SemiLEDs Reports Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013
Financial Results
Hsinchu, Taiwan (April 11, 2013) — SemiLEDs Corporation (NASDAQ: LEDS), “SemiLEDs” or the “Company,” a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, ended February 28, 2013.
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $4.8 million, a 39% decrease compared to $7.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $6.0 million, or a net loss of $0.22 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $7.1 million, or a net loss of $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
“Demand has improved; however, the pricing environment for the general lighting market remains challenging,” said Trung Doan, Chairman, President and CEO. “I believe we are on the right track and this is a turning point for SemiLEDs. From an execution standpoint, we need to focus on profitable markets and control cost,” concluded Doan.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $5.4 million, or a net loss of $0.19 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $6.1 million, or a net loss of $0.22 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was negative 69%, compared with gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 of negative 9%. Operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was negative 145% compared with negative 73% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was negatively impacted by reduction in revenues, a decrease in the average selling price of LED chips, and an excess capacity charges for our LED chips.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $43.9 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to the first quarter fiscal 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $39.3 million and short-term investments consisting of time deposits with initial maturities of greater than three months but less than one year of $8.3 million. Cash used in operating activities was $4.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

The public is invited to listen to a live webcast of the conference call on the Investors section of the Company’s website at http://investors.semileds.com/events.cfm.

About SemiLEDs
SemiLEDs develops and manufactures LED chips and LED components primarily for general lighting applications, including street lights and commercial, industrial and residential lighting, along with specialty industrial applications such as ultraviolet (UV) curing, medical/cosmetic, counterfeit detection, and horticulture. SemiLEDs sells blue, green and UV LED chips.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
SemiLEDs has provided in this press release adjusted financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 items required to be included by GAAP: non-cash stock-based compensation charges and the related tax effect, if any. In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, SemiLEDs also uses free cash flow as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow represents cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
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 to GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
