Synaptics Reports Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal 2008
Santa Clara, CA — April 24, 2008 — 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, 2008. The Company’s GAAP results reflect the expensing of non-cash share-based compensation for all periods presented and non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charges for all fiscal 2008 periods presented.
Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $78.9 million, an increase of approximately 23% over $64.3 million in net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $3.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 included a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $2.2 million related to the Company’s investment in auction rate securities. Excluding share-based compensation and the non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $8.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with $8.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
“During the fiscal third quarter, we experienced solid year-over-year revenue growth in our PC and non-PC markets of 20% and 34%, respectively. Revenue from mobile phone applications approached 10% of total net revenue, and we expect it to trend up through the remainder of the calendar year,” stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. “During the quarter, we made progress in scaling the organization to support our growing pipeline of design opportunities. Additionally, we aggressively executed on our stock buyback program by purchasing 4 million shares, further underscoring our confidence in Synaptics’ prospects as well as our commitment to delivering stockholder value.”
Russ Knittel, Synaptics’ Chief Financial Officer, added, “We exited the March quarter with a healthy backlog of $48.1 million, an increase of approximately 28% compared with the prior quarter end. Based on our backlog and current visibility, we anticipate revenue in the June quarter will be $90 million to $95 million, an increase of 26% to 33% over the comparable quarter last year. Although we are mindful of the broader macroeconomic concerns, looking out into the September quarter, current visibility suggests sequential revenue growth in the range of 8% to 14% relative to the mid-point of our anticipated June quarter revenue level.”
Synaptics’ cash and short-term investments at the end of March, excluding all auction rate securities, totaled $156.6 million. The Company’s total investment in auction rate securities was $48.6 million, all of which are investment grade securities that are paying interest at the contractual rates. Based on a fair value analysis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has accounted for non-cash impairment of $7.3 million, of which $5.1 million is temporary and $2.2 million is other-than-temporary. “We will continue to monitor our investments in auction rate securities in light of the current debt market environment. We are confident that our existing cash and other short-term investments and our expected future cash flow from operations will be sufficient to allow us to continue to hold our current auction rate

securities. If we hold our auction rate securities to term, and if the issuer pays all amounts due, the impairment charges would be reversed,” 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 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.
