Synaptics Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results

 

   

Revenue up 9%; non-GAAP EPS up 19%, sequentially

 

   

Product mix drives further expansion of gross margin percentage

 

   

Strong new product line-up announced at Consumer Electronics Show

Santa Clara, CA – January 26, 2012 – Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $145.5 million compared with $159.6 million for the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $17.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared with net income of $17.7 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $23.0 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $25.4 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)

“Our second quarter performance reflects a 9% sequential increase in revenue and a further expansion of our gross margin percentage, driving strong operating leverage. Year-over-year revenue continues to be impacted, as anticipated, by our product transition in mobile and a continued soft PC market,” stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO. “Synaptics is advancing the touch market with new technologies driven by our industry-leading systems-engineering expertise, including our recently announced Design Studio 4 tools with SignalClarity, our in-cell and integrated display driver technology for mobile touchscreens, our leadership in the growing Ultrabook market, and our new ClearPad 7300 high-performance single chip offering for the large touchscreen tablet market.”

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, non-PC revenue of $78.4 million, consisting almost entirely of mobile phone touchscreen applications, decreased 11% from the year ago quarter. Mobile unit volume continued to grow substantially, with revenue impacted by the product mix transition from integrated touchscreen modules to lower priced, higher gross margin chip or tail touchscreen solutions. PC revenue of $67.1 million decreased 6% from the comparable quarter last year, primarily reflecting lower PC peripherals revenue, and represented 46% of net revenue.

Cash at December 31, 2011 totaled $282.5 million. Cash flow from operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $29.2 million.

Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, “Overall visibility remains limited amidst global macroeconomic concerns. Considering our backlog of approximately $69.0 million, customer forecasts, and the resulting expected product mix, we anticipate revenue for the third quarter to be in the range of $128.0 million to $136.0 million. We expect both PC and non-PC revenue to be down sequentially based on seasonal trends.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items is not a measurement of the company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. The company presents net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance. The company believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences in net income caused by the existence and timing of share-based compensation charges and unusual or non-recurring items. Net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in solation or as a substitute for the company’s GAAP net income. The principal limitations of this measure are that it does not reflect the company’s actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its net income and net income per share.
