SMSC Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results

Hauppauge, N.Y. – January 10, 2011 – SMSC (NASDAQ: SMSC) today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2011, ended November 30, 2010.

Highlights for the third quarter of fiscal 2011:
 
·
Record revenue of  $107.0 million,
 
·
Record Automotive market revenue of $19.1 million,
 
·
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.52.

Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $107.0 million, an increase of three percent sequentially and an increase of 23 percent when compared to the same period in the prior year.  This included approximately $2.7 million in sales from SMSC’s acquisition of Symwave, Inc. Non-GAAP gross margin was 55.4 percent and the GAAP gross margin was 52.1 percent.   Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $12.0 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $7.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $4.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $6.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the same prior year period. Non-GAAP income from operations was $15.8 million compared to a GAAP loss from operations of $8.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.  The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP results was primarily driven by adjustments for stock-based compensation of $18.9 million (primarily fair market adjustments to stock appreciation rights based on the increase in SMSC’s share price in the three month period ended November 30, 2010) and other adjustments mostly related to merger and acquisition activities.

“Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 of $107.0 million set a new record for SMSC,” said Christine King, President & Chief Executive Officer.  “All of the key markets we serve have remained relatively healthy.  Our Automotive market sales achieved record revenue in the third quarter and grew by five percent sequentially. Consumer Electronics revenue, which includes sales from the Symwave acquisition, grew by four percent sequentially.  PC revenue grew two percent and Industrial revenue grew slightly after five quarters of significant sequential growth.  On a year-over-year basis, sales into all end markets produced robust double-digit growth.  During the third quarter, we closed on the Symwave acquisition, which expanded our USB product portfolio into USB to SATA for SuperSpeed USB applications.  We believe the addition of this highly experienced analog team will accelerate our broad connectivity road maps.”
 
Ms. King continued, “Though we are entering the seasonally slower period in our annual cycle, we expect to end fiscal 2011 with more than $400 million in revenue, which will be a record for SMSC, and we expect non-GAAP earnings per share to improve by more than three times from fiscal 2010 earnings per share of $0.46.”
 
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company generated $9.2 million in cash from operations.  Cash and investments increased by $9.1 million sequentially to $188.5 million.

Business Outlook
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company expects:

·
Revenue in the range of $96 to $99 million,
·
Non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately 54 percent,
·
Non-GAAP operating expenses to be approximately flat sequentially,
·
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.20 to $0.24.

The unaudited non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including the business outlook, exclude charges and credits for stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units and stock options associated with the accounting pursuant to FASB ASC 718, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges and related accelerated depreciation on certain test equipment, executive transition costs, costs associated with business acquisition related activities including the impact of writing up the cost of acquired inventory and the revaluation of contingent consideration, and litigation settlement expenses.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Included within the press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company's actual results prepared under GAAP to exclude certain charges. In the schedules attached to this press release, the non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to and should be considered together with the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.

These non-GAAP measures are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. The Company's management believes that this information assists in evaluating operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate SMSC’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.  SMSC also presents unaudited non-GAAP supplemental vertical market information to provide additional insight into underlying operating performance on a comparable basis.  Guidance is presented on a non-GAAP basis only, given that the GAAP basis charges for equity-based compensation related to SARs cannot be projected reasonably.

Forward Looking Statements
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this announcement are forward-looking statements about expected future events and financial and operating results that involve risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different from those discussed in forward-looking statements. Our risks and uncertainties include the timely development and market acceptance of new products; the impact of competitive products and pricing; our ability to procure capacity from our suppliers and the timely performance of their obligations, commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange, potential investment losses as a result of liquidity conditions, the effects of changing economic and political conditions in the market domestically and internationally and on our customers; our ability to realize the expected benefits of acquisitions; our relationships with and dependence on customers and growth rates in the personal computer, consumer electronics and embedded and automotive markets and within our sales channel; changes in customer order patterns, including order cancellations or reduced bookings; the effects of tariff, import and currency regulation; potential or actual litigation; and excess or obsolete inventory and variations in inventory valuation, among others. In addition, SMSC competes in the semiconductor industry, which has historically been characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change, cyclical market patterns, price erosion and periods of mismatched supply and demand.

Our forward looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations and may not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers or divestitures. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and are based upon the information available to SMSC at this time. Such statements are subject to change, and the Company does not undertake to update such statements, except to the extent required under applicable law and regulation. These and other risks and uncertainties, including potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation, are detailed from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the SEC. Investors are advised to read the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly those sections entitled “Other Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results” or “Risk Factors” for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.

To eliminate compensation expense for stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), employee stock purchase plan, restricted stock units and stock options as recorded under GAAP applicable in each period presented. Cash paid in connection with exercises of SARs totaled $0.2 million and a negligible amount in the three month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company does not include charges related to restricted stock awards in these non-GAAP adjustments, as they were issued primarily in connection with the Company’s annual employee incentive compensation program.
