Ÿ
|
Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue increased due to the inclusion of Silicon Valley Analog revenue. High Volume Analog & Logic and Power Management were about even, while revenue from High Performance Analog declined.
|
Ÿ
|
Compared with the prior quarter, revenue increased due to the inclusion of Silicon Valley Analog revenue for all of the fourth quarter compared with only a few days in the third quarter. Revenue from High Performance Analog, Power Management and High Volume Analog & Logic declined.
|
Ÿ
|
Operating profit decreased from the year-ago quarter due to higher operating expenses and was even with the prior quarter. Operating expenses were higher in both comparisons due to the inclusion of a full quarter of Silicon Valley Analog results.
|
Ÿ
|
Compared with the year-ago and prior quarters, the decline in revenue was primarily due to lower revenue from products sold into communications infrastructure applications, as well as lower revenue from catalog products. Revenue from products sold into automotive applications increased from the year-ago quarter and was about even with the prior quarter.
|
Ÿ
|
Operating profit declined from the year-ago and prior quarters primarily due to lower gross profit.
|
Ÿ
|
Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue declined primarily due to baseband products. Revenue from connectivity products also declined to a much lesser extent. Revenue from OMAP applications processors doubled over this period.
|
Ÿ
|
Compared with the prior quarter, revenue increased primarily due to OMAP applications processors. Baseband and connectivity product revenue increased to a lesser extent.
|
Ÿ
|
Operating profit decreased from the year-ago quarter due to lower gross profit. Operating profit increased from the prior quarter due to higher gross profit. Gross profit in the quarter was negatively impacted by charges for baseband inventory.
|
Ÿ
|
Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue was down due to declines across all areas.
|
Ÿ
|
Compared with the prior quarter, revenue was down primarily due to the seasonal decline in calculator revenue and lower DLP revenue, as well as lower custom ASIC revenue.
|
Ÿ
|
Operating profit decreased from the year-ago and prior quarters primarily due to higher acquisition-related charges, a gain on the sale of a product line in the year-ago quarter and restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of 2011.
|
Ÿ
|
Orders were $2.86 billion, down 9 percent from the year-ago quarter and down 7 percent from the prior quarter.
|
Ÿ
|
Inventory was $1.79 billion at the end of the quarter, up $268 million from a year ago and down $177 million from the prior quarter. The increase from a year ago was primarily due to the company rebuilding inventory to support higher customer service levels with shorter lead times, as well as inventory associated with the acquisition of National Semiconductor. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to recognizing the fair value write-up of inventory acquired from National Semiconductor as it was sold, as well as lower production loadings and a charge for Wireless baseband inventory.
|
Ÿ
|
Capital expenditures were $152 million in the quarter compared with $301 million a year ago and $193 million in the prior quarter. Capital expenditures in the quarter were primarily for assembly/test and wafer manufacturing equipment.
|
Ÿ
|
The company used $300 million in the quarter to repurchase 10.4 million shares of its common stock and paid dividends of $193 million.
