INTEGRATED DEVICE TECHNOLOGY INC - 10-Q - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking.


Forward-looking statements, which are generally identified by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "plans," "intends," "seeks," "targets," "believes," "can," "may," "might," "could," "should," "would," "will" and similar terms, include statements related to, among others, revenues and gross profit, research and development activities, selling, general and administrative expenses, restructuring costs, intangible expenses, interest income and other, taxes, capital spending and financing transactions, as well as statements regarding successful development and market acceptance of new products, industry and overall economic conditions and demand, and capacity utilization.

Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: global business and economic conditions; operating results; new product introductions and sales; competitive conditions; capital expenditures and resources; manufacturing capacity utilization; customer demand and inventory levels; product performance; intellectual property matters; mergers and acquisitions and integration activities; and the risk factors set forth in Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" to this Report on Form 10-Q. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ significantly from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise these statements for future events or new information after the date of this Report on Form 10-Q.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in this report and the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 1, 2012 filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Policies Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of such statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that we consider to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual future results may vary from our estimates and assumptions.

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2012. We believe that these accounting policies are "critical," as defined by the SEC, in that they are both highly important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require difficult management judgments, estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the six months ended September 30, 2012 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2012.

Recent developments Acquisition of NXP B.V's Data Converter Business On July 19, 2012, we completed an acquisition of certain assets related to technology and products developed for communications analog mixed-signal market applications from NXP B.V. We believe that this acquisition will enhance our efforts to increase silicon content in wireless infrastructure markets. We believe that with this acquisition we can offer our customers a one-stop shop for wireless base stations, including radio frequency (RF) components, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), Serial RapidIO® switches and bridges, high-performance timing devices, data compression IP, and power management ICs and it will help us increase our dollar content in the base station by offering all the key components in the signal chain. We acquired the communications analog mixed-signal assets for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $31.2 million, less a $4.0 million credit from NXP B.V for certain accrued liabilities assumed by us from NXP B.V, resulting in a net aggregate purchase price of $27.2 million. We assumed certain assets and specified liabilities and recorded amortizable intangible assets of $12.5 million and goodwill of $13.7 million. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred approximately $1.8 million and $3.9 million in acquisition related costs, respectively, which were included in SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquisition of Fox Enterprises, Inc.

On April 30, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Fox Enterprises, Inc. (Fox), a leading supplier of frequency control products including crystals and crystal oscillators, for total compensation of approximately $28.9 million, which included $25.7 million in cash paid at closing and $3.2 million in fair value of contingent cash consideration of up to $4.0 million based upon the achievement of future financial milestones. We believe that the combination of Fox's product portfolio with our award-winning CrystalFree™ oscillators makes us the industry's most comprehensive one-stop shop for frequency control products.

In addition, we expect that this acquisition will help accelerate the adoption of CrystalFree™ by enabling customers to purchase pMEMS and CMOS solid-state oscillators alongside traditional quartz-based components through an established and trusted sales channel. As a result of this acquisition we recorded amortizable intangible assets of $12.3 million and goodwill of $16.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. In addition, we recorded approximately $0.2 million in acquisition related costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, which were included in SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquisition of Alvand Technologies, Inc.

On April 16, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Alvand Technologies Inc., a leading analog integrated circuits company specializing in data converters, for total compensation of approximately $23.3 million, which included $20.5 million in cash was paid at closing and $2.8 million in fair value of contingent cash consideration of up to $4.0 million based upon the achievement of future product development milestones. We believe that Alvand Technologies provides critical IP needed for our next-generation roadmap. As a result of this acquisition we recorded amortizable intangible assets of $3.8 million and goodwill of $19.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

In addition, we recorded approximately $0.1 million in acquisition related costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, which were included in SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Proposed Acquisition of PLX Technology On April 30, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with PLX Technology, Inc (PLX). The Merger Agreement provides that subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will commence an exchange offer (the Offer) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of PLX common stock, $0.001 par value, in exchange for consideration, per Share, comprised of (i) $3.50 in cash plus (ii) 0.525 of a share of IDT common stock, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, and upon the consummation of the offer and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, PLX will merge with and into Pinewood Acquisition Corp, our wholly-owned subsidiary (the Merger). We expect the proposed acquisition to expand our core serial switching and interface business.

We believe that we and PLX have complementary product sets, technologies and customer bases.

