The first quarter of fiscal 2019 was another very successful quarter for ADI.
2019 財年第一季是 ADI 又一個非常成功的季度。
In what is a challenging macroeconomic environment, we're executing soundly and delivering strong results.
在充滿挑戰的宏觀經濟環境中,我們執行良好並且取得了強勁的業績。
Revenue of $1.54 billion in the first quarter came in at the high-end of our guidance, led by our strong year-over-year growth in our B2B markets.
在 B2B 市場同比強勁成長的帶動下,第一季的營收達到了 15.4 億美元,達到了我們指導的上限。
This growth was driven predominantly by continued strength in our communications market related to ongoing 4G upgrades and initial 5G deployments.
這一成長主要是由與持續的 4G 升級和初始 5G 部署相關的通訊市場的持續強勁推動的。
Adjusted operating margins of over 41% were above the midpoint of guidance, as we balanced our strategic investments with prudent discretionary spend.
由於我們平衡了策略性投資與審慎的可自由支配支出,調整後營業利潤率超過 41%,高於指導中位數。
All told, adjusted EPS was $1.33, also at the high-end of guidance.
總而言之,調整後每股收益為 1.33 美元,也處於指導值的高端。
Over the past 12 months, we have generated over $2.1 billion in free cash flow or 35% of revenue, which places ADI in the top 5% of the S&P 500.
在過去 12 個月中,我們產生了超過 21 億美元的自由現金流,佔收入的 35%,這使 ADI 躋身標準普爾 500 強前 5% 之列。
And over that same time period, we've returned more than 100% of free cash flow to our shareholders after debt repayments.
同期,我們在償還債務後將超過 100% 的自由現金流返還給股東。
Now while macro uncertainties continue to exist, our strong execution and results enable us to continue to invest in extending over franchise in strategic areas where we see attractive opportunities for future growth.
現在,儘管宏觀不確定性仍然存在,但我們強大的執行力和績效使我們能夠繼續投資於策略領域的特許經營權擴展,我們認為這些領域具有未來成長的誘人機會。
To that end, we're investing record levels of R&D to push the boundaries of innovation and expand the breadth and depth of our franchise.
為此,我們正在投資創紀錄水平的研發,以突破創新界限並擴大我們特許經營的廣度和深度。
In addition, we've increased our investments in our go-to-market activities to further broaden and deepen our customer reach and our engagements.
此外,我們還增加了對市場推廣活動的投資,以進一步擴大和深化我們的客戶覆蓋範圍和參與度。
The strength and resiliency of our business model allows us to innovate regardless of business conditions.
我們業務模式的實力和彈性使我們能夠在任何業務條件下進行創新。
This ability is imperative given the long life cycles in our markets, where our average product life span is a decade or indeed more.
鑑於我們市場的生命週期較長,這種能力是必不可少的,我們的平均產品壽命為十年甚至更長。
And while some competitors pull back and lose momentum in uncertain times, we plan to continuously invest to build upon our virtuous cycle of innovation-led growth.
儘管一些競爭對手在不確定的時期撤退並失去動力,但我們計劃繼續投資,以建立創新主導型成長的良性循環。
In my 30-plus year career with ADI, I've never been more confident or excited about our prospects than I am today.
在 ADI 的 30 多年職業生涯中,我從未像今天這樣對我們的前景充滿信心或興奮。
The third wave of information and communications technology is creating an inflection in the analog industry.
資訊和通訊技術的第三波正在為模擬產業帶來變革。
And we've built a product portfolio aimed at favorable macro trends that I believe will provide tailwinds for years to come.
我們已經針對有利的宏觀趨勢建立了產品組合,我相信這將在未來幾年提供順風。
Now I'll provide you with some examples of what we're seeing in our B2B market specifically.
現在我將向您提供一些我們在 B2B 市場中所看到的具體範例。
Today, industrial customers are balancing CapEx deployments with tariff uncertainty.
如今,工業客戶正在平衡資本支出部署與關稅不確定性。
However, our customers remain focused on digitizing the factory and securing the efficiency and productivity that will fuel their future growth.
然而,我們的客戶仍然專注於工廠數位化並確保效率和生產力,這將推動他們未來的成長。
The move to the digital factory requires more high-performance signal processing and power management, additional sensors and more robust connectivity.
向數位工廠的轉變需要更高性能的訊號處理和電源管理、額外的感測器和更強大的連接。
These are all areas where ADI excels.
這些都是 ADI 擅長的領域。
On the automotive front, vehicle unit growth has stalled recently.
在汽車方面,汽車銷售成長最近陷入停滯。
But the real growth drivers, electric and autonomous vehicles, are in the nascent stages.
但真正的成長動力——電動車和自動駕駛汽車——正處於萌芽階段。
Electric vehicles represent only 1% of worldwide sales, but industry reports suggest this will climb to more than 15% over the next decade or so.
電動車僅佔全球銷量的 1%,但產業報告表明,這一比例將在未來十年左右攀升至 15% 以上。
The powertrain in an electric vehicle opens the opportunity for us to address up to 3x the content compared to combustion engines.
與內燃機相比,電動車的動力系統為我們提供了處理多達 3 倍內容的機會。
Today, we enjoy the luxuries of Level 2 autonomous vehicles, but the cars of the future will require higher precision and up to 4x more sensors per car to provide the necessary level of safety for a fully autonomous vehicle.
今天,我們享受 2 級自動駕駛汽車的奢華,但未來的汽車將需要更高的精度和每輛車最多 4 倍的感測器,才能為全自動駕駛汽車提供必要的安全等級。
And it's not just about radar or cameras.
這不僅僅是雷達或攝影機的問題。
We expect that these cars of the future will require LIDARs and IMUs as well.
我們預計未來的這些汽車也將需要光達和 IMU。
ADI is uniquely positioned to provide the necessary building blocks across all these sensing modalities as well as the analog and mixed single processing, RF and microwave connectivity, algorithms and power management to make the autonomous vision a reality.
ADI 具有獨特的優勢,可以為所有這些感測模式以及類比和混合單一處理、射頻和微波連接、演算法和電源管理提供必要的建構模組,使自主願景成為現實。
In communications, carriers are looking to upgrade both the wireless networks and the optical backbone to deal with the ever increasing deluge of data being created and transmitted.
在通訊領域,營運商正在尋求升級無線網路和光纖主幹網,以應對不斷增加的大量資料的創建和傳輸。
This additional data intensifies the need for spectral, space, thermal and cost efficiency.
這些額外的數據加劇了對光譜、空間、熱和成本效率的需求。
And with our comprehensive portfolio of software-defined mixed signal, RF, microwave and power management technologies, we're creating very compelling solutions for our customers as they upgrade 4G networks and begin the introduction of 5G systems.
憑藉我們全面的軟體定義混合訊號、射頻、微波和電源管理技術組合,我們正在為升級 4G 網路並開始引入 5G 系統的客戶創建非常引人注目的解決方案。
An important bridge between 4G and 5G is the introduction of massive MIMO radio systems.
4G 和 5G 之間的一座重要橋樑是大規模 MIMO 無線電系統的引進。
And ADI's software-defined transceiver technology is at their core.
ADI 的軟體定義收發器技術是其核心。
These upgrades to massive MIMO systems are just beginning today.
這些大規模 MIMO 系統的升級今天才剛開始。
And the increase in radio count expands our content opportunity by up to 4x when compared to traditional 4G systems.
與傳統 4G 系統相比,無線電數量的增加將我們的內容機會擴大了多達 4 倍。
This phase will be followed by network expansions to higher frequencies to increase bandwidth as well as the upgrade of the optical backhaul and virtualization of the network to more efficiently move the data.
此階段之後將是將網路擴展到更高的頻率以增加頻寬,以及升級光纖回程和網路虛擬化以更有效地移動資料。
This next wave will once again create the opportunity for ADI to address additional content, both in the radio as well as in the optical network.
下一波浪潮將再次為 ADI 創造機會來解決無線電和光纖網路中的附加內容。
We see these upgrades towards 5G as a multi-year cycle that's just beginning, and are expected to provide tailwinds to our business well into the future.
我們將這些向 5G 的升級視為一個剛開始的多年周期,預計將為我們的未來業務提供動力。
And lastly, in health care, the dual impact of an aging global population and the pressing need to more economically and effectively manage wellness is driving continued investments in our products by our customers.
最後,在醫療保健領域,全球人口老化的雙重影響以及更經濟、更有效地管理健康的迫切需求正在推動客戶對我們產品的持續投資。
Here we're complementing our high-end component franchise with highly integrated subsystems, thereby extending our addressable market to capture new levels of value.
在這裡,我們透過高度整合的子系統來補充我們的高端組件專營權,從而擴展我們的目標市場,以獲取新的價值水平。
For example, in digital x-ray, we're creating highly integrated photons to bit subsystems that enable our customers to deliver high fidelity images at lower radiation dosages.
例如,在數位 X 光領域,我們正在創建高度整合的光子比特子系統,使我們的客戶能夠以較低的輻射劑量提供高保真度影像。
Separately, ADI's deep expertise in vital signs monitoring and ultra-low power electronics enable clinical-grade performance under battery power, allowing us to deliver high accuracy, portable monitoring at virtually any point of use.
另外,ADI 在生命徵象監測和超低功耗電子產品方面的深厚專業知識可在電池供電下實現臨床級性能,使我們能夠在幾乎任何使用點提供高精度、便攜式監測。
Now in closing, as the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all ships.
最後,俗話說,水漲船高。
The true test of a company's strategy, execution and value is its performance during a low tide.
真正考驗一個公司的策略、執行力和價值的是它在低潮時期的表現。
Now we've chosen a strategy that focuses on innovation, diversity across technologies, markets and applications and continuous improvement across every aspect of our performance.
現在,我們選擇了一項策略,重點關注創新、技術、市場和應用的多樣性,以及我們績效各個方面的持續改進。
And the results speak for themselves.
結果不言而喻。
We're confident that our ethos and heritage of innovation, leadership in high-performance analog, deep relationships with our customers and alignment to favorable macro trends positions us to create -- to continue to outperform, capture more value, expand our addressable market and deliver strong results for our shareholders.
我們相信,我們的創新精神和傳統、高效能模擬領域的領導地位、與客戶的深厚關係以及符合有利的宏觀趨勢,使我們能夠創造——繼續超越,獲取更多價值,擴大我們的目標市場,並為我們的股東帶來強勁的業績。
And so with that, I will hand it over to Prashanth, who will bring you through more detail.
因此,我將把它交給 Prashanth,他將為您帶來更多細節。
Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
Thank you, Vince.
謝謝你,文斯。
Good morning, everyone, and let me add my welcome to our first quarter earnings call.
大家早上好,請容許我對我們第一季財報電話會議表示歡迎。
My comments today with the exception of revenue and non-op expenses will be on an adjusted basis, which excludes special items outlined in today's press release.
我今天的評論,除收入和非營運支出外,都將在調整後的基礎上進行,其中不包括今天新聞稿中概述的特殊項目。
As a reminder, the first quarter of 2018 was a 14-week quarter, and we have now adopted ASC 606 or sell-in accounting.
提醒一下,2018 年第一季是一個為期 14 週的季度,我們現在採用了 ASC 606 或賣出會計。
We have restated our historical financial statements to conform.
我們重述了我們的歷史財務報表以保持一致。
And as Mike mentioned, we've also posted a 2-year quarterly end-market look-back for revenue on a sell-in basis.
正如麥克所提到的,我們也發布了基於銷售的兩年季度終端市場收入回顧。
