Synaptics Reports Record Revenue and Net Income for Second Quarter of Fiscal 2009
Santa Clara, CA – January 22, 2009 – Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2008. The Company’s GAAP results reflect the expensing of non-cash share-based compensation for all periods presented; non-operating gains and non-cash impairment charges for all fiscal 2009 periods presented; and non-cash operating gains and impairment charges for the six-month period ended December 31, 2007.
Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $141.5 million, an increase of approximately 43% over $98.7 million of net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $21.2 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared with net income of $14.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 included a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $6.5 million related to the Company’s investment in auction rate securities and a $3.6 million net gain on the early retirement of debt. Net income, excluding non-cash charges for share-based compensation, the non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge, and the net gain on the early retirement of debt, was $29.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared with net income, excluding share-based compensation, of $17.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
“In spite of the current macroeconomic environment, we posted the highest quarterly revenue, net income and earnings per share in our history, driven by 43% revenue growth year-over-year,” stated Francis Lee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. “The benefits of our revenue diversification strategy are clearly evident in our operating performance as our penetration in the mobile handheld markets more than offset a relatively small decline in PC based revenue in a generally weak notebook market. We intend to continue to selectively invest to further strengthen our competitive position emerging from the current economic downturn. Based on our strong first half performance, we are on track to achieve record revenue and profits in fiscal 2009.”
Russ Knittel, Synaptics’ Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are expecting solid year-over-year growth for the fiscal third quarter despite the challenging macroeconomic conditions. Based on our current visibility and backlog of $50.6 million exiting the December quarter, we anticipate revenue in the March quarter will be $88 million to $98 million, an increase of 12% to 24% over the comparable quarter last year.”
During the quarter, the Company retired $59.7 million of its outstanding convertible notes at a discount of approximately 7%. After deducting the associated unamortized debt issuance costs, the Company realized a $3.6 million net gain on retirement of debt.

 


 

(SYNAPTICS LOGO)
Synaptics’ cash and short-term investments at the end of December, which excludes $29.4 million book value of auction rate securities, totaled $136.8 million. Based on a fair value analysis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company has accounted for a net $6.5 million non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge to its quarterly earnings and a $611,000 net reduction of temporary impairment through other comprehensive income in the equity section of its balance sheet. “We will continue to monitor our investments in auction rate securities in light of the current debt market environment,” 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 GAAP 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.
