Exhibit 99.1
SemiLEDs Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2019
Financial Results
Hsinchu, Taiwan (January 10, 2019) — 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 first quarter of fiscal year 2019, ended November 30, 2018.
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $972 thousand, a 50% decrease compared to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $983 thousand, compared to a loss of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, or a net loss of $0.27 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.32 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Due to the excess capacity charges that we have experienced for the last few years, considering the risk of technological obsolescence and based on the sales forecast production, we disposed of certain of our idle equipment during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which reduced our net loss.
GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was negative 23%, compared with gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 of negative 11%. Operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was negative 105%, compared with negative 62% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $2.6 million at November 30, 2018, compared to $3.4 million at the end of fiscal 2018.
We expect revenue for the second quarter ending February 28, 2019 to be about $1.5 million +/- 10%.
The Chinese New Year (CNY) of 2019 will begin on February 4, 2019. Our office and factory in Chunan will be closed from February 2, 2019 until February 17, 2019 and will resume operations on Monday, February 18, 2019.
