Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to fairly state the results for these interim periods and should be read in conjunction with Analog Devices, Inc.’s (the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012 and related notes. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 2, 2013 or any future period.

Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2013 presentation. Such reclassified amounts are immaterial. The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year that ends on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal 2013 is a 52-week fiscal year and fiscal 2012 was a 53-week fiscal year. The additional week in fiscal 2012 was included in the first quarter ended February 4, 2012. Therefore, the first six months of fiscal 2012 included an additional week of operations as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013.
