Cypress Reports Fourth-Quarter and Year-End 2010 Results

 

   

TrueTouch™ and PSoC revenue exceeded expectations and set new records

 

   

Handset revenue increased 27% sequentially

 

   

Fiscal 2010 revenue increased 32% year-over-year

 

   

Cash flow from operations in 2010 totaled $270 million, up 202% from 2009

 

   

Q1 revenue expected to outperform normal negative seasonality

SAN JOSE, Calif., January 27, 2011 — Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced that non-GAAP1 revenue for the 2010 fourth quarter was $226.6 million, down 2.3% from $231.9 million for the prior quarter, and up 16.8% from $194.0 million for the year-ago period. GAAP revenue for the 2010 fourth quarter—which included a reduction of $6.3 million due to the accounting treatment for settling a long-standing civil antitrust lawsuit on SRAMs—was $220.3 million.

Cypress recorded GAAP net income of $9.1 million in the 2010 fourth quarter, or diluted earnings per share of $0.05. This compares with last quarter’s diluted earnings per share of $0.18 and a diluted earnings per share in the year-ago fourth quarter of $0.02.

Non-GAAP1 net income for the 2010 fourth quarter—excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, the SRAM legal settlement, restructuring and other special charges and credits—totaled $50.6 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.25. That compares with non-GAAP1 diluted earnings per share of $0.28 for the prior quarter and diluted net earnings per share of $0.16 for the year-ago fourth quarter.

For the fiscal year 2010, Cypress posted total non-GAAP1 revenue of $883.8 million, an increase of 32.3% from fiscal year 2009 revenue of $667.8 million. On a GAAP basis, Cypress posted total revenue of $877.5 million, an increase of 31.4% from fiscal 2009 revenue of $667.8 million.

On a non-GAAP1 basis, Cypress’s fiscal year 2010 diluted earnings per share was $0.94, compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.10 in 2009. On a GAAP basis, Cypress’s fiscal year 2010 diluted net earnings per share was $0.40, compared with a diluted net loss per share of $1.03 in 2009.

Cypress President and CEO T.J. Rodgers said, “Cypress’s fourth-quarter revenue decreased 2% sequentially, beating seasonally down trends. The strength came from our CCD division which grew 10% sequentially due to very strong TrueTouch touchscreen revenues, which drove our overall mobile handset revenues up 27%. Gross margins and cash flow remained strong during the quarter and we continued to keep our expenses under tight control.

“It was a very good year for Cypress and its shareholders,” Rodgers said. “Our 2010 revenue grew 32% year-over-year, rebounding strongly from a tough 2009. Diluted earnings per share increased by more than a factor of nine, and our stock price appreciation of 76% exceeded all major indexes by a wide margin. Our flagship PSoC and TrueTouch products achieved record revenue and design wins. Our SRAM revenue, which grew 43% for the year, continues to generate strong profits and cash flow.

“Bookings for our PSoC-powered touchscreen controllers and optical finger navigation businesses extend into Q2,” Rodgers said. “Our Q4 book-to-bill was 1.35, due to strong new design wins and bookings for our touchscreen products. We also expect Q1 revenue to exceed normal negative seasonal trends.”


BUSINESS REVIEW

+ Non-GAAP1 consolidated gross margin for the fourth quarter was 59.1%, down 1.1 percentage points from the previous quarter, as expected, due to product mix.

+ Fourth-quarter net inventory increased $12.9 million quarter-on-quarter, as we increased our die bank profiles to support significant new designs and higher than previously expected revenues. Net inventory increased 11.6% on a year-over-year basis.

+ Cash and investments totaled $458.0 million, or $2.69 per basic share and did not include $43.9 million invested in our yield enhancement program which was invested over the end of the quarter and matured in mid-January, returning $47.0 million in cash.

+ The company repurchased 1.9 million shares at an average cost of $17.40 per share during Q4. The amount remaining at the end of Q4 on the stock repurchase program is $567 million.

FOURTH-QUARTER 2010 HIGHLIGHTS

+ Our TrueTouch touchscreen solutions—which allow the ability to read 10 touches at once—continued to register robust design wins and set new design win records during the quarter: Samsung Electronics selected TrueTouch™ to drive its new Wave 2 and Galaxy 5 smartphones. Acer used TrueTouch its dual-screen ICONIA notebook computer, the industry’s first 10-finger touchscreen based on a multichip solution for screens up to 14 inches. Tokyo-based KDDI designed TrueTouch into the popular, new IS03 Android smartphone manufactured by Sharp Communication Systems Group. HTC selected TrueTouch for its HTC 7 Surround and HTC 7 Mozart mobile smartphones, which are based on the Windows® Phone 7 Series recently introduced by Microsoft.

