— Semiconductor maker Standard Microsystems Corp. on Tuesday reported lower net income for its fiscal second quarter as higher expenses offset an 8 percent revenue boost.
Its outlook for the current quarter also fell below Wall Street’s expectations and the company’s shares tumbled in after-hours trading.
Standard Microsystems posted net income of $11.9 million, or 51 cents a share, for the quarter ended Aug. 31, down from $12.9 million, or 57 cents a share, a year earlier.
After adjusting for one-time items like restructuring charges, the company said it earned 36 cents a share in the latest quarter. That missed analysts’ estimates by a penny, according to a FactSet survey.
Among higher expenses was a rise in research and development spending to $22.6 million from $19.8 million a year before. Its adjusted gross margin was 54.6 percent, down from 57.4 percent.
It reported revenue of $112.6 million, up from $104.1 million a year earlier, and in line with analysts’ estimates. T

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo pointed out last week that harsher laws against texting while driving in the state have led to a significant increase in the number of tickets handed out to violating drivers. August, which was the first full month that the toughened texting-while-driving laws were in place, saw more than twice as many tickets doled out than the previous August. NY police issued tickets to 1,082 drivers for texting-while driving infractions in August after averaging 427 tickets per month in the first half of 2011. “We were serious when this law passed: texting while driving is illegal and the law is being enforced, so don’t do it,” Governor Cuomo said. The harsher legislation made texting-while-driving a primary offense, which means that police officers can now pull over a driver solely for a texting violation. In addition, the updated laws also increased the fine for violating drivers to $150 and increased the penalty from a two- to a three-point offense.
