Second quarter revenue of $134.0 million was up 3.7% sequentially and 1.2% year-over-year.

Company Highlights

• Both Consumer and Computing (C&C) and Industrial and Infrastructure (I&I) revenue were up year-over-year.
• I&I demand improved broadly, resulting in 7.8% sequential growth.
• Gross margin increased sequentially again to 59.4% on a GAAP basis and 59.6% on a non-GAAP basis.
• Planned closure of a portion of the company's manufacturing operations resulted in restructuring charges of $13.5 million, lowering GAAP operating margin and reducing GAAP earnings per share to $0.01.

Quarterly Results
Revenue for the second quarter improved sequentially due to strength in the company's I&I products. Aerospace revenue achieved a recent record, while automotive revenue was near record levels in the quarter. Both I&I power and industrial analog were up again sequentially as a result of improving end market demand. Second quarter C&C revenue decreased 3.6% sequentially due to expected weakness in consumer demand, but was up 2% year-over-year.

"With year-over-year growth in both of our key businesses, we're encouraged with the progress in returning Intersil to a sustained growth path," said Necip Sayiner, president and CEO of Intersil. "An improving cost structure and strong gross margins are providing for good earnings leverage as we move closer to our long-term target operating model."
