Linear reports sequential quarterly declines

Linear Technology reports sequential quarterly declines (fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2012), but modest YoY quarterly increases in revenues and net income and guides for sequential quarterly Improvement.

Quarterly revenues of $305.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 decreased $29.9 million or 8.9% from the previous quarter's revenue of $335.1 million and increased $10.9 million or 3.7% over $294.3 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Net income of $88.8 million decreased $16.3 million or 15.5% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and increased $0.9 million or 1% over the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Diluted earnings per share of $0.38 per share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 decreased $0.07 per share or 16% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and was flat compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. According to Lothar Maier, CEO: “As we reported at this time last quarter, we expected a difficult second fiscal quarter given the tough economic climate existing domestically and globally. Revenue declined 9% compared to the preceding quarter. This was within our guidance, though at the low end, as bookings continued to be weak throughout the first two months of the quarter. Though we were disappointed in the revenue decline, we are encouraged that we saw stronger bookings momentum exiting the quarter and this improvement has continued through the early stage of the current quarter. Innovation is prevalent in our end markets and our product positioning is strong. Based upon our current bookings rate, and assuming business confidence improves, we expect to resume moderate revenue growth. We currently estimate that fiscal third quarter revenues will grow in the range of 1% to 4% over the second quarter.”
