Synaptics Reports Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal 2009
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 23, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2009. The Company's GAAP results reflect the expensing of non-cash share-based compensation and non-cash impairment charges for all periods presented; and non-operating gains for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2009.
Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $100.6 million, an increase of approximately 28% over $78.9 million of net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $6.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008 included non-cash impairment charges of $2.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, related to the Company's investment in auction rate securities. Excluding non-cash charges for share-based compensation and impairment of auction rate securities for both periods, net income was $13.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with net income of $8.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
"We delivered another quarter of very solid results despite the current challenging environment," stated Francis Lee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. "Revenue from PC applications exceeded our expectations, and we furthered our penetration of the mobile phone market, where the installed base of capacitive interface solutions continues to be very low. Our design pipeline remains robust, and we continue to make the necessary investments to scale our business to address the abundant opportunities for our solutions moving forward. Despite the ongoing flux in the macroeconomic environment, we expect to end fiscal 2009 with record revenue and net income."
Russ Knittel, Synaptics' Chief Financial Officer, added, "We continue to take a prudent approach towards managing our business in the current economic climate. Based on our current visibility and backlog of $72.2 million exiting the March quarter, we anticipate revenue in the June quarter will be $105 million to $115 million, an increase of 8% to 19% over the comparable quarter last year."
Synaptics' cash and short-term investments at the end of March totaled $174.5 million. This balance excludes $29.9 million at book value of auction rate securities, which are included in non-current assets on the balance sheet. Based on a fair value analysis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has recorded a net $2.9 million non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge to its quarterly earnings. "We will continue to monitor our investments in auction rate securities in light of the current debt market environment," stated Mr. Knittel.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income per share 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 non-cash 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.
