Management
Thanks Dave, and thanks again everyone for joining us today. Revenue for the quarter was 173 million versus guidance of 168 million and 201.7 million a year ago. Gross profit was 69.2 million or 40% of revenue. Our ability to maintain gross margin level in the 40% range despite the decrease in revenue, is being driven by the flexibility of our fab-lite model, enabling us to maintain high levels of utilization, improved equipment efficiencies at all of our factories, progress on yield improvement initiatives, double-digit year-over-year material cost reductions, and continued migration to a richer product mix. Operating expenses were 47.9 million, of which R&D was 27.4 million and SG&A was 20.5 million, yielding 21.2 million of operating income. Our net interest and other expense for the quarter was 800,000 of expense, while taxes were 400,000. As a result net income was 20 million or $0.12 of diluted earnings per share. Turning to the balance sheet; we exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of 268 million. Of note, we generated 22 million in cash flow from operations, recorded 12 million of depreciation and invested six million in capital expenditures. At a higher level, we continue to focus on strengthening our balance sheet, translating improving business performance into a higher cash balance. To that end, over the past year we've increased our cash balance from 228 million at the end of Q2 fiscal 2008, to 268 million at the end of Q2 fiscal 2009, while simultaneously reducing our convertible debt from 200 million last year to 97 million today. That's an increase in our net cash position of 143 million. As we have discussed over the past several quarters, balance sheet strength is increasingly a key competitive advantage in winning business, particularly, in this challenging economic environment. Customers and suppliers alike are seeking partners who not only proving innovative solutions, but are also financially are well positioned to support their long term, road maps. This is yet another area where we believe Skyworks is distinguishing itself. Now to our business outlook for the third fiscal quarter of 2009. Although we remain cautious on the macro-economy, we intend to resume top and bottom-line growth in the current quarter through share gains and broader participation in new markets. Specifically, we are guiding June quarterly revenue to be up 5% sequentially to 182 million. Operationally, we expect gross margin to expand to between 40 and 40.5% and project operating expenses of approximately 49 million. Below the line, we anticipate 800,000 in expense for net interest and other expense, and taxes at a 3% cash rate, driving $0.14 of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, a 15% sequential improvement in profitability off a base of 168 million shares. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, let's open the lines for questions.
