Maxim Integrated Products has reported net revenue of $628 million for its second quarter of fiscal 2021 ended 26 December 2020. This represents a one per cent increase from the $619 million revenue recorded in the prior quarter, and a 14 per cent 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.
The company noted that its 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.
“Per the terms of the Merger Agreement between the Company and Analog Devices, we will not declare dividends that would have been paid in the upcoming months of March, June and September and have suspended our open market stock repurchase program,” read company’s official statement.
It continued, “Due to the pending merger with Analog Devices, Maxim Integrated will not be hosting a quarterly earnings conference call and has suspended the practice of providing forward-looking guidance. Investors are requested to review our Investor Relations website for the quarterly financial highlights and SEC filings for the latest updates on the pending transaction. “
