Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 29, 2013.
For the second quarter, revenue was $84.7 million, an increase of 19.0% from $71.2 million reported in the prior quarter, and an increase of 19.6% from the $70.8 million reported in the same quarter a year ago. FPGA revenue for the second quarter was $26.0 million, compared to $22.9 million in the prior quarter, and $24.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. PLD revenue for the second quarter was $58.7 million, compared to $48.3 million reported in the prior quarter, and $45.9 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Net income for the second quarter was $5.0 million ($0.04 per basic and diluted share), compared to the prior quarter net income of $1.9 million ($0.02 per basic and diluted share) and net loss of $12.5 million ($0.11 per basic and diluted share) reported in the same quarter a year ago. The second quarter of 2013 included tax expense of $1.9 and amortization expense from acquired intangibles of $0.7 million, compared with the first quarter of 2013 tax expense of $0.7 million, amortization expense from acquired intangibles of $0.7 million and restructuring charges of $0.2 million. Second quarter of 2012 results included approximately $1.0 million of acquisition related costs, $0.1 million of restructuring related charges, and $10.5 million income tax expense.
Darin G. Billerbeck, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We achieved the Company's highest quarterly revenue level in over a decade, while maintaining a healthy gross margin and doubling our net income per share compared to the prior quarter. Growth was driven by our consumer end market and increased new product category sales. The broader communications market in Asia continues to rebound, while computing and industrial are lagging. Overall, we are confident and encouraged by the successful execution of our business strategy, along with our customer and market diversification efforts."
Joe Bedewi, Corporate Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Gross margin for Q2 was 53.3%, which is above the high end of our guidance. We were able to achieve this quarterly improvement through effective supply chain management and ongoing cost controls, while continuing to support ramping customer products. Our operating expenses came in $600 thousand above our guidance of $37.5 million, primarily due to higher variable spending related to our increased sales and higher R&D variable cost in support of new business opportunities. Specifically, Q2 operating expenses included $1.4 million in program related R&D variable cost and $0.7 million in variable spending primarily related to higher sales. We continue to focus on aggressive operating expense control; quarterly fluctuations will continue to be dependent on variable expenses related to revenue levels and the timing of R&D spending as we opportunistically support new products and new capabilities."

Forward-Looking Statements Notice
The foregoing paragraphs contain forward-looking statements that involve estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include statements relating to: rebounding of the broader communications market in Asia and the lagging of computing and industrial markets; execution of our business strategy and our customer and market diversification efforts; our aggressive control of operating expenses and quarterly operating expense fluctuations being dependent on variable expenses related to revenue levels and the timing of R&D spending as we opportunistically support new products and new capabilities; and those statements under the heading "Business Outlook - Third Quarter 2013" relating to expected revenue, gross margin, total operating expenses, and projected charges associated with the Company's move to a new facility in San Jose, California. Other forward-looking statements may be indicated by words such as "will," "could," "should," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "forecast," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "propose," "potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Lattice believes the factors identified below could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
Estimates of future revenue are inherently uncertain due to, among other things, the high percentage of quarterly "turns" business. In addition, revenue is affected by such factors as global economic conditions, which may affect customer demand, pricing pressures, competitive actions, the demand for our Mature, Mainstream and New products, and in particular our iCE™, MachXO™ and LatticeECP3™ devices, the ability to supply products to customers in a timely manner, changes in our distribution relationships, or the volatility of our consumer business. Actual gross margin percentage and operating expenses could vary from the estimates on the basis of, among other things, changes in revenue levels, changes in product pricing and mix, changes in wafer, assembly, test and other costs, including commodity costs, variations in manufacturing yields, the failure to sustain operational improvements, the actual amount of compensation charges due to stock price changes. Any unanticipated declines in revenue or gross margin, any unanticipated increases in our operating expenses or unanticipated charges could adversely affect our profitability.
In addition to the foregoing, other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release include global economic uncertainty, overall semiconductor market conditions, market acceptance and demand for our new products, the Company's dependencies on its silicon wafer suppliers, the impact of competitive products and pricing, technological and product development risks, and the other risks that are described in this press release and that are otherwise described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

In June 2013 the company early adopted, with retrospective application, the requirements of ASU 2013-11 Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Accordingly, previous periods have been revised to conform with current period presentation. This resulted in both long-term taxes payable and deferred tax assets declining by approximately $14 million for all periods presented.

* Product categories are modified as appropriate relative to our portfolio of products and the generation within each major product family. New products consist of our latest generation of products, while Mainstream and Mature are older or based on unique late stage customer-based production needs. Generally, product categories are adjusted every two to three years, at which time prior periods are reclassified to conform to the new categorization. In the first fiscal quarter 2012 we reclassified our New, Mainstream and Mature product categories to better reflect our current product portfolio.
