Thank you, Rachel. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Skyworks' second-fiscal quarter 2020 conference call. With me today are Liam Griffin, our chairman, chief executive officer, and president; and Kris Sennesael, our chief financial officer. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that our discussion will include statements relating to future results and expectations that are or may be considered forward-looking statements.
Please refer to our earnings press release and recent SEC filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K, for information on certain risks that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially and adversely from any forward-looking statements made today. Additionally, the results and guidance we will discuss include non-GAAP financial measures consistent with our past practice.

Thanks, Mitch, and welcome, everyone. Despite a challenging macro backdrop, I am pleased to report that Skyworks delivered record second quarter results, with double-digit year-over-year growth both revenue and earnings per share. We continue to benefit from a broad and diverse product portfolio. And with an expanding set of customers in high-growth markets, we are well positioned to outperform in the current environment.
Looking at the quarter in more detail. We delivered record Q2 revenue of $1.34 billion, above consensus and up 14% compared to last year, highlighting both our growing content within Tier 1 mobile and the increasing diversification of our customer base and technology reach. In fact, our broad market revenue rose to a record $523 million in the quarter, up 10% sequentially and 36% year over year. In addition, we continue to drive solid profit margins, exceptional cash flow and consistent cash returns.
We achieved gross margin of 51.2% and operating margin of 36.8%. We posted earnings per share of $2.63, up 11% year over year. We generated operating cash flow of $393 million, and we returned $509 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Our strong results this quarter were driven by a vast expansion of use cases from content-rich smartphones to complex IoT devices, to innovative solutions for the automotive markets, industrial and infrastructure.
