Synaptics Reports Second Quarter Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan 19, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leader in interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005. The Company's GAAP results reflect the adoption of SFAS 123(R) regarding option expensing.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $48.6 million, a decrease of approximately 14% compared with $56.5 million of net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $4.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, a decrease of approximately 51% compared with $9.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006, which excludes non-cash share-based compensation net of tax, was $7.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a decrease of approximately 24% compared with non-GAAP net income of $9.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

"We are pleased to announce another solid quarter of execution with results within our expected guidance range," stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. "Design activity is strong across our target markets and general market trends continue to move in a direction favorable to Synaptics as we look to capitalize on the continuing shift towards mobility and multimedia applications in the PC sector, coupled with the growing adoption among consumers of digital lifestyle products, including portable audio and video devices."

Russ Knittel, Synaptics' Chief Financial Officer, added, "Based on current indicators and our backlog entering the third fiscal quarter, we anticipate revenue to be in the $42 to $45 million range. This guidance is based on expected seasonal declines following the holiday period. While our visibility beyond the March quarter is limited, we currently anticipate that revenue in the June quarter could be up sequentially from March quarter levels."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Synaptics discloses non-GAAP financial measures of net income and net income per share and believes that this non-GAAP information provides historical comparability of its core operating results over multiple reporting periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to net income and net income per share presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable to non-GAAP information provided by other companies. In accordance with SEC regulations, reconciliation of the Synaptics U.S. GAAP information to the non-GAAP information is provided in the tables attached. We will also make available on the investor relations page of our web site at www.synaptics.com this press release, which includes a reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures and a replay of the webcast.
