Synaptics Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results
    Gross margin expansion drives additional operating leverage
 
    1.4 million shares of common stock repurchased during the period; additional $100 million approved for stock repurchase program
Santa Clara, CA — October 20, 2011 — Synaptics (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $133.4 million compared with $153.2 million for the comparable quarter last year. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $13.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with net income of $18.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $19.1 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $24.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. (See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.)
“We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter considering the macroeconomic conditions impacting our markets, including further weakening in PC demand and general softness in consumer spending,” stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO. “As we transition through the anticipated revenue headwinds over the course of the fiscal year, our business model is benefitting from additional operating leverage as evidenced by the increase in our gross margin percentage.”
For the first quarter of fiscal 2012, PC revenue of $68.8 million decreased 13% from the comparable quarter last year, reflecting declines in demand for both consumer notebooks and PC peripherals, and represented 52% of total revenue. Non-PC revenue of $64.6 million, which consisted almost entirely of mobile phone touchscreen applications, decreased 13% from the prior year. Mobile units continued to grow substantially, with revenue impacted by the product mix transition away from integrated touchscreen modules.
Cash at September 30, 2011 totaled $241.4 million. Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $31.1 million, and the company used $33.5 million to repurchase 1.4 million shares of common stock.

Kathy Bayless, CFO, added, “Considering our backlog of approximately $85.0 million, customer forecasts, and the resulting expected product mix, we anticipate revenue to be in the range of $141.0 million to $149.0 million for the 14-week December quarter. We expect both PC and non-PC revenue to be up sequentially based on seasonal trends. While the product transition away from mobile phone integrated touchscreen modules is largely complete, the impact will be evident in our top line comparison, yielding lower revenue year-over-year.”
“Taking into consideration the product mix shift in mobile and the impact of global macroeconomic trends on our markets, our current outlook for the fiscal year suggests revenue to be down 1% to 6%. However, the mobile product mix shift has resulted in an expanded gross margin and as such, we anticipate gross profit dollars to be up year-over-year,” concluded Ms. Bayless.
Synaptics’ board of directors approved an additional $100 million for the stock repurchase program, bringing the remaining authorization to $134.3 million available for the repurchase of company common stock through October 2013.

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 share-based 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.