To normalize our growth rates and give you a like-for-like comparison, my prepared remarks and our Q&A commentary will exclude this extra week and will be on a sell-in basis, unless otherwise stated.
為了使我們的成長率正常化並為您提供同類比較,除非另有說明,我準備好的評論和我們的問答評論將排除這額外的一周,並將以賣出為基礎。
Now onto the quarter.
現在進入季度。
In the face of geopolitical uncertainty, we are pleased to report strong first quarter results with revenue, operating margin and EPS all coming in above the midpoint of our guidance.
面對地緣政治的不確定性,我們很高興地報告強勁的第一季業績,營收、營業利潤率和每股盈餘都高於我們指導的中點。
Additionally, we are delighted to have increased our dividend by almost 13%, the largest increase since 2013.
此外,我們很高興將股息增加了近 13%,這是自 2013 年以來的最大增幅。
And we also raised our dividend growth target to 7% to 15% annually.
我們也將股息成長目標提高至每年 7% 至 15%。
This reflects our strong financial results as well as our optimism regarding ADI's future.
這反映了我們強勁的財務表現以及我們對 ADI 未來的樂觀態度。
Before diving into the income statement, let me first cover the end markets.
在深入討論損益表之前,讓我先介紹一下終端市場。
Our first quarter B2B revenue increased 10% year-over-year, led by exceptional growth in the communication market, driven by ongoing momentum in 4G and the initial 5G deployments.
我們第一季的 B2B 營收年增 10%,這得益於 4G 持續成長動能和初始 5G 部署的推動,通訊市場的異常成長。
The industrial market represented 47% of sales in the quarter and revenue was roughly flat compared to the year-ago quarter.
工業市場佔本季銷售額的 47%,營收與去年同期基本持平。
Within this highly diversified business, revenue growth in health care, electronic test and measurement, aerospace and defense were balanced by weaker demand in factory automation and memory test.
在這項高度多元化的業務中,醫療保健、電子測試和測量、航空航太和國防領域的收入成長被工廠自動化和記憶體測試需求疲軟所抵消。
The comms market represented 22% of sales during the quarter and experienced very strong double-digit year-over-year growth, led by strength in wireless.
通訊市場佔本季銷售額的 22%,在無線業務的帶動下,實現了非常強勁的兩位數同比增長。
This growth exceeded our expectations and illustrates the strong momentum ADI is experiencing in traditional 4G systems and in the early deployments of 5G massive MIMO.
這一成長超出了我們的預期,說明了 ADI 在傳統 4G 系統和 5G 大規模 MIMO 早期部署中所經歷的強勁勢頭。
We see 5G as a multi-year upgrade cycle that is expected to deliver continued growth over the coming years.
我們將 5G 視為一個多年的升級週期,預計在未來幾年將持續成長。
Our auto business represented 17% of sales in the quarter, and based on sell-through revenue, was essentially flat compared to the year-ago quarter.
我們的汽車業務佔本季銷售額的 17%,根據銷售收入計算,與去年同期相比基本持平。
Overall vehicle unit weakness was offset by double-digit growth in BMS, growth in power management as we bring new products to market and extend our customer reach and ramping sales of A2B.
隨著我們將新產品推向市場、擴大客戶覆蓋範圍以及 A2B 銷售的增加,BMS 的兩位數成長、電源管理的成長抵消了整體車輛部門的疲軟。
The 6% year-over-year reported growth from our end-market breakout is primarily due to sell-in accounting as we moved some customers from direct to distribution during the quarter.
我們的終端市場突破帶來的 6% 的同比增長主要歸功於銷售會計,因為我們在本季度將一些客戶從直接轉為分銷。
And lastly, our consumer business represented 14% of sales in the first quarter.
最後,我們的消費者業務佔第一季銷售額的 14%。
As expected, revenues declined year-over-year.
正如預期,收入年減。
However, portables declined less than expected.
然而,便攜式設備的下降幅度小於預期。
Now on to the P&L.
現在來看損益表。
Revenue for the quarter was at the high-end of our guidance at approximately $1.54 billion, up 6% year-over-year.
本季營收約 15.4 億美元,處於我們指引的上限,年增 6%。
Gross margin came in at 70.3% and lower year-over-year due to end-market mix and lower utilization rates.
由於終端市場組合和利用率較低,毛利率為 70.3%,較去年同期下降。
OpEx in the quarter was $448 million, down slightly sequentially and below the midpoint of guidance, as we balanced our strategic investments with prudent discretionary spend.
本季的營運支出為 4.48 億美元,比上一季略有下降,低於指導中點,因為我們平衡了戰略投資和謹慎的可自由支配支出。
This translated to an operating margin of 41.2%, which was at the high-end of our guided range.
這意味著營業利益率為 41.2%,處於我們指引範圍的高端。
Non-op expenses in the first quarter were $56 million, unchanged from 4Q, but lower than a year ago, due to our debt reduction of $1.2 billion over the past year.
第一季的非營運支出為 5,600 萬美元,與第四季度持平,但低於去年同期,這是由於我們在過去一年中減少了 12 億美元的債務。
Our tax rate for the quarter was just above 14% and at the lower end of outlook of 14% to 16%.
我們本季的稅率略高於 14%,處於預期下限 14% 至 16%。
All told, adjusted diluted earnings per share from the first quarter came in above the midpoint of guidance at $1.33.
總而言之,第一季調整後攤薄每股收益高於指引值中點 1.33 美元。
Now moving on to the balance sheet.
現在轉向資產負債表。
Inventory dollars increased slightly sequentially, while days were flat at 117 compared to fourth quarter.
庫存美元環比略有增加,而天數與第四季持平,為 117 天。
As a reminder, in the coming quarters, we will begin to build bridge inventory ahead of the closure of our front-end and back-end facilities that we expect to deliver another $100 million of cost synergies.
提醒一下,在接下來的幾個季度中,我們將在關閉前端和後端設施之前開始建立橋樑庫存,我們預計將再帶來 1 億美元的成本協同效應。
So we plan to modestly increase our inventory days temporarily until these closures are complete.
因此,我們計劃暫時適度增加庫存天數,直到這些關閉完成。
Distribution inventory days were down, both sequentially and year-over-year and remain in our target range.
分銷庫存天數環比和同比均有所下降,但仍處於我們的目標範圍內。
CapEx in the first quarter was $91 million or 6% of sales.
第一季的資本支出為 9,100 萬美元,佔銷售額的 6%。
For the full year, we anticipate CapEx may run modestly higher than our 4% model due to the co-location of our product and business development teams and additional capacity to support future linear growth.
由於我們的產品和業務開發團隊位於同一地點,以及支援未來線性成長的額外能力,我們預計全年資本支出可能會略高於我們的 4% 模型。
This would be a temporary deviation from our long-term model.
這將是與我們的長期模型的暫時偏差。
Free cash flow was $2.1 billion on a trailing 12-month basis.
過去 12 個月的自由現金流為 21 億美元。
Over the past 12 months, we have returned 100% of our free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and buybacks after debt repayments.
在過去的12個月裡,我們透過股利和償還債務後的回購,將100%的自由現金流返還給股東。
In the first quarter, we repaid $100 million of debt, paid $178 million in dividends and repurchased $227 million of our stock or roughly 2.5 million shares.
第一季度,我們償還了 1 億美元的債務,支付了 1.78 億美元的股息,並回購了 2.27 億美元的股票,約 250 萬股。
Now on to guidance, which again with the exception of revenue and non-op expenses is also on an adjusted basis, excluding items outlined in today's release.
現在來看指導,除了收入和非營運支出之外,該指導也是經過調整的,不包括今天發布的內容中概述的項目。
As a reminder, our guidance is based on sell-in or POA accounting.
提醒一下,我們的指導是基於賣出或 POA 會計。
For context, during 2018, the change in channel inventory for the year was minimal, as channel inventory increased in the first half and was reduced in the second half of the year.
就背景而言,2018年全年通路庫存變化很小,上半年通路庫存增加,下半年通路庫存減少。
On average, over the past 3 years, channel inventory impacts annual revenue by about 1%, while quarterly variances could be and have been larger.
平均而言,在過去 3 年中,通路庫存對年收入的影響約為 1%,而季度差異可能而且已經更大。
Second quarter revenue is expected to be $1.5 billion, plus or minus $50 million.
第二季營收預計為 15 億美元,上下浮動 5,000 萬美元。
At the midpoint, we expect our B2B markets of industrial, automotive and communications in the aggregate to increase slightly year-over-year, led by the communications market.
中期來看,我們預計工業、汽車和通訊 B2B 市場整體將在通訊市場的帶動下同比略有增長。
At the midpoint of guidance, we expect second quarter operating margin to be up slightly sequentially at 41.3%.
在指引的中點,我們預期第二季營業利潤率將比上一季小幅上升至 41.3%。
Non-op expenses are expected to be basically flat sequentially, and we are planning for our tax rate to be towards the lower end of our previously guided range of 14% to 16%.
非營運費用預計將基本持平,我們計劃將稅率降至先前指導範圍 14% 至 16% 的下限。
Based on these inputs, diluted EPS, excluding special items, is expected to be $1.30, plus or minus $0.07.
根據這些投入,不包括特殊項目的攤薄後每股收益預計為 1.30 美元,上下浮動 0.07 美元。
All in, it was a strong quarter to kick off fiscal '19.
總而言之,這是 19 財年的一個強勁季度。
And while we are mindful of the economic uncertainty around us, I will echo Vince's optimism and say that we are extremely confident in the long-term growth opportunities for ADI.
雖然我們注意到周圍的經濟不確定性,但我會同意文斯的樂觀態度,並表示我們對 ADI 的長期成長機會充滿信心。
And with that, I'll turn over to Mike to start our Q&A.
接下來,我將轉向麥克開始我們的問答。
Michael C. Lucarelli - Director of IR
Michael C. Lucarelli - Director of IR
Thanks, Prashanth.
謝謝,普拉珊特。
Okay.
好的。
Before we move to Q&A, one last reminder from IR.
在我們開始問答之前,IR 最後提醒一下。
Our growth commentary will be on a normalized 13-week basis and on sell-in, unless we otherwise state it.
除非我們另有說明,否則我們的成長評論將以標準化的 13 週為基礎並以賣出為基礎。
Now let's get to the Q&A.
現在讓我們進入問答環節。
(Operator Instructions) Operator, can we have our first question, please?
(接線生指示)接線員,我們可以問第一個問題嗎?
Operator
Operator
(Operator Instructions) And our first question comes from Ambrish Srivastava from BMO.
(操作員說明)我們的第一個問題來自 BMO 的 Ambrish Srivastava。
Ambrish Srivastava - MD of Semiconductor Research & Senior Research Analyst
Ambrish Srivastava - MD of Semiconductor Research & Senior Research Analyst
I just wanted to put your guide with respect to what the peers have reported and guided to.
我只是想根據同行報告和指導的內容來提供您的指南。
Is it fair to assume that it's really, the sell-in accounting change is one of the bigger factors in your Q-over-Q guide being different than your peers like [Dixon] and Maxim.
可以公平地假設這是真的嗎?賣出會計的變化是你的 Q-over-Q 指南與 [Dixon] 和 Maxim 等同行不同的更大因素之一。
Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
No, Ambrish, I'm not sure why you'd conclude that.
不,安布里什,我不確定你為什麼會得出這樣的結論。
Our guide -- we're not -- as I mentioned, we're not guiding point-of-sale anymore.
我們的指南——我們不再——正如我所提到的,我們不再指導銷售點。
We're on a sell-in basis.
我們以銷售為基礎。
But the guide is at the $1,541 million midpoint of growth -- excuse me, at the $1,500 million midpoint.
但該指南位於 15.41 億美元的成長中點——對不起,是 15 億美元的中點。
The guide should be on a year-over-year basis.
該指南應以逐年為基礎。
If you were to take an assumption on flat inventory channel, you would still see a pretty strong sequential or year-over-year growth number there.
如果您假設庫存渠道平坦,您仍然會看到相當強勁的連續或同比增長數字。

