Dépèche transmise le 3 novembre 2011 par Business Wire

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--International Rectifier Corporation (NYSE:IRF) today announced financial results for the first quarter (ended September 25, 2011) of its fiscal year 2012.

“Sales during the September quarter were impacted by softening end market demand, inventory correction in our discrete MOSFET business, and seasonality in the automotive end market. Bright spots for the quarter included modest growth in high performance computing and in our high reliability products.”

International Rectifier reported net income of $22.0 million, or $0.31 per fully diluted share for the first quarter fiscal year 2012, compared with net income of $39.6 million, or $0.55 per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter fiscal year 2011.

For the first quarter fiscal year 2011, International Rectifier reported a net income of $33.5 million, or $0.47 per fully diluted share. The first quarter fiscal year 2011 results included a $3.8 million gross tax benefit that increased fully diluted earnings per share by $0.05.

President and Chief Executive Officer Oleg Khaykin stated: “Sales during the September quarter were impacted by softening end market demand, inventory correction in our discrete MOSFET business, and seasonality in the automotive end market. Bright spots for the quarter included modest growth in high performance computing and in our high reliability products.”

Gross margin for the first quarter fiscal year 2012 was 37.9%, up 0.7 percentage points compared with the fourth quarter fiscal year 2011 and down from 38.7% in the first quarter fiscal year 2011.

Operating income was $30.2 million or 10% of revenue compared with $30.6 million or 9.7% of revenue in the fourth quarter fiscal year 2011 and down from operating income of $31.6 million or 11.3% of revenue in the first quarter fiscal year 2011.

December Quarter Outlook

Oleg Khaykin noted: “We take a conservative outlook for the December quarter as we and our customers work to reduce inventories. As a result, we currently expect revenue to range from $240 million to $270 million. Gross margin is expected to range from 34% to 36%, mainly due to planned lower factory utilization.

“Despite the cyclical downturn in the industry, we remain focused on future growth. Design win activity remains strong in a number of our technologies, notably in high-voltage IC and IGBT products, digital power and in our low- and mid-voltage MOSFETs.”
