Super Micro Computer, Inc. Announces 4th Quarter 2012 Financial Results
SAN JOSE, Calif., August 7, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), a leader in application optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced fourth quarter and full-year financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
Fiscal 4th Quarter Highlights

Quarterly net sales of $275.9 million, up 14.9% from the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 and up 6.0% from the same quarter of last year.
   
Net income of $5.5 million, down 22.1% from the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 and down 48.7% from the same quarter of last year.

Gross margin of 15.4%, down from 17.0% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 and consistent with the same quarter of last year.

Server Solutions accounted for 44.6% of net sales compared with 48.5% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 and 40.4% in the same quarter of last year.

Net sales for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2012 totaled $275.9 million, up 14.9% from $240.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $5.5 million or $0.12 per diluted share, a decrease of 48.7% from the net income of $10.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the same period a year ago. Included in net income for the quarter is $2.8 million of stock-based compensation expense (pre-tax). Excluding this item and the related tax effect, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $8.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $13.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior year. On a sequential basis, non-GAAP net income decreased from the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 by $0.7 million or $0.01 per diluted share.
Gross margin for the fourth quarter and the same period a year ago was both 15.4%. Non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter and the same period a year ago was both 15.5%. Non-GAAP gross margin was 17.0% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short and long term investments at June 30, 2012 were $83.8 million compared to $75.2 million at June 30, 2011. Free cash flow for the year ended June 30, 2012 was ($5.5) million primarily due to an increase in inventory relating to the Sandy Bridge processors launched by Intel in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 and investments in property for our expansion overseas.
Fiscal Year 2012 Summary
Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $1.0 billion, up 7.6% from $942.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Net income for fiscal year 2012 decreased to $29.9 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, a decrease of 25.8% from $40.2 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2011. Excluding $10.3 million of stock based-compensation expense and the related tax effect, non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year 2012 was $38.6 million or $0.86 per diluted share, a decrease of 19.2% compared to $47.7 million or $1.10 per diluted share for fiscal year 2011.
Business Outlook & Management Commentary
The Company expects net sales of $270 million to $290 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 ending September 30, 2012. The Company expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.18 to $0.24 for the first quarter.
“We are pleased that we finished this challenging year with record high revenue for the June quarter and for the full fiscal year. Margins this quarter were impacted by the big price drop of some key components and in particular hard drives as well as higher expenses for R&D and promotions related to new product introductions,” said Charles Liang, CEO of Supermicro. "As we enter fiscal 2013 we are much better positioned for growth than ever, although we remain concerned regarding the overall economic environment. With a strong global presence and production capacity ramping in our Taiwan facility combined with our industry leading Sandy Bridge platforms including server, networking, storage and compete rack solutions, we are prepared not only to meet customer demand from the IT upgrade cycle but also to gain more market share. In addition, our unique new Fat Twin architecture promises to further differentiate our brand as the leading technology innovator in the server industry today."



It is currently expected that the outlook will not be updated until the Company’s next quarterly earnings announcement, notwithstanding subsequent developments. However, the Company may update the outlook or any portion thereof at any time. Such updates will take place only by way of a news release or other broadly disseminated disclosure available to all interested parties in accordance with Regulation FD.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release that are not historical fact may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements may relate, among other things, to our expected financial and operating results, our ability to build and grow Super Micro Computer, the benefits of our products and our ability to achieve our goals, plans and objectives. Such forward-looking statements do not constitute guarantees of future performance and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These include, but are not limited to: our dependence on continued growth in the markets for X86, blade servers and embedded applications, increased competition, difficulties of predicting timing, introduction and customer acceptance of new products, poor product sales, difficulties in establishing and maintaining successful relationships with our distributors and vendors, shortages or price fluctuations in our supply chain, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to control the rate of expansion domestically and internationally, difficulty managing rapid growth and general political, economic and market conditions and events. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested in any forward-looking statements are contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in such filings.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP gross margin discussed in this press release excludes stock-based compensation expense and accrued customs fee for prior periods. Non-GAAP net income and net income per share discussed in this press release exclude stock-based compensation expense, accrued customs fee for prior periods, a provision for litigation costs, and the related tax effect of the applicable items. Management presents non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operational performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, detailed reconciliations between the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP financial results is provided at the end of this press release. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the Company's SEC filings.