Ambrish, just some context there.
安布里什,只是一些背景資訊。
As Prashanth said in his prepared remarks, we built inventory in the first half of the year and -- in '18 and this year, we're not planning to build as much.
正如 Prashanth 在他準備好的演講中所說,我們在今年上半年建立了庫存,而在 18 年和今年,我們不打算建立那麼多庫存。
So that would actually be counter to what you said.
所以這實際上與你所說的相反。
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Ambrish, if you take our outlook for the next quarter, 2Q, basically, our days in the channel are flat.
安布里什(Ambrish),如果你對下個季度(第二季)的前景進行展望,基本上,我們在通道中的日子是平淡的。
So it's certainly not an inventory build or sell-in issue.
因此,這肯定不是庫存增加或銷售問題。
We run the company on a sell-through basis.
我們以直銷為基礎經營公司。
So I want to make that clear.
所以我想澄清這一點。

A bit longer-term, Vince, on the 5G versus 4G.
Vince,從更長遠的角度來說,5G 與 4G 的比較。
Can you just help us understand what are the different dynamics architecture wise?
您能幫助我們了解什麼是不同的動態架構嗎?
And also the content gains that you expect?
還有您期望的內容效益嗎?
I know it's multi-flavor rollout, multi-year rollout, but how should we think about your positioning versus what it was in 4G?
我知道這是多風格的推出、多年的推出,但我們應該如何考慮您的定位與 4G 的定位?
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Yes.
是的。
So the 4G build-outs are continuing.
因此,4G 建設仍在繼續。
I think that will be the story for the next couple of years in terms of revenue contribution to ADI.
我認為這將是未來幾年對 ADI 收入貢獻的故事。
But of course, 4G is being upgraded.
但當然,4G正在升級。
We're adding massive MIMO, for example, to direct the energy and improve spectral efficiency.
例如,我們正在添加大規模 MIMO,以引導能量並提高頻譜效率。
So I think we have a very high share at the present time in 4G and in the initial stages of 5G.
所以我認為我們目前在4G和5G的初始階段擁有非常高的份額。
And what we're seeing right now is, as I said, the 4G phase continues.
正如我所說,我們現在看到的是 4G 階段仍在繼續。
I think there are multiple years left where 4G will be the primary platform.
我認為 4G 將在未來幾年內成為主要平台。
But we're in the initial stages of 5G deployments.
但我們正處於 5G 部署的初始階段。
But really 5G has yet to materialize.
但真正的 5G 尚未實現。
When it comes to looking at the content, I would say, these new generations of 4G create 4x more content value for ADI.
當談到內容時,我想說,這些新一代 4G 為 ADI 創造了 4 倍以上的內容價值。
And of course, when we move to 5G with the higher-frequency systems, the microwave systems and the densification of these massive MIMO systems, there is another bump that we expect to get in content there.
當然,當我們轉向 5G 並使用更高頻率的系統、微波系統和這些大規模 MIMO 系統的緻密化時,我們預計內容中還會出現另一個障礙。
So -- and that's, by the way, before we add in the power management portfolio as well.
順便說一下,這也是在我們添加電源管理產品組合之前。
So as I've said before, for every $1 of analog content, of mixed-signal content, there's at least $1 of power.
正如我之前所說,每 1 美元的模擬內容、混合訊號內容,至少有 1 美元的功率。
And I'm pleased to say that we are at the early stages of attaching our LT power management portfolio to our 4G and 5G story as well.
我很高興地說,我們正處於將 LT 電源管理產品組合附加到 4G 和 5G 故事的早期階段。

