(NASDAQ:CRUS), a leader in high-precision analog, mixed-signal and embedded products for audio and industrial markets, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007, which ended March 31, 2007. The company reported fourth quarter fiscal year 2007 revenue of $43.6 million, compared with $42.2 million of total revenue during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Fourth quarter gross margin was 60.2 percent compared to 58.1 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Combined research and development (R&D) and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 were $25.8 million. R&D and SG&A expenses included $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense due to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) at the beginning of this fiscal year, as well as $1.6 million in expenses associated with the company's recently concluded stock-option review. R&D and SG&A expenses also included $1.0 million in facility-related charges, and a $0.4 million charge related to an executive termination agreement. Excluding these charges, combined non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses were $21.8 million. Fourth fiscal quarter net income was $7.3 million, or $0.08 per share based on 89.3 million diluted shares outstanding. These results include a $4.3 million impairment charge to our investment in Magnum Semiconductor, as well as a $0.5 million restructuring charge and an $8.2 million tax benefit. The non-GAAP net income for the quarter, excluding the items mentioned above, was $7.9 million or $0.09 per diluted share. Total cash and marketable securities at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter was $271.7 million, compared with $264.2 million at the end of the prior fiscal quarter, an increase of $7.5 million. "I'm pleased that our March quarter revenue came in at the high end of our expectations, with continued profitability highlighted by strong gross margins," said Mike Hackworth, Cirrus Logic's chairman and acting chief executive officer. "For the June quarter, we expect softer demand for legacy products as we transition to anticipated revenue growth for newer consumer products." Outlook for First Quarter FY 2008 (ending June 30, 2007): -- Revenue is expected to range between $40 million and $44 million; -- Gross margin is expected to be between 58 percent and 60 percent; and -- Combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses are expected to range between $23 million and $25 million, including share-based compensation expense of approximately $1.1 million.
