San Jose, CA – January 26, 2017 – Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA), the leading developer of human interface solutions, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016.

Net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 19 percent sequentially and declined 2 percent from the comparable quarter last year to $461.3 million. GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased $19.1 million sequentially from $3.7 million and decreased 35 percent from the prior year period to $22.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 56 percent sequentially and declined 11 percent from the prior year period to $53.4 million, or $1.49 per diluted share. This includes benefit of $0.11 per diluted share for the reduction of the year-to-date non-GAAP tax rate in the second quarter. (See below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” and the attached table for a description and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.)

“We are pleased to report solid results for the second fiscal quarter,” stated Rick Bergman, President and CEO. “We saw several positive developments during the period including continued traction for our TDDI and fingerprint sensing solutions; the expansion of our biometrics portfolio with optical technology and our multi-factor biometric fusion engine; the introduction of our first display driver solution for OLED-based smartphones, which is now sampling to customers; and significant progress towards our in-display integration roadmap. We are benefitting from the investments we have made in key growth areas, strengthening our market leading position and expanding our customer base.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In evaluating its business, Synaptics considers and uses Non-GAAP Net Income, which

---

 

we define as net income excluding share-based compensation, acquisition related costs, and certain other non-cash or recurring and non-recurring items the company doesn’t believe are indicative of its core operating performance as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Non-GAAP Net Income 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 Non-GAAP Net Income because it considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance since it 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, acquisition related costs, and certain other non-cash or recurring and non-recurring items. Non-GAAP Net Income 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 as compared to its operating results reported under GAAP.

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 the fiscal year ended June 25, 2016, 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.
