SemiLEDs Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year End 2015

Financial Results

 

Hsinchu, Taiwan (December 15, 2015) — 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 2015, ended August 31, 2015.

 

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $3.1 million, an 11% decrease compared to $3.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $3.0 million, which is the same as the third quarter of fiscal 2015, or a net loss of $0.10 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.11 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

 

We are restructuring to move toward a fabless business model in which we will utilize Foundry Fabs to ODM our chips using our developed technology,” said Trung Doan, Chairman, President and CEO. “This will enable us to focus on our higher margin and less capital intensive Component business,” concluded Doan.

 

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $2.8 million, or a net loss of $0.10 per diluted share, which is the same as the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

 

Revenue for fiscal 2015 was $14.1 million, a 2% decrease compared to $14.5 million for fiscal 2014. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for fiscal 2015 was $13.3 million, or a net loss of $0.46 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $24.5 million, or a net loss of $0.87 per diluted share, for fiscal 2014.

 

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for fiscal 2015 was $12.0 million, or a net loss of $0.42 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $22.5 million, or a net loss of $0.80 per diluted share, for fiscal 2014.

 

GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was negative 33%, compared with gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 of negative 24%. Operating margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was negative 94%, compared with negative 88% in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $4.8 million at the end of fiscal 2015, compared to $6.0 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

Management’s Prepared Remarks

 

In conjunction with the dissemination of this release, SemiLEDs will post management’s prepared remarks for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2015 financial results on the Investors section of its 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, 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, 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.
