SemiLEDs Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year End 2014
Financial Results
Hsinchu, Taiwan (November 26, 2014) — 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 fourth quarter and full year of fiscal year 2014, ended August 31, 2014.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $2.3 million, a 33% decrease compared to $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $5.4 million, or a net loss of $0.19 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $17.9 million, or a net loss of $0.64 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
“As we discussed last quarter, in the fourth quarter we experienced a reduction in production capacity as we consolidated manufacturing facilities and relocated production equipment” said Trung Doan, Chairman, President and CEO. “With these actions now largely complete, we look forward to higher revenue in our target markets for the coming quarter,” concluded Doan.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $5.0 million, or a net loss of $0.17 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $7.3 million, or a net loss of $0.26 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Revenue for fiscal 2014 was $14.5 million, a 19% decrease compared to $18.0 million for fiscal 2013. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for fiscal 2014 was $24.5 million, or a net loss of $0.87 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $43.7 million, or a net loss of $1.58 per diluted share, for fiscal 2013.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for fiscal 2014 was $22.5 million, or a net loss of $0.80 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $27.8 million, or a net loss of $1.01 per diluted share, for fiscal 2013.
GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was negative 134%, compared with gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 of negative 103%. Operating margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was negative 251%, compared with negative 523% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $12.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to the third quarter fiscal 2014 ending balance of $16.1 million.

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, horticulture, architectural lighting and entertainment lighting. SemiLEDs sells blue, white, 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, non-cash impairment charges on long-lived assets, goodwill and investment and the related tax effect, of the applicable items, 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.
