AnalogicTech reported gross margins of 51.2% for the third quarter of 2009, compared to 50.0% for the third quarter of 2008 and 48.3% for the second quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP gross margin was 51.7% for the third quarter of 2009, compared to 51.4% for the third quarter of 2008 and 48.9% for the second quarter of 2009. The Company ended the quarter with $103.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. "Our third quarter results exceeded expectations for sales, gross margin and non-GAAP earnings per share," stated Richard K. Williams, President, CEO and CTO of AnalogicTech. "We were pleased to experience strong sequential growth, particularly following the tremendous increase in sales last quarter. We continued to see an increasing revenue contribution from our battery management products, which grew by more than 60% from last quarter. This growing business segment expands our ability to address new applications. Revenue from our ModularBCD products also continued to grow in the third quarter."
