Insights
Microchip delivered a clear beat with strong margin and growth guidance.
Microchip Technology posted March-quarter net sales of $1.311 billion, up 35.1% year over year and above its prior guidance midpoint. Non-GAAP EPS of $0.57 exceeded the $0.48–$0.52 range, driven by stronger volumes and improved mix.
Non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 30.6%, versus 14.0% a year earlier, as the company leveraged lower inventory and higher factory utilization. For fiscal 2026, non-GAAP net income rose 31.8% to $933.9 million on 7.1% higher sales, highlighting substantial profitability gains despite only modest top-line growth.
Guidance for the June quarter calls for net sales of $1.442–$1.469 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $0.67–$0.71, implying continued double-digit sequential and year-over-year growth. Investors may focus on execution against this outlook and on capital allocation, including the $0.455 per-share common dividend and planned fiscal 2027 capital expenditures of about $100 million.

Non-GAAP financial
"On a Non-GAAP basis: gross profit of 61.6%; operating income of $400.9 million..."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"7.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock $0.001 par value per share"
Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock is a class of preferred shares that pays a fixed dividend and is contractually required to convert into common stock after a set date or when certain conditions are met. Think of it as a loan that will automatically turn into ownership: it gives investors priority over common shareholders for dividends and claims, but also guarantees future dilution when it converts — a key factor for valuing and timing investments.
free cash flow financial
"RECONCILIATION OF GAAP CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS TO FREE CASH FLOW"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
amortization of acquired intangible assets financial
"Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of core and developed technology..."
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is the gradual allocation of the purchase cost of non-physical items a company bought—like patents, brands, customer lists or software—spread over their expected useful life. It matters to investors because this accounting charge reduces reported profits even though it does not use cash at the time, so understanding it helps separate bookkeeping effects from underlying cash performance and valuation.

"We ended the fiscal year with strong momentum, representing meaningful progress from the challenging conditions we were navigating just a few quarters ago. As demand conditions have improved and customer inventory has normalized, we are seeing increasing momentum across our product lines, improving booking and sell‑through trends, strong expedite activity, and meaningful operating leverage, reflecting disciplined execution against our nine‑point recovery plan."

“A key lesson from the last cycle was the importance of disciplined inventory, capacity, and working capital management, and that continues to guide how we are operating the business,” Sanghi added. “As conditions have improved, we are encouraged by the progress we made during the last five quarters in reducing inventory levels across the company and the channel. We now expect lower inventory and improving demand to support higher internal factory utilization, which will further drive operating leverage and progress toward our long‑term gross and operating margin objectives.”
“Our March quarter results reflect improved operating leverage and continued progress in strengthening our balance sheet and working capital profile,” said Eric Bjornholt, Microchip's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "During the quarter, we reduced inventory by $22.3 million and lowered days of inventory from 201 days in December to 185 days in March, while distributor inventory declined to 26 days, near the low end of our historical range. From the high point at the end of December 2024, we have now reduced the inventory by $320.9 million.”
“We are seeing strong customer engagement and expanding design activity in data center and AI applications, driven by the breadth and performance of our high‑speed connectivity and compute portfolio,” said Rich Simoncic, Microchip's Chief Operating Officer. "The addition of our Gen6 PCIe retimer solutions further strengthens our data center offerings and supports increasingly complex system architectures, and we are encouraged by the growing number of design wins as customers adopt Microchip platforms, with engagement remaining broad-based across multiple end-markets."
“As we move into our seasonally stronger June and September quarters, we are seeing continued strengthening in booking activity and improved visibility across our business,” Sanghi said. “Based on current demand trends, backlog, and bookings activity, we expect net sales for the June quarter to be in the range of approximately $1.442 billion to $1.469 billion, which at the mid-point will be up 35.3% from a year ago quarter and up 11% sequentially. We expect non‑GAAP gross margin of approximately 62.25% to 63.25%, non‑GAAP operating expense of approximately 28.75% to 29.25%, non-GAAP operating profit of 33.00% to 34.50%, and non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.67 to $0.71. We are ramping our factories in the front end as well as back end as we see inventory correcting rapidly towards our longer term model.”

