Synaptics Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Results

August 2, 2012

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2012.

The Company also announced in separate press releases today that it has acquired Pacinian Corporation and the Video Display Operation of Integrated Device Technology and is also ushering in a new era of human interaction solutions for mobile computing devices with its revolutionary ForcePad(TM), ThinTouch(TM) Technology, and expanded ClearPad(TM) capabilities.

Net revenue for fiscal 2012 was $548.2 million compared with $598.5 million for fiscal 2011. Net income for fiscal 2012 was $54.1 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared with $63.8 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, for fiscal 2011.

Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2012 was $78.6 million, or $2.28 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2011 of $88.9 million and $2.51, respectively. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $137.6 million compared with $143.4 million for the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $12.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with net income of $13.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $18.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $19.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)

“We are pleased with our fiscal 2012 performance, particularly against a backdrop of challenging market conditions,” stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO. “During the year, we strengthened our leadership position in our key markets, broadened and enhanced our solutions portfolio and our ability to scale to meet the opportunities in front of us, and continued to lay the foundation for long-term growth, as evidenced by today’s product and acquisition announcements.”

Fourth Quarter 2012 Business Metrics

  • Revenue mix from PC and non-PC applications was approximately 56% and 44%, respectively.
  • PC revenue totaled $77.1 million, a decrease of 1% year-over-year.
  • Non-PC revenue totaled $60.5 million, a decrease of 8% year-over-year, primarily reflecting mobile phone touchscreen applications. Mobile unit volume continued to grow substantially with revenue impacted by the product mix transition from modules to lower priced, higher gross margin chip and tail touchscreen solutions.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin was 46.2%, an increase of 380 basis points year-over-year.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin was 17.3%, up 20 basis points year-over-year.

Cash at June 30, 2012 totaled $305.0 million. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $21.7 million, and the Company used $28.2 million to repurchase one million shares of common stock. Cash flow from operations for the fiscal year was $101.4 million, and $61.7 million was used to repurchase 2.4 million shares of common stock.

Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, ” Considering our backlog of approximately $50.0 million, customer forecasts, and the resulting expected product mix, we anticipate revenue to be in the range of $120.0 million to $128.0 million for the September quarter. We expect PC revenue to be down on a sequential basis, reflecting a soft PC environment and the timing difference between our sell-in and OEM sell-through, as well as lower revenue from mobile applications due to the soft global market.”

Mr. Bergman added, “Looking ahead, we believe we are making the right investments at the right time and are very well positioned as the world’s leading human interface company based on our unparalleled touch capabilities and advanced technology roadmap. Despite the near-term macroeconomic and product-transition based headwinds in our markets, we expect to return to modest annual revenue growth in fiscal 2013 and look forward to another year of progress and innovation.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items is not a measurement of the company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. The company presents net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance. The company believes this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences in net income caused by the existence and timing of share-based compensation charges and unusual or non-recurring items. Net income excluding share-based compensation and unusual or non-recurring items has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s GAAP net income. The principal limitations of this measure are that it does not reflect the company’s actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its net income and net income per share.
