Analog Devices Announces $2.5 Billion Accelerated Share Repurchase and Updates Fourth Quarter Outlook
WILMINGTON, Mass. – September 7, 2021 – Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) today announced that it has entered into multiple accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements to repurchase up to $2.5 billion of the company’s common stock. The ASR agreements will be completed under the company’s current share repurchase authorization, which has approximately $10 billion in authorization remaining. ADI is funding the repurchases under the ASR agreements from available cash.
Under the terms of the ASR agreements, ADI will receive initial deliveries of approximately 12.2 million shares on September 9, 2021, representing approximately 80% percent of the expected share repurchases under the ASR agreements, based on the company’s closing price of $163.27 on September 7, 2021. The final number of shares repurchased will be based on ADI’s volume-weighted average share price during the term of the transaction, less a discount. ADI expects that the repurchases will be completed by the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Updated Outlook for Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2021
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we are now forecasting revenue of $2.30 billion, +/- $70 million. ADI expects Maxim to contribute approximately $520 million of revenue to this updated outlook.
At the midpoint of this revenue outlook, we expect reported operating margin of approximately 32.5%, +/- 130 bps, and adjusted operating margin of approximately 43.1%, +/- 90 bps. We are planning for reported EPS to be $1.25, +/-$0.09, and adjusted EPS to be $1.69, +/-$0.09. This outlook assumes a diluted share count of approximately 487 million.
In the first full quarter after the combination, ADI expects its weighted average diluted share count to be approximately 530 million.
Adjusted EPS includes $0.44 of adjustments related to the net impact of acquisition related expenses, acquisition related transaction costs and restructuring related expense, net. This excludes acquisition related expenses associated with the Maxim acquisition, the impacts of which will be significant, as we cannot reasonably estimate the fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities acquired at this time.
Our fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 outlook is based on current expectations and actual results may differ materially, as a result of, among other things, the important factors discussed at the end of this release. These statements supersede all prior statements regarding our business outlook set forth in prior ADI news releases, and ADI disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Special Investor Conference Call and Webcast
As a reminder, ADI plans to host a webcast to discuss its updated capital allocation priorities and acquisition accretion timeline. The webcast is scheduled to begin at approximately 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on September 8, 2021 with Vincent Roche, President and Chief Executive Officer, Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah, Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, and Michael Lucarelli, Senior Director of Investor Relations.

Analog Devices Details Updated Capital Allocation Priorities & Accelerated Accretion Timeline for Maxim Acquisition
WILMINGTON, Mass. – September 8, 2021 – Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a leading global high-performance semiconductor company, today detailed its updated capital allocation priorities and accelerated the accretion timeline following the completion of its acquisition of Maxim Integrated on August 26, 2021.
“ADI has demonstrated a track record of operational excellence, strong cash flow generation and disciplined capital investments, including our recent acquisition of Maxim Integrated, that provides the foundation for an attractive capital allocation framework,” said Vincent Roche, President and CEO. “Our financial strength positions us to substantially invest in our business, while returning 100% of free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The decision to approve our accelerated share repurchase program and increase our total share repurchase authorization reflects our confidence in our future business performance and commitment to provide meaningful return to shareholders.”
Updated Capital Allocation Priorities
The company detailed the following capital allocation priorities in alignment with its commitment to return 100% of free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases on an investor webcast today:
a.Authorized a $2.5 billion accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program to be completed by the second quarter of 2022. After completion of this program, ADI expects to have a net leverage ratio of ~1x;
b.Plan to repurchase an additional $2.5 billion bringing total repurchases to approximately $5 billion by the end of calendar 2022, or around half of ADI’s current share repurchase authorization of about $10 billion; and
c.Continue to consistently grow its annual dividend with a target payout ratio of 40%-60% of free cash flow.
The regular quarterly dividend and share repurchases will be funded through available cash and future cash flow generation. The share repurchases will be executed in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and amounts determined by the company based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors and may be suspended, discontinued or resumed at any time.
Maxim Integrated Acquisition Earnings Accretion and Cost Savings
The acquisition of Maxim Integrated is now expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings in 12 months subsequent to closing, six months ahead of the initial timeline, and is expected to be neutral to adjusted earnings in fiscal 2022.
This accelerated timing relates to stronger business fundamentals, the company’s commitment to repurchase shares through an ASR and consistent buybacks, as well as the realization of more than 40% of phase I cost synergies during this time.
Additional efficiencies from infrastructure optimization begins in fiscal 2024 with revenue cross-selling opportunities in fiscal 2025 and beyond.
