Analog Devices, Inc. today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2017, which ended October 28, 2017 including fourth-quarter revenue of $1.54 billion, up 8% sequentially and up 54% year-over-year on a GAAP basis.

"The fourth quarter of 2017 drove a strong finish to the fiscal year, with high-quality revenue growth and operational execution that expanded gross and operating margins, and delivered stellar earnings per share growth," said Vincent Roche, President and CEO.

"Looking ahead to the seasonally-slower first quarter of fiscal 2018, we are planning for revenue to be in the range of $1.44 billion to $1.54 billion, which includes the benefit of a 14th week in the quarter.

"At the mid-point of this guidance range, we expect revenue to increase year-over-year, led by the highly diverse industrial market," Roche concluded.

ADI also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per outstanding share of common stock, representing an annual dividend per share of $1.80.
