SMSC Reports Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Results

Hauppauge, N.Y. – September 27, 2011 – SMSC (NASDAQ: SMSC) today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2012, ended August 31, 2011.

Highlights:
 
·
Record quarterly revenue at $112.6 million,
 
·
Record cash from operations of $30.5 million,
 
·
Cash and investments increased to $173 million,
 
·
Share repurchases totaled approximately $10 million during the quarter.

Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $112.6 million, an increase of approximately 8 percent when compared to the same prior year period and an increase of approximately 9 percent sequentially.  Second quarter revenue included $8.7 million in sales related to the BridgeCo acquisition. Non-GAAP gross margin was 54.6 percent compared to 57.4 percent for the same prior year period and 56.4 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. GAAP gross margin was 53.6 percent compared to 56.4 percent for the same prior year period and 53.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.   Non-GAAP net income was $8.4 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $11.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and $11.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $11.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $12.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share for the same prior year period and $6.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

“Despite a very challenging macro environment, SMSC delivered record revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2012,” said Christine King, President & Chief Executive Officer.  “Automotive and wireless audio sales were strong, with automotive reaching a record level in the second quarter.  Revenue from the BridgeCo acquisition exceeded our expectations and we look forward to continued growth in our wireless audio product line as consumers increasingly adopt wireless systems in the home and automobile.  Cash and investments grew to approximately $173 million and our cash flow and inventory positions improved significantly since the first quarter, the period in which we launched our business process reengineering effort in Asia.”
Ms. King continued, “For the third quarter, we expect sales in the range of $105 million to $110 million, down two to seven percent.  We expect modest sequential growth in consumer and automotive sales while PC and industrial sales are anticipated to decline.  For the second half of fiscal 2012, while computing and consumer demand is expected to be challenged, we anticipate continued growth in our automotive and wireless audio product sales.”
 
Business Outlook
Looking ahead to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company expects:

·
Revenue in the range of $105 to $110 million,
·
Non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately flat sequentially,
·
Non-GAAP operating expenses to be approximately flat sequentially,
·
The non-GAAP effective tax rate is estimated to be approximately 40 percent,
·
Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.30 to $0.37.

The unaudited non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including the business outlook, exclude charges and credits for stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units and stock options associated with the accounting pursuant to FASB ASC 718, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges and executive transition costs, costs associated with business acquisition related activities including transaction costs, inventory write-up and write-off on acquisitions, the revaluation of contingent consideration and compensation expense on acquisitions, and transaction costs related to the building sale and the gain on release of a claim liability.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Included within the press release are non-GAAP financial measures that supplement the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the Company's actual results prepared under GAAP to exclude certain charges. In the schedules attached to this press release, the non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to and should be considered together with the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.

These non-GAAP measures are not meant as a substitute for GAAP, but are included solely for informational and comparative purposes. The Company's management believes that this information assists in evaluating operational trends, financial performance, and cash generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate SMSC’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management. However, the non-GAAP financial measures should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.  SMSC also presents unaudited non-GAAP supplemental vertical market information to provide additional insight into underlying operating performance on a comparable basis.  Guidance is presented on a non-GAAP basis only, given that the GAAP basis charges for equity-based compensation related to SARs cannot be projected reasonably.

Forward Looking Statements
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this announcement are forward-looking statements about expected future events and financial and operating results that involve risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different from those discussed in forward-looking statements. Our risks and uncertainties include the timely development and market acceptance of new products; the impact of competitive products and pricing; our ability to procure capacity from our suppliers and the timely performance of their obligations, commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange, potential investment losses as a result of liquidity conditions, the effects of changing economic and political conditions in the market domestically and internationally and on our customers; our ability to realize the expected benefits of acquisitions; our relationships with and dependence on customers and growth rates in the personal computer, consumer electronics and embedded and automotive markets and within our sales channel; changes in customer order patterns, including order cancellations or reduced bookings; the effects of tariff, import and currency regulation; potential or actual litigation; and excess or obsolete inventory and variations in inventory valuation, among others. In addition, SMSC competes in the semiconductor industry, which has historically been characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change, cyclical market patterns, price erosion and periods of mismatched supply and demand.

Our forward looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations and may not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers or divestitures. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and are based upon the information available to SMSC at this time. Such statements are subject to change, and the Company does not undertake to update such statements, except to the extent required under applicable law and regulation. These and other risks and uncertainties, including potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation, are detailed from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the SEC. Investors are advised to read the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly those sections entitled “Other Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results” or “Risk Factors” for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
