Synaptics Reports First Quarter Results
Santa Clara, CA – October 19, 2006 – Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006. The Company’s GAAP results reflect the expensing of non-cash share-based compensation for all periods presented.
Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $54.8 million, an increase of approximately 6% over $51.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $4.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Net income excluding share-based compensation for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $6.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with net income excluding share-based compensation of $8.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
“Revenue for the fiscal first quarter grew nearly 25% sequentially and was at the high end of our guidance range,” stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. “Our strong top line growth reflects general seasonality in our target markets and, in particular, strong demand within our core PC market based on the ramp of new designs integrating our multi-media oriented products. As anticipated, our product mix during the quarter resulted in lower gross margin, although still within our target range. We expect to see continued momentum into the holiday season and are anticipating record revenue in the December quarter.”
Russ Knittel, Synaptics’ Chief Financial Officer, added, “Based on our current visibility, which includes a 53% increase in our backlog to $43.9 million, we now expect sequential revenue growth in the fourteen week December quarter of 25% to 35%. This outlook is predicated on continued strong seasonal trends, with increased demand from both PC and non-PC applications. We expect revenue in the March quarter to approach September quarter levels, largely dependent on December quarter sell through and consumer demand relative to seasonal trends in the first calendar quarter. Finally, we are raising our outlook for fiscal 2007 revenue growth to a range of 25% to 30% over the prior year.”
Earnings Call Information
The Synaptics first quarter teleconference and webcast is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on Thursday, October 19, 2006, during which the Company will provide forward-looking information. To participate on the live call, analysts and investors should dial 800-240-6709 at least ten minutes prior to the call. Synaptics will also offer a live and archived webcast of the conference call, accessible from the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s Web site at www.synaptics.com.

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