PERICOM SEMICONDUCTOR REPORTS
FISCAL FIRST QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 
§
Q1 revenues decreased 18% sequentially and 17% year-over-year primarily as a result of economic softness and distribution inventory reductions.
 
§
Q1 GAAP gross margin increased by 50 bps sequentially and 150 bps year-over-year.
 
§
Q1 GAAP net income decreased 72% sequentially and 95% year-over-year.

San Jose, Calif. – November 1, 2011 - Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a worldwide supplier of high performance connectivity and timing solutions, today announced results for its fiscal 2012 first quarter ended October 1, 2011.

Net revenues for the first quarter were $35.3 million, a decrease of 18% from the $43.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, and down 17% from the $42.8 million reported in the comparable period last year. The revenue decrease primarily resulted from reduced end user demand due to economic softness and inventory reduction activities by our distributors and customers.

GAAP gross margin was 35.5% in the first quarter, up from 35.0% last quarter and from 34.0% in the comparable period last year. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 36.9% in the first quarter, which reflects exclusion of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and amortization of fair value adjustments and compensation expense accruals from the PTI acquisition. The comparable non-GAAP gross margins were 36.2% last quarter and 35.3% in the comparable period last year. The improvement in sequential gross margin primarily reflects favorable product mix from lower PC and consumer end-market shipments.

GAAP net income for the first quarter was $445,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the fourth quarter, and net income of $9.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in the comparable period last year. GAAP net income for all periods included share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of fair value adjustments, and other PTI acquisition related expenses. The comparable period last year included an $11.0 million gain on previously held shares of PTI. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $1.8 million or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with $3.6 million or $0.14 per diluted share in the fourth quarter, and non-GAAP net income of $4.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the comparable period last year.

The balance sheet remained very strong with cash and investments in marketable securities of $124 million or $5.06 per diluted share at the end of the first quarter.  Inventory decreased by $3.5 million or 16% in the first quarter, and it was the fourth consecutive quarter of a reduction in Pericom owned inventory. Trade accounts receivable decreased by $5.5 million as a result of lower volume, and DSO remained steady at 58.  At quarter-end, working capital was $106 million and the current ratio was 4.0.

”We were pleased about our gross magin improvement despite the lower revenue volume associated with the weak macro environment,” said Alex Hui, President and CEO of Pericom. ”The margin expansion reflects our strategic initiative to transition from low-margin commodity applications to higher value add platforms in enterprise computing and embedded segments.  Also, our continued reduction of inventory and overall strength of our balance sheet will allow us to deliver solid results once again when the rebound occurs.”

New Products
 
In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, Pericom introduced a total of 31 new products across the Signal Integrity, Timing, and Connectivity product areas.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this announcement of operating results contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the income statement effects of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustments of acquired inventory,  acquisition-related expenses, a one-time gain on the previously held interest in PTI, and the effects of excluding share-based compensation upon the number of diluted shares used in calculating non-GAAP earnings per share.

We have excluded share-based compensation expense in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.  These expenses are non-cash in nature and rely on valuations of the future market price of our common stock that is difficult to predict and is affected by market factors that are largely not within the control of management. We have excluded amortization of intangible assets, amortization of the fair value adjustments related to acquired inventory, acquisition related expenses, the gain on the previously held interest in PTI, and the corresponding tax effect because we do not consider them to be related to our core operating performance.

We use the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company’s current operating performance. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because we do not consider these charges either part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that are used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined under The Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements in this release include the statements under the captions ”Fiscal Q2 2012 Outlook”, which regard the anticipated revenues, gross margin, operating expenses, other income, and effective tax rate in the second fiscal quarter of 2012, and statements from our CEO regarding margin expansion, reductions in Pericom owned inventories, channel inventories reducing, potential industry slowdown due to macro-economic conditions, and other future expectations. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from what is set forth in such forward-looking statements due to a variety of risk factors, including softness in demand for our products, price erosion for certain of our products, unexpected difficulties in developing new products, customer decisions to reduce inventory, economic or financial difficulties experienced by our customers, or technological and market changes. All forward-looking statements included in this document are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and Pericom assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Parties receiving this release are encouraged to review our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 2, 2011, and in particular, the risk factors sections contained in that report.
