Synaptics Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2013. 

Net revenue of $222.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was a record for a September quarter and increased 75% compared with $127.0 million for the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $34.9 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. 

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $45.9 million, or $1.31 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $12.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.) 

"In addition to posting substantial revenue growth during the fiscal first quarter, we made strong progress on a number of fronts," stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO.  "We saw a growing number of devices deploy our on-cell and in-cell display integrated solutions, continued to gain traction in the China mobile market, and broadened our customer base in large touchscreens through key new design wins in tablets and touch-enabled notebooks.  Following a strong first quarter, the first half of the fiscal year is tracking according to plan, and we expect to post top-line growth in excess of 50% over the same period last year." 

"We recently announced Synaptics' entry into the fast growing fingerprint ID market through a definitive agreement to acquire Validity. We believe this acquisition reinforces our market leadership in human interface technology while significantly expanding our market opportunity," concluded Mr. Bergman.  

First Quarter 2014 Business Metrics

  • Revenue mix from mobile and PC products was approximately 73% and 27%, respectively.
  • Revenue from mobile products of $162.7 million was up 152% year-over-year and down 6% sequentially. Mobile products revenue includes all touchscreen and video display products.
  • Revenue from PC products totaled $59.9 million, a decrease of 4% year-over-year and an increase of 5% sequentially.
  • Gross margin was 49.1%, an increase of 140 basis points year-over-year.

Cash at September 30, 2013 was $331.6 million. Cash flow from operations for the first quarter was $28.9 million. The company used $50.0 million to repurchase 1.2 million shares of common stock.

Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, "The September quarter benefitted from greater strength in mobile revenue than anticipated based on the timing of customer channel fill ahead of the holiday season. Considering our backlog of approximately $117.0 million entering the typically front-end loaded December quarter, customer forecasts, and the resulting expected product mix, we anticipate revenue (exclusive of the impending closure of the acquisition of Validity) to be in the range of $192.0 million to $208.0 million for the second quarter, an increase of 34% to 45% on a year-over-year basis."

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.

Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the company's belief that it has made strong progress on a number of fronts, including the growing number of devices deployed with its on-cell and in-cell display integrated solutions, continuing to gain traction in the China mobile market, and broadening its customer base in large touchscreens through key new design wins in tablets and touch-enabled notebooks; the company's expectation that it will post top-line growth in the first half of the fiscal year in excess of 50% over the same period last year; the company's belief that its acquisition of Validity reinforces its market leadership in human interface technology while significantly expanding its market opportunity; the company's anticipated revenue for its second quarter.  Synaptics cautions that these statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements contained herein.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, (a) demand for Synaptics' products, (b) market demand for OEMs' products using Synaptics' solutions, (c) changing market demand trends in the markets Synaptics serves, (d) the success of Synaptics' customers' products that utilize Synaptics' product solutions, (e) the development and launch cycles of Synaptics' customers' products, (f) market pressures on selling prices, (g) changes in product mix, (h) the market acceptance of Synaptics' product solutions compared with competitors' solutions, (i) general economic conditions, including consumer confidence and demand, and (j) other risks as identified from time to time in Synaptics'SEC reports, including Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
