MAXIM REPORTS REVENUES AND EARNINGS
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2004
AND DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

SUNNYVALE, CA—October 28, 2003—Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., (MXIM) reported net revenues of $310.2 million for its fiscal first quarter ending September 27, 2003, a 5.1% increase over the $295.0 million reported for the Company’s last reported quarter, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Net income for the quarter was $87.4 million, a 19.4% increase over the $73.2 million reported last year and a 6.9% increase over the $81.7 million reported for the fourth quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $0.25 for the first quarter, a 13.6% increase over the $0.22 reported for the same period a year ago and a 4.2% increase over the $0.24 reported for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.

During the quarter, cash and short-term investments increased $130.6 million after the Company repurchased 379,000 shares of its common stock for $15.5 million, paid dividends of $26.1 million, and acquired $23.0 million in capital equipment. Accounts receivable increased $4.2 million in the first quarter to $131.0 million due to the increase in net revenues, and inventories decreased $5.7 million to $115.4 million.

Gross margin for the first quarter remained consistent with the prior quarter at 70.0%, after inventory reserves were increased by $2.2 million. Research and development expense was $70.1 million or 22.6% of net revenues in the first quarter, compared to $67.2 million or 22.8% of net revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The increase in research and development expense in the first quarter was due to hiring additional engineers and increased expenses to support the Company’s new product development efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly from $21.0 million in the fourth quarter to $21.4 million in the first quarter but decreased as a percentage of net revenues from 7.1% to 6.9%.

First quarter bookings were approximately $349 million, a 12% increase over the fourth quarter’s level of $313 million. Turns orders received in the quarter were approximately $180 million, a 12% increase over the $161 million received in the prior quarter (turns orders are customer orders that are for delivery within the same quarter and may result in revenue within the same quarter if the Company has available inventory that matches those orders). Bookings increased in all geographic locations, with the greatest bookings improvement in the Pacific Rim region.

First quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $252 million, including approximately $233 million requested for shipment in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company’s fourth quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $227 million, including approximately $199 million that was requested for shipment in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

Jack Gifford, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We were pleased to see such a broad-based improvement in bookings this quarter, with 11 of our 14 business units seeing improved orders over last quarter. This is the third consecutive quarter of improved bookings, and bookings are at their highest level since the second quarter of fiscal 2001.”

Mr. Gifford concluded: “The Company’s Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share. Payment will be made on November 28, 2003 to stockholders of record on November 10, 2003.”
