Synaptics Reports Third Quarter Results

Increasing New Market Revenues Offset Seasonality in the Notebook Sector

April 22, 2004 – San Jose, CA – Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leader in interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 was $34.3 million, a 31% increase over the $26.1 million for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Actual (GAAP) net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 was $3.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, which includes non-cash charges related to the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation of $128,000. This represents a 69% increase from actual net income of $2.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year.

“We are very pleased with our financial results, as we posted another solid quarter despite the reported higher than expected inventory levels within the notebook sector during the period,” stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. “While we did see a higher than anticipated seasonal decline of shipments into the notebook market, it was offset by a richer product mix, and continued growth of our non-notebook revenue, which represented approximately 19% of total revenues and was driven by continued strength in the portable digital entertainment market. We maintained our leadership position in the notebook market through our emphasis on product innovation and are well poised to continue to expand our business outside of the notebook market.”

Russ Knittel, Synaptics’ Chief Financial Officer, added, “We met our revenue target and matched the December quarter’s record profitability level, generating more than $4 million of cash from operations during the quarter and exiting March with approximately $91 million in cash and short-term investments. Given that our design activity remains strong across our key focus areas, our outlook for the June quarter calls for a sequential revenue increase of up to three percent, reflecting growth in both the notebook and portable music player segments, followed by another sequential rise in the September quarter.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This website contains forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business, and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements may include words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "target," "strategy," "continue," "may," "will," "should," variations of such words, or other words and terms of similar meaning. All forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment and are based on several factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the risks as identified in the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our most recent fiscal year, and other risks as identified from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we do not have, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to publicly release any updates or any changes in our expectations, or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of the date of this filing.
