The year-over-year upside was driven by higher net sales, which increased 24.7% from the year-ago quarter to $1.213 billion on a GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis revenues came in at $1.216 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.208 billion.
Quarter Details
In terms of product line, microcontroller business (60% of net sales) increased 10.8% sequentially to $728.6 million. Analog net sales came in at $328.5 million (accounted for 27% of the total revenues) and increased 35% sequentially. Memory, FPGA, Licensing and MMO contributed 4%, 3%, 2% and 4% of total revenues, respectively.
Microchip recently introduced new 32-bit SAM L10 and SAM L11 microcontrollers (MCUs) families based on Arm Cortex-M23 core. With the new products, the company intends to enhance security of Internet of Things (“IoT”) endpoints.
Microchip also announced dsPIC33CH Digital Signal Controller (“DSC”) family, featuring two dsPIC DSC cores on a single chip. The new DSC enables the software developers to integrate code from multiple design teams.
Further, Microchip is now focusing on improving driving experience to strengthen its position in producing autonomous vehicle controllers. Toward this purpose, the company recently launched the world’s first-ever three-dimensional (3D) automotive-qualified MGC3140 controllers to enhance the in-car capability of the drivers.
The MGC3140 is supported by Microchip’s new Electromagnetic Compatibility (“EMC”) resistance and is a versatile companion chip to advance multi-touch performance.
Microchip's MGC3140 features high adaptability and can be used in diverse products such as navigating infotainment systems, sun shade operation, interior lighting and other industrial controls. With such innovative and proprietary products, the company continues to capitalize on its business potential.
The company also completed the acquisition of Microsemi for $10.3 billion. The deal worth $10.15 billion in total enterprise value was announced on Mar 1, 2018. The deal is anticipated to be immediately accretive for Microchip’s earnings on a non-GAAP basis.
Microchip is well poised to capitalize on Microsemi’s growth catalysts. Apart from a robust portfolio, the buyout is likely to expand Microchip’s total addressable markets. Strong demand for Microsemi’s solutions in Data Center, Communications, Defense & Aerospace markets make us optimistic about Microchip’s long-term growth prospects.
Geographically, revenues from Americas, Europe and Asia contributed 22%, 23% and 55% of total revenues, respectively.
Microchip posted non-GAAP gross margin of 62.2%, which expanded 180 basis points (bps) on a year-over-year basis.
Non-GAAP operating expenses, as percentage of revenues, were up 40 bps year over year to 23.3%. The increase was primarily due to higher research & development (R&D) expenses and selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses.
Non-GAAP operating margin advanced 140 bps from the year-ago quarter to 38.9%.
