     Synaptics Reports Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal 2010
    Net revenue of $133.3 million, up 11% sequentially
 
    Non-PC revenue grew 33% sequentially
 
    Continued innovation with ScrybeTM and FuseTM introductions
 
    Retired $63 million of debt; repurchased 783,000 shares of stock
Santa Clara, CA — January 21, 2010 — Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $133.3 million, an increase of approximately 11% over net revenue of $119.6 million for the previous quarter and a decrease of approximately 6% from net revenue of $141.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $12.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with net income of $9.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the previous quarter and $17.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, which excludes non-cash charges for interest expense and share-based compensation, was $21.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with net income of $17.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the previous quarter and net income of $29.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)
“Robust demand for Synaptics’ touch solutions drove solid results for the December quarter,” stated Tom Tiernan, CEO. “Synaptics continues its leadership in innovation, and our design activity remains strong. At the recent CES show, we experienced strong interest in our new Scrybe gesture workflow solution and the Fuse concept phone, demonstrating new usage models made possible with our technology. As a market leader in capacitive touch solutions, Synaptics is well positioned to capitalize on expanding market opportunities by delivering advanced designs that generate compelling value to leading OEMs and their customers.”
PC revenue of $73.6 million represented 55% of total revenue for the quarter. Synaptics continued to drive increasing penetration of its multi-finger gesture enabled TouchPadsTM and innovative product offerings, such as ClickPadTM.
Non-PC revenue of $59.7 million comprised 45% of total revenue for the quarter and grew 33% sequentially. Non-PC revenue growth was driven by

 


 

          (SYNAPTICS LOGO)
increasing adoption of Synaptics’ capacitive touchscreen solutions by major mobile handset manufacturers and strong demand for personal entertainment devices.
Cash and short-term investments at December 31, 2009 totaled $140.0 million. Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $25.7 million. The Company used $63.0 million to retire all but $2.3 million of its 0.75% convertible notes and used $19.1 million to buy back approximately 783,000 shares of its common stock under its stock repurchase program.
Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, “Considering backlog of approximately $58 million entering the quarter, expected product mix, customer order patterns, and customer forecasts, we anticipate revenue in the March quarter to be between $110 million and $115 million, an increase of 9% to 14% over the comparable quarter last year. Taking into account first half results, design wins, customer forecasts, and visibility into our pipeline of new business opportunities, we anticipate fiscal 2010 revenue to be in the range of $495 million to $505 million.”
In the December quarter, the Company identified a calculation error in the third-party equity accounting software commonly used in industry, resulting in an understatement of previously reported non-cash share-based compensation. The cumulative error to GAAP net income since the adoption in fiscal 2006 of FAS123R was $3.1 million and was determined to be immaterial to previously reported financial results. In accordance with current accounting guidance, the December quarter GAAP results reflect the cumulative impact of correcting the calculation error. The correction did not impact non-GAAP results.

devices through improved usability, functionality, and industrial design. The Company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California. www.synaptics.com

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.