On May 22, 2012, we commenced the exchange offer to purchase the outstanding shares of PLX common stock. The exchange offer was scheduled to expire at the end of the day on July 12, 2012. On July 11, 2012, we extended the expiration date of our exchange offer for all outstanding shares of common stock of PLX since the applicable waiting period for regulatory review has not yet been expired or been terminated and the exchange offer was set to expire at the end of the day on August 9, 2012. The expiration date was further extended and the exchange offer is now set to expire at the end of the day November 9, 2012 unless further extended.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred approximately $3.1 million and $7.2 million in acquisition related costs, respectively, which were included in SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

28-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Discontinued operations and assets held for sale In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we completed the transfer of certain assets related to IDT's Hollywood Quality Video (HQV) and Frame Rate Conversion (FRC) video processing product lines to Qualcomm pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement and had classified the remaining video business as held for sale.

On August 1, 2012, the we completed the transfer of the remaining assets of our video business to Synaptics for $5 million in cash pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the divestiture, 47 employees were transferred to Synaptics. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a gain of $0.9 million related to this divestiture. Prior to second quarter of fiscal 2012, the video business were previously included as part of our Computing and Consumer reportable segment. For financial statement purposes, the results of operations for these discontinued businesses have been presented in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, the following discussion pertains only to our continuing operations.

Overview The following table and discussion provides an overview of our operating results from continuing operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and October 2, 2011: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, October 2, September 30, October 2, (in thousands, except for percentage) 2012 2011 2012 2011 Revenues $ 133,401 $ 138,318 $ 263,562 $ 287,603 Gross profit $ 74,627 $ 73,633 $ 147,140 $ 153,069 As a % of revenues 56 % 53 % 56 % 53 % Operating income (loss) $ (510 ) $ 9,561 $ (5,953 ) $ 23,253 As a % of revenues - % 7 % (2 )% 8 % Net income (loss) from continuing operations $ (683 ) $ 8,100 $ (140 ) $ 20,869 As a % of revenues (1 )% 6 % - % 7 % Net loss from continuing operations was $0.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to net income of $8.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net loss from continuing operations was $0.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013 as compared to net income of $20.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2012. This decrease in net income in both the periods was primarily due to lower revenues and higher operating expenses which were partially offset by improved gross margin. Income tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was higher than income tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to higher U.S. income related to the purchase of Alvand intellectual property. Overall operating expenses were higher in the three and six months period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three and six months period ended October 2, 2011 due to higher research and development and sales and administrative costs combined with additional expenses resulting from Fox Enterprise, Alvand and NXP B.V's data converter business acquisitions. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded $2.2 million of severance cost for reduction in workforce.

An increase in revenue of $5.4 million resulting from Fox enterprise acquisition was partially offset by a decrease in revenue for most products within this market segment as the demand for these products declined in-line with market conditions, with the exception of revenues from our flow control management products which increased approximately 36% as compared to the prior year as we continued to experience growth in demand for our Rapid I/O switching solutions products.

Revenues in our Communications segment decreased $4.2 million, or 3% to $132.4 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the six months ended October 2, 2011, as a result of reduced customer demand for products in this segment. In general, demand for most products within this market segment declined in-line with market conditions, with the exception of revenues from our flow control management products which increased approximately 30% as compared to the prior year as we continued to experience growth in demand for our Rapid I/O switching solutions products. The decrease in revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was also partially offset by $9.4 million of additional revenue resulting from the acquisition of Fox Enterprises in the first six months of fiscal 2013.

Computing and Consumer Segment Revenues in our Computing and Consumer segment decreased $7.6 million, or 11% to $64.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended October 2, 2011, as a result of reduced demand. In general, demand for most products within this market segment declined in-line with market conditions except for a 14% increase in revenues from our Memory interface products.

Revenues in our Computing and Consumer segment decreased $19.9 million, or 13% to $131.2 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the six months ended October 2, 2011, as a result of reduced demand. Demand for most products within this market segment declined in-line with market conditions.

Revenues by Region Revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 decreased primarily in APAC (Asia Pacific region excluding Japan) and Europe as compared to the quarter ended October 2, 2011. Revenues in APAC, Americas, Japan and Europe accounted for 65%, 15%, 8% and 12%, respectively, of consolidated revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 66%, 13%, 9% and 12%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues in the quarter ended October 2, 2011. The Asia Pacific region continues to be our strongest region, as many of our largest customers utilize manufacturers in that region.

For the six months ended September 30, 2012, revenue decreased primarily in APAC (excluding Japan) and Europe as compared to the six months ended October 2, 2011. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, revenues in APAC region, Americas, 30-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Japan and Europe accounted for 66%, 15%, 8% and 11%, respectively, of consolidated revenues as compared to 67%, 13%, 8% and 12%, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2012.

