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.

It reported revenue of $112.6 million, up from $104.1 million a year earlier, and in line with analysts’ estimates. T