+ Cypress announced that it will more than triple its manufacturing capacity in 2011 to meet the rapidly expanding demand for its TrueTouch™ touchscreen controllers and next-generation PSoC products. The expansion, which will be complete in the third quarter, is already underway. TrueTouch offers the industry’s fastest, most accurate touchscreen user experience.

+ Cypress announced production availability of a new, high-performance single-chip TrueTouch solution for large multitouch touchscreens up to 11.6 inches. The solution opens up increased market opportunities for Cypress in the fast-growing tablet PC market and other large touchscreen markets.

+ The Acer ICONIA, a notebook computer with dual 14-inch touchscreens powered by Cypress’s TrueTouch technology, was named top product at the tenth annual “Last Gadget Standing” competition at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2011). The Barnes & Noble Color Nook e-reader, which also features TrueTouch, was the “People’s Choice Award” winner.

+ Cypress shipped its 750 millionth PSoC programmable system-on-chip in the third quarter, marking one of the fastest-ever embedded product ramps. PSoC began commercial shipments in 2002. Powerful new PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 solutions dramatically improve the analog performance and processing power of PSoC 1, expanding Cypress’s addressed market from $1.6 billion to more than $15 billion.

+ PSoC played a pivotal role in the recent rescue of 33 Chilean miners. A PSoC-enabled camera, which provided the first images of the trapped miners, was designed by Cypress customer Central California Video Engineering & Manufacturing. A single PSoC chip replaced a two-inch-wide circuit board in the superslim camera, enabling it to be dropped down a borehole to the miners.

+ Epson selected Cypress’s CapSense® capacitive touch solution to control buttons and LED prompts on four new printer models, including the Artisan 725, Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD, Epson Stylus Photo TX720WD, and Epson Stylus Photo PX660. Cypress is a world-leader in capacitive touch sensing, having replaced more than 3.5 billion mechanical buttons.

+ Pioneer chose Cypress’s CapSense solution to implement the capacitive touch-sensing controls in its SD8200 family of cordless digital phones. A single CapSense device controls 22 capacitive buttons on the phones and illuminates the buttons when selected.

+ Cypress announced that Microsoft’s new Arc Touch Mouse has a CapSense-driven touch scroll strip to navigate documents and web pages, rather than a traditional mechanical scroll wheel.


+ Cypress announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq:ONNN) under which ON will acquire Cypress’s CMOS image sensor business unit for approximately $31.4 million in cash, pending the completion of various closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The companies expect the transaction to close before the end of the first quarter of 2011.

+ Cypress announced that Macy’s is replacing about 117,000 traditional incandescent light bulbs in 86 stores nationwide with Cypress-powered LED lamps from lighting designer MSi that use about 73 percent less energy.

+ Cypress introduced the industry’s first radiation-hardened 72-MBit QDR II SRAMs. The new SRAMs employ Cypress’s patented RadStop™ technology, which enables uncompromised functionality in the face of radiation doses of up to 300 kRads. The SRAMs operate at speeds up to 250 MHz with throughput of up to 36 gigabits per second, and are designed for aerospace and military applications.

+ Cypress announced two new 65 nm Quad Data Rate™ (QDRII™ and QDRII+) and Double Data Rate (DDRII and DDRII+) SRAMs at 36-Mbit and 18-Mbit densities. Cypress offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of 65-nm synchronous SRAMs, which includes densities up to 144 Mbits and speeds up to 550 MHz.

+ AgigA Tech announced that its AGIGARAM™ Non-Volatile System (NVS) has been named the Most Innovative New Product of 2010 in the Hardware and General Technology category at the 23rd CONNECT Awards hosted by CONNECT, a San Diego-based nonprofit dedicated to creating and sustaining innovative technology.

+ Cypress announced that it has registered more than 20,000 users in its Cypress Developer Community™, an online environment with forums, videos and blogs that enables Cypress customers to share design techniques about PSoC® and other Cypress products.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Cypress uses non-GAAP financial measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to exclude certain items, as described in details below. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional and useful way of viewing aspects of Cypress’s operations that, when viewed in conjunction with Cypress’s GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and trends affecting Cypress’s business and operations. Non-GAAP financial measures used by Cypress include:

 

   

Gross margin;

 

   

Research and development expenses;

 

   

Selling, general and administrative expenses;

 

   

Operating income (loss);

 

   

Net income (loss); and

 

   

Diluted net income (loss) per share.

