Synaptics Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

October 25, 2012

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $127.0 million compared with $133.4 million for the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $6.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with net income of $13.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $12.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $19.1 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)

“First quarter revenue was at the high end of our guidance range, reflecting better than anticipated revenue from mobile phone touchscreen applications, partially offset by lower than expected PC revenue,” stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO. “The first half of fiscal 2013 is unfolding largely as anticipated, and we are encouraged by our strong design pipeline based on our broad portfolio of solutions and continued track record of execution. We are investing in the right areas and continue to position the company for long-term growth.”

First Quarter 2013 Business Metrics

  • Revenue mix from mobile and PC products was approximately 51% and 49%, respectively.
  • Revenue from mobile products totaled $64.6 million and was roughly flat year-over-year. Mobile products revenue includes touchscreen and video display products.
  • Revenue from PC products totaled $62.4 million, a decrease of 9% year-over-year.
  • Gross margin was 47.7%, an increase of 180 basis points year-over-year.
  • Net income reflects additional operating expenses associated with the company’s recent acquisitions, as previously indicated.

Cash at September 30, 2012 increased $7.9 million from the immediately preceding quarter to $312.9 million. Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $29.6 million. The company used $11.9 million for the purchase of its new headquarters and $5.0 million for the purchase of the video display operation of IDT, as previously announced.

Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, “Considering our backlog of approximately $74.0 million, customer forecasts, and the resulting expected product mix, we anticipate revenue to be in the range of $134.0 million to $142.0 million for the December quarter, an increase of 6% to 12% from the immediately preceding quarter. We expect both PC and mobile products revenue to be up sequentially based on strength from new product ramps as well as seasonal trends.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income excluding share-based compensation and certain non-cash or non-recurring items as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation and certain non-cash 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 certain non-cash 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 certain non-cash or non-recurring items. Net income excluding share-based compensation and certain non-cash 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.
