SemiLEDs Reports Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2012
Financial Results
Hsinchu, Taiwan (April 5, 2012) — SemiLEDs Corporation (NASDAQ: LEDS), a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, ended February 29, 2012. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $7.9 million, a 21% decrease compared to $10.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
“Given the ongoing challenging industry environment, we are pleased with our quarterly financial and operational results. Our strategy of pursuing the indoor lighting market has proved successful as it continues to improve our revenue growth, and we remain cost conscious in areas of the business that won’t impede our innovation and technology advantage,” said Trung Doan, Chairman and CEO of SemiLEDs. “We look forward to working within a better economic climate but for the time being we continue to maintain the slow, steady growth and improvement that we have shown over the last two quarters,” concluded Doan.
GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $7.1 million, or a loss of $0.26 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $1.2 million, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $6.1 million, or a loss of $0.22 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $0.7 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was negative 9%, compared with positive gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 of 23%. Operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was negative 73%, compared with negative 6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Margins continue to improve through continued expense management.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $66.4 million at the end of the second quarter, compared to the prior quarter ending balance of $74.0 million. Cash used in operations was $4.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Financial Outlook
For its third quarter of fiscal 2012 ending May 31, 2012, SemiLEDs expects revenue in a range of $7.9 million to $8.9 million with GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $7.5 million to $7.0 million, or a loss of $0.27 to $0.25 per diluted share, based on an estimated 27.5 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 and related tax effect.
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.
