Analog Devices, Inc., a global semiconductor leader, announced financial results for its third quarter fiscal year 2023, which ended July 29, 2023.
“In a challenging operating environment, ADI executed well, and delivered third quarter results within our expectations. However, the customer inventory adjustments we mentioned last quarter have accelerated as economic conditions deteriorate and our lead times continue to improve,” said Vincent Roche, CEO and Chair. “Despite the near-term turbulence, we have built a resilient business over many decades defined by our diversified customer and product portfolio and our flexible hybrid manufacturing model. This enables us to endure softer demand periods, while sustaining strategic investments to ensure we capitalize when the business inflects.”
Roche continued, “Our tremendous optimism in ADI’s long-term outlook is undiminished. In this rapidly digitalizing world, our portfolio is aligned to an unprecedented number of secular trends, including Industry 4.0, Electrification, Digital Healthcare, Immersive Consumer, and Advanced Connectivity. These trends, coupled with our cutting-edge solutions, will enable ADI to empower the next waves of innovation at the Intelligent Edge, and unlock value for all stakeholders.”
Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we are forecasting revenue of $2.70 billion, +/- $100 million. At the midpoint of this revenue outlook, we expect reported operating margin of approximately 26.8%, +/-130 bps, and adjusted operating margin of approximately 44.0%, +/-70 bps.
