Synaptics Reports Record Revenue in the Second Quarter

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan 25, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006. Fiscal 2007 is a 53-week year for the Company; as such, the second quarter of fiscal 2007 is 14 weeks versus 13 weeks for the comparable quarter last year. The Company's GAAP results reflect the expensing of non-cash share-based compensation for all periods presented.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $76.1 million, an increase of approximately 57% over $48.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $9.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, which includes a one-time restructuring charge of $915,000 related to the geographic realignment of engineering resources, compared with net income of $4.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Net income excluding share-based compensation and restructuring costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $13.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with net income, excluding share-based compensation, of $7.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

"Synaptics achieved record revenue in the second quarter, with sequential growth of approximately 39% driven by increased demand across all of our markets," stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. "Design activity remains strong entering the second half of our fiscal year. In addition, our recently announced Synaptics OneTouch(TM) configurable offering complements our traditional systems-level approach and should enable us to more efficiently scale our business and penetrate additional new markets over the long term."

Russ Knittel, Synaptics' Chief Financial Officer, added, "Based on our current visibility, which includes backlog of $35.5 million heading into the seasonally slower March quarter, we anticipate revenue for the third fiscal quarter of approximately $58 million to $61 million, representing a 44% to 51% increase over the comparable period last year. Looking out into the June quarter, current indicators suggest revenue may be flat to moderately up relative to the March quarter. Based on our strong top-line performance in the first half of the fiscal year, we are firmly on track to achieve record revenue in fiscal 2007."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In evaluating our business, our management considers and uses net income per share excluding share-based compensation and restructuring costs as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation and restructuring costs is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. We present net income excluding share-based compensation and restructuring costs because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance. We believe this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences in net income caused by the existence and timing of non-cash compensation charges and restructuring costs. Net income excluding share-based compensation and restructuring costs has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for our GAAP net income. The principal limitations of this measure are that it does not reflect our actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating our net income and net income per share. We address these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP net income and using net income excluding share-based compensation and restructuring costs only supplementally.