First question, I'm intrigued by the investments you're doing in health care.
第一個問題,我對你們在醫療保健方面所做的投資很感興趣。
I assume that up until now, that's mainly sort of a B2B business.
我認為到目前為止,這主要是 B2B 業務。
But there seems to be a lot of things going on in the consumer side.
但消費者方面似乎發生了很多事情。
So should we expect ADI to participate both in B2B and in consumer when it comes to health care?
那麼,在醫療保健方面,我們是否應該期望 ADI 同時參與 B2B 和消費者領域?
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
It's a good question.
這是一個好問題。
Well, most of what we're doing is, for example in the more point-of-use, the clinical grid vital signs monitoring, we are focusing very much on the higher end of the sensing and signal processing activity there.
嗯,我們所做的大部分工作是,例如在更多的使用點、臨床網格生命徵象監測中,我們非常關注那裡的感測和訊號處理活動的高端。
So we're not -- true to form with ADI, we are focused on really solving the toughest problems and enabling consumers to wear new health care sensing technologies to predict and help monitor wellness and indeed recovery from health situations.
因此,我們與 ADI 一樣,專注於真正解決最棘手的問題,讓消費者能夠佩戴新的醫療保健感測技術來預測和幫助監測健康狀況,甚至從健康狀況中恢復。
So I would say that the way to think about this, Tore, is that we're going to be focused largely on more B2B type activities.
因此,Tore,我想說,思考這個問題的方法是,我們將主要關注更多 B2B 類型的活動。

