Business Outlook
Gary Yu further commented, “For the second quarter of 2024, we expect revenue to be approximately $316 million, plus or minus 3 percent, representing a 4.6% sequential increase at the mid-point and reflecting a return to typical seasonal growth. GAAP gross margin is expected to be 33.5 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, reflecting the lower mix of revenue from the automotive and industrial markets as the 3C markets recover. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which are GAAP operating expenses adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, are expected to be approximately 28.5 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect net interest income to be approximately $3.0 million. Our income tax rate is expected to be 18.5 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the second quarter are anticipated to be approximately 46.5 million.”
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $3.1 million, after tax, for previous acquisitions is not included in these non-GAAP estimates.
