Super Micro Computer, Inc. Announces 2nd Quarter 2013 Financial Results
SAN JOSE, Calif., January 22, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), a leader in application optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced second quarter fiscal 2013 financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
Fiscal 2nd Quarter Highlights

Quarterly net sales of $291.5 million, up 7.7% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and up 16.6% from the same quarter of last year.
   
Net income of $4.9 million, up 446.6% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and down 66.3% from the same quarter of last year.

Gross margin of 13.8%, up from 12.9% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and down from 17.1% in the same quarter of last year.

Server solutions accounted for 43.3% of net sales compared with 39.5% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and 44.0% in the same quarter of last year.

Net sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2012 totaled $291.5 million, up 7.7% from $270.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $4.9 million or $0.11 per diluted share, a decrease of 44.0% from the net income of $8.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in the same period a year ago. Included in net income for the quarter is $2.9 million of stock-based compensation expense (pre-tax). Excluding this item and the related tax effect, non-GAAP net income for the second quarter was $7.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $11.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior year. On a sequential basis, non-GAAP net income increased from the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 by $4.8 million or $0.11 per diluted share.
Gross margin and non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter were each 13.8% compared to 17.1% in the same period a year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin was 13.0% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and short and long term investments at December 31, 2012 were $91.1 million compared to $83.8 million at June 30, 2012. Free cash flow in the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $2.8 million primarily due to a decrease in inventory for hard disk drives.
Business Outlook & Management Commentary
The Company expects net sales of $275 million to $295 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 ending March 31, 2013. The Company expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.17 to $0.21 for the third quarter.

“Net sales were a record high this quarter as we achieved 16.6% growth over last year, further demonstrating our ability to grow market share even during uncertain economic times. Our rackmount servers, especially FatTwin solutions, and our storage products were key drivers of our revenue this quarter. Profitability improved due to slightly better margins and better operating expense leverage. We remain focused on improving profitability.” said Charles Liang, CEO of Supermicro. "With our new architecture products and opportunities in new markets, as well as our diverse customer base, we look forward to continuing our market share growth."

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.

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.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP gross margin discussed in this press release excludes stock-based compensation expense for prior periods. Non-GAAP net income and net income per share discussed in this press release exclude stock-based compensation expense 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.