So as I mentioned in the prepared remarks, we had committed to some additional cost synergies relating to the shutdown of 2 sites that we acquired as part of the LTC acquisition.
正如我在準備好的演講中提到的,我們承諾與關閉作為 LTC 收購一部分的 2 個站點相關的一些額外成本協同效應。
And these shutdowns should generate an incremental $100 million of cost synergies, all of which is in cost of goods.
這些停工應該會產生 1 億美元的增量成本協同效應,所有這些都計入商品成本。
To help us through that transition, we're going to be needing to put a little bit more inventory internally on to our balance sheets.
為了幫助我們完成這項轉變,我們需要在資產負債表上增加一些內部庫存。
And hard to kind of pinpoint too much at this early stage, but we're estimating around 5 days is what would be necessary to kind of carry us through the -- bridging the closure of those 2 facilities.
在這個早期階段很難確定太多,但我們估計大約需要 5 天的時間才能完成這兩個設施的關閉。
And then once those facilities are up and running, we'll burn that off.
一旦這些設施啟動並運行,我們就會將其燒掉。

Back to the sell-in accounting.
回到銷售會計。
So if I compare the new revenue profile with the old one, I note a considerable amount of revenue, particularly from industrial that moved from the second half of '18 to the first half.
因此,如果我將新的收入狀況與舊的收入狀況進行比較,我會注意到相當大的收入,特別是從 18 年下半年轉移到上半年的工業收入。
As you said, you built in the first and sold off in the second, and it shows up in the change.
正如您所說,您在第一個項目中進行了建設,在第二個項目中進行了出售,這在變化中體現出來。
But it was a lot of revenue.
但收入卻是不少。
Was the magnitude of this drawdown bigger than what you would typically see in your ordinary patterns, just maybe given the stronger demand environment we had in the first half?
考慮到上半年我們的需求環境更加強勁,這種回撤的幅度是否比您通常在普通模式中看到的幅度更大?
I guess, maybe, just to put in other words, like, is the magnitude of the drawdown in the channel that we saw in the second half bigger than what we would see?
我想,也許,換句話說,我們在下半年看到的頻道回檔幅度是否比我們看到的還要大?
And is the channel right now leaner than when it ordinarily be in a normal second half?
現在的管道是否比正常下半年時更精簡?

Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
Thanks, Stacy.
謝謝,史黛西。
Let me break that into 2 pieces.
讓我把它分成兩個部分。
So first, if you think back to last year, it was around summer that we were one of the first companies to indicate that we were beginning to see some challenge in the factory automation space, given what was going on, particularly with China.
首先,如果你回想去年,大約在夏天,我們是第一批表示我們開始在工廠自動化領域看到一些挑戰的公司之一,考慮到正在發生的事情,特別是在中國。
So being proactive on that, we began to constrain the amount of inventory going into the channel in preparation of the uncertain times ahead.
因此,我們積極主動地開始限制進入通路的庫存量,為未來的不確定時期做好準備。
So yes, last year, we did see a more significant kind of correction to inventory in the channel in the second half given the macro environment.
所以,是的,去年,考慮到宏觀環境,我們確實看到下半年通路庫存出現了更顯著的調整。
As we -- so now setting that up for this year, now that we are on sell-in accounting, that creates for some tough comps in the first half.
正如我們現在為今年設定的那樣,現在我們正在進行銷售會計,這將在上半年創造一些艱難的業績。
And again, as we move into the second half now, we'll also be lapping the softer business environment as well as the inventory channel correction.
再說一次,隨著我們現在進入下半年,我們還將經歷疲軟的商業環境以及庫存管道的調整。
So we do feel pretty good that the growth kind of gets better for industrial from here on forward.
因此,我們確實感到非常高興,從現在開始,工業成長會變得更好。
And in terms of what's in the channel, today, we're at about 7.5 weeks, and that's kind of right in the range that we guide to.
就頻道中的內容而言,今天我們的時間約為 7.5 週,這正好在我們指導的範圍內。
As Vince mentioned, and this is important, we focused running the business on a POS basis.
正如 Vince 所提到的,這一點很重要,我們專注於在 POS 基礎上經營業務。
So the inventory in the channel for us is striking that balance in what is necessary to serve our customers, and it's less about kind of managing a particular revenue number.
因此,我們通路中的庫存在服務客戶所需的方面達到了平衡,而不是管理特定的收入數字。
It is -- POS is what drives our decisions on what we put in the channel.
POS 是我們決定在頻道中投放什麼內容的動力。

So you were kind of flattish year-over-year in Q1.
所以第一季的業績較去年同期持平。
You're guiding kind of flattish in Q2.
您在第二季的指導有點平淡。
But at the same time, you're talking about continually investing in new opportunities.
但與此同時,您正在談論不斷投資新機會。
So I guess, in particular, given the current situation which does seem somewhat uncertain, how should we be thinking about OpEx growth maybe relative to revenue growth as we go through the rest of the year?
因此,我想,特別是考慮到目前的情況似乎確實有些不確定,在今年剩下的時間裡,我們應該如何考慮相對於收入成長的營運支出成長?
Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
Yes.
是的。
I would say that, if you think historically, there has been a sort of a meaningful change in OpEx when we move from first quarter to second quarter.
我想說的是,如果你從歷史角度思考,當我們從第一季轉向第二季時,營運支出發生了某種有意義的變化。
We told you in the last earnings call that, that would not be the case this year, that our first quarter would be a little bit higher but that -- and there were some one-timers that we talked about in the last call, but we're behind that.
我們在上次財報電話會議上告訴過您,今年的情況不會是這樣,我們第一季的業績會稍高一些,但是——我們在上次電話會議中談到了一些一次性的人,但是我們支持這一點。
And as we move through the balance of the year, we're expecting OpEx to be relatively flattish.
隨著今年剩餘時間的推移,我們預計營運支出將相對持平。
The biggest driver on frankly will continue to be variable compensation, which is designed to adjust the spend in line with the profit and the revenue growth.
坦白說,最大的推動因素仍然是可變薪酬,旨在根據利潤和收入成長調整支出。
R&D today runs at about 18% of revenue, and we really consider that fully funded.
如今的研發費用約佔營收的 18%,我們確實認為研發資金充足。
So we will work within that envelope to deliver the product development needs that are required.

Gross margin came down, I assume that was just mix with sort of B2B sort of hurting a little bit and consumer coming in stronger.
毛利率下降了,我認為這只是與 B2B 受到一點傷害以及消費者變得更強大有關。
How are you expecting to manage the factory or the fab, and therefore, the utilization and gross margin in the coming few quarters?

