Of the company’s total Q2/2007 revenue, $22.0m (59%) came from customers located outside the United States.

Hittite’s Q2/2007 net income was $12.2m ($0.39 per diluted share), up 19.1% compared with the $10.2m ($0.33 per diluted share) in Q2/2006, and slightly up on the $12.0m achieved in Q1/2007.

“We are pleased with our second quarter performance,” said Stephen Daly, Hittite’s chairman and CEO. “Increased international sales allowed us to deliver strong quarterly results. Our product development team introduced our fourteenth product line, Variable Gain Amplifiers (VGA), which will have wide appeal across multiple end markets. In total, we introduced 30 new products during the quarter across our product lines, in line with our plan for the year.”
