NORWOOD, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 17, 2016 — Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2016, which ended July 30, 2016.

“We executed well in the third quarter and delivered revenue and diluted earnings per share results that exceeded our revised guidance,” said Vincent Roche, President and CEO. “During the quarter, we also announced the proposed acquisition of Linear Technology Corporation, a combination that will create a trusted analog industry leader, capable of delivering tremendous benefits to our customers, our employees, and our shareholders.”

By end market, we expect the industrial, automotive, and communications infrastructure markets, in the aggregate, to remain largely stable to their third quarter levels, and to increase in the low-to-mid-single digits compared to the prior year.
