SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1998--Actel Corporation (NASDAQ:ACTL - news) today announced its financial results for the second quarter and first six months of 1998.

Net revenues for the second quarter were $37.2 million, compared with $38.5 million for the first quarter of 1998 and $40.8 million for the second quarter a year ago. This represents a decrease of 3 percent from the first quarter of 1998 and a decrease of 9 percent from the second quarter of 1997.

Net income for the second quarter of 1998 was $3.4 million, a decrease of 5 percent from first quarter 1998 net income of $3.6 million and a decrease of 31 percent from second quarter 1997 net income of $4.9 million. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were 16 cents per share for the second quarter of 1998, compared with 17 cents per share for the first quarter of 1998 and 23 cents per share for the second quarter a year ago.

For the six month period ended June 28, 1998, Actel reported net revenues of $75.6 million and net income of $7.0 million, or 31 cents per share, compared with net revenues of $80.6 million and net income of $9.5 million, or 43 cents per share, for the first six months of 1997. This represents a decrease in net revenues of 6 percent and a decrease in net income of 26 percent.

Unit sales of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in the second quarter of 1998 remained flat compared with the first quarter of 1998, while the overall average selling price (ASP) of FPGAs decreased by 3 percent. Compared with the second quarter a year ago, FPGA unit sales were flat while the overall ASP of FPGAs declined 9 percent.

John East, president and CEO, stated, ''We're not happy that revenue declined from first quarter levels, but on a positive note, we announced our new SX family during the second quarter, and the response has been extremely positive. Our high reliability business was strong in Q2. The level of activity on the MX family continues to be robust, both in terms of bookings and revenue, and all of the products in that family are now available. We continue to focus on new product design wins in order to set the table for the future.''
