RF and Automotive segment net revenues increased 15% to $52 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $45 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. RF and Automotive segment net revenues increased 14% to $155 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $137 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Our identification and high voltage products increased 59% and 26%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 over the same period last year and increased 77% and 22%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 over the same period last year, driven by higher shipments for vehicle networking products (LIN/IVN applications). In addition, revenues increased 8% and 23% for foundry products sourced from our Colorado Springs fabrication facility for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Our net revenues in Asia increased $43 million, or 17%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 and increased by $215 million, or 34% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in this region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to higher shipments of our microcontroller products as a result of improved demand in customer end markets for smartphone and other consumer-based products. Net revenues for the Asia region were 63% and 60% of total net revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 58% and 54%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Our net revenues in Europe increased $7 million, or 6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 and increased by $24 million, or 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in this region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, resulted primarily from improved automotive and industrial markets, partially offset by the sale of our SMS business and declining demand for our Cell Based Integrated Circuit, or CBIC, products. Net revenues for the Europe region were 24% and 25% of total net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 24% and 28% of total net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
