SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 26, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc.

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $21.9 million, an increase of 32% over net revenue of $16.5 million for the first quarter of 2009 and a sequential increase of 5% from net revenue of $20.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $4.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009, and GAAP net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expense, net of taxes, net loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $2.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net loss of $3.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2009 and non-GAAP net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2009 excluded stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and other severance expense, net of taxes. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 excluded stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangibles, net of taxes.

AnalogicTech reported gross margins of 48.4% for the first quarter of 2010, compared to 44.9% for the first quarter of 2009 and 47.6% for the fourth quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP gross margin was 48.7% for the first quarter of 2010, compared to 45.6% for the first quarter of 2009 and 48.1% for the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company ended the quarter with $98.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

"Our first quarter results were in line with expectations and reflected better than normal seasonality," stated Richard K. Williams, President, CEO and CTO of AnalogicTech. "We experienced broad based demand for our products across geographies, and we were particularly pleased to see continued strong sales into Taiwan which increased by more than 30% sequentially. As planned, we remained focused on product development with the impressive release of 25 new products during the quarter. We continued to make headway with our product diversification strategy and TV and notebook design activities. We are effectively managing our manufacturing capacity through our multi sourcing strategy, and we remain focused on maintaining our solid balance sheet and closely monitoring inventories and receivables."

Business Outlook

The following statements are based upon management's current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. AnalogicTech undertakes no obligation to update these statements.

For the second quarter ending June 30, 2010, AnalogicTech estimates revenue in the range of $22 million to $24 million, and net loss in the range of $0.11 to $0.09 per diluted share on a GAAP basis. The second quarter 2010 estimates include pre-tax quarterly stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.4 million.

Non-GAAP Reporting

In addition to GAAP reporting, AnalogicTech reports net income (loss), gross margin and earnings (loss) per share on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP earnings information excludes certain items and their tax-related effects. AnalogicTech believes this non-GAAP earnings information provides meaningful insight into the Company's ongoing operational performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors as an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. AnalogicTech also uses this information internally to evaluate and manage company operations and to determine incentive compensation. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss), gross margin and earnings (loss) per share is included in the tables below.

The non-GAAP information included in this press release is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information of other companies. Non-GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP as measures of our profitability or liquidity. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made.