But we expect that utilization will increase in the second quarter and through the rest of our fiscal year here.
但我們預計第二季和本財年剩餘時間的使用率將會增加。
So we'll, I think, keep a pretty high level of utilization.
因此,我認為我們將保持相當高的利用率。
And also, the 70.3% margins that we posted in the first quarter, as the mix towards industrial improves, we would expect also the gross margin to improve.
此外,我們在第一季發布的 70.3% 的利潤率,隨著工業結構的改善,我們預計毛利率也會改善。
So I think, utilization is in good shape across the company, and I think as well we are probably seeing what would be the lower point of the gross margin activity right now, and that will certainly improve as the industrial business improves.
因此,我認為,整個公司的利用率狀況良好,而且我認為我們現在可能會看到毛利率活動的最低點,隨著工業業務的改善,這肯定會有所改善。

And do remember that we are left -- this was the current quarter where we have the typical holiday shutdown.

I'm going to do the first part and let Vince take the second part.
我將完成第一部分,讓文斯完成第二部分。
So as I said in the prepared remarks, we moved some customers who were direct into the channel.
正如我在準備好的演講中所說,我們將一些直接進入該管道的客戶轉移了。
So as a result, there was a little bit of build in inventory associated with that.
因此,與此相關的庫存有所增加。
Normally that would not be revenue for us, remember that.
請記住,通常這不會成為我們的收入。
And the growth, if you want to think about what does the auto growth do to sell-in, that would have been a flat number.
而成長,如果你想考慮汽車成長對銷售的影響,那將是一個持平的數字。
So auto growth in the quarter, as we think about it, natural demand was flattish.
因此,正如我們所想,本季的汽車成長自然需求持平。
And we would say that the -- for the first half, we kind of expect that to be flattish because the second quarter is going to have the corresponding offset from what we -- from the inventory build that we had in the first quarter.
我們會說,對於上半年,我們預計會持平,因為第二季將與第一季的庫存建設產生相應的抵消。
Channel inventory overall was kind of minimal quarter-over-quarter.
渠道庫存總體環比處於最低水準。
So auto was up, but the other markets were down.
因此汽車市場上漲,但其他市場下跌。
With that let me -- let Vince talk to kind of longer-term auto growth.
讓我——讓文斯談談長期的汽車成長。
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director

So we're expecting to the -- through 2018, the ADI specific, the legacy ADI portion of our business grew in the high-single digits.
因此,我們預計到 2018 年,我們業務中 ADI 特定的、傳統的 ADI 部分將實現高個位數成長。
The LT portion was in the lower single digits.
LT 部分位於較低的個位數。
But let me tell you a couple of things that we've been driving hard in our business.
但讓我告訴您一些我們在業務中一直努力推動的事情。
Our BMS, the battery management solutions, that were legacy LTC, we've been growing that in double digits over the past 3 quarters or so.
我們的 BMS(電池管理解決方案)是傳統的 LTC,在過去 3 個季度左右的時間裡,我們一直以兩位數的速度成長。
And we're looking at the remainder of this year, the full 2019 as a double-digit growth year in that particular area.
我們預計今年剩餘時間,即整個 2019 年,該特定領域將實現兩位數成長。
And in fact, I think Prashanth indicated in his CapEx remarks that one of the reasons we're increasing CapEx is to enable us to put the equipment in place to get our products to market faster in that particular area and to put the test coverage that we need as well in our back-end.
事實上,我認為Prashanth 在他的資本支出評論中指出,我們增加資本支出的原因之一是使我們能夠將設備到位,以便將我們的產品更快地推向該特定領域的市場,並將測試覆蓋範圍我們的後端也需要。
I'm glad to say as well that we're winning incremental power sockets in the automotive sector.
我也很高興地說,我們正在贏得汽車行業的增量電源插座。
We're bringing power to new customers.
我們正在為新客戶帶來力量。
And we've seen just in this last quarter, in fact our power portfolio grew in the automotive sector on a year-over-year basis.
事實上,我們在上個季度看到,我們在汽車領域的電源組合比去年同期成長。
Legacy ADI, our infotainment business, continues to flourish, and we're winning many premium audio sockets.
我們的資訊娛樂業務傳統 ADI 繼續蓬勃發展,我們贏得了許多優質音訊插座。
And also attaching LT power again to everything that we do in the automotive area.
我們也將 LT 電源再次應用到我們在汽車領域所做的一切。
So we've just launched as well some very exciting high-resolution radar technology at the 77-gigahertz level, so that's yet to come.
因此,我們剛剛推出了一些非常令人興奮的 77GHz 等級的高解析度雷達技術,所以這還沒有到來。
But all the early indications are that we're starting to get traction there.
但所有早期跡像都表明我們正在開始在那裡獲得關注。
So I think we've many technologies and product areas that are well aligned with the critical themes in automotive around autonomy and electrification.
因此,我認為我們有許多技術和產品領域與汽車領域圍繞自動駕駛和電氣化的關鍵主題非常契合。
And we now have the best portfolio in the industry to attack these opportunities.

Automotive is going to be down year-over-year, as we talked about the sell-in versus sell-through accounting.
正如我們討論的銷售與銷售會計核算一樣,汽車行業將同比下降。
So for auto, I would think, look at basically first half '19 flattish versus first half '18.

Pull that together, it increases slightly sequentially.
把它們放在一起,它會依次稍微增加。
And that's even with, I'll call, the offset of auto being a bit weaker because of the sell-in accounting.
即使是這樣,我會說,由於銷售會計的原因,汽車的抵銷額有點弱。
If you took that away, B2B is up probably 2%, 3% year-on-year.

We have an opportunity pipeline now both on legacy ADI and LT legacy power products, in particular, that is at an all-time record high.
我們現在在傳統 ADI 和 LT 傳統電源產品方面都有機會,尤其是,這是歷史最高水準。
So we're busily converting that pipeline across-the-board, and we've a broader and deeper position in the automation sector.
因此,我們正在忙於全面轉換該管道,並且我們在自動化領域擁有更廣泛、更深入的地位。
We've extended our reach into electronic test and measurement, which complements our more vertically oriented memory test area quite well.
我們已將業務範圍擴展到電子測試和測量領域,這很好地補充了我們更垂直的記憶體測試領域。
And the energy sector as well is doing well for the company and on a year-over-year basis has been growing.

So -- all the things we do around sensing, measuring, interpreting, powering and connecting, those technologies are getting used in more and more places in the industrial sector and in the aerospace and defense as well.

