Commented Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations: “First-quarter revenues grew 58 percent year-over-year reflecting the strong demand conditions across the industry as well as our continued success in advanced mobile-device chargers, appliances and many other power-supply applications. Distribution sell-through exceeded sell-in again in the first quarter and we have seen continued strength in bookings in recent weeks. As a result, we expect strong year-over-year growth again in the second quarter.”

GUIDANCE:

• GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 49.5 and 50 percent, and non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 50 and 50.5 percent. (The difference between the expected GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins is approximately equally attributable to amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and stock-based compensation.)
