What were the main drivers of revenue growth in the nine months ended August 1, 2015?

Revenue growth was primarily driven by the impact of the Hittite Microwave Corporation acquisition, a broad-based increase in demand within the Industrial end market, and strong performance in the Consumer segment, particularly in portable electronics. The Communications segment also contributed, though partially offset by decreased demand in wireless base stations.

How did the acquisition of Hittite Microwave Corporation affect the company's financial performance?

The acquisition of Hittite Microwave Corporation, completed in July 2014, contributed significantly to revenue growth across various segments, particularly Industrial and Communications. It also influenced gross margin through a favorable product mix and amortization of acquired intangibles. The integration of Hittite appears to be progressing well and supporting the company's strategic goals.

What is the company's outlook regarding research and development (R&D) spending?

Analog Devices views R&D as critical for future growth and maintaining product leadership. R&D expenses increased by 15% for the nine-month period, reflecting investments in operational spending due to the Hittite acquisition, an increase in R&D employee costs, and variable compensation. The company expects to continue making significant R&D investments to drive innovation and develop new products.

How is the company managing its liquidity and capital resources?

ADI maintained a strong liquidity position with $3.1 billion in cash and short-term investments as of August 1, 2015. Cash flow from operations was robust, providing sufficient funds for operations, capital expenditures, and shareholder returns. The company also has a $750 million revolving credit facility available. A significant upcoming event is an expected $210 million contribution to settle liabilities related to its Irish defined benefits pension plan.