我想你說過你將 8000 萬美元從通訊轉移到了消費者。
Could you describe what you're moving over and kind of the growth profile of that chunk of revenue?
您能否描述一下您正在轉移的內容以及這部分收入的成長?
Michael C. Lucarelli - Director of IR
Michael C. Lucarelli - Director of IR
Tom, this mainly relates to prosumer business.
湯姆,這主要涉及產消者業務。
So think of like Polycoms and that type of stuff for conference calls, that -- those type of things we moved from comms.
因此,想想 Polycom 以及用於電話會議的那種東西,我們從通訊中轉移出來的那種東西。
The legacy for Linear were in communications, we put those into consumer where ADI puts them, as prosumer typically is a GDP-plus business growth wise.
Linear 的遺產在於通訊領域,我們將其投入 ADI 投入的消費者領域,因為產消者通常是 GDP+ 業務成長的明智者。

It was customer mapping as we continue to finish the integration process with LTC.
當我們繼續完成與 LTC 的整合流程時,這就是客戶映射。
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Yes.
是的。
So it's basically the nonportable stuff, and it looks and feels like a B2B business.
所以它基本上是不可移植的東西,而且看起來和感覺起來都像 B2B 業務。
Lots of customers and products and longer product life cycles when compared to the portable area.
與便攜式區域相比,擁有大量的客戶和產品,且產品生命週期更長。
So that's the change that's taking place.
這就是正在發生的變化。

You guys were talking about how 4G is really still strong and you guys are seeing the 4x content increase for massive MIMO ahead of what people are really excited about in 5G.
你們正在談論 4G 如何仍然強大,你們看到大規模 MIMO 的內容增加了 4 倍,領先於人們真正興奮的 5G。
Can you kind of talk about the timing of that?
能談談具體時間嗎?
And how much legs, you think, are left of that before that 5G transition?
您認為在 5G 過渡之前還剩下多少腿?
Should that happen in the next couple of quarters?
這應該在接下來的幾個季度發生嗎?
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Well, different people have different definitions of what constitutes 4G and 5G.
那麼,不同的人對4G和5G的定義不同。
I would say anything that is 4G with a massive MIMO connected to it is 4.5G, some people call that 5G.
我想說,任何連接有大規模 MIMO 的 4G 都是 4.5G,有些人稱之為 5G。
So that's already in play, and that's one of the strongest growth drivers in our portfolio.
所以這已經在發揮作用,這是我們投資組合中最強勁的成長動力之一。
And I think that will be the story for, at least, another 12 to 18 months.
我認為這種情況至少還會持續 12 到 18 個月。
I think it's going to be the very advanced 4G technologies that are beginning to utilize that bridge technology to 5G, which is massive MIMO.
我認為非常先進的 4G 技術將開始利用 5G 的橋樑技術,即大規模 MIMO。
I see true massive -- true 5G being a 2021, '22 introduction point.
我認為真正的大規模——真正的 5G 是 2021 年、22 年的引進點。
So I think -- you will see trials, of course, in the meantime of the classical microwave-driven 5G, but I think that's still a couple of years out.
所以我認為,當然,在傳統的微波驅動 5G 的同時,你會看到試驗,但我認為這還需要幾年的時間。

Our next question is from William Stein, SunTrust.
我們的下一個問題來自 SunTrust 的 William Stein。
William Stein - MD
William Stein - MD
First, I'd like you to remind us about the capital allocation strategy for the company.
首先,請您提醒我們有關公司的資本配置策略。
There was a dividend increase.
股息增加。
Also taking a step back, you're now below 2 turns of net leverage.
同樣退後一步,您現在的淨槓桿率低於 2 圈。
There was for a time a concern around leverage that's clearly behind us now.
曾經有一段時間,人們對槓桿的擔憂顯然已經過去了。
But the last 2 acquisitions you did, Hittite and Linear, I think, are proving very successful.
但我認為,你最近兩次收購 Hittite 和 Linear 都非常成功。
And in the context of the broader capital allocation strategy, I'm hoping you might comment on your appetite for M&A, which has been, maybe gone a little bit out of style in the last year or so, but I would suspect should still be on the top of ADI's mind given the success you've had?
在更廣泛的資本配置策略的背景下,我希望您能評論一下您對併購的興趣,這種興趣在去年左右可能已經有點過時了,但我懷疑仍然應該是鑑於您所取得的成功,ADI 的首要考慮因素是什麼?
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Well, the first call on our capital is to make sure that we invest to the fullest extent in building the greatest products and getting these products to market.
嗯,對我們資本的首要要求是確保我們最大程度地投資於打造最好的產品並將這些產品推向市場。
So that's the first call.
這是第一通電話。
And we're investing, in fact our OpEx is at a record level this year, our fixed OpEx.
我們正在投資,事實上我們的營運支出今年處於創紀錄的水平,我們的固定營運支出。
And so that's the first call on capital.
這是對資本的第一次呼籲。
We have committed to returning all our free cash flow after debt repayment to our shareholders.
我們承諾在償還債務後將所有自由現金流返還給股東。
We -- that's the track we're on.
我們——這就是我們正在走的軌道。
We are very happy with where we are right now as a company with the combination of ADI legacy, Hittite and LT.
作為一家結合了 ADI 傳統、Hittite 和 LT 的公司,我們對目前的處境感到非常滿意。
So we're still integrating LT and creating the leverage that we know we can create with that franchise.
因此,我們仍在整合 LT 並創造我們知道可以利用該特許經營權創造的槓桿作用。
So that's where we are right now.
這就是我們現在的處境。
And we've been doing some tuck-in acquisitions over the last 12 months, we'll continue to do that, but I think, that's the way to think about it right now.
過去 12 個月我們一直在進行一些收購,我們將繼續這樣做,但我認為,這就是現在考慮的方式。

Do you have a follow-up, Will?

William Stein - MD
William Stein - MD
Yes.
是的。
I'm wondering if you can comment on the degree to which you believe the trade conflict has been hurting your business.
我想知道您是否可以評論一下您認為貿易衝突對您的業務造成的損害程度。
I think it's clear, there has been some effect, maybe not as much as others because, in particular of the comm strength, but to what degree you see that already embedded in orders?
我認為很明顯,已經產生了一些影響,可能沒有其他影響那麼大,因為,特別是通信強度,但您看到這種影響在多大程度上已經嵌入到訂單中?
And what you think sort of the future holds if there is a trade agreement in regards to your backlog and your trend of business?
如果就您的積壓訂單和業務趨勢達成貿易協議,您認為未來會怎樣?

I just want to get to your question on orders.
我只想回答你關於訂單的問題。
So -- I know that's probably on many people's minds.
所以——我知道這可能是很多人的想法。
January orders were stronger than December.
1 月訂單強於 12 月。
Now that's not unusual for us, but it is a good sign, and that was strength in orders across all of our B2B markets.
現在這對我們來說並不罕見,但這是一個好兆頭,這就是我們所有 B2B 市場訂單的強勁表現。
Now February has Chinese New Year, so there's a lot of noise in that.
現在二月是農曆新年,所以有很多噪音。
But going into the Chinese New Year, orders remained strong.
但進入農曆新年,訂單依然強勁。
And while it is a noisy metric, and we do -- but we do look at it, our 4-week book-to-bill is higher than both our 8-week and our 13-week.
雖然這是一個嘈雜的指標,但我們確實觀察了它,我們的 4 週訂單到帳單高於我們的 8 週和 13 週。
But I do want to emphasize that is a very noisy metric, but for whatever that's worth.
但我確實想強調,這是一個非常吵雜的指標,但無論其價值如何。

