Synaptics Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan 23, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --

Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leader in touch pads and other human interface solutions for mobile computing and communications devices, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2002.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was $24.2 million, compared to $26.4 million for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Actual (GAAP) net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was $1.8 million, or $0.08 per basic share and $0.07 per diluted share. This compares with actual net income of $2.8 million, or $0.42 per basic share and $0.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2002.

Pro forma net income for the second quarter, excluding non-cash charges related to the amortization of intangibles and deferred stock-based compensation, was $2.0 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share. This compares to pro forma net income of $3.0 million, or $0.44 per basic share and $0.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.

"We are pleased to announce solid second quarter results," stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. "The business environment showed signs of stabilization in customer order patterns and inventory levels, and sales of notebook computers met or exceeded most industry forecasts during the holiday season. Our product milestones for the current quarter remain on track, with several of our earlier design wins in both notebooks and new markets scheduled to move into production."

Russ Knittel, Synaptics' Chief Financial Officer, added, "Although our revenue and profitability are down from the prior year period, we are pleased to report sequential growth in revenue and profits, reflecting our strong execution in a challenging business environment. Looking forward, we expect to achieve sequential revenue growth of up to four percent in the seasonally slower March quarter, as well as another consecutive revenue increase in the June quarter. We expect to continue to be profitable and cash flow positive, further strengthening our balance sheet and providing us with a solid foundation to continue to make investments in the company's future."
