"MPS had an outstanding third quarter with sequential organic revenue growth of 13.2%; well above industry average," said Michael Hsing, CEO and founder of MPS. “We continue to closely monitor the macroeconomic conditions and to control expenses. We are well positioned with new product revenue ramping in multiple market segments for 2014 and beyond.”
Business Outlook
The following are MPS’ financial targets for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2013:
|
● |
Revenue in the range of $61 million to $65 million. |
|
● |
Gross margin between 53.5% and 54.5%. |
|
● |
GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses between $25.0 million and $26.8 million. Non-GAAP(1) R&D and SG&A expenses between $20.0 million and $21.0 million. This excludes an estimate of stock-based compensation and deferred compensation plan expenses in the range of $5.0 million to $5.8 million. |
|
● |
Fully diluted shares outstanding between 39.7 million and 39.9 million before shares buyback. |
(1) Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses differ from net income, earnings per share, operating expenses, R&D and SG&A expenses determined in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States). Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 exclude the effect of stock-based compensation, deferred compensation plan expenses, a one-time cash award and their related tax effects. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and deferred compensation plan expenses. Projected non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and deferred compensation plan expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A schedule reconciling non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this press release. MPS utilizes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to assess what it believes to be its core operating performance and to evaluate and manage its internal business and assist in making financial operating decisions. MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of MPS’ core operating results and trends. Additionally, MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by other companies are not likely to be comparable in most cases to the non-GAAP financial measures used by MPS.