And our next question comes from John Pitzer, Crédit Suisse.
我們的下一個問題來自瑞士信貸銀行的約翰‧皮策 (John Pitzer)。
John William Pitzer - MD, Global Technology Strategist and Global Technology Sector Head
John William Pitzer - MD, Global Technology Strategist and Global Technology Sector Head
Both of mine are relative to the comms business.
我的兩個都與通信業務有關。
I guess, Vince, when I adjust for the extra week and the change in accounting, the comms business was up north of 40% year-over-year in the January quarter, just excellent results.
我想,文斯,當我根據額外的一周和會計變化進行調整時,一月份季度的通訊業務同比增長了 40% 以上,業績非常出色。
But as you start to kind of lap the law of large numbers and hard compares, what do you think the sustainable growth rate in the comms business should be over a longer period of time?
但是,當您開始遵循大數定律和硬比較時,您認為通訊業務在較長時間內的可持續成長率應該是多少?
I guess, if you look at the last several quarters, you've grown revenue on a quarterly basis by almost $100 million.
我想,如果你看看過去幾個季度,你會發現每季的營收成長了近 1 億美元。
I'm wondering if you could help us break down the buckets of that growth between sort of massive MIMO, 5G, Hittite.
我想知道您是否可以幫助我們分解大規模 MIMO、5G、Hittite 之間的成長。
And maybe to follow on to Will's question.
也許可以繼續威爾的問題。
There is some concern out there that perhaps you're seeing a pull-in from some of your Chinese customers relative to concerns about their ability to get parts or tariffs.
有人擔心,也許您會看到一些中國客戶的參與,因為他們擔心他們獲得零件或關稅的能力。
Are you seeing any sort of pull-ins in these numbers or not?
您是否看到這些數字有任何拉動?
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Vincent T. Roche - President, CEO & Director
Well, I think, there probably is some.
嗯,我想,可能有一些。
And I don't see anything unnatural in the numbers incidentally.
順便說一句,我並沒有看到這些數字有什麼不自然的地方。
But there is obviously some pull-in.
但顯然有些吸引力。
There is anxiety around the current trade tension situation.
當前的貿易緊張局勢令人擔憂。
But also remember, there are -- particularly in China, there are planned releases of advanced 4G systems and the trialing of 5G systems, so that's taking place.
但也要記住,特別是在中國,計劃發布先進的 4G 系統並試驗 5G 系統,所以這一切正在發生。
I think our story is dominated primarily by the fact that we have much more content than we've ever had historically in these systems of ever increasing complexity.
我認為我們的故事主要是由這樣一個事實主導的:在這些日益複雜的系統中,我們擁有比歷史上更多的內容。
It's -- off the top of my head, John, it's hard to give you a breakdown of what the individual pieces are in terms of the contribution from legacy ADI, Linear and Hittite.
John,我突然想到,很難向您詳細介紹各個部分對傳統 ADI、Linear 和 Hittite 的貢獻。
But as I mentioned in the prepared remarks and certainly in the Q&A here, we're beginning to see the early stages of LTC power being adopted.
但正如我在準備好的發言中以及此處的問答中提到的,我們開始看到 LTC 電源被採用的早期階段。
So the portfolio today is largely dominated by legacy ADI mixed signal.
因此,今天的投資組合主要由傳統的 ADI 混合訊號主導。
We're at the early stage of adoption of LT.
我們正處於採用 LT 的早期階段。
And Hittite is a tremendous source of strength in the higher frequency -- connect the -- products that connect to the antenna.
Hittite 是連接天線的高頻產品的巨大力量來源。
And all that said, my expectation is with the content and with the expectations of our customers, that that business will grow at double-digits for the next several years.
儘管如此,我的期望是,隨著內容和客戶的期望,該業務將在未來幾年以兩位數成長。

Well, I was just going to say on the 4x content story, what percentage of your comms revenue does that content story cover?
好吧,我只是想說關於 4x 內容故事,該內容故事佔您的通訊收入的百分比是多少?
Or are you really kind of guiding that at some point in the future we can go back and look at a quarterly revenue run rate that's kind of 4x what it was maybe 2 or 3 years ago?
或者你真的在指導我們在未來的某個時候可以回顧一下季度收入運行率,大約是 2 或 3 年前的 4 倍?

So at a high level, John, 2018 was really about share gains on traditional 4G.
John,從較高的層面來看,2018 年實際上是關於傳統 4G 份額的成長。
Doesn't really include that 4x content.
並不真正包含 4x 內容。
That 4x content comment relates to, as you move to more radios and massive MIMO, the radios go up by 8x, the content opportunity for us up to 4x, and we're adding Linear power on to that.
4x 內容評論涉及到,當您轉向更多無線電和大規模 MIMO 時,無線電將增加 8 倍,我們的內容機會將增加到 4 倍,並且我們將在此基礎上添加線性功能。
So that's really in the future.
所以這確實是未來的事。
So at a high level, '18 is about 4G share gains, '19 and beyond will be about moving to massive MIMO and the 4x content.
因此,從較高的層面來看,'18 涉及 4G 份額的成長,'19 及以後將涉及轉向大規模 MIMO 和 4x 內容。

I guess to follow-up on a handful of the previous questions.

Your industrial business definitely proved more resilient than I think most of us were thinking coming in.
事實證明,你們的工業業務確實比我們大多數人想像的更有彈性。
And so just curious, how much of that do you think was a result of moving to sell-in versus your particular portfolio?

Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah - Senior VP of Finance & CFO
I would say, none of that was really due to sell-in.
我想說,這一切都不是真正因為拋售造成的。
Remember that industrial business largely goes through the channel.
請記住,工業業務很大程度上是透過管道進行的。
We have a very tough compare in the first half because in 2018, we built inventory in the channel, so that is primarily the industrial business.
我們在上半年進行了非常艱難的比較,因為2018年我們在通路中建立了庫存,所以這主要是工業業務。
As I mentioned in my prepared remarks, we saw growth in aerospace, defense, electronic test and measurement, which more than helped to offset the headwind we had in automation and memory test, which we've signaled some time ago.
正如我在準備好的演講中提到的那樣,我們看到了航空航天、國防、電子測試和測量領域的增長,這極大地幫助抵消了我們在自動化和內存測試方面遇到的阻力,我們不久前已經表示過這一點。
The book-to-bill is above parity.
訂單出貨比高於平價。
So a little bit lower than normal, but that's already reflected in our outlook.
比正常水平稍低一些,但這已經反映在我們的前景中。
I mentioned orders have gotten better.
我提到訂單已經變得更好了。
So I think, Vince made the comment, we think we continue to grow from here.

How are you thinking about seasonality?

Michael C. Lucarelli - Director of IR
Yes, I think 2Q is usually the low point of the year for that business, just given the demand there.
是的,我認為第二季通常是該業務一年中的最低點,考慮到那裡的需求。
And if you think about it, on last call, Vince highlighted that we think consumer will be down 10% to 20% in fiscal '19, and that's kind of what we're sticking to for outlook.
如果你仔細想想,在上次電話會議上,Vince 強調我們認為 19 財年消費者支出將下降 10% 到 20%,這也是我們對前景的堅持。
