Summary
Microchip Technology Inc.'s (MCHP) third quarter fiscal year 2019 10-Q filing shows a solid revenue increase driven by the recent acquisition of Microsemi. Net sales grew 9.1% year-over-year to $1.32 billion, primarily due to the full inclusion of Microsemi's sales in the current period compared to only one month in the prior year. Despite the revenue growth, the company is navigating a complex environment. Increased amortization of acquired intangible assets and higher interest expenses associated with debt taken on for the Microsemi acquisition impacted profitability, leading to a net income of $50.7 million ($0.20 diluted EPS), a modest increase from $35.7 million ($0.14 diluted EPS) in the prior year. The company continues to manage its substantial debt load, with total debt standing at $11.40 billion. Investors should monitor the ongoing integration of Microsemi and the company's ability to manage its debt obligations while investing in future growth.
