Analog Devices, Inc. today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2014, which ended November 1, 2014. "During the fourth quarter order rates were stable and ADI executed very well, resulting in record revenue and earnings growth that was near the high end of our guidance," said Vincent Roche, President and CEO. "Our cash flow and balance sheet remained strong and we returned $304 million to shareholders through dividends and increased share repurchases."

“We are planning for revenue in the first quarter to be in the range of $745 million to $775 million, which at the mid-point represents an increase of 21% year-over-year,” said Mr. Roche. “We are carefully managing factory utilization rates and expenses, and positioning ADI for better operating leverage, which is likely to come as early as our second quarter.”

ADI also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on December 16, 2014 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on December 5, 2014.
