Synaptics Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results

 

   

Strong year-over-year increase in gross margin

 

   

Expansion of mobile OEM customer base

 

   

First volume shipments of products utilizing the company’s latest industry-leading technologies

Santa Clara, CA – April 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 third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $131.7 million compared with $142.4 million for the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $11.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $13.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $17.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $19.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.) Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 included the impact of the higher average stock price during the quarter, which increased the diluted share count and reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.02.

“Our third quarter financial results were on target at the mid-point of our guidance range, and we posted continued strong gross margin performance, driving solid non-GAAP operating margins of 18%,” stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO. “During the quarter, we expanded our customer base with flagship designs at key mobile OEMs and achieved important milestones with the initial volume shipments of our first ClearPad 3250 in-cell solution in a smartphone and our ClearPad 7300 single-ASIC large touchscreen solution in multiple tablets.”

Third Quarter 2012 Business Metrics

 

   

Revenue mix from PC and non-PC applications was approximately 49% and 51%, respectively.

 

   

PC revenue totaled $65.1 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year.

 

   

Non-PC revenue totaled $66.6 million, a decrease of 17% year-over-year, primarily reflecting mobile phone touchscreen applications. Mobile unit volume continued to grow substantially with revenue impacted by the product mix transition from modules to lower priced, higher gross margin chip and tail touchscreen solutions.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 47.4%, an increase of 670 basis points year-over-year.

 

   

Non-GAAP operating margin was 18%, up 200 basis points year-over-year.

 

   

Cash at March 31, 2012 totaled $324.1 million.

Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, “We are beginning to see some signs of recovery in the notebook PC market; however, visibility remains limited in the mobile market, reflecting market share and sell-through dynamics within our mobile OEM customer base. Considering our backlog of approximately $60 million entering the quarter, customer forecasts, and the resulting expected product mix, we anticipate revenue for the fourth quarter to be up on a sequential basis in the range of $133 million to $140 million.”

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 isolation 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.
