Synaptics Reports Results for First Quarter of Fiscal 2010
    Record first fiscal quarter net revenue of $119.6 million
 
    PC revenue up 14% sequentially
 
    Non-PC revenue increased 39% year-over-year
 
    1 million shares of common stock repurchased
Santa Clara, CA – October 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 first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $119.6 million, an increase of approximately 4% over $115.3 million of net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and an increase of approximately 3% over $115.9 million of net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $9.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with net income of $12.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and $12.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which excludes non-cash charges for interest expense, share-based compensation, an investment write down, and a one-time income tax charge, was $17.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared with net income of $17.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and net income of $17.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)
“We are reporting the highest September quarter net revenue in our company’s history. We continue to be the clear leader for touchpads in the notebook sector, with the industry’s most comprehensive and innovative product lineup. We saw a sharp year-over-year increase in our mobile touchscreen business, where we are working with the top handset makers to broaden penetration of capacitive touchscreen phones around the world. Synaptics won a number of important new designs during the quarter, and design activity remains robust,” said Tom Tiernan, CEO.
PC revenue of $74.6 million represented 62% of total revenue for the quarter, reflecting 14% sequential growth. This growth was driven by solid penetration of Synaptics’ technology in netbooks and continued strong uptake of Synaptics’ multi-finger, gesture-enabled TouchPadsTM. New

     (SYNAPTICS LOGO)
product offerings including ClickPadTM, which eliminates traditional mechanical buttons and incorporates this functionality into the touchpad, are also seeing strong adoption in the market.
Non-PC revenue of $45.0 million comprised 38% of total revenue for the quarter and grew 39% year-over-year. Growth was driven by increased adoption of capacitive touchscreen solutions among major mobile handset manufacturers. Synaptics continues to work with the leading handset OEMs globally to fuel mass market adoption of capacitive touchscreens.
Cash and short-term investments increased to $197.6 million at September 30, 2009. During the quarter, the Company generated $29.9 million of cash flow from operations and bought back one million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $25.5 million under its stock repurchase program.
Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, “Looking ahead to the December quarter and considering the dynamic nature of our markets, customer forecasts, and backlog of $71 million exiting September, we anticipate revenue between $128 million and $134 million. Our revenue outlook for fiscal 2010 of $495 million to $525 million has not changed and is based on current customer forecasts and new design wins combined with visibility into our pipeline of new business opportunities.”
The Company’s GAAP results reflect the adoption of ASC 470-20, previously referred to as FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion.” The adoption of this accounting standard, which must be applied on a retrospective basis, results in a non-cash interest charge to the current and all prior periods presented. (See attached table for the impact of the new accounting standard on previously reported fiscal 2009 results.)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses net income per share excluding share-based compensation, non-cash interest charges, and unusual or non-recurring items as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Net income excluding share-based compensation, non cash interest charges, 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, non-cash interest charges, 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, non-cash interest charges, and unusual or non-recurring items. Net income excluding share-based compensation, non-cash interest charges, 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.

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.
