Silicon Labs Announces Record Revenue for Second Quarter 2021
Strong Execution in Supply-Constrained Market Delivers Record IoT Revenue
AUSTIN, Texas – July 28, 2021 – Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in secure, intelligent wireless technology for a more connected world, reported strong financial results for the second quarter, which ended July 3, 2021. Revenue exceeded the top of the guidance range at $278 million, and revenue from the Internet of Things business (IoT) ended at a record high of $169 million, up seven percent sequentially and 48 percent year-on-year. Second quarter GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.44 and $1.05, respectively.
“We continue to capitalize on the increased adoption, growth and diversity of the global IoT market,” said Silicon Labs CEO Tyson Tuttle. “Achieving another quarter of record revenue, robust bookings, and strong design wins amid a tight supply chain environment is a testament to our powerful development platform, performance-driven team, and purpose-oriented culture.”
Earlier in the week, Silicon Labs accomplished another major milestone, completing the divestiture of its Infrastructure and Automotive (I&A) businesses to Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS) for $2.75 billion in an all-cash transaction, the proceeds of which have been fully funded. Silicon Labs is now reporting revenue from the divested products as “discontinued operations” and from IoT as “continuing operations.”
