Synaptics Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2006 Financial Results
Santa Clara, CA — July 27, 2006 — Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s fiscal 2006 GAAP results reflect the adoption of SFAS 123(R) regarding the expensing of non-cash share-based compensation.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was $43.9 million compared with $56.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was $1.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with net income of $12.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, which included the benefit of a non-recurring item related to patent licensing. Net income excluding share-based compensation and non-recurring items for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was $4.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income excluding share-based compensation and non-recurring items of $9.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.
Net revenue for fiscal 2006 was $184.6 million compared with $208.1 million for fiscal 2005. Net income for fiscal 2006 was $13.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $38.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, for fiscal 2005. Net income excluding share-based compensation and non-recurring items for fiscal 2006 was $24.0 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, compared with net income excluding share-based compensation and non-recurring items of $35.9 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, for fiscal 2005.
“Our fiscal fourth quarter performance caps off another positive year for Synaptics, despite the tough comparison to last year’s record-breaking results,” stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. “During fiscal 2006, we expanded our industry-leading market share in the notebook market and further leveraged our technology into new, emerging digital lifestyle applications. As we enter fiscal 2007, we are very excited by the opportunities ahead of us and are well poised to meet the challenges within the dynamic, fast-growing markets we serve. We look forward to achieving strong year over year revenue growth, continued profitability and further progress towards our long-term growth and diversification strategy.”
Russ Knittel, Synaptics’ Chief Financial Officer, added, “Based on our current visibility, which includes a significant improvement in our backlog to $28.7 million at year end, we are raising our guidance for sequential revenue growth in the September quarter to 20% to 25%. This outlook is predicated on expected seasonality and, in particular, strong demand for our PC applications. Looking ahead to the seasonally strong December quarter, current indicators suggest revenue may be approximately 8% to 10% above our September quarter guidance levels. Any meaningful increase in demand from the portable digital entertainment market,

where our visibility and predictability are limited, would represent upside to our current outlook.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating our business, our management considers and uses net income excluding share-based compensation and non-recurring items and net income per share excluding share-based compensation and non-recurring items as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation and non-recurring items 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 non-recurring items 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 non-recurring items. Net income excluding share-based compensation and non-recurring items 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 non-recurring items only supplementally.
