Freescale Semiconductor Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results
Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd. announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
"Despite challenging macroeconomic environment conditions, Freescale continued to generate solid gross margins and overall profitability," said Rich Beyer, chairman and CEO. "Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we expect the weakness in the semiconductor market to continue to negatively impact our business."
Net sales for the third quarter of 2011 were $1.14 billion, compared to $1.22 billion in the second quarter of 2011 and $1.15 billion in the third quarter of 2010.
Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $110 million, compared to $31 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $1 million in the third quarter of 2010. Income from operations benefited from the partial settlement of an insurance claim the company made following the damage to its Sendai, Japan fabrication facility during the earthquake in March 2011. The benefit was partially offset by continuing charges associated with closing this facility. The net benefit for the third quarter was $20 million.
The net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $88 million, or $.36 per share, compared to a loss of $168 million, or $.79 per share, in the second quarter of 2011 and a loss of $156 million, or $.79 per share, in the same period last year. The net loss for the third quarter included charges of $55 million associated with debt extinguishment costs related primarily to the completion of the company’s initial public offering and the 8.05% Notes issuance in June 2011.

Adjusted operating earnings (defined in Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Information attached to this press release) for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $200 million compared to earnings of $216 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $158 million in the third quarter of 2010.
Adjusted net earnings (defined in Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Information attached to this press release) for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $72 million, or $.29 per share, compared to earnings of $70 million, or $.33 per share, in the second quarter of 2011 and $12 million or $.06 per share, in the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted net earnings per share in the third quarter of 2011 were impacted by a higher number of diluted shares outstanding related to the full effect of the initial public offering completed late in the second quarter of 2011.
Product Revenues
The company’s net sales figures for the third quarter of 2011 were as follows:
-- Microcontroller net sales were $395 million, compared to $430 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $418 million in the third quarter of 2010.
-- RF, Analog and Sensor net sales were $306 million, compared to $315 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $272 million in the third quarter of 2010.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
