Business Outlook

 

For the second quarter of 2014, Spansion estimates net sales in the range of $315 million to $340 million and GAAP diluted net loss per share of ($0.16) to ($0.09). Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be in the range of 32% to 35%, and non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.21 to $0.27.

These estimates also exclude charges related to defensive litigation of $1 million to $2 million, and one time items related to the recently acquired Fujitsu Microcontroller and Analog business including (i) $2 million to $3 million in inventory markup related to fair value accounting, and (ii) $2 million to $3 million in integration related costs.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

To provide investors and others with additional information regarding Spansion’s operating results, we have disclosed in this press release certain non-GAAP financial measures, including gross profit, operating income, net income, and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to, and not a substitute for or superior to, the company’s results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the company’s operating performance. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP information provides useful measures to investors regarding the company’s financial performance by excluding certain expenses that the company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. For more information on non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliations of such measures in the tables of this release.

 

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Spansion’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in Spansion’s business, as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results and provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Spansion’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. During the quarter ended March 30, 2014, the presentation of non-GAAP financial information included the addition of intangible amortization, stock compensation expense, acquisition related costs, litigation reserve, financing arrangements related costs and others to net income as they are either non-cash or non-recurring in nature. The amounts in the U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation below for litigation reserves include the impact of actual expense incurred and adjustments to the accrual for estimated defensive litigation costs for the next 4 quarters per Company policy. Actual expense incurred for defensive litigation was $0.7 million in Q4 2013 and $3.6 million in Q1 2014.
