GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman, Nov. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- O2Micro(R) International Limited (Nasdaq:OIIM) reported its financial results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Financial Results for the Third Quarter ending 9/30/2009:
O2Micro(R) International reported Q3 2009 GAAP revenue of $36.7 million. Q3 revenue increased by 6.0% from Q2 2009 and decreased by 3.0% from Q3 2008. The sequential increase was a function of seasonal demand for core power management products.
The GAAP gross margin was 60.6% in the third quarter of 2009. The gross margin compares favorably to both the second quarter and the year-ago period when the company recorded gross margins of 58.8% and 59.3%, respectively.
During Q3, the company recorded $21.9 million in GAAP operating expenses. This was up from $20.5 million in Q2 2009 and $21.7 million in Q3 2008. The SG&A expense was $13.4 million of the total operating expenses and increased from $12.5 million in Q2 and $8.9 million in the year-ago period. R&D expense was $8.5 million of total operating expenses in the third quarter, compared to $8.0 million in Q2 and $9.8 million in the comparable year-ago period. During the third quarter of 2008, the company also expensed $2.9 million for a one-time write-off of prepaid foundry services where there was no comparable expense in Q2 or Q3 2009.
GAAP income from operations was $352,000 in the third quarter of 2009. This compares with a GAAP loss from operations of $109,000 in the second quarter and GAAP income from operations of $719,000 in the year-ago period. This represents 1.0% of revenue in the recent quarter and (0.3%) and 1.9% in Q2 2009 and Q3 2008, respectively.
GAAP Net Income was $267,000 in Q3 2009. This compares favorably to GAAP Net Losses of $505,000 in Q2 and $12.6 million in Q3 2008. GAAP Net Income per fully diluted ADS was $0.01 in Q3 2009. This reverses losses per ADS of $0.01 and $0.34 in Q2 and the year-ago period, respectfully.
