SemiLEDs Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2017

Financial Results

Hsinchu, Taiwan (April 12, 2017) — 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 2017, ended February 28, 2017.

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.8 million, a 32% decrease compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.1 million, or a net loss of $0.32 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.7 million, or a net loss of $0.20 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In the second quarter, we shut down our manufacturing production for two weeks due to the Chinese New Year holiday.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.1 million, or a net loss of $0.30 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders of $0.6 million, or a loss of $0.17 in the first quarter of 2017.

GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was breakeven, compared with gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 of 4%. Operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was negative 62%, compared with negative 41% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $4.1 million at February 28, 2017, compared to $4.8 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

We expect revenue for the third quarter ending May 31, 2017 to be approximately $2.0 million +/- 10%.

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.