Cypress uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when providing its financial results and business outlook to the public, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Cypress’s operational and financial performance of current and historical results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for strategic and business decision making, internal budgeting, forecasting and resource allocation processes. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Cypress’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.

Cypress believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the GAAP financial results, are useful to investors because they allow investors to see Cypress’s results “through the eyes” of management as these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Cypress’s internal measurement processes. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to better assess changes in each key element of Cypress’s operating results across different reporting periods on a consistent basis. Thus, management believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with another method for assessing Cypress’s operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon Cypress’s reported financial results. Management compensates for these limitations by providing investors with reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures supplement, and should be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors should review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the accompanying press release.

As presented in the “Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:


   

Stock-based compensation expense.

Stock-based compensation expense relates primarily to the equity awards such as stock options and restricted stock. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond Cypress’s control. As a result, management excludes this item from Cypress’s internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for stock-based compensation provide investors with a basis to measure Cypress’s core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by stock-based compensation as a result of the variety of equity awards used by companies and the varying methodologies and subjective assumptions used in determining such non-cash expense.

 

   

Changes in value of Cypress’s key employee deferred compensation plan.

Cypress sponsors a voluntary deferred compensation plan which provides certain key employees with the option to defer the receipt of compensation in order to accumulate funds for retirement. The amounts are held in a trust and Cypress does not make contributions to the deferred compensation plan or guarantee returns on the investment. Changes in the value of the investment in Cypress’s common stock under the plan are excluded from the non-GAAP measures. Management believes that such non-cash item is not related to the ongoing core business and operating performance of Cypress, as the investment contributions are made by the employees themselves.

 

   

Restructuring charges.

Restructuring charges primarily relate to activities engaged by management to make changes related to its infrastructure in an effort to reduce costs. Restructuring charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities and such costs have not historically occurred in each year. Although Cypress has engaged in various restructuring activities in the past, each has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from Cypress’s non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare Cypress’s period-over-period operating results from continuing operations.

 

   

Acquisition-related expense.

Acquisition-related expense primarily includes: (1) amortization of intangibles, which include acquired intangibles such as purchased technology, patents and trademarks, and (2) earn-out compensation expense, which include compensation resulting from the achievement of milestones established in accordance with the terms of the acquisitions. In most cases, these acquisition-related charges are not factored into management’s evaluation of potential acquisitions or Cypress’s performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to Cypress’s core operating performance. Adjustments of these items provide investors with a basis to compare Cypress against the performance of other companies without the variability caused by purchase accounting.

 

   

Investment-related gains/losses.

Investment-related gains/losses primarily include: (1) impairment loss related to Cypress’s investment when it determines the decline in fair value is other-than-temporary in nature, and (2) gains/losses related to the sales of its debt and equity investments. These items are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not related to the core operating activities and operating performance of Cypress, and in most cases, such transactions have not historically occurred in every quarter. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude investment-related gains/losses from Cypress’s non-GAAP financial measures, as it enhances the ability of investors to compare Cypress’s period-over-period operating results.


   

Impairment of assets.

Cypress wrote down the book value of certain assets to its estimated fair value as management determined these assets will be donated, sold or will have no future benefit. Cypress excludes these items because the expense is not reflective of its ongoing operating results. Excluding this data allows investors to better compare Cypress’s period-over-period performance without such expense.

 

   

SRAM legal settlement.

Cypress has settled the SRAM civil antitrust lawsuits. Cypress excludes these items because the legal settlements are not reflective of its ongoing operating results. Excluding this data allows investors to better compare Cypress’s period-over-period performance without such expense.

 

   

License royalty.

License royalty represents the historical impact of a license agreement signed in the fourth quarter of 2009. These historical costs are excluded from Cypress’s non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of Cypress’s business and can distort the period-over-period comparison.

 

   

Gains on sales of long-term assets.

Cypress recognizes gains resulting from the sale of certain long-term assets that no longer align with Cypress’s long-term operating plan. Cypress excludes these items from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of Cypress’s business and can distort the period-over-period comparison.

 

   

Tax effects.

Cypress adjusts for the income tax effect that resulted from the non-GAAP adjustments as described above. Additionally, Cypress also excludes the impact of items that are related to historical activities in nature and not reflective of the ongoing operating results of Cypress.
