GAAP gross margins increased to 45.0 percent in the second quarter, a 440 basis point increase over the 40.6 percent in the second quarter of 2005. GAAP gross margins were 48.1 percent in the first quarter. GAAP operating margins increased to 23.5 percent in the second quarter, a 1,140 basis point increase over the 12.1 percent in the second quarter of 2005 and a 20 basis point increase over the 23.3 percent in the first quarter of 2006.

Non-GAAP income and non-GAAP operating margins exclude transitional idle capacity and inventory abandonments, amortization of intangible assets, stock option compensation, loss on disposition of assets and restructuring and other special charges.


James J. Peterson, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Microsemi's non-GAAP second quarter results exceeded 30 percent in operating margin, which is a measure of great semiconductor companies. We believe this demonstrates our execution in our top line growth as well as our effectiveness in consolidation activities. We believe that we can continue to drive revenue growth with the acceptance of our new products and also leverage efficiencies going forward to continuing to increase these margins in the coming years."


The book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was 1.08, which reflects strength in the Company's high reliability semiconductor products and demand for its new high performance analog and mixed signal products.


Business Outlook


We expect that for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, our sales, including the impact of our acquisition of Advanced Power Technology, will increase between 15% and 19% sequentially. On a non-GAAP basis, we expect earnings for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 to be $0.26 to $0.28 per diluted share.

For instance, all statements of plans, beliefs, or expectations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified.

In addition to these factors and any other factors mentioned elsewhere in this news release, the reader should refer as well to the factors, uncertainties or risks identified in the company's most recent Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Q reports filed with the SEC. Additional risk factors shall be identified from time to time in Microsemi's future filings. Microsemi does not undertake to supplement or correct any information in this release that is or becomes incorrect.


To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we use non-GAAP financial measures (non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income before taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share) that exclude certain items such as transitional idle capacity and inventory abandonments, amortization of intangible assets, stock option compensation, loss on disposition of assets and restructuring and other special charges. Management excludes these items because it believes that the non-GAAP measures enhance an investor's overall understanding of the Company's financial performance and future prospects by being more reflective of the Company's core operational activities and to be more comparable with the results of the Company over various periods. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. Guidance is provided only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of such items. These items could be materially significant in our GAAP results in any period. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a more meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's core operating results and trends for the periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in


accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we


use non-GAAP financial measures (non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP


operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income before


taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share)


that exclude certain items such as transitional idle capacity and


inventory abandonments, amortization of intangible assets, stock


option compensation, loss on disposition of assets and restructuring


and other special charges. Management excludes these items because it


believes that the non-GAAP measures enhance an investor's overall


understanding of the Company's financial performance and future


prospects by being more reflective of the Company's core operational


activities and to be more comparable with the results of the Company


over various periods. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures


internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results


and evaluating current performance. Guidance is provided only on a


non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the


timing or amount of such items. These items could be materially


significant in our GAAP results in any period. By disclosing non-GAAP


financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a


more meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's core


operating results and trends for the periods presented. Non-GAAP


financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP;


therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other


companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a


substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated


in accordance with GAAP.


The items excluded from GAAP financial results in calculating


non-GAAP financial results, are set forth below:


(a) The restructuring activities involve the closure and


consolidation of our manufacturing facilities. As these


facilities are not expected to have a continuing contribution to


operations or have a diminishing contribution during the


transition phase, management believes excluding such items from


the Company's operations provides investors with a means of


evaluating the Company's on-going operations. Transitional idle


capacity relates to unused manufacturing capacity and


non-productive manufacturing expenses during the period from when


shutdown activities commence to when a facility is closed.


Inventory abandonments relate to identification and disposal of


inventory that will not be utilized after a product line is


transferred to a new manufacturing location. Loss on disposition


of assets results from abandonment of non-productive assets in


accordance with a restructuring plan. Restructuring and other


special charges includes severance and other costs related to


facilities in the process of closing or already closed.


Management excludes these expenses when evaluating core operating


activities and for strategic decision making, forecasting future


results and evaluating current performance.


(b) These amounts relate to amortization of acquisition related


intangibles. While this expense is expected to continue in the


future, for internal analysis of the Company's operations,


management does not view this expense as reflective of the


business' current performance.


(c) Stock option compensation in connection with the SFAS123R has


been excluded to facilitate the comparison of the quarter and


six-months ended April 3, 2006, with results from prior periods


when stock option compensation was not expensed in accordance


with accounting rules applicable in such periods. The reduction


in the charge for the acceleration of stock options originally


recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005 is due to lower than


previously estimated forfeiture rates.