Restructuring Charges In connection with our plans to fully divest our remaining video processing product lines, during fiscal 2012, we recorded $3.6 million in restructuring expenses for employee retention costs. During the first and second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded an additional $0.8 million and $0.2 million for employee retention costs under this plan, respectively. These costs have been classified within discontinued operations. We paid $4.6 million in retention bonuses in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and completed this restructuring action.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded restructuring charges of $2.2 million for reduction in workforce. We reduced our headcount by approximately 51 employees with reductions affecting all functional areas and various locations. As of September 30, 2012, the total accrued balance for employee severance costs related to this restructuring action was $1.4 million.

We expect to complete this restructuring action in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we paid $1.0 million in employee retention costs and completed the restructuring plan to exit wafer production operations at our Oregon fabrication facility.

During the six months ended September 30, 2012, we made lease payments of $0.1 million in connection with the exited facilities in Singapore and Salinas, California.

Interest Income and Other, Net The components of interest income and other, net are summarized as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands) September 30, 2012 October 2, 2011 September 30, 2012 October 2, 2011 Interest income $ 117 $ 50 $ 203 $ 116 Interest expense (418 ) (482 ) (814 ) (537 ) Other income (expense), net 95 (1,396 ) 2,405 (1,363 ) Interest income and other, net $ (206 ) $ (1,828 ) $ 1,794 $ (1,784 ) Interest income is derived from earnings on our cash and short term investments.

Interest expense is primarily due to charges associated with the credit facility with Bank of America which was established in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of gains or losses in the value of deferred compensation plan assets, foreign currency gains or 32-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents losses and other non-operating gains or losses. Increase in other income of $3.8 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily attributable to a $2.0 million death benefit proceeds received in fiscal 2013 under life insurance policies purchased with the intention of funding deferred compensation plan liabilities combined with $1.4 million in losses on deferred compensation plan assets for the comparable period in fiscal 2012.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) We recorded an immaterial amount of income tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and an income tax benefit of $4.0 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012 . The income tax benefit was primarily due to the recognition of a deferred tax asset offset by the recognition of a deferred tax liability due to the acquisition of Fox Enterprises. The increase in the deferred tax liability was a part of the purchase accounting step-up adjustment that was recorded against goodwill while the increase in the deferred tax asset was recorded as a tax benefit. We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million and an income tax provision of $0.6 million in the three and six months ended October 2, 2011, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended October 2, 2011 reflects tax on foreign earnings and federal and state tax on U.S. earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $268.8 million at September 30, 2012, a decrease of $56.7 million compared to April 1, 2012. We also have a credit facility with Bank of America under which we can sell preferred shares of our wholly owned subsidiary to the bank for up to $135 million in cash prior to December 13, 2012, but to the extent we sell any such shares, we are obligated to repurchase it from the bank prior to June 13, 2016 and $143.1 million in cash held by the wholly owned subsidiary will become subject to certain restrictions. We have a commitment for a revolving credit facility agreement with JP Morgan Chase with an initial aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. This commitment was entered into with the intention of funding the proposed PLX acquisition.

We had no outstanding debt at September 30, 2012 and April 1, 2012.

Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended September 30, 2012, was primarily due to proceeds of approximately $6.1 million from the exercise of employee stock options and the issuance of stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

In the six months ended October 2, 2011, cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of repurchases of approximately $47.5 million of IDT common stock, partially offset by proceeds of approximately $7.7 million from the exercise of employee stock options and the issuance of stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

We anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $25 million to $30 million during fiscal 2013 to be financed through cash generated from operations and existing cash and investments.

In addition, as much of our revenues are generated outside the U.S., a significant portion of our cash and investment portfolio accumulates in the foreign countries in which we operate. At September 30, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of approximately $238.6 million invested overseas in accounts belonging to various IDT foreign operating entities. While these amounts are primarily invested in U.S. dollars, a portion is held in foreign currencies, and all offshore balances are exposed to local political, banking, currency control and other risks. In addition, these amounts may be subject to tax and other transfer restrictions.

As discussed above, on April 30, 2012 we entered in an agreement with PLX Technology, Inc to purchase all outstanding shares of PLX Technology for approximately $330 million which we expect to fund with cash and common stock.

We believe that existing cash and investment balances, together with cash flows from operations and credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs through at least fiscal 2013. We may choose to investigate other financing alternatives; however, we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of September 30, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4)(ii).
