Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q4 and FY2024 results reveal significant headwinds for ADI, with annual revenue declining 23% to $9.4 billion. Despite this substantial drop, the company maintained impressive adjusted operating margins of 41.1% in Q4. Key metrics show resilience:

• Strong cash generation with $3.9 billion operating cash flow
• Robust shareholder returns totaling $2.4 billion
• Q4 revenue of $2.4 billion exceeded guidance midpoint

The Q1 FY2025 guidance of $2.35 billion ±$100 million suggests continued pressure, but improving order trends in Automotive sector and maintained high margins indicate operational strength. The company's ability to maintain 40%+ adjusted operating margins during a significant downturn demonstrates strong cost management and pricing power.

Semiconductor Industry Analyst

This earnings report reflects the broader semiconductor industry inventory correction cycle. The 23% revenue decline aligns with industry-wide destocking trends, but ADI's sequential growth across all end markets in Q4 signals potential stabilization. The uptick in Automotive bookings is particularly noteworthy, as this sector typically leads semiconductor recovery cycles. The maintained high margins despite revenue pressure demonstrates ADI's strong market position in high-value analog semiconductors. The continued investment in engineering and manufacturing during the downturn positions ADI well for the eventual upturn, though macro uncertainty remains a near-term headwind.

• Fourth quarter revenue of more than $2.4 billion, above the midpoint of guidance with sequential growth across all end markets
• Fiscal 2024 revenue of more than $9.4 billion
• Fiscal 2024 operating cash flow of $3.9 billion and free cash flow of $3.1 billion
• Returned more than $2.4 billion to shareholders in fiscal 2024, including $0.6 billion of share repurchases and $1.8 billion of dividends

WILMINGTON, Mass., Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI), a global semiconductor leader, today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024, which ended November 2, 2024.

"ADI's revenue, profitability, and earnings per share all finished above our guided midpoint, underscoring continued business momentum and solid execution," said Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair.  "While unprecedented customer inventory headwinds drove a historic revenue decline during fiscal 2024, we maintained operating margins north of 40%, which is a testament to our business model's resilience. We also continued to make strategic, long-term investments across engineering, manufacturing, and the end-to-end customer experience. As such, we enter 2025 as an even stronger enterprise, giving me the utmost confidence in our ability to drive increased value for customers and shareholders over the long term."

"After a brief decline in overall bookings during our third quarter, orders picked up steadily throughout the fourth quarter, particularly in the Automotive end market. While macro uncertainty continues to limit the pace of our recovery, we remain cautiously optimistic for a strong growth year in fiscal 2025," said Richard Puccio, CFO.

Our first quarter fiscal 2025 outlook is based on current expectations and actual results may differ materially as a result of, among other things, the important factors discussed at the end of this release. These statements supersede all prior statements regarding our business outlook set forth in prior ADI news releases, and ADI disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

The adjusted results and adjusted anticipated results above are financial measures presented on a non-GAAP basis. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables included in this release. See also the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" section for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This release includes non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These non-GAAP measures have material limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's use of non-GAAP measures, and the underlying methodology when including or excluding certain items, is not necessarily an indication of the results of operations that may be expected in the future, or that the Company will not, in fact, record such items in future periods. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables included in this release.

Management uses non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company's operating performance from continuing operations against past periods and to budget and allocate resources in future periods. These non-GAAP measures also assist management in evaluating the Company's core business and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures as primary performance measurements when communicating with analysts and investors regarding the Company's earnings results and outlook and believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because it provides investors with the operating results that management uses to manage the Company and enables investors and analysts to evaluate the Company's core business. Management also believes that free cash flow, a non-GAAP liquidity measure, is useful both internally and to investors because it provides information about the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures that is then available to repay debt obligations, make investments and fund acquisitions, and for certain other activities. 

The non-GAAP financial measures referenced by ADI in this release include: adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin percentage, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating expenses percentage, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted nonoperating expense (income), adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted tax rate, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), free cash flow, and free cash flow revenue percentage.

Adjusted gross margin is defined as gross margin, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding: certain acquisition related expenses¹, which are described further below. Adjusted gross margin percentage represents adjusted gross margin divided by revenue.

Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding: certain acquisition related expenses¹, acquisition related transaction costs², and special charges, net³, which are described further below. Adjusted operating expenses percentage represents adjusted operating expenses divided by revenue.

Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding: acquisition related expenses¹, acquisition related transaction costs², and special charges, net³, which are described further below. Adjusted operating margin represents adjusted operating income divided by revenue.

Adjusted nonoperating expense (income) is defined as nonoperating expense (income), determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding: certain acquisition related expenses¹, which is described further below.

Adjusted income before income taxes is defined as income before income taxes, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding: acquisition related expenses¹, acquisition related transaction costs², and special charges, net³, which are described further below.

Adjusted provision for income taxes is defined as provision for income taxes, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding tax related items⁴, which are described further below. Adjusted tax rate represents adjusted provision for income taxes divided by adjusted income before income taxes. 

Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as diluted EPS, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding: acquisition related expenses¹, acquisition related transaction costs², special charges, net³, and tax related items⁴, which are described further below. 

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, less additions to property, plant and equipment, net. Free cash flow revenue percentage represents free cash flow divided by revenue. 

¹Acquisition Related Expenses: Expenses incurred as a result of current and prior period acquisitions and primarily include expenses associated with the fair value adjustments to debt, inventory, property, plant and equipment and amortization of acquisition related intangibles, which include acquired intangibles such as purchased technology and customer relationships. Expenses also include fair value adjustments associated with the replacement of share-based awards related to the Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (Maxim) acquisition. We excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to specific transactions and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.

²Acquisition Related Transaction Costs: Costs directly related to the Maxim acquisition, including legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as integration-related costs. We excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.

³Special Charges, net: Expenses, net, incurred as part of the integration of Maxim, in connection with facility closures, consolidation of manufacturing facilities, severance, other accelerated stock-based compensation expense and other cost reduction efforts or reorganizational initiatives. We excluded these expenses from our non-GAAP measures because apart from ongoing expense savings as a result of such items, these expenses have no direct correlation to the operation of our business in the future.

⁴Tax Related Items: Income tax effect of the non-GAAP items discussed above, an income tax benefit from a discrete tax item related to a federal corporate income tax relief claim and certain other income tax benefits associated with prior periods. We excluded the income tax effect of these tax related items from our non-GAAP measures because they are not associated with the tax expense on our current operating results.

ANALOG DEVICES, INC. REVENUE TRENDS BY END MARKET (Unaudited) (In thousands)
The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a variety of data points including the technical characteristics of the product, the "sold to" customer information, the "ship to" customer information and the end customer product or application into which our product will be incorporated. As data systems for capturing and tracking this data and our methodology evolves and improves, the categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When this occurs, we reclassify revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.
