Synaptics Reports Record Second Quarter Results

Revenue Grows 48% and Net Income More than Doubles from the Immediately
Preceding Quarter

San Jose, CA – January 20, 2005 – Synaptics (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leader in interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $56.5 million, an increase of approximately 65% over the $34.3 million of net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $9.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. This represents an increase of approximately 178% compared with net income of $3.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

“We had a tremendous quarter and achieved our third consecutive quarter of record revenue and earnings,” stated Francis Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synaptics. “Our results reflect robust demand for portable digital music players during the holiday season as revenue outside of the PC market grew sharply to 43% of total revenue compared with 33% in the immediately preceding quarter. Our performance in the notebook segment was also better than anticipated, as total PC revenue grew 26% sequentially, including contributions from our desktop and peripherals initiatives.”

Russ Knittel, Synaptics’ Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are entering the March quarter with a very strong backlog of approximately $35 million and, based on current indicators, are projecting revenue in the third fiscal quarter to be approximately flat compared to the December quarter. This projection is based on expected seasonal declines in the notebook sector, offset by continued robust demand for portable music players. We expect revenue in the June quarter to be up sequentially from March quarter levels based on our current visibility and typical consumer patterns. Fiscal 2005 is shaping up to be an outstanding year based on our record first half performance and current outlook for the second half of the year.”

Earnings Call Information

The Synaptics second quarter teleconference and webcast is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on Thursday, January 20, 2005, during which management may discuss forward-looking information. To participate on the live call, analysts and investors should dial 800-240-6709 at least ten minutes prior to the call. Synaptics will also offer a live and archived webcast of the conference call, accessible from the “Investor Relations” section of the company’s Web site at http://www.synaptics.com/.

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.
