Lattice Semiconductor LSCC reported modest first-quarter 2025 results, with both adjusted earnings and revenues matching the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate. The Hillsboro-based semiconductor company reported revenue contraction year over year, owing to weak demand in multiple end markets and macroeconomic headwinds. Healthy traction in generative AI applications for data centers, in-cabin and advanced driver assistance systems in automotive and augmented reality and virtuality applications partially reversed the declining trends. Management’s strong focus on expanding the FPGA portfolio through innovations is a tailwind.
Net Income
On a GAAP basis, the company reported a net income of $5.02 million or 4 cents per share, compared with $14.8 million or 11 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The top-line decline year over year affected the net income.
Non-GAAP net income in the reported quarter was $30.7 million or 22 cents per share compared with $40.3 million or 29 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. However, the bottom line matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 22 cents per share. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
