 | Nov 07, 2018 10:54PM ET

Microchip Technology Incorporated (NASDAQ:MCHP) delivered second-quarter fiscal 2019 non-GAAP earnings of $1.81 per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7 cents. The figure was near the higher end of management’s guided range of $1.65 to $1.83 per share and surged 28.4% from the year-ago quarter.

The year-over-year upside was driven by higher net sales, which increased 49.5% from the year-ago quarter to $1.513 billion on a non-GAAP basis. Both the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues and the mid-point of management’s guided range ($1.474-$1.550 billion) was pegged at $1.512 billion.

Quarter in Detail

In terms of product line, microcontroller business (54.2% of non-GAAP net sales) increased 12.6% sequentially to $820.1 million. Analog net sales came in at $328.5 million (29%) and surged 33.6% sequentially. Synergies from Microsemi buyout aided growth across both the domains.

We believe Microchip is well poised to capitalize on Microsemi’s growth catalysts. Apart from a robust portfolio, the buyout is likely to expand Microchip’s total addressable markets. Strong demand for Microsemi’s solutions in Data Center, Communications, Defense & Aerospace markets is likely to aid Microchip’s long-term growth prospects.

FPGA revenues (6%) came in at $91.3 million. Robust adoption of company’s low power PolarFire solutions was noteworthy.

Licensing segment (2.5%) reported non-GAAP revenues of $37.1 million which increased 40.3% sequentially, primarily owing to a patent license sale and strength in royalty revenues.

Memory business (3%) declined 3.8% sequentially to $47.3 million.

MMO or multi-market and other business unit revenues (5.2%) surged 90.7% from the previous quarter, primarily due to Microsemi contribution.

Geographically, revenues from Americas, Europe and Asia contributed 25.1%, 22.5% and 52.4% of total revenues, respectively.
