SUNNYVALE, Calif. - July 18, 2016 - Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
GAAP Financial Results:
Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $76.5 million, which was up 5% from the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to higher revenue from security technology development projects, including revenue from the acquisition of SCS. As compared to the second quarter of 2015, revenue was up 5% primarily due to higher revenue from security technology development projects, including revenue from the acquisition of SCS, offset by lower royalty revenue from various customers.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $149.2 million, which was up 2% over the prior year period, primarily due to higher revenue from security technology development projects, offset by lower royalty revenue from various customers.
Total operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2016 were $64.5 million, 2% higher than the previous quarter and 13% higher than the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter operating costs and expenses of $64.5 million included $5.0 million of stock-based compensation expenses, $8.2 million of amortization expenses and $0.8 million of acquisition-related transaction costs. In comparison, total operating costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2016 of $63.4 million included $4.9 million of stock-based compensation expenses, $7.7 million of amortization expenses and $1.8 million of acquisition-related transaction costs. Total operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $57.3 million which included $4.4 million of stock-based compensation expenses and $6.3 million of amortization expenses. The change in total operating costs and expenses in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to higher consulting costs, higher prototyping costs, higher headcount related costs, higher amortization expense due to the SCS acquisition in the first quarter of 2016 and lower gain from settlement, partially offset by lower bonus accrual expense and lower acquisition-related transaction costs. The change in total operating costs and expenses in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to higher headcount related costs, higher amortization expense, higher acquisition-related transaction costs and lower gain from sale of intellectual property, partially offset by lower prototyping costs.
Total operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $127.9 million, 14% higher than the six months ended June 30, 2015. The six months operating costs and expenses of $127.9 million included $9.9 million of stock-based compensation expenses, $15.9 million of amortization expenses and $2.6 million of acquisition-related transaction costs. This is compared to total operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $112.3 million, which included $8.2 million of stock-based compensation expenses and $12.6 million of amortization expenses. The change in total operating costs and expenses was primarily attributable to higher headcount related costs, higher amortization expense, higher acquisition-related transaction costs, lower gain from sale of intellectual property, higher stock-based compensation expense and higher expenses related to software design tools offset by lower prototyping costs.
Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $3.9 million as compared to net income of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 and net income of $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. Diluted net income per share for the second quarter of 2016
was $0.03 as compared to diluted net income per share of $0.02 in the first quarter of 2016 and diluted net income per share of $0.06 in the second quarter of 2015, respectively.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $5.8 million as compared to a net income of $16.4 million for the same period of 2015. Diluted net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.05 as compared to a diluted net income per share of $0.14 for the same period of 2015.
Non-GAAP Financial Results (1):
Total non-GAAP operating costs and expenses in the second quarter of 2016 were $50.5 million, which was 3% higher than the previous quarter, and 9% higher than the second quarter of 2015.
Total non-GAAP operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $99.5 million as compared to $91.5 million in the same period of 2015 due primarily to higher headcount related costs, lower gain from sale of intellectual property and higher expenses related to software design tools offset by lower prototyping costs.
Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2016 was $16.7 million, 14% higher than the prior quarter and 4% higher than the second quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.15 in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to $0.13 in the prior quarter and $0.13 in the second quarter of 2015.
Non-GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $31.3 million as compared to $33.0 million in the same period of 2015. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.28 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to non-GAAP diluted net income per share of $0.28 in the same period of 2015.
Other Financial Highlights:
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2016 were $259.3 million, an increase of $33.8 million from March 31, 2016. The increase in cash was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities.

Third Quarter 2016 Outlook:
For the third quarter of 2016, the Company expects revenue to be between $75 million and $80 million. Achieving revenue in this range will require that the Company sign new customer agreements for mobile payments software and solutions licensing among other matters.

(1) | Non-GAAP Financial Information: |
In the commentary set forth above and in the financial statements included in this earnings release, the Company presents the following non-GAAP financial measures: operating costs and expenses, operating income (loss) and net income (loss). In computing each of these non-GAAP financial measures, the following items were considered as discussed below: stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related transaction costs and retention bonus expense, amortization expenses, non-cash interest expense and certain other one-time adjustments. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate for both its own assessment of, and to show investors, how the Company’s performance compares to other periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial statements contained in this release.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
Stock-based compensation expense. These expenses primarily relate to employee stock options, employee stock purchase plans, and employee non-vested equity stock and non-vested stock units. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because such expenses are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. Additionally, given the fact that other companies may grant different amounts and types of equity awards and may use different option valuation assumptions, excluding stock-based compensation expense permits more accurate comparisons of the Company’s results with peer companies.
Acquisition-related transaction costs and retention bonus expense. These expenses include all direct costs of certain acquisitions and the current periods’ portion of any retention bonus expense associated with the acquisitions. The Company excludes these expenses in order to provide better comparability between periods.
Amortization expense. The Company incurs expenses for the amortization of intangible assets acquired in acquisitions. The Company excludes these items because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts arise from the Company’s prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of the Company’s core business.
Non-cash interest expense on convertible notes. The Company incurs non-cash interest expense related to its convertible notes. The Company excludes non-cash interest expense related to its convertible notes to provide more accurate comparisons of the Company’s results with other peer companies and to more accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing operations.
Income tax adjustments. For purposes of internal forecasting, planning and analyzing future periods that assume net income from operations, the Company estimates a fixed, long-term projected tax rate of approximately 35 percent for periods in 2016 and 36 percent for periods in 2015, which consists of estimated U.S. federal and state tax rates, and excludes tax rates associated with certain items such as withholding tax, tax credits, deferred tax asset valuation allowance and the release of any deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company has applied these tax rates to its non-GAAP financial results for all periods in the relevant years to assist the Company’s planning for future periods. The Company has provided below a reconciliation of its GAAP provision for income taxes and GAAP effective tax rate to the assumed non-GAAP provision for income taxes and non-GAAP effective tax rate.
On occasion in the future, there may be other items, such as impairments and significant gains or losses from contingencies that the Company may exclude in deriving its non-GAAP financial measures if it believes that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.
