SemiLEDs Reports Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2011

Financial Results

 

Hsinchu, Taiwan (July 7, 2011) — SemiLEDs Corporation (NASDAQ: LEDS), a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, ended May 31, 2011. Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $5.6 million, a 43% decrease compared to $9.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

“Our fiscal third quarter was challenging as pricing pressure and end demand weakness continued from the fiscal second quarter.  However, we are seeing pricing stabilize,” said Trung Doan, Chairman and CEO of SemiLEDs.  “We remain focused on improving our cost structure by accelerating our efforts to transition to four inch wafer production at our Taiwan facility, continuing to ramp four inch production volume at China SemiLEDs, as well as supporting our customers to maximize the benefits of our metal vertical chip structures to reduce the total cost of ownership.”

 

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $5.1 million, or a loss of $0.19 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $3.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company recorded a foreign currency transaction loss of $0.2 million in the quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $4.3 million, or a loss of $0.16 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $3.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was 9%, compared with 51% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Operating margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was negative 70%, compared with 36% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  Margins were negatively impacted by a charge of $1.1 million for the write-downs of inventory.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $94.4 million at the end of the third quarter, compared to the prior quarter ending balance of $102.6 million.  Cash used in operations was $3.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

Financial Outlook

 

For its fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 ending August 31, 2011, SemiLEDs expects revenue in a range of $5.5 million to $6.5 million with GAAP net loss of $6.7 million to $6.4 million, or a loss of $0.25 to $0.23 per diluted share, based on an estimated 27.3 million diluted weighted average shares. GAAP gross margin is expected to be negative.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

SemiLEDs has provided in this press release adjusted financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. SemiLEDs uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company’s operational performance. SemiLEDs believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in SemiLEDs’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.  The historical non-GAAP financial measures presented above exclude the following item required to be included by GAAP: non-cash stock-based compensation charges.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
