automotive, industrial and consumer customers. Automotive and Industrial reached a record revenue level and comprised 63 percent of Maxim’s total revenue. In addition, progress toward closure of our merger with Analog Devices is on track,” said Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Fiscal Year 2021 Second Quarter Results

Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), diluted earnings per share in the December quarter was $0.68. The results were affected by $15 million in pre-tax special items which primarily consisted of $9 million in charges related to the upcoming combination with Analog Devices, $3 million in restructuring costs unrelated to the merger, and $7 million of expenses related to prior acquisitions, which were partially offset by $5 million of unrealized other income from private company investments. GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items was $0.73. An analysis of GAAP versus GAAP excluding special items is provided in this press release.

Cash Flow Items

At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $1.8 billion, up $194 million from the prior quarter. Notable items included:

• Cash flow from operations: $210 million
• Capital expenditures: $16 million

Trailing twelve months free cash flow was $733 million. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and is defined by cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.
