SANTA CLARA, CA, December 6, 1995 - National Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:NSM) today reported fiscal 1996 second quarter revenues of $711.6 million, a 22 % increase over the comparable quarter last year. Sales of analog and mixed signal products, the core of National's focus on markets for moving and shaping information, grew by 27 % during the quarter.Net income for the quarter ended November 26, 1995 was $79.8 million, or 57 cents per share (fully diluted), compared with $67.0 million, or 49 cents per share (fully diluted) for the comparable quarter of fiscal 1995. Overall gross margin also increased to 44 %, versus 43.1 % last year.
"It's clear that our focus on analog and mixed signal market opportunities is continuing to drive growth in both revenues and profit," said Gilbert F. Amelio, chairman, president and chief executive officer.
"Analog and mixed signal sales grew to 58 % of total revenues, compared with 56 % a year ago," he added. "These products provide gross margins in excess of 50 %."
Summary of results:
Second quarter ended: November 26, 1995 November 27, 1994 Net Sales $ 711.6 $ 584.4 Net Income $ 79.8 $ 67.0 Earnings per share (fully diluted) $ 0.57 $ 0.49(All figures in millions of dollars, except per share amounts)
For the first six months of fiscal 1996, ended November 26, 1995, the company reported revenues of $1,410.4, up 24 % from the first half of fiscal 1995 revenues of $1,138.2 million.

Summary of results:
Six months ended: November 26 1995 November 27 1994 Net Sales $1,410.4 $1,138.2 Net income $ 153.3 $ 126.0 Earnings per share (fully diluted) $ 1.10 $ 0.91(All figures in millions of dollars, except per share amounts)
Pre-tax profit as a percent of sales improved to 14.9 % for the second quarter of fiscal 1995, compared with 14.3 % in the second quarter last year. The company continued to fully utilize its wafer fabs while expanding capacity by 26 % since the second quarter of fiscal 1995. This investment in capacity was enhanced by a matching increase in submicron CMOS process development. The company continued to shift research and development resources toward analog and mixed signal products, which received 73 % of total R&D spending in this year's second quarter, versus 69 % last year.
During the quarter, National signed an agreement to sell its wholly owned subsidiary, DynaCraft, Inc. (DCI), to Malaysia Pacific Industries. The sale is expected to close during the third quarter, pending necessary governmental approvals. The company also sold the adapter card segment of its Local Area Network business.
New order rates were up 10 % overall and nearly 25 % for analog and mixed signal products, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 1995. Overall bookings and new orders for analog and mixed signal products were essentially flat with the summer quarter. Within the analog and mixed signal segment, however, particularly strong order increases were booked during the second quarter in Audio products, Analog Telecommunications, Local Area Network products, Wireless Communications and PC Products. Bipolar Logic and EPROM orders were down more than 40 % from their levels in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and down 25 to 35 % from the summer quarter as the company continues to harvest older logic products and de-emphasize the merchant market for EPROMS.
On a regional basis, orders in North America were up year over year, as well as from the summer quarter. European bookings increased from the comparable quarter last year, but were down from the first quarter of this year. Orders in Japan decreased slightly from fiscal 1995 levels as well as from first quarter levels. Bookings from Southeast Asia increased from both the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and from the summer quarter levels.