(1) See the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this release for information regarding our non-GAAP guidance.
(2) We are not able to estimate the amount of certain Special Charges and Other, net that may be incurred during the quarter ending June 30, 2026. Therefore, our estimate of GAAP operating expenses excludes certain amounts that may be recognized as Special Charges and Other, net in the quarter ending June 30, 2026.
(3) The forecast for GAAP tax expense excludes any unexpected tax events that may occur during the quarter, as these amounts cannot be forecasted.
(4) Represents the expected cash tax rate for fiscal 2027, excluding any transition tax payments associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
(5) Our GAAP guidance excludes the impact of any potential gains or charges related to our ongoing evaluation of restructuring activities including the sale of our Fab 2 wafer fabrication facility.
Capital expenditures for the quarter ending June 30, 2026 are expected to be approximately $20 million. Capital expenditures for all of fiscal 2027 are expected to be approximately $100 million. Consistent with the slow macroeconomic environment in fiscal 2025, we have paused most of our factory expansion actions and reduced our planned capital investments through fiscal 2027. However, we are adding capital equipment to selectively expand our production capacity and add research and development equipment.
Under the GAAP revenue recognition standard, we are required to recognize revenue when control of the product changes from us to a customer or distributor. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating demand for our products in the end markets we serve and not on moving inventory into our distribution network. We also manage our manufacturing and supply chain operations, including our distributor relationships, towards the goal of having our products available at the time and location the end customer desires.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Our non-GAAP adjustments, where applicable, include the effect of share-based compensation, restructuring charges, cybersecurity incident expenses, expenses related to our acquisition activities (including intangible asset amortization, severance, other restructuring costs, and legal and other general and administrative expenses including legal fees and expenses for litigation related to our Microsemi acquisition), professional services associated with certain legal matters, loss on settlement of debt, (gain) loss on available-for-sale investments, and dividends on our Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. For the fourth quarters of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, our non-GAAP income tax expense is presented based on projected cash taxes for the fiscal year, excluding transition tax payments under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
We are required to estimate the cost of certain forms of share-based compensation, including restricted stock units and our employee stock purchase plan, and to record a commensurate expense in our income statement. Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is affected by the price of our stock at the date of grant. The price of our stock is affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management. Our other non-GAAP adjustments are either non-cash expenses, unusual or infrequent items, or other expenses related to transactions. Management excludes all of these items from its internal operating forecasts and models.
We are using non-GAAP operating expenses in dollars, including non-GAAP research and development expenses and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other expense, net, and non-GAAP income tax rate, which exclude the items noted above, as applicable, to permit additional analysis of our performance.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they enhance the understanding of our historical financial performance and comparability between periods. Many of our investors have requested that we disclose this non-GAAP information because they believe it is useful in understanding our performance as it excludes non-cash and other charges that many investors feel may obscure our underlying operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of our business and for compensation purposes. We also use our non-GAAP results when developing and monitoring our budgets and spending. Our determination of these non-GAAP measures might not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it should not be construed as a substitute for amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with using these non-GAAP measures, including that they exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Management compensates for this by presenting information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for investors and providing reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP results.
Generally, gross profit fluctuates over time, driven primarily by the mix of products sold and licensing revenue; variances in manufacturing yields; fixed cost absorption; wafer fab loading levels; costs of wafers from foundries; inventory reserves; pricing pressures in our non-proprietary product lines; and competitive and economic conditions. Operating expenses fluctuate over time, primarily due to net sales and profit levels.

Diluted Common Shares Outstanding can vary for, among other things, the trading price of our common stock, the vesting of restricted stock units, the potential for incremental dilutive shares from our convertible debentures and our mandatory convertible preferred stock (additional information regarding our share count is available in the investor relations section of our website under the heading "Supplemental Information"), and repurchases or issuances of shares of our common stock. The diluted common shares outstanding presented in the guidance table above assumes an average Microchip stock price in the June 2026 quarter between $90 and $100 per share (however, we make no prediction as to what our actual share price will be for such period or any other period).

Cautionary Statement:
The statements in this release relating to broad‑based improvement across Microchip’s business, meaningful progress from the challenging conditions we were navigating, increasing momentum across our product lines, improving booking and sell‑through trends, strong expedite activity, and meaningful operating leverage, disciplined execution against our nine‑point recovery plan, the importance of disciplined inventory, capacity, and working capital management, and that continues to guide how we are operating the business, that we are encouraged by the progress we made during the last five quarters in reducing inventory levels across the company and the channel, that we now expect lower inventory and improving demand to support higher internal factory utilization, which will further drive operating leverage and progress toward our long‑term gross and operating margin objectives, that our March quarter results reflect improved operating leverage and continued progress in strengthening our balance sheet and working capital profile, that we are seeing strong customer engagement and expanding design activity in data center and AI applications, driven by the breadth and performance of our high‑speed connectivity and compute portfolio, that the addition of our Gen6 PCIe retimer solutions further strengthens our data center offerings and supports increasingly complex system architectures, and we are encouraged by the growing number of design wins as customers adopt Microchip platforms, with engagement remaining broad-based across multiple end-markets, that as we move into our seasonally stronger June and September quarters, we are seeing continued strengthening in booking activity and improved visibility across our business, that based on current demand trends, backlog, and bookings activity, we expect net sales for the June quarter to be in the range of approximately $1.442 billion to $1.469 billion, which at the mid-point will be up 35.3% from a year ago quarter and up 11% sequentially, that we expect non‑GAAP gross margin of approximately 62.25% to 63.25%, non‑GAAP operating expense of approximately 28.75% to 29.25%, non-GAAP operating profit of 33.00% to 34.50%, and non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.67 to $0.71, that we are ramping our factories in the front end as well as back end as we see inventory correcting rapidly towards our longer term model, our fiscal first quarter 2027 guidance for net sales and GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, other expense, net, income tax provision, net income, dividends on Series A Preferred Stock, net income attributable to common stockholders, diluted common shares outstanding, diluted net income per common share, capital expenditures for the June 2026 quarter and for all of fiscal 2027, adding capital equipment to selectively expand our production capacity and add research and development equipment, our belief that non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and our assumed average stock price in the June 2026 quarter are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
