The main Irish arm of semiconductor manufacturer Analog Devices has paid out combined dividends of $5.42 billion (\u20ac4.67 billion) this year and in 2024.<\/p>\n

New accounts show that the Limerick based Analog Devices International UC has paid out the dividends as profits decreased by 72% to $487.78m in the 12 months to November 2 last.<\/p>\n

The drop in profits arose mainly from non-cash amortisation costs rising from $2.04 billion to $2.73 billion.<\/p>\n

Revenues at the firm increased by 4% from $8.18 billion to $8.55 billion during the 12 month period.<\/p>\n

In May 2023, the firm announced plans to build a \u20ac630m facility in Co Limerick, adding 600 jobs to its Irish workforce.<\/p>\n

The investment at its European regional headquarters in the Raheen Business Park involved the construction of a 45,000sq ft research, development, and manufacturing facility.<\/p>\n

The directors state that the results for 2024 “were in line with expectations”.<\/p>\n

The directors state that dividends of $3.18 billion were paid during 2024 and in a post balance sheet event the company paid further dividends of $2.247 billion to Analog Devices Limerick UC.<\/p>\n

Numbers employed increased by 131 from 1,626 to 1,757 during 2024.<\/p>\n

Staff was made up of 741 in manufacturing, 634 in engineering, 308 in marketing and 74 in administration as staff costs marginally increased to $195.77m.<\/p>\n

The directors state that gross margin decreased primarily as a result of a change in product mix.<\/p>\n

They state that the operating profit has decreased due mainly to the $695.9m increase in the amortisation of intangible assets while there was also an increase in distribution and administrative expenses of $388m to $1.83 billion.<\/p>\n

The company recorded post tax profits of $398.7m after incurring a corporation tax charge of $89m.<\/p>\n

Sounding an upbeat note, the directors state that “our diversified business model combined with our leading technology portfolio position the company to deliver sustainable long-term growth in the years ahead”.<\/p>\n

The directors state that the company has a purpose built European Research and Development Building at their Limerick campus and the R&D spend last year totalled $1 billion – up from a spend of $615.2m in 2023 on the design, development and improvement of new and existing products and manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

Directors’ pay totalled $2.19m made up of emoluments of $715,000, $1.42m on long term incentive scheme and $54,000 in pension contributions.<\/p>\n

At the end of December, the firm had shareholder funds of $26.74 billion. The company’s cash funds increased from \u20ac163m to \u20ac570.73m.<\/p>\n
