It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive  products grew sequentially, marking three quarters of sequential growth for our analog business and four quarters of sequential growth for our DSP business. During the fourth quarter, our strongest sales growth was from our broad base of distribution channel customers, increasing 6% sequentially, following a pattern of mid single-digit quarterly increases that began earlier in the year," said Jerald G.

"We continued to build die bank inventory during the fourth quarter to prepare for the transfer of production from our 4-inch wafer fabs to our existing 6- and 8-inch fabs. This program is nearing completion and as a result, inventory is expected to be flat next quarter," Mr. Fishman explained.

Regarding the near-term outlook, Mr. Fishman said, "We are currently planning for approximately flat sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. If the recent strength in order rates continues, we could potentially show some sequential growth in the first quarter. However, mindful mind·ful

Regarding the long-term outlook, Mr. Fishman concluded, "We believe that signal processing See DSP.  is rapidly becoming the primary growth driver for the semiconductor industry over the next ten years.

                     GAAP to Pro Forma Adjustments
          (In thousands of dollars, except per-share amounts)

Management believes that pro forma financial information provides a
more meaningful comparison of trends in quarterly and annual results.
Pro forma income information is prepared by beginning with the
Consolidated Statements of Income, which comply with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and then excluding amortization
of intangibles, acquisition-related expenses, in-process R&D
write-offs, restructuring costs, investment and goodwill impairments
and realized gains on investments. The provision for taxes has been
adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect the tax effect of these items.
