What was the primary driver of the significant increase in net sales?

The primary driver of the significant increase in net sales was the acquisition of SMSC on August 2, 2012. This acquisition, combined with general economic and semiconductor industry conditions and market share gains, led to a 31.4% year-over-year increase in net sales.

How did the SMSC acquisition impact the company's expenses?

The SMSC acquisition led to an increase in operating expenses, notably in Research and Development (R&D) and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. R&D expenses rose significantly due to additional costs from the acquisition, while amortization of acquired intangible assets increased substantially because of the intangible assets recognized from the SMSC transaction.

What is the company's liquidity position and how has it changed?

As of June 30, 2013, Microchip Technology Inc. had $403.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $125.1 million from the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to cash used in investing activities (such as purchases and sales of investments) and financing activities (like debt repayments and dividend payments).

What is the company's outlook on dividend payments?

Microchip Technology Inc. has a policy of paying quarterly cash dividends and expects to continue doing so. A dividend of $0.3535 per share was paid in June 2013, and another of $0.354 per share was declared for September 2013. The continuation and amount of future dividends depend on market conditions, results of operations, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

Microchip continues to prioritize shareholder returns through consistent dividend payments.
